Ay, if you dare do yourself a profit and a right. He sups tonight
with a harlotry, and thither will I go to him. He knows not yet of
his honorable fortune. If you will watch his going thence (which I
will fashion to fall out between twelve and one) you may take him at
your pleasure. I will be near to second your attempt, and he shall
fall between us. Come, stand not amazed at it, but go along with me.
I will show you such a necessity in his death that you shall think
yourself bound to put it on him. It is now high suppertime, and the
night grows to waste. About it!

Yes, if you want to help yourself. He’s having dinner
tonight with a prostitute, and I’ll go visit him. He
doesn’t know he’s been appointed governor yet.
When you see him walking by here (as I’ll make sure he
does between twelve and one) you can nab him. I’ll be
nearby to help you, and between the two of us we can handle him.
Come on, don’t stand there in a daze. Come along with me.
I’ll give you such reasons for killing him that
you’ll feel obliged to snuff him out. It’s
nearly dinner time, and the night’s going to be wasted.
Let’s go!
