The Earl a gloomy man.  
Duke. So, so, you see! Be not too positive. Whom have we here?  
It can not be the Earl?  
Cas. The Earl! Oh, no! 'Tis not the Earl-but yet it is-and leaning  
Upon his friend Baldazzar. AM welcome, sir!  
(Enter Politian and Baldazzar.)  
My lord, a second welcome let me give you  
To Rome-his Grace the Duke of Broglio.  
Father! this is the Earl Politian, Earl  
Of Leicester in Great Britain. [Politian bows haughtily.]  
That, his friend  
Baldazzar, Duke of Surrey. The Earl has letters,  
So please you, for Your Grace.  
Duke. Hal ha! Most welcome  
To Rome and to our palace, Earl Politian!  
And you, most noble Duke! I am glad to see you!  
I knew your father well, my Lord Politian.  
Castiglione! call your cousin hither,  
And let me make the noble Earl acquainted  
With your betrothed. You come, sir, at a time  
Most seasonable. The wedding--
