:19:00
Since your kinsfolk...
:19:02
...approve my purpose,
madam...
:19:04
...only your approval
is needful...
:19:07
...in order to sustain my hope.
:19:12
Marquis, your love
is utterly persuasive...
:19:14
...and, flattered by your
nobly phrased professions...
:19:17
...I'll consider them,
but Federico may interpose.
:19:21
I know the count is devious...
:19:24
...though my superior
in nothing else.
:19:27
But I have no doubt...
:19:28
...the justice of my claim
will blind his sight.
:19:32
I've done your bidding.
:19:34
If you're busy, madam...
:19:36
...it would be wrong
to trespass on your time.
:19:39
I do confess
I have to write to Rome.
:19:42
Nothing is worse
than tedious visits...
:19:45
...when one's corresonding.
:19:47
You're very shrewd.
:19:50
In my desire to serve you.
:19:52
Well, Celio...
:19:54
...what d'you think?
:19:55
I'd like to see
your noble suit rewarded.
:20:01
You've written it?
:20:03
I've written it...
:20:04
...not confidently,
but as you commanded.
:20:08
Show me.
:20:17
Read it.
:20:21
It says...
:20:25
"To adore one whom we see
another adore is envy...
:20:28
...if we would not
otherwise...
:20:30
...for if we had
no mind to adore before...
:20:33
...we could not after,
through another's eyes.
:20:38
But when love sees
what it admires...
:20:40
...among another's trophies,
it's provoked to speak...
:20:44
...for what offfends the heart
leaps to the tongue.
:20:48
I say no more, for fear,
as an inferior...
:20:50
...to offend one far superior,
though it may well seem remiss.
:20:57
All I know and seek to show
is this.
:20:59
If I acknowledged
what I hope is true...
