I take it upon mine!

My father, Giovanni Bentivoglio,

Stands at your gates, in arms! Let who will, question

Francesca Bentivoglio of this deed.

Father, let 's pray for her!

For her—for me!

We need it both! Ah, thou said'st well, my child!

Vengeance is not man's attribute, but Heaven's!

I have usurped it.

Pray—oh, pray for me!
