or
Amazement had tied up the Tongues of the whole Company. Aurelian here
was most at a loss, for he knew not of his Happiness; and that which all
along prevented Juliana's confessing her self to him, was her knowing
Hippolito (for whom she took him) to be Aurelian's Friend, and she feared
if he had known her, that he would never have consented to have deprived
him of her. Juliana was the first that spoke, falling upon her Knees to
her Father, who was not enough himself to take her up. Don Fabio ran to
her, and awakened the Marquess, who then embraced her, but could not yet
speak. Fabritio and Leonora strove who should first take her in their
Arms; for Aurelian he was out of his wits for Joy, and Juliana was not
much behind him, to see how happily their Loves and Duties were
reconciled. Don Fabio embraced his Son and forgave him. The Marquess
and Fabritio gave Juliana into his hands, he received the Blessing upon
his Knees; all were over-joy'd, and Don Mario not a little proud at the
discovery of his Son-in-Law, whom Aurelian did not fail to set forth with
all the ardent Zeal and Eloquence of Friendship. Juliana and Leonora had
pleasant Discourse about their unknown and mistaken Rivalship, and it was
the Subject of a great deal of Mirth to hear Juliana relate the several
Contrivances which she had to avoid Aurelian for the sake of Hippolito.
Having diverted themselves with many Remarks upon the pleasing surprize,
they all thought it proper to attend upon the Great Duke that Morning at
the Palace, and to acquaint him with the Novelty of what had pass'd;
while, by the way, the two Young Couple entertained the Company with the
Relation of several Particulars of their Three Days Adventures.
