Quiteria Giving her Hand to Basilius
-
Description
-
Quiteria gives her hand in marriage to Basilius, who has faked his own suicide so that she may marry him instead Camacho out of pity for his plight. The priest oversees these vows, thinking that Basilius is on death's door and bestows upon them the nuptial benediction. The sword which Basilius used to fool everyone into thinking he had stabbed himself lies by his side next to his hat. Under this image is the caption "Basilius stabs himself, with mimic pain; Quiteria soon returns her heart again. A desperate lover always finds success; Fortune the Bold in all affairs will bless".
