Painted in convents, with the Virgin Mary

On the outside, and on the inside Venus!

Don Carlos. Nay, nay! you do her wrong.

Lara. Ah! say you so?

Don Carlos. She is as virtuous as she is fair;

A very modest girl, and still a maid.

Lara. You are too credulous. Would you persuade me

That a mere dancing girl, who shows herself

Nightly, half-naked, on the stage for money,

And with voluptuous motions fires the blood
