Whatever be the present chance; no service

Falls to the ground with Florence: she awaits

Her savior, will receive him fittingly.

Lur. Ah, Braccio, you know Florence! Will she, think you,

Receive one ... what means "fittingly receive"?

—Receive compatriots, doubtless—I am none:

And yet Domizia promises so much!

Brac. Kind women still give men a woman's prize.

I know not o'er which gate most boughs will arch.

Nor if the Square will wave red flags or blue.
