Act 4, Scene 5

SCENE V. Fields without the town.

    Enter DUKE VINCENTIO in his own habit, and FRIAR PETER

DUKE VINCENTIO

    These letters at fit time deliver me

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

FRIAR PETER

    It shall be speeded well.

    Exit

    Enter VARRIUS

DUKE VINCENTIO

    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
