CHAP.
I.
How
Richard
Cordelion
King
of
England
,
going
to
the
holy
Land
,
slew
Phillip
the
Prince
of
Austria
,
and
how
Don
Iohn
doomed
him
to
a
most
strange
punishment
,
and
of
his
wofull
lamentation
in
prison
.
WHen
the
true
spirits
of
illustrious
atchieuements
,
possest
the
Nobility
of
Europe
,
and
that
the
Babes
of
honour
,
fed
vpon
the
milke
of
Knightly
aduentures
,
here
raigned
in
England
,
a
royall
minded
King
,
named
Richard
Cordelion
,
a
Prince
replenished
with
the
commendable
reports
of
renowne
,
in
whose
gouernement
,
both
Armes
and
Art
flourished
,
warres
wrought
peace
,
and
peace
brought
happinesse
.
In
this
Kings
time
,
the
blessed
state
of
Gods
holy
City
of
Ierusalem
,
groaned
vnder
the
heauy
yoke
of
Paganisme
,
and
the
despised
Infidels
with
pride
and
tyranny
suppressed
all
her
royalties
,
for
recouery
whereof
,
all
Christendome
tooke
Armes
,
and
the
rumors
of
warre
wrathfully
thundered
in
all
our
Northerne
Nations
.
Fiue
Christian
Kings
,
(
vnder
the
bloody
standers
of
Godfrey
of
Bullin
,
)
(
that
imperious
Monarks
,
and
worthy
of
the
World
)
marched
.
Amongst
which
glorious
number
,
one
matchles
King
,
Richard
Plantaginet
,
was
too
aduenturous
forward
,
for
he
in
the
blooming
bud
of
his
youth
,
with
the
chiefest
Chiualry
of
England
,
cloathed
in
stéele
,
fired
with
fame
and
full
of
resolution
,
left
the
gouernment
of
his
kingdome
to
his
brother
Iohn
,
then
Duke
of
Ireland
,
and
arriued
in
Austria
,
the
méeting
place
of
these
Christian
Potentates
.
The
rest
of
this
Campe
royall
,
not
then
in
a
readinesse
,
according
to
the
customes
of
Princes
,
caused
King
Richard
to
request
entertainement
for
him
and
his
Knights
.
Don
Iohn
then
Duke
of
Austria
,
being
a
Prince
so
curteous
and
noble
,
that
he
could
doe
no
lesse
then
grant
it
.
Now
Fame
and
Fortune
in
King
Richards
thoughts
smiled
,
and
the
smooth
brow
of
wished
good
spéed
,
bad
him
and
his
hundred
Knights
welcome
.
A
hundred
he
had
as
then
for
his
guard
,
called
Knights
of
the
Bath
,
a
title
of
dignity
first
giuen
by
this
King
:
but
now
while
the
rest
of
his
Army
planted
their
standers
vpon
the
downes
adioining
to
the
Court
,
these
Knightly
Gallants
so
reuelled
in
the
Dukes
Pallace
,
that
well
were
they
that
could
purchase
their
fauours
,
and
highly
graced
were
all
such
as
had
but
the
smallest
imployment
of
an
English
Knight
.
So
amiable
,
pleasing
,
and
curteous
,
were
the
conditions
of
King
Richard
and
his
followers
,
so
truely
were
their
minds
deuoted
to
honour
,
that
they
euen
inforced
loue
from
all
estates
,
the
haughty
minded
of
their
own
accords
became
gentle
,
the
stubborne
nature
pliable
,
and
the
frowne
of
euery
English
brow
by
desert
challenged
both
cap
and
knée
,
Don
Iohn
himselfe
began
to
grow
disgracious
,
his
Subiects
wauering
,
alegiance
waxed
cold
,
and
none
but
the
name
of
English
Richard
merited
Fortunes
high
graces
:
All
Austria
estéemed
England
a
happy
Nation
,
by
nature
the
darling
of
vertue
,
and
the
only
hopes
of
Christendome
,
so
grealy
are
still
the
fauors
of
our
English
people
in
the
eies
of
forren
kingdoms
.
This
detracted
loue
of
his
subiects
did
not
a
little
displease
Don
Iohn
,
and
his
son
Prince
Phillip
,
and
no
little
enuy
by
it
were
bred
in
their
two
fired
breasts
,
that
nothing
could
quench
the
increasing
flame
therof
,
but
King
Richards
shame
and
confusion
.
Politicke
and
close
were
their
purposes
,
deadly
and
diuellish
their
intents
,
and
most
vnhumane
and
vnchristian
like
their
procéedings
,
the
law
of
Armes
was
quite
laid
aside
,
the
honor
of
Princes
forgotten
,
and
the
dignity
of
Knight
hood
vilely
abused
,
malice
,
and
wrath
,
the
champions
of
pale
death
hourely
possessed
their
two
hearts
,
with
a
secret
imagination
of
vengeance
,
plotted
against
the
life
of
royall
Richard
,
to
murther
by
violence
,
would
but
incurre
displeasures
of
forren
Nations
,
to
kill
innocents
offendeth
Heauen
,
and
to
betray
Princes
,
hath
rewards
in
hell
,
a
thousand
thousands
of
displeasing
motions
,
disquieted
their
discontented
mindes
,
dishonoured
as
they
thought
by
the
vertues
of
King
Richard
,
disgrace
boyling
in
her
greatest
heart
,
could
no
longer
be
suppressed
,
but
néeds
the
flames
of
fury
must
breake
forth
,
and
a
flattering
practise
of
reuengement
mollifie
their
intollerable
torments
,
and
in
this
manner
was
it
accomplished
.
Prince
Phillip
the
onely
sonne
and
heire
apparant
to
Don
Iohn
,
the
pride
and
hopes
of
Austria
,
in
whose
life
and
good
Fortune
consisteth
his
countries
honor
,
like
a
desperate
and
prodigall
gallant
,
in
a
dissembling
shape
of
friendship
,
challenged
King
Richard
at
a
Princely
turnament
,
and
in
the
knightly
games
of
tilting
,
personally
to
combat
hand
to
hand
,
the
English
King
in
the
Aprill
of
his
man-hood
,
nothing
inferior
in
prowesse
to
Prince
Phillip
,
hauing
the
sparkes
of
Maiesty
glowing
in
his
bosome
,
in
a
most
princely
manner
accepted
his
challenge
,
and
against
the
day
appointed
,
prouided
al
things
fitting
for
so
noble
an
enterprise
.
Time
with
his
lazy
wings
,
séemed
to
fly
too
slowly
,
and
to
crosse
the
forward
attempts
of
these
youthfull
combitants
,
each
minute
séemed
an
houre
,
each
houre
a
day
,
and
each
day
a
moneth
,
till
the
appointed
time
came
of
this
royall
turnament
,
so
bold
,
forward
,
and
illustrious
were
these
martialists
,
the
one
striuing
for
honor
,
the
other
for
reuenge
.
I
néed
not
here
speake
of
the
sumptuous
preparations
,
the
excéeding
charge
,
and
costly
habilliments
prouided
against
that
day
,
numberlesse
were
the
eye-witnesses
of
this
Court-like
pastime
,
ready
prepared
to
bid
them
welcome
with
a
gracious
applause
.
To
come
to
the
fulnesse
of
this
glory
,
the
day
approched
,
the
morning
Sunne
chéerefully
rose
with
a
bright
smile
,
the
christall
Skie
put
on
her
fairest
robe
,
and
the
moderate
aire
séemed
to
further
their
procéedings
,
all
things
by
nature
were
as
furtherers
to
summon
them
to
Armes
,
Don
Iohn
himselfe
attended
by
his
greatest
Nobility
,
sate
as
Vmpiers
in
the
case
,
and
each
Lady
with
a
prepared
eye
,
was
ready
to
censure
of
their
deserts
,
the
tilting
place
being
rayled
in
quadrangle-wise
,
round
about
beset
with
lofty
galleries
,
whereon
people
in
degrees
were
placed
in
such
multitudes
,
as
memory
it selfe
could
hardly
number
:
the
Sunne
beames
had
not
more
motes
by
imagination
,
then
this
theater
spectators
,
equally
wishing
good
fortune
to
them
both
,
bright
honors
sceane
being
ready
to
begin
,
the
Drums
and
Trumpets
gaue
warning
of
the
two
combitants
approch
,
in
such
a
melodious
manner
,
as
both
aire
and
earth
resounded
,
the
first
that
entered
the
listes
,
was
Prince
Phillip
in
a
black
caparison
,
his
horse
betrapt
with
sable
,
his
beuer
close
,
made
of
the
fashion
of
a
flying
Griffon
,
his
Launce
and
Scutchion
borne
before
him
by
a
naked
Indian
,
all
agréeable
to
his
blacke
desires
:
for
the
stéeled
point
of
his
Launce
,
and
the
kéen
edge
of
his
sword
,
were
both
impoisoned
;
his
motto
was
,
True
honour
hath
no
equall
.
Immediately
after
entered
Richard
of
England
,
mounted
vpon
a
Spanish
Gennet
,
as
milke
white
and
spotles
as
were
his
thoughts
,
his
Armor
bright
and
glistering
,
his
Helmet
of
the
fashion
of
a
sunne
sparkeling
fire
,
expressing
both
malice
and
mercy
.
Vpon
his
breast
he
had
the
honorable
red
crosse
of
England
,
platted
with
Arabian
silke
,
his
Motto
was
;
Honour
tainted
,
in
vaine
repented
.
Thus
all
things
in
readines
for
this
royall
turnament
,
the
chéerefull
reports
of
relentlesse
Drums
and
Trumpets
,
thundred
a
charge
,
whereupon
the
two
couragious
Princes
,
fired
with
resolution
,
so
fiercely
assailed
each
other
,
that
a
strange
admiration
of
their
man-hoods
possessed
all
the
beholders
.
The
old
Duke
Don
Iohn
himselfe
,
sitting
with
a
longing
desire
of
his
sonnes
victory
,
was
immediatly
discontented
wich
the
spight
of
Fortune
,
for
after
he
had
wounded
the
English
Prince
with
his
impoisoned
weapons
,
to
the
great
danger
of
life
,
couragious
Richard
expressing
his
Lion-like
nature
,
closed
Prince
Phillip
with
such
a
manly
power
,
that
with
his
heauy
courtelax
,
at
one
blow
he
broke
his
necke
:
Folly
it
were
to
resist
destiny
,
for
euen
at
that
instant
he
yéelded
vp
the
ghost
,
and
in
the
sight
of
his
old
father
imbraced
death
.
This
sudden
accident
aduanced
not
so
much
the
honours
of
King
Richard
,
as
it
setled
fury
in
Don
Iohns
heart
,
for
hauing
lost
the
hopes
of
his
Kingdome
,
his
onely
sonne
and
glory
of
his
age
,
like
a
man
desperate
of
all
good
fortune
,
ioy
,
and
consolation
,
he
raged
both
against
heauen
and
earth
,
blaspheming
his
Creator
,
swearing
both
by
God
and
the
world
,
that
the
treasures
of
Europe
should
not
redeeme
King
Richards
life
,
nor
the
vnknowne
treasures
of
the
déepe
Ocean
(
were
they
laid
at
his
féet
)
preserue
him
from
a
dishonourable
death
:
for
(
quoth
he
)
in
loosing
my
Sonne
,
the
sight
of
the
World
displeaseth
me
,
I
will
pine
in
griefe
,
I
will
famish
with
woe
,
I
will
liue
foodlesse
,
féeding
vpon
nothing
,
but
desires
of
vengeance
.
Assist
me
thou
spirit
of
destruction
,
that
in
wrath
I
may
confound
the
murtherer
of
my
sonne
,
in
whose
life
I
more
delighted
,
then
in
my
royall
crown
:
for
in
wanting
him
,
I
liue
as
a
forlorne
,
wofull
,
and
deposed
King
,
exild
and
banisht
from
this
worlds
royalty
:
my
second
soule
adores
the
smallest
drop
of
thy
déere
harts
blood
,
shal
be
quittanced
with
the
purple
goa●e
of
King
Richards
bosome
.
Hauing
spoken
these
,
or
such
like
wordes
,
he
commanded
the
Marshall
of
Austria
,
to
take
the
English
Prince
vnto
his
charge
,
and
to
kéepe
him
close
prisoner
in
a
square
Tower
of
Marble
stone
,
adioining
to
the
vttermost
part
of
his
Court
,
and
likewise
to
discharge
all
the
followers
of
his
Countrey
,
vpon
paine
of
death
not
any
one
of
them
to
bée
séen
in
his
territories
after
the
date
of
seuen
daies
.
All
which
according
to
the
angry
Dukes
command
,
was
by
the
Marshall
spéedily
accomplished
,
the
wofull
King
he
to
prison
,
and
his
sorrowfull
followers
to
their
natiue
countrey
,
where
his
loyall
Subiects
made
not
a
little
moane
for
his
hard
misfortunes
;
Don
Iohn
with
his
Nobility
mourned
as
grieuously
for
Prince
Phillip
,
whom
in
most
solemne
manner
they
enterred
in
a
Princely
Tombe
,
where
we
will
leaue
him
sleeping
in
peace
,
and
perseuere
in
this
our
wofull
History
.
King
Richard
hauing
now
neither
Crowne
,
Kingdome
,
nor
liberty
,
but
(
by
his
late
receiued
wounds
,
from
Prince
Phillips
poisoned
weapons
,
)
lay
bléeding
in
prison
,
to
his
liues
greatest
danger
,
and
being
destitute
of
friends
,
and
all
hopes
of
recouery
,
he
dolefully
breathed
out
this
lamentation
.
Oh
vniust
Fortune
(
said
hee
)
why
in
the
prime
of
youth
hast
thou
thus
deceiued
me
,
and
by
thy
flattering
promises
of
aduancement
thus
betraied
my
Knightly
aduentures
?
Those
blessed
warres
,
where
the
standard
of
Christ
by
their
incouraging
flourishes
,
makes
cowards
inconquerable
,
must
by
mee
bee
forsaken
,
and
my
vnhappy
daies
by
Don
Iohns
vnprincely
doome
,
haue
ending
,
sweat
with
teares
.
Oh
you
ingrateful
wals
,
that
with
your
pittilesse
bounds
claspes
in
a
royall
Prince
;
mercilesse
woe
like
a
cruell
tyrant
féedes
vpon
my
heart
,
and
the
sunne
shine
of
delightfull
consolation
is
now
for
euer
dimmed
with
the
blacke
cloudes
of
despaire
,
banisht
be
all
hopes
of
liberty
,
and
the
freedome
that
attends
on
Kings
,
is
curbed
with
the
base
pennance
of
captiuity
:
Farre
more
fortunate
is
the
humble
estate
of
the
Plow-mans
life
,
he
suffers
onely
the
crosse
of
priuate
disgraces
,
when
principalities
indure
the
generall
scandall
of
dishonour
,
wherein
Kingdomes
,
and
the
glory
of
Diadems
,
lose
their
illustrious
dignities
.
Where
are
now
all
my
courtly
traines
of
starre-bright
Nobility
,
my
attendant
followers
,
my
gardiants
,
and
humble
seruitors
,
my
pompous
state
,
roiall
banquetings
,
and
delightful
musicke
,
all
so
my
soules
eternall
griefe
,
now
vanished
,
and
conuerted
into
continuall
lamentations
:
no
fellowship
haue
I
to
comfort
me
,
but
discontent
,
sighes
,
and
melancholy
dispaire
:
Care
is
my
food
,
and
teares
my
drinke
,
nothing
but
the
imaginations
of
woe
,
intercepts
all
hopes
of
fréedome
.
Oh
vnhappy
England
,
thou
nurse
and
mother
of
my
life
,
dishonoured
in
thy
Kings
disgraces
,
and
made
most
miserable
by
this
iniurious
and
most
vnprincely
dealings
,
Heauen
I
hope
with
blacke
vengeance
,
deadlier
then
the
feare
of
hell
,
will
in
time
spie
out
a
most
dreadfull
quittance
,
written
in
the
bloody
brow
of
a
cursed
Austria
,
stained
with
inhumane
murther
of
a
King
,
whose
death
the
child
as
yet
vnborne
shall
rew
,
and
after
ages
shall
speake
off
:
pitty
my
distresses
thou
reuenger
of
mankind
,
that
my
soule
may
sléepe
in
peace
,
and
rest
in
that
blessed
mansion
prepared
for
Monarches
.
These
or
such
like
heart-breaking
complaints
being
breathed
from
his
grieued
bosome
,
the
paine
of
his
impoisoned
wounds
so
inraged
,
and
so
furiously
tormented
his
body
yet
bléeding
that
(
poore
King
,
)
he
fell
into
a
swound
,
liuelesse
,
and
breathles
,
sauing
a
little
panting
breath
moued
in
his
breast
,
a
signe
that
the
sparkes
of
life
were
not
quite
extinguished
.
But
now
,
euer
as
this
sudden
trance
assailed
King
Richard
,
there
entered
into
the
prison
the
Lord
Marshall
,
vnder
whose
charge
he
was
then
kept
,
where
when
to
his
great
amasement
he
beheld
as
he
supposed
,
the
King
bereft
of
life
,
hauing
a
mind
framed
of
a
noble
disposition
,
began
to
pitty
his
misfortunes
,
and
to
accuse
his
Lord
and
Master
of
iniustice
,
whereupon
according
to
his
gentle
nature
,
hee
dressed
his
wounds
with
a
precious
kind
of
balme

CHAP.
II.
How
the
two
English
Earles
of
Arundell
and
Oxford
,
disguisedly
comforted
King
Richard
in
prison
,
of
the
loue
betwixt
him
,
and
Clarabella
the
Dukes
daughter
;
how
he
how
hee
pulled
out
the
Lyons
heart
,
and
thereby
came
to
bee
called
Richard
Cordelion
,
and
of
other
accidents
.
ACcording
to
the
heauy
and
bitter
command
of
the
angry
Duke
,
(
in
reuenge
of
his
sonnes
death
,
)
the
Nobility
and
Knights
of
England
departed
Don
Iohns
Kingdome
,
leauing
the
wofull
King
in
prison
,
as
ashamed
of
so
haplesse
a
voiage
,
where
being
no
sooner
come
,
and
the
reports
thereof
bruted
in
the
eares
of
the
Earles
of
Arundell
and
Oxford
,
but
like
two
English
spirited
gallants
,
not
able
to
brooke
this
forraine
disgrace
,
they
resolutely
departed
England
,
protesting
either
to
bring
their
Soueraigne
Lord
safely
to
his
Kingdome
,
or
to
leaue
their
bodies
buried
in
Austria
:
that
blood
(
quoth
they
)
spent
in
the
honour
of
our
King
and
Countrey
,
is
the
sweet
sacrifice
of
Knight-hood
,
and
the
true
vermillion
colour
,
that
beautifies
the
rich
robes
of
honour
.
Thus
nobly
minded
,
they
with
all
speed
crossed
the
Seas
,
which
they
were
ioyfull
off
;
so
with
so
glorious
a
burthen
,
and
the
whisling
wind
,
proud
of
these
Princely
resolued
Gentlemen
,
louing
kind
,
and
loyall
,
set
open
their
gentle
portals
,
and
beyond
the
expectation
of
man
,
set
them
safely
vpon
the
costs
of
Austria
,
where
being
no
sooner
come
,
but
they
attired
themselues
in
the
disguised
habits
of
Fryers
,
the
most
secret
,
and
fittest
pollicy
to
attaine
the
wished
presence
of
their
imprisoned
King
,
and
by
that
meanes
thought
they
to
relieue
him
,
if
his
extremity
so
much
required
;
so
comming
to
the
prison
gate
in
a
professed
zeale
,
as
they
said
they
had
of
King
Richards
soules
health
:
they
desired
accesse
,
and
that
the
Lord
Marshall
would
admit
them
to
the
Kings
presence
,
who
being
a
man
of
a
curteous
nature
,
could
doe
no
lesse
then
grant
their
request
,
being
so
honest
and
vertuous
a
demand
.
Frowning
Fortune
beganne
now
a
little
to
smile
,
and
a
little
to
ease
his
languishing
sorrowes
:
for
no
sooner
had
his
gentle
eies
cast
their
dimme
sights
(
almost
blinded
with
teares
)
vpon
his
two
deare
friends
,
but
a
sudden
reioycing
hope
assailed
his
heart
,
and
like
a
royotous
heire
newly
possessing
his
patrimony
,
surfetted
in
pleasure
,
all
dispairing
passions
by
the
delightfull
presence
of
these
two
English
Earles
,
were
immediatly
conuerted
into
iollity
,
their
imbraces
were
as
the
closes
of
new
married
Damsels
,
where
the
extremity
of
ioy
so
swelled
in
their
bosomes
,
that
euen
their
eyes
distilled
teares
,
(
and
their
hearts
as
it
were
danced
.
)
These
two
supposed
Friers
had
no
other
Orisons
,
but
comfortable
reports
from
his
loyall
Subiects
in
England
:
their
Bookes
were
their
loues
,
and
their
Beades
their
fealties
.
Thus
in
this
secret
manner
vnsuspected
of
any
,
repaired
they
daily
to
this
distressed
King
,
expecting
hourely
his
liues
metamorphoses
,
either
of
liberty
or
death
:
Freedome
,
or
confusion
,
royalty
,
or
captiuity
:
in
which
wauering
doubt
,
while
these
three
subiects
of
sorrow
remained
,
the
displeased
Duke
(
still
harbouring
in
his
heart
blacke
malice
,
called
a
counsell
of
flattering
sicophants
,
such
as
be
still
the
attendants
of
Monarkes
,
where
against
both
the
law
of
Armes
and
Nations
,
it
was
decreed
that
King
Richard
should
combate
with
a
Lyon
,
which
if
he
ouercame
,
his
liberty
thereby
might
be
purchased
;
but
being
ouercome
,
he
should
endure
the
sharpe
punishment
of
this
mercilesse
beast
,
whose
greatest
fauour
were
but
death
:
vpon
which
pittilesse
doome
,
this
bloody
counse●l
concluded
,
and
thereupon
appointed
the
time
and
houre
,
to
the
extreame
griefe
of
many
thousadns
,
whose
whose
gentle
harts
euen
trembled
at
this
remorslesse
iudgement
.
But
now
marke
the
difference
in
nature
of
a
cruel
Father
,
and
a
kind
Child
;
the
Father
mercilesse
,
the
Child
mild
,
the
Father
proud
,
the
Child
humble
,
the
Father
vnreasonable
,
the
Child
reasonable
,
the
Father
cruell
,
the
Child
louing
,
betwixt
whom
tyranny
and
remorse
strous
for
superiority
:
for
Don
Iohn
bore
not
more
extreame
hate
against
the
English
King
,
then
his
daughter
faire
Clarabella
extended
loue
:
In
her
heart
partiall
Cupid
builded
his
Bower
,
and
pitty
with
his
smooth
countenance
,
sent
dumbe
messengers
to
the
distressed
King
,
which
were
modest
sighes
,
bashfully
sent
from
her
maiden-like
breast
,
fearing
to
offend
in
affecting
her
Fathers
enemy
:
yet
loue
,
which
hath
commanded
euen
the
Gods
themselues
,
and
still
blindly
leades
earthly
Monarkes
with
vnequall
affections
,
making
no
difference
betwixt
Kings
and
Beggars
,
so
ruled
the
desires
of
diuine
Clarabell
,
that
shée
wished
no
other
consolation
in
this
world
,
but
the
sacred
loue
of
English
Richard
;
whose
presence
(
if
shée
might
possesse
)
were
to
her
soule
as
the
pleasures
of
Paradice
:
duty
and
obedience
(
by
nature
her
Fathers
right
)
were
now
exchanged
into
desire
and
loue
;
the
Princely
behauiour
of
King
Richard
guided
her
thoughts
,
and
(
though
as
yet
vnknowne
to
him
)
intangled
her
loue-sicke
heart
in
the
toiles
of
Venus
,
wherein
was
no
hope
of
recouery
,
but
the
vniting
of
them
both
in
the
equality
of
desire
.
These
were
faire
Clarabels
discontents
,
which
as
an
vncurable
wound
,
dismembred
all
the
liuely
wishes
of
virginity
,
offending
onely
in
thought
,
and
with
the
chilling
feare
of
her
second
solues
destruction
,
by
the
terrible
censure
of
her
angry
Father
,
shée
grew
like
madde
Medea
,
lunaticke
and
distraught
,
expecting
the
sauage
murther
of
royall
Richard
,
shée
railed
both
at
Heauen
and
Earth
,
conspiring
thus
against
all
her
good
Fortunes
:
For
in
loosing
him
(
quoth
shée
)
the
bloome
of
my
maiden-head
withereth
,
and
I
am
like
to
pine
in
the
languishing
estate
of
misery
:
made
onely
miserable
by
the
Eagle
like
pitch
of
my
lofty
desires
.
In
this
manner
spent
shée
away
the
day
,
till
the
sable
Canopy
of
Heauen
couered
all
the
earth
,
a
time
of
silence
,
a
time
of
peace
and
rest
,
a
time
that
the
eyes
of
all
things
closeth
vp
:
yet
sléepe
(
the
comforter
of
distressed
minds
,
could
not
locke
vp
her
eyes
,
for
care
had
made
them
watchfull
,
griefe
and
distrust
like
two
dreadful
companions
waited
in
her
chamber
,
euery
idle
imagination
buzzed
in
her
cares
,
the
misaduenture
of
her
loue
,
fighting
with
all
the
misdoubts
of
desire
,
shée
consumed
away
the
slow
night
,
where
euery
minute
séemed
a
day
till
morning
came
,
and
then
like
a
carefull
bride
,
shée
cloathed
her selfe
in
her
richest
attire
,
and
by
the
Sunnes
rising
came
vnto
the
prison
,
where
shée
found
royall
Richard
vpon
his
Princely
knée
,
pleading
for
his
soules
saluation
,
preparing
himselfe
ready
for
his
Lion-like
combat
,
the
night
before
brought
to
the
Lord
Marshall
in
a
warrant
from
the
Dukes
counsel
.
Farewell
vaine
world
(
quoth
he
)
thy
flattering
pompe
hath
béene
to
me
,
as
water
bubbles
in
a
rainie
day
,
or
as
Aprill
showers
,
or
the
flourishes
of
Gardens
,
sudden
and
variable
.
Comfort
me
God
,
only
in
thy
power
is
my
deliuery
,
and
without
thy
assistance
,
this
day
is
like
to
be
my
doomes
day
,
and
the
last
day
of
all
my
liues
fortunes
.
At
these
words
faire
Clarabel
sunke
into
a
swound
,
and
so
abounded
in
griefe
,
that
her
sences
were
hardly
recouered
,
but
being
againe
come
to
her selfe
,
shée
fell
at
King
Richards
knée
,
and
in
a
most
milde
nature
,
spake
as
followeth
.
Most
imperious
Potentate
,
in
whose
happines
consisteth
my
liues
ioy
,
and
in
whose
welfare
my
glory
shineth
:
In
thée
thou
pride
of
manhood
,
haue
I
built
my
hopes
,
and
in
louing
thée
,
doo
I
purchase
my
fathers
frowne
,
the
Diademe
of
Austria
.
Now
my
right
and
patrimony
doe
I
vtterly
forsake
,
changing
all
my
natiue
honours
into
forraine
hopes
,
and
for
thy
sake
make
my selfe
a
stranger
to
my
countrey
;
euen
in
death
springs
my
loue
,
and
being
dead
,
all
earthly
loues
in
me
ends
:
Cast
me
not
off
in
disgrace
,
but
locke
my
true
heart
in
thy
Princely
bosome
,
there
kéepe
it
as
an
inestimable
Iewell
,
pure
,
vnspotted
,
and
vnstained
,
and
tender
as
the
budding
Rose
,
blasted
with
the
least
winde
of
thy
dislike
:
As
for
thy
liues
danger
(
swéet
Prince
)
feare
not
,
heauen
I
sée
with
a
smiling
countenance
,
promiseth
comfort
,
and
legions
of
Celestiall
Angels
stand
ready
armed
to
defend
thée
from
that
hunger-starued
Lyon
,
prepared
for
thy
liues
destruction
,
a
death
dishonourable
,
and
vnfit
for
so
royall
a
person
.
In
speaking
these
words
,
shée
tooke
a
gréene
scarfe
from
about
her
iuory
necke
,
and
gaue
it
to
King
Richard
,
saying
;
Take
this
(
swéet
Prince
)
as
the
maiden-like
promise
of
my
lo●e
and
remembrance
,
weare
it
for
my
sake
,
it
may
proue
thy
liues
preseruer
,
and
the
onely
instrument
to
glut
vp
the
Lyons
gréedy
Iaw
,
euen
at
that
deadly
minute
,
when
he
seaseth
vpon
thy
noble
body
.
Pardon
my
immodest
presumption
,
for
desire
and
loue
imboldens
me
,
and
all
my
maiden
like
bashfulnesse
is
abolished
,
by
the
delightfull
presence
of
thy
swéet
selfe
:
For
thée
,
and
for
thy
loue
,
haue
I
sold
all
my
royall
promotions
;
Then
equall
it
(
great
King
)
that
my
affection
bee
not
blasted
in
the
bloome
,
and
I
made
the
most
wofull
and
dispised
Lady
aliue
.
More
would
shée
haue
spoken
,
but
that
the
gentle
King
tooke
her
from
the
ground
,
(
yet
knéeling
)
and
with
the
delightfull
ioy
of
a
curteous
kisse
,
sealed
their
lippes
together
,
and
after
gratified
her
kindenesse
with
this
louing
discourse
.
Thou
faire
of
all
faires
,
thou
paragon
of
beauty
,
in
whose
countenance
(
I
sée
)
sits
inthronised
both
vertue
and
modesty
,
what
vndeserued
fauour
hath
true
iudging
Heauen
graced
me
with
,
in
that
thy
inspiring
loue
hath
eluminated
my
cloudy
Fortunes
,
now
scowling
with
a
dismall
countenance
?
Were
the
whole
world
mine
,
and
I
commander
of
Monarchies
,
yet
should
all
my
dignities
inrich
thee
,
and
my
powerfull
regalties
aduance
thee
to
the
imperiall
estate
of
all
earthly
graces
:
This
thy
kindnesse
hath
inchanted
me
,
rauisht
my
sences
,
eleuated
my
soule
,
and
of
an
earthly
substance
,
made
my
desires
immortall
.
Now
flie
I
with
the
wings
of
good
chance
,
which
nothing
can
clip
,
but
the
sharpe
sickle
of
despitefull
death
:
For
death
(
I
know
)
with
his
gasily
visage
,
walkes
here
inuisibly
,
with
his
tirannous
command
,
ready
to
seaze
vpon
me
:
now
is
the
houre
of
my
liues
aduenture
,
and
the
minute
of
that
fearefull
iudgement
to
be
put
in
practise
,
to
the
appeasing
of
Prince
Phillips
angry
ghost
.
At
this
word
speaking
,
came
in
the
Lord
Marshall
with
an
armed
guard
,
hauing
a
commission
to
conduct
King
Richard
,
to
a
square
Court
walled
round
:
wherein
was
a
Shée-Lionesse
newly
bereaued
of
her
Whelps
,
to
make
her
the
more
mankind
:
about
which
Court
sat
the
Duke
and
his
Barrons
in
a
gallery
,
to
behold
this
vnnaturall
tradegy
:
vnto
which
place
being
come
,
attended
on
a
farre
off
,
by
the
Princesse
Clarabell
,
who
with
teares
and
sighes
did
not
a
little
solicet
heauen
for
his
strengthner
:
all
which
forced
pitty
from
the
hearts
of
his
enemies
,
and
might
haue
mollified
euen
Tygers
to
relent
.
The
two
English
Earles
of
Arundell
and
Oxford
,
his
approued
friends
in
misery
:
High
spirited
,
and
full
of
resolution
,
attended
as
before
in
their
Friers
habits
,
feeding
him
(
as
the
beholders
supposed
)
with
the
food
of
diuine
counsels
:
but
indéed
with
the
animation
of
courage
imbouldening
him
to
take
his
fortunes
patiently
,
and
to
thinke
of
the
honour
of
his
Countrey
,
by
whose
death
England
was
widdowed
,
and
his
subiects
made
Kinglesse
.
These
motions
of
incouragement
,
bred
in
his
manly
heart
an
inconquerable
strength
,
committing
his
life
to
the
disposing
of
fate
:
He
stripped
himselfe
from
all
Court-like
habiliments
,
and
in
his
cambricke
shirt
,
with
faire
Clarabels
scarfe
wrapped
about
his
arme
,
he
stood
prepared
for
the
entertainement
of
the
remorslesse
Lyon
,
which
at
the
sound
of
a
Trumpet
was
let
loose
,
whose
roares
were
as
thunder
from
the
clouds
,
and
in
whose
grim
visage
sat
the
fearefull
president
of
destruction
;
heart-breaking
afflictions
possest
all
his
well
willers
,
and
the
quiuering
feare
of
his
confusion
assailed
euery
gentle
eye
,
excepting
Don
Iohn
and
his
associats
.
To
bee
short
,
the
Lyon
like
the
galfe
of
burning
Acharon
▪
gaped
to
receiue
the
royal
body
of
King
Richard
,
who
neither
fearing
death
,
nor
the
threatnings
of
tyranny
,
with
an
vnknowne
courage
,
he
most
valiantly
thrust
his
arme
(
wrapped
about
with
faire
Clarabels
silke
scarfe
)
into
the
gaping
iawes
of
the
ouer-furious
Lyonesse
,
and
by
the
force
of
his
manhood
to
are
out
his
sauage
heart
,
(
yet
leaping
warme
in
his
hand
)
and
threw
it
at
Don
Iohns
face
,
saying
;
Take
that
thou
monster
of
humanity
,
thou
vnprincely
Potentate
,
heauen
thou
séest
hath
defended
me
,
to
the
wonder
of
ages
,
and
thy
vile
disgraces
.
Generall
was
the
applause
,
the
intollerable
vexation
of
the
wrathfull
Duke
,
who
like
an
vntamed
Panthar
,
rose
from
his
seat
,
and
in
great
wrath
departed
.
King
Richard
séeing
the
Lionesse

amasement
of
all
the
beholders
,
yéelded
the
glory
of
this
victory
to
the
all-seeing
praises
of
Heauen
.
No
little
ioy
had
the
two
English
Earles
at
this
lucky
successe●
,
but
espe●ially
the
heart
of
diuine
Clarabell
danced
in
delights
.
Neuer
had
Lady
the
like
cause
of
content
,
nor
neuer
Lady
more
bound
to
thanke
the
Almighty
powers
of
heauen
.
The
relieued
King
,
as
the
ignorant
Lambe
newly
escaped
from
the
bloody
fury
of
the
Wolie
,
with
a
countenance
of
a
crimson
blush
,
declared
the
like
gladnesse
,
and
in
most
kinde
manner
cast
the
reflecting
beames
of
his
eyes
toward
Clarabell
,
that
shee
well
perceiued
his
curteous
thoughts
,
and
that
gratefull
thankes
harboured
in
his
Princely
heart
After
the
Dukes
departure
,
the
whole
company
soone
broke
off
,
bearing
a
secret
fauour
to
the
English
King
,
who
by
faire
Clarabell
,
the
Earles
of
Arundell
and
Oxford
,
with
some
few
other
attendants
of
England
,
conducted
him
to
a
priuate
chamber
,
where
after
some
refreshing
repast
,
they
prepared
for
England
,
but
not
meaning
discourteously
to
leaue
faire
Clarabell
behind
,
caused
her
to
be
attired
in
the
habit
of
a
Court
Page
,
in
a
sute
of
watched
coloured
veluet
,
to
signifie
the
trunesse
of
her
loue
,
(
for
his
sake
)
in
refusing
both
Countrey
,
Parents
,
and
Kindred
,
and
in
this
sort
to
become
estranged
from
al
her
acquaintance
.
Such
an
imperious
God
is
loue
,
and
so
commanding
.
The
next
day
,
vnknowne
of
any
of
the
Dukes
Court
,
but
the
Lord
Marshall
,
who
assisted
them
in
all
their
procéedings
,
they
tooke
leaue
of
Austria
,
and
iournied
toward
England
,
where
by
the
way
King
Richard
and
faire
Clarabell
,
so
secretly
closed
in
affections
,
that
her
blooming
bud
of
virginity
was
cropt
,
and
the
quittance
of
his
loue-stroake
sealed
in
her
wombe
,
a
condition
of
such
content
,
as
both
pleasure
and
desires
pleased
each
party
.
Clarabell
in
her
Pages

séemed

Neuer
had
Paris
the
Troyan
Prince
,
a
greater
conquest
in
the
loue
of
faire
Helena
,
then
royall
King
Richard
,
of
his
admired
Clarabell
.
Nature
in
her
greatest
pride
,
framed
this
beautifull
Lady
,
as
then
the
onely
miracle
of
woman
kind
,
he
muses
in
her
praises
may
write
eternally
.
and
those
lasting
reports
which
aduanced
so
many
Grecian
dames
,
may
now
tell
,
and
foreuer
speake
off
the
super-abounding
graces
of
this
faire
Lady
,
that
like
vnto
that
Angell-faced
Rosamond
,
wrought
wonders
in
all
eyes
.
No
other
comforts
could
possesse
the
Kings
fancy
,
but
this
celestiall
Lady
,
Europes
admiration
,
and
the
worlds
glory
.
In
this
rau●shing
content
spent
they
the
time
away
,
till
happy
Fortune
se●
them
safely
vpon
the
shores
of
England
,
whose
swéet
sight
was
as
ioyf●ll
to
them
all
,
as
the
returne
of
banisht
exiles
to
their
w●shed
dwellings
.
This
ioyfull
day
of
their
arriuall
in
England
,
was
by
the
King
and
his
Counsell
canonized
for
a
holy
day
,
being
the
third
of
March
,
and
to
thi●
time
called
Saint
Richard
〈◊〉
our
English
Almanacks
can
yet
testifie
.
King
Richard
hauing
againe
taken
possession
of
his
Kingdome
,
and
imperiall
dignity
,
first
gracing
his
two
déere
friend
of
A●undell
and
Oxfor●
,
●o●th
commendable
ad●●ancement
for
their
loues
and
loyaltie●
,
then
preparing
in
his
City
of
London
a
royall
lodging
●o●
his
faire
loue
,
néere
vnto
Cheape-side
,
called
his
Tower
Royall
,
Men
royall
(
as
he
said
)
in
harbouring
so
faire
a
Paramour
,
as
was
diuine
Clarabell
:
In
this
place
repaired
he
full
often
vnto
her
,
and
tasted
of
those
delights
in
nature
,
spotting
her
name
with
the
title
of
a
Kings
Concubine
.
Long
was
he
lulled
in
the
cradle
of
pleasures
,
carelesse
of
honours
aduancement
,
neglecting
his
countries
fame
:
knightly
Chiualry
was
conuerted
to
courtly
dances
,
the
lullabies
of
idle
pastimes
rockt
him
asléepe
,
till
the
disgraces
of
England
(
receiued
by
his
late
imprisonment
)
awaked
him
,
and
called
to
armes
:
Then
rowsing
vp
his
Knightly
courage
,
like
Fames
darling
(
being
set
amongst
his
Barrons
)
he
said
as
followeth
.
Now
Fire
and
Sword
,
the
two
instruments
of
consuming
warre
,
shall
forrage
Austria
,
and
by
the
Kingdomes
ruine
,
worke
me
a
swéet
reuenge
.
My
wrongs
there
receiued
by
the
vniust
decrées
of
Don
Iohn
,
shall
be
quittanced
with
more
then
common
spoiles
,
his
Court
shall
swim
in
blood
,
his
turrets
flame
in
fire
,
heaps
of
mangled
men
,
choake
vp
his
stréetes
,
woe
vpon
woe
,
shall
beset
him
round
.
Troy
in
her
ten
yéeres
warres
did
not
endure
more
calamities
then
Austria
shall
shortly
suffer
.
These
and
such
like
high
spirited
spéeches
,
did
King
Richard
speake
amongst
his
Lords
,
to
the
great
incouragement
of
them
all
,
and
so
fired
their
lusty
bloods
,
that
well
were
they
that
could
the
most
gallantliest
set
forth
themselues
,
and
be
the
most
forwardest
in
his
noble
enterprise
.
So
desirous
were
all
estates
,
and
so
willing
in
this
noble
warre
,
that
in
lesse
then
twenty
daies
the
King
was
the
royall
Generall
of
fifty
thousand
Souldiers
,
all
prouided
so
manfully
,
as
if
they
had
gone
to
make
a
new
conquest
of
Ierusalem
.
In
which
honourable
iourney
we
will
leaue
him
,
and
also
the
preparation
that
Don
Iohn
made
to
withstand
him
,
and
his
army
,
and
speake
of
the
birth
of
Faukonbridge
,
borne
and
kept
secretly
in
King
Richards
Tower
royall

with
many
other
strange
euents

happened
in

birth

Princely
babe

CHAP.
III.
Of
the
birth
of
Faukonbridge
,
and
how
he
came
to
be
so
named
:
and
likewise
how
he
was
nursed
by
the
Queene
of
Fairies
.
Faire
Clarabels
lamentation
for
the
losse
of
her
young
sonne
,
and
of
other
accidents
.
TIme
the
conclusion
of
all
euents
,
brought
to
the
worlds
eye
,
the
springing
wombe
of
Clarabell
,
and
néerely
tenne
Moones
had
now
wandred
out
their
wained
courses
,
when
as
therein
King
Richards
royall
fruit
began
to
grow
ripe
and
ready
to
fall
,
against
which
ioyfull
houre
,
the
carefull
Lady
spared
for
no
cost
,
and
with
her
déere
relenting
heart
solicited
heauen
for
a
happy
deliuerie
,
the
onely
desire
of
all
weomen
.
I
will
not
speake
of
the
tender
natured
Nurses
,
the
diligent
Midwiues
,
nor
the
rich
furniture
prouided
against
that
time
:
néedlesse
it
were
to
report
the
sumptuousnesse
of
banqueting
dishes
,
nor
the
variety
of
seruices
belonging
to
so
noble
a
businesse
,
most
honourable
and
gracious
were
all
the
procéedings
of
this
her
Christian-like
child-birth
,
not
any
displeasing
obiect
hindered
her
content
,
nor
any
way
disquieted
her
mind
,
but
onely
the
want
of
her
beloued
,
whose
presence
in
her
eye
had
béene
more
delightsome
then
the
pleasures
of
Elizeum
:
Little
supposed
shée
that
King
Richard
had
taken
armes
against
her
Father
,
the
successe
whereof
would
haue
but
bred
a
strise
betwixt
loue
and
nature
:
For
nature
in
reason
tooke
her
Fathers
part
,
when
as
loue
leaned
to
her
Lord
,
yet
shrowded
were
all
imaginations
in
the
closet
of
secretnesse
,
and
she
least
report
thereof
sounded
in
her
eares
.
Vnknowne
were
all
these
procéedings
:
For
King
Richard
at
his
departure
gaue
commandement
not
to
reueale
them
,
till
heauen
had
brought
light
to
the
fruit
of
her
body
.
To
be
short
,
the
minute
approched
of
the
Babes
comming
into
the
World
,
a
sweet
tender
blossome
,
a
most
ioyfull
wish
for
the
pained
Mother
,
who
being
borne
,
was
to
the
beholders
an
excellent
péece
of
natures
worke-manship
,
vpon
whose
Infant
brow
sat
the
promises
of
good
Fortune
.
After
the
Midwife
(
according
to
her
manner
)
had
trimmed
vp
the
swéet
Babe
,
and
shewed
him
naked
(
to
the
other
weomen
her
associats
)
being
a
man
child
,
vpon
his
breast
it
had
the
picture
of
a
golden
Faulkon
,
soaring
ouer
a
most
dangerous
bridge
,
the
which
being
shewed
as
a
wonder
in
nature
,
the
honorable
Ladies
in
the
Kings
Court
,
by
whose
meanes
it
was
generally
reported
through
the
Land
,
and
after
called
in
Christendome
,
by
the
name
of
George
Lord
Faukonbridge
:
A
title
fitting
for
so
noble
an
Impe
of
vertue
,
being
descended
from
so
royall
a
stocke
(
as
was
King
Richard
and
faire
Clarabell
.
)
But
to
come
to
our
purpose
,
before
one
moneth
had
run
out
thirty
dayes
,
to
the
more
then
common
griefe
of
the
mother
,
the
tender
Infant
lying
in
his
cradle
,
attended
on
by
thrée
carefull
nurses
,
euen
at
the
middle
houre
of
the
night
,
when
the
siluer
Moone
in
her
greatest
glory
danced
on
the
christall
Seas
,
euen
at
that
silent
houre
when
the
God
of
Dreames
gouerned
the
World
,
there
was
heard
in
the
chamber
such
a
melodious
sound
of
Musicke
,
as
if
it
had
béene
the
harmony
of
Angels
,
or
the
singing
Cherubins
of
Heauen
,
which
in
a
bewitching
manner
so
inchanted
the
wakefull
Nurses
,
that
their
eyes
closed
,
and
their
sences
yéelded
to
sound
sléepes
.
In
this
still
time
of
silence
,
came
in
the
Quéene
of
Fairies
,
with
a
troupe
of
her
inuisible
attendants
,
being
the
pretty
dancing
Elues
of
an
vnknowne
Kingdome
,
and
stoale
away
young
Faukonbridge
out
of
his
Princely
cradle
:
whose
misse
(
at
his
Nurses
waking
)
bred
such
an
amasement
amongst
them
,
as
almost
procured
lunasie
,
and
forced
them
(
like
Bacchus
froes
)
to
runne
madding
vp
and
downe
,
not
knowing
in
what
manner
to
answere
this
their
negligence
:
But
yet
this
griefe
of
thiers
,
was
but
the
induction
to
the
true
maze
of
calamity
:
the
wofull
mother
(
vnhappy
Clarabell
)
made
haplesse
,
miserable
,
and
most
wofull
,
by
the
losse
of
this
her
swéet
Babe
:
this
déere
collop
of
her
own
flesh
,
being
so
déerely
fed
with
her
owne
blood
,
forty
wéekes
cherisht
in
the
Closet
of
her
wombe
,
and
euen
now
(
contrary
to
all
expectation
)
by
the
losse
of
it
,
to
be
bereaued
of
all
worldly
consolation
.
Oh
thou
vniust
guider
of
mans
life
(
quoth
shée
)
what
secret
sinnes
haue
I
committed
against
thy
commanding
deity
?
what
blake
offence
hath
now
dimmed
the
cléere
beames
of
mercy
,
that
her
eluminating
glory
is
thus
with-holden
from
me
?
Why
had
it
not
béene
strangled
in
my
wombe
,
and
made
Deaths
sacrifice
before
it
had
saluted
the
Worlds
eye
?
then
for
the
want
thereof
had
I
not
thus
mourned
,
nor
the
title
of
a
mother
thus
vnhappily
wrought
my
hearts
discontent
.
Wéepe
eternally
(
oh
mine
eyes
)
till
you
grow
blind
with
lamentations
;
breake
heart
with
swelling
sobbes
,
split
and
burst
asunder
:
Nothing
but
motions
of
crosse
chances
intercepts
my
imaginations
,
consuming
sorrow
(
like
a
wasting
tyrant
)
reuels
in
my
distresses
:
Not
any
comfortable
thought
will
in
mercy
seaze
vpon
my
soule
,
pitty
is
fled
,
remorse
banished
,
and
gentle
relenting
passions
,
workes
wonders
in
my
griefe-tired
heart
.
Now
this
sudden
losse
of
her
young
sonne
,
gaue
her
an
occasion
to
desire
the
presence
of
King
Richard
,
that
in
his
company
shée
might
a
little
ease
her
sobbing
bosome
,
and
that
an
equall
partition
of
griefe
might
be
made
betwixt
them
,
considering
halfe
of
mischances
spight
belonged
to
him
,
being
the
Father
,
and
begetter
of
this
blooming
Faukonbridge
:
But
when
shée
had
intelligence
of
his
departure
for
Austria
,
and
of
his
reuenge
pretended
against
her
Fathers
Country
,
and
her
natiue
soile
,
and
birthplace
,
a
sorrow
beyond
humane
imagination
assailed
her
heart
,
and
a
griefe
(
beyond
the
misery
of
Hecuba
Quéene
of
Troy
,
hauing
lost
one
and
twenty
sonnes
)
seazed
vpon
her
soule
:
words
were
not
sufficient
,
teares
of
no
force
,
sighes
sobbing
in
blood
,
could
not
reueale
the
least
part
of
her
bitter
anguish
:
All
the
tongues
that
euer
spake
,
all
the
pens
that
euer
writ
,
nor
all
the
bookes
that
euer
was
,
could
more
tell
,
write
,
or
containe
,
the
true
manner
of
the
disquietnes
of
this
sorrowfull
Lady
,
the
true
patterne
of
griefe
sat
heauily
vpon
her
cloudy
brow
,
and
her
eyes
sparkeled
as
it
were
streames
of
afflictions
,
day
and
night
spent
shée
comfortlesse
away
,
food
was
as
poyson
to
her
body
,
sléepe
as
strange
company
,
loathsome
:
solitary
silence
wrought
her
the
best
case
:
nothing
but
idle
visions
of
discontent
appeared
before
her
:
sometime
shée
supposed
that
grim-fast
death
with
legions
of
wormes
sat
deuouring
the
tender
body
of
her
yong
bade
:
Sometime
againe
,
shée
imagined
that
an
army
of
Angels
conducted
the
pretty
Impe
into
the
blessed
kingdome
of
heauen
:
by
and
by
againe
,
that
wilde
beasts
and
rauing
Foules
,
banquetted
with
his
tender
limbes
:
one
while
shée
thought
it
lay
staruing
in
the
fields
frozen
to
death
with
cold
,
another
while
parched
with
the
beames
of
the
hot
Sunne
:
A
thousand
doubts
had
shée
of
the
misaduenture
of
this
yong
babe
,
beléeuing
neuer
to
sée
it
more
,
but
that
the
doomes
day
of
his
liues
ending
had
concluded
all
his
Fortunes
.
Vpon
which
resolution
,
shée
exempled
her selfe
from
the
company
of
all
people
,
excepting
one
ancient
Gentlewoman
,
that
daily
attended
in
her
Chamber
,
which
brought
her
such
necessaries
as
sufficed
nature
,
where
like
the
picture
of
woe
,
vnbrast
,
and
disrobde
of
all
Lady-like
attires
,
with
disheuelled
haire
hanging
downe
to
the
earth
,
we
will
leaue
her
in
this
her
Tower-royall
,
so
called
by
the
reason
of
her
royall
beauty
,
to
the
bitternesse
of
lamentations
,
fitting
so
sorrowfull
a
Princesse
,
and
speake
of
the
fearefull
Fortunes
,
that
the
three
nurses
had
.
After
young
Faukonbridge
was
in
the
possession
of
the
faire
Queene
,
the
eldest
of
these
vnhappy
nurses
,
was
a
widdowed
Lady
of
the
Court
,
of
a
cleere
complexion
,
faire
and
beautifull
,
whose
face
declared
the
lamentable
shew
of
discontent
.
Poore
sorrowfull
soule
,
after
the
young
Infant
was
thus
taken
away
,
not
knowing
by
what
meanes
,
nor
by
whom
,
considering
this
her
negligent
care
prooued
a
scandall
to
her
reputation
,
shee
exempted
her selfe
wilfully
from
the
society
of
people
,
and
gaue
her selfe
to
trauell
,
protesting
by
the
sacred
Maiesty
of
Heauen
,
to
leaue
no
kingdome
vnsearcht
,
nor
no
nation
vnseene
into
,
till
shee
had
found
out
young
Faukonbridge
,
and
brought
him
againe
safely
vnto
his
carefull
mother
.
The
second
of
these
wofull
nurses
,
being
a
rich
London
Merchants
wife
,
in
like
manner
(
in
pennance
for
this
her
negligence
)
put
her selfe
vnto
a
heauy
taske
,
which
was
,
to
refuse
all
the
ioyes
of
marriage
,
not
to
take
the
fruition
of
her
husbands
loue
,
not
to
sléep
vppon
downy
beds
,
but
to
rest
her selfe
vpon
the
hard
ground
,
making
the
dusty
earth
her
pillow
,
where
sighes
and
sobbes
were
her
only
companions
,
care
her
chamberlaine
,
and
griefe
her
gardian
,
not
any
motion
of
delight
could
any
more
seaze
vpon
her
heart
,
but
all
her
meditations
were
still
made
vppon
the
wished
returne
of
young
Faukonbridge
.
The
third
and
last
,
but
not
the
least
woful
of
these
grieued
nurses
,
was
a
plaine
,
wholsome
natured
countrey-woman
,
of
a
complexion
like
vnto
the
Shepheards
of
Idea
Mountaines
,
neuer
more
fairer
were
the
tripping
Nimphes
of
Diana
,
sporting
vpon
Cipresse
bankes
,
nor
neuer
did
nature
frame
woman
more
beautiful
:
vpon
her
●héekes
the
lilly
and
the
rose
stroue
for
supremacy
,
and
the
Vermillion
blush
of
her
beauty
wrought
desire
in
all
eyes
,
euen
loue
himselfe
danced
in
her
countenance
,
yet
all
these
rich
gifts
of
nature
,
were
quite
blemisht
by
the
sudden
fright
taken
at
the
losse
of
this
tender
babe
,
whose
absence
was
as
the
bitter
doome
of
death
,
and
transformed
all
her
wonted
graces
into
pale
feare
,
her
face
by
it
was
changed
into
the
shape
of
an
ashy
visage
,
or
the
wan
countenance
of
a
long
dead
body
,
all
earthly
consolation
ended
,
no
hope
had
shée
of
her
former
ioy
;
dispaire
,
blacke
melancholy
,
deadly
houres
,
and
vnlucky
thoughts
harboured
in
her
pensiue
bosome
,
and
by
the
losse
of
that
sweete
Infant
,
(
at
whose
birth
euen
the
Muses
danced
,
)
all
following
good
Fortune
(
was
quite
from
this
Nurse
exiled
:
)
and
as
a
punishment
therefore
,
for
her
negligence
,
shée
promised
by
a
solemne
vow
made
secretly
with
her
owne
heart
,
neuer
to
tast
other
foode
,
but
rootes
,
hearbes
,
and
such
things
as
grew
in
the
desart
woodes
,
nor
neuer
to
drinke
other
liquour
but
cleere
water
,
taken
from
running
riuers
,
her
companions
were
siluaine
beasts
,
and
foules
of
the
aire
,
which
in
their
natures
séemed
to
assist
her
in
this
her
languishing
life
:
long
liued
shée
,
with
the
rest
of
her
wofull
partners
,
making
their
daily
orazons
for
the
swéet
returne
of
this
royall
babe
,
for
whom
the
whole
land
in
great
sorrow
mourned
,
whom
we
will
leaue
till
another
time
,
and
perseuer
in
these
following
euents
that
happened
to
King
Richard
,

wading
in
Austria
through
Seas

CHAP.
IIII.
A
wofull
report
of
King
Richards
death
.
Of
faire
Clarabels
lamentation
for
the
same
.
Of
her
grieuous
punishment
by
famine
,
and
of
other
accidents
.
AFter
some
little
ease
,
like
the
swéet
returne
of
some
long
absent
friend
,
had
mittigated
the
inward
sorrowes
of
faire
Clarabell
,
and
that
a
little
the
remembrance
of
her
Infants
losse
,
some-what
ceased
her
former
laments
,
thinking
to
cheere
her
sad
heart
with
infusing
delights
,
that
shée
hoped
to
enioy
by
the
swéet
presence
of
King
Richard
,
wishing
hourely
his
company
,
little
dreaming
of
his
departure
for
Austria
,
but
that
he
reuealed
in
his
owne
Court
,
to
her
great
ioy
,
and
his
owne
renowne
,
that
at
his
first
arriuall
into
her
presence
,
they
might
like
Mars
and
Venus
surfet
in
delight
,
or
like
Paris
with
his
Helena
,
seale
vp
the
true
quittances
of
desire
,
but
all
was
not
as
shée
wished
;
for
her
hearts
beloued
,
King
Richard
,
flourished
in
the
royalties
of
Belonaes
battels
,
wading
in
blood
,
and
mounted
vpon
his
vndaunted
courser
,
treading
vpon
mangled
men
,
and
marching
after
the
cheerefull
melody
of
warre
.
Which
when
the
poore
distressed
Lady
hard
off
,
like
a
condemned
exile
,
banished
from
all
solace
,
shée
exclaimed
against
cruell
desteny
,
reuiling
the
angry
Quéene
of
chance
,
accounting
all
her
hopes
ominous
,
and
her selfe
the
onely
patterne
of
misfortunes
.
Oh
(
quoth
shée
)
what
vnlucky
planet
predominated
my
birth
?
why
was
I
borne
to
these
miseries
?
I
liue
destitute
of
friends
in
an
vnknowne
kingdome
,
dishonoured
with
the
title
of
a
Curtizan
,
a
pointing
marke
for
vertuous
Ladies
,
a
staine
of
woman-hood
.
Oh
why
was
I
borne
to
commit
so
foule
a
sinne
,
that
blemisheth
the
glory
of
all
Princes
?
Oh
vnkind
King
Richard
,
now
I
sée
thou
heapest
vpon
my
backe
a
second
misery
,
as
thou
hast
disrobed
me
of
virginity
,
making
me
neither
wife
,
widow
,
nor
maide
:
so
wilt
thou
orphane
me
,
and
intitle
me
by
the
name
of
a
parentlesse
child
:
Woe
vpon
woe
I
sée
pursues
me
,
calamity
,
discontent
,
sorrow
,
despaire
,
yea
,
and
all
the
miseries
that
euer
haplesse
woman
indured
,
now
like
whirle-winds
,
or
tempestuous
gusts
,
tumbles
my
care
kild
heart
into
the
gulfe
of
vnpitied
afflictions
;
be
iust
thou
punisher
of
blacke
trespasses
,
for
my
skarlet
sinnes
knocke
at
Heauen
gates
for
reuenge
,
and
my
desert
excéedeth
Tarpies
that
sold
Rome
,
or
the
daughter
of
Ninus
that
betraied
her
fathers
kingdome
:
for
euen
as
the
Viper
I
féed
vpon
my
Parents
woe
,
and
as
the
curse
of
nature
,
haue
gloried
in
disobedience
,
what
good
fortune
can
I
challenge
at
the
hand
of
destiny
,
in
louing
my
fathers
foe
?
yéelding
that
vnrecouered
iem
to
his
pleasure
,
as
being
well
bestowed
,
might
haue
merited
the
worlds
fame
;
but
being
lost
to
satisfie
his
lust
,
hath
placed
me
(
for
a
strumpet
)
in
the
blacke
booke
of
infamy
?
who
can
pitty
my
extremities
,
or
what
gentle
eye
will
vouchsafe
thereat
to
shed
one
teare
?
Teares
from
a
remorslesse
bosome
are
most
comfortable
dewes
,
and
the
swéet
waters
of
hearts
ease
.
These
,
or
such
like
passions
breathed
shee
from
her
discontented
bosome
,
which
manner
of
lamentations
once
a
day
shée
made
to
the
sightlesse
aire
,
till
the
time
of
sixe
moneths
ouerpassed
,
at
the
end
whereof
,
there
arriued
at
her
lodging
,
the
two
Earles
of
Arundell
and
Oxford
,
newly
returned
from
Austria
,
being
the
onely
counsellors
to
King
Richard
in
all
his
procéedings
,
which
two
Lords
brought
the
heauiest
newes
that
euer
néerely
touched
England
,
such
newes
that
might
euen
haue
broke
a
sauage
heart
,
newes
of
death
and
dolour
,
the
signification
thereof
sate
like
characters
in
their
foreheads
,
and
as
it
were
made
dumbe
shewes
of
discontent
,
being
with
heauy
countenances
both
come
into
the
presence
of
Lady
Clarabell
,
the
good
Earle
of
Arundell
said
as
followeth
.
Prepare
(
swéet
Lady
)
with
a
gentle
silence
,
to
entertaine
the
wofullest
tale
that
euer
man
at
armes
reported
,
for
it
tels
of
blood
and
death
,
and
of
the
ruine
of
imperious
soueraignety
.
Know
faire
Clarabell
that
in
one
day
by
the
fury
of
relentlesse
warre
,
thou
hast
lost
both
thy
Father
and
thy
Loue
:
First
thy
Father
when
the
battels
ioined
,
closed
with
high
spirited
Richard
in
such
Princely
resolution
,
as
euen
fired
his
whole
army
with
the
liuely
sparkes
of
valour
,
and
so
proudly
managed
himselfe
against
the
gun-shot
of
chance
,
as
if
Hector
and
Achilles
combated
each
other
.
On
the
other
side
English
Richard
,
vnder
whose
ensignes
our selues
marched
so
nobly
,
and
so
beyond
expectation
he
behaued
himselfe
,
as
if
Mars
fought
vpon
the
earth
,
both
Heauen
and
Earth
thundered
forth
their
glories
:
Our
two
Armies
were
in
number
like
the
Campe
of
Scythian
Tamberlaine
,
which
(
as
it
were
)
made
the
huge
earth
to
grone
.
Neuer
since
the
ten
yéeres
warres
at
Troy
,
did
mans
eye
behold
so
numberlesse
a
multitude
,
all
valiant
,
fearelesse
,
and
aduenturous
;
we
for
the
honour
of
England
,
they
for
the
honour
of
Austria
:
Seas
of
blood
couered
the
gréene
fields
,
and
the
féete
of
horses
trampled
out
dead
mens
braines
,
the
cries
of
dying
souldiers
séemed
like
thunder
,
and
the
christ
al
Aire
spread
forth
her
sable
Canopy
,
mourning
at
so
wofull
a
massacre
.
After
thousands
lay
breathlesse
on
the
hungrie
earth
,
glutted
with
the
blood
of
so
many
thousand
Christians
,
the
victory
grew
so
doubtfull
,
that
Lady
Fortune
sate
wauering
,
not
resolued
to
what
side
to
yéeld
it
:
But
woe
is
me
,
euen
then
the
glory
of
both
our
Armies
faded
,
and
the
eluminating
light
of
two
Princes
was
by
consuming
death
extinguished
:
Austria
lost
royall
Don
Iohn
,
your
Father
,
and
wee
imperious
Richard
our
King
.
Two
such
losses
,
as
Europe
for
them
weepes
blood
,
and
may
well
consume
in
griefe
:
Vpon
whose
deaths
,
both
our
Armies
sounded
retreate
,
a
peace
proclaimed
,
and
both
their
bodies
had
such
funerals
as
befitted
the
persons
of
such
high
dignities
.
Our
Leaders
and
Captaines
(
hauing
lost
their
Princely
Generall
,
imbraced
peace
,
and
with
the
Swordes
sheathed
,
Cullors
rolled
vp
,
and
with
heauy
hanging
countenances
,
are
now
arriued
in
England
,
where
(
with
the
generall
consent
of
the
whole
Nobility
)
we
haue
crowned
Iohn
his
brother
,
King
of
this
Countrey
,
whom
in
all
allegiance
we
will
henceforth
honour
and
obey
.
More
would
they
haue
spoken
,
but
the
griefe
of
Clarabella
so
abounded
,
that
shee
could
keepe
silence
no
longer
:
but
in
great
extremity
of
passion
burst
out
into
these
spéeches
.
Héere
(
quoth
shée
)
let
the
World
end
;
for
the
terrible
extremity
of
woe
(
like
the
raging
Ocean
,
)
breakes
in
,
and
ouerflowes
all
my
ioyes
:
I
haue
lost
my
Father
,
Friends
,
Countrey
,
Kinred
,
Acquaintance
,
yea
,
and
my
Child
:
and
the
dearest
of
all
Iewels
,
Royall
King
Richard
,
by
whose
death
I
am
made
most
vnfortunate
.
Descend
some
vnlucky
starre
,
fall
vpon
me
you
fatall
planets
,
and
strike
me
blinde
,
that
my
sightlesse
eyes
may
behold
no
further
miseries
.
Where
art
thou
mischance
?
afflict
me
with
some
fearefull
confusion
;
that
like
the
wife
of
Oedipus
,
the
whole
World
may
report
my
shame
.
Heauens
blessings
(
I
sée
)
hath
refused
me
,
and
like
an
out-cast
loaden
my
blood-red
heart
with
more
then
earthly
sorrow
,
and
with
which
it
is
rent
,
torne
,
and
most
lamentably
tormented
.
At
these
wordes
shée
offered
to
teare
forth
her
owne
eyes
,
had
not
the
gentle
aduice
of
the
two
Earles
perswaded
her
to
patience
,
which
shée
willingly
imbraced
,
and
so
for
that
time
parted
company
:
Shée
to
her
sorrowfull
closet
,
they
to
the
new
refined
Court
,
where
(
after
K.
Iohn
had
intelligence
of
the
successes
of
Clarabella
,
sent
to
her
a
commission
of
banishment
,
with
a
commandement
that
no
English
subiect
vpon
paine
of
death
,
should
giue
her
any
sustenance
of
food
,
whereby
her
wantonnesse
might
be
scourged
with
pining
famishment
:
a
grieuous
and
seuere
penance
,
deseruing
the
name
of
heathen
tyranny
.
But
such
was
the
indignation
of
King
Iohn
,
and
so
violent
in
wrath
,
that
euen
death
quittanced
her
fauourites
.
(
Poore
mappe
of
misery
!
)
shée
was
forced
to
forsake
Courtly
fashions
,
and
to
exchange
her
costly
attires
into
beggers
wéeds
:
shée
that
had
wont
to
féed
vpon
the
variety
of
dainties
,
was
now
sufficed
with
course
seruices
,
no
otherwise
then
with
those
things
that
satisfied
hunger-starued
hounds
:
many
a
little
dogge
(
in
the
laps
of
young
wantons
)
had
more
abundance
of
food
then
this
gallant
Lady
had
.
Day
by
day
walked
shée
comfortlesse
vp
and
downe
the
stréetes
,
moning
her
owne
misfortunes
,
yet
vnpittied
,
and
left
to
her
complaint
.
Night
by
night
wearied
shée
out
the
long
houres
with
remembrances
of
her
former
life
,
where
euery
minutes
thought
begot
new
griefe
,
and
euery
thought
of
new
griefe
almost
split
her
heart
:
sighes
were
as
common
obiects
to
satisfie
her
discontents
,
being
displeased
with
all
things
shée
cast
her
eye
vpon
.
Not
any
comfortable
motion
could
shée
entertain
,
wearied
shée
grew
of
the
wanton
world
,
not
knowing
which
way
to
turne
her selfe
:
Misery
followed
her
vp
and
downe
;
when
shée
remembred
Austria
her
Fathers
Kingdome
,
disobedience
cut
her
heart
,
when
shée
called
to
mind
her
Virginities
wracke
,
a
thousand
woes
(
ioined
with
repentance
)
ouerwhelmed
all
insuing
hopes
,
and
almost
cast
her
into
desperation
,
shée
supposed
pitty
to
be
deafe
,
and
the
tender
remorse
of
humane
gentlenes
to
bée
shut
vp
against
her
.
Shée
that
lately
abounded
in
plentuousnesse
,
now
liued
in
want
of
a
beggars
pittance
,
shée
onely
fed
vpon
sorrow
:
Sighes
were
her
food
,
and
teares
her
drinke
,
wo
,
misery
,
and
penury
,
in
most
extreame
manner
,
tormented
her
pining
carkasse
,
till
pouerties
thinne
countenance
conuerted
her
rose-like
chéekes
into
a
pale
complexion
:
her
hollow
eyes
séemed
like
the
empty
cels
of
death
,
sorrowes
badge
(
which
is
a
wrinckled
brow
,
declared
to
the
world
pitifull
prospects
,
to
the
wringing
handed
griefe
of
the
beholders
,
which
were
not
a
few
in
number
.
)
See
into
this
globe
of
misery
(
you
blazing
starres
of
Christendome
)
you
flourishing
Damsels
,
that
sels
your
bodies
pleasures
to
make
your
soules
blacke
:
You
that
liue
by
the
spoiles
of
youth
,
making
a

loathsome

To
ouerpasse
many
woes
,
poore
Clarabell
indured
in
this
pining
penance
,
we
will
leaue
her
lying
vpon
the

(
by
a

onely
for
an

all
such
carelesse

CHAP.
V.
How
young
Faukonbridge
was
found
by
King
Iohn
in
his
hunting
.
How
hee
preserued
his
Mothers
life
(
vnknowne
to
him
:
And
likewise
how
he
succoured
the
three
Nurses
;
and
of
the
three
gifts
giuen
him
by
the
Queene
of
Fayries
.
NOw
must
we
suppose
Time
(
in
his
swiftest
course
to
runne
along
)
and
some
certaine
yeares
to
passe
ouer
the
head
of
Faukonbridge
,
where
(
taking
leaue
of
the
Fayry
Queene
,
)
he
had
thrée
of
the
richest
gifts
giuen
him
by
her
,
as
neuer
worldly
man
was
owner
off
.
The
first
was
a
garment
made
him
of
the
Lyons
skinne
,
that
his
Father
Richard
Cordelyon
slew
in
Austria
,
of
vertue
so
precious
,
that
the
wearer
thereof
should
neuer
faint
in
courage
,
but
euer
continus
Victor
in
all
atchieuements
.
The
second
a
purse
of
gold
,
of
such
a
plentifull
treasure
,
that
can
neuer
grow
empty
,
but
as
it
is
taken
forth
,
the
vertue
thereof
replenisheth
it
againe
,
by
which
meanes
it
continues
full
.
The
third
a
ring
of
such
inestimable
price
,
that
by
the
touch
therof
healeth
all
diseases
(
neuer
so
dangerous
and
vncurable
.
)
These
were
the
blessings
of
the
Fayry
Queene
bestowed
vppon
this
yong
gallant
,
which
he
receiued
as
his
patrimony
,
and
kept
them
as
the
onely
gifts
of
good
Fortune
.
Thus
being
of
the
age
of
fiftéene
yéeres
,
he
continued
in
the
woods
(
like
vnto
a
sauage
satyre
)
vnacquainted
with
worldly
people
,
rouing
vp
and
downe
,
vntill
such
time
as
King
Iohn
of
England
,
(
his
vnckle
by
the
Fathers
side
)
found
him
in
his
wild
quality
:
but
séeing
him
replenished
with
such
lineaments
of
nature
,
strong
,
and
sturdy
,
as
promised
ensuing
honors
:
He
tooke
him
to
his
kéeping
,
and
gaue
him
in
charge
to
an
ancient
Noble
man
of
his
Court
,
to
be
trained
vp
,
and
taught
perfectly
his
naturall
English
tong
,
which
hee
most
spéedily
accomplished
to
his
high
renowne
:
whereupon
the
King
soone
aduanced
his
estate
,
and
made
him
groome
of
his
priuy
chamber
;
but
he
hauing
the
lofty
spirit
of
Knight-hood
springing
in
his
brest
,
aimed
at
nobler
aduentures
,
and
to
winne
credit
by
the
strength
of
his
body
,
desired
the
Kings
leaue
to
depart
his
Court
,
and
to
trie
forraigne
atchieuements
in
the
honour
of
God
and
his
Countrey
:
which
princely
request
did
not
a
little
content
the
King
,
whereupon
he
gaue
him
a
horse
well
furnished
with
all
the
abilliments
fitting
so
resolued
a
Gentleman
,
and
with
all
graced
him
with
the
picture
by
nature
set
vpon
his
brest
.
Thus
after
leaue
taken
,
like
one
of
Fames
darlings
,
this
knightly
Faukonbridge
in
the
spring-time
of
his
youth
,
committed
himselfe
to
fortunes
fickle
fauours
,
where
after
he
had
trauelled
some
few
daies
iournies
from
the
English
Court
,
he
arriued
at
the
gate
of
an
Hospitall
,
whereat
lay
Clarabell
his
vnknowne
mother
,
begging
for
reliefe
,
with
these
lines
grauen
ouer
her
head
vpon
the
wall
in
capitall
letters
,
according
to
King
Iohns
commandement
.
A
Princes
daughter
by
the
Kings
decree
,
Here
pines
in
care
,
stand
still
,
and
passe
not
by
,
Till
this
poore
map
of
perfect
misery
,
With
wringing
hands
heau'd
vp
to
heauen
high
,
Tels
how
her
wanton
life
in
sinne
was
spent
,
And
why
shee
thus
makes
wofull
languishment
.
Pitty
her
not
,
her
life
is
staind
with
shame
,
By
her
a
Kingdomes
ruine
was
begot
:
Lust
and
desire
hath
blotted
her
good
name
,
And
true
repentance
must
make
cleere
that
spot
.
To
succour
her
is
death
,
authority
commands
,
Against
which
power
,
lift
no
presumptuous
hands
.
Lord
Faukonbridge
hauing
read
this
superscription
,
in
pitty
rued
her
estate
,
not
knowing
her
to
be
his
mother
,
for
as
yet
his
parents
were
vnknown
to
him
,
yet
harbouring
in
his
breast
noble
thoughts
,
he
could
not
choose
but
extend
charity
vnto
her
,
and
being
the
first
of
his
aduentures
,
and
the
maiden-head
of
his
mercy
,
the
first
good
déed
that
euer
he
did
,
therefore
he
willingly
alighted
from
his
palphrey
,
and
in
tender
pitty
tooke
the
halfe
starued
Lady
by
the
hand
,
saying
;
If
thou
béest
descended
royally
,
as
these
letters
witnes
that
thou
art
,
I
am
bound
in
all
knightly
curtesies
to
defend
thée
,
and
in
maugre
of
blacke
Fortunes
spight
,
succour
thy
distressed
estate
,
as
it
séemes
now
the
worlds
out-cast
.
Tell
me
faire
Lady
thy
name
,
thy
birth
,
and
abode
,
and
as
I
am
sworne
true
Knight
,
I
will
be
thy
champion
,
and
conduct
thée
safely
into
thine
owne
countrey
.
These
gentle
promises
made
by
Lord
Faukonbridge
,
aspired
new
life
into
her
fading
body
,
who
with
a
chéerefull
countenance
spake
as
followeth
:
Deare
Knight
thy
desert
I
know
not
,
but
surely
thou
séemest
to
be
gracious
in
all
thy
procéedings
,
and
desires
not
I
know
to
inforce
a
Lady
,
to
speake
of
that
which
will
breake
her
heart
to
remember
:
Yet
because
thou
promisest
me
thy
gentle
aide
,
to
deliuer
me
from
this
miserable
vale
of
woe
,
and
set
me
wishedly
vpon
the
shore
of
my
natiue
kingdome
,
vilely
dishonoured
by
my
wilfull
follies
:
Vnderstand
then
I
was
borne
in
Austria
,
my
name
Clarabell
,
Princely
my
Father
,
from
whom
I
disobediently
fled
for
the
loue
of
a
Northerne
Monarke
,
vnto
whom
I
yéelded
vp
the
pleasures
of
my
virginity
,
the
losse
whereof
made
me
,
(
though
no
wife
)
yet
an
vnhappy
mother
:
for
which
blacke
sinne
I
am
now
thus
punished
.
Question
no
further
swéet
Gentleman
,
for
the
rest
will
bereaue
me
of
life
,
but
according
to
thy
noble
disposition
,
be
my
gardian
,
and
conduct
me
to
my
natiue
countrey
,
and
the
rewarder
of
all
good
déeds
,
will
quittance
your
curtesies
.
Indéed
faire
Lady
(
quoth
he
)
as
our
oathes
in
Knight-hood
be
so
to
doe
,
so
in
performance
thereof
I
will
aduenture
my
life
,
though
it
be
to
the
Kings
high
displeasure
.
So
taking
her
vp
behind
him
vpon
his
horse
,
he
carried
her
to
the
next
towne
,
and
there
both
cheered
her
pining
body
with
comfortable
victuals
,
and
after
cloathed
her
in
such
garments
as
befitted
the
degrée
of
a
Gentlewoman
,
and
so
set
forwards
towards
Austria
,
spending
the
slow
time
away
with
pleasing
discourses
,
little
thinking
of
the
néere
alliance
that
was
betwixt
them
two
,
the
one
the
mother
,
the
other
the
sonne
:
but
heauen
meaning
to
shew
a
wonder
in
their
liues
,
would
not
as
yet
suffer
their
kindreds
to
be
brought
to
light
.
So
trauelling
on
as
I
said
before
,
they
were
intercepted
by
a
most
strange
obiect
,
which
were
thrée
most
distressed
creatures
,
séeming
by
their
attires
to
be
weomen
,
and
the
thrée
nurses
(
in
former
times
)
of
young
Faukonbridge
,
which
Clarabell
full
well
knew
,
but
that
shée
feared
to
be
discouered
.
The
good
Knight
being
stil
pittifull
,
beholding
their
miseries
,
the
one
dumbe
,
the
next
blind
,
and
the
third
lame
.
Thrée
woefull
companions
,
whom
age
and
time
had
thus
crossed
with
heauy
calamity
,
hee
like
a
true
godly
minded
man
,
with
that
ring
which
the
Fairy
Quéen
had
giuen
him
,
cured
all
their
maladies
,
the
vertues
of
it
being
so
excellent
,
that
it
no
sooner
touched
their
dismembred
bodies
,
but
immediately
they
were
all
made
perfect
,
the
lame
could
goe
,
the
blinde
sée
,
and
the
dumbe
speak
:
which
miracle
done
by
Lord
Faukonbridge
,
according
to
the
will
of
heauen
,
inforced
teares
through
extreame
ioy
,
to
fall
from
the
three
recouered
Nurses
eyes
,
desiring
the
maker
of
all
things
to
reward
his
curtesies
.
The
good
Knight
,
not
onely
cured
their
griefes
,
but
gaue
them
great
store
of
gold
out
of
his
most
plentifull
purse
,
another
gift
from
the
Fairy
Quéene
by
him
receiued
.
Now
these
thrée
new
reuiued
weomen
being
safe
and
sound
,
no
sooner
departed
,
but
faire
Clarabell
greatly
desired
to
be
Mistresse
of
two
such
precious
Iewels
as
this
Ring
and
the
Purse
was
,
whereupon
in
most
gentle
manner
shée
intreated
Lord
Faukonbridge
to
bestow
them
vpon
her
,
that
for
his
sake
shée
might
were
them
,
a
fauour
to
her
heart
(
as
shée
said
)
more
inualuable
then
was
the
Iewell
that
Marke
Anthony
,
gaue
Cleopatra
Quéene
of
Egypt
,
gifts
in
his
imagination
,
prised
aboue
the
worlds
Monarchy
,
yet
being
loath
to
deny
her
request
,
he
most
willingly
gaue
her
them
,
and
with
his
owne
hand
putting
the
Ring
vpon
her
pretty
finger
,
and
tying
the
rich
purse
by
her
comely
side
,
he
said
,
Neuer
let
Knightly
prowesse
aduance
my
reputation
,
nor
record
my
liues
fame
in
the
booke
of
memorable
time
,
but
let
me
die
blotted
with
cowardice
,
the
foule
staine
of
matchlesse
Knighthood
,
when
I
refuse
to
accomplish
the
least
motion
of
your
Lady-ships
desire
:
for
in
your
countenance
shines
honourable
graces
,
and
promiseth
dignified
vertue
.
To
whom
Clarabell
with
a
modest
behauiour
answered
in
this
sort
:
And
much
were
I
too
blame
(
Sir
knight
)
if
I
should
not
seeke
by
desert
to
requite
your
kindnesse
,
and
vile
ingratitude
as
a
disgrace
to
my
calling
,
might
be
well
allotted
to
my
share
:
If
time
and
good
fortune
euer
aduance
me
to
my
former
estate
,
I
will
make
thy
credit
equall
Grecian
Achilles
,
and
cause
the
worlds
famous
antiquaries
to
signifie
thy
martiall
condition
:
thou
hast
bewitcht
mee
with
thy
vertues
,
and
with
the
chaine
of
manly
carriage
bound
my
life
to
thy
seruice
:
Reseruing
my
honour
,
I
humble
my selfe
to
thy
noblenesse
,
which
honour
onely
I
once
submitted
to
a
King
,
the
fruit
thereof
might
I
but
liue
to
sée
,
my
earths
content
were
then
growne
to
a
perfection
.
Liuing
,
or
dead
,
great
Ioue
protect
him
:
this
is
my
orizon
to
heauen
,
and
vppon
this
doe
I
daily
meditate
.
These
misticall
spéeches
of
hers
,
might
haue
lighted
the
fire
of
discouery
,
but
that
blind
fate
would
not
as
yet
haue
them
knowne
.
These
and
such
like
,
were
the
pleasurable
discourses
betwixt
these
two
trauellers
,
with
the
which
they
spent
away
many
a
long
day
and
weary
night
,
without
any
aduenture
worth
the
noting
.
But
as
Fortune
is
not
alwaies
smiling
,
here
shée
beganne
againe
to
frowne
,
and
to
crosse
their
desires
with
an
vnlookt
for
chance
:
For
vpon
a
hot
summers
day
,
when
the
bright
Sunne
in
his
greatest
glory
shined
in
the
horizon
,
in
a
most
intollerable
heat
,
the
poore
Lady
wearied
with
trauell
,
sat
her
downe
to
rest
in
a
pleasant
gréene
shade
of
trées
(
where
dallying
with
the
Ring
vpon
her
lap
)
shée
fell
fast
asléepe
,
during
which
swéet
slumber
,
there
came
a
huge
blacke
Rauen
soaring
by
,
and
thinking
the
yellow
Ring
to
be
some
prey
,
which
lay
vpon
her
lap
,
with
her
tallents
catcht
it
vp
,
and
therewithall
flew
quite
away
,
to
the
great
amasement
of
Lord
Faukonbridge
,
standing
by
the
sléeping
Lady
as
her
gardiant
,
and
being
loth
to
loose
so
rare
a
Iewell
,
mounted
vpon
his
Stéed
,
and
in
most
swift
manner
followed
the
Rauen
so
farre
,
that
he
quite
lost
the
presence
of
faire
Clarabell
,
whom
(
for
a
while
we
will
leaue
sléeping
)
and
speake
what
strange
aduenture
happened
to
this
noble
Knight
.
CHAP.
VI.
How
Lord
Faukonbridge
was
found
by
the
Moores
,
and
presented
to
the
King
of
Morocco
.
Of
his
aduentures
in
that
Kingdome
.
The
lamentation
of
Clarabell
for
her
passed
life
:
and
how
in
penance
thereof
,
shee
builded
a
Monastery
for
the
receit
of
poore
Pilgrims
.
NOble
minded
Faukonbridge
,
followed
the
flight
of
this
rich
prised
Rauen
,
carrying
in
his
beake
the
worth
of
a
Kings
ransome
,
not
resting
nor
pitching
vpon
any
trée
or
branch
,
till
shée
had
let
the
Ring
fall
into
the
Sea
,
which
struck
such
terrour
to
the
heart
of
Faukonbridge
,
(
then
standing
vpon
the
shore
,
séeing
the
euent
)
that
he
almost
cast
himselfe
after
it
into
the
waues
,
but
that
better
graces
guided
him
,
and
hope
of
better
Fortunes
restrained
his
desperatenesse
.
Standing
thus
amased
,
and
calling
to
mind
the
losse
of
Clarabella
(
whom
he
had
left
comfortlesse
behind
)
sléeping
in
a
gréene
shade
of
trées
,
not
knowing
how
,
nor
which
way
to
returne
backe
,
belieuing
neuer
more
to
behold
her
Angelicall
countenance
:
Therefore
like
a
mournefull
Traueller
(
loosing
himselfe
in
some
desart
wildernesse
)
he
breathed
out
this
vnpittied
lamentation
:
Many
and
vnlucky
are
my
first
aduentures
(
quoth
he
)
attended
on
by
crosse
chances
,
and
vntoward
procéedings
;
no
motion
of
reliefe
can
I
premeditate
vpon
.
For
I
am
come
by
ill
Fortune
into
a
place
of
desolation
,
not
frequented
by
the
habitation
of
man
:
Here
liues
nothing
but
gréene
bellied
Serpents
,
roaring
Wolues
,
and
beasts
of
fearefull
shapes
,
such
as
may
well
terrifie
the
proudest
courage
:
Here
sounds
no
other
Ecchoes
but
the
croakes
of
Rauens
,
night-Owles
,
cries
,
and
the
bellowing
of
vntamed
Tygers
,
such
as
thunders
forth
nothing
but
sounds
of
death
and
destruction
:
here
is
no
other
food
to
sustaine
nature
,
but
wild
hemlocks
,
henbane
,
and
such
impoisoned
wéedes
,
the
onely
store-house
of
blacke
inchanters
,
witches
,
and
charmers
,
the
aire
séemes
to
be
corrupted
,
and
the
earth
casts
vp
putrifying
sauours
,
worse
then
the
smoaking
lake
where
Sodome
and
Gomorra
stood
.
In
this
manner
complained
he
for
the
space
of
thrice
twelue
houres
,
looking
euery
houre
to
be
deuoured
by
wild
beasts
,
but
that
his
Lyon-like
garment
which
hee
wore
,
made
them
thinke
him
to
bee
one
of
their
number
,
which
sauage
creatures
in
tame
manner
lodged
by
his
side
.
As
he
thus
betwéen
feare
and
hope
,
expected
present
death
,
hee
beheld
a
Turkish
galley
houering
by
the
shore
side
,
the
Captaine
whereof
(
being
a
noble
minded
Gentleman
)
at
the
first
sight
of
young
Faukonbridge
,
cast
a
Land
,
where
(
beholding
his
distresses
)
tooke
him
aboord
,
which
●nlookt
for
fauour
,
not
a
little
reioiced
him
:
but
being
so
happily
preserued
from
death
,
most
willingly
submitted
to
their
mercies
,
they
being
Moores
,
he
a
Christian
:
they
misbeléeuing
,
he
true
in
faith
,
they
blacke
,
he
faire
,
two
extreame
contrarieties
:
yet
when
these
Heathen
people
beheld
his
face
stored
with
such
maiesty
,
resembling
the
beauty
of
his
Creator
:
they
admired
his
Angelike
countenance
,
neuer
before
that
time
séeing
a
man
of
his
colour
,
but
all
blacke
like
themselues
,
therefore
supposing
to
haue
found
some
heauenly
Angell
,
they
presented
him
to
their
King
,
as
then
kéeping
his
Court
some
foure
miles
distance
from
that
place
,
on
the
other
side
of
the
Sea
,
(
being
but
a
créeke
of
the
maine
Ocean
)
in
a
most
sumptuous
Pallace
,
for
brightnesse
like
to
the
Tower
of
the
Sunne
.
The
Morrocco
King
with
his
blacke
countenance
,
aduancing
himselfe
in
his
royall
throne
,
with
great
admiration
receiued
Lord
Faukonbridge
,
not
as
a
Captiue
,
or
a
chained
Galley-slaue
,
but
like
the
Darling
of
Maiesty
,
or
as
the
Paragon
of
Fame
,
sent
from
Heauen
to
glorifie
his
Court.
Legions
of
reports
might
wee
make
of
his
entertainement
with
the
Morocco
King
and
his
Nobles
,
who
estéemed
him
rather
to
be
some
God
,
then
a
worldly
man
,
more
dignified
honours
heaped
they
vpon
his
backe
,
then
euer
that
country
gaue
vnto
a
stranger
.
The
wealth
of
that
Kingdome
made
they
his
treasury
,
and
masses
of
Indian
pearles
lay
still
at
his
commandement
,
the
time
of
his
abode
there
passed
on
apace
,
and
iollity
of
his
life
made
seuen
yéers
but
as
a
month
-
Which
being
ouerpassed
,
it
was
his
chance
vpon
a
solemne
festiuall
day
,
which
was
the
birth
day
of
their
King
,
onely
once
in
seauen
yéeres
solemnized
,
to
behold
the
chiefest
of
the
Kings
Nobility
in
their
richest
ornaments
,
going
as
it
were
on
procession
in
the
honour
of
their
Prophet
Mahomet
.
Placing
him
(
as
it
séemed
in
heauen
)
to
the
high
dishonour
of
the
Christians
God
,
whose
wrath
and
indignation
is
the
whole
Worlds
confusion
,
and
whose
fauour
the
preseruation
of
man-kind
.
This
God
and
liuing
Power
,
was
the
Patrone
of
Lord
Faukonbridge
,
by
whose
fauour
he
hoped
to
conquer
Fats
,
and
subdue
Kingdomes
:
This
God
when
he
saw
him
thus
highly
dishonoured
,
fury
possest
him
,
and
to
the
great
disparagement
of
all
that
heathen
Nation
,
he
desperately
tore
downe
the
picture
of
Mahomet
,
and
with
his
kéene
edged
Semitary
cut
it
in
small
pieces
,
to
the
great
amasement
of
the
Kings
Nobility
,
who
in
gréedy
reuenge
furiously
set
vppon
him
altogether
(
like
a
number
of
whelps
vpon
a
princely
Lyon
)
who
so
Lyon-like
behaued
himselfe
,
that
in
lesse
then
halfe
an
houre
,
hee
left
breathlesse
vpon
the
blood-died
earth
,
more
then
sixe
and
twenty
of
the
Kings
Nobles
,
approuing
here
his
vnconquerable
valour
,
procéeding
from
the
vertue
of
his
Lion
like
garment
,
which
the
Fairy
Quéene
had
giuen
him
.
At
this
bold
enterprise
performed
with
his
owne
hand
,
he
caused
the
Moores
to
ring
forth
their
Alarum
Bels
,
and
to
fire
their
Beakons
,
to
raise
vp
their
country
forces
,
thinking
that
heauen
had
thither
sent
a
confounder
of
mankind
,
and
that
by
his
onely
meanes
their
kingdome
should
be
subdued
.
This
matchlesse
enterprise
performed
by
noble
minded
Faukonbridge
,
did
not
a
little
perplex
the
King
,
nor
no
idle
feare
assailed
his
mind
,
but
such
a
fright
as
made
his
very
soule
to
tremble
:
wherefore
to
rid
his
kingdom
from
present
danger
,
in
most
kind
manner
he
proclaimed
truce
,
and
dissemblingly
applauded
Lord
Faukonbridg
for
this
desperate
attempt
:
(
and
though
to
his
griefe
of
mind
)
with
faire
and
princely
promises
,
he
perswaded
this
English
Gallant
to
depart
his
Country
:
and
the
more
to
aduance
his
deserued
honours
,
the
King
bestowed
vpon
him
twelue
barrels
of
good
red
gold
,
and
withall
a
shippe
well
furnished
,
to
conduct
him
home
into
his
owne
Country
.
Which
kind
fauour
was
most
gratefully
accepted
off
by
noble
Faukonbridge
,
who
leauing
the
Morocco
Kingdome
,
put
himselfe
to
Sea
,
committing
his
fortunes
againe
to
the
merciles
waues
,
but
making
the
Pilot
and
Marriners
beléeue
,
that
the
twelue
barrels
of
gold
,
were
but
twelue
barrels
of
red
lead
:
a
commodity
most
precious
in
his
natiue
Countrey
.
The
Pylot
supposing
no
otherwise
,
sailed
amaine
with
prosperous
wind
towards
the
Northerne
nations
.
In
which
succesfull
iourney
,
we
will
leaue
now
Lord
Faukonbridge
,
and
returne
to
his
vnknown
Mother
(
Lady
Clarabell
)
whom
we
left
as
you
heard
before
,
sleeping
vnder
a
shade
of
trées
,
where
Lord
Faukonbridge
beganne
to
follow
the
chace
,
after
the
vnlucky
Rauen.
Clarabell
as
we
spake
of
before
in
her
swéete
sleepe
,
little
dreaming
of
the
absence
of
Faukonbridge
,
at
her
awaking
,
both
mist
him
,
and
the
ring
;
two
losses
so
precious
,
as
euen
caused
sorrow
to
reuel
in
her
bosome
,
that
Ioy
was
a
stranger
,
and
content
exiled
;
diuers
were
the
doubts
shee
had
of
his
misaduentures
,
one
while
shee
supposed
death
like
a
tyrant
had
possest
him
,
another
while
shee
feared
the
breach
of
his
promise
,
and
that
he
had
secretly
fled
from
her
,
bearing
away
with
him
the
inchanted
Ring
:
Now
one
thing
,
then
another
,
not
knowing
what
to
coniecture
,
but
when
shee
saw
her selfe
quite
bereft
of
his
sweet
presence
,
the
onely
preseruer
of
her
life
,
exempted
from
al
hope
of
his
recouery
,
in
great
griefe
of
minde
,
shee
betooke
her selfe
to
trauell
,
and
so
with
weary
steps
followed
on
the
first
path
shee
found
,
wherein
shee
wandred
day
and
night
,
receiuing
little
rest
,
and
lesse
food
,
making
this
sorrowfull
mone
vnto
her selfe
.
Oh
thou
iust
doome
(
quoth
shee
)
of
all
offences
,
will
thy
heauy
wrath
be
neuer
mittigated
?
shall
this
my
pining
punishment
neuer
end
?
shall
woe
vpon
wo
still
pursue
me
?
weep
in
teares
oh
mine
eyes
,
be
neuer
dried
faire
lamentations
:
euen
at
that
houre
when
I
hoped
all
sorrowes
to
be
finished
,
began
new
griefe
,
when
in
loosing
my
Sonne
,
I
found
a
Friend
,
whom
now
wanting
,
I
find
eternall
causes
of
discontent
:
It
cannot
be
possible
,
but
that
some
dismall
mischance
hath
befallen
him
,
or
some
vnlucky
Lot
deceiued
me
of
him
,
there
is
no
likely-hood
of
his
selfe-wild
departure
,
for
in
his
breast
he
harboured
thoughts
of
true
humanity
,
honour
guided
him
,
and
vertue
was
his
friend
:
how
can
it
then
be
that
of
his
owne
accord
he
is
departed
?
Surely
some
vnlucky
euent
hath
befalne
him
:
therefore
,
oh
my
heart
sob
in
griefe
,
and
for
his
sake
make
thy
life
but
a
pilgrimage
of
woe
,
consume
in
care
,
waste
with
wéeping
,
for
I
haue
lost
the
Paragon
of
Knight-hood
,
whose
countenance
promised
me
to
aduance
my
desired
hope
,
and
bring
me
safely
vnto
the
shoare
of
my
natiue
Countrey
:
but
séeing
dole
and
discontent
hath
crossed
all
my
good
Fortunes
,
I
will
for
his
sake
,
with
the
treasure
of
my
neuer
emptied
purse
,
receiued
from
him
,
built
vp
a
Monastery
,
and
in
the
same
(
like
a
Monasticke
Nunne
)
spend
out
my
daies
in
the
seruice
of
that
God
that
hath
thus
crossed
me
,
and
there
be
a
continuall
comforter
of
distressed
Pilgrims
,
and
warfaring
trauellers
,
hoping
that
if
life
be
in
my
déere
friend
,
he
will
once
againe
arriue
in
that
happy
place
,
and
once
more
satisfie
my
thirsting
eye
with
his
Princely
person
.
Being
thus
resolued
,
shée
trauelled
some
thrée
moneths
iourney
from
the
place
,
where
shée
lost
her
déere
friend
the
Lord
Faukonbridge
,
and
there
close
by
the
Sea
side
,
shée
builded
a
most
stately
Monastery
,
relieuing
still
the
wants
of
such
distressed
trauellers
as
passed
that
way
,
yéelding
as
well
lodging
,
as
meat
and
drinke
,
to
such
as
stood
in
néed
thereof
:
For
the
maintenance
thereof
,
shée
had
her
inchanted
purse
still
ready
furnished
;
thither
resorted
people
of
all
degrées
,
thither
came
Princes
,
Monarkes
,
and
maiesticke
Kings
,
that
trauelled
in
deuotion
to
the
shrine
of
Christ
in
Ierusalem
.
Thither
came
worthy
champions
,
Knights
errant
,
and
such
as
sought
for
knightly
atchieuements
:
t●ither
came
religious
Church-men
,
Prelates
,
and
holy
minded
men
,
zealously
séeking
by
Pilgrimages
to
wipe
away
worldly
offences
,
thither
came
Plowmen
,
Shepheards
,
Fishermen
,
and
such
as
were
numbred
amongst
the
common
people
,
thinking
thereby
to
obtaine
absolution
for
their
misdéeds
,
euery
one
offering
in
zeale
vnto
her
great
store
of
riches
,
whereof
shée
had
little
néed
,
accounting
it
meritorious
to
giue
towards
the
maintenance
of
so
vertuous
a
custome
.
Amongst
which
number
of
Benefactors
,
there
was
one
Peter
a
Fisherman
,
that
in
deuotion
of
minde
,
presented
vnto
her
a
most
dainty
Fish
called
a
Dolphin
,
a
present
more
fitter
for
a
Prince
,
then
such
an
humble
minded
woman
as
shée
was
,
whose
humility
almost
in
that
Countrey
purchased
her
the
name
of
a
Goddesse
:
This
gift
from
the
fisherman
was
by
her
most
curteously
receiued
,
and
most
bountifully
requited
with
great
store
of
golde
,
which
shée
tooke
from
out
her
inchanted
purse
:
Herewith
was
old
Peter
well
pleased
,
and
the
Lady
better
contented
,
for
in
the
Dolphins
belly
shée
found
the
same
Ring
,
which
the
Rauen
let
fall
into
the
Sea
,
the
same
Ring
after
which
Lord
Faukonbridge
so
vnhappily
followed
,
the
same
King
that
by
the
precious
touch
of
it
healed
all
diseases
.
In
this
accident
fortune
shewed
the
pride
of
her
glory
,
and
brought
more
strange
admiration
into
the
heart
of
Clarabell
,
then
euer
shée
expected
:
but
being
possest
thereof
,
shée
verily
beléeued
that
noble
Faukonbridge
lay
intombed
in
the
watery
Kingdome
,
and
that
neuer
more
the
consolation
of
his
presence
should
in
ioyfull
manner
delight
her
desirefull
eye
:
pale
death
(
as
shee
supposed
by
the
finding
of
this
Ring
)
had
made
prize
of
his
life
,
too
rich
a
Iewell
,
as
shee
said
,
for
this
vngratefull
World
,
therefore
in
the
true
zeale
of
heart
,
and
in
remembrance
of
his
worthinesse
,
shee
caused
a
Faulkon
of
Gold
to
be
set
vpon
the
top
of
the
Monastery
,
wherein
shée
dwelled
,
the
bright
eluminating
colour
thereof
shined
into
the
Sea
,
and
was
euer
after
that
made
a
marke
,
or
a
guide
for
Mariners
to
saile
by
.
Also
like
a
curteous
Lady
,
to
quittance
old
Peter
the
fishermans
rich
present
,
by
good
Fortune
bestowed
vpon
her
,
shee
canonised
the
Monastery
,
and
called
it
after
his
name
,
Saint
Peters
Hermitage
a
place
of
charity
,
and
a
receit
for
all
such
as
wanted
maintenance
.
After
this
,
thousands
of
oppressed
people
in
this
place
found
succour
,
Pilgrims
and
weary
trauellers
here
freely
found
lodging
:
Widdowes
and
succourlesse
Children
,
here
tasted
bounties
liberality
,
maimed
Souldiers
,
and
such
as
lost
their
limbes
in
the
seruice
of
their
Countrey
,
here
slept
vpon
downy
beds
,
more
softer
then
naples
silke
:
Blind
,
deafe
,
and
dumbe
,
in
this
place
found
helpe
,
not
any
diseased
creature
went
from
hence
vncured
,
all
which
by
this
vertuous
Lady
,
was
onely
done
in
charity
for
Gods
sake
,
and
to
appease
the
torments
of
his
soule
,
that
in
guiding
her
to
her
natiue
Countrey
,
lost
his
deere
life
.
Wherefore
from
this
day
,
to
her
liues
departure
,
shée
desired
the
fellowship
of
vertue
,
abandoning
all
immodest
behauiour
,
vowing
her selfe
to
the
seruice
of
Heauen
,
and
good
déeds
,
in
which
shée
continually
striued
to
excéed
all
others
of
her
time
:
which
good
deuotions
we
for
a
while
will
ouerpasse
;
and
report
of
other
delightfull
accidents
,
agréeing
to
the
course
of

CHAP.
VII
.
How
Lord
Faukonbridge
lost
himselfe
in
a
barren
Iland
.
His
meanes
of
recouery
.
The
finding
againe
of
Clarabell
.
How
these
two
were
made
knowne
to
each
other
.
And
of
the
great
ioies
betwixt
the
mother
and
her
Sonne
.
NOw
is
it
time
to
report
againe
of
Lord
Faukonbridge
,
and
his
fortunes
on
the
Sea
,
and
how
his
ship
loaden
with
his
barrels
of
golde
,
lay
houering
on
the
billowes
,
many
a
day
expecting
a
prosperous
wind
for
England
,
but
obtained
none
:
For
fate
and
good
Fortune
crossed
their
hopes
,
and
want
of
victuals
so
oppressed
them
,
that
hunger
almost
surprised
their
liues
,
and
like
a
pittilesse
Tyrant
would
grant
them
no
remorse
:
twise
sixe
moneths
continued
this
their
extremity
,
to
the
terror
of
all
good
men
,
a
death
bringing
horror
both
to
man
and
beast
.
At
the
last
,
after
they
had
made
many
submissiue
prayers
to
God
for
a
good
winde
,
Aeolus
set
open
his
brazen
gates
,
and
sent
them
such
a
gentle
gale
,
that
they
in
thrée
houres
sayling
,
arriued
vpon
an
Iland
so
barren
,
that
therein
they
found
no
other
thing
to
succour
their
distresses
,
and
preserue
them
from
famishment
,
but
onely
fresh
water
,
with
the
which
they
sufficiently
stored
their
ship
,
giuing
Heauen
thankes
for
so
blessed
a
fauour
.
But
this
suffised
not
the
desires
of
noble
Faukonbridge
,
hoping
to
find
better
reliefe
for
him
and
his
men
,
resolutely
aduentured
further
vp
into
the
Iland
,
to
discouer
if
he
could
wherewithall
to
vittaile
his
ship
.
But
woe
is
me
to
report
it
,
this
aduenturous
Gentleman
trauelled
so
farre
,
that
he
lost
his
way
,
not
being
able
to
returne
backe
vnto
his
company
,
by
which
meanes
he
was
constrained
to
stay
all
night
vpon
the
top
of
a
trée
,
for
feare
of
wilde
beasts
,
whereof
the
Iland
was
full
.
But
now
marke
how
vnlucky
all
things
fell
out
,
the
same
night
the
wind
rose
,
and
so
violently
droue
the
ship
from
the
shore
,
that
the
Pilot
was
inforced
to
leaue
Lord
Faukonbridge
a
Land
,
and
commit
his
Fortunes
to
the
Sea
,
where
before
day
light
they
were
cast
vpon
the
coast
where
Saint
Peters
charitable
Hermitage
was
scituated
,
they
being
Infidels
and
Moorish
natured
people
,
neuer
expected
the
safety
of
Lord
Faukonbrdge
,
being
a
Christian
,
but
left
him
comfortlesse
in
the
barren
Iland
,
and
cast
a
shore
where
faire
Clarabell
abode
,
where
comming
a
Land
,
desired
her
for
his
sake
that
created
her
,
to
affoord
them
some
reliefe
,
whereby
their
liues
might
be
saued
,
and
their
ship
sufficiently
replenished
with
food
fitting
their
intended
voyage
.
Pittifull
Clarabell
good
Lady
▪
shée
greatly
reioiced
that
it
lay
in
her
power
to
furnish
their
wants
,
most
willingly
gaue
them
entertainement
,
and
yéelded
them
such
refreshing
comforts
,
as
preserued
both
their
ship
and
liues
from
perishing
.
Likewise
they
meaning
to
expresse
no
vngratefull
thankes
for
so
kinde
a
fauour
,
as
an
humble
signe
of
good
will
,
curteously
bestowed
vpon
her
,
the
twelue
barrels
of
gold
which
Lord
Faukonbridge
reported
to
be
red
lead
,
all
which
according
to
her
gentle
nature
,
noble
minded
Clarabell
receiued
.
So
parting
with
thankes
to
each
other
,
the
Pilot
returned
to
Morocco
,
very
ioyfull
for
the
riddance
of
Lord
Faukonbridge
,
their
Countries
supposed
enemy
,
and
shée
no
lesse
delighted
in
the
performance
of
her
bountifull
charity
extended
to
the
preseruation
of
so
many
dying
men
.
All
this
while
Lord
Faukonbridge
remained
in
the
barren
Iland
,
almost
hunger-starued
for
want
of
food
,
in
which
place
was
nothing
found
to
satisfie
his
gentle
nature
,
but
the
flesh
of
wilde
beasts
which
hee
killed
with
his
owne
hands
,
which
(
for
want
of
fire
)
hee
rosted
in
the
sun
,
and
with
the
same
,
(
to
his
content
)
made
more
pleasinger
banquets
,
then
when
he
feasted
in
the
Morocco
Court
,
onely
patience
chiefly
guided
him
,
but
being
thus
lost
,
and
exiled
from
the
society
of
humane
creatures
,
he
liued
a
long
time
in
the
woods
,
in
such
penurie
and
want
,
that
his
strength
began
to
faile
,
sicknesse
grew
on
,
and
danger
of
life
tormented
him
for
want
of
naturall
sustenance
,
caused
a
grieuous
kind
of
leprosie
to
grow
quite
ouer
his
body
,
in
such
sort
,
that
his
Princely
countenance
was
suddenly
changed
into
a
most
vgly
visage
,
and
pale
death
as
it
were
sate
perching
vpon
his
heauie
brow
,
betwixt
life
and
death
,
hee
sate
him
down
vpon
the
root
of
a
dead
withered
trée
,
making
this
complaint
vnto
himselfe
.
If
euer
pitty
(
quoth
he
)
entred
the
celestiall
gate
of
Heauen
,
or
euer
remorsfull
mercy
tenderly
lookt
into
the
poore
estate
of
a
miserable
Gentleman
,
then
by
this
my
liues
ruine
,
may
be
séene
the
true
patter●e
of
calamity
:
woe
vpon
me
,
crosse
vpon
crosse
,
and
extremity
vpon
extremity
,
makes
a
vnity
,
and
all
conspires
together
to
worke
my
good
Fortunes
confusion
.
Here
am
I
now
left
in
a
wildernesse
of
desolation
,
friendlesse
without
comforter
,
not
knowing
which
way
to
get
forth
,
but
committed
to
the
vile
tyranny
of
vntamed
Tygers
,
euen
ready
to
intombe
my
dying
body
within
their
blood-thirsting
bowels
,
a
graue
most
vnfit
to
close
vp
my
new
created
life
.
In
speaking
these
words
,
he
heard
from
a
farre
,
as
it
were
out
of
a
hollow
vaute
,
a
voice
sounding
forth
these
spéeches
:
Faulkonbridge
,
rise
vp
and
follow
me
:
Fate
and
good
chance
will
prosper
thée
.
This
séemed
to
be
the
voice
of
the
Fairy
Quéene
,
his
old
Nurse
,
being
still
most
carefull
of
his
liues
preseruation
,
as
it
was
indéed
;
which
no
sooner
ecchoed
in
the
eares
of
Lord
Faukonbridge
,
but
he
arose
from
vnder
the
trée
where
he
lay
,
and
being
ready
to
goe
forward
all
weake
and
sickely
as
he
was
,
he
espied
before
,
one
of
the
Fairy
Instruments
,
which
was
an
Ignis
Fatuis
,
the
fire
of
destiny
,
or
a
going
fire
,
which
by
nature
fully
leadeth
wandring
trauellers
out
of
the
way
.
This
as
his
guide
went
still
before
him
,
he
with
a
slow
pace
followed
after
,
not
intercepted
by
any
misaduenture
,
till
hee
came
to
the
Sea
side
,
where
being
ioyfully
arriued
,
in
good
time
he
beheld
a
Barke
sailing
by
,
to
which
he
made
shew
of
entertainement
,
as
one
desirous
to
be
taken
into
their
ship
,
and
to
be
conducted
in
to
some
better
resting
place
:
both
his
motions
and
his
intent
the
Mariners
soone
perceiued
,
whereupon
they
satisfied
his
desire
,
and
within
few
●aies
set
him
safely
vpon
the
next
inhabited
kingdome
,
which
was
the
happy
place
where
Clarabell
affoorded
such
bountifull
liberality
.
Being
thither
come
,
the
Countrey
people
and
such
as
beheld
his
perplexed
estate
,
led
him
as
diseased
as
he
was
vnto
Clarabels
Monastery
,
where
being
arriued
,
and
standing
shaking
at
the
gate
,
he
desired
for
his
sake
that
pardoneth
all
sinnes
,
and
requiteth
all
good
déeds
,
that
shée
would
with
the
oyle
of
her
skill
balme
his
grieued
paines
,
and
with
the
mercy
that
shée
fréely
bestowes
vpon
distressed
soules
,
cure
his
malady
.
Gentle
Clarabell
at
this
his
humble
request
,
called
him
in
,
leading
him
vp
inio
a
close
chamber
,
prepared
onely
for
the
comfort
of
such
wofull
creatures
,
in
which
place
after
shée
had
receiued
his
drooping
sences
,
and
by
the
vertues
of
the
same
ring
(
he
in
former
times
had
bestowed
vpon
her
)
recouered
his
wonted
health
,
shée
séeming
in
his
face
,
that
beauty
replenished
againe
,
which
before
that
time
shee
supposed
to
haue
séene
,
and
calling
to
remembrance
his
former
Fauour
,
shee
perfectly
knew
him
,
whereupon
seeking
to
imbrace
him
,
shee
sounded
in
his
armes
,
and
for
the
sudden
ioy
that
he
receiued
by
his
strange
returne
,
lay
for
a
good
season
in
a
dying
trance
:
but
being
by
great
diligence
recouered
,
they
recounted
each
to
other
the
wonderfull
Fortunes
passed
betwixt
them
,
from
the
first
loosing
of
one
another
to
that
houre
,
Likewise
he
spake
,
how
hee
neither
knew
Father
nor
Mother
,
nor
from
whence
he
descended
,
and
withall
(
opening
his
bosome
)
he
shewed
her
the
golden
Faulkon
,
by
nature
pictured
vpon
his
breast
,
which
when
shee
beheld
,
her
very
soule
,
as
it
were
eleuated
it selfe
to
Heauen
,
and
more
then
mortall
ioy
possest
her
heart
.
By
this
shee
knew
him
to
bee
her
onely
Sonne
,
begot
by
King
Richard
Cordelion
,
King
of
England
,
and
so
made
it
knowne
vnto
him
.
Which
when
good
Lord
Faukonbridge
vnderstood
,
he
in
the
true
duty
of
a
Sonne
newly
created
,
downe
vpon
his
knées
,
craued
her
blessing
,
and
in
great
humility
of
mind
gaue
thankes
to
heauen
,
in
that
it
was
his
Fortune
to
defend
his
mother
in
an
vnknowne
Land
,
from
so
many
dangers
,
and
shee
likewise
made
many
deuout
Orizons
to
God
,
that
in
his
mercy
had
so
preserued
them
,
and
in
this
manner
brought
them
most
strangely
together
.
