Lovers, Fortune, and a Faulted Equality in Damaged Tales
A narrator recalls Belew and the danger in a poor girl's union with a noble lover whose birth and wealth loom large. The piece recounts Syitora and Amoret, sisters of beauty, left to guardians, then wooed by Philander and Biron. Philander weds Sylvia, then abandons love for gallantry, while Amoret laments. Biron counsels restraint, wary of noble impatience.
