"I wish you to rule; I mean that in my empire, as in my house, nothing shall be done except by your command; I am the master and the king; I desire and order it." "Sire," said Pazza, "I am your wife and servant; it is my duty to obey."
When Prince Charming had attained his seventeenth year, he went one morning in search of King Bizarre, whose health was declining and who was very desirous of seeing his son married before his death. "Father," said he, "I have long reflected on your wise words. You gave me life, but Pazza has done still more in awakening my mind and soul.
Several years after, I saw Madame Pasta in Paesiello's pretty opera of the "Nina Pazza," on the same subject, and hardly know to which of the two great artists to assign the palm in their different expression of the love-crazed girl's despair.
Nothing is so capricious as sword wounds, as every one knows." "How strange!" cried the king. "On one side it is Tonto, my page, my insolent subject, and on the other it is no, I am not mistaken it is you, my good angel and my savior; it is you, my poor Pazza!" He fell on his knees and seized her hand, which lay on the coverlet. "Sire," said Pazza, "my days are numbered, but before dying "
In such cases, the ablest is he who says the least. The long evening, during which the king had lavished his most gracious smiles on those whom he despised at the bottom of his heart, was at length at an end, and Charming led Pazza, no longer to a dungeon, but to a magnificent apartment, where a new surprise awaited her.
"And why are you called Pazza?" "Because it is not my name." "That is strange," said the king. "No, it is natural," replied the child. "My aunt pretends that I am too giddy for any saint to wish to own me for her goddaughter, and that is why she has given me a name that can offend no one in Paradise." "Well answered, my child. I see that you are not an ordinary girl.
An angelic smile stole over her features, at the sight of which he wept like a child. A fortnight of happiness set Pazza on her feet again, and enabled her to make a triumphant entry into the city with the king, her husband. Her paleness, and her wounded arm, which she carried in a sling, added to her grace and beauty.
Going to the box-office, which he found closed, every seat having been sold before mid-day, Sallenauve considered himself lucky to obtain two seats from a speculator, at the enormous cost of five pounds apiece. The opera was "La Pazza d'Amore" of Paesiello.
You shall write the piece and I will play it; the applause will be mine, according to custom, and I will give it back to you by force of love." "Do not talk in this way, my dear," said Pazza. "I know what I am saying," returned the king, warmly.
And you, ye proud husbands, puffed up with conceit, Who deem yourselves statesmen so wise That the whole world admiringly bows at your feet Who truth, love, and goodness despise Beware lest some day your less frivolous wives, Derided by those they held dear, Should start from your side, aroused by just pride, And give you a box on the ear. "What means this enigma, sire?" asked Pazza.
