I observed in this last part of his discourse, which was truly prophetic, though I suppose my father did not know it to be so himself—I say, I observed the tears run down his face very plentifully, especially when he spoke of my brother who was killed: and that when he spoke of my having leisure to repent, and none to assist me, he was so moved that he broke off the discourse, and told me his heart was so full he could say no more to me.
Notai, durante quest’ultima parte del suo discorso, che fu veramente profetica, benchè, io suppongo, quel pover’uomo non sapesse egli stesso quanto profetizzasse la verità; notai, dissi, come gli scorressero copiose lagrime per le guance, allorchè principalmente parlommi del mio fratello rimasto ucciso; così pure allorchè mi disse che avrei avuto campo a pentirmi quando non vi sarebbe stato chi mi avesse potuto più campare: in quel momento apparve si costernato, che troncò di botto il discorso, e mi disse: — «Ho troppo gonfio il cuore per poterti dire altre cose.»
