''TRIAGO'': Good colleagues: there are but twenty minutes left. <br> | |||
Wouldst you [[I’m conscious that time is precious|thy precious time]] reclaim; <br> | |||
Or may we keep afoot our glorious [[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? 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> | |||
''HERCULIO'': Oh, ho! How so? <br> | |||
What matter lies upon thy parchèd record <br> | |||
Yet unknown to the sacred holy mind? <br> | |||
Whose golden 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 your miserable convention? <br> | |||
''TRIAGO'': How should I know? <br> | |||
''QUEEN'': Quite so, good sir, quite so. | |||
Hercule will let the time-ball drop. I must away. | |||
''HERCULIO'': As must we all: I am afraid — | |||
I have to hop. | |||
