ought so on him,
that a Match being concluded between the Parents of this young Beauty,
and _Henrick's_ Brother, the Hour was appointed before she knew of the
Sacrifice she was to be made. And while this was in Agitation, _Henrick_
was sent on some great Affairs, up into _Germany_, far out of the Way;
not but his boding Heart, with perpetual Sighs and Throbs, eternally
foretold him his Fate.

'All the Letters he wrote were intercepted, as well as those she wrote
to him. She finds herself every Day perplex'd with the Addresses of the
Prince she hated; he was ever sighing at her Feet. In vain were all her
reproaches, and all her Coldness, he was on the surer Side; for what he
found Love would not do, Force of Parents would.

'She complains, in her Heart, of young _Henrick_, from whom she could
never receive one Letter; and at last could not forbear bursting into
Tears, in spite of all her Force, and feign'd Courage, when, on a Day,
the Prince told her, that _Henrick_ was withdrawn to give him Time to

Credit to all he had said, and had much ado to keep herself within the
Bounds of Moderation, and silent Grief. Her Heart was breaking, her Eyes
languish'd, and her Cheeks grew pale, and she had like to have fallen
dead into the treacherous Arms of him that had reduc'd her to this
Discovery; but she did what she could to assume her Courage, and to shew
as little Resentment as possible for a Heart, like hers, oppress'd with
Love, and now abandon'd by the dear Subject of its Joys and Pains.

'But, Madam, not to tire you with this Adventure, the Day arriv'd
wherein our still weeping Fair Unfortunate was to be sacrific'd to the
Capriciousness of Love; and she was carry'd to Court by her Parents,
without knowing to what End, where she was even compell'd to marry the
Prince.

'_Henrick_, who all this While knew no more of his Unhappiness, than
