Martin Benson: Duke De Medici

Quotes 

• Duke de Medici : This is intolerable! Intolerable! It will take me years to repair the damage by that pompous meddling fool of an ambassador, to say nothing of the damage to my self-respect.

  Francesca : Do you think he'll like my address.

  Duke de Medici : What does it matter whether or not he likes your dress! May I remind you he is an Englishman, so do not expect him to be interested in anything but his-his bed-warming pan and-and-and his ale and he is probably incapable of anything but the grossest, grossest...

  [the English ambassador enters the room] 

  Duke de Medici : Ah, my lord Ambassador.
