Ant. Reach me a chair: I'll sit down, and read them for you.
Leo. You read them!
Ant. Yes, but I'll put on my optics first. Look you, these were Hannibal's spectacles.
Duke. Why, did Hannibal wear spectacles?
Ant. Yes; after he grew dim with dust in following the camp, he wore spectacles. Reach me the paper.
Leo. No; an author must recite his own works.
Ant. Then I'll sit and sleep.
Leo. Read on, signior.
Pet. They were made to show how welcome you are to me.
