Chapter 119

Alinda’s interview with her father is lively, and happily hit off; but this scene with Roderigo is truly excellent. Altogether, indeed, this play holds the first place in B. and F.’s romantic entertainments, _Lustspiele_, which collectively are their happiest performances, and are only inferior to the romance of Shakespeare in the _As You Like It_, _Twelfth Night_, &c.

_Ib._—

“_Alin._ To-day you shall wed Sorrow, And Repentance will come to-morrow.”

Read “Penitence,” or else—

“Repentance, she will come to-morrow.”

“The Queen Of Corinth.”
