Book excerpt: We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive classic literature collection. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts, We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. Also in books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy. We use state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.It is difficult to discern who truly loves whom in the world of this play and which characters, if any, we can trust as an audience.At this point in English history, both socially and politically, plots and counterplots were commonplace (Behn herself worked as a political spy). Urbanites, courtiers, and hangers on praised virtue and decorum in manner, dress, and more, but deep down many were as guilty of "dissembling" in their own lives as any actor on the stage.

And will you leave me now to Fears, Which Love it self can hardly satisfy?But those, and that together sure will kill me, If you stay long away.Fred. My Dear, 'tis almost day, and we must part;Should those rude Eyes 'mongst whom thou dwell'st perceive us, 'Twould prove unhappy both to thee and me.Clo. And will you, Sir, be constant to your Vows?Fred. Ah Cloris! do not question what I've sworn;If thou would'st have it once again repeated, I'll do't. By all that's good, I'll marry thee;By that most Holy Altar, before which we kneel'd, When first I saw the brightest Saint that e'er ador'd it;I'll marry none but thee, my dearest Cloris.Clo. Sir, you have said enough to gain a creditWith any Maid, though she had been deceiv'dBy some such Flatteries as these before.I never knew the pains of Fear till now; [Sighs.And you must needs forgive the Faults you make, For had I still remain'd in Innocence, I should have still believ'd you.Fred. Why, dost thou not, my Love?Clo. Some doubts I have, but when I look on you, Though I must blush to do so, they all vanish;But I provide against your absence, Sir.Fred. Make no provision, Cloris, but of Hope, Prepare thy self against a Wedding day, When thou shalt be a little Deity on Earth.Clo. I know not what it is to dwell in Courts, But sure it must be fine, since you are there;Yet I could wish you were an humble Shepherd, And knew no other Palace than this Cottage;Where I would weave you Crowns, of Pinks and Daisies, And you should be a Monarch every May.Fred. And, Cloris, I could be content to sitWith thee, upon some shady River's Bank, To hear thee sing, and tell a Tale of Love.For these, alas! I could do any thing;A Sheep-hook I could prize above a Sword;An Army I would quit to lead a Flock, And more esteem that Chaplet wreath'd by thee, Than the victorious Bays: All this I could, but, Dear, I have a Father, Whom for thy sake, to make thee great and glorious, I would not lose my Int'rest with.But, Cloris, see, the unkind day approaches, And we must kiss and part.Clo. Unkind it is indeed, may it prove soTo all that wish its presence, And pass as soon away, That welcome Night may re-assume its place, And bring you quickly back.Fred. With great impatience I'll expect that Hour, That shall conduct me in its Shades to thee;Farewel.Clo. Farewel, Sir, if you must be gone. [Sighs.Fred. One Kiss, and then indeed I will be gone. [Kisses her.A new blown Rose kist by the Morning Dew, Has not more natural Sweetness.Ah Cloris! can you doubt that Heart, To whom such Blessings you impart?Unjustly you suspect that Prize, Won by such Touches and such Eyes.My Fairest, turn that Face away, Unless I could for ever stay;Turn but a little while I go.Clo. Sir, I must see the last of you.Fred. I dare not disobey; adieu till Evening. [Exit.Enter Lucia.Clo. How

Download or read book The Amorous Prince Or the Curious Husband Dodo Press written by Aphra Behn and published by . This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aphra Behn, nee Johnston (1640-1689) was a Restoration poet, novelist, playwright, feminist and spy, considered by many to be the first English professional female writer. Unappreciated for years, she is now rightly regarded as a highly talented, innovative and prolific author. Her most famous work is a novel, Oroonoko (1688) which tells the tragic love story of its eponymous hero, an African forced into slavery. Love-Letters Between a Nobleman and His Sister (1683) is an epistolary novel, (the first ever written) and an innovative and pioneering work. Her other works include: The Forced Marriage (1670), The Dutch Lover (1673), The Feigned Courtesans (1679), The Roundheads (1681), The City Heiress (1682) and Poems Upon Several Occasions (1684).
