The gnomes swell the matrimonial prospects
of maidens and exalt their pride, so the maidens refuse the offers of love
and marriage disdainfully.

These gnomes make them full their vacant
brain with the glittering ideas of marrying only with peers and dukes of
highest ranks.
|
85-86

The gnomes make them think about the
Knights of Garters, their glorious dressing (Knights wear coronets), so that
they may be able of calling “Your Grace”.
|

|
These gnomes corrupt the young maidens, who
to flirt and how to roll your eyes.
|
89-90
|
How to create artificial blushes and open
their hearts when the opportunity of fashionable lover arises.
|
91-92
|
Very often, the people think that the women
are getting astray from true path; these are sylphs who guide them through
intricate paths.
|
93-94
|
The sylphs pursue the women through all the
circles of pleasure and get them the new lovers replacing the old ones.
|
95-96
|
The maidens can easily be the victim of
young men treats and the parties throw by these men.

|
101-102
|
The fashionable young gallant wearing wigs
and carrying swords fight with each other to win the hearts of the young
ladies.
|
103-104
|
The living men make mistake by taking the
credits of all these things, they are blind to truth, these are sylphs who
are playing this entire role.

I am one of them (sylphs) and claim your
protection, I am a vigilant spirit and my name is Ariel.

A recent before, I was passing through the
crystal air and in the clear mirror of your ruling star.
|
109-110
|
And in the mirror of your ruling star, I am
sorry to say that I saw some dreadful event is going to happen before sun-set
today.
|
111-112
|
But Heaven did not reveal but what type of
this dreadful event is. I am warning you, oh pious lady, beware of that
event.
|
113-114
|
This is what your guardian sylph can do.
Beware and beware most about man.

The Arial said this when the dog Shock who
thought that his mistress has slept for longer than before leaped up and
waked his mistress with his tongue.

|
Then Blinda waked-up and if the report was
correct, she opened her eyes and the first thing she was the box of love
letter.
|

|
The letters were about the lovers wounded
hearts, charms. She reads the letters and forgot about the omen.
