''TRIAGO'': Good colleagues: there are but twenty minutes left. <br>
{{Dsh conference calls}}<ref>{{buchstein}}, {{dsh}} III, i}}</ref>
Wouldst you [[I’m conscious that time is precious|thy precious time]] reclaim; <br>
Or may we keep afoot our [[infinite game]] — <br>
With more, or any other, business? Search anew, <br>
What items canst be tabled without ado? <br>
''GLOUCESTER'': Nothing sire. <br>
''KENT'': Nor from I. <br>
:''A period of silence around the table.''<br>
''QUEEN'' (''aside''): That irksome twerp. <br>
A world of richness awaits this piffling parley. <br>
''TRIAGO'': How say you, brave Herculio? <br>
What doth the gods portend?<br>
''HERCULIO'':  The gods? The ''gods''? I think you jest. <br>
Th’almighty has no use for paltry conference.<br>
''TRIAGO'': I think he does sirrah! <br>
''QUEEN'': Oh, ho! How so? <br>
What matters lie upon thy parchèd record <br>
Yet unknown by sacred holy mind? <br>
Whose cogs and toothèd gears <br>
And immaculate escapements <br>
All history — gone and yet to come — defined? <br>
What need hath she, or he <br>
Who bid the lion lay with lamb <br>
For this dismal convention? <br>
''TRIAGO'': How should I know? <br>
''QUEEN'': Quite so, good sir, quite so. I must away. <br>
Maketh thou the time-ball drop. <br>
::''Exit QUEEN''<br>
''HERCULIO'': With all my heart, my Liege —<br>
[[I have to hop|One has to hop]].<br>
::''Exeunt'' }}
