LUCREZIA.

[Lifting them.] Golden pearls!

SARACINI.

Duke Ercole informs your Excellence
His health revives.

LUCREZIA.

By letter
Commend me to his Excellence your Duke;
Say, she who is his daughter in her heart
Rejoices for his welfare.... I can nurse....
[To her Maids.] Tell Messer Saracini—night and day,
Alone, without repose, I tended
His Holiness when injured by the falling
Of a wind-toppled tower.
To-night
Be present at my ball.

SARACINI.

Most flattered thanks.

ANGELA.

And I will dance with you.
