have that also of being a Captive but Almanzor I know and feel my Heart and all that it doth inspire me is so great that notwithstanding my low condition I feel within me a certain natural adversness which makes me look upon all things that carry any thing of mean and low in them with horror which flatters me in an opinion that I am not inferiour to Roxana I am not happy enough said I to have any Intelligence with a Heart whose Motions are so generous yet fair Almanzaida though I can judge of it but by the outward appearances it is long since I am perswaded of the Truth you speak which makes me look upon you with that respect as is due to a Person whose bare Vertue would prefer her to all the Queens of the World In a word Almanzaida you are worthy to Reign in all places and therefore it is that Abdemar does you that justice Almanzor she replied with some discomposure that seemed to me as disadvantageous to Abdemar give me leisure to forget his Discourses to me I conjure you to it for I declare I hate that Love which he hath entertained me with and no doubt but I should hate his Person likewise should he pursue it Thus replied I in an accent that exprest some disturbance thus it is that those that love you must merit your hate and the Son of Abdala is Are you his Advocate interrupted Almanzaida looking fixtly on me and is it in his behalf that you design to employ that privilege that your Bondage gives you Ah Almanzaida I replied with such an agitation of mind as she could not but discern if my better fortune should procure me any with you it should not be in his or any others behalf but my own that I should employ it I am not his Agent Fair one but his Rival and give me leave to say a more bold and more passionate Lover than he who desires all but dare not hope any thing I did not think replied Almanzaida with much coldness that Abdemar and Almanzor should at the same time make their amorous Addresses to me and I was in hopes that you would have assisted me in diverting the thoughts of his Courtship and not thus add to my troubles And yet I am not angry with you though I should resent it that esteem which I have for you will not permit me which I promise to continue notwithstanding what you have declared provided you repeat it not and that you confirm me by your future silence of your repentance Divers Persons which were seeking for Roxana did interrupt us I was obliged to withdraw where making some Reflexions upon Almanzaida's reception of my Declaration of Love I fancied to find in it more of discomposure than of anger Hopes though small do pleasingly flatter I took enough to perswade me that I was more happy than Abdemar and that she had impos'd me silence for no other reason than because she found in her self more disposition to hear and favourably answer me than she had a mind to discover I pass'd that night passably well and the next day having waited on Abdala unto Roxana's Apartment I had the happiness to see Almanzaida She appear'd neither cold nor disagreeing but as if her Eyes which I observed to be more languishing than fierce did take care to shun mine which I concluded to proceed from a modest bashfulness that cannot be avoided when one would hide the motions of the Heart not being absolutely Master of those of the Eyes Cleonisa being some few days after at Roxana's Apartment did tell her so many fine things in the praise of the Weather that she set her in a humour of going into the Garden Almanzaida took up her Train and Cleonisa who ever had an obliging goodness for me seeing me in Roxana's Chamber and having observed by my assiduous waiting on Almanzaida that her presence was most dear unto me made me take an Umbrella to give me the happy opportunity of making one in the Walk It served onely to cross a Plat of Ground that led to the covered Walks where being got Roxana having made sign to Almanzaida to let go her Train we followed at some distance under pretence of respect and so I had the means of etertaining her with liberty Almanzaida said I those that interrupted us at Roxana 's the other day prevented my answering you on that severe silence that you would have imposed upon me and of letting you know that it is impossible to be silent and love so passionately as I do You would not have me have an esteem for you then replied she the Reward of your silence since you so wilfully relapse into a fault that I was willing to forget I was going to reply but Almanzaida continued saying You abuse my Indulgence Almanzor I was too little mov'd but if you knew how dangerous an Enemy I can be you would doubtless fear me more than you do There is no resisting of that Power which makes me speak I replied and I am confident that you would pardon 〈◊〉 if were sensible of it But am I so criminal onely for loving you and if it be an offence are not you more guilty of it than my self Could my Eyes be pardonable should they see you without admiration and would that admiration be as perfect as you deserve it if it were not followed with all that Passion which I have for you No fair Almanzaida none can behold you with quiet thoughts and I confess that I shall ever remain a Criminal towards you if I cannot become innocent without ceasing to love you I should be very sorry replied she that you should cease being my Friend and to shew you that it is nor Hatred nor so little as Indifferency that I require of you I do protest to You Almanzor that I wish you were my Brother This is a modest way of wishing me dead I replied for if the amorous Almanzor were Brother to the beauteous Almanzaida he would not long out-live that fatal advantage Iudge by these tender resentments whether it were easie or rather possible for me to keep silence Well interrupted Almanzaida since you cannot resolve your self to it see me no more shun the occasions of being in those places where I shall be and I shall take care to forbear those of meeting you Cruel one said I were you so unjust as to execute what you mention you would have much to do to perform it and in vain would you endeavour to hide your self from such Eyes as seek after no other Object but you How obstinate you are replied Almanzaida and what pains must I take to convince you Never hope it said I since 't is easier for me to die than not to love you and let you know it I must hear you then it seems replied Almanzaida blushing in such a manner as added luster to her Charms since that I esteem you Life more than what I required from you There needed no
