It seemed as if she were on the point of fainting. Eveline immediately smiled tenderly on M. Ceres. The Alcan deputy's speech had a great vogue. In political "spheres" it was regarded as extremely able. "We have at last heard an honest pronouncement," said the chief Moderate journal. "It is a regular programme!" they said in the House. It was agreed that he was a man of immense talent.
This Goodness, Sir, resembles that of Heaven, Preserving what it made, and can be paid Only with grateful Praise as we do that. King. Go, carry on your innocent design, And when you've done, the last act shall be mine. SCENE IV. The Court Gallery. Enter Aminta followed by Alcander, Erminia and Galatea; they go out: re-enter Alcander, and stays Aminta. Alcan. Stay, dear Aminta, do not fly so fast.
His ignorance that she was so, may excuse him. Alcan. The Devil 'twill, dost think he knew it not? Pis. Orgulius still design'd him for Erminia; And if the Prince be disoblig'd from this, He only ought to take it ill from him. Alcan. Too much, Pisaro, you excuse his Pride, But 'tis the Office of a Friend to do so. Pis.
He displayed a piety that would have seemed excessive in an anti-clerical minister, if the Republic had not recognised that religion was of great maritime utility. Acting on the instruction of his spiritual director, the Reverend Father Douillard, the worthy Admiral had dedicated his fleet to St. Orberosia and directed canticles in honour of the Alcan Virgin to be composed by Christian bards.
But yet that Look would call a Saint from th'Altar, And make him quite forget his Ceremony, Or take thee for his Deity: But yet thou hast a very Hell within, Which those bewitching Eyes draw Souls into. Fal. Here's he that fits you, Ladies. Am. Nay, now y'are too unjust, and I will leave you. Alcan. But as you move, my Soul yields that way too. Fal.
Has he more Youth, more Strength, or Arms than I? Can he preserve himself i'th' heat of the Battle? Or can he singly fight a whole Brigade? Can he receive a thousand Wounds, and live? Fal. Can you or he do so? Alcan. I do not say I can; but tell me then, Where be the Virtues of this mighty Man, That he should brave it over all the rest? Pis.
That's another reason for my fears; that ill-Luck owes us a spite, and will be sure to pay us with loving one another, a thought I dread. Farewel, Aminta; when I can get loose from Ardelia, I may chance wait on you, till then your own Pride be your Companion. Am. Nay, you shall not go, Alcander. Alcan. Am.
Ah, that I could remain in this same state, And be contented with this Monarchy: I would, if my wild multitude of Passions Could be appeas'd with it; but they're for Liberty, And nothing but a Common-wealth within Will satisfy their appetites of Freedom. Alcander looks out at the door. Alcan. Who's there? Alcip. A Friend. Alcan. Peace, Isillia. Alcip. I hear a Man within open the door.
Her weakness lay in the fact that she was dazzled by anything that had an aristocratic air. When she was alone with her mother she said: "Mamma, we will go to-morrow to Father Douillard's retreat." Every Friday evening at nine o'clock the choicest of Alcan society assembled in the aristocratic church of St. Mael for the Reverend Father Douillard's retreat.
Alcander, I have none of all these Charms: But well, you say you love me; could you be Content to dismiss these petty sharers in your Heart, And give it all to me; on these conditions I may do much. Alcan. Aminta, more perhaps than I may like. Am. Do not fear that, Alcander. Alcan. Your Jealousy incourages that Fear. Am. If I be so, I'm the fitter for your humour. Alcan.
