  1   I,    XXXIII| gentlemen of wealth and quality, Anselmo and Lothario, such great
  2   I,    XXXIII|         friendship between them. Anselmo, it is true, was somewhat
  3   I,    XXXIII|      attraction; but on occasion Anselmo would forego his own tastes
  4   I,    XXXIII|         to fall in with those of Anselmo, and in this way their inclinations
  5   I,    XXXIII|          could not surpass it.~ ~Anselmo was deep in love with a
  6   I,    XXXIII|   Camilla so happy in having won Anselmo for her husband, that she
  7   I,    XXXIII|   Lothario frequented his friend Anselmo's house as he had been wont,
  8   I,    XXXIII|        off going to the house of Anselmo, for it seemed to him, as
  9   I,    XXXIII|          much more from friends. Anselmo remarked the cessation of
 10   I,    XXXIII|          this and much more that Anselmo said to Lothario to persuade
 11   I,    XXXIII|        sense, and judgment, that Anselmo was satisfied of his friend'
 12   I,    XXXIII|       together outside the city, Anselmo addressed the following
 13   I,    XXXIII|          misery."~ ~The words of Anselmo struck Lothario with astonishment,
 14   I,    XXXIII|      That is the truth," replied Anselmo, "and relying upon that
 15   I,    XXXIII|              Such were the words Anselmo addressed to Lothario, who
 16   I,    XXXIII|          cannot persuade myself, Anselmo my friend, that what thou
 17   I,    XXXIII|         no, I know well thou art Anselmo, and thou knowest that I
 18   I,    XXXIII|        me, that thou art not the Anselmo thou wert, and must have
 19   I,    XXXIII|         me are not those of that Anselmo who was my friend, nor are
 20   I,    XXXIII|         and honour. Now tell me, Anselmo, in which of these two art
 21   I,    XXXIII|      without life? Listen to me, Anselmo my friend, and be not impatient
 22   I,    XXXIII|        hear."~ ~"Be it so," said Anselmo, "say what thou wilt."~ ~
 23   I,    XXXIII|         to say, "It seems to me, Anselmo, that thine is just now
 24   I,    XXXIII|    mayest clearly see this, say, Anselmo, hast thou not told me that
 25   I,    XXXIII|      wouldst commit.~ ~"Tell me, Anselmo, if Heaven or good fortune
 26   I,    XXXIII|          of all. Consider, then, Anselmo my friend, that Camilla
 27   I,    XXXIII|        have said to thee so far, Anselmo, has had reference to what
 28   I,    XXXIII|   without knowing it. See, then, Anselmo, the peril thou art encountering
 29   I,    XXXIII|         Lothario was silent, and Anselmo, troubled in mind and deep
 30   I,    XXXIII|       the fixed determination of Anselmo, and not knowing what further
 31   I,    XXXIII|        business so as to satisfy Anselmo without corrupting the mind
 32   I,    XXXIII|        it as soon as he pleased. Anselmo embraced him warmly and
 33   I,    XXXIII|       set about it the next day, Anselmo affording opportunity and
 34   I,    XXXIII|         very different from what Anselmo supposed, and with this
 35   I,    XXXIII|   understanding they returned to Anselmo's house, where they found
 36   I,    XXXIII|   repaired to his own house, and Anselmo remained in his, as well
 37   I,    XXXIII|        by which he might deceive Anselmo without any injury to Camilla.
 38   I,    XXXIII|      over and the cloth removed, Anselmo told Lothario to stay there
 39   I,    XXXIII|       but nothing could persuade Anselmo, who on the contrary pressed
 40   I,    XXXIII|   suspected it was a pretence.~ ~Anselmo took his departure, and
 41   I,    XXXIII|        take a little sleep until Anselmo returned. Camilla in reply
 42   I,    XXXIII|       asleep until the return of Anselmo, who finding Camilla in
 43   I,    XXXIII|         once left the house, and Anselmo asked what he was anxious
 44   I,    XXXIII|       gave great satisfaction to Anselmo, and he said he would afford
 45   I,    XXXIII|          to Camilla, reported to Anselmo that he had talked with
 46   I,    XXXIII|        it.~ ~"So far well," said Anselmo; "Camilla has thus far resisted
 47   I,    XXXIII|       manner, so ordered it that Anselmo, having left Lothario and
 48   I,    XXXIII|        Lothario, Lothario," said Anselmo, "how ill dost thou meet
 49   I,    XXXIII|          attaining my desire?"~ ~Anselmo said no more, but he had
 50   I,    XXXIII|      detected in a lie, swore to Anselmo that he would from that
 51   I,    XXXIII|        suspicions from his mind. Anselmo believed him, and to afford
 52   I,    XXXIII|            Unhappy, shortsighted Anselmo, what art thou doing, what
 53   I,    XXXIII|         might be.~ ~The next day Anselmo took his departure for the
 54   I,    XXXIII|        greater responsibilities. Anselmo replied that it was his
 55   I,    XXXIII|       though against her will.~ ~Anselmo went, and the next day Lothario
 56   I,    XXXIII|          after her marriage with Anselmo. The first three days Lothario
 57   I,    XXXIII|         assail his allegiance to Anselmo, and a thousand times he
 58   I,    XXXIII|         the city and going where Anselmo should never see him nor
 59   I,    XXXIII|        and compared himself with Anselmo; always coming to the conclusion
 60   I,    XXXIII|        the folly and rashness of Anselmo had been worse than his
 61   I,    XXXIII|      inclinations led him, after Anselmo had been three days absent,
 62   I,    XXXIII|        servants with a letter to Anselmo, in which she addressed
 63   I,     XXXIV|    fitting I should say more."~ ~Anselmo received this letter, and
 64   I,     XXXIV|        Camilla was astonished at Anselmo's reply, which placed her
 65   I,     XXXIV|        how to excuse Lothario to Anselmo when he should ask her what
 66   I,     XXXIV|         short he felt that while Anselmo's absence afforded time
 67   I,     XXXIV|          tell Camilla the object Anselmo had in view, nor that he
 68   I,     XXXIV|          her.~ ~A few days later Anselmo returned to his house and
 69   I,     XXXIV|         embraced each other, and Anselmo asked for the tidings of
 70   I,     XXXIV|     tidings I have to give thee, Anselmo my friend," said Lothario, "
 71   I,     XXXIV|         or promises. Be content, Anselmo, and refrain from making
 72   I,     XXXIV|      earth can escape paying."~ ~Anselmo was completely satisfied
 73   I,     XXXIV|         and the treacherous, and Anselmo returning to his house asked
 74   I,     XXXIV|         or being alone with her. Anselmo told her she might be quite
 75   I,     XXXIV|         that he himself had told Anselmo of it in order to be able
 76   I,     XXXIV|          the three were at table Anselmo asked Lothario to recite
 77   I,     XXXIV|          Camilla, and still more Anselmo, for he praised it and said
 78   I,     XXXIV|         doubt of that," observed Anselmo, anxious to support and
 79   I,     XXXIV|          nor pole-star shows."~ ~Anselmo praised this second sonnet
 80   I,     XXXIV|        affording the time to let Anselmo return and by his presence
 81   I,     XXXIV|         come to the knowledge of Anselmo or of Lothario. Leonela
 82   I,     XXXIV|       such an untimely hour from Anselmo's house could have entered
 83   I,     XXXIV|        done him no wrong, before Anselmo had risen he hastened to
 84   I,     XXXIV|          and said to him, "Know, Anselmo, that for several days past
 85   I,     XXXIV|          the wrong done thee."~ ~Anselmo was amazed, overwhelmed,
 86   I,     XXXIV|         jealousy, he had said to Anselmo, and how he had arranged
 87   I,     XXXIV|       contrive that the next day Anselmo should conceal himself in
 88   I,     XXXIV|        to be careful, as soon as Anselmo was concealed, to come to
 89   I,     XXXIV|   answered had he not known that Anselmo was listening. Lothario
 90   I,     XXXIV|        retired, and the next day Anselmo, under pretence of going
 91   I,     XXXIV|     Camilla. Having made sure of Anselmo's being in his hiding-place,
 92   I,     XXXIV|         it, that you should take Anselmo's dagger that I have asked
 93   I,     XXXIV|      life. Ill betide my master, Anselmo, for giving such authority
 94   I,     XXXIV|           we shall leave him for Anselmo to bury him; for in reason
 95   I,     XXXIV|     loyalty I owe my husband."~ ~Anselmo was listening to all this,
 96   I,     XXXIV|       better to disclose this to Anselmo. But then I have called
 97   I,     XXXIV|   instead of a delicate woman.~ ~Anselmo, hidden behind some tapestries
 98   I,     XXXIV|          thou knowest my husband Anselmo, and in what light thou
 99   I,     XXXIV|     Camilla directed him to make Anselmo hide himself he understood
100   I,     XXXIV|          that I know thy husband Anselmo, and that we have known
101   I,     XXXIV|          knowing that his friend Anselmo heard him he spoke in such
102   I,     XXXIV|          what they should say to Anselmo about his lady's wound if
103   I,     XXXIV|          reflected how convinced Anselmo would be that he had a second
104   I,     XXXIV|       have been enough to assure Anselmo that he had in Camilla a
105   I,     XXXIV|          to explain the wound to Anselmo, for he could not help seeing
106   I,     XXXIV|     supports good intentions."~ ~Anselmo had with the deepest attention
107   I,     XXXIV|          wronged him; and though Anselmo could see that Lothario
108   I,     XXXIV|   monument so glorious.~ ~And so Anselmo was left the most charmingly
109   I,     XXXIV|        was published abroad, and Anselmo paid with his life the penalty
110   I,      XXXV|         that from the confidence Anselmo felt in Camilla's virtue,
111   I,      XXXV|         coldly on Lothario, that Anselmo might suppose her feelings
112   I,      XXXV|        be seen. But the befooled Anselmo said he would on no account
113   I,      XXXV|        safely. At last one night Anselmo heard footsteps in Leonela'
114   I,      XXXV|        fact he is my husband."~ ~Anselmo would not believe it, but
115   I,      XXXV|        once or thou diest," said Anselmo.~ ~"It would be impossible
116   I,      XXXV|         to become my husband."~ ~Anselmo was appeased with this,
117   I,      XXXV|          that Leonela would tell Anselmo all she knew of her faithlessness,
118   I,      XXXV|         soon as she thought that Anselmo was asleep, she packed up
119   I,      XXXV|          they might be safe from Anselmo. The state of perplexity
120   I,      XXXV|         As soon as daylight came Anselmo, without missing Camilla
121   I,      XXXV|      great friend of the wealthy Anselmo, who lived at San Giovanni,
122   I,      XXXV|       night Camilla, the wife of Anselmo, who also has disappeared.
123   I,      XXXV|        sheet from the windows of Anselmo's house. I know not indeed,
124   I,      XXXV|        Is it known at all," said Anselmo, "what road Lothario and
125   I,      XXXV|          speed you, senor," said Anselmo.~ ~"God be with you," said
126   I,      XXXV|       intelligence almost robbed Anselmo not only of his senses but
127   I,      XXXV| suffering some heavy affliction. Anselmo at once begged to be allowed
128   I,      XXXV|         it was now late and that Anselmo did not call, determined
129   I,      XXXV|          fate which had befallen Anselmo; and then he read the paper,
130   I,      XXXV|        no reason why -"~ ~So far Anselmo had written, and thus it
131   I,      XXXV|      such a costly experiment as Anselmo's. If it had been represented
132   I,        LI| dismissed us. My rival is called Anselmo and I myself Eugenio-that
133   I,        LI|        the affair; I was aghast, Anselmo thunderstruck, her father
134   I,        LI|    Leandra withdrawn from sight, Anselmo's eyes grew blind, or at
135   I,        LI|        Leandra's father. At last Anselmo and I agreed to leave the
136   I,        LI|       the most sense is my rival Anselmo, for having so many other
