Marked words are the most distinguishing words of T32: ring, ti, gave, finger, jewel, lady, lord, love, invisible, away.

Oh the impudence of villainy! by the reputation of a Gentleman, I put five pounds of gold into it the morning before I came forth; or else Poeta's a Feigner. Sure then, Sir, you put it forth again before you came forth. Well, your own confession proclaims your guilt; justice, therefore awards you this sentence. Thou Physioguemus, that thou mayst never look any man in the Face more, shalt be burnt in the forehead for a Rogue, that so every one may know thee by thy Physiognomy— Cheiromantes, since thou hast had a Hand in this matter too, thou shalt be burnt in the hand, and then both of you shall be banished the Commonwealth of the Sciences.— Choler, take them away. Tush, I'll but paint my Face afterwards. And I'll quickly bite it out of my hand again. we scorn to scape this punishment. we scorn to scape this punishment. geometre's, did not Magus offer by Magic and love-cups to procure you the love of Astronomia? Yes, Sir, he did. And geometre's, did not you see Astrologia at the Banquet at Ethicus his house, cast a powder into Astronomia's drink? I did Sir. Why then, justice must proceed upon you. We yield ourselves to your honour's mercy. We yield ourselves to your honour's mercy. Melancholico and Sanguis lay hands upon them presently, search their pockets, and take out certain Rings if they have any. Glassialabolas, Glassialabolas, Glassialabolas. Oh violence! Oh violence! Glassialabolas, Glassialabolas, Glassialabolas. Oh violence! Oh violence! Here's one Sir. And here's another. ay, these are they. Magus himself acquainted me with this device: for, these Rings put on their little-fingers, and those words repeated thrice, would have made them invisible immediately. O strange! Now honoured Polites, you may proceed. Magus, because thy profoundest villainy was wrought by a Circle; in stead of an endless punishment like thy Circle, here thou shalt be broken upon a wheel, and afterwards the gods no doubt will adjudge thee for ever to supply Ixion's room, by turning his wheel. Thou Astrologia, shalt not as yet be determined on, but cast into a close Prison, that thou mayst never more behold the Heavens, but be tortured continually with a perpetual anxiety, and expectation of thy fate. Nay, honoured Polites, let me beg Magus his life. I; and I, that Astrologia may enjoy the benefit of the Heavens, liberty. I may not without a danger to the Commonwealth. Then let Geographus obtain the request on this condition, that they undertake a voluntary travail, in stead of an enforced banishment. Depart then the Commonwealth for ever. we go. Heaven and Hell conspite Magus and Astrologia's ruin; and yet they will not ruin us. we go. Heaven and Hell conspite Magus and Astrologia's ruin; and yet they will not ruin us. Medicus, did not you send Poison in stead of Physic to Poeta being sick?

Oh the impudence of villany! by the reputation of a Gentleman, I put fiue pounds of gold into it the morning before I came forth; or elſe Poeta's a Feigner. Sure then, Sir, you put it forth againe before you came forth. Well, your owne confeſſion proclaimes your guilt; Iuſtice, therefore awards you this ſentence. Thou Phyſioguemus, that thou maiſt neuer looke any man in the Face more, ſhalt be burnt in the fore-head for a Rogue, that ſo euery one may know thee by thy Phyſiognomie—Cheiromantes, ſince thou haſt had a Hand in this matter too, thou ſhalt bee burnt in the hand, and then both of you ſhall be baniſhed the Common-wealth of the Sciences.—Choler, take them away. Tuſh, Ile but paint my Face afterwards. And Ile quickly bite it out of my hand againe. Wee ſcorne to ſcape this puniſhment. Wee ſcorne to ſcape this puniſhment. Geometres, did not Magus offer by Magike and loue-cups to procure you the loue of Aſtronomia? Yes, Sir, he did. And Geometres, did not you ſee Aſtrologia at the Banquet at Ethicus his houſe, caſt a powder into Aſtronomia's drinke? I did Sir. Why then, iuſtice muſt proceed vpon you. We yeeld our ſelues to your Honours mercie. We yeeld our ſelues to your Honours mercie. Melancholico and Sanguis lay ands vpon them preſently, ſearch their pockets, and take out certaine Rings if they haue any. Glaſsialabolas, Glaſsialabolas, Glaſsialabolas. Oh violence! Oh violence! Glaſsialabolas, Glaſsialabolas, Glaſsialabolas. Oh violence! Oh violence! Here's one Sir. And here's another. I, theſe are they. Magus himſelfe acquainted mee with this deuice: for, theſe Rings put on their little-fingers, and thoſe words repeated thrice, would haue made them inuiſible immediately. O ſtrange! Now honour'd Polites, you may proceed. Magus, becauſe thy profoundeſt villanie was wrought by a Circle; in ſtead of an endleſſe puniſhment like thy Circle, here thou ſhalt bee broken vpon a wheele, and afterwards the gods no doubt will adiudge thee for euer to ſupply Ixions roome, by turning his wheele. Thou Aſtrologia, ſhalt not as yet be determin'd on, but caſt into a cloſe Priſon, that thou maiſt neuer more behold the Heau'ns, but bee tortur'd continually with a perpetuall anxietie, and expectation of thy fate. Nay, honour'd Polites, let mee begge Magus his life. I; and I, that Aſtrologia may enioy the benefit of the Heauens, libertie. I may not without a danger to the Common-wealth. Then let Geographus obtaine the requeſt on this condition, that they vndertake a voluntarie trauaile, in ſtead of an inforc'd baniſhment. Depart then the Common-wealth for euer. Wee goe. Heauen and Hell conſpite Magus and Aſtrologia's ruine; and yet they will not ruine vs. Wee goe. Heauen and Hell conſpite Magus and Aſtrologia's ruine; and yet they will not ruine vs. Medicus, did not you ſend Poyſon in ſtead of Phyſicke to Poeta being ſicke?
