Angelo.

          Good day, Carlotti; this is kind, to leave
The splendid pantomime, the gaudy train,
To visit a recluse, whose waning health
Would sink beneath the sun's meridian beams.—
The pageant has commenced?

But is its progress slow. The people throng
In countless multitudes—their eager love
