Measure for Measure, I think, else - All's well that ends well. Both rather grim, amoral (or morally dubious) pieces, where Shakespeare, world-weary I presume, sends his charcaters through hoops only to arrive at prgamatic resolutions (marriage for money et al). And yes, the Duke's regent asks wossname to sleep with him in exchange for her brother's (?) life. Oh dear, I can't seem to remember this too well. Anyhow - nasty bloke gets something of a comeuppance, thereby justifying the classification of the play as a 'comedy'.
