"Beatrice, I beg of you! You must be able to hear my plea, ...that's the kind of woman you are! I beg of you, show yourself to me!! You're here, aren't you?! You're standing there, invisible, listening to every word I say, and even now you're mocking me from somewhere in this room, aren't you?! Please, appear before me once more and smile!! Feel free to scold me, even snatch away my life by your own hands if you so desire!! I don't want to die alone like this!! I cannot let myself die until I've seen your smile just one more time!! Aah, Beatrice, Beatrice!! I offer up this life of mine, I offer it up to you!! I'm begging you, Beatriiiiiiiiiiiice!!!"
