DRAMATIS PERSON?.
DON GARCIA, _Prince of Navarre, in love with Elvira_.
[Footnote: In the inventory taken after Moli?re's death mention is made
of "Spanish dress, breeches, cloth cloak, and a satin doublet, the whole
adorned with silk embroideries." This is probably the dress in which
Moli?re played _Don Garcia_.]

the name of Don Silvio_.
DON ALVAREZ, _confidant of Don Garcia, in love with Eliza_.

prefer his love.
