CLARIN. Simple
Is the answer: no one follows
The advice which he has given
To another.

MOSCON [aside]. To see Livia,
Would the gods that I were winged.
[Exit.

CLARIN [aside]. If the honest truth were told
Livia is the girl that gives me
Something worth the living for.
Even her very name has in it
This assurance: 'Livia', yes,
Minus 'a', I live for 'Livi'.*
[Exit.


[footnote] *This, of course, is a paraphrase of the original, which,
perhaps, may be given as an explanation.
"Ilega, 'Livia'.
Al 'na', y se, Livia, 'liviana'."
