Don. Fel. 'Tis impossible it could do otherwise; nor has my trouble been less.
Alv. But let my misfortune be kept secret.
Don Fel. Most willingly; my advantage is sufficient by it, without the vanity of making it publick to the world.
Alv. Incomparable goodness! That I should thus have wronged a man so worthy! [Aside.] My honour then, is safe?
Don Fel. For ever, even for ever let it be a secret, I am content.
Alv. Noble gentleman! [Aside.] As to what advantages ought to accrue to you by it, it shall be all to your entire satisfaction.
Don Fel. Wonderful bounty! [Aside.] As to that, Don Alvarez, I leave it entirely to you, and shall be content with whatever you think reasonable.
Alv. I thank you, from my soul I must, you know I must.——This must be an angel, not a man.
[Aside.
Don Fel. The thanks lie on my side, Alvarez, for this unexpected generosity, but may all faults be forgot, and heav'n ever prosper you.
