‘Five " love-letters " from a " Nun " to a " Cavalier " .’ Done out of French into English. (By) Ro L’Estrange. London 1678. pp. 111-117, 12mo.

To the Reader. " You are to take this Translation very kind- " ly, for the Authour " of it has ventur’d his " Reputation to oblige " you: Ventur’d it " (I say) even in the very Attempt of Co " pying so Nice an " Original. It is, in French, one of the " most Artificial Pieces " perhaps of the Kind, " that is anywhere Ex- " tant: Beside the Pe- " culiar Graces, and " Felicities of that Lan-" guage; in the matter " of an Amour, which " cannot be adopted " into any other " Tongue without Ex- " tream Force, and Affectation. There was " (it seems) an Intrigue " of Love carry’d on " betwixt a French offi- " cer, and a Nun in " Portugal. The Cava- " lier forsakes his Mis- " tress, and Returns " for France. The La- " dy expostulates the " Business in five Let- " ters of complaint, " which she sends af- " ter him; and those " five Letters are here " at your Service. You " will find in them the " Lively Image of an " Extravagant, and an " Unfortunate Passion; " and that a woman may " be Flesh and Bloud, in a " Cloyster, as well as in a " Palace.
