embers of
both Sexes, he order'd his Servants to carry her to the Garret, and tye
her hands and Legs together, and then to put her into the Bed of the
Maid-Servant. This being done, the Parson went to Bed again, as did
likewise his Wife, and the Family was at rest the whole Night; and the
Noise, though it was great, did not disturb the Bride and Bridegroom
after their Enjoyments of Wine and Love.
The next Morning the Parson arose early, and going to the Bride and
Bridegroom, acquainted them with what had happen'd relating to his Wife
and _Diana_, who expressing a very great Concern, and withal protesting,
that the Injury was offer'd without the least Design on their Parts, the

unexpectedly shy, behaving her self with a great deal of gravity; at
length the Supper was brought, consisting of Fish, Fowl, Ragooes, Soops,
&c. dress'd to the heighth of the Mode; they both eat heartily and
drank very freely of noble Wines. After the Supper was over, the Count
renew'd his Addresses to _Isabella_, who seem'd a little more
