But the historian relates, that when Beauty’s (servant) Fancy awoke and missed Heart, he sought for him, and coming to the top of the Palace of Mutual-attachment he beheld Jealousy clasping Heart, and Vision tipsy and senseless: he set out instantly to the city of Sight, and informed Beauty of the transaction.
Beauty came to the garden the same night, and ascending to the terrace of the Palace of Mutual-attachment, she saw Jealousy sleeping on her royal couch with Heart in her wanton embrace. Beauty screamed at the shock, and dropped into the recess of a window.
When Jealousy heard Beauty’s voice, she was conscious that an arrow of her perfidy had hit the mark, and leaving the Palace of Mutual-attachment and the city of Sight, she set out for the city of Monsters.
When Beauty had recovered herself upon the terrace of the Palace, she broiled with the fire of indignation on account of Heart, whom she ordered to be taken out of the garden and carried to a valley in which there was a prison named REPROOF.
But when Jealousy had raised this disturbance and had fled from the city of Sight to her own town, she made known to Guardian the circumstance respecting Beauty and Heart. Guardian having heard (the case), hastened to the city of Sight, and finding Heart, Vision, and Smile in the valley of Reproof, he seized and forced them away to the city of Monsters, in the vicinity of which, there was a desert called THE SANGUINARY DESERT OF SEPARATION: in this desert there was a castle named SEPARATION, and in this castle Guardian imprisoned them and caused them to despair of life. Now Jealousy sent a letter to Beauty at the city of Sight, and informed her of her treachery. Beauty repented that she had chastised Heart, and was distracted at Guardian’s taking him away; she wrote a letter in verse, each distich comprehending some artificial mystery; and giving it to Fancy, she dispatched him by night to the castle of Separation. Heart read the letter which throughout alluded to Vision’s seeing jewels.
Heart then sent an answer to Beauty by the hand of Fancy, and in each verse he gave a distinct explanation of an enigma.
