The duke does greet you, general,
And he requires your haste-post-haste appearance,
Even on the instant.

Their backward course, bearing with frank appearance
Their purposes toward Cyprus. Signior Montano,
Your trusty and most valiant servitor,
With his free duty recommends you thus,
And prays you to believe him.
