I learned, some time since, from the duke, that this young Orlando was most madly enamoured of a low-born girl--nay, desired to wed her.

The duke's story moved my curiosity.

I found that it was the young Beatriz Coello, whom I had already admired on the stage.

Ah, Calderon, she blazed and set during thy dull mission to Lisbon! I sought an opportunity to visit her.
I was astonished at her beauty, that seemed more dazzling in the chamber than on the stage.

I pressed my suit-in vain.
