Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Maid of Florence Must drive away the meddling fiend who waits On unemployed hours. Our evil thoughts - Savola. Your evil thoughts, my child - you know not evil - Except a little self-will. But why now, While every maid in Florence, young and old, The fair and homely, noble and the mean - Adorns herself and eagerly awaits The eye of admiration, why should you Her fairest daughter, noble, young and rich, Thus hidden disappoint the longing eyes That watch for you alone? Bianca. But why to-day? This is no festival. What other cause May call them forth? Savola. It is a day of triumph. Our gallant army, by Colonna led, That youthful veteran, with conquest crowned Is entering now the gates: and every heart, That beats with love for Florence, now prepares To grace the triumph of the sons of Florence. Bianca. The sons of Florence! What have they achieved? Say, who has been the hero of the war? No son of Florence, but a foreign chief; The bold Colonna, with a hireling sword, Achieves the laurels of each stricken field; His mercenary band our strong defence, His glory the reproach of Florentines. Savola. You are unjust: although Colonna be The first in arms, yet have our native youth Played well their parts, and should partake his triumph Bianca. They merely did their duty. To have failed Had been dishonor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
