The Countess has discharged you,—that’s enough.

Tho’you’re a fool, Tristram, to say the truth,

I have got accustomed to you, and shall be sorry

To part with you. I have quite as many reasons

For wishing you to stay, as you have given me

To be dissatisfied. But so ’tis fated;

And what God willeth, Tristram, needs must be,

After the opinion of certain clerkës.

T. I am not to go with you to-day to Milan?

F. No, Tristram. Now we part.
