(Raising himself to his full height.) Do you know that you banished me once before, in this very room, from Umbria under pain of death?!
KING PIETRO.
It is impossible fur me to remember all the judgments I have passed!
THE KING.
You passed your first judgment against King Nicola, and I am he!
KING PIETRO.
(Shaken.) It was long to be foreseen that he would come to such an end! (To the King.) Do you want to act a tragic scene for us out of your former occupation?
THE KING.
I, here before you, am King Nicola!
KING PIETRO.
