7/13 Calderon, hear you that ?--in vain! Why wert thou not by? The old relation died suddenly--I took advantage of her loneliness--I entered her house at night. By St.Jago, her virtue baffled and defeated me.

She has fled to the convent to be true to Fonseca; she must fly from the convent to bless the prince. |
