  5. First Gentleman (1.2,51-55; G13) Thou art always figuring diseases in me; but thou art full of error; I am sound. LUCIO Nay, not as one would say, healthy; but so sound as things that are hollow: thy bones are hollow; impiety has made a feast of thee. Primo Gentiluomo Non fai che contare le mie malattie; ma ti sbagli: io sono sano. LUCIO Mica sano come un pesce, ma come una campana, che è vuota dentro; come sono le tue ossa, spolpate dai tuoi bagordi.

  6. The moated grange at ST. LUKE's. Enter MARIANA and a Boy (Boy sings) Take, O, take those lips away, That so sweetly were forsworn; And those eyes, the break of day, Lights that do mislead the morn: But my kisses bring again, bring again; Seals of love, but sealed in vain, sealed in vain. MARIANA Break off thy song, and haste thee quick away: Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice Hath often still'd my brawling discontent. Exit Boy. Enter DUKE VINCENTIO disguised as before I cry you mercy, sir; and well could wish You had not found me here so musical: Let me excuse me, and believe me so, My mirth it much displeased, but pleased my woe. DUKE VINCENTIO 'Tis good; though music oft hath such a charm To make bad good, and good provoke to harm. I pray, you, tell me, hath any body inquired for me here to-day? much upon this time have I promised here to meet. MARIANA DUKE VINCENTIO
