(Back at the Inn)

Mars-Prince, Prince, Man of Naples, where art thou?

Prince Parker-What, why dost though want me now?

Mars-Rememberest thou the fair maiden, we shall wed?

Prince Parker-Good for you but there is a wish 'twas me instead.

Mars-'Tis jealousy of a friend I hear here from a friend in my ear.

Prince Parker-From me? Surely.

Mars-From thee! Most assuredly.

Prince Parker-Utter no more this absurdity,

For I am none the less than happy for thee.

(Door knocks.)

Mars-Uh….? (Door is opened to a constable)

Constable-Thou must now come with me, he who's

Name is Prince Parker.

I advice that he breatheth deeply for this for this shall

Be his last breath!

Prince Parker- What hath it been that I have done,

(He starts to stutter.) Th…that death sh…shall come t…to me?

Constable- Thou shalt see it. In the morning on the morrow, Thou shalt hang.
