5.1.0.12389Enter at one door Hippolito; at another Lodovico, Astolfo, 2390Carolo, Beraldo, [and] Fontinell.
[To his companions] Yonder始s the lord Hippolito. By any means leave 2392him and me together. Now will I turn him to a madman.
Save you, my lord.
5.1.2.1Exeunt [all but Lodovico and Hippolito].
I ha始 strange news to tell you.
What are they?
Your mare始s i始th始 pound.
How始s this?
Your nightingale is in a lime-bush.

I始ll beat the lodgings down about their ears
So you may bring an old house over her head.
I始ll to her –
5.1.27.1Exit.
O me! What monsters are men made by whores? 2425If this false fire do kindle him, there始s one faggot 2426more to the bonfire. Now to my Bridewell birds. 2427What song will they sing?
5.1.28.1Exit.
