Courts of Love and Lesser Virtues in The World’s Wiles
The essay contrasts love as mere talk with merit as a lasting value. It cites moral guidance from a worldwise widow and notes how lovers of different temperaments endure or falter. An Italian noblewoman’s tragedy with the Duke of Mantua is recounted, then Admiral Boscawen’s career and exploits are summarized, including key actions at Porto Bello, Carthagena, Pondicherry, and Louisburg.
