It seems so by thee, for thou art seldom awake thus long, but to do some such mischief at to talk in this manner. The best Philosophers have said, and I have heard it in Apollo's school. Motus fit propter quietem. Nature intends motion, that it may attain rest. And all scholars know, that what is desired, as the end, is better than that, which is ordained as the means to it. Nay siria, the best of them say, that motion is better than rest. For the heavens move continually, and the earth, which is the dregs of the world, that rests, and slugs like thee. The day is for labour, and the night for rest. And I hope the day is far better than the night. Ergo. Well. I have all the earth on my side: I'm safe enough. Go you and dance after the stars. I'll hold my rest here. Enough of this Philosophy. Thou lolling lubber, lazy Bough, get up, Rise old hunks, rise drunken Bear, or I'll go in without thee. A Bear? no.

Why do you give such kind entertainment to that cobweb? It shall have Tom Drums entertainment. A flap with a Fox tail. For the preparing this judgement seat. I pronounce judgement of banishment against all presumptuous cobwebs. The Court will rise, and come upon us ere we are aware. Scopas go see how forward they are, and bring away the Frankincense. WHere are they, that say that Ludio is the Canker of the school? I have pronounced a knocking Apology before Apollo and all his Court. What, nimble Ludio, is the Session so far on? Unto thee, O Thuriger, I am the Nuntio, to tell thee, that Apollo and his Actors are by this time come to Actus quintus, Scena quarta Praco told me they will all come down hither to Act Scena I shall be ready for them.

Apollo himself was fain to command her silence.
