Octavio Piccolomini is a traitor. COUNTESS. O my foreboding! TERZKY. Hadst thou but believed me! Now seest thou how the stars have lied to thee.
Come, dearest! dry thy tears up. They deform Thy gentle eye. Well, now what was I saying? Yes, in good truth, this Piccolomini Is a most noble and deserving gentleman. COUNTESS. That is he, sister!
