And covets Sforza for a son-in-law : And so he bargains . . .
BlANCA.
Fool, thou dost presume.
84 NEMESIS.
My father, Duke of Milan, sought no son.
He yielded to Francesco Sforza's plea Inspired by love that could not choose but plead.
Francesco loved me . . .
Alfeo.
Oh, and does so still ; His love's so great he prates of it to all ; I overheard the word. he spoke but now Close to the lady Margherita's ear, — 'Twas " Love." No shade of doubt 'twas love of you.
BlANCA.
Devil, 'tis false.
Alfeo....
Nay, angel, it is true.
BlANCA.
Thou heardst him, thou?
Alfeo.
With one of my fool's ears.
The hearing of the wise dulls as they age, But we who fool grow keen with passing years.
(Bianca passes up and gases out at the balcony window.) Alfeo.
Madonna, are you cold ? Ha ha ha !
BlANCA.
No.
I am aflame. But think not that thy jibes Can move me. They befit a shallow court But idly fall on women.
NEMESIS. . 8s Alfeo.
Oh, for them, I'm satisfied if I can make them weep.
BlANCA.
I do not weep ; my eyes are dry.
