Não se póde lançar os olhos sobre a historia, sem que +se ache disto mil exemplos funestos. Os Gallos Belgicos nos offerecem +hum, capaz de fazer impressão sobre os corações, que não forem +inteiramente privados do sentimento da virtude. + +No anno de 1539 vivia em huma terra consideravel entre Gand, e Curtrai, +a Condessa de Leerven, viuva, e possuidora de bens immensos. Ella não +tinha mais do que huma filha chamada Adriana, a qual a huma grande +belleza ajuntava muito de engraçada. A natureza a tinha dotado de muito +boas qualidades, que huma má educação tinha corrompido. Seu caracter, +ainda que docil no seu fundo, era firme; ordinariamente transportado; e +algumas vezes extremo. Acostumada a não ser contradita, nada a podia +desviar dos projectos, que huma vez tinha concebido: a Condessa sua Mãi, +que a idolatrava, a deixava absolutamente Senhora de suas vontades. + +Hum tão grande partido foi logo procurado por muitas pessoas. Entre o +grande número de seus adoradores, o Barão de Vierkove teve a felicidade +de agradar a Adriana. Elle era de huma figura encantadora, e feita para +o amor; sua alma sensivel, e terna, não pôde resistir aos attractivos de +Adriana; e como elle devia bem pouco temer seus rivaes, não tardou em +ser feliz. O partido era conveniente; por ser elle tambem o herdeiro de +sua casa. A Condessa applaudio a escolha de sua filha, e estes felizes +amantes forão unidos com magnificencia, e grande contentamento de suas +respectivas familias. + +Nunca união alguma deo signaes de ser mais constante. Havia pouco mais +ou menos hum anno que elles vivião nesta feliz, e rara intelligencia, +quando perdêrão a Condessa de Leerven. + +Depois de lhe terem feito os ultimos deveres, elles forão a Gand, para +distrahirem a sua dôr. Naquelle tempo o Imperador Carlos V. vem a +Flandres para apaziguar as perturbações, que alli se tinhão levantado +por occasião das novas taxas, que elle tinha imposto; e ficou algum +tempo nesta Cidade, onde fez severamente castigar os amotinadores. + +O Barão, que tinha a honra de ser particularmente conhecido deste +Principe, foi fazer-lhe sua Corte: elle foi de todos os prazeres deste +Soberano, e mesmo algumas vezes fazia partida com elle. Não havia algum +concerto, que o Imperador não fizesse executar por Musicos Italianos, +que trazia comsigo. Safira, celebre Cantarina, tinha tanto de espirito +como de talento: ainda moça, divertida, e espirituosa, bem depressa se +apercebeo da impressão, que sua voz, e seus encantos tinhão feito sobre +o terno Nierkove; elle esquece-se de suas protestações á terna Adriana; +elle se abandona á sua nova paixão, e só vivia para Safira. Elle corre a +sua casa, lança-se a seus pés, pinta-lhe seu ardor em termos os mais +persuasivos, enche-a de seus donativos: em fim, ouro, diamantes, festas, +tudo foi prodigalizado. Duvida-se bem qual dos dous foi o mais feliz. +Quando se reunem os talentos, a figura, a fortuna, e o nascimento, +póde-se por ventura achar mulheres crueis, principalmente no estado de +Safira? + +O Barão só se occupava de sua felicidade (se della se póde gostar, +quando imprudentemente se faz desgraçada huma Esposa digna da mais viva +ternura): tal he a desordem do coração humano, quando elle se entrega a +seus desejos, e quando a razão o abandona. + +A triste Adriana não pôde conceber em seu Esposo huma mudança tão +repentina: ella estava muito bem persuadida de sua infidelidade: as +liberalidades do Barão já se tinhão notado, e a sua familiaridade com +Safira era publica a toda a Corte. A desafortunada Baroneza deixou ao +tempo o cuidado de fazer tornar a si este infiel: ella se persuadia que +aquillo mesmo que lhe tinha roubado seu Esposo, poderia da mesma sorte +restituir-lho. Além disto ella sabia que o unico meio de reganhar hum +inconstante, era mostrar-se ignorante de sua perfidia, servindo-se +sómente de paciencia, e de doçura. As reprehensões irritão; o silencio +nos condemna, e nos faz entrar em nós mesmos. + +Ella tomou pois este partido; e escreveo ao Barão dizendo-lhe, que se +elle tinha negocios na Corte, ella partia á sua Patria a tratar de seus +interesses; e que lá esperava noticias suas. Sem lembrança de resposta, +ella partio logo, penetrada de dôr, e desesperação. Ella adorava o +Barão: sua inconstancia a penetrou sensivelmente. O retiro em que ella +vivia, longe de extinguir seu amor, lhe deo pelo contrario novas forças. +Sómente corações sensiveis, que tem experimentado a mesma sorte que +Adriana, podem julgar da grandeza de seus males. + +O Barão, sempre encantado de sua querida Safira, parecia ter-se +inteiramente esquecido de Adriana: elle sobre isto nada fallava a seus +amigos; e ninguem da mesma sorte se atrevia a fallar-lhe: elle mesmo +nunca mais lhe escreveo. Sempre occupado de sua amante, não a deixava +hum só momento. Elle a retirou da comittiva do Imperador, que tinha +partido para Hespanha. Elle lhe procurou huma casa toda abundante; e +prazeres sempre novos prevenião continuadamente os desejos da galante +Safira, ambos no meio das delicias julgavão perpetua a sua felicidade! + +As pessoas de honra começárão a murmurar: ainda não era costume, e +principalmente em Flandres, vêr-se o escandalo sem desassocego. Quanto +estes tempos se tem mudado! Presentemente se faz consistir nisto mesmo a +fidelidade; ninguem se envergonha de tratar como respeitaveis estas +uniões criminosas quando ellas são duraveis: o crime applaudido goza +hoje das vantagens da virtude. A vida publica de Nierkove, e de Safira +indispunha o povo; e disto mesmo elles forão informados. O Barão para +evitar tudo isto, resoluto a ir estabelecer-se em Veneza, desfez-se de +seus contratos, e de suas terras, para fazer transportaveis todos os +seus bens. Adriana, que não ignorava o menor passo de seu marido, não +pôde resistir a este ultimo golpe. Transportada, de furor... + +_Ingrato, exclama ella, he este o fructo do amor que em mim tens +experimentado. A perda de teus bens não he o que me afflige: +liberaliza-os á tua indigna, e vil Safira, porém restitue-me o teu +coração. Torna a mim querido, e cruel Esposo; meu amor te perdoa... Mas, +que digo? O infiel vai partir... Póde ser que elle se aparte de mim para +sempre!... Não, perjuro!... tu não me escaparás, eu saberei punir-te +minha vingança fará tremer, servindo de exemplo áquelles, que como tu, +desprezão a ternura de huma Esposa desafortunada... Eu tenho procurado +todos os meios de te recuperar; o tempo, meu silencio, minhas lagrimas, +minha desesperação, não tem podido abrandar-te... A morte só é... Que +digo eu? Ai de mim!... Sim, sim, cruel, a morte só vai unir-vos._ + +Adriana escreveo logo a huma de suas amigas, e lhe pedio em hum escripto +separado que só abrisse sua carta, passados oito dias; porque ella +continha cousas de ultima importancia, que se devião ignorar até este +tempo.. Ella fez logo pôr grades em todas as janellas de seu aposento, e +pregar nas portas fechaduras occultas, cujo segredo só ella conhecia. No +mesmo tempo dispoz tudo de sorte que pudesse prosperar o terrivel +projecto, que tinha meditado. Quanto he para temer huma mulher +justamente irritada! A desesperação occupa toda a sua alma; a vingança a +mais terrivel lhe parece suave; as maiores extremidades meios +ordinarios; e sua propria fraqueza parece dar-lhe todas as forças. + +Tudo assim disposto, ella finge huma doença mortal: de huma mão tremula +ella escreve a seu Esposo: _Eu morro, e vos perdo-o. Eu não vos imputo a +minha morte, e rogo ao Ceo que vos inspire o arrependimento. Vós +recebereis todos os meus bens da mão de hum amigo commum, que delles +será o depositario. Eu não choro a vida; porque nem tenho filhos, nem +Esposo, ai de mim! que me pertenção. Poucas horas tenho já de vida; ao +menos concedei-me a graça de vos tornar a vêr a ultima vez. Vivei feliz, +eu morro, e vos adoro._ + +O desgraçado Barão cahio no laço, que era difficil evitar-se. Elle se +persuadio que não devia honradamente deixar de vêr sua mulher morrendo: +este passo lhe pareceo innocente, e a lembrança do deposito lhe +facilitava o meditado projecto de fugir com Safira. O interesse teve +muito mais poder sobre seu coração do que o amor. Safira, que não podia +suspeitar a desgraça de seu amante, o persuadio a que desse esta ultima +consolação á Baronesa espirando. Elle parte, e em poucos momentos elle +chega á sua terra. A tristeza, que elle vê espalhada entre toda a +familia, moveo sua piedade. Hum negro presentimento se apodera de seu +coração, e sem poder dar conta de seu transporte, elle entra tremendo na +Camara de sua Esposa. As gentes, que á vinda inesperada de Nierkove, +tinhão ordem de se retirar, os deixão sós. A furiosa Adriana fecha logo +todas as portas. De repente, com os olhos errantes, ella se levanta, e +vai a seu gabinete pôr fogo, (sem que seu marido disto se aperceba) a +algumas materias combustiveis, que ella tinha preparado; e logo torna, e +se lança repentinamente sobre seu leito. O Barão aterrado quer chamar +soccorro, persuadindo-se que era isto effeito de transporte: porém qual +foi seu espanto quando elle vio de repente toda a casa em fogo. _Treme, +perjuro_, exclama Adriana, _e reconhece huma Esposa ultrajada: já que tu +não tens podido viver comigo, ingrato, ao menos poderás morrer. A +violencia da chamma, que vai a consumir-te, não igualará jámais os +fógos, que me tem abrazado por ti..._ A estas palavras o fumo lhe tira a +respiração: o Barão sobresaltado debalde procura salvar-se. Bem depressa +a chamma sahe pelas janellas: correm a soccorrellos; arrombão-se as +portas; porém já he tarde: estes Esposos se achão prostrados, e já meios +consumidos. + +Os progressos deste incendio forão tão rápidos, que em pouco tempo todo +o edificio foi reduzido a cinzas. A noticia chegou logo a Gand: +assentou-se que este fogo tinha sido effeito da casualidade; porém a +carta que Adriana tinha escripto á Viscondessa Coppens, sua amiga, +revelou este horrivel misterio. Ella queria sem duvida deixar á +posteridade hum tremendo exemplo da vingança de huma mulher desesperada, +e huma imagem terrivel do castigo de hum Esposo perjuro, e querido. + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of O amor offendido, e vingado, by Unknown + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK O AMOR OFFENDIDO, E VINGADO *** + +***** This file should be named 28640-8.txt or 28640-8.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/8/6/4/28640/ + +Produced by Pedro Saborano.

Não se póde lançar os olhos sobre a historia, sem que se +ache disto mil exemplos funestos. Os Gallos Belgicos nos offerecem hum, capaz +de fazer impressão sobre os corações, que não forem inteiramente privados do +sentimento da virtude.</p> + +<p>No anno de 1539 vivia em huma terra consideravel entre Gand, e Curtrai, a +Condessa de Leerven, viuva, e possuidora de bens immensos. Ella não tinha +mais do que huma filha chamada Adriana, a qual a huma grande belleza ajuntava +muito de engraçada. A natureza a tinha dotado de muito boas qualidades, que +huma má educação tinha corrompido. Seu caracter, ainda que docil no seu +fundo, era firme; ordinariamente transportado; e algumas vezes extremo. +Acostumada a não ser contradita, nada a podia desviar dos projectos, que huma +vez tinha concebido: a Condessa sua Mãi, que a idolatrava, a deixava +absolutamente Senhora de suas vontades.</p> + +<p>Hum tão grande partido foi logo procurado por muitas pessoas. Entre o +grande número de seus adoradores, o Barão de Vierkove teve a felicidade de +agradar a Adriana. Elle era de huma figura encantadora, e feita para o amor; +sua alma sensivel, e terna, não pôde resistir aos attractivos de Adriana; e +como elle devia bem pouco temer seus rivaes, não tardou em ser feliz. O +partido era conveniente; por ser elle tambem o herdeiro de sua casa. A +Condessa applaudio a escolha de sua filha, e estes felizes amantes forão +unidos com magnificencia, e grande contentamento de suas respectivas +familias.</p> + +<p>Nunca união alguma deo signaes de ser mais constante. Havia pouco mais ou +menos hum anno que elles vivião nesta feliz, e rara intelligencia, quando +perdêrão a Condessa de Leerven.</p> + +<p>Depois de lhe terem feito os ultimos deveres, elles forão a Gand, para +distrahirem a sua dôr. Naquelle tempo o Imperador Carlos V. vem a Flandres +para apaziguar as perturbações, que alli se tinhão levantado por occasião das +novas taxas, que elle tinha imposto; e ficou algum tempo nesta Cidade, onde +fez severamente castigar os amotinadores.</p> + +<p>O Barão, que tinha a honra de ser particularmente conhecido deste +Principe, foi fazer-lhe sua Corte: elle foi de todos os prazeres deste +Soberano, e mesmo algumas vezes fazia partida com elle. Não havia algum +concerto, que o Imperador não fizesse executar por Musicos Italianos, que +trazia comsigo. Safira, celebre Cantarina, tinha tanto de espirito como de +talento: ainda moça, divertida, e espirituosa, bem depressa se apercebeo da +impressão, que sua voz, e seus encantos tinhão feito sobre o terno Nierkove; +elle esquece-se de suas protestações á terna Adriana; elle se abandona á sua +nova paixão, e só vivia para Safira. Elle corre a sua casa, lança-se a seus +pés, pinta-lhe seu ardor em termos os mais persuasivos, enche-a de seus +donativos: em fim, ouro, diamantes, festas, tudo foi prodigalizado. +Duvida-se bem qual dos dous foi o mais feliz. Quando se reunem os talentos, a +figura, a fortuna, e o nascimento, póde-se por ventura achar mulheres crueis, +principalmente no estado de Safira?</p> + +<p>O Barão só se occupava de sua felicidade (se della se póde gostar, quando +imprudentemente se faz desgraçada huma Esposa digna da mais viva ternura): +tal he a desordem do coração humano, quando elle se entrega a seus desejos, e +quando a razão o abandona.</p> + +<p>A triste Adriana não pôde conceber em seu Esposo huma mudança tão +repentina: ella estava muito bem persuadida de sua infidelidade: as +liberalidades do Barão já se tinhão notado, e a sua familiaridade com Safira +era publica a toda a Corte. A desafortunada Baroneza deixou ao tempo o +cuidado de fazer tornar a si este infiel: ella se persuadia que aquillo mesmo +que lhe tinha roubado seu Esposo, poderia da mesma sorte restituir-lho. Além +disto ella sabia que o unico meio de reganhar hum inconstante, era mostrar-se +ignorante de sua perfidia, servindo-se sómente de paciencia, e de doçura. As +reprehensões irritão; o silencio nos condemna, e nos faz entrar em nós +mesmos.</p> + +<p>Ella tomou pois este partido; e escreveo ao Barão dizendo-lhe, que se elle +tinha negocios na Corte, ella partia á sua Patria a tratar de seus +interesses; e que lá esperava noticias suas. Sem lembrança de resposta, ella +partio logo, penetrada de dôr, e desesperação. Ella adorava o Barão: sua +inconstancia a penetrou sensivelmente. O retiro em que ella vivia, longe de +extinguir seu amor, lhe deo pelo contrario novas forças. Sómente corações +sensiveis, que tem experimentado a mesma sorte que Adriana, podem julgar da +grandeza de seus males.</p> + +<p>O Barão, sempre encantado de sua querida Safira, parecia ter-se +inteiramente esquecido de Adriana: elle sobre isto nada fallava a seus +amigos; e ninguem da mesma sorte se atrevia a fallar-lhe: elle mesmo nunca +mais lhe escreveo. Sempre occupado de sua amante, não a deixava hum só +momento. Elle a retirou da comittiva do Imperador, que tinha partido para +Hespanha. Elle lhe procurou huma casa toda abundante; e prazeres sempre novos +prevenião continuadamente os desejos da galante Safira, ambos no meio das +delicias julgavão perpetua a sua felicidade!</p> + +<p>As pessoas de honra começárão a murmurar: ainda não era costume, e +principalmente em Flandres, vêr-se o escandalo sem desassocego. Quanto estes +tempos se tem mudado! Presentemente se faz consistir nisto mesmo a +fidelidade; ninguem se envergonha de tratar como respeitaveis estas uniões +criminosas quando ellas são duraveis: o crime applaudido goza hoje das +vantagens da virtude. A vida publica de Nierkove, e de Safira indispunha o +povo; e disto mesmo elles forão informados. O Barão para evitar tudo isto, +resoluto a ir estabelecer-se em Veneza, desfez-se de seus contratos, e de +suas terras, para fazer transportaveis todos os seus bens. Adriana, que não +ignorava o menor passo de seu marido, não pôde resistir a este ultimo golpe. +Transportada, de furor...</p> + +<p><em>Ingrato, exclama ella, he este o fructo do amor que em mim tens +experimentado. A perda de teus bens não he o que me afflige: liberaliza-os á +tua indigna, e vil Safira, porém restitue-me o teu coração. Torna a mim +querido, e cruel Esposo; meu amor te perdoa... Mas, que digo? O infiel vai +partir... Póde ser que elle se aparte de mim para sempre!... Não, perjuro!... +tu não me escaparás, eu saberei punir-te minha vingança fará tremer, servindo +de exemplo áquelles, que como tu, desprezão a ternura de huma Esposa +desafortunada... Eu tenho procurado todos os meios de te recuperar; o tempo, +meu silencio, minhas lagrimas, minha desesperação, não tem podido +abrandar-te... A morte só é... Que digo eu? Ai de mim!... Sim, sim, cruel, a +morte só vai unir-vos.</em></p> + +<p>Adriana escreveo logo a huma de suas amigas, e lhe pedio em hum escripto +separado que só abrisse sua carta, passados oito dias; porque ella continha +cousas de ultima importancia, que se devião ignorar até este tempo.. Ella fez +logo pôr grades em todas as janellas de seu aposento, e pregar nas portas +fechaduras occultas, cujo segredo só ella conhecia. No mesmo tempo dispoz +tudo de sorte que pudesse prosperar o terrivel projecto, que tinha meditado. +Quanto he para temer huma mulher justamente irritada! A desesperação occupa +toda a sua alma; a vingança a mais terrivel lhe parece suave; as maiores +extremidades meios ordinarios; e sua propria fraqueza parece dar-lhe todas as +forças.</p> + +<p>Tudo assim disposto, ella finge huma doença mortal: de huma mão tremula +ella escreve a seu Esposo: <em>Eu morro, e vos perdo-o. Eu não vos imputo a +minha morte, e rogo ao Ceo que vos inspire o arrependimento. Vós recebereis +todos os meus bens da mão de hum amigo commum, que delles será o depositario. +Eu não choro a vida; porque nem tenho filhos, nem Esposo, ai de mim! que me +pertenção. Poucas horas tenho já de vida; ao menos concedei-me a graça de vos +tornar a vêr a ultima vez. Vivei feliz, eu morro, e vos adoro.</em></p> + +<p>O desgraçado Barão cahio no laço, que era difficil evitar-se. Elle se +persuadio que não devia honradamente deixar de vêr sua mulher morrendo: este +passo lhe pareceo innocente, e a lembrança do deposito lhe facilitava o +meditado projecto de fugir com Safira. O interesse teve muito mais poder +sobre seu coração do que o amor. Safira, que não podia suspeitar a desgraça +de seu amante, o persuadio a que desse esta ultima consolação á Baronesa +espirando. Elle parte, e em poucos momentos elle chega á sua terra. A +tristeza, que elle vê espalhada entre toda a familia, moveo sua piedade. Hum +negro presentimento se apodera de seu coração, e sem poder dar conta de seu +transporte, elle entra tremendo na Camara de sua Esposa. As gentes, que á +vinda inesperada de Nierkove, tinhão ordem de se retirar, os deixão sós. A +furiosa Adriana fecha logo todas as portas. De repente, com os olhos +errantes, ella se levanta, e vai a seu gabinete pôr fogo, (sem que seu marido +disto se aperceba) a algumas materias combustiveis, que ella tinha preparado; +e logo torna, e se lança repentinamente sobre seu leito. O Barão aterrado +quer chamar soccorro, persuadindo-se que era isto effeito de transporte: +porém qual foi seu espanto quando elle vio de repente toda a casa em fogo. +<em>Treme, perjuro</em>, exclama Adriana, <em>e reconhece huma Esposa +ultrajada: já que tu não tens podido viver comigo, ingrato, ao menos poderás +morrer. A violencia da chamma, que vai a consumir-te, não igualará +jámais os fógos, que me tem abrazado por ti...</em> A estas palavras o fumo lhe +tira a respiração: o Barão sobresaltado debalde procura salvar-se. Bem +depressa a chamma sahe pelas janellas: correm a soccorrellos; arrombão-se as +portas; porém já he tarde: estes Esposos se achão prostrados, e já meios +consumidos.</p> + +<p>Os progressos deste incendio forão tão rápidos, que em pouco tempo todo o +edificio foi reduzido a cinzas. A noticia chegou logo a Gand: assentou-se que +este fogo tinha sido effeito da casualidade; porém a carta que Adriana tinha +escripto á Viscondessa Coppens, sua amiga, revelou este horrivel misterio. +Ella queria sem duvida deixar á posteridade hum tremendo exemplo da vingança +de huma mulher desesperada, e huma imagem terrivel do castigo de hum Esposo +perjuro, e querido.</p> +</div> + + + + + + + + +<pre> + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of O amor offendido, e vingado, by Unknown + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK O AMOR OFFENDIDO, E VINGADO *** + +***** This file should be named 28640-h.htm or 28640-h.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/8/6/4/28640/ + +Produced by Pedro Saborano.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
