hearing it, tries to escape from him. Death, however, explains
matters to him, and brings him into such a seraphic state of
mind that he exclaims--

/*
"Now welcome Death upon my Saviour's score
Who would not die to live for ever more.

<sc>Death.</sc>

Sir, I perceive you speak not without reason,
I'll leave you now and call some other season.

<sc>Blind Man.</sc>

Call when you please, I will await that call,
And while I can make ready for my fall;
In the mean time my constant prayers shall be,
From sudden and from endless Death, good Lord deliver me."
*/

Speakers' names

To preserve the line breaks, enclose metrical drama dialogue in no-wraps. Include speakers' names in those no-wraps, and left-justify them even when they're centered in the image. When speakers' names are on lines of their own, precede and follow them with a blank line.
