Spectators of approved Discretion and Secrecy, were admitted to be
present at the Plot of the Play, but for the Conclusion, it was
privately transacted between the two chief Actors.

It is a Saying of a great _Kofiran_ Poet, that Virtue is like a steep
Island, there is no setting Foot on it again when once one is out of it.
_Zeokinizul_ was a sad Instance of this. In the midst of these
delightful Meetings, which consisted entirely of Confidence, _Liamil_
obtain'd Leave for one of her Sisters to be admitted. Imprudent
