The matter being afoot, keep your instruction, And hold you ever to our special drift; Though sometimes you do blench from this to that, 5 As cause doth minister. Go call at Flavius' house, And tell him where I stay: give the like notice To Valentius, Rowland, and to Crassus, And bid them bring the trumpets to the gate; But send me Flavius first. _Fri. P._ It shall be speeded well. [_Exit._ 10 _Enter VARRIUS._ _Duke._ I thank thee, Varrius; thou hast made good haste: Come, we will walk. There's other of our friends Will greet us here anon, my gentle Varrius. [_Exeunt._ NOTES: IV, 5. SCENE V.] SCENE XIII. Pope. FRIAR PETER] See note (XXI). 6: _Go_] om.

SCENE VI. _Street near the city-gate._ _Enter ISABELLA and MARIANA._ _Isab._ To speak so indirectly I am loath: I would say the truth; but to accuse him so, That is your part: yet I am advised to do it; He says, to veil full purpose. _Mari._ Be ruled by him. _Isab._ Besides, he tells me that, if peradventure 5 He speak against me on the adverse side, I should not think it strange; for 'tis a physic That's bitter to sweet end. _Mari._ I would Friar Peter-- _Isab._ O, peace! the friar is come. _Enter FRIAR PETER._ _Fri. P._ Come, I have found you out a stand most fit, 10 Where you may have such vantage on the Duke, He shall not pass you. Twice have the trumpets sounded; The generous and gravest citizens Have hent the gates, and very near upon The Duke is entering: therefore, hence, away! [_Exeunt._ 15 NOTES: IV, 6.
