Shakespeare. I’ll tell all time that story.
The Roman. The stars are dark, seen close.
Shakespeare. I’ll say it.
The Roman. Pass!
An Egyptian [holding a goblet]. He shall not pass. Drink! There are pearls in the cup.
A Girl, a Veronese [taking it from her]. No—sleep!
A Man [with a wand]. Dreams!
The King in Rags. Frenzy!
A Nun. Sacrament!
A Drunkard. A jest!
