I cannot cross; I dare not brave my brother,

Break with my kin. My brother hates him, scorns

The noblest-natured man alive, and I—

Who have that reverence for him that I scarce

Dare beg him to receive his diamonds back—

How can I, dare I, ask him for his falcon?

[Puts diamonds in her casket.

Re-enter Count and Filippo. Count turns to Filippo.

Count.

Do what I said; I cannot do it myself.
