Vit. Yes, Eribert!—thy prophecies of joy

Have taught e’en me to smile.

Eri. ’Tis well. To-day

I have won a fair and almost royal bride;

To-morrow let the bright sun speed his course,

To waft me happiness!—my proudest foes

Must die; and then my slumber shall be laid

On rose-leaves, with no envious fold to mar

The luxury of its visions!—Fair Vittoria,

Your looks are troubled!
