Full speech
Furbo no more, unless thy words were charms Of power to revive him: Antonio's dead. He's dead, and in his death hath buried All my delights: my ears are deaf to music That sounds of pleasure: sing then the doleful'st notes That ere were set by melancholy: Oh Antonio! Flow streams of liquid salt from my sad eyes, To celebrate his mournful exequies. Antonio's dead, he's dead, and I remain To draw my poor life in continual pain, Till it have paid to his sad memory Duty of love: o then most willingly Drowned with my tears, as he with waves, I die. Break thy sad strings, and instrument: Oh strange! he's here. Signior Antonio! my heart's sweet content! My life and better portion of my soul! Are you returned? and safe? for whose sad death I spent such streams of tears, and gusts of sighs? Or is't my love, that to my longing fancy Frames your desired shape, and mocks my senses? With my best friend, commander of my life, My most beloved Antonio. Sir to command me, as you have done ever, To what you please: for all my liberty Lies in your service. Have you forgotten my husband? and angry roarer? Whence grows this fear? how come you so respectful? You were not wont be numbed with such a coldness. Go in sweet life, go in. Your name? None sir. Alas I am clean undone, it is my Husband. There still. Not to day, good sir, to morrow will serve as well. It's more then I can carry. I thank you. Forget Antonio, Wbose deer remembrance does inform the soul Of your poor servant Bevilona ? no, No, had you died, it had not quenched one spark Of sweet affection which your love hath kindled In this warm breast. Wil't please you Enter, and rest your self, refresh the weariness Of your hard travel: I have good wine and fruits, My husband's out of town: you shall command My house, & all that's in't. There's one within my Kitchen ready strung: go in. Who's that so boldly knocks? I am not within; Or busy: Why so importunate? who is't? Oj me! my Husband! Oj me wretch, it's my Husband. Oh sir, Has more outrageous devils in his rage, Then names. As you respect your life, avoid him. Down at that window. He has the keys. Down at some window, as you love your life, Tender my honour, and your safety. Be patient but a little; I come instantly. I cannot stay. There stands and empty Hogshead with a false bottom To open and shut at pleasure: come hither, in, In, as you love your life. In, in, there's none. I tunned him up, would, would, would, I fear he'll fallen a working. Fetched your self. Signior Antonio, as you love your life Lie still and close, for if you stir you die. One that you dare not touch.

Albumazar plans to trick him, and sets about demonstrating his occult power. Ronca shows Pandolfo some of the astrologer’s amazing inventions: a telescope and an ‘otacousticon’ (actually a pair of ass’s ears) which allow him to see and hear things at a distance.
