Lor. By truth herself she slanders truth: she and I
Have not met these many months. O my Abstemia!

Was it her hand that slew the prince?

Conscience is my accuser. O Lorenzo!

When thou shalt think how ardently I love thee,
Drop but a pair of tears from those fair eyes,
Thou offer'st truth a wealthy sacrifice.

Lor. Did ye hear, sir?

Mil. No, what said she?
