SCENE II.
Venice.—The Senate-house.
Enter Amago the Duke, the Watch, and Senators.
Duke. I am amazèd at this maze of wonder,
Wherein no thread or clue presents itself,
To wind us from the obscure passages.
What says my nephew?
Watch. Still resolute, my lord, and doth confess the theft.
Duke. We’ll use him like a felon; cut him off,
For fear he do pollute our sounder parts.
Yet why should he steal,
That is a loaden vine? Riches to him
Were adding sands into the Libyan shore, 10
Or far less charity. What say the other prisoners?
Watch. Like men, my lord, fit for the other world,
They take’t upon their death, they slew your nephew.
Duke. And he is yet alive; keep them asunder;
We may scent out the wile.
