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, 5

As cause doth minister. Go call at Flavius' house,

And tell him where I stay: give the like notice

To Valentius, Rowland, and to Crassus,

And bid them bring the trumpets to the gate;

But send me Flavius first.

_Fri. P._ It shall be speeded well. [_Exit._ 10

_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._
