"Really, my little Florentine," said the old gentleman, "this is neither right nor sensible; you danced last evening in 'Les Ruines, and you have spent the night in an orgy. That's deliberately going to work to lose your freshness. Besides which, it was ungrateful to inaugurate this beautiful apartment without even letting me know. Who knows what has been going on here?"
DON EDUARDO. Y que mi Matilde, sólo por vivir con su padre y por disfrutar a su lado de las ruines comodidades de la vida, sacrifica magnánima todos los placeres de la indigencia, que por más que digan aquellos que los han conocido sin buscarlos ... ni merecerlos ... tienen con todo mucho mérito a los ojos de ... las jóvenes de diez y siete años que leen novelas.

No pleasant tale shall 'ere be told, Nor things recounted done of old.
On n'y voit plus que des ruines, avec quelques habitans. Elle a une montagne au levant et la mer au midi. L'un des ses bains porte le nom d'eau sainte. Plus loin est Vyra, ancien château qu'on a demoli en plusieurs endroits. Un Grec m'a dit que l'église avoit trois cents chanoines. Le choeur en subsiste encore, et les Turcs en ont fait une mosquée.

The courtly characters are represented from the point of view of a prurient-minded bourgeoisie; the rustic figures are equally gross in their vulgarity; while the traitor Dametas, who serves as a link between the two classes, is an upstart parasite, described with a satiric touch not unworthy of Webster as 'a little hillock made great with others' ruines. But if we are content to forget the source of the play, we may take a rather more charitable view.
