She wished to walk the whole distance. He shook his head. The fly was ready for her soon, and he begged to see her safe home. She refused, after taking her seat, but said: 'At any other time. We are old friends. You will really go through the ceremony of consulting me about the school? He replied: 'I am honoured. 'Ah, not to me, said Aminta.
Who are those women? Rowsley, are your grounds open every day of the week? She threatens to come in! Lady Charlotte had noted that the foremost and younger of 'those women' understood how to walk and how to dress to her shape and colour. She inclined to think she was having to do with an intrepid foreign-bred minx. Aminta had been addressed by one of her companions, and had hastened forward.
'Hate! exclaimed Selina; and Aminta said: 'Is Lady Charlotte Eglett an authority? 'She has observed, and she thinks. She has in the abstract the justest of minds: and that is the curious point about her. But one may say they are trained at present to be hostile. Some of them fall in love and strike a truce, and still they are foreigners. They have not the same standard of honour.
Moreover, the topical allusions scattered throughout the Aminta, as well as the highly occasional character of the prologue to the Pastor fido, serve to connect these plays directly with the 'occasional' eclogue. These, however, were no more suited to short compositions than the stiff terzines and octaves to more complicated dramatic works.
He nought but sighs and calls upon your name, And vows you are the cruell'st Maid that breathes. Am. Thou can'st not be in earnest sure. Oli. I'll swear I am, and so is he. Am. Nay, thou hast a hard task on't, to make Vows to all the Women he makes love to; Indeed I pity thee; ha, ha, ha. Oli. You should not laugh at those you have undone. Aminta sings.

In the construction of a complicated plot, apart from the dramatic presentation thereof, he achieved a success not to be paralleled by any previous work in Italy, for the difference in the titles of the Aminta and the Pastor fido, the one styled favola and the other tragi-commedia, indicates a real distinction; and Guarini's proud claim to have invented a new dramatic kind was not wholly unfounded . It was this that caused Symonds to speak of his play as 'sculptured in pure forms of classic grace, while describing the Aminta as 'perfumed and delicate like flowers of spring. And lastly, it was this more elaborately dramatic quality that was responsible for the far greater influence exercised by Guarini than by Tasso, both on the subsequent drama of Italy and still more on the fortunes of the pastoral in England.
It meant merely that he would soon fall to writing letters like this, and he could not expect an answer to it. But her heart really thanked him, and wished the poor gentleman to take its dumb response as his reward, for being the one sole one who had loved her. Aminta dwelt on "the one sole one."
