Ant. [Aside to Maria.] Mother, is Julio’s body——
Mar. [Aside to Antonio.] Speak not, doubt not; all is above all hope.
Ant. [Aside.] Then will I dance and whirl about the air:
Methinks I am all soul, all heart, all spirit.
Now murder shall receive his ample merit.
The measure.
While the measure is dancing, Andrugio’s ghost is placed betwixt the music-houses.[319]
Pier. Bring hither suckets, candied delicates. 50
We’ll taste some sweetmeats, gallants, ere we sleep.
Ant.—We’ll cook your sweetmeats, gallants, with tart sour sauce.
Ghost of And. Here will I sit, spectator of revenge,
And glad my ghost in anguish of my foe.
[The maskers whisper with Piero.
Pier. Marry and shall; i’faith I were too rude,
If I gainsaid so civil fashion.—
The maskers pray you to forbear the room
Till they have banqueted. Let it be so:
No man presume to visit them, on death.
