All this time the poor man was in as great an ecstasy as I, only not under any surprise as I was; and he said a thousand kind and tender things to me, to compose and bring me to myself; but such was the flood of joy in my breast, that it put all my spirits into confusion: at last it broke out into tears, and in a little while after I recovered my speech; I then took my turn, and embraced him as my deliverer, and we rejoiced together.
In tanto quel pover’uomo estatico anch’egli, se bene d’un’estasi non sì forte come la mia, si giovò d’ogni sorta d’espressioni ed atti amichevoli per ricomporre i miei spiriti e la mia ragione; ma tanta piena di gioia inondavami il petto, che spiriti e ragione vi si perdeano. Finalmente la mia esultanza trovò uno sfogo nel pianto, ed allora solamente riacquistai la parola.
