Meantime weeks passed on, during which I daily grew more conscious of the frail tenure by which I held my happiness, as I felt my influence over my husband per- ceptibly declining. Trionfi loved me still 174 RECANTATION. but not as he had loved a short time be- fore ; and I felt the change most bitterly, nor could I perhaps altogether conceal that I did so. An Italian woman, expecting less, would have been more satisfied ; but I, a spoilt and petted child, whose every wish had been gratified, e...very thought anticipat- ed, looked for other than common-place attentions from one, whose vows of attach- ment had previously been so ardent. But woe to the woman who, blinded by the in- fluence of love and ambition, unites her fate to any man without ascertaining his religious principles ; for she stakes her happiness on earth nay, even her hopes of heaven for the sake of one who, living only for the world, sees no future beyond the grave, and to whom the solemn ties contracted at the altar seem but legislative fetters, to be cast aside as soon as the first impetuosity of passion has subsided !
