Enter Blandiman and Belisanta.

Belisanta.

Blandiman.

The fathers seek their cells to offer prayers for the new converts.

Belisanta.

Alas! 'tis now the twentieth year since I have sought the mournful consolation of recounting how much a wretched woman owes thy friendship.

Blandiman.

Away with sorrow, and in this moment of rejoicing, demand an audience of the king, your brother.
