Show how the shipmaster's failed love story adheres to the ideals of romanticism.

The shipmaster adhered to the ideals of romanticism when he handed over the woman he'd arranged to marry, as well as the home he'd bought for them, to the man she was in love with.

My generous friend reassured the suppliant, and on being informed of the name of her lover, instantly abandoned his pursuit. He had already bought a farm with his money, on which he had designed to pass the remainder of his life; but he bestowed the whole on his rival, together with the remains of his prize-money to purchase stock, and then himself solicited the young woman's father to consent to her marriage with her lover.
