The Dutch Lover is a play written by Aphra Behn, a prominent female playwright in the 17th century. The play revolves around the character of William, a Dutch merchant who falls in love with a wealthy English widow named Ariana. Despite their class differences, William and Ariana engage in a passionate affair, much to the disapproval of Ariana's family and friends. As their relationship becomes increasingly complicated, William must navigate the social and political tensions between England and the Netherlands, while also dealing with the jealousies and betrayals of those around him. With its themes of love, power, and betrayal, The Dutch Lover is a classic example of Restoration-era drama and a testament to Behn's skill as a playwright.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.
