Take your religion as ’twas found you,

And say no more of it, confound you!

And now I think the rain has ended;

And the less said, the soonest mended.

Scene II.—In a Gondola.

Sp. Per ora. To the Grand Canal.

Afterwards e’en as fancy shall.

Di. Afloat; we move. Delicious! Ah,

What else is like the gondola?
