 MONTILLA AND ISIDORA. A SPANISH LEGENDARY TALE. On which the "Infernal Secret" is supposed to have been founded

MONTILLA with young Isidora the fair,

Discours'd in Antaldi's grand Hall ;

Mysterious his manner, terrific his air,

And the Donnas who eye'd him were heard to de-

clare,

That with him they'd not open the ball.

His dress it was sable, but pale was his cheek-

"Who is he? whence comes he ?" the cry;

But he sternly look'd on, too disdainful to speak.

Isidora alone did he constantly seek,

The rest he indignant passed by.
