Synopsis
Excerpt from Francesca Da Rimini: A Tragedy in Five Acts
Paolo. I prithee, Rene, charm our ears again With the same song you sang me yesterday. Here are fresh listeners.
Rene. Really, my good lord, My voice is out of joint. A grievous cold [coughs] Paolo. A very grievous, but convenient cold, Which always racks you when you would not sing. Rene. 0, no, my lord! Besides, I hoped to hear My ditty warbled into fairer ears, By your own lips; to better purpose, too. [the Noblemen all laugh] First Nobleman. Rene has hit it. Music runs to waste In ears like ours. Second N ableman. Nay, nay; chaunt on, sweet Count.
