THE
HISTORIE
OF
DORASTUS
AND
FAWNIA
.
AMong
al
the
Passions
wherewith
humane
mindes
are
perplexed
,
there
is
none
that
so
galleth
with
restlesse
despight
,
as
the
infectious
soare
of
Iealousie
:
for
all
other
griefes
are
eyther
to
bee
appeased
with
sensible
perswasions
,
to
be
cured
with
wholesome
counsel
,
to
be
relieued
in
want
,
or
by
tract
of
tune
to
be
worne
out
,
(
Iealousie
only
excepted
)
which
is
so
sawsed
with
suspitious
doubtes
,
and
pinching
mistrust
,
that
whoso
seekes
by
friendly
counsaile
to
rase
out
this
hellish
passion
,
it
foorthwith
suspecteth
that
he
geueth
this
aduise
to
couer
his
owne
guiltinesse
.
Yea
,
who
so
is
payned
with
this
restlesse
torment
doubteth
all
,
dystrusteth
him-selfe
,
is
alwayes
frosen
with
feare
,
and
fired
with
suspition
,
hauing
that
wherein
consisteth
all
his
ioy
,
to
be
the
br●eder
of
his
miserie
.
Yea
,
it
is
such
a
heauy
enemy
to
that
holy
estate
of
matrimony
,
sowing
betweene
the
married
couples
such
deadly
seedes
of
secret
hatred
,
as
Loue
being
once
rased
out
by
spightful
distrust
,
there
oft
ensueth
bloudy
reuenge
,
as
this
ensuing
Hystorie
manifestly
prooueth
:
wherein
Pandosto
(
furiously
incensed
by
causelesse
Iealousie
)
procured
the
death
of
his
most
loving
and
loyall
wife
,
and
his
owne
endlesse
sorrow
and
misery
.
IN
the
Countrey
of
Bohemia
there
raygned
a
King
called
Pandosto
,
whose
fortunate
successe
in
warres
against
his
foes
,
and
bountifull
curtesie
towardes
his
friendes
in
peace
,
made
him
to
be
greatly
feared
and
loued
of
all
men
.
This
Pandosto
had
to
Wife
a
Ladie
called
Bellaria
,
by
birth
royall
,
learned
by
education
,
faire
by
nature
,
by
vertues
famous
,
so
that
it
was
hard
to
iudge
whether
her
beautie
,
fortune
,
or
vertue
,
wanne
the
greatest
commendations
.
These
two
lincked
together
in
perfect
loue
,
led
their
liues
with
such
fortunate
content
,
that
their
Subiects
greatly
reioyced
to
sée
their
quiet
disposition
.
They
had
not
beene
married
long
,
but
Fortune
(
willing
to
increase
their
happines
)
lent
them
a
sonne
,
so
adorned
with
the
gifts
of
nature
,
as
the
perfection
of
the
Childe
greatly
augmented
the
loue
of
the
parentes
,
and
the
ioy
of
their
commons
:
in
so
much
that
the
Bohemians
,
to
shew
their
inward
ioyes
by
outwarde
actions
,
made
Bonefires
and
triumphs
throughout
all
the
Kingdome
,
appointing
Iustes
and
Turneyes
for
the
honour
of
their
young
Prince
:
whether
resorted
not
only
his
Nobles
,
but
also
diuers
Kings
and
Princes
which
were
his
neighbours
,
willing
to
shewe
their
friendship
they
ought
to
Pandosto
,
and
to
win
fame
and
glory
by
their
prowesse
and
valour
.
Pandosto
,
whose
minde
was
fraught
with
princely
liberality
,
entertayned
the
Kings
,
Princes
,
and
noble
men
with
such
submisse
curtesie
,
and
magnifical
bounty
,
that
they
all
sawe
how
willing
he
was
to
gratifie
their
good
wils
,
making
a
generall
feast
for
his
Subiects
,
which
continued
by
the
space
of
twentie
dayes
:
all
which
time
the
Iustes
and
Turneys
were
kept
to
the
great
content
both
of
the
Lordes
&
Ladies
there
present
.
This
solemne
tryumph
being
once
ended
,
the
assembly
taking
their
leaue
of
Pandosto
and
Bellaria
:
the
young
sonne
(
who
was
called
Garinter
)
was
nursed
vp
in
the
house
,
to
the
great
ioy
and
content
of
the
parents
.
Fortune
enuious
of
such
happy
successe
,
willing
to
shewe
some
signe
of
her
inconstantie
,
turned
her
wheele
,
and
darkned
their
bright
sun
of
prosperitie
,
with
the
mistie
cloudes
of
mishap
and
misery
.
For
it
so
happened
that
Egistus
King
of
Sycilia
,
who
in
his
youth
had
bene
brought
vp
with
Pandosto
,
desirous
to
shewe
that
neither
tracte
of
time
,
nor
distance
of
place
could
diminish
their
former
friendship
,
prouided
a
nauie
of
ships
,
and
sayled
into
Bohemia
to
visite
his
old
friend
and
companion
,
who
hearing
of
his
arriuall
,
went
himselfe
in
person
,
and
his
wife
Bellaria
,
accompanied
with
a
great
traine
of
Lords
and
Ladies
,
to
meete
Egistus
:
and
espying
him
,
alighted
from
his
horse
,
embraced
him
very
louingly
,
protesting
that
nothing
in
the
world
could
haue
happened
more
acceptable
to
him
then
his
comming
,
wishing
his
wife
to
welcome
his
olde
friend
and
acquaintance
:
who
(
to
shewe
how
she
liked
him
whom
her
husband
loued
)
intertayned
him
with
such
familiar
curtesie
,
as
Egistus
perceiued
himselfe
to
bée
verie
well
welcome
.
After
they
had
thus
saluted
and
embraced
eche
other
,
they
mounted
againe
on
horsbacke
,
and
rode
toward
the
Citie
,
deuising
and
recounting
,
howe
being
children
they
had
passed
their
youth
in
friendely
pastimes
:
where
,
by
the
meanes
of
the
Citizens
,
Egistus
was
receyued
with
triumphs
and
showes
in
such
sort
,
that
he
maruelled
how
on
so
small
a
warning
they
coulde
make
such
preparation
.
Passing
the
streetes
thus
with
such
rare
sightes
,
they
rode
on
to
the
Pallace
,
where
Pandosto
entertained
Egistus
and
his
Sycilians
with
such
banqueting
and
sumptuous
cheare
,
so
royally
,
as
they
all
had
cause
to
commend
his
princely
liberality
,
yea
,
the
verie
basest
slaue
that
was
knowne
to
come
from
Sycilia
was
vsed
with
such
curtesie
,
that
Egistus
might
easily
perceiue
how
both
hee
and
his
were
honored
for
his
friendes
sake
.
Bellaria
(
who
in
her
time
was
the
flower
of
curtesie
,
willing
to
shew
how
vnfaynedly
shee
looued
her
husband
by
his
friends
intertainement
,
vsed
him
likewise
so
familiarly
,
that
her
countenance
bewraied
how
her
minde
was
affected
towardes
him
:
oftentimes
comming
her selfe
into
his
bed
chamber
,
to
sée
that
nothing
should
be
amis
to
mislike
him
.
This
honest
familiarity
increased
dayly
more
and
more
betwixt
them
:
for
Bellaria
noting
in
Egistus
a
princely
and
bountifull
minde
,
adorned
with
sundrie
and
excellent
qualities
,
and
Egistus
finding
in
her
a
vertuous
and
curteous
disposition
,
there
grew
such
a
secret
vniting
of
their
affections
,
that
the
one
could
not
well
be
without
the
company
of
the
other
:
in
so
much
that
when
Pandosto
was
busied
with
such
vrgent
affaires
,
that
hee
could
not
bee
present
with
his
friend
Egistus
,
Bellaria
would
walke
with
him
into
the
Garden
,
where
they
two
in
priuat
and
pleasant
deuises
would
passe
away
the
time
to
both
their
contents
.
This
custome
still
continuing
betwixt
them
,
a
certaine
melancholy
passion
entring
the
minde
of
Pandosto
,
draue
him
into
sundry
and
doubtfull
thoughts
.
First
,
he
called
to
minde
the
beauty
of
his
wife
Bellaria
,
the
comelines
and
brauerie
of
his
friend
Egistus
,
thinking
that
Loue
was
aboue
all
Lawes
,
and
therefore
to
be
staied
with
no
Law
:
that
it
was
hard
to
put
fire
and
flaxe
together
without
burning
:
that
their
open
pleasures
might
breede
his
secrete
displeasures
.
He
considered
with
himselfe
that
Egistus
was
a
man
,
and
must
needes
loue
:
that
his
wife
was
a
woman
,
and
therfore
subiect
vnto
loue
,
and
that
where
fancy
forced
,
friendship
was
of
no
force
.
These
and
such
like
doubtfull
thoughtes
a
long
time
smoothering
in
his
stomacke
,
beganne
at
last
to
kindle
in
his
minde
a
secret
mistrust
,
which
increased
by
suspition
,
grewe
at
last
to
a
flaming
Iealousie
,
that
so
tormented
him
as
he
could
take
no
rest
.
He
then
began
to
measure
all
their
actions
,
and
to
miscenstrue
of
their
too
priuate
familiaritie
,
iudging
that
it
was
not
for
honest
affection
,
but
for
disordinate
fancy
,
so
that
hee
began
to
watch
them
more
narrowely
,
to
sée
if
hée
could
gette
any
true
or
certaine
proofe
to
confirme
his
doubtfull
suspition
.
While
thus
he
noted
their
lookes
and
gestures
,
and
suspected
their
thoughtes
and
meaninges
,
they
two
séely
soules
who
doubted
nothing
of
this
his
treacherous
intent
,
frequented
daily
eache
others
companie
,
which
draue
him
into
such
a
franticke
passion
,
that
he
beganne
to
beare
a
secret
hate
to
Egistus
,
and
a
lowring
countenaunce
to
Bellaria
,
who
marueiling
at
such
vnaccustomed
frowns
,
began
to
cast
béeyond
the
Moone
,
and
to
enter
into
a
thousand
sundrie
thoughtes
,
which
way
she
should
offend
her
husband
:
but
finding
in
her selfe
a
cleare
conscience
,
ceassed
to
muse
,
vntil
such
time
as
she
might
find
fit
opportunitie
to
demaund
the
cause
of
his
dumps
.
In
the
meane
time
Pandostoes
minde
was
so
farre
charged
with
Iealousy
,
that
he
did
no
longer
doubt
,
but
was
assu●●ed
(
as
he
thought
)
that
his
Friend
Egistus
had
entered
a
wrong
pointe
in
his
tables
,
and
so
had
played
him
false
play
:
whervpon
desirous
to
reuenge
so
great
an
iniury
,
he
thought
best
to
dissemble
the
grudge
with
a
faire
and
friendly
countenance
:
and
so
vnder
the
shape
of
a
friend
,
to
shew
him
the
tricke
of
a
foe
.
Deuising
with
himself
a
long
time
how
he
might
best
put
away
Egistus
without
suspition
of
treacherous
murder
,
hee
concluded
at
last
to
poyson
him
:
which
opinion
pleasing
his
humour
,
he
became
resolute
in
his
determination
,
and
the
better
to
bring
the
matter
to
passe
he
called
vnto
him
his
cupbearer
,
with
whom
in
secret
he
brake
the
matter
:
promising
to
him
for
the
performance
thereof
,
to
geue
him
a
thowsande
crownes
of
yearely
reuenues
:
his
cupbearer
eyther
being
of
a
good
conscience
,
or
willing
for
fashion
sake
,
to
deny
such
a
bloudy
request
,
began
with
great
reasons
to
perswade
Pandosto
from
his
determinate
mischief
:
shewing
him
what
an
offence
murther
was
to
the
Gods
:
how
such
vnnaturall
actions
did
more
displease
the
heauens
,
than
deuoide
of
pity
,
commanded
that
without
delay
it
should
bee
put
in
the
boat
,
hauing
neither
saile
nor
other
to
guid
it
,
and
so
to
bee
carried
into
the
midst
of
the
sea
,
and
there
left
to
the
wind
&
waue
as
the
destinies
please
to
appoint
.
The
very
shipmen
seeing
the
sweete
countenance
of
the
yong
babe
,
began
to
accuse
the
King
of
rigor
,
and
to
pity
the
childs
hard
fortune
:
but
feare
constrayned
them
to
that
which
their
nature
did
abhorre
:
so
that
they
placed
it
in
one
of
the
ends
of
the
boat
,
and
with
a
few
greene
bows
made
a
homely
cabben
to
shroud
it
as
they
could
from
wind
and
weather
:
hauing
thus
trimmed
the
boat
they
tied
it
to
a
ship
,
and
so
haled
it
into
the
mayne
Sea
,
and
then
cut
in
sunder
the
coarde
,
which
they
had
no
sooner
done
,
but
there
arose
a
mighty
tempest
,
which
tossed
the
little
Boate
so
vehemently
in
the
waues
,
that
the
shipmen
thought
it
coulde
not
continue
longe
without
sincking
,
yea
the
storme
grewe
so
great
,
that
with
much
labour
and
perill
they
got
to
the
shoare
.
But
leauing
the
Childe
to
her
fortunes
.
Againe
to
Pandosto
,
who
not
yet
glutted
with
sufficient
reuenge
,
deuised
which
way
he
should
best
increase
his
Wiues
calamitie
.
But
first
assembling
his
Nobles
and
Counsellors
,
hee
called
her
for
the
more
reproch
into
open
Court
,
where
it
was
obiected
against
her
,
that
she
had
committed
adulterie
with
Egistus
,
and
conspired
with
Franion
to
poyson
Pondosto
her
husband
,
but
their
pretence
being
partely
spyed
,
shee
counselled
them
to
flie
away
by
night
for
their
better
safety
.
Bellaria
,
who
standing
like
a
prisoner
at
the
Barre
,
feeling
in
her selfe
a
cleare
Conscience
to
withstand
her
false
accusers
:
seeing
that
no
lesse
then
death
could
pacifie
her
husbands
wrath
,
waxed
bolde
,
and
desired
that
she
might
haue
Lawe
and
Iustice
,
for
mercy
shee
neyther
craued
nor
hoped
for
,
and
that
those
periured
wretches
,
which
had
falsly
accused
her
to
the
King
,
might
be
brought
before
her
face
,
to
giue
in
euidence
.
But
Pandosto
,
whose
rage
and
Iealousie
was
such
,
as
no
reason
,
nor
equitie
could
appease
:
tolde
her
,
that
for
her
accusers
they
were
of
such
credite
,
as
their
wordes
were
sufficient
witnesse
,
and
that
the
sodaine
&
secret
flight
of
Egistus
,
&
Franion
confirmed
that
which
they
had
confessed
:
and
as
for
her
,
it
was
her
parte
to
deny
such
a
monstrus
crime
,
and
to
be
impudent
in
forswearing
the
fact
,
since
shee
had
past
all
shame
in
committing
the
fault
:
but
her
stale
countenaunce
should
stand
for
no
coyne
,
for
as
the
Bastard
which
she
bare
was
serued
,
so
she
should
with
some
cruell
death
be
requited
.
Bellaria
no
whit
dismayed
with
this
rough
reply
●
tolde
her
Husband
Pandosto
,
that
he
spake
vpon
choller●
,
and
not
con●●●●ence
:
for
her
vertuous
life
had
beene
euer
such
,
as
no
spot
of
suspition
could
euer
staine
.
And
if
she
had
borne
a
frendly
countedaunce
to
Egistus
,
it
was
in
respect
he
was
his
friende
,
and
not
for
any
lusting
affection
:
therefore
if
she
were
condemned
without
a●y
further
proofe
,
it
was
rigour
,
and
not
Law
.
The
noble
men
which
sate
in
iudgement
,
said
that
Bellaria
spake
reason
,
and
intreated
the
king
that
the
accusers
might
be
openly
examined
,
and
sworne
,
and
if
then
the
euidence
were
such
,
as
the
Iury
might
finde
her
guilty
(
for
seeing
she
was
a
Prince
)
she
ought
to
be
●ryed
by
her
péeres
,
then
let
her
haue
such
punishment
as
the
extremitie
of
the
Law
will
assigne
to
such
malefactors
.
The
king
presently
made
answere
,
that
in
this
case
he
might
,
and
would
dispence
with
the
Law
,
and
that
the
Iury
being
once
panneld
,
they
should
take
his
word
for
sufficient
euidence
,
otherwise
he
would
make
the
proudest
of
them
repent
it
.
The
noble
men
séeing
the
king
in
choler
,
were
all
whist
,
but
Bellaria
,
whose
life
then
hung
in
the
ballaunce
,
fearing
more
perpetuall
infamie
,
then
momentarie
death
,
tolde
the
king●
if
his
furie
might
stand
for
a
Law
,
that
it
were
vaine
to
haue
the
Iury
yéeld
their
verdit
,
and
therefore
she
fell
downe
vpon
her
knées
,
and
desired
the
king
that
for
the
loue
he
hare
to
his
young
sonne
Garinter
,
whome
she
brought
into
the
world
,
that
hee
woulde
graunt
her
a
request
,
which
was
this
,
that
it
would
please
his
maiestie
to
send
sixe
of
his
noble
men
whome
he
best
trusted
,
to
the
Isle
of
Delphos
,
there
to
enquire
of
the
Oracle
of
Apollo
,
whether
she
had
committed
adultery
with
Egistus
,
or
conspired
to
poyson
him
with
Franion
:
and
if
the
God
Apollo
,
who
by
his
deuine
essence
knew
al
secrets
,
gaue
answere
that
she
was
guiltie
,
she
were
content
to
suffer
any
torment
,
were
it
neuer
so
terrible
.
The
request
was
so
reasonable
,
that
Pandosto
could
not
for
shame
deny
it
,
vnlesse
he
woulde
d●e
counted
of
all
his
subiects
more
wilfull
then
wise
,
he
therefore
agréed
,
that
with
as
much
speede
as
might
be
there
should
be
certaine
Embassadores
dispat●●ed
to
the
Ile
of
Delphost
●●d
in
the
meane
season
be
commanded
that
his
wife
should
be
kept
in
close
prison
.
Bellaria
hauing
obtained
this
graunt
,
was
now
more
carefull
for
her
little
babe
that
floated
●●
the
Seas
,
then
●●●●●
full
for
her
owne
mishap
.
For
of
that
she
doubted
:
of
her selfe
shee
was
assured
,
knowing
if
Apollo
should
giue
Oracle
according
to
the
thoughts
of
the
hart
,
yet
the
sentence
should
goe
one
her
sid●
,
such
was
the
clearenes
of
her
minde
in
this
case
.
But
Pandosto
(
whose
suspitious
head
still
remained
in
one
song
)
chose
out
six
of
his
Nobility
,
whom
hee
knew
were
scarse
indifferent
men
in
the
Quéenes
behalfe
,
and
prouiding
all
things
fit
for
their
iourney
,
sent
them
to
Delphos
:
they
willing
to
fulfill
the
Kinges
commaund
,
and
desirous
to
see
the
situation
and
custome
of
the
Iland
,
dispatched
their
affaires
with
as
much
spéede
as
might
be
,
and
embarked
themselues
to
this
voyage
,
which
(
the
wind
and
weather
seruing
fit
for
their
purpose
)
was
soone
ended
.
For
within
three
weekes
they
arriued
at
Delphos
,
where
they
were
no
sooner
set
on
lande
,
but
with
great
deuotion
they
went
to
the
Temple
of
Apollo
,
and
there
offring
sacrifice
to
the
GOD
,
and
giftes
to
the
Priest
,
as
the
custome
was
,
they
humbly
craued
an
aunswere
of
their
demaund
:
they
had
not
long
kneeled
at
the
Altar
,
but
Apollo
with
a
loude
voice
saide
:
Bohemians
,
what
you
finde
behinde
the
Alter
take
,
and
depart
.
They
forthwith
obeying
the
Oracle
founde
a
scroule
of
parchment
,
wherein
was
written
these
words
in
letters
of
Golde
.
The
Oracle
.
SVspition
is
no
proofe
:
Iealousie
is
an
vnequall
Iudge
:
Bellaria
is
chast
:
Egistus
blamelesse
:
Franion
a
true
subiect
:
Pandosto
treacherous
:
his
Babe
an
innocent
,
and
the
King
shal
liue
without
an
heire
:
if
that
which
is
lost
be
not
founde
.
AS
soone
as
they
had
taken
out
this
scroule
,
the
Priest
of
the
God
commaunded
them
that
they
should
not
presume
to
read
it
,
before
they
came
in
the
presence
of
Pandosto
:
vnlesse
they
would
incurre
the
displeasure
of
Apollo
.
The
Bohemian
Lords
carefully
obeying
his
commaund
,
taking
their
leaue
of
the
Priest
,
with
great
reuerence
departed
out
of
the
Temple
,
and
went
●●
their
ships
,
and
assoone
as
wind
would
permit
them
sailed
toward
Bohemia
,
whither
in
short
time
they
safely
arriued
,
&
with
great
tryumph
issuing
out
of
their
Ships
,
went
to
the
Kinges
pall●●e
,
whom
they
found
in
his
chamber
accompanied
with
other
Noble
men
:
Pandosto
no
sooner
saw
them
,
but
with
a
merrie
countenaunce
he
welcomed
them
home
,
as
king
what
newes
:
they
tolde
his
Maiestie
that
they
had
receiued
an
aunswere
of
the
God
written
in
a
scroule
,
b●t
with
this
charge
,
that
they
should
not
reade
the
contents
before
they
came
in
the
presence
of
the
King
,
and
with
that
they
deliuered
him
the
parchment
:
but
his
Noble
men
intreated
him
that
sith
therein
was
contayned
either
the
safetie
of
his
Wiues
life
,
and
honestly
,
or
her
death
,
and
perpetuall
infamy
,
that
he
would
haue
his
Nobles
and
Commons
assembled
in
the
iudgement
Hall
,
where
the
Queene
brought
in
as
prysoner
,
should
heare
the
contents
:
if
shee
were
found
guilty
by
the
Oracle
of
the
God
,
then
all
should
haue
cause
to
thinke
his
rigour
proceeded
of
due
desert
:
if
her
Grace
were
found
faultlesse
,
then
shee
should
bee
cleared
before
all
,
sith
she
had
bene
accused
openly
.
This
pleased
the
King
so
,
that
he
appointed
the
day
,
and
assembled
al
his
Lords
and
Commons
,
and
caused
the
Quéene
to
be
brought
in
before
the
Iudgement
seate
,
commaunding
that
the
inditement
shoulde
bee
read
,
wherein
she
was
accused
of
adultery
with
Egistus
,
and
of
conspiracy
with
Franion
:
Bellaria
hearing
the
contentes
,
was
no
whit
astonished
,
but
made
this
chearefull
aunswer
.
IF
the
deuine
powers
bee
priuy
to
humane
actions
(
as
no
doubt
they
are
)
I
hope
my
patience
shall
make
fortune
blushe
,
and
my
vnspotted
life
shall
staine
spightfully
discredit
.
For
although
lying
Report
hath
sought
to
appeach
mine
honor
,
and
Suspition
hath
intended
to
soyle
my
credit
with
infamie
:
yet
where
Uertue
keepeth
the
Forte
,
Report
and
suspition
may
assayle
,
but
neuer
sack
:
how
I
haue
led
my
life
before
Egistus
comming
,
I
appeale
Pandosto
to
the
Gods
,
&
to
thy
conscience
.
What
hath
passed
betwixt
him
and
me
,
the
Gods
onely
know
,
and
I
hope
will
presently
reueale
:
that
I
loued
Egistus
I
can
not
denie
,
that
I
honored
him
I
shame
not
to
confesse
:
to
the
one
I
was
forced
by
his
vertues
:
to
the
other
for
his
dignities
.
But
as
touching
lasci●●●●s
lust
,
I
say
Egistus
is
honest
,
and
hope
my selfe
to
be
found
without
spot
:
for
Franion
.
I
can
neither
accuse
him
,
nor
excuse
him
:
for
I
was
not
priuie
to
his
departure
,
and
that
this
is
true
which
I
haue
heere
rehearsed
,
I
referre
my selfe
to
the
deuine
Oracle
.
BEllaria
had
no
sooner
sayd
,
but
the
King
commaunded
that
one
of
his
Dukes
should
reade
the
contentes
of
the
scroule
:
which
after
the
commons
had
heard
,
they
gaue
a
great
showt
,
reioysing
and
clapping
their
hands
that
the
Quéene
was
cleare
of
that
false
accusation
:
but
the
King
whose
conscience
was
a
witnesse
against
him
of
his
witlesse
furie
,
and
false
suspected
Iealousle
,
was
so
ashamed
of
his
rashe
folly
,
that
he
intreated
his
nobles
to
perswade
Bellaria
to
forgiue
,
and
forget
these
iniuries
:
promising
not
onely
to
shew
himselfe
a
loyall
and
louing
husband
,
but
also
to
reconcile
himselfe
to
Egistus
,
and
Franion
:
reuealing
then
before
them
all
the
cause
of
their
secrete
flighte
,
and
how
treacherously
hee
thought
to
haue
practised
his
death
,
if
the
good
minde
of
his
Cupbearer
had
not
preuented
his
purpose
.
As
thus
he
was
relating
the
whole
matter
,
there
was
worde
brought
him
that
his
young
sonne
Garinter
was
sodainly
dead
,
which
newes
so
soone
as
Bellaria
heard
,
surcharged
before
which
extreame
ioy
,
and
now
suppressed
with
heauie
sorrowe
,
her
vitall
spirites
were
so
stopped
,
that
she
fell
downe
presently
dead
,
&
could
be
neuer
reuiued
.
This
sodaine
sight
so
appalled
the
Kinges
Sences
,
that
he
sanck
from
his
seate
in
a
sound
so
as
he
was
fayne
to
be
carried
by
his
nobles
to
his
Pallace
,
where
hee
lay
by
the
space
of
three
dayes
without
speache
:
his
commons
were
as
men
in
dispaire
,
so
diuersly
●●●sed
:
there
was
nothing
but
mourning
and
lamentation
to
be
heard
throughout
al
Bohemia
:
their
young
Prince
dead
,
their
vertuous
Queene
bereaued
of
her
life
,
and
their
King
and
Soueraigne
in
great
hazard
:
this
tragicall
discourse
of
fortune
so
daunted
them
,
as
they
went
like
shadowes
,
not
men
:
yet
somewhat
to
comfort
their
heauie
hearts
,
they
heard
that
Pandosto
was
come
to
himselfe
,
and
had
recouered
his
speache
,
who
as
in
a
fury
brayed
out
these
bitter
speaches
.
O
Miserable
Pandosto
,
what
surer
witnesse
then
conscience
?
What
thoughts
more
sower
then
suspition
?
What
plague
more
bad
then
Iealousie
?
Unnaturall
actions
offend
the
Gods
,
more
than
men
,
and
causelesse
crueltie
,
neuer
scapes
without
reuenge
:
〈…〉
recall
I
cannot
〈…〉
the
conscience
,
suppressing
reason
,
and
inciting
rage
:
a
worse
passion
then
phrensie
,
a
greater
plague
than
madnesse
.
Are
the
Gods
iust
:
Then
let
them
reuenge
such
brutishe
crueltie
:
my
innocent
Babe
I
haue
drowned
in
the
Seas
:
my
louing
wife
I
haue
slaine
with
slaunderous
suspition
:
my
trusty
friend
I
haue
sought
to
betray
,
and
yet
the
Gods
are
slacke
to
plague
such
offences
.
Oh
vniust
Apollo
,
Pandosto
is
the
man
that
hath
committed
the
faulte
:
why
should
Garinter
,
séely
childe
,
abide
the
paine
:
Well
sith
the
Gods
meane
to
prolong
my
dayes
,
to
increase
my
dolour
,
I
will
offer
my
guiltie
bloud
a
sacrifice
to
those
sackles
soules
,
whose
liues
are
lost
by
my
rigorous
folly
.
And
with
that
he
reached
at
a
Rapier
,
to
haue
murdered
himselfe
,
but
his
Péeres
being
present
,
stayed
him
from
such
a
bloudy
acte
:
perswading
him
to
think
,
that
the
Common-wealth
consisted
on
his
safetie
,
and
that
those
shéepe
could
not
but
perish
,
that
wanted
a
shéepheard
:
wishing
,
that
if
hée
would
not
liue
for
himselfe
,
yet
he
should
haue
care
of
his
subiects
,
and
to
put
such
fancies
out
of
his
minde
,
sith
in
sores
past
h●lp
,
salues
doe
not
heale
,
but
hurt●nd
in
thinges
past
c●re
,
care
is
a
●●rāsiue
:
with
these
and
such
like
perswasions
the
Kinge
was
ouercome
,
and
began
somewhat
to
quiet
his
minde
:
so
that
assoo●e
as
h●●
could
goe
abroad
,
hée
caused
his
wife
to
bée
embalmed
,
and
wrapt
in
lead
with
her
young
sonne
Garinter
:
erecting
a
rich
an●
famous
Sepulchre
,
wherein
hée
intombed
them
both
,
making
such
sollenme
obsequies
at
her
funeral
,
as
al
Bohemia
might
perceiue
he
did
greatly
repent
him
of
his
forepassed
folly
:
causing
this
Epitaph
to
be
ingrauen
on
her
Tombe
in
letters
of
Golde
:
¶
The
Epitaph
.
Here
lyes
entombde
Bellaria
faire
,
Falsly
accused
to
be
vnchaste
:
Cleared
by
Apollos
sacred
doome
,
Yet
slaine
by
Iealousie
at
last
.
What
ere
thou
be
,
that
passest
by
,
Cursse
him
that
causde
this
Q●eene
to
die
THis
Epitaph
being
ingr●uen
,
Pandosto
would
once
a-day
repaire
to
the
Tombe
,
and
there
with
watry
plaintes
bewaile
his
misfortune
:
coueting
no
other
companion
but
sorrowe
,
nor
no
other
harmonie
,
but
re●entance
.
But
leauing
him
to
his
dolorous
passions
,
at
last
let
vs
come
to
shewe
the
tragicall
discourse
of
the
young
infant
.
WHo
béeing
tossed
with
Winde
,
and
Waue
,
floated
two
whole
daies
without
succour
,
readie
at
euery
puffe
to
bée
drowned
in
the
Sea
,
till
at
last
the
Tempest
ceassed
,
and
the
little
boate
was
driuen
with
the
tyde
into
the
Coast
of
Sycilia
,
where
sticking
vppon
the
sandes
,
it
rested
.
Fortune
minding
to
be
wanton
,
willing
to
shewe
that
as
she
hath
wrinckles
on
her
●●owes
:
so
shée
hath
dimplés
in
her
chéekes
:
thought
after
so
many
sower
lookes
,
to
lend
a
fayned
smile
,
and
after
a
puffing
storme
,
to
bring
a
pretty
calme
:
shee
began
thus
to
dally
.
It
fortuned
a
poore
mercenary
Shéepheard
,
that
dwelled
in
Sycilia
,
who
got
his
liuing
by
other
mens
flockes
,
missed
one
of
his
shéepe
,
and
thinking
it
had
stra●ed
into
the
cou●rt
,
that
was
hard
by
,
sought
very
diligently
to
●ind
that
which
he
could
not
see
,
fearing
either
that
the
Wolues
,
or
Eagles
had
vndone
him
(
for
hée
was
so
poore
,
as
a
shéepe
was
halfe
his
substaunce
)
wandered
downe
toward
the
Sea
cliffes
,
to
sée
if
pl●chaunce
the
shéepe
was
browsing
on
the
sea
Iu●
,
whereon
the●●reatly
doe
féede
,
but
not
finding
her
there
,
as
he
was
ready
to
returne
to
his
flocke
,
hée
heard
a
childe
crie
:
but
knowing
there
was
no
house
nere
,
he
thought
he
had
mistaken
the
sound
,
&
that
it
was
the
ble●●yng
of
his
Shéepe
.
Wherefore
looking
more
narrowely
,
as
he
cast
his
eye
to
the
Sea
,
he
spyed
a
little
boate
,
from
whence
as
he
attentiuely
listened
,
he
might
heare
the
cry
to
come
:
standing
a
good
while
in
a
maze
,
at
last
he
went
to
the
shoare
,
and
wading
to
the
boate
,
as
he
looked
in
,
he
saw
the
little
babe
lying
al
alone
,
many
to
die
for
hunger
and
colde
,
wrapped
in
a
Mantle
of
Scarlet
,
richely
imbrodered
with
Golde
,
and
hauing
a
chayne
about
the
necke
.
The
Shéepeheard
,
who
before
had
neuer
séene
so
faire
a
Babe
,
not
so
riche
Iewels
,
thought
assuredly
,
that
it
was
some
little
God
,
and
began
with
great
deuocion
to
knock
on
his
breast
.
The
Babe
,
who
wrythed
with
the
head
,
to
seeke
for
the
pay
,
began
againe
to
cry
afresh
,
whereby
the
poore
man
knew
that
it
was
a
Childe
,
which
by
some
sinister
meanes
was
driuen
thither
by
distresse
of
weather
:
maruailing
how
such
a
seely
infant
,
which
by
the
Mantle
,
and
the
Chayne
,
could
not
be
but
borne
of
Noble
Parentage
,
should
be
so
hardly
crossed
with
deadly
mishap
.
The
poore
sheepheard
perplexed
thus
with
diuers
thoughts
,
tooke
pitty
of
the
childe
,
and
determined
with
himselfe
to
carry
it
to
the
King
,
that
there
it
might
be
brought
vp
,
according
to
the
worthinesse
of
birth
:
for
his
ability
coulde
not
afforde
to
foster
it
,
though
his
good
minde
was
willing
to
further
it
.
Taking
therefore
the
Chylde
in
his
armes
,
as
he
foulded
the
mantle
together
,
the
better
to
defend
if
from
colde
,
there
fell
downe
at
his
foote
a
very
faire
and
riche
purse
,
wherein
he
founde
a
great
summe
of
golde
:
which
sight
so
reuiued
the
shepheards
spirits
,
as
he
was
greatly
rauished
with
ioy
,
and
daunted
with
feare
:
Ioyfull
to
see
such
a
summe
in
his
power
,
and
fearefull
if
it
should
be
knowne
,
that
it
might
bréede
his
further
daunger
.
Necessitie
wisht
him
at
the
least
,
to
retaine
the
Golde
,
though
he
would
not
kéepe
the
childe
:
the
simplicity
if
his
conscience
feared
him
from
such
deceiptfull
briberie
.
Thus
was
the
poore
manne
perplexed
with
a
doubtfull
Dilemma
,
vntil
at
last
the
couetousnesse
of
the
coyne
ouercame
him
:
for
what
will
not
the
gréedy
desire
of
Golde
cause
a
man
to
doe
?
So
that
he
was
resolued
in
himselfe
to
foster
the
child
,
and
with
the
summe
to
relieue
his
want
:
resting
thus
resolute
in
this
point
,
he
left
séeking
of
his
shéepe
,
and
as
couertly
,
and
secretly
as
he
coulde
,
went
by
a
by-way
to
his
house
,
least
any
of
his
neighbours
should
perceaue
his
carriage
:
assoone
as
he
was
got
home
,
entring
in
at
the
doore
,
the
childe
began
to
crie
,
which
his
wife
hearing
,
and
séeing
her
husband
with
a
yong
babe
in
his
armes
,
began
to
bée
somewhat
ielousse
,
yet
marueiling
that
her
husband
should
be
so
wanton
abroad
,
sith
he
was
so
quiet
at
home
:
but
as
women
are
naturally
giuen
to
beléeue
the
worste
,
so
his
wife
thinking
it
was
some
bastard
:
beganne
to
crow
against
her
goodman
,
and
taking
vp
a
c●●gel
(
for
the
most
maister
went
bréethles
)
sware
solenmly
that
shee
would
make
clubs
trumps
,
if
hee
brought
any
bastard
brat
within
her
dores
.
The
goodman
seeing
his
wife
in
her
maiestie
with
her
mate
in
her
hand
,
thought
it
was
time
to
bowe
for
●eare
of
blowes
,
&
desired
her
to
be
quiet
,
for
there
was
non
such
matter
:
but
if
she
could
holde
her
peace
,
they
were
made
for
euen
and
with
that
he
told
her
the
whole
matter
,
how
he
had
found
the
childe
in
a
little
boat
,
without
any
succ●●r
,
wrapped
in
that
costly
mantle
,
and
hauing
that
rich
chain●
about
the
neck
:
but
at
last
when
he
shewed
her
the
purse
full
of
gold
,
she
began
to
simper
something
swéetely
,
and
taking
her
husband
about
the
neck
,
kissed
him
after
her
homely
fashion
:
saying
that
she
hoped
God
had
séene
their
want
,
and
now
ment
to
reliéeue
their
pouerty
,
and
séeing
they
could
get
no
children
,
had
sent
them
this
little
babe
to
be
their
heire
.
Take
héede
in
any
case
(
quoth
the
shepherd
)
that
you
be
secret
,
and
blabbe
it
not
out
when
you
méete
with
your
gossippes
,
for
if
you
doe
,
we
are
like
not
only
to
loose
the
Golde
and
Iewels
,
but
our
other
goodes
and
liues
.
Tush
(
quoth
his
wife
)
profit
is
a
good
hatch
before
the
doore
:
feare
not
,
I
haue
other
things
to
talke
of
then
of
this
:
but
I
pray
you
let
vs
lay
vp
the
money
surely
,
and
the
Iewels
,
least
by
any
mishap
it
be
spied
.
After
that
they
had
set
all
things
in
order
,
the
shepheard
went
to
his
shéepe
with
a
merry
note
,
and
the
good
wife
learned
to
sing
lull●by
at
home
with
her
yong
babe
,
wrapping
it
in
a
homely
blanket
in
sted
of
a
rich
mantle
:
nourishing
in
so
clenly
and
carefully
as
it
began
to
bee
a
iolly
girle
,
in
so
much
that
they
began
both
of
them
to
be
very
fond
of
it
,
séeing
,
as
it
waxed
in
age
,
so
it
increased
in
beauty
.
The
shepheard
euery
night
at
his
comming
home
,
would
sing
and
daunce
it
on
his
knée
,
and
prattle
,
that
in
a
short
time
it
began
to
speake
and
call
him
Dad
,
and
her
Mam
:
at
last
when
it
grew
to
ripe
yeeres
,
that
it
was
about
seuen
yeares
olde
,
the
shepheard
lest
keeping
of
other
mens
sheepe
,
and
with
the
money
he
found
in
the
purse
,
he
bought
him
the
lease
of
a
pretty
farme
,
and
got
a
smal
flocke
of
shéepe
,
which
when
Fawnia
(
for
so
they
named
the
child
)
came
to
the
age
of
ten
yeres
,
hee
set
her
to
keepe
,
and
shee
with
such
diligence
performed
her
charge
as
the
sheepe
prospered
marueilously
vnder
her
hand
.
Fawnia
thought
Porrus
had
ben
her
father
,
and
Mopsa
her
mother
,
(
for
so
was
the
shepheard
and
his
wife
called
(
honoured
and
obeyed
them
with
such
reuerence
,
that
all
the
neighbours
praised
the
du●tifully
obedience
of
the
child
.
Porrus
grewe
in
short
time
to
bee
a
man
of
some
wealth
,
and
cre●ite
:
for
fortune
so
fauoured
him
in
hauing
no
charge
but
Fawnia
,
that
he
began
to
purchase
land
,
intending
after
〈…〉
giue
it
to
his
daughter
:
so
that
diuerse
rich
farmer●
sonne●
came
as
wo●rs
to
his
house●
for
Fawnia
was
something
●●●ly
attired
,
beeing
of
such
singular
beautie
and
excellent
●●te
,
that
whoso
sawe
her
,
would
●
thought
,
shee
had
bene
some
heauenly
nymph
,
and
not
a
mortal
creature
:
in
so
much
,
that
when
she
came
to
the
age
of
six●
yeeres
,
shee
so
increased
with
exquisite
perfe●tion
both
of
body
and
minde
,
as
her
natural
disposition
did
bewray
that
she
was
borne
of
some
high
parentage
:
but
the
people
thinking
she
was
daughter
to
the
shephard
Porrus
;
tested
only
amazed
at
hir
beauty
and
●e
:
yea
she
won
such
fauour
and
commendations
in
euery
mans
eye
,
as
her
beautie
was
not
onely
praysed
in
the
countrey
,
but
also
spoken
of
in
the
Court
:
yet
such
was
her
submisse
modestie
,
that
although
her
praise
daily
increased
,
her
mind
was
no
whit
puffed
vp
with
pride
,
but
humbled
her selfe
as
became
a
country
mayde
and
the
daughter
of
a
poore
sheepheard
.
E●●ry
day
she
went
forth
with
her
sheepe
to
the
field
,
keeping
them
with
such
care
and
diligence
,
as
al
men
thought
she
was
verie
painfull
,
defending
her
face
from
the
heat
of
the
sunne
with●●●
other
vale
,
but
with
a
garland
made
of
bowes
and
flowers
:
which
atire
became
her
so
gallantly
,
as
shee
seemed
to
bee
the
Goddesse
Flora
her selfe
for
beauty
●
Fortune
,
wh●
al
this
while
had
shewed
a
frendly
face
,
began
now
to
turne
her
back
,
and
to
shewe
a
lowring
countenance
,
intending
as
she
had
giuen
Fawnia
a
flenderchecke
,
so
she
woulde

Egistus
had
but
one
only
son
called
Dorastus
,
aboue
the
age
of
twenty
yeeres
:
a
Prince
so
decked
and
adorned
with
the
gifts
of
nature
:
so
fraught
with
beauty
and
vertuous
qualities
,
as
not
onely
his
father
ioyed
to
haue
so
goode
a
sonne
,
●
al
his
commons
reioyced
that
God
had
lent
them
such
a
noble
Prince
to
succeede
in
the
Kingdom
.
Egistus
placing
all
his
ioy
in
the
perfection
of
his
sonne
:
seeing
that
hee
was
now
mariage-able
,
sent
Embassadors
to
the
King
of
Denmarke
,
to
intreate
a
mari●ge
betweene
him
and
his
daughter
,
who
willingly
consenting
,
made
answer
,
that
the
〈…〉
please
Egistus
with
his
sonne
to
come
into
Denmarke
,
hee
doubted
not
,
but
they
shoulde
agrée
vpon
reasonable
conditions
.
Egistus
resting
satisfied
with
this
friendly
answer
,
thought
conuenient
in
the
meane
time
to
breake
with
his
sonne
:
finding
therfore
on
a
day
fit
oportunity
he
spake
to
him
in
these
fatherly
tearmes
.
DOrastus
,
thy
youth
warneth
me
to
preuent
the
worst
,
and
mine
age
to
prouide
the
best
.
Oportunities
neglected
,
are
signes
of
folly
:
actions
measured
by
time
,
are
seldome
bitten
with
repentance
:
thou
art
young
,
and
I
olde
:
age
hath
taught
me
that
,
which
thy
youth
cannot
yet
conceiue
.
I
therefore
will
counsell
thee
as
a
father
,
hoping
thou
wilt
obey
as
a
childe
.
Thou
séest
my
white
hayres
are
blossomes
for
the
graue
,
and
thy
freshe
colour
fruite
for
time
and
fortune
,
so
that
it
behooueth
me
to
thinke
how
to
dye
,
and
for
thée
to
care
how
to
liue
.
My
crowne
I
must
leaue
by
death
,
and
thou
enioy
my
Kingdome
by
succession
,
wherein
I
hope
thy
vertue
and
prowesse
shall
bee
such
,
as
though
my
subiectes
want
my
person
,
yet
they
shall
see
in
thee
my
perfection
.
That
nothing
either
may
faile
to
satisfie
thy
minde
,
or
increase
thy
dignities
:
the
onely
care
I
haue
,
is
to
see
thee
well
marryed
before
I
die
,
and
thou
become
olde
.
Dorastus
who
from
his
infancy
,
delighted
rather
to
die
with
Mars
in
the
Fielde
,
then
to
dally
with
Venus
in
the
Chamber
:
fearing
to
displease
his
father
,
and
yet
not
willing
to
be
wed
,
made
him
this
reuerent
answere
.
SIr
,
there
is
no
greater
bond
then
duetie
,
nor
no
straiter
law
then
nature
:
disobedience
in
youth
is
often
galled
with
despight
in
age
.
The
commaund
of
the
father
ought
to
be
a
constraint
to
the
childe
:
so
parentes
willes
are
laws
,
so
they
passe
not
all
lawes
:
may
it
please
your
Grace
therefore
to
appoint
whome
I
shall
loue
,
rather
then
by
deniall
I
should
be
appeached
of
〈…〉re
:
I
rest
content
to
loue
,
though
it
bee
the
only
thing
I
hate
.
Egistus
hearing
his
sonne
to
〈◊〉
from
the

began
to
be
somewhat
chollericke
,
another

WHat
Dorastus
canst
thou
not
〈…〉
cynicall
passion
of
pr●ne
de●●res
,
or
p●●uish
●●●wardnesse
.
What
dorst
thou
thinke
thy selfe
to
good
for
all
,
or
none
good
inough
for
thee
:
I
tel
thee
,
Dorastus
,
there
is
nothing
sweeter
then
youth
,
nor
swifter
decreasing
,
while
it
is
increasing
.
Time
past
with
folly
may
bee
repented
,
but
not
recalled
.
If
thou
marrie
in
age
,
thy
w●●●es
freshe
couloures
will
breede
in
thee
dead
thoughtes
and
suspicion
,
and
thy
white
hayres
her
lothesomnesse
and
sorrowe
.
For
Venus
affections
are
not
fed
with
Kingdomes
,
or
treasures
,
but
with
youthfull
conceits
and
sweete
amours
.
Vulcan
was
allotted
to
shake
the
tree

but
Mars
allowed
to
reape

Yeelde
Dorastus
to
thy
Fathers
perswasions

which
may
preuent

I
haue
chosen
thee
a
Wife

faire
by
nature
,
royall
by
birth
,
by
vertues
famous
,
learned
by

and
rich

so
that
it
is
hard
to
iudge
whether
her

her
beauty

bee
of

I

Dorastus

Euphania
Daughter

EGistus
pausing
here
a
while
,
looking
when
his
son
should
make
him
answere
,
and
seeing
that
he
stoode
still
as
one
in
a
trance
,
he
shooke
him
vp
thus
sharply
.
WEll
Dorastus
take
he●de
,
the

Alpya
wasteth
not
with
fire

but
withereth
with
the

:
that
which
loue
nourisheth
not

perisheth
with
hate
:
if
thou
like
Euphania
,
thou
breedest
my
content
,
and
in
louing
her
thou
shalt
haue
my

otherwise
;
and
with
that
hee
flung
from
his
sonne
in
a
race
leauing
him
a
sorrowfullman
,
in
that
he
had
by
deniall
displeased
his
Father
,
and
halfe
angrie
with
him selfe
that
hee
coulde
not
yeelde
to
that
passion
,
whereto
both
reason
and
his
Father
perswaded
him
:
but
see
how
fortune
is
plumed
with
times
feathers
,
and
●ow
shee
can
minister
st●●●●ge
causes
to

It
happened
not
long
●fter
this
that
〈…〉ng
of
all
the
farmers
D●●●hters
〈…〉
whither
F●●●●●
was
also
bidden
as
the

who
〈…〉
her selfe
,
in

went
among
the
rest
of
her
companions
to
the
merry
meeting●
there
spending
the
day
in
such
homely
pastimes
as
shephea●●s
vse
.
As
the
euening
grew
on
,
and
their
sportes
ceased
,
ech
taking
their
leaue
at
other
,
Fawnia
desiring
one
of
her
companions
to
beare
her
companie
,
went
home
by
the
flocke
,
●o
see
if
they
were
well
folded
,
and
as
they
returned
,
it
fortuned
that
Dorastus
(
who
all
that
daye
had
bene
hawking
,
and
●●●de
store
of
game
)
incountred
by
the
way
these
two
mayds
,
and
casting
his
eye
sodenly
on
Fawnia
he
was
halfe
afraid
,
fearing
that
with
Acteon
he
had
seene
Diana
,
for
hee
thought
such
●●uisite
perfection
could
not
be
founde
many
mortall
creature
.
As
thus
he
stoode
in
●
maze
,
one
of
his
Pages
told
him
,
that
the
maide
with
the
garland
on
her
head
was
Fawnia
the
faire
shepheard
,
whose
beauty
was
so
much
talked
of
in
the
Court
.
Dorastus
desirous
to
see
if
nature
had
adorned
her
minde
with
any
inward
qualities
,
as
she
had
decked
her
body
with
outward
shape
began
to
question
with
her
whose
daughter
she
was
of
what
age
and
how
she
had
but
trained
vp
,
who
answered
him
with
such
madess
reuerence
and
sharpnesse
of
witte
,
that
Dorastus
thought
her
outward
beautie
was
but
a
counterfait
to
darken
her
inward
qualities
,
wondring
how
so
courtly
behauiour
could
be
found
in
so
simple
a
cottage
,
and
cursing
fortune
that
had
shadowed
wit
and
beauty
with
such
hard
fortune
.
As
thus
he
held
her
a
long
whise
with
that
.
Beauty
seeing
him
at
discouer●
thaught
not
to
lose
the
●●tage
,
but
strooke
him
in
deepely
with
an
inuenomed
shafte
,
as
he
wholy
lost
his
libertie
,
and
became
a
slaue
to
Loue
,
which
before
containned
Loue
,
glad
now
to
gaze
on
a
p●ore
shephea●d
,
who
before
refused
the
offer
of
a
riche
Princesse
:
for
the
perfection
of
Fawnia
had
so
fi●ed
his
fancie
as
he
felt
his
mind
greatly
chaunged
,
and
his
affections
altered
,
cursing
Loue
that
had
wrought
such
a
chaun●e
,
and
blaming
the
basenesse
of
his
mind
that
would
make
such
a
choice●

of

seeing
his

and
each
time
so
perfectly

began
greatly
to
praise
his
perfection

commending
him
so
long
,
till
she
found
her
sel●e
faultie
,
and
perceiued
that
if
she
waded
but
a
little
further
,
she
might
slippe
ouer
her
shooes
:
shee
therefore
seeking
to
quench
that
fire
which
neuer
was
put
out
,
went
home
,
and
●●●n●ing
her selfe
not
well
at

got
her
to
bed●
where
casting
a
●●sand
thoughts
in
her
head
,
she
could
take
no
rest
:
for
if
she
wake●

she
began
to
call
to
minde
his
beautie
,
and
thinking
to
beguile
such
thoughts
with
●●eepe

●●en
dreamed
of
his
perfection

pestred
thus
with
these
vnacquainted

she
passed
the
night
as
she

Dorastus
(
who
all
this
while
rode
with
a
flea
in
his
eare
)
coulde
not
by
any
meanes
forget
the
sweete
fauour
of
Fawnia
,
but
rested
●o
bewitched
with
her
wit
and
beauty
,
as
hee
could
take
no
rest
.
He
felt
fancy
to
giue
the
a●●ault
,
and
his
wounded
mind
reap●●te
to
yeeld
as
vanquished
:
yet
he
began
with
diuers
●on●●●●rations
to
suppresse
this
frantick
affecti●●
ca●●ing
to
minde
,
that
Fawnia
was
a
●heph●ard
,
one
not
worthy
to
bee
〈◊〉
at
of
a
Prince
,
much
lesse
to
bee
loued
of
such
a
potentate
thinking
what
a
discredite
it
were
to
himselfe
,
and
what
a
griefe
it
would
be
to
his
father

blaming
fortune

acc●●●●ng
his

〈◊〉
that
shoulde
bee
so
fond
as

As
thus
he
was
raging
against
●●mselfe
,
Loue
fearing
if
shee
dallied
long
,
to
〈…〉
ept
more
nigh
,
and
gaue
him
such
a
fresh
wounde
as
it
pra●●t
him
at

,
that
he
was
faine
to
yeeld

maugre
his
●a●
e
,
and
to
forsake
the
companie
and
gette
him
to
his
chamber
:
where
being
solemnly
set
,
hee
burst
into
these
passionate
●●armes
.
"
Ah

Yea

beautie
must

because
it
is
beauty
,
yet

of

Ah

D●●
Dorastus

thou
canst
but
repent
:
and
with
that
his

came
into

whereupon

ceased
from
his

houing

for

with

:
yet
in
despight
of

I
will

to
see
if

Fawnia
somewhat
appea●●
her
griefes
with
these
pithie
perswa●●●s
,
began
after
her
〈◊〉
manner
to
walke
about
her
shéepe
,
and
to
〈…〉
the
very
ve●●inies
did
deny
herto
●●erine
.
But
Dorastus
was
more
impatient
in
his
passions
:
for
loue
so
fiercely
assayled
him
,
that
neither
companie
,
nor
musicke
could
mittigate
his
martirdome
,
but
did
rather
far
the
more
increase
his
maladie
:
shame
would
not
let
him
craue
counsaile
in
this
case
,
nor
feare
of
his
Fathers
displeasure
reueyle
it
to
any
secrete
friend
:
but
hee
was
saine
to
make
a
Secretarie
of
himselfe
,
and
to
participate
his
thoughtes
with
his
owne
troubled
mind
.
Lingring
thus
awhile
in
doubtfull
suspence
,
at
last
stealing
secretely
from
the
court
without
either
men
or
Page
,
hée
went
to
sée
if
hée
coulde
espie
Fawnia
walking
abroade
in
the
field
:
but
as
one
hauing
a
great
deale
more
skill
to
retriue
the
partridge
with
his
spaniels
,
then
to
hunt
after
such
a
straunge
pray
,
he
sought
,
but
was
little
the
better
:
which
crosse
lucke
draue
him
into
a
great
choler
,
that
he
began
both
to
accuse
loue
and
fortune
.
But
as
he
was
readie
to
retire
,
he
sawe
Fawnia
sitting
all
alone
vnder
the
side
of
a
hill
,
making
a
garland
of
such
homely
flowres
as
the
fields
did
afoord
.
This
sight
so
reuiued
his
spirites
that
he
drewe
nigh
,
with
more
iudgement
to
take
a
view
of
her
singular
perfection
,
which
hée
found
to
bée
such
,
as
in
that
countrey
attyre
shée
stained
al
the
courtlie
Dames
of
Sicilia
.
While
thus
he
stoode
gazing
with
pearcing
lookes
on
her
surpassing
beautie
,
Fawnia
cast
her
eye
aside
,
and
spyed
Dorastus
,
with
sudden
fight
made
the
poore
girle
to
blush
,
and
to
die
her
christal
chéeks
with
a
vermilion
red
:
which
gaue
her
such
a
grace
,
as
she
séemed
farre
more
beautiful
.
And
with
that
she
rose
vp
,
saluting
the
Prince
with
such
modest
curtesies
,
as
he
wondred
how
a
country
maid
could
afoord
such
courtly
behauiour
.
Dorastus
,
repaying
her
curtesie
with
a
smiling
countenance
,
began
to
parlie
with
her
on
this
manner
.
FAire
maide
(
quoth
he
)
either
your
want
is
great
,
or
a
shepheards
life
very
swéete
,
that
your
delight
is
in
such
country
labors
.
I
can
not
conceiue
what
pleasure
you
should
take
,
vnlesse
you
meane
to
imitate
the
nymph●●
,
being
you
,
selfe
so
like
a
Nymph
.
To
put
me
out
of
thi
〈…〉
me
what
is
to
be
commended
in
a
shepherdes
l●●e
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
pleasures
you
haue
to
counter●●aile
these
drudgi●g
laboures
.
Fawnia
with
blushing
face
made
him
this
ready
aunswere
.
SIr
,
what
richer
state
then
content
,
or
what
swéeter
life
then
quiet
,
we
shepheards
are
not
borne
to
honor
,
nor
beholding
vnto
beautie
,
the
lesse
care
we
haue
to
feare
fame
or
fortune
:
we
co●●t
our
attire
braue
inough
if
warme
inough
,
and
our
foode
dainty
,
if
to
suffice
nature
:
our
greatest
enemie
is
the
wolfe
:
out
only
care
in
safe
kéeping
our
flock
:
in
stead
of
courtly
ditties
we
spend
the
daies
with
cuntry
songs
:
our
amorous
conceites
are
homely
thoughtes
:
delighting
as
much
to
talke
of
Pan
and
his
cuntrey
prankes
,
as
Ladies
to
tell
of
Venus
and
her
want
on
toyes
.
Our
toyle
is
in
shifting
the
fouldes
,
and
looking
to
the
Lambes
easie
labours
:
oft
singing
and
telling
tales
,
homely
pleasures
:
our
greatest
welth
not
to
●●ouer
,
out
honor
not
to
climbe
,
our
quiet
not
to
care
.
Enuie
looketh
not
so
lowe
as
shepheards
:
Shepheards
gaze
not
so
high
as
ambition
:
we
are
rich
in
that
we
are
poore
with
content
,
and
proud
onely
in
this
that
we
haue
no
cause
to
be
proud
.
THis
wittie
answer
of
Fawnia
so
inflamed
Dorastus
fancy
,
as
he
commended
him selfe
for
making
so
good
a
choyce
,
thinking
,
if
her
birth
were
aunswerable
to
her
wit
and
beauty
,
that
she
were
a
fitte
mate
for
the
most
famous
Prince
in
the
worlde
.
He
therefore
beganne
to
sifte
her
more
narrowely
on
this
manner
.
FAwnia
,
I
sée
thou
art
content
with
Country
labours
,
because
thou
knowest
not
Courtly
pleasures
:
I
commend
thy
wit
,
and
pitty
thy
want
:
but
wilt
thou
leaue
thy
Fathers
Cottage
,
and
serue
a
Courtlip
Mistresse
.
Sir
(
quoth
she
)
beggers
ought
not
to
striue
against
fortune
,
nor
to
gaze
after
honour
,
least
either
their
fall
be
greater
,
or
they
become
blinde
.
I
am
borne
to
toile
for
the
Court
,
not
in
the
Court
,
my
nature
vnfit
for
their
nurture
,
better
liue
th●●
in
meane
degrée
,
than
in
high
disdaine
.
●●ll
〈◊〉
,
Fawnia
(
quoth
Dorastus
)
I
gesse
at
thy
〈◊〉
,
thou
art
in
loue
with
some
Countrey
Shephearde
.
No
sir
(
quoth
she
)
shepheards
cannot
loue
,
that
are
so
simple
,
and
maides
may
not
loue
that
are
so
young
.
Nay
therefore
(
quoth
Dorastus
)
maides
must
loue
,
because
they
are
young
,
for
Cupid
is
a
child
,
and
Venus
,
though
olde
,
is
painted
with
fresh
coloures
.
I
graunt
(
quoth
she
)
age
may
be
painted
with
new
shadowes
,
and
youth
may
haue
imperfect
affections
:
but
what
arte
concealeth
in
one
,
ignorance
reuealeth
in
the
other
.
Dorastus
seeing
Fawnia
helde
him
so
harde
,
thought
it
was
vaine
so
long
to
beate
about
the
bush
:
therefore
he
thought
to
haue
giuen
her
a
fresh
charge
:
but
he
was
so
preuented
by
certaine
of
his
men
,
who
missing
their
maister
,
came
possing
to
séeke
him
:
séeing
that
he
was
gone
foorth
all
alone
,
yet
before
they
drewe
so
●ie
that
they
might
heare
their
talke
,
he
vsed
these
spéeches
.
Why
Fawnia
,
perhappes
I
loue
thée
,
and
then
thou
must
néedes
yéelde
,
for
thou
knowest
I
can
commaunde
and
constraine
.
Trueth
sir
(
quoth
she
)
but
not
to
loue
:
for
constrained
loue
is
force
,
not
loue
:
and
know
this
sir
,
mine
honesty
is
such
,
as
I
hadde
rather
dye
then
be
a
Concubine
euen
to
a
King
,
and
my
birth
is
so
base
as
I
am
vnfitte
to
bée
a
wife
to
a
poore
farmer
.
Why
then
(
quoth
he
)
thou
canst
not
loue
Dorastus
?
Yes
saide
Fawnia
,
when
Dorastus
becomes
a
shepheard
,
and
with
that
the
presence
of
his
men
broke
off
their
parle
,
so
that
he
went
with
them
to
the
palace
,
and
left
Fawnia
sitting
still
on
the
hill
side
,
who
séeing
that
the
night
drewe
on
,
shifted
her
fouldes
,
and
busied
her selfe
about
other
worke
to
driue
away
such
fond
fancies
as
began
to
trouble
her
braine
.
But
all
this
could
not
preuaile
,
for
the
beautie
of
Dorastus
had
made
such
a
déepe
impression
in
her
heart
,
as
it
could
not
be
worne
out
without
cracking
,
so
that
she
was
forced
to
blame
her
owne
folly
in
this
wise
.
AH
Fawnia
,
why
doest
thou
gaze
against
the
Sunne
,
or
catch
at
the
Winde
:
starres
are
to
be
looked
at
with
the
eye
,
not
reacht
at
with
the
hande
:
thoughts
are
to
be
measured
by
Fortunes
not
by
desires●
falles
come
not
by
sitting
low
,
but
by
climing
too
hie
:
what
then
shall
al
feare
to
fal
,
because
some
happe
to
fall
?
No
lucke
commeth
by
lot
,
and
fortune
〈◊〉
those
thréedes
which
the
destinies
spin
.
Thou
art
fau●●●●
Fawnia
of
a
prince
,
and
yet
thou
art
so
fond
to
reiect
desired
fauours
:
thou
hast
deniall
at
thy
tonges
end
,
and
desire
at
thy
hearts
bottome
:
a
womans
fault
,
to
spurne
at
that
with
her
foote
,
which
she
greedily
catcheth
at
with
her
hand
.
Thou
louest
Dorastus
,
Fawnia
,
&
yet
séemest
to
lower
.
Take
h●●de
,
if
hée
retire
,
thou
wilt
repent
:
for
vnles
hée
loue
,
thou
canst
but
dye
.
Dye
then
Fawnia
:
for
Dorastus
doth
but
iest
:
the
Lyon
neuer
prayeth
on
the
mouse
,
nor
Faultons
stoupe
not
to
dead
stales
.
Sit
downe
then
in
sorrow
,
ceasse
to
loue
,
and
content
thy selfe
,
that
Dorastus
will
vouchsafe
to
flatter
Fawnia
,
though
not
to
fancy
Fawnia
.
Heigh
ho
:
Ah
foole
,
it
were
séemelier
for
thée
to
whistle
as
a
Shepheard
,
then
to
sigh
as
a
louer
,
and
with
that
shè
ceassed
from
these
perplexed
passions
,
folding
her
shéepe
,
and
●ying
home
to
her
poore
Cottage
.
But
such
was
the
incessant
sorrow
of
Dorastus
to
thinke
on
the
witte
and
beautie
of
Fawnia
,
and
to
sée
how
fond
hée
was
being
a
Prince
:
and
how
froward
she
was
being
a
beggar
,
then
he
began
to
loose
his
wonted
appetite
,
to
looke
pale
and
●an
:
in
stead
of
mirth
to
féede
on
melancholy
:
for
courtly
●aunces
to
vse
cold
dumpes
:
in
so
much
that
not
onely
his
owne
men
,
but
his
father
and
all
the
court
began
to
maruaile
at
his
sudden
change
,
thinking
that
some
lingring
sickenes
had
brought
him
into
this
state
:
wherfore
he
caused
Phisitions
to
come
,
but
Dorastus
neither
would
let
them
minister
,
nor
so
much
as
suffer
them
to
sée
his
vrine
:
but
remained
stil
so
oppressed
with
these
passions
,
as
he
feared
in
him selfe
a
farther
inconuenience
.
His
honor
wished
him
to
ceasse
from
such
folly
,
but
Loue
forced
him
to
follow
fancy●
yea
and
in
despight
of
honour
,
loue
wonne
the
conquest
,
so
that
his
hot
desires
caused
him
to
find
new
deuises
,
for
hée
presently
made
himselfe
a
shepheards
coate
,
that
he
might
goe
vnknowne
,
and
with
the
lesse
suspition
to
prattle
with
Fawnia
,
and
conueied
it
secretly
into
a
thick
groue
hard
ioyning
to
the
Pallace
,
whether
finding
fit
time
,
and
oportunity
,
he
went
all
alone
,
and
putting
off
his
princely
apparel
,
got
on
those
shepheards
roabes
,
and
t●●●●g
a
great
hooke
in
his
hand
(
which
he
had
also
gotten
)
he
w●●●
very
●●ciently
to
stode
out
the
mistres
of
his
affection
:
but
as
he
went
by
the
way
,
séeing
himselfe
clad
in
such
vnseemely
ragges
,
he
began
to
smile
at
his
owne
folly
,
and
to
reproue
his
fondnesse
,
in
these
tearmes
.
WEll
said
Dorastus
,
thou
kéepest
a
right
decorum
,
base
desires
and
homely
attires
:
thy
thoughtes
are
fit
for
none
but
a
shepheard
,
and
thy
apparell
such
as
only
become
a
shepheard
.
A
strang
change
from
a
Prince
to
a
pesant
?
What
is
it
?
thy
wretched
fortune
or
thy
wilful
folly
?
Is
it
thy
cursed
destinies
?
Or
thy
crooked
desires
,
that
appointeth
thée
this
penance
?
Ah
Dorastus
thou
canst
but
loue
,
and
vnlesse
thou
loue
,
thou
art
like
to
perish
for
loue
.
Yet
fond
foole
,
choose
flowers
,
not
weedes
:
Diamondes
,
not
peables
:
Ladies
which
may
honour
thée
,
not
shepheards
which
may
disgrace
thée
.
Venus
is
painted
in
silkes
,
not
in
ragges
:
and
Cupid
treadeth
on
disdame
,
when
he
reacheth
at
dignitie
.
And
yet
Dorastus
shame
not
at
thy
shepheards
wéede
:
the
heauenly
Godes
haue
sometime
earthly
thoughtes
:
Neptune
became
a
Ram
,
Iupiter
a
Bul
,
Apollo
a
shepheard
:
they
Gods
,
and
yet
in
loue
:
and
thou
a
man
appointed
to
loue
.
Deuising
thus
with
himselfe
,
hée
drew
nigh
to
the
place
where
Fawnia
was
kéeping
her
shepe
,
who
casting
her
eye
aside
,
and
seeing
such
a
manerly
shepheard
,
perfectly
limmed
,
and
comming
with
so
good
a
pace
,
she
began
halfe
to
forget
Dorastus
,
&
to
fauor
this
prety
shepheard
,
whom
she
thought
shee
might
both
loue
and
obtaine
:
but
as
shee
was
in
these
thoughts
,
she
perceiued
then
,
it
was
the
yong
prince
Dorastus
,
wherfore
she
rose
vp
,
and
reuerently
saluted
him
.
Dorastus
taking
her
by
the
hand
,
repaied
her
curtesie
with
a
sweete
kisse
,
and
praying
her
to
sit
downe
by
him
,
he
began
thus
to
lay
the
batterie
.
IF
thou
maruell
Fawnia
at
my
strange
attyre
,
thou
wouldest
more
muse
at
my
vnaccustomed
thoughtes
:
the
one
disgraceth
but
my
outward
shape
,
the
other
disturbeth
my
inward
sences
.
I
loue
Fawnia
,
and
therefore
what
loue
liketh
I
cannot
mislike
.
Fawnia
thou
hast
promised
to
loue
,
and
I
hope
thou
wilt
performe
no
lesse
:
I
haue
fulfilled
thy
request
,
and
now
thou
canst
but
graunt
my
desire
.
Thou
wert
content
to
loue
Dorastus
when
he
ceast
to
be
a
Prince
;
and
to
become
a
shepheard
,
and
see
I
haue
made
the
change
,
and
therefore
not
to
misse
of
my
choice
.
TRueth
,
quoth
Fawnia
,
but
all
that
weare
Cooles
are
not
Monkes
:
painted
Eagles
are
pictures
,
not
Eagles
,
Zeusis
Grapes
were
like
Grapes
,
yet
shadowes
:
rich
clothing
make
not
princes
:
nor
homely
attyre
beggers
:
shepheards
are
not
called
shepheardes
,
because
they
were
hookes
and
bagges
:
but
that
they
are
borne
poore
,
and
liue
to
keepe
sheepe
,
so
this
attire
hath
not
made
Dorastus
a
shepherd
,
but
to
steme
like
a
shephherd
.
WEll
Fawnia
,
answered
Dorastus
:
were
I
a
shepherd
,
I
could
not
but
like
thee
,
and
being
a
prince
I
am
forst
to
loue
thee
.
Take
heed
Fawnia
,
be
not
proud
of
beauties
painting
,
for
it
is
a
flower
that
fadeth
in
the
blossome
.
Those
which
disdayne
in
youth
are
despised
in
age
:
Beauties
shadowes
are
trickt
vp
with
times
colours
,
which
being
set
to
drie
in
the
sunne
are
stained
with
the
sunne
,
scarce
pleasing
the
sight
ere
they
beginne
not
to
be
worth
the
sight
,
not
much
vnlike
the
herbe
Ephemeron
,
which
flourisheth
in
the
morning
and
is
withered
before
the
sunne
setting
:
if
my
desire
were
against
lawe
,
thou
mightest
iustly
deny
me
by
reason
,
but
I
loue
thee
Fawnia
,
not
to
misuse
thee
as
a
Concubine
,
but
to
vse
thee
as
my
wife
:
I
can
promise
no
more
,
and
meane
to
performe
no
lesse
.
Fawnia
hearing
this
solemne
protestation
of
Dorastus
,
could
no
longer
withstand
the
assault
,
but
yeelded
vp
the
forte
in
these
friendly
tearmes
.
AH
Dorastus
,
I
shame
to
expresse
that
thou
forcest
me
with
thy
sugred
speeche
to
confesse
:
my
base
birth
causeth
the
one
,
and
thy
high
dignities
the
other
.
Beggars
thoughts
ought
not
to
reach
so
far
as
Kings
,
and
yet
my
de●●es
reach
as
high
as
Princes
,
I
dare
not
say
Dorastus
,
I
〈◊〉
thee
,
because
I
am
a
shepherd
,
but
the
Gods
know
I
haue
honored
Dorastus
(
pardon
if
I
say
amisse
)
yea
and
loued
Dorastus
with
such
dutiful
affection
as
Fawnia
can
performe
,
or
Dorastus
desire
:
I
yeeld
,
not
ouercome
with
prayers
,
but
with
loue
,
resting
Dorastus
handmaid
ready
to
obey
his
wil
,
if
no
preiudice
at
all
to
his
honour
,
nor
to
my
credit
.
DOrastus
hearing
this
freendly
conclusion
of
Fawnia
embraced
her
in
his
armes
,
swearing
that
neither
distance
,
time
,
nor
aduerse
fortune
should
diminish
his
affection
:
but
that
in
despight
of
the
destinies
he
would
remaine
loyall
vnto
death
.
Hauing
thus
plight
their
troath
each
to
other
,
seeing
they
could
not
haue
the
full
fruition
of
their
loue
in
Sycilia
for
that
Egistus
consent
woulde
neuer
bee
graunted
to
so
meane
a
match
,
Dorastus
determined
assone
as
time
and
oportunitie
would
giue
them
leaue
,
to
prouide
a
great
masse
of
money
,
and
many
rich
&
costly
iewels
,
for
the
easier
cariage
,
and
then
to
transporte
them selues
and
their
treasure
into
Italy
,
where
they
should
leade
a
contented
life
,
vntil
,
such
time
as
either
he
could
be
reconciled
to
his
Father
,
or
els
by
sucession
come
to
the
Kingdome
.
This
deuise
was
greatly
praysed
of
Fawnia
,
for
she
feared
if
the
King
his
father
should
but
heare
of
the
contract
,
that
his
furie
would
be
such
as
no
lesse
then
death
would
stand
for
payment
:
she
therefore
tould
him
,
that
delay
bred
daunger
:
that
many
mishaps
did
fall
out
betweene
the
cup
and
the
lip
,
and
that
to
auoid
danger
,
it
were
best
with
asmuch
speed
as
might
be
,
to
passe
out
of
Sycilia
,
least
fortune
might
preuent
their
pretence
with
some
newe
despight
:
Dorastus
,
whom
loue
pricked
forward
with
desire
,
promised
to
dispatch
his
affaires
with
as
great
hast
,
as
either
time
or
oportunitie
would
geue
him
leaue
:
an
so
resting
vpon
this
point
,
after
many
imbracings
and
sweete
kisses
they
departed
.
Dorastus
hauing
taken
his
leaue
of
his
best
beloued
Fawnia
,
went
to
the
Groue
where
hee
had
his
rich
apparel
,
and
there
vncasting
himself
as
secretly
as
might
be
,
hiding
vp
his
shepheards
attire
,
till
occasion
should
serue
againe
to
vse
it
:
hee
went
to
the
pallace
,
shewing
by
his
merrie
countenaunce
,
that
either
the
state
of
his
body
was
amended
,
or
the
case
of
his
minde
greatly
redressed
:
Fawnia
poore
soule
was
no
lesse
ioyful
,
that
being
a
shepheard
,
fortune
had
fauoured
her
so
,
as
to
reward
her
with
the
loue
of
a
Prince
,
hoping
in
time
to
be
aduaunced
from
the
daughter
of
a
poore
farmer
,
to
be
the
wife
of
a
riche
King
:
so
that
she
thought
euery
houre
a
yeere
,
till
by
their
departure
they
might
preuent
danger
,
not
ceasing
still
to
goe
euery
daye
to
her
sheepe
,
not
so
much
for
the
care
of
her
flock
,
as
for
the
desire
she
had
to
see
her
loue
and
Lord
Dorastus
:
who
oftentimes
,
when
oportunitie
would
serue
,
repaired
thither
to
féede
his
fancy
with
the
sweet
content
of
Fawnias
,
presence
:
and
although
he
neuer
went
to
visit
her
,
but
in
his
shepheards
ragges
,
yet
his
ofte
repaire
made
him
not
onely
suspected
,
but
knowne
to
diuers
of
their
neighbours
:
who
for
the
good
will
they
bare
to
old
Porrus
,
tould
him
secretly
of
the
matter
,
wishing
him
to
keepe
his
daughter
at
home
,
least
she
went
so
oft
to
the
field
that
shee
brought
him
home
a
yong
sonne
:
for
they
feared
that
Fawnia
being
so
beautifull
,
the
yong
Prince
would
allure
her
to
folly
.
Porrus
was
striken
into
a
dump
at
these
newes
,
so
that
thanking
his
neighboures
for
their
good
will
:
hee
hyed
him
home
to
his
wife
,
and
calling
her
aside
,
wringing
his
handes
,
and
shedding
foorth
teares
,
he
brake
the
matter
to
her
in
these
tearmes
.
I
Am
afraid
wife
,
that
my
daughter
Fawnia
hath
made
her selfe
so
fine
,
that
she
will
buy
repentance
too
deare
.
I
heare
newes
,
which
if
they
be
true
,
some
will
wish
they
had
not
proued
true
.
It
is
tould
me
by
my
neighbours
,
that
Dorastus
the
Kinges
sonne
begins
to
looke
at
our
daughter
Fawnia
:
which
if
it
be
so
,
I
will
not
geue
her
a
halfepenp
for
her
honestiect
the
yeeres
end
.
I
tell
thee
wife
,
now
adaies
beauty
is
a
great
stale
to
trap
yong
men
,
and
faire
wordes
and
sweete
promises
are
two
great
enemies
to
a
maydens
honestie
:
and
thou
knowest
where
poore
men
intreate
,
and
cannot
obtaine
,
there
Princes
may
commaund
,
and
wil
obtaine
.
Though
Kings
sonnes
daunce
in
nettes
,
they
may
not
be
seene
:
but
poore
mens
faultes
are
spied
at
a
little
hole
:
Well●
it
is
a
hard
case
where
Kinges
lustes
are
lawes
,
and
that
they
should
binde
poore
men
to
that
,
which
they
themselues
wilfully
breake
.
Peace
husband
(
quoth
his
wife
)
take
héede
what
you
say
:
speake
no
more
then
you
should
,
least
you
heare
what
you
would
not
,
great
streames
are
to
be
stopped
by
sleight
,
not
by
force
:
and
princes
to
be
perswaded
by
submission
,
not
by
rigor
:
doe
what
you
can
,
but
no
more
then
you
may
,
least
in
sauing
Fawnias
maydē-head
,
you
loose
your
owne
head
.
Take
heede
I
say
,
it
is
ill
iesting
with
edged
tooles
,
and
had
sporting
with
Kinges
.
The
Wolfe
had
his
skinne
puld
ouer
his
eares
for
but
looking
into
the
Lions
den
.
Tush
wife
(
quoth
he
)
thou
speakest
like
a
foole
,
if
the
King
should
knowe
that
Dorastus
had
begotten
our
daughter
with
childe
(
as
I
feare
it
will
fall
out
little
better
)
the
Kings
furie
would
be
such
as
no
doubt
we
should
both
loose
our
goodes
and
liues
:
necessitie
therefore
hath
no
lawe
,
and
I
will
preuent
this
mischiefe
with
a
newe
deuise
that
is
come
in
my
head
,
which
shall
neither
offend
the
King
,
nor
displease
Dorastus
.
I
meane
to
take
the
chaine
and
the
iewels
that
I
found
with
Fawnia
,
and
carrie
them
to
the
King
,
letting
him
then
to
vnderstand
how
she
is
none
of
my
daughter
,
but
that
I
found
her
beaten
vp
with
the
water
alone
in
a
little
boate
wrapped
in
a
riche
Mantle
,
wherein
was
inclosed
this
treasure
.
By
this
meanes
I
hope
the
King
will
take
Fawnia
into
his
seruice
,
and
we
whatsoeuer
chaunceth
shal
be
blamelesse
.
This
deuice
pleased
the
good
wife
very
well
,
so
that
they
determined
assoone
as
they
might
know
the
King
at
leisure
,
to
make
him
priuie
to
this
case
.
In
the
meane
time
Dorastus
was
not
slacke
in
his
affaires
,
but
applyed
his
matters
with
such
diligence
,
that
he
prouided
all
thinges
fitte
for
their
iourney
.
Treasure
and
Iewels
he
had
gotten
great
store
,
thincking
there
was
no
better
friend
then
money
in
a
strange
countrey
:
rich
attire
he
had
prouided
for
Fawnia
,
and
because
he
could
not
bring
the
matter
to
passe
with
out
the
helpe
and
aduise
of
some
one
,
he
made
an
old
seruant
of
his
called
Capnio
,
who
had
serued
him
from
his
childhood
,
priuie
to
his
affaires
:
who
seeing
no
perswasions
could
preuaile
to
diuert
him
from
his
setled
determination
,
gaue
his
consent
and
dealt
so
secretly
in
the
cause
,
that
within
short
space
hee
had
gotten
a
ship
ready
for
their
passage
:
the
Mariners
seeing
a
fit
gale
of
winde
for
their
purpose
,
wished
Capnio
to
make
no
delayes
,
least
if
they
pretermitted
this
good
weather
,
they
might
stay
long
ere
they
had
such
a
fayre
winde
.
Capnio
fearing
that
his
negligence
should
hinder
the
iourney
,
in
the
night
time
conueyed
the
trunckes
full
of
treasure
into
the
shippe
,
and
by
secrette
meanes
let
Fawnia
vnderstand
,
that
the
next
morning
they
meant
to
depart
:
she
vpon
this
newes
slept
verie
little
that
night
,
but
gotte
vp
very
early
,
and
wente
to
her
sheepe
,
looking
euery
minute
when
she
should
see
Dorastus
,
who
caried
not
long
,
for
feare
delay
might
breede
daunger
,
but
came
as
fast
as
he
could
gallop
,
and
without
any
great
circumstance
tooke
Fawnia
vp
behinde
him
and
rode
to
the
hauen
,
where
the
shippe
lay
,
which
was
not
three
quarters
of
a
mile
distant
from
that
place
.
He
no
sooner
came
there
,
but
the
Marriners
were
readie
with
their
Cockboate
to
set
them
aboard
,
where
being
coucht
together
in
a
Cabben
they
past
away
the
time
in
recounting
their
old
loues
,
til
their
man
Capnio
should
come
.
Porrus
who
had
heard
that
this
morning
the
King
would
go
abroad
to
take
the
ayre
,
called
in
haste
to
his
wife
to
bring
him
his
holyday
hose
and
his
best
Iacket
,
that
he
might
goe
like
an
honest
substantiall
man
to
tell
his
tale
.
His
Wife
a
good
cleanly
wenche
,
brought
him
all
things
fitte
,
and
spungd
him
vp
very
handsomlie
,
giuing
him
the
chaines
and
Iewels
in
a
little
boxe
,
which
Porrus
for
the
more
safety
put
in
his
bosom
.
Hauing
thus
all
his
trinkets
in
a
readines
,
taking
his
staffe
in
his
hand
he
had
his
wife
kisse
him
for
good
lucke
,
and
so
hée
went
towards
the
Pallace
.
But
as
he
was
going
,
fortune
(
who
meant
to
showe
him
a
little
false
play
)
preuented
his
purpose
in
this
wise
.
He
met
by
chaunce
in
his
way
Capnio
,
who
trudging
as
fast
as
he
could
with
a
little
coffer
vnder
his
arme
to
the
ship
,
and
spying
Porrus
whome
he
knewe
to
be
Fawnias
Father
,
going
towardes
the
Pallace
,
being
a
wylie
fellow
,
began
to
doubt
the
worst
,
and
therefore
crost
him
the
way
,
and
askt
him
whither
he
was
going
so
earely
this
morning
.
Porrus
(
who
knew
by
his
face
that
he
was
one
of
the
Court
)
meaning
simply
,
told
him
that
the
Kings
son
Dorastus
dealt
hardly
with
him
:
for
he
had
but
one
Daughter
who
was
a
little
Beautifull
,
and
that
his
neighboures
told
him
the
young
Prince
had
allured
her
to
folly
,
he
went
therefore
now
to
complaine
to
the
King
how
greatly
he
was
abused
.
Capnio
(
who
straight
way
smelt
the
whole
matter
)
began
to
soth
him
in
his
talke
,
and
said
,
that
Dorastus
dealt
not
like
a
Prince
to
spoyle
and
poore
manes
daughter
in
that
sort
:
he
therefore
would
doe
the
best
for
him
he
could
,
because
he
knew
he
was
an
honest
man
.
But
(
quoth
Capnio
)
you
lose
your
labour
in
going
to
the
Pallace
,
for
the
King
meanes
this
day
to
take
the
aire
of
the
Sea
,
and
to
goe
aboord
of
a
shippe
that
lies
in
the
hauen
,
I
am
going
before
,
you
see
,
to
prouide
all
things
in
a
redinesse
,
and
if
you
wil
follow
my
counsaile
,
turne
back
with
me
to
the
hauen
,
where
I
will
set
you
in
such
a
fitte
place
as
you
may
speake
to
the
King
at
your
pleasure
.
Porrus
giuing
credit
to
Capnios
smooth
tale
,
gaue
him
a
thousand
thanks
for
his
frendly
aduise
,
and
went
with
him
to
the
hauen
,
making
all
the
way
his
complaintes
of
Dorastus
,
yet
concealing
secretlie
the
chaine
and
the
Iewels
.
Assone
as
they
were
come
to
the
Sea
side
,
the
marriners
seeing
Capnio
,
came
a
land
with
their
cock-boate
,
who
still
dissembling
the
matter
,
demaunded
of
Porrus
if
he
would
go
see
the
ship
,
who
vnwilling
and
fearing
the
worst
,
because
he
was
not
well
acquainted
with
Capnio
,
made
his
excuse
that
he
could
not
brooke
the
Sea
,
therefore
would
not
trouble
him
.
Capnio
,
seeing
that
by
faire
meanes
hee
could
not
get
him
aboord
,
commaunded
the
mariners
that
by
violence
they
should
carrie
him
into
the
shippe
,
who
like
sturdy
knaues
hoisted
the
poore
shepheard
on
their
backes
,
and
bearing
him
to
the
boate
,
lanched
from
the
land
.
Porrus
seeing
himselfe
so
cunningly
betraied
durst
not
crie
out
,
for
hee
sawe
it
would
not
preuaile
,
but
began
to
intreate
Capnio
and
the
mariners
to
be
good
to
him
,
and
to
pittie
his
estate
,
hee
was
but
a
poore
man
that
liued
by
his
labour
:
they
laughing
to
see
the
shepheard
so
afraide
,
made
as
much
haste
as
they
could
,
and
sette
him
aboorde
.
Porrus
was
no
sooner
in
the
shippe
,
but
he
saw
Dorastus
walking
with
Fawnia
,
yet
he
scarfe
knew
her
:
for
she
had
attired
her selfe
in
riche
apparell
,
which
,
so
increased
her
beauty
,
that
shee
resembled
rather
an
Angell
then
a
mortall
creature
.
Dorastus
and
Fawnia
,
were
halfe
astonished
to
see
the
olde
shepherd
,
maruailing
greatly
what
wind
had
brought
him
thither
,
til
Capino
told
them
al
the
whole
discourse
:
how
Porrus
was
going
to
make
his
complaint
to
the
King
,
if
by
pollicie
●he
had
not
preuented
him
,
and
therefore
now
sith
he
was
aboord
,
for
the
auoiding
of
further
danger
,
it
were
best
to
carrie
him
into
Italy
.
Dorastus
praised
greatly
his
mans
deuise
,
and
allowed
of
his
counsaile
:
but
Fawnia
,
(
who
stil
feared
Porrus
,
as
her
father
)
began
to
blush
for
shame
,
that
by
her
meanes
he
should
either
incure
daunger
or
displeasure
.
The
old
shephard
hearing
this
hard
sentence
,
that
he
should
on
such
a
sodaine
be
caried
from
his
Wife
,
his
country
and
kinsfolke
,
into
a
forraine
Lande
amongst
straungers
,
began
with
bitter
teares
to
make
his
complaint
,
and
on
his
knees
to
intreate
Dorastus
,
that
pardoning
his
vnaduised
folly
he
would
giue
him
leaue
to
goe
home
:
swearing
that
hee
would
keepe
all
thinges
as
secret
as
they
could
wish
.
But
these
protestations
could
not
preuaile
,
although
Fawnia
intreated
Dorastus
very
earnestly
,
but
the
mariners
hoisting
their
maine
sailes
waied
ankers
,
and
hailed
into
the
deepe
,
where
we
leaue
them
to
the
fauour
of
the
wind
and
seas
,
&
returne
to
Egistus
.
WHo
hauing
appointed
this
day
to
hunt
in
one
of
his
Forrests
,
called
for
his
sonne
Dorastus
to
go
sport
himselfe
,
because
hee
saw
that
of
late
hee
began
to
loure
:
but
his
men
made
answer
that
hee
was
gone
abroade
none
knew
whither
,
except
he
were
gone
to
the
groue
to
walke
all
alone
,
as
his
custome
was
to
doe
euery
day
.
The
King
willing
to
waken
him
out
of
his
dumpes
,
sent
one
of
his
men
to
goe
seeke
him
,
but
in
vaine
,
for
at
last
he
returned
,
but
finde
him
he
could
not
,
so
that
the
King
went
himselfe
to
goe
see
the
sport
:
where
passing
away
the
day
,
returning
at
night
from
hunting
,
hee
asked
for
his
sonne
,
but
hee
could
not
be
heard
of
,
which
draue
the
King
into
a
great
choler
:
where
vpon
most
of
his
Noblemen
and
other
Courtiers
,
poasted
abroad
to
séek
him
,
but
they
could
not
heare
of
him
through
all
Sicilia
,
onely
they
missed
Capnio
his
man
which
againe
made
the
King
suspect
that
he
was
not
gone
farre
.
Two
or
three
daies
being
passed
,
and
no
newes
heard
of
Dorastus
,
Egistus
began
to
feare
that
he
was
deuoured
with
some
wilde
beastes
,
and
vpon
that
made
out
a
greate
troupe
of
men
to
go
seeke
him
:
who
coasted
through
all
the
Countrey
and
searched
in
euerie
daungerous
and
secrete
place
,
vntill
at
last
they
mette
with
a
Fisherman
that
was
sitting
in
a
little
couert
harde
by
the
sea
side
mending
his
nettes
,
when
Dorastus
and
Fawnia
tooke
shipping
:
who
being
examined
if
he
either
knewe
or
heard
where
the
Kings
Sonne
was
,
without
any
secrecie
at
all
reuealed
the
whole
matter
,
how
he
was
sayled
two
dayes
past
,
&
had
in
his
company
his
man
Capnio
,
Porrus
,
and
his
faire
Daughter
Fawnia
.
This
heauie
newes
was
presently
caryed
to
the
King
,
who
halfe
dead
for
sorow
,
commaunded
Porrus
wife
to
bee
sent
for
:
she
being
come
to
the
Pallace
,
after
due
examination
,
confessed
that
her
neighbours
had
oft
told
her
that
the
Kings
Sonne
was
too
familier
with
Fawnia
her
Daughter
:
wherevppon
,
her
husband
fearing
the
worst
,
about
two
dayes
past
(
hearing
the
King
should
goe
an
hunting
)
rose
earely
in
the
morning
and
went
to
make
his
complaint
,
but
since
she
neither
hearde
of
him
,
nor
saw
him
.
Egistus
perceiuing
the
womans
vnfeyned
simplicity
,
let
her
depart
without
incurring
further
displeasure
,
conceiling
such
secret
greefe
for
his
Sonnes
recklesse
follie
,
that
he
had
so
forgotten
his
honour
and
parentage
,
by
so
base
a
choise
to
dishonor
his
Father
,
and
discredit
himselfe
,
that
with
very
care
and
thought
he
fel
into
a
quartan
feuer
,
which
was
so
vnfit
for
his
aged
yeeres
and
complexion
,
that
he
became
so
weake
,
as
the
Phisitions
would
graunt
him
no
life
.
But
his
sonne
Dorastus
little
regarded
either
father
,
countrie
:
or
Kingdome
,
in
respect
of
his
Lady
Fawnia
,
for
fortune
smyling
on
this
young
nouice
,
lent
him
so
lucky
a
gale
of
winde
,
for
the
space
of
a
day
and
a
night
,
that
the
maryners
lay
and
slept
vpon
the
hatches
:
but
on
the
next
morning
about
the
breake
of
the
day
,
the
aire
began
to
ouercast
,
the
winds
to
rise
,
the
seas
to
swel
,
yea
presently
there
arose
such
a
fearfull
tempest
,
as
the
ship
was
in
danger
to
be
swallowed
vp
with
euery
sea
,
the
maine
●●ast
with
the
violence
of
the
wind
was
thrown
ouer
boord
,
the
sayles
were
torne
,
the
tacklings
went
in
sunder
,
the
storme
raging
still
so
furiously
that
poore
Fawnia
was
almost
dead
for
feare
,
but
that
she
was
greatly
comforted
with
the
presence
of
Dorastus
.
The
tempest
continued
thrée
dayes
,
al
which
time
the
Mariners
euerie
minute
looked
for
death
,
and
the
aire
was
so
darkned
with
cloudes
that
the
Maister
could
not
tell
by
his
compasse
in
what
Coast
they
were
.
But
vpon
the
fourth
day
about
ten
of
the
clocke
,
the
wind
began
to
cease
:
the
sea
to
wax
calme
,
and
the
sky
to
be
cleare
,
and
the
Mariners
descryed
the
coast
of
Bohemia
,
shooting
of
their
ordnance
for
ioy
that
they
had
escaped
such
a
fearefull
tempest
.
Dorastus
hearing
that
they
were
arriued
at
some
harbour
,
sweetly
kissed
Fawnia
,
and
bad
her
be
of
good
cheare
:
when
they
tolde
him
that
the
port
belonged
vnto
the
cheife
Cittie
of
Bohemia
where
Pandosto
kept
his
Court
,
Dorastus
began
to
be
sad
:
knowing
that
his
Father
hated
no
man
so
much
as
Pandosto
,
and
that
the
King
himself
had
sought
secretly
to
betray
Egistus
:
this
considered
,
he
was
halfe
afraid
to
goe
on
land
,
but
that
Capnio
counselled
him
to
chaunge
his
name
and
his
countrey
,
vntil
such
time
as
they
could
get
some
other
Barke
to
transport
them
into
Italy
.
Dorastus
liking
this
deuise
made
his
case
priuy
to
the
Marriners
,
rewarding
them
bountifully
for
their
paines
,
and
charging
them
to
saye
that
he
was
a
Gentleman
of
Trapalonia
called
Meleagrus
.
The
shipmen
willing
to
shew
what
friendship
they
could
to
Dorastus
,
promised
to
be
as
secret
as
they
could
,
or
hee
might
wish
,
and
vppon
this
they
landed
in
a
little
village
a
mile
distant
from
the
Citie
,
where
after
they
had
rested
a
day
,
thinking
to
make
prouision
for
their
mariage
:
the
fame
of
Fawnias
beauty
was
spread
throughout
all
the
Citie
,
so
that
it
came
to
the
eares
of
Pandosto
:
who
then
being
about
the
age
of
fifty
,
had
notwithstanding
yong
and
freshe
affections
:
so
that
he
desired
greatly
to
see
Fawnia
,
and
to
bring
this
matter
the
better
to
passe
,
hearing
they
had
but
one
man
,
and
how
they
rested
at
a
very
homely
house
:
he
caused
them
to
be
apprehended
as
spies
,
and
sent
a
dozen
of
his
garde
to
take
them
:
who
being
come
to
their
lodging
,
tolde
them
the
Kings
message
:
Dorastus
no
whit
dismayed
,
accompanied
with
Fawnia
and
Capnio
,
went
to
the
court
(
for
they
left
Porrus
to
keepe
the
stuffe
)
who
being
admitted
to
the
Kings
presence
.
Dorastus
and
Fawnia
with
humble
obeysance
saluted
his
maiestie
.
Pandosto
amased
at
the
singular
perfection
of
Fawnia
,
stood
halfe
astonished
,
viewing
her
beauty
,
so
that
he
had
almost
forgot
himselfe
what
hee
had
to
doe
:
at
last
with
stearne
countenance
he
demaunded
their
names
,
and
of
what
countrey
they
were
,
and
what
caused
them
to
land
in
Bohemia
.
Sir
(
quoth
Dorastus
)
know
that
my
name
Meleagrus
is
a
Knight
borne
and
brought
vp
in
Trapalonia
,
and
this
Gentlewoman
,
whom
I
meane
to
take
to
my
wife
is
an
Italian
borne
in
Padua
,
from
whence
I
haue
now
brought
her
.
The
Cause
I
haue
so
small
a
trayne
with
me
,
is
for
that
her
friends
vnwilling
to
consent
,
I
intended
secretly
to
conuey
her
into
Trapalonia
:
whither
as
I
was
sailing
,
by
distresse
of
weather
I
was
driuen
into
these
coasts
:
thus
haue
you
heard
my
name
,
my
country
,
and
the
cause
of
my
voiage
.
Pandosto
starting
from
his
seat
as
one
in
choller
,
made
this
rough
reply
.
Meleagrus
,
I
feare
this
smooth
tale
hath
but
small
trueth
,
and
that
thou
couerest
a
foule
skin
with
faire
paintings
.
No
doubt
this
Ladie
by
her
grace
and
beauty
is
of
her
degree
more
meete
for
a
mighty
Prince
,
then
for
a
simple
knight
,
and
thou
like
a
periured
traitour
hast
bereft
her
of
her
parents
,
to
their
present
griefe
,
and
her
insuing
sorrow
.
Till
therefore
I
heare
more
of
her
parentage
and
of
thy
calling
,
I
wil
stay
you
both
here
in
Bohemia
.
Dorastus
,
in
whome
rested
nothing
but
Kingly
valor
,
was
not
able
to
suffer
the
reproches
of
Pandosto
,
but
that
he
made
him
this
answer
.
IT
is
not
meete
for
a
King
,
without
due
proofe
to
appeach
any
man
of
ill
behauiour
,
nor
vpon
suspition
to
inferre
beléefe
:
straungers
ought
to
bee
entertained
with
courtesie
,
not
to
bee
intreated
with
crueltie
,
least
being
forced
by
want
to
put
vp
iniuries
:
the
Gods
reuenge
their
cause
with
rigor
.
Pandosto
hearing
Dorastus
vtter
these
wordes
,
commanded
that
he
should
straight
be
committed
to
prison
,
vntill
such
time
as
they
heard
further
of
his
pleasure
,
but
as
for
Fawnia
,
he
charged
that
she
should
be
entertained
in
the
Court
,
with
such
curtesie
as
belonged
to
a
straunger
and
her
calling
.
The
rest
of
the
shipmen
he
put
into
the
Dungeon
.
Hauing
thus
hardly
handled
the
supposed
Trapalonians
:
Pandosto
contrarie
to
his
aged
yeaxes
began
to
be
somwhat
tickled
with
the
beauty
of
Fawnia
,
in
so
much
that
hee
could
take
no
rest
,
but
cast
in
his
old
head
a
thousand
new
deuises
:
at
last
he
fell
into
these
thoughtes
.
HOw
art
thou
pestred
Pandosto
with
fresh
affections
,
and
vnfitte
fancies
,
wishing
to
possesse
with
an
vnwilling
mynde
,
and
a
hot
desire
troubled
with
a
could
disdaine
:
Shalt
thy
mynde
yeeld
in
age
to
that
thou
hast
resisted
in
youth
?
Peace
Pandosto
,
blabbe
not
out
that
which
thou
maiest
be
ashamed
to
reueale
to
thy self
.
Ah
Fawnia
is
beautifull
,
and
it
is
not
for
thine
honour
(
fond
foole
)
to
name
her
that
is
thy
Captiue
,
and
an
other
mans
Concubine
.
Alas
,
I
reach
at
that
with
my
hand
which
my
hart
would
faine
refuse
:
playing
like
the
bird
Ibys
in
Egipt
,
which
hateth
Serpents
,
yet
feedeth
on
their
egges
.
Tush
,
hot
desires
turne
oftentimes
to
colde
disdaine
:
Loue
is
brittle
,
where
appetite
,
not
reason
beares
the
sway
:
Kinges
thoughtes
ought
not
to
climbe
so
high
as
the
heauens
,
but
to
looke
no
lower
then
honour
:
better
it
is
to
pecke
at
the
starres
with
the
young
Eagles
,
then
to
pray
on
dead
carkasses
with
the
Uulture
:
t
is
more
honourable
for
Pandosto
to
dye
by
concealing
Loue
,
their
to
enioy
such
vnfitte
Loue
.
Dooth
Pandosto
then
loue
?
Yea
:
whome
?
A
maide
vnknowne
,
yea
and
perhapps
,
immodest
,
stragled
out
of
her
owne
countrie
:
beautifull
,
but
not
therefore
chast
:
comely
in
bodie
,
but
perhappes
crooked
in
minde
.
Cease
then
Pandosto
to
looke
at
Fawnia
,
much
lesse
to
loue
her
:
be
not
ouertaken
with
a
womans
beauty
,
whose
eyes
are
framed
by
arte
to
inamour
,
whose
hearte
is
framed
by
nature
to
inchaunt
,
whose
false
teares
knowe
their
true
times●
and
whose
sweete
wordes
pearce
deeper
then
sharpe
swordes
.
Here
Pandosto
ceased
from
his
talke
,
but
not
from
his
loue
:
for
although
he
sought
by
reason
,
and
wisedome
to
suppresse
this
franticke
affection
:
yet
he
could
take
no
rest
,
the
beautie
of
Fawnia
had
made
such
a
déepe
impression
in
his
heart
.
But
on
a
day
walking
abroad
into
a
Parke
which
was
hard
adioyning
to
his
house
,
he
sent
by
one
of
his
seruants
for
Fawnia
,
vnto
whome
he
vttered
these
wordes
.
FAwnia
,
I
commend
thy
beauty
and
wit
,
and
now
pittie
thy
distresse
and
want
:
but
if
thou
wilt
forsake
Sir
Meleagrus
,
whose
pouerty
,
though
a
Knight
,
is
not
able
to
maintaine
an
estate
aunswerable
to
thy
beauty
,
and
yeld
thy
consent
to
Pandosto
:
I
wil
both
increase
thee
with
dignities
and
riches
.
No
sir
,
answered
Fawnia
:
Meleagrus
is
a
knight
that
hath
wonne
me
by
loue
,
and
none
but
he
shal
weare
me
:
his
sinister
mischance
shall
not
diminishe
my
affection
,
but
rather
increase
my
good
will
:
thinke
not
though
your
Grace
hath
imprisoned
him
without
cause
,
that
feare
shall
make
mee
yéeld
my
consent
:
I
had
rather
be
Meleagrus
wife
,
and
a
begger
,
then
liue
in
plenty
,
and
be
Pandostos
Concubine
.
Pandosto
hearing
the
assured
aunswere
of
Fawnia
,
would
,
notwithstanding
,
prosecute
his
suite
to
the
vttermost
:
séeking
with
faire
words
and
great
promises
in
scale
the
fort
of
her
chastitie
,
swearing
that
if
she
would
graunt
to
his
desire
,
Meleagrus
should
not
only
he
fet
at
libertie
,
but
honored
in
his
course
amongst
his
Nobles
:
but
these
alluring
baytes
could
not
intise
her
minde
from
the
loue
of
her
●●
we
betrothed
mate
Meleagrus
:
which
Pandosto
séeing
,
he
left
her
alone
for
that
time
to
consider
more
of
the
demaund
.
Fawnia
being
alone
by
her selfe
,
began
to
enter
into
these
solitarie
meditations
.
AH
infortunate
Fawnia
,
thou
●éest
to
desire
aboue
fortune
,
is
to
striue
against
the
Gods
,
and
Fortune●
Who
gazeth
at
the
su●●e
we
akeneth
his
sight
:
they
which
stare
at
the
skie
,
fall
oft
into
déepe
pi●s
:
haddest
thou
rested
content
to
haue
bene
a
shepheard
,
thou
neededst
not
to
haue
feared
mischaunce
:
better
had
it
bene
for
thée
,
by
sitting
lowe
,
to
haue
had
quiet
,
then
by
climing
high
to
haue
fallen
into
miserie
.
But
alas
I
feare
not
mine
owne
daunger
,
but
Dorastus
displeasure
.
Ah
swéete
Dorastus
,
thou
art
a
Prince
,
but
now
a
prisoner
,
by
too
much
loue
,
procuring
thine
owne
losse
:
haddest
thou
not
loued
Fawnia
thou
haddest
bene
fortunate
,
shall
I
then
bée
false
to
him
that
hath
forsaken
Kingdomes
for
my
cause
:
no
,
would
my
death
might
deliuer
him
,
so
mine
honor
might
be
preserued
.
With
that
feching
a
déepe
sigh
,
she
ceased
from
her
complaints
,
and
went
againe
to
the
Pallace
,
inioying
a
libertie
without
content
,
and
profered
pleasure
with
smal
ioy
.
But
poore
Dorastus
●●●
all
this
while
in
olose
prison
,
being
pinch●d
with
a
hard
restraint
,
and
pained
with
the
burden
of
colde
,
and
heauie
Irons
,
sorrowing
sometimes
that
his
fond
affection
had
pr●cured
him
this
mishappe
,
that
by
the
disobedience
of
his
parentes
,
he
had
wrought
his
owne
despight
:
an
other
while
cursing
the
Gods
and
fortune
,
that
they
should
crosse
him
with
such
sinister
chaunce
:
vttering
at
last
his
passions
in
these
words
.
Ah
vnfortunate
wretch
borne
to
mishappe
,
now
thy
folly
hath
his
desert
:
art
thou
not
worthie
for
thy
base
minde
to
haue
bad
fortune
:
could
the
destinies
fauour
thée
,
which
hast
forgot
thine
honor
and
dignities
:
wil
not
the
Gods
plague
him
with
despight
that
payneth
his
father
with
disobedi●nce
.
Oh
Gods
,
if
any
fauour
or
iustice
b●●left
,
plague
me
,
but
fauour
poore
Fawnia
and
shrowd
her
from
the
tirannies
of
wretched
Pandosto
,
but
let
my
death
frée
her
from
mishap●
and
then
welcome
death
:
Dorastus
payned
with
these
heauie
passions
,
sorrowed
and
sighed
,
but
in
vaine
,
for
which
he
vsed
the
more
patience
.
But
againe
to
Pandosto
,
who
broyling
at
the
heat
of
vnlawfull
lust
coulde
take
no
rest
but
still
felte
his
minde
disquieted
with
his
new
loue
,
so
that
his
nobles
and
subiectes
marueyled
greatly
at
this
sudaine
alteration
,
not
being
able
to
coniecture
the
cause
of
this
his
continued
care
:
Pandosto
thinking
euery
hower
a
yeare
til
he
had
talked
once
againe
with
Fawnia
,
sent
for
her
secretly
into
his
chamber
,
whither
though
Fawnia
vnwillingly
comming
,
Pandosto
entertained
her
very
courteously
vsing
these
familiar
speaches
,
which
Fawnia
answered
as
shortly
in
this
wise
.
Pandosto
.
Fawnia
are
you
become
less●
wilfull
and
more
wise
,
to
pre●erre
the
loue
of
a
King
before
the
liking
of
a
poore
Knight
:
I
thinke
ere
this
you
thinke
it
is
better
to
be
fauoured
of
a
King
then
of
a
subiect
.
Fawnia
.
Pandosto
,
the
body
is
subiect
to
victories
,
but
the
mind
not
to
be
subdued
by
conquest
,
honesty
is
to
be
preferred
before
honour
,
and
a
dramme
of
faith
weigheth
downe
a
tunne
of
gold
.
I
haue
promised
Meleagrus
to
loue
,
and
will
performe
no
lesse
.
Pandosto
.
Fawnia
,
I
know
thou
art
not
so
vnwise
in
thy
choice
,
as
to
refuse
the
offer
of
a
King
,
nor
so
ingrateful
as
to
dispise
a
good
turne
:
thou
art
now
in
that
place
where
I
may
commaunde
,
and
yet
thou
séest
I
intreate
,
my
power
is
such
as
I
may
compell
by
force
;
and
yet
I
su●●y
prayers
:
Yéelde
Fawnia
thy
loue
to
him
which
burneth
in
thy
loue
,
Meleagrus
shall
be
set
frée
,
thy
countrymen
discharged
:
and
thou
both
loued
and
honoured
.
Fawnia
.
I
sée
Pandosto
,
where
lust
ruleth
it
is
a
miserable
thing
to
be
a
virgin
,
but
know
this
,
that
I
will
alwaies
preferre
fame
before
life
,
and
rather
choose
death
then
dishonour
.
Pandosto
séeing
that
there
was
in
Fawnia
a
determinate
courage
to
loue
Meleagrus
,
and
a
resolution
without
feare
to
hate
him
,
flong
away
from
her
in
a
rage
:
swearing
if
in
shorte
time
she
would
not
be
wonne
with
reason
:
he
would
forget
all
courtesie
,
and
compel
her
to
graunt
by
rigour
:
but
these
threatning
wordes
no
whit
dismayed
Fawnia
:
but
that
she
still
both
dispighted
and
dispised
Pandosto
.
While
thus
these
two
louers
stroue
,
the
one
to
winne
loue
the
other
to
liue
in
hate
:
Egistus
heard
certaine
newes
by
Merchauntes
of
Bohemia
,
that
his
sonne
Dorastus
was
imprisoned
by
Pandosto
,
which
●●●
h●●●
feare
greatly
that
his
sonne
should
be
but
hardly
intreated
:
yet
considering
that
Bellaria
and
hee
was
cleared
by
the
Oracle
of
Apollo
from
that
crime
wherewith
,
Pandosto
had
vniustly
charged
them
,
hee
thought
best
to
send
with
all
spéed
to
Pandosto
,
that
he
should
set
free
his
sonne
Dorastus
,
and
put
to
death
Fawnia
and
her
father
Porrus
:
finding
this
by
the
ad●●●e
of
Counsaile
the
spéediest
remedy
to
release
his
sonne
,
he
●aused
presently
two
of
his
shippes
to
be
rigged
and
thoroughly
furnished
with
prouision
of
men
and
victuals
,
and
sa●ediuers
of
his
nobles
,
Embassadoures
into
Bohemia
:
who
willing
to
obey
their
King
,
and
receiue
their
yong
Prince
:
made
no
delayes
,
for
feare
of
danger
,
but
with
as
much
speede
as
might
be
,
sailed
towards
Bohemia
:
the
winde
and
seas
fauored
them
greatly
,
which
made
them
hope
of
some
good
happe
,
for
within
three
daies
they
were
landed
:
which
Pandosto
no
soner
heard
of
their
arriuall
,
but
hee
in
person
went
to
méete
them
,
intreating
them
with
such
sumptuous
and
famili●●
courtesie
,
that
they
might
well
perceiue
how
sory
he
was
for
the
formet
mi●ries
hee
had
offered
to
their
King
,
and
how
willing
(
if
it
might
be
)
to
make
amendes
.
As
Pandosto
made
report
to
them
,
how
one
Meleagrus
a
Knight
of
Trapolonia
was
lately
ariued
with
a
Lady
called
Fawnia
in
his
land
,
comming
very
suspitiously
,
accompanied
onely
with
one
seruant
,
and
an
olde
shepheard
.
The
Embassadours
perceiued
by
the
halfe
,
what
the
whole
tale
ment
,
and
began
to
coniecture
,
that
it
was
Dorastus
,
who
for
feare
to
bee
knowne
,
had
chaunged
his
name
:
but
dissembling
the
matter
,
they
shortly
ariued
at
the
Court
,
where
after
they
had
bin
verie
solemnly
and
sumptuously
feasted
,
the
noble
men
of
Sicilia
being
gathered
togither
,
they
made
reporte
of
their
Embassage
●
where
they
certified
Pandosto
that
Meleagtus
was
sonne
and
heire
to
the
King
Egistus
,
and
that
his
name
was
Dorastus
:
how
contrarie
to
the
Kings
minde
he
had
priuily
conuaied
away
that
Fawnia
,
intending
to
marrie
her
,
being
but
daughter
to
that
poore
shepheard
Porrus
:
wherevpon
the
Kings
request
was
,
that
Capnio
,
Fawnia
,
and
Porrus
might
bee
murthered
and
put
to
death
,
and
that
his
sonne
Dorastus
might
be
sent
home
in
safetie
.
Pandosto
hauing
attentiuely
and
with
great
meruaile
he●rd
their
Embassage
,
willing
to
reconcile
himselfe
to
Egistus
,
and
to
shew
him
how
greatlie
he
estéemed
his
labour
:
although
loue
and
fancy
forbad
him
to
hurt
Fawnia
,
yet
in
despight
of
loue
hee
determined
to
execute
Egistus
will
without
mercy
,
and
therefore
he
presently
sent
for
Dorastus
out
of
prison
,
who
meruailing
at
this
vnlooked
for
curtesie
,
found
at
his
comming
to
the
Kings
presence
,
that
which
he
least
doubted
of
,
his
fathers
Embassadours●
who
no
sooner
sawe
him
,
but
with
great
reuerence
they
honored
him
:
and
Pandosto
embracing
Dorastus
,
set
him
by
him
very
louingly
in
a
chaire
of
estate
.
Dorastus
ashamed
that
his
follie
was
bewraied
,
sate
a
long
time
as
one
in
a
muse
,
til
Pandosto
told
him
the
summe
of
his
Fathers
embassage
,
which
he
had
no
sooner
heard
,
but
he
was
toucht
at
the
quicke
,
for
the
cruell
sentence
that
was
pronounced
against
Fawnia
:
but
neither
could
his
sorrow
nor
perswasions
preuaile
,
for
Pandosto
commaunded
that
Fawnia
,
Porrus
,
and
Capnio
,
should
bee
brought
to
his
presence
:
who
were
no
sooner
come
,
but
Pandosto
hauing
his
former
loue
turned
to
a
disdainful
hate
,
began
to
rage
against
Fawnia
in
these
tearmes
.
THou
disdainfull
vassal
,
thou
currish
kite
,
assigned
by
the
destinies
to
base
fortune
,
and
yet
with
an
aspiring
minde
gazing
after
honor
:
how
durst
thou
presume
,
being
a
beggar
,
to
match
with
a
Prince
:
By
thy
alluring
lookes
to
inchant
the
sonne
of
a
King
,
to
leaue
his
owne
countrie
to
fulfill
thy
disordinate
lusts
.
O
despightfull
minde
,
a
proud
heart
in
a
beggar
is
not
vnlike
to
a
great
fire
in
a
smal
cottage
,
which
warmeth
not
the
house
,
but
burneth
it
:
assure
thy selfe
thou
shalt
die
,
and
thou
old
doating
foole
,
whose
follie
hath
bene
such
,
as
to
suffer
thy
daughter
to
reach
aboue
thy
fortune
:
looke
for
no
other
méede
,
but
the
like
punishment
.
But
Capnio
,
thou
which
hast
betrayed
the
King
,
and
hast
consented
to
the
vnlawfull
lust
of
thy
Lord
and
maister
,
I
know
not
how
iustly
I
may
plague
thée
:
death
is
too
easie
a
punishment
for
thy
falsehood
,
and
to
liue
(
if
not
in
extreme
miserie
)
were
not
to
shew
thée
equitie
.
I
therefore
award
that
thou
shall
haue
thine
eyes
put
out
,
and
continually
while
thou
diest
,
grinde
in
a
mil
like
a
brute
beast
.
The
feare
of
death
●rought
a
sorrowfull
silence
vpon
Fawnia
and
Capnio
,
but
Porrus
séeing
no
hope
of
life
,
burst
forth
into
these
spéeches
.
PAndosto
,
and
ye
noble
Emabassadours
of
Sicili●●
,
séeing
without
cause
I
am
condemned
to
die
:
I
am
yet
glad
I
haue
opportunitie
to
disburden
my
conscience
before
my
death
:
I
will
tel
you
as
much
as
I
know
,
and
yet
no
more
than
is
true
:
whereas
I
am
accused
that
I
haue
bene
a
supporter
of
Fawnias
pride
,
and
shee
disdained
as
a
vilde
begger
,
so
it
is
,
that
I
am
neither
Father
vnto
her
,
nor
she
daughter
vnto
me
.
For
so
it
happened
that
I
being
a
poore
shepheard
in
Sicilia
,
liuing
by
kéeping
others
mens
flockes
:
one
of
my
shéepe
straying
downe
to
the
sea
side
,
as
I
went
to
séeke
her
,
I
saw
a
little
boat
driuen
vpon
the
shoare
,
wherein
I
found
a
babe
of
sixe
daies
olde
,
wrapped
in
a
mantle
of
skarlet
,
hauing
about
the
necke
this
chain●
:
I
pittying
the
child
,
and
desirous
of
the
treasure
,
carried
it
home
to
my
wife
,
who
with
great
care
nursed
it
vp
,
and
set
it
to
keepe
sheepe
.
Heere
is
the
chaine
and
the
Iewels
,
and
this
Fawnia
is
the
childe
whome
I
found
in
the
boate
,
what
shee
is
,
or
of
what
parentage
I
knowe
not
,
b●●t
this
I
am
assured
that
shee
is
none
of
mine
.
Pandosto
would
scarce
suffer
him
to
tell
out
his
tale
,
but
that
he
enquired
the
time
of
the
yeere
,
the
manner
of
the
boate
,
and
other
circumstaunces
,
which
when
he
found
agreeing
to
his
count
,
he
sodainelie
leapt
from
his
seate
,
and
kissed
Fawnia
,
wetting
her
tender
cheeks
with
his
teares
,
and
crying
my
daughter
Fawnia
,
ah
swtete
Fawnia
,
I
am
thy
Father
,
Fawnia
.
This
sodaine
passion
of
the
King
draue
them
all
into
a
maze
,
especially
Fawnia
and
Dorastus
.
But
when
the
King
had
breathed
himselfe
a
while
in
this
newe
ioy
,
hee
rehearsed
beefore
the
Embassadours
the
whole
matter
,
how
hee
hadde
entreated
his
wife
Bellaria
for
iealousie
,
and
that
this
was
the
childe
whome
hee
sent
to
floate
in
the
seas
.
Fawnia
was
not
more
ioyfull
that
she
had
found
such
a
Father
,
then
Dorastus
was
glad
he
should
get
such
a
wife
.
The
Embassadors
reioyced
that
their
yong
prince
had
made
such
a
choice
,
that
those
Kingdomes
which
through
enmitie
had
long
time
bin
disseuered
,
should
now
through
perpetual
amitie
be
vnited
and
reconciled
.
The
Citizens
and
subiects
of
Bohemia
(
hearing
that
the
King
had
found
againe
his
Daughter
,
which
was
supposed
dead
,
ioyfull
that
there
was
an
heire
aparant
to
his
Kingdome
)
made
Bonstres
and
showes
throughout
the
Cittie
:
The
Courtiers
and
Knights
appointed
Iusts
and
Turneis
,
to
signifie
their
willing
mindes
in
gratifying
the
Kings
hap
.
Eighteene
daies
being
past
in
these
princely
sports
,
Pandosto
willing
to
recompence
old
Porrus
,
of
a
shepheard
made
him
a
Knight
:
which
done
,
prouiding
a
sufficient
Nauie
to
receiue
him
and
his
retinue
,
accompanied
with
Dorastus
,
Fawnia
,
and
the
Sicilian
Embassadours
,
he
sailed
towards
Sicilia
,
where
he
was
most
princelie
entertained
by
Egistus
:
who
hearing
this
comicall
euent
,
reioyced
greatly
at
his
sonnes
good
happe
,
and
without
delay
(
to
the
perpetuall
ioy
of
the
two
yong
Louers
)
celebrated
the
marriage
:
which
was
no
sooner
ended
,
but
Pandosto
(
calling
to
mind
how
first
he
betraied
his
friend
Egistus
,
how
his
iealousie
was
the
cause
of
Bellarias
death
,
that
contrarie
to
the
law
of
nature
hee
had
lusted
after
his
owne
Daughter
)
moued
with
these
desperate
thoughts
,
he
fell
in
a
melancholie
fit
,
and
to
close
vp
the
Comedie
with
a
Tragicall
stratageme
,
hee
slewe
himselfe
,
whose
death
being
many
daies
bewailed
of
Fawnia
,
Dorastus
,
and
his
deere
friend
Egistus
,
Dorastus
taking
his
leaue
