In order to arrive more conveniently at Michelangelo's lodgings, he had a drawbridge thrown across from the corridor, by which he might gain privy access." The date of Michelangelo's return to Rome is fixed approximately by a contract signed at Carrara between him and two shipowners of Lavagna. This deed is dated November 12, 1505.
FIESCO. Thou art an hardened villain such a tool I want. Give me thy hand thou shalt serve me. MOOR. Jest or earnest? FIESCO. In full earnest and I'll pay thee yearly a 'thousand sequins. MOOR. Done, Lavagna! I am yours. Away with common business employ me in whate'er you will. I'll be your setter or your bloodhound your fox, your viper your pimp, or executioner.
She beckoned to me from her window, when I went up received me graciously, and asked me ironically if the Countess of Lavagna had not been lately troubled with the spleen. Does your grace, said I, inquire but for one person? Well said. What answer made she?
How camest thou by that letter? MOOR. Much in the same way as your grace will come by the republic. An express was sent with it towards Levanto. I smelt out the game; waylaid the fellow in a narrow pass, despatched the fox, and brought the poultry hither FIESCO. His blood be on thy head! As for the letter, 'tis not to be paid with gold. Count of Lavagna! 'twas but the other day I sought your life.
GIANETTINO. The names of the twelve candidates for death Francis Zenturione. In gratitude for his vote he leads the funeral procession. GIANETTINO. Cornelio Calva. LOMELLINO. Calva. GIANETTINO. Michael Zibo. LOMELLINO. To cool him after his disappointment in the procuratorship. GIANETTINO. Thomas Asserato and his three brothers. And his three brothers Go on. GIANETTINO. Fiesco of Lavagna.
FIESCO. Fools! who believe that Fiesco of Lavagna will carry on what Fiesco of Lavagna did not begin. The tumult comes opportunely; but the conspiracy must be my own. They are rushing hither Halloo! halloo! You are very obligingly battering the house down. FIESCO, twelve ARTISANS. ALL ARTISANS. Vengeance on Doria! Vengeance on Gianettino! FIESCO. Gently! gently! my countrymen!
2D ARTISAN. Think, Count Lavagna down stairs! because they opposed them in the election ALL. It must not be endured! it shall not be endured! 3D ARTISAN. To take a sword into the senate! 1ST ARTISAN. A sword? the sign of war into the chamber of peace! 2D ARTISAN. To come into the senate dressed in scarlet! Not like the other senators, in black.
MASK. Have you a minute or two to spare, Lavagna? An hour if you request it. MASK. Then condescend to walk into the fields with me. FIESCO. It wants but ten minutes of midnight. MASK. Walk with me, Count, I pray. FIESCO. I will order my carriage. MASK. That is useless I shall send one horse: we want no more, for only one of us, I hope, will return. What say you?
MASK. A bloody answer will be demanded of you, touching a certain tear. FIESCO. What tear? MASK. A tear shed by the Countess of Lavagna. I am acquainted with that lady, and demand to know how she has merited to be sacrificed to a worthless woman? FIESCO. I understand you now; but let me ask who 'tis that offers so strange a challenge?
The portrait might be attributed to Raphael, but for the date. This example is, to my mind, superior to the portrait of Baccio Bandinelli in the Musee; the latter is a little hard, while the Templar, being painted upon 'lavagna, or slate, has preserved its freshness of coloring."
