That he desired no more than for him to see her; and he did not doubt a Consequence of his Approbation and Forgiveness—­Well (said Don Fabio) you are very conceited of your own Discretion, let us see this Rarety.  While Aurelian was gone in for Incognita, the Marquess of Viterbo and Don Fabritio were taking their leaves in great disorder for their loss and disappointment; but Don Fabio entreated their stay a moment longer till the return of his Son.  Aurelian led Incognita into the Room veil’d, who seeing some Company there which he had not told her of, would have gone back again.  But Don Fabio came bluntly forwards, and ere she was aware, lifted up her Veil and beheld the Fair Incognita, differing nothing from Juliana, but in her Name.  This discovery was so extreamly surprizing and welcome, that either Joy or Amazement had tied up the Tongues of the whole Company.  Aurelian here was most at a loss, for he knew not of his Happiness; and that which all along prevented Juliana’s confessing her self to him, was her knowing Hippolito (for whom she took him) to be Aurelian’s Friend, and she feared if he had known her, that he would never have consented to have deprived him of her.  Juliana was the first that spoke, falling upon her Knees to her Father, who was not enough himself to take her up.  Don Fabio ran to her, and awakened the Marquess, who then embraced her, but could not yet speak.  Fabritio and Leonora strove who should first take her in their Arms; for Aurelian he was out of his wits for Joy, and Juliana was not much behind him, to see how happily their Loves and Duties were reconciled.  Don Fabio embraced his Son and forgave him.  The Marquess and Fabritio gave Juliana into his hands, he received the Blessing upon his Knees; all were over-joy’d, and Don Mario not a little proud at the discovery of his Son-in-Law, whom Aurelian did not fail to set forth with all the ardent Zeal and Eloquence of Friendship.  Juliana and Leonora had pleasant Discourse about their unknown and mistaken Rivalship, and it was the Subject of a great deal of Mirth to hear Juliana relate the several Contrivances which she had to avoid Aurelian for the sake of Hippolito.

Having diverted themselves with many Remarks upon the pleasing surprize, they all thought it proper to attend upon the Great Duke that Morning at the Palace, and to acquaint him with the Novelty of what had pass’d; while, by the way, the two Young Couple entertained the Company with the Relation of several Particulars of their Three Days Adventures.
