SCENE II.
OLYMPIA, VICTORIA, STURIO.STURIO.
All happiness to Lady OLYMPIA.
OLYMPIA.
You're welcome, Sir, from Sicily.—Pray sit, Sir.
I'm glad to see you; you're a mighty stranger.
We have not seen you I'm sure almost these two years.
How like you Sicily, Sir? They say it is
A most enchanting spot.
STURIO.
A Paradise, Madam.
OLYMPIA.
They say so. Pray what news there, Sir? I hope
You left all friends well, and—amongst the rest
How does your friend ALPHONSO?
62
Madam, I left him well.
OLYMPIA.
We're told he has altered his condition lately.—
He's married?—Is he not?—This Lady, Sir,
My friend, may know whate'er belongs to me.
He's married?—
STURIO.
Madam—
OLYMPIA.
Well, I wish him joy
With all my heart. I hope 'tis happily.
The Lady—you have seen her?
STURIO.
Often, Madam.
CASERTA's daughter: not a first-rate beauty,
Nor yet quite homely.
OLYMPIA.
Well, I wish them happy
With all my sonl.—No other news, Sir?
STURIO.
None. But
This letter, Madam, parting from ALPHONSO,
63
Th' abruptness of this hurry; business calls me:
And what more time I have to spare at present
Lord STRENI claims. Madam, may all that's good
Ever attend you.
OLYMPIA.
I thank you, Sir. Farewell.—
