Part 1 — “The Pilgrim.”
Reading edition
Act iv. sc. 2.—
Alinda's interview with her father is lively, and happily hit off; but this scene with Roderigo is truly excellent. Altogether, indeed, this play holds the first place in B. and F.'s romantic entertainments, Lustspiele, which collectively are their happiest performances, and are only inferior to the romance of Shakespeare in the As You Like It, Twelfth Night, &c.
Ib.—
“Alin. To-day you shall wed Sorrow,
And Repentance will come to-morrow.”
Read “Penitence,” or else—
“Repentance, she will come to-morrow.”
[pg 313]
