_Ang._ Yet, give leave, my lord,
That we may bring you something on the way.
_Duke._ My haste may not admit it;
Nor need you, on mine honour, have to do
With any scruple; your scope is as mine own, 65
So to enforce or qualify the laws
As to your soul seems good. Give me your hand:
I'll privily away. I love the people,
But do not like to stage me to their eyes:
Though it do well, I do not relish well 70
Their loud applause and Aves vehement;
Nor do I think the man of safe discretion
That does affect it. Once more, fare you well.
_Ang._ The heavens give safety to your purposes!
_Escal._ Lead forth and bring you back in happiness! 75
_Duke._ I thank you. Fare you well. [_Exit._
_Escal._ I shall desire you, sir, to give me leave
To have free speech with you; and it concerns me
To look into the bottom of my place:
A power I have, but of what strength and nature 80
I am not yet instructed.
_Ang._ 'Tis so with me. Let us withdraw together,
And we may soon our satisfaction have
Touching that point.
_Escal._ I'll wait upon your honour. [_Exeunt._
