Synopsis of Act IV scene v
The Duke gives Friar Peter some final instructions about the arrangements for the Duke's return.
Commentary on Act IV scene v

A man belonging to a Christian religious group who, instead of living within an enclosed religious house, travelled round teaching the Christian faith, and sustaining himself by begging for charity.
