You, perhaps, could make up your mind to be about my hand and chair--to wait on me as a kind little nurse (for you have an affectionate heart and a generous spirit, which prompt you to make sacrifices for those you pity), and that ought to suffice for me no doubt.
Voi potreste forse risolvervi a essermi sempre accanto, a servirmi come un'attenta infermiera, perché avete il cuore affettuoso, siete generosa e pronta a sacrificarvi per quelli che compatite. Questo dovrebbe bastarmi certo.
