A great sacrifice is preparing here for two unfortunate Lovers, who cannot be lov'd by their Mistresses, tho they have the most ardent and faithful passion in their breasts that ever was. There are some believe, that if they do not resolve to reward their fidelity, the Goddesse they adore will revenge their deaths after a strange manner; for 'tis the custom of this Goddesse, when she is offended with Ladies rebellions against the Laws of her son, to take a∣way their beauty immaturely, or cause them to love with∣out being lov'd. Therefore 'tis to be wish'd, those two fair persons would reward their Lovers for being so faithful. If they do so, they shall be happy in the highest degree, no∣thing being more sweet than to love and be lov'd, nor no∣thing so miserable as not to love at all.
