ACT V
SCENE
A dungeon in the public prison of Padua; Guido lies asleep on a pallet (L.C.); a table with a goblet on it is set (L.C.); five soldiers are drinking and playing dice in the corner on a stone table; one of them has a lantern hung to his halbert; a torch is set in the wall over Guido’s head. Two grated windows behind, one on each side of the door which is (C.), look out into the passage; the stage is rather dark.
First Soldier [throws dice]
Sixes again! good Pietro.
Second Soldier
I’ faith, lieutenant, I will play with thee no more. I will lose everything.
Third Soldier
Except thy wits; thou art safe there!
