The happiest fool in Italy, for my age!

And all the damning tales you fed me with,

You Sprite of Twilight, Imp of the old Moon!—

Miriam [bowing].

Were arrant lies as ever woman told;

And though not mine, I claim the price for them—

This cap stuffed full of ducats twice a year!

Lara.

A trap! a trap that only caught a fool!

So thin a plot, I might have seen through it.
