Come, now! There is one other who can wait no longer! [He turns Tertulla toward Asterius who stands rigid and speechless with emotion.]

Tertulla.

[Doubtfully.] Oh ... that gentleman.... Surely he never can be Jupiter! [In awe-struck tone.]

Asterius.

[Holds out his arms to her.] Tulla ... my child!

Tertulla.

[Running to his embrace.] My father! O my father!

Asterius.

She sees ... my daughter sees, thanks to the immortal gods and goddesses, and this blessed worker of prodigies!
