SCENE XI.
TERESA.'Tis plain, 'tis sure she grieves not for her lord.
My thoughts and fears fell first on Ferdinando:
175
And I have seen him gaze profanely at her.
But Carravagio! True he eyes her oft;
And in his study, here and there are seen,
Both nymphs and goddesses, where one may trace
Her comely lineaments; yet in his gaze,
He looks not as a man on woman looks,
But as a student pond'ring o'er a text.
I should as soon expect to find him bedded
With Venus or Diana, as with her.
Lo, where she comes, dejected and perplext.
