"The Perjur'd Husband; or, The Adventures of Venice. A Tragedy" by Susanna Centlivre is a tragicomedy first performed and printed in 1700. Set during Venetian Carnival, the play follows Count Bassino, a married rake who pursues the betrothed Aurelia while his friend desperately tries to save his marriage.

a clever maid who outwits both her master and mistress through cunning schemes. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
