[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.]
