Is it possible that Barbarina tells an untruth to her fond and faithful sister? that she shrouds her heart, and will not allow Marietta to read what is written there?" "If I did that," said Barbarina, uneasily, "it was because I shrank from reading my own heart. Be pitiful, Marietta, do not lift the veil; allow my poor heart to heal its wounds in peace and quiet."
No; I should liken her to Diana emerged from the tutorship of Master Endymion, and at nice play among the gods. Depend upon it they tell us nothing of the matter Olympus shrouds the story but you may be certain that when she left the pretty shepherd she had greater vogue than Venus up aloft."
