MORANZONE
Leave off that fingering of thy knife. Hast thou so soon forgotten? [Kneels to the DUKE.] My noble Lord. DUKE Welcome, Count Moranzone; 'tis some time Since we have seen you here in Padua. We hunted near your castle yesterday - Call you it castle? that bleak house of yours Wherein you sit a-mumbling o'er your beads, Telling your vices like a good old man. [Catches sight of GUIDO and starts back.] Who is that? MORANZONE My sister's son, your Grace, Who being now of age to carry arms, Would for a season tarry at your Court DUKE [still looking at GUIDO] What is his name? MORANZONE |
