Wouldn't it be better for you to go and cut the roses immediately, my dove? Make haste, for the vessel for which you are to watch bears your happiness. How beautiful the ornaments Leonax is bringing will look! We have never yet seen the like, I imagine. The people in Messina haven't forgotten poor me either, for I heard whispers about a robe such as matrons wear.
"And that is ?" "Weariness. Thousands are worse, and few better, than your cousin; yes, the maiden he chooses for his wife may rejoice."
