Synopsis:
In Mytilene, Marina preserves her virginity through eloquent pleas to her potential customers. We see the effect on two such customers.
Enter two Gentlemen.FIRST GENTLEMAN 1826 Did you ever hear the like?
SECOND GENTLEMAN 1827 No, nor never shall do in such a
1828 place as this, she being once gone.
FIRST GENTLEMAN 1829 But to have divinity preached there!
1830 5 Did you ever dream of such a thing?
SECOND GENTLEMAN 1831 No, no. Come, I am for no more
1832 bawdy houses. Shall ’s go hear the vestals sing?
