{{script|Ser Jaramey}}: What kind of onion’d witchery is this? <br> | |||
{{Script|Nuncle}}: He who soaps an [[assignee]] with unfreighted tropes of conjury<br> | |||
Tricks only his own frail examinership.<br> | |||
{{script|Herculio}}: Hear me, though: this rider taps a deeper art<br> | |||
Than a sequestrator’s strange astrology. <br> | |||
Should constellations, ill-aligned, by morbid glint <br> | |||
Throw misadventure upon a side — call him, “A” <br> | |||
Whilst the other — that one, “B” — by present value judg’d <br> | |||
Beholds a box of bets as long of extant tenor as they are short of current wisdom.<br> | |||
Thus poor Party B confronts a cleffèd stick: <br> | |||
Shouldst he close out now, but fund afull his bishèd speculation — <br> | |||
Or stay in play, and pray the stars parlay<br> | |||
Yet in the meantime pay what’s due away<br> | |||
In dim hope of reciprocation? <br> |
