To Mariana, [4:1,70]
Cruel Angelo
Mariana: This is that face, thou cruel Angelo,
Which once thou swore at was worth the looking on;
This is the hand which, with a vow’d contract,
Was fast belock’d in thine
To Angelo, [5:1,206]
Light from heaven
Mariana: As there comes light from heaven and words from breath,
As there is sense in truth and truth in virtue,
I am affianced this man’s wife as strongly
As words could make up vows
To Angelo, [5:1,225]
Crave
