Lorenzo rejoices in the manipulation of his dupes Pedringano and Balthazar with a metaphor based on trapping songbirds: I set the trap, he breaks the worthless twigs And sees not that wherewith the bird was lim’d. Thus hopeful men, that mean to hold their own, Must look like fowlers to their dearest friends.
