The Jewel Merchants: A Comedy in One Act

GRACIOSA Did you find gems worthy of your search? GUIDO Very certainly, since at my journey's end I find Madonna Graciosa, the chief jewel of Tuscany. GRACIOSA Such compliments, Guido, make your speech less like a merchant's than a courtier's. GUIDO Ah, well, to balance that, you will presently find courtiers in Florence who will barter for you like merchants. May I descend? GRACIOSA Yes, if you have something of interest to show me.
