CHAP.
I.
How
the
Marquesse
of
Saluss
passed
the
time
of
his
youth
without
any
desire
of
mariage
,
till
he
was
requested
by
the
faire
entreatie
of
a
fauorite
,
and
other
Gentlemen
,
to
affect
a
wife
;
both
for
the
good
of
the
Country
,
and
the
honour
of
himselfe
:
with
his
answer
to
the
same
.
BEtweene
the
Mountaines
of
Italy
and
France
,
towards
the
South
,
lyes
the
territory
of
Salus
,
a
Country
flourishing
with
excellent
Townes
and
Castles
,
and
peopled
with
the
best
sort
of
Gentles
and
Peasants
:
amongst
whom
there
liued
not
long
since
a
Nobleman
,
of
great
hope
and
expectation
,
Lord
of
the
Cnuntry
,
by
name
,
Gualter
,
Marquesse
of
Saluss
:
to
whom
,
as
the
gouernment
a
pertained
by
right
of
inheritance
;
so
their
obedience
attended
,
by
desert
of
his
worthinesse
.
He
was
young
in
yéeres
,
noble
of
lineage
,
and
such
attractiue
demeanor
,
that
the
best
thought
it
a
pleasure
to
bée
commanded
by
him
,
and
the
worst
grew
more
tractable
by
his
good
example
:
his
delight
was
in
hunting
and
hawking
,
and
the
pleasure
of
the
time
present
extinguished
the
care
of
the
time
to
come
;
for
he
thought
not
of
mariage
,
nor
to
intangle
himselfe
with
the
inconueniences
of
a
wife
,
till
at
last
the
people
and
Noblemen
of
his
Country
proiected
the
contrary
,
as
discontented
to
sée
him
indisposed
that
way
,
and
presaging
a
kind
of
prosperity
to
themselues
,
if
by
his
mariage
posteritie
might
arise
to
assure
them
the
better
,
how
they
might
bestow
their
obedience
hereafter
.
Whereupon
,
they
assembled
together
,
and
made
one
day
amongst
the
rest
a
determiner
of
their
resolutions
,
choosing
out
for
their
speaker
a
Noble
Knight
,
of
great
authority
,
faire
demeanor
,
eloquent
spéech
,
and
more
inward
with
the
Marquesse
then
any
of
the
rest
:
who
,
thus
acquainted
with
all
their
mindes
,
and
prepared
to
vtter
his
owne
minde
,
tooke
an
opportunity
to
acquaint
the
renowned
Marquesse
with
the
matter
.
Most
Honourable
Sir
,
the
great
humanity
extended
toward
vs
,
&
of
which
I
most
especially
haue
participated
,
hath
thus
emboldened
me
aboue
others
,
to
make
a
further
triall
of
your
patience
,
and
forbearing
my
rudenes
;
not
that
there
is
any
sufficiency
or
singularity
in
me
aboue
others
:
but
in
that
héeretofore
I
haue
found
you
so
generous
toward
all
,
I
make
no
question
to
finde
you
as
gratious
toward
my selfe
;
and
in
that
it
hath
pleased
you
to
accept
of
our
loue
,
wee
are
proud
againe
to
be
vnder
your
obedience
:
wherein
we
shall
reioice
the
more
,
if
you
now
accord
to
our
request
the
sooner
,
which
is
,
to
marry
without
delay
.
The
time
passeth
,
and
will
not
be
recalled
:
your
youth
intreats
it
,
and
must
not
be
demed
:
your
countrey
importunes
it
,
and
would
not
bee
opposed
:
your
neighbours
desire
it
,
and
hope
to
bee
satisfied
:
and
all
sorts
request
it
,
and
wish
it
for
your
honour
.
For
when
age
approacheth
,
death
attends
it
at
the
héeles
,
&
no
man
can
tell
when
,
or
how
it
will
fall
vpon
him
.
Therefore
wee
humbly
request
you
to
accept
our
supplications
,
and
accord
to
this
importunity
,
that
we
may
prouide
by
your
appointment
,
a
lady
worthy
of
your
honour
and
our
subiection
.
In
this
wee
are
the
more
suppliant
,
because
it
will
rebound
so
much
to
the
good
of
your
countrey
,
and
the
enlarging
your
renowne
:
for
if
it
should
so
fall
out
(
which
God
forbid
)
that
you
die
without
issue
,
we
may
lament
the
losse
of
our
lord
,
but
not
redresse
the
complaints
of
the
people
:
we
shall
want
you
that
was
al
our
comfort
,
but
are
sure
of
distresse
to
our
euerlasting
trouble
.
If
then
you
either
loue
your selfe
,
or
pity
vs
,
frame
a
heart
to
this
impression
,
and
leaue
not
vs
to
further
feare
and
disquiet
.
When
the
noble
lord
had
thus
apprehended
the
petition
of
his
louing
subiects
,
he
resolued
to
answer
them
as
gratiously
as
they
had
propounded
the
businesse
with
regard
of
duty
,
and
so
replied
:
My
dearest
friends
,
you
haue
vrged
mee
to
a
matter
,
in
which
as
yet
I
haue
beene
a
mere
stranger
:
for
by
nature
I
delight
in
liberty
,
and
by
custome
continued
my
pleasures
;
both
which
must
needs
bee
curbed
by
mariage
,
and
restrained
by
taking
a
wife
:
notwithstanding
,
I
cast
awaie
all
doubts
,
to
pleasure
you
;
and
will
thinke
of
no
incombrances
so
you
be
satisfied
.
For
though
mariage
hath
many
difficulties
attending
;
especially
,
the
feare
of
legitimation
in
our
children
,
and
suspicion
of
that
honour
which
lies
on
our
wiues
honesty
,
yet
all
shall
bee
ouercomne
with
this
resolution
,
that
I
shall
please
you
in
the
same
:
for
I
am
resolued
,
if
anie
good
come
for
mans
contentment
by
marriage
,
it
is
from
God
;
to
whom
I
submit
this
cause
,
and
pray
for
the
good
successe
of
your
wishes
,
that
I
may
liue
to
maintaine
your
peace
,
as
well
as
my
owne
pleasure
:
and
look
wherein
my
contentment
shall
enlarge
mine
honour
,
your
welfare
shall
be
respected
aboue
my
life
;
so
that
(
beleeue
it
)
I
will
satisfie
your
demands
,
and
apply
my selfe
to
the
purpose
.
Only
one
thing
I
request
at
your
hands
,
to
take
in
worth
my
choice
,
and
neither
insult
if
she
be
a
princesse
of
greatnes
,
nor
repine
if
she
be
of
meane
estate
:
but
loue
her
because
I
haue
loued
you
,
and
regard
her
howsoeuer
,
in
that
she
is
my
wife
;
neither
being
curious
nor
inquisitiue
whom
I
will
chuse
,
nor
disaffected
when
it
is
past
remedy
.
When
the
company
had
heard
him
out
,
and
found
him
so
willing
to
their
satisfaction
,
they
gaue
him
thankes
with
one
heart
for
his
kinde
admission
,
and
answered
with
one
tongue
,
he
should
not
finde
them
repugnant
,
but
they
would
honor
his
wife
as
the
princesse
of
the
world
,
and
be
morigerous
to
him
as
the
Commander
of
their
soules
.
Thus
did
this
new
report
(
like
a
messenger
of
glad
tidings
)
fill
all
the
Marquisate
with
ioy
,
and
the
palace
with
delight
,
when
they
vnderstood
their
lord
would
marry
,
and
in
a
manner
heard
the
time
appointed
:
for
presently
it
was
proclaimed
through
the
Countrey
,
and
a
day
assigned
for
all
commers
to
come
to
the
Court
.
The
Nobles
prepared
themselues
in
the
best
manner
:
the
Ladies
spared
no
cost
,
either
for
ornaments
of
their
bodies
,
or
setting
out
their
beauties
:
the
Gentles
flocked
to
please
their
lord
,
and
were
braue
to
set
out
their
owne
greatnes
:
the
Citizens
were
rich
in
their
neatnes
,
and
handsome
in
their
attire
:
the
Officers
were
formall
in
their
showes
,
and
sumptuous
in
their
attendants
:
the
Countryman
had
his
variety
,
and
the
verie
Pesant
his
brauery
;
in
a
word
,
al
sorts
gloried
in
the
hope
of
that
festiuall
,
and
euery
mans
expectation
attended
the
day
of
the
triumph
.
For
neuer
was
such
a
preparation
in
Saluss
before
,
nor
such
a
confluence
of
people
seene
in
that
countrey
:
for
besides
the
nouelty
,
many
forraine
Princes
came
to
celebrate
this
mariage
,
and
to
shew
their
owne
greatnes
.
Sauoy
was
neare
,
and
sent
some
from
her
snowie
hills
:
France
as
neare
,
and
sent
others
from
her
fruitfull
vines
:
Italy
not
far
off
,
and
sent
many
from
her
pleasant
fields
:
and
the
Ilands
round
about
kept
none
at
home
that
would
come
.
Thus
were
his
kinred
inuited
,
strangers
admitted
,
his
owne
people
entertained
,
and
all
sorts
welcommed
:
but
as
yet
no
bride
was
seene
,
no
woman
named
,
no
lady
designed
,
no
maid
published
,
no
wife
knowne
:
onely
the
preparation
was
much
,
and
the
expectation
greater
.
All
this
while
the
Marquesse
continued
his
hunting
;
and
as
he
had
accustomed
,
resorted
much
to
a
poore
country
village
not
farre
from
Salusse
;
where
there
dwelt
as
poore
a
countriman
,
named
Ianicole
,
ouerworne
in
yeares
,
and
ouercomne
with
distresse
.
But
as
it
happens
many
times
,
that
inward
graces
doe
moderate
outward
discommodities
,
and
that
God
seasoneth
pouerty
with
contentment
and
their
sufficient
supportation
:
so
had
this
poore
man
all
his
deserts
supplied
in
the
admirable
comfort
of
one
onely
daughter
;
so
composed
,
as
if
Nature
determined
a
worke
of
ostentation
.
For
such
was
her
beauty
in
appearance
,
and
vertue
in
operation
,
that
it
put
iudicious
men
to
an
extasie
in
the
choise
by
comparison
:
but
both
vnited
did
héere
grace
each
other
;
and
when
they
pretended
an
action
,
it
was
all
to
go
forward
to
perfection
.
And
whereas
in
others
this
temporary
blessing
gaue
wings
to
desire
,
to
bee
seene
and
knowne
abroad
;
in
her
those
innated
vertues
allaied
the
heat
of
all
manner
of
passion
,
and
breakings
out
of
frailty
.
The
viands
they
had
were
but
meane
,
and
the
diet
they
kept
was
to
satisfie
nature
:
the
time
was
ouer-ruled
by
their
stomacks
,
and
the
ceremonies
they
vsed
were
thanks
to
God
,
&
moderation
in
their
repasts
.
The
vtensiles
of
the
house
were
homely
,
yet
handsome
in
regard
of
their
cleanlinesse
:
that
bed
which
they
had
the
ould
man
lay
in
,
and
the
swéet
daug●●●●
made
shift
with
the
ground
.
No
day
passed
without
pr●●●●●
and
praises
to
God
(
for
was
it
not
praise-worthy
to
ha●●
such
grace
in
this
disgrace
?
)
nor
any
night
,
without
taking
account
of
the
day
passed
.
Her
exercise
was
to
helpe
her
father
in
the
morning
,
and
driue
forth
her
sheep
in
the
day
time
:
hée
was
at
home
making
of
nets
,
and
shee
abroad
looking
to
her
lambs
:
she
was
neuer
heard
to
wish
for
any
better
,
but
to
thank
God
it
was
no
worse
.
No
word
of
repining
euer
came
from
her
mouth
,
or
the
least
grudge
from
her
heart
:
at
night
she
folded
her
sheep
,
and
dressed
her
fathers
supper
:
then
lay
they
downe
to
rest
,
and
rested
as
well
as
in
a
bed
of
Downe
indeed
.
This
was
the
glory
of
their
pouerty
,
and
memory
of
their
contentment
.
But
as
fire
will
not
be
hid
where
there
is
matter
comhustible
:
so
vertue
will
not
be
obscured
where
there
be
tongues
and
eares
:
nor
could
the
Marquesse
so
hallow
after
his
hawks
and
hounds
,
but
report
hallowed
in
his
eare
,
as
fast
,
this
wonderment
;
insomuch
that
when
it
was
confirmed
by
iudicious
relation
,
he
made
it
not
dainty
to
be
behoulding
to
his
owne
experience
.
Which
when
he
saw
concurring
with
fame
,
the
miracle
brought
a
kinde
of
astonishment
:
which
continuing
the
properties
of
such
nouelties
,
increased
to
meditation
:
and
so
comparing
the
rest
with
this
rarity
,
he
thought
her
a
fit
woman
to
make
his
wife
;
supposing
that
if
she
were
vertuous
by
nature
,
she
could
not
proue
vicious
by
education
:
but
rather
as
a
diamond
is
a
stone
of
the
same
value
,
whether
set
in
lead
or
horne
,
it
must
needs
bee
of
more
excellency
embellished
with
gold
and
enamell
.
In
which
resolution
hee
prepared
his
heart
,
and
went
forward
with
his
businesse
.
In
the
meane
time
the
Court
was
daintily
furnished
,
the
plate
prepared
,
the
apparell
magnificent
,
the
coronet
rich
,
the
iewels
precious
,
the
ornaments
excéeding
,
and
all
things
befitting
the
magnificence
of
a
prince
,
&
the
dignitie
of
a
queen
:
only
the
Nobles
wondred
,
the
ladies
were
amazed
,
the
damsels
maruelled
,
the
Gentles
disputed
,
the
people
flocked
,
and
all
sorts
attended
to
sée
who
should
possesse
this
wealth
,
and
bée
adorned
with
these
robes
.
Till
at
last
the
nuptial
day
came
indeed
:
honour
prepared
the
sumptuousnes
:
fame
diuulged
the
glory
:
Hymen
inuited
the
guests
:
magnificence
adorned
the
roomes
:
the
Officers
marshald
the
State
:
and
all
looked
for
a
Bride
:
but
who
she
was
,
the
next
Chapter
must
discouer
.
CHAP.
II.
How
after
all
this
great
preparation
,
the
Marquesse
of
Saluss
demanded
Grisell
of
her
poore
father
Ianicola
;
and
espousing
her
,
made
her
Marchionesse
of
Saluss
.
WHen
all
things
were
extended
to
this
glorious
shew
,
the
Marquesse
(
as
if
he
went
to
fetch
his
wife
indeed
)
tooke
with
him
a
great
company
of
Earls
,
Lords
,
Knights
,
Squires
and
Gentlemen
,
Ladies
and
attendants
;
and
went
from
the
Palace
into
the
Country
toward
Ianicolas
house
;
where
the
faire
mayd
Grisel
knowing
nothing
of
that
which
hapned
,
nor
once
dreaming
of
that
which
was
to
come
,
had
made
her
house
and
selfe
somwhat
handsome
,
determining
(
with
the
rest
of
her
neighbor
Virgins
)
to
sée
this
solemnity
:
at
which
instant
arriued
the
Marquesse
with
all
his
gracious
company
,
meeting
with
Grisel
,
as
shée
was
carrying
two
pitchers
of
water
to
her
poor
fathers
house
.
Of
whom
(
calling
her
by
her
name
)
he
asked
,
where
her
father
was
:
she
humbly
answered
,
in
the
house
.
Goe
then
said
hee
,
and
tell
him
I
would
speak
with
him
.
So
the
poore
old
man
(
made
the
poorer
by
this
astonishment
)
came
forth
to
the
Lord
somewhat
appauled
:
till
the
Marquesse
,
taking
him
by
the
hand
,
with
an
extraordinary
chearefulnesse
,
said
,
that
he
had
a
secret
to
impart
vnto
him
;
and
so
sequestring
him
from
the
company
,
spake
these
words
:
Ianicola
,
I
know
,
that
you
alwaies
loued
me
,
and
am
resolued
,
that
you
doe
not
now
hate
me
:
you
haue
beene
glad
when
I
haue
been
pleased
;
and
will
not
now
bee
sorrowfull
,
if
I
bee
satisfied
:
nay
,
I
am
sure
,
if
it
lie
in
your
power
,
you
will
further
my
delight
,
and
not
bee
a
contrary
to
my
request
.
For
I
intend
to
begge
your
daughter
for
my
wife
,
and
bee
your
sonne
in
lawe
for
your
aduancement
.
What
saiest
thou
man
?
wilt
thou
accept
mee
for
a
friend
,
as
I
haue
appointed
thee
for
a
father
?
The
poore
ould
man
was
so
astonished
,
that
he
could
not
looke
vp
for
teares
,
nor
speake
a
word
for
ioy
:
but
when
the
extasie
had
end
,
hee
thus
faintly
replied
;
My
gracious
Soueraigne
,
you
are
my
lord
,
and
therefore
I
must
accord
to
your
will
;
but
you
are
generous
,
and
therefore
I
presume
on
your
vertue
:
take
her
a
Gods
name
,
and
make
mee
a
glad
father
;
and
let
that
God
,
which
raiseth
the
humble
and
méek
,
make
her
a
befitting
wife
,
and
fruitfull
mother
.
Why
then
,
replied
the
Marquesse
,
let
vs
enter
your
house
:
for
I
must
aske
her
a
question
before
you
.
So
hee
went
in
,
the
company
tarrying
without
in
great
astonishment
:
the
faire
maid
was
busied
to
make
it
as
handsome
as
she
could
;
and
proud
againe
,
to
haue
such
a
guest
vnder
her
roofe
;
amazed
at
nothing
,
but
why
hee
should
come
so
accompanied
,
and
little
coniecturing
of
so
great
a
blessing
approaching
.
But
at
last
,
the
Marquesse
took
her
by
the
hand
,
and
vsed
these
spéeches
:
To
tel
you
this
blush
becomes
you
,
it
were
but
a
folly
;
and
that
your
modesty
hath
graced
your
comelines
,
may
proue
the
deceit
of
words
,
and
vnbefitting
my
greatnes
:
but
in
a
word
,
your
father
and
I
haue
agreed
to
make
you
my
wife
,
and
I
hope
you
will
not
disagree
to
take
me
to
your
husband
.
For
delay
shall
not
intangle
you
with
suspicion
,
nor
two
daies
longer
protract
the
kindnes
:
onely
I
must
bee
satisfied
in
this
,
if
your
heart
affoord
a
willing
entertainement
to
the
motion
;
and
your
vertue
a
constancy
to
this
resolution
,
Not
to
repine
at
my
pleasure
in
any
thing
,
nor
presume
on
contradiction
,
when
I
determine
to
command
.
For
as
amongst
good
souldiers
,
they
must
simply
obey
without
disputing
the
businesse
:
so
must
vertuous
wiues
dutifully
consent
without
reproofe
,
or
the
least
contraction
of
a
brow
.
Therefore
be
aduised
how
you
answer
,
and
I
charge
you
take
heed
,
that
the
tongue
vtter
no
more
then
the
heart
conceits
.
All
this
while
was
Grisel
wondring
at
the
miracle
,
had
not
religion
told
her
,
that
nothing
was
impossible
to
the
Commander
of
all
things
;
which
reduced
her
to
a
better
consideration
,
and
thus
brought
forth
an
answere
:
My
gracious
lord
,
I
am
not
ignorant
of
your
greatnesse
,
and
know
mine
owne
basenesse
;
there
is
no
worth
in
me
to
be
your
seruant
,
therefore
there
can
be
no
desert
to
be
your
wife
:
notwithstanding
,
because
God
will
be
the
Author
of
miraculous
accidents
,
I
yéeld
to
your
pleasure
,
and
praise
him
for
the
fortune
,
onely
this
I
will
be
bold
to
say
,
That
your
will
shall
shall
be
my
delight
,
and
death
shall
be
more
welcome
vnto
mée
,
then
a
word
of
displeasure
against
you
.
This
is
sufficient
,
answered
the
great
lord
,
and
so
most
louingly
he
took
her
by
the
hand
,
and
brought
her
to
the
company
,
euen
before
all
his
peeres
and
great
ladies
;
and
told
them
,
shee
should
bee
his
wife
:
so
that
wherein
they
extended
their
loue
,
reuerence
,
and
obedience
toward
her
,
he
would
exemplifie
his
regard
,
care
,
and
diligence
toward
them
.
And
because
outward
shewes
doe
sometimes
grace
befitting
actions
(
lest
her
pouerty
and
basenes
might
too
much
daunt
their
expectation
,
and
seeme
disgratious
to
their
noblenes
)
he
commanded
them
with
a
morall
liuelinesse
to
adorne
her
with
the
richest
robes
they
had
:
so
that
it
was
a
pleasure
to
see
,
how
the
ladies
bestire
themselues
;
a
delight
,
to
behould
the
seuerall
seruices
performed
;
the
many
hands
about
her
;
the
iewels
and
pendants
,
the
robes
and
mantles
;
the
ornaments
and
coronets
;
the
collanaes
and
chaines
;
with
all
other
particulars
and
accouterements
:
but
when
she
was
apparelled
indeed
,
it
was
a
rauishment
excéeding
report
,
and
they
which
stomached
her
preferment
,
were
now
delighted
with
her
glory
.
Such
a
benefit
hath
beauty
by
nature
,
and
gratiousnesse
by
nurture
.
CHAP.
III.
How
the
Marquesse
and
Grisel
were
married
together
.
AFter
the
ladies
had
thus
adorned
poore
Grisel
with
robes
befitting
her
estate
,
the
Marquesse
and
all
the
noble
company
returned
to
Saluss
,
and
in
the
Cathedrall
Church
in
sight
of
the
people
,
according
to
the
fulnesse
of
religious
ceremonies
,
they
were
espoused
together
,
and
with
great
solemnitie
returned
to
the
palace
.
Herein
yet
consisted
the
admiration
,
that
no
word
of
reproach
was
murmured
,
nor
eie
looked
vnpleasantly
vpon
her
:
for
by
her
wonderfull
demeanour
shee
had
gained
so
much
of
opinion
,
that
the
basenes
of
her
birth
was
not
thought
vpon
,
and
all
her
graces
concurring
made
them
verely
beleeue
,
shee
was
extracted
of
princely
lineage
:
no
man
once
supposed
,
that
shee
could
bee
Grisel
,
daughter
to
poore
Ianicola
;
but
rather
some
creature
metamorphosed
by
the
powers
of
heauen
:
for
besides
the
outward
statelinesse
&
maiesticall
carriage
of
herselfe
,
the
wonderfull
modestie
and
exact
symmetry
of
her
countenance
,
the
admirable
beauty
and
extraordinary
fauor
of
her
visage
,
her
faire
demeanour
had
a
kinde
of
attraction
,
and
her
gratious
words
,
a
swéet
deliuery
;
so
that
all
that
came
to
her
were
glad
of
their
accesse
,
and
they
which
went
from
her
,
triumphed
for
their
good
spéed
:
yea
,
report
extended
so
far
,
that
she
was
not
onely
visited
by
her
owne
lords
and
ladies
with
reuerence
;
but
attended
on
with
strangers
,
who
came
from
all
quarters
to
sée
her
,
and
to
bée
behoulding
to
their
owne
iudgements
:
so
that
if
the
Marquesse
loued
her
before
for
her
owne
worth
,
he
now
reuerenced
her
for
others
respect
;
the
rather
,
because
he
found
a
blessing
attending
her
presence
,
and
all
people
pleased
in
the
contract
.
For
when
any
controuersie
hapned
betwéene
himselfe
and
his
Nobles
,
she
was
so
nobly
minded
,
that
what
she
could
not
obtaine
by
faire
intreaty
,
she
yet
mitigated
by
swéet
perswasion
.
When
any
vnkindnes
hapned
of
forraine
Princes
,
shée
vrged
those
blessings
of
peace
,
and
reasoned
the
matter
with
delightsom
enforcement
&
when
the
people
were
either
complained
of
,
or
against
,
he
maruelled
from
whence
she
had
those
pretty
reasons
to
asswage
his
anger
,
and
they
verely
beléeued
shee
was
sent
from
heauen
for
their
reléefe
.
Thus
was
shée
amiable
to
her
lord
,
acceptable
to
her
people
,
profitable
to
her
Country
,
a
mirror
of
her
Sexe
,
a
person
priuiledged
by
nature
,
and
a
wonder
of
the
time
,
in
which
she
did
nothing
out
of
time
;
so
that
the
Marquesse
was
rather
rauished
then
louing
,
and
all
his
subiects
resolued
to
obedience
from
her
good
example
.
CHAP.
IIII.
How
the
Lady
Grisel
was
proued
by
her
Husband
,
who
thus
made
triall
of
her
patience
.
TO
other
blessings
,
in
processe
of
time
,
there
was
added
the
birth
of
a
swéet
Infant
,
a
Daughter
,
that
reioiced
the
mother
,
and
gladded
the
father
;
the
Country
triumphed
,
and
the
people
clapped
their
hands
for
ioy
.
For
the
Marquesse
still
loued
her
more
and
more
,
and
they
thought
their
liues
not
déere
for
her
,
if
occasion
serued
.
Notwithstanding
all
this
,
Fortune
hath
still
a
tricke
to
checke
the
pride
of
life
,
and
prosperity
must
be
seasoned
with
some
crosses
,
or
else
it
would
taint
&
corrupt
vs
too
much
.
Whereupon
,
the
Marquesse
determined
now
to
proue
his
wife
,
and
make
triall
of
her
vertues
indeed
:
and
so
taking
a
conuenient
season
,
after
the
childe
was
fully
meaned
,
he
one
day
repaired
secretly
to
her
chamber
,
and
(
séeming
halfe
angry
)
thus
imparted
his
mind
:
Although
,
Grisel
,
this
your
present
Fortune
hath
made
you
forget
your
former
estate
,
and
that
the
iollity
of
your
life
ouerswayeth
the
remembrance
of
your
birth
;
yet
,
neither
is
it
so
with
me
,
nor
my
Nobles
:
For
I
haue
some
occasion
of
distasting
,
and
they
great
cause
of
repining
,
in
that
they
must
be
subiect
to
one
so
base
,
and
haue
still
before
their
eyes
our
children
of
such
low
degrée
;
so
that
though
(
for
my
sake
)
they
make
good
semblance
of
the
present
,
yet
are
they
resolued
neuer
to
suffer
any
of
our
posterity
to
rule
ouer
them
;
of
which
,
as
they
haue
disputed
with
mee
,
I
cannot
chuse
but
forewarne
you
:
Therefore
,
to
preuent
this
discontentment
betwéene
vs
,
and
to
maintaine
that
peace
which
must
corroborate
my
estate
,
I
must
néedes
yeelde
to
their
iudgements
,
and
take
away
your
Daughter
from
you
,
to
preserue
their
amity
:
the
thing
I
know
must
be
displeasing
to
Nature
,
and
a
Mother
cannot
well
indure
such
a
losse
:
but
there
is
now
no
remedy
,
only
make
vse
of
your
first
resolutions
,
and
remember
what
you
promised
me
at
the
beginning
of
our
Contract
.
The
Lady
hearing
this
sorrowfull
preamble
,
and
apprehending
the
Marquesse
resolution
,
to
her
griefe
(
although
euery
word
might
haue
béene
as
arrowes
in
her
sides
)
yet
admitting
of
the
temptation
,
and
disputing
with
her selfe
to
what
end
the
vertues
of
Patience
,
Modesty
,
Forbearance
,
Fortitude
and
Magnanimity
were
ordained
,
if
they
had
not
subiects
to
worke
vpon
,
and
obiects
to
looke
after
;
thus
replyed
:
My
lord
,
you
are
my
Soueraigne
,
and
all
earthly
pleasures
and
contentments
of
my
life
come
from
you
,
as
the
fountaine
of
my
happinesse
;
and
therefore
please
your selfe
,
and
(
beléeue
it
)
it
is
my
pleasure
that
you
are
pleased
:
as
for
the
child
,
it
is
the
gift
of
God
and
yours
.
Now
he
that
giues
may
take
away
,
and
as
wée
receiue
blessings
from
heauen
,
so
must
we
not
dote
on
them
on
earth
;
lest
by
setting
our
minds
too
much
vpon
them
,
wée
cannot
set
off
our
hearts
when
they
are
taken
from
vs
:
only
one
thing
I
desire
,
that
you
remember
I
am
a
mother
,
and
if
I
burst
not
out
into
passion
for
her
losse
,
it
is
for
your
sake
I
am
no
more
perplexed
,
and
so
you
shall
euer
find
mee
a
wife
befitting
your
desires
.
When
the
Marquesse
saw
her
constancy
,
and
was
in
a
manner
pleased
with
her
modest
answere
,
hée
replied
not
at
all
at
that
time
.
For
his
heart
was
full
,
and
what
betweene
ioy
and
feare
he
departed
:
ioy
that
so
great
vertue
had
the
increase
of
goodnesse
:
feare
that
he
had
presumed
too
farre
on
such
a
trial
:
but
resolued
in
his
businesse
,
hee
went
to
put
it
to
the
aduenture
.
CHAP.
V.
The
Marquesse
sent
a
Varlet
for
his
daughter
;
but
priuatly
disposed
of
her
with
his
sister
,
the
Dutchesse
of
Bologna
de
grace
,
who
brought
her
vp
in
all
things
befitting
the
childe
of
so
great
a
person
.
NOt
long
after
this
sad
conference
betwéen
the
Marquesse
and
his
lady
,
hée
called
a
faithfull
seruant
vnto
him
;
such
a
one
as
the
poet
talks
of
,
propter
fidem
&
taciturnitatem
dilectum
,
to
whom
hée
imparts
this
secrecy
;
and
with
seuerall
instructions
,
what
hée
truly
meant
to
do
with
the
child
,
sent
him
to
his
wife
with
an
vnsauory
message
;
which
yet
hée
deliuered
in
this
manner
:
I
had
not
now
come
to
you
,
most
noble
lady
,
though
that
power
commanded
me
,
which
hath
my
life
in
subiection
,
if
I
had
not
more
relied
vpon
your
wisdome
and
vertue
,
than
feared
death
it selfe
.
Therefore
I
craue
pardon
if
I
am
displeasing
in
my
message
,
and
séeme
cruell
(
as
it
were
)
in
tearing
your
flesh
from
your
sides
,
by
bereauing
you
of
this
your
daughter
:
for
hée
hath
appointed
it
that
must
not
bée
gainsaid
,
and
I
am
a
messenger
that
cannot
bée
denied
:
but
yet
with
what
vnwillingnes
(
God
knowes
my
soule
.
)
in
regard
that
you
are
so
respected
amongst
vs
,
that
wée
think
of
nothing
but
what
may
delight
you
,
and
talk
not
a
word
,
but
of
your
merit
and
worthinesse
!
When
shée
had
heard
him
out
;
remembring
the
conference
the
Marquesse
had
with
her
,
and
apprehending
there
was
no
disputing
in
a
matter
remedilesse
,
especially
with
a
messenger
,
shée
resolued
it
was
ordained
to
dy
:
and
although
shée
must
now
(
as
it
were
)
commit
it
to
a
slaughter-house
,
whereby
any
woman
in
the
world
might
with
good
becomming
haue
burst
out
into
some
passion
,
and
well
enough
shewed
a
distracted
extasie
;
yet
recollecting
her
spirits
,
and
reclaiming
those
motiues
of
nature
already
striuing
in
her
bowels
,
shée
took
the
childe
in
her
armes
,
and
with
a
mothers
blessing
,
and
swéetned
kisses
,
the
countenance
somewhat
sad
,
and
the
gesture
without
any
violent
excruciation
,
deliuered
it
vnto
the
fellow
,
not
once
amazed
nor
distempred
,
because
her
lord
would
haue
it
so
,
and
shée
knew
not
how
to
haue
it
otherwise
:
only
shee
said
,
I
must
,
my
friend
,
intreat
one
thing
at
your
hands
,
that
out
of
humanity
and
Christian
obseruation
,
you
leaue
not
the
body
to
bée
deuoured
of
beasts
or
birds
:
for
it
is
worthy
of
a
graue
in
her
innocency
:
and
Christian
buriall
,
though
shée
were
but
my
daughter
alone
.
The
fellow
hauing
receiued
the
childe
,
durst
not
tarry
for
feare
of
discouery
(
such
impression
had
her
words
make
already
)
but
returned
with
it
to
his
Maister
;
not
leauing
out
the
least
circumstance
of
her
answer
,
nor
any
thing
might
enlarge
her
renowne
and
constancy
.
The
Marquesse
considering
the
great
vertue
of
his
wife
,
and
looking
on
the
beauty
of
his
daughter
,
began
to
enter
into
a
kinde
of
compassion
,
and
to
retract
his
wilfulnesse
:
but
at
last
,
resolution
won
the
field
of
pity
and
hauing
(
as
he
thought
)
so
well
begunne
,
would
not
so
soone
giue
ouer
:
but
with
the
same
secrecy
hée
had
taken
her
from
his
wife
,
hée
sent
it
away
to
his
sister
,
the
Duchess
of
Bologna

containing
in
them
the
nature
of
the
businesse
,
and
the
manner
of
her
bringing
vp
;
which
shee
accordingly
put
in
practice
,
receiuing
her
néece
with
ioy
,
and
instructing
her
with
diligence
:
so
that
it
soone
appeared
,
vnder
what
a
tutelage
shée
was
,
and
whose
daughter
shee
might
be

For
her
pregnancy
learned
whatsoeuer
they
taught
her
:
and
the
grace
shee
added
,
quickly
discouered
,
that
honour
had
confederated
with
nature
to
make
her
the
of-spring
of
such
a
mother
.

The
Marquesse
,
not
contented
with
this
proofe
,
tooke
away
also
her
sonne
,
in
which
aduersity
(
with
other
additions
)
she
shewed
an
extraordinary
patience
.
AFter
this
tempest
was
ouerpast
,
the
rage
whereof
might
easily
haue
broken
the
tender
sides
of
poore
Grisels
Barke
(
For
,
shée
verely
beleeued
that
her
Daughter
was
slaine
)
the
Marquesse
still
lay
in
waite
for
the
trial
of
his
wife
,
watching
euery
opportunity
which
might
acquaint
him
with
her
discontentments
;
especially
,
if
he
might
vnderstand
whether
shée
complained
of
his
rigorousnesse
and
vnkindnesse
,
or
no
:
but
when
he
not
onely
was
aduertised
of
her
constancy
,
and
faire
demeanor
,
but
saw
(
by
experience
)
that
shée
was
neither
elated
in
prosperity
,
nor
deiected
in
aduersity
:
when
hee
perceiued
so
great
a
temperature
betwéene
the
ioy
of
her
aduancement
and
the
sorrow
for
her
trouble
,
hée
wondred
at
her
constancy
;
and
the
rather
,
because
her
loue
and
obseruation
toward
him
continued
with
that
swéetnes
,
and
had
such
delectable
passages
,
that
his
heart
was
set
on
fire
againe
,
and
hee
knew
not
how
to
allay
the
extreamities
of
his
ioy
.
In
this
manner
passed
foure
yéeres
,
wherein
shée
ouerpassed
all
of
her
kinde
;
and
he
thought
it
a
donatiue
from
heauen
to
haue
such
a
wife
.
At
last
,
nature
bestird
herselfe
againe
,
and
made
her
a
happy
mother
of
a
faire
sonne
;
the
ioy
whereof
led
the
whole
Country
into
the
house
of
praier
&
thanksgiuing
,
and
brought
them
home
againe
by
cresset-light
and
bonfires
:
so
that
shée
well
perceiued
how
acceptable
shée
was
to
her
people
,
and
beloued
of
her
husband
.
Notwithstanding
,
with
the
same
water
that
draue
the
mill
,
hée
drowned
it
;
and
made
her
still
beléeue
the
contrary
:
for
after
two
yéeres
,
that
the
childe
was
past
the
danger
of
a
cradle
,
and
the
trouble
of
infancy
,
hée
took
occasion
once
againe
to
inflict
vpon
the
vertuous
Grisel
a
new
punishment
;
erecting
his
building
vpon
the
old
foundation
.
You
knowe
,
saith
hée
,
what
former
contentions
I
haue
had
with
my
Nobility
about
our
marriage
,
not
that
they
can
lay
any
imputation
on
you
or
your
worthy
behauior
,
but
on
my
fortune
and
disasterous
affection
to
match
my selfe
so
meanly
:
wherin
yet
their
forward
exprobration
was
rebated
,
all
the
while
we
either
had
no
children
,
or
that
they
supposed
,
that
which
we
had
to
be
taken
from
vs
:
all
which
ariseth
out
of
the
error
of
ambition
(
which
,
in
a
manner
,
is
carelesse
of
vertue
)
respecting
nothing
but
a
high
Progeny
:
so
that
euer
since
this
child
was
borne
,
there
hath
passed
many
secret
grudgings
,
and
vnkinde
speeches
against
it
,
as
if
it
were
a
disparagement
to
their
greatnesse
,
to
haue
a
lord
of
so
meane
Parentage
,
and
the
Country
to
be
subiect
to
the
grand
child
of
Ianicola
,
whom
you
sée
,
neuer
since
our
mariage
,
they
would
admit
to
place
of
honor
,
or
to
ouertop
them
by
way
of
association
;
nor
will
suffer
this
my
Gualter
,
though
it
carry
the
fathers
name
to
rule
ouer
them
.
Therefore
,
to
allay
the
heat
of
these
present
fires
,
&
to
preserue
the
peace
of
my
estate
(
by
preuenting
the
mischief
of
future
troubles
)
I
am
resolued
to
settle
my
contentment
,
and
to
deale
with
your
sonne
,
as
I
haue
dealt
with
your
daughter
.
And
of
this
I
thought
good
to
aduertise
you
,
as
a
preparatiue
for
patience
,
lest
sorrow
should
distract
with
ouersuddennesse
.
Now
you
Ladies
and
Dames
of
these
times
,
that
stand
vpon
tearmes
of
spirit
and
greatnesse
of
heart
(
some
will
haue
it
courage
and
magnanimity
of
minde
)
that
are
affrighted
at
the
Character
of
a
foole
:
and
silly
poore
soule
,
I
speake
not
of
Strumpets
,
or
of
such
as
are
willing
to
brand
themselues
with
the
impurity
of
vncleannesse
,
and
dare
out
of
impudency
or
running
,
tell
their
Husbands
to
their
faces
,
they
will
goe
where
they
list
,
and
do
what
they
please
;
but
of
such
that
vnder
that
impregnable
target
of
honestie
are
yet
so
impatient
at
euery
distemperature
,
that
they
dare
answere
taunt
for
taunt
:
yea
like
Viragos
indeed
offer
the
first
blow
,
though
a
horrible
confusion
follow
;
what
would
you
haue
answered
this
lord
?
or
with
what
fire-works
would
you
haue
made
your
approches
vnto
him
?
I
will
not
tarry
for
your
answere
,
lest
I
pull
the
old
house
in
peeces
,
and
so
though
I
scape
the
timber
I
may
be
crushed
with
the
rubbish
:
but
I
will
now
〈…〉
all
obiections
.
In
telling
you
what
faire
GRISEL
said
:
and
if
there
bée
hope
of
reformation
,
insert
it
as
a
caution
,
to
diuert
you
from
your
naturall
fiercenes
.
When
shée
had
heard
him
out
:
though
to
the
griefe
of
her
soule
,
shée
conceiued
the
murther
of
her
childe
,
and
that
the
apprehension
renewed
the
sorrow
of
her
daughters
losse
:
yet
would
shée
giue
no
way
to
such
distemperature
,
that
either
hée
should
haue
cause
to
suspect
her
patience
,
or
shée
herselfe
the
temptation
of
disquiet
;
and
therefore
thus
replied
:
My
lord
,
I
haue
many
times
told
you
,
that
my
soule
reioiceth
in
nothing
but
in
your
reposednes
:
for
you
are
the
lord
of
mée
and
this
infant
:
and
though
I
could
bée
contented
to
shew
my selfe
a
mother
in
his
education
,
and
bring
him
now
and
then
vnto
you
as
the
pledge
of
our
loues
,
yet
are
you
the
commander
of
my
vowes
,
and
I
will
rectifie
all
disordered
appetites
by
the
rule
of
your
pleasure
.
Take
him
then
a
Gods
name
,
and
if
hée
bée
marked
for
death
,
it
is
but
the
common
brand
of
all
creatures
;
nay
,
if
the
mother
may
bée
a
sacrifice
of
propitiation
to
appease
your
disquiet
,
neuer
was
lamb
so
meek
,
nor
holocaust
so
willing
to
bée
offred
.
For
,
what
may
bée
comprehended
vnder
the
titles
of
father
,
kinred
,
children
,
friends
,
life
,
pleasure
,
honour
and
contentment
,
are
all
comprised
vnder
your
loue
,
and
the
society
of
a
husband
.
Do
with
mée
then
what
you
please
:
the
body
shall
serue
your
turne
while
it
liues
,
and
the
soule
attend
you
after
death
.
Héere
was
an
answer
to
pacifie
the
tyrants
of
Sicilie
,
and
put
a
man
quite
out
of
his
tract
of
prouing
such
a
wife
:
yet
the
Marquesse
onely
made
vse
of
it
to
reioice
in
the
assurance
of
her
goodnes
;
and
went
the
rather
forward
in
his
dangerous
course
of
temptation
.
CHAP.

.
The
Marquesse
,
resolute
to
proue
his
wife
further
,
sendeth
for
his
son
,
&
disposeth
of
him
as
he
had
done
of
his
daughter
.
AS
this
patient
and
wonderfull
lady
was
one
day
sporting
with
her
infant
;
like
an
vntimely
tempest
(
spoiling
the
beauty
of
some
new
rooted
plants
)
did
this
messenger
of
death
interpose
himselfe
betwéene
her
recreation
,
making
the
hollow
demand
of
her
sonne
worse
than
the
noise
of
aschrich-owle
ouer
a
sick
mans
bed
:
yet
(
as
if
there
were
a
conscience
in
disquieting
her
greatnes
,
or
if
you
will
,
her
goodnes
)
he
came
forward
with
preambles
and
apologies
,
insinuating
with
crauing
pardon
the
authority
of
a
lord
,
the
duty
of
a
seruant
,
the
terrour
of
death
,
the
circumstance
of
obedience
,
and
all
other
enforcements
which
might
either
excuse
a
messenger
,
or
make
the
message
it selfe
without
blame
.
What
should
I
enlarge
a
discourse
of
terrour
?
it
is
a
curtesie
to
conclude
a
mischiefe
with
quicknes
:
hée
was
not
so
sudden
in
his
demand
,
as
shée
was
ready
in
her
dispatch
:
for
she
presently
blest
the
child
,
kissed
it
,
crossed
it
,
adorned
it
,
and
deliuered
it
to
the
executioner
:
onely
with
the
same
enforcement
shée
pleaded
,
as
shée
had
spoken
of
in
the
behalfe
of
her
daughter
;
not
to
sée
it
perish
for
lack
of
a
buriall
,
or
deuoured
for
want
of
a
graue
.
In
this
manner
,
and
with
this
report
hée
returned
to
his
lord
,
who
had
still
more
cause
of
amazement
,
and
lesse
reason
to
trouble
such
a
creature
,
had
not
his
wilfulnes
put
him
forward
to
make
an
end
of
his
businesse
,
and
taught
him
still
variety
of
trying
this
gold
in
the
fire
.
But
for
the
time
,
hée
sent
likewise
this
childe
to
his
sister
,
the
Duchesse
of
Bologna
(
yet
some
will
haue
her
but
Countesse
of
Paniche
)
who
,
vnderstanding
her
brothers
minde
,
brought
vp
both
these
children
in
such
a
fashion
,
that
though
no
man
knew
whose
children
they
were
,
yet
they
imagined
whose
they
might
bée
;
that
is
,
the
son
and
daughter
of
some
prince
,
or
other
potentate
,
willing
to
haue
his
children
brought
vp
to
the
best
purpose
,
and
befitting
their
birth
and
honour
.
The
ordering
of
this
businesse
in
this
sort
,
made
the
Marquesse
once
againe
settle
himselfe
in
Saluss
,
where
hée
kept
open
house
to
all
comers
;
and
was
proud
of
nothing
so
much
,
as
the
honour
of
his
wife
,
and
the
loue
of
his
people
:
for
although
he
had
thus
tried
her
patience
and
constancy
,
giuing
her
more
then
sufficient
cause
of
anguish
and
perturbation
,
yet
could
he
not
finde
fault
,
or
had
the
least
demonstration
of
offence
,
but
still
she
loued
him
more
and
more
,
and
was
so
obseruingly
dutifull
,
and
cautelous
of
displeasure
,
that
many
times
he
grew
enamored
of
that
he
might
command
,
and
seemed
passionate
in
the
distractions
of
ouer-ioy
.
Nor
could
the
length
of
time
make
this
loue
wearisome
,
for
all
they
had
liued
thus
a
dosen
yeares
together
:
onely
shee
got
the
hand
of
him
in
the
opinion
of
the
people
,
who
by
this
time
beganne
to
whisper
against
his
vnkindnes
,
that
had
married
so
vertuous
a
woman
,
&
bereaued
her
of
two
children
,
so
that
if
they
were
slaine
,
it
was
a
murther
,
if
otherwise
,
it
was
vnkindnesse
.
For
though
shee
were
poore
Ianicolas
daughter
by
birth
,
yet
she
might
come
from
heauen
for
her
vertue
,
and
was
sure
to
go
thither
for
her
piety
.
Notwithstanding
these
breakings
out
,
which
came
often
to
the
eares
of
his
honour
,
such
was
her
moderation
and
his
gouernment
,
that
they
only
whisperd
the
same
in
her
behalfe
,
and
contented
themselues
with
the
expectation
of
future
good
,
as
they
had
the
fruition
of
present
happinesse
;
not
meddling
with
the
same
further
,
then
in
the
commiseration
of
her
,
and
still
acknowledging
their
duty
to
him
:
so
that
although
hee
knew
shee
might
this
way
vnderstand
his
former
reasons
of
taking
away
her
children
,
that
it
was
but
a
deuice
,
and
that
there
were
some
other
motiues
,
which
procured
this
vnkindnes
:
yet
was
hee
still
obstinate
to
exercise
her
patience
,
and
conceit
beat
out
another
plot
of
offence
on
the
anuill
of
a
louing
,
yet
most
hardned
heart
.
CHAP.

.
The
Marquesse
,
to
try
his
Lady
further
,
made
her
beleeue
hee
would
marry
another
wife
.
SOme
dosen
yéeres
were
passed
,
since
the
Marquesse
of
Saluss
had
sent
his
daughter
to
Bologna
to
his
sister
(
as
you
haue
heard
)
who
was
by
this
time
growne
to
that
beautie
,
comelinesse
and
perfection
,
that
her
fame
busied
all
Europe
;
and
the
lady
Grisel
,
her
Mother
,
was
made
acquainted
with
her
excellency
;
whereupon
,
he
very
strangely
sent
to
Rome
,
by
a
Messenger
of
trust
,
for
counterfait
letters
to
marrie
his
Paragon
,
and
to
bee
dispensed
from
his
first
wife
.
Which
was
so
effectually
dispatched
,
that
the
Messenger
soone
returned
with
the
approbation
of
his
request
,
and
hee
himselfe
had
many
allegations
in
readinesse
to
excuse
the
matter
,
intimating
the
good
of
the
Countrie
,
and
the
continuall
desire
of
his
people
for
the
alteration
;
which
although
it
was
far
from
probability
,
because
they
pitied
their
ladies
distresse
,
and
rather
repined
against
their
lords
vnconstancy
:
yet
it
serued
his
turne
for
the
time
,
and
he
thereupon
erected
the
frame
of
this
second
marriage
.
By
this
time
is
the
faire
Grisel
acquainted
with
the
businesse
,
and
troubled
at
the
misfortune
;
but
hauing
many
times
plaied
the
wanton
with
affliction
,
she
resettled
herselfe
to
endure
whatsoeuer
should
be
imposed
:
so
that
when
she
came
to
the
proofe
indéed
,
nothing
affronted
her
constancy
,
nor
humbled
her
lower
,
then
her
own
vertue
had
taught
her
the
way
.
In
the
meane
while
the
Marquesse
had
vnder
hand
sent
to
the
Count
of
Paniche
,
and
his
sister
,
to
bring
him
his
children
with
all
the
pompe
and
glory
they
could
prepare
;
with
caution
,
not
to
discouer
their
names
and
to
be
at
a
day
appointed
at
Saluss
:
so
that
it
passed
for
currant
all
ouer
the
Country
,
that
a
lady
,
a
yong
,
braue
,
and
gallant
lady
,
of
great
lineage
,
and
greater
worth
,
of
high
renown
and
mighty
affinity
,
was
comming
into
Saluss
to
be
espoused
to
the
Marquesse
,
and
that
they
were
already
come
out
of
Bologna
de
Grace
,
a
whole
dayes
iourney
forward
,
with
such
a
troope
and
company
,
that
it
was
a
shew
of
magnificence
,
and
a
spectacle
of
delight
.
For
amongst
the
rest
,
there
was
a
young
lord
,
not
fully
eight
yéere
old
,
whose
brauery
and
gallantnesse
drew
all
mens
eyes
with
admiration
toward
him
,
had
not
the
lady
diuided
the
gazing
,
and
shared
with
their
opinion
.
For
,
besides
her
riches
and
outward
ornaments
,
her
youth
(
as
not
fully
thirtéene
)
and
vpright
comelinesse
,
her
bewty
and
gracious
behauiour
,
she
was
of
extraordinary
stature
and
maiestike
presence
.
These
things
thus
disposed
and
handsomly
carried
,
the
Marquesse
tooke
an
opportunity
thus
to
speak
to
the
disconsolate
Grisel
before
all
his
people
:
In
times
past
I
confesse
you
deserued
my
loue
,
and
notwithstanding
the
disparity
betwéene
vs
,
I
thought
it
well
bestowed
vpon
you
;
nay
,
I
cannot
now
impute
any
ill
desert
vnto
you
:
notwithstanding
,
for
some
reasons
to
my selfe
best
knowne
,
of
which
I
haue
made
the
holy
Father
acquainted
,
I
am
resolued
to
take
another
wife
;
who
,
as
you
heare
,
is
on
the
way
hitherward
already
:
therefore
I
would
aduise
you
to
retire
to
your
fathers
cotage
,
till
you
heare
further
from
me
.
Alas
my
lord
,
replied
the
swéet
soule
,
I
euer
disputed
the
matter
with
reason
,
that
there
was
no
equality
betwéene
so
great
magnificence
and
my
humiliation
,
and
in
the
greatest
assurance
of
my
prosperity
,
replaced
my selfe
a
vassaile
&
handmaid
;
proud
of
nothing
but
my
owne
readinesse
to
be
at
your
command
,
&
your
willingnes
to
imploy
mee
in
your
affaires
;
so
that
I
take
God
to
my
witnes
,
I
scarce
trusted
my selfe
with
the
name
of
a
wife
,
when
I
was
in
the
best
assurance
.
Therefore
I
must
acknowledge
,
what
you
haue
heeretofore
vouchsafed
,
as
a
part
of
great
bounty
,
and
the
very
fruits
of
your
generousnes
.
As
for
returning
to
my
poore
Fathers
house
,
I
am
most
willing
;
and
there
as
you
please
,
like
a
forlorne
widow
wil
spend
the
rest
of
my
dayes
:
yet
remember
I
was
your
wife
,
espoused
orderly
,
and
you
haue
had
children
by
mee
,
so
that
if
I
there
dye
,
I
must
yet
dye
the
widdow
of
such
a
lord
,
and
for
honors
sake
be
so
reputed
.
As
for
your
new
Spouse
,
God
grant
her
many
daies
of
comfort
,
and
you
many
yeeres
of
ioy
,
that
you
may
liue
in
reciprocall
delight
one
with
another
,
and
intertaine
no
worse
contentment
,
then
poore
Grisel
accustomed
.
As
for
my
Dowry
I
brought
,
I
brought
only
my selfe
,
and
will
haue
no
more
backe
againe
,
which
was
,
faith
,
loue
,
reuerence
,
pouerty
and
virginity
:
For
,
as
I
came
naked
from
my
fathers
house
,
I
am
contented
to
returne
so
againe
.
Your
iewels
are
in
the
wardrobe
,
and
euen
the
ring
you
married
mée
withal
,
in
the
Chambex
:
of
this
I
weare
I
shall
quickly
be
disrobed
,
and
if
there
be
any
further
misery
appointed
,
my
patience
can
endure
it
,
if
your
pleasure
impose
it
;
onely
in
recompence
of
my
Virginitie
,
I
request
a
poore
smocke
to
hide
that
wombe
from
publicke
ouerlooking
,
that
was
once
so
priuate
to
so
great
a
Prince
:
and
because
it
was
the
bed
of
your
Infants
,
let
it
not
bee
the
storne
of
your
people
,
but
giue
mee
leaue
thus
to
goe
out
of
the
Palace
,
that
hereafter
times
may
wonder
,
how
quietly
a
woman
yéelded
to
so
great
a
change
.
Nay
,
let
no
man
shed
a
teare
,
I
must
bée
more
naked
then
so
:
for
though
the
wife
of
a
Marquesse
while
I
liued
,
and
the
widow
when
I
died
,
yet
am
I
not
too
good
for
a
graue
,
but
in
despight
of
pride
must
returne
to
dust
and
ashes
.
Did
I
say
before
,
they
beganne
to
wéep
?
I
can
assure
you
,
when
shée
had
done
,
they
roared
out-right
;
yea
,
the
Marquesse
himselfe
shed
so
many
teares
,
that
he
was
faine
to
retire
;
and
commanded
the
smock
shée
had
begged
to
be
sent
vnto
her
,
that
shée
might
prosecute
the
enterprise
,
and
he
determine
his
businesse
,
as
he
had
constantly
proiected
.
CHAP.
VIII
.
How
the
patient
Grisel
was
disrobed
of
her
apparell
,
and
restored
all
that
she
had
(
except
one
poore
smocke
)
to
the
Marquesse
.
BEfore
I
procéed
any
further
in
this
wonderfull
discouery
,
I
am
sure
two
things
will
bee
obiected
against
mée
:
first
,
the
impossibility
of
the
story
;
secondly
,
the
absurdity
of
the
example
.
〈◊〉
the
story
I
answer
,
that
therefore
it
was
thus
published
and
connected
together
,
for
the
rarity
of
the
businesse
,
and
the
swéetnes
of
the
successe
;
nor
is
it
any
way
stranger
than
many
Roman
passages
,
and
Gretian
discourses
.
For
the
application
,
it
is
both
necessary
and
befitting
:
for
whereas
in
the
condition
of
women
,
amongst
many
other
there
bée
two
especiall
errours
against
the
modesty
of
their
sex
,
and
quietnes
of
their
husbands
,
videlicet
,
superiority
,
and
desire
of
liberty
(
I
name
not
irregular
behauiour
,
houshould
inconueniences
,
and
domesticks
strife
)
this
one
example
(
as
Hercules
did
the
serpents
)
strangles
them
both
in
the
cradle
:
and
though
it
cannot
preuent
,
yet
will
it
exprobrate
the
fault
.
First
concerning
superiority
,
I
hope
the
instances
of
Scripture
are
not
made
Canonicall
to
no
purpose
:
and
out
of
reason
and
naturall
inforcement
,
what
a
filthinesse
is
it
to
a
generous
spirit
,
to
haue
a
woman
so
presumptuous
as
to
take
an
account
of
her
husbands
actions
and
businesse
?
wherein
many
times
they
are
so
peremptory
,
that
I
haue
séene
them
enter
into
the
roome
of
priuacy
,
where
secret
businesses
of
strangers
haue
been
imparted
,
and
were
to
be
discussed
,
nor
hath
this
been
done
with
a
louely
insinuation
,
or
cunning
excuse
of
longing
,
or
willingnes
to
be
instructed
,
or
other
pretty
inducements
to
permission
,
but
with
a
high
commanding
voice
,
and
impudent
assurances
of
their
owne
worth
:
yea
,
I
haue
knowne
them
breake
open
letters
before
they
came
to
their
husbands
ouerlooking
,
and
haue
wondred
euen
at
souldiers
themselues
,
that
would
giue
way
to
such
vndecency
.
Againe
,
to
be
counterchecked
in
this
wilfulnes
,
what
clamours
haue
béene
raised
?
what
tumults
and
discomforts
occasioned
?
that
instead
of
awfull
obedience
and
delightsome
affability
,
they
haue
burst
out
into
outragiousnes
,
commanded
teares
of
mischiefe
,
and
threatned
suspicions
reuenges
:
but
let
them
soile
themselues
in
the
filthinesse
of
this
humour
neuer
so
much
,
I
say
plainely
,
that
though
their
husbands
were
fooles
by
nature
,
yet
is
it
not
befitting
for
a
wife
to
discouer
the
same
,
or
ouer-rule
in
forren
affaires
,
I
meane
matters
which
concerne
them
not
:
for
there
is
no
great
man
so
weake
,
but
hath
councell
and
supportation
of
inferior
Officers
;
nor
mean
man
so
sottish
,
but
hath
friends
or
seruants
in
the
dispatch
of
his
businesse
.
Secondly
,
concerning
the
desire
of
liberty
;
oh
hellish
deuice
of
the
diuell
,
and
fearefull
custome
both
of
France
and
England
!
I
hope
he
that
knowes
the
fashions
of
the
East
,
of
Muscouy
,
Spaine
,
Italy
,
and
the
Mores
,
vnderstands
,
that
no
married
wife
goes
abroad
but
to
honorable
purposes
;
and
it
is
an
introduction
to
death
,
to
salute
any
stranger
,
or
be
séene
in
priuate
conference
.
For
,
in
true
vnderstanding
,
what
businesse
should
any
man
haue
with
my
wife
thrée
houres
together
in
priuate
?
or
why
,
without
my
leaue
,
and
that
vpon
good
grounds
,
should
shee
wander
in
publike
.
I
speake
not
to
ouerthrow
noble
societies
,
generous
intertainment
,
familiar
inuitations
,
curteous
behauiour
,
charitable
welcomes
,
honest
recreations
,
or
peraduenture
,
the
imparting
of
priuate
businesse
:
but
méerly
against
foppish
wantonnesse
,
idle
talke
,
suspicions
méetings
,
damnable
play-hunting
,
disorderly
gaming
,
vnbefitting
exercises
;
and
in
a
word
,
all
such
things
as
tend
to
obscenity
and
wickednes
;
in
which
(
say
what
women
can
)
if
there
be
not
a
moderation
,
by
nature
,
there
must
bee
an
inforcement
by
iudgement
:
and
that
woman
that
will
not
be
ruled
by
good
councell
,
must
be
ouerruled
by
better
example
.
Of
which
,
this
now
in
hand
(
of
lady
Grisel
)
is
a
mirror
,
and
transparent
Crystall
to
manifest
true
vertue
,
and
wifely
duty
indéed
,
and
so
I
come
to
the
wonder
of
her
obedience
.
After
the
Marquesse
was
resolued
to
the
last
Act
of
her
tryall
,
and
had
sent
her
the
smocke
shée
demanded
,
amongst
all
the
Lords
,
Knights
,
Ladies
and
other
company
,
she
presently
disrobed
her selfe
,
and
went
so
accompanied
,
from
the
Palace
,
to
her
fathers
Cottage
,
who
as
you
haue
heard
(
for
diuers
reasons
)
was
only
kept
from
want
,
but
neuer
aduanced
out
of
the
same
.
The
company
could
not
choose
but
wéepe
and
deplore
the
alteration
of
Fortune
:
she
could
not
choose
but
smile
,
that
her
vertue
was
predominant
ouer
passion
:
they
exclaimed
against
the
cruelty
of
her
lord
,
she
disclaimed
the
least
inuentiue
against
him
:
they
wondred
at
so
great
vertue
and
patience
,
she
resolued
them
they
were
exercises
befitting
a
modest
woman
;
they
followed
her
with
true
loue
and
desires
to
doe
her
good
,
shee
thanked
them
with
a
true
heart
,
and
request
to
desist
from
any
further
deploring
of
her
estate
.
By
this
time
they
approched
the
house
,
and
the
poore
old
man
Ianicola
acquainted
with
the
hurliburly
,
came
out
to
sée
what
the
matter
was
.
And
finding
it
was
his
daughter
in
her
smocke
,
and
in
so
honourable
a
company
,
bemoaning
her
distresse
,
she
quickly
left
them
all
vnspoke
vnto
,
and
ran
in
for
those
poore
robes
,
which
were
formerly
left
in
the
house
:
with
which
hee
quickly
arayed
her
,
and
told
her
before
them
all
,
that
now
shée
was
in
her
right
element
;
and
kissing
her
,
bad
her
welcom
.
The
company
was
as
much
astonished
at
his
moderation
,
as
at
her
constancie
,
wondring
how
nature
could
bee
so
restrained
from
passion
,
and
that
any
woman
had
such
grace
to
be
so
gracious
;
in
which
amaze
,
not
without
some
reprehension
of
fortune
,
and
their
Lords
cruelty
,
they
left
her
to
the
pouerty
of
the
Cell
,
and
returnrd
themselues
to
the
glory
of
the
Palace
:
where
they
recounted
to
the
Marquesse
,
the
strangenesse
of
the
businesse
,
and
the
manner
of
the
accidents
,
and
shee
continued
in
her
first
moderation
and
indefatigable
patience
;
the
poore
Father
onely
laughing
to
scorne
the
miseries
and
sodaine
mutabilitie
of
humane
condition
,
and
comforting
his
daughter
in
her
well-begun
courses
of
modesty
and
reposednesse
.
Not
long
after
,
approched
the
Countesse
of
Paniche
,
or
if
you
will
Duchesse
of
Bologna
,
with
her
glorious
company
and
beautifull
lady
,
sending
word
before
hand
,
that
she
would
be
at
Saluss
such
a
day
;
whereupon
the
Marquesse
sent
a
troope
to
welcome
her
,
and
prepared
the
Court
for
her
intertainment
:
the
bruit
of
which
yet
had
not
so
equall
a
passage
,
but
diuers
contrarious
opinions
thus
bandied
themselues
;
some
absolutely
condemned
the
inconstancie
of
the
lord
,
others
deplored
the
misfortune
of
the
lady
;
some
repined
to
sée
a
man
so
cruell
against
so
great
worthinesse
,
others
exemplified
her
praises
to
all
eternitie
;
some
were
transported
with
the
gallant
youth
and
comelinesse
of
this
now
bewtifull
Virgine
,
others
presumed
to
parallel
the
faire
Grisel
,
but
that
shée
had
stepped
a
little
before
her
in
yeeres
:
some
harped
vpon
her
great
Nobilitie
and
high
Lineage
,
others
compared
the
former
wifes
vertue
and
true
wisedome
;
some
excused
their
lord
,
by
the
loue
to
his
Country
,
others
excused
the
lady
,
by
the
nature
of
the
aduersitie
,
vntill
the
approach
of
the
faire
Virgine
and
the
young
Noble
man
in
her
company
,
extinguished
all
former
conceits
,
and
set
them
to
a
new
worke
,
concerning
this
spectacle
,
wherein
the
young
lady
,
and
her
braue
brother
had
such
preeminence
:
nor
knew
the
Earle
of
Paniche
himselfe
or
any
of
the
company
on
either
side
,
that
they
were
his
owne
children
by
Grisel
,
but
meerely
strangers
,
and
designed
for
this
new
mariage
.
So
the
great
Marquesse
made
good
semblance
,
and
with
his
accustomed
courtlinesse
welcommed
them
all
to
the
Palace
.
The
very
next
morning
(
or
,
if
you
will
,
the
day
before
)
he
sent
a
Messenger
for
Grisel
to
come
vnto
him
in
the
very
same
manner
as
shee
was
,
who
protracted
no
time
,
but
presently
attended
her
lord
:
at
her
approach
he
was
somewhat
appalled
:
but
yet
setting
(
as
wee
say
)
the
best
foot
forward
,
hee
thus
procéeded
.
The
lady
(
Grisel
)
with
whom
I
must
marrie
,
will
bee
here
to
morrow
by
this
time
,
and
the
feast
is
prepared
accordingly
;
now
because
there
is
none
so
well
acquainted
with
the
secrets
of
my
Palace
,
and
disposition
of
my selfe
as
you
,
I
would
haue
you
,
for
all
this
base
attire
,
addresse
your
wisedome
to
the
ordering
of
the
businesse
,
appointing
such
officers
as
is
befitting
,
and
disposing
the
roomes
,
according
to
the
degrées
and
estate
of
the
persons
:
let
the
lady
haue
the
priuiledge
of
the
mariage
chamber
,
and
the
young
lord
the
pleasure
of
the
gallery
,
let
the
rest
be
lodged
in
the
Courts
,
and
the
better
sort
vpon
the
sides
of
the
garden
:
let
the
viands
bee
plentifull
,
and
the
ceremonies
maintained
;
let
the
showes
bee
sumptuous
,
and
the
pastimes
as
it
becommeth
:
in
a
word
,
let
nothing
be
wanting
,
which
may
set
forth
my
honour
,
and
delight
the
people
.
My
Lord
,
saith
shée
,
I
euer
tould
you
,
I
took
pleasure
in
nothing
but
your
contentment
,
and
whatsoeuer
might
confort
to
your
delight
,
therein
consisted
my
ioy
and
happinesse
:
therefore
make
no
question
of
my
diligence
and
duty
in
this
,
or
any
other
thing
which
it
shal
please
you
to
impose
vpon
me
:
and
so
like
a
poore
seruant
shée
presently
addressed
herselfe
to
the
businesse
of
the
house
;
performing
ell
things
with
such
a
quicknes
and
grace
,
that
each
one
wondred
at
her
goodnesse
and
faire
demeanour
,
and
many
murmured
to
sée
her
put
to
such
a
triall
.
But
the
day
of
entertainement
is
now
comne
:
and
when
the
faire
lady
approached
,
her
very
presence
had
almost
extinguished
the
impression
of
Grisels
worthinesse
:
for
some
vnconstant
humourists
gaue
way
to
the
alteration
,
not
blaming
the
Marquesse
for
such
a
change
.
But
when
the
strangers
were
made
acquainted
with
the
Fortune
of
Grisel
;
and
saw
her
faire
demeanour
,
they
could
not
but
estéeme
her
a
woman
of
great
vertue
and
honour
;
being
more
amased
at
her
patience
,
then
at
the
mutability
of
mans
condition
;
till
at
last
shée
approached
the
lady
,
and
taking
her
by
the
hand
,
vsed
this
spéech
.
Lady
,
if
it
were
not
his
pleasure
that
may
command
to
bid
you
welcome
,
yet
me
thinks
there
is
a
kinde
of
ouer-ruling
grace
from
nature
in
you
,
that
must
exact
a
respect
vnto
you
.
And
as
for
you
,
yong
lord
,
I
can
say
no
more
,
but
if
I
might
haue
my
desires
satisfied
in
this
world
,
they
should
be
imploied
to
wish
you
well
,
and
to
endeauour
all
things
for
your
entertainement
indéed
.
To
the
rest
I
afford
what
is
befitting
;
desiring
them
,
that
if
any
deficiency
amate
their
expectation
,
they
would
impute
it
either
to
my
ignorance
,
or
negligence
:
for
it
is
the
pleasure
of
him
,
in
whose
will
is
all
my
pleasure
,
that
in
all
sufficiency
you
should
haue
haue
regard
and
suppliment
.
And
so
shée
conducted
them
to
their
seuerall
chambers
,
where
they
reposed
themselues
awhile
,
till
the
time
of
dinner
inuited
them
to
repast
.
When
all
things
were
prepared
,
and
the
solemnity
of
placing
the
guests
finished
,
the
Marquesse
sent
for
Grisel
;
and
rising
on
his
féet
,
took
her
by
the
hand
before
them
all
,
erecting
his
body
,
and
elating
his
vo●●●
in
this
manner
:
You
see
the
lady
is
heere
I
meane
to
marry
:
and
the
company
gloriously
prepared
to
witnes
the
same
:
are
you
therefore
contented
that
I
shall
thus
dispose
of
my selfe
,
and
do
quietly
yéeld
to
the
alteration
?
My
lord
,
replied
she
before
them
all
,
wherein
as
a
woman
I
might
be
faulty
,
I
will
not
now
dispute
:
but
because
I
am
your
wife
,
and
haue
deuoted
my selfe
to
obedience
,
I
am
resolued
to
delight
in
nothing
but
your
pleasure
:
so
that
if
this
match
be
designed
for
your
good
,
and
determined
by
your
appointment
,
I
am
much
satisfied
,
and
more
then
much
contented
.
And
for
you
lady
,
I
wish
you
the
delights
of
your
marriage
,
and
the
honour
of
your
husband
,
many
yeares
of
happinesse
,
and
the
fruits
of
a
chaste
wedlock
:
only
gracious
lord
,
take
héed
of
one
thing
,
that
you
trie
not
this
new
bride
as
you
haue
done
your
ould
wife
:
for
she
is
yong
,
and
peraduenture
of
another
straine
,
and
so
may
want
of
that
patience
and
gouernment
,
which
I
,
poore
I
,
haue
endured
.
Till
this
,
he
held
out
brauely
:
but
nature
ouercomming
resolution
,
and
considering
with
what
strange
variety
his
vnkindnesse
had
passed
,
hee
could
not
answere
a
word
for
teares
,
and
all
the
company
stood
confounded
at
the
matter
,
wondring
what
would
be
the
end
of
the
businesse
,
and
the
successe
of
the
extasie
:
But
to
draw
them
out
of
their
doubts
,
the
next
Chapter
shall
determine
the
controuersie
.
CHAP.
X.
The
Oration
of
the
Marquesse
to
his
wife
,
and
the
discouery
of
her
children
,
to
her
great
ioy
,
and
the
contentment
of
all
the
company
.
AFter
a
little
reducement
of
his
passion
,
and
that
time
,
and
further
meditation
had
disposed
his
senses
to
their
perfect
estate
,
the
Marquesse
graciously
answered
:
Thou
wonder
of
women
,
and
Champion
of
true
vertue
;
I
am
ashamed
of
my
imperfections
,
and
tyred
with
abusing
thee
,
I
haue
tryed
thée
beyond
reason
,
and
thou
hast
forborne
mee
beyond
modesty
:
beleeue
it
therefore
,
I
will
haue
no
wife
but
thy selfe
,
and
when
God
hath
thought
thée
too
good
for
the
earth
,
I
will
(
if
it
be
not
too
much
superstition
)
pray
to
thée
in
heauen
.
Oh
,
't
is
a
pleasure
to
be
acquainted
with
thy
worth
,
and
to
come
néere
thy
goodnes
maketh
a
man
better
then
himselfe
.
For
without
controuersie
,
except
thou
hadst
béene
sent
from
aboue
,
then
couldst
neuer
haue
acted
a
goddesses
part
belowe
:
and
therefore
séeing
I
haue
vsed
thée
so
vnkindly
héertofore
,
I
protest
neuer
to
disquiet
thée
héereafter
:
and
wherein
my
cruelty
extended
against
thée
in
bereauing
thée
of
thy
children
,
my
loue
shall
now
make
amends
in
restoring
thy
daughter
.
For
this
my
new
bride
is
shée
;
and
this
wanton
,
her
brother
:
thank
this
great
lady
(
my
sister
)
for
their
bringing
vp
,
and
this
man
(
you
knowe
him
well
enough
)
for
his
secrecy
.
Bée
not
amased
at
the
matter
,
I
haue
related
a
truth
,
and
will
confirme
it
on
my
honour
:
only
sit
downe
till
the
dinner
is
done
,
and
bid
the
company
welcome
in
this
poore
●●tire
:
for
the
sun
will
break
through
slender
clouds
,
and
vertue
shine
in
base
array
.
I
could
much
dilate
the
matter
,
but
it
is
time
to
end
,
lest
the
circumstances
will
neuer
end
.
This
deuice
of
the
Marquesses
,
of
kissing
her
so
louingly
,
and
setting
her
downe
by
him
so
discréetly
,
did
much
good
.
For
the
company
had
time
to
dispute
of
the
miracle
,
and
the
yong
lady
reason
to
prepare
her
obedience
;
which
,
no
sooner
was
the
dinner
finished
,
but
shée
as
soone
performed
,
nothing
thought
vpon
but
ioy
at
the
matter
,
and
wonder
at
the
accident
:
euery
one
pleased
to
sée
such
a
vnity
of
goodnes
,
and
all
delighted
to
haue
a
businesse
so
well
concluded
.
But
séeing
time
had
vnclasped
a
booke
of
such
iollity
,
there
was
now
no
further
disputing
:
For
the
ladies
flocked
about
her
to
attend
her
into
the
chamber
;
where
the
yong
Princesse
her
daughter
was
as
ready
as
the
best
to
apparell
her
:
so
that
when
shée
came
amongst
them
againe
,
she
shined
like
the
Sun
after
a
tempest
,
and
seemed
more
glorious
,
because
her
continued
modesty
kept
her
from
all
insulting
and
vaine
glorious
brauery
.
Thus
was
the
Marquesse
inuested
as
it
were
with
a
new
blessedness
〈◊〉

continued

and

for

,
as

and

themselues
to
renown
his
estate
,
and
the
People

they
had
such

satisfied
when
the
poore
Ianicola
〈◊〉
aduanced
to
his
Councell
,
and
made
Gouernor
of
his
Palace
;
wherein
hee
behaued
himselfe
so
well
,
that
for
ten
yeares
hee
still
liued
as
he
had
béene
bred
a

;
and
died

of

Grisel
lasted
thirty
yeare●
after
him
:
and
all
went
to
their
graues
in
good
times
the
Country
renowned
ouer
the
world
for
their
admirable
gouernment
,
and
famosed
for
this
extraordinary
wonder
