receptacle both for Safety and Accommodation he took his leave and committed her to Heaven's protection She remain'd not long in this Village but remembring that Carlo had determin'd to go to Granada she prepar'd to go thither after him with all the speed she could to that end she sold one of her Jewels and furnish'd her self with a Mule and other necessaries for her Journey and hir'd a poor labouring man to be her guide who promis'd to serve her with all faithfulness But before she arriv'd at Granada Carlo was a close Prisoner in Sevil and under strict guard but so many and so powerful were his friends and so great the respect the whole City bare him for his many laudable qualities that Don Fernando mollified by their perswasions was inclin'd to pardon all that was past so that his Daughter were but restor'd him They dispach'd Messengers in all haste to the Village where Carlo and she had been conceal'd but the people Certified them That she stole away from thence the same night that Carlo was apprehended Then they made a strict enquiry throughout all Sevil but could not meet with any body that could give them the least intimation where she was This was a grief which went deepest to Carlo's heart of all that had yet befaln wherefore he besought Heaven with tears to fortifie him with patience against all the heavie Crosses that crouded so fast upon him Alfredo now is he only of all men who grieves not that she is lost who since he had been so unsuccesful in his Love to her is become so far possess'd with malice against her that he wish'd in his heart no lesse mischief were befallen her than the losse of her life But his evil wishes recoil'd upon his own head instead of reaching her to whose harm they were directed For Stella had not been long arriv'd at Granada before she received information of Carlo's imprisonment and of her Fathers indulgence to her she speeded away a Messenger to Certifie him that she was in Granada and in health The Old man over-joy'd to hear such welcome News went forth to receive her accompanied with Carlo and the prime Gentry of the City Only Alfredo refus'd to contribute his presence to that Festivity wherein others joy was his discomfort nay so sensible was he of his reproach when he perceiv'd that his envie and ignoble carriage was notorious to the world that soon after he kept his Chamber and being seiz'd with a violent sicknesse arising from no other apparent Cause but a deep melancholy within a few weeks he ended his wretched days The Sorrow which Carlo had for his Brothers death was greater then might have been expected from him who gain'd so fair an inheritance by it and who had been so discourteonsly treated by him in his life-life-time But Nature commonly combines more effectually than other respects can dis-unite especially in noble breasts and those not possess'd with the Spirit of Ambition With a serene and sober countenance he receiv'd the congratulations of his new Estate and gave God thanks that had freed him from the bondage of misery and brought him to a tranquillity of life which but a few days before he despair'd of ever obtaining so it most frequently falls out that good or bad Fortune come when they are least expected Thus after many rugged brunts of adversity Carlo liv'd in great Splendor and happinesse enjoying the society of his beloved Stella and the Honours of his deceased Brother of whom the common voyce was That Rancor and Envie shortned his life a deserved End for him that repines at other mens Prosperities as if they were his own Afflictions The End Reader These Books following are Printed by Nath.

whether of them had the greatest interest in her The motion Carlo willingly accepted as thinking that none ought to be more tender of Stella's honour than himself who in the mean while suspicious of the event Ay me said she all bathed in her tears which were able to make the rocks sensible Who would have thought that so hopeful a beginning as our loves had should be attended with such improsperous success What avails it me to have been favourable to Carlo 's passion and to be disdeceiv'd in the Opinion I had of his indeserts when this very night wherein I made full account to have been intirely his I see my self in such danger of utterly losing him O Love how certain is it that one sorrow wherewith thou of flictest us countervaileth all those joyes which thy aliurements promise to us I know not what Witchcraft it is wherewith thou inveiglest mens minds but sure it is thou treatest all discourteously and yet all follow thee thou deceivest all and yet all admire thee It must needs be that Heaven hath invested thee with some secret vertue to make thee so charming that those who have cause to complain of thee sollicite thee those whom thou rejectest adhere unto thee O cordial poyson which at once both comfortest and killest Deceitful fire which burnest without consuming Sweet Tyranny which Oppressest all yet makest all delight to be Oppressed by thee In fine Thou art a Universal Tragedy that smilest at the beginning yet art accompanied with disustrous ends There is no condition to which thou art not injurious When one loves the other disdains what despair ensueth When both love yet are debarr'd injoyment what impatience it breeds If separated what dejectedness If affected with Jealousie what trouble and disquietudes But if being Married through interest of Fortune they both happen to disgust each other what greater misery can be imagin'd With these and such like discourses sought the disconsolate Stella to divert the violence of her passion when looking into the street after the two Duellists and seeing neither the one nor the other appear she began first to revolve in her minde what should have betided them next to doubt of the event and lastly to have sollicitous thoughts for the safety of her Lover nor could she refrain from fearing though she strove to suppress that imagination lest he might be either wounded or slain but to free her self from the perplexity of these tormenting doubts she resolv'd to attempt a thing which though it seem'd somwhat inconsistent with the decency of a virgins behaviour yet might be excus'd by the violence of a Lovers passion well knowing that whatever she could do for Carlo could not be lyable to a deeper censure than what she had already done in professing she had design'd him to be her Husband So that she went boldly into the streets leaving her Maid to stand centinel at the door and passing the first she came to the place where Carlo behaving himself with much gallantry press'd hard upon the life of his Antagonist who lesse couragious than his late bravado promis'd in stead of manfully defending himself began to complain of his Brothers presumption and to question him how he knowing him to be Alfredo durst offer so great a violence to his person But Carlo transported with anger at the memory of former injuries and resolv'd not to suffer any longer under his Imperious Envie vow'd not to treat him as a Brother but as an Enemy By this Stella approach'd so neer that him whom wilful silence and his muffled countenance withheld from her knowledge in the chamber she could now easily discern to be Alfredo and finding into what danger the valour of Carlo had reduc'd his life foreseeing the evil which would accompany his death for that it would be the means of her Lovers banishment and so deprive her at once both of his presence and her own life she interpos'd her self between the two combatants just at the juncture of time when Alfredo through haste to avoid his enemies fury having stumbled and fallen to the ground Carlo was about to give that fatal blow which was to have put a period to his wretched days if at the same instant he had not beheld somthing like an Angel stand ready to defend that life which he sought to take away at which he held his hand and saw that to be Stella which he had but even now taken for some heavenly Apparition who giving way that Alfredo might rise spake to him in this manner Is it possible Alfredo that being born great and having had the fairest opportunities that might be to know the world you should not yet know that Love is a thing not to be gain'd by any force or compulsion and that the Will hath so absolute a freedom in it self as not to be over-rul'd by any power lesse than Heaven it self You think belike that to subdue a Lady's Affection is the same thing with batt'ring down a Wall or taking in a strong Fortresse but you deceive your self for the Ice is not more obdurate against the piercing gusts of the North-wind than a Womans heart against the importunity of an indiscreet Lover Perhaps you will tell me that you did it thinking to weary me out with your incessant Sollicitations especially since your flames had not arriv'd unto this hight of Ardour had they not receiv'd nourishment from the respect wherewith I seem'd to treat you at the beginning of your Addresse To this I shall Answer at a more convenient season That which I shall now say is only this That in despite of all your trayterous practices to hinder our Loves it may plainly appear to you if you are not blind by the same token to which but even now you have been witnesse that the love and respect I have for Carlo is no lesse than what is due to a Husband And know this That when a Woman of my condition is driven so openly and freely to declare her passion to go about to remove it is no other thing than to attempt impossibilities But because of the unseasonablenesse of the time and for fear of what inconveniences would follow if our late stirring should have caus'd any disquietude to my Father I must not consent to any longer delay 's in this place you therefore I commend to your Lodging and repose as for your Brother he may if he please henceforth account my habitation his Stella had not quite made an end of her last words before Alfredo pierc'd to the heart with envie and despair went away casting about in his minde all ways whereby he might be reveng'd Carlo on the contrary remain'd so joyful contented as if it had seem'd to him that Fortune weary of persecuting him had reserv'd no more afflictions for him but he that was born to be the object of her malice soon found his imaginations to be but Chimera's for Heaven had decreed to imbitter the glory of this his Conquest with
