Measure for Measure Act 1 Scene 2 lyrics
by William Shakespeare
SCENE II. A Street.
Enter LUCIO and two Gentlemen
LUCIO
If the duke with the other dukes come not to
composition with the King of Hungary, why then all
the dukes fall upon the king.
FIRST GENTLEMAN
Heaven grant us its peace, but not the King of
Hungary's!
SECOND GENTLEMAN
Amen.
LUCIO
Thou concludest like the sanctimonious pirate, that
went to sea with the Ten Commandments, but scraped
one out of the table.
SECOND GENTLEMAN
'Thou shalt not steal'?
LUCIO
Ay, that he razed.
