PETER
Oh, I cry you mercy, you are the singer. I will say for you. It is “music with her silver sound” because musicians have no gold for sounding.
PETER
Oh, I beg your pardon. You’re the singer. I’ll answer for you. It is “music with her silver sound,” because musicians have no gold to use to make sounds.


(sings)
Then music with her silver sound
With speedy help doth lend redress.
(sings)
Then music with her silver sound
makes you feel just fine.
Exit PETER
