RAVENSBANE [Whom Rachel continues to introduce to the guests; to Master Rand.] Verily, sir, as that prince of poets, the immortal Virgil, has remarked: “Adeo in teneris consuescere multum est.”

REV. MASTER TODD His lordship is evidently a university man.
REV. MASTER RAND Evidently most accomplished.
JUSTICE MERTON [Aside to Dickon.] A song! Why, it is beyond all bounds of custom and decorum.
DICKON Believe me, there is no such flatterer to win the maiden heart as music.
JUSTICE MERTON And here; in this presence! Never!
DICKON Nevertheless, it will amuse me vastly, and you will announce it.
