TRUE: By that light you deserve to be grafted, and have your horns

MOR: Is this your bravo, ladies?

TRUE: As God [shall] help me, if you utter such another word,

[ENTER CLERIMONT, FOLLOWED BY A NUMBER OF MUSICIANS.]

CLER: By your leave, ladies. Do you want any music? I have brought
you variety of noises. Play, sirs, all of you.
