_Bar._ You see I answer him, and yet he stays; [_To_ F. BARN. Rid him away, and go you home with me. _F. Jac._ I'll be with you to-night. _Bar._ Come to my house at one o'clock this night. [_To_ F. JAC. _F. Jac._ You hear your answer, and you may be gone. _F. Barn._ Why, go get you away. _F. Jac._ I will not go for thee. _F. Barn._ Not! then I'll make thee go. _F. Jac._ How, dost call me rogue? [_They fight._ 100 _Itha._ Part 'em, master, part 'em. _Bar._ This is mere frailty, brethren, be content. Friar Barnardine, go you with Ithamore: You[110] know my mind, let me alone with him. [_Aside to_ F. BARN. _F. Jac._ Why does he go to thy house; let him begone. _Bar._ I'll give him something and so stop his mouth. [_Exit_ ITHAMORE with F. BARN. I never heard of any man but he Maligned the order of the Jacobins: But do you think that I believe his words? Why, brother, you converted Abigail; 110 And I am bound in charity to requite it, And so I will. O Jacomo, fail not, but come. _F. Jac._ But, Barabas, who shall be your godfathers, For presently you shall be shrived. _Bar._ Marry, the Turk[111] shall be one of my godfathers, But not a word to any of your covent.[112] _F. Jac._ I warrant thee, Barabas. [_Exit._ _Bar._ So, now the fear is past, and I am safe: For he that shrived her is within my house, What if I murdered him ere Jacomo comes? 120 Now I have such a plot for both their lives As never Jew nor Christian knew the like; One turned my daughter, therefore he shall die; The other knows enough to have my life, Therefore 'tis not requisite he should live. But are not both these wise men to suppose That I will leave my house, my goods, and all To fast and be well whipt? I'll none of that. Now Friar Barnardine I come to you, I'll feast you, lodge you, give you fair words, 130 And after that, I and my trusty Turk-- No more but so: it must and shall be done. [_Exit._ SCENE II. _Enter_[113] BARABAS _and_ ITHAMORE. _Bar._ Ithamore, tell me, is the friar asleep? _Itha._ Yes; and I know not what the reason is, Do what I can he will not strip himself, Nor go to bed, but sleeps in his own clothes; I fear me he mistrusts what we intend. _Bar._ No, 'tis an order which the friars use: Yet, if he knew our meanings, could he 'scape? _Itha._ No, none can hear him, cry he ne'er so loud. _Bar._ Why true, therefore did I place him there: The other chambers open towards the street. 10
