O, I thought wrong—’tis nothing. All I have done,

Or would do, I cast aside: I love thee only.

Mar. Giovanni.

Pal.O, ’tis true, there’s nothing noble,

Beautiful, sacred, dear, familiar to me,

I hold now at a straw’s worth: body and soul

I am thine, Margaret, I am thine. O, answer me!

Mar. Giovanni, ’tis so strange. ’Tis best I go.

Pal. Thou didst kiss Rosso’s hand.
