THE SCENE--ITALY


ACT I


SCENE I


Enter Count Lodovico, Antonelli, and Gasparo


Lodo. Banish'd!


Ant. It griev'd me much to hear the sentence.


Lodo. Ha, ha, O Democritus, thy gods
That govern the whole world! courtly reward
And punishment. Fortune 's a right whore:
If she give aught, she deals it in small parcels,
That she may take away all at one swoop.
This 'tis to have great enemies! God 'quite them.
Your wolf no longer seems to be a wolf
Than when she 's hungry.
