Exit. I will conceal thy name, thy fortune & thy birth, Thy friends, and what thou wilt I will conceal, And now redeemed from the jaws of death, Love deeds of virtue worthy Gentleman, And every day discovering of thy wound, Think how thy God hath thus preserved thee. Father here are the keys. Fetch forth the prisoners let me see their looks, Sempronio lives, my Lord, see where he stands. Are you returned my Lord, what safe returned? Old Sempronio now is young again, And dead Sempronio now does live, Behold him Lelio, dost thou know him now? This Lord left dead by shepherd's in the field, Was found again, and healed thus by me, And by my art having his hair disguised, He passed a solemn oath to hide his name, And do good deeds where he had lived lose, Since when, called Penitent Experience, He hath remained, and lived a pensive life. Speak my Sempronio, for I discharge thy vow, Tell thou the rest, for why my vision Foretold and promised such and accident, As never Venice had, or saw the Like. Yes, yes Orphinio down in thy eyes he keeps: But now to tell you dangers that are pressed, And you must seek prevention out of hand, For Corrodino by Marchettoes mouth, Hath taken order that to morrow morn, Young Zepheronio and you shall loose your heads. You ask me questions passed my knowledge. Fast underneath the pillow where you sleep. Orphinio come forth.
