Hild. Methought I heard one hum an old-time tune.
Pet. Nay, Gregory, thou meanest a chant or hymn.
Hild. Nay, Peter, but a simple ballad tune,
That I loved long ago. Know thee, Peter,
All music is of God, and it be holy.
Pet. What be that noise? (Rising.) Who be those coming here?
Hild. Peter, thou wilt keep this place?
Pet. Hildebrand! Hildebrand! Gregory! dost thou hear?
Many cardinals and bishops come this way.
Enter Cardinals, Bishops and Lords.
