_Bian._ Sweet sir, no voice of him as yet in court. _Fer._ 'Tis very strange. _Bian._ And how like you my servant, Maquerelle? 59 _Maq._ I think he could hardly draw Ulysses' bow; but, by my fidelity, were his nose narrower, his eyes broader, his hands thinner, his lips thicker, his legs bigger, his feet lesser, his hair blacker, and his teeth whiter, he were a tolerable sweet youth, i'faith. And he will come to my chamber, I will read him the fortune of his beard. [_Cornets sound within._ _Fer._ Not yet returned! I fear--but the duchess approacheth. _Enter_ MENDOZA _supporting_ AURELIA _and_ GUERRINO: _the ladies that are on the stage rise_: FERRARDO _ushers in_ AURELIA, _and then takes a lady to tread a measure_.[485] _Aur._ We will dance:--music!--we will dance. _Guer. Les quanto_[486] lady, _Pensez bien, Passa regis_, or _Bianca's brawl_? 70 _Aur._ We have forgot the brawl. _Fer._ So soon? 'tis wonder. _Guer._ Why, 'tis but two singles on the left, two on the right, three doubles[487] forward, a traverse of six round: do this twice, three singles side, galliard trick-of-twenty,[488] coranto-pace; a figure of eight, three singles broken down, come up, meet, two doubles, fall back, and then honour. _Aur._ O Dædalus, thy maze! I have quite forgot it. _Maq._ Trust me, so have I, saving the falling-back, and then honour. 81 _Aur._ Music, music! _Enter_ PREPASSO. _Prep._ Who saw the duke? the duke? _Aur._ Music! _Enter_ EQUATO. _Equato._ The duke? is the duke returned? _Aur._ Music! _Enter_ CELSO. _Celso._ The duke is either quite invisible, or else is not. _Aur._ We are not pleased with your intrusion upon our private retirement; we are not pleased: you have forgot yourselves. 90 _Enter a_ Page. _Celso._ Boy, thy master? where's the duke? _Page._ Alas, I left him burying the earth with his spread joyless limbs: he told me he was heavy, would sleep; bade[489] me walk off, for that the strength of fantasy oft made him talk[490] in his dreams. I straight obeyed, nor ever[491] saw him since: but wheresoe'er he is, he's sad. _Aur._ Music, sound high, as is our heart! sound high! _Enter_ MALEVOLE, _and_ PIETRO _disguised like an hermit_. _Mal._ The duke,--peace!--the duke is dead. _Aur._ Music! _Mal._ Is't music? 100 _Men._ Give proof. _Fer._ How? _Celso._ Where? _Prep._ When?
