altho' it looks as if it were impossible to get her out of the Seraglio I will do it or I will perish in the attempt When Mendez had made an end of speaking those who had been listning to him would have returned into the Grotto but a great noise which they heard towards the Sea made them search into the Cause They went to the bottom of the Hill and when they were upon the shore they saw nothing which gave them any Light After having listned some time they observed this noise came from some place under ground and was formed of confused Voices but they searched no further into it they knowing the entry of that Cave was on the other side of the Rock and it was impossible for them to go thither the feigned Don Garcia having taken away Don Estevans Boat so they were forced to go back to their Grotto to take a slender Meal which was provided for them FINIS A Catalogue of some Novels and Plays Printed for R.

unpleasing to her and she found in the advice which I gave her something which flattered her Inclination but she would not let me know what passed in her Heart until she had satisfied her self better what I self for her she observed my behaviour with great exactness and so soon as she was fully perswaded of the truth of my Passion she began to love the two Brothers less they soon were sensible of her coldness towards them and seeing she favoured none of their Rivals they guessed I was the cause of this change in her You know that in Italy the Women have not any more liberty than in Spain and that the greatest favour they can afford to their Lovers is to appear at a Window or in a Balcony when they give them a Serenade and make Love to them Flavia shewed this Complaisance to none but the two Brothers and therefore it was easie for them to guess that if she had any other Amour it must be with me whom she might see at all times since I lodged in the House They did not dare to make their jealousie known to me for fear of displeasing their Mistress or her Mother But Scipio who was the violentest of the two ingaged me to play with him and having picked a quarrel with me he provoked me to such a Degree that I was forced to draw my Sword upon him we went to fight out of the Town and he attacqued me with so much violence that he run himself through with my Sword and fell down dead at my feet The Officer who was guarding some Prisoners to Naples being followed by about twenty Guards passed by the place where we had fought and having seized me carried me away to Prison Flavia heard with great trouble the misfortune which had befallen me and she having been the innocent occasion of it she sent for Don Alvarez to find out with him some way to save me He advised her to make use of the Power she had over Octavius and to ingage him to let fall his prosecution She immediately took a Pen in her hand and writ to him in these words YOV are not ignorant of the Interest I ought to take in whatsoever concerns Don Miguel de Cardegnas I cannot abandon him without Ingratitude after the Services he has done for our Family You have taken the Tokens of my acknowledgement for the effects of a more tender Passion and your Brother lost himself by not having known my thoughts well I am willing to help you out of an Error by ingageing to you my Faith and and I shall do it without repugnancy since your Brother is dead nothing hinders me from yielding up my self wholy to you But to obtain this Happiness you must sacrifice all your resentments and restore Don Miguel his Liberty And you have no reason to hate a Man who by taking from you a Brother at the same time freed you of a Rival Therefore never see me again unless you bring him back with you and satisfie your self my Heart and my Hand are only to be had at this Price She immediately sent this Letter to Octavius who to shew the strength of his Love by the quickness of his obedience went immediately to the Judges who had condemned him He told them he knew my Innocency and desired them to let me be freed out of Prison They answered him that the time was now past and that the Sentence having been once given there was no way to revoke it Octavius who feared Flavia would accuse him of negligence resolved to rescue me when they carried me to Execution He got his Friends together and having posted them in the Avenues where I was to pass so soon as he saw me appear he fell upon the Officers who guarded me with so much violence that they were forced to quit me And he came immediately and unbound me But as I was giving him my thanks for so generous an Action the Guards who were already gone a consiberable distance from us fired in their flight upon us to hide their Cowardise And Octavius was so unfortunate that a Bullet which was shot at random hit him in the Head and mortally wounded him when I saw my help was of no use to my Benefactor I thought of nothing but making my escape in this disturbance and being passed the Gates of the City I retired to Capua Don Alvarez took care to let me hear from Flavia every day He sent me word that the Mother of Flavia taking me for a Souldier of Fortune had condemned the Inclination that fair Person had for me and had forbidden her to continue a Commerce whereof she disapproved so much I desired Don Alvarez to tell her my true Name without telling her the reasons which had made me change it and to dispose her to give me her Daughter shewing her that my Birth was not inferior to hers My Friend acquitted himself of this Commission with a great deal of Wit But this Lady intending to write into Spain to be assured that what he had told her was true he feared the cruel Adventures which happened to me at Sevil would be known to her Flavia who was afraid her Mother should engage her to any body else and marry her against her Inclination resolved to come to me to Capua and be married to me there privately she discovered her Intentions to Don Alvarez who sent to me to come incognito to Naples So soon as I was arrived there he gave notice of it to Flavia who came out of her Lodgings in the dusk of the Evening at the Garden Door where I waited for her with my Friend We led her into a House which was not far from thence where vve remained concealed for five or six days When vve found that the noise of the stealing avvay of Flavia vvhich vvas spread about the Tovvn vvas somevvhat abated vve returned to Capua vvhere I married Flavia privately I then made my Friends use their Endeavours with her Mother and they convinced her so fully that I vvas not a Match unvvorthy of her that at length she approved of our Marriage and came to take us up at Capua to bring us to a fine House vvhich she had in Calabria on the Sea side Don Estevan was continuing his Relation when he was interrupted by the Arrival of Mendez and the unknown Lady who not having found them in the Cave came thither to seek them The old Man told them he had discovered that Don Henriquez vvas his Grandson and Son to Don Lorenzo of vvhom he had so often spoken to him After the tvvo nevv Comers vvere seated near Don Henriquez and the Old Man the strange Lady persecuted Mendez for his being alvvays in so deep a study Well Sir said she does the remembrance of the Princess Zulemaide possess always your mind and are you resolved to leave us to seek her without knowing in what part of the World you can find her I confess Madam replied Mendez that since I
