Hippolito rejoic'd as at the luckiest Accident which could
have befall'n him. Aurelian wondred at his unseasonable Mirth, and
demanded the Cause of it; he answer'd, It would necessitate his longer
Stay in Florence, and for ought he knew be the Means of bringing a happy
Period to his Amour.

His Friend thought him to be little better than a Madman, when he
perceiv'd him of a suddain snatch out of his Bosom a Handkerchief, which
having kiss'd with a great deal of Ardour, he took Aurelian by the Hand,
and smiling at the Surprize he saw him in;

'Your Florentine Cupid is certainly (said he) 'the most Expert in the

Mistress, he would inform him of an Adventure, though not so Accidental,
yet of as great Concern to his own future Happiness. So related all that
had happened to him with his Beautiful Incognita.

Having ended the Story, they began to consider of the Means they were to
use toward a Review of their Mistresses. Aurelian was Confounded at the
Difficulty he conceived on his Part. He understood from Hippolito's
Adventure, that his Father knew of his being in Town, whom he must
