Pietro (turning). It is the slave! (Grandly.) I greet you, slave.
Smarda. Greeting!
Pietro. I, Pietro, who, as you know, am sought
By all the loveliest
Attending on the lords and high of Venice.
Smarda. So!.. So!
Pietro. "The gentle Pietro," they say.
You may remember.
Smarda. So.
Pietro. "Proud Pietro!"
And then they sigh.
Smarda. So.
Pietro. Then they weep and pine —
"For Pietro" – until I must console them.
Smarda (going to where he poses; contemptuously).
And for all this, O prince of paramours,
[Spurns him.
My lady no doubt has bid you to sail from Venice?
Pietro. Eh?
Smarda. Eh! And she will hear no doubt with love
That you delay the powers of the Senate
Sent in your keeping to her?
Pietro. Slave! … (alarmed) the papers?
Smarda. With love and with delight? since she awaits them?
With joy? When told your amorous mouthings yonder?
Pietro. Slave, she must never! You will take them to her!
[Fumbles for papers.
In to her … quickly!..
Dear slave, you will – and say if she inquire
That I was led astray
By the little Cyprian with guiling eyes
Who fell enamoured of me at the gate.
Smarda. Civa!
Pietro. The same! I sought to run away,
[Still searching.
O slave, say to her, but I could not for —
For – for a lady by the marble knight,
That is, by the fountain, swooned, as I came in.
And then —
Smarda. Swooned!
Pietro. As I came!
Smarda (a-quiver). Beside the fount?
Who? which? lady Yolanda? lady Berengere?
[He stares at her ardour.
Did no one say?.. My mistress must know this!
The papers, quickly!
Pietro. Slave, you – ! By my sins!
[She has seized them swiftly, and gone. He follows amazed. Then sunset begins without, crimson and far; and Amaury appears from the loggia, reckless and worn. He pauses, looks about him, troubled.
Amaury. Not here yet… There is more in this than seems.
[Goes to divan and sits. Vittia enters behind.
