Veronica: Such a gift might be easily taken back again.
Marco: Then name me any other gift.
Veronica: The book will do for now.

Veronica: I'm not so young as you are vain!

Veronica: I wish it were not a sin to have liked it so.
Marco: God made sin that we might know his mercy.
Marco: You know we can't marry.
Veronica: I know only what you tell me.
Marco: I must marry according to my station and my family's will....
