The Dutch Lover is a play written by Aphra Behn, a prominent female playwright of the Restoration era. The play is set in Holland and follows the story of a young woman named Ariana, who is being pursued by two suitors: Don Antonio, a Spanish nobleman, and Van Brugh, a Dutch merchant. Ariana's father favors Don Antonio, but Ariana is drawn to Van Brugh's wit and charm. However, their courtship is complicated by the arrival of another Dutch merchant, Vanderbank, who is also vying for Ariana's affection. As the three men compete for Ariana's love, secrets are revealed and alliances are formed, leading to a dramatic and unexpected conclusion. The Dutch Lover is a witty and entertaining play that explores themes of love, jealousy, and betrayal, and showcases Behn's skill as a playwright and storyteller.Sil. Why--I would have thee do--I know not what-- Still to be with me--yet that will not satisfie; To let me--look upon thee--still that's not enough. I dare not say to kiss thee, and imbrace thee; That were to make me wish--I dare not tell thee what.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
