not only Sollicit his Freedom but was likewise Liberal of their Money to procure it for it never entred into his Thoughts that his old Love Estephania should have changed the cruel Humour he had left her in into Mildness and Compassion for him All things being agreed on for Trapassa's Discharge his Chains were struck off and he was told he might go whither he would In the mean time could not tell who had been the Author of that Happiness which was no small one in regard that when poor Slaves have served out the time of their Condemnation yet there are some Pretences found to hinder their being set at Liberty so that though they have been Sentenc'd only to Serve 4 Years yet have been forced to remain in Servitude Five or Six Signior Trapassa was extreamly Astonisht when he found himself in the Presence of Estephania who stood waiting on the Shoar to receive him and perceiv'd that it was only by her means that he had recovered his Freedom She received him with open Arms and he to express his Gratitude returned the like obliging Caresses to her So that the Kindness he had now received from her made him quit his Resentments for the Miseries she had occasion'd him He was somewhat Disturb'd that she did not appear in that Habit which he had left her at Madrid as being ignorant of her Design in Disguising herself nor could she at that time give him an Account of it by reason the Captain and others who deliver'd him were present and whom she was obliged to entertain at Dinner Having Treated 'em very handsomely all withdrew save only Trapassa who continued still with his Mistriss Finding themselves alone they repeated their Caresses and outvied one another in Assurances of the Satisfaction they received by that Interview Trapassa returned her Thanks with all the grateful Acknowledgments imaginable for the Trouble and Charge she had been at and the Goodness she had shewn in freeing him from the worst of Slavery On the other side Estephania ask'd his Pardon for the Mischief she had procur'd him and all the Misfortunes her Malice had Occasion'd to him telling him withal That she could not imagin any other way to Repair the Injury she had done him but by joyning Hands with him in Matrimony if he lik'd the Proposal since she had a Daughter already by him and Wealth enough for both of them to live at their Ease I leave you to Judge Whether this Motion was not Pleasing to Trapassa who was ready to catch at the least Offer of Good Fortune upon his coming out of so severe a School of Pennance So that his Answer was in renewing his Embraces satisfying her with what Joy he accepted of the advantageous Bargain she Proposed to him in treating her to give him an Account of his Daughter whom he was passionately Desirous to see Estephania over-joy'd to find his Sentiments so Agreeable to her Expectation presented him with a noble Riding Suit which she had purposely caused to be made for him and the next Morning betimes they took their Journey towards Sevil where Trapassa finding his Daughter then about Eight Years old he acted a part that he had never done before that is he was solemnly Married to the Lady Estephania in the Face of the Church They changed their Lodgings to another Quarter of the City than that where they had formerly dwelt being resolved to live another kind of Life than they had done before For Estephania believing that the Hardship her dear Love had endured in the Gallies had cured him of some of his former Extravagancies and that the Grey Hairs he had brought from thence would Reclaim him from his Debauches She endeavour'd to procure him some Credible Employment in Sevil as well to keep him out of Idleness as that he might thereby bring in something toward House-keeping But an inbred Disposition which was in Trapassa could not easily be brought under Discipline and if he had behaved himself a while with some Reservedness it proceeded from Influence of the Admonitions and Rebukes which his Wife continually gave him and not out of any virtuous Inclination so that through his own Neglect he could find out no other Business but frequenting Gaming-Houses Play-Houses and other vicious places where those who are Naturally inclined to Sloth usually waste most part of their time This course of Life extreamly troubled his Wife who yet willing to avoid all Matrimonial Discontents wink'd at his Disorders and endeavour'd to find some Comfort in the Conversation of his Daughter whose Beauty was already become the common Discourse of the City Trapassa having no settled Business Idleness being the Seminary of all Vices tempted him to follow his former Course of Gaming the Gulf wherein so many fair Estates have been swallowed up He began at first to Play at small Games as if for Recreation only but afterwards venturing still higher he in a short time took the Opportunity to lay Hands on the Goods of his Wife She was sensible enough that too many of her things were wanting and doubted not but her Husband had conveyed them away but all she could do was to weep and bemoan her Misfortune which she charged upon no body but herself Trapassa perceiving her so much disturbed promised Reformation but the cursed Humour of Gaming continuing upon him his Luck was so bad that he Pawned or Sold every thing of Value in his House Finding himself at length reduced to pinching Necessities he began to Contrive how he might again Retrieve himself He would have been content that his Wife who was yet Handsome should have turned Common Prostitute tho' she had but just Recovered her Reputation but he perceived she was grown so Honest and so alter'd from what she had been before that he had not the Confidence to mention it to her For she grew so extream Melancholly at the Disorder'd Demeanour of her Husband that she seem'd in a manner careless of all things and little regarded the Education of her Daughter who was by this time come into the Teens and by reason of these Distractions between her Parents liv'd as she pleased appearing every Day at the Window not with a little Affectation The Grief and Regret which poor Estephania conceived at her being reduced to Penury brought her into a Sickness whereof she Died about a Year after with a sincere Repentance for her past Follies in Hopes to Die as Happy a Death as her Husband had occasion'd her living an Unhappy Life She was very meanly Buried Trapassa not having wherewithal to bestow much on her Funeral He was much concerned at her Death and acknowledged but too late his great Oversight in returning to his ill Courses whereas if he had taken her Advice he might have lived Pleasantly all the rest of his Days All the Comfort he had now lest and the Hope on which he depended for a Livelyhood was the Beauty of his Daughter which he believ'd so Charming as might
