While walking home from his last lecture two gentlemen approach Decius on the roadway.
Instructor, pardon, but we may spare you an evening dinner and bath for you have been invited to the villa at Capri where you may dine in royalty.
Pardon excepted kind strangers, but I have more than wine and bath that awaits my arrival, things like lessons and books, and seeing that I do not recognize your persons, nor know of any friend or relative of the island of Capri, I think it will readily satisfy you of my grateful decline of your offer. …show more content…

Nay friend Decius, we seek not the contents of your purse, but your presence in Capri.
And I tell you I know of none upon that isle
Oh but you do good
