FOOTNOTES:
[1]Vittoria has told Constance that Raimond is to die; she then leaves her with the priest Anselmo—
Con. (Endeavouring to rouse herself.) Did she not say
That some one was to die? Have I not heard
Some fearful tale? Who said that there should rest
Blood on my soul? What blood? I never bore
Hatred, kind father! unto aught that breathes;
Raimond doth know it well. Raimond! High Heaven!
It bursts upon me now! and he must die!
For my sake—e'en for mine!
Is it very probable that a person in the situation of Constance should have to go this round of associations to recall what had just been told her, that her lover was to be tried for his life?
Constance, in order to save him by surrendering herself, rushes to the tribunal, where this mock trial is taking place. Their judges sentence both. Constance swoons in the arms of Raimond, and then ensues this piece of unaffecting bewilderment.
Con. (slowly recovering.)
There was a voice which call'd me. Am I not
A spirit freed from earth?—Have I not pass'd
The bitterness of death?
Ans. Oh, haste, away!
Con. Yes, Raimond calls me—(There he stands beside her!)
He, too, is released
From his cold bandage. We are free at last,
And all is well—away!
[She is led out by Anselmo.

[16] In page 215, it is said Raphael repaired to his native city at the age of twenty-one. This seems not to agree with the account of his not having left it till twenty-one years of age. It has been said also, at page 210, that he revisited Urbino in 1499, having been said not to have left it till 1504.
