OS Bandos de Verona" opens with a confidential interview between Julia Capelete and Elena, Romeo's sister, the unhappy wife of the Count Paris, who dislikes and neglects her.

Why shed such bitter tears, sweet Julia? Trust all your idle girlish griefs to me. My sorrows fester at my aching heart, And yet I weep not.

Alas! I hourly weep, and weep for love.

And I weep not. A slighted woman is too proud to weep.
