Pre. A grave and reverend Cardinal, and his Grace
The Archbishop of Toledo.
Vic. What mad jest

Pre. It is no jest. Indeed it is not.
Vic. Pr’ythee, explain thyself.
Pre. Why simply thus.
Thou knowest the Pope has sent here into Spain
To put a stop to dances on the stage.
Vic. I’ve heard it whispered.
