Phan. In half an hour we start. Once there, our life

Shall be a song, and Aristæus here,

The jolly, genial, laughing Aristæus,

Shall strike the key-note!

Arist.Well, I’ll do my best.

Zor. But pray consider. If the intervals

Throughout the diatonic series, sir,

Were mathematically equal, why

It would not greatly matter, as you know,

Upon what note your melody commenced.
