Butterfly Non mi toccate. Kate Un anno. Va a fargli compagnia. Resto con voi. Te lo comando.
Butterfly remains motionless, lost in sorrowful thought.
Suzuki's sobs are still heard, they die away by degrees. Butterfly has a convulsive movement. Butterfly piously kisses the blade, holding it by the point and the handle with both hands. Amore, amore mio, fior di giglio e di rosa. Butterfly takes the child, seats him on a stool with his face turned to the left, gives him the American flag and a doll and urges him to play with them, while she gently bandages his eyes.
