Fear me not.<br />
THE DUKE<br />
Nor, gentle daughter, fear you not at all.<br />
He is your husband on a pre-contract:<br />
To bring you thus together, 'tis no sin,<br />
Sith that the justice of your title to him<br />
Doth flourish the deceit. Come, let us go:<br />
Our corn's to reap, for yet our tithe's to sow.<br />

TO THE MELANCHOLY SOUND OF THE GRAMAPH<strong>ONE</strong> MARIANA STRIPS<br />
AND PUTS ON THE WEDDING DRESS IN WHICH SHE WAS TO MARRY<br />
ANGELO. BY THE TIME SHE PULLS THE VEIL OVER HER FACE IT IS WET<br />
WITH TEARS.<br />
THE THUNDER STORM WHICH HAS BEEN THREATENING TO BREAK<br />
SINCE THE PLAY STARTED NOW ERUPTS.<br />

LUCIO<br />
What comfort is for Claudio?
