Teodoro.
:12:01
It's her!
:12:03
Attend.
:12:05
Your servant, madam.
:12:06
If she's found out,
all three of us are done for.
:12:10
A friend of mine...
:12:11
...uncertain of her skill, has
asked me to compose this note.
:12:15
For friendship's sake,
I felt I should...
:12:18
...although I know
so little of love.
:12:20
I want you, Teodoro,
to improve it.
:12:22
Here, read it.
:12:25
How could I compete
with what you have written?
:12:28
That would be presumptuous.
:12:30
Pray send it to your friend,
I need not read it.
:12:33
Read it.
:12:35
Your doubts astonish me.
:12:37
And I have never used
lovers' language.
:12:40
What? Never, ever?
:12:42
I've so many faults,
I'm far too diffident to love.
:12:45
Your diffidence explains, then,
your disguising.
:12:50
Me? Where, or when?
:12:52
They tell me that the steward
saw you disguised last night.
:12:56
Some prank, perhaps.
Fabio and I...
:12:58
...I fear, are always fooling.
:13:00
Read.
:13:02
Read.
:13:03
I think some enemy
is envious of me.
:13:06
Jealous, maybe.
:13:09
Read it.
:13:11
Read it.
:13:15
I know I'll only wonder
at your wit.
:13:21
"To love because we see
another love is but envy.
:13:24
If we say we're jealous
but not in love...
:13:27
...Iove's theorists disprove.
:13:29
Such love's impossible,
they say.
:13:33
My love, though,
springs from jealousy.
:13:35
Distressed, although I know
I'm handsomer...
:13:38
...I see another seems more
blessed in having won a love.
:13:42
I let "I dare not"
wait upon "I would"...
:13:45
...don't love, but feel
a jealousy intense...
:13:48
...know, since I would be loved,
that love I should.
:13:52
Yet neither yield,
nor offer a defence.
:13:55
Thus what I mean I show,
but do not show.
:13:57
Let he who can,
say what I mean.
