For having found your way to me,
At such a timely moment, which you little suspected,
Amcept this gift! Battista,you conduct,
These gentlemen unto the gate,and hold their stirrups,
As far as needful – which seems to me
Due them, out of their politeness.
Farewell,and drink my health in Menasoi
If you are granted a safe journey there.
( Exeunt Battista,Antonio,and Tito.)
Isabella
Farewell!
( vnter the women in the house. Music pldys.)
Filippo
( standing alone, joyfully,on the steps of the terrace.)
Accept with pleasure, what fate provide,
And thus be freePTo krongly braoe oneself,
To hold ones self together, is the thing, most needful
To embrace this opportunity, which fate presents.
The girls from the house.
Filippo!
Filippo
Perpo life sende me eer it ends,
A gay adventure,like unto the visions,
That Kloat through the mind,e'er one sleep;
Waking they are gone, and sleep has fled.
The Girls
( Coming to the door.)
Filippo!
Filippo
I come!—Not with heavy laden mind.
-but after all may I find this night worth living through!
No,
Musicians play, Filippo goes into the house,the women
meeting him at the door and leading him in.)
JURTAIN.
