Farina's devotion she knew his tenderness she divined: his courage she had that day witnessed. The young girl no sooner felt that she could love worthily, than she loved with her whole strength. Muffed and remote came the hunting-song under her pillow, and awoke dreamy delicate curves in her fair face, as it thinned but did not banish her dream.
'Who brought this? tell me! and just waiting to hear it was Farina's mother, she tore the letter open, and read: 'DEAREST LISBETH!

'I 've seen him at last; grant it be for the last time! That's my prayer, in the name of the Virgin and Trinity, said Guy. 'And now let's retrace our steps: perchance we shall hunt up that bauble of yours, but I'm not fit for mortal work this night longer. Burdened by their black encounter, the two passed again behind the Cathedral. Farina's hungry glances devoured each footmark of their track.
Yet, not I! not I! say not, 'twas I did this! Soft praises of melody ascended to them on the moist fragrance of air. It was the hymn of the Sisters. 'How sweet! murmured the Monk. 'Put it from me! away with it! Rising on Farina's back, and stirruping his feet on the thighs of the youth, he cried aloud: 'I charge ye, whoso ye be, sing not this deed before the emperor!
Farina repressed an inclination to perform a few of those antics which violent joy excites, and after rushing away and back, determined to give his secret to the stranger.

But the stranger repeated the same word still more earnestly, and brought Farina's eyes on a couple of dark figures moving under the Cathedral.
When she stood under the sign of the Three Holy Kings, where dwelt Farina's mother, she put up a fervent prayer of thanks, and breathed freely.

'I 've seen him at last; grant it be for the last time! That's my prayer, in the name of the Virgin and Trinity, said Guy. 'And now let's retrace our steps: perchance we shall hunt up that bauble of yours, but I'm not fit for mortal work this night longer. Burdened by their black encounter, the two passed again behind the Cathedral. Farina's hungry glances devoured each footmark of their track.
The grey mist of flats on the south side glimmered delightful to their sight, coming from that drowsy crowd and press of habitations; but the solemn glory of the river, delaying not, heedless, impassioned-pouring on in some sublime conference between it and heaven to the great marriage of waters, deeply shook Farina's enamoured heart.
Among historians, Capponi is the author of a history of Florence; Zini has continued Farina's history of Italy; Bartoli, Settembrini, and De Sanctis have written histories of Italian literature; Villari is the author of able works on the life of Machiavelli and of Savonarola, and Berti has written the life of Giordano Bruno.
