She made a sign for the banditti to take the bags of gold from the table, an intimation which Piero and Lomellino did not hesitate to obey. The private staircase leading into the garden then afforded them the means of an unobserved departure; and Nisida felt rejoiced at the success of her midnight interview with the chiefs of the Florentine banditti.
Murder! Murder! Doria is down. Stop the Count Lomellino! Spare but my life, I'll join your party. Is this monster yet alive? Let the coward fly. ZENTURIONE. St. Thomas' gate our own! Gianettino slain! Haste some of you and tell Fiesco. Fiesco! Damnation! Freedom to Genoa, and to my Bertha. Your sword, Zenturione. Take to my bride this bloody weapon her dungeon is thrown open.
"Why, Florence is not much honored with your presence during the day-time," observed Lomellino; "and at night the great lords and high-born ladies who happen to be abroad, are so muffled up the former in their cloaks, the latter in their veils " "True true; I understand all you would say, Lomellino," interrupted the captain; "but you know how to be rather tedious at times.
At the end of this corridor he knocked at another door, which was opened in a few moments by a man who had evidently been aroused from his slumber. "I bring a guest, Lomellino," said Verrina. "See that his lordship be well cared for." Stephano then retraced his way along the corridor, and Lomellino closed and bolted the iron door.
Signor Wagner is as innocent of that deed as the babe unborn; but it is not for me to step forward in his behalf, and thereby criminate a lady on whom I have set my affections." "That were hardly to be expected captain," returned Lomellino. "And all that I have now told thee thou wilt keep to thyself," added Stephano; "for to none else of the band do I speak so freely as to thee."
Say this and further say, Andreas begs but so much ground within his fatherland as may contain his bones. LOMELLINO. I obey; but I despair of success. ANDREAS. Stay; take with thee this snowy lock, and say it was the last upon my head. Say that I plucked it on that night when ungrateful Genoa tore itself from my heart.
Their consternation was increased almost to madness when they suddenly perceived several armed men emerging from the private staircase leading to the subterranean department, and Lomellino found it impossible to tranquilize them either by threats or fair speaking.
LEONORA. His heart he is ready to fling at every wench, whilst I sigh in vain for a look! Oh woman! woman! SCENE XII. The Palace of ANDREAS. GIANETTINO and LOMELLINO enter hastily. GIANETTINO. Let them roar for their liberty as a lioness for her young. I am resolved. LOMELLINO. But most gracious prince! GIANETTINO. Away to hell with thy buts, thou three-hours procurator!
A noisy allegro, during which the back scene opens, and discovers a grand illuminated saloon, many masks dancing. At the side, drinking and playing tables, surrounded with company. GIANETTINO, almost intoxicated, LOMELLINO, ZIBO, ZENTURIONE, VERRINA, CALCAGNO, all masked. Several other nobles and ladies. Bravo! Bravo! These wines glide down charmingly. The dancers perform a merveille.
Thus saying, Stephano Verrina rose from the seat on which he had been lounging; and the Jew, knowing that altercation and remonstrance were equally useless, hastened to afford the means of egress to so unwelcome a visitor. Stephano lingered a moment opposite the house until he heard the door bolted and chained behind him; then crossing the street, he rejoined his follower, Lomellino.
