How fine you look!
How changed since last evening.
Francesco
Why, Princesco!
Beatrice,listen to me!
I go forth, as you know;yet am I anxious, most anxious
About you! I would have better like to have
Pl auced you in safety before I went.away
Beatrice
What do you wish? What must I do?
Francesco
You shall stay no longer in this house!
I am too anxious about you! You are
As if a fire had blzed up within you
Whose flames would carry you into the unknown,
And I can no longer watch over you!
I would, that thou should'st remain good, and feel truly,
This will not be the case, as with most people--
When I can no longer watch over you!
Yet I know, that whatever isÑordained for you
should I find you on my return,other thanI would have you,
I would die ofkeme,or spun you from me
I would, that you be good and take the best course,
Twee Vittorino,who loves you,as a husband.
Beatrice
I know that you would have me do this,
