  Cy apres sensuit de camiole senense venue

  This image depicts Camiola, the daughter of Lawrence of Torringo, paying a ransom to release Roland of Sicily from prison. She felt sympathy for Roland of Sicily who was left to rot in a jail after a battle, so she paid for his ransom in exchange for his hand in marriage. Camiola is depicted wearing a red dress standing in front of Roland who is chained in a prison cell. There are two figures beside Camiola delivering the ransom money on behalf of her to the man dressed in red and black behind the city wall. Roland had agreed to marry Camiola, but when he was freed, he pretended as though he did not agree to marry her. She is famous for having proved herself in front of a judge and spoke out against her husband’s vile behaviour in rejecting her and his promise to her.

  De Harmonia: Siciliana: de linaje regal

  This engraving depicts a young servant girl getting stabbed in the chest with a sword by a man standing above her. This young servant girl is disguised to look exactly like Harmonia, the daughter of Gelon (brother to the king of Syracuse). Boccaccio explains that there was a rebellion in Syracuse against nobility, and before the murderers could get to Harmonia, her nurse disguised this young woman to look like Harmonia. The real Harmonia is depicted on the right side of the engraving. The creator engraved her name, written as Armonia, above her head to identify her. There is a man swinging a sword above his head which appears to be heading in Harmonia’s direction, however, Boccaccio explains that Harmonia hid from the murderers until they killed the look-alike servant.

  Argia pollinici coniuge et adrasti regis filia

  Argia, the daughter of King Adrastus of Argos is depicted on the right side of the engraving holding the body of her husband, King Polynices of Thebes. Boccaccio explains that Polynices had fought in a war against his brother Eteocles and died on the battlefield. Argia snuck herself onto the battlefield after the war to see her husband’s body. She is depicted holding his lifeless body and kissing him on the lips. Behind Polynices are the other men who had fought and died in this war. Boccaccio believes her to be praiseworthy as it took courage to risk her life in order to find her husband on the battlefield.

  Virginea Lucij volumnie coniuge

  Verginia, a noble Roman woman is depicted in this engraving in both the right and left scenes. Boccaccio explains that Verginia, despite being a noble woman, was cast out of a temple in Rome by the other noble patrician women due to her being married to a plebeian man. The right side of the engraving depicts Verginia at the altar with noble women surrounding her as they cast her out of the temple. The left side of the engraving looks similar to the right side; however, the left side depicts Verginia with plebeian women. After being cast out of the Patricia Pudicitia temple, Verginia created her own temple and altar named the Plebeia Pudicitia, and opened it up to the plebeian class.

  I went out and approached him, as he stood leaning over the little gate.

  Here we see Mr. Rivers and Jane Eyre standing near the gate of Moor House. Mr. Rivers tried to convince Jane to join him on a mission with the church to India, but she refused. He asked her to marry him before he left to go to India, but Jane refused, saying that she would never get married. He argued that missionary work was much more effective when a married couple went together, but Jane was uninterested. In this image, Jane says goodbye to Mr. Rivers before he left to go to India alone.
