  1   I,    XXXIII|         object of his desires, and Camilla so happy in having won Anselmo
  2   I,    XXXIII|         assuring him that his wife Camilla had no other desire or inclination
  3   I,    XXXIII|            a woman so beautiful as Camilla, should be regarded with
  4   I,    XXXIII|           me thee for a friend and Camilla for a wife-two treasures
  5   I,    XXXIII|            knowing whether my wife Camilla is as good and as perfect
  6   I,    XXXIII|           am desirous that my wife Camilla should pass this crisis,
  7   I,    XXXIII|          the consideration that if Camilla be conquered by thee the
  8   I,    XXXIII|            Anselmo my friend, that Camilla is a diamond of the finest
  9   I,    XXXIII|           of it is clear, for when Camilla sees that I pay court to
 10   I,    XXXIII|          it is beyond a doubt, for Camilla, seeing that I press my
 11   I,    XXXIII|           fashion, to pay court to Camilla, who will not be so yielding
 12   I,    XXXIII|         ought in the estimation of Camilla while thou art paying court
 13   I,    XXXIII|     without corrupting the mind of Camilla; so in reply he told him
 14   I,    XXXIII|    Lothario to converse alone with Camilla, and furnishing him with
 15   I,    XXXIII|            house, where they found Camilla awaiting her husband anxiously
 16   I,    XXXIII|      Anselmo without any injury to Camilla. The next day he went to
 17   I,    XXXIII|        friend, and was welcomed by Camilla, who received and treated
 18   I,    XXXIII|        Lothario to stay there with Camilla while he attended to some
 19   I,    XXXIII|      return in an hour and a half. Camilla begged him not to go, and
 20   I,    XXXIII|           At the same time he bade Camilla not to leave Lothario alone
 21   I,    XXXIII|            took his departure, and Camilla and Lothario were left alone
 22   I,    XXXIII|         upon his hand, and, asking Camilla's pardon for his ill manners,
 23   I,    XXXIII|            until Anselmo returned. Camilla in reply said he could repose
 24   I,    XXXIII|            of Anselmo, who finding Camilla in her own room, and Lothario
 25   I,    XXXIII|        only extolled the charms of Camilla, telling her that all the
 26   I,    XXXIII|       things to do at home so that Camilla should not detect the plot.~ ~
 27   I,    XXXIII|         without uttering a word to Camilla, reported to Anselmo that
 28   I,    XXXIII|          far well," said Anselmo; "Camilla has thus far resisted words;
 29   I,    XXXIII|          his mind to tell him that Camilla stood as firm against gifts
 30   I,    XXXIII|           having left Lothario and Camilla alone as on other occasions,
 31   I,    XXXIII|            did not utter a word to Camilla, nor would utter a word
 32   I,    XXXIII|           him about the replies of Camilla was all invention and falsehood,
 33   I,    XXXIII|          he had and in what humour Camilla was. Lothario replied that
 34   I,    XXXIII|        thou has not said a word to Camilla, whence I conclude that
 35   I,    XXXIII|       account for his departure to Camilla, he so arranged it that
 36   I,    XXXIII|           thine own ruin. Thy wife Camilla is virtuous, thou dost possess
 37   I,    XXXIII|          leaving instructions with Camilla that during his absence
 38   I,    XXXIII|          him as she would himself. Camilla was distressed, as a discreet
 39   I,    XXXIII|           only to submit and obey. Camilla said she would do so, though
 40   I,    XXXIII|           where he was received by Camilla with a friendly and modest
 41   I,    XXXIII|        dine hastily; for such were Camilla's orders; nay more, Leonela
 42   I,    XXXIII|    directions to dine earlier than Camilla and never to leave her side.
 43   I,    XXXIII|          but the modest bearing of Camilla, the calmness of her countenance,
 44   I,    XXXIII|          which the many virtues of Camilla exerted in imposing silence
 45   I,    XXXIII|            upon the perfections of Camilla's goodness and beauty one
 46   I,    XXXIII|           never see him nor he see Camilla. But already the delight
 47   I,    XXXIII|          he found in contemplating Camilla; when alone he blamed himself
 48   I,    XXXIII|         the beauty and goodness of Camilla, joined with the opportunity
 49   I,    XXXIII|           he began to make love to Camilla with so much vehemence and
 50   I,    XXXIII|           contrary his passion for Camilla increased, and she discovering
 51   I,     XXXIV|            begun his task and that Camilla must have replied to him
 52   I,     XXXIV|         would very shortly return. Camilla was astonished at Anselmo'
 53   I,     XXXIV|           suit so strenuously that Camilla's firmness began to waver,
 54   I,     XXXIV|         with such engines that had Camilla been of brass she must have
 55   I,     XXXIV|           the virtuous resolves of Camilla and won the triumph he least
 56   I,     XXXIV|      expected and most longed for. Camilla yielded, Camilla fell; but
 57   I,     XXXIV|       longed for. Camilla yielded, Camilla fell; but what wonder if
 58   I,     XXXIV|      Lothario did not care to tell Camilla the object Anselmo had in
 59   I,     XXXIV|        open ridicule. In short, as Camilla is the essence of all beauty,
 60   I,     XXXIV|            it, for the chastity of Camilla yields not to things so
 61   I,     XXXIV|          of the year. Do thou tell Camilla what thou hast proposed
 62   I,     XXXIV|       returning to his house asked Camilla the question she already
 63   I,     XXXIV|           letter she had sent him. Camilla replied that it had seemed
 64   I,     XXXIV|          no room for fear. Had not Camilla, however, been informed
 65   I,     XXXIV|        utterance to the praises of Camilla herself, no doubt she would
 66   I,     XXXIV|           mistress Chloris; for as Camilla did not know her, he might
 67   I,     XXXIV|       hears."~ ~The sonnet pleased Camilla, and still more Anselmo,
 68   I,     XXXIV|    sincerity so manifest. On which Camilla said, "Then all that love-smitten
 69   I,     XXXIV|       uphold Lothario's ideas with Camilla, who was as regardless of
 70   I,     XXXIV|            and thus each step that Camilla descended towards the depths
 71   I,     XXXIV|      occasion alone with her maid, Camilla said to her, "I am ashamed
 72   I,     XXXIV|               They say also," said Camilla, "that what costs little
 73   I,     XXXIV|          blood too. Moreover, lady Camilla, you did not surrender yourself
 74   I,     XXXIV|        Zealous for your honour."~ ~Camilla laughed at her maid's alphabet,
 75   I,     XXXIV|            admitted, confessing to Camilla that she had love passages
 76   I,     XXXIV|            birth of the same city. Camilla was uneasy at this, dreading
 77   I,     XXXIV|          its being known. All that Camilla could do was to entreat
 78   I,     XXXIV|           a way that she confirmed Camilla's apprehension of losing
 79   I,     XXXIV|  depravities; as was the case with Camilla, who though she perceived,
 80   I,     XXXIV|            the ruin of all had not Camilla found a remedy. It did not
 81   I,     XXXIV|         all he thought was that as Camilla had been light and yielding
 82   I,     XXXIV|            to revenge himself upon Camilla, who had done him no wrong,
 83   I,     XXXIV|       conceal from thee. Know that Camilla's fortress has surrendered
 84   I,     XXXIV|         kept (and it was true that Camilla used to meet him there);
 85   I,     XXXIV|        committed in intention, and Camilla's may change perhaps between
 86   I,     XXXIV|          eyes and I with mine what Camilla's purpose may be. And if
 87   I,     XXXIV|             for he now looked upon Camilla as having triumphed over
 88   I,     XXXIV|         have revenged himself upon Camilla in some less cruel and degrading
 89   I,     XXXIV|      decided upon revealing all to Camilla, and, as there was no want
 90   I,     XXXIV| catastrophe will come of it."~ ~As Camilla said this Lothario at first
 91   I,     XXXIV|          remorse; however, he told Camilla not to distress herself,
 92   I,     XXXIV|       imprudence had involved him. Camilla was struck with alarm at
 93   I,     XXXIV|            deliberately to reason, Camilla on the spur of the moment
 94   I,     XXXIV|      needful.~ ~"I tell you," said Camilla, "there is nothing to take
 95   I,     XXXIV|          was able to do easily, as Camilla and Leonela took care to
 96   I,     XXXIV|           possessed in his beloved Camilla. Having made sure of Anselmo'
 97   I,     XXXIV|         being in his hiding-place, Camilla and Leonela entered the
 98   I,     XXXIV|     instant she set foot within it Camilla said, with a deep sigh, "
 99   I,     XXXIV|          What, my friend?" replied Camilla, "we shall leave him for
100   I,     XXXIV|          this, and every word that Camilla uttered made him change
101   I,     XXXIV|           the deed. At this moment Camilla, throwing herself upon a
102   I,     XXXIV|     another persecuted Penelope.~ ~Camilla was not long in recovering
103   I,     XXXIV|            I will not do so," said Camilla, "for rash and foolish as
104   I,     XXXIV|          while awaiting her return Camilla continued, as if speaking
105   I,     XXXIV|            ever come to know) that Camilla not only preserved her allegiance
106   I,     XXXIV|       returning, leading Lothario. Camilla when she saw him, drawing
107   I,     XXXIV|         from the first moment when Camilla directed him to make Anselmo
108   I,     XXXIV|              I did not think, fair Camilla, that thou wert calling
109   I,     XXXIV|            confess that," returned Camilla, "mortal enemy of all that
110   I,     XXXIV|            catastrophe, and seeing Camilla stretched on the ground
111   I,     XXXIV|          and ready wit of the fair Camilla; and the better to support
112   I,     XXXIV|         more pity for him than for Camilla, even though he supposed
113   I,     XXXIV|        wonder at the adroitness of Camilla and the consistent acting
114   I,     XXXIV|      assure Anselmo that he had in Camilla a model of purity. To Leonela'
115   I,     XXXIV|         purity. To Leonela's words Camilla added her own, calling herself
116   I,     XXXIV|            as possible from him.~ ~Camilla replied that she believed
117   I,     XXXIV|         can I know, my dear?" said Camilla, "for I should not dare
118   I,     XXXIV|           praises he bestowed upon Camilla; all which Lothario listened
119   I,     XXXIV|           only because he had left Camilla wounded and had been himself
120   I,     XXXIV|         not to be distressed about Camilla's accident, for, as they
121   I,     XXXIV|         making verses in praise of Camilla that would preserve her
122   I,     XXXIV| destruction of his good name; whom Camilla received with averted countenance,
123   I,      XXXV|         confidence Anselmo felt in Camilla's virtue, he lived happy
124   I,      XXXV|         and free from anxiety, and Camilla purposely looked coldly
125   I,      XXXV|         the displeasure with which Camilla regarded his presence was
126   I,      XXXV|           to hear anything against Camilla, so satisfied and sure of
127   I,      XXXV|             He went at once to see Camilla, and tell her, as he did,
128   I,      XXXV|          no need of saying whether Camilla was agitated or not, for
129   I,      XXXV|       state of perplexity to which Camilla reduced Lothario was such
130   I,      XXXV|        sister of his was prioress; Camilla agreed to this, and with
131   I,      XXXV|           Anselmo, without missing Camilla from his side, rose cager
132   I,      XXXV|          returned, uneasy, to tell Camilla, but not finding her in
133   I,      XXXV|          he was going in search of Camilla it happened by chance that
134   I,      XXXV|       robbed of his honour, for in Camilla's disappearance he saw his
135   I,      XXXV|             carried off last night Camilla, the wife of Anselmo, who
136   I,      XXXV|          told by a maid-servant of Camilla's, whom the governor found
137   I,      XXXV|             what road Lothario and Camilla took?"~ ~"Not in the least,"
138   I,      XXXV|           should reach the ears of Camilla, let her know that I forgive
139   I,      XXXV|          well as the convent where Camilla lay almost on the point
140   I,      XXXV|         repaired. On learning this Camilla took the veil, and shortly
