— Já que o quereis, força é satisfazer-vos. Noto que a ordem de D. Antonio, e o italiano carregou nesta palavra, manda-vos estar no Paquequer um pouco antes de seis horas, a tempo de ouvir a prece.

“Since you insist, I must satisfy you. I note that the order of Dom Antônio” — and the Italian leaned on the word — “bids you be at the Paquequer a little before six o'clock, in time to hear the prayer.”

The setting

“Since you insist, I must satisfy you. I note that the order of Dom Antônio” — and the Italian leaned on the word — “bids you be at the Paquequer a little before six o'clock, in time to hear the prayer.”

A note on this passage
