Luigi. "I am the bright and morning-star," saith God—

And, "to such an one I give the morning-star."

The gift of the morning-star! Have I God's gift

Of the morning-star?

Mother. Chiara will love to see

That Jupiter an evening-star next June.

Luigi. True, mother. Well for those who live through June!

Great noontides, thunder-storms, all glaring pomps

That triumph at the heels of June the god

Leading his revel through our leafy world.
