“What a romance,” says Mangogul. “You believe then that Selim is become very weak. He has lost the lovely Cydalisa, and yet there he is full of life; and you pretend, that if he happened to find Fulvia unfaithful to him, it would kill him. I’ll insure him to you as immortal, if he is never demolished but by that stroke. Selim, tomorrow at Fulvia’s, do you hear? you will have notice of the hour.” Selim bow’d, Mangogul quitted the company: the favorite continued to remonstrate to the old courtier, that he play’d a high game. Selim thank’d her for her tokens of good will, and each retired in expectation of the great event.
