The
fourth
Booke
of
the
Historie
of
TREBIZOND
.
NO
sooner
was
the
Solemnitie
I
cannot
deny
,
but
the
fortune
of
that
Victorie
(
if
I
add
not
an
vnpropper
Title
to
the
successe
)
flattred
mee
with
better
hope
,
then
Astiages
tried
in
his
election
:
Yet
I
protest
,
Ambition
had
no
such
scope
,
either
to
elate
my
fra●…ltie
,
or
admit
of
their
proffers
,
although
peraduenture
with
my
owne
,
and
other
auxiliary
forces
,
I
might
haue
awed
both
forren
and
domestick
repining
:
So
that
I
made
slight
answer
to
them
,
and
vrged
againe
in
a
manner
denied
to
be
so
incombred
:
But
they
supposing
a
further
worthynesse
by
my
aba●…shed
drawing
backe
oppressed
me
with
reasons
of
their
loue
,
choice
,
and
necessity
,
and
compared
i●…
my
behalfe
abillity
,
vertue
,
and
deseart
:
I
againe
remembring
my
fathers
captiuity
,
and
the
trust
reposed
in
me
by
Artabanus
,
meant
not
to
committe
my
fayth
to
a
strange
gouernment
of
deceite
,
nor
betray
a
good
beginning
to
contumely
:
Therefore
gathering
togeather
the
best
reputed
amongst
them
,
I
thus
demeaned
my selfe
.
I
vnderstand
(
worthy
to
be
beloued
Lords
)
that
in
a
polliticall
body
,
what
Head
you
admit
,
because
if
that
exceed
not
in
all
aptnesse
,
the
i●…eriour
members
,
no
concord
can
continue
a
peace
,
nor
conformity
make
a
perfection
:
For
though
in
a
Monarchy
setled
in
many
degrees
of
discent
,
some
one
degenerating
from
the
vertue
of
his
predecessors
,
for
those
vertues
,
and
those
pr●…decessors
sake
is
not
all
togeather
impeached
:
yet
in
such
a
kingdome
,
as
this
,
if
the
place
be
〈◊〉
be
supplyed
with
a
man
from
the
choise
of
others
,
neither
must
your
obedience
be
abused
,
no●…
his
wilfulnesse
maintained
:
Let
not
then
my
defects
so
bewitch
your
opinion
with
a
sparing
regard
of
your selues
:
considering
all
that
is
,
or
should
be
in
such
a
person
(
though
I
weare
no
alien
and
might
liue
without
feare
of
any

)

For

a
King
must
as
well
seeke
to
haue
his
minde
guarded
with
vertues
,
as

Souldiers
;
and
if
it
be
pleasing
to
call
these
by
their
names
,
it
is
conuenient
to
know
them
by
their
natures

(

are

To
this
,
or
the
like
purpose
,
did
my
speeches
tend
,
whereby
I
somewhat
pacefied
the
first
enforcement
;
but
had
a
sparing
answere
concerning
Roxana
:
For
there
wanted
not
those
,
which
replyed
,
how
her
beautie
and
desert
merited
better
at
my
hands
,
then
so
slightly
to
interest
another
with
the
possession
of
such
life
,
and
excellency
;
wherupon
Zaleppo
a
cheife
peere
of
the
Realme
,
either
stomaching
my
carelesenesse
,
or
yet
making
me
beleeue
I
should
not
leaue
them
so
vnprouided
,
hasted
to
the
Pallace
;
and
returned
with
the
Lady
,
as
if
he
ment
to
exprobrate
my
simplycitie
,
that
would
ouerpasse
a
matter
of
such
worth
;
and
truely
(
most
gratious
Brizaca
)
such
was
the
goodlynesse
of
her
person
,
and
the
appearance
of
other
perfections
,
that
an
exact
amorist
would
not
haue
wished
for
better
becomming
:
To
be
plaine
,
deuine
,
influence
ouerruleth
mans
purposes
;
For
what
a
continuall
presence
might
haue
wrought
,
I
know
not
;
but
Fortune
euer
Ominous
vnto
me
,
(
except
in
my
now
happines
)
intercepted
this
progresse
of
affection
,
and
by
the
returne
of
Astiages
with
that
Monster
of
nature
Cleonidas
,
whom
I
shall
neuer
name
with
patience
,
ouerturned
both
the
foundation
and
the
building
of
my
desires
.
For
Astiages
stomaching
the
indignitie
of
the
But
to
decipher
the
variety
of
humours
,
which
the
accident
wrought
,
were
to
be
as
tedious
now
,
as
they
were
troublesome
then
:
Some
vnder
Colour
of
remorse
began
to
vpbraied
their
disobedience
,
that
so
soone
consented
to
the
deposing
of
a
King
for
a
casuall
effect
of
distemprature
:
some
ignominiously
cowards
began
already
to
prepare
for
a
flight
,
and
these
the
only
bosters
in
security
:
Some
absolutely
wicked
respecting
nothing
but
themselues
,
made
a
continuall
reuoult
to
the
stronger
side
,
a
polliticke
preuention
of
their
losses
,
though
the
obloquie
remained
:
some
with
a
kind
of
cunning
spared
both
a
reprehention
of
the
enemie
,
and
palpable
flattery
of
the
preuayler
:
some
stomached
the
deiection
of
their
houses
,
as
rather
wishing
their
owne
aduancements
,
then
repining
at
my
successe
:
some
neither
hopefull
to
others
,
nor
helpefull
to
themselues
,
onely
wondred
,
that
Persia
should
be
so
barren
to
elect
a
stranger
ouer
them
;
these
men
had
willingnesse
,
but
no
power
to
doe
hurt
;
some
true
Louers
of
the
Common-wealth
proclaimed
mee
Protector
of
the
Realme
,
and
maintained
the
charge
of
the
Warre
with
their
owne
,
and
the
Citties
Treasure
.
Now
was
I
some
what
perplexed
to
be
resident
amongst
so
many
vnstayed
dispositions
:
yet
vnwilling
to
receiue
notice
of
euery
slender
occation
,
I
applyed
my selfe
to
the
time
,
taking
a
generall
Oth
of
the
Cittie
,
wherein
I
reserued
the
hostages
of
diuers
Noble
men
:
besides
Roxana
remained
as
a
pledge
for
my
securytie
,
and
seemed
contented
,
so
her
fathers
life
might
be
spared
:
but
not
●…eaning
to
trust
my selfe
within
a
place
,
where
death
had
a
hundred
wayes
of
trechery
,
nor
desirous
to
be
affrighted
with
the
mutinis
and
turmoyles
,
to
which
the
people
vpon
euery
alteration
are
incident
:
I
chose
from
amongst
them
eight
Thousand
of
their
Principall
men
,
and
mingling
them
with
my
owne
forces
,
was
assured
no
man
durst
wisper
mislike
,
nor
slacke
his
manhood
,
when
it
came
to
the
tryall
:
with
these
I
encountred
Astiages
and
determined
to
put
all
to
the
deciding
of
one
day
;
which
he
tooke
in
very
good
part
,
and
made
me
beleeue
his
resolution
corresponded
:
For
presently
his
Armie
suffered
a
fourfold
diuision
,
one
part
whereof
attended
the
cariges
,
and
secured
certaine
passages
;
the
Reare
was
committed
the
trust
of
Cle●…nidas
:
the
Battaile
was
ordred
by
Pyragmon
a
brother
of
Zaleppos
,
and
the
Vann
(
crossing
the
method
of
former
directions
)
impatience
made
Astiages
himselfe
to
conduct
:
When
the
skout
Masters
of
our
Campe
certefied
thus
much
,
I
prepared
accordingly
,
and
would
willingly
haue
giuen
the
first
charge
,
in
hope
to
single
out
Astiages
or
Cleonidas
:
But
I
was
not
permitted
to
make
vse
of
such
forwardnesse
,
because
as
they
sayd
they
would
not
hassard
me
in
such
sorte
:
so
that
Alcastus
had
the
Honor
of
the
first
encounter
,
and
the
battailes
in
a
manner
stood
idly
outfaceing
one
another
,
by
reason
wherof
I
saw
Astiages
comming
gallantly
●…o
the
charge
:
he
was
easily
knowne
by
a
〈◊〉
on
the
Tope
of
his
caske
Crouned
and
crisped
,
and
Round
about
lay
many
liuing
Creatures
dead
,
out
of
his
mouth
issued
a
scrowle
contayning
this
Mott
,
In
Visu
Mors.
His
Troope
was
well
armed
▪
appoynted
;
and
as
it
should
seeme
,
encouraged
:
for
they
assaulted
the
strongest
Cataphracts
flancking
our
foote
,
and
performed
actions
worthy
the
best
report
;
but
too
too
preiudicate
he
was
so
quickly
engaged
,
that
Danger
lifted
vp
her
voyce
,
as
if
it
came
to
tell
him
,
Death
was
the
reward
of
Tirany
and
Pre●…umption
:
But
yet
such
was
his
fortune
,
that
exclayming
on
the
fugitiue
Anzitemus
,
the
banished
Anzitemus
,
the
traytor
Anzitemus
:
Anzitemus
quickly
presented
him selfe
,
though
neither
fugitiue
,
banished
,
nor
traytor
;
and
of
purpose
to
reba●…e
the
wrath
of
the
Souldiers
(
who
by
this
time
,
had
heawen
him
a
peeces
)
offered
a
priuate
Combate
,
if
vpon
the
determination
my
Father
might
be
deliuered
,
and
the
Articles
of
peace
renued
.
BVt
as
I
expected
the
returne
of
some
assurance
Now
had
I
time
to
condemne
the
trechery
,
suspect
some
plot
of
mischiefe
,
blame
the
vnable
companie
to
intercept
him
,
exclaime
on
the
cowardice
of
the
Souldiers
,
and
make
faultie
I
knew
not
whom
,
or
what
:
Yet
at
last
,
Aduice
recalled
mee
to
suppose
,
that
deferring
would
occasion
him
to
be
the
better
prouided
;
and
if
hee
once
escaped
,
to
bee
setled
in
his
strength
;
it
would
prooue
an
aduenture
of
more
danger
and
difficultie
to
disseise
him
:
I
therefore
allowed
Direction
no
further
scope
,
but
made
after
with
all
speede
,
and
embarked
in
the
rest
of
Cleonidas
owne
Ships
,
which
we
enforced
to
serue
our
turne
:
But
by
that
time
extremitie
was
a
little
moderated
,
I
began
to
cast
many
doubts
,
as
how
Cleonidas
was
attended
,
which
way
his
resolution
accelerated
,
and
whether
our
owne
company
were
sure
to
vs
or
no.
These
particulars
by
examining
the
Mariners
,
and
some
others
attending
in
the
Shippes
,
were
soone
answered
,
that
Cleonidas
had
eight
Shippes
,
and
would
with
out
doubt
,
make
toward
the
dry
Iland
.
Other
questions
were
of
lesse
importance
,
and
yet
expected
their
solutions
:
so
wee
cast
many
of
them
ouer
board
,
lerning
as
few
to
consume
or
hinder
(
as
wee
could
)
and
seeing
wee
possessed
twelue
,
nothing
was
thought
on
,
but
a
fortunate
encounter
;
which
ere
the
next
Sunne
had
mounted
to
the
height
of
his
maiestie
,
bade
vs
bee
our
owne
Iudges
of
:
for
wee
ouertooke
the
Pirate
,
who
mistaking
vs
for
his
owne
Company
,
somewhat
slacked
the
winde
,
and
in
a
manner
taried
our
approach
.
But
when
our
defia●…ce
produced
a
strange
contrarietie
,
neuer
made
his
mischeuous
conceit
any
shew
of
barrennesse
,
till
now
:
For
out
of
all
comfort
either
by
conuention
or
conuulsion
to
auoide
the
imminent
perill
,
hee
blasphemed
both
.
Heauen
,
Farth
,
and
Sea
,
storming
at
the
accident
,
as
though
hee
had
been
betrayed
to
destruction
,
which
almost
made
him
open
the
dore
to
death
with
his
owne
hands
:
yet
beeing
remembred
by
some
one
better
considerat
of
the
many
changes
depending
on
the
actions
of
men
,
hee
recalled
both
Iudgement
and
Courage
,
and
began
the
fight
in
such
manner
,
as
you
see
a
Feast
marshalled
to
make
the
statelyer
shew
by
good
order
:
For
our
losses
were
equall
a
long
time
;
and
as
a
man
fell
amongst
them
,
another
dropped
amongst
vs
:
as
their
Slinges
and
Arrowes
endamaged
vs
,
our
Stones
and
Engines
slaughtered
them
:
as
their
Fire-workes
were
throwne
with
effect
,
ours
were
not
cast
without
proofe
;
at
last
,
the
smallest
Barckes
felt
the
i●conuenience
of
many
dangerous
leakes
,
and
irrecouerably
suncke
with
their
Burdens
before
our
faces
;
whereupon
I
commaunded
to
grapple
,
fearing
indeed
the
Sunne
had
fled
from
our
wretchednesse
,
and
disdained
to
ouerlooke
so
ruthfull
a
spectacle
:
Besides
,
the
Night
like
an
vnwelcome
guest
comming
both
vnlookt-for
,
and
vnbidden
,
approched
to
disappoynt
vs
,
and
made
vs
enforce
our selues
seeming
most
brauest
,
when
wee
could
least
hurt
;
and
in
the
end
of
our
furie
beginning
a
new
worke
of
woefulnesse
.
But
Cleonidas
Brizaca
,
)
though
now
dearer
to
mee
,
then
my
dearest
life
,
yet
were
I
not
sure
of
the
felicity
collated
by
your selfe
,
I
would
not
againe
behold
such
another
Stratagem
,
no
not
in
hope
of
an
other
Brizaca
:
For
I
am
certaine
not
foure
men
liued
,
though
none
escaped
what
was
ten
times
worse
then
death
;
and
how
some
deuine
influence
ouerlooked
me
,
I
know
not
;
but
I
well
remember
,
vnlesse
I
should
haue
haled
death
with
my
ownehands
,
it
could
come
no
faster
toward
mee
:
Yet
it
was
my
chaunce
to
light
on
a
broken
peece
of
Cleonidas
owne
Ship
,
hauing
no
other
comfort
,
then
in
the
meditation
of
my
last
end
,
resoluing
neuer
to
pollute
my
then
cleane
thoughts
with
any
dregs
of
worldly
compounds
.
In
this
manner
Placandus
sounde
mee
,
and
within
a
while
againe
I
lost
my selfe
:
but
how
that
recouery
chanced
beyonde
my
desert
,
you
can
best
tell
,
that
haue
payde
the
ransome
of
my
redemption
.
Now
by
the
blessed
escape
of
those
dangers
,
I
sweare
(
quoth
Brizaca
)
you
haue
affrighted
mee
with
this
Discourse
;
But
seeing
it
is
your
pleasure
to
take
hold
of
a
new
Comfort
,
and
suppose
mee
the
Antidote
of
these
greeuances
:
Let
your
Hopes
be
neuer
interdicted
;
and
cursed
be
the
occasion
of
infringing
our
desires
:
which
was
vttered
with
such
vehemency
,
as
if
true
Loue
determined
to
tell
the
passengers
,
heere
was
his
Mansion
:
For
the
teares
distilled
from
her
eyes
,
as
if
the
hart
melting
within
had
sought
out
a
passage
for
the
moysture
:
So
haue
I
seene
thee
sweete
Rose
leaues
quickly
couered
with
a
Still
,
and
feeling
a
change
by
the
working
heate
,
drop
out
his
dellicate
sauour
amongst
vs
.
When
Anzitemus
saw
those
excellent
Lampes
filled
so
vnkindly
,
hee
stepped
vnto
her
,
and
meant
to
dry
them
with
his
kisses
:
but
not
preuayling
,
he
put
his
owne
vpon
them
like
Spunges
to
soake
them
vp
.
While
this
extasie
continued
,
diuers
matters
were
debated
betwixt
the
King
and
the
other
Princes
,
who
well
pleased
in
Anzitemus
discouerie
,
&
transported
to
the
admiration
of
his
Vertues
by
considering
his
worth
,
presently
made
offer
of
them selues
and
powers
,
to
the
effecting
whatsoeuer
was
expedite
for
his
Honour
.
Yet
(
quoth
Trezoboro
)
seeing
Cleonidas
hath
commenced
so
often
vntoward
occasion
of
remembrance
,
let
vs
exact
of
your
kindnesse
a
relation
of
his
estate
and
condition
.
What
can
I
deny
such
desert
?
(
answered
Anzitemus
)
and
though
you
haue
taxed
mee
with
a
dangerous
imposition
,
as
that
I
must
aggrauate
my
sorrow
with
the
repetition
of
the
cause
,
and
awake
Impartialitie
to
say
the
truth
of
my
Enemie
:
yet
doe
I
well
vouchsafe
to
be
thus
his
Historiographer
.
AFter
the
aged
Sagarenus
of
Thessaly
was
I
am
come
to
thee
(
thou
Honorable
Grecian
)
induced
,
as
much
by
the
hope
of
thy
vertues
,
as
fame
of
thy
actions
:
For
this
is
subiect
to
alteration
by
the
reporters
partiallytie
:
that
remaineth
like
a
squared
die
euery
way
cast
standing
vpright
,
I
will
therfore
firme
this
Anchor
on
the
sufficiency
therof
,
not
doubting
but
to
moue
some
spirit
to
add
to
his
owne
Honor
and
my
glory
,
when
he
shall
vnderstand
a
woman
,
a
Virginn
,
a
Queene
,
is
wronged
and
in
distresse
:
For
true
Nobillity
is
decipherd
in
those
famous
exploites
of
releefe
,
not
in
vaine
ostentation
or
enticementes
of
ambytion
:
So
long
then
hath
my
fathers
house
continued
in
prosperitie
,
that
either
the
Godes
enuied
our
established
mightynesse
,
or
Fortune
(
stomaching
the
razing
and
subuertion
of
Colosseum
a
Temple
once
dedicated
to
her
)
consented
to
haue
this
neglect
or
rather
contempt
punished
,
and
performed
it
with
the
indignytie
of
a
Trayterous
reuolt
,
at
such
a
time
,
as
when
Maiestie
scorned
the
presumption
of
a
Subiect
,
and
Loue
fled
from
an
vnkind
Compulsion
:
For
no
sooner
was
my
Fathers
Exequies
celebrated
,
but
my
estate
bade
mee
step
into
the
Chaire
of
Controulment
,
wherein
I
prepared
to
sit
with
the
applause
of
all
my
Subiectes
,
had
not
Cleonidas
,
an
ancient
enemie
to
the
peace
of
many
Prouinces
,
perswaded
an
inuiolate
perpetuity
,
if
I
would
admit
of
his
loue
,
which
(
as
he
sayd
)
proceeded
from
the
fountaine
of
true
Desire
,
and
acknowledging
my
Vertues
:
But
I
tooke
it
otherwise
;
that
the
greedinesse
of
Ambition
had
taught
him
a
polliticke
lesson
of
passhion
,
and
rather
hasted
him
to
counterfeit
his
liking
;
which
made
mee
impugne
the
forwardnes
,
and
not
without
some
tearmes
of
reprehention
(
yet
farre
from
reproch
)
dismissed
him
,
as
if
I
expected
a
further
corroboration
of
my
estate
.
At
last
vrged
againe
with
a
kind
of
presumption
,
or
rather
carelesnesse
of
my
Royaltie
,
in
a
quiet
manner
of
disdayne
I
assured
him
,
I
neither
feared
his
Mallice
,
nor
regarded
his
Fauour
;
but
in
despight
of
Confederats
,
would
haue
him
an
exemplary
obedience
to
the
rest
of
my
Subiects
.
This
he
tooke
in
great
reproch
,
and
soone
made
apparant
the
Barrennesse
of
the
ground
,
wherin
the
Seedes
of
his
loue
were
set
:
For
vnder
Colour
faction
against
me
,
and
for
the
better
countenancing
his
Treasons
seduced
,
and
with
great
summes
of
Mony
hired
Colphurnus
the
Giant
of
Taurus
to
be
his
Colleauge
:
a
man
or
rather
a
monster
respecting
nothing
but
disorder
,
and
louing
no
creature
saue
himselfe
:
a
man
neuer
terrefied
with
prodegies
,
allowing
religion
and
conscience
but
a
pollycie
to
restraine
the
forwardnesse
of
some
brauely
disposed
:
a
man
implacable
in
his
furie
,
and
ouer
insulting
if
chance
or
mischance
afforded
him
superiorytie
:
To
conclude
,
such
a
one
,
as
scorned
my
simplicity
,
and
mocked
Cleonidas
ambytion
:
yet
gaue
winges
to
this
attempt
,
rather
that
his
owne
greatnesse
might
appeare
,
then
for
any
willingnesse
to
assist
the
other
.
Thus
in
ouer-daring
manner
they
came
once
againe
to
demaund
my
consent
,
which
I
protest
I
now
reserued
more
charylie
,
and
reiected
him
as
rediculous
,
to
see
a
man
professe
kindnesse
,
and
expresse
hate
,
sue
for
fauour
,
and
threaten
despight
:
wish
peace
,
and
procure
Warre
:
propose
goodnesse
,
and
dispose
mischiefe
:
plead
for
remorse
,
and
determine
reuenge
,
vsing
me
as
some
in-descreete
fathers
their
Children
,
who
many
times
beat
them
without
cause
,
alleadging
Conscience
,
and
the
necessity
of
correction
:
But
when
Colphurnus
heard
my
deniall
,
(
onely
maligning
that
his
presence
wrought
no
better
with
mee
)
hee
stormed
beyonde
all
the
limits
of
reason
,
and
rayled
at
mee
,
as
if
the
name
of
a
Queene
had
neuer
been
heard
of
:
which
though
I
was
not
so
happy
to
preuent
,
yet
was
〈◊〉
so
bold
to
disclayme
.
Proud
beast
(
sayd
I
)
whom
the
Heauens
haue
excluded
,
and
the
Earth
supposeth
burdensome
,
though
thy
Senses
neuer
participated
any
ciuill
sound
,
and
the
name
of
Vertue
had
onely
the
estimation
of
such
a
word
;
yet
how
durst
thou
neglect
the
due
regard
to
a
Prince
,
which
the
vnreasonable
creatures
in
their
kinde
fulfill
?
But
seeing
Nature
sometimes
yeeldeth
to
Errours
,
that
the
perfect
may
be
discerned
by
the
vnperfect
,
I
allow
thee
a
Monster
amongst
Men
;
and
yet
resolue
,
neither
shall
thy
body
escape
vnpunished
,
nor
thy
soule
(
if
I
may
suppose
it
in
such
deformity
)
vnpardoned
.
Thinke
(
honourable
Lords
)
this
much
impeached
his
patience
,
and
hasted
them
to
trifle
no
longer
;
whereupon
they
spoyled
my
people
,
depopulated
the
Country
,
subuerted
my
Townes
,
and
weakned
my
Forces
;
which
with
my
owne
person
,
they
had
vtterly
defeated
,
had
I
not
tooke
aduantage
of
the
strength
of
a
Castle
,
wherein
I
remaine
at
this
instant
besieged
;
and
vnlesse
some
fortunate
Aspect
doe
heere
looke
vpon
mee
,
I
must
submit
to
the
vntowardnesse
of
a
heart-vexing
necessitie
,
(
as
for
the
place
,
I
suppose
it
for
a
time
impregnable
in
the
continuance
of
their
loyalties
possessing
it
,
)
and
not
without
some
strange
stratagem
,
or
surrender
to
be
quickly
commaunded
.
Now
suppose
much
more
might
haue
been
spoken
,
and
much
better
:
but
if
I
be
vnderstood
,
I
am
satisfied
;
and
if
assisted
,
comforted
otherwise
.
Nay
(
quoth
the
Heroijck
Armenus
)
by

In
this
Iollytie
made
Artaxata
her
returne
,
and
because
some
questions
may
be
enforced
,
concerning
the
Iorny
,
let
me
answere
;
such
was
her
imparadised
beautie
,
attractiue
comlinesse
,
gallant
youth
,
sweete
demeanor
,
and
all
gracing
vertues
that
he
seemed
rather
rauished
,
then
enamored
:
such
againe
was
his
seemly
person
,
firmnesse
of
manhood
,
portly
behauiour
,
delightsome
countenance
,
&
all
helping
Courage
,
that
she
remained
rather
ouercome
,
then
pleased
:
So
that
with
thankesgining
to
the
Gods
for
this
happy
acquaintance
,
and
seemely
desires
to
be
acceptable
one
to
another
;
they
concluded
the
Sunpathy
of
conditions
and
liking
,
should
tye

indissoluble
knot
of
After
the
report
of
your
Greekish
expedition
had
liberally
acquainted
vs
with
so
many
Princes
,
so
many
men
of
Vallure
,
as
accompanyed
Tlepinas
in
the
enterprise
,
and
were
then
resident
in
Taurica
:
one
time
amongst
others
,
as
I
was
obsequious
in
my
sacrifice
with
many
impetrations
,
that
they
might
be
propityatory
,
and
many
many
deuotions
to
expiate
my
offences
,
me
thought
the
Penates
beckned
a
silence
,
and
bad
me
hast
to
Cherona
for
redresse
,
wherin
sure
they
determined
my
deliuery
,
for
though
the
time
of
the
yeere
almost
warranted
better
weather
,
yet
that
night
and
all
the
next
day
fell
such
a
Snow
,
as
if
the
heauen
ment
to
shew
vs
some
varietie
:
now
by
reason
of
a
vault
letting
in
the
Riuer
to
the
vse
of
the
pallace
,
I
conceiued
how
to
escape
by
couering
my selfe
and
and
some
few
others
in
whight
Linnen
,
and
trulie
I
will
not
now
boast
,
but
with
an
extraordinary
life
did
I
then
passe
vpon
the
Bancke
,
which
the
enemie
had
cast
out
of
their
trenches
,
at
such
time
,
as
for
very
pittie
they
would
not
put
foorth
a
Sentinell
to
watch
,
and
so
escaping
to
a
place
of
more
trust
,
then
strength
,
I
made
such
prouision
as
my
hast
permitted
.
But
how
now
shall
we
enter
(
replyed
Armenas
.
)
As
for
that
,
(
answered
Artaxata
)
the
Influence
,
which
hath
hetherto
ouer
ruled
;
will
not
leaue
this
worke
imperfect
.
Now
by
the
protection
,
which
followes
vs
,
you
haue
ouer
reached
me
(
sayed
Armenus
)
in
resolution
,
yet
if
it
please
you
not
to
presage
mee
ill
by
feare
or
misdoubt
,
I
haue
thus
deuised
.
According
to
your
description
of
Colphurnus
,
I
geather
his
Courage
and
strength
to
be
great
,
but
his
presumption
and
pride
to
be
more
,
whrein
such
men
goe
forward
in
immanitie
,
not
that
they
are
vnuanquishable
,
but
because
opinions
is
terrefied
with
their
hugenesse
;
and
indeed
resemble
such
Weedes
,
which
while
you
handle
daintily
,
will
sting
till
you
smart
;
but
vse
them
with
violence
,
they
loose
their
force
and
efficasie
.
So
that
to
offer
priuate
combate
(
which
I
am
sure
his
insolency
will
rather
deride
,
then
reiect
)
may
be
the
easiest
course
(
though
you
may
suspect
not
the
safest
)
to
reuerse
your
feares
:
For
if
I
shrinke
vnder
the
burden
of
a
heauy
disaster
,
perswade
your self
the
old
Sagarenus
will
draw
all
Greece
to
your
ayde
:
or
els
your
patience
must
proue
an
vnkind
vertue
:
if
I
peruayle
,
what
would
you
desire
more
;
but
that
I
should
preuaile
?
Heere
a
still
manner
of
behauiour
continued
awhile
,
but
at
last
brake
vp
with
a
yeelding
chearefulnesse
:
for
it
rather
proceeded
from
the
amasement
at
his
Vertue
,
then
despaire
of
the
successe
;
and
yet
was
there
great
disparitie
betweene
them
.
Thus
they
approched
the
Enemies
Trenches
,
who
euery
day
expected
surrender
,
or
composition
;
little
suspecting
that
the
Queene
was
absent
,
or
that
these
new
come
troopes
were
worthy
the
name
of
a
Supply
;
imputing
it
rather
to
their
madnesse
and
folly
,
which
would
wilfully
put
them selues
into
danger
without
hope
of
recouery
:
Which
when
Armenus
perceiued
,
and
that
they
forbore
violence
against
them
,
the
next
day
like
a
Herrold
of
defiance
;
and
yet
summoning
a
Parlee
,
hee
in
this
manner
tryed
their
patience
.
Although
(
yee
abused
Cilitians
)
mans
malitiousnesse
hath
put
in
practise
infinite
prestigious
deuises
,
in
so
much
that
they
haue
not
desisted
to
rebell
against
Heauen
,
and
with
monstrous
Apostacie
to
fight
against
the
Gods
;
yet
haue
not
those
faults
passed
without
punishment
:
For
subuersions
of
Kingdomes
,
stratagems
amongst
Estates
,
alterations
of
Common-wealths
,
massacres
of
Armies
,
and
murdring
one
another
,
haue
followed
;
witnes
the
Titans
,
the
translation
of
the
first
Monarchy
,
and
such
infinite
Warres
as
haue
filled
the
world
with
teares
and
reproch
;
and
shall
no
doubt
,
appeare
as
an
instance
amongst
your selues
,
for
treason
,
immanity
,
and
perfidiousnesse
.
But
why
trifle
I
with
circumstances
?
It
is
to
thee
Cleonidas
I
speake
;
it
is
against
thee
thou
Tirant
Colphurnus
I
enueigh
:
the
one
a
wicked
Rebell
to
Souerainty
and
Beauty
;
the
other
,
a
monstrous
enemie
to
Maiestie
and
Vertue
:
and
both
as
scandals
and
reproches
to
Vallour
and
Honour
.
Was
it
euer
allowed
,
that
a
Subiect
durst
infringe
the
Lawes
of
Dutie
and
Alleagence
against
a
Woman
,
a
Virgin
,
a
Queene
?
Was
it
euer
heard
,
that
a
man
of
Vallour
,
durst
offer
violence
(
without
impeachment
of
villany
)
to
such
a
person
,
whose
vertuous
Renowne
hath
mooued
the
Heauens
to
pitty
her
,
as
though
you
had
been
framed
to
terrifie
the
world
,
and
sent
from
Hell
as
Monsters
in
nature
?
If
it
be
so
,
by
all
the
names
of
pretious
Goodnes●…
by
all
the
power
of
deuine
Beauty
,
by
all
the
worth
of
pearelesse
Artaxata
,
I
coniure
you
returne
from
whence
you
came
:
If
not
so
;
I
challenge
the
one
to
repent
his
Insolencie
;
the
other
,
to
reforme
his
Crueltie
.
But
if
my
speeches
resemble
a
loathsome
Potion
,
or
seeme
vnseasonable
,
as
attempting
to
compasse
with
a
slender
Oratorie
,
what
many
Thousands
of
armed
men
haue
fayled
in
.
Know
then
,
that
the
royall
Artaxata
taking
compassion
of
her
Subiectes
,
and
Kingdome
,
and
to
auoyde
further
effusion
of
blood
,
offreth
by
mee
the
first
borne
of
Sagarenus
of
●…hessalia
,
a
priuate
Combat
;
wherein
shee
submitteth
to
the
euent
,
so
Cleonidas
doe
therevpon
surcease
the
Warre
.
This
hath
the
Queene
HEere
the
Soldiers
stood
amased
betwixt
remorce
of
their
owne
faults
,
and
feare
of
their
commaunders
:
but
Cleonidas
stormed
the
more
,
as
remembring
the
desert
of
the
Queene
,
and
his
misfortune
to
be
reiected
,
or
disappointed
:
and
Colphurnus
raged
beyond
reason
and
(
according
to
the
insolency
of
such
persons
,
)
yeelded
to
the
motion
though
there
came
Tenn
such
Knights
,
wishing
the
dispatch
,
least
his
fury
might
put
in
practise
further
distemprature
But
litle
needed
such
hast
to
destruction
.
For
the
next
morning
came
Armenus
into
the
field
like
a
Knight
well
mounted
,
and
orderly
prouided
,
expecting
Colphurnus
,
who
made
the
more
hast
,
by
reason
Cleonidas
found
the
Armie
in
feares
at
the
accident
:
but
when
he
perceiued
the
Gyant
might
not
Ride
,
because
of
his
highnesse
,
he
quickly
yeelded
his
Horse
freedome
,
and
very
gallantly
attempted
the
onset
on
foote
:
beginning
the
Battaile
with
that
brauery
,
that
the
standers
by
expressed
a
very
gladnesse
to
be
eye
witnesses
of
such
spirit
and
life
;
yet
when
the
contention
grew
betwixt
wary
nimblenesse
and
furious
strength
,
and
that
the
continuance
detained
them
in
suspition
,
it
encreased
both
pittie
and
amasement
:
the
one
,
least
such
a
losse
of
Vertue
should
chance
by
ouermatching
:
the
other
to
see
a
Giants
force
equalled
;
who
indeed
pressed
Armenus
with
vnkindly
strokes
,
but
that
Heroijcke
dexteritie
auoyded
the
seasure
,
&
sometime
gaue
him
liberty
and
time
to
wound
the
other
,
whereby
he
spent
much
blood
,
and
increased
his
impatience
so
farre
,
that
he
fastned
a
blow
which
strucke
the
Prince
to
the
ground
,
to
the
terrour
of
both
the
Armies
;
who
in
their
heartes
wished
him
fortunate
,
and
shooted
for
●…y
at
his
recouerie
:
of
which
Armenus
tooke
the
aduantage
,
By
this
time
Artaxata
discouered
her selfe
,
and
like
the
Sunne
clearing
the
interposition
of
thicke
Cloudes
appeared
the
more
glorious
:
so
the
Souldiers
yeelded
to
mercy
,
and
the
people
submitted
as
being
before
enforced
;
and
because
they
would
giue
notice
of
their
dutie
for
a
beginning
,
with
the
same
Water
that
draue
the
Mill
,
they
drowned
the
Mill
,
quickly
chasing
Cleonidas
in
his
retreat
;
With
this
beginning
was
the
whole
Kingdome
pleased
,
so
that
the
Queene
might
publish
her
will
with
successe
,
and
Armenus
succeed
with
publication
This
had
yeelded
a
full
recompence
indeed
,
if
he
could
haue
preuented
a
double
mischance
:
The
one
in
suffering
Cleonidas
the
sonne
to
enioy
his
fathers
bad
conditions
with
his
estate
;
the
other
in
being
deuided
from
his
Royall
Queene
,
whose
life
was
now
brought
to
an
vntimely
period
by
a
heart
vexing
sicknesse
;
but
heerein
some
supernaturall
power
wrought
for
the
best
,
because
now
Childlesse
,
he
after
matched
with
Tolmiranda
the
Assirian
Sophy
,
by
whom
he
enioyed
the
fruites
of
his
body
in
great
towardlinesse
,
and
continued
the
rest
of
his
time
in
a
gratious
peace
,
had
not
time
ripened
the
wicked
disposition
of
Cleonidas
the
sonne
,
and
hate
as
it
were
innated
within
him
enforced
many
exorbitant
actions
,
setting
againe
These
warres
and
Armenus
life
had
end
togeather
,
wherupon
my
father
Artabazes
began
his
Royall
rase
at
such
time
,
as
this
Cleonidas
entertained
a
conceite
of
reuenge
by
this
course
of
Piracie
,
wherein
thirty
yeares
continuance
made
him
an
archmaster
;
and
custome
in
wickednesse
so
blinded
him
,
that
great
faults
were
reputed
slender
,
and
small
ones
not
so
much
as
imperfections
:
but
the
chiefest
proppes
too
this
wicked
life
;
were
the
confederacie
of
many
Princes
,
and
his
owne
wealth
vniustly
amassed
,
with
which
in
this
latter
time
he
maintained
thirty
well
appointed
Ships
,
and
amongst
other
Stratagems
(
as
you
haue
heard
)
was
beholding
to
the
warth
full
Nemesis
for
Artabazes
losse
,
but
whether
deuine
Iustice
tooke
my
cause
in
hand
,
I
know
not
.
For
the
best
part
of
my
Fortune
extended
to
see
him
cursing
and
raging
AT
this
Period
Anzitemus
made
a
stoppe
,
and
king
Zalby
with
the
Princes
acknowledged
the
delight
of
the
story
:
but
the
great
affayres
in
〈◊〉
●…portuned
a
further
matter
then
〈◊〉
,
wherupon
it
was
concluded
,
that
the
most
of
them
should
accompany
him
into
Armenia
,
as
well
to
secure
his
estate
there
,
as
to
contriue
,
how
Trezoboro
might
purchase
his
reconsiliation
with
Mengrelius
:
because
if
it
were
effected
,
it
must
be
done
by
Anzitemus
and
Brisacas
meanes
;
but
she
finding
,
how
this
businesse
would
detaine
them
awhile
togeather
,
ment
belike
to
make
some
vse
of
the
spare
time
,
and
therfore
like
a
true
Louer
,
stepped
into
the
first
path
of
Ielousie
,
&
could
not
forget
the
short
,
and
passhionate
description
of
Roxana
,
which
caused
her
to
vse
a
little
cunning
in
the
matter
,
and
by
making
pittie
a
branch
of
vertue
,
she
questioned
with
him
of
matters
of
Gouernment
,
of
Geneolagies
,
of
Petigrees
,
what
became
of
Mitrea
Astiages
Mother
;
and
lastly
,
as
if
it
fell
in
by
chance
of
discourse
,
of
Roxanas
yeeres
,
how
he
satisfied
the
Princes
,
and
how
he
could
neglect
such
a
proffer
,
as
the
mightie
Persia
contented
?
My
only
content
(
replyed
Anzitemus
)
mistrust
no
idle
disposition
:
For
deuine
appoyntment
hath
reserued
vs
one
for
another
:
yet
will
I
assure
you
,
such
was
,
and
I
hope
(
I
may
hope
)
such
is
the
preeminence
of
her
beautie
and
louelynesse
,
that
I
protest
excepting
the
incomparable
Brizaca
,
she
liueth
peerelesse
,
and
well
deserued
a
better
regard
,
then
my
businesse
permitted
;
and
because
you
haue
sturred
conceite
,
and
by
a
Rauishing
presence
encreased
that
sweete
delight
,
which
your
company
euer
affoordeth
:
I
will
once
be
humorous
in
a
slender
description
of
her
,
so
the
louely
Brizaca
finde
not
too
many
faults
,
&
apply
that
to
her
selse
now
,
which
I
am
sure
might
be
allowed
Roxana
then
,
What
Cunning
can
depaint
her
prayses
foorth
,
I
protest
(
quoth
Brizaca
)
you
haue
praysed
her
well
;
but
I
rather
allow
it
for
a
custome
of
Idlenesse
,
then
Necessitie
,
and
finde
it
vnbefitting
to
Iudgement
to
admit
of
ouerpalpable
Flattery
.
What
call
you
Flattery
(
replyed
Anzitemus
?
)
Assure
your selfe
,
that
the
Gods
framing
Man
to
as
finding
time
,
and
your
owne
vertues
to
perfect
the
worke
,
which
they
but
began
:
And
from
hence
proceedeth
our
resemblance
of
this
outward
substaunce
,
to
a
rich
Treasure
house
made
to
secure
more
richer
Wealth
:
Now
,
as
Wealth
is
dispersed
ouer
the
world
to
vse
and
good
order
,
and
without
that
lyeth
hid
like
Earth
within
the
ground
:
So
your-selues
are
left
in
the
world
to
comfort
and
benefit
,
according
to
the
fortune
of
him
,
that
possesseth
you
to
happy
purpose
.
Heere
then
resteth
the
cunning
and
grace
,
in
the
meanes
of
the
seisure
,
which
I
auouch
is
first
wrought
by
the
instrument
,
the
Tongue
:
For
though
some
haue
made
a
principle
,
that
a
womans
Eye
doth
guide
her
witte
,
yet
vnlesse
occasion
be
offred
to
discouer
the
liking
,
what
good
can
follow
.
But
to
speake
more
generally
;
Are
not
Presents
,
faire
Entreaties
,
and
the
causes
moouing
sound
the
deepest
places
in
the
calmest
Channels
.
Not
vnlikely
said
Anzitemus
,
but
because
a
villaine
doth
a
mischeife
with
a
Candell
,
shall
we
therfore
vse
no
light
?
doe
not
so
conclude
:
For
I
am
resolued
,
that
both
contract
of
Maryage
,
and
discouery
of
fancy
are
Dull
enforcements
without
lybertie
of
speech
,
and
ceremonious
complement
:
therfore
blame
me
not
for
praysing
Roxana
,
and
ratefying
,
she
was
a
deseruer
of
all
iustifiable
desires
:
yet
I
protest
the
sorrow
for
her
father
,
and
her
duety
in
the
same
,
made
me
to
study
to
pacefie
her
Corasiues
,
rather
then
display
the
Coulours
of
delight
;
and
when
I
was
vrged
to
solicite
a
new
Course
(
which
a
messenger
from
Artabanus
to
please
my selfe
emboldned
)
thereturne
of
Astiages
with
Cleonidas
quight
diuerted
me
,
and
so
I
reassure
you
,
she
was
vnacquainted
with
my
thoughts
,
and
left
to
be
a
Lady
of
wonderfull
expectation
.
IN
this
manner
did
some
dayes
post
after
their
Thus
was
Anzitemus
supplied
,
and
which
prooued
aduantagious
vnto
him
,
hee
bargayned
with
certaine
Merchants
by
great
for
his
conduct
,
neuer
troubling
the
Dukes
Nauie
,
nor
his
Prerogagatiue
to
muster
vp
new
forces
;
whereupon
with
all
conueniencie
they
prouided
him
fourty
well
appointed
Shippes
,
and
became
creditors
themselues
for
foure
Months
pay
and
victuals
:
In
the
meane
while
,
the
magnificent
Company
departed
,
and
King
Zalby
to
augment
his
Nephewes
honour
,
gaue
Philano
in
present
possession
the
Prouince
of
the
nether
Comagena
;
which
hee
in
great
courtesie
acknowledged
:
yet
modestly
respyted
the
ceremonies
of
his
enstawlement
,
till
his
returne
.
For
hee
would
questionlesse
accompany
Trezoboro
and
Anzitemus
into
Armenia
;
wherein
hee
wrought
a
double
contentment
.
First
,
the
Souldiers
and
Cittizens
were
ouerliberally
pleased
,
as
imputing
loue
and
care
toward
them
,
the
motiue
of
this
iourney
:
next
,
Anzitemus
apprehended
it
to
his
comfort
,
not
doubting
but
Philanos
presence
would
keepe
obedience
in
forme
:
besides
the
Treasure
returned
by
so
conuenient
a
Messenger
would
disburthen
him
of
care
and
chardge
to
make
a
particular
vioage
.
Now
are
all
thinges
ready
for
the
departure
,
and
the
Duke
accompanied
them
to
their
Shipps
committing
their
iorny
to
auspicious
influence
,
so
the
farwell
suffering
a
ceremonious
diuision
,
gaue
the
one
occation
to
returne
,
and
the
other
to
steppe
into
the
tract
of
worldly
felicitie
:
but
as
Anzitemus
studied
to
contriue
his
businesse
,
he
stopped
at
this
doubt
,
whether
he
should
make
directly
for
Armenia
,
or
take
Media
in
his
way
,
where
he
was
sure
of
Artabanus
ayde
,
and
the
Persians
loues
:
then
againe
remembring
the
Message
of
Euphamia
,
he
supposed
the
seedes
of
dissention
were
buried
past
growing
,
and
so
he
might
be
warranted
of
their
true
fayth
:
yet
for
all
this
to
giue
way
vnto
their
opinions
of
his
wisdome
&
gouernment
,
he
called
a
conference
,
to
which
were
especially
desiered
Trezoboro
,
Philano
,
Coranus
,
Bertosus
;
as
for
Ardemio
,
Mitranes
and
Obecam
,
they
thought
themselues
Honored
in
the
matter
,
besides
Placandus
(
whom
he
determined
to
fashion
to
the
world
,
and
bring
his
aged
head
with
Honor
to
the
graue
)
gloryed
in
the
fauour
Anzitemus
began
with
.
All
these
resolued
him
,
that
the
fame
of
Artabazes
death
,
and
Astiages
ouerthrow
,
was
altredy
diuulged
in
Armenia
,
and
that
the
dissentions
betwixt
Media
and
Persia
receiued
a
period
:
only
the
Maryage
of
Roxana
was
deferred
,
as
not
knowing
how
he
was
affected
,
and
therfore
without
doubt
he
might
determine
for
his
owne
kingdome
.
Wherupon
they
made
forward
apace
,
and
accordinge
to
their
expectation
without
difficulty
(
more
then
the
wonder
of
his
returne
,
because
they
supposed
him
lost
in
the
fight
with
Cleonidas
)
Landed
in
Armenia
at
the
Riuer
Erix
,
from
whence
by
easie
Iornies
ouer
the
Mountaines
,
they
came
to
Armamiranda
,
where
Euphamia
was
resident
;
to
whom
the
people
vpon
report
of
Anzitemus
ariuall
,
had
flocked
on
heapes
,
desiring
her
to
stand
as
a
guard
betweene
them
and
his
displeasure
,
considering
their
obedience
since
,
and
the
reuenge
vpon
Gestarius
,
who
had
opened
the
Dore
of
the
last
troubles
.
To
these
she
onely
wished
the
continuance
of
their
loyalties
:
but
to
certaine
persons
drawne
into
the
faction
with
Olmus
,
and
of
inueterate
malice
for
Cleonidas
,
(
who
made
her
beleeue
they
would
be
warranted
their
safety
)
shee
absolutely
denied
to
bee
compelled
:
For
if
they
determined
truth
,
and
vndissimuled
duety
,
no
doubt
her
Sonne
(
though
Artabazes
losse
was
irkesome
to
them
both
)
knew
what
belonged
to
a
remedilesse
matter
.
But
little
needed
these
suspitions
;
for
Anzitemus
knowing
that
strange
courses
bred
as
strange
alterations
;
and
that
in
a
good
beginning
consisted
the
hope
of
successe
,
proclaymed
a
generall
Pardon
,
and
establishing
of
all
men
in
their
estates
,
offices
,
and
places
,
that
would
ratifie
his
succession
.
With
this
comfort
was
the
whole
Kingdome
THus
was
Anzitemus
and
Brisaca
solemly
inuested
,
and
looking
backe
with
regard
vpon
the
worth
of
Euphamia
,
affoorded
her
the
dignities
of
her
Widdowhead
,
and
permitted
her
the
fruition
of
many
Pallaces
and
Priuiledges
:
besides
,
in
all
Assemblies
there
was
a
Throane
erected
somewhat
higher
then
his
owne
,
that
the
people
might
know
,
shee
was
the
Kings
Mother
,
and
how
highly
hee
desteemed
her
.
Now
though
Fortune
dad
taken
off
the
maske
of
Despight
,
and
shewed
him
a
countenance
of
fauour
;
yet
neither
seemed
hee
vaine
or
elated
,
but
reposed
,
and
indeed
moderating
that
excesse
of
ioy
,
which
sometimes
many
Princes
after
their
aduancements
,
cannot
hide
.
But
it
may
be
the
meditation
of
his
great
affaires
reduced
him
,
because
three
especiall
matters
lifted
vp
their
heads
to
be
seene
;
and
by
being
seene
,
to
be
remembred
.
The
first
,
was
the
discharge
of
the
Zagarians
,
and
dismissing
Philano
,
which
hee
royally
performed
with
a
Princely
ouerplus
,
confirming
the
League
,
and
wishing
,
if
the
Persians
and
Medians
did
not
agree
,
to
hearken
after
Roxana
:
but
when
Trezoboro
came
to
take
his
leaue
of
his
Friend
,
it
exceeded
a
Passion
,
and
the
louely
Philano
truly
deciphered
the
force
of
Affection
:
So
deuiding
a
Ring
betweene
them
,
because
subiect
to
aduentures
,
they
might
be
sure
not
to
be
vnknowne
,
they
parted
in
body
,
but
the
loue
of
their
hearts
ended
not
in
death
.
The
Ring
was
artificially
wrought
,
and
enclosed
with
an
enameled
Scalloppe
made
of
a
Stone
taken
from
the
eyes
of
a
Panther
;
but
deuided
,
was
not
to
be
matched
without
the
other
:
both
parts
had
impression
with
their
owne
bloods
from
this
counterchangeable
Mott
;
Nonaliud
admittit
.
The
second
proceeded
from
his
care
to
Artabanus
,
to
whom
hee
had
engaged
him selfe
,
especially
about
the
redaction
of
both
the
Kingdomes
to
one
Monarchy
:
But
this
was
happily
without
further
trouble
determined
;
for
not
three
dayes
before
Philano
departed
,
the
Embassadors
of
Media
and
Persia
ariued
,
and
after
the
ceremonie
of
gratification
from
all
estates
was
ended
,
they
shewed
him
a
Commission
contayning
foure
principall
poynts
.
First
they
tyed
them selues
to
yeerely
Tribute
,
as
acknowledging
him
the
life
,
by
which
their
polliticall
bodyes
did
mooue
in
peace
:
The
second
exposed
a
perpetuetie
of
Alleageance
:
for
Loue
and
Dutie
was
but
a
slender
counterpoise
to
Life
and
Honour
,
which
hee
had
so
often
aduentured
for
their
sakes
:
The
third
concerned
the
Mariage
of
Roxana
with
Darius
Artabanus
Sonne
:
The
last
entreated
for
Cleonidas
,
whom
destruction
had
miracuiously
spared
,
&
his
owne
penitency
much
bettered
:
To
these
he
breifly
made
answere
,
the
Tribute
he
did
disclaime
,
as
foreseeing
such
a
Challenge
might
either
grow
to
intrusion
,
or
moue
their
deniall
,
so
heere
after
debate
be
the
destruction
of
one
another
.
Their
loue
and
frendshippe
he
much
relyed
vpon
:
The
Maryage
of
Roxana
he
anulled
,
dilating
besides
the
hapinesse
depending
:
but
concerning
Cleonidas
Anzitemus
,
interceded
,
as
resolued
the
differences
betweene
them
,
were
not
so
slightly
to
be
ouerpassed
,
The
third
and
espetiall
matter
of
importance
consisted
of
many
diffused
partes
,
and
therefore
intermixed
the
more
trouble
to
vniforme
it
:
and
this
was
,
how
to
reconcile
Trezoboro
to
his
father
,
considering
the
inconueniences
proiected
from
the
prophesie
:
First
the
Emperors
goodwill
hung
in
suspence
,
for
he
that
feared
before
they
were
borne
,
could
not
but
tremble
now
they
were
men
;
and
of
abillitie
to
defend
themselues
:
Then
the
returne
of
Kalucky
was
doubtfull
vpon
the
notice
of
the
deceite
:
Thirdly
the
discussing
of
the
Oracle
finding
part
true
in
the
Maryage
of
Brizaca
must
needes
hasten
dipleasure
:
Next
the
mislike
of
Opacus
,
because
his
daughters
had
so
presumed
,
would
sturre
vp
some
troubles
:
Last
of
all
the
ielosie
of
himselfe
,
as
the
Principll
cause
of
mischeife
:
For
commonly
men
feare
most
the
blow
,
that
commeth
last
,
and
the
Oracle
concluded
,
that
Mengrelius
must
be
slaine
by
his
daughters
Husband
.
THese
particulars
were
orderly
debated
:
at
Capadocia
:
Curatsax
of
〈◊〉
:
Phorcanus
of
pontns
,
Schidrothemis
of
Syno●…
,
Rhemus
of
Paphlagonia
and
Mithridates
of
Taurica
all
Kings
,
confederats
,
and
Tributaries
:
amongst
his
naturall
subiects
Carembello
Duke
of
Raganda
supposed
the
fauorit
of
the
widdow
Emprese
,
Putrasso
,
Hardubax
,
Marquidan
,
Theoricus
and
Deiphoebus
,
were
principall
:
diuers
others
of
great
worth
and
Nobillytie
added
to
the
state
by
their
presence
:
as
for
his
Sister
Pisana
she
was
long
since
inuested
with
the
Royalties
of
Russia
,
whereby
a
Crosse-mariage
encreased
many
.
Friendes
resembling
a
Sheafe
of
Arrowes
,
which
bound
togeather
are
not
to
be
broken
;
but
disioyned
,
are
subiect
to
a
slender
furie
.
When
Bertosus
perceiued
the
Emperour
determined
to
set
foorth
the
ampliation
of
his
glory
;
and
that
this
stately
shew
was
of
purpose
to
make
apparant
his
greatnesse
,
hee
not
much
mislyked
the
same
,
though
it
tended
to
cause
him
to
vse
the
more
reuerence
,
wherupon
after
the
ceremony
ended
,
and
that
their
expectation
had
wrought
a
still
silence
,
he
layed
open
the
recordes
of
admiration
,
and
red
thus
distinctlie
before
them
all
:
Subiects
(
mighty
Emperor
)
entring
into
great
and
important
actions
are
to
consider
,
whether
they
be
commodious
to
the
Common-wealth
,
Honorable
to
themselues
,
easie
,
or
at
least
not
difficult
to
be
effected
,
and
respectious
for
whom
,
or
against
whom
they
deale
:
but
Princes
,
or
Princes
Embassadours
by
all
constitutions
,
are
licensed
to
deliuer
their
Message
freely
,
and
to
be
answered
or
dispatched
honourably
.
This
I
am
mooued
to
inferre
,
because
of
the
strangenesse
,
wherewith
you
must
be
acquainted
;
yet
such
may
be
my
fortune
,
that
I
shall
rather
seeme
a
trusty
Mercury
from
Heauen
,
then
a
tedious
Herrold
on
Earth
:
But
howsoeuer
,
this
is
the
will
of
the
Gods
,
and
the
pleasure
of
the
Armenian
Kinge
.
Although
the
first
inconuenience
in
the
Oath
to
Kalucki
hath
produced
strange
alterations
,
and
in
a
manner
sequestred
you
from
the
happinesse
incident
to
other
Princes
,
but
quite
debarred
these
from
the
comfort
of
a
naturall
Successor
:
yet
if
you
can
be
thankefull
to
supernaturall
Power
,
and
louing
to
your selfe
in
the
receipt
,
I
offer
you
a
rich
and
inestimable
Present
.
To
be
more
plaine
,
I
bring
you
glad
tydings
of
a
Sonne
;
and
to
these
of
a
true
Prince
,
yea
such
a
Prince
,
that
you
may
presume
on
Deuine
bountie
,
and
Worldly
felicitie
,
considering
his
preseruation
,
and
perfection
.
With
that
hee
vnfolded
the
wrapped
vp
secret
of
Trezoboros
and
Brizacas
infancie
,
his
owne
troubles
in
their
bringing
vp
,
the
theft
of
Cleonidas
,
their
Shipwracke
at
Sea
,
the
aduenture
of
Anzitemus
,
the
Mariage
of
Brizaca
,
and
the
now
setled
greatnesse
of
Armenia
,
where
the
heroijcke
Trezoboro
expecteth
the
loue
of
a
Father
,
and
is
ready
to
performe
the
duty
of
a
Sonne
.
But
ere
Bertosus
had
fully
concluded
,
such
was
the
excessiue
ioy
of
the
Court
,
and
the
ioy
exceeding
all
ioyes
of
Arcabella
,
that
Mengrelius
was
quite
disappointed
,
and
in
a
manner
compelled
to
the
same
passion
,
least
he
should
seeme
a
contrary
,
amongst
so
many
pleasures
:
wherupon
he
rewarded
Bertosus
according
to
his
estate
,
and
confirmed
the
priuiledge
of
his
place
:
yet
loth
to
detaine
him
longer
,
then
was
conuenient
for
feare
the
people
might
immagin
him
Ielious
of
the
newes
,
he
tooke
order
for
his
dispatch
,
and
appoynted
Mithridates
Prince
of
Taurica
to
accompany
him
to
Armenia
,
&
attend
on
Trezoboro
to
Trebizonda
:
but
neither
Arcabella
nor
Ballutasa
could
so
slightly
dismisse
him
,
the
one
like
a
true
Mother
asking
diuers
questions
touching
her
Children
,
wherin
she
was
much
satisfied
,
yet
beginning
againe
and
againe
asked
many
things
worthy
of
selution
:
the
other
like
a
gallant
Princes
seemed
to
glory
in
the
action
,
and
because
successe
answered
her
expectation
,
was
very
proud
to
be
author
of
so
Famous
a
deed
,
nor
left
she
to
enquire
of
the
manner
of
the
deliuerie
,
when
Gellida
and
Perinthum
caryed
them
into
Capadocia
,
for
which
seruice
she
had
contriued
to
Crowne
the
eldest
Queene
of
Phrigia
,
and
to
match
the
other
to
Omphalus
King
of
Lidia
:
but
the
desier
to
see
the
Princes
hastneth
Bertosus
returne
,
who
comming
to
the
Empresses
tooke
his
leaue
with
gladnesse
&
,
was
glad
to
leaue
them
in
such
a
taking
:
but
parting
with
the
Emperor
,
it
seemed
rather
a
farrewell
of
necessitie
,
then
delight
,
the
manner
wherof
at
his
returne
he
imparted
to
Trezoboro
and
Anzitemus
,
In
this
sort
receiued
his
iorny
a
limitation
,
and
the
faithfull
dispatch
thereof
moued
Anzitemus
to
remember
,
that
vertue
meriteth
a
recompence
,
and
Honor
florisheth
with
the
countenance
of
the
Prince
,
wherfore
he
determined
to
aduance
both
Bertosus
and
Coranus
:
had
not
Trezoboro
entreated
him
not
to
entercept
his
good
meaning
toward
them
,
considering
they
were
subiects
of
a nother
kingdome
,
and
how
much
they
were
endeered
THus
was
she
left
to
the
fruition
of
her
ratefied
mightinesse
,
and
the
Prince
setteth
forward
toward
Trebizonda
,
but
vnderstanding
the
Court
the
Prophecy
;
but
a
very
bitter
taste
followed
,
and
it
represented
a
Toyle
,
from
which
a
man
striuing
to
escape
,
tyed
himselfe
the
faster
therein
.
For
no
hope
remayned
,
but
in
descrediting
the
latter
part
,
considering
his
miraculous
preseruing
,
and
Sisters
Mariage
had
giuen
life
to
the
first
;
yet
remembring
time
must
haue
his
course
,
and
all
was
to
be
committed
to
highest
direction
,
hee
onely
framed
himselfe
to
giue
no
cause
of
mislike
,
nor
by
any
demeanour
to
mooue
his
Father
to
renew
his
thoughts
of
the
Oracle
.
As
these
particulars
had
a
kind
of
mutinous
passage
,
hee
passed
still
forward
,
and
came
at
last
within
sight
of
the
Cittie
,
which
indeed
prepared
a
day
of
solemnitie
for
his
welcome
,
and
that
neither
durst
the
Emperour
interdict
,
nor
Trezoboro
gainesay
,
least
he
might
seeme
the
occasion
of
a
preposterious
beginning
,
so
that
he
was
enforced
to
moderate
that
spirit
of
Maiestie
,
which
his
Heroicall
disposition
euer
maintained
,
and
saluted
the
companies
in
order
as
they
came
with
a
still
behauiour
,
&
when
the
applause
of
the
people
seemed
more
then
a
Triumph
,
he
went
forward
in
quietnesse
,
vntill
the
Emperor
presented
himselfe
,
who
hastned
by
his
wife
and
mother
,
(
but
especially
least
in
the
retradance
the
people
might
immagin
strange
matters
)
was
now
to
giue
and
receiue
the
reciprocall
comfort
proceeding
from
so
blessed
a
greeting
.
Heere
Trezoboro
dismounted
,
and
with
obedient
demeanor
prostrated
himselfe
to
Mengrelius
,
who
could
not
but
like
a
father
,
make
his
ioy
the
more
appeare
;
&
like
a
Prince
reioice
with
his
subiects
for
such
a
recouery
:
So
he
tooke
him
in
his
Armes
with
teares
,
and
conducted
him
to
Arcabella
&
Ballutasa
with
gladnesse
,
but
they
seemed
transported
to
a nother
world
with
his
sight
and
seasure
,
and
as
when
the
Sunne
at
his
going
downe
is
taken
into
heauen
from
the
sight
of
the
earth
,
so
was
the
Prince
conueyed
from
the
rest
betweene
them
into
a
new
glory
,
and
sence
reioycing
delight
,
which
continued
in
firme
strength
(
without
so
much
as
any
mans
whispering
the
least
mistrust
of
alteration
)
vntill
the
cause
of
their
now
goodnesse
effected
the
troubles
ensuing
,
by
reason
Kalucki
made
acquainted
with
this
discouery
,
layed
claime
to
the
Empire
and
came
in
person
to
plead
his
right
:
but
we
must
take
a
progresse
into
another
Kingdome
,
before
he
be
ready
to
come
hither
.
HOwsoeuer
Historiographers
haue
written
of
This
was
soone
perceiued
by
Mullumalla
cheife
Empres
(
for
their
coustomes
allowed
many
wiues
No
sooner
had
the
vertue
of
Kalucki
shewed
her
excellencie
,
and
the
people
more
and
more
had
him
in
estimation
,
whereby
the
new
established
Barka
was
to
determine
something
for
his
recompence
and
aduancement
,
but
a
certaine
ielowsie
of
his
insinuating
into
the
fauor
of
the
kingdome
,
and
misconstruing
his
royall
birth
and
right
to
Trebizond
,
which
all
sortes
began
already
to
pittie
,
and
so
to
fauor
,
slacked
his
loue
toward
him
,
&
weakned
the
strength
of
his
willingnesse
to
aduance
him
,
nor
leaft
his
conceite
so
:
but
a
further
peeuishnesse
whispered
,
that
he
sought
to
rob
him
of
his
subiects
hearts
:
now
when
strange
humours
were
entertained
,
strange
distempratures
followed
,
in
so
much
that
he
one
while
resolued
quite
to
dismisse
him
,
as
hauing
no
further
occation
to
imploy
him
,
but
that
he
thought
was
too
inhumaine
,
and
his
Subiectes
would
neuer
condiscend
,
vnlesse
it
were
to
recouer
his
Empire
:
Another-while
hee
studied
to
proportion
him
some
remote
corner
to
inhabit
in
:
but
heere
hee
mistrusted
,
it
would
be
reputed
a
disgrace
,
as
proceeding
from
a
wearisomnesse
of
his
Company
,
and
then
the
opportunitie
to
thinke
it
a
disgrace
,
might
cause
him
to
reuenge
it
,
as
if
it
were
a
disgrace
indeed
.
Anon
hee
imagined
to
send
him
further
,
vnder
colour
of
an
honourable
atchieuement
against
India
;
but
suspecting
the
increase
of
his
Renowne
in
successe
,
he
hapned
by
the
way
on
another
doubt
,
a
reuolt
by
the
same
Armie
committed
to
his
charge
.
Thus
did
the
vncertaintie
of
the
best
course
,
inhibit
the
certaintie
of
any
course
,
till
at
last
the
very
feare
of
Alteration
,
encreased
euery
Conceit
to
preuent
the
feare
:
and
when
no
meanes
of
contentment
as
for
his
Followers
,
the
head
beeing
cut
off
,
the
rest
of
the
members
would
quickly
perish
:
Yet
lay
hee
awhile
in
waite
to
intrappe
him
in
some
haynous
mulct
or
other
;
but
fayling
:
hee
concluded
by
secret
callenture
,
or
other
diuelish
imposture
to
finish
his
tragedy
.
This
was
neither
hid
with
so
close
a
veyle
,
but
Kalucki
perceiued
the
Emperours
incongruent
behauiour
toward
him
;
nor
debated
with
such
trust
,
but
Mullumalla
foresaw
the
mischiefe
,
which
shee
not
much
repined
against
,
because
shee
had
so
good
a
ground
to
worke
vpon
,
and
so
might
raise
her
ambition
,
faitsfie
her
loue
,
and
suffulciate
her
glory
:
yea
though
the
life
of
the
Emperor
payed
for
it
,
and
although
her
owne
spirit
would
questionlesse
haue
ripened
conceit
to
satisfie
her
desires
(
for
what
cannot
;
nay
what
will
not
,
a
woman
,
a
Prince
,
and
in
loue
,
effect
:
)
yet
Fortune
added
winges
to
her
intiention
,
and
now
helped
to
rowle
the
stone
,
which
at
last
tombled
Barka
out
of
the
world
:
For
as
the
Emperor
vnder
Coulor
of
fauour
would
needes
carry
Kalucki
to
the
Pallace
of
Concubines
,
but
of
purpose
to
make
their
beuties
a
baite
to
allure
him
,
&
so
by
enfringing
the
seuere
edict
in
that
kinde
,
to
haue
cause
of
accusation
against
him
:
the
Empresse
tooke
occation
of
passage
by
the
walke
,
through
which
Kalucki
must
returne
to
the
Court
,
and
perceiuing
he
had
been
left
alone
amogst
them
to
make
tryall
of
his
abillytie
in
resisting
the
temptation
,
she
somwhat
cunningly
asked
those
about
her
,
who
it
was
,
that
presumed
so
to
come
within
the
Limitts
of
these
places
sacred
,
and
prohibyted
;
and
from
whence
he
had
now
brought
him selfe
?
Answer
was
made
,
it
was
the
Prince
Kalucki
whom
the
Emperor
licensed
to
view
the
other
Pallace
:
that
will
I
know
fayth
she
from
himselfe
,
call
him
therefore
heither
,
least
his
ignorance
by
being
a
stranger
breed
further
errour
:
But
when
Kalucki
perceiued
,
it
was
the
Empresse
,
his
inward
motions
were
at
variance
,
and
the
very
bloud
of
his
vaines
seemed
troubled
,
like
as
Wine
riseth
into
bubles
,
when
a
lumpe
of
Sugar
is
throne
into
the
Glasse
,
or
is
sturred
with
a
greater
strength
:
yet
come
he
must
,
and
fall
downe
he
must
,
and
rise
againe
he
must
,
&
answer
many
questions
he
must
,
as
how
the
Emperor
pleased
to
grace
him
?
how
he
liked
the
Ladyes
,
and
their
attiyre
?
whether
he
knew
the
fault
of
his
being
there
?
and
many
other
to
the
same
purpose
:
all
which
he
answered
like
himselfe
a
man
,
a
Prince
,
and
vnmoued
with
nouelties
.
At
last
seeing
the
prerogatiue
and
custome
had
taught
her
attendants
to
stand
so
remote
,
that
they
were
out
of
hearing
,
she
left
thinges
impertinent
to
giue
him
notice
,
there
was
some
good
toward
him
,
and
preparing
his
attention
,
vsed
these
speeches
.
Before
I
enter
(
thou
honorable
Stranger
)
into
the
channell
of
my
Discourse
,
let
mee
giue
thee
notice
of
the
Countries
wherein
wee
liue
,
and
the
Customes
wee
obserue
.
The
first
mighty
,
large
,
rude
,
vncitied
,
and
in
many
places
deformed
:
yet
somewhat
capable
of
Discipline
,
and
assured
Friendes
to
Vallour
:
The
latter
,
not
greatly
Religious
,
nor
caryed
away
with
the
nicetie
of
Vertue
,
seldome
maintayning
Iustice
:
For
the
stronger
Arme
supprefseth
a
weake
;
and
hating
,
or
at
least
neglecting
any
Stranger
whatsoeuer
,
onely
your selfe
may
boast
of
great
happinesse
in
the
loue
of
the
people
,
and
opinion
of
the
better
sort
,
(
though
I
must
confesse
farre
short
of
your
desert
)
and
presume
on
exceeding
specialitie
neuer
affoorded
any
other
,
but
withall
,
as
you
see
a
Fire
of
filthy
weedes
to
giue
a
glorious
light
,
but
to
leaue
a
long
time
after
a
most
odious
stincke
:
So
hath
this
applause
caried
a
pleasant
shew
toward
you
;
But
no
lesse
then
your
life
must
answer
the
displeasure
arysing
from
the
same
:
For
the
Emperour
intoxicated
with
a
violent
suspition
against
you
,
trembleth
at
the
feare
,
and
hath
concluded
alreadie
your
death
;
What
resteth
now
,
but
preuention
?
That
cannot
be
wrought
but
by
my
meanes
:
nor
can
I
proceed
,
but
by
your
consent
,
and
respect
of
such
a
Friend
,
as
must
and
will
saue
your
life
.
Be
not
therefore
curious
of
my
mislike
to
Barka
,
breach
of
Vowes
,
affection
to
your selfe
,
and
such
petty
questions
.
But
suppose
after
approoued
goodnesse
,
I
shame
to
see
thee
subiect
to
apparant
inhumanitie
;
now
resteth
in
thy
choyce
either
life
or
death
.
To
this
,
a
hundred
seuerall
conceiuing
mee
a
right
,
neither
is
your
Courage
,
nor
Wisedome
so
rebated
,
but
you
can
put
a
difference
betwixt
a
happy
life
,
and
miserable
death
.
This
sodaine
breuitie
,
but
full
of
substaunce
,
and
so
well
graced
with
a
maiestical
Spirit
,
brought
with
it
her
accustomed
companion
Amazement
:
yet
because
there
was
nothing
heere
inferred
(
except
the
loue
of
the
Empresse
)
which
hee
before
suspected
not
,
his
Answere
seemed
the
redier
;
and
with
addition
of
extraordinarie
demeanour
,
strengthened
her
liking
the
rather
toward
him
.
For
when
he
saw
that
counterpleading
would
rather
shew
a
Demissnes
,
then
Conscience
;
and
that
all
good
courses
were
vnprofitable
with
vntractable
people
,
hee
graciously
submitted
to
her
behests
,
not
without
protestation
,
that
her
Beautie
and
magnificense
,
had
attracted
his
regard
more
,
then
desire
of
any
Greatnesse
:
So
that
hee
rested
like
Wax
moulded
with
her
warme
hand
,
ready
for
what
impression
it
pleased
her
to
bestow
onely
hee
impetrated
,
that
if
it
were
possible
,
hee
might
be
exempted
in
the
bloody
attempt
;
because
hee
would
not
pollute
his
hands
with
a
Princes
massacre
.
This
shee
tooke
as
an
excellent
part
of
Generositie
:
So
that
as
much
inflamed
with
his
Vertues
,
as
Person
,
shee
dismissed
him
to
his
owne
care
,
and
setled
her selfe
to
the
strange
course
of
the
Emperours
death
;
which
ledde
her
vp
by
casier
staires
,
then
she
could
imagine
.
For
the
Emperor
fully
resolued
to
his
murder
compacted
with
Chamus
,
Ilion
,
Iodda
and
Tarachim
to
be
the
executioners
:
but
Tarachim
either
a
secret
instrument
of
the
Empresse
,
or
taking
remorce
to
see
iniustice
rebell
against
vertue
or
pollytickly
forecasting
for
his
owne
priuate
,
as
perceiuing
to
what
end
her
desires
tended
:
once
againe
discouered
the
substance
and
circumstance
of
the
cause
to
Mullumalla
,
and
that
he
wanted
nothing
but
a
time
to
put
it
in
practise
.
And
hath
he
no
body
(
saith
she
)
to
make
the
slaue
of
wickednesse
,
but
a
man
endeered
to
vs
for
his
Nobillytie
of
blood
,
and
euer
till
now
the
seruant
of
Honour
and
vertue
?
Beleeue
me
I
thinke
you
are
bewitched
so
strangly
to
be
drawne
into
your
owne
ruines
,
for
what
trust
can
he
repose
in
you
,
that
can
be
hired
with
Mony
to
doe
mischeife
:
without
question
it
is
but
a
plot
of
tryall
against
your selues
,
who
will
euer
make
account
of
the
Murderers
of
a
Prince
;
yea
such
a
Prince
,
to
whom
the
kingdome
must
yeeld
the
Tribute
of
your
peace
:
but
if
there
were
possibillytie
to
belecue
,
that
any
many
durst
immagin
such
a
thought
:
by
the
silence
of
the
night
I
sweare
,
were
he
not
my
Emperor
,
I
iudge
him
worthy
of
death
in
his
base
submission
to
such
villany
,
therefore
Honorable
Tarachim
deceiue
not
thy selfe
in
Barkas
meaning
,
nor
be
againe
deceiued
,
though
he
meane
as
thou
sayest
,
For
then
can
it
proue
no
otherwise
then
absolute
tirany
,
and
to
free
the
Common
wealth
of
a
Tyrant
is
indeed
an
action
of
renowne
:
This
she
spake
to
put
his
disposition
to
the
touch
,
and
finding
him
willing
to
be
diuerted
,
she
then
strengthned
him
in
that
resolution
:
this
made
him
more
flexible
toward
her
,
and
that
perswaded
a
wondefull
contrarietieb
,
ringing
in
the
Ielosie
of
his
owne
life
,
so
the
feare
to
preuent
it
submitted
to
her
directions
:
againe
,
she
with
a
doubtfull
manner
of
speech
,
that
if
he
had
sayd
the
truth
it
were
better
a
wicked
Emperor
miscaried
,
then
men
of
vertue
and
good
deseruing
:
and
last
of
all
with
reasons
,
promises
,
and
protestations
to
make
the
fact
iustifiable
,
tooke
his
oth
to
kill
the
Emperor
:
Which
he
very
opportunely
performed
in
a
walke
adioyning
to
the
Pallace
,
as
conferring
togeather
in
secret
about
Kalucki
,
and
no
sooner
shruncke
the
bleeding
Carkase
to
Emperors
Semiter
,
quight
conueying
away
the
instrument
of
death
,
and
so
stood
crying
for
helpe
in
a
pittifull
manner
.
By
this
time
hath
the
strange
reporte
of
the
Emperors
murder
possessed
both
Court
,
and
Country
with
amase
,
and
the
murtherer
without
any
pursuite
quickly
submitted
him selfe
:
but
brought
before
the
Empresse
&
the
rest
to
whom
such
a
cause
papertained
,
he
confessed
the
fact
:
yet
desiered
that
he
might
take
away
the
shame
,
though
not
the
fault
in
the
misfortune
,
by
discouering
the
secrete
as
it
chanced
,
now
because
his
bleeding
woundes
induced
commiseration
,
and
that
his
present
sta●…
made
shew
of
violence
against
him
,
it
was
thought
conuenient
to
heare
him
,
and
if
it
were
,
but
to
bolt
out
the
rest
of
the
conspirators
.
Most
deuine
Empresse
(
quoth
he
)
&
Honorable
vpholders
of
this
mightie
state
,
I
intend
neither
to
entreat
for
fauour
nor
life
,
(
for
in
the
very
misfortune
of
the
mischeife
,
I
am
worthy
to
dye
)
yet
giue
me
leaue
to
extenuate
your
displeasures
against
me
,
and
to
disclaime
either
a
naturall
disposition
to
such
impietie
,
or
now
willingnesse
to
lay
violent
handes
on
such
a
person
:
wherein
that
my
true
simplicitie
may
somewhat
countenance
me
,
and
that
I
plead
for
my
Honour
and
renowne
,
giue
me
leaue
to
Launce
my
Barcke
into
this
Channell
.
Who
doth
not
remember
the
misery
of
our
Country
through
the
ambition
of
our
Emperours
Barka
and
Allau
,
deceassed
?
Who
doth
not
acknowledge
the
blessings
conferred
vnto
vs
by
the
Prince
,
Kalucki
,
who
with
all
vertuous
industries
hath
proceeded
for
our
good
?
yet
(
mighty
Peeres
)
I
shame
to
tell
it
,
without
respect
of
worth
,
royaltie
,
honour
,
or
the
benefite
it selfe
,
some
wretched
Ielousie
so
misled
our
Emperour
,
that
very
ingratefully
(
if
I
make
not
too
great
offence
in
the
tearme
)
hee
contriued
many
wayes
his
destruction
,
misconstruing
our
Loues
,
and
his
Vallour
,
to
tend
to
an
aspiring
reach
:
and
when
nothing
appeared
to
appease
his
misdoubts
,
hee
flatly
concluded
to
murder
him
secretly
:
To
which
bestiallity
,
hee
suggested
Chamus
,
Iliod
,
Iodda
,
and
my selfe
,
ouer-reaching
our
Obedience
with
Imperious
will
,
and
insorcering
out
fraylty
with
Reward
and
Preferment
.
Now
what
euer
good
or
bad
Angell
was
ouer
this
dismall
night
predominant
,
I
know
not
;
but
sending
for
mee
into
the
Walke
,
hee
conferred
about
the
Murder
;
and
because
my
slacknesse
seemed
rather
enclined
to
remorce
,
then
dispatch
of
the
tyranous
decree
,
all
impatient
hee
flew
vpon
mee
,
wounding
mee
in
this
manner
,
neuer
repressing
his
furie
,
till
I
lost
the
vse
of
respect
and
consideration
:
then
life
straue
with
necessitie
,
and
compelled
her
seruant
strength
to
the
cloze
,
hoping
onely
to
saue
it selfe
;
wherein
,
howsoeuer
it
chanced
,
the
Swod
in
the
fall
,
strooke
him
to
the
heart
:
which
how
grieuous
it
is
vnto
mee
,
the
immortall
powers
,
that
haue
deliuered
Kalucki
,
and
preserued
all
your
glories
,
can
witnesse
.
This
vnlookt-for
contrarietie
,
made
them
all
amazed
,
yet
when
the
examination
of
the
rest
,
and
other
circumstances
agreed
with
the
truth
,
most
strange
was
the
confusion
amongst
them
:
For
the
people
with
great
acclamations
cryed
out
,
Liue
Kalucki
,
liue
Tarachim
.
The
Empresse
tooke
heauily
her
Husbands
misfortune
;
but
seemed
more
troubled
with
his
infamy
.
The
Princes
of
the
State
knew
not
what
to
say
,
or
how
to
proceede
.
The
people
they
continued
with
zeale
towarde
Kalucki
;
and
in
a
manner
protested
Mullumella
could
not
doe
better
,
then
make
him
satisfaction
by
mariage
.
Heere
Wisedome
played
a
kind
〈◊〉
▪
For
though
her
Desire
burned
within
her
to
the
same
purpose
,
yet
a
still
modesty
kept
her
from
making
shew
of
any
such
motion
:
and
when
the
greatest
Lords
(
as
not
knowing
how
to
suppresse
it
,
being
a
matter
of
that
consequence
,
&
the
party
a
man
of
that
high
deseruing
)
vrged
it
againe
.
Shee
sayd
it
was
a
time
of
sorrow
,
and
the
loue
toward
them
,
would
not
consent
to
any
thing
vnbefitting
:
But
when
indeed
another
and
another
time
was
spent
in
yeelding
reasons
of
the
likelihood
of
happinesse
;
and
that
her
cunning
had
drawen
them
to
beleeue
their
importunities
should
preuaile
with
her
,
shee
welcommed
the
fortune
,
that
had
thus
smiled
vpon
her
,
and
tooke
Kalucki
into
the
tuition
of
her
loue
;
which
quickly
inuested
him
Emperour
,
and
sware
the
Subiects
to
loyalty
and
obediene
.
Now
was
hee
to
play
the
part
of
an
Emperour
,
and
by
reason
of
the
naturall
rudenesse
of
the
BVt
as
he
went
forward
in
this
towardly
Iornie
Although
(
louing
and
worthy
to
be
beloued
Lords
and
Subiects
)
the
deuine
prouidence
and
your
fauours
hath
collated
this
Empire
without
desert
or
my
owne
first
seeking
:
yet
must
I
not
now
either
degenerate
from
that
I
am
,
or
appeare
other
,
then
I
should
be
,
least
you
may
immagin
former
basenesse
,
or
present
demisnesse
:
but
because
matters
of
Armes
and
martiall
exploites
are
intended
(
and
as
may
be
obiected
rather
for
my
priuate
satisfaction
,
then
your
generall
good
)
I
determined
to
acquaint
you
with
the
story
from
the
beginning
,
and
so
fell
into
the
addition
of
many
circumstances
,
with
this
last
newes
of
Scaroxus
,
which
they
neuer
heard
of
:
Now
,
if
you
thinke
it
meete
,
that
so
great
a
commander
ouer
so
many
valiant
people
,
and
such
spatious
Countries
should
digest
a
defamation
,
which
pettie
Princes
would
aduenture
to
reuenge
,
I
must
submit
,
and
for
your
sakes
,
or
peace
will
make
the
Warre
of
a
distempred
conscience
:
But
if
my
calamitous
discourse
hath
wrought
any
impression
,
whereby
with
your
loues
and
assistance
I
may
proceed
,
then
doe
I
expostulate
your
constancie
,
and
account
my selfe
more
happy
,
then
Fortunate
:
For
if
you
haue
rightly
vnderstood
me
,
my
meaning
is
not
to
lead
you
to
destruction
,
or
driue
you
like
a
Tyrant
to
a
slaughter
house
:
but
I
expose
vnto
you
the
recouery
,
Citties
,
Possessions
,
Ritches
,
and
what
men
can
desier
,
of
a
large
and
fertile
Countrie
to
which
without
doubt
the
Gods
will
consent
,
so
your
abashed
drawing
backe
be
not
signes
of
ill
successe
.
When
it
seemed
he
determined
silence
,
the
company
rather
wondring
at
his
perfections
,
then
misunderstanding
his
speeches
,
gaue
a
great
Plaudite
,
crying
,
the
Gods
preserue
Kalucki
;
the
Gods
protect
our
Emperor
;
and
with
vnfainednesse
offered
themselues
and
goods
freely
to
the
enterprise
:
this
made
him
feast
them
all
sumptuously
by
way
of
gratification
,
and
that
brought
them
to
care
and
reuerence
toward
him
the
easier
:
so
a
Councell
of
Warre
disputed
the
matter
,
and
dispersed
the
seuerall
Commanders
to
rayse
vp
Forces
to
make
his
Armie
the
greater
:
For
though
hee
had
euer
in
readinesse
a
hundred
thousand
in
Armes
,
besides
his
owne
,
Companies
brought
with
him
from
Trebizond
,
and
now
foure-score
Thousand
seruing
for
a
Guard
to
his
person
;
yet
were
his
Foure
principall
Kingdomes
;
that
is
to
say
,
Ieckomongall
,
Sumongall
,
Merchat
,
and
Metrit
,
assessed
at
Fourtie
thousand
a
peece
,
mustred
and
orderly
trayned
(
in
respect
of
their
former
disorder
)
at
Coralla
,
where
the
Rendezuous
was
appoynted
.
THus
with
a
mightie
Armie
he
marched
along
,
Mullumalla
Regent
in
his
absence
,
who
the
morning
of
his
departure
had
sacrifised
two
whight
Hartes
to
Diana
,
and
by
their
forward
going
to
the
Alter
,
presaged
good
successe
,
and
his
returne
:
and
hauing
framed
an
Imperiall
Diadem
set
on
many
degrees
,
and
beautified
with
inestimable
Pretious
stones
,
which
were
supported
in
euery
barre
with
her
owne
pro●…ature
(
a
thing
questionlesse
both
for
worth
and
workmanshippe
of
admiration
)
she
Crowned
him
therwith
in
the
sight
of
the
Armie
,
and
so
with
a
Warlike
ceremony
committed
him
to
the
tuition
of
the
Sunne
:
Thus
is
he
come
to
the
confines
of
Albania
,
and
there
rested
himselfe
,
studying
which
way
to
proceed
in
the
best
course
,
and
at
last
creating
Queridock
Prince
of
his
Emperiall
tent
,
made
him
an
Embassador
to
Mengrelius
with
these
instructions
:
That
whereas
he
had
been
dispossessed
of
the
Empire
of
Trebizonda
by
wrong
and
despight
,
and
was
contented
to
embace
him selfe
to
strange
conditions
to
auoyde
effusion
of
blood
:
they
had
yet
,
to
adde
to
his
indignytie
scorned
him
,
and
infringed
the
Lawes
both
of
Honor
and
nations
:
that
seeing
this
contempt
was
intolletable
,
&
the
Couenants
enioyned
him
to
lay
claime
to
his
right
,
he
came
in
person
with
an
Armie
of
three
hundred
Thousand
well
appyoynted
Soldiers
to
performe
the
same
,
that
if
it
seemed
good
to
the
Emperials
to
admitte
him
to
quiet
possession
,
considering
it
was
but
a
smale
satisfaction
of
his
first
wronges
,
no
worthy
man
should
be
displaced
,
and
he
would
desist
from
the
way
of
conquest
:
That
if
they
impugned
his
desires
,
then
to
denounce
open
hostilly
,
and
giue
them
warning
,
the
businesse
was
remedilesse
,
and
he
mercilesse
.
This
Embasie
did
Queridocke
deliuer
with
a
gallant
spirit
and
grace
,
not
without
intimation
of
iniustice
concerning
him selfe
,
and
diuers
others
banished
their
naturall
Country
▪
which
in
a
manner
distracted
the
hearers
,
by
reason
they
could
not
denie
what
he
sayd
,
nor
durst
accord
to
what
hee
importuned
,
and
had
not
their
present
peace
,
but
espetially
the
vndoubted
towardlinesse
of
the
Heroijck
Trezoboro
suggested
infinite
miseries
,
and
wretchednesse
in
the
best
change
,
without
doubt
there
would
haue
followed
a
most
terrible
confusion
.
But
now
is
Mengrelius
perplexed
many
wayes
with
the
arrogant
Message
,
the
opinion
of
his
Subiects
,
the
remembrance
of
his
first
wrong
,
the
trouble
of
the
Warres
,
the
errours
of
his
Mother
and
Wife
,
the
alteration
of
the
State
,
the
displeasure
against
Opacus
for
his
Daughters
sauing
his
Children
,
the
duty
of
a
Father
now
they
were
preserued
,
and
the
feare
of
the
Prophecy
,
which
indeed
dogged
him
at
the
heeles
,
and
followed
him
like
a
shadow
:
So
that
no
way
of
safety
appeared
,
but
in
his
Sonnes
destruction
;
which
as
hee
supposed
,
would
both
satisfie
Kaluckies
claime
,
and
settle
his
owne
ielosie
,
yet
loth
to
discouer
his
feares
in
publike
,
or
enterpose
such
a
mischeife
in
the
times
of
rumors
and
occations
of
Warre
:
he
went
more
cunningly
to
worke
,
and
vnder
Colour
of
the
common
good
thus
spake
to
the
estates
of
the
Empire
,
which
he
had
assembled
at
Samarchanda
.
So
great
is
the
mischeife
threatned
against
vs
(
most
happy
people
,
but
in
my
vnhappines
)
that
I
searce
know
,
how
to
preuent
it
:
because
on
the
one
side
my
fatherly
affection
and
your
loues
,
must
and
will
disclaime
any
strange
courses
against
my
sonne
,
on
the
other
side
,
my
dignitie
importuneth
a
Prinsely
connexion
of
soueraingtie
,
and
nature
it selfe
Countermandeth
the
Tiranous
composition
,
which
I
am
sure
began
in
Iniustice
,
and
you
may
obiect
will
end
in
destruction
:
but
because
my
Country
&
people
are
in
a
degree
before
my
Children
:
yea
my
owne
life
and
least
the
commonwealth
should
complaine
for
vexing
her
with
these
intollerable
wronges
:
if
there
may
be
reason
in
this
vnreasonablenesse
:
I
abiure
the
name
of
a
Father
,
and
offer
my
sonne
as
a
Sacrifice
of
attonement
:
I
renounce
the
Royaltie
which
now
seemeth
like
a
glorious
Sunne
;
and
submitte
for
your
satisfaction
:
I
cast
downe
my
life
to
be
put
into
the
other
Bällance
against
your
affliction
:
For
neither
Mengrelius
,
nor
Trezoboro
shall
be
themselus
to
make
you
worse
,
then
your
selues
,
yet
be
not
too
sodden
in
censuring
me
carelesse
of
him
,
whom
you
see
the
heauens
haue
cared
for
;
nor
too
submisse
concerning
my
owne
Honor
which
I
haue
so
charylie
preserued
;
For
if
you
will
vouchasafe
to
ioyne
with
me
,
all
helpes
of
pollecy
and
courage
shall
be
vnited
,
that
the
body
and
communitie
of
this
Empire
remaine
vndissolued
,
and
before
I
submit
to
any
diuision
of
Titles
,
which
now
your
respects
haue
conferred
,
the
world
shall
tremble
at
the
report
of
these
stratagemmes
,
and
death
giue
a
plaudite
to
my
last
Tragicall
act
,
but
once
againe
like
a
louing
mother
,
which
is
still
taking
her
leaue
of
her
departing
sonne
,
and
haueing
one
spetiall
matter
to
counsell
him
in
,
doth
often
and
very
often
remember
it
:
so
like
the
Father
of
the
Common-wealth
,
doe
I
put
you
in
minde
,
while
it
is
time
,
to
thinke
vpon
the
horrible
end
of
this
tryall
:
For
to
affright
vs
the
more
,
we
are
to
contend
with
Beastes
,
and
men
worse
then
Beastes
,
Anthropophagi
,
Misocoli
,
Monsters
in
nature
,
and
all
Barbarisme
,
so
that
nothing
but
bloud
and
death
,
or
vtter
ruin
of
vs
all
(
which
the
Gods
interdicte
)
must
follow
in
the
preuailing
:
Preuent
therefore
,
Preuent
in
time
your
troubles
heere
;
is
Mengrelius
began
the
inconuenience
,
heere
is
Trezobro
the
cause
of
your
feare
,
heere
is
both
father
and
sonne
the
Ransome
of
your
disquiet
.
But
as
a
further
vehemencie
might
haue
vnshadowed
the
heate
of
other
humors
,
the
people
vnwilling
to
see
their
Prince
so
distempred
,
and
vnable
to
dissolue
their
firme
rooted
zeale
,
cryed
aloud
,
the
Gods
confound
the
disturbers
of
our
peace
,
the
Gods
dispose
of
all
thinges
to
their
pleasure
:
liue
therefore
Mengrelius
sacred
,
and
irremoueable
:
spare
not
to
defend
your
kingdomes
,
for
we
will
neither
hassard
our
Princely
Trezoboro
,
nor
permit
any
dissipation
of
our
gouernment
.
THus
is
Kalukies
Embassage
contradicted
,
and
Sicambus
,
Mallau
,
Petroslol
,
Zami
,
and
Xantippus
,
all
in
times
past
of
hereditary
possessions
in
Pontus
,
Iberia
,
and
Colchidos
:
and
followed
himselfe
with
the
rest
quartered
in
fiue
partes
,
vnder
the
commaund
of
Misogambus
,
and
Olippo
,
two
of
the
Empresse
Mullumallas
bretheren
,
and
Barsangol
and
Iubar
,
sonnes
of
Mithra
and
Delium
,
two
Queenes
of
late
the
Concubines
of
Barka
:
In
the
midest
was
Kalucki
himselfe
sequestred
in
an
Emperiall
Tent
,
&
according
to
the
ceremonious
respect
of
his
estate
,
neither
to
bee
seene
nor
spoken
withall
,
but
at
spetiall
times
:
The
ordring
of
this
businesse
was
not
committed
to
such
a
secretary
,
but
the
Emperour
of
Trebizond
knew
the
manner
of
his
proceedings
:
and
by
that
time
he
had
passed
Cularopa
furnished
himselfe
reasonable
well
:
For
from
Taurica
,
the
heither
Scithia
:
Russia
,
and
Hiperborei
,
he
had
one
hundred
Thousand
Auxiliaries
:
out
of
Colchidos
,
Pontus
,
Iberia
,
and
Paphlagonia
he
mustered
eightie
Thousand
:
and
from
the
Citties
of
Samarchanda
,
Trebizond
,
Merlanes
,
and
Xantippi
he
receiued
twentie
Thousand
well
appointed
,
and
of
better
spetiallitie
,
by
reason
they
were
the
sonnes
of
Noble
men
,
and
Cittizens
glorying
in
their
ancient
freedomes
:
these
he
kept
next
his
person
,
and
appoynted
Curatsax
,
Pharcanos
,
Scydrothemis
,
&
Mithridates
ouerseers
of
his
Guard
,
as
for
Trezoboro
he
suffered
his
forwardnesse
to
direct
the
whole
businesse
as
if
his
hope
receiued
life
,
that
some
action
or
other
might
worke
his
miscarying
.
Thus
is
the
Trumpet
of
defiance
ready
to
sound
on
both
sides
,
yet
meane
not
the
Trebizondians
in
such
suddennesse
to
put
it
to
the
Tryall
of
a
field
,
because
by
being
possessed
of
the
streites
and
passages
:
the
enemie
was
sure
to
lessen
his
numbers
,
and
they
winn
time
the
Father
of
many
contrarieties
:
but
the
Circumstances
of
this
great
Warre
are
referred
to
my
booke
of
Battailes
,
I
therefore
ouerpasse
them
now
,
and
only
certefie
you
,
that
when
Mengrelius
perceiued
he
was
not
able
to
detaine
them
longer
from
a
day
of
terror
,
he
tooke
a
Truce
for
seauen
dayes
,
laying
open
the
Trenches
,
and
making
the
way
plaine
,
as
if
he
determined
to
entertaine
slaughter
with
handsomnesse
,
or
let
death
haue
a
larger
freedome
by
easie
passage
:
So
that
the
stoutest
Courage
was
appauled
at
the
preperation
,
and
had
no
other
hope
but
dismay
and
confusion
:
yet
feares
are
enemies
to
the
Progres
of
victory
,
and
therefore
all
abatements
of
Courage
were
absented
,
when
it
came
to
the
tryall
indeed
,
and
Kalucki
contrary
to
the
coustomes
of
his
greatnesse
,
thought
good
to
ouerlooke
the
partes
of
his
Warrelike
body
,
that
if
neede
required
,
the
helping
a
disease
or
fault
in
time
,
might
preuent
a
greater
mischeife
:
nor
desisted
hee
so
,
but
Mounted
on
a
throne
of
purpose
to
bee
seene
and
herd
,
he
thus
tooke
his
farrewell
.
I
intend
not
to
vse
many
wordes
vnto
you
,
as
suspitious
of
your
loues
and
vallures
:
For
if
there
were
such
a
slackenesse
,
it
is
now
too
late
to
murmure
or
Trifell
;
but
because
my
regard
toward
you
may
bee
the
better
expressed
,
I
am
the
bolder
to
speake
,
yet
doe
but
determine
to
put
you
in
minde
of
your
owne
mindes
,
and
knowledge
:
Remember
then
,
what
humour
soeuer
the
enemie
entertaine
,
we
are
succorlesse
,
and
farre
from
home
,
therefore
must
vallure
make
your
way
into
new
possessions
,
or
if
you
suppose
the
ostentation
of
the
enemie
,
is
a
glorious
spectacle
,
you
haue
Armes
and
Hands
to
vnplume
them
,
and
bedeck
your selues
with
their
spoyles
:
but
what
is
this
to
your
owne
liues
and
glories
,
which
in
a
manner
enforce
you
to
shake
off
all
incombrances
of
feare
as
for
my selfe
?
(
though
I
am
loth
to
degeneratte
from
the
ancient
prerogatiues
of
your
Emperors
)
yet
will
I
be
the
first
to
giue
the
onset
:
For
the
cause
being
mine
,
mine
shall
be
the
Honour
or
the
shame
;
and
yours
the
spoyles
,
wherein
besides
the
renowne
of
the
exployte
,
the
poorest
vassaile
shall
thinke
himselfe
well
rewarded
.
The
Country
you
see
is
pleasing
,
and
the
blessinges
you
haue
already
tasted
of
;
goe
one
therefore
goe
on
:
Fortune
bidds
you
goe
on
;
and
Victory
lookes
already
with
a
pleasing
Conntenance
.
Heere
a
wonderfull
clamour
seemed
to
threaten
heauen
with
the
noise
,
by
which
the
Trebyzondians
had
warning
of
their
enemies
ill
meaning
toward
them
:
For
till
this
they
had
beene
awtentiue
vnto
Mengrelius
,
who
very
well
knew
,
that
a
seasonable
encouragement
with
addition
of
the
worth
of
the
partie
speaking
,
was
a
veary
whet-stone
of
Courage
,
and
had
wrought
great
effect
indeed
with
whole
Armies
almost
ready
to
faint
.
Littleneed
I
(
sayed
he
)
debate
any
particulars
concerning
the
former
occasions
of
your
now
imminent
troubles
:
For
your
owne
Loyalties
and
resolutions
haue
put
a
way
all
feare
,
and
continued
the
steadfastnesse
,
which
I
now
finde
,
yea
hurried
you
to
the
Gates
of
danger
to
make
demonstration
of
your
constancie
:
I
am
therefore
sure
you
will
not
now
relent
,
what
euer
mischeife
is
threatned
,
nor
would
I
haue
you
discouraged
,
in
that
neither
spoyles
of
Citties
,
nor
ritches
of
a
plentifull
Land
shall
be
the
recompence
of
your
charge
and
endeauors
,
but
rather
annimated
in
regard
you
are
to
support
a
florishing
Common-wealth
,
and
a
Country
(
thankes
to
the
eternall
Powers
,
beautified
with
a
blessed
plentie
:
If
this
seeme
a
slender
enforcement
,
then
looke
on
your
Byrths
and
the
places
challenging
naturall
regard
,
your
Mothers
,
that
bare
you
,
your
Wiues
endeered
vnto
you
,
your
Children
,
that
exclaime
:
your
friends
and
Allies
depending
vpon
you
,
and
your selues
,
knowing
the
necessitie
of
life
:
as
for
the
Enemie
,
I
assure
you
,
they
haue
not
that
aduantage
by
the
number
of
men
,
as
your selues
by
discipline
,
vallure
,
and
good
order
:
But
why
should
I
so
much
as
wisper
misdoubts
amongst
you
,
when
neuer
appeared
more
loue
and
dutie
;
and
what
will
not
loue
and
dutie
effect
?
And
the
immortall
Powers
are
appeased
,
giuing
notice
of
in
scrutible
secrets
,
as
you
can
all
witnesse
the
Haruspices
haue
promulged
,
let
not
vs
then
consent
to
surquedry
or
demisnesse
.
As
he
was
going
on
,
the
signe
was
giuen
to
the
Battaile
:
But
behold
,
a
strange
interception
deuided
the
Armies
by
the
descending
of
a
thicke
and
spatious
Cloude
,
which
stood
as
a
Wale
betweene
them
at
last
a
sence
dismaying
thunder
made
a
horrible
Trezoboro
bariona
:
Trezoboro
bariona
;
Whereupon
the
Magy
,
Gymnosophists
,
and
Haruspces
were
called
on
both
sides
,
who
interpreted
it
to
this
sence
;
that
there
was
no
striuing
against
deuine
reuolutions
.
For
the
Gods
had
proclaimed
Trezoboro
the
sonne
of
peace
;
and
when
Mengrelius
vrged
it
was
by
the
way
of
sacrifice
,
they
repugned
,
as
finding
no
blood
must
be
shed
:
by
this
,
the
former
terror
vanished
,
and
the
Armies
seemed
Metamorphised
into
sober
expectation
,
which
caused
the
Magnificent
Prince
to
mount
himselfe
like
the
sonne
of
Honour
,
and
stepping
before
the
maine
Fronts
with
a
seemely
Trotte
he
paced
to
the
Tartarians
,
desiring
to
present
himselfe
before
the
Emperour
Kalucki
and
king
of
Kings
,
who
enformed
of
the
gallant
demeanor
,
and
presence
of
his
Nephew
,
called
the
principall
commaunders
of
his
Armie
,
and
setled
in
his
Emperiall
Tent
with
exceeding
Maiestie
and
Pompe
,
admitted
him
audience
:
but
when
Trezoboro
tooke
notice
of
the
state
,
and
the
Emperours
person
,
he
quickly
alighted
and
with
a
respectious
ceremony
of
obeisance
,
entreated
his
fauor
to
giue
him
leaue
to
speake
:
which
belike
was
obtained
with
order
;
For
he
thus
began
.
I
haue
not
presumed
(
most
reuerent
,
sacred
,
and
vnuanquishable
Emperiour
)
in
any
impudent
manner
to
neglect
my
dutie
by
this
Course
,
or
desperat
contempt
to
weigh
with
slightnesse
your
high
Maiestie
,
or
great
Armie
,
but
by
deuine
inspiration
whereof
there
is
none
,
that
hath
not
in
some
sort
participated
:
I
present
vnto
you
the
strange
truth
of
my
birth
,
life
,
and
bringing
vp
,
whereby
shall
appeare
a
very
destinie
to
this
titular
happinesse
,
or
(
as
it
may
proue
)
incombrance
;
and
that
the
wronges
,
which
haue
thus
sturred
you
to
reuenge
,
were
neither
determined
in
mallice
,
nor
meane
now
to
be
continued
in
contempt
,
because
the
Triumphs
of
murder
and
destruction
will
then
be
lamentable
:
which
to
preuent
,
the
Gods
in
their
accoustomed
mercy
haue
giuen
a
Prodigious
warning
:
Let
vs
not
therefore
with
the
Giants
fight
against
heauen
,
nor
reiect
the
blessed
fauor
,
which
now
shineth
vpon
vs
,
as
if
it
were
to
declare
the
will
of
all
working
power
,
disclaimeth
effusion
of
blood
:
and
for
my selfe
,
which
am
the
reputed
cause
,
you
see
I
come
as
a
simple
Hollocaust
to
redeeme
the
liues
of
infinite
Thousandes
:
yet
giue
mee
leaue
(
how
euer
it
pleased
you
to
submitte
at
that
time
to
vnkinde
banishment
)
to
exprobrate
the
vnnaturall
couenants
ratefied
,
which
as
it
should
seeme
the
whole
senate
of
heauen
contradicted
.
With
that
,
he
discouered
at
large
the
Oracle
at
Delphos
,
the
manner
of
his
Byrth
,
the
pietie
of
Opacus
daughters
,
the
theft
of
Cleonidas
,
the
Shipwrack
of
Bertosus
,
and
the
mariage
of
Brizaca
.
Now
said
he
,
if
you
thinke
it
conuenient
to
impeach
this
secret
,
heere
I
prostrate
my selfe
to
the
sauagest
crueltie
,
but
if
an
honorable
attonement
might
pacefie
your
iust
conceiued
displeasure
,
and
reward
this
Armie
,
wee
offer
a
yeerely
Tribute
to
thy
byrth-right
,
a
satisfaction
for
all
charges
,
and
a
Million
of
Treasure
as
a
donatiue
to
the
Soldiers
:
besides
,
the
world
shall
tremble
at
the
vnitie
of
your
houses
,
and
ages
to
come
,
reuerence
the
Fame
of
two
such
bretheren
;
For
you
being
the
seruant
of
the
great
God
,
and
ruler
ouer
all
rulers
,
Mengrelius
will
be
your
seruant
,
and
submitte
as
farre
,
as
such
a
Monarch
may
doe
to
his
elder
Brother
,
and
highest
Lord
.
These
speaches
iudicially
deliuered
(
his
outward
countenance
tempered
betweene
an
amiable
and
modest
behauiour
)
breathed
a
contentment
,
as
if
a
soft
Winde
sturring
the
sweete
Flowers
,
should
thereby
infuse
delight
to
our
Senses
:
wherevpon
succeeded
the
effectes
,
a
still
Desire
to
be
fedd
with
the
Pleasure
:
and
Pitty
challenging
Mischance
,
which
should
hinder
them
from
that
walke
.
So
Trezoboro
was
for
a
time
graciously
dismissed
;
and
a
Truce
of
fourteene
dayes
gaue
them
entercourse
one
to
another
:
in
which
space
,
the
assembly
of
Estates
sate
dayly
to
finish
this
strange
building
of
Peace
:
As
for
the
Souldiers
,
their
conceites
stretched
no
farther
,
then
to
woonder
at
the
Story
,
to
be
mooued
with
the
miracle
,
to
pittie
Trezoboros
youth
and
comlynesse
,
to
wish
an
attonment
on
all
sides
,
and
to
returne
with
wealth
,
libertie
and
credit
:
at
last
,
such
was
the
apprehension
of
their
present
state
,
and
miracle
disposing
their
humours
to
contrarieties
,
that
Kalucki
(
after
Mengrelius
consented
to
readmitte
those
Trebizondians
,
that
would
returne
to
former
libertie
and
estates
,
or
like
recompence
)
sent
Misogambus
and
Olippo
with
presents
of
ratification
,
who
with
sound
of
Trumpet
in
both
the
Armies
proclaimed
an
inuiolate
Truce
:
whereupon
a
stately
Colosseum
of
brasse
was
erected
betweene
the
Armies
,
insculped
with
the
whole
occurrents
,
as
they
chanced
in
order
,
to
which
bargaine
of
felicity
Ballutasa
and
Arcabella
set
their
seales
:
the
one
,
thanking
the
Gods
for
the
aduancement
of
her
Children
:
the
other
,
sacrificing
to
Fortune
,
that
had
so
many
waies
encreased
her
happynesse
.
Thus
doe
the
brothers
to
the
great
applause
of
the
people
,
greet
one
another
;
and
the
state
of
the
Spectacle
would
make
a
vollume
in
the
description
:
but
time
must
determine
all
thinges
,
and
these
great
Armies
be
deuided
:
so
Kalucki
with
treasure
,
Honor
,
and
reuerence
returned
to
the
magnanimous
Mullumalla
;
to
whom
he
made
an
offortory
of
himselfe
and
ritches
,
and
Mengrelius
with
peace
,
libertie
,
and
delight
,
was
welcomed
to
Trebizond
;
where
prosperitie
seemed
for
the
time
,
to
keepe
her
mansion
,
had
not
the
wrathfull
Nemesis
(
who
neuer
leaueth
wrong
and
iniustice
vnpunished
)
sent
for
Ielosie
and
Suspition
to
attend
on
her
in
the
progresse
of
visiting
Mengrelius
,
least
the
will
of
the
Gods
should
prooue
a
mockery
,
and
the
ineuitable
decrees
of
Destinie
be
not
accounted
of
:
and
thus
she
meanes
to
contriue
her
entertainement
.
NO
sooner
was
the
Trebizondian
Armie
dissolued
,
With
such
illusions
was
Mengrelius
quite
caried
from
him selfe
,
and
on
a
sodaine
consented
to
a
decree
,
that
none
(
of
what
estate
soeuer
)
should
intermeddle
with
the
Emperors
retyering
,
nor
appoynt
extraordinary
meetings
without
the
verge
of
the
Court
,
which
was
strangely
taken
at
the
first
:
but
Trezoboro
discouering
the
secret
,
was
contented
to
repaire
to
the
Pallace
;
which
his
presence
quickly
filled
with
entercourse
of
people
,
and
the
applause
range
by
the
Emperors
eares
;
who
in
short
time
misliked
it
farre
worse
then
the
other
,
as
almost
by
eye-witnesse
perceiuing
,
he
meant
to
insinuate
into
the
vulgar
opinion
to
irrite
a
faction
:
From
hence
a
plaine
displeasure
arose
by
commaunding
the
Prince
to
depart
the
Court
:
then
wrought
his
absence
beliefe
of
euery
thing
reported
;
and
added
withall
,
that
the
opportunitie
made
him
study
on
the
disgrace
,
and
so
prepare
the
reuenge
;
(
For
indeed
there
wanted
not
those
,
which
proposed
to
Trezoboro
his
Fathers
cruelty
at
the
beginning
,
his
wretched
hate
now
,
the
errours
of
many
men
about
him
;
and
that
there
was
no
reason
he
should
permit
the
indignitie
:
but
these
he
suffered
as
Spiders
in
an
house
seruing
to
gather
the
Poyson
and
Venome
of
the
Ayre
,
that
the
rest
may
be
more
sweete
and
holsome
:
)
till
at
last
,
a
wretched
surmise
displaied
the
ensiugnes
of
hate
against
him
;
which
was
too
true
,
by
reason
all
his
fauourites
and
attendants
were
remooued
,
or
neglected
.
Calisthenes
aman
of
an
high
linage
,
and
dilicat
witte
,
which
by
some
extraordinary
pleasantnes
got
the
name
of
Good
conceit
;
and
yet
till
now
made
gratious
with
the
Empresse
,
was
checked
with
the
tearme
of
mimus
for
slender
glauncing
at
the
Emperors
melancholy
.
Another
demanding
but
the
cause
of
the
Princes
sequestration
,
was
imprisoned
.
A
third
,
making
a
Satiricall
Inuection
against
especiall
persons
,
was
publickly
whipt
.
A
fourth
,
saying
,
the
Prince
was
more
worthy
submitted
to
the
execution
of
a
seuere
Iudgement
:
which
made
a
great
alteration
;
and
to
be
plaine
,
slacked
the
reuerence
and
dutie
euer
borne
toward
him
.
Thus
remained
all
places
full
of
rumours
,
wherein
confusion
spred
many
dispositions
abroad
:
some
saying
the
Emperor
was
ill
directed
,
or
worse
inclined
:
some
that
the
Prince
was
causelesly
wronged
:
some
layed
the
fault
on
priuate
persons
,
who
hauing
a
long
time
swaied
the
Common-wealth
,
feared
least
the
quicke
conceite
of
others
would
detect
their
ill
gouernment
,
and
therefore
ment
vnder
publike
pretences
to
preuent
priuate
mischeifes
:
some
blamed
the
Emperors
credulytie
of
the
coosening
sort
of
Magy
:
some
affirmed
he
was
quite
distracted
,
and
some
dared
exclaime
,
that
fearing
he
knew
not
what
,
he
would
ruine
the
Common-wealth
,
and
Butcher
vp
his
Children
,
as
he
had
done
before
:
These
speeches
had
diuers
effects
both
with
Mengrelius
and
Trezoboro
,
the
father
assuring
it
a
practise
of
defamation
,
and
the
sonne
suspecting
his
fathers
crueltie
;
which
was
the
more
greeuous
vnto
him
,
because
he
had
deserued
so
well
:
so
that
now
to
secure
himselfe
he
was
enforced
to
stand
on
his
Guard
,
and
that
incited
the
Emperor
to
proclaime
him
Trator
,
But
when
Trezoboro
perceiued
,
that
hee
which
standeth
onely
on
defence
,
is
farre
from
Victorie
,
hee
then
shewed
his
Father
the
force
of
a
mighty
Arme
;
with
which
he
held
out
a
long
time
:
but
at
last
,
was
compelled
to
retire
to
Pelagium
,
a
place
designed
him
for
his
Estate
,
and
conuenient
for
Victualing
and
relieuing
his
Armie
.
Hither
did
Mengrelius
prosecute
him
,
and
Trezoboros
flight
somwhat
ouerswayed
the
common
opinion
,
neuer
certaine
,
but
in
vncertainties
;
so
that
the
Emperor
seemed
cheared
with
his
good
proceedings
,
&
his
Sonnes
tryall
;
whereupon
somewhat
cunningly
thinking
to
presse
the
Enemie
,
while
they
were
yeelding
,
hee
proclaymed
Pardon
to
all
those
,
which
would
forsake
the
Prince
:
the
rest
he
denounced
guiltie
of
the
Crime
of
Maiestie
:
Then
seemed
he
to
dally
with
crueltie
,
promising
one
hundred
Tallents
to
any
would
bring
him
in
dead
or
a
liue
:
and
last
of
all
,
encountred
with
his
forces
to
great
aduantage
,
which
Trezoboro
perceiuing
would
in
time
worcke
him
out
,
and
that
his
retardance
gaue
libertie
for
a
Russian
Armie
to
helpe
his
father
,
he
dispatched
a
messenger
to
Anzitemus
,
and
an
other
to
Opacus
of
Capadocia
,
who
by
reason
of
the
Emperors
ielosie
and
stomach
against
them
,
as
the
causes
of
his
feare
,
were
not
vsed
,
not
sent
vnto
in
their
late
troubles
,
and
therefore
conceiuing
they
were
neglected
or
despised
,
a
displeasure
arose
against
Mengrelius
,
and
this
opportunitie
made
them
the
willinger
to
ioyne
with
the
Prince
:
especially
Anzitemus
,
who
with
foure
legions
of
old
soldiers
came
in
person
to
his
ayde
:
as
for
Opacus
,
from
Phrigia
,
Lidia
,
and
his
owne
kingdome
,
he
made
an
Armie
of
one
hundred
20.
Thousand
,
and
gaue
the
Honor
of
their
conduct
to
Delano
a
man
of
experience
,
great
yeeres
,
and
well
beloued
;
yet
suppressed
from
aduancement
,
by
reason
Cuprax
the
sonne
of
the
Duke
of
Pantalia
,
seemed
a
fauorite
in
Courte
,
and
would
haue
drawne
the
managing
of
Martiall
affayres
to
him selfe
,
had
not
Trezoboro
by
name
entreated
for
Delano
,
and
the
Soldiers
compelled
out
of
their
Country
disclaimed
any
other
.
BVt
when
Mengrelius
vnderstood
,
that
Anzitemus
was
come
himselfe
,
a
sodaine
trembling
disproportioned
his
former
Courage
,
and
the
Oracle
(
like
a
hellish
vision
appearing
)
mightely
perplexed
him
,
and
was
indeed
the
author
of
strange
courses
,
which
at
last
ouerturned
his
good
successe
,
yet
he
went
orderly
to
worke
,
and
encountred
with
the
Armenians
,
before
they
were
vnited
to
his
sonns
forces
,
who
had
much
a
doe
to
make
their
passage
by
reason
the
Boates
were
not
yet
come
from
Trezoboro
,
and
Anzitemus
had
commaunded
,
that
no
man
should
lay
violent
By
this
time
is
Anzitemus
and
Delano
welcommed
by
the
Prince
,
who
hoping
by
course
of
pacification
to
end
the
Warre
,
sent
to
Mengrelius
by
faire
intreaty
not
to
conceiue
so
hardly
of
so
worthy
a
sonne
,
and
they
would
engage
their
Honor
,
he
entended
nothing
but
fayth
and
dutie
:
this
message
wrought
no
otherwise
,
then
if
Trezoboro
would
absolutely
committe
himselfe
to
his
fathers
tuition
without
hostage
or
other
couenant
,
it
might
be
the
Emperor
would
forgiue
him
,
to
this
Anzitemus
opposed
,
yeelding
many
reasons
,
and
by
a
second
treatie
vrged
the
burying
vnder
foote
of
all
displeasures
,
the
remission
and
restoring
his
followers
,
and
the
confirming
him
Heire
apparant
.
Heere
againe
Mengrelius
disdained
to
be
abridged
of
his
will
,
or
courbed
by
his
sonne
&
subiects
,
whereupon
defiance
was
proclaimed
on
all
sids
,
and
a
day
appoynted
to
entertaine
destruction
with
solemnitie
:
at
which
time
Anzitemus
tryed
another
way
to
appease
these
mischeefes
,
by
sommoning
the
Armies
to
audience
,
and
the
Emperour
to
vnderstand
,
what
must
be
trusted
vnto
.
To
this
,
the
feare
of
the
Souldiers
,
rather
then
his
owne
willingnesse
,
compelled
him
:
and
so
Anzitemus
in
the
front
of
his
Armie
thus
deliuered
his
minde
.
I
am
not
ignorant
(
great
Emperour
,
and
mis-led
people
)
that
Wisedome
and
good
Counsaile
are
sometimes
vnseasonable
,
especially
in
a
time
of
fury
&
hate
amongst
men
of
Warre
,
commaunded
and
countenanced
by
the
Kings
owne
person
;
yet
haue
you
no
such
cause
either
to
put
in
armes
these
men
,
or
Armed
to
make
them
butcher
them selues
:
For
though
the
Father
fight
there
,
the
Sonne
is
not
absent
heere
:
though
the
elder
Brother
vnderstanding
not
the
truth
,
is
with
Mengrelius
,
the
younger
attendes
on
Trezoboro
:
And
though
a
Friend
is
enroulled
with
you
,
one
of
the
Family
is
amongst
vs
:
and
were
not
this
lamentable
,
though
necessitie
compelled
it
?
But
now
to
proceed
with
out
order
,
ground
,
or
reason
,
what
scandall
can
be
more
opprobrious
?
What
cause
more
detestable
?
All
men
haue
written
,
that
Violence
continues
not
:
yet
haue
you
begun
in
the
Cradle
,
and
are
not
appeased
after
many
yeares
:
and
why
?
the
Emperour
is
terrefied
with
an
Oracle
,
and
suspects
his
owne
Children
.
Hath
the
Gods
preserued
them
for
this
?
Hath
his
Towardlinesse
deserued
this
?
Hath
his
Valloure
in
your
late
Broyles
been
shewed
for
this
?
Hath
his
Life
been
so
often
hazarded
for
this
?
Hath
your
Peace
been
wrought
for
this
?
Hath
your
Prosperitie
followed
for
this
?
Yea
,
hath
Strangers
been
ashamed
of
the
Composition
;
and
the
mighty
Kalucki
receiued
him
to
fauour
for
this
?
And
will
now
the
Common-wealth
teare
her
owne
Bowels
?
the
Members
seeke
their
owne
destruction
by
despising
the
Head
;
and
the
Father
murder
his
owne
Child
?
It
is
execrable
and
abhominable
.
But
touching
the
Prophesie
,
to
beleeue
it
not
,
what
needeth
this
feare
?
To
beleeue
it
,
what
way
of
preuention
?
But
you
will
say
,
it
is
ambiguous
.
I
reply
,
Malice
must
not
misconsture
,
nor
Wisedome
be
ouerruled
with
Supposes
.
For
concerning
the
Prince
,
(
by
the
Deuine
power
which
ruleth
all
Princes
)
you
can
alleadge
neither
cause
,
reason
,
nor
likelihood
.
How
then
haue
you
wronged
your
Renowne
,
and
insorcered
their
Obedience
?
else
would
they
neuer
consent
to
destroy
one
another
,
to
ruine
their
Countrey
,
make
hauocke
of
their
owne
increases
,
see
&
suffer
mischiefe
to
knocke
at
their
doores
;
and
with
the
Giants
fight
against
Heauen
:
or
like
that
vnnaturall
Bird
,
denowring
them
that
hatcheth
her
;
seeke
to
destroy
the
Successor
,
on
whose
safetie
dependeth
all
their
liues
.
Leaue
off
therefore
for
shame
:
leaue
off
;
either
yeeld
a
reason
of
your
actions
,
or
desist
from
your
vnreasonablenesse
?
But
you
will
answere
,
It
is
sufficient
the
Emperour
commaundes
.
I
doe
say
no
;
hee
is
but
the
Steward
of
the
Gods
,
subiect
to
account
;
and
ordained
to
forme
,
not
dissolue
the
Common-wealth
.
But
as
a
further
vehemencle
might
haue
agrauated
the
matter
,
the
Souldiers
began
to
repine
,
some
demaunding
whether
the
Prince
raysed
the
Warre
,
or
desired
to
saue
him selfe
?
Some
for
what
cause
Mengrelius
prosecuted
his
Sonne
?
Some
stomaked
to
see
intestine
Dissipation
.
Some
hardly
beleeued
the
Prince
began
Innouation
,
considering
he
was
to
expect
the
Kingdomes
to
florish
hereafter
.
Some
said
,
though
the
Emperor
were
offended
,
the
submission
of
a
Sonne
might
appease
any
Father
.
Some
absolutly
denied
to
destroy
the
Prince
,
and
the
rest
liked
not
,
a
wise
man
to
be
caryed
away
with
dreames
or
deuises
,
especially
when
the
ruine
of
the
Empire
must
succeed
:
but
Mengrelius
enraged
with
this
diuision
exclamed
only
on
dutie
and
alleageance
threatning
the
reuolters
with
death
,
and
attempting
with
stripes
to
terrefie
diuers
in
the
speed
of
escape
,
but
it
smally
preuailed
.
For
the
greatest
part
fled
a
fore
his
face
to
his
sonne
,
which
Anzitemus
tooke
the
aduantage
of
and
encountered
with
the
rest
in
sollemne
manner
of
hostillitie
,
so
that
a
terrible
fight
began
,
and
a
little
time
ouerlooked
a
dangerous
conflict
:
in
which
the
victory
was
a
mournfull
Triumph
:
For
it
ended
with
the
cryes
and
teares
of
Orphanes
for
their
Fathers
,
Fathers
for
their
Children
,
Brother
,
for
Brother
,
one
Kinsman
for
another
and
freend
for
freend
:
yea
such
was
the
misery
and
mischiefe
of
the
error
amongst
them
,
that
a
sonne
was
found
mourning
ouer
a
Carkasse
,
whom
he
had
slaine
,
and
perceiuing
it
his
owne
father
after
a
ruthfull
complaint
,
kild
himselfe
:
the
horror
of
which
sight
,
daunted
the
stoutest
courage
,
and
made
them
all
cry
out
vpon
the
cause
of
their
troubles
;
which
Anzitemus
tooke
hold
of
,
and
knowing
the
Emperor
had
escaped
(
and
as
he
afterward
lernt
)
to
Samarchanda
with
a
quiet
demeanor
recalled
them
togeather
,
and
though
the
Skirmish
and
their
owne
feares
had
disperced
them
farre
off
:
yet
handled
he
the
matter
so
well
,
that
they
were
contented
to
returne
;
and
finding
Trezoboro
as
sad
for
their
greifes
,
as
his
owne
misfortune
,
which
by
his
Honorable
protestations
in
the
necessitie
to
saue
his
life
,
and
vnwillingnesse
to
disquiet
so
good
subiects
,
they
saw
apparant
,
in
so
much
that
vnkind
teares
brake
off
the
Princely
discourse
:
they
shouted
for
ioy
,
and
with
a
new
Comicall
applause
sware
,
they
would
obey
no
other
Emperor
then
Trezoboro
:
as
for
Mengrelius
seeing
his
ill
disposition
had
taught
him
the
way
to
Tyranie
,
they
sawe
no
reason
to
betray
vertue
,
or
be
in
subiection
any
longer
to
inhumanitie
.
Surely
sayed
Anzitemus
,
the
Gods
haue
taken
compassion
vpon
you
,
and
you
and
we
will
now
be
one
body
,
but
of
necessitie
the
body
must
haue
a
head
,
or
else
the
Members
perish
,
therefore
we
will
inuest
Trezoboro
your
Emperor
,
and
he
shall
renew
your
peace
and
comfortes
:
This
(
as
according
to
their
owne
desires
)
they
soone
consented
to
,
and
so
in
midst
of
all
the
Armie
was
he
aduanced
,
inuested
,
and
solemnly
proclaymed
Emperour
of
Trebizond
,
and
all
the
Peace
,
Lord
of
the
great
Sea
,
and
Seruant
to
the
high
Gods
.
Then
sange
they
a
Himne
in
his
honour
to
Bellona
,
and
a
Song
to
Diana
.
And
lastly
,
with
Panegericall
Ceremonies
,
they
brought
him
to
Mengrelius
royall
Tent
,
which
the
Souldiers
had
reuerently
preserued
in
the
defeat
.
But
when
vnfortunate
Peristoll
(
whom
for
his
ill
newes
he
commaunded
to
be
slaine
)
had
enformed
the
proceedings
of
the
Campe
,
and
that
the
Prince
had
taken
vpon
him
the
Diademne
,
neuer
was
impatience
apter
to
be
described
:
For
now
he
raged
indeed
,
and
put
in
practise
many
actions
of
distemperature
,
as
assuring
him selfe
the
Oracle
was
compleat
;
onely
the
last
poynt
(
which
was
his
death
)
yeelded
more
terrour
in
the
suspition
,
then
a
thousand
mischiefes
in
full
execution
:
Yet
he
lifted
vp
once
againe
the
countenance
of
Valloure
,
and
with
his
supply
out
of
Russia
,
many
Mercenaries
from
Scithia
and
Europa
,
and
the
rest
,
(
worthy
to
be
beloued
for
being
true
to
their
Maister
,
)
hee
set
forward
a
mightier
Armie
then
the
first
;
which
in
short
time
confronted
his
Aduersaries
,
who
were
comming
forward
apace
to
take
possession
of
the
Citties
:
So
that
nothing
was
to
be
expected
,
but
forcible
and
confused
Prophanation
both
of
loue
and
dutie
;
wherefore
they
gaue
Reuenge
full
scope
to
make
one
day
of
death
for
all
:
And
the
Battaile
began
with
a
horrible
and
impetuous
violence
,
wherein
to
see
the
distempred
Mengrelius
with
a
well
graced
fury
whirling
amongst
the
troupes
,
would
haue
pittied
his
degenerating
humors
,
and
admired
his
strength
and
valoure
;
but
Trezoboros
approache
deuided
these
thoughts
,
who
finding
the
Emperour
enclosed
to
his
great
danger
contrary
to
expectation
,
commaunded
them
to
desist
,
and
so
yeelded
him
freedome
to
worke
his
madnesse
on
some
other
subiect
.
An
other
time
Anzitemus
chaunced
where
destruction
indeed
was
comming
apace
,
and
deliuered
him
:
which
hee
tooke
in
greater
scorne
,
because
the
Souldiers
cryed
,
See
the
kindnesse
of
Trezoboro
:
see
the
pietie
of
Anzitemus
.
But
this
I
say
caryed
him
to
disdaine
indeed
;
and
perceiuing
him selfe
spared
by
speciall
appoyntment
,
hee
changed
his
Horse
and
Armour
,
comming
into
the
Battaile
vnknowne
,
(
For
by
this
time
,
neither
Order
nor
Discipline
serued
)
and
determined
to
single
out
his
Sonne
,
with
such
a
minde
,
as
a
man
after
a
solemne
Vow
,
which
he
is
resolued
to
keepe
,
endeuoreth
to
bring
to
effect
.
But
Anzitemus
(
hauing
seene
Perneades
sequester
him selfe
from
the
company
,
with
purpose
to
draw
foorth
such
men
as
he
prouided
in
ambush
)
supposed
the
Emperour
had
been
hee
,
and
so
encountred
with
him
before
the
sodaine
approch
might
strike
a
feare
amongst
the
wearied
,
and
already
fainting
troopes
;
and
after
a
gallant
Battaile
,
Death
rushed
in
with
a
blow
,
which
the
King
with
both
his
hands
stroke
at
his
head
,
whose
steely
Couert
not
firmely
setled
,
yeelded
to
the
violence
;
shewing
that
nothing
in
the
world
is
permanent
,
nor
any
man
in
life
secure
:
so
the
Emperour
shruncke
vnder
the
burden
of
this
misfortune
,
&
yeelded
to
an
honorable
vntimelines
:
But
when
Anzitemus
had
time
to
ouerlooke
,
and
know
it
was
Mengrelius
,
vnkinde
remembrance
confounded
him
with
sorrow
at
the
accident
,
and
cursed
the
hand
,
that
yet
pleaded
ignorance
in
the
deed
;
remayning
confounded
,
vntill
the
rumour
and
entercourse
of
people
brought
Trezoboro
thither
:
at
last
came
Calisthenes
,
Orchanes
,
Hardubax
:
at
last
came
the
rest
;
all
more
troubled
with
griefe
,
then
proud
of
their
owne
quietnesse
:
so
that
the
Victorie
represented
variety
of
Discomfort
,
rather
then
solemnity
of
a
Triumph
:
For
what
with
recording
those
many
Vertues
abounding
in
him
,
whereof
euery
one
had
bountifully
participated
;
and
the
present
spectacle
so
full
of
remorse
,
they
sorrowed
beyond
measure
,
and
Trezoboro
was
compelled
to
make
his
entrance
into
the
Empire
with
incongruent
demeanour
,
&
had
celebrated
(
if
the
State
would
haue
permitted
it
)
with
one
solemnity
his
fathers
Exequies
,
and
his
owne
Coronation
.
By
this
time
,
was
the
Oracle
published
abrod
,
&
wisedome
interdicted
an
vnmeasurable
discomfort
in
a
matter-remediles
,
&
appoynted
ineuitable
:
so
to
make
a
new
account
with
delight
,
Anzitemus
was
importuned
to
send
for
Brizaca
,
least
she
were
altogeather
depriued
of
that
benefite
,
(
which
Children
receiue
from
the
knowledge
of
their
Parents
.
)
This
asked
a
litle
time
of
deliberation
:
but
the
importunities
of
the
Empresses
preuailed
;
so
the
charge
of
the
Iorney
was
committed
to
Philtranus
Prince
of
Cilicia
:
As
for
the
Army
,
he
deuided
that
into
two
parts
,
sending
the
one
by
land
vnder
the
command
of
Kazopletus
;
the
other
by
Sea
with
Pelorus
sonne
of
Pelorus
,
Artabazes
Admirall
:
both
to
remaine
vndissolued
,
till
hee
him selfe
returned
;
in
the
meane
while
,
his
Mother
Euphamia
to
rest
Regent
by
a
new
Commission
.
These
matters
had
the
effect
of
diligence
and
loyalty
,
&
Philtranus
came
fortunately
into
Armenia
,
&
informed
the
Queene
of
all
occurrents
,
with
the
plausible
directions
for
her
progresse
to
Trebizond
.
Heere
the
intermixtion
of
contraries
,
kept
her
from
the
full
entertainement
of
ioy
;
so
that
her
Fathers
Catastrophe
extinguished
the
delight
of
her
Brothers
aduancement
:
to
which
an
other
home
mischiefe
was
added
,
the
returne
of
Cleonidas
,
who
presuming
on
the
absence
of
Anzitemus
,
and
the
Nauie
vnder
Pelorus
,
entred
the
Confines
of
Armenia
,
and
attempted
a
ridiculous
Innouation
.
But
before
we
certifie
this
Aduenture
,
let
vs
see
,
how
Fortune
ouerlooked
him
in
the
danger
after
the
Sea-fight
with
Anzitemus
.
BY
that
time
,
Cleonidas
and
Anzitemus
(
through
stroke
him
to
the
heart
,
and
(
because
his
pestilent
humour
had
no
subiect
to
worke
vpon
)
it
boyld
within
him
like
a
Furnace
,
ouerheating
all
the
partes
of
his
body
and
minde
,
so
that
he
could
haue
been
contented
to
haue
made
his
owne
seperation
,
considering
a
guilty
Conscience
laide
open
the
records
of
so
many
faults
:
But
euen
when
Death
had
been
most
beneficiall
,
the
necessitie
of
Life
,
with
the
kindnesse
of
the
impartiall
element
,
draue
the
vnfirme
Seate
wheron
he
sate
to
another
peece
of
a
Shippe
,
from
whence
ouerburdned
,
hee
saw
fourteene
cast
into
the
Sea
,
as
supposing
it
the
nearest
way
to
Heauen
,
through
the
reflexion
the
Heauens
made
in
the
Water
:
On
this
by
great
chaunce
he
got
,
and
was
tossed
too
and
fro
with
the
Billowes
,
as
if
Destruction
meant
to
make
a
Game
of
his
danger
:
at
last
after
two
dayes
,
hee
was
driuen
on
a
sandie
Iland
not
farre
from
the
Continent
of
Persia
;
wherein
he
mused
at
his
owne
ignorance
,
that
hauing
so
long
time
scowred
all
the
coast
of
the
Hircanian
Sea
,
hee
was
yet
vnacquainted
with
this
place
.
Heere
a
very
instinct
of
Nature
put
him
to
his
shiftes
,
and
by
striking
two
Flintes
on
certaine
Reeds
lying
in
the
place
,
he
shuffled
vp
a
Fire
;
whose
effects
made
the
returne
of
warmth
and
strength
,
the
maintainers
of
life
:
at
which
the
inhabitants
(
who
were
onely
Seruants
and
Officers
attending
on
the
Priestes
heere
liuing
)
wondred
,
who
had
presumed
without
order
of
Ceremony
,
to
dishonour
the
place
:
For
this
was
called
the
Iland
of
Fire
,
and
had
two
Chappels
therein
;
one
dedicated
to
Vulcano
,
the
other
to
the
Sanne
;
in
which
after
the
Persian
manner
,
the
Priestes
were
appoynted
to
liue
,
who
onely
had
power
to
giue
leaue
to
the
Inhabitants
to
make
their
Fiers
for
necessities
sake
;
which
yet
was
not
done
without
presence
of
a
Religious
man
:
Wherevpon
they
apprehended
Cleonidas
,
and
brought
him
to
Sicambus
the
Archpriest
in
the
same
manner
they
found
him
:
But
when
with
an
extraordinary
courage
in
the
Sirian
language
(
because
hee
was
to
speake
to
a
man
of
his
profession
)
he
discouered
him selfe
,
and
that
Sicambus
vnueiled
his
ignorance
,
remembring
hee
had
seene
him
with
Astiages
in
Persia
,
&
by
many
meanes
heard
of
his
fame
,
he
comforted
him
the
best
hee
could
;
but
the
best
he
could
,
preuented
not
a
strange
Sicknesse
,
which
with
an
vnkind
detention
kept
him
full
two
yeares
retiered
,
and
confirmed
their
opinion
,
which
supposed
him
perished
:
in
the
end
,
the
firmenesse
of
his
compleat
manhood
,
and
well
seasoned
body
,
ouermaistred
the
tiranny
,
and
he
recouered
both
in
health
and
reformation
:
for
after
his
penitency
had
protested
a
remorce
of
the
action
against
Artabazes
,
and
abiured
his
ill
manner
of
life
;
the
religious
Father
cheared
him
with
the
comfort
,
which
followes
true
repentance
,
and
by
examples
confirmed
his
willingnesse
to
amendment
.
Vpon
this
,
they
appoynted
to
goe
into
Persia
,
and
accordingly
ariued
at
Suziana
much
about
the
time
Anzitemus
fortunes
were
published
through
Asia
;
which
he
rather
woondred
,
then
stomaked
at
,
not
doubting
to
make
his
peace
and
reconsiliation
,
which
his
hope
supposed
by
Zaloppos
meanes
(
when
the
Persian
Embassadours
went
to
Armenia
)
to
bring
to
passe
:
But
their
returne
certified
Anzitemus
slight
answere
in
that
behalfe
,
and
hee
smothered
the
indignation
for
a
time
;
but
vnable
to
suppresse
it
,
gaue
Libertie
at
last
,
to
burst
foorth
into
flames
of
Despight
,
and
in
this
manner
proceeded
.
Certaine
summes
of
Mony
disbursed
for
Astiages
,
he
demaunded
of
the
Queene
Roxana
:
which
awhile
bred
scruple
and
doubt
,
by
reason
of
their
Articles
with
Anzitemus
and
Artabanus
;
yet
after
a
little
debating
,
they
were
repayed
with
a
plenary
cancelling
of
all
accounts
:
For
being
a
matter
chancing
before
this
new
Contract
,
and
in
her
Fathers
behalfe
,
shee
thought
it
dishonorable
to
trifle
him
out
with
deuises
or
excuses
.
Many
of
his
Souldiers
setled
in
their
Townes
,
which
the
hast
of
his
busines
permitted
not
to
carry
with
him
,
he
requested
againe
:
This
was
left
to
their
owne
desires
,
because
in
this
space
maried
,
and
brought
vp
amongst
them
,
they
would
not
seeme
to
banish
them
by
compulsion
:
So
the
most
of
them
louing
Spoyles
better
then
Pay
,
hasted
to
Cleonidas
.
With
this
Mony
and
this
Supply
,
he
departed
to
his
owne
Iland
,
and
gathering
his
Friends
and
Confederats
togeather
,
with
fourty
sayle
of
well
appointed
Ships
,
and
fiftie
Hulks
for
the
transportation
of
his
Army
,
he
tooke
the
aduantage
of
the
Kings
absence
in
the
Trebizondian
Warres
,
and
made
speed
for
Armenia
,
landing
his
Forces
at
such
time
,
as
Kazopletus
and
Pelorus
were
returned
from
Anzitemus
;
and
Philtranus
came
with
directions
to
attende
the
Queene
Brisaca
to
her
Mother
.
But
this
they
were
ignorant
of
,
and
diuers
vnsetled
Humors
,
as
idle
persons
,
and
endangered
to
the
Law
;
vpon
the
tumour
of
Cleonidas
ariuall
,
to
the
number
of
foureteene
thousand
,
made
a
head
in
nature
of
Particeans
,
and
certified
,
they
were
ready
,
and
resolued
to
ioyne
with
him
;
for
their
hearts
and
discontentments
,
had
engaged
them
already
;
as
if
they
meant
to
giue
this
notice
,
that
in
the
best
Hiue
there
be
Drones
and
robbers
of
them
that
labour
:
but
as
their
willingnes
set
them
forward
,
their
forwardnes
puld
them
backe
,
as
disordered
without
a
Head
,
and
hauing
bad
intelligence
:
For
the
vnlooktfor
comming
of
Kazopletus
ouertooke
them
with
that
speed
,
that
Cleonidas
had
scarc
notice
,
before
the
distraction
dispersed
and
Iustice
quickly
scourged
them
all
.
Thus
was
this
fanaticall
Company
discomfited
,
and
Cleonidas
in
a
manner
as
soone
ouerthrowne
:
For
vpon
report
,
how
Mischance
had
put
on
a
double
visage
against
him
,
he
made
a
retreat
to
his
Ships
;
but
ere
he
could
house
his
men
,
Kazopletus
by
land
,
and
Pelorus
by
Sea
,
had
so
hemnd
him
in
,
that
though
it
prooued
a
gallant
and
tedious
Skirmish
,
full
of
obseruation
and
example
;
yet
his
Fleete
was
suncke
and
dissipated
,
his
Companies
quite
defeated
,
and
him selfe
taken
prisoner
,
and
sent
to
Sagarena
,
where
Brizaca
kept
her
Court
;
but
shee
vnwilling
to
proceed
against
him
without
directions
from
Anzitemus
,
by
the
counfaile
of
Euphamia
,
committed
him
to
Ward
in
the
same
place
,
where
his
Father
had
once
besiedged
the
beautious
Artaxata
.
When
Cleonidas
saw
him selfe
thus
disappoynted
and
captiued
,
and
that
the
last
Acte
of
his
Tragedy
was
in
hand
,
to
which
the
Gates
of
Shame
and
Death
;
or
Death
with
the
shame
stood
onely
open
,
he
made
it
a
matter
of
some
repining
:
yet
as
a
man
of
excellent
Resolution
,
hee
neither
seemed
much
dismayed
,
or
abated
:
For
to
complaine
of
Godes
,
or
Men
,
of
Fortune
,
or
the
World
,
he
thought
it
a
property
of
such
,
as
desired
to
liue
.
Againe
,
to
crane
pardone
,
sue
to
Friends
,
and
make
base
Submission
,
hee
imputed
to
such
as
feared
to
die
;
so
that
Death
appeared
now
like
a
welcome
Friend
,
if
the
reproch
might
be
taken
away
,
which
made
such
an
impression
,
that
he
protested
Anzitemus
should
not
triumph
in
his
disgrace
,
not
vse
his
liuing
body
contumeliously
:
yet
when
there
seemed
want
of
meanes
to
effect
this
glorious
Acte
(
as
hee
supposed
)
beeing
left
destitute
of
all
prouision
,
hee
then
boyled
for
very
rage
,
and
was
enforced
to
coole
him selfe
with
a
Cup
of
cold
Water
;
which
working
a
better
temperature
,
somewhat
reduced
him
,
and
then
he
reprehended
his
dulnesse
,
that
conceiued
not
the
infinite
wayes
,
whereat
Death
might
make
her
entrance
;
wherevpon
with
circumspection
(
as
if
Desperatnesse
meant
to
intreat
her
contrary
aduise
)
hee
searched
about
the
Chamber
,
at
last
finding
a
rysing
in
the
Wall
,
where
a
Flint
shoued
out
his
Corner
,
with
a
maine
careere
he
dashed
With
the
death
of
Cleonidas
,
remayned
Armenia
fully
quieted
,
and
Brizaca
without
further
suspition
,
might
prepare
for
her
progresse
;
to
which
the
industry
of
Philiranus
,
and
the
dutie
of
her
Subiectes
added
outward
Ritches
and
Pompe
;
nor
was
shee
behinde
them
for
State
and
Maiestie
:
So
that
shee
set
forward
to
their
Ioy
and
Amazement
from
whence
shee
came
,
&
to
their
Delight
&
Contentment
,
to
whom
shee
went
.
But
when
Anzitemus
vnderstood
of
Cleonidas
death
,
hee
tooke
the
newes
(
as
it
were
in
ill
part
,
)
because
hee
thought
him selfe
disappoynted
of
a
great
deale
of
Honour
in
the
courses
meant
toward
him
:
yet
ballansing
the
assurance
of
his
owne
Peace
and
quietnes
withall
,
hee
gaue
way
to
more
seasonable
desires
,
and
seemed
satisfied
with
the
wantonnesse
of
the
time
,
and
the
pleasure
of
the
place
,
which
delighted
with
varietie
:
so
that
if
his
owne
importunities
had
not
compelled
his
returne
into
Armenia
,
hee
might
very
easily
haue
vsurped
the
felicitie
of
another
Kingdome
.
