Consummation of the Marriage; telling them there was yet one day of
publick Rejoycing to come, and how glad he should be to have it improved
by so acceptable an Alliance; and what an honour it would be to have his
Cousin's Marriage attended by the Conjunction of so extraordinary a Pair,
the performance of which Ceremony would crown the Joy that was then in
Agitation, and make the last day vie for equal Glory and Happiness with
the first. In short, by the Complaisant and Perswasive Authority of the
Duke, the Dons were wrought into a Compliance, and accordingly embraced
and shook Hands upon the Matter. This News was dispersed like the
former, and Don Fabio gave orders for the enquiring out his Son's
Lodging, that the Marquess and he might make him a Visit, as soon as he
had acquainted Juliana with his purpose, that she might prepare her self.
He found her very chearful with Donna Catharina and several other Ladies;

But the Marquess told her, she should have all the rest of her Life to
consider in; that Aurelian should come and consider with her in the

and call her Maids to Counsel.

Juliana took her leave of the Company very gravely, as if not much
delighted with her Father's Rallery. Leonora happened to be by, and
heard all that passed; she was ready to swoon, and found her self seized
with a more violent Passion than ever for Aurelian: Now upon her
apprehensions of losing him, her active fancy had brought him before her
with all the advantages imaginable, and though she had before found great
tenderness in her Inclination toward him, yet was she somewhat surprized
to find she really lov'd him. She was so uneasie at what she had heard,
that she thought it convenient to steal out of the presence and retire to
her Closet, to bemoan her unhappy helpless Condition.
