ACT I
ANITUS:
My dear confidants, my dear agents, you know how much money I made you
during the last festival of Ceres. I'm getting married and I hope you
will do your duty on this grand occasion.
DRIXA:
Yes, without doubt, Milord, since you are going to make us earn yet
more.
ANITUS:
Madame Drixa, I must have two beautiful Persian rugs. You, Terpandre,
of you I only ask two large silver candelabra. And of you, Acros, a
half dozen dresses of silk embroidered with gold.
TERPANDRE:
That's a bit much; but Milord there's nothing I won't do to deserve
your holy protection.
ANITUS:
You will regain all that a hundred fold. It's the best way to deserve
the favors of the gods and goddesses.
