The Apothecary
 

The other is Volpino, a scented dandy, who finds Grilletta's beauty charming and her fortune irresistible. When she turns him down and he correctly guesses that she returns Mengone's love, he determines to demand a duel with is rival, but talks himself out of it.

 

 

 





 Volpino: The love within my bosom now turns to hatred fell and cruel,
I shall demand a duel.
One blow, my rival dies.
But what if he killed me?
