Mal. Most happy jester, I wish you good morning.
Bell. And I wish you good night, and a good brain to be able to sleep as well as you speak with fluent oratory.
Mal. I beg you, answer me seriously, if you are ever able to answer seriously, what o’clock do you think it is now?
Bell. Midnight, or a little after.
Mal. By what clock?
Bell. That in my house.
Mal. Where is your house-clock? You would have to get or see a clock which had every hour for sleeping, eating, and playing, but which had none for studying.
Bell. Yet I have a clock by me.
Mal. Where? Produce it.
Bell. In my eyes. See, such as cannot be opened by any force. I beg of you, fall asleep again, or at least be quiet.
