But coin paid, bargain struck and business done,

Once the clandestine marriage over thus,

All parties made perforce the best o' the fact;

Pietro could play vast indignation off,

Be ignorant and astounded, dupe, poor soul,

Please you, of daughter, wife and son-in-law,

While Guido found himself in flagrant fault,

Must e'en do suit and service, soothe, subdue

A father not unreasonably chafed,

Bring him to terms by paying son's devoir.
