[BNP/E3, 13 – 1v]
Marino
Happy; is startled by Antonio saying
that he (soon) has to die. Replies furiously
but is worried. Antonio makes him doubt
constancy for those women and tells him to ask
them if they will love him ever. Marino does not;
thinking it foolish to do so. He tells Antonio that
he has but Antonio psychologically tells
him he has not, for fear of seeing in their
faces denial of their affirmations. This is
true. Marino is astonished and asks Antonio how he
knows it. Antonio answers in long speech that
he knows men well.
_______
