What, are they so ill-favoured! Let us go,
This Cardinal detains our pious Duchess;
His sermon and his beard want cutting both:
Will you come with us, sir, and hear a text
From holy Jerome?

Moranzone [bowing]

My liege, there are some matters—

Duke [interrupting]

Thou need’st make no excuse for missing mass.
Come, gentlemen.

[Exit with his suite into Cathedral.]

Guido [after a pause]

So the Duke sold my father;
I kissed his hand.

Moranzone

Thou shalt do that many times.
