The Ducal Palace on the right FIAMETTA, GIULIA, ViTTOR iA, and other Contadine discovered each tying a bouquet of roses. CHORUS OF CONTADINE List and learn, ye dainty roses, Roses white and roses red, Why we bind you into posies Ere your morning bloom has fled. By a law of maidens making, Accents of a heart thats aching, Even though that heart be breaking, Should by maiden be unsaid; Though they love with love exceeding, They must seem to be unheeding Go ye then and do their pleading, Roses white and roses red! Fiametta. Two there are for whom, in duty, Every maid in Venice sighs Two so peerless in their beauty That they shame the summer skies.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
