And wat'ry death-bed for him.

SONG.[[81]]
1. Tell me where is fancy bred.
Or in the heart, or in the head?
How begot, how nourished
Reply, reply.
2. It is engender'd in the eyes,
With gazing fed; and fancy dies
In the cradle where it lies:
Let us all ring fancy's knell;
I'll begin it.—Ding, dong, bell.
All. Ding, dong, bell.

Exeunt all but
PORTIA
