Gama. (in high glee). Here, set me free! Hilarion safe again—
Is this indeed Hilarion?
Hilar.Yes it is—
Gama. Why you look handsome in your women’s clothes,
Stick to ’em—man’s attire becomes you not!
(to Florian and Cyril) And you, young ladies, will you please to pray,
King Hildebrand to set me free again?
Hang on his neck and gaze into his eyes,
Bring all your woman’s wiles to bear on him.
He never could resist a pretty face!
