SCENE I. The DUKE\'S palace
Enter DUKE, ESCALUS, LORDS, and ATTENDANTS
DUKE. Escalus! ESCALUS. My lord. DUKE. Of government the
properties to unfold Would seem in me t\' affect speech and discourse,
Since I am put to know that your own science Exceeds, in that, the lists of
all advice My strength can give you; then no more remains But that to
your sufficiency- as your worth is able- And let them work. The nature of
our people, Our city\'s institutions, and the terms For common justice, y\'are
as pregnant in As art and practice hath enriched any That we remember.
There is our commission, From which we would not have you warp. Call
hither, I say, bid come before us, Angelo. Exit an ATTENDANT What
figure of us think you he will bear? For you must know we have with
special soul Elected him our absence to supply; Lent him our terror,
dress\'d him with our love, And given his deputation all the organs Of our
own power. What think you of it? ESCALUS. If any in Vienna be of worth
To undergo such ample grace and honour, It is Lord Angelo.
