Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare

Act 4 - Scene 5

Fields without the town.

Vincentio : These letters at fit time deliver me [p][Giving letters] [p]The
provost knows our purpose and our plot. [p]The matter being afoot,
keep your instruction, [p]And hold you ever to our special
drift; [p]Though sometimes you do blench from this to that, [p]As
cause doth minister. Go call at Flavius' house, [p]And tell him where
I stay: give the like notice [p]To Valentinus, Rowland, and to
Crassus, [p]And bid them bring the trumpets to the gate; [p]But send
me Flavius first.

Friar Peter : It shall be speeded well.

Vincentio : I thank thee, Varrius; thou hast made good haste: [p]Come, we will
walk. There's other of our friends [p]Will greet us here anon, my
gentle Varrius.
