But no misgivings troubled the heart of the betrothed in the Palazzo Cornaro, where she waited in happy confidence, being taught through the ceaseless vigilance of the Senate, that in royal marriages haste was ever unseemly, and full time would be allowed for the fashioning of the wedding trousseau, the weaving of wedding damasks and the complete preparation of a household outfit consistent with the dignity of a queen.
The Count of Tripoli repeated this answer, with an accent of surprise. "He gave the password?" he questioned, sternly. "Eccellenza, si come sempre." Andrea Cornaro, to whom fear was unknown, thinking himself called, immediately responded, coming forward into the light. "I have somewhat to discuss with thee," Rizzo said nonchalantly. "Wilt have a mount?
Many of the physical wrecks we meet, who will probably live from a few months to a few years more, if they continue in the old way, are in the same boat as Mr. Cornaro was at forty. They have had enough experience to begin to do good work, to be of some benefit to humanity. Instead of living and giving the world their best, they die. The world has had to educate these people, and it is expensive.
Crowe and Cavalcaselle are probably right in assigning the great Cornaro Family in the collection of the Duke of Northumberland to the year 1560 or thereabouts.
"And if Visconti's men could be under restraint this night," the Archbishop suggested casually, "and if that Chamberlain of the Queen's could be under trusty guard within the palace not to make suggestions in a matter more to your understanding than mine, your Excellency but I know the man a troublesome one and proud and silent my brother liketh him little. After the Cornaro he is most to fear."
Finally he saw a doctor who understood the principles of natural healing. This wise physician determined that this illness was caused by a mismatch between Cornaro's limited digestive capacity and the excessive amount of food he was eating. So Cornaro was put on a diet of only 12 ounces of solid food and fourteen ounces of liquid a day.
The service closed, and in the great Cornaro tomb in the family chapel, at last was laid to rest the body of one who had enjoyed much but suffered more the sorrowful Queen of Cyprus, the once bright and beautiful Daughter of the Republic. Venice to-day is mouldy and wasting. The palace in which Catarina Cornaro spent her girlhood is now a pawnbroker's shop.
How the young Castelfrancan first achieved such distinction is not told us by the historians, but I have ventured to connect his start in life with the presence of the ex-Queen of Cyprus, Caterina Cornaro, at Asolo, near Castelfranco; I think it more than probable that her patronage and recommendation launched the young painter on his successful career in Venice.
Nor was the later story forgotten of Queen Caterina Cornaro, whose palace-tower overlooks Asolo, and whose secretary, Cardinal Bembo, wrote gli Asolani, from which came the suggestion for the title of Browning's forthcoming volume.
And then, by bidding of their Chief, they flung the palpitating, tortured, lifeless remnant of what one little hour before had been a loyal, noble, winsome man, dreaming of duty and high achievement into the horror of the moat by the pitiful wreck of Andrea Cornaro the two murdered for the double crimes of relationship and loyalty to the trembling girl-Queen.
