I have ta’en a due and wary note upon’t;
               With whispering and most guilty diligence,
               In action all of precept, he did show me
               The way twice o’er.



              DUKE
                               Are there no other tokens

               Between you ’greed, concerning her observance? [40]



              ISABELLA
               No; none, but only a repair i’th’dark;
               And that I have possess’d him my most stay
               Can be but brief: for I have made him know

               I have a servant comes with me along,
               That stays upon me; whose persuasion is [45]
               I come about my brother.



              DUKE
                               ’Tis well borne up.
               I have not yet made known to Mariana

               A word of this. − What hoa, within! Come forth.
                                                      Enter Mariana.
          [To Mariana]

               I pray you be acquainted with this maid;
               She comes to do you good.



              ISABELLA
                               I do desire the like. [50]



              DUKE
               Do you persuade yourself that I respect you?



              MARIANA
               Good friar, I know you do, and so have found it.



              DUKE
               Take, then, this your companion by the hand,
