a Stranger to the Intrigue, 'till the moment of Ejaculation, which was
not usual with the same Instrument in her Embraces with _Amaryllis_:
When this happen'd she was prodigiously surpriz'd, and endeavouring to
disengage her self from _Philetus_, he folded her more closely in his
Arms; and in the greatest Transport told her, he was her constant
Admirer _Philetus_: She upbraided him for this perfidious Method of
bringing about his Designs; however, upon his telling her, That her
strict way of Living made an uncommon Stratagem absolutely necessary,
that he hop'd she would excuse what Love had prompted him to, and that
notwithstanding what had past, his Designs were honourable; _Theodora_
considering, what had happen'd, and experiencing a material Difference
between Art and Nature, agreed, on his humble Request, to Marry him; and
a Priest was immediately sent for, who solemniz'd their Nuptials. When
the Ceremony was over, _Theodora_ sung this Stanza.
_The Shadow I'll no longer try
Or use the pleasing Toy
A sprightly Youth I can't defy,
The Substance I'll enjoy._
After these Adventures were over, _Amaryllis_ likewise submitted to
Matrimony with a Gentleman of _Ferara_; and they both enjoy'd the
greatest Happiness, making no difficulty to forget all Sorrows past.
The next Intrigues I shall mention, are of two famous Hermaphrodites,
who were more vigorous than common in their Parts, at _Urbino_. It is
not many Years ago (as the Story relates) that there liv'd at _Urbino_
two Hermaphrodites, famous for their Intrigues, and indeed they were
arriv'd to that consummate pitch of Impudence, that they were not
asham'd to own their Bestiality, they not only frolick'd with each
other, but with both Sexes in general; their Names were _Diana_ and
_Isabella_, both of reputable Birth, and well Educated. _Diana_ on a
Time being invited to the Nuptials of a certain Nobleman of _Urbino_,
accompanied him to the House of a noted Clergyman, some distance from
the Residence of _Diana_, to be a Witness to the solemnization of the
Marriage, and being arriv'd there, every thing was instantly provided
for the Ceremony; the Bride was attir'd in the richest Brocade Silks,
with the finest Linnen that could be purchas'd; her Neck and Breasts
were exposed very low, and heav'd with Desire, filling the Bridegroom
with amorous Imaginations, her Hair was adorn'd with the most beautiful
and odorous Flowers, which surrounded her heavenly Face, and made it
appear like a Rose in its bloom, in a delightful Garden, just ready to
be gathered. The Bridegroom was dress'd in Cloth of Gold, and Linnen of
_Flanders_ lac'd; on his Head was a flaxen Peruke reaching to his Waste
of very great Value, and by his Side a Sword, whose Hilt was set with
Diamonds.
