Dialog
Bishop of Urbino
Per sacrosanctam Ecclesiam, ego conjungo vos in matrimonium. May this union be blessed as the olive branch of peace between your noble houses.
Eleonora Gonzaga
As my father the Marquess often says - concordia res parvae crescunt. I receive this honor with both joy and solemn duty.
Francesco Maria I della Rovere
Ad maiorem Dei gloriam et urbis nostrae securitatem. Your virtues shall be Urbino's strength, as my sword is her defense.
Gonzaga Ambassador
Mutatis mutandis, this union changes the board upon which we all play. Observe how the Duke of Ferrara studies them more intently than the sacrament.
Bishop of Urbino
Let us pray this marriage be as the vine and elm - she the fruitful vine, he the steadfast support. Pax vobiscum.
Eleonora Gonzaga
I shall endeavor to be both wife and daughter of Mantua in Urbino's court - as the ivy embraces the oak without choking it.
Francesco Maria I della Rovere
The garrison shall toast this day with double rations, and the painters shall capture your likeness for our new standard. Thus Urbino proclaims this alliance.
