Measure for Measure
I will speak the truth, however strange:
It is just as true that he is Angelo
As this is true and strange:
No, it is ten times as true; for the truth is the truth
To the end of time.
Dear prince, I call to you, as you believe
There is more than just this world,
That you show me unkindness, with the opinion
That I am mad! Do not make what seems
Unlikely impossible: It is not impossible
However one, the most sinful person on the earth,
May seems as shy, as somber, as perfect
As Angelo; Even so Angelo,
In all his clothes, acts, names, roles,
Be an evil person; believe it, royal prince:
If he be any less, he would be unimportant; but hes more,
I have no word to describe his evilness.
In brief, to set the unwanted process by,
How I persuaded, how I prayed, and kneeled,
How he disapproved of me, and how I replied,For this was of much length,- the unpleasant end
I now begin with grief and and shame to say:
He would not, but by gift of my virgin body
To his desired unrestrained lust,
Release my brother; and, after much debate,
My sisterly regret proved my honor wrong,
And I did surrender to him: but early the next morning,
His purpose excessive, he sent a warrant
For my poor brothers head.
