(Gregory goes to Laura. Ricardo to Frederick.)

D. I shall award my judgment on you two,

Who have mocked not my rules only, but the common

Conventions of society, and preferring

The unwritten statutes of the court of Milan

Have joined to act a lie, and me, your friend,

Deceived and wronged, whom ye had done well to trust.

One only honourable course is left—

My judgment on you is that you be married

As soon as may be. Therefore, Frederick,
