Some, Beatrice!

( Entreatingly
Beatrice, come!
Dule
(Who would pass by, turns again and sees how Beatrice stands
motionless.)
Go, I said! Was that too mild? shall I command?
Go, beautiful Beatrice! Well? Thau remainest?
Think you,I desire it? Thinkest thou, that when
Thou art gone I'll call you? Not even will one look
Of mine follow your young steps,yet
I would that thou at last did go-
For you lnehantest me,as no other woman,
Nardi and Mrs.Nardi have come from house. Rosina from
the street.
Francesco
Come, Beatrice!
Vittorino
Beatrice!
Dule
Why stand you so bewitched? Did I speak a word.
That holde you here? Did I threaten you? Or the others?
Does any one bar your way?
To the nobles
make place,all of pou!
Go, Beatrice! But step after step
And cause not, not turn thine head,
And venish from my sight as fast as possible!
For to send you forth when you would stay,
To give you to another when you are drawn to me,
Not to embrace you, when twould even please you,
By heaven! Ths would be fully, and I fear
There’s little time, that you are loth to leave me.
Some with me, Beatrice!
Francesco
(His hand on his dagger.)
Duke!

Francesco
( Prevents him.)
Duke.
It is thy will, as it is mine,therefore let
No one here grieve about it.
