Mrs.Nardi
She hasn’t come home yet. What do you want with her?
Francesco
I only wanted to take leave of her,
And place her in safe hands.
Mrs.Nardi
What does that mean'
Rosina
Won't you sleep at home to-night?
Francesco
Didn't you understand me? I wish to take leave
only of Beatrice, from no one else!
From my father too, if he could understand me!
Mrs.Nardi
Where do you come from, Princesco?
Rosina
Young Chiveluzzi was right, he’s in his cup.
Francesco
Has taken his mother by the arm; to her alone)
You know, why I leave you,mother!
The day gives me a welcome moment;
For though,God himself, protect me,never again,
Will I enter this house!
Mrs.Nardi
How dare you to speak so to your mother?
Francesco
mir monsieur
I hope soon to forget what thou was 't
I have seen too much that is low.
And I see new Elsgrace dpproaching.
When I was a child, I could understand nothing,
Nor suspect anything. But a year now has passed
Since my eyes have been opened, and I know,
What has made my father mad, and miserable;
And that it is youwho have been the cause!
Ready, to sell yourself, to give yourself
To whomever wants you! I bless the day and hour,
When I may leave thisvile house,
And know you not!
( unter Beatrice)
Rosina
Well,here’s your Beatrice.
