ZENTURIONE. We stand here like criminals beneath the gallows. VERRINA. The count will come himself. ZENTURIONE. 'Twere well if he came a little faster. My patience begins to fail. How goes it in the harbor? VERRINA. They're all safe on board. BOURGOGNINO. The palace is full of soldiers. VERRINA. 'Tis almost nine. BOURGOGNINO. The count is long in coming.
At nine precisely let all be at my palace to hear my final orders. VERRINA. I take the harbor. BOURGOGNINO. I the soldiers. CALCAGNO. I will learn the watchword. SACCO. I will reconnoitre Genoa. Did they not struggle against the word subordination as the worm against the needle which transfixes it? But 'tis too late, republicans. My lord
A hot engagement at the St. Thomas' Gate. Who was it that commanded the alarm to be beat? LOMELLINO. A cannon was fired on board one of the galleys. GIANETTINO. The slaves perhaps have risen in mutiny. LOMELLINO. Hark! A shot! GIANETTINO. The gate is open. The guards are in confusion. Light us to the harbor. The former; BOURGOGNINO, with some CONSPIRATORS, coming from the gate of St. Thomas.
Inimitable! Divine, Romano! And that white, dazzling breast, that heaves with the last pulse of life. Draw more such beauties, Romano, and I will give up Nature to worship thy creative fancy. BOURGOGNINO. Is it thus, Verrina, your hopes are answered? VERRINA. Take courage, son! The Almighty has rejected the arm of FIESCO. Upon ours he must rely. Well 'tis your last work, Romano.
You must have been displeased at my long absence. Pardon me. As you wish. And you? BOURGOGNINO. Quite prepared. And you? SACCO. All's right. FIESCO. And Calcagno? BOURGOGNINO. Is not yet arrived. Make fast the gates! Long enough have we borne the insolence of Gianettino Doria, and the usurpation of Andreas. My friends, if we would deliver Genoa, no time is to be lost.
