Matilda

"While the fair Wanton put every invention of lust in practice, every refinement in the art of pleaure, which might heighten the bliss of her possession, and render her Lover's transports still more exquisite. Ambrosio rioted in delights till then unknown to him : Swift fled the night, and the Morning blushed to behold him still clasped in the embraces of Matilda." (Lewis 224)

"'I dared to perform those mystic rites, which summoned to my aid a fallen Angel. Judge what must have been my joy at discovering, that my terrors were imaginary : I saw the Daemon obedient to my orders; I saw him trembling at my frown, and found, that instead of selling my soul to a Master, my courage had purchased for myself a Slave.'"(Lewis 267-268)
