BIANCA

T RANIO

T RANIO

BIANCA

T RANIO

That teacheth tricks eleven and twenty long,

That I am dog-weary, but at last I spied [60]
An ancient angel coming down the hill
Will serve the turn.
T RANIO

BIONDELLO

I know not what; but formal in apparel,
In gait and countenance surely like a father. [65]
LUCENT IO
