O boy, you will not! Despoil the picture, Scatter it to the seas, And vow never again to paint another, Tho that would break my heart, but promise me---- [ A knocking interrupts, and a voice without calls lustily: Voice: The gods of paint and passion ever gird us! Where's Messer Giorgione? Ho! Ho, ho! [ (GIGIA hurries out.) Giorgione (after a pause, calling). Aretino!
