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.

Guido

Who is that?

My sister’s son, your Grace, Who being now of age to carry arms, Would for a season tarry at your Court
