Scene V.

Fields without the town

Enter DUKE in his own habit, and Friar PETER

DUKE
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.

PETER
It shall be speeded well.

Exit FRIAR

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
