ANGELO.
How now, sir! What's your name? and what's the matter?

ELBOW.
If it please your honour, I am the poor duke's constable, and my
name is Elbow; I do lean upon justice, sir, and do bring in here

profanation in the world that good Christians ought to have.

ESCALUS.

thou not speak, Elbow?

CLOWN.

ANGELO.
What are you, sir?
