I've news for you both. Politian is expected  
Hourly in Rome--Politian, Earl of Leicester!  
We'll have him at the wedding. 'Tis his first visit  
To the imperial city.  
Aless. What! Politian  
Of Britain, Earl of Leicester?  
Di Brog. The same, my love.  
We'll have him at the wedding. A man quite young  
In years, but grey in fame. I have not seen him,  
But Rumour speaks of him as of a prodigy  
Pre-eminent in arts and arms, and wealth,  
And high descent. We'll have him at the wedding.  
Aless. I have heard much of this Politian.  
Gay, volatile and giddy--is he not?  
And little given to thinking.  
Di Brog. Far from it, love.  
No branch, they say, of all philosophy  
So deep abstruse he has not mastered it.  
Learned as few are learned.  
Aless. 'Tis very strange!  
I have known men have seen Politian
