Mariana:
My dearest Angelo,
Pray you learn from what hath been taught in this corrupted place.
Vienna hath mocked our souls and virtue too.
The thought of death dost leave quite a mark on thee,
Though I hath freed you from death's wretched sting.
But forget not what hath led you to this place.
Five years hath past since thou denied me -
Since my proportions sank in the sea alongside my dear brother's ship.
Oh how I resent this truth but forgiveth thee all the same!
Angelo, pray we marry,
For we hath overcome the most vile of events...the most wicked of deeds.
Remember not the past but look forward.
No more shall you look upon the face of any other.
Isabella no longer shall be engaged in such wicked trickery.
She hath brought you such sweet sorrow and warped your precious mind.
Oh how we will learn to live two souls in one!
Despite the forgiveness I have so graciously bestowed on thee,
I forget not how I hath always been second best in the mind of thee.
But now liveth we in such sweet company.
