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

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).

Download or read book The Uses of Curiosity in Early Modern France and Germany written by Neil Kenny and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2004-07-08 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did people argue about curiosity in France, Germany, and elsewhere in Europe between the sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries, so much more than today? Why was curiosity a fashionable topic in early modern conduct manuals, university dissertations, scientific treatises, sermons, newspapers, novellas, plays, operas, ballets, poems, from Corneille to Diderot, from Johann Valentin Andreae to Gottlieb Spizel? Universities, churches, and other institutions invoked curiosity in order to regulate knowledge or behaviour, to establish who should try to know or do what, and under what circumstances. As well as investigating a crucial episode in the history of knowledge, this study makes a distinctive contribution to historiographical debates about the nature of 'concepts'. Curiosity was constantly reshaped by the uses of it. And yet, strangely, however much people contested what curiosity was, they often agreed that what they were disagreeing about was one and the same thing.
Download or read book Publishing the Woman Writer in England 1670 1750 written by Leah Orr and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-13 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the 'woman writer' emerged as a category of authorship in England. Publishing the Woman Writer in England, 1670-1750 seeks to uncover how exactly this happened and the ways publishers tried to market a new kind of author to the public. Based on a survey of nearly seven hundred works with female authors from this period, this book contends that authorship was constructed, not always by the author, for market appeal, that biography often supported an authorial persona rooted in the genre of the work, and that authorship was a role rather than an identity. Through an emphasis on paratexts, including prefaces, title pages, portraits, and biographical notes, Leah Orr analyses the representation of women writers in this period of intense change to make two related arguments. First, women writers were represented in a variety of ways as publishers sought successful models for a new kind of writer in print. Second, a new approach is needed for studying early women writers and others who occupy gaps in the historical record. This book shows that a study of the material contexts of printed books is one way to work with the evidence that survives. It therefore begins with a very familiar kind of author-centric literary history and deconstructs it to conclude with a reception-centered history that takes a more encompassing view of authorship. In addition to analysis of many little-known and anonymous authors, case studies include Aphra Behn, Catharine Trotter/Cockburn, Laetitia Pilkington, Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy, and Anne Dacier.
