Don Garcia of Navarre is a timeless classic that explores themes of love, duty, and honor, and is a must-read for anyone interested in classic literature and theater.To speak my mind freely to you, I am not much astonished at anything the Prince may do; for it is very natural, and I cannot disapprove of it, that a soul inflamed by a noble passion should become exasperated by jealousy, and that frequent doubts should cross his mind: but what surprises me, Don Lopez, is to hear that you keep alive his suspicions; that you are the contriver of them; that he is sad only because you wish it, jealous only because he looks at everything with your eyes. I repeat it, Don Lopez, I do not wonder that a man who is greatly in love becomes suspicious.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
