The pope's legate was also taken by the Stradiotti and carried to Federigo da Bozzolo, who made a present of him to the legate of the council. There were taken also Fabrizio Colonna, Pietro Navarra, the Marchese della Palude, the Marchese di Bitonto, and the Marchese di Pescara, with many other lords, barons, and honourable gentlemen, Spaniards and Neapolitans.
That done and with an exceedingly ill grace the Duke turned on his heel, and with a sullen brow he left the ducal chamber, and passed, unattended, to his own apartments. Rejoicing, Fabrizio da Lodi went his errand, which he discharged with certain additions that might have cost him his head had knowledge of them come to Gian Maria.
There had been hours when his heart had throbbed with gratitude to Philip, and he had believed in his friendship. And now? The king cared for nothing about him, except his brush. He was still standing at the window, lost in gloomy thoughts, when Sophonisba was finally announced. She did not come alone, but leaning on the arm of Don Fabrizio di Moncada.
So, although bravely repulsed by Fabrizio Colonna, the French, from the moment of their first assault, inspired so great and blind a terror that everyone began to talk of opening the gates, and it was only with great difficulty that Calonna made this multitude understand that at least they ought to reap some benefit from the check the besiegers had received and obtain good terms of capitulation.
Don Fabrizio turned away, while she bade Moor farewell. "If you desire my happiness, make him happy," the artist whispered; but she could find no words to reply, and only nodded silently. He drew her gently towards him, kissed her brow, and said: "There is a hard and yet a consoling word Love is divine; but still more divine is sacrifice. To-day I am both your friend and father.
Cosimo says that, though rare, in modern days, they are frequently mentioned by the classical authors, and that his grandfather, like many other Italians, amused himself with practising the ancient methods of gardening. Fabrizio expresses his regret that those who, in later times, affected the manners of the old Romans should select for imitation the most trifling pursuits.
"Your Excellency will be tired," cried Fabrizio, with that ready solicitude which is ever at the orders of the great. "A cup of Puglia wine, my lord. Here, Fanfulla," he called, to the young nobleman who had acted as usher. But the new-comer silenced him and put the matter aside with a gesture. "Let that wait. Time imports as you little dream.
At the very moment when Fabrizio Colonna in a fortified outpost was discussing the conditions of capitulation with the French captains, suddenly great cries of distress were heard.
Fabrizio da Lodi, standing behind the Duke, went pale to the lips. "I do not recall that I did anything there of much account," he answered. "I breathed the good spring air in the woods." "And nothing else?" sneered Gian Maria. "I can bethink me of little else that signifies. I met a lady there with whom I had some talk, a friar, a fool, a popinjay, and some soldiers.
Father Clement will remain safely concealed at my sister's, and you will accompany me in priestly costume. May we rely upon your consent?" "With all the gratitude of a thankful heart, but..." "But?" "There is my old servant and my pupil Ulrich Navarrete." "The old man is taciturn, Don Fabrizio!" said Sophonisba. "If he is forbidden to speak at all.... He is necessary to the Master."
