Lor. The present Duke is Paschal Malipiero.
Doge. Not till I pass the threshold of these doors.
Lor. Saint Mark's great bell is soon about to toll
For his inauguration.
Doge.Earth and Heaven!

Live to hear this!—the first Doge who e'er heard230
Such sound for his successor: happier he,
My attainted predecessor, stern Faliero—
This insult at the least was spared him.
