(a Serpina) Sempre in contrasti con te si sta, e qua e là; e su e giù e sì e no; or questo basti; finir si può. (a Vespone) Mache ti pare? ah! Ho io a crepare? Signor mio, no. (a Serpina) Però dovrai pur sempre piangere la tua disgrazia, e allor dirai che ben ti sta. (a Vespone) Che dici tu? Non è così? Ah! Che! No! Sì, ma così è.
