Since I returned from Rome to Florence, you know that I have always cared for you, and you know that all that belongs to me I have bestowed on you.
Some days ago, then, when you were ill, I promised solemnly never to fail you in anything within the scope of my whole faculties so long as my life lasts; and this I again affirm.

Now I am amazed that you should have forgotten everything so soon.

And yet you have learned to know me by experience these thirty years, you and your sons, and are well aware that I have always thought and acted, so far as I was able, for your good.

How can you go about saying I have turned you out of doors?
Do you not see what a reputation you have given me by saying I have turned you out?
Only this was wanting to complete my tale of troubles, all of which I suffer for your love.

You repay me well, forsooth.
