"Bracilla the Young, and the Charming, that had grown up on the Stage, amidst the perpetual Addresses of her Admirers, and yet seem'd insensible of all the Efforts of Love, as if Heaven had given her Charms to enflame the Heart, without any Compassion to Redress those Miseries her Eyes daily caused to all that beheld her, is believ'd at last, to have found all her cold indifference melt at the secret and well-mannag'd Advances of Monfredo's Love."
