Sec. Mer. By this, I think, the dial points at five:

Anon, I’m sure, the Duke himself in person

120 Comes this way to the melancholy vale,

The place of [death] and [sorry] execution,

Behind the ditches of the [abbey] here.

Ang. Upon what cause?

Sec. Mer. To see a [reverend] Syracusian merchant,

125 Who put unluckily into this bay

Against the laws and statutes of this town,

Beheaded publicly for his offence.
