Vol.I. to ITALY.
^er Chamber, when she was in Bed, in the Ab-
sence of the Marquess her Husband. ’Tis pro-
bable that he try’d the softest and most gentle
Ways before he proceeded to a&s of Violence.
But at last when he saw he could not prevail, his
Love turned to Fury, and he was so transported,
with rage that he stabbed this Vertuous Lady.

You will doubtless commend the Paduans, for
taking care to eternize the Memory of so rare
a Virtue, that met with such a barbarous Treat-

When the Marchioness was surpriz’d in her
Bed, her only Sob, about five Years old, was

these things were strong Presumptions of his Guilt.
They put him to the Torture, both ordinary and
