was Gentleman of the Chamber to her Majesty He was Young and well Made extraordinary Handsome and had a Bon Grace in all that he did But he was an universal Lover and manag'd an Amour like a Roman Hero It was only Languishing and Sighs that express'd his Flame at the first and he was diligent both Night and day to make her see and understand it She gave him some Hopes which made it stronger which were fully to be explain'd by the Marriage Bed But however the Queen had no inclination to give the poor Gentleman any thing though he had serv'd her as a Page from his Youth and her Majesty had bestow'd Favours upon others who had not merited so much as himself Her Caprice cross'd this Amour but his Patience and Assiduity gain'd his Mistresses Heart insomuch that she gave him to understand that if he was not Happy it would be his own fault But however these fair hopes were of no long continuance for the Count of Warwick came in to Traverse 'em by declaring himself a Lover and was receiv'd with little Ceremony He was an English Lord of high Birth Son to the Earl of Northumberland but being a younger Bro●●er of that Illustrious House which were Persecuted for their Loyalty to their King during the Troubles of England rais'd by Cromwel and the Parliament he was oblig'd to seek his Fortune in Foreign Courts and was at last recommended to the Queen who made him Major Domo after the Death of the Marquis Del Monte. The Earl of Northumberland died at Florence where both himself and Family were Maintain'd by the Bounty of the Grand Duke Count Warwick was of a slender Stature and had an Air of Grandeur which shewed who he was His Complexion was very delicate but his Health seem'd to be ruin'd by the paleness of his Face whether it came from his Temperament or Debaucheries As to the rest his Carriage was the most agreeable in the World and if his Health had been perfectly entire he had been one of the finest Gentlemen in Italy The Marquiss de Mala-Spina being allarmed at so redoubtable a Rival did not know what to do daring neither to conceal nor publish it because of the Antipathy of the Queen against him But his good Genius inspir'd him to go to a Lady of Quality who was Married to a Roman Lord Captain of a Troop of Light-Horse in the Pope's Guards called the Marquiss Cavallieri his Lady being Sister to Count Warwick He entreated her to do him the Favour to represent to her Brother that his Intention in addressing himself to Jovannina being not to Marry her he would not cross a Passion which tended to that Holy Sacrament The Marchioness readily undertook it for fear her Brother should fall into any Trouble in the Queens Service and caus'd him to desist so that the Marquiss was quickly at Repose on that side Jovannina having lost Count Warwick treated the Marquiss much better for fear he should escape again and these two Lovers manag'd their Interests so well that the Maid by the Ascendant she had over the Queen brought her to consent that the Marquiss should make Love to her in the way of Marriage But Cardinal Azzolini who was afraid the Queen would execute this Project and spend as much Money upon her as she had done upon Octavia her Elder Sister turn'd the Queen against it and broke all the Measures of these poor Lovers and at last to comfort her said The Marquis was impotent and no way fit for Marriage The poor Girl afflicted with so many Crosses fell sick and must take the Air again to dissipate her Sorrows And she had scarce begun to take Breath when a certain Italian Abbot of some Birth but little Merit and full of Vanity thought it a seasonable time to perswade her to hear of a Passion which he begun to have for her To this purpose he employ'd a Woman who was one of the Queens Guardrobe who had not been Cruel in her Youth and was very proper to tie an Amorous Noose And as she had an Entrance into the Appartment of the Maids and some part of their Confidence it was easie for her to perswade Jovannina to have some Complaisance for the Abbot Vannini the same Person that had already dishonoured Bandiere's Daughter This Maid being dejected at the ill success of her Amours and the Disgrace of being cast off by so many Lovers embrac'd the Motion upon Condition that her Mother approv'd it The good Mother who liv'd upon nothing but the Wages of the Daughter and had other Children besides and an Husband to maintain yielded to the Temptation of a Thousand Crowns which he gave her and deliver'd up her Daughter to this Villainous Baboon whom Vanity and the Difficulty of it stir'd up to so hard an Enterprise To come to him she counterfeited her self sick once more and the Queen out of Complaisance sent her to Albani where not to lengthen out the Story the Abbot was satisfied After fifteen or twenty Days absence she return'd to Rome and the Abbot who found her a delicate Morsel invented a way to introduce himself into the Queens Palace by means of his Mistresses Confidents His Liberalities gave him Entrance every where and surmounted all Obstacles but he could not do his Business so ●●●retly but that it was found out by the Marquiss Del Monte for he surpriz'd the Lovers in the very flagrant Delight and threatned to destroy them if he did not come in for a share And as he was Almighty with the Queen so he had a Talent to make himself fear'd Thus he obtain'd his Wishes and the Abbot always paid the Expence of the Feast But after all these Pleasures poor Jovannina found her self with Child which affrighted her and made her perfectly desolate ànd her Mother became the most sorrowful of all Women but the Queens Goodness supply'd all Defects and she had Remedies given her to take it away but they had so ill success that she died and was interr'd in the Habit of a Carmelite Crown'd and set round with Flowers for a mark of her Virginity The Queen wept as much as if she had been a Relation so good was this Princess and so full of Tenderness for her Domesticks that she would have left them all Rich at her Death if they would have permitted her to do it 'T is Time that wipes away Tears and Her Majesty comforted her self for the loss of Jovannima by 〈◊〉 Acquisition of another call'd Georgina who surpass'd her in all things but was the innocent cause of her Death as shall be related afterwards At this time the Duke of Mantua being come to Rome the Queen did him so great Honours as none ever received from her before and the Duke on his side would not be behind her in Civility but at last the Ceremonies abated both of one and the other side The Queen was over joy'd that a Sovereign Prince
