Moranzone

Surely my ears are traitors, speak again:
It cannot be but age has dulled my powers,
I am an old man now: what did you say?
You said that with that dagger in your belt
You would avenge your father’s bloody murder;
Did you not say that?

Guido

No, my lord, I said
I was resolved not to kill the Duke.

Moranzone

You said not that; it is my senses mock me;
Or else this midnight air o’ercharged with storm
Alters your message in the giving it.

Guido

Nay, you heard rightly; I’ll not kill this man.

Moranzone

What of thine oath, thou traitor, what of thine oath?
