Pallimacro. Che voi tu che io faza philar-
co; io mai potrei indurmi ne lanimo fare
odire chosa che acostei dispiacessi, et emmi
tormento vederla se non lieta et contenta, sel-
le iniusta verso di me , quando che sia sene pen–
tira: et dolerallj in tanto io fra me mai
abandonero damarla et in qualunche
modo molto serbarli honore. Philarco.
Lodoti pallimacro et certo in questo
monstri quanto in te sia zentileza et costu-
me et troppo te biasmarei se tu come ques
ti altri villani et dispectosi amanti nonse
condandoli tutte le cose quanto bestiali troppo
chiedono subito cum sdegno et minacie
vindicando non si vergognono rendere misere

Pallimacro. What would you have me do, Philarco? Not even in my mind could I bring myself to say or do something that would be displeasing to her. And it torments me to see her unhappy or malcontent.
