Small time remains

To show thee, Foscarini, ere we part,

The prince merged in the friend:—I was thy father’s.

Say, if my efforts can in aught avail

To do thee service?

Foscarini.

I do prize your goodness:

Will tax it for one boon. There is a maid

Within this town, I speak not of her beauty,

For that were idle, and you’d smile perchance,
