Lur. Tiburzio!

Tib. All the wonder is of course.

I am not here to teach you, nor direct,

Only to loyally apprise—scarce that.

This is the latest letter, sealed and safe,

As it left here an hour ago. One way

Of two thought free to Florence, I command.

The duplicate is on its road; but this,—

Read it, and then I shall have more to say.

Lur. Florence!
