Vio. And so they are: alas, that they are so;

To die, even when they to perfection grow!

[Re-enter] Curio and Clown.

Duke. O, fellow, come, the song we had last night.

Mark it, Cesario, it is old and plain;

The spinsters and the knitters in the sun

And the [free] maids that weave their thread with bones

Do use to chant it: it is silly sooth,

And [dallies] with the innocence of love,

Like the old age.
