_Don. Louisa_. Yes; and if ever you wish to prosper in love, you will bring me to him. _Isaac_. By St. Iago and I will too!--Carlos, this Antonio is one who rivals me (as I have heard) with Louisa--now, if I could hamper him with this girl, I should have the field to myself; hey, Carlos! A lucky thought, isn't it? _Don Car_. Yes, very good--very good! _Isaac_. Ah! this little brain is never at a loss--cunning Isaac! cunning rogue! Donna Clara, will you trust yourself awhile to my friend's direction? _Don. Louisa_. May I rely on you, good signor? _Don. Car_. Lady, it is impossible I should deceive you. AIR. Had I a heart for falsehood framed, I ne'er could injure you; For though your tongue no promise claim'd, Your charms would make me true. To you no soul shall bear deceit, No stranger offer wrong; But friends in all the aged you'll meet, And lovers in the young. |
