_Isab._ Ay, with such gifts that heaven shall share with you. _Lucio._ [_Aside to Isab._] Yon had marr'd all else. _Isab._ Not with fond shekels of the tested gold, Or stones whose rates are either rich or poor 150 As fancy values them; but with true prayers That shall be up at heaven and enter there Ere sun-rise, prayers from preserved souls, From fasting maids whose minds are dedicate To nothing temporal. _Ang._ Well; come to me to-morrow. 155 _Lucio._ [_Aside to Isab._] Go to; 'tis well; away! _Isab._ Heaven keep your honour safe! _Ang._ [_Aside_] Amen: For I am that way going to temptation, Where prayers cross. _Isab._ At what hour to-morrow Shall I attend your lordship? _Ang._ At any time 'fore noon. 160 _Isab._ 'Save your honour! [_Exeunt Isabella, Lucio, and Provost._ _Ang._ From thee,--even from thy virtue! What's this, what's this? Is this her fault or mine? The tempter or the tempted, who sins most? Ha! Not she; nor doth she tempt: but it is I 165 That, lying by the violet in the sun, Do as the carrion does, not as the flower, Corrupt with virtuous season. Can it be That modesty may more betray our sense Than woman's lightness? Having waste ground enough, 170 Shall we desire to raze the sanctuary, And pitch our evils there? O, fie, fie, fie! What dost thou, or what art thou, Angelo? Dost thou desire her foully for those things That make her good? O, let her brother live: 175 Thieves for their robbery have authority When judges steal themselves. What, do I love her, That I desire to hear her speak again, And feast upon her eyes? What is't I dream on? O cunning enemy, that, to catch a saint, 180 With saints dost bait thy hook! Most dangerous Is that temptation that doth goad us on To sin in loving virtue: never could the strumpet, With all her double vigour, art and nature, Once stir my temper; but this virtuous maid 185 Subdues me quite. Ever till now, When men were fond, I smiled, and wonder'd how. [_Exit._ NOTES: II, 2. SCENE II.] SCENE VI. Pope. [Transcriber's Note: Pope's Scene VII is not identified.
