Neither had he neglected to ascertain the name of the piece to be played that night at the Teatro Argentino, and also what performers appeared in it. The opera of "Parisina" was announced for representation, and the principal actors were Coselli, Moriani, and La Specchia.
"What a confounded time this first act takes. I believe, on my soul, that they never mean to finish it." "Oh, yes, they will; only listen to that charming finale. How exquisitely Coselli sings his part." "But what an awkward, inelegant fellow he is." "Well, then, what do you say to La Specchia? Did you ever see anything more perfect than her acting?"
They express his highest idea of beauty—man created in the image of God, as he testifies in this vault, and in the sonnet ending:— Nè Dio, suo grazia, mi si mostra altrove, Più che’n alcun leggiadro e mortal velo; E quel sol amo, perchè’n quel si specchia. Nor hath God deigned to show himself elsewhere More clearly than in human form sublime Which, since they image Him, alone I love.

The actors made their entries and exits unobserved or unthought of; at certain conventional moments, the spectators would suddenly cease their conversation, or rouse themselves from their musings, to listen to some brilliant effort of Moriani's, a well-executed recitative by Coselli, or to join in loud applause at the wonderful powers of La Specchia; but that momentary excitement over, they quickly relapsed into their former state of preoccupation or interesting conversation.
