Milady...
1:22:03
Don't answer back.
1:22:11
You need an heir,
there's no other answer.
1:22:14
Every year I've lived...
1:22:15
...is like an enemy.
1:22:16
That may be an excuse
for marrying late...
1:22:20
...but caution sits in judgement
and finds it folly.
1:22:23
After all, I might not get
an heir and still be married.
1:22:28
An old man and a woman are
like an elm encircled by ivy.
1:22:32
Each may enfold the other
in its embraces...
1:22:35
...but while she thrives,
he shrivels.
1:22:38
And even to talk of marriage,
Camilo...
1:22:41
...brings to mind my tragedy...
1:22:44
...and renews my torment.
1:22:46
It's twenty years now
since I lost Teodoro...
1:22:49
...and still I wait
for his return...
1:22:52
...and weep.
1:22:54
A merchant here from Greece
would see you.
1:22:57
He may enter.
1:23:07
I kiss your hands and pray
the heavens above...
1:23:10
...be pleased to grant you
the boon you most desire.
1:23:14
You're very welcome.
1:23:16
But what has brought you
to this distant land?
1:23:20
I sailed to Cyprus
from Constantinople...
1:23:23
...and on to Venice
with a full laden ship.
1:23:25
Recalling though, a story which
has caused me some concern...
1:23:30
...and keen to see Naples...
1:23:32
...I left my minions there,
unloading fabrics...
1:23:34
...and as you see
have journeyed here...
1:23:37
...to gaze upon this fair
and mighty city.
1:23:40
It is a mighty city,
and a fair one.
1:23:43
It is indeed.
1:23:45
My father, sir, like me
was once a Grecian merchant.
1:23:48
The trade he found paid best
was buying and selling slaves.
1:23:52
And so it chanced
that in Azteclias market...
1:23:55
...he bought a boy, the fairest
Nature ever had created.
1:23:58
Camilo, how my heart
misgives me!
