OF
ALL
THAT
HAPPEned
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
and
the
Princesse
Briana
in
their
way
vnto
the
Grecian
Empire
.
CHAPTER
.
I.
WIth
great
ioy
and
contentment
,
the
Emperour
Trebatio
and
the
Princesse
Briana
trauailed
towardes
the
Grecian
Empire
,
as
well
for
the
fruition
of
hir
contented
ioy
,
as
the
pleasure
and
ease
which
she
hoped
to
haue
,
at
such
time
as
shée
should
come
vnto
the
Empire
.
And
if
it
had
fallen
out
that
their
departure
should
haue
bene
knowen
,
yet
at
their
ease
they
could
not
follow
them
,
for
that
most
of
their
trauaile
was
by
deserts
and
vninhabited
places
,
and
not
by
peopled
townes
&
vilages
:
and
this
was
the
occasion
that
they
could
not
come
so
seene
vnto
Grecia
as
they
might
,
if
they
had
taken
the
frequented
waye
.
And
so
in
great
peace
and
quietnesse
they
trauailed
certaine
daies
without
any
accident
happaning
that
is
worth
the
noting
,
till
such
time
as
they
had
passed
through
the
kingdome
of
Hungaria
,
&
entered
among
certaine
mountaines
which
wer
very
craggie
&
troublesome
to
trauaile
in
,
where
they
chaunced
vpon
the
skirt
of
the
mountaine
Sarpedo
,
which
is
verye
great
,
and
was
inhabited
with
very
furious
and
vnciuile
people
.
This
was
the
cause
which
made
them
to
trauaile
by
the
lowest
part
of
the
mountaine
,
where
they
continued
on
their
iourney
till
the
third
day
,
at
such
tyme
as
the
Sunne
was
in
the
extreamest
of
his
parching
heate
,
which
caused
them
to
haue
an
earnest
and
great
desire
to
drinke
,
for
that
they
were
thyrstie
,
by
reason
that
all
that
daye
,
and
the
other
day
past
,
they
could
finde
no
water
,
nor
any
other
thing
to
drinke
.
And
béecause
the
great
thirst
which
the
Empresse
sustayned
was
more
griefe
vnto
the
Emperour
then
his
owne
,
hée
diligentlye
searched
in
euery
place
where
he
came
,
to
sée
if
hée
could
by
any
meanes
finde
any
Towne
,
Uilage
,
or
Fountayne
,
where
they
myght
haue
water
to
quench
theyr
thirst
.
And
hée
as
trauayled
in
this
care
and
sorrow
,
within
a
whyle
after
hée
discouered
a
certayne
valley
which
entred
in
by
the
one
side
of
the
Mountayne
,
&
in
the
middest
thereof
there
was
as
it
were
a
sluce
which
procéeded
out
of
the
Mountayne
:
and
it
séemed
vnto
him
,
that
it
could
not
hée
without
water
,
for
that
the
ground
about
it
was
very
fresh
and
pleasant
.
And
presentlye
leauing
theyr
way
that
they
then
followed
,
they
tooke
the
next
way
which
lead
them
vnto
the
valley
,
and
with
great
trauaile
they
came
thether
,
in
the
ende
whereof
they
found
sufficient
of
that
whereof
they
had
such
néede
.
For
that
out
of
the
foote
of
a
high
&
mightie
Rocke
,
the
principall
beginning
of
that
mountaine
,
there
was
a
small
valley
lyke
vnto
a
medow
,
being
verie
gréene
and
fresh
,
&
on
the
one
side
it
was
inclosed
with
that
mightie
Rocke
,
and
on
the
other
side
inuironed
with
great
and
thicke
trees
of
all
sortes
,
both
delectable
and
pleasaunt
.
This
valley
was
very
playne
,
and
out
of
the
cliftes
of
that
rocke
,
there
issued
a
sweete
and
a
christalline
fountayne
of
most
excellent
cleare
water
,
which
ran
into
the
middest
of
that
valley
,
whereas
it
made
a
stange
:
béeing
very
pleasaunt
to
beholde
.
Likewise
they
saw
in
that
high
Rocke
,
certayne
steppes
cut
out
of
the
hard
stone
like
vnto
stayres
,
which
assended
vp
vnto
a
dore
which
was
in
the
sayde
Rocke
,
and
it
séemed
to
bée
aboue
fiftéene
●…adome
high
.
And
they
saw
that
by
the
dore
there
was
cut
out
of
the
same
Rocke
,
holes
like
vnto
windowes
,
which
made
them
thinke
there
should
be
some
habitacion
or
dwelling
in
the
same
.
And
for
that
the
place
was
very
delightfull
,
it
dyd
in
a
manner
inuite
them
to
refresh
themselues
.
There
the
Emperour
alighted
from
his
horse
,
and
made
him
fast
vnto
a
Trée
,
and
tooke
the
Empresse
in
his
armes
from
hir
paulfrie
,
the
lyke
dyd
hee
to
all
the
Ladyes
and
Damosells
,
and
they
went
vnto
the
Fountayne
whereas
they
did
satisfie
themselues
of
theyr
desire
,
thinking
all
their
trauaile
well
béestowed
,
to
come
vnto
that
pleasant
and
delightfull
place
.
Then
they
sate
themselues
downe
,
by
the
head
of
that
spring
,
and
did
eate
of
such
meate
as
Clandestria
hadde
brought
with
hir
:
and
this
mighty
Emperour
had
for
his
table
the
lappe
of
the
Empresse
,
which
he
did
more
estéeme
then
all
the
great
abundance
of
siluer
and
gold
and
other
furniture
in
his
royall
and
princely
court
.
Also
they
receiued
wonderfull
great
pleasure
and
contentment
at
the
swéete
and
pittering
noyse
which
the
running
water
made
,
which
by
reason
of
the
swiftnesse
of
his
course
séemed
to
bee
a
Fountayne
of
christall
,
for
the
great
clearenesse
thereof
.
And
when
they
had
eaten
and
well
refreshed
themselues
with
that
which
they
brought
,
the
Emperour
dyd
pull
of
his
healme
,
and
stretched
out
his
body
vppon
the
gréene
grasse
,
and
laide
his
head
on
the
Princesse
lappe
.
And
after
that
hée
hadde
discoursed
with
the
Princesse
many
●…wéet
and
amorous
spéeches
,
hée
fell
a
sléepe
,
wherefore
●…he
Princesse
hadde
great
care
of
him
and
commaunded
●…ell
hir
Gentlewomen
to
kéepe
silence
and
to
make
no
noyse
for
feare
of
waking
of
him
,
and
she
was
well
contented
in
hir
minde
that
they
were
passed
the
Kingdome
of
Hungaria
,
hoping
in
a
short
time
to
enter
into
the
great
Empire
of
Grecia
.
But
all
this
in
comparison
was
nothing
vnto
the
great
loue
&
contented
ioy
that
she
receiued
,
to
sée
that
noble
Emperour
lie
a
long
with
his
head
on
hir
lap
,
and
subiect
vnto
hir
loue
,
very
much
beholding
the
great
seueritie
and
couragious
countenaunce
of
his
faire
face
,
marking
his
mightie
members
,
and
the
good
proportion
of
his
whole
bodie
.
And
as
hee
lay
vpon
the
grasse
,
it
seemed
to
hir
that
inall
the
world
ther
was
not
his
like
to
be
séene
,
he
was
of
so
excellent
a
stature
and
worthy
to
bée
béeloued
aboue
all
other
.
And
for
that
the
Princesse
by
experience
was
fully
perswaded
of
his
noble
prowesse
,
shee
sayd
vnto
hir selfe
,
that
ther
was
not
in
all
the
world
lady
or
gentlewoman
,
that
had
better
chaunce
then
she
,
affirming
that
although
Fortune
in
times
past
did
shew
hir selfe
cruel
,
yet
at
that
time
she
had
recompenced
hir
with
more
honour
and
delight
,
higher
dignitie
and
prosperitie
then
euer
she
possessed
,
or
thought
at
any
time
to
attaine
vnto
.
But
as
it
is
a
thing
both
generall
and
common
,
that
at
such
time
as
a
man
thinketh
himselfe
to
haue
most
felicitie
in
this
mortall
lite
,
he
is
néerest
vnto
perills
,
hauing
sodainlye
all
his
mirth
tourned
into
mourning
,
with
mischéefes
vnlooked
for
:
so
at
this
present
it
happened
,
for
in
the
meane
time
that
the
Emperour
tooke
his
rest
vpon
the
lappe
of
the
fayre
Princesse
,
and
shee
likewise
remayned
in
the
toppe
of
hir
prosperitie
,
all
hir
Gentlewomen
being
at
a
Fountaine
,
washing
their
hands
and
faces
with
that
fayre
and
christaline
water
,
vpon
a
sodaine
and
vnaware
they
heard
a
great
norse
amongst
the
trées
,
and
shrikes
that
séemed
to
be
of
women
that
came
toward
the
place
wheras
they
were
,
with
sorrowfull
weepings
and
lamentecions
.
The
Princesse
and
all
hir
Gentlewomen
béeing
amazed
at
that
sodaine
noise
,
saw
come
forth
from
among
the
trées
towards
the
Fountaine
,
a
mightie
great
and
deformed
Gyant
,
all
armed
,
sauing
the
beauer
of
his
healme
was
vp
,
and
mounted
on
a
mightie
horse
,
hauing
in
his
hand
a
great
boare
speare
,
which
had
a
very
sharp
and
long
blade
of
a
span
broad
,
and
he
had
a
fierce
and
furious
countenance
,
which
caused
great
feare
vnto
all
them
that
did
behold
him
.
After
him
there
followed
ten
men
(
meruailous
vglie
and
ill
fauoured
to
behold
,
and
no
lesse
dreadfull
)
which
wer
on
foote
all
vnarmed
,
with
a
certaine
kind
of
vnvsed
wepons
in
their
hands
,
who
brought
in
the
middest
amongst
them
two
knights
vpon
one
horse
,
with
their
hands
fast
bound
,
and
two
Ladies
vpon
two
palfrayes
,
which
gaue
very
great
and
sorrowfull
shrikes
.
But
when
the
Princesse
saw
that
monstrous
Gyaunt
come
foorth
of
the
thicket
,
shée
gaue
lykewise
a
great
shrike
,
and
quaked
for
feare
,
in
such
sort
that
shée
had
no
more
coulour
in
hir
face
then
a
dead
body
:
at
which
noyse
,
as
well
of
the
Ladyes
and
Gentlewomen
,
as
of
the
Princesse
,
the
Emperour
awaked
out
of
his
sound
sléepe
,
as
one
that
had
béene
greatlye
afrighted
,
and
looking
about
him
hée
saw
that
monstrous
and
vglie
Gyant
with
all
his
internall
company
comming
towardes
them
:
wherefore
with
a
trice
hée
rose
vp
and
laced
on
his
healme
,
and
came
vnto
the
Princesse
,
who
was
as
one
that
had
béene
dead
,
and
sayd
vnto
hir
:
Take
a
good
hart
and
bée
couragious
,
for
it
grieueth
mée
very
much
to
sée
you
in
this
plight
,
for
I
doubt
not
,
(
such
courage
receiue
I
by
your
presence
,
but
principallie
God
asisting
mée
)
to
de●…iuer
you
from
this
monster
.
The
Princesse
was
so
trou●…led
and
in
such
feare
,
that
she
had
not
any
power
to
an●…were
him
one
word
agayne
:
And
at
that
time
she
would
●…aue
giuen
all
the
Grecian
Empire
,
yea
,
the
whole
world
●…f
it
had
béene
hirs
,
to
haue
séene
hir selfe
and
the
Empe●…our
cleere
from
that
monstrous
Gyant
.
At
this
time
the
●…reat
Gyaunt
came
vnto
the
place
whereas
they
were
,
●…nd
greatlie
meruailed
to
see
them
there
,
although
to
the
●…ontrarie
reioycing
,
and
verye
much
delighted
with
the
●…are
and
excellent
beautie
of
the
Princesse
,
with
a
dread●…ull
and
horse
voyce
hee
sayde
.
Oh
my
Gods
,
what
a
rich
pray
is
this
that
you
haue
reserued
for
mée
,
these
fiftéene
yéeres
haue
I
attempted
no
other
thing
but
to
rob
Ladyes
and
Gentlewomen
,
with
no
lesse
per●…ll
then
paynes
,
and
yet
all
this
time
haue
I
not
met
with
one
,
that
so
much
doth
content
mée
as
this
Lady
,
and
in
deliuering
these
words
he
approched
vn to
the
Emperour
,
and
sayde
.
Tell
mee
thou
vnhappy
Knight
by
what
euill
fortune
art
thou
come
hether
vnto
this
place
?
The
Emperour
who
at
that
time
was
very
angry
to
heare
his
diuellish
words
,
and
againe
to
see
the
Princesse
so
changed
,
with
a
stout
courage
and
wrathfull
countenaunce
answered
him
.
Tell
mée
thou
brute
beast
,
wherfore
doest
thou
in
this
manner
extoll
and
prayse
thy selfe
of
so
euill
and
diuellish
a
custome
,
knowing
that
there
is
a
God
in
heauen
that
will
punish
thée
for
these
thy
euill
workes
which
thou
doest
vse
.
The
Gyant
was
excéeding
wrathfull
when
the
Emperour
speake
thus
,
so
that
he
made
no
reckoning
to
answere
him
,
but
giuing
a
terrible
&
hoarse
cry
,
he
threw
that
great
and
big
Boare
Speare
which
hée
brought
,
at
the
Emperour
,
with
so
great
strength
,
&
in
such
sort
,
that
if
it
had
chanced
a
right
with
the
broad
end
and
steely
point
,
I
doubt
whether
his
Magicall
armour
had
béene
sufficient
to
haue
made
resistance
,
but
it
would
haue
pearced
thorough
his
body
:
but
the
Emperour
foreséeing
that
perlilous
blow
,
mith
great
lightnesse
cléered
hmiselfe
from
the
fury
thereof
by
leaping
on
the
one
side
,
so
that
the
Boare
speare
stroke
the
ground
,
and
with
the
great
strength
wehrewith
it
was
throwen
,
it
entered
more
then
halfe
the
length
therof
into
the
earth
.
Which
when
the
valiaunt
and
couragious
Emperour
saw
,
and
finding
himselfe
to
bee
so
nigh
vnto
daunger
,
the
Gyaunt
béeing
on
horsebacke
,
and
considering
the
great
aduantage
which
hee
hadde
,
straight
wayes
layde
holde
vppon
the
bridle
of
the
Horse
,
and
with
his
strong
armed
fist
stroke
the
horse
such
a
vlow
vpon
the
head
,
that
he
made
the
braynes
flye
out
,
&
hée
fell
to
the
ground
master
and
all
.
The
Gyant
seeing
that
,
with
great
hast
cléered
himselfe
from
his
horse
,
&
being
on
soote
,
drew
out
a
mightie
&
broad
faulchon
,
which
hung
at
his
girdle
and
approched
vnto
the
Emperour
,
striking
him
so
great
and
mightye
a
blow
vppon
his
healme
,
that
he
could
not
otherwise
choose
,
but
that
hée
was
constrained
to
stoope
with
both
his
knees
to
the
ground
,
which
did
somewhat
trouble
his
remembraunce
,
but
this
mightie
Emperour
quickly
bée
thought
himselfe
agayne
,
and
tooke
his
sharpe
sword
in
both
his
hands
,
and
stroke
the
Giant
such
a
blow
vpon
his
thigh
,
that
although
his
armour
was
a
finger
thicke
of
hard
Stéele
,
besides
a
skirt
of
maile
which
he
had
hanging
downe
,
neuerthelesse
he
cut
all
a
sunder
,
&
entered
through
the
flesh
vnto
the
hard
bone
,
wher
he
made
a
sore
wound
,
from
whence
great
abundance
of
bloud
ran
out
.
The
Gyant
féeling
himselfe
thus
wounded
,
&
seeing
so
great
resistaunce
to
be
made
with
one
alone
Knight
,
reared
as
though
it
had
béene
a
Lyon
.
At
which
noise
together
with
the
rushing
of
theyr
harneys
,
and
the
sound
of
theyr
mighty
blowes
,
there
appeared
out
of
the
windowes
of
the
Rocke
another
Gyant
,
which
vnto
his
seeming
was
no
lesse
furious
and
vglie
of
semblaunce
then
the
other
,
who
seeing
that
mighty
and
well
foughten
battaile
betwéene
the
Emperour
&
his
brother
,
〈◊〉
as
great
hast
as
was
possible
for
him
,
he
went
and
armed
himselfe
.
In
the
meane
time
the
other
Gyant
and
the
Emperour
made
theyr
battale
with
so
great
and
heauie
blowes
that
the
noyse
thereof
did
sound
throughout
all
those
mountaynes
.
And
the
more
that
this
Gyaunt
did
force
himselfe
to
strike
the
Emperour
,
so
much
the
more
did
the
Emperour
prouide
to
cléere
himselfe
with
great
lightnesse
from
his
terrible
strokes
,
for
that
hée
knew
very
well
it
would
be
very
per●…llous
,
if
hée
should
fasten
on
him
but
one
full
blow
,
neuerthelesse
the
Emperour
at
all
times
did
wounde
him
at
his
pleasure
,
in
such
sort
,
that
what
with
the
strength
of
the
Giaunt
,
and
the
great
pollicie
and
lightnesse
of
the
Emperour
the
battayle
was
brought
into
great
doubt
,
although
the
Gyaunt
had
lost
very
much
bloud
by
these
woundes
which
the
Emperour
had
giuen
him
.
For
when
hée
saw
his
bloud
in
such
sort
scattered
vpon
the
ground
,
hee
was
more
furious
then
beefore
,
and
with
great
wrath
hée
béesturred
himselfe
with
his
Fauchon
,
cursing
himselfe
and
blaspheming
against
his
Gods
,
in
that
hée
could
not
in
any
wise
fasten
one
full
blow
vpon
his
enimie
,
and
that
one
Knight
should
bring
him
into
so
great
a
perplexitie
.
All
this
while
the
Empresse
and
hir
Gentlewomen
did
very
well
behold
that
wonderfull
battayle
,
&
had
great
feare
to
sée
the
hugenesse
of
the
Gyant
,
and
perill
in
which
the
Emperour
was
,
and
so
amazed
,
they
were
that
they
could
not
mooue
themselues
out
of
the
place
whereas
they
abode
,
but
euery
one
of
them
on
their
knées
very
earnestly
prayed
vnto
God
with
many
teares
,
to
deliuer
them
from
that
great
agonie
wherein
they
were
.
And
being
in
this
agonie
,
they
heard
within
the
Rocke
●…
great
noyse
&
rushing
of
armour
,
wherewith
they
looked
about
,
&
saw
descending
downe
the
stayres
another
Giant
,
all
armed
,
of
no
lesse
bignesse
&
dreadfull
countenance
then
the
other
,
who
came
downe
in
great
hast
,
with
a
mightie
ma●…e
of
Stéele
in
his
hand
.
When
the
Princesse
and
hir
Gentlewomen
saw
him
,
they
were
more
afraid
then
at
the
first
,
&
yéelded
themselues
vnto
destruction
,
&
therwith
gaue
meruaylous
&
grieuous
shrikes
&
cries
,
which
was
the
cause
that
the
Emperour
was
in
a
great
feare
of
some
misfortune
,
and
looking
about
him
to
sée
what
it
might
be
,
he
perceiued
another
monstrous
Gyaunt
that
discended
downe
his
stayres
with
his
mase
in
his
hand
:
&
although
hée
did
sée
the
great
danger
and
perill
at
hand
,
yet
did
not
his
hart
faile
him
one
●…ot
,
but
with
a
noble
and
stout
stomacke
his
strength
the
more
increased
,
so
that
forgetting
all
the
tra●…ayle
against
that
Gyant
,
with
new
strength
hee
str●…k
the
Gyaunt
with
both
his
hands
such
a
blow
ouerthwart
the
wast
,
that
the
thicke
armour
and
skirt
of
maile
had
not
sufficient
strength
to
make
defence
against
his
mightie
and
strong
arme
,
but
that
the
sharp
cutting
sword
must
needes
execute
his
fury
,
which
diuiding
both
armour
and
bones
,
entered
into
the
bowells
,
wherewith
the
Gyant
with
grieuous
pangs
of
death
straight
waies
●…ell
downe
to
the
ground
,
and
with
his
fall
made
all
the
earth
to
▪
shake
.
At
which
time
the
other
Gyaunt
was
come
downe
the
stayres
,
and
seeing
that
terrible
and
cruell
stroke
,
hee
lyft
vp
his
eyes
to
heauen
,
and
with
à
loude
voyce
hée
saide
.
Oh
cruell
and
cursed
Gods
in
whome
I
béeléeue
and
worship
,
which
of
all
you
is
it
that
hath
consented
vnto
the
death
of
my
brother
Argentaria
?
in
what
sort
or
how
shall
I
bee
reuenged
of
so
great
an
outrage
done
vnto
mee
,
you
béeing
aboue
in
the
heauens
,
and
I
héere
vpon
the
earth
.
And
in
saying
these
and
such
lyke
wordes
hee
came
towards
the
Emperour
,
with
his
mightie
mase
raysed
in
the
ayre
,
in
such
forme
,
that
it
was
most
dreadfull
to
béeholde
:
but
this
valyaunt
Greeke
whose
strength
was
nothing
inferiour
vnto
his
predecessors
,
the
mightie
Achilles
,
Pyrrhus
,
and
Molosso
,
for
when
hée
saw
the
Gyaunt
comming
towards
him
in
that
terrible
sort
,
and
so
fiercely
,
in
great
hast
hée
went
whereas
the
Boare
Speare
stuck
,
and
with
excéeding
strength
hée
pulled
it
out
of
the
ground
,
and
tooke
it
fast
in
his
hand
about
the
middest
of
the
staffe
,
and
therwith
hée
stayed
and
abode
the
comming
of
the
Gyaunt
,
who
as
soone
as
hée
was
come
within
eyght
or
nine
paces
of
him
euen
as
one
would
throw
a
dart
at
a
●…aighted
Bull
,
so
dyd
this
mightie
Emperour
lyft
vp
his
rygorous
arme
,
and
with
great
strength
threw
that
Boare
Speare
at
the
Gyaunt
,
and
stroke
him
in
the
middest
of
the
breast
with
so
great
strength
,
that
passing
through
armour
and
flesh
,
the
broad
and
Stéely
poynt
of
the
Boare
Speare
appéered
at
his
back
all
bloody
.
And
the
staffe
thereof
,
by
reason
of
the
great
streangth
wherewith
it
was
throwen
,
dyd
shake
in
the
Gyants
body
till
such
time
as
hée
fell
downe
dead
to
the
ground
.
The
force
of
this
strong
and
mightie
blow
gaue
great
contentment
vnto
the
Princesse
and
hir
Gentlewomen
,
and
also
on
the
other
side
those
men
that
came
with
the
Gyant
were
no
les
amazed
when
they
saw
their
Lords
dead
,
whom
they
thought
to
bee
the
mightiest
and
strongest
in
all
the
world
,
and
although
they
were
many
in
number
,
yet
had
they
no
courage
to
withstand
the
fury
of
the
Emperour
,
and
despayring
in
themselues
,
of
theyr
securitie
,
they
all
left
their
prisoners
,
and
euerie
one
of
them
procured
to
saue
himselfe
by
running
away
and
hiding
them
in
the
thickest
of
that
Mountayne
.
Then
the
Emperour
séeing
that
there
was
no
more
to
bée
done
,
but
that
all
was
finished
with
that
blow
,
hée
reioyced
very
much
,
and
went
vnto
the
Princesse
whereas
shee
stoode
(
who
had
lost
the
Roseall
coulour
of
hir
face
)
and
with
a
gladde
and
chéerefull
countenaunce
hée
sayde
vnto
hir
thus
.
Lady
,
now
assure
your selfe
that
these
people
shall
no
more
trouble
you
.
Then
the
Princesse
who
was
almost
in
an
extasie
with
the
great
pleasure
shée
receiued
,
when
shée
saw
the
Emperour
returne
vnto
hir
without
any
wound
or
hurt
,
and
the
wonderfull
strength
that
shée
saw
in
him
,
with
great
pleasure
and
delyght
shée
saw
in
him
in
hir
armes
and
sayd
.
My
Lord
I
haue
great
cause
to
confesse
this
my
security
,
hauing
so
strong
and
mightie
a
Knight
in
my
companie
,
but
for
all
that
my
heart
could
not
but
receiue
great
feare
to
sée
you
in
such
daunger
,
with
those
terrible
and
vglie
Monsters
,
and
I
assure
you
that
many
dayes
will
passe
beefore
I
shall
bée
able
to
cl●…re
my selfe
of
the
great
feare
which
by
them
I
haue
conceiued
:
so
that
these
and
many
other
lyke
amorous
words
passed
béetwixt
the
Emperour
and
the
Princesse
.
Then
the
Emperour
remembred
himselfe
of
the
prisoners
that
they
brought
with
them
,
and
left
the
Princesse
,
and
went
towardes
them
,
and
dyd
vnloose
them
of
the
bondes
wherewith
they
were
fast
bound
,
and
saw
that
the
two
Ladyes
were
very
fayre
and
meruailous
richlie
apparayled
,
and
the
two
Knights
very
well
armed
,
and
of
a
good
proportion
,
although
theyr
armour
in
many
places
was
broken
and
cut
,
and
they
themselues
sore
wounded
,
whereby
issued
from
them
very
much
blood
.
These
Knights
and
Ladyes
dyd
béehold
all
that
passed
,
and
saw
with
what
valoure
the
Emperour
dyd
deale
with
those
Gyaunts
,
and
were
greatly
astonyed
,
meruayling
who
it
should
bée
,
that
beeing
but
one
alone
Knight
,
hée
should
by
his
great
myght
and
force
ouercome
two
so
mightie
Gyaunts
as
those
were
,
and
in
so
short
time
as
that
.
And
séeing
themselues
set
at
libertie
by
the
noble
and
valyaunt
prowesse
of
this
Knight
,
they
knew
not
how
to
gratifie
that
great
benefit
which
they
had
receiued
of
him
,
but
onely
in
gieuing
him
ceaselesse
thanckes
for
the
same
.
The
Emperour
commaunded
the
Ladyes
to
bynde
vp
the
wounds
of
the
two
Knights
,
that
they
myght
loose
no
more
blood
:
who
dyd
it
with
a
very
good
will
,
for
that
they
were
theyr
Husbands
.
And
the
Emperour
asked
of
then
who
they
were
,
and
what
was
the
occasion
that
the
Gyaunt
brought
them
prisoners
in
that
sort
.
Then
one
of
the
Knights
sayd
vnto
him
.
Sir
,
you
shall
vnderstand
that
this
Knight
which
you
sée
héere
and
I
are
bretherin
,
and
Lords
ouer
the
seauen
valleyes
:
if
at
any
time
you
haue
heard
speaking
of
them
.
And
they
are
scituated
béetwixt
Danubia
and
Transiluania
,
and
are
vnder
the
subiection
of
the
mightie
King
of
Hungarie
,
and
these
Gentlewomen
which
are
with
vs
are
our
wyues
,
and
are
lykewyse
two
sisters
.
And
as
wee
were
for
our
recreation
passing
away
the
tyme
with
pleasure
and
delyght
in
the
company
of
many
Knights
and
Gentlewomen
:
in
one
of
the
sayd
valleys
high
adioyning
vnto
this
Mountayne
Sarpedo
,
béeing
in
the
shadow
vnder
a
Forrest
side
,
hauing
least
care
vpon
any
daunger
or
trouble
,
vpon
a
sodaine
wee
were
beeset
with
this
Gyant
(
that
you
first
slew
)
and
with
his
men
,
we
defended
our selues
against
them
as
well
as
wée
could
,
but
in
the
ende
hée
slew
the
most
part
of
the
Knights
that
were
in
our
company
,
and
the
rest
fled
,
so
that
wée
remayned
all
alone
,
and
not
beeing
able
to
make
any
longer
resistaunce
against
him
,
hée
tooke
vs
ioyntly
with
these
two
Gentlewomen
,
and
brought
vs
in
this
sort
as
you
haue
séen
.
And
this
is
not
the
first
robberie
that
these
Gyaunts
haue
committed
.
For
that
of
long
time
they
haue
done
great
harme
throughout
all
the
Prouinces
that
are
adioyning
vnto
this
Mountayne
.
And
as
I
haue
heard
reported
of
them
,
the
meate
which
doth
most
content
them
is
humane
flesh
,
which
doth
make
vs
to
béeléeue
verely
,
that
if
your
soueraigne
bountie
,
had
not
succoured
vs
in
this
great
extremitie
,
in
a
short
space
wée
had
béene
eaten
vp
by
these
two
Gyants
and
his
people
,
and
they
vse
most
commonly
to
haue
their
habitation
and
dwelling
in
this
Rocke
which
you
sée
héere
,
for
when
they
are
within
it
,
if
all
the
world
should
come
against
them
,
they
are
able
to
make
a
long
resistance
.
And
the
Knight
concluding
with
these
words
,
the
Emperour
was
very
glad
and
ioyfull
that
hée
had
rescewed
and
●…t
them
at
libertie
from
so
great
a
danger
,
for
they
séemed
〈◊〉
him
to
be
persons
of
no
small
estimation
giuing
great
〈◊〉
to
almightie
God
,
for
that
hée
had
taken
away
the
〈◊〉
of
so
great
an
euill
from
that
land
.
And
therewith
they
went
all
together
vnto
the
Prince●…
,
who
receiued
them
very
cur●…eously
.
And
straight
wayes
,
shée
was
knowen
by
the
Knights
,
for
that
many
times
before
they
had
séene
hir
:
where
at
béeing
very
much
amazed
,
they
looked
one
vpon
the
other
not
knowing
what
to
say
.
When
the
Emperour
perceiued
that
those
Knights
dyd
know
the
Princesse
,
in
bréefe
wordes
bee
gaue
them
to
vnderstand
how
hée
was
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
and
how
the
Princesse
was
his
wife
,
and
that
they
were
going
towards
the
Grecian
Empire
,
and
came
vnto
that
place
to
séeke
water
.
for
the
great
necessitie
they
had
thereof
,
and
there
the
Emperour
requested
them
that
at
theyr
retourne
into
theyr
Countrie
,
they
would
go
vnto
the
Court
of
King
Tiberio
and
kisse
his
handes
in
his
beehalfe
,
and
declare
vnto
him
how
and
in
what
sort
they
found
him
at
the
Rock
.
When
these
Knights
vnderstood
the
whole
matter
by
the
Emperour
,
they
could
not
satisfie
them
in
musing
at
so
soddayne
and
straunge
a
méeting
.
And
falling
on
theyr
knees
beefore
the
Emperour
and
the
Princesse
,
they
required
theyr
hands
to
kisse
them
,
but
they
with
great
ioye
and
pleasure
dyd
make
them
arise
from
the
ground
,
and
after
that
beetweene
them
there
had
passed
many
delightfull
words
of
conference
,
the
Emperour
sayd
that
hée
would
go
sée
what
was
within
the
Rock
,
and
so
hée
ascended
vp
the
stayers
tyll
hée
came
to
the
doore
,
which
hée
found
shut
in
such
sort
,
that
by
no
meanes
hee
could
get
in
,
neyther
would
they
open
the
doore
for
all
his
great
knocking
.
And
as
they
might
perceiue
,
those
that
remayned
within
that
Rock
were
household
seruaunts
,
and
two
sonnes
of
those
Gyaunts
,
béeing
about
the
age
of
tenne
yéeres
,
whom
they
saw
at
the
windowes
béeholding
all
that
had
passed
,
and
they
shut
the
doore
very
fast
,
and
durst
not
open
it
,
for
that
they
thought
verily
that
Knight
would
destroy
them
all
,
in
so
much
that
the
Emperour
was
constrayned
to
retourne
back
agayne
.
After
a
while
that
the
Emperour
and
all
the
rest
of
the
companie
had
eased
and
refreshed
themselues
by
the
Fountaine
,
hée
and
the
Princesse
determined
to
depart
,
and
the
Knights
with
their
wiues
would
haue
borne
him
company
,
and
dyd
desire
very
earnestly
the
Emperour
to
suffer
them
so
to
doe
,
yet
hée
wold
not
consent
thereto
,
but
desired
them
to
returne
vnto
theyr
owne
Countrie
,
and
to
let
them
so
alone
as
they
were
,
for
that
he
had
greater
pleasure
to
trauaile
in
that
sort
,
then
with
any
more
company
.
When
these
Knights
vnderstood
his
determination
,
they
would
not
stand
in
contention
with
him
,
nor
importune
him
any
farther
,
but
taking
theyr
leaue
of
the
Princesse
,
they
and
theyr
wyues
dyd
retourne
vnto
theyr
owne
countrie
,
hauing
inough
for
all
their
lyfe
tyme
to
declare
that
which
they
saw
of
the
worthie
Emperour
Trebatio
,
and
of
his
high
bountie
,
béeléeuing
that
in
all
the
world
there
was
not
a
Knight
like
vnto
him
.
And
when
they
came
into
theyr
Countrie
,
they

How
the

and
the
Princesse

Empire
of
Grecia
.
Chap.
3.
WHen
the
comming
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
and
the
Princesse
Briana
into
Grecia
,
was
knowen
vnto
the
Prince
of
that
Prouince
,
who
was
a
yong
Knight
and
one
of
his
subiects
,
hée
was
very
much
amazed
,
and
lykewyse
all
his
Subiects
,
for
that
they
thought
verily
that
many
yéeres
past
hée
had
béene
dead
,
and
there
was
no
other
reckoning
made
of
him
,
neyther
would
they
béeléeue
his
comming
to
bee
true
,
till
such
time
as
euerie
one
of
them
dyd
sée
him
with
their
owne
eyes
.
And
béeing
certefied
thereof
,
they
dyd
receiue
him
with
such
maiestie
as
the
Emperour
dyd
remaine
,
and
would
not
procéede
any
farther
,
but
first
wholy
and
perfectly
informed
himselfe
of
the
estate
of
all
things
with-in
the
Empire
.
And
there
was
giuen
him
to
vnderstand
how
that
the
King
of
Bohemia
had
béene
and
was
gouernour
of
all
the
whole
Empire
,
and
how
that
hée
had
ruled
and
gouerned
it
with
great
discretion
and
iustice
.
And
how
that
all
people
generally
were
very
wel
content
with
his
gouernement
,
at
the
which
the
Emperour
receiued
great
pleasure
,
and
sent
vnto
him
giuing
him
to
vnderstand
of
his
comming
,
with
the
Princesse
Briana
,
certifying
him
by
a
briefe
letter
of
all
that
hée
had
passed
,
and
willed
him
to
méete
him
at
Constantinople
.
When
the
King
and
all
the
nobles
of
the
Empire
,
who
at
this
present
were
in
Constantinople
,
heard
these
newes
,
I
am
not
héere
able
to
expresse
the
great
admiration
that
they
had
,
and
the
excéeding
ioye
that
they
in
theyr
hearts
conceiued
for
that
sodaine
newes
,
in
such
sort
that
if
each
of
them
had
receiued
his
owne
Brother
,
they
could
haue
possessed
no
more
pleasure
,
hée
was
so
well
beeloued
.
So
in
a
short
space
these
newes
was
published
throughout
all
Constantinople
,
and
was
a
meruailous
thing
to
beehold
the
great
pleasure
and
sports
that
,
were
in
the
Cittie
,
and
generally
amongst
all
the
people
.
Then
the
King
of
Bohemia
,
with
all
those
noble
Princes
and
Lords
dyd
ioyne
themselues
together
,
and
departed
toward
Dardania
,
whereas
they
receiued
the
Emperour
and
the
Princesse
Briana
,
and
conducted
them
vnto
the
great
Cittie
of
Constantinople
,
with
such
maiestie
and
pomp
,
that
neuer
Prince
nor
Romane
Emperour
was
so
receiued
into
his
countrie
.
And
when
they
were
come
vnto
Constantinople
,
that
faire
and
royall
Princesse
Briana
was
crowned
Empresse
of
Grecia
,
at
which
coronation
was
made
the
greatest
Feasts
and
Triumphes
,
with
such
pompeous
solempnity
as
neuer
was
in
all
the
world
beefore
that
time
.
To
which
Triumph
and
Feasts
,
there
dyd
not
onely
come
all
the
Princes
,
noble
men
,
and
valyant
Knights
naturall
of
the
Empire
,
but
also
of
all
the
Kingdomes
and
Prouinces
which
were
nigh
adioyning
,
vnto
whom
the
newes
came
of
the
ariual
of
the
great
Emperour
Trebatio
.
And
for
that
the
excellent
and
mighty
déedes
which
the
worthy
Knight
of
the
Sunne
did
in
the
Castell
of
Lindaraza
,
should
bée
manifest
vnto
all
people
,
and
that
the
memory
thereof
should
not
bée
forgotten
,
the
Emperour
commaunded
to
call
together
all
the
best
Painters
that
were
in
Grecia
,
and
commaunded
them
to
paynt
vpon
the
fore
front
of
his
Pallaice
,
which
was
next
adioyning
vnto
the
great
Court
,
in
singular
perfection
,
&
naturall
sort
,
all
the
whole
Iland
,
the
Castle
,
the
gates
,
and
the
terrible
and
wonderfull
kéepers
and
gards
,
with
the
mightie
and
perilous
battayle
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
had
with
them
,
and
of
all
the
rest
that
happened
for
to
cléere
him
of
that
inchantment
,
as
hath
bane
told
you
in
this
Historie
past
.
And
when
it
,
was
concluded
and
set
foorth
in
coulours
,
it
was
a
thing
very
straunge
to
béeholde
,
and
of
great
admiration
to
all
people
that
dyd
looke
thereon
,
insomuch
that
they
could
not
béeléeue
,
that
any
humane
man
was
able
to
dooe
so
great
déedes
of
armes
as
was
done
by
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
.
And
all
people
had
great
desire
to
sée
him
,
although
the
Emperour
had
much
more
desire
,
with
no
lesse
loue
and
good
will
,
then
if
hée
had
knowen
him
to
bée
his
naturall
Sonne
.
And
for
that
this
great
triumph
shall
bée
more
spoken
of
in
this
Historie
,
at
this
present
it
doth
leaue
them
tyll
theyr
time
,
and
retourneth
to
tell
you
of
all
that
passed
in
the
Court
of
King
Tiberio
,
when
hée
knew
of
the
departure
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
and
of
the
Princesse
Briana
.
How
the
departure
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
and
the
Princesse
Briana
,
was
knowen
in
the
Court
of
King
Tiberio
,
and
what
passed
about
the
same
.
Chap.
3.
THe
Historie
sayth
,
for
that
the
Gentlewomen
of
the
Princesse
Briana
were
fully
certified
that
theyr
mistres
kept
hir
Nouena
in
hir
chamber
as
shée
was
wont
to
〈◊〉
▪
and
as
I
beefore
tould
you
,
they
neuer
ha●…
any
occasion
to
mistrust
hir
departure
,
fo●…
that
at
any
time
beefore
they
neuer
could
perceiue
the
lea●…
presumption
thereof
,
till
such
time
as
the
nyne
dayes
were
past
,
and
the
tenth
day
come
,
&
séeing
not
the
chamber
dore
of
the
Princesse
open
they
were
all
in
a
confusion
,
not
knowing
what
it
should
meane
.
So
in
this
doubt
they
remayned
vntill
the
eleuenth
day
,
at
which
time
not
séeing
the
chamber
dore
opened
,
they
determined
to
goe
thether
,
and
began
to
call
&
knocke
at
the
dore
,
but
ther
was
none
that
answered
them
,
whereat
béeing
more
amazed
,
they
knocked
hard
,
and
stroke
mightie
and
great
blowes
at
the
dore
,
neuerthelesse
there
was
none
that
aunswered
them
,
although
they
were
there
a
great
whyle
knocking
:
and
being
much
amazed
thereat
,
they
straight
way
gaue
the
Quéene
of
Augusta
to
vnderstand
thereof
,
who
was
in
the
Citie
of
Buda
,
&
béeing
very
much
amazed
at
that
sodayne
newes
,
she
called
certayne
of
hir
Knights
&
Gentlewomen
,
and
in
their
company
departed
to
the
monestary
.
And
when
she
came
vnto
the
chamber
dore
of
the
Princesse
,
&
found
none
to
answere
hir
,
for
all
their
great
knocking
,
shee
strayght
waies
commaunded
hir
Knights
to
breake
open
the
dore
,
and
hatchets
and
other
things
being
brought
for
the
purpose
,
they
broke
open
the
dore
,
which
done
the
Quéene
with
hir
Knights
and
Gentlewomen
entered
the
chamber
,
and
not
finding
the
Princesse
nor
any
other
person
therein
,
were
very
sore
troubled
&
amazed
,
she
sat
hir selfe
downe
vpon
the
floore
,
and
knew
neither
what
to
say
or
doe
,
but
onely
to
lament
and
to
make
great
sorrow
.
And
as
they
were
in
this
confusion
they
found
the
Letter
that
was
written
lying
vppon
the
Table
,
and
directed
either
to
the
King
Tiberio
,
or
vnto
the
Quéene
,
the
which
Letter
they
gaue
strayght
waye
vnto
the
Quéene
Augusta
,
who
with
great
anguish
did
open
the
same
,
and
saw
thereon
written
all
the
whole
Hostorye
of
the
mightie
Emperour
Trebatio
and
the
Princesse
Briana
,
with
the
true
relation
thereof
,
till
such
time
as
they
departed
,
and
in
the
end
of
the
Letter
they
craued
pardon
for
that
they
went
away
in
such
sort
as
they
had
done
,
without
giuing
them
to
vnderstande
thereof
,
alleadging
the
reason
to
bée
for
the
death
of
the
Prince
Edward
,
for
that
the
King
Oliuerio
,
father
vnto
the
Prince
,
should
not
with
any
reason
haue
cause
to
quarrell
with
the
King
Tiberio
,
neyther
account
him
as
pertaker
in
the
death
of
the
Prince
.
So
when
the
Quéene
vnderstoode
the
effect
of
the
Letter
,
shée
remayned
all
astonied
and
amazed
,
not
knowing
whether
she
might
giue
credit
vnto
so
strange
a
thing
as
this
was
,
although
to
the
contrary
shée
receyued
exceeding
great
ioy
and
pleasure
,
for
the
good
fortune
of
the
Princesse
hir
Daughter
,
that
in
all
hir
life
she
felt
not
in
hir selfe
so
much
pleasure
,
&
gaue
great
thanks
vnto
God
for
his
excéeding
benefit
which
hée
had
done
vnto
hir
.
At
that
time
the
King
Tiberio
was
in
the
Citie
of
Ratisbona
,
and
the
Quéene
Augusta
strayght
wayes
sent
messengers
,
such
as
shée
thought
could
well
declare
all
that
had
happened
,
and
by
them
she
sent
the
Letter
that
the
Emperour
had
left
written
behinde
him
in
the
chamber
of
the
Princesse
,
and
the
Quéene
remained
with
hir
owne
Gentlewomen
,
and
with
the
Gentlewomen
of
the
Princesse
in
the
monestary
of
the
Riuer
:
for
that
it
was
a
place
of
great
quietnesse
&
pleasure
,
and
sent
all
hir
Knights
and
the
rest
of
hir
seruantes
vnto
the
Citie
,
remayning
onely
with
a
fewe
Knights
for
hir
gard
,
&
other
seruantes
,
such
as
were
néedefull
for
hir
seruice
.
The
messengers
which
went
with
the
Embassage
vnto
the
King
Tiberio
,
came
vnto
the
Court
before
him
,
at
such
time
as
the
King
was
accompanied
with
all
his
high
Princes
and
Knights
,
amongest
whome
there
was
that
excellent
and
worthie
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
carrying
to
heare
when
the
departure
of
the
Emperour
and
the
Princesse
should
bée
declared
in
the
Court.
And
when
the
messengers
came
beefore
they
King
the
strayght
wayes
declared
vnto
him
theyr
Embassage
,
and
gaue
him
the
Emperours
Letter
,
which
at
his
commaundement
was
read
openlye
in
the
hearing
of
all
the
Court.
And
when
they
vnderstoode
all
that
this
History
hath
told
you
,
the
great
admiration
that
all
people
receyued
,
was
wonderfull
:
&
when
the
King
heard
the
contentes
thereof
,
hée
remayned
a
great
while
as
one
being
in
a
maze
,
and
speake
neuer
a
word
.
At
last
calling
to
his
remembraunce
the
mightinesse
of
the
Emperour
,
the
great
maiesty
of
his
estate
,
the
worthinesse
of
his
person
,
&
the
excellencie
of
his
royall
descent
,
hée
thought
within
himself
that
God
had
done
much
for
him
,
in
giuing
him
so
worthy
&
mightie
a
sonne
in
law
,
and
that
his
Daughter
was
the
most
happiest
Princesse
then
liuing
in
the
world
,
that
in
the
end
of
all
hir
sorrow
shée
had
found
so
noble
&
excellent
a
husband
.
All
this
and
many
other
things
did
greatly
delight
his
hart
,
but
considering
how
much
he
was
in
charge
for
the
Prince
of
great
Britayne
,
hée
did
not
make
any
outward
shew
of
his
inward
contentment
,
but
demeaned
himselfe
as
one
〈◊〉
in
thought
,
and
very
much
troubled
.
And
after
that
he
had
a
great
while
remayned
in
that
traunce
,
without
speaking
anye
thing
,
hée
sodainly
arose
vp
from
the
place
whereas
hée
sate
,
and
leauing
all
his
Knights
and
Noble
men
in
the
great
hall
,
hée
intered
into
his
closet
,
and
béeing
there
alone
,
hee
béeganne
again
to
call
to
his
remembraunce
the
noble
and
mighty
déedes
of
the
worthy
Emperour
Trebatio
,
and
the
more
ioy
and
pleasure
he
séemed
to
receiue
,
giuing
great
thankes
vnto
God
for
that
all
thinges
by
the
working
of
his
mightie
hand
were
brought
to
so
good
and
ioyfull
an
ende
.
And
thus
all
thinges
well
considered
,
hée
determined
to
make
an
outward
shew
of
great
anger
agaynst
the
Emperour
,
till
such
time
as
he
might
vnderstand
how
the
King
Oliuerio
did
take
the
matter
,
at
such
●…ime
as
hée
should
heare
newes
thereof
.
Likewise
at
that
time
came
to
his
remembrance
the
mighty
déedes
that
the
Emperour
declared
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
musing
with
himselfe
who
that
Knight
should
be
that
was
of
so
great
strength
and
power
,
and
was
very
gladde
and
ioyfull
that
he
had
bin
in
his
Court.
And
at
this
time
all
the
nobles
and
Knights
which
remayned
in
the
hall
did
talk
one
with
another
,
and
very
much
meruayled
at
the
mighty
deedes
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
all
people
did
béehold
him
giuing
him
great
prayse
,
and
extol●…ing
him
vnto
the
heauens
,
in
such
sort
that
he
was
ashamed
to
heare
himself
so
praysed
:
But
as
it
is
a
thing
most
common
,
that
against
prosperitie
of
the
vertuous
there
doth
not
lacke
malicious
and
enuions
persons
,
who
neuer
resteth
to
procure
the
execution
of
their
venimous
stomackes
,
it
so
fell
out
amongest
the
Knights
that
were
there
present
,
there
was
Florinaldus
,
hée
which
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
did
ouerthrow
at
the
bridge
before
Albamira
,
who
for
that
he
was
a
stout
and
gallaunt
Knight
,
receyued
great
griefe
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
should
ouerthrow
him
,
and
especially
beefore
his
Lady
and
mistresse
,
and
therefore
hée
was
very
destrous
to
séeke
to
haue
opportunitie
wherein
he
might
bée
reuenged
,
&
make
satisfaction
of
the
shame
and
rebuke
which
he
had
receyued
by
him
,
many
of
those
nobles
and
Knights
that
were
present
were
his
parents
and
kinsfolke
.
And
I
know
not
whether
it
was
with
the
great
hope
hée
hadde
in
his
owne
strength
,
or
in
the
confidence
of
his
kinsfolkes
and
friends
,
which
were
verye
many
,
hée
determined
with
himselfe
to
séeke
some
occasion
of
contention
with
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
.
Now
at
such
time
as
these
Knights
were
praysing
him
,
and
giuing
him
his
deserued
commendation
,
for
the
good
hée
had
done
vnto
the
Emperour
,
Florinaldus
replyed
vnto
them
,
and
with
a
loude
voyce
,
that
he
might
be
heard
of
all
that
were
there
present
,
hée
sayde
.
The
Knight
of
the
Sunne
cannot
in
any
wise
excuse
himselfe
of
a
great
offence
,
in
that
he
did
not
aduertise
my
Lord
,
the
King
Tiberio
,
that
the
Emperour
Trebatio
would
secretly
carrye
awaye
his
Daughter
contrarye
vnto
his
will
,
And
for
that
he
hath
ben
hetherto
in
his
company
,
it
is
to
be
supposed
that
he
was
acquaynted
with
the
Emperors
determination
:
and
if
it
please
my
Lord
the
King
to
giue
attencion
vnto
my
words
,
he
should
commaund
him
for
the
same
to
bée
accordingly
punished
,
for
that
in
no
place
ther
ought
to
be
giuen
any
credite
or
trust
to
traycours
,
and
therfore
much
lesse
in
the
court
of
high
and
mighty
Kings
.
When
the
Sonne
of
Trebatio
heard
these
wordes
,
his
coulour
chaunged
,
and
with
very
anger
he
gnashed
his
téeth
together
,
striuing
to
mittigate
his
cholarike
ire
by
reson
,
and
to
answere
Florinaldus
with
patience
,
but
yet
this
valiant
Del
Phoebo
could
not
execute
his
vertuous
desire
,
for
that
his
wrath
and
cholar
did
much
more
surmount
his
calmnesse
,
which
did
procéede
of
his
worthy
&
vexed
hart
,
in
such
sort
that
he
could
not
find
which
way
to
compasse
the
same
without
the
great
abusing
of
his
honour
,
especially
to
●…eare
so
infurious
and
vile
words
spoken
against
him
,
but
with
a
surious
and
frowning
countenaunce
,
which
séemed
to
terrifie
all
them
that
did
behold
him
,
he
replied
vnto
Florinaldus
,
and
sayd
:
These
words
which
thou
hast
spoken
,
Florinaldus
,
be
villanous
,
and
not
to
be
suffered
.
Therfore
vpon
the
same
if
thou
wilt
goe
forth
into
the
field
with
mée
,
I
will
giue
thée
to
vnderstand
that
thou
doest
lie
falselie
,
for
that
I
was
neuer
traitour
to
King
nor
to
any
other
creature
.
When
this
stout
&
gallant
Knight
heard
these
words
,
his
youthfull
bloud
being
moued
,
being
politike
and
nimble
,
with
a
trice
he
wrapped
his
cloake
about
his
arme
,
&
drew
out
his
sword
,
with
the
which
he
would
haue
striken
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
who
was
vnarmed
:
but
giuing
the
enterprise
against
the
flower
of
all
knights
,
before
his
sword
could
descend
to
execute
his
will
,
with
a
light
leap
more
then
thrée
paces
he
auoyded
,
&
drew
out
his
sword
(
which
was
a
heanie
and
sorrowfull
drawing
out
vnto
many
.
)
And
for
that
Florinaldus
had
there
many
kinsefolkes
&
friends
,
and
likewise
of
his
owne
squires
and
seruants
▪
they
altogether
drew
out
their
swords
,
some
against
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
and
other
some
to
make
peace
betwixt
them
,
so
that
there
was
not
any
in
all
the
hall
but
hee
hadde
his
sword
readre
drawen
.
Now
at
such
time
as
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
would
haue
stro●…en
his
first
blow
at
Florinaldus
,
a
brother
of
his
called
the
Troyan
Earle
,
with
his
sword
in
his
hand
,
put
himselfe
forwards
,
and
thought
to
receiue
the
blow
which
descended
,
cutting
the
Ayer
with
great
fury
,
&
lifting
vp
his
sword
▪
(
with
pretence
rather
to
hurt
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
then
to
make
peace
,
his
misfortune
was
such
,
that
the
blow
descending
with
so
great
fury
stroke
the
sword
out
of
his
hand
,
&
the
sword
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
lighted
vpon
his
head
,
so
that
hée
claue
it
to
the
shoulders
,
and
he
fell
downe
dead
vnto
the
ground
,
which
was
great
griefe
to
Florinaldus
,
and
vnto
all
the
rest
of
his
kinsfolkes
&
friends
,
that
dyd
sée
him
fall
:
who
with
great
desire
to
reuenge
the
death
of
their
kinseman
,
did
put
theyr
liues
in
great
daunger
,
with
the
perill
that
was
before
them
.
And
procured
all
that
euer
they
could
to
wound
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
.
And
being
many
and
he
vnarmed
▪
he
found
himselfe
in
the
greatest
danger
that
euer
in
all
his
life
he
had
béene
in
.
Yet
for
all
that
in
this
desperate
conflict
,
he
did
plainely
show
that
he
was
the
most
couragious
Knight
of
all
his
predecessours
,
and
of
all
that
followed
after
him
.
So
that
in
all
the
twelue
parts
of
this
great
historie
as
Trebatio
,
they
haue
no
small
cause
to
mencion
this
mighty
Alfebo
,
more
than
any
other
Knight
:
for
that
this
strong
Knight
dyd
thinke
nothing
impossible
vnto
him
that
consisted
in
f●…ates
of
armes
,
and
where
so
euer
he
came
,
ther
was
nostrength
nor
courageable
to
make
resistauns
against
his
fury
.
Now
,
when
this
couragious
Gentleman
dyd
sée
him selfe
inclosed
with
his
enemies
,
and
so
many
comming
together
to
discharge
and
execute
their
fury
vppon
him
,
his
wrath
and
courage
increased
in
such
sort
,
that
in
leaping
forwardes
and
forwardes
,
striking
about
him
on
euery
side
,
hée
chaunced
on
two
of
them
which
came
before
him
,
being
seruants
vnto
Florinaldus
,
so
that
with
an
ouerthwart
blow
he
cut
the
one
of
them
cleane
a
sunder
by
the
middle
,
&
chaunced
vpon
the
other
in
the
same
place
,
that
his
sword
entred
into
his
bowells
,
&
both
of
them
fell
dead
to
the
ground
.
And
not
staying
,
he
layd
about
him
on
euery
side
,
so
that
no
man
dyd
endure
before
him
that
was
vnarmed
,
but
hee
ouerthrew
him
vnto
the
ground
,
and
all
that
euer
he
dyd
was
little
enough
,
for
that
with
the
great
violence
and
furie
which
they
vsed
without
all
feare
,
pressing
vpon
him
in
such
sort
,
that
they
hurt
him
in
thrée
or
foure
places
,
wher
at
their
issued
very
much
bloud
.
Notwithstanding
what
with
the
great
fory
hée
had
,
and
his
exxéeding
lightnesse
and
deadly
blowes
that
hee
stroke
,
hee
made
the
most
part
of
all
them
for
great
feare
to
put
them selues
apart
from
him
.
And
hauing
space
that
hée
could
turne
and
winde
his
sworde
about
him
,
there
was
none
that
was
so
hardye
for
to
assayle
him
,
but
that
he
cut
him
a
sunder
in
the
myddest
.
There
was
at
that
time
many
nobles
and
Knights
that
would
haue
parted
and
made
peace
betwixt
them
,
but
the
tumult
was
such
and
so
farre
out
of
order
,
that
by
no
meanes
they
could
reforme
it
,
till
such
time
as
the
King
Tiberio
heard
that
great
rumour
and
noyse
in
the
hall
,
he
came
forth
out
of
his
closet
,
and
tooke
his
royall
Septer
in
his
hand
,
and
pressed
in
amongst
the
thickest
of
them
very
furiously
and
with
great
anger
.
And
when
he
came
where
as
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
was
,
and
saw
round
about
him
so
many
dead
persons
,
and
amongst
them
the
Troyan
Earle
,
with
great
anger
hée
layde
hold
on
him
and
sayd
,
what
is
this
O
Knight
,
that
in
such
order
thou
d●…st
disqui●…t
my
court
,
and
hast
slaine
my
Knights
,
so
all
the
rest
when
they
saw
the
King
,
they
immediatly
dyd
retyre
backe
and
were
in
quiet
.
Then
when
the
valyaunt
Knight
of
the
Sunne
knew
him
to
be
the
King
,
and
heard
what
hee
sayd
,
hée
forthwith
dyd
moderate
his
anger
all
that
euer
hee
could
,
and
sayde
:
it
is
your
Knights
that
doth
disquiet
your
Court
and
not
I
and
if
I
haue
slaine
any
it
is
in
defending
my self
from
the
death
,
which
they
doe
procure
to
giue
me
.
Of
this
sayde
the
King
I
will
informe
my selfe
,
&
punish
them
that
hath
bene
the
occasion
héereof
.
And
in
saying
these
words
he
demaunded
of
him
his
sword
,
which
he
gaue
him
,
more
for
curtesies
sake
then
for
any
other
thing
,
&
hauing
it
,
he
also
tooke
the
sword
of
Florinaldus
,
and
of
all
the
rest
that
he
suspected
to
be
on
his
partye
,
and
straight
wayes
called
beefore
him
all
his
Knights
&
gard
,
&
commaunded
them
to
take
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
prisoner
,
&
to
carry
him
into
a
strong
Tower
which
was
on
the
one
side
of
the
Pallace
,
&
likewise
to
take
Florinaldus
,
&
all
those
that
were
on
his
side
,
&
to
carry
them
vnto
another
Tower
that
was
on
the
other
side
of
his
Pallace
,
so
that
both
the
one
&
the
other
were
put
in
good
kéeping
,
but
if
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
had
bene
armed
,
before
he
would
haue
ben
taken
prisoner
,
he
would
haue
made
the
King
to
haue
giuen
eare
&
to
hearke●…
vnto
that
hée
would
haue
said
in
discharging
himself
,
but
by
reason
that
he
was
as
it
were
naked
,
he
yeelded
,
and
had
patience
with
all
that
which
the
King
commaunded
,
&
so
they
lead
them
vnto
the
Tower
which
was
very
high
&
well
walled
.
And
when
hée
was
therin
,
they
made
fast
a
very
great
chaine
to
his
leg
,
and
for
to
kéepe
him
there
was
put
thirty
armed
Knights
,
and
as
many
mo
other
men
.
Then
the
Dutchesse
of
Panonia
,
did
send
vnto
him
a
very
good
Surgion
to
heale
him
of
his
woundes
.
At
this
time
the
death
of
the
Troyan
Earle
was
published
throughout
all
the
Court
,
and
there
was
made
for
him
great
lamentacion
,
for
that
the
most
noblest
Princes
and
Knights
that
were
there
,
were
of
his
kinsfolks
.
So
both
the
one
&
the
other
complayned
very
much
vnto
the
King
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
in
such
sort
that
hée
was
verye
much
inflamed
agaynst
him
.
At
this
time
there
entered
into
the
pallace
the
Countesse
,
Lady
and
wife
vnto
the
Troyan
Earle
,
in
mourning
appare●…l
,
bringing
with
hir
two
young
sonnes
,
who
entering
into
the
Hall
whereas
the
King
was
,
beeganne
to
powre
foorth
sorrowful
complaynts
,
destring
iustice
agaynst
them
that
had
slayne
hir
Husband
,
and
seeing
him
lye
dead
vppon
the
floore
,
shee
threw
hir selfe
vpon
him
,
and
made
such
lamentation
,
that
it
was
a
heauie
thing
to
béehold
,
at
which
sight
if
the
King
beefore
were
inflamed
against
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
his
indignation
dyd
the
more
increase
against
him
,
in
béeholding
the
great
sorrow
of
the
Countesse
,
and
determyned
in
himselfe
to
doo
iustice
vpon
the
death
of
the
Earle
,
and
hée
ioyned
vnto
his
indignation
the
great
authoritie
that
hée
had
to
bée
called
an
executer
of
iustice
,
(
which
vnto
manie
,
yea
,
&
very
mightie
Monarches
oftentimes
is
very
hurtfull
,
&
the
ende
of
those
extremities
obtaine
them
the
infamous
names
of
Tyrants
.
)
Then
the
King
commaunded
that
the
dead
bodyes
should
bee
carryed
out
of
the
hall
and
buryed
,
and
the
Troyan
Earle
was
buryed
with
great
honour
,
and
accompanyed
with
the
most
noble
and
principall
Knights
of
the
Court.
Now
,
hee
béeing
very
sorrowfull
for
the
death
of
the
Earle
,
many
Knights
that
had
affection
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
dyd
labour
with
him
for
his
discharge
,
of
béeing
in
any
fault
of
that
tumult
,
and
dyd
informe
him
of
the
great
cause
that
he
had
to
do
that
which
he
did
in
his
owne
defence
,
but
there
was
nothing
that
dyd
profit
at
all
with
the
King
,
but
rather
hée
dyd
shew
himselfe
very
angry
and
wrathfull
against
them
that
dyd
speake
vnto
him
in
the
Knights
béehalfe
,
which
was
a
great
griefe
vnto
many
which
dyd
know
the
valure
and
desert
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
for
it
séemed
vnto
them
no
reason
that
hée
should
bée
intreated
in
that
sort
.
And
béecause
that
the
King
Tiberio
was
daylie
and
hourely
vrged
on
all
parts
,
the
one
crying
and
asking
iustice
,
and
the
other
gayne-saying
the
same
,
hée
was
for
certaine
daies
very
doubtfull
,
not
knowing
how
co
determine
what
was
best
to
bee
done
,
but
aunswered
them
all
to
their
little
delyght
.
By
this
tyme
the
●…night
of
the
Sunne
was
healed
of
his
wounds
,
and
the
Dutchesse
of
Panonia
prouided
for
him
all
things
necessarie
in
the
prison
,
performing
it
with
as
great
care
and
diligence
as
myght
bée
:
But
when
hée
knew
the
King
was
doubtfull
of
his
determination
,
and
of
the
great
iudignation
hee
shewed
against
him
:
it
dyd
repent
him
that
hée
suffered
himselfe
so
to
be
taken
.
And
hée
immagined
with
himselfe
what
meanes
might
best
be
wrought
for
to
cléere
himselfe
of
that
imprisonment
:
for
that
the
nobilitie
of
his
valyant
courage
,
could
not
abide
to
bée
so
shut
vp
,
and
abyde
the
curtesie
and
pleasure
of
the
King
.
So
in
this
order
the
storie
doth
leaue
him
till
the
tyme
serue
.
How
the
Knight
of
Cupido
dyd
take
his
leaue
of
the
Queene
Arguirosa
,
and
entred
into
the
kingdome
of
Rusia
,
where
he
found
a
strange
aduenture
.
Chap.
4.
THE
mightie
déedes
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
and
the
worthy
knighthood
of
the
valiant
Alphebo
,
hath
put
almost
in
obliuion
that
excellent
and
worthy
Knight
Rosicleer
,
whose
amorous
loue
,
and
inuincible
deedes
,
doo
deserue
a
more
eloquenter
writer
then
my
vnskilfull
pen
can
performe
.
Now
if
you
doo
remember
in
the
Historie
past
,
how
that
one
way
Fortune
caused
him
to
be
the
most
saddest
and
sorrowful
Knight
that
euer
was
seene
,
so
full
of
bitter
heauinesse
,
that
whatsoeuer
thing
hée
dyd
accomplish
and
bring
to
passe
was
not
sufficient
to
make
him
merry
.
And
on
the
other
side
,
Fortune
dyd
show
him
very
〈◊〉
in
putting
beefore
him
marueilous
and
wonderfull
things
and
aduentures
of
so
great
strangenesse
,
that
ouer
comming
them
by
his
surmounted
valo●…r
,
in
all
the
world
was
spred
a
broad
the
fame
of
the
Knight
of
Cupido
.
So
after
that
hée
had
slaine
that
valyant
〈◊〉
,
from
all
the
parts
of
Thesalia
,
and
the
confines
round
about
,
there
came
many
people
for
to
sée
him
,
as
a
thing
of
great
admiration
,
in
the
time
that
hée
there
remain●…d
,
for
to
place
the
Queene
Arguirosa
in
full
possession
of
all
hir
landes
,
and
that
all
hir
vasalls
and
subiectes
were
quieted
and
setled
in
good
order
.
For
by
reason
that
he
was
on
the
Quéenes
side
,
in
few
dayes
they
were
all
in
peace
and
quyet
.
Now
when
hée
saw
that
there
was
no
more
to
bée
done
,
hée
was
very
desirous
to
go
vnto
some
other
place
,
wheras
in
recompence
of
the
great
honour
and
seruice
done
vnto
him
,
hee
might
bee
in
some
solytarie
desart
,
to
béewayle
his
mis●…ortune
.
Then
remembring
himselfe
,
hee
determined
to
take
his
leaue
of
the
Queene
Arguirosa
,
who
bare
him
great
good
will
,
and
dyd
loue
him
as
hir selfe
.
And
if
shée
had
not
perceiued
that
his
heart
was
prisoner
in
some
other
place
,
shée
would
with
a
verie
good
will
haue
chosen
him
Lord
of
hirs
,
and
receiued
him
for
hir
husband
,
without
any
desire
to
bée
informed
farther
of
his
estate
and
discent
:
for
she
rested
wholely
satisfied
in
that
which
shee
saw
by
experience
of
his
royall
worthinesse
and
bountie
.
And
when
the
Knight
of
Cupido
dyd
declare
vnto
hir
his
desire
to
depart
,
and
craued
licence
for
the
same
,
she
receiued
so
great
sorrow
therat
,
that
in
a
long
space
she
could
not
make
him
any
aunswere
.
So
after
a
whyle
that
shée
had
remained
in
that
traunce
,
distilling
from
hir
christaline
eyes
abundaunce
of
teares
which
ran
downe
vpon
hir
faire
and
lyllie
white
chéekes
,
lyke
vnto
orientall
pearles
:
shée
vttered
vnto
him
these
words
.
Worthie
Knight
,
this
thy
departure
which
thou
dost
pretend
,
is
vnto
mee
so
great
a
griefe
,
that
I
hartely
wish
I
had
not
knowen
you
,
although
it
had
cost
mée
a
great
part
of
this
my
Kingdome
.
For
considering
how
much
I
am
bound
vnto
you
,
and
remembring
the
great
desert
and
ba●…our
of
your
person
,
I
doo
not
thinck
neither
can
I
wel
bée●…éeue
that
there
is
any
thing
in
all
the
world
able
to
make
me
merry
,
or
minister
vnto
me
any
pleasure
or
contentment
but
onely
your
presence
.
Oh
,
I
would
God
(
if
hee
were
so
pleased
)
that
I
might
know
your
hart
at
libertie
,
〈◊〉
therby
●…ée
able
to
repay
you
part
of
the
great
benefit
whic●…
you
●…aue
showed
vnto
mée
,
in
making
you
Lord
ouer
all
this
●…ingdome
,
and
there-with
I
should
accompt
my selfe
the
happiest
Gentlewoman
in
all
the
world
,
but
séeing
it
is
so
that
another
hath
possessed
that
place
before
mée
,
and
deserued
to
bee
Lady
of
your
libertie
:
this
one
thing
I
doo
desire
of
thee
,
that
wheresoeuer
you
become
to
remember
mée
,
and
this
my
Countrie
and
Kingdome
,
the
which
you
may
take
as
your
owne
at
all
tymes
when
occasion
shall
serue
,
for
that
there
cannot
bée
a
greater
pleasure
vnto
mée
,
then
for
you
to
commaund
mée
in
any
thing
that
is
requisit
.
And
if
at
any
tyme
Fortune
bring
you
into
this
countrie
,
with
more
delight
then
at
this
time
you
séeme
to
be
indued
with
all
,
I
shall
thinck
my selfe
most
happie
,
that
as
I
haue
r●…ceiued
at
your
hands
this
kingdome
,
so
I
may
lykewise
obtaine
a
husband
at
your
appoyntment
,
for
receiuing
him
at
the
hands
of
so
worthy
a
Knight
,
it
cannot
be
but
very
conformable
vnto
my
honour
,
and
conuenient
for
my
estate
.
All
this
the
Quéene
spake
,
for
the
great
loue
shée
bare
vnto
Rosicleer
,
giuing
him
honestly
to
vnderstand
that
if
it
were
his
pleasure
to
receiue
hir
for
his
wife
,
shée
was
very
wel
content
therwith
,
but
Rosicleere
who
had
his
thoughts
very
far
from
hir
purpose
,
would
not
aunswere
any
thing
wherby
shée
might
take
any
hold
,
yet
gaue
hir
great
thanks
for
hir
curteous
proffer
made
vnto
him
,
and
promised
hir
alwayes
to
haue
hir
in
remembrance
,
and
to
serue
hir
in
all
that
euer
hée
could
.
And
although
at
that
time
●…e
dyd
excuse
himselfe
as
much
as
hee
might
to
cléere
himselfe
of
that
charge
,
in
prouiding
hir
a
Husband
of
his
owne
choyce
,
yet
time
did
serue
that
Rosicleer
had
opportunitie
,
〈◊〉
dyd
estéeme
it
very
much
,
&
hée
dyd
pacifie
very
great
and
troublesome
controuersies
,
hatreds
,
and
discords
,
by
which
shée
might
haue
receiued
great
damage
&
harme
,
as
in
this
History
shall
bée
shewed
vnto
you
.
So
in
the
ende
of
many
curtesies
béetwéene
them
,
Rosicleer
tooke
his
leaue
of
th●…
Quéene
,
and
would
receiue
nothing
of
hir
but
onely
a
good
horse
,
which
she
commanded
to
bée
giuen
him
,
&
so
hée
departed
out
of
the
Citie
,
and
in
few
dayes
after
out
of
the
kingdome
,
and
in
passing
through
Dardania
and
Dacia
,
hée
trauayled
many
dayes
,
in
the
which
there
chaunced
sundry
aduentures
that
I
omit
,
to
come
vnto
the
effect
of
this
historie
.
And
béeing
foorth
of
the
Realme
of
Dacia
,
the
history
sayth
that
hée
entered
into
the
kingdome
of
Russia
,
wheras
it
was
told
him
there
were
great
and
meruaylous
aduentures
.
So
it
happened
that
the
third
day
in
the
morning
he
entered
into
that
Countrie
,
and
came
vnto
a
plaine
mountaine
,
so
fresh
and
delectable
as
might
be
pos●…ible
,
and
he
trauayled
so
long
therein
,
till
at
the
last
his
way
dyd
part
in
twaine
,
&
the
one
way
was
more
vsed
then
the
other
,
and
by
reason
that
his
minde
was
troubled
in
thincking
vppon
his
Lady
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
hée
was
so
far
from
his
remembrance
,
that
hée
respected
not
which
way
hée
tooke
,
but
followed
that
way
which
his
horse
voluntarily
went
,
who
entered
into
that
which
was
lesse
vsed
,
&
hée
trauailed
forwards
in
that
way
the
most
part
of
all
that
day
,
and
béeing
tormented
with
his
loue
,
he
remembred
not
to
eate
,
neither
had
hée
mynde
of
any
other
thing
,
til
such
tyme
as
his
horse
for
very
hunger
stayed
and
would
goe
no
farther
,
but
striued
to
eate
of
the
gréene
grasse
which
was
in
the
way
.
And
by
this
occasion
the
Knight
of
Cupide
came
vnto
himselfe
,
and
saw
that
hee
had
lost
his
way
,
and
was
entered
into
that
path
,
and
considering
the
most
part
of
the
day
was
already
past
,
hee
quickened
vp
his
spirits
,
and
trauayled
with
better
remembrance
then
beefore
hée
had
done
,
making
great
hast
to
come
vnto
some
place
,
where
hée
might
haue
somwhat
to
eate
,
and
not
suffer
himselfe
to
dye
desperately
with
hunger
.
So
hée
followed
that
euill
accustomed
way
till
such
time
as
it
was
almost
night
,
and
it
brought
him
vnto
the
sight
of
very
high
and
mightie
Rocks
,
which
were
in
the
middest
of
that
wildernesse
,
vnder
the
which
he
saw
a
thing
that
dyd
put
him
in
great
admiration
which
was
,
that
out
of
the
mouth
of
a
caue
vnder
those
Rocks
there
came
foorth
great
flames
of
fyer
,
accompanied
with
darke
and
thick
smoake
,
which
seemed
to
bée
some
infernall
den
,
the
mouth
of
the
Caue
was
so
great
,
that
a
Knight
on
Horsebacke
myght
well
enter
in
thereat
:
and
béeing
●…rous
to
know
what
it
should
bée
,
hée
drew
nigh
vnto
it
,
but
his
horse
was
so
fearefull
,
that
hée
could
not
come
so
nigh
as
the
Knights
will
was
,
but
was
constrayned
to
alight
from
his
back
,
and
made
him
fast
vnto
a
trée
,
and
he
went
a
foot
towards
that
wonderfull
caue
.
When
hée
came
nigh
vnto
it
,
hée
saw
towards
the
right
hand
ingrauen
in
the
hard
Rock
certaine
Letters
very
fayre
,
which
séemed
to
bée
of
great
antiquity
,
and
hée
read
them
,
finding
them
to
be
as
followeth
.
This
is
the
caue
of
the
wise
Artidon
,
who
dyed
for
the
loue
of
Artidea
,
daughter
vnto
king
Liberio
,
the
onely
heyre
of
this
Kingdome
,
who
in
recompence
of
hir
cruelty
doth
and
shall
remaine
héere
,
giuing
true
aunsweres
vnto
all
that
shall
bée
demaunded
of
hir
,
till
such
tyme
as
a
Knight
shall
come
,
who
with
his
great
bounty
and
force
can
ouercome
the
terrible
kéepers
of
the
entrie
héereof
,
and
set
hir
at
lybertie
,
and
then
shall
this
entrie
bée
frée
vnto
all
those
that
will
know
any
thing
of
the
wyse
man
.
When
the
Knight
of
Cupide
had
well
read
these
Letters
and
vnderstood
them
,
hée
very
much
meruayled
at
that
straunge
aduenture
,
and
strayght
way
it
mooued
in
him
a
great
good
will
and
desire
to
prooue
the
same
,
both
to
sée
and
know
what
was
within
the
caue
,
and
euen
as
one
that
dyd
abhor
his
owne
lyfe
,
so
hée
delyghted
not
in
any
other
thing
but
in
great
and
perillous
aduentures
,
&
indeuoured
to
giue
the
attempt
vnto
them
when
hée
had
opportunitie
,
but
by
reason
it
was
late
,
and
that
it
waxed
dark
,
he
determined
to
let
the
enterprise
alone
till
the
next
morning
,
for
that
the
night
might
be
a
hinderance
vnto
him
for
the
performance
.
And
therewith
hée
pulled
off
his
Horse
Bridle
,
to
let
him
féede
vpon
the
grasse
there
abouts
,
and
he
as
one
that
had
no
care
of
himselfe
,
layde
him
a
long
vpon
the
gréene
grasse
,
and
then
his
minde
béegan
a
new
to
bée
troubled
with
his
accustomed
thoughts
,
not
remembring
that
in
all
the
day
beefore
hée
had
not
eaten
any
thing
,
neyther
dyd
he
know
where
to
get
any
meat
to
refresh
himselfe
at
that
tyme
of
the
nyght
,
and
calling
to
his
remembraunce
the
cruell
words
in
the
Letter
of
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
his
heart
suffered
so
great
gréese
and
passions
,
that
tumbling
himselfe
vpon
the
grasse
from
the
one
side
to
the
other
,
hee
sayde
:
Oh
earth
,
that
for
all
mortalytie
thou
openest
thy selfe
,
and
receiuest
them
into
thy
bosome
,
wherefore
doost
not
thou
now
at
this
present
open
thy
bowells
and
receiue
mée
into
thée
,
for
béeing
buried
,
I
should
receiue
great
contentment
.
I
know
not
wherefore
I
lyue
any
longer
,
or
wherefore
I
am
suffered
in
this
world
,
for
that
I
haue
lost
all
hope
to
sée
any
more
the
Princesse
Oliuia
.
Oh
that
this
aduenture
which
I
meane
to
prooue
might
bée
the
last
,
and
that
I
might
dye
héere
within
this
caue
,
although
the
occasion
of
my
death
bée
neuer
knowen
nor
heard
of
.
So
these
and
many
other
words
of
great
lamentation
hée
vttered
,
that
it
was
most
gréeuous
to
heare
,
and
passed
away
a
péece
of
the
first
part
of
the
night
with
great
sorrow
.
And
the
nyght
béeing
very
darke
,
vppon
a
sodayne
hée
heard
a
noise
and
murmuring
of
people
,
which
caused
him
to
aryse
vp
to
sée
what
it
should
bée
,
and
hée
saw
at
the
foote
of
the
Rock
a
great
fire
,
and
round
about
the
same
there
were
a
company
of
Shepheards
,
and
those
were
they
which
made
that
noyse
.
And
béeing
desirous
to
know
what
they
could
say
more
of
that
caue
,
hée
determined
to
goe
whereas
they
were
,
and
when
hée
came
vnto
them
,
hée
saluted
them
with
very
curteous
words
.
When
the
Shepheards
saw
him
of
so
goodly
a
stature
,
and
armed
with
so
precious
and
rych
armour
,
they
receiued
him
as
a
Knight
of
estimation
,
and
gaue
him
very
good
intertainment
,
and
dyd
inuite
him
to
theyr
supper
,
which
they
had
in
a
readinesse
,
and
after
that
hée
had
surrendered
vnto
them
thankes
for
theyr
courtesie
,
hée
sat
downe
amongst
them
by
the
sier
.
Then
one
of
the
shepheards
,
who
séemed
to
be
the
chéefe
among
them
,
and
that
had
more
vnderstanding
,
and
was
of
a
better
conuersation
then
all
the
rest
,
did
demand
of
the
Knight
of
Cupide
,
what
aduenture
had
brought
him
at
that
tyme
of
the
night
to
that
place
?
The
Knight
aunswered
and
sayde
.
I
am
a
straunger
in
this
Countrie
,
and
now
it
is
three
dayes
since
I
first
entered
into
this
Kingdome
,
and
for
that
I
dyd
not
know
nor
yet
doo
,
this
countrie
,
my
fortune
hath
brought
mee
hether
this
euening
,
and
séeing
that
the
night
drew
on
,
fearing
to
bée
intangled
in
vnaccustomed
wayes
,
I
determined
to
remaine
there
hard
by
the
Court
till
the
morning
,
pretending
to
prooue
that
aduenture
when
the
day
was
come
.
And
afterward
when
I
saw
you
together
héere
,
I
thought
it
best
to
come
into
your
company
,
as
well
to
eate
somewhat
(
for
that
I
am
very
hungrie
)
as
also
to
informe
my selfe
of
you
touching
the
aduenture
of
this
caue
of
Artidon
,
for
till
this
euening
that
I
did
come
hether
and
sée
it
,
I
neuer
beefore
heard
any
mention
therof
.
Then
the
shepheards
sayd
,
sir
Knight
,
séeing
that
you
haue
given
vs
to
vnderstand
the
occasion
of
your
comming
hether
,
wee
will
now
giue
you
to
vnderstand
what
wée
know
,
and
what
at
any
time
we
could
learne
of
the
aduenture
of
this
cause
,
&
possiblie
after
you
vnderstand
it
,
it
will
withdraw
you
from
this
great
good
will
and
determinatyon
that
you
haue
,
to
giue
the
proofe
and
enterprise
.
And
in
the
meane
time
that
which
wée
haue
for
our
supper
shall
be
made
ready
,
&
of
such
as
wée
haue
with
a
very
good
will
you
shall
eate
your
part
,
for
that
your
person
and
presence
doth
deserue
no
lesse
.
Now
,
that
which
wée
doo
know
and
of
long
time
past
haue
heard
say
touching
this
Caue
,
is
,
that
in
time
past
almost
out
of
memorie
,
there
was
in
this
Kingdome
of
Russia
a
Knight
called
Artidon
,
who
being
a
Knight
of
great
courage
and
high
lynage
,
and
gentle
of
disposition
,
was
also
the
wysest
in
the
magicall
art
that
could
bée
found
in
many
countries
.
And
in
the
chiefest
time
and
flower
of
all
his
Knighthood
and
science
,
this
Kingdome
was
gouerned
by
a
Ladie
called
Artedea
,
who
at
the
death
of
the
King
hir
father
was
very
yong
,
but
when
shée
came
vnto
the
state
of
marryage
,
thée
was
so
fayre
and
of
so
great
beautie
,
that
many
Princes
and
Knights
desired
to
haue
hir
for
wife
,
but
among
all
those
that
in
their
seruice
dyd
most
indeuour
to
obtaine
hir
loue
,
there
was
not
one
of
them
that
in
so
noble
and
valyaunt
manner
did
demeane
himselfe
as
Artedon
dyd
,
for
not
alone
in
déedes
of
armes
,
but
also
by
his
science
,
he
dyd
mighty
&
wonderfull
things
in
hir
seruice
.
But
his
fate
&
misfortune
was
such
,
that
the
quéene
did
not
onely
withdraw
hir
loue
from
him
,
but
did
also
hate
&
abhorre
him
to
the
death
:
&
all
that
euer
he
did
in
hir
seruice
did
moue
hir
to
be
melancholike
&
very
angry
.
This
worthy
Artidon
had
his
loue
so
intirely
fixed
vpun
hir
,
that
he
would
doe
any
thing
for
hir
delight
,
but
all
that
he
dyd
was
not
estéemed
of
the
Quéene
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
after
he
was
fully
certified
&
vnderstoode
hir
great
crueltie
,
hée
sell
into
a
mortall
sickenesse
,
&
being
without
all
hope
of
remedy
of
the
Quéene
,
hée
determined
to
reuenge
himself
on
hir
before
he
dyed
.
So
on
a
night
by
his
great
learning
,
he
tooke
the
Quéene
out
of
hir
bed
&
brought
hir
vnto
his
caue
:
&
that
night
there
was
thundring
&
lightning
,
that
with
the
great
noise
therof
,
they
thought
verely
the
whole
world
would
haue
sonke
.
But
in
the
morning
when
they
saw
that
the
Quane
was
gone
,
&
could
not
finde
hir
,
they
sought
for
hir
in
all
parts
,
but
all
was
in
vayne
,
for
that
chauncing
to
come
this
way
,
&
reading
that
which
is
there
grauen
in
the
Rocke
,
they
straight
wayes
vnderstoode
that
the
wise
Artidon
had
brought
hir
thether
,
in
reuenge
of
the
great
cruelty
that
she
vsed
to
him
.
Whervpon
ther
was
diuers
Knights
that
would
proue
the
entrie
into
the
caue
,
and
it
fell
out
with
them
as
you
shall
beare
.
All
such
Knights
as
were
in
loue
dyd
enter
in
thorough
the
fier
,
without
receyuing
any
hurt
,
but
within
a
while
after
they
were
put
back
&
throwen
out
againe
some
●…arke
dead
,
and
other
some
very
sore
hurt
and
ill
intreated
.
And
when
it
was
demaunded
of
them
what
they
saw
within
the
caue
,
and
what
happened
vnto
them
,
they
sayde
●…hat
at
the
entry
thereof
ther
was
a
great
Bull
,
which
dyd
●…efend
the
entry
,
and
at
the
first
encounter
he
stroke
them
with
his
hornes
,
and
dorue
them
out
of
the
caue
,
and
this
Bull
was
of
so
great
and
wonderfull
bignesse
and
fierce●…esse
that
the
like
hath
not
béene
séene
,
&
his
hornes
were
●…
so
great
hardnesse
that
they
séemed
to
be
stéele
,
&
all
such
Knights
as
did
not
loue
,
at
the
hoore
that
they
gaue
the
enterprise
,
they
felt
so
great
heate
&
torment
,
that
they
were
constrayned
to
returne
back
again
,
so
that
they
could
not
come
vnto
the
knowledge
of
the
Quéene
,
neyther
vnto
this
day
hath
ther
bene
any
that
hath
had
so
much
prowesse
to
come
vnto
the
knowledge
of
hir
,
although
there
haue
come
many
Knights
out
of
diuers
and
sundry
countryes
to
proue
this
aduenture
,
and
it
is
now
a
great
time
past
since
any
enterprise
hath
ben
giuen
,
and
yet
all
the
people
of
this
Country
do
liue
in
hope
that
their
Quéene
shall
be
deliuered
out
of
this
inchantment
,
so
that
euer
since
the
time
of
hir
inchanting
this
Kingdome
hath
ben
ruled
by
gouernours
,
and
not
one
hether
to
hath
borne
,
the
name
of
King
,
but
at
such
time
as
any
doe
enter
into
this
ground
,
they
are
sworne
to
deliuer
the
Kingdome
vnto
the
quéene
Artidea
,
at
such
time
as
she
is
deliuered
out
of
that
inchaunted
caue
.
At
this
present
he
that
is
gouernour
of
this
country
is
a
yong
knight
of
great
vertue
&
wisdome
,
whose
name
is
Luziro
,
and
diuers
then
be
that
be
cunning
in
Art
magicke
,
that
haue
told
him
that
in
the
time
of
his
gouernment
the
quéene
shall
be
set
at
liberty●…
from
the
Inchantment
of
Artidon
,
so
that
they
doe
looke
for
hir
deliuery
daily
.
This
is
sir
Knight
that
which
I
haue
heard
declared
and
spoken
by
ancient
men
,
and
héere
I
do
tell
you
of
a
truth
that
the
kéepers
of
that
caue
haue
caused
so
great
seare
in
all
this
country
,
that
of
long
time
there
hath
ben●…
no
Knight
so
hardy
to
giue
the
enterprise
vnto
the
caue
,
●…
I
doe
not
thinke
him
to
be
a
wise
man
that
will
put
himselfe
to
proue
this
aduenture
,
for
that
hether
to
ther
hath
not
bell
a
Knight
of
so
much
prowes
as
to
conquer
the
first
kéeper
,
&
it
is
to
be
beleeued
,
that
the
caue
is
not
kept
by
that
alone
bull
,
but
that
ther
is
some
other
keeper
as
ill
or
worse
then
he●…
.
The
Knight
of
Cupid
was
glad
and
did
very
much
reioyce
at
this
good
newes
which
the
shepheard
had
told
him
of
this
aduenture
,
&
giuing
him
great
thanks
for
the
same
he
said
,
that
for
any
thing
he
would
not
let
but
giue
the
enter
thereto
if
the
day
were
come
.
Whereat
the
shepheardes
were
greatlie
amazed
,
and
did
request
him
a●…
that
they
might
to
leaue
and
giu●…
ouer
this
determination
,
and
not
to
put
himselfe
into
such
perill
,
for
that
by
no
meanes
he
could
escape
the
death
,
or
els
to
be
very
sore
hurt
.
At
this
time
theyr
poore
supper
was
ready
,
and
set
vpon
the
gréene
grasse
▪
wheras
they
sate
downe
to
supper
together
,
&
when
they
had
supped
the
Shepheards
went
and
tooke
their
rests
,
&
slept
,
&
the
Knight
of
Cupid
did
solitarily
put
himself
a
part
,
and
sate
downe
vpon
the
grasse
vnder
a
trée
;
&
there
passed
that
night
with
great
desire
to
proue
the
entry
of
the
caue
,
&
thought
the
night
a
thousand
yeere
til
that
▪
day
was
come
.
How
the
Knight
of
Cupid
entered
into
the
dreadfull
caue
of
Artidon

and
of
all
that
happened
there

Chap.
5.
SO
the
next
day
in
the
morning
when
the
Sunne
began
to
shew
himselfe
ouer
all
the
earth
,
the
worthy
Knight
of
Cupid
arose
vp
,
and
looked
for
the
shepheards
,
and
saw
them
where
they
lay
all
a
long
vppon
the
gréene
grasse
▪
and
were
all
a
sléepe
very
soundly
,
&
without
all
care
,
as
those
that
were
not
troubled
with
any
kind
of
sorrow
for
to
disturbe
them
of
their
rest
,
and
calling
to
remembrance
the
great
number
of
nights
that
he
had
passed
wholy
without
any
sléepe
or
taking
any
rest
,
&
of
his
great
●…ares
and
profound
thoughts
,
that
did
not
all
onely
bannish
●…way
all
sleepe
in
the
night
,
but
also
in
the
day
time
it
brought
●…im
into
excéeding
admiration
,
which
did
sore
trouble
his
●…houghts
,
&
caused
him
to
lift
vp
his
eyes
to
heauen
&
say
.
Oh
Fortune
how
little
are
we
bound
vnto
thée
,
all
we
whom
thou
hast
brought
into
this
world
with
dignitye
●…nd
honour
,
and
caused
vs
to
exercise
and
vse
all
military
Knighthood
,
it
had
béene
much
better
for
vs
,
and
with
grea●…er
ease
&
quiet
rest
void
of
all
care
,
●…to
passe
our
times
in
●…
meane
and
a
base
estate
,
héere
in
these
gréene
and
flouri●…ing
fieldes
,
whereas
is
all
the
quietnesse
in
the
world
:
And
not
with
so
much
pleasure
in
the
courts
of
Kings
and
Princes
,
whereas
we
doe
see
&
make
captiue
our
owne
liberties
,
and
venture
our
liues
and
honours
euery
houre
,
&
agayne
if
it
be
not
with
losse
of
bloud
and
great
perils
,
he
is
not
worthy
of
honour
nor
to
▪
beare
the
name
of
a
Knight
,
but
doth
greatly
defame
the
order
of
Knighthoode
,
wharas
they
sléepe
&
passe
the
sweet
nights
with
great
quietnesse
&
receiue
no
infamie
nor
rebuke
▪
but
doe
comfort
and
reioyce
themselues
all
night
long
with
the
peceable
freshnes
of
the
aire
,
wheras
is
all
quietnesse
of
the
wild
beasts
,
the
silence
of
the
birds
,
the
pittering
noyse
of
the
running
of
waters
,
the
great
freshnesse
of
the
trees
,
the
swéet
&
odoriferous
smels
of
all
flowers
,
which
I
say
is
vnto
the
soule
&
hart
a
continuall
peace
&
concord
,
&
in
the
breake
of
the
day
a
new
forme
&
mosicke
,
for
to
recreat
themselues
in
their
golden
sléepe
,
the
swéet
noise
and
musicke
of
the
birds
,
who
doth
with
the
flittering
of
their
wings
&
notes
,
almost
inuite
a
man
to
all
delights
,
and
afterward
the
golden
bemes
of
the
Sun
,
at
all
times
when
he
doth
shew
himself
,
doth
reioyce
&
recreat
all
humane
harts
,
and
all
the
rest
of
the
day
following
is
spent
with
great
mirth
&
pastime
,
with
sufferable
heats
,
vnder
the
freshnesse
of
the
gréene
trées
,
&
when
night
commeth
on
them
,
they
altogether
ioyne
about
the
comfortable
fire
,
whereas
they
haue
a
peaceable
and
friendly
conuersation
with
great
affection
,
&
that
which
is
most
in
this
fortunate
and
happy
estate
,
is
,
that
fortune
cannot
much
hurt
them
,
for
that
in
smal
matters
they
do
with
great
ease
execute
their
anger
,
so
that
we
are
void
of
al
these
benefits
,
we
I
say
that
liue
in
this
troublesome
estate
of
militarie
knighthood
,
for
that
the
first
day
we
be
armed
Knights
,
we
begin
to
seeke
the
death
for
our selues
,
and
life
for
others
,
we
are
alwayes
be
wrapt
with
great
dangers
and
perils
for
the
sauegard
of
our
liues
and
honours
,
so
that
I
know
not
what
difference
is
be
wixt
our
trauayles
,
&
the
traualies
of
them
which
are
alwayes
vpon
the
seas
,
tossed
héere
and
ther
with
great
torments
&
troubles
And
if
this
life
be
common
to
all
Knightes
▪
as
in
especiall
it
is
vnto
the
sonnes
of
high
and
mightie
Kings
,
to
whom
and
at
what
time
Fortune
will
vse
hir
crueltye
▪
she
doth
not
lacke
some
matter
of
occasion
to
execute
hir
wrath
▪
For
I
doe
account
that
marriner
to
be
vnwise
,
that
knowing
of
the
storme
and
tempest
,
will
leaue
his
Port
and
ingulfe
himselfe
wilfullie
into
the
seas
.
And
it
is
not
the
wisest
part
of
a
man
,
especially
of
him
that
doth
desire
to
liue
with
rest
,
to
seeke
highnesse
and
honour
,
and
therby
frequent
himselfe
where
all
daungers
are
apparaunt
.
And
in
saying
these
wordes
he
began
to
goe
towardes
the
place
wher
the
shepheards
were
,
&
at
the
noise
that
he
made
in
his
going
,
they
did
all
awake
out
of
their
sound
sleepe
:
&
when
they
saw
him
they
did
all
arise
vp
on
foote
,
and
did
salute
him
very
curteously
,
&
when
they
vnderstoode
of
him
that
hee
would
giue
the
enterprise
to
proue
the
entering
into
the
caue
,
they
all
together
did
goe
with
him
,
and
promised
him
that
they
would
there
remaine
till
such
time
as
they
did
know
what
should
béecome
of
him
,
and
so
they
went
all
together
towardes
the
caue
,
and
when
they
came
thether
,
the
Knight
of
Cupid
did
take
his
leaue
of
the
shepherds
,
and
when
he
saw
those
wonderfull
flames
that
proceeded
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
caue
,
hee
iugded
that
there
must
néeds
be
many
meruailous
and
daungerous
aduentures
within
,
and
at
the
sight
of
that
present
perill
his
courage
and
fury
did
very
much
increase
,
and
he
committed
himselfe
vnto
God
,
beginning
to
put
himselfe
into
the
fire
,
&
for
that
he
was
so
true
a
seruaunt
vnto
Cupid
,
that
merualious
fire
did
not
hurt
him
any
thing
at
all
,
but
found
it
true
as
the
shepheards
had
told
him
.
Then
he
passed
through
the
fire
,
and
went
forwards
till
hée
came
into
the
caue
,
whereas
no
fire
was
,
but
yet
it
gaue
so
great
a
light
and
brightnesse
,
that
he
might
see
all
that
was
within
very
playnlie
,
and
he
went
towards
a
very
narrow
lane
,
which
seemed
to
be
cut
out
of
that
rock
,
&
was
so
straight
that
thrée
Knights
could
not
passe
together
through
it
,
but
with
great
difficultie
:
&
ouer
the
lane
it
was
couered
with
arthes
very
stronglie
,
like
as
it
is
in
sellers
.
And
as
the
Knight
of
Cupid
went
towards
it
,
he
straight
waies
heard
a
great
&
wonderfull
noise
like
vnto
a
Thunder
bolt
,
which
descendeth
vnto
the
earth
,
throwen
out
of
the
region
of
the
ayre
,
&
it
was
that
out
of
the
inner
parts
of
the
caue
there
came
towards
him
,
alongst
that
narrow
lane
,
a
mighty
great
Bull
,
who
seemed
to
fill
all
the
lane
with
his
bignesse
,
and
according
vnto
the
fury
which
he
brought
with
him
,
&
his
long
&
sharp
hornes
,
the
could
not
choose
but
must
néeds
be
terrible
to
behold
,
&
I
know
not
how
any
humane
hart
could
haue
had
so
much
strength
&
force
,
but
that
he
must
receyue
great
feare
&
dread
in
séeing
so
terrible
a
beast
comming
towards
him
,
&
especially
in
so
narow
a
place
as
that
was
,
wher
he
could
not
turne
himself
to
the
one
side
nor
to
the
other
,
but
of
very
force
he
must
abide
that
terrible
blow
of
the
Bull
,
yet
this
valiant
&
worthy
Knight
whose
heart
was
more
harder
then
any
Diamond
,
with
a
stout
courage
as
one
that
made
little
account
thereof
,
did
abide
the
comming
of
that
furious
bull
.
So
when
the
Bull
came
nigh
him
,
hée
bare
his
head
very
low
to
strike
him
,
but
the
Knight
layd
fast
hold
with
both
his
hands
vpon
his
sharp
hornes
,
●…
héere
was
a
thing
of
great
wonder
done
by
the
Knight
,
for
that
according
vnto
the
fury
and
violence
which
the
Bull
brought
with
him
,
it
was
sufficient
to
ouerthrow
a
tower
to
the
ground
,
but
this
mighty
Knight
which
the
great
strength
of
his
strong
armes
did
stay
his
fury
▪
although
he
made
the
Knight
to
recoyle
backwards
foure
paces
,
but
firming
su●…
his
feet
&
vsing
his
great
strength
,
he
gate
againe
the
grou●…
he
lost
,
the
Bull
when
he
felt
so
great
strength
against
him
,
began
to
roare
so
terribly
that
all
the
mountaynes
séemed
to
open
thereat
.
And
when
the
shepheards
that
were
without
did
heare
that
terrible
roaring
,
they
were
at
a
point
to
depart
thence
,
&
not
to
abide
the
comming
of
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
they
receiued
so
great
a
feare
.
Then
the
Bull
with
a
new
fury
&
violence
made
the
Knight
of
Cupid
to
recoyle
backward
again
,
in
such
sort
that
if
he
had
not
at
that
pinch
vsed
his
mighty
force
&
strength
,
he
had
ben
cleane
throwen
out
of
the
caue
,
but
his
strength
did
so
much
increase
at
that
present
,
that
forcing
the
Bull
therewith
,
he
carried
him
beefore
him
in
that
narrow
lane
,
&
the
Bull
being
not
able
to
make
resistance
against
him
,
was
carried
perforce
through
the
lane
,
till
he
came
to
a
very
faire
&
large
court
,
which
was
all
paued
with
coloured
brickes
,
which
cast
a
great
light
,
&
was
founded
vpon
great
&
mighty
pillers
of
marble
,
round
about
the
court
there
were
gallaries
meruaylously
wrought
&
very
faire
,
&
according
to
the
excellent
work
that
was
ther
,
it
gaue
him
to
vnderstand
that
there
was
other
then
humane
creatures
at
the
making
of
it
.
Héere
in
this
court
the
Knight
of
Cupid
&
the
fierce
Bull
,
the
one
did
carry
the
other
sometimes
forwards
,
somtimes
backwards
in
this
their
wrastling
,
that
it
was
wonderfull
,
eyther
of
them
procuring
all
that
euer
he
might
to
ouercome
his
aduersary
.
Then
the
Knight
thought
within
himself
that
in
that
order
he
could
little
profit
agaynst
the
Bull
,
neyther
doe
him
any
harme
,
but
determined
to
let
him
loose
&
to
assault
him
with
his
sword
,
which
when
he
had
done
he
did
repent
it
very●…
much
,
for
that
when
the
Bull
was
loose
,
he
séemed
to
be
more
terrible
then
he
was
before
,
&
retyring
backward
to
fetch
his
course
,
he
ran
against
him
with
great
fury
&
strength
,
that
the
Knight
had
inough
to
do
to
cléere
himselfe
from
his
terrible
&
mightie
blowes
.
And
although
he
did
strike
him
very
strongly
with
his
sword
,
yet
hée
dyd
the
Bull
no
more
harme
then
if
hée
had
beene
made
of
steele
and
his
sword
of
woode
,
and
after
that
he
had
proued
many
times
with
his
sword
,
and
saw
that
it
dyd
not
profit
at
all
,
but
rather
brought
himselfe
in
great
daunger
,
euery
time
that
the
Bull
came
against
him
hée
determined
to
tourne
vnto
his
first
contention
,
and
to
trauayle
all
that
euer
might
●…ee
to
ouerthrow
him
to
the
ground
.
And
so
hee
did
,
that
when
the
Bull
came
against
him
,
with
his
head
low
is
strike
him
with
his
hornes
,
bée
layde
fast
holde
vpon
him
,
and
a
new
began
their
wrastling
,
continuing
a
great
while
●…n
this
contention
,
the
one
forcing
the
other
with
all
their
strength
and
power
they
hadde
,
vp
and
downe
the
Court
.
This
conflict
endured
so
long
,
that
in
the
end
the
bull
waxed
somewhat
weary
,
at
which
time
the
Knight
when
he
perceiued
it
,
he
crossed
his
armes
,
&
wrong
the
Bulls
head
on
the
one
side
,
&
thrust
him
forwards
with
so
great
strength
that
he
ouerthrew
him
on
his
backe
to
the
ground
.
Upon
a
sodaine
the
Bull
being
ouercome
the
Sunne
was
all
darkned
,
&
the
heauens
,
in
such
sort
that
the
court
was
as
darke
as
it
had
bene
at
midnight
,
and
vpon
the
same
there
was
great
thunderings
and
lightnings
,
as
it
seemed
that
al
that
mighty
worke
would
sinke
or
be
ouerthrowen
,
and
sure
it
would
haue
bene
a
thing
verie
dreadfull
vnto
any
other
,
that
had
not
his
hart
so
stout
and
couragious
as
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
but
this
did
not
indure
long
,
for
likewise
vpon
a
sodaine
this
great
tempests
of
lightning
and
thunder
dyd
end
and
vanish
away
,
and
the
day
turned
to
be
very
fayre
and
cléere
.
At
which
time
there
appeared
vnto
the
Knight
of
Cupid
a
new
and
straunge
and
vnlooked
for
daunger
,
which
was
,
that
in
the
time
that
the
tempest
did
indure
,
this
fierce
bull
which
lay
a
long
vpon
the
ground
,
his
bowels
were
opened
in
the
middest
all
a
long
his
belly
,
and
straight
way
there
came
foorth
a
darke
and
thicke
mist
,
the
which
did
indure
a
while
,
till
such
time
as
by
little
and
little
it
dyd
consume
away
,
and
hee
saw
in
the
same
mist
in
the
middest
of
the
court
a
blacke
lumpe
that
after
the
mist
was
gone
appeared
to
be
a
great
and
fearefull
dragon
,
who
shaking
hir selfe
did
stretch
out
hir
wings
,
which
did
couer
a
great
part
of
that
court
likewise
she
stretched
forth
hir
sinued
legges
and
pawes
,
and
shewed
hir
sharpe
clawes
▪
and
opening
hir
deformed
mouth
,
she
shewed
forth
hir
tuskes
,
which
were
like
vnto
Elephants
teeth
,
and
out
of
hir
nose
and
eyes
she
threw
forth
great
flames
of
fiere
,
accompanied
with
blacke
and
thicke
smoake
,
which
made
hir
séeme
the
more
horrible
,
and
when
she
had
streched
forth
hir selfe
a
great
while
,
as
one
that
awaked
out
of
a
sound
sléepe
,
shée
arose
vpon
hir
feete
and
gaue
terrible
and
great
shrikes
,
that
she
séemed
to
bée
some
infernall
monster
,
and
straight
wayes
went
towards
the
Knight
,
&
according
to
hir
g●…at
s●…ercenesse
and
lightnesse
,
hée
had
néede
of
a
stout
and
couragious
heart
that
would
abide
and
withstand
hir
fury
,
but
the
sonne
of
Trebatio
who
was
desperate
with
loue
,
did
not
alonely
estéeme
a
little
this
horrible
and
terrible
Dragon
,
but
this
present
danger
which
was
agréeable
vnto
his
misfortune
:
and
with
a
valiant
courage
,
hée
dyd
abide
hir
comming
.
And
when
the
Dragon
would
haue
caught
him
in
hir
deformed
mouth
,
and
haue
fastned
vpon
his
shoulders
,
hir
cruell
and
sharp
nayles
,
hée
put
himselfe
on
the
one
side
with
great
lightnesse
,
and
hauing
the
Dragon
on
his
right
side
,
hée
stroke
hir
with
all
his
strength
a
terrible
blow
vppon
the
head
,
that
he
thought
verily
therewith
to
haue
parted
it
in
the
middest
,
but
the
sword
dyd
no
more
harme
on
hir
,
then
if
hee
had
stroke
vpon
a
hard
Diamond
,
and
beeing
very
much
amazed
thereat
,
hée
said
within
himselfe
,
that
all
those
things
were
infernall
and
fantasticall
,
but
hee
had
not
so
soone
made
an
ende
of
striking
the
blow
,
when
as
this
horrible
dragon
returned
vpon
him
,
and
hauing
no
tyme
to
cleere
himselfe
from
hir
,
shee
put
hir
strong
legges
vpon
his
shoulders
,
and
clasped
hir
cruell
nailes
on
his
back
,
and
gryped
him
with
so
great
strength
,
that
shée
had
passed
through
all
his
bowells
,
if
the
force
of
his
magicall
and
fine
armour
had
not
made
defence
against
hir
,
and
by
reason
that
his
armour
was
made
by
that
art
,
the
hardnesse
and
sharpnesse
of
hir
cruell
nayles
were
not
sufficient
to
pearce
them
through
,
yet
notwithstanding
this
valiant
Knight
dyd
feele
himselfe
very
sore
troubled
,
as
well
with
the
fier
and
smoke
which
shee
threw
from
hir
,
as
with
the
great
strength
wherewith
shee
dyd
gripe
him
,
and
although
hée
thrust
at
hir
with
the
poynt
of
his
sword
vnder
hir
belly
,
yet
hée
dyd
hir
no
more
harme
then
if
hée
had
stroke
vppon
a
Rock
in
this
sort
▪
the
stout
Knight
had
the
worst
of
this
contencion
,
and
was
put
in
great
perill
and
daunger
,
but
his
noble
and
stout
courage
could
not
suffer
to
see
himselfe
so
embraced
with
that
infernall
beast
▪
wherefore
letting
his
sword
fall
out
of
his
hand
,
with
his
fist
hée
strake
hir
such
a
blow
vpon
the
head
,
with
so
great
courage
and
strength
that
hee
made
all
h●…
téeth
to
chatter
together
the
one
with
the
other
,
and
béeing
therewith
somewhat
astonyed
,
she
withdrew
hir selfe
from
him
,
and
hee
then
beeing
at
lybertye
,
and
hauing
more
roome
to
profit
himselfe
with
his
strong
&
rygorous
arme
,
hee
straight
way
vppon
the
same
with
his
close
armed
fist
,
which
I
may
resemble
vnto
a
Mase
of
yron
,
stroke
the
dragon
the
second
blow
in
the
same
place
wheras
he
had
stroke
the
other
,
and
what
with
the
great
fury
wherewith
it
was
stroke
,
and
the
amazement
of
the
first
blow
,
the
scull
of
that
monster
which
was
as
hard
as
flynt
,
was
beaten
&
broken
downe
into
the
braynes
,
yet
at
this
present
the
dragon
was
not
slayne
,
but
rather
dyd
seeme
more
horrible
and
diuellish
then
beefore
,
for
beating
of
hir
wyngs
and
rysing
vp
in
the
ayre
,
shee
made
a
dreadfull
noyse
,
and
with
hir
terrible
and
long
tayle
she
beate
the
pauement
,
in
such
sort
that
all
the
court
and
the
galleries
round
about
it
did
shake
,
the
Knight
was
greatly
amazed
to
sée
hir
fiercenesse
and
infernall
fury
,
and
stoode
still
to
sée
what
would
come
thereof
,
and
by
reason
that
all
which
the
Dragon
did
was
with
the
pangs
of
death
,
in
a
small
tyme
after
shée
fell
downe
dead
,
and
o●…
a
sodayne
the
floore
dyd
open
▪
and
the
Bull
and
the
Dragon
fell
both
in
thereat
and
were
consumed
,
and
the
earth
shut
vp
againe
,
so
that
there
remayned
no
mention
of
them
.
And
when
the
Knight
of
Cupide
saw
all
these
straunge
aduentures
,
he
was
wonderfully
astonyed
at
them
,
as
on
that
had
seene
very
few
of
such
lyke
inchauntments
,
so
hée
recouered
his
sword
which
hée
threw
from
him
,
and
put
it
vp
in
his
sheath
,
and
looked
round
about
,
bee
thinking
himselfe
what
was
best
to
doe
,
and
as
hee
looked
about
him
,
hée
saw
vpon
a
wal
that
was
right
before
him
vnder
one
of
the
galleries
in
that
court
,
a
thing
which
put
him
in
great
admiration
▪
which
was
,
that
he
saw
there
portraied
his
owne
figure
and
lykenesse
,
with
the
deuice
of
his
armour
,
and
the
entering
into
the
Caue
,
and
all
that
happened
in
the
contencion
hée
had
with
the
Bull
and
the
Dragon
,
till
such
time
as
they
were
consumed
into
the
earth
,
euery
thing
perticularly
a●…
it
was
,
that
hée
himselfe
could
not
declare
it
so
perfectly
a●…
it
dyd
appeare
there
vppon
the
wall
,
and
the
Bull
and
the
Dragon
appéered
there
so
fierce
and
furious
,
as
though
they
had
béene
aliue
.
And
when
hee
had
well
perused
all
this
,
hée
sayde
within
himselfe
,
that
the
wisedome
and
knowledge
of
Artidon
was
great
,
and
remembring
the
great
passion
and
sorrow
of
loue
which
hée
passed
and
suffered
,
and
the
great
dis●…ing
and
hatred
which
hée
found
in
hir
whom
he
so
entirely
loued
,
hée
gaue
a
great
sigh
&
sayde
:
Oh
cruell
&
tyrannous
loue
,
there
is
no
wisdome
and
vnderstanding
able
to
refraine
himselfe
&
leaue
thée
,
neither
any
strength
sufficyent
to
make
resistance
against
thee
,
so
that
I
béeléeue
thy
power
and
strength
is
more
in
the
wise
and
most
ripest
of
wit
,
and
strong
of
courage
,
much
more
then
in
any
other
baler
person
:
as
the
fire
is
most
furious
of
force
béeing
made
with
strong
&
hard
timber
,
but
yet
thou
respectest
no
estate
,
neither
one
nor
other
,
neither
the
strong
nor
féeble
person
,
they
ought
not
to
paint
thée
with
thy
eyes
shut
,
for
so
much
as
all
they
which
do
serue
thee
are
blinde
,
and
thou
with
thy
shut
eyes
dost
béehold
all
theyr
sorrowes
and
troubles
,
and
giuest
them
their
payment
for
theyr
seruice
.
And
in
saying
these
words
hée
went
from
that
place
,
and
on
the
other
side
hee
saw
a
great
&
broad
payre
of
stayres
,
very
wel
wrought
,
which
went
vp
vnto
the
gallaries
,
and
it
séemed
to
bee
the
way
which
hee
should
take
,
wherefore
hée
ascended
vp
the
stayres
,
and
when
hee
came
into
the
galleries
hee
saw
that
they
were
very
broade
,
and
well
wrought
with
straunge
worke
,
&
thrée
of
those
galleries
were
on
that
side
the
court
whereas
hée
had
the
contention
with
the
monsters
,
and
on
the
other
side
toward
a
very
fayre
Orcharde
,
fresh
and
delectable
,
full
of
all
sort
of
gréene
trées
and
sweet
flowers
,
whereas
hee
heard
a
meruailous
sweet
harmony
of
many
●…yrdes
,
which
were
in
that
Orchard
,
and
on
the
other
side
of
the
Gallerie
was
there
meruaylous
great
and
straunge
buyldinges
,
and
in
the
same
Gallerie
there
was
a
doore
open
for
to
enter
into
that
worke
,
so
the
Knight
of
Cupide
entered
in
,
and
came
into
a
Quadran
:
which
appeared
very
cleere
,
bryght
,
and
fayre
,
and
on
the
one
side
thereof
there
was
a
doore
,
which
séemed
to
be
shut
on
the
inside
,
who
had
to
keepe
and
gard
the
same
a
mighty
great
and
dreadfull
Gyant
,
with
an
yron
Mase
in
his
hand
,
who
as
soone
as
hee
saw
the
Knight
,
with
both
his
hands
lift
vp
his
Mase
aboue
his
head
,
and
dyd
abide
till
such
time
as
the
Knight
should
come
vnto
him
,
with
so
terrible
countenaunce
,
that
any
man
would
haue
thought
it
great
folly
to
haue
a●…utted
●…im
,
and
ouer
the
doore
was
written
Letters
to
this
effect
.
When
this
doore
shall
bée
open
,
then
shall
the
Quéene
Artidea
bée
at
lybertie
,
and
the
entrie
heerein
shall
bee
free
vnto
all
people
.
And
when
he
had
read
it
,
he
thought
within
himselfe
▪
that
for
to
make
an
ende
of
that
aduenture
,
hée
must
néedes
haue
battayle
with
the
Gyaunt
.
And
so
without
any
more
tarrying
,
with
his
sword
in
his
hand
hee
went
towards
him
.
When
the
Gyaunt
saw
him
nigh
,
hée
discharged
from
a
lost
his
great
and
mightie
Mase
,
thinking
to
strike
the
Knight
of
Cupide
on
the
head
,
but
hée
who
alwaies
had
in
remem●…e
what
was
best
for
him
to
dooe
,
with
a
meruailous
great
lyghtnesse
leapt
on
the
one
side
▪
in
such
sort
,
that
the
●…eat
yron
mase
fell
downe
vpon
the
floore
,
and
with
the
fury
wherwith
it
was
stroke
,
it
made
all
the
pallace
to
shake
:
this
●…ghtie
blow
was
not
so
soone
giuen
,
when
that
the
worthie
Knight
threw
a
some
at
him
▪
and
stroke
him
on
the
breast
,
and
according
vnto
the
great
strength
wherwith
it
was
giuen
,
it
had
beene
sufficient
to
haue
passed
through
the
Gyants
body
,
although
hée
was
armed
with
strong
yron
,
but
his
armour
was
made
by
such
art
,
that
it
made
the
point
of
his
sword
to
double
and
bow
vnto
the
hilts
,
and
made
no
signe
therof
in
his
armour
.
Then
the
Gyant
lift
vp
his
mase
againe
to
strike
him
another
blow
but
this
valiant
Knight
séeing
the
smal
harme
that
he
could
doo
him
with
his
sword
,
determyned
to
assault
him
by
some
other
meanes
,
and
seeing
that
the
Gyant
dyd
discharge
his
blow
▪
hée
entered
in
soclose
with
him
,
that
hée
was
constrayned
to
fall
downe
on
both
his
knees
for
to
cléere
himselfe
from
the
fury
thereof
,
and
rising
vp
againe
with
great
lightnesse
,
finding
himselfe
nigh
the
Gyaunt
,
hée
threw
his
sword
from
him
,
and
with
both
his
handes
layde
fast
holde
in
the
middest
of
the
Gyaunts
Mase
,
and
pulled
at
it
with
so
great
strength
,
that
hée
pulled
it
out
of
his
hands
,
and
was
very
ioyfull
for
the
winning
thereof
.
But
as
soone
as
the
Gyaunt
had
lost
his
mase
,
vpon
a
sodaine
hée
vanished
away
that
hee
was
neuer
more
séene
,
and
the
Knight
of
Cupide
remayned
all
alone
very
much
meruailing
at
such
sodaine
and
straunge
things
as
hee
saw
there
,
and
when
he
perceiued
that
there
was
no
more
to
doo
but
to
open
the
doore
,
hee
went
to
it
and
prooued
to
open
it
,
but
hée
could
not
mooue
it
neither
on
the
one
part
nor
on
the
other
,
although
hée
put
great
strength
to
open
the
same
,
&
séeing
that
he
colde
not
profit
with
his
strength
,
hée
tooke
the
Gyants
Mase
in
his
hands
and
sayd
:
It
dooth
come
all
to
one
purpose
to
breake
thee
by
force
,
as
to
open
thée
by
policie
or
art
,
&
therewith
hee
stroke
a
mightie
blow
in
the
middest
of
the
doore
,
that
hee
brok
it
all
to
small
péeces
,
and
vpon
a
soda●…ne
at
the
same
time
hée
heard
a
great
and
terrible
noyse
of
Thunder
,
that
the
heauens
séemed
to
open
therewith
,
and
in
all
the
Kingdome
of
Russia
was
heard
that
terrible
noise
,
which
caused
all
men
to
feare
and
wonder
,
for
that
the
day
was
very
fayre
and
cléere
,
&
could
not
imagine
what
should
bee
the
occasion
to
mooue
any
such
thing
in
the
Region
of
the
Ayre
,
and
after
that
this
great
Thundering
and
noise
was
past
,
the
Knight
of
Cupide
saw
that
the
entrie
in
at
the
doore
was
cléere
,
and
without
any
impediments
,
so
hée
entered
in
thereat
and
came
into
another
Quadran
,
which
was
meruailous
bright
&
cleere
▪
onely
by
the
vertue
of
precyous
stones
which
were
very
big
,
set
round
about
the
wals
,
and
in
the
middest
of
this
Quadran
,
there
was
in
manner
of
a
stage
,
very
straungel●…e
wrought
and
round
about
it
steps
like
stayres
for
to
go
vp
vpon
,
and
vpon
the
same
stage
there
was
set
in
a
chayre
very
richlie
wrought
,
the
Queene
Artidea
who
was
very
fayre
&
royally
apparayled
,
who
le●…ned
hir
head
vpon
hir
arme
,
and
there
was
beeholding
a
Knight
of
a
very
good
countenance
and
disposition
,
who
was
all
armed
with
guilt
armour
,
and
brodered
with
precious
stones
,
kneeling
vpon
his
knees
beefore
hir
,
hauing
his
breast
open
,
shewing
vnto
the
Queene
his
bloody
heart
,
and
although
his
countenaunce
dyd
shew
him
to
be
dead
,
yet
the
wound
and
the
blood
was
so
fresh
,
as
though
at
the
same
instant
it
had
beene
done
.
This
Knight
was
the
wyse
Artidon
,
who
willingly
and
with
his
owne
handes
dyd
wound
and
open
his
breast
,
after
that
hée
had
brought
the
Queene
thether
,
at
the
houre
that
the
Knight
of
Cupide
entered
into
that
Quadran
and
saw
all
this
,
the
same
houre
was
the
inchauntment
vndone
,
and
the
Queene
was
at
lybertie
,
who
when
shée
lyft
vp
hir
eyes
and
saw
him
,
shée
straight
waies
vnderstood
that
that
Knight
had
finished
that
aduenture
,
and
set
hir
at
libertie
,
for
the
which
béeing
ioyfull
,
shée
arose
from
the
place
where
shée
was
set
,
and
when
the
Knight
of
Cupide
saw
hir
aryse
,
hée
went
towardes
h●…
.
and
dyd
salute
hir
very
curteously
,
and
shée
spake
vnto
him
saying
:
O
gentle
Knight
,
wherewith
can
I
gratifie
you
for
this
great
benefit
which
by
your
mightie
bountie
and
prowesse
this
day
I
haue
receiued
,
in
that
I
am
at
liberty
and
cléere
of
this
heauy
and
sorrowfull
prison
,
in
the
which
I
haue
béen
so
many
yéeres
,
dooing
no
other
thing
but
liue
in
continuall
sorrow
and
lamentation
for
the
death
of
this
Knight
.
Tell
me
I
pray
thée
who
thou
art
,
and
in
what
estate
doth
all
my
Kingdome
remaine
,
for
that
I
béeleeue
,
by
reason
of
the
long
tyme
that
I
haue
béene
héere
,
there
is
no
memorie
nor
mencion
of
mée
.
Then
the
Knight
of
Cupid
said
,
Lady
,
vnto
god
thou
oughtest
to
surrender
these
thancks
,
and
not
to
mee
,
for
that
hée
hath
beene
the
principal
dooer
,
and
hée
it
is
that
hath
deliuered
thee
out
of
this
Inchantment
,
and
that
which
I
of
my
part
haue
done
,
it
is
sufficient
satisfaction
,
for
that
I
haue
done
it
in
the
seruice
of
such
a
person
as
you
are
.
And
as
touching
the
rest
which
you
doo
aske
of
mée
,
you
shal
vnderstand
that
I
am
a
straunge
Knight
and
was
neuer
in
this
countrie
beefore
it
was
within
these
foure
dayes
that
I
entered
into
it
,
notwithstanding
in
this
small
tyme
I
haue
vnderstood
by
certaine
shepheards
which
I
left
héere
without
the
caue
,
that
in
all
your
kingdome
there
is
great
memory
of
you
,
and
that
they
doo
looke
for
your
retourne
daylie
,
and
since
your
first
entrie
into
this
Caue
vntill
this
daye
the
kingdome
hath
beene
in
power
of
gouernours
,
and
none
hath
beene
called
King
.
And
béeléeue
this
of
a
certaintie
,
that
your
libertie
will
bée
vnto
all
them
great
ioye
and
delyght
,
and
they
will
receyue
you
with
no
small
honour
.
The
Quéene
was
very
glad
and
dyd
reioyce
to
heare
those
words
.
And
when
shée
saw
the
excellent
beauty
of
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
who
had
the
beauer
of
his
healme
lift
vp
,
shée
was
greatly
amazed
thereat
,
and
thought
within
hir selfe
that
she
could
not
make
him
better
satisfaction
for
that
which
hée
had
done
for
hir
,
then
to
take
him
for
hir
husband
.
And
thincking
the
tyme
long
to
sée
hir selfe
cléere
out
of
that
place
▪
shée
sayde
,
that
if
hée
were
desirous
to
know
the
truth
of
any
thing
of
the
wyse
Artidon
,
that
hée
which
was
kneeling
on
his
knées
vppon
the
Scaffolde
was
the
same
,
and
that
hée
would
giue
him
the
true
and
perfect
aunswere
of
all
things
that
should
bée
demaunded
of
him
.
The
Knight
of
Cupide
who
was
very
glad
thereof
,
went
vnto
the
wyse
Artidon
,
and
sayd
.
O
gentle
Knight
and
wyse
Artidon
,
let
now
thy
misfortune
giue
comfort
vnto
my
sorrow
,
which
thou
doost
know
is
very
great
,
and
how
that
it
should
bee
vnto
mée
a
gloryous
death
,
that
in
opening
of
my
breast
,
and
shewing
my
heart
vnto
that
cruell
Lady
,
I
might
cause
hir
to
wéepe
,
and
it
were
but
one
teare
of
pittie
to
haue
compassyon
of
mée
.
Lykewyse
thou
doost
well
know
the
great
misfortune
of
the
Princesse
Briana
my
Mother
,
and
how
the
Prince
Eeward
my
Father
and
my
Lord
.
hir
spowse
was
lost
,
and
wée
could
neuer
heare
any
newes
of
him
,
and
also
my
brother
the
Gentleman
of
the
Sunne
was
lost
béeing
but
an
infant
,
and
neuer
yet
could
newes
bée
heard
of
him
,
now
heere
I
besire
thée
that
thou
dost
giue
me
some
newes
of
them
,
or
to
tell
mée
whether
they
bée
alyue
or
dead
,
or
whether
I
shall
goe
to
séeke
them
,
for
that
whatsoeuer
thou
shalt
tell
mee
,
I
shall
hold
it
for
a
truth
,
and
when
thou
hast
satisfied
mee
of
the
truth
heerof
,
then
I
will
desire
thée
to
tell
mee
some
newes
of
that
which
passeth
in
the
court
of
King
Oliuerio
,
and
as
for
the
Princesse
Oliuia
my
mistresse
,
I
know
well
that
I
doo
not
deserue
to
know
any
thing
of
hir
.
And
when
hee
had
made
an
end
of
saying
these
words
,
straight
wayes
the
wyse
man
dyd
open
his
eyes
,
&
dyd
looke
vpon
the
Knight
of
Cupide
,
and
when
hée
had
wel
beholden
him
,
hée
answered
and
sayde
:
Worthie
Knight
of
Cupide
,
thou
oughtest
to
haue
thy selfe
in
great
estimation
,
for
that
thou
hast
finished
and
made
an
ende
of
this
aduenture
,
the
which
many
could
not
haue
done
,
although
they
were
both
mightie
and
worthie
Knights
that
haue
come
hether
,
and
giuen
the
enterprise
of
the
same
,
although
they
haue
done
other
wonderfull
and
great
déedes
of
armes
,
for
the
great
compassion
which
thou
hast
hadde
of
my
death
I
giue
thée
thanks
therefore
,
and
in
reward
of
the
same
I
will
tel
thée
straunge
and
secret
things
,
which
shall
giue
thée
great
contentment
,
touching
that
which
thou
hast
demanded
of
mée
of
the
Prince
Edward
,
&
of
thy
brother
.
And
in
saying
these
wordes
hée
tolde
him
perticularly
all
the
whole
Historie
of
the
great
Emperour
Trebatio
,
from
the
first
time
that
he
was
in
loue
with
the
Princesse
Briana
,
till
such
time
as
hée
went
out
of
the
Castle
of
Lindaraza
,
by
the
high
prowesse
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
&
how
he
went
in
his
company
into
Hungaria
,
and
how
hee
carryed
the
Princesse
into
his
Emp●…re
of
Grecia
.
So
likewise
hée
tolde
him
how
that
mightie
and
valiaunt
Knight
who
tooke
the
Emperour
Trebatio
his
Father
out
of
the
inchanted
Castell
,
was
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
of
whom
hée
was
succoured
,
béeing
at
the
poynt
of
death
in
the
Iland
of
Candramarte
,
and
how
it
was
that
Gentleman
of
the
Sunne
his
brother
,
who
beeing
a
yong
intant
was
lost
at
the
Monestarie
of
the
Riuer
,
who
at
this
present
is
a
Pagan
and
dooth
lyue
in
the
law
of
the
Gentiles
,
for
that
hée
hath
béene
brought
vp
amongst
Pagans
,
and
dooth
not
know
whose
sonne
hée
is
,
although
hee
hath
ben
in
Hungaria
,
in
the
court
of
his
grandfather
,
the
King
Tiberio
▪
&
hath
done
so
high
&
mighty
deeds
of
Knighthood
,
as
euer
hath
ben
seene
or
heard
of
.
When
the
Knight
of
Cupid
heard
al
this
,
he
receyued
very
great
content
&
was
very
glad
that
the
long
&
heauy
sorrow
of
the
Princesse
his
mother
was
remedyed
,
the
which
did
giue
hir
●…ally
no
small
sorrow
&
griefe
.
And
being
in
this
delight
the
wise
man
procéeded
forwards
in
his
talke
and
sayd
.
Touching
the
newes
that
thou
do●…st
aske
of
me
of
the
Court
of
the
King
Oliuerio
,
I
giue
thee
to
vnderstand
that
all
which
at
this
present
they
doe
intreat
of
there
,
is
,
that
the
Prince
of
Lusitania
is
very
much
in
loue
with
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
and
hath
demaunded
hir
of
the
King
hir
Father
for
spouse
,
&
the
King
hath
promised
him
the
graunt
therof
,
and
what
shall
happen
therof
I
cannot
●…ell
,
neyther
what
the
Princesse
Oliuia
doth
pretend
therin
,
for
that
to
me
there
is
not
graunted
so
much
liberty
as
to
discouer
or
declare
the
secrets
of
harts
,
neyther
of
that
which
hath
passed
at
this
present
.
And
now
pardon
me
for
that
I
cannot
aunswere
thée
vnto
any
other
thing
whatsoeuer
thou
wilt
demaund
of
me
.
And
in
saying
these
words
the
wise
Artidon
did
close
vp
his
eyes
,
&
remayned
dead
as
before
.
But
when
the
Knight
of
Cupid
vnderstood
what
hée
sayde
touching
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
his
bloud
wared
cold
in
his
body
,
&
all
the
pleasure
which
before
he
receiued
,
was
now
turned
into
heauinesse
,
&
hauing
no
power
to
dissemble
any
longer
,
he
cast
vp
his
eyes
vnto
the
heauens
and
vttered
words
of
great
lamentation
,
and
with
so
terrible
sighinges
and
complayntes
,
that
the
Quéene
Artidea
,
who
was
beholding
him
,
hadde
great
compassion
of
his
sorrow
.
And
beeing
in
this
griefe
,
hée
heard
a
great
noyse
of
people
which
were
comming
vp
the
stayres
into
the
Gallerye
:
And
looking
what
it
should
bée
,
hée
saw
the
Shepheards
that
remayned
without
the
caue
abiding
his
successe
,
who
when
they
perceyued
that
hee
tarried
so
long
,
and
came
●…r
foorth
,
and
agayne
hearing
the
great
noyse
of
the
battayle
of
the
Bull
,
as
also
when
the
Dragon
was
ingendered
,
they
were
greatly
amazed
,
whervpon
two
of
them
went
to
carry
these
newes
vnto
the
Prince
Luziro
,
who
was
in
a
citie
but
a
mile
from
that
place
.
And
in
the
meane
time
that
these
two
Shepheards
were
declaring
vnto
the
Prince
all
that
they
heard
,
after
that
the
Knight
had
entred
into
the
caue
,
at
that
instant
was
heard
that
great
&
terrible
thundering
which
was
made
when
the
Knight
of
Cupid
brake
the
doore
of
the
inchaunted
Quadran
,
with
the
yron
male
of
the
Giant
,
at
which
time
the
Quéene
was
set
at
liberty
,
which
when
the
Prince
&
all
his
Knights
heard
that
terrible
&
wonderfull
noyse
,
they
all
suspected
that
that
Knight
had
broke
vp
&
vndone
that
Inchauntment
and
straunge
aduenture
of
the
caue
,
for
that
it
was
told
him
by
many
wise
men
,
that
in
his
time
the
Quéene
should
be
discharged
&
set
at
liberty
.
So
strayght
way
the
Prince
tooke
his
horse
,
&
being
accompanyed
with
many
noble
Knights
he
came
vnto
the
ca●…e
,
and
when
he
came
thether
he
saw
that
the
letters
that
were
wont
to
be
there
were
altered
,
&
other
letters
conteyning
these
words
in
their
place
.
This
aduenture
was
finished
by
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
who
did
set
at
liberty
the
Quéene
Artidea
,
and
in
remembraunce
therof
ther
doth
remaine
within
the
wise
Artidon
,
of
whom
all
those
that
are
touched
with
amorous
passions
,
may
passe
the
flames
of
fire
without
any
impediment
,
and
know
of
him
all
that
euer
they
will
aske
.
When
the
Prince
and
all
those
that
came
with
him
had
read
that
writing
,
they
were
meruaylous
glad
and
ioyful
,
and
thought
long
to
see
the
Queene
,
and
the
Knight
that
had
set
hir
at
liberty
.
And
without
any
more
tarrying
they
entered
in
through
the
flames
of
fire
,
and
for
that
the
most
part
of
them
were
young
men
&
louers
,
they
passed
in
quiet
without
any
〈◊〉
of
the
fire
,
and
went
forwardes
on
till
they
came
into
the
court
,
&
there
they
did
all
of
them
behold
the
w●…ll
,
wheron
was
portrayed
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
making
his
battayles
with
the
Bull
,
Dragon
,
&
Gyant
,
which
was
wonderfull
to
be
séene
,
as
well
for
the
flercenes
and
straungenes
of
the
battailes
,
as
for
the
great
subt●…itye
and
art
that
was
in
the
setting
forth
of
the
story
vpon
the
wall
.
After
that
they
had
well
perused
the
same
,
they
went
forwards
vp
the
stayres
and
came
into
the
galleries
.
This
was
the
noyse
that
the
queene
&
the
Knight
of
Cupid
heard
,
&
tarrying
to
sée
what
it
should
be
,
the
Prince
of
Luziro
,
accompanied
with
all
his
Knights
entered
into
the
quadran
,
&
when
they
saw
the
queene
,
whom
the
Knight
of
Cupid
had
by
the
hand
they
were
greatly
amazed
to
see
hir
so
faire
&
beautifull
,
&
when
they
came
vnto
hir
,
they
asked
hir
hands
to
kisse
them
,
&
told
hir
who
they
were
.
When
the
Queene
vnderstood
he
was
the
Prince
Luziro
,
who
was
gouernour
of
the
realme
in
hir
absence
,
she
was
very
glad
and
ioyfull
,
and
intertayned
him
with
a
very
good
grace
,
and
asked
of
him
how
he
did
know
that
the
aduenture
was
furnished
,
because
he
came
so
quicklie
thether
.
And
then
he
told
vnto
hir
what
the
shepheards
had
declared
to
him
,
and
of
the
great
noise
of
thunder
which
they
heard
,
he
affirmed
that
to
be
the
occasion
that
they
came
thether
so
soone
,
and
after
that
the
Prince
had
talked
with
the
queene
,
he
turned
vnto
the
Knight
and
did
imbrace
him
,
receiuing
him
with
wordes
of
great
curtesie
&
friendship
,
who
was
like
wise
greatly
astonied
at
his
mightie
&
faire
countenaunce
,
which
was
agréeable
vnto
his
great
curtesie
&
courage
▪
shewed
in
that
aduenture
,
&
being
very
desirous
to
know
who
that
stout
&
valiant
Knight
should
be
,
they
requested
the
queene
to
demaund
it
of
him
,
&
for
that
the
Quéene
heard
that
which
the
wise
Artidon
had
said
vnto
him
,
she
strayght
waies
declared
that
he
was
the
Emperours
son
of
Greece
,
&
wondering
very
much
thereat
,
they
could
not
but
looke
&
behold
him
with
great
affection
.
So
after
that
among
them
ther
had
,
passed
many
curt●…ous
wordes
,
the
Prince
Luziro
and
all
the
rest
that
came
with
him
,
dyd
indeauour
themselues
to
béeholde
the
straunge
thinges
of
that
inchaunted
Quadran
.
And
when
they
saw
the
wise
.
Artidon
with
his
breast
open
in
such
sort
that
they
might
discouer
his
hart
,
they
wer
moued
&
had
great
compassion
on
him
,
&
did
very
much
extoll
&
prayse
his
wisdome
&
bounty
,
in
that
he
would
rather
dye
then
profite
himselfe
of
the
Quéene
agaynst
hyr
will
.
And
when
they
had
viewed
all
things
that
was
to
bée
séene
,
they
went
forth
of
that
inchaunted
Quadran
,
&
descended
into
the
fayre
&
broad
court
,
&
returned
a
new
and
beheld
that
timerous
battayle
which
was
ther
figured
,
&
would
not
beléeue
that
in
any
humane
Knight
there
should
be
so
much
force
&
strength
,
as
was
shewed
to
be
vsed
in
those
battayles
.
So
that
after
they
had
wel
debated
the
matter
touching
the
valiantnesse
of
that
worthy
knight
,
they
all
together
went
forth
of
the
caue
,
&
went
vnto
the
city
,
wheras
that
fayre
Quéene
was
receyned
with
great
honour
&
admiration
of
all
people
,
&
within
a
few
dayes
after
the
Quéene
and
the
Prince
Luziro
were
made
sure
together
,
&
at
theyr
Marriage
there
was
made
great
feasts
&
triumphs
.
And
héere
the
historye
doth
leaue
them
at
this
present
,
for
to
tell
you
of
two
worthy
&
estéemed
Princes
Brandizell
and
Clauerindo
,
whom
we
left
in
the
court
of
the
King
of
Polonia
.
How
the
two
Princes
Brandizell
and
Clauerindo
departed
from
the
Kingdome
of
Polonia
,
and
came
into
the
Kingdome
of
Fraunce
,
and
of
all
the
rest
that
happened
.
Chap.

NOw
wée
must
call
to
remembraunce
those
two
valiaunt
Princes
Brandizell
and
Clauerindo
,
whom
wée
left
in
the
Kingdome
of
Polonia
,
wheras
the
Prince
Brandizel
was
well
beloued
of
the
Princesse
Clarinea
,
after
that
he
had
deliuered
hir
out
of
the
power
of
the
Giant
.
Now
the
the
history
sayth
that
after
these
two
Princes
had
soiourned
ther
certaine
dayes
,
they
asked
lisence
of
the
King
to
depart
,
for
that
they
had
great
desire
to
goe
&
seeke
out
their
friend
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
without
whom
they
could
not
bee
in
quiet
one
houre
.
Likewise
the
Prince
Clauerindo
had
great
desire
to
goe
and
know
his
parents
,
and
although
that
the
King
was
very
sorrowfull
for
their
departure
,
yet
he
could
not
deny
them
,
but
granted
them
leaue
,
&
did
offer
vnto
them
very
many
&
rich
gifts
,
but
the
two
Princes
would
receiue
nothing
of
him
.
So
one
day
beefore
they
should
depart
,
the
Prince
Brandizel
had
opportunitie
to
talke
with
the
Princesse
,
and
in
the
end
of
great
communication
that
passed
betwixt
them
of
loue
,
he
tooke
his
leue
of
hir
,
&
promised
hyr
to
returne
againe
into
that
Countrie
with
as
much
speed
as
might
be
.
Then
these
two
Princes
departed
,
&
in
their
companie
Armineo
,
vnckle
vnto
the
Prince
,
and
went
towards
the
sea
,
&
being
entred
into
their
shippe
,
they
began
to
nauigate
towards
the
Kingdome
of
Fraunce
,
&
that
coast
bare
out
from
the
Ocean
sea
towards
the
Septentrion
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
they
trauailed
fiftéene
or
sixteene
dayes
,
without
happening
vnto
them
any
thing
worth
the
telling
,
till
the
seuenteenth
day
they
ariued
in
a
very
faire
and
pleasaunt
Port
of
Normandie
,
which
was
vnto
them
all
their
great
ioy
and
pleasure
,
but
in
especiall
vnto
Armineo
,
for
that
knowing
the
Countrye
hee
wept
with
great
ioy
,
for
that
hee
was
returned
againe
into
it
,
&
there
they
heard
newes
of
Oristeo
,
&
of
the
Quéene
Olindia
,
who
were
at
that
present
in
the
famous
Citie
of
Paris
,
and
were
very
sad
&
sorrowfull
,
for
that
they
could
neuer
heare
any
newes
of
theyr
sonne
the
Prince
Clauerindo
,
nor
of
his
vnkle
Armineo
.
Then
they
accounted
together
among
them selues
what
was
best
to
be
done
,
and
in
the
end
of
many
debates
they
thought
it
best
and
did
conclude
,
that
before
they
went
to
Paris
,
or
gaue
the
King
to
vnderstand
any
thing
of
their
arriuall
they
would
goe
and
proue
the
aduentures
in
that
Kingdome
,
and
atchieuing
some
of
them
,
it
might
bée
the
occasion
that
they
should
bée
knowen
with
more
〈◊〉
.
●…nd
according
therevnto
they
prepared
all
thiinges
,
and
for
the
space
of
thrée
noneths
they
went
through
all
the
countries
,
&
did
many
&
wonderfull
déedes
of
armes
,
by
the
which
they
got
so
great
fame
,
that
they
had
no
other
talke
in
all
the
Kingdome
,
but
of
the
two
Knights
with
Flower
de
Luces
,
for
that
either
of
them
had
for
his
deuise
a
Flower
de
Luce
,
&
for
that
the
King
Oristeo
was
informed
many
times
of
the
great
Knighthood
of
these
two
Knights
,
hée
had
much
desire
to
see
&
know
them
,
that
he
might
doe
them
honour
.
So
after
that
these
two
Princes
had
in
this
time
trauailed
all
the
whole
land
,
they
concluded
betwixt
them
to
goe
vnto
Paris
&
ther
first
before
they
made
themselues
to
be
knowen
vnto
the
King
,
to
maintaine
a
iust
for
the
space
of
two
moneths
,
&
to
put
for
the
price
therof
a
very
faire
tent
,
which
was
giuen
them
by
the
wise
Lirgandeo
▪
that
was
so
strange
and
rich
,
that
the
like
was
not
to
bée
found
.
Now
when
they
came
vnto
the
Citie
▪
they
straight
way
went
vnto
the
Tyl●…
yeard
,
which
was
right
before
the
Kings
pallace
,
&
ther
they
commaunded
their
rich
Tent
to
be
armed
,
&
sent
an
Embassage
vnto
the
King
Oristeo
giuing
him
to
vnderstand
of
their
comming
,
&
crauing
pardon
for
that
they
did
not
their
duty
in
going
to
kisse
his
handes
,
till
such
time
as
those
iustes
which
they
had
ordained
were
finished
.
When
the
King
heard
thereof
,
he
was
very
glad
,
and
reioyced
,
as
one
that
hadde
great
desire
to
know
so
good
Knightes
as
they
were
,
and
agayne
to
see
some
of
theyr
great
bounty
and
valiauntnesse
,
which
hath
béene
tolde
him
.
And
there
with
hée
retourned
them
thankes
for
their
Embassage
,
and
sent
them
word
that
hée
receiued
great
pleasure
,
that
such
Knightes
as
they
were
come
vnto
his
Court
,
and
if
it
were
so
that
they
had
néede
or
lacke
any
thing
,
hée
would
commaund
them
to
hée
furnished
of
all
necessaries
.
To
conclude
,
for
that
this
Historye
cannot
song
remaine
héerein
,
for
that
which
is
to
be
spoken
of
the
Gran
Trebatio
&
his
Sonnes
,
wholie
I
doe
passe
ouer
all
the
wonderfull
déedes
of
these
two
Princes
,
but
yet
they
say
that
in
the
space
of
two
monethes
these
two
Princes
did
maintayne
theyr
iust
,
that
there
was
not
in
all
Fraunce
a
Knight
of
estimacion
&
valure
,
but
was
euerthrowen
by
these
Princes
in
the
presence
of
the
King
&
Quéene
,
who
were
daily
at
the
windowes
to
behold
them
,
&
thought
that
in
the
world
could
not
be
two
Knights
of
more
force
&
strength
But
the
King
was
somewhat
sorrowfull
in
himself
,
and
thought
it
a
great
dishonour
to
his
court
,
for
that
there
was
not
one
Knight
of
valure
,
but
all
were
ouerthromen
by
the
other
,
but
this
sorrow
&
griefe
endured
but
a
while
,
for
that
the
last
day
of
the
iusts
the
Prince
Clauerindo
dyd
make
himselfe
knowen
,
as
in
the
chapter
following
shall
bée
told
you
.
¶
How
the
two
Princes
Brandizell
and
Clauerindo
being
in
the
Citie
of
Paris
,
there
came
thether
a
Giant
called
Brandafu●…el
,
with
whom
the
Prince
Clauerindo
had
a
verye
strong
and
furious
battayle
.

THE
great
fame
which
these
two
Princes
gate
in
the
iusts
that
they
did
maintaine
in
the
Citie
of
Paris
,
was
such
,
that
not
only
the
Knights
of
the
kingdome
,
but
also
diuers
Knightes
of
other
prouinces
&
countries
dyd
come
to
proue
themselues
with
them
,
and
as
it
is
a
common
thing
the
fame
,
&
in
especiall
of
such
not
able
iusts
,
doe
flie
abroad
into
all
parts
.
It
happened
at
that
time
ther
dwelt
in
a
litle
Iland
in
the
Ocean
sea
,
néere
vnto
Normadie
,
a
Gyant
called
Brandafuriel
,
of
a
very
great
stature
&
deformed
,
with
whom
the
King
Oristeo
was
glad
to
hold
friendship
&
peace
,
for
the
great
damage
and
harme
which
he
did
vpon
the
sea
at
all
times
when
it
pleased
him
.
And
for
that
this
Iland
was
compassed
with
high
&
mightye
Rockes
,
which
made
it
so
strong
,
that
all
his
power
wer
not
sufficient
for
to
doe
him
anye
harme
,
hée
beeing
within
,
when
the
fame
of
these
two
Knights
which
were
in
Paris
,
came
vnto
the
Gyants
eares
,
and
of
the
rich
Tent
that
was
prepared
for
the
prise
of
this
Iust
,
it
strayght
wayes
gaue
him
a
desire
to
goe
thether
,
as
one
that
was
certaine
that
ten
such
Knights
as
they
were
,
were
not
sufficient
to
defend
the
Tent
▪
but
that
by
his
prowesse
he
must
bring
it
away
▪
And
to
execute
his
determination
,
he
strayght
way
departed
from
the
citie
of
Paris
,
&
caryed
in
his
company
to
the
number
of
ten
Knights
:
and
came
thether
one
day
before
that
the
two
moneths
of
the
Iusts
did
end
,
wheras
the
two
Princes
were
doing
of
meruailous
deedes
of
armes
.
And
as
the
great
place
was
full
of
Knights
,
as
well
straungers
,
as
those
naturally
borne
in
that
Kingdome
:
at
which
time
the
great
&
furious
Gyaunt
entred
in
amongst
them
,
bidding
them
to
make
him
way
,
with
a
loud
&
terible
voice
.
And
when
they
saw
him
so
great
&
ill
fauored
,
they
al
feared
him
,
&
made
him
a
large
&
brode
way
,
that
he
might
passe
forwards
.
And
when
the
Ciaunt
saw
the
rich
Tent
where
it
was
,
hee
went
towards
it
and
did
behold
it
with
great
admiration
,
and
it
〈◊〉
onto
him
to
be
very
rich
and
straunge
:
and
after
〈◊〉
he
●…ad
satisfied
himselfe
with
the
sight
thereof
,
hee
said
:
which
bee
the
Knights
which
doth
defende
this
Tent.
The
Prince
Clauerindo
,
who
was
nighest
vnto
him
sayd
:
I
am
hee
that
doth
defend
it
,
with
an
other
Knight
my
companion
▪
therefore
say
what
thy
pleasure
is
.
That
which
I
will
say
said
the
Gyant
,
is
,
That
where
you
are
but
two
Knights
for
to
defend
it
,
I
would
you
were
twentie
together
.
For
winning
of
it
it
will
be
vnto
me
more
honor
to
win
it
of
twentie
,
then
of
two
alone
Knights
.
But
séeing
that
you
are
no
more
,
come
on
let
vs
goe
vnto
the
battayle
:
and
come
both
of
you
against
mée
.
For
that
with
one
alone
blow
I
will
hoyse
you
both
out
of
your
saddles
,
the
one
of
you
with
my
la●…ce
▪
an●…
for
other
I
will
take
him
vnder
my
arme
.
The
Prince
Clanerindo
was
very
much
offended
and
angry
at
〈◊〉
pride
of
the
Gyaunt
▪
&
answered
him
saying
.
It
is
alwaies
the
custome
of
you
Giants
,
to
abound
in
to
●…h
arogancie
and
pride
,
which
maketh
mée
not
verie
much
to
maruaile
,
of
any
thing
that
thou
hast
saide
.
Therefore
take
vnto
thée
thy
speare
,
and
I
alone
will
defend
the
tent
from
thee
.
And
if
thou
dost
ouerthrow
mee
from
my
horse
,
the
Tent
shall
bée
thine
,
without
any
deniall
of
mee
or
my
companion
.
The
Gyaunt
when
hee
saw
him-selfe
so
little
estemed
of
one
Knight
,
he
was
so
full
of
fury
and
wrath
,
that
hée
could
not
refraine
his
yre
,
but
drew
out
a
mighty
great
and
broud
fauchon
which
was
hanging
at
his
girdell
,
and
went
to
strike
the
Prince
Clauerindo
vppon
the
healme
,
thincking
there-with
to
cleaue
him
downe
vnto
the
wast
.
But
the
Prince
who
was
a
very
stout
and
pollitike
Knight
,
and
in
many
things
dyd
resemble
his
friend
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
beefore
that
the
Faulchin
could
execute
the
Gyaunts
determination
,
hee
gaue
a
great
leap
with
his
horse
on
the
one
side
,
that
the
Gyaunt
lost
his
blow
,
and
it
was
sticke
in
vaine
.
And
by
reason
that
the
blow
descended
right
downe
,
hee
stroke
his
owne
horse
vpon
the
head
,
that
hée
cloue
it
in
two
peeces
▪
and
hee
fell
downe
dead
to
the
ground
with
his
maister
▪
so
that
the
Gyant
could
not
rise
vp
againe
without
great
paine
and
griefe
,
for
that
the
horse
in
his
fall
caught
the
Gyaunts
leg
vnder
him
.
The
King
and
all
that
dyd
behold
them
,
fell
in
a
laughter
,
and
had
great
pleasure
in
that
which
the
Gyant
had
done
:
Although
his
comming
thether
was
a
great
griefe
vnto
manie
.
For
according
vnto
the
great
fame
which
he
had
in
those
parts
,
they
thought
verely
that
the
two
Knights
could
not
haue
sufficient
force
and
might
for
to
defend
the
Tent
,
but
that
hee
would
win
it
and
carrie
it
away
.
When
the
Gyaunt
saw
himselfe
without
a
horse
,
with
great
yre
hee
arose
vp
and
went
towardes
the
Prince
▪
who
with
a
trice
leaped
from
his
horse
back
▪
for
that
hee
would
haue
no
aduantage
of
him
,
&
drew
out
his
sword
and
did
abide
his
comming
:
so
that
beetwixt
them
there
began
●…
very
angry
and
well
foughten
battaile
,
striking
on
euery
●…e
,
that
it
was
strange
&
wonderful
to
beehold
.
The
prince
Clauerindo
was
mighty
of
person
&
well
proportioned
,
light
and
strong
,
beesides
all
this
,
hee
had
his
a●…monr
made
and
tempered
by
art
magicke
,
which
was
giuen
him
by
the
wise
Lirgandeo
,
of
the
which
hée
was
sure
that
whatsoeuer
blow
his
aduersary
dyd
fasten
vppon
him
,
it
should
not
hurt
him
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
although
the
Gyaunt
were
of
much
more
force
,
yet
hée
should
maintayne
himselfe
verie
wel
against
him
and
make
him
to
abate
his
great
arrogansie
and
pride
.
And
by
reason
that
the
Gyant
was
bigge
and
heauy
,
the
Prince
did
strike
him
at
all
times
at
his
pleasure
,
and
many
times
hée
did
cut
his
armour
and
flesh
,
whereat
issued
out
great
abundance
of
blood
.
The
King
and
all
those
that
did
béeholde
the
battaile
,
greatly
maruailed
at
the
prowesse
of
that
Knight
,
but
aboue
all
,
his
vnckle
Armineo
,
was
very
glad
and
ioyfull
,
that
hée
made
his
partie
so
good
in
the
battaile
,
&
said
within
himselfe
,
that
it
hée
dyd
perseuer
and
bring
it
vnto
a
good
ende
,
that
with
great
honour
the
Prince
might
discouer
him selfe
vnto
his
Parents
:
and
dyd
pray
to
God
with
all
his
hart
to
aide
and
help
him
in
that
battaile
,
for
that
it
continewed
still
very
dangerous
and
full
of
perill
.
For
that
thi●…
great
and
furious
Gyaunt
when
hée
saw
that
his
Fauchon
could
not
enter
,
nor
deminish
the
armour
of
his
aduersarie
▪
Hee
dyd
procure
all
that
euer
hée
could
for
to
strike
him
vppon
the
healme
to
astonish
him
,
for
that
hee
neuer
chansed
to
strike
him
vppon
the
Healme
,
but
that
hee
made
him
sometimes
to
bow
his
knées
to
the
ground
,
and
other
times
to
stoope
with
his
hand
to
keepe
himselfe
from
falling
,
in
such
sort
that
the
battaile
was
in
ballance
very
doubtfull
,
for
more
then
an
houre
,
that
there
was
knowen
no
vauntage
béetwixt
them
,
but
onely
that
the
Gyant
was
wounded
,
and
the
Prince
not
.
It
was
a
great
incouraging
vnto
the
prince
Clauerindo
,
to
sée
himselfe
in
presence
of
his
Parentes
,
and
hoped
that
very
shortly
he
would
giue
them
to
vnderstand
thereof
.
And
this
was
the
occasion
that
made
him
to
bee
the
more
furyous
against
his
enimie
.
The
Gyant
when
hée
saw
himselfe
wounded
,
and
all
the
ground
be
sprinckled
with
his
blood
,
hée
greatly
wondred
at
the
strength
and
resistance
of
his
enemie
:
and
finding
all
things
cleane
contrary
vnto
his
expectation
before
hee
began
the
battell
,
h●…
was
almost
ashamed
,
yet
hée
béeléeued
that
the
state
of
his
victorie
dyd
remaine
onely
in
the
striking
of
one
full
blow
vpon
the
Helme
of
his
aduersary
.
And
therewith
hee
tooke
his
great
Fauchon
in
both
his
hands
,
and
went
towards
the
prince
,
making
a
show
as
though
hee
should
strike
him
vpon
the
heade
,
whereat
the
Prince
stooped
on
the
one
side
,
and
the
Gyaunt
dyd
stay
the
striking
of
his
blow
,
till
afterward
vnaduisedly
at
his
pleasure
,
he
stroke
him
vpon
the
Inchanted
Healme
,
that
it
made
all
them
that
looked
on
,
to
maruaile
how
hée
could
sustaine
or
suffer
such
wonderfull
fury
,
for
that
it
was
sufficient
to
haue
cloue
a
great
rock
asunder
,
but
by
reason
of
the
vertue
of
his
armour
,
made
by
that
wyse
Lyrgandeo
for
such
necessities
,
that
the
Prince
receiued
no
damage
of
that
furious
blow
:
but
by
the
great
strength
wherewith
it
was
giuen
,
hee
thought
verely
all
his
skull
had
béene
broken
to
péeces
,
and
therewith
hée
bowed
his
knées
to
the
ground
,
remayning
for
a
good
space
all
astonied
,
that
hée
could
not
arise
vp
.
When
the
furious
Gyant
saw
him
in
that
trance
,
hée
turned
againe
and
lift
vp
his
mightie
Fauchon
and
stroke
him
an
other
blow
in
the
verie
same
place
,
and
by
reason
that
with
the
other
blow
his
fauchon
was
crased
with
the
force
and
strength
of
the
second
blow
,
it
brake
in
thrée
péeces
,
in
such
sort
,
that
there
remayned
in
his
hands
but
onely
the
hilt
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
the
blow
dyd
no
harme
,
otherwise
it
had
cost
him
his
lyfe
,
and
with
the
noyse
thereof
hée
came
vnto
himselfe
,
and
arose
vp
somewhat
amazed
,
and
with
the
furie
of
that
great
blow
,
hee
dyd
not
see
that
the
Gyaunt
was
without
a
Sword
,
but
entred
in
with
him
in
a
great
rage
,
and
stroke
him
such
an
ouerthwrat
blow
vpon
the
thigh
,
that
hée
cut
his
armour
and
flesh
vnto
the
hard
bone
:
of
the
which
the
Gyaunt
felt
himselfe
verie
euill
.
The
Gyant
séeing
himselfe
without
wepon
,
he
wold
haue
entred
in
with
his
enimy
,
to
haue
caught
him
in
his
armes
.
but
the
Prince
vnderstanding
his
pretence
,
recoyling
back
threw
a
foyne
at
him
,
which
chaunced
on
his
beauer
which
was
broken
,
and
thrust
him
thorough
and
through
the
head
,
wherewith
this
firce
and
vglie
Brandafuriell
fell
downe
dead
to
the
ground
,
it
was
vnto
all
them
that
dyd
béeholds
what
passed
,
a
great
admyration
and
wonder
,
when
they
saw
so
sterce
and
mighty
a
Gyaunt
,
who
in
all
those
parts
was
greatly
dreaded
&
feared
,
in
so
short
space
ouerthrowen
and
slayne
,
by
one
onely
Knight
,
and
for
that
the
King
could
not
away
with
him
for
certayne
angers
and
griefes
which
continually
hée
dyd
vnto
him
,
hee
was
very
glad
and
receiued
great
ioy
for
his
death
,
and
thought
long
to
know
the
Knight
who
had
done
that
valyaunt
and
worthie
deede
,
being
certified
within
himselfe
,
that
there
was
not
a
Knight
in
all
the
world
lyke
vnto
him
in
courage
and
strength
.
When
the
Prince
Clauerindo
saw
himselfe
cleere
of
that
monstrous
Gyant
,
hée
lifted
vp
his
eyes
to
heauen
and
gaue
great
thankes
vnto
the
almightie
God
,
and
put
his
sword
into
his
sheath
,
and
went
towardes
the
Prince
Brandizell
&
Armineo
his
vnckle
,
who
receiued
him
with
great
pleasure
and
ioye
,
séeing
the
honour
&
prayse
which
hee
had
won
in
that
place
,
and
said
amongst
themselues
that
it
was
not
then
time
to
kéepe
them
any
longer
vnknowen
,
but
great
reason
to
discouer
themselues
.
And
therewith
they
all
thrée
together
went
towards
the
place
wheras
the
King
and
the
Queene
were
,
accompanied
with
all
the
principall
Knights
of
the
Court
,
and
when
they
came
beefore
them
,
without
taking
of
their
healme
,
they
dyd
their
duetie
and
reuerence
,
the
King
receiued
them
verie
gladlie
,
and
reioyced
much
with
them
.
Them
Armineo
beegan
to
speake
and
saide
.
Most
mightie
King
,
you
shall
vnderstand
that
these
Knights
are
come
from
straunge
Countries
vnto
this
thy
court
,
not
so
much
to
get
honour
héere
amongst
thy
Knights
as
to
giue
thée
certaine
newes
,
at
the
which
thou
wilt
receiue
great
ioy
and
contentment
,
which
are
concerning
thy
sonne
the
Prince
Clauerindo
,
who
many
yeeres
past
was
lost
,
beeing
carried
away
by
a
great
rouer
from
his
Countrie
,
who
at
this
present
is
a
liue
and
doth
very
well
,
and
is
waxed
such
a
Knight
,
that
in
the
whole
world
you
haue
very
few
lyke
vnto
him
,
and
in
company
with
him
is
his
vnckle
Armineo
,
with
no
small
desire
to
come
and
sée
thee
,
and
euer
since
they
were
taken
by
that
Rouer
,
they
haue
béene
alwaies
together
,
and
as
wée
doo
vnderstand
they
wil
not
bée
long
from
hence
.
The
King
when
hée
heard
these
ioyfull
newes
,
with
a
loude
voyce
sayde
:
Oh
mighty
God
,
is
it
possible
that
my
Sonne
Clauerindo
and
my
Brother
Armineo
bée
aliue
,
and
that
there
hath
béene
in
my
court
who
hath
seene
them
,
and
neuer
tould
mée
till
now
,
and
so
long
time
past
.
And
in
saying
these
words
hée
turned
vnto
Armineo
and
said
:
Gentle
Knight
,
séeing
that
you
haue
brought
mée
so
ioyfull
newes
,
I
pray
you
also
tell
mée
where
you
dyd
leaue
them
,
that
I
may
send
to
séeke
them
,
so
shall
I
haue
my
ioye
wholy
fulfilled
.
It
shall
not
néede
that
your
highnes
doo
send
to
séeke
them
said
Armineo
,
for
that
they
are
within
the
Kingdome
of
Fraunce
,
and
will
bée
héere
very
shortly
.
When
Armineo
had
sayde
these
words
,
the
King
was
in
a
great
doubt
whether
this
which
the
Knight
had
told
him
was
true
,
and
whether
hée
spake
it
in
manner
of
mockage
.
The
Quéene
who
was
present
when
shée
heard
these
words
,
thought
it
a
thing
impossible
to
bée
true
.
Then
the
King
arose
vp
from
the
place
whereas
hée
sat
,
and
went
vnto
Armineo
,
and
cost
his
armes
about
his
neck
,
saying
:
O
gentle
Knight
,
tell
mée
if
this
bée
true
which
thou
hast
sayde
,
or
whether
thou
boost
it
to
mocke
with
mée
,
for
that
my
sad
and
sorrowfull
hart
cannot
beeléeue
this
ioyfull
newes
to
bée
of
truth
.
Then
Armineo
sayd
.
I
will
not
tell
any
thing
vnto
your
highnesse
but
that
which
is
of
truth
,
and
for
that
you
shall
bée
put
in
greater
admiration
vnderstand
that
hée
which
slew
in
your
presence
that
vgly
and
monstrous
Gyaunt
Brandafuriell
,
is
the
Prince
Clauerindo
your
Sonne
,
and
the
other
Knight
his
companyon
is
the
Prince
of
Persia
,
and
I
am
thy
Brother
Armineo
.
And
in
saying
these
words
they
all
thrée
pulled
of
theyr
Healmes
,
and
strayghtwayes
the
King
and
the
Quéene
did
know
Armineo
,
and
although
the
Prince
was
lost
in
his
tender
age
,
yet
in
the
proportion
of
his
face
they
did
very
well
remember
him
,
at
which
words
with
a
sodaine
and
vnlooked
for
ioy
,
they
ran
vnto
him
and
clasped
their
armes
about
him
,
and
remained
a
great
while
embraced
together
,
and
could
not
speake
one
word
with
the
great
ioy
and
pleasure
which
they
receiued
.
So
in
the
end
when
that
their
harls
and
armes
had
contented
themselues
with
that
louing
and
ioyfull
méeting
,
they
fel
into
communication
,
wheras
béetwixt
them
ther
passed
a
great
discourse
of
their
liues
,
whereby
the
King
and
the
Quéene
was
fully
satisfied
of
all
that
the
Prince
Clauerindo
and
Armineo
had
passed
,
after
such
time
as
they
were
taken
prisoners
by
the
power
of
that
great
rouer
Mambriniano
.
So
when
the
king
and
the
Quéene
heard
of
the
great
misfortunes
&
traualles
that
their
son
had
passed
,
&
was
now
in
their
presence
accompanied
with
that
mightie
Prince
Brandizel
,
with
whom
hee
was
brought
vp
,
there
was
no
ioy
that
might
be
compared
vnto
theirs
,
and
they
gaue
great
thanks
vnto
God
,
for
such
his
mercifull
benefits
shewed
vpon
them
.
When
these
newes
was
published
abroade
,
I
am
not
héere
able
to
declare
the
general
ioy
&
pleasure
which
was
made
,
not
alone
in
the
great
Citie
of
Paris
,
but
in
all
the
kingdome
ther
was
great
and
solempne
feasts
made
,
the
which
endured
a
long
while
.
And
for
that
the
Historie
hath
verie
much
to
tell
of
other
Knights
,
at
this
present
it
doth
leaue
to
speake
any
more
of
them
,
and
returneth
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
▪
whom
wée
left
prisoners
in
the
court
of
King
Tiberio
.
How
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
escaped
out
of
the
prison
where
hee
was
kept
,
and
perforce
departed
from
the
Court
of
the
King
Tiberio
.
Chap.
8.
THe
Historie
sheweth
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
was
thirty
daies
prisoner
in
the
tower
wheras
we
left
him
,
at
the
great
Citie
of
Ratisbona
,
in
which
time
the
king
Tiberio
dyd
neuer
determine
what
should
bée
done-touching
the
death
of
the
Troyan
Earle
,
but
was
rather
in
a
great
doubt
,
not
knowing
what
to
conclude
therein
,
for
that
on
the
one
side
the
wife
and
children
of
the
Earle
,
and
all
his
parents
and
kinsefolkes
,
who
were
verie
manie
,
and
of
the
principallest
of
the
Court
,
dyd
euery
daye
and
houre
importunate
him
for
to
doo
iustice
vpon
the
Knight
,
and
on
the
other
part
,
considering
the
great
valure
and
deserr
,
and
the
soueraigne
excellencie
that
seemed
to
bee
in
him
,
he
could
not
consent
in
his
hart
that
such
a
Knight
as
he
was
should
dye
,
although
his
offence
had
béene
farre
greater
then
his
was
,
and
as
the
king
remained
in
this
doubt
,
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
was
no
lesse
perplexed
,
séeing
himselfe
so
long
time
in
prison
,
&
that
the
King
would
not
determine
what
his
will
was
therein
.
Likewise
the
same
time
Florinaldus
was
prisoner
in
another
tower
,
vnto
whom
the
payne
and
trouble
of
his
imprisonment
was
not
so
much
griefe
,
as
his
desire
was
earnest
to
bée
reuenged
on
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
in
especiall
for
the
shame
which
hée
receiued
at
his
handes
beefore
his
Lady
Albamira
,
as
much
as
for
the
death
of
the
Troyan
Earle
,
and
for
that
hée
was
a
vallaunt
Knight
,
hée
could
not
perswade
himselfe
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
should
haue
anie
vauntage
of
him
,
if
hee
entered
battaile
with
him
by
the
sword
,
and
thought
within
himselfe
that
by
no
other
meanes
hee
could
make
satisfaction
of
his
honour
,
but
to
defie
him
to
mortall
battayle
for
the
death
of
the
Earle
his
brother
,
and
to
demand
of
the
King
lisence
for
the
same
,
and
as
hee
determined
,
hee
put
it
in
execution
,
and
called
vnto
him
a
Squier
of
his
,
and
sent
him
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
for
to
tell
him
that
it
was
not
vnknowen
what
words
dyd
passe
beetwixt
them
,
and
how
that
hée
had
slaine
the
Troyan
Earle
his
brother
,
●…o
that
vpon
the
same
occasion
hée
dyd
defie
and
challenge
him
to
mortall
battayle
,
and
if
it
were
so
that
hée
accepted
battayle
,
hee
for
his
part
would
procure
lysence
of
the
King
for
the
same
.
So
the
●…uyer
went
with
his
message
,
and
declared
it
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
who
was
verie
glad
and
ioyfull
thereof
,
not
for
any
good
will
〈◊〉
he
had
to
make
battayle
with
Florinaldus
,
for
that
he
had
no
desire
to
dishonour
or
shame
him
,
but
the
chiefest
occasion
of
his
ioye
was
,
to
recouer
his
horse
and
armour
,
wherewith
to
defende
himselfe
,
and
not
to
suffer
himselfe
to
bee
taken
and
carried
againe
vnto
prison
.
And
there
with
he
saide
vnto
the
squyer
,
that
hée
should
tell
his
Lord
that
hée
was
very
sorrie
for
the
death
of
his
Brother
,
and
that
hée
dyd
well
know
that
hee
was
in
the
fault
of
all
that
passed
,
to
that
neuerthelesse
seeing
hée
demaunded
the
battayle
,
hée
could
doo
no
otherwise
but
make
his
defence
,
and
so
hee
promised
to
accept
the
battaile
,
as
far
foorth
as
the
King
wold
giue
them
lysence
.
Then
the
Squyer
retourned
with
this
answere
vnto
his
Lord
,
who
when
hée
heard
the
meeknesse
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
his
stoute
courage
dyd
the
more
increase
,
and
sent
strayght
way
vnto
the
King
a
certayne
Knight
of
his
part
for
to
aske
lisence
,
that
hée
&
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
myght
enter
battayle
about
the
death
of
the
Earle
,
affirming
that
it
was
his
request
against
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
.
Now
you
shall
vnderstand
that
it
was
the
vse
and
custome
of
that
Country
,
that
the
Brother
or
any
other
vnto
the
fourth
degree
of
the
kindred
,
might
reuenge
the
death
of
his
brother
or
any
other
kinseman
,
of
him
whatsoeuer
hée
were
that
committed
the
murther
,
and
the
law
beeing
such
,
the
King
could
doo●…
no
lesse
but
giue
lysence
vnto
all
that
which
Florinaldus
did
request
.
When
Florinaldus
dyd
vnderstand
the
same
,
hee
was
well
content
,
and
the
next
day
following
the
battayle
was
appoynted
to
bee
held
in
the
middest
of
the
great
court
.
The
day
béeing
come
,
the
King
sent
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
his
sword
,
and
when
the
houre
approched
that
they
should
make
theyr
battayle
,
the
King
commaunded
500
Knights
,
and
as
many
more
foote
me●…
to
〈◊〉
and
keep●…
Florinaldus
and
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
that
they
might
ha●…e
the
field
in
quyet
and
safetie
.
And
beesides
all
this
they
had
all
the
principals
and
Knights
of
the
Court
to
accompany
them
,
so
that
they
went
out
of
the
prison
wheras
they
were
with
great
h●…nour
.
And
when
they
came
into
the
place
,
the
King
and
all
the
rest
of
the
nobles
were
at
the
windowes
,
and
the
people
in
other
places
wheras
they
might
best
sée
the
battaile
.
Incontinentlye
all
those
which
did
beare
them
company
,
at
the
commandement
of
the
King
did
a
part
themselues
from
the
two
Knights
,
&
were
appointed
for
Iudges
the
Duke
of
Austria
,
&
the
Earle
of
Denmarke
,
who
were
the
best
esteemed
in
all
the
Court
,
did
deuide
the
space
betwixt
the
two
Knights
,
&
put
each
of
them
in
his
place
.
When
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
saw
himselfe
at
liberty
,
he
sayd
vnto
himselfe
:
Oh
mighty
Emperour
Trebatio
,
how
maist
thou
blame
me
of
forgetfulnes
towards
thy
maiestie
,
for
that
I
haue
not
performed
the
vow
which
I
promised
thée
,
to
see
thee
straight
after
thy
comming
into
Grecia
▪
the
Gods
do
know
how
much
I
haue
desired
it
,
notwithstanding
if
it
fortune
this
day
,
my
purpose
is
to
sée
thée
very
shortly
.
And
in
saying
these
words
the
Trumpet
sounded
vnto
the
battayle
,
&
the
gallant
&
valiaunt
Knight
Florinaldus
did
strike
his
furious
horse
with
the
spurs
,
&
made
towards
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
for
his
courage
&
furious
force
was
such
at
that
time
that
it
seemed
fortune
could
not
bée
contrary
vnto
him
in
any
wise
.
Likewise
the
strong
&
mightie
Greeke
came
forth
to
meete
him
,
with
so
great
furye
,
that
in
the
running
of
his
horse
,
the
ground
séemed
to
tremble
whereas
hee
went
,
and
in
the
middest
of
their
course
they
ioyned
together
with
theyr
Speares
,
and
Florinaldus
brake
his
great
Speare
vppon
the
fine
armour
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
in
such
sort
that
hée
shieuered
it
in
a
thousand
peeces
,
which
flew
into
the
ayre
,
but
this
strong
and
stout
Knight
remayned
firme
in
his
Saddle
,
and
made
his
encounter
with
Florinaldus
,
striking
him
on
the
breast
with
so
great
power
and
strength
,
that
he
ouerthrew
him
and
his
horse
to
the
ground
one
vppon
another
,
in
such
for
that
his
horse
fell
vpon
him
,
that
hée
could
not
arise
by
any
meanes
,
whereby
this
gallaunt
and
〈◊〉
Knight
was
very
ill
intreated
,
and
lay
along
vpon
the
ground
as
though
he
had
bene
dead
,
wherfore
the
King
and
all
they
that
did
béehold
the
battayle
were
much
amazed
at
the
great
power
and
force
of
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
saying
one
to
another
that
hée
hadde
not
his
like
in
all
the
world
.
Strayght
way
there
was
heard
in
the
great
place
many
shrikes
and
cryings
,
and
looking
what
they
should
bée
,
they
saw
it
was
the
kinsefolkes
of
Florinaldus
,
who
thought
that
he
had
bene
slaine
,
and
beganne
to
lament
his
death
,
and
the
death
of
the
Earle
.
When
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
saw
Florinaldus
did
not
rise
vp
agayne
,
hée
went
vnto
the
Iudges
and
demaunded
of
them
if
there
were
any
more
to
be
done
to
cléere
himselfe
from
that
enterprise
▪
To
whom
the
Iudges
aunswered
,
that
touching
the
battayle
there
was
nothing
else
to
bee
done
,
and
as
for
any
other
thing
,
they
did
not
know
the
Kinges
pleasure
.
In
the
meane
time
the
King
was
very
sorrowfull
,
and
thought
surely
that
Florinaldus
had
béene
dead
,
wherfore
hée
called
his
chamberlaine
and
commaunded
him
to
goe
and
charge
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
to
re●…ourne
agayne
into
the
prison
,
and
that
the
gardes
should
beare
him
company
till
hée
came
to
the
Tower
,
where
hée
should
remaine
as
prisoner
.
But
when
the
Knight
had
done
this
message
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
hée
went
to
the
windowes
whereas
the
King
was
,
and
with
a
loude
voyce
hée
sayde
.
In
the
Courtes
of
high
and
mighty
Kings
they
ought
not
to
intreate
a
trauailing
Knight
in
this
sort
as
you
doe
mée
,
for
if
I
slew
the
Troyan
Earle
,
it
was
with
my
sword
in
my
hand
,
defending
my selfe
like
a
Knight
,
from
them
which
sought
my
death
,
and
for
that
I
doe
not
deserue
any
punishment
,
neyther
was
there
any
reason
why
I
should
be
so
long
in
prison
.
But
now
séeing
you
doe
commaund
mée
to
returne
agayne
vnto
prison
,
let
euery
one
defend
and
kéepe
himselfe
from
me
as
well
as
he
can
,
for
that
I
do
pretend
to
kéepe
my
libertie
.
And
in
saying
these
wordes
he
drew
out
his
Sword
,
and
set
Spurres
vnto
his
Horse
,
and
pressed
among
the
thickest
of
the
garde
,
which
hadde
compassed
him
about
,
and
with
the
great
fury
that
he
had
,
hee
made
way
through
the
thickest
,
ouerthrowing
some
with
his
Sword
,
&
other
some
with
his
horse
.
The
King
strayght
waies
perceiued
the
pretence
of
the
Knight
,
&
being
very
angry
,
with
a
loud
voise
commaunded
the
Knights
of
the
gard
and
the
foote
men
for
to
take
him
.
And
at
the
commaundement
of
the
King
,
the
Knights
of
the
gard
,
resorted
vnto
the
place
wheras
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
was
,
&
in
great
number
they
put
themselues
before
him
with
their
swordes
in
their
hands
,
&
ouer
laded
him
with
very
many
blowes
,
&
although
the
Knights
were
many
,
yet
in
a
short
time
he
made
them
to
recoyle
,
and
to
giue
him
way
,
flourishing
with
his
Sword
in
his
furious
hand
,
about
him
,
on
the
one
side
&
on
the
other
,
in
such
sort
that
he
neuer
stroke
blow
but
that
hée
slew
or
ouerthrew
a
Knight
.
The
slaughter
that
hée
made
among
them
was
such
,
and
in
so
great
number
,
that
although
the
knightes
and
all
the
foote
men
dyd
the
best
they
could
to
take
him
,
yet
in
spight
of
them
all
,
this
furious
knight
made
way
beefore
him
,
and
went
from
amongst
them
out
the
place
.
And
chauncing
into
a
narrow
streat
,
hée
set
spurres
to
his
horse
and
made
him
runne
with
great
swiftnesse
,
till
such
time
as
hée
was
out
of
the
Citie
in
the
fielde
.
The
slaughter
which
he
made
amongest
them
,
and
the
great
feare
which
they
receiued
,
was
such
,
that
there
was
not
one
so
hardy
that
durst
follow
after
him
,
but
to
content
the
King
they
c●…ustered
a
great
number
together
,
and
followed
him
through
the
streate
a
trotting
pase
,
and
although
they
went
a
great
number
together
,
yet
they
which
wer
formost
stayed
their
horse
brid●…es
,
being
vnwilling
to
ouertake
that
furious
knight
,
so
that
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
had
time
to
a
part
himselfe
a
great
way
from
the
Citie
,
and
chanced
vnto
a
way
which
brought
him
vnto
the
riuer
Danubia
,
and
trauailed
along
by
it
with
all
the
spéede
he
might
,
for
that
if
the
people
of
the
King
should
follow
him
,
they
should
not
ouertake
him
,
for
that
he
had
no
desire
to
haue
battaile
with
the
Knights
of
King
Tiberio
,
as
well
for
that
he
was
very
weary
,
as
that
hee
was
vnwilling
to
doe
any
more
harme
then
hée
had
done
,
&
so
he
trauailed
all
the
rest
of
that
day
till
it
was
night
,
&
because
he
knew
not
the
Countrie
,
he
determined
to
stay
and
rest
himselfe
in
a
very
fayre
and
greene
forrest
,
which
was
betwixt
the
riuer
&
the
high
way
,
and
the
place
seemed
vnto
him
to
bée
very
delightfull
&
fit
for
to
rest
in
,
wherfore
he
alighted
from
his
Horse
,
&
pulled
of
his
Healme
,
&
sate
downe
vpon
the
greene
,
&
leaned
vnto
a
trée
,
wheras
he
did
rest
himself
from
that
great
trauaile
which
he
had
passed
all
that
day
before
,
&
by
reason
that
he
came
thether
very
weary
,
he
straight
wayes
fell
a
sleepe
,
&
therein
he
passed
a
good
part
of
the
night
,
which
was
verye
fayre
by
reason
of
the
Moone
light
,
and
about
midnight
vpon
a
sodaine
he
awaked
through
a
great
noyse
which
passed
the
highway
,
as
it
séemed
,
&
bearkening
what
it
should
be
,
somewhat
amazed
with
his
sodaine
awaking
,
he
heard
that
it
was
a
great
cry
and
lamentation
of
Ladyes
&
Gentlewomen
,
and
much
rushing
of
armour
,
wher
with
he
put
on
his
healme
and
did
abide
their
comming
on
foote
.
Héere
the
History
leaueth
them
,
for
to
tell
you
of
all
that
passed
in
the
Court
of
King
Tiberio
,
and
of
other
thinges
which
happened
in
this
time
.
Of
all
that
passed
in
the
court
of
King
Tiberio
,
after
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
was
departed
,
and
how
the
bretheren
of
the
Duke
of
Pannonia
,
and
Aridon
of
the
Wildernesse
did
determine
to
reuenge
themselues
of
the
King
Tiberio
,
for
that
he
would
not
pardon
their
deaths
.
Chap.
9.
WIth
great
shame
and
reproch
the
Knights
of
the
King
Tiberio
remayned
,
by
reason
that
they
were
so
many
,
and
yet
not
able
to
preuayle
agaynst
one
alone
Knight
,
and
much
meruayling
at
that
which
they
saw
him
doe
,
they
said
one
vnto
another
,
that
it
was
not
possible
he
should
bée
a
humane
Knight
.
And
when
they
came
before
the
King
&
tolde
him
that
he
was
gone
,
and
that
they
could
not
make
resistaunce
against
him
,
hée
seemed
to
be
very
wrathfull
against
them
,
&
was
ashamed
,
taking
it
for
a
great
reproch
vnto
his
Court
,
but
that
which
troubled
him
most
was
,
the
complaints
&
teares
of
the
parents
&
kinsefolkes
of
Florinaldus
,
&
of
the
wife
&
children
of
the
Earle
,
for
that
they
all
together
knéeled
before
him
,
which
caused
him
to
be
more
wrathfull
against
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
.
Then
strayghtwaies
the
Knightes
of
Florinaldus
did
take
theyr
Lord
out
of
the
place
and
caryed
him
vnto
his
lodging
,
and
for
that
hée
had
no
wound
nor
hurt
but
onely
the
brusing
&
torment
of
the
fall
,
he
straight
waies
came
vnto
himselfe
&
was
quickly
whole
&
sound
,
with
which
the
rumour
of
his
parents
&
kinsfolkes
was
some
what
mittigated
,
&
the
King
Tiberio
lost
some
part
of
his
great
griefe
which
hée
beefore
sustayned
.
And
when
he
was
somewhat
in
quiet
&
his
anger
ouer
past
,
he
called
to
his
remembrance
all
that
he
had
séene
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
doe
,
&
the
gentle
grace
&
curtesie
that
he
vsed
with
all
men
,
for
the
which
he
did
deserue
to
be
honoured
&
esteemed
of
all
,
&
conceiuing
anger
against
himselfe
,
he
said
in
his
mind
,
that
he
had
rather
haue
lost
a
great
part
of
his
estate
,
then
such
a
Knight
should
haue
departed
from
his
court
so
much
abused
,
&
many
times
when
hée
thought
therof
he
was
very
sorry
for
that
which
he
had
done
against
him
.
Now
let
vs
leaue
the
King
in
his
repentaunce
,
and
many
other
of
the
principall
Knightes
in
his
Court
,
who
likewise
were
very
sorrye
for
the
departure
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
let
vs
tell
of
other
thinges
which
happened
in
that
time
.
If
you
doe
remember
that
after
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
had
ouercome
that
stout
&
valiant
Knight
Aridon
of
the
blacke
wood
,
the
Duke
of
Pannonia
,
and
he
confessed
all
the
treason
that
was
conspired
betwixt
them
against
the
Dutchesse
,
and
how
that
the
King
commaunded
theyr
heads
should
be
cut
off
in
the
middest
of
the
place
,
without
any
pardon
,
although
many
Knights
&
great
Lords
did
importunate
the
King
for
their
pardon
.
Now
the
History
saith
that
this
Aridon
,
of
the
blacke
wood
had
a
brother
called
Egion
,
a
young
man
of
a
mightie
stature
&
force
,
and
of
a
singuler
courage
for
to
attempt
any
thing
,
who
was
in
the
blacke
wood
,
at
such
time
as
Aridon
was
beheaded
.
Also
the
Duke
of
Pannonia
had
likewise
another
brother
called
Farmonte
,
a
valiant
Knight
and
very
proud
,
being
Lord
ouer
many
Countries
in
high
Almaine
nigh
vnto
the
blacke
wood
,
who
went
abroad
séeking
his
aduentures
in
those
parts
,
&
had
got
vnto
himselfe
great
fame
&
renowne
,
for
many
déedes
of
armes
which
hée
had
done
in
that
country
.
Now
when
the
death
of
their
brethren
came
vnto
their
knowledge
,
&
in
what
sort
the
King
Tiberio
commaunded
them
to
bée
slaine
,
they
were
very
sorrowfull
for
the
same
,
and
eyther
of
them
determined
within
himselfe
to
annoy
the
King
Tiberio
all
that
euer
they
could
,
till
such
time
as
they
were
reuenged
of
the
death
of
theyr
brethren
.
It
so
fell
out
that
these
two
ioyned
together
,
and
were
both
of
one
minde
and
determination
,
concluding
betwéene
them
to
be
both
together
at
the
execution
of
reuengment
,
for
that
they
may
the
better
bring
to
passe
theyr
pretence
,
&
to
annoy
the
king
.
Both
these
knights
were
in
great
securitie
in
their
countryes
,
&
were
altogether
one
helping
and
aiding
another
with
great
friendshippe
,
for
that
those
Countryes
ouer
which
they
were
Lordes
and
gouernours
were
very
montanish
and
craggie
,
in
such
sort
that
there
could
not
procéede
against
them
any
great
hoast
,
but
that
they
might
easily
make
theyr
defence
,
and
with
very
few
people
.
When
they
were
agréed
and
conformed
together
Egion
brother
vnto
Aridon
,
by
whose
death
he
was
then
Lord
ouer
the
blacke
woode
,
determined
to
goe
vnto
the
court
of
King
Tiberio
,
&
ther
to
informe
himselfe
of
all
that
had
passed
touching
the
death
of
his
brother
,
&
for
to
spy
out
how
&
in
what
manner
hee
might
be
reuenged
on
the
King
,
so
hée
came
vnto
the
Court
in
secrete
wise
,
not
making
himselfe
knowen
what
he
was
,
wheras
he
was
certified
of
all
that
he
would
desire
.
Likewise
he
was
giuen
to
vnderstand
how
that
the
Quéene
Augusta
was
with
hir
Ladies
&
Gentlewomen
at
the
Monestary
of
the
Riuer
,
&
ther
remained
euer
since
that
the
Emperour
Trebatio
had
carried
away
the
Princesse
Briana
.
This
Egion
did
very
well
consider
the
scituation
of
the
Monestarie
,
and
of
the
Knights
which
the
Quéene
had
for
hir
gard
&
kéeping
,
&
thought
within
himselfe
that
in
that
place
better
then
in
any
other
,
he
might
make
satisfaction
of
his
desire
.
Wherewith
he
returned
vnto
his
owne
country
,
&
conferred
with
Farmonte
,
and
certified
him
of
all
that
had
passed
,
and
tolde
that
he
had
found
out
a
fit
place
and
opportunitye
agréeable
to
bee
reuenged
of
the
King
,
namelie
that
the
Quéene
Augusta
with
all
hir
Ladies
and
Gentlewomen
were
at
the
Monestary
of
the
Riuer
,
which
was
farre
from
the
place
wheras
the
King
dyd
abide
,
and
although
shée
had
certaine
Knightes
for
hir
gard
,
yet
they
might
goe
so
well
prouided
,
that
in
despight
of
them
all
,
they
would
goe
take
the
Quéene
and
hir
Gentlewomen
,
&
bring
them
vnto
their
owne
Countryes
,
whereas
they
should
bée
in
safetie
from
all
the
whole
power
of
the
King
Tiberio
.
When
Farmonte
heard
these
words
,
béeing
a
couragious
Knight
,
hée
lyked
very
well
of
that
which
Egion
had
vttered
,
and
thought
it
good
to
giue
vnderstanding
of
all
this
their
pretence
,
vnto
a
Gyaunt
called
Barbario
,
who
had
his
dwelling
thereby
▪
on
the
shirt
of
the
mount
Sarpedo
,
who
was
a
great
friend
vnto
them
,
and
mightye
and
strong
in
deedes
of
armes
,
thinking
with
his
helpe
to
destroye
all
the
whole
power
of
the
King
Tiberio
,
when
he
had
opened
this
vnto
Egion
,
they
both
determined
to
goe
&
talke
with
him
,
&
to
desire
him
if
it
were
his
pleasure
,
to
be
a
companion
in
that
enterprise
.
This
accordingly
they
accomplished
,
manifesting
vnto
him
all
their
pretence
&
determination
,
when
he
vnderstood
it
,
dyd
strayght
offer
them
his
company
,
&
also
certaine
other
valiant
Knights
which
he
had
with
him
,
being
such
as
desired
no
other
thing
,
but
to
haue
oportunitie
where
they
might
imploy
their
force
&
strength
to
doe
mischiefe
.
And
to
conclude
,
he
came
away
with
them
,
carying
with
him
ten
of
his
Knights
,
who
were
very
big
of
stature
,
&
of
great
strength
,
with
whom
he
durst
giue
the
enterprise
against
a
thousand
Knights
.
And
when
they
came
vnto
the
blacke
wood
,
Egion
dyd
chuse
other
ten
Knightes
of
the
best
and
strongest
that
hee
had
.
So
béeing
ioyned
together
,
they
dyd
depart
and
tooke
theyr
way
towards
the
Monestarie
of
the
Riuer
:
and
entring
into
Hungaria
,
they
went
three
and
three
to gether
,
because
ther
should
grow
no
suspicion
,
and
the
most
of
their
trauayle
was
by
night
.
In
this
order
they
trauayled
,
that
at
length
they
came
to
the
Monestary
of
the
Ryuer
,
and
were
not
suspected
of
any
,
whereby
the●…
might
haue
occasion
to
follow
them
,
to
see
what
they
pretended
.
So
tarying
the
one
for
the
other
,
they
ioyned
all
together
,
and
being
in
good
order
,
vpon
a
very
fayre
and
cleare
moneshine
night
,
they
set
vpon
the
monestary
,
brake
the
doores
,
entred
in
,
and
tooke
the
Quéene
with
all
hir
Gentlewomen
,
out
of
theyr
chambers
,
at
whose
great
shrickes
and
cryes
,
the
Knightes
which
were
of
their
gard
beeing
lodged
in
certaine
houses
out
of
the
monestary
,
did
awake
,
&
being
all
amased
,
they
began
to
arme
themselues
,
in
such
great
hast
,
that
ther
wer
ioyned
together
more
then
fortye
,
who
went
vnto
the
place
where
as
the
no
se
was
,
so
that
beetwixt
the
Knightes
and
the
Gyant
,
began
a
great
conflict
,
but
it
fell
out
very
euill
with
them
,
for
that
the
most
part
of
them
were
armed
with
out
light
,
and
vpon
a
sodayne
,
so
that
they
lacked
many
pe●…
ces
of
their
armour
.
And
more
,
the
power
of
the
Giant
with
Egion
and
Farmonte
,
was
so
strong
,
that
they
alone
had
beene
sufficient
to
destroy
them
all
:
so
that
in
a
small
time
there
was
the
most
part
of
them
slayne
,
and
the
rest
that
remained
did
hide
themselues
,
for
the
great
feare
that
they
had
:
Insomuch
that
they
had
time
and
space
to
take
the
Quéene
and
many
of
hir
gentlewomen
into
their
power
.
And
for
that
purpose
they
brought
with
them
a
Coach
.
with
foure
whéeles
,
drawen
with
six
mightie
Horsses
,
and
very
swift
,
such
as
in
a
short
space
wold
cary
them
a
great
way
:
into
the
which
coach
they
put
the
Queene
and
hir
gentlewomen
,
whose
lamentacions
were
so
loude
,
that
they
might
bee
heard
a
great
way
.
Then
they
all
together
placed
themselues
round
about
the
coach
,
and
stroke
the
horse
,
&
in
great
hast
they
beegan
to
trauaile
towards
theyr
countrie
,
vyry
glad
and
ioyfull
for
the
rich
pray
which
they
had
obtayned
.
And
continually
as
the
Knights
which
were
of
the
garde
and
keeping
of
the
Queene
,
came
thether
at
theyr
great
shreckes
,
they
dyd
not
cease
to
follow
the
coach
,
and
had
battayle
with
the
Gyant
and
their
Knights
in
the
way
,
but
the
Gyaunt
did
intreate
them
all
in
such
sort
,
that
some
dead
,
and
other
some
very
sore
hurt
,
hee
left
them
lying
along
the
way
whereas
they
went
.
This
was
the
great
noyse
of
r●…mour
&
the
cryes
which
dyd
wake
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
out
of
his
sleepe
,
in
the
Forrest
,
thinking
vpon
that
great
traua●…e
which
hee
had
with
the
Knights
of
the
King
Tiberio
,
in
the
Citie
o●…
Ratisbona
:
and
in
the
verie
same
night
dyd
this
wrong
happen
vnto
the
Quéene
,
and
the
coach
dyd
draw
neere
the
place
whereas
hée
was
a
sleepe
.
And
as
this
good
Knight
awaked
vppon
a
sodayne
almost
amased
,
and
bea●…d
a
far
of
the
great
shrikes
of
the
Gentlewomen
,
hee
straight
way
la●…d
on
his
Helme
,
and
went
to
seeke
his
horse
,
who
was
feeding
on
the
greene
grasse
,
and
brideled
him
&
leapt
into
the
saddle
:
at
which
time
the
Gyaunt
and
the
Knights
came
right
against
him
wheras
hée
was
.
And
by
reason
that
the
moone
dyd
shine
very
bright
,
hee
saw
them
comming
in
this
order
.
Beefore
the
coach
went
the
Gyant
Barbario
,
mounted
vpon
a
mightie
Horse
all
armed
,
with
a
great
Iron
Mase
in
his
hand
all
bloody
▪
with
the
great
companie
of
Knights
which
he
had
slaine
that
night
,
and
according
vnto
his
furious
and
dreadfull
countenaunce
there
were
few
Knights
that
durst
ab●…e
beefore
him
.
And
on
both
sides
of
the
Coach
,
rode
the
two
valiant
knights
Egion
and
Farmonte
,
with
ech
of
them
a
battaile
axe
in
their
hands
.
And
their
furious
and
fearse
semblaunce
which
they
showed
,
was
no
lesse
to
bée
feared
,
(
by
reason
of
the
greatnes
of
their
bodies
)
then
the
Gyants
.
And
after
the
coach
ther
followed
to
the
number
of
fiftéene
knights
,
which
remayned
of
twentie
that
they
brought
foorth
,
all
on
horsebacke
,
and
well
armed
:
who
went
kéeping
of
the
Gentlewomen
,
that
they
should
not
fall
out
of
the
coach
.
All
this
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
stayed
to
béehold
,
and
by
the
shricks
which
the
gentlewomen
gaue
,
and
by
the
words
which
they
spake
,
hée
dyd
well
vnderstand
,
that
the
Gyant
and
those
Knights
dyd
carrie
them
away
by
force
.
And
although
it
séemed
to
bée
an
vnequall
match
and
verie
terrible
,
that
one
alone
Knight
should
thinck
to
set
them
at
lybertie
,
yet
this
mightie
and
valyant
Gréeke
made
no
stay
,
but
with
a
valyant
courage
set
spurres
vnto
his
Horse
and
issued
out
of
the
forrest
whereas
hée
abode
:
and
came
into
the
high
way
,
and
put
himselfe
beefore
the
Gyant
and
sayde
these
words
.
Tell
me
Gyaunt
what
is
the
occasion
that
thou
dost
carry
these
gentele
women
perforce
against
their
wils
.
When
this
great
Barbario
in
that
sort
saw
the
Knight
beefore
him
,
and
the
great
hardinesse
wherewith
hée
spake
vnto
him
,
without
making
any
answere
,
hée
lift
vp
his
great
mase
of
Iron
,
and
went
against
him
to
haue
stroke
him
vpo●…
the
head
,
with
a
right
downe
blow
:
but
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
had
his
sword
drawen
in
his
hand
,
&
●…et
spurs
vnto
his
Horse
side
▪
and
made
him
giue
a
great
and
a
light
leape
on
the
one
side
,
wherewith
hée
cleared
himselfe
from
that
terrible
blow
,
and
the
mase
fell
downe
to
the
ground
:
and
with
the
great
force
and
strength
where
▪
with
it
was
stroken
,
it
lackt
little
that
the
Gyaunt
had
not
fallen
to
the
ground
after
the
mase
,
for
that
hée
stoped
with
all
his
body
forwards
vpon
the
saddle
bow
.
And
before
hée
had
any
time
to
settle
himselfe
againe
,
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
entred
in
with
him
,
and
raysing
vp
himselfe
in
his
Styrops
,
hée
stroke
with
both
his
hands
so
furious
and
terrible
a
blow
at
his
wa●…
.
that
by
reason
the
ioynts
of
his
armour
was
in
that
place
in
a
maner
broken
with
his
former
conflicts
,
hée
cut
the
body
in
two
péeces
,
in
such
sort
,
that
the
one
halfe
remained
in
the
Saddle
,
and
the
other
halfe
from
the
wast
vpward
fell
downe
to
the
ground
:
and
it
was
so
quicklie
done
,
that
when
Egion
and
that
mightie
Farmonte
béehelde
the
battaile
,
with
that
wonderfull
and
terrible
blow
,
&
saw
the
halfe
body
of
the
Gyant
fell
vnto
the
earth
.
And
béeholding
the
knight
which
had
done
that
déede
,
with
his
sword
in
his
hand
all
bloody
,
they
receiued
great
admiracion
,
and
either
of
them
thought
within
him-selfe
,
that
it
should
bee
some
selestiall
creature
,
sent
from
God
for
to
destroy
them
:
for
that
they
could
not
perswade
with
themselues
that
in
a
mortall
man
there
should
bée
so
great
force
and
strength
.
Yet
béecause
they
were
valyant
Knights
,
and
high
minded
,
and
of
proude
condition
,
either
of
them
dyd
assault
him
with
great
yre
and
wrath
:
and
the
first
that
approched
vnto
him
was
the
mighty
Farmonte
,
who
with
both
his
hands
stroke
such
a
right
downe
blow
at
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
which
lighted
vpon
his
right
shoulder
,
that
it
had
béene
sufficient
to
cleane
him
to
his
breast
,
if
that
his
inchaunted
armour
had
not
defended
him
.
And
by
reason
that
the
hatchet
could
not
cut
,
the
strength
of
the
blow
was
the
heauier
,
in
such
sort
,
that
it
made
him
to
double
and
bow
his
bodie
forwards
,
that
his
breast
touched
the
saddle
bow
,
and
hée
hadde
not
well
settled
him-selfe
in
his
saddle
agayne
,
when
that
on
the
other
side
,
hée
was
assalted
by
the
mightie
Egion
,
who
with
his
mightie
hatchet
,
stroke
a nother
right
downe
blow
at
him
,
that
if
hée
had
chaunsed
to
hit
him
,
it
could
not
but
néedes
it
must
haue
done
him
great
harme
.
But
this
couragious
and
valyant
Knight
,
whose
excéeding
lightnesse
and
strength
,
was
in
all
poynts
equall
:
stroke
his
horse
with
the
spurres
,
and
made
him
to
leap
on
the
one
side
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
hée
cleered
himselfe
from
the
●…ry
therof
,
and
therwith
hée
entered
in
with
that
mightie
Farmonte
,
and
stroke
him
such
a
blow
vppon
the
head
,
that
if
hee
had
not
clasped
himselfe
about
the
horse
neck
,
hée
had
fallen
downe
vnto
the
ground
,
hee
had
no
soo●…
giuen
this
blow
,
but
that
the
stout
Egion
lift
vp
his
Hatchet
againe
and
stroke
him
another
blow
vppon
the
Helme
,
that
hée
made
him
decline
his
head
vnto
his
breast
,
beeing
somewhat
amazed
therewith
.
All
this
that
passed
,
as
w●…ll
with
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
as
the
Gyaunt
and
the
rest
,
the
Quéene
Augusta
&
hir
Gentlewomen
which
were
in
the
Coach
dyd
beehould
,
for
that
those
which
draue
the
Horse
that
dyd
draw
the
Coach
dyd
stay
,
and
the
night
was
very
cleere
,
and
the
Moone
dyd
shine
so
bright
that
it
seemed
to
bee
day
,
and
they
greatly
meruailed
at
the
sodaine
death
of
the
Gyaunt
,
and
lykewise
of
the
battaile
which
that
alone
knight
made
with
the
other
two
knights
,
and
certainely
they
beel●…ued
that
that
knight
was
sent
from
God
.
In
this
time
the
mighty
Farmonte
had
stroke
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
a
terrible
blow
vppon
his
Healme
,
with
so
great
fury
and
force
,
that
hee
thought
vorely
his
téeth
had
beene
broken
with
chattering
and
beating
one
against
another
,
then
this
valiaunt
and
couragious
knight
séeing
the
great
resistaunce
that
was
against
him
,
his
force
increased
,
and
hée
tooke
his
sword
in
both
his
hands
,
and
raysed
himselfe
in
his
●…rops
,
he
striking
a
mighty
blow
at
the
stoute
Egion
,
which
lighted
vpon
his
shoulder
in
all
ill
houre
for
him
,
for
after
that
he
neuer
sorrowed
for
the
death
of
his
brother
Aridon
,
for
that
the
fine
and
well
tempered
sword
did
cut
the
hardned
steele
of
his
armour
,
and
neuer
rested
ther
,
but
discended
downe
vnto
hi●…
wast
,
and
spared
neyther
flesh
nor
bones
.
but
that
fore
quarter
with
all
the
rest
of
the
vnhappy
Egion
fel
downe
dead
vnto
the
ground
.
When
the
mighty
Farmonte
saw
that
terrible
blow
,
and
his
companyons
dead
,
hée
knew
not
what
to
say
nor
think
of
the
great
force
of
his
aduersarie
,
yet
the
great
pride
which
hée
had
would
not
suffer
him
to
acknowledge
his
mightie
power
,
but
bloodilie
hée
pressed
forwards
,
thincking
by
one
onely
blow
to
take
reuengement
of
all
the
harme
which
was
done
,
not
foreseeing
that
which
should
happen
,
and
lifting
vp
his
stéelie
hatchet
,
with
both
his
hands
hée
stroke
a
mightie
blow
vpon
the
hard
and
Inchaunted
Healme
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
so
that
it
sounded
throughout
all
the
woods
and
forrests
very
strongly
,
and
astonied
him
that
hée
had
no
remembraunce
,
in
such
sort
that
his
horse
carried
him
more
then
ten
pace●…
from
the
place
whereas
hée
was
,
but
yet
before
the
mightie
Farmonte
had
tyme
to
giue
him
another
blow
hee
was
come
againe
to
himselfe
,
and
remembring
the
mightie
and
furious
stroke
which
hee
had
receiued
,
full
of
wrathfull
ire
and
courage
,
hée
tooke
his
Sword
in
both
his
hands
,
and
setting
spurres
vnto
his
horse
sides
,
hee
pressed
towardes
that
mightie
Farmonte
,
to
gratifie
the
blow
which
hée
had
receiued
,
who
with
a
stout
and
proud
courage
dyd
abide
his
comming
.
The
Knight
of
the
Sunne
raysed
himselfe
on
his
stirrops
,
and
gaue
him
such
a
blow
vppon
the
head
,
that
hee
cloue
it
downe
to
the
shoulders
,
wherwith
hée
fell
from
his
horse
dead
to
the
earth
.
At
which
time
ther
approached
with
the
noyse
of
the
battayle
all
the
Knights
which
followed
the
Coach
,
and
when
they
saw
theyr
Lords
in
that
battaile
with
one
alone
Knight
,
they
would
not
help
them
,
for
that
they
thought
either
of
them
sufficient
to
vse
him
at
their
pleasure
,
and
therefore
they
put
themselues
on
the
one
side
to
beehold
the
battayle
,
but
when
they
perceiued
both
their
Lords
with
two
blows
so
sodainely
slaine
,
theyr
blood
waxed
could
within
theyr
bodies
,
and
they
dyd
verely
beléeue
that
the
same
Knight
was
some
infernal
spirite
,
and
no
humane
creature
,
yet
beecause
they
were
many
,
they
tooke
courage
one
of
another
,
and
dyd
assayle
him
all
together
▪
striking
at
him
very
strongly
,
and
by
reason
that
they
were
all
valiant
and
chosen
Knights
,
they
had
put
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
in
great
ieopardie
,
if
hée
had
not
béene
of
so
valyant
courage
as
hee
was
,
who
with
so
valyant
and
stout
a
courage
did
béehaue
himselfe
amongst
those
Knights
that
if
there
had
béen
as
many
more
,
they
had
not
béen
sufficient
to
haue
brought
him
into
any
●…xtremitie
,
for
that
in
a
smal
time
with
his
furious
strokes
,
of
some
he
cloue
their
heads
a
sunder
,
and
of
other
some
he
cut
away
their
armes
,
and
other
some
hée
ouerthrew
to
the
ground
meruailously
wounded
,
in
such
sort
(
béecause
they
had
no
Lords
nor
masters
to
giue
account
vnto
)
all
those
which
remained
aliue
and
not
wounded
,
determined
to
flie
away
,
and
thought
it
great
folly
any
longer
to
abide
those
mortal
and
wonderful
blows
,
but
turned
their
backes
and
fledde
with
all
the
hast
they
could
,
leauing
that
strong
and
mightie
knight
all
alone
,
who
séeing
that
there
was
no
more
to
bée
done
,
went
vnto
the
coach
to
sée
who
they
were
that
came
therein
.
And
when
the
Quéene
Augusta
and
all
hir
Ladyes
and
Gentlewomen
saw
them
dead
and
wounded
,
which
carried
them
as
prisoners
,
&
that
there
remained
no
more
but
the
mighty
knight
all
alone
,
they
gaue
great
thancks
vnto
almightie
god
,
and
wept
for
very
ioy
to
see
themselues
at
liberty
.
And
the
Quéene
hauing
great
desire
to
know
who
that
worthy
knight
should
bée
,
shée
spake
vnto
him
and
sayde
.
Oh
happie
and
fortunate
knight
,
whom
I
béeléeue
to
bée
the
mightiest
and
worthiest
in
all
the
world
,
tell
vs
I
pray
thée
who
thou
art
,
that
I
may
know
whom
to
gratifie
,
for
this
great
benefit
that
wée
haue
receiued
in
destroying
of
these
traytors
that
carried
vs
away
prisoners
.
When
the
Quéene
had
saide
these
words
,
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
did
know
hir
,
for
that
he
had
seene
hir
before
,
at
such
time
as
hée
had
the
battaile
with
Aridon
,
and
béeing
much
amazed
to
see
hir
in
that
place
,
and
in
the
power
of
those
euil
persons
,
was
on
the
contrary
very
ioyfull
,
for
that
he
had
done
vnto
hir
that
seruice
,
dyd
lift
vp
the
beauer
of
his
Healme
and
sayde
.
Lady
I
giue
great
thankes
vnto
my
Gods
for
that
it
hath
pleased
them
to
bring
me
hether
at
this
time
,
&
in
so
good
opportunitie
to
serue
you
,
for
that
I
assure
you
I
was
very
ignoraunt
and
knew
nothing
héerof
,
but
beeing
soundly
a
sleepe
within
this
forrest
,
I
was
awaked
by
the
great
noise
which
they
made
,
so
that
determining
what
it
should
bée
,
I
arose
vp
and
came
towards
this
place
,
and
you
shal
vnderstand
that
I
am
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
hée
(
if
your
highnesse
cal
to
remembrance
)
that
had
battaile
in
your
presence
with
Aridon
of
the
black
woode
,
and
by
reason
of
a
sodeine
iniurie
which
hath
chanced
vnto
me
,
with
certaine
Knights
in
the
court
of
the
king
,
I
came
hether
into
this
forrest
this
night
to
sléepe
and
take
my
rest
.
When
the
Quéene
vnderstood
that
it
was
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
knew
him
by
the
Sunn
which
hée
had
vpon
his
armour
,
hir
ioy
&
pleasure
did
the
more
increase
,
&
thincking
hir selfe
in
a
great
deale
more
safetie
then
beefore
,
shée
said
:
Now
I
doo
well
know
&
vnderstand
that
my
fortune
is
falne
out
much
better
then
I
did
make
reckoning
of
,
for
that
it
hath
pleased
God
to
haue
so
great
a
care
ouer
me
,
as
to
bring
me
such
a
Knight
in
this
our
most
extremitie
,
and
considering
the
great
good
which
thy
comming
hath
béene
vnto
vs
,
I
cannot
impute
it
,
but
vnto
the
goodnes
of
God
in
this
our
necessity
.
In
the
meane
time
that
the
Quéene
was
saying
these
words
&
other
such
lyke
,
certayne
of
hir
Knights
which
followed
hir
somewhat
out
of
the
way
from
the
coach
,
onely
for
to
spie
out
&
know
the
way
whether
they
went
for
to
giue
the
king
to
vnderstand
thereof
.
So
long
as
they
heard
the
noise
of
the
battaile
,
they
burst
not
approch
nigh
whereas
they
were
,
but
afterward
when
they
heard
that
the
Gentlewomen
held
their
peace
,
&
left
off
their
shrikes
and
lamentation
,
they
by
little
&
little
drew
nigh
vnto
the
place
wheras
the
coach
was
,
til
such
time
as
they
saw
the
Gyant
&
the
two
knights
,
&
others
ly
a
long
on
the
ground
,
some
starke
dead
,
and
other
some
verie
sore
hurt
,
complaining
their
misfortune
.
Likewise
they
saw
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
talking
with
the
Quéene
,
whom
they
knew
by
the
deuise
he
had
of
the
Sun
,
&
being
much
amazed
at
that
wonderfull
sight
,
they
drew
nigh
vnto
them
,
and
when
the
quéene
knew
that
they
were
of
hir
company
,
she
tooke
great
pleasure
with
them
,
&
commaunded
them
to
bring
before
hir
one
of
those
knights
of
the
Giant
that
lay
vpon
the
ground
hurt
,
the
knights
accomplished
hir
commandement
,
&
when
they
had
brought
one
of
those
knights
before
hir
,
shée
demanded
who
they
were
that
had
taken
hir
and
hir
Gentlewomen
prisoners
,
&
what
was
the
cause
that
they
dyd
it
,
threatning
him
with
death
if
he
did
not
tell
the
truth
,
and
to
the
contrarie
,
his
lyfe
if
hee
dyd
tell
hir
the
whole
effect
,
and
promised
him
to
haue
him
healed
of
his
wounds
.
The
wounded
Knight
séeing
that
it
would
little
auayle
him
to
hide
any
thing
,
considering
that
theyr
Lords
were
slaine
&
dead
,
dyd
playnly
and
cléerely
declare
vnto
hir
who
they
were
,
and
of
all
that
had
passed
,
and
what
was
the
occasion
that
they
did
it
,
according
as
you
haue
heard
beefore
in
this
Historie
.
And
when
the
Queene
vnderstood
the
whole
effect
of
hir
imprisonment
,
hir
body
trembled
with
the
feare
that
she
receiued
,
knowing
not
how
to
recompence
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
for
the
great
pleasure
which
he
had
shewed
vnto
them
,
but
desired
him
to
beare
hir
companie
vnto
the
Court
of
the
King
,
promising
him
large
and
rich
gifts
,
but
béecause
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
had
a
greater
desire
to
goe
see
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
then
regard
of
riches
and
estate
,
hée
gaue
humble
thanckes
vnto
the
Quéene
for
hir
gentle
offer
,
and
dyd
excuse
himselfe
in
the
best
sort
hee
could
,
saying
,
that
hée
had
a
iourney
in
hand
which
hee
could
by
no
meanes
leaue
of
at
that
present
,
but
hée
hoped
that
the
time
would
come
he
should
returne
and
serue
the
King
,
and
bée
in
his
court
.
So
after
that
they
had
a
great
discourse
about
this
matter
,
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
tooke
his
leaue
of
the
Quéene
,
at
which
time
were
come
together
tenne
or
twelue
of
the
Quéenes
Knights
,
who
had
hid
themselues
for
fear●…
of
the
Gyaunt
,
and
when
they
saw
that
they
could
not
by
anie
meanes
perswade
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
to
retourne
vnto
the
court
againe
,
they
suffered
him
to
depart
,
although
it
grieued
them
very
much
that
hee
should
depart
in
such
sort
,
beefore
the
king
had
rewarded
him
,
for
the
great
benefit
which
they
all
receiued
at
his
hands
.
In
the
end
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
departed
from
the
Quéene
,
and
left
hir
in
the
companie
of
hir
Gentlewomen
and
Knights
,
who
determined
to
goe
vnto
the
court
of
the
King
.
And
when
those
Knights
saw
the
great
and
wonderfull
blowes
wherewith
hée
had
slayne
the
Gyaunt
&
his
companions
,
being
very
much
amazed
they
looked
one
vpon
another
,
&
said
that
it
seemed
to
bée
a
thing
impossible
that
a
humane
wight
should
do
such
wonderfull
déedes
.
And
for
that
it
should
be
beléeued
of
them
which
did
not
sée
the
battayle
betwixt
them
,
&
béecause
ther
should
remaine
a
perpetuall
testimonie
&
memory
of
the
same
,
the
quéene
Augusta
determined
to
carry
vnto
the
court
of
the
King
the
bodyes
of
the
Gyant
,
&
of
Egion
&
Farmonte
,
cloue
&
cut
in
péeces
in
such
sort
as
you
haue
heard
,
&
for
the
same
purpose
she
commaunded
the
coach
to
be
prepared
,
shée
&
all
hir
Gentlewomen
came
forth
therof
,
&
caused
the
dead
bodies
to
bée
put
therin
,
so
ther
they
passed
away
the
rest
of
the
night
which
remained
,
&
two
of
those
Knights
did
returne
vnto
the
monestary
of
the
Riuer
,
to
giue
them
to
vnderstand
of
all
that
had
passed
,
&
to
bring
palfraies
&
all
things
necessary
for
the
Quéene
&
hir
Gentlewomen
.
When
the
morning
was
come
,
and
all
things
in
a
readynesse
,
they
tooke
the
way
which
lead
them
towards
the
court
,
carrying
with
them
in
their
companye
the
Coach
,
wherein
was
the
bodies
of
the
Gyant
and
of
Egion
and
Farmonte
,
who
were
very
great
and
bigge
,
and
for
that
the
woundes
wherwith
they
were
slayne
,
were
very
terrible
and
wonderfull
to
behold
,
it
put
all
them
whom
they
met
by
the
way
in
great
admiration
and
especially
when
they
vnderstoode
that
one
alone
Knight
had
done
that
deede
.
There
were
some
of
the
Knightes
that
were
in
the
gard
and
keeping
of
the
Quéene
,
strayght
way
when
they
saw
the
assault
which
the
Gyant
and
his
companions
made
in
the
monestary
,
and
seeing
that
they
were
many
and
that
all
their
power
was
not
sufficient
to
make
resistaunce
,
they
straight
way
departed
in
●…ost
with
as
great
hast
as
was
possible
for
to
giue
the
King
Tiberio
to
vnderstand
thereof
,
&
with
the
great
hast
which
they
made
,
the
next
day
in
the
morning
they
came
before
the
〈◊〉
,
and
told
vnto
him
all
that
passed
,
saying
that
if
out
of
hand
he
did
not
with
his
Knights
giue
aide
&
succour
,
the
Queene
&
all
hir
Gentlewomen
should
be
carried
away
prisoners
.
When
the
King
vnderstood
these
newes
,
he
was
very
much
troubled
,
and
fearing
that
the
Queene
should
receiue
some
harme
,
he
commaunded
that
his
Knights
should
arme
themselues
with
all
the
speed
that
might
be
,
which
〈◊〉
,
they
departed
to
the
number
of
two
hundred
Knights
,
and
tooke
their
way
towards
the
Monestary
of
the
Riuer
.
After
that
they
were
departed
there
were
many
other
Knights
that
were
arming
themselues
for
to
follow
those
that
wer
gone
before
,
&
being
all
in
a
readinesse
▪
with
as
great
hast
as
euer
t●…eir
horses
could
run
they
followed
the
other
,
in
this
sort
they
continued
their
trauaile
till
it
was
somewhat
late
,
at
which
time
those
Knights
which
went
formost
did
discouer
a
far
of
comming
towards
them
the
Queene
&
all
hir
gentlewomen
&
Knights
,
bringing
before
them
the
coach
&
when
they
were
satisfied
that
it
was
the
Quéene
,
with
great
&
excéeding
ioy
they
went
&
told
the
King
,
who
was
very
heauy
and
full
of
sorrow
,
supposing
that
his
succor
should
come
too
late
,
by
reason
of
the
great
distance
that
was
betwixt
the
one
and
the
other
,
but
straight
way
when
he
vnderstood
the
newes
that
his
knights
gaue
him
,
he
receiued
so
much
comfort
,
that
it
seemed
to
reuiue
him
from
death
to
life
,
&
therewith
he
passed
forwards
,
&
rode
before
them
all
,
wheras
hée
saw
the
Quéene
&
all
hir
Gentlewomen
&
knights
comming
,
&
the
coach
before
them
,
wherin
was
the
bodies
of
the
giant
and
of
the
two
dead
Knights
,
&
being
nigh
it
,
they
sta●…ed
,
and
with
great
admiration
beheld
those
terrible
&
wonderfull
won●…ds
,
and
could
not
imagine
with
themselues
what
it
should
be
,
but
being
halfe
amazed
at
that
wonderfull
sight
,
they
remained
till
the
Quéene
came
,
whom
the
King
dyd
embrace
&
receiue
with
as
great
ioy
as
if
they
had
not
séene
one
another
a
long
time
before
.
Then
the
King
demaunded
how
and
in
what
sort
she
was
set
at
liberty
.
To
whom
the
quéene
said
:
My
Lord
,
you
shall
vnderstand
that
I
and
my
gentlewomen
being
in
the
monestary
of
the
riuer
,
we
wer
assaulted
by
this
Gyaunt
&
two
Knights
that
we
doe
bring
heere
dead
,
who
had
in
their
company
more
then
twentye
Knights
,
which
came
with
them
,
who
killing
&
wounding
the
most
part
of
the
knights
that
were
of
my
gard
,
they
toke
vs
&
caried
vs
away
prisoners
in
this
coach
that
we
bring
héere
,
&
according
vnto
the
great
hast
&
swift
course
wherwith
we
were
carried
,
I
am
certaine
that
all
your
succour
had
come
too
late
,
but
God
was
so
pleased
&
my
good
fortune
,
that
this
night
past
trauailing
by
the
edge
of
a
forrest
,
there
was
a
knight
sleeping
,
who
afterward
I
knew
to
be
the
knight
with
the
deuise
of
the
Sun
,
which
made
the
battaile
with
Aridon
of
the
black
wood
,
who
being
sodainly
awaked
by
our
great
shrikes
&
sorrowfull
lamentations
,
came
forth
into
the
high
way
to
see
what
it
should
be
,
&
he
alone
had
battell
with
the
Gyant
&
these
two
knights
,
&
hath
intreated
them
in
this
sort
as
you
doe
sée
,
&
besides
all
this
he
slew
and
wounded
all
the
rest
of
the
knights
that
came
with
them
,
himself
remaining
whole
&
sound
,
w●…thout
any
wound
or
hurt
,
&
we
set
at
liberty
,
with
great
ioy
&
pleasure
,
especially
when
we
knew
who
hee
was
,
&
afterward
came
vnto
that
place
certain
of
my
knights
that
did
follow
the
coach
wherin
we
were
,
&
by
one
of
their
knights
that
were
wounded
and
lay
on
the
ground
,
we
did
vnderstand
who
they
were
that
did
carry
vs
prisoners
&
for
what
cause
they
did
assalt
vs
,
&
ther
the
Quéene
declared
vnto
the
King
all
that
euer
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
had
done
for
them
in
that
battaile
&
rescew
,
&
how
he
departed
from
h●…r
,
&
how
she
could
not
by
any
meanes
cause
him
to
returne
vnto
the
court
for
to
receiue
his
reward
for
that
worthy
and
valiant
déede
which
he
had
done
for
hir
.
When
the
King
vnderstoode
that
it
was
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
who
in
the
deliuerie
of
the
Queene
had
done
so
high
and
worthy
acts
,
one
way
hée
receiued
great
pleasure
&
another
way
hée
suffered
great
griefe
,
for
that
he
had
not
d●…ne
him
being
in
his
court
)
the
honour
that
vnto
so
noble
and
vali●…nt
a
Knight
appertayned
,
and
was
very
angry
with
the
Queene
,
for
that
she
did
suffer
him
to
depart
&
go
away
in
〈◊〉
order
,
and
thought
that
if
it
were
possible
to
ouertake
●…nd
finde
him
,
hée
himselfe
in
person
would
follow
him
.
But
when
all
the
Knights
which
came
in
company
with
the
king
Tiberio
vnderstood
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
had
done
all
this
,
they
greatly
meruailed
,
&
beholding
those
wonderfull
wounds
which
the
gyant
&
knights
had
,
they
thought
it
a
thing
vnpossible
that
any
humane
Knight
should
doe
it
,
&
wondering
therat
they
had
inough
to
doe
to
looke
one
vpon
the
other
.
Straight
way
in
this
sort
the
king
&
the
quéen●…
returned
&
tooke
their
way
towards
the
Citie
of
Ratisbona
,
with
all
their
Knights
,
carying
with
them
the
Coach
&
the
dead
bodies
,
&
the
fame
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
increased
,
in
such
sort
that
neuer
after
his
memory
was
lost
in
those
parts
,
&
for
long
time
after
they
had
inough
to
doe
to
communicate
therof
,
wheras
this
History
doth
leaue
them
for
to
tell
you
what
happened
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
.
¶
How
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
came
vnto
a
castle
,
whereas
hee
did
deliuer
a
Gentlewoman
,
and
recouered
two
Pages
,
whom
hee
carried
with
him
.
Ca.
10.
AFter
that
the
high
and
mightie
Alphoebo
was
departed
from
the
Queene
Augusta
,
〈◊〉
would
not
stay
in
any
place
for
to
rest
himselfe
,
although
he
had
great
néede
thereof
,
because
if
the
king
and
his
Knights
should
follow
him
,
they
should
not
ouertake
him
,
&
so
he
continued
his
iourny
,
pretending
to
passe
into
Grecia
,
&
to
goe
sée
his
great
friend
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
&
with
this
pretence
hée
trauailed
&
passed
away
the
rest
of
the
night
which
remayned
&
the
morning
being
come
,
he
chaunced
into
a
very
large
&
plaine
field
,
all
couered
with
pleasaunt
〈◊〉
gréene
hearbes
,
in
which
he
trauailed
a
good
while
,
for
that
it
was
somewhat
long
,
&
toward
the
end
therof
at
the
foot●…
of
a
small
mountaine
,
he
saw
a
castle
,
which
seemed
vnto
him
to
be
very
fayre
,
and
hauing
great
desire
to
repose
himselfe
and
to
eate
some
thing
,
hée
determined
to
goe
thether
And
before
hée
came
to
it
,
as
far
as
a
man
might
throw
a
stone
,
he
saw
come
forth
of
the
castell
gate
,
a
Gentlewoman
,
running
&
giuing
great
shrikes
,
and
after
hir
followed
two
knights
armed
with
their
swords
drawen
in
their
handes
,
threatning
hir
that
if
she
would
not
tarry
,
they
would
kill
hir
.
In
this
sort
they
all
thrée
came
running
towards
the
place
wheras
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
was
:
&
by
reason
that
the
knights
wer
armed
,
they
could
not
ouertake
hir
,
till
such
time
as
she
came
wheras
he
was
.
And
when
the
Gentlewoman
saw
him
so
mighty
&
so
well
proportioned
,
she
lyft
vp
hir
voice
&
said
.
Succour
me
gentle
Knight
,
&
deliuer
me
from
these
traitours
,
who
pretend
to
rauish
mée
The
Gentlewoman
had
no
soner
said
these
wordes
,
but
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
alyghted
from
his
horse
,
&
put
himselfe
before
them
with
his
sword
drawen
in
his
hand
,
and
sayd
:
what
meane
you
gentle
Knights
,
that
you
both
follow
one
alone
Gentlewoman
.
They
who
were
full
of
mallice
&
very
proud
,
without
answering
one
word
,
they
assalted
him
,
and
stroke
each
of
them
a
blow
at
him
with
their
swords
,
but
hard
was
their
happe
,
for
that
they
knew
not
what
they
did
,
neyther
did
they
know
him
,
which
with
so
great
meekenesse
spake
vnto
them
.
He
then
seeing
their
great
discourtesie
,
and
little
respect
which
they
had
,
he
stroke
the
one
of
them
such
a
blow
vppon
the
head
,
that
hée
cloue
it
in
two
peeces
,
and
hée
fell
downe
dead
vnto
the
ground
,
and
finding
the
other
on
his
right
side
,
he
stroke
at
him
an
ouerthwart
blow
,
that
he
cut
of
his
sword
arme
hard
by
the
shoulder
:
and
when
he
saw
his
companion
dead
,
and
himselfe
with
out
an
arme
,
making
very
dolorous
and
greeuous
complaints
,
he
ran
about
the
field
,
and
had
all
his
life
time
after
to
repent
himselfe
for
that
wrong
which
he
would
haue
done
vnto
that
gentlewoman
.
Who
when
she
saw
hir selfe
at
libertie
from
those
two
knights
,
and
in
so
short
a
space
,
being
very
much
amased
at
the
might
of
that
Knight
.
She
came
vnto
him
and
with
wéeping
said
,
Oh
good
and
gentle
Knight
,
séeing
that
God
had
giuen
you
so
much
bounty
&
strength
,
succour
and
help
my
father
and
two
brotheren
,
which
are
in
that
castell
which
you
sée
before
you
,
&
are
at
the
poynt
to
be
slayne
by
certain
tra●…terous
knights
,
that
do
pretend
to
kill
them
.
And
when
the
knight
of
the
Sun
heard
this
,
with
a
trise
he
went
vnto
the
Castell
,
&
as
he
entred
in
therat
,
he
heard
great
rushing
of
armour
in
the
galleries
about
the
court
.
And
going
vp
,
hee
saw
that
it
was
foure
armed
Knigh●…s
at
the
entrie
of
a
dore
,
who
did
striue
to
come
in
therat
,
and
in
the
inside
,
ther
was
an
ancient
man
,
with
two
well
proportioned
y●…ng
men
vnarmed
,
hauing
but
onely
their
swords
in
their
hands
who
did
defend
the
entrie
.
And
when
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
came
where
as
the
foure
Knights
was
,
the
first
that
he
met
with
all
he
stroke
him
so
terrible
a
blow
,
that
he
ouerthrew
him
dead
at
the
féete
of
his
companions
.
Who
being
verye
much
amazed
at
that
sodaine
mischiefe
,
tourned
themselues
about
to
see
who
it
should
be
that
had
done
that
harme
.
And
when
they
saw
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
all
alone
with
his
sword
in
his
hand
,
they
left
them
with
whom
they
had
the
battaile
at
the
dore
,
&
went
against
him
,
and
with
great
fury
began
to
lay
vppon
him
,
but
this
their
brauery
did
not
indure
long
,
for
that
in
a
short
time
with
very
few
blowes
he
gaue
them
to
vnderstand
who
he
was
,
for
that
hée
ouerthrew
one
of
them
to
the
ground
,
and
the
other
two
béeing
very
sore
wounded
,
ranne
away
and
left
him
alone
,
till
such
time
as
the
ancient
man
and
the
two
yong
men
that
were
with
in
the
dore
came
forth
,
who
when
they
saw
what
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
had
done
in
so
short
a
space
,
they
greatly
meruailed
,
although
they
straight
way
knew
him
by
the
deuise
hée
had
of
the
Sunne
,
for
that
they
were
present
at
such
time
as
hée
had
battaile
with
Aridon
of
the
blacke
woode
:
and
no
lesse
musing
at
his
ariuall
thether
,
they
went
towards
him
and
demaunded
his
hands
to
kisse
them
,
for
the
great
friendship
which
hée
shewed
vnto
them
.
And
hée
receiued
them
with
great
courtesie
and
said
▪
My
friendes
,
I
pray
you
tell
mee
what
was
the
occasion
that
these
Knights
would
haue
slayne
you
,
and
other
two
Knights
which
followed
a
Gentlewoman
out
of
this
castellw●…o
I
haue
also
deliuered
from
them
,
and
she
will
be
héere
straight
way
.
Then
the
auncient
old
man
,
who
seemed
by
his
grauitie
to
bee
honourable
,
beeing
very
ioyfull
for
that
hee
heard
his
daughter
was
at
libertie
,
answered
him
and
sayd
as
followeth
.
Oh
worthy
knight
,
I
doe
verely
béeléeue
that
thou
art
sent
of
God
,
to
defend
and
maintayne
the
feeble
and
weake
persons
,
&
to
chastise
the
proude
and
arroga●…t
▪
For
that
I
was
present
at
such
time
as
thou
wert
brought
vnto
the
citie
of
Ratisbona
,
for
to
make
battaile
with
Aridon
of
the
blacke
woode
,
and
now
at
this
present
art
come
for
to
set
mée
at
liberty
from
this
great
outrage
which
these
knights
would
haue
done
vnto
me
:
so
that
I
verely
beléeue
that
by
great
mistery
thou
art
sent
for
our
aid
&
help
,
therfore
(
gentle
Knight
)
thou
shalt
vnderstand
,
that
the
occasion
wherfore
these
traiterous
Knights
would
haue
slaine
vs
,
was
,
for
that
the
one
of
them
many
dayes
past
,
dyd
demaund
of
mée
for
wife
my
daughter
,
whom
you
haue
deliuered
out
of
their
power
.
And
for
that
I
did
know
he
was
an
euill
,
malicious
&
a
traiterous
knight
,
&
a
very
coward
,
I
would
neuer
graunt
vnto
the
same
:
neyther
wold
my
daughter
consent
ther
▪
vnto
.
And
for
to
reuenge
themselues
thereof
,
this
morning
at
such
time
as
the
gate
of
the
Castell
was
open
,
wée
béeing
without
all
feare
&
suspection
,
vppon
a
sodaine
,
the
sixe
Knights
which
you
haue
séene
,
entred
in
,
&
amongst
them
came
the
same
Knights
which
I
haue
tolde
you
of
.
And
because
I
did
perceiue
their
determination
was
to
kill
vs
,
&
to
carry
away
my
daughter
with
violence
and
parforce
,
which
certainly
,
&
without
all
doubt
had
happened
in
this
order
,
if
it
had
not
pleased
God
that
thou
shouldest
haue
come
hether
to
giue
vs
aide
and
succour
.
So
at
such
time
as
this
auncient
man
hadde
made
an
end
in
saying
these
wordes
,
the
Gentlewoman
his
daughter
,
whom
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
had
deliuered
from
the
two
Knights
,
came
whereas
they
were
.
For
whose
comming
the
father
and
hir
bretheren
receiued
double
ioy
,
&
the
no
lesse
ioyfull
,
for
that
she
found
them
cleere
from
the
outrage
which
they
would
haue
done
vnto
them
.
So
that
neyther
of
them
dyd
know
in
what
sort
they
might
gratifie
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
for
the
great
benefit
which
they
had
receiued
at
his
hands
,
but
offred
vnto
him
all
that
they
had
.
And
for
that
he
found
in
them
so
great
good
will
,
hée
determined
to
way
there
certaine
dayes
,
to
comfort
and
ease
himselfe
:
for
that
hee
found
his
bodye
in
many
places
brused
&
ill
intreated
,
with
the
battailes
which
he
had
with
the
Knights
of
the
King
Tiberio
,
&
the
Gyaunt
and
with
his
Knights
when
he
set
at
liberty
the
Quéene
Augusta
,
for
although
his
good
armour
did
defend
him
from
being
wounded
,
yet
his
body
could
not
but
receiue
great
damage
,
&
hée
tormented
by
the
heauy
waight
and
strength
of
the
blowes
which
he
receiued
,
&
he
felt
himselfe
vory
sore
therwith
,
in
such
sort
,
that
he
had
great
néede
to
be
cured
therof
.
All
which
he
declared
vnto
the
lord
of
the
castle
,
&
vnto
his
sonnes
,
who
were
very
ioyfull
,
&
receiued
great
contentment
at
the
same
,
as
those
who
were
very
desirous
to
serue
&
pleasure
him
in
all
that
euer
they
could
.
So
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
remayned
ther
certaine
daies
in
which
time
he
was
meruailously
well
cured
of
his
bruses
,
by
the
gentlewoman
,
who
was
cunning
&
expert
in
chirurgery
,
&
did
it
with
a
very
good
grace
.
The
Gentlewomans
name
was
Oliuia
,
and
hir
fathers
name
was
Onorio
,
and
his
sonnes
names
were
Aurellio
,
&
Binnano
,
and
they
all
did
loue
him
very
much
,
and
would
that
he
should
neuer
depart
from
thence
,
from
their
companie
.
But
at
such
time
that
hée
would
néeds
depart
,
the
father
requested
the
Knight
to
graunt
him
a
bowne
,
which
was
,
that
he
should
receiue
into
seruice
his
two
sonnes
,
and
cary
them
with
him
for
his
pages
.
The
Knight
of
the
Sun
knowing
them
to
be
young
men
of
great
vertue
,
well
proportioned
and
couragious
in
what
so
euer
necessitie
should
happen
:
hée
tooke
them
with
him
,
and
they
did
serue
him
for
pages
.
And
time
did
serue
that
they
did
very
well
ser●…e
him
,
and
their
Father
and
mother
did
recompence
the
loue
which
they
bare
vnto
him
,
as
shall
bée
told
you
in
the
second
part
of
this
History
.
So
at
this
present
wee
wil
leaue
them
departed
from
the
Castell
,
to
tell
you
of
other
things
which
chaunced
in
this
time
.
Of
the
great
triumphes
which
were
made
in
Constantinople
for
the
comming
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
and
how
the
death
of
the
Prince
Edward
was
bruted
in
great
Britaine
,
and
of
all
that
happened
.

THe
great
sorrow
and
heauinesse
which
the
Grecians
receiued
for
the
losse
of
their
Emperour
Trebatio
was
not
so
much
,
but
that
the
ioye
and
pleasure
was
much
more
which
they
possessed
for
his
vnlooked
for
retourne
,
and
that
was
well
séene
and
perceiued
generally
in
all
estates
,
the
knights
in
ordeining
and
making
great
Iustes
and
Tourneies
,
and
other
militarie
exercises
,
and
others
in
inuenting
new
deuises
of
playes
,
and
occasions
of
ioy
and
pleasure
,
in
such
sort
,
that
throughout
all
the
whole
Empire
they
practised
no
other
thing
but
pastimes
and
pleasure
,
as
well
in
the
one
sort
of
people
as
in
the
other
,
&
that
which
was
most
to
bee
considered
of
,
was
,
that
this
mightie
Emperour
,
the
more
for
to
reioyce
and
pleasure
his
owne
subiects
,
dyd
commaund
to
bée
proclaymed
a
solempne
Iust
,
not
onely
in
the
Countries
bée
longing
vnto
the
Empire
,
but
also
in
all
the
Kingdomes
and
Prouinces
thereto
adioyning
,
giuing
and
graunting
safe
conduct
to
all
that
euer
would
come
thether
,
as
well
Pagans
as
Christians
,
of
what
kinde
of
law
and
sect
so
euer
they
were
,
and
for
that
these
Iusts
were
published
in
many
parts
,
and
that
the
Emperour
gaue
frée
and
safe
conduct
,
what
with
some
for
to
sée
what
passed
,
and
other
some
to
proue
themselues
in
the
iusts
,
there
came
so
many
knights
that
it
was
a
straunge
thing
to
beehold
,
and
euery
day
there
was
great
Iusts
and
〈◊〉
in
the
mightie
Citie
of
Constantinople
,
whereas
the
worthy
and
valiant
knights
dyd
giue
testimony
of
their
great
bounty
,
and
either
of
them
did
labour
and
trauaile
for
to
get
honor
,
but
they
which
did
shew
themselues
most
gallantest
and
valiant
in
those
iusts
,
were
Rodamarte
P●…ince
of
Sardenia
,
sonne
vnto
Alselo
,
who
was
one
of
the
twelue
that
went
with
the
Emperour
Trebatio
to
the
Monasterie
of
the
riuer
&
Alpino
,
Lord
of
Lemos
,
and
Rodofeo
,
Prince
of
the
Rhodes
,
&
Artidoro
Prince
of
Candia
,
all
yong
men
and
amoro●…s
,
who
for
their
great
knighthood
dyd
get
exceeding
same
at
these
feasts
and
iusts
.
In
these
pastimes
ther
passed
many
daies
,
and
euery
day
there
came
new
and
strange
knights
,
vnto
whom
the
Emperour
Trebatio
did
much
honour
,
and
did
spend
liberally
amongst
them
a
great
part
of
his
terasury
,
and
for
that
these
feasts
&
pastimes
did
indure
very
long
,
&
that
ther
succéeded
in
them
many
strange
things
,
as
shal
be
told
you
in
this
History
,
let
vs
leaue
them
new
béegun
,
and
tell
of
other
things
that
succéeded
in
this
ti●…e
,
which
is
very
needfull
for
this
present
Historie
:
for
as
much
as
the
returne
and
comming
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
was
published
in
all
places
,
and
that
the
manner
of
the
death
of
prince
Edward
was
knowen
.
The
newes
of
all
this
came
vnto
the
eares
of
the
king
Oliuerio
,
who
although
hée
had
almost
forgot
the
losse
of
the
Prince
,
by
reason
of
the
long
time
passed
since
it
happened
,
yet
these
new
news
of
his
death
was
so
dolorous
,
that
it
did
renue
within
his
thought
the
great
loue
which
hee
bare
vnto
him
,
as
vnto
his
sonne
,
that
in
a
small
time
they
thought
verely
hée
would
die
with
very
sorrow
,
but
the
principal
remedy
that
he
tooke
for
his
comfort
,
was
to
determine
himselfe
to
take
reuengement
for
the
Princes
death
vppon
the
Emperour
,
and
although
hi●…
power
was
not
so
great
as
the
power
of
the
Emperour
,
ye●…
hée
thought
that
the
king
Tiberio
to
fulfill
the
great
oblygation
in
the
which
hée
was
bound
vnto
him
,
would
giu●…
him
aide
and
succour
:
and
againe
the
Prince
Don
Silueri●…
would
likewise
succour
him
with
all
his
power
,
which
wa●…
very
great
,
giuing
him
for
spouse
his
daughter
the
Prince
Oliuia
,
according
as
he
had
determined
.
And
besides
this
,
the
king
of
Spaine
who
was
his
very
friend
,
would
succor
him
all
that
hée
could
,
&
héere
with
he
might
very
well
reuenge
himselfe
vpon
the
Emperour
,
and
destroy
all
his
Empire
.
All
this
the
king
determined
in
his
thought
,
&
the
great
passion
and
griefe
which
hée
had
for
the
death
of
his
son
,
would
not
suffer
any
other
thought
to
enter
in
his
breast
,
&
with
this
determination
he
sent
messengers
vnto
the
king
Tiberio
to
giue
him
to
vnderstand
how
hée
was
determined
to
hée
reuenged
for
the
death
of
his
son
,
&
desired
him
of
al
friendship
to
aide
him
in
his
determination
,
knowing
how
much
hée
was
bound
therto
,
for
that
he
was
slaine
in
his
seruice
.
And
touching
all
his
determination
he
did
write
him
a
letter
at
large
,
of
the
which
he
had
an
answere
againe
to
his
desire
,
for
that
the
king
Tiberio
acknowledging
how
much
hee
was
bound
vnto
him
,
could
doe
nothing
to
the
contrary
but
offer
himself
in
all
that
he
might
to
help
him
,
although
he
wished
for
his
part
that
all
were
excused
,
for
it
séemed
vnto
him
that
if
the
Emperour
Trebatio
slew
the
prince
Edward
,
it
was
with
his
speare
in
his
hand
,
&
in
battell
one
with
the
other
,
lyke
knights
,
and
therfore
he
should
not
be
blamed
in
such
sort
,
to
take
such
reuengement
against
him
,
and
although
he
had
all
this
within
his
thought
,
&
was
well
content
to
haue
the
Emperour
for
his
son
in
law
,
yet
hée
wold
not
giue
any
body
to
vnderstand
therof
,
for
that
he
was
a
king
which
alwaies
had
a
great
respect
in
matters
of
estimation
and
honour
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
the
king
Oliuerio
as
aforesaid
,
had
of
him
a
very
good
answere
,
and
to
his
contentment
.
Likewise
hée
wrote
to
the
king
of
Spaine
,
who
also
did
offer
vnto
him
all
hee
requested
when
hée
had
néede
thereof
.
In
the
meane
time
that
all
this
passed
,
the
king
Oliuerio
trauailed
with
the
Princesse
Oliuia
his
daughter
,
that
shée
should
think
wel
to
receiue
for
hir
spouse
the
Prince
Don
Siluerio
,
laying
before
hir
his
great
valure
,
and
the
necessitie
hee
had
of
him
:
so
considering
this
matter
many
times
the
king
did
importunate
hir
,
sometimes
with
requestes
,
and
other
times
with
threatenings
,
in
such
sort
that
this
fayre
.
Princesse
was
in
the
greatest
perplexity
that
euer
Lady
or
Gentlewoman
could
bee
,
and
euerie
moment
shee
desired
death
,
whereby
she
might
be
clee●…e
from
his
continuall
requests
,
and
which
she
had
determined
to
giue
hir selfe
,
when
shee
did
sée
that
there
was
no
other
remedie
.
Likewise
it
was
knowen
in
England
,
that
Rosicleer
the
young
knight
,
who
had
left
so
great
fame
in
all
that
countrie
,
was
sonne
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
and
the
Empresse
Briana
,
which
newes
did
greatly
content
all
people
.
And
when
the
Princesse
Oliuia
vnderstood
the
whole
misterie
,
one
way
hir
ioye
surmounted
,
in
seeing
that
hee
whom
shée
loued
more
then
hir
owne
selfe
,
was
sonne
vnto
so
mightie
an
Emperour
,
and
that
ther
was
not
betweene
them
the
kindred
which
shee
thought
had
béene
,
and
another
way
shee
dyd
greatly
repent
hir selfe
of
that
which
shée
had
done
against
him
,
and
the
more
was
hir
griefe
when
shee
called
to
remembrance
all
that
which
had
passed
,
insomuch
that
shée
did
nothing
else
but
wéepe
at
all
times
when
shée
was
alone
.
Now
after
the
king
hir
father
had
receiued
an
answere
from
the
King
Tiberio
,
and
from
the
King
of
Spaine
,
talking
with
Don
Siluerio
,
hée
gaue
him
to
vnderstand
his
determined
purpose
,
&
a
new
hée
di●…
offer
vnto
him
his
daughter
,
the
Lady
Oliuia
for
his
spouse
,
saying
that
first
beefore
hee
did
performe
the
same
,
it
should
be
great
reason
that
he
returne
into
his
kingdome
of
Lusitania
,
and
giue
his
parents
to
vnderstand
thereof
,
and
to
let
them
know
all
the
warre
that
hee
did
determine
to
béegin
against
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
for
that
hée
might
haue
his
people
in
a
readynesse
for
to
him
giue
all
the
ayde
and
succour
that
possiblie
hée
could
,
for
that
the
Prince
dyd
in●…irelie
loue
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
hee
desired
nothing
more
then
to
plesure
the
king
in
all
that
hée
could
,
so
that
straight
way
hée
did
promise
the
King
to
performe
all
that
hée
had
commanded
.
So
all
things
beeing
in
a
readinesse
that
was
necessarie
for
his
voyage
,
hee
went
to
sea
,
and
tooke
his
way
towardes
the
Kingdome
of
Lusitania
,
whom
this
Historie
dooth
leaue
till
time
dooch
serue
,
for
to
tell
you
of
the
thrée
worthie
Princesse

these
thrée
excellent
Princes
,
Bargandell
,
Lyriamandro
,
and
the
Tartarian
Zoylo
,
not
for
that
their
worthie
deedes
of
Knighthoode
are
not
worthie
to
bée
spoken
off
,
but
onely
for
that
wee

of
Trebatio
and
his
children
,
that
this
historie

kingdome
of
●…ngland
,
to
goe
and
seeke
out
their
vory
friend
Rosicleer
,
and
after
a
long
time
that
they
trauailed
by
sea
,
in
the
ende
they
ariued
in
the
Empire
of
Trabisond
,
whereas
they
saw
that
fayre
Princesse
Claridiana
,
who
dyd
put
them
in
great
admiration
onelie
for
to
bée
hold
hir
high
and
mightie
deedes
of
knighthoode
,
and
hir
straunge
demeanour
,
with
the
excellent
grace
and
curtesie
that
she
vsed
with
all
men
,
so
in
the
end
of
certaine
daies
that
they
there
remained
,
they
did
take
their
leaue
of
the
Princes
,
and
departed
out
of
that
Countrie
,
and
went
againe
vnto
the
Sea
,
without
any
other
determination
whether
to
goe
,
but
onelie
whether
theyr
fortune
would
bring
them
.
Now
the
History
saith
,
that
in
this
sort
they
dyd
nauigate
by
Sea
a
long
time
,
till
it
happened
vpon
a
day
verie
earely
in
the
morning
they
discouered
land
,
which
being
knowen
by
the
marriners
,
they
said
that
it
was
the
Kingdome
of
Lusitania
.
And
when
these
three
Princes
vnderstood
the
certantie
thereof
,
they
determined
there
to
goe
a
land
hoping
that
they
should
heare
some
newes
of
their
friend
Rosicleer
,
for
that
they
were
certaine
whersoeuer
hee
did
beecome
,
his
noble
valiantnesse
was
such
,
that
it
would
be
noised
throughout
all
the
Countrie
.
Wherefore
they
left
the
sea
,
and
beeing
a
land
they
tooke
their
Horsses
and
followed
the
way
which
they
liked
best
,
and
trauailed
by
it
a
good
while
,
which
in
the
ende
brought
them
vnto
the
top
of
a
mighty
〈◊〉
,
from
whence
they
did
discouer
somwhat
a
far
of
,
a
mighty
great
plaine
,
and
in
the
most
therof
was
scituated
a
faire
Citie
,
hard
by
a
riuers
side
,
which
seemed
to
be
very
great
&
huge
.
Also
they
saw
without
the
citie
in
the
fi●…lds
a
great
armie
of
knights
and
men
of
war
,
with
many
tents
&
〈◊〉
,
by
which
these
thrée
Princes
vnderstood
that
the
Citie
was
besiged
,
and
thervpon
they
consulted
amongst
themselues
what
was
best
to
be
done
,
so
in
the
ende
of
many
spéeches
they
determined
to
goe
into
the
camp
,
&
ther
to
informe
themselues
of
the
occasion
of
those
wars
,
&
knowing
the
truth
they
would
leane
vnto
the
part
that
they
thought
had
most
reason
,
therewith
they
descended
into
the
plaine
,
&
trau●…iled
by
it
til
they
came
vnto
the
armie
,
&
straight
way
there
came
out
against
them
more
then
twentie
knights
,
to
know
whether
they
were
their
friends
or
their
enimies
.
Then
these
Knights
did
compasse
the
Princes
round
about
,
&
demanded
of
them
from
whence
they
came
,
&
what
they
sought
in
those
parts
,
and
they
answered
that
they
were
straunge
Knights
,
and
not
knowen
in
that
countrie
,
and
for
that
they
had
seene
their
camp
they
came
thether
as
Knights
that
doth
s●…rue
for
wages
,
Then
those
of
the
camp
when
they
heard
their
answere
,
&
saw
that
they
séemed
to
be
Knights
of
estimation
,
as
wel
by
their
rich
armor
which
they
had
,
as
by
their
good
&
gentle
dispositions
,
determined
to
conduct
them
before
the
king
their
Lord
,
for
that
he
might
determine
with
them
at
his
plesure
,
and
so
they
brought
them
before
their
Lord
,
who
was
king
of
Balachia
,
which
pretended
to
take
the
kingdome
o●…
Lufitania
(
for
that
it
bordered
vpon
him
)
and
entred
into
that
countrie
with
a
mightie
armie
,
and
shée
that
was
Lady
&
gouernour
at
that
time
was
widow
woman
called
Lauinia
,
who
had
a
daughter
whose
name
was
Olimpa
,
a
verie
fayre
Damsell
,
and
by
reason
that
shee
had
no
husband
,
neither
power
to
bee
compared
vnto
the
King
of
Balachia
,
was
béesiged
in
the
same
Citie
,
defending
hir selfe
within
with
such
people
as
she
had
,
in
the
best
maner
that
shée
might
.
All
this
was
told
vnto
these
princes
in
the
way
as
they
went
before
the
king
.
When
they
came
before
the
king
of
Balachia
they
found
him
in
his
tent
,
accompanied
with
many
knights
and
on
the
one
side
of
him
there
was
a
Gyant
,
of
a
meruailous
huge
&
big
stature
,
and
of
so
horrible
and
fierce
a
countenance
,
that
it
would
make
one
afraide
to
looke
vpon
him
,
and
when
the
king
saw
those
three
knights
,
he
asked
of
them
of
whence
they
were
,
&
likewise
if
it
pleased
them
to
serue
him
in
his
wars
.
The
Tartarian
Zoylo
who
could
speake
the
language
,
was
requested
of
the
rest
of
his
companions
to
answere
for
them
,
who
sayde
.
You
shall
vnderstand
O
king
of
Balachia
,
that
wée
are
trauailing
knights
,
&
of
the
countrie
of
Tartaria
,
and
do
trauell
into
the
world
to
séeke
our
aduentures
,
and
although
we
be
exercised
in
the
wars
,
yet
wée
are
accustomed
to
serue
none
in
them
,
except
first
wée
know
what
our
wages
shal
bée
,
and
it
is
in
this
order
as
I
will
tell
you
,
and
therof
there
is
not
to
be
diminished
or
taken
away
any
thing
,
so
that
we
thrée
will
iust
with
all
such
knights
as
will
come
foorth
against
vs
till
such
time
as
wée
bée
ouerthrowen
,
and
if
so
fall
out
that
wee
at
the
first
encounter
bée
ouerthrowen
,
then
we
thrée
will
serue
thée
one
whole
yéere
for
nothing
,
and
if
it
bée
our
fortune
to
ouerthrow
any
,
them
either
of
vs
so
many
knights
as
is
ouer
throwen
by
vs
,
looke
how
much
wages
all
they
together
haue
,
so
much
must
either
of
vs
haue
,
according
to
the
number
that
hée
doth
ouerthrow
.
This
is
our
vse
and
custome
of
seruice
in
the
wars
,
therfore
O
king
,
looke
if
that
this
our
manner
of
seruice
content
thée
,
and
if
not
,
giue
vs
lysence
to
depart
,
that
wée
may
goe
to
some
other
place
to
séeke
our
aduenture
.
When
the
Tartarian
Zoylo
had
made
an
end
of
this
his
spéech
,
the
king
and
all
that
were
in
his
Tent
laughed
very
much
at
that
which
was
spoken
,
not
for
that
they
did
think
much
in
the
wages
which
they
did
aske
,
but
for
that
ther
séemed
to
be
amongst
them
Knights
,
that
if
they
might
come
forth
to
the
iust
with
them
,
at
the
first
should
remaine
and
serue
a
whole
yeare
without
any
wages
,
and
for
that
they
knew
this
for
a
certaintie
,
the
king
did
straight
way
graunt
vnto
all
that
which
the
Tartarian
Zoylo
had
demanded
,
and
sayd
that
hée
was
verie
well
content
to
stand
vnto
that
should
happen
,
and
the
matter
being
by
all
them
agréed
vppon
,
these
thrée
Princes
went
out
of
the
Campe
into
the
plaine
field
,
wheras
they
might
iust
at
their
pleasure
.
Likewise
the
King
went
foorth
with
his
principall
Knights
,
such
as
did
serue
him
for
wages
,
to
sée
what
should
happen
.
Now
the
king
commanded
straight
way
perticularly
the
best
and
most
valyauntest
Knights
that
were
in
all
the
Camp
should
come
forth
to
iust
with
the
thrée
Princes
,
who
were
in
a
redinesse
a
horseback
with
their
speares
in
their
handes
,
abiding
the
comming
of
those
who
should
iust
with
them
.
The
first
which
came
foorth
to
iust
with
them
,
were
thrée
valiant
Knights
,
of
a
mightie
proportion
and
stature
,
such
as
in
all
the
camp
could
not
bée
found
the
lyke
,
and
béeing
in
their
places
one
agaynst
another
,
they
made
themselues
ready
vnto
the
iust
,
but
whosoeuer
had
séene
them
at
that
time
,
would
haue
iudged
the
thrée
Princes
at
the
first
encounter
should
haue
remayned
without
any
wages
,
and
especially
the
King
who
laughed
at
the
accord
which
was
made
beetwixt
them
,
but
it
fell
out
cleane
contrarie
vnto
their
thought
,
for
that
all
sixe
together
mette
in
the
middest
of
their
course
,
and
the
three
Knights
of
the
Campe
broke
their
speares
vpon
the
Princes
without
moouing
of
them
in
their
Saddles
,
but
the
Princes
made
their
encounter
with
so
great
force
,
that
they
hoised
them
out
of
their
saddles
,
in
such
sort
that
they
tumbled
vpon
the
ground
,
and
passed
forwards
so
stiffe
and
vpright
in
their
course
,
that
they
put
the
King
and
all
those
that
dyd
beehold
them
in
great
admiration
,
but
not
long
after
there
came
forth
other
thrée
Knights
to
the
iust
,
which
were
also
thrée
of
the
best
and
most
estéemed
amongst
all
the
rest
,
and
looke
as
these
Princes
dyd
serue
the
first
,
so
dyd
they
serue
those
thrée
,
and
ouerthrew
them
to
the
ground
,
and
finally
in
the
space
of
one
houre
they
had
ouerthrowen
to
the
number
of
fiftéene
Knights
of
the
most
valiantest
&
worthiest
amongst
them
all
.
Then
the
King
found
himselfe
halfe
ashamed
&
mocked
,
with
the
bargaine
he
had
made
with
them
,
&
it
seemed
vnto
him
that
according
vnto
their
great
valiantnes
&
strength
,
they
would
haue
ouerthrowen
all
the
knights
that
were
in
the
campe
,
the
one
after
the
other
,
so
that
according
vnto
the
bargaine
,
all
his
treasure
should
not
be
sufficient
to
pay
their
wages
.
When
that
mightie
&
monstrous
Gyant
that
was
with
the
King
saw
him
that
he
was
somewhat
sad
&
heauy
for
that
which
the
Knights
had
done
,
he
commaunded
straight
way
to
be
brought
vnto
him
a
horse
which
was
very
great
&
conformable
vnto
his
bignesse
,
&
straight
way
he
leaped
vppon
him
,
&
chose
one
of
the
bigest
speares
that
he
could
finde
amongst
all
the
rest
,
&
said
vnto
the
king
that
he
would
iust
with
those
Knights
,
&
bad
them
come
all
thrée
against
him
,
and
that
he
hoped
so
to
intreat
them
in
the
iust
,
that
afterward
they
should
neyther
bee
able
to
take
wages
nor
to
weare
armour
.
The
King
receiued
great
delight
when
hée
saw
the
Gyant
on
horsbacke
,
&
was
very
certaine
that
his
power
and
strength
was
to
performe
all
that
which
hée
had
said
,
yea
,
if
they
had
béene
ten
such
knights
together
as
they
were
.
And
when
this
proud
&
furtous
Gyant
was
in
a
readines
to
the
iust
,
these
valtant
Princes
who
were
very
desirous
to
get
honour
,
either
of
them
did
procure
to
proue
their
aduenture
with
him
,
but
this
mighty
Tartarian
with
many
requests
vnto
his
companions
did
begin
to
iust
with
this
mightie
Gyant
,
&
when
the
Gyant
saw
that
alone
knight
did
put
himselfe
before
him
,
he
would
not
moue
one
iot
from
the
place
whereas
he
was
,
but
cried
out
vnto
the
knights
,
that
they
should
come
forth
against
him
all
thrée
.
But
when
hée
saw
his
words
did
little
profit
him
,
with
great
fury
&
infernall
courage
he
made
his
course
against
the
valiant
Tartarian
,
who
with
a
worthy
courage
,
as
one
that
was
both
stout
&
strong
of
hart
,
broched
his
horse
with
the
spurs
and
went
forth
to
méet
him
,
&
in
the
middest
of
their
course
they
met
so
strongly
together
,
that
their
great
speares
were
broken
into
small
shiuers
&
this
stout
Tartarian
did
double
with
his
body
backwards
,
in
such
sort
that
his
head
strike
di●…
vpon
the
Horse
crouper
,
&
being
somewhat
astonied
with
that
strong
incounter
,
he
passed
forwards
on
his
Horse
,
&
straight
waies
did
settle
himselfe
agayne
in
the
saddle
,
but
the
strong
&
deformed
Gyant
,
Horse
&
all
fell
downe
vnto
the
ground
,
with
which
fall
they
made
a
meruaylous
great
noise
,
&
he
had
his
saddle
fast
betwixt
his
legges
.
When
the
King
Balachia
saw
his
Gyant
on
the
earth
,
he
was
very
heauy
in
his
hart
,
and
commaunded
that
no
more
Knights
should
come
forth
to
the
iust
,
but
that
the
three
Princes
should
be
brought
before
him
,
at
which
time
the
monstrous
giant
did
arise
from
the
ground
,
and
drew
out
a
great
&
mighty
fauchon
which
he
had
at
his
girdle
,
&
went
towards
the
Princes
&
said
,
that
they
all
thrée
together
should
make
battaile
with
him
.
The
thrée
Princes
not
making
any
reckoning
of
his
wordes
,
on
horsebacke
as
they
were
,
went
before
the
King
,
and
asked
him
if
he
were
content
to
pay
them
theyr
bargaine
that
was
made
betwixt
them
,
if
not
,
they
would
depart
vnto
some
other
place
whereas
they
thought
best
.
Then
the
King
who
was
meruaylous
angrye
and
offended
with
them
,
aunswered
and
sayd
▪
I
will
that
you
serue
me
in
this
my
warres
,
and
afterward
it
shall
be
at
my
pleasure
to
pay
you
for
your
seruice
,
and
if
you
will
graunt
vnto
this
with
a
good
will
doe
it
,
if
not
I
will
make
you
perforce
.
Then
these
three
Princes
who
had
no
desire
to
tary
ther
,
although
the
King
would
giue
them
all
the
treasure
that
hee
had
,
but
onely
intended
to
serue
and
helpe
the
Quéene
Lauinia
,
for
that
it
seemed
vnto
them
that
shée
had
most
right
,
without
speaking
any
word
vnto
the
King
tourned
about
their
horses
,
and
tooke
their
way
towardes
a
great
bridge
of
stone
,
which
passed
ouer
the
riuer
,
and
at
the
farther
end
therof
was
the
gate
of
the
Citie
,
and
vpon
the
said
brige
and
wal●…
of
the
Citie
there
were
many
people
,
and
because
the
campe
was
very
nigh
the
citie
,
they
might
well
discerne
all
that
had
passed
with
the
thrée
Princes
,
and
what
they
had
done
,
and
very
much
meruailed
to
what
purpose
it
was
done
,
and
could
not
imagine
who
those
thrée
valiant
knights
should
be
.
Now
when
the
King
Balachia
saw
that
the
thrée
Princes
went
their
way
,
with
great
wrath
&
anger
he
began
to
cry
out
with
a
loude
voice
vnto
his
knights
commaunding
them
to
take
them
perforce
.
At
which
commandement
many
of
his
Knightes
did
follow
them
with
as
great
spe●…d
as
their
horses
could
run
,
but
before
they
could
ouertake
them
,
these
three
Princes
,
were
entred
vpon
the
bridge
.
And
when
they
saw
so
many
people
following
them
they
drew
out
their
swords
&
turned
backe
vpon
them
.
And
wounded
many
of
them
.
But
by
reason
of
the
great
company
that
assualted
them
,
they
were
put
to
great
extremitie
,
&
forced
to
retire
backewards
towards
the
citie
.
And
by
reason
that
the
bridge
was
somwhat
narow
,
it
did
profit
them
very
much
in
that
their
enimies
could
not
assault
them
but
all
before
,
to
whom
they
did
very
great
harme
.
This
battaile
indured
betwixt
them
more
then
halfe
an
houre
,
in
which
time
they
slew
of
their
enemies
more
then
twentie
Knights
.
And
when
those
which
were
within
the
citie
saw
all
that
passed
,
they
thought
it
best
to
open
the
gates
vnto
those
Knights
,
that
so
valiantly
&
with
great
strength
defended
themselues
,
&
determined
to
retaine
them
,
on
their
part
,
to
help
them
to
make
defence
against
their
enimies
,
for
that
they
did
withdraw
themselues
towards
the
Citie
.
This
determination
they
performed
for
as
these
thrée
Princes
did
by
little
and
little
retire
towards
the
gates
of
the
citie
,
so
when
they
came
nigh
them
,
they
that
were
vpon
the
walles
and
battilments
of
the
citie
,
did
shoote
many
arrowes
,
and
threw
stones
,
and
other
things
at
their
enimies
,
with
the
which
they
did
them
very
great
harme
,
and
made
them
to
retire
backwards
,
by
reason
whereof
they
had
space
for
to
open
a
〈◊〉
doore
of
the
Gates
,
by
the
which
the
thrée
Princes
entered
in
,
and
the
Poster●…e
being
〈◊〉
againe
they
of
the
citie
receiued
them
very
w●…l
,
and
gaue
them
good
intertainment
,
and
much
meruailed
at
their
great
valour
&
strength
,
&
the
Princes
with
like
curtesie
did
returne
them
thankes
for
that
which
they
had
done
,
and
that
in
their
defence
they
would
doe
all
that
euer
was
in
their
powers
.
There
was
amongst
these
people
a
knight
who
was
principall
of
them
,
&
had
the
charge
ouer
that
gate
,
and
this
Knight
carryed
the
three
Princes
before
the
Quéene
Lauinia
,
accompanied
with
many
other
knights
&
Gentlemen
,
and
when
they
came
before
hir
,
they
gaue
hir
to
vnderstand
of
all
that
they
had
seene
those
three
knights
doe
,
&
how
they
came
of
their
owne
good
will
to
serue
hir
in
hir
wars
.
The
Quéene
when
she
heard
that
which
the
knight
had
told
hir
,
receiued
great
ioy
in
their
gentle
disposition
&
good
proportion
,
receiuing
them
very
curteously
,
and
doing
them
all
the
honour
she
could
,
&
offering
hir selfe
wholy
vnto
them
,
&
like
▪
did
aduertise
them
of
the
small
reason
that
the
King
had
to
besiege
them
.
These
Princes
answered
hir
with
wonted
curtesie
,
and
did
offer
themselues
vnto
the
Quéene
so
liberally
that
she
was
almost
satisfied
of
the
sauegard
of
hir
citie
.
Then
they
remayned
ther
all
that
day
without
doing
any
other
thing
,
and
the
King
of
Balachia
remayned
in
his
camp●…
with
great
anger
and
sorrowfull
heauinesse
,
that
those
thrée
Knights
were
gone
from
him
in
that
order
,
and
did
sweare
a
mightie
oath
that
he
would
make
them
die
an
euill
death
,
if
he
might
get
them
into
his
power
.
And
although
hée
had
,
at
this
present
great
wrath
against
them
,
ther
did
not
passe
very
long
time
after
,
but
that
they
did
grieue
him
much
more
,
and
made
him
repent
himself
for
that
he
did
not
giue
them
better
intertainment
,
when
they
first
entred
into
his
campe
,
as
in
this
chapter
following
shall
be
told
you
.
¶
How
the
three
Princes
Bargandell
,
Lyriamandro
,
and
the
Tartarian
Zoylo
,
issued
forth
with
such
people
as
were
in
the
citie
,
vnto
the
camp
of
their
enimies
,
and
of
the
mighty
deed
of
armes
that
they
did
there
.
Chap.
13.
WHen
the
next
day
was
come
,
these
thrée
princes
were
very
desirous
to
go
forth
of
the
citie
against
their
enimies
,
and
to
raise
vp
the
sege
that
was
against
the
citie
,
and
set
at
libertie
the
Queene
Lauinia
,
from
that
inconueniens
.
They
requested
to
know
what
company
of
people
were
in
the
citie
.
And
m●…stering
them
they
found
that
ther
were
in
all
,
a
thousand
Knights
,
&
three
thousand
footemen
,
all
well
armed
,
&
very
couragious
,
for
to
doe
all
that
which
was
commaunded
vnto
them
.
And
they
were
certified
that
in
the
campe
of
their
enemies
,
ther
might
bee
fiue
thousand
Knights
,
and
vi
.
thousand
footemen
.
Yet
for
all
that
it
seemed
vnto
the
valiaunt
stomakes
of
these
Princes
,
that
they
might
goe
forth
,
with
the
people
which
they
had
,
to
giue
the
assalt
and
attempt
against
their
enimies
.
So
straight
way
they
commanded
that
euery
man
should
make
him
ready
,
&
this
being
done
,
they
left
the
citie
well
prouided
&
in
good
gard
:
&
commaunded
the
gates
of
the
citie
to
be
opened
,
&
they
issued
out
,
in
very
good
order
.
In
the
foreward
went
these
three
mightie
and
worthy
Princes
,
and
all
the
rest
when
they
saw
them
so
mightie
and
well
proporcioned
of
members
,
and
very
stout
,
receyued
great
courage
.
Then
those
which
were
in
the
companie
without
,
when
they
saw
the
people
of
the
citie
came
forth
,
they
were
greatly
amazed
,
and
did
verely
beléeue
that
those
thrée
Knightes
had
hartened
and
giuen
them
courage
to
attempt
the
field
.
The
King
strayght
way
commaunded
that
all
his
people
should
bee
put
in
order
with
all
spée●…
possible
:
but
by
reason
that
their
enimies
came
vpon
them
vnawares
,
before
they
could
be
in
order
,
they
were
assalted
of
them
,
&
receiued
great
damage
,
and
yet
it
could
little
haue
aduauntaged
them
,
if
the
three
Princes
had
not
beene
ther
,
who
beeing
in
the
fore
front
,
dyd
wounde
,
kill
and
ouerthrow
all
that
came
before
them
,
and
put
themselues
so
far
amongst
their
enemies
,
that
their
owne
people
could
not
follow
them
,
without
great
trauaile
.
So
when
the
King
saw
this
great
destruction
which
the
thrée
Knights
made
amongst
his
Knights
,
he
pulled
himselfe
by
the
beard
,
and
blasphemed
against
himselfe
,
for
that
when
he
had
them
in
his
tent
,
he
dyd
not
commaund
that
they
should
be
taken
&
put
to
a
cruell
death
.
Then
the
huge
&
monstrous
Gyant
which
was
ther
,
left
the
King
,
&
pressed
in
great
hast
towards
that
place
whereas
the
thrée
Princes
were
:
&
the
first
that
he
met
with
all
was
with
the
Tartarian
Zoylo
,
&
when
he
knew
him
to
be
the
same
that
did
ouerthrow
him
in
the
Iust
,
he
was
very
ioyfull
therof
,
&
made
towards
him
.
When
this
aproued
and
worthy
Tartarian
saw
him
comming
,
with
a
valiant
&
stout
courage
,
he
did
abide
him
:
so
that
betwixt
them
there
began
a
stout
&
well
foughten
battayle
.
And
although
the
Giant
was
very
great
&
monstrous
,
and
had
aduantage
by
his
mightie
members
,
and
great
strength
,
yet
to
oppose
against
the
same
,
the
Prince
of
Tartarie
,
had
very
good
armour
,
made
by
art
magicke
,
in
such
sort
,
that
by
no
meanes
it
could
not
be
cut
nor
broken
.
So
that
he
did
strike
at
this
furious
Gyant
so
mighty
&
terrible
blowes
,
that
many
times
he
pearced
both
his
armour
&
flesh
,
that
the
blood
ran
out
in
diuers
places
.
At
the
same
time
the
other
two
worthy
Princes
,
Bargandell
and
Lyriamandro
did
meruailous
déedes
of
armes
,
and
were
all
to
be
brewed
in
blood
,
with
the
great
number
which
they
hadde
slayne
:
&
were
so
feared
amongst
their
enimies
,
that
whersoeuer
they
went
,
they
made
them
way
.
And
when
their
owne
people
dyd
sée
the
great
valiantnesse
and
worthy
déedes
which
they
did
,
they
receiued
great
courage
,
and
dyd
very
great
harme
and
damage
vpon
their
enimies
.
And
although
this
dyd
indure
for
a
while
,
yet
it
could
not
endure
no
longer
then
the
whole
campe
was
gathered
together
&
put
in
order
.
And
for
that
they
were
a
great
number
more
then
those
of
the
citie
,
with
great
violence
they
pressed
vpon
them
,
in
such
sort
,
that
these
two
Princes
could
not
chuse
but
perforce
they
must
retyre
backewardes
.
And
when
the
Tartarian
Zoylo
,
who
was
in
battaile
with
the
Giant
perceued
that
his
companions
did
retire
,
he
thought
it
not
wisdome
to
remaine
there
alone
amongst
so
many
,
but
at
that
instant
he
left
the
Gyant
&
put
himselfe
amongst
his
companions
,
making
them
to
retire
in
very
good
order
,
that
their
enimies
might
not
do
them
any
harme
.
The
giant
when
hée
saw
himselfe
cléere
from
his
enemie
,
he
was
not
sory
for
it
,
but
departed
&
made
no
accompt
of
him
,
for
that
his
courage
was
abated
in
méeting
his
match
.
So
all
those
of
the
citie
retired
,
vntill
they
came
vpon
the
bridge
,
&
in
good
order
they
entred
into
the
citie
.
And
although
their
enimies
would
haue
entred
in
with
them
,
yet
the
thrée
Princes
which
were
the
last
,
&
those
souldiers
which
were
vpon
the
wals
and
battilments
,
did
defend
the
entry
so
that
they
returned
vnto
the
camp
,
wher
as
they
found
the
King
very
heauy
&
sad
,
to
sée
the
great
damage
which
he
had
receued
that
day
of
his
enimies
,
&
the
great
number
which
he
saw
those
thrée
Knights
to
kill
,
who
before
he
had
in
little
estima●…ion
.
On
the
other
side
,
those
of
the
citie
receiued
great
ioye
,
as
well
for
that
which
they
had
done
,
as
to
haue
on
their
part
those
three
knights
,
with
whom
they
recouered
more
hart
&
courage
than
before
.
In
the
time
of
all
this
conflict
the
Quéene
Lauinia
,
&
hi●…
daughter
Olimpia
,
were
vpon
the
top
of
a
tower
that
was
night
the
walles
of
the
citie
,
from
which
place
they
did
sée
all
that
passed
.
And
when
they
saw
the
thrée
Princes
comming
,
with
great
ioy
and
pleasure
,
they
went
farther
to
receiue
them
,
&
did
them
snch
honor
,
as
vnto
those
(
next
vnto
God
)
she
put
hir
whole
trust
&
confidence
in
:
not
doubting
by
them
to
be
deliuered
from
that
great
wrong
done
vnto
hi●…
.
So
ther
they
rested
themselues
,
the
rest
of
the
day
which
remained
,
till
the
next
day
was
come
,
in
the
which
they
dyd
all
,
as
shal
be
told
you
in
this
chapter
following
.
¶
How
these
three
Princes
went
forth
the
second
time
into
●…he
camp
,
and
were
taken
prisoners
by
their
enemies
.
ea
14.
THE
sorrow
&
griefe
which
the
King
of
Balachia
receued
was
very
much
,
as
well
for
the
slaughter
&
harm
don
〈◊〉
his
people
,
as
also
for
the
comming
of
those
thrée
knights
to
them
of
the
citie
,
by
whom
they
had
recouered
such
courage
:
whereas
before
they
were
at
a
point
to
yéelde
themselues
.
And
it
séemed
vnto
him
,
that
according
as
that
day
they
came
forth
vpon
them
,
so
they
would
doe
it
oftner
,
&
did
imagine
within
himselfe
how
&
by
what
meanes
he
might
be
reuenged
on
those
thrée
knights
,
&
take
away
from
his
aduersaries
the
force
and
aide
which
they
had
of
them
.
And
hauing
determined
with
himselfe
what
was
best
to
be
done
,
he
commaunded
to
call
vnto
him
the
Gyant
whose
name
was
Fulgoso
,
&
when
he
came
before
him
he
sayd
,
doe
thus
which
I
commaund
thee
,
choose
in
all
the
whole
campe
a
thousand
knights
of
the
best
thou
canst
finde
,
and
in
a
readinesse
with
them
,
&
when
thou
dost
see
our
enimies
come
forth
of
the
citie
,
thou
&
all
these
knights
shall
haue
no
other
charge
,
but
to
take
the
three
knights
which
went
from
hence
,
and
bring
them
prisoners
before
mee
:
for
that
I
doe
sée
that
in
those
three
onely
resteth
the
force
&
strength
of
our
enimies
.
The
Gyant
who
was
no
lesse
wrathfull
,
then
the
King
,
with
a
very
good
will
did
promise
to
accomplish
all
that
he
had
commaunded
.
And
so
he
departed
from
the
king
,
&
began
to
choose
out
the
knights
that
should
serue
his
turne
for
that
attempt
,
and
vnto
euery
one
perticularly
he
gaue
his
charge
what
he
should
doe
.
So
they
were
all
in
a
readinesse
,
tarying
the
time
,
when
their
enemies
should
come
forth
.
And
all
the
rest
of
the
souldiers
were
continually
in
very
good
order
,
verye
destrous
to
be
reuenged
,
of
the
harme
which
they
had
before
receiued
.
When
the
next
morning
was
come
,
these
thrée
Princes
had
great
desire
to
finish
that
which
they
had
béegunne
,
for
that
they
would
follow
&
proserute
their
enterprise
:
wherfore
they
determined
to
goe
forth
of
the
citie
as
they
did
the
day
before
.
And
for
the
same
purpose
they
gathered
together
the
best
souldiers
that
were
in
all
the
citie
,
and
commaunded
the
gates
to
be
open
,
&
they
issued
out
in
very
good
order
.
Now
when
they
were
passed
the
bridge
,
they
set
vppon
their
enimes
,
whom
they
found
not
vnprouid●…d
,
as
the
day
beefore
,
but
in
a
readinesse
tarrying
their
comming
,
so
that
beetwixt
them
there
beegan
a
very
stout
and
well
fought●…n
battaile
,
and
there
these
three
princes
went
all
together
beefore
,
working
wonders
,
wounding
▪
killing
,
and
ouerthrowing
all
that
euer
they
met
,
in
such
sort
,
that
they
made
large
way
whereas
they
went
.
In
this
sort
indured
the
battaile
more
then
one
houre
,
and
all
things
went
well
with
them
of
the
Citie
,
but
sodeinly
came
vpon
them
the
Gyaunt
Fulgoso
with
his
thousand
knights
,
and
for
that
they
hadde
no
other
charge
but
to
take
these
thrée
Princes
,
they
straight
waies
compassed
them
about
,
in
such
sort
that
not
one
of
their
companie
could
come
nigh
them
by
a
great
space
.
Then
this
mightie
Gyaunt
béegan
the
battayle
alone
with
these
three
knights
,
for
that
according
vnto
his
force
and
strength
they
had
mough
to
doe
with
him
,
&
in
the
meane
time
that
they
were
in
battaile
with
the
Gyaunt
,
the
knights
of
the
Gyaunt
did
kill
their
horses
,
and
in
falling
vnto
the
ground
they
all
together
charged
themselues
vpon
them
,
and
with
the
help
of
the
Gyaunt
they
were
not
able
to
make
any
resistance
,
neither
was
theyr
great
prowesse
and
strength
sufficient
to
defend
themselues
,
but
that
they
must
néedes
bée
taken
prisoners
.
When
they
tooke
away
theyr
swords
,
and
pulled
of
their
Helmes
,
and
carried
them
beefore
the
king
,
who
was
in
his
Tent
,
very
ioyfull
when
hee
saw
them
brought
prisoners
.
And
by
reason
that
the
three
princes
did
lack
in
the
battaile
,
those
of
the
Citie
could
not
make
any
farther
resistance
against
their
aduersaries
,
and
therefore
they
did
retire
in
the
best
wise
they
could
into
the
Citie
,
and
when
they
found
missing
in
their
companie
the
thrée
knights
,
and
vnderstoode
that
they
were
prisoners
,
I
am
not
able
to
declare
their
great
sorrow
and
griefe
which
they
receiued
,
for
that
béesides
the
loue
they
bare
them
,
they
hoped
also
by
their
help
to
make
defence
against
theyr
foes
,
and
if
theyr
absence
and
lacke
was
left
amongst
the
common
people
,
much
more
was
the
griefe
that
the
Quéene
La●…ima
and
hir
Daughter
receiued
when
they
heard
that
sor●…owful
newes
,
so
that
it
seemed
that
they
were
past
all
hope
of
remedie
,
for
that
they
had
lost
those
thrée
knights
,
which
caused
them
to
bée
verie
heauie
,
and
could
dooe
nothing
but
weepe
.
And
now
to
returne
to
them
that
were
in
the
camp
,
the
Historie
sayth
that
the
King
and
all
the
rest
were
very
ioy●…ull
,
for
that
hée
had
in
his
power
the
thrée
knights
,
and
thought
that
hée
could
not
reuenge
himselfe
vppon
them
to
commaund
them
straight
wayes
to
bée
put
to
death
,
but
would
vse
some
other
straunger
reuengement
,
intending
to
kéepe
them
prisoners
in
such
cruell
prisons
,
whereas
they
should
by
little
and
little
bee
consumed
and
die
,
and
to
giue
them
euery
day
torments
,
béecause
their
ende
should
continue
long
,
and
would
not
suffer
that
at
once
they
should
bée
slaine
,
and
therewith
hee
commaunded
the
Gyaunt
Fulgoso
,
that
hée
should
take
vnto
him
twentie
knights
and
carri●…
them
vnto
the
castle
of
stone
which
hée
had
taken
,
that
was
but
thrée
miles
from
that
place
,
and
straight
way
the
giant
put
all
things
in
a
readinesse
,
and
bound
fast
the
hands
o●…
the
Princes
,
and
so
put
them
vpon
their
Horsses
,
and
with
twentie
Knightes
they
tooke
the
way
towards
the
Castle
,
whereas
the
king
had
commaunded
to
carrie
them
.
When
these
thrée
Princes
saw
themselues
so
carried
,
with
their
hands
bound
like
vnto
malefactors
,
they
were
very
heauie
and
sad
with
themselues
,
&
knew
not
what
to
do
,
but
to
haue
patience
at
that
sodaine
chance
and
mis fortune
,
not
hauing
any
other
comfort
,
but
to
receiue
their
death
with
a
verie
good
courage
,
in
what
sort
so
euer
they
would
giue
it
them
.
The
loue
of
these
Princes
was
so
much
the
one
vnto
the
other
,
and
their
great
valour
and
bountie
was
so
apparant
amongst
them
,
that
they
receiued
as
great
griefe
the
one
for
the
other
,
as
though
it
had
béene
perticularly
to
each
of
them
,
and
either
of
them
desired
to
dye
for
to
saue
the
other
two
of
his
companions
.
So
when
they
had
trauailed
from
the
campe
the
space
of
two
miles
,
they
passed
by
the
foote
of
a
smal
mountaine
,
and
when
these
thrée
Princes
lift
vp
their
eyes
for
to
béehould
that
Mountayne
,
they
saw
descending
from
the
top
thereof
a
knight
of
a
mighty
stature
of
his
bodie
,
and
of
a
good
disposition
,
verie
well
armed
and
mounted
vpon
a
good
Horse
,
who
séemed
by
his
demeanour
to
bee
a
knight
of
estimation
,
who
descended
the
mountaine
a
resonable
pace
,
and
came
towards
them
,
and
for
that
this
History
héer
after
will
declare
vnto
you
who
this
knight
was
,
hée
doth
leaue
all
at
this
present
,
till
time
doe
serue
to
tell
of
other
matters
.
How
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
going
towards
the
Empire
of
Grecia
,
should
haue
been
taken
by
treason
at
a
Bridge
,
and
of
all
that
passed
therein
.
Chapter
15.
THE
Historie
sayth
that
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
remained
eight
daies
in
the
Castle
of
Onorio
,
at
such
time
as
he
found
himselfe
whole
and
sound
,
and
felt
no
griefe
of
his
great
trauaile
which
hée
receiued
,
with
the
Gyant
&
his
knights
,
so
hée
tooke
his
leaue
of
the
Lord
of
the
Castle
,
and
of
his
daughter
Oliria
,
&
carried
with
him
his
two
sonnes
Aurelio
and
Bynano
,
whom
hée
gaue
vnto
him
for
to
bée
his
Pages
,
and
after
hée
had
a
long
time
trauailed
,
it
happened
vpon
a
day
somewhat
late
towards
the
euening
,
they
came
vnto
a
Bridge
which
was
vpon
the
riuer
Danubia
,
vpon
the
which
there
was
a
mightie
,
great
,
and
well
towred
Castell
,
one
of
the
most
strongest
that
euer
hée
saw
in
all
his
life
,
and
this
Castell
did
béelong
vnto
the
king
Tiberio
,
and
it
was
edified
there
very
strong
,
for
that
it
was
in
the
vttermost
partes
of
all
Hungaria
,
and
was
scituated
ther
for
that
his
enemies
could
not
enter
into
his
Countrie
with
any
armie
,
but
onely
that
way
,
by
reason
that
the
Riuer
there
was
verie
great
,
and
hée
that
was
Liefetenaunt
and
had
the
kéeping
of
the
Castell
,
was
the
Troyan
Earle
,
beefore
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
slew
him
,
and
after
his
death
the
King
dyd
commit
the
charge
and
kéeping
thereof
vnto
his
Brother
Florinaldus
,
for
that
hée
was
a
knight
of
great
estimatian
,
and
one
of
the
principallest
of
his
Court
,
who
not
forgetting
the
●…uill
will
which
he
had
conceiued
against
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
hee
determined
to
take
him
prisoner
in
that
Castell
,
and
when
by
force
hee
could
not
doo
it
,
hée
would
doo
it
by
treason
.
For
vnderstanding
of
a
certaintie
that
hee
could
not
passe
by
any
other
way
,
but
that
onely
,
as
it
in
déede
fell
out
,
that
at
such
time
as
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
should
come
thether
,
Florinaldus
was
within
the
Castell
with
more
then
twentie
knights
,
abiding
his
comming
.
So
when
the
knight
came
thether
,
hée
●…ound
the
gates
of
the
bridge
shut
,
which
was
vnder
that
mightie
Castle
,
and
hée
tooke
the
ring
of
the
gate
in
his
hand
and
gaue
great
strokes
,
at
which
noyse
there
appeared
at
a
window
a
very
faire
Gentlewoman
,
and
well
apparayled
,
and
when
shée
saw
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
shee
straight
waies
knew
him
by
the
tokens
shee
had
of
him
,
and
speaking
vnto
him
,
shée
sayd
:
What
is
it
that
you
would
haue
gentle
Knight
,
that
you
knocke
so
hard
at
the
gates
.
When
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
saw
the
Gentlewoman
,
saluting
hir
very
curteously
hée
replyed
:
That
which
I
would
haue
(
fayre
Gentlewoman
)
is
,
that
you
would
commaund
the
gates
to
be
opened
,
that
wée
may
passe
and
goe
forwards
on
our
iourney
,
for
that
according
as
it
hath
béene
tould
mée
,
there
is
no
other
way
to
passe
,
but
by
this
Bridge
.
I
am
very
well
content
to
doo●…
this
which
thou
dost
demaunde
,
saide
the
Gentlewoman
,
but
yet
first
thou
must
doe
that
which
other
Knights
doe
when
they
come
to
passe
this
way
.
What
is
that
which
I
must
doe
,
sayd
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
for
it
may
bee
such
a
thing
that
I
shall
haue
great
pleasure
and
delight
to
doo●…
it
.
That
which
thou
must
doe
said
the
Gentlewoman
,
is
to
iust
with
a
knight
,
&
if
it
so
fall
out
that
hée
doo
ouerthrow
thee
from
thy
horse
to
the
ground
,
thou
shalt
leaue
héere
thy
name
written
,
and
then
passe
forwardes
on
thy
iourney
,
and
if
so
●…ée
that
you
doo
ouerthrow
the
Knight
,
you
must
●…arrie
heere
all
night
,
and
receiue
the
honour
that
shall
bée
done
vnto
you
,
and
in
the
morning
you
may
depart
whether
your
pleasure
is
.
All
this
I
am
very
well
content
to
doo
,
sayd
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
therefore
commaund
that
the
gates
may
bée
opened
.
Tarrie
a
while
sayd
the
Gentlewoman
,
and
therewith
shee
withdrew
hir selfe
from
the
window
,
and
within
a
small
while
after
the
gates
were
opened
,
and
there
came
foorth
a
verie
big
and
well
proportioned
knight
,
mounted
vpon
a
good
horse
,
&
well
armed
,
séeming
to
bee
of
a
good
disposition
,
and
without
speaking
any
word
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
hée
went
and
put
himsel●…e
in
the
field
with
his
speare
in
his
hand
readie
vnto
the
iust
.
Then
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
tooke
his
speare
and
prepared
himselfe
,
and
beeing
both
in
a
readinesse
they
broched
their
horses
with
their
spurs
,
and
with
great
fury
and
force
they
made
their
incounter
,
which
was
in
such
sort
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
encountered
with
the
Knight
of
the
Bridge
with
so
great
force
,
that
hée
bare
him
ouer
the
horse
crouper
,
with
the
saddle
béetwixt
his
legs
,
and
hée
fell
downe
to
the
ground
,
and
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
passed
his
course
forwards
without
receiuing
any
harme
.
Then
the
Knight
who
was
throwen
downe
arose
vp
,
and
without
speaking
euer
a
word
went
into
the
Castle
.
This
Knight
was
Florinaldus
,
who
as
yet
did
not
acknowledge
himselfe
,
but
would
prooue
his
good
fortune
the
third
time
with
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
.
Then
the
Gentlewoman
which
spake
vnto
him
at
the
window
,
came
downe
vnto
the
gate
,
accompanied
with
other
two
Gentlewomen
,
and
when
shée
came
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
shée
sayde
.
Of
a
truth
gentle
knight
,
thy
great
bountie
is
such
,
that
vnto
thee
more
then
to
any
other
,
with
great
reason
wée
ought
to
giue
thée
seruice
and
honour
,
which
in
this
Castell
wée
bée
accustomed
to
doe
vnto
valiaunt
Knights
,
and
seeing
it
is
now
late
,
and
you
cannot
goe
farre
this
night
,
alight
from
your
horse
and
goe
wee
vp
into
the
Castle
,
&
rest
your selfe
,
whereas
wée
wil
doo
you
all
the
honour
that
possiblie
wée
may
.
The
Knight
of
the
Sunne
would
verie
faine
haue
procéeded
on
his
iourney
,
and
not
haue
stayed
there
,
but
considering
his
promise
,
and
againe
that
it
was
verie
late
,
hée
determined
to
accomplish
that
which
séemed
vnto
him
with
a
〈◊〉
good
will
the
Gentlewoman
had
desired
.
And
therewith
hée
dyd
alight
from
his
Horse
and
his
Pages
did
the
like
,
and
it
was
commaunded
that
their
Horses
should
bée
kept
in
good
order
,
and
the
Gentlewoman
went
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
〈◊〉
,
and
tooke
him
by
the
hand
and
lead
him
vp
into
the
castle
,
whereas
he
was
serued
and
banketted
with
〈◊〉
,
and
diuers
sorts
of
fruits
&
other
things
,
till
such
time
as
supper
was
made
readie
,
so
they
sat
downe
and
were
serued
with
diuers
kindes
of
meates
,
in
as
ample
manner
as
could
be
at
the
table
of
King
Tiberio
.
And
all
this
while
there
appeared
not
in
the
castle
one
knight
,
but
Gentlewomen
and
householde
seruaunts
,
at
which
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
was
greatly
amazed
,
and
asked
of
that
faire
Gentlewoman
what
was
become
of
the
knight
with
whom
hée
did
iust
.
And
the
Gentlewoman
answered
,
that
at
such
time
as
hée
is
ouerthrowne
by
any
knight
,
hée
neuer
dare
come
in
hir
presence
againe
,
till
such
time
as
he
hath
ouerthrowen
some
other
knight
.
And
in
talking
of
this
and
other
things
wherein
they
most
delighted
,
they
passed
the
time
away
till
it
was
time
to
goe
to
take
their
rest
,
then
ther
came
two
Gentlewomen
with
two
siluer
candlestickes
,
and
candles
therein
,
whereby
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
perceiued
▪
that
it
was
for
his
departure
to
bed
,
and
taking
leaue
of
that
faire
gentlewoman
,
hee
went
with
the
other
two
,
who
brought
him
vnto
a
chamber
which
was
very
faire
and
richly
hanged
,
in
the
which
was
a
rich
bed
,
wherefore
hee
greatly
meruayled
at
the
honour
which
they
did
vnto
him
So
when
hee
came
into
the
chamber
the
Gentlewomen
left
the
Candles
and
departed
,
and
his
Pages
did
vnarme
their
Lord
,
and
hée
went
into
the
bedde
,
one
of
the
Pages
who
was
called
Bynnano
was
of
a
verie
prompt
wit
and
vnderstanding
,
and
verie
craftie
in
all
his
beings
,
and
hee
seeing
the
great
honour
which
they
did
vnto
his
Lord
,
not
knowing
him
,
and
that
there
was
not
se●…ne
in
all
the
Castle
a
knight
sturring
,
neither
the
knight
that
was
ouerthrowen
in
the
iust
,
mistrusted
some
thing
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
hée
perused
verie
well
all
the
chamber
round
about
whereas
his
Lord
should
sléepe
,
and
lifting
vp
a
cloath
of
Tapisterie
which
hung
vppon
a
wall
in
the
same
chamber
,
hee
discouered
a
halfe
doore
béehinde
it
,
which
had
neither
locke
nor
boult
,
at
the
which
hée
receiued
little
pleasure
,
but
went
vnto
his
Lord
and
tolde
him
of
it
,
saying
.
My
Lord
,
you
haue
trauailed
many
daies
in
this
Countrie
of
Hungaria
,
and
by
your
great
valiant
knighthood
,
you
haue
got
vnto
your selfe
many
friends
,
and
on
the
contrarie
likewise
many
enimies
,
therefore
where
so
euer
you
doe
come
in
any
place
,
and
the
parties
in
that
place
not
béeing
by
you
knowen
,
it
is
requisite
to
haue
some
iealousie
,
and
to
mistrust
the
worst
,
especially
alwaies
to
bee
well
a●…uised
,
for
that
with
great
ease
by
the
way
of
treason
,
a
coward
and
weake
person
doth
take
reuengement
of
a
worthy
and
valiaunt
knight
,
and
this
considered
,
so
much
the
more
as
a
man
is
couragious
,
so
much
the
lesse
ought
he
to
trust
.
I
haue
héere
very
well
considered
of
the
great
honor
which
in
this
Castle
they
haue
done
vnto
you
,
without
knowing
you
,
neither
haue
you
done
any
thing
for
them
:
&
againe
,
I
haue
not
séene
one
knight
sturring
in
all
this
Castel
,
neither
the
knight
that
you
did
ouerthrow
at
the
gate
of
the
Bridge
in
the
iust
,
at
which
I
greatly
meruaile
,
and
I
doo
suspect
some
treason
,
for
that
I
haue
found
a

So

and
being

hee
laide

VEry
much
ought
they
to
haue
in
estimation
and
prise
,
the
good
and
faythfull
seruants
,
when
that
ioyntly
therewith
they
bée
of
a
●…harp
vnderstanding
,
wise
,
and
of
a
prompt
wit
:
for
besides
the
seruing
of
their
Lords
with
reuerence
,
dutie
,
and
discreation
,
they
doe
supplie
many
ouer-sightes
which
often
times
men
do●…
fall
into
,
and
the
wise
aduise
of
a
good
seruant
doth
come
to
more
effect
,
then
of
a
perfect
friend
.
And
heere
I
doo
digresse
from
the
iudgement
of
some
wise
men
,
that
say
a
man
ought
to
haue
but
few
seruants
,
and
those
to
be
the
most
vilest
,
fo●…
that
with
them
a
man
shall
liue
with
more
care
.
But
my
iudgement
is
,
that
rather
with
them
they
should
liue
more
viciouslie
,
for
that
the
vilenesse
and
simplicitie
of
the
seruant
,
is
vnto
the
master
a
peaceable
meanes
to
live
beastly
,
but
vnto
him
that
wil
liue
vertuously
&
wel
,
the
shame
&
discretion
of
a
wise
seruant
is
a
great
warning
,
not
to
ouershoot
himselfe
.
And
many
times
hée
doth
determine
with
himselfe
that
,
which
reason
nor
the
knowledge
of
God
cannot
withdrew
him
from
his
disordinate
desie●…s
,
yet
the
sham●…fastnesse
of
a
wise
and
discréeta
serua●…nt
doth
somwhat
disturbe
him
.
Well
,
seeing
that
this
doth
bring
profit
for
the
soule
,
and
for
the
honour
of
man
,
wherfore
should
we
not
rather
entertaine
them
that
be
wise
&
able
to
giue
good
counsaile
,
th●…n
those
which
can
neither
profit
their
master
nor
them selues
.
Besides
all
this
,
there
is
to
be
reapt
of
a
discreet
seruant
many
other
good
things
as
to
be
politike
,
touching
the
estate
&
liuing
of
his
Lord
&
master
,
as
looking
to
his
lands
&
goods
,
&
respecting
his
honour
,
&
by
his
fidelitie
great
rest
&
quietnes
,
and
many
times
a
conuersation
of
life
,
as
it
happened
vnto
this
mightie
&
valiant
Knight
of
whom
we
haue
spoken
that
all
his
extreame
&
singuler
bountie
had
not
ben
sufficient
to
haue
deliuered
him
from
the
death
if
it
had
not
ben
by
the
discreation
of
the
wise
&
prompt
vnderstanding
of
Bynnano
.
And
now
to
returne
vnto
the
matter
.
The
Historie
sayth
,
that
Florinaldus
with
his
twenty
knights
all
armed
were
in
a
redinesse
,
so
at
midnight
when
they
thought
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
had
béene
in
his
soundest
sléepe
,
in
as
secret
manner
as
might
be
they
went
vnto
the
false
dore
which
was
béehinde
the
Tapistrie
,
in
the
chamber
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
when
they
thought
to
haue
entered
in
therat
all
together
,
with
a
great
number
of
Torches
light
before
them
,
the
two
Pages
heard
the
rushing
of
their
armor
,
&
before
that
halfe
of
them
could
enter
in
,
they
had
called
their
Lord
,
who
with
a
trice
was
on
his
féete
,
&
when
he
saw
these
armed
knightes
enter
in
at
the
dore
,
some
with
ha●…chets
of
armes
,
and
other
some
with
their
swoord
drawen
in
their
handes
,
with
great
anger
and
furious
wrath
he
receiued
them
,
and
drawing
out
his
fine
cutting
sword
,
he
stroke
the
formost
of
them
vppon
the
healme
,
that
hée
cloue
him
downe
to
the
breast
,
wherewith
hée
●…ell
downe
dead
to
the
ground
,
and
hée
was
scarce
fallen
when
that
hee
stroke
another
with
a
bie
blow
vppon
his
necke
,
that
he
made
his
head
flie
from
his
body
,
and
fell
against
the
wall
on
the
other
side
.
Then
all
the
rest
when
they
saw
so
sodaine
a
mischiefe
following
them
by
him
,
whom
they
thought
to
haue
found
in
his
bedde
and
a
sleepe
,
theyr
●…loud
waxed
cold
in
their
bodyes
,
and
would
not
haue
willingly
haue
bene
there
for
all
the
goods
in
the
world
,
&
would
faine
haue
fled
back
againe
the
way
they
came
,
bu●…
Florinaldus
who
was
the
hindermost
of
all
,
&
kept
the
doore
,
would
not
let
them
goe
forth
,
but
that
they
should
doe
their
best
against
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
.
And
so
they
returned
a●…
vpon
him
,
and
by
reason
they
were
many
,
they
laide
vpo●…
him
like
a
company
of
smiths
,
when
they
doe
beat
their
yro●…
on
the
anfield
.
And
if
his
armour
had
not
ben
very
good
,
〈◊〉
could
not
be
but
that
he
had
ben
in
great
danger
,
yet
by
〈◊〉
mighty
courage
he
was
without
all
feare
,
&
put
himselfe
amongst
them
,
in
such
sort
,
that
in
a
short
space
he
sle●…
&
●…
uerthrew
very
sore
wounded
to
the
ground
the
most
par
of
them
,
&
the
rest
which
remained
,
returned
&
went
forth
●…
the
same
dore
whereby
they
entred
,
in
spite
of
Florinald●…
that
did
kéepe
it
,
&
among
them
that
went
forth
,
the
Knigh●…
of
the
Sunne
did
likewise
goe
forth
,
&
the
first
that
●…e
m●…
withall
was
Florinaldus
,
which
séemed
vnto
him
to
be
●…o
▪
of
all
the
rest
,
as
well
by
the
rich
armour
that
he
wore
,
●…
by
keeping
the
rest
that
they
should
not
flye
,
&
he
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
such
a
blow
vpon
his
healme
,
that
he
made
him
s●…oup
&
bo●…
his
knée
to
the
ground
,
&
as
the
History
hath
told
you
,
〈◊〉
naldus
was
very
proud
of
hart
,
&
of
great
strength
,
&
neu●…
lacked
courage
to
attempt
any
thing
against
the
〈◊〉
the
Sunne
,
&
seeing
himselfe
at
that
time
in
so
great
extremitie
,
he
would
proue
his
fortune
against
him
〈◊〉
,
stroke
him
so
strong
and
mightie
a
blow
vppon
his
〈◊〉
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
did
féele
the
paine
〈◊〉
of

grieuous
,
and
ther
with
he
stroke
Florinaldus
another
in
〈◊〉
compence
of

,
with

nothing
dismaying
thereat

hée
pressed
vnto
him
,
and
〈◊〉
tempted
a

&
furious
battaile
,
for
that
his
〈◊〉
was
very
good
and
made
by
art
magicke
,
which
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
occasion
at
the
first
,
although
the
〈◊〉
of
the
Kn●…ght
the
Sunne
were
very
strong
and
terrible
,
they
〈◊〉
him
〈◊〉
much
harme
,
but
as
this
valiant
and
s●…out
gréekes
anger
&
fury
increased
more
&
more
,
you
might
haue
seene
how
that
the
proud
knight
,
sometimes
he
stouped
with
his
knées
to
the
greund
,
and
sometimes
with
his
hands
,
that
he
hadde
inough
to
defend
himselfe
,
and
to
arise
vp
,
so
that
he
had
no
time
to
strike
at
his
aduersary
,
but
was
almost
out
of
his
wittes
with
anger
,
and
thought
vnto
himselfe
that
hée
had
all
the
force
of
the
world
against
him
,
and
when
he
saw
that
his
life
could
not
long
endure
,
but
néedes
he
must
haue
patience
vnto
fortune
,
&
that
his
power
and
strength
was
not
sufficient
to
goe
through
with
his
intention
,
he
determined
to
yeeld
himselfe
vnto
the
mercy
of
him
whom
God
&
good
fortune
was
fauourable
vnto
,
and
to
root
out
from
his
hart
that
euill
intent
which
he
alwaie●…
pretended
against
him
,
&
therwith
he
pulled
off
his
Healme
&
put
himself
before
him
,
saying
.
Oh
worthie
and
valiaunt
Knight
,
the
best
that
euer
was
girt
with
sword
,
héere
I
doe
acknowledge
and
conf●…sse
my
great
offence
,
and
that
I
doe
deserue
a
worser
punishment
then
death
,
for
that
which
I
haue
conspired
against
thee
,
and
my
euill
determination
hath
increased
euery
day
more
and
more
since
the
time
that
I
was
ouerthrowen
by
thée
at
the
pass●…ge
of
a
bridge
which
I
kept
.
Now
heere
I
doe
pray
and
desire
thée
,
that
thou
wouldest
pardon
and
forgiue
mée
all
that
is
past
,
and
receiue
mée
into
thy
friendship
,
which
I
shall
more
esteeme
of
,
then
any
thing
in
all
the
world
.
When
Florinaldus
hadde
sayde
these
wordes
,
and
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
didde
know
him
,
all
the
blowes
that
he
receiued
that
night
did
not
trouble
him
,
as
that
did
penitrate
into
his
hart
,
and
abate
his
great
courage
and
ire
,
for
that
hée
did
not
onely
pardon
him
,
with
a
very
good
will
,
but
did
also
forgiue
all
the
harme
that
euer
he
had
done
vnto
him
or
vnto
any
other
of
his
parents
or
friendes
,
for
that
hée
didde
acknowledge
the
same
,
and
was
very
sorry
and
repented
himselfe
,
not
withstanding
for
to
proue
whether
that
which
he
had
said
were
but
dissembled
because
he
saw
himselfe
in
that
great
extremitie
,
he
said
.
Of
a
truth
Florinaldus
I
doe
not
pretend
by
any
meanes
to
receue
thee
into
my
company
&
friendship
,
&
lesse
will
I
put
any
confidence
or
trust
in
thee
,
till
such
time
as
thou
dost
accom
plish
one
thing
which
I
will
tell
thee
In
this
I
shall
thinke
my selfe
most
happie
,
said
Florinaldus
,
that
you
would
commaund
me
to
doe
the
thing
,
wherein
I
may
shew
the
great
desire
that
I
haue
of
your
friendship
&
conuersation
.
That
which
I
will
you
shall
do
said
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
is
,
that
out
of
hand
you
doe
depart
hence
,
and
take
your
iourney
throughout
as
many
Countries
as
you
can
,
but
especiallye
through
the
countrie
of
Fraunce
,
in
the
demaund
of
a
Knight
which
hath
a
Flower
de
luce
for
his
deuise
,
whose
name
is
Clauerindo
,
&
when
you
haue
found
him
do
my
commendations
vnto
him
,
&
tell
him
that
I
doe
goe
straight
vnto
Constantinople
,
&
how
I
doe
meane
to
tarry
ther
till
such
time
as
I
doe
heare
some
newes
from
him
.
With
all
this
I
am
very
well
contented
said
Florinaldus
,
&
then
these
two
dyd
embrace
one
another
,
&
from
that
day
forwards
,
they
were
perfect
friendes
,
as
more
at
large
shall
bée
told
you
in
this
Historie
.
So
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
with
his
Pages
departed
from
this
Castle
towards
the
Empire
of
Grecia
,
and
Florinaldus
in
the
demaund
of
the
Knight
with
the
Flower
de
Luce.
And
héere
this
Historie
doeth
leaue
them
till
time
doth
serue
,
●…
returneth
to
tell
you
of
the
noble
knight
of
Cupid
,
wheras
we
left
him
in
the
Kingdome
of
Russia
.
How
the
Knight
of
Cupid
departed
from
the
Kingdome
of
Russia
,
and
of
all
that
happened
vnto
him
in
his
iourney
.
Chap.
17.
CErtaine
dayes
the
Knight
of
Cupid
remayned
in
the
court
of
King
Luziro
,
by
the
earnest
request
of
him
and
the
Quéene
,
who
did
honour
and
loue
him
,
and
had
him
in
prise
aboue
all
the
Knights
of
the
world
,
in
such
sort
that
they
would
he
should
haue
remayned
with
them
in
their
company
alwaies
,
&
neuer
depart
from
thence
,
but
for
that
he
could
neuer
be
in
quiet
,
neither
take
pleasure
or
comfort
in
the
honour
,
which
they
did
vnto
him
,
after
that
he
had
heard
the
newes
of
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
certaine
daies
passed
he
tooke
his
leaue
of
the
king
&
Queene
,
who
did
offer
vnto
him
very
largely
at
all
times
whensoeuer
he
should
haue
any
neede
of
them
or
of
their
estate
.
And
being
departed
from
the
Court
,
hée
determined
with
himselfe
what
was
best
he
should
doe
,
&
thought
that
it
should
be
good
to
passe
into
Grecia
,
&
there
to
know
his
father
the
mighty
Emperour
Trebatio
,
&
to
giue
him
to
vnderstand
that
the
mightie
&
valiant
Knight
of
the
Sun
was
his
sonne
,
&
likewise
his
brother
,
whom
he
had
a
very
great
desire
to
sée
,
calling
to
remembrance
that
which
he
did
for
him
in
the
Iland
of
Candramarte
,
&
receiued
great
ioy
&
contentment
in
himself
to
haue
such
a
valiant
&
worthy
knight
vnto
his
brother
,
&
to
be
sonnes
vnto
so
noble
a
father
,
&
also
the
great
remedye
that
was
had
for
the
sorrowfull
losse
of
the
Princesse
Briana
his
mother
.
But
as
he
did
delight
himselfe
in
these
thoughts
,
straight
way
there
came
vnto
his
remembrance
,
that
which
the
wise
Artidon
had
told
him
of
the
Princesse
Oliuia
which
caused
vnto
him
so
great
a
sorrow
&
griefe
that
all
his
pleasure
and
great
contentment
was
forgotten
,
&
it
made
him
to
abhorre
his
owne
lif●…
&
all
the
world
,
&
thought
within
himselfe
to
goe
wher
all
they
should
neuer
after
heare
newes
of
him
.
For
that
hee
could
not
perswade
with
himselfe
,
thinking
it
a
thing
impossible
for
him
to
liue
in
the
world
,
neither
to
receiue
any
comfort
amongest
his
parents
and
friends
.
When
that
he
should
vnderstand
how
that
the
Princesse
Oliuia
was
in
the
power
of
any
other
Knight
,
thus
he
trauailed
in
a
great
confusion
,
&
could
not
determine
with
himselfe
what
was
best
for
him
to
doe
,
and
being
troubled
in
his
mind
he
passed
the
Kingdome
of
Russia
,
&
trauailed
other
thrée
daies
in
another
kingdome
adioyning
thervnto
,
&
by
reason
that
his
minde
was
alwaies
occupied
with
these
profound
&
contrary
thoughts
,
all
his
trauaile
for
the
most
part
was
out
of
the
high
wayes
,
&
many
times
he
was
benighted
in
the
fields
,
&
would
passe
a
whole
day
without
eating
any
thing
.
So
it
happened
one
day
very
early
in
the
morning
,
hauing
lost
his
way
,
he
found
himselfe
amongst
a
great
number
of
mountaines
,
&
was
so
far
ingulfed
amongest
them
that
he
could
not
finde
the
way
to
come
out
,
neither
did
he
know
where
he
was
,
till
the
most
part
of
the
day
was
past
,
&
then
he
discouered
a
mountaine
which
was
higher
then
all
the
rest
,
&
determined
to
goe
vp
to
the
top
of
the
same
,
to
see
if
hée
could
from
thence
discouer
any
way
or
towne
whether
he
might
resort
.
Then
hée
went
vp
vnto
the
top
of
that
mountaine
although
it
was
with
great
trauaile
,
&
being
at
the
top
hee
was
there
a
good
while
,
&
looked
round
about
him
towards
all
parts
,
&
did
discouer
a
mightie
Country
,
&
very
plaine
,
&
that
place
wheras
he
was
,
was
the
craggedst
part
of
all
that
country
.
Also
he
discouered
a
narow
way
,
for
to
descend
from
those
mountaines
into
the
plaine
,
wher
he
saw
a
mighty
broad
&
vsed
way
which
passed
alongst
by
the
foote
of
that
mountaine
,
&
as
he
would
haue
descended
towards
that
place
,
he
saw
som●…
what
a
far
of
comming
towards
him
a
company
of
knights
,
whose
armour
glistered
very
much
,
&
among
them
he
saw
one
that
was
more
higher
then
all
the
rest
from
the
breast
vpwards
,
&
he
seemed
vnto
him
,
although
it
was
a
far
off
to
be
a
Giant
,
&
being
very
desirous
to
know
who
they
should
be
,
he
stoode
still
,
till
such
time
as
they
drew
nigher
,
&
then
he
saw
that
in
the
middest
of
that
ambush
of
knights
ther
came
other
thrée
Knights
on
horseback
with
their
helmes
off
,
&
their
hands
bound
behind
them
,
whom
he
did
well
perceiue
to
bée
carried
prisoners
against
their
willes
.
These
were
the
thrée
Princes
Bargandel
,
Lyriamandro
,
&
the
Tartarian
Zoylo
,
which
were
carried
prisoners
in
the
power
of
the
giant
,
at
the
commaundement
of
the
King
Balachia
,
and
the
Knight
which
they
saw
come
downe
from
the
mountaine
towards
them
,
as
the
History
hath
told
you
before
,
was
the
knight
of
Cupid
,
who
seeing
them
to
bring
those
knights
prisoners
,
&
very
desirous
to
know
who
&
what
it
should
be
,
did
descend
downe
the
mountaine
towardes
the
high
way
whereas
they
should
passe
,
&
when
he
drew
nigh
vnto
them
,
hee
straight
waies
knew
them
to
be
the
thrée
Princes
his
very
great
friendes
,
&
very
much
meruailed
to
see
them
in
that
case
,
&
vpon
a
sodaine
the
water
ran
downe
his
cheekes
,
&
his
hart
was
ready
to
burst
with
great
sorrow
&
griefe
,
to
sée
such
péerelesse
princes
caried
in
that
sort
,
and
being
straight
waies
desirous
to
venture
his
life
in
that
present
daunger
for
to
performe
that
wherin
he
was
greatly
bound
,
for
the
defence
of
his
friends
,
he
put
himselfe
into
the
middest
of
the
high
way
with
his
speare
in
his
hand
,
&
the
great
giant
Fulgoso
came
formost
of
all
the
rest
,
mounted
vpon
a
mightie
horse
,
&
armed
with
very
thick
&
strong
armour
of
fréele
,
&
with
a
speare
in
his
hand
so
bigge
,
that
it
séemed
to
be
a
Pine
tree
,
&
the
beauer
of
his
healme
vp
,
that
a
far
off
one
might
discerne
his
monstrous
&
euill
fauoured
countenance
,
and
when
the
Knight
of
Cupid
saw
that
it
was
but
labour
lost
to
talke
with
that
sort
people
,
&
words
spent
in
vaine
,
he
broched
his
Horse
with
the
spurres
,
and
with
so
great
fury
that
it
séemed
to
be
a
Thunder
bolt
,
he
made
his
course
against
the
giant
,
who
when
hée
saw
him
come
running
against
him
,
with
so
great
a
noise
&
furious
a
violence
,
one
way
he
thought
he
had
bene
some
foolish
Knight
,
&
beside
himselfe
,
&
to
the
contrary
he
very
much
meruailed
to
see
him
comming
with
so
galiant
a
grace
&
furious
courage
,
&
without
any
more
tarrying
●…e
set
spurs
vnto
his
mightie
Horse
and
went
forth
to
méet
him
so
fast
as
his
Horse
could
run
,
and
in
the
middest
of
their
course
they
mette
both
together
,
and
this
worthy
and
valiant
knight
of
Cupid
stroke
the
p●…ant
in
the
middest
of
his
body
,
his
speare
being
made
of
the
hart
of
a
C●…pres
tree
.
&
the
head
of
very
fine
tempered
stéele
,
which
was
giuen
him
by
the
king
Luziro
for
a
very
precious
and
excellent
good
one
▪
at
his
departure
from
him
,
&
his
encounter
was
so
strong
,
that
before
his
spere
did
breake
,
the
sharp
&
well
hardned
head
did
pearce
through
the
ill
tempered
harneis
of
that
great
giant
,
&
ran
through
his
body
,
appearing
at
his
backe
,
&
therwith
he
fell
downe
dead
to
the
ground
,
&
with
the
mightie
fall
he
brake
the
strong
staffe
of
the
speare
,
&
the
Knight
of
Cupid
receiued
so
great
encounter
of
the
Giant
that
it
made
him
loose
his
stirops
,
&
to
let
loose
the
raines
of
his
horse
bridle
,
&
passed
forwards
without
receiuing
any
more
harme
,
&
before
that
he
came
wheras
the
other
Knights
were
,
he
had
recouered
both
his
stirops
and
the
rames
of
his
Horse
againe
.
When
the
three
Princes
and
the
Knights
of
the
Giant
saw
that
great
&
terrible
encounter
,
they
very
much
meruailed
thereat
,
&
remayned
astonied
and
amazed
,
and
thought
it
so
wonderfull
that
they
could
not
tell
what
to
say
vnto
it
,
and
with
great
sorrow
and
griefe
for
the
death
of
their
Lord
,
all
the
knights
together
assaulted
the
knight
of
Cupld
,
and
with
great
shrikes
and
shoutes
they
compassed
him
round
about
,
and
laid
vppon
him
with
all
the
power
and
strength
they
could
,
and
although
they
were
many
,
yet
this
stout
&
valiaunt
knight
did
quickly
abate
their
courage
,
for
that
at
the
first
three
blowes
which
hée
stroke
at
them
which
came
formost
,
hée
ouerthrew
thrée
of
them
to
the
ground
very
sore
wounded
and
almost
dead
,
and
after
besturred
himselfe
amongst
the
rest
with
so
great
fury
that
it
was
a
wonder
to
sée
.
The
thrée
Princes
who
did
béeholde
all
that
passed
,
knew
not
what
to
say
,
to
see
one
knight
of
so
great
bountie
and
force
,
to
attempt
the
battaile
against
a
Gyaunt
and
so
manye
Knights
,
and
with
a
good
will
they
would
haue
giuen
all
that
euer
they
were
worth
to
haue
bene
loose
and
at
libertie
for
to
haue
holpen
that
Knight●…
.
But
at
that
time
there
was
no
néede
of
their
succour
,
for
that
in
lesse
then
halfe
an
houre
the
sonne
of
Trebatio
had
ouerthrowen
to
the
ground
dead
and
●…erie
sore
wounded
the
most
part
of
all
his
enimies
,
and
the
rest
that
remained
seeing
so
great
slaughter
,
thought
themselues
in
no
securitie
,
but
tourned
their
Horse
bridi●…s
&
fled
that
way
which
they
came
as
fast
as
their
Horses
could
run
,
and
neuer
forgot
the
●…eare
which
they
receiued
neither
did
they
looke
backe
till
such
time
as
they
came
into
the
camp
afore
the
king
,
some
with
their
faces
cut
,
and
some
their
armes
,
they
told
him
that
one
alone
knight
came
against
them
in
the
high
way
and
slew
the
giant
and
all
the
rest
,
sauing
they
which
saued
themselues
by
flight
.
The
King
and
all
those
that
were
with
them
verie
much
meruailed
at
that
sodaine
misfortune
,
and
thought
it
a
thing
impossible
that
any
humane
creature
should
giue
such
an
enterprise
&
goe
through
therewith
,
neyther
to
haue
so
much
hardynesse
and
courage
of
heart
.
The
King
receiuing
great
sorrow
and
griefe
for
the
death
of
the
giant
,
did
out
of
hand
commaund
a
companie
of
knights
to
be
armed
in
a
readinesse
,
&
returne
vnto
the
knight
of
Cupide
.
When
hée
saw
himselfe
cléere
and
at
libertie
from
his
enimies
,
determined
to
set
the
thrée
Princes
at
libertie
,
and
not
to
make
himselfe
to
bée
knowen
vnto
them
▪
for
two
causes
,
the
one
for
that
hée
departed
from
them
out
of
England
,
without
giuing
them
to
vnderstand
thereof
,
and
the
other
,
for
that
they
should
not
carrie
anie
newes
of
him
to
the
Court
of
King
Oliuerio
,
for
that
the
Princesse
Oliuia
commaunded
him
in
hir
Letter
to
depart
thether
,
whereas
she
might
neuer
heere
any
newes
of
him
,
and
for
these
causes
hée
would
not
make
himselfe
knowen
onto
the
three
Princes
,
but
came
onto
them
and
did
vnbince
them
,
and
c●…t
a
sunder
the
cords
wherewith
they
were
bound
,
and
counterfaiting
his
speach
●…nd
voyce
in
the
best
wise
hée
could
,
hee
asked
of
them
who
●…hey
were
,
and
what
was
the
occasion
that
they
were
carri●…d
away
in
that
sort
.
Then
they
who
were
no
l●…sse
amazed
〈◊〉
his
great
bountie
,
then
glad
to
see
themselues
at
libertie
,
●…aue
hartie
thanckes
for
that
which
hee
had
done
for
them
,
and
the
Tartarian
Zoylo
declared
vnto
him
of
whence
they
were
,
and
likewise
tolde
him
of
all
that
happened
vnto
him
and
his
companions
since
the
time
that
they
first
entered
into
the
kingdome
of
Lusitania
vntill
that
houre
that
they
delyuered
them
.
When
the
knight
of
Cupide
vnderstood
all
the
whole
effect
,
he
receiued
great
ioye
within
himself
,
for
that
he
had
succoured
his
friends
in
so
great
a
necessitie
.
And
beeing
demaunded
of
them
who
hée
was
,
for
that
they
might
know
him
of
whom
they
had
receiued
so
great
a
benefit
hée
answered
them
that
hée
was
a
strange
knight
of
that
Country
,
and
that
he
could
not
discouer
nor
tel
vnto
them
his
name
,
till
such
time
as
hée
had
finished
a
iourney
which
he
had
taken
in
hand
,
but
if
they
were
desirous
to
returne
and
aide
the
quéene
Lauinia
,
hée
would
goe
with
them
and
beare
them
company
,
and
doe
for
hir
all
that
lay
in
his
power
.
When
the
thrée
Princes
heard
him
say
those
words
they
were
very
glad
and
ioyfull
,
for
that
theyr
whole
desire
was
to
returne
vnto
the
Cittie
,
as
well
for
the
succour
of
the
Quéene
Lauinia
and
hir
daughter
,
as
to
bee
reuenged
on
their
aduersaries
,
as
of
the
king
of
Balachia
,
for
that
they
were
verie
angrie
and
wrathfull
against
him
,
and
béeholding
often
and
verie
much
that
knight
,
how
hee
was
adorned
with
all
bountie
,
they
said
one
vnto
another
,
that
in
all
things
hée
resembled
Rosicleer
,
as
well
in
his
great
valour
as
in
the
gentle
disposition
of
his
body
,
and
in
all
the
rest
of
his
behauiour
,
and
calling
him
to
remembraunce
,
and
how
that
they
could
not
heare
any
newes
of
him
,
the
teares
ran
from
the
eyes
of
either
of
them
for
the
loue
they
bare
vnto
him
.
And
beeing
asked
by
the
knight
of
Cupide
the
occasion
wherefore
they
should
shed
those
teares
,
they
tould
him
that
they
all
thrée
went
in
the
demaund
of
a
Knight
that
in
all
thinges
,
as
well
in
béehauiour
as
in
proporcyon
of
body
was
lyke
vnto
him
,
and
how
that
the
remembraunce
of
him
was
the
occasion
of
those
teares
,
for
that
many
dayes
a
gone
hée
departed
from
them
,
and
since
that
time
they
could
neuer
heare
any
newes
of
him
.
At
this
present
the
Knight
of
Cupide
receiued
great
sorrow
and
griefe
,
in
séeing
that
those
thrée
Princes
béeing
of
so
great
valour
went
in
his
demaund
,
and
that
occasion
did
so
serue
,
that
hée
could
not
discouer
himselfe
vnto
them
.
Héere
may
you
plainely
perceiue
what
the
discurtesie
of
the
Princesse
Oliuia
did
cause
,
for
that
it
caused
him
to
withdraw
from
him
the
▪
great
pleasure
and
contentment
that
hée
should
receiue
in
discouering
himselfe
vnto
his
friends
.
So
after
that
they
had
talked
of
these
and
other
like
things
,
the
thrée
Princes
tooke
each
of
them
a
horse
o
?
those
knights
that
were
slaine
,
and
they
foure
together
tooke
their
way
towards
the
Citie
,
although
by
the
counsaile
of
the
tartarian
Zoylo
they
went
not
the
right
way
,
suspecting
that
when
the
king
of
Balachia
should
vnderstand
of
the
death
of
the
Gyant
,
hee
would
send
some
people
against
them
,
but
their
determination
was
not
to
be
séene
til
such
time
as
they
were
come
nigh
vnto
the
camp
,
and
then
put
themselues
into
the
Citie
if
neede
so
required
,
and
in
this
sort
although
the
King
did
send
his
power
they
should
not
meete
with
them
,
but
that
they
might
much
more
at
their
plesure
come
nigh
the
camp
of
their
contraries
,
and
consulting
amongst
themselues
what
was
best
for
them
to
doo
,
they
determined
to
giue
the
assault
vpon
their
enimies
sodainely
,
and
to
prease
through
them
till
such
time
as
they
might
get
the
Bridge
,
and
béeing
there
they
were
very
certaine
that
when
those
of
the
Cittie
should
sée
them
,
they
would
issue
foorth
and
succour
them
,
or
at
the
least
waies
they
would
open
the
gates
that
they
might
enter
in
,
and
looke
as
they
had
determined
they
did
put
in
practise
,
and
all
these
foure
together
dyd
enter
into
the
Camp
of
theyr
enimies
,
cutting
,
wounding
,
and
killing
,
that
it
was
a
wonder
to
see
the
great
effusion
which
they
made
amongest
them
,
and
neuer
rested
til
such
time
as
they
came
vnto
the
bridge
,
whereas
they
dyd
defend
themselues
very
,
valia●…ntly
,
from
them
that
followed
them
,
where
those
of
the
Cittie
did
sée
all
that
passed
.
And
when
they
knew
that
those
worthy
Knights
were
their
friends
,
they
were
very
glad
and
reioyced
to
sée
them
,
and
did
open
vnto
them
the
gates
of
the
Citie
,
&
very
much
meruailed
at
the
other
knight
that
c●…me
with
the
three
princes
,
for
that
they
saw
the
great
slaughter
which
hee
made
amongst
his
enimies
with
his
sword
in
his
hand
,
and
when
these
soure
Knights
saw
the
gates
of
the
Citie
opened
,
they
did
retire
by
little
&
little
vpon
the
bridge
,
vntill
such
time
as
their
enimies
dyd
leaue
off
following
them
,
as
well
for
the
mortall
blowes
they
gaue
them
,
as
for
the
great
harme
they
receiued
by
them
which
were
vppon
the
walles
of
the
Citie
,
so
that
they
had
time
at
their
pleasure
to
enter
into
the
Cittie
,
and
when
they
were
within
they
shut
the
gates
,
and
receiued
them
with
great
ioye
,
and
carried
them
beefore
the
Queene
,
whose
ioy
was
so
great
for
the
returne
of
these
three
Princes
▪
that
I
am
not
able
to
expresse
it
,
for
that
hir
comfort
and
hope
that
shee
had
in
them
was
very
much
,
and
theyr
imprisonment
was
a
grieuous
corsie
vnto
hir
heart
.
So
there
they
did
repose
&
rest
themselues
all
that
day
,
and
all
the
next
following
,
with
a
great
deale
more
ioy
then
at
any
time
beefore
.
The
next
day
béeing
come
the
knight
of
Cupide
and
the
thrée
Princes
commaunded
that
all
such
people
as
they
thought
could
doe
any
thing
to
arme
themselues
vnto
the
battaile
,
and
so
in
very
good
order
they
went
forth
into
the
field
against
their
enimies
,
and
ouercame
and
brake
the
Campe
and
slew
the
King
,
and
the
most
part
of
those
that
were
with
him
,
and
the
rest
ranne
theyr
way
,
so
that
those
of
Lusitania
remained
with
the
victorie
,
and
pursued
theyr
enimies
till
such
time
as
the
night
dyd
withdraw
them
backe
,
and
made
them
to
retire
,
and
it
was
a
thing
to
be
wondered
at
,
to
see
the
great
feates
and
deeds
of
armes
that
the
knight
of
Cupide
did
that
day
,
for
it
may
bee
sayde
,
that
hee
alone
was
the
occasion
of
breaking
vp
of
the
Camp
of
their
enimies
,
and
the
destruction
of
all
the
whole
armie
of
the
king
of
Balachia
,
so
that
on
the
one
part
as
w●…
as
one
the
other
,
they
verie
much
meruayled
of
the
incridyble
déedes
which
they
saw
done
in
that
battaile
.
No●…
when
the
night
was
come
,
the
knight
of
Cupide
seeing
that
there
was
no
more
néede
of
his
help
,
hée
determined
to
depart
very
secretlie
,
for
that
hée
saw
by
the
determination
of
the
thrée
Princes
that
it
was
a
thing
imposible
to
kéepe
himselfe
close
long
,
but
that
hee
must
bee
knowen
by
them
.
Therefore
hee
called
a
knight
of
the
Citie
a
side
,
and
sayde
vnto
him
,
that
at
such
time
as
the
people
were
gathered
together
and
entered
into
the
Citie
,
hée
shuld
tel
the
Quéene
and
those
thrée
strange
knight●…
,
that
hee
was
departed
and
gone
about
certaine
businesse
that
dyd
importune
him
verie
much
,
and
that
they
should
not
by
any
meanes
follow
him
,
neither
hope
of
his
returne
,
for
that
hee
knew
not
whether
hee
should
euer
returne
againe
or
no
,
and
so
hée
departed
on
t
of
the
Camp
,
and
with
a
trotting
pace
trauayled
all
that
euer
he
could
that
night
,
very
sorrowfull
in
his
hart
for
that
hée
could
not
reioyce
himselfe
in
the
company
of
his
verie
friends
,
who
with
so
louing
and
perfect
friendship
went
to
seeke
him
.
With
these
sorrowfull
thoughts
that
night
hée
trauailed
so
long
that
hée
came
vnto
the
sea
,
&
the
next
day
in
the
morning
,
hée
entered
into
a
Ship
of
merchandise
,
which
ariued
at
that
place
to
refresh
themselues
with
fresh
water
,
and
were
bound
vnto
Alexandria
.
Now
to
returne
vnto
the
thrée
Princes
,
the
Historie
saith
that
at
such
time
as
they
had
gathered
theyr
people
together
,
and
would
haue
entered
into
the
Citie
,
they
found
wanting
the
knight
of
Cupide
,
and
béeing
very
sorrowfull
for
his
absence
they
went
séeking
him
,
and
asking
for
him
of
all
that
they
met
,
till
such
time
as
they
came
to
the
knight
,
with
whom
the
knight
of
Cupide
had
talked
,
and
he
tolde
vnto
them
his
●…mbassage
and
all
that
hee
had
sayd
vnto
him
.
And
when
the
●…hree
Princes
vnderstoode
of
his
departure
,
they
were
verie
●…orrowfull
for
the
same
,
and
remembring
the
valiant
déedes
●…at
they
saw
him
doo
,
and
the
great
boud
in
the
which
they
●…ere
bound
vnto
him
,
they
were
verie
desirous
to
haue
●…owen
him
,
and
to
haue
had
him
in
their
companie
,
and
●…ery
one
of
them
thought
in
his
minde
that
hée
should
bée
●…osicleer
,
for
that
they
were
fully
resolued
amongest
them●…ues
that
there
was
not
a
knight
in
all
the
world
that
was
●…le
to
doo
for
them
that
which
hee
did
,
but
onely
Rosicleer
,
but
straight
way
they
put
this
thought
from
them
,
in
saying
that
if
it
were
Rosicleer
,
there
was
no
occasion
wherfore
he
should
keepe
himself
from
them
&
not
be
knowen
,
seeing
that
hée
vnderstood
that
they
went
in
his
demaund
.
Thus
with
a
great
desire
which
they
had
to
know
who
this
knight
shuld
bee
,
all
that
night
they
would
not
enter
into
the
citie
,
but
sent
vnto
the
quéene
requesting
hir
to
pardon
them
,
they
straight
way
departed
to
go
seeke
out
the
knight
of
Cupid
,
&
the
next
day
in
the
morning
they
came
vnto
the
sea
side
,
&
vnto
the
Port
whereas
hée
did
ship
himselfe
,
&
there
they
had
newes
of
him
,
by
the
tokens
that
they
gaue
.
So
from
thence
they
departed
in
his
demaund
in
an
other
ship
,
that
the
Quéens
Lauinia
commanded
to
bée
giuen
them
,
and
héere
the
history
doth
leaue
them
trauailing
by
sea
,
and
returneth
vnto
the
knight
of
Cupide
who
departed
and
went
beefore
them
.
How
the
knight
of
Cupid
ariued
in
the
kingdome
of
Phenicia
,
whereas
hee
deliuered
from
the
death
a
knight
,
who
afterward
was
a
very
great
friend
of
his
.
Chap.

THE
great
sorrow
and
griefe
which
the
worthie
knight
of
Cupide
sustained
in
his
hart
cannot
bée
héere
expressed
,
as
well
for
the
louing
of
his
déere
friends
in
those
countries
,
&
not
making
himselfe
knowen
vnto
them
,
as
for
the
newes
which
was
giuen
him
to
vnderstand
in
the
caue
of
the
wise
Artydon
,
concerning
the
princesse
Oliuia
,
and
béeing
sore
afflicted
with
th●…
thoughts
they
sailed
sixe
daies
with
a
prosperous
winde
,
but
the
seuenth
day
they
were
taken
with
a
mightie
great
an●…
perillous
torment
,
which
made
them
loose
their
way
,
&
wer●…
constrained
by
the
furious
force
thereof
to
take
port
in
th●…
kingdome
of
Phenicia
,
whereas
the
merchants
determin●…
to
goe
a
land
,
and
there
to
rest
themselues
certaine
daye●…
for
that
they
were
verie
wearie
and
Sea
sick
,
by
reason
●…
the
great
storme
the
which
they
had
past
.
When
the
knigh●…
of
Cupid
was
a
land
,
and
saw
that
the
countrie
séemed
but
him
to
bée
very
fruitfull
,
fresh
,
and
pleasant
,
hée
determined
with
himself
to
see
the
countrie
in
the
meane
time
that
the
marriners
did
trim
their
ship
,
&
make
prouision
of
all
that
was
necessarie
,
and
so
hée
tooke
his
horse
&
went
alone
from
the
port
,
taking
the
way
which
led
him
vnto
a
mighty
great
Citie
that
was
but
sixe
miles
from
that
port
.
And
when
he
had
trauailed
two
miles
from
the
port
,
hee
saw
a
far
of
from
him
in
the
same
high
way
where
hée
went
,
a
great
number
of
Knights
,
which
seemed
vnto
him
that
they
were
in
battaile
they
so
beesturred
themselues
,
and
therewith
hée
did
amend
his
pace
to
know
what
it
should
meane
,
and
when
he
came
nigh
vnto
them
,
hée
saw
that
it
was
more
them
twentie
knights
who
had
compassed
about
one
alone
Knight
,
who
was
a
of
a
very
big
stature
,
and
armed
with
blackarmour
,
who
made
battaile
with
them
all
,
and
did
defend
himself
verie
stoutly
and
strongly
,
and
had
ouerthrowen
wounded
to
the
ground
sixe
of
them
,
so
that
hée
séemed
to
bée
a
valyant
Knight
and
of
good
estimation
.
When
the
Knight
of
Cupide
had
well
marked
him
,
and
saw
him
so
valiantly
defend
himselfe
,
he
receiued
great
contentment
,
and
determined
to
succor
him
in
that
conflict
,
perswading
him
that
the
truth
and
right
was
on
his
part
,
for
that
there
was
so
manie
against
one
,
and
without
any
more
tarrying
hée
set
spurres
to
his
Horse
sides
,
and
with
his
Sword
in
his
hand
hée
put
himselfe
in
the
middest
of
them
that
had
compassed
him
about
,
and
before
that
hee
stroke
any
blow
hée
sayd
.
Knights
holde
your
handes
and
bee
in
quyet
a
while
,
and
let
mée
vnderstand
what
is
the
occasion
of
this
battaile
,
that
so
manie
Knights
are
against
one
?
All
of
them
did
well
heare
and
vnderstand
what
he
sayd
,
but
the
answere
which
they
made
vnto
him
,
was
,
that
they
all
stroke
at
him
,
as
they
which
made
no
reckoning
of
him
,
which
was
a
sorrowfull
houre
for
some
of
them
,
for
that
when
the
knight
of
Cupid
dyd
sée
their
villanie
,
his
anger
dyd
presently
increase
,
and
he
lift
vp
his
strong
arme
and
stroke
one
of
them
vpon
the
healme
,
that
●…e
cloue
his
head
downe
to
his
shoulders
,
so
that
he
fel
from
●…is
horse
dead
to
the
earth
,
&
he
was
scarce
downe
when
the
stroke
another
vpon
the
shoulder
,
so
that
hée
cloue
him
to
the
breast
,
and
besturred
himselfe
amongst
them
with
so
great
fury
,
that
beefore
they
did
perceiue
their
losse
and
harme
hée
had
ouerthrowen
halfe
of
them
to
the
ground
.
When
this
mightie
knight
who
first
made
battaile
with
them
all
,
saw
himselfe
succoured
and
aided
in
that
time
as
hee
thought
his
life
to
bée
lost
,
hée
receiued
great
ioy
and
contentment
,
and
was
very
much
amazed
to
sée
the
straunge
curtesie
of
that
Knight
,
and
the
furious
strokes
which
hee
gaue
vnto
his
contraries
,
the
which
was
such
,
that
if
hée
had
not
seene
it
with
his
owne
eyes
hee
would
neuer
haue
beeléeued
it
,
and
with
that
new
and
vnlooked
for
aide
&
succour
,
his
strength
and
courage
did
so
increase
,
that
he
stroke
such
a
blow
vpon
the
arme
of
one
of
them
that
was
next
him
,
that
hee
cut
it
cleane
a
sunder
,
and
it
fell
to
the
ground
holding
his
shéelde
fast
and
hée
stroke
another
vpon
the
head
that
hée
cloue
it
to
the
eyes
,
and
ouerthrew
him
from
his
horse
to
the
ground
,
so
that
afterward
they
could
not
strike
any
more
blows
,
for
that
the
rest
of
the
Knights
séeing
the
great
slaughter
and
effusion
of
blood
which
those
two
Knights
made
,
thought
their
liues
in
small
securitie
,
and
fled
away
with
all
the
hast
they
could
,
béeing
to
the
number
of
sixe
or
seauen
knights
,
so
that
these
two
valiaunt
knights
were
left
alone
,
&
when
the
knight
with
the
black
armour
saw
himselfe
cléere
from
his
contraries
,
hée
lift
vp
his
beauer
and
went
vnto
the
knight
of
Cupide
,
saying
.
O
gentle
knight
&
the
best
that
euer
was
séene
,
for
I
beleeue
that
in
all
the
world
is
not
thy
like
,
wherewith
she
bée
able
to
greatifie
this
good
turne
which
you
haue
done
vnto
mée
,
I
cannot
surely
with
lesse
then
to
offer
my
life
,
so
that
next
vnto
God
by
you
I
haue
my
life
,
&
at
least
wayt
deliuered
mée
that
I
was
not
carried
away
prisoner
,
whi●…
would
haue
béene
vnto
mée
more
grieuous
then
my
dea●…
Sir
knight
,
saide
Rosicleer
,
your
great
valour
doth
deser●…
far
more
then
this
,
and
I
doo
account
my selfe
verie
w●…
satisfied
for
that
I
haue
done
,
dooing
it
for
so
worthie
knight
as
you
,
neuerthelesse
I
desire
you
to
tell
mée
if
y●…
are
of
this
Country
,
&
what
is
the
occasion
that
you
had
this
battaile
against
so
many
knights
?
To
whom
this
Knight
replied
:
This
question
which
you
doe
demannd
of
me
doth
require
long
time
to
declare
,
and
for
that
these
Knights
belongeth
vnto
the
King
of
this
Countrie
,
whom
we
haue
had
this
controuersie
with
,
&
I
doe
beleeue
that
when
these
that
be
run
away
shall
come
before
him
,
he
will
send
a
number
more
of
knights
after
vs
,
therefore
me
thinkes
it
shall
doe
well
that
we
apart
our selues
out
of
this
way
,
&
goe
vp
towards
the
mountaine
,
&
there
we
shall
be
sure
not
to
meete
with
them
,
and
riding
by
the
way
I
will
declare
vnto
you
the
whole
effect
of
this
that
you
doe
demaund
.
These
words
which
he
spake
liked
well
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
&
therewith
they
departed
from
that
place
and
went
towards
certaine
mountaines
which
were
towardes
the
right
hand
,
then
the
knight
with
the
blacke
armour
began
to
make
relation
vnto
the
knight
of
Cupid
,
and
said
.
Sir
Knight
,
you
shall
vnderstand
that
I
am
called
Sacridoro
,
&
not
long
since
was
King
of
Antiochia
,
&
as
rich
and
prosperous
as
any
other
king
could
bée
,
but
Fortune
hath
pursued
me
in
such
sort
,
&
shewed
hir selfe
so
rigorous
vnto
me
that
in
a
very
short
time
I
haue
lost
my
Kingdome
,
and
am
left
all
alone
bannished
from
a
great
number
of
very
good
knights
which
I
had
continually
with
me
,
some
of
them
●…e
dead
&
slaine
,
&
other
some
in
prison
,
&
the
occasion
of
all
this
hath
b●…n
,
that
the
king
Polidarco
,
lord
of
this
country
,
hath
a
daughter
,
whose
name
is
Oriselua
,
a
very
faire
damsell
,
endurd
with
many
good
graces
&
Princelike
conditions
,
to
whom
I
did
&
do
at
this
present
beare
great
loue
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
I
did
demaund
hir
in
mariage
of
the
king
hir
father
,
who
would
not
giue
hir
vnto
me
,
in
consideration
that
in
times
past
he
had
certaine
controuersies
with
the
king
my
Father
,
for
which
cause
I
did
moue
wars
with
him
,
thinking
by
force
to
get
that
which
by
●…he
way
of
request
I
could
not
obtaine
.
Wherevpon
either
of
vs
did
ioyne
and
gather
together
the
greatest
armie
that
possible
we
could
,
so
that
in
the
end
we
ioyned
in
battaile
,
wheras
my
cruell
fortune
&
destinie
would
,
that
all
my
campe
was
broken
&
destroyed
,
&
I
escaped
out
of
the
field
by
great
aduenture
,
&
by
reason
that
I
had
no
people
,
knights
▪
nor
souldiers
,
for
to
defend
my
kingdome
,
in
few
daies
they
made
a
conquest
of
all
,
without
leauing
me
either
towne
or
village
,
wherein
I
might
rest
my selfe
,
yea
,
&
although
I
doe
sée
my selfe
so
destroyed
&
ouerthrowen
,
yet
the
loue
is
so
great
that
I
haue
vnto
the
princesse
Oriselua
,
that
I
cannot
goe
out
of
this
country
,
for
that
I
would
euery
day
heare
some
newes
of
hir
,
&
although
I
haue
procured
to
goe
in
all
the
secret
possibie
,
yet
it
hath
ben
giuen
the
king
to
vnderstand
therof
,
who
caused
forth-with
many
knights
to
bée
put
in
diuers
places
,
either
for
to
kill
me
or
to
take
me
prisoner
,
and
these
knights
with
whom
I
made
the
battaile
were
the
kings
,
so
that
if
it
had
not
bene
for
your
good
succour
I
had
béene
slaine
,
or
els
caried
before
the
king
their
lor●…
,
who
I
doe
beléeue
would
straight
waies
haue
commaunded
to
bée
put
to
the
most
cruell
death
that
could
be
inuented
,
for
that
in
times
past
my
father
slew
his
father
in
battaile
,
since
which
time
he
had
alwaies
this
rancour
&
great
enmitie
against
me
.
This
is
sir
knight
,
y●
whole
effect
of
that
which
you
demanded
of
me
,
&
now
séeing
that
I
haue
giuen
vnto
you
the
whole
relation
of
my
life
,
I
doe
heere
very
much
desire
you
to
tell
me
your
name
,
&
of
what
Country
you
are
,
that
I
may
know
to
whom
I
haue
discouered
my selfe
,
&
to
whom
I
shall
remaine
in
dutifull
obligation
all
the
daies
of
my
life

When
the
King
Sacridoro
had
made
an
end
of
declaring
this
,
the
knight
of
Cupid
was
moued
vnto
great
compassion
,
and
iontlie
therewith
hée
had
singuler
affection
vnto
him
,
for
that
he
séemed
to
be
a
person
of
great
valour
and
of
like
desert
,
and
for
that
his
high
bounty
did
deserue
to
b●…
had
in
reputation
of
any
good
Knight
,
&
especially
for
that
the
passions
of
loue
had
ben
the
occasion
that
he
was
brought
into
that
state
,
the
which
alone
was
sufficient
to
moue
any
to
haue
compassion
on
him
,
for
that
there
is
●…o
other
griefe
,
sorrow
,
peruerse
fortune
,
nor
aduersitie
,
more
worthy
to
bée
pittied
than
that
,
he
was
a
great
while
before
he
could
make
him
any
aunswere
,
in
which
time
his
aduersitie
did
grieue
him
very
much
,
but
in
the
end
he
spake
vnto
him
&
said
.
Of
a
truth
worthy
king
,
this
discourse
which
you
haue
made
vnto
mée
of
your
estate
,
hath
béene
vnto
me
very
sorrowfull
&
grieuous
,
for
that
so
terrible
a
fall
of
fortune
is
sufficient
to
ouerthrow
any
valiant
hart
or
stout
courage
,
&
especiallie
being
wounded
with
loue
as
you
haue
told
me
,
&
that
thing
alone
is
sufficient
to
cause
me
to
haue
compassion
on
you
,
&
all
this
being
true
,
&
your
aduersity
very
great
,
yet
it
cannot
be
denied
but
that
your
hart
must
be
more
stouter
&
valiante●…
,
if
that
with
a
good
stomacke
you
doe
passe
it
ouer
,
and
not
hold
it
as
a
new
thing
happened
vnto
you
,
but
as
a
thing
which
of
long
time
past
before
it
chaunced
was
knowen
vnto
you
,
&
daylie
looked
for
,
for
that
the
valiant
courage
doth
mittigate
&
weaken
the
hardinesse
of
fortune
with
the
vertue
of
the
spirit
,
&
in
nothing
it
is
so
quickly
knowen
as
in
the
greatest
extremities
of
their
aduersities
.
Fortune
may
very
well
ouerthrow
a
strong
knight
,
but
yet
his
valiant
courage
may
be
such
,
that
the
shall
haue
no
power
to
get
the
victorie
of
him
.
Hée
is
ouerthrowen
that
doth
thinke
himselfe
vanquished
,
&
he
that
hath
all
his
hope
void
as
a
thing
dead
,
&
〈◊〉
whose
courage
is
such
,
that
all
remedies
doth
séeme
vnto
him
dissolute
.
You
haue
lost
your
kingdome
very
slightie
,
&
by
the
losse
of
one
battaile
,
so
likewise
it
may
fall
out
,
that
by
another
battaile
you
may
get
it
againe
,
for
it
is
a
common
thing
in
wars
,
to
ouercome
,
&
to
be
ouercome
,
&
many
times
we
do
sée
those
which
one
day
hath
victorie
,
when
the
day
beefore
they
lost
it
.
Possiblie
worthie
king
,
you
will
say
,
that
touching
this
which
I
haue
sayd
,
you
haue
no
prouision
,
&
are
alone
without
any
army
,
neyther
any
power
requisit
,
whereby
you
should
haue
any
hope
to
recouer
againe
your
Kingdome
.
To
this
I
auns
were
,
that
I
haue
your
aduersary
the
King
Polidarco
in
a
far
more
weaker
estate
,
and
that
it
may
so
fall
out
that
you
shall
●…ee
equall
in
the
field
,
for
that
hee
hath
your
kingdome
by
tyrannie
,
and
against
all
reason
,
all
those
whom
hée
hath
on
his
side
and
in
his
behalfe
(
or
at
least
waies
)
the
most
part
of
them
,
in
the
end
will
returne
against
him
and
be
on
your
side
&
behalfe
,
for
that
many
&
infinit
times
it
hath
beene
séene
,
a
tiranous
King
doth
finde
himselfe
alone
&
without
company
being
in
the
midst
of
all
his
subiects
,
yea
,
at
such
time
as
he
thinketh
himself
to
haue
the
most
company
,
&
to
be
in
power
the
most
strongest
.
And
it
may
bée
(
worthy
King
)
that
this
your
sodaine
fall
&
misfortune
,
is
the
punishment
of
almightie
GOD
,
giuen
vnto
you
for
some
secret
&
iust
cause
,
and
being
by
you
acknowledged
,
he
hath
giuen
you
to
vnderstand
therby
how
&
what
a
fraile
thing
all
humane
power
and
strength
is
,
at
such
time
as
we
doe
lack
his
diuine
fauour
▪
&
if
it
be
his
pleasure
he
will
returne
you
againe
vnto
your
honour
&
high
estate
.
Therfore
if
God
be
so
pleased
you
haue
no
néede
to
seeke
any
inconueniences
,
neither
to
breake
your
head
how
and
in
what
manner
it
shall
be
brought
to
passe
,
but
to
strengthen
and
comfort
your selfe
,
&
to
fortifie
your
valiaunt
courage
against
all
that
shall
happen
.
This
I
saye
,
for
that
it
séemeth
vnto
mée
that
you
shall
doe
well
to
leaue
trauailing
in
this
Countrie
,
for
so
much
as
you
doe
it
in
great
perill
and
daunger
,
and
profite
you
very
little
,
and
retourne
vnto
Antiochia
your
owne
Country
,
there
to
talke
and
conferre
one
with
an
other
,
and
procure
to
gather
together
your
friendes
and
most
principallest
s●…biectes
,
such
as
you
were
wont
to
haue
and
to
trust
.
For
that
it
cannot
be
but
there
bee
some
that
do
remain
aliue
,
who
with
feare
or
else
thinking
that
you
are
not
aliue
,
or
perhaps
lost
,
dare
not
discouer
themselues
,
and
then
when
you
haue
gathered
together
some
of
your
party
,
euery
day
you
shall
finde
your selfe
increased
,
&
then
time
will
tell
you
what
you
shall
doe
,
&
according
vnto
your
disposition
&
strength
as
y●
time
shall
serue
.
I
for
my
part
do
assure
you
,
(
although
I
haue
to
goe
another
way
)
yet
for
the
great
sorrow
&
griefe
that
I
receiue
for
this
your
misfortune
,
I
will
goe
with
you
into
your
Country
,
&
will
not
goe
forth
one
step
out
of
your
company
,
till
such
time
as
I
doe
see
how
all
thing
will
passe
,
in
this
your
enterprise
and
prouing
of
fortune
.
And
in
that
you
doe
aske
of
me
my
name
,
and
what
Country
man
I
am
?
Surely
I
am
so
desperate
&
doe
so
much
abhorre
my
owne
life
,
that
not
many
daies
since
,
by
chaunce
I
met
with
the
greatest
friends
that
I
haue
in
the
world
,
who
trauailed
in
my
demaund
,
and
without
making
my selfe
knowen
vnto
them
I
departed
&
left
them
,
for
that
I
would
not
that
they
should
vnderstand
that
I
am
aliue
,
but
now
séeing
that
you
▪
most
valiant
&
worthy
knight
,
haue
declared
vnto
me
,
and
very
plainly
,
the
whole
discourse
of
your
trauaile
,
&
the
secret
of
your
hart
&
estate
,
it
now
seemeth
vnto
me
,
that
I
shall
haue
no
reason
to
hide
my selfe
from
you
,
vnderstand
then
that
I
am
Rosicleer
,
sonne
vnto
Trebatio
,
the
Emperour
of
Grece
,
and
the
●…mpresse
Briana
,
daughter
vnto
the
King
Tiberio
of
Hungaria
,
and
by
my
misfortune
I
am
out
of
fauour
and
cast
off
by
a
precious
Princesse
,
whom
I
doe
loue
with
all
my
heart
,
by
whom
I
am
constrained
to
trauaile
these
straunge
countries
,
onely
with
the
name
of
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
for
that
no
newes
of
me
might
come
vnto
the
eares
of
that
cruell
Princesse
,
who
with
the
same
condition
did
graunt
vnto
mee
my
life
.
And
héerewith
the
knight
of
Cupid
made
an
ende
of
his
wordes
.
When
the
King
Sacridoro
vnderstoode
who
that
Knight
was
that
gaue
him
so
good
and
sound
counsaile
,
and
so
liberally
did
offer
vnto
him
his
company
▪
he
did
sodainly
con●…eiue
in
his
hart
a
great
loue
and
friendshippe
,
in
so
ample
●…
manner
,
that
he
neuer
had
the
like
to
any
other
Knight
,
the
which
thing
did
shew
it selfe
,
as
in
this
History
shall
appeare
.
So
he
went
vnto
the
Knight
of
Cupid
and
said
:
Oh
worthie
&
most
excellent
prince
,
now
may
I
say
that
I
haue
no
occasion
to
complaine
on
Fortune
,
for
that
it
hath
not
taken
from
me
so
much
as
I
haue
this
day
,
onely
in
knowing
of
you
,
&
seeing
in
you
so
great
a
comfort
,
for
certainlie
I
do
beléeue
&
hope
,
that
if
I
haue
your
soueraigne
bounty
with
me
,
not
onely
to
get
againe
my
lost
kingdome
,
but
also
to
haue
the
kingdome
in
my
power
,
of
the
king
Polidarco
my
enimie
:
Unto
thée
,
O
mercifull
God
,
I
doe
giue
in●…inite
thankes
,
for
that
I
acknowledge
this
my
remedy
doth
procéede
from
thée
,
&
from
thy
hands
,
and
so
I
will
accept
it
,
&
therefore
soueraigue
prince
,
héere
I
doe
accept
&
receiue
the
great
curtesie
that
you
offered
vnto
me
,
&
will
p●…sse
into
An●…iochia
in
your
company
,
with
no
lesse
ioy
&
assurance
,
then
as
though
I
were
in
the
middest
of
a
mightie
&
strong
army
.
With
these
&
other
words
of
great
curtesie
betwixt
them
they
passed
on
their
way
,
&
when
they
were
departed
out
of
that
high
way
they
trauailed
forwards
by
the
si●…es
of
high
&
mighty
mountaines
verie
craggy
▪
which
were
vpon
the
right
hand
,
&
being
there
,
the
king
Sacridoro
said
vnto
the
knight
of
Cupid
:
You
shall
vnderstand
(
worthy
prince
)
that
for
to
passe
into
Antiochia
,
either
we
must
proceed
forwards
this
way
in
which
we
now
are
,
by
the
plaine
country
,
or
else
wée
must
trauaile
ouer
these
high
mountain●…s
which
be
héere
before
vs
,
&
by
either
of
them
there
is
great
perill
&
daunger
,
for
if
we
trauaile
this
plaine
Country
,
we
must
of
very
force
passe
through
a
great
part
of
the
Country
of
the
king
Polidarco
,
and
considering
the
number
o●…
spies
that
he
hath
laide
in
wait
for
mée
,
it
cannot
be
chose●…
but
that
I
shall
bée
knowen
,
so
that
euery
day
wée
shal●…
haue
great
and
perillous
battailes
with
the
knights
of
th●…
King
,
and
againe
if
wée
doe
passe
along
the
toppes
of
〈◊〉
mountaines
,
they
say
that
it
is
not
inhabited
,
but
all
〈◊〉
and
that
there
is
on
them
verie
many
terrible
and
furiou●…
beastes
,
so
that
of
long
time
since
there
hath
none
〈◊〉
that
way
for
feare
of
them
,
therefore
valiant
knight
consider
vnto
which
of
these
two
daungers
we
shall
offer
our selues
.
The
knight
of
Cupid
did
study
a
while
vpon
the
same
,
and
afterward
aunswered
&
said
:
Of
two
euills
it
is
good
alwaies
to
eschue
the
worst
,
and
it
seemeth
vnto
me
that
to
passe
this
plaine
through
the
land
of
the
king
Polidarco
,
is
not
onely
perillous
for
the
battailes
which
we
doe
looke
for
with
his
knights
,
but
also
it
is
very
hurtfull
vnto
vs
,
for
you
be
knowen
,
whereby
we
shall
not
at
ease
enter
into
your
kingdome
.
Therefore
it
séemeth
best
vnto
me
that
we
take
this
way
by
the
mountains
,
for
although
ther
be
wild
beasts
,
as
you
say
,
we
shall
with
more
ease
ouercome
them
then
armed
men
,
for
that
God
did
make
man
Lord
,
giuing
him
power
ouer
all
wilde
beasts
,
&
what
by
strength
or
by
pollicie
ther
is
no
kind
of
wild
beast
,
be
he
neuer
so
furious
,
but
by
man
he
is
subdued
and
brought
into
subiection
.
When
the
knight
of
Cupid
had
vttered
these
words
vnto
the
king
Sacridoro
,
his
counsell
did
like
him
very
well
,
&
therewith
they
tooke
their
iourney
towardes
the
top
of
those
mountaines
,
which
were
of
so
great
height
,
that
all
that
day
&
the
next
day
following
they
had
enough
to
doe
to
get
vnto
the
▪
top
of
them
,
&
when
they
were
aboue
they
saw
that
it
was
verye
plaine
,
although
they
saw
in
them
many
great
&
thick
woods
,
and
full
of
bushes
,
which
made
it
to
be
more
hard
to
passe
,
&
for
lack
of
trauailing
that
way
ther
was
no
vsuall
path
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
their
trauaile
was
more
troublesome
vnto
them
,
but
for
that
the
harts
of
either
of

and

Of

.
Chap.
19.
AS
these
two
worthye
and
valiaunt
knights
trauailed
together
vpon
those
sharp
and
fragrant
mountaines
,
the
one
imparted
vnto
the
other
all
the
whole
estate
of
their
amorous
pessions
,
so
that
both
in
declaring
as
well
of
the
one
as
the
other
,
it
seemed
vnto
them
that
they
did
not
●…eele
the
wearinesse
of
their
iourney
,
and
in
this
sort
they
trauailed
two
daies
without
eating
any
thing
,
but
of
such
wild
fruit
as
they
found
in
euery
place
whereas
they
went
.
So
the
third
day
at
such
time
as
the
Sunne
was
about
an
houre
high
,
trauailing
without
anie
care
by
a
forrest
,
which
seemed
to
be
a
more
quiet
&
peaceable
Country
then
that
which
they
had
before
trauailed
in
.
Upon
a
sodaine
their
horses
started
,
&
their
haire
began
to
stand
vpright
,
&
they
were
afraide
,
&
braied
&
snorted
in
such
sort
,
that
they
could
not
make
them
procéede
forwarde
,
and
looking
about
them
towards
euery
side
,
to
sée
what
it
should
be
that
caused
the
same
,
&
on
a
sodaine
ther
came
forth
of
the
most
thickest
of
the
Forrest
two
great
sauage
&
wild
men
,
who
in
the
bignesse
of
their
bodies
seemed
to
be
giants
,
who
were
mounted
vpon
two
Lions
very
furious
,
which
serued
them
for
horses
,
without
any
bridle
or
other
kinde
of
thing
,
but
they
had
each
of
them
in
their
handes
a
mighty
great
,
heauie
,
&
knotted
club
,
with
the
which
they
did
gouerne
their
Lions
to
goe
what
way
it
pleased
them
,
and
when
they
had
discouered
the
two
knights
,
they
went
towards
them
,
and
when
they
approched
them
,
the
feare
was
so
great
that
their
horses
receiued
,
that
all
the
pollicie
and
strength
which
the
knights
could
vse
,
was
not
sufficient
to
make
them
goe
towards
the
sauage
men
.
So
before
they
could
haue
leasure
to
alight
from
their
horses
,
these
sauages
were
come
vnto
them
,
vpon
their
tamed
Lions
,
and
finding
the
knights
with
their
backes
towards
them
,
for
that
their
horses
did
cast
themselues
about
,
they
stroke
them
with
their
knottie
clubbes
two
such
blowes
vpon
their
fiue
and
stéelie
healmes
,
with
so
great
strength
,
that
they
made
them
stoupe
forwardes
with
theyr
breasts
vpon
the
saddle
bowes
,
béeing
somewhat
amazed
.
And
beefore
that
they
could
come
well
againe
to
themselues
,
these
sauages
stroke
them
other
two
blowes
that
brought
them
out
of
their
remembraunces
,
and
therewith
they
tooke
them
in
their
armes
from
theyr
horses
,
and
carryed
them
into
the
thickest
of
that
forrest
,
and
they
had
not
borne
them
far
,
but
they
came
vnto
a
verie
great
fountayne
,
which
séemed
to
bée
in
the
manner
of
a
cesterne
,
and
the
water
was
as
cleere
as
Christal
,
but
it
was
of
so
great
depth
,
that
it
seemed
to
haue
no
bottome
.
When
they
were
come
thether
,
these
wilde
men
dyd
lay
the
two
knights
vppon
the
ground
without
any
remembraunce
as
they
were
beefore
,
and
alighting
from
their
lyons
,
they
made
them
fast
vnto
two
Trées
there
by
,
and
straight
way
they
béegan
to
giue
terrible
and
mightie
blaringes
and
shrikes
,
such
as
might
bée
heard
a
great
way
,
at
which
noise
in
a
short
time
there
was
gathered
together
about
that
Fountaine
more
then
twentie
sauages
,
such
as
they
were
,
some
riding
vpon
Wolues
,
and
other
some
vpon
other
wilde
beasts
,
some
of
them
which
came
nigh
vnto
the
knights
whereas
they
lay
,
dyd
labour
and
trauaile
all
that
euer
they
could
to
vnarme
them
,
&
for
that
they
were
not
expert
in
the
vse
of
armour
,
they
dyd
nothing
but
tumble
them
vp
and
downe
from
the
one
side
to
the
other
,
and
could
not
finde
which
way
to
get
of
theyr
armour
.
And
in
tumbling
of
them
in
this
sort
,
the
knight
of
Cupid
came
vnto
himselfe
,
and
hée
séeing
in
what
state
hée
was
,
in
spight
of
all
those
that
were
vnarming
him
hée
rose
vp
from
the
ground
whereas
hée
lay
,
and
drew
out
his
fine
cutting
Swoord
which
was
giuen
him
by
the
Quéene
●…ulia
,
and
with
great
fury
and
inflamed
wrath
,
hée
stroke
the
first
that
hee
found
next
him
such
a
terrible
blow
vppon
the
wast
that
hée
cut
him
in
two
péeces
,
&
ouerthrew
him
dead
to
the
ground
,
and
so
he
serued
the
second
,
and
the
third
,
&
when
all
the
rest
of
these
wilde
men
saw
what
had
passed
,
they
were
in
a
great
feare
,
yet
for
all
that
they
tooke
vnto
them
their
great
knotted
clubbes
,
and
all
together
assaulted
him
,
and
when
they
had
compassed
him
round
about
on
euery
side
,
they
laid
vpon
him
so
strongly
,
that
the
knight
of
Cupide
was
put
to
great
trauayle
,
for
that
with
theyr
strong
&
heauy
blows
they
all
to
brused
his
flesh
and
bones
,
but
seeing
that
hee
had
no
other
thing
to
deliuer
him
from
that
reproch
but
onely
his
sword
,
hee
so
béehaued
himselfe
therewith
,
béesturring
him
from
the
one
side
to
the
other
,
that
the
effusion
of
blood
was
so
great
amongst
those
sauage
people
,
that
the
cléere
and
christall
water
of
that
fountaine
was
dyed
red
with
the
blood
of
them
,
and
the
battaile
béetwixt
them
was
very
terrile
and
bloody
,
and
if
this
battaile
had
endured
long
,
this
good
and
valyaunt
knight
had
sound
himselfe
in
great
peril
and
daunger
,
for
that
there
was
no
hum●…ne
creature
able
to
suffer
the
mightie
blowes
which
those
sauage
people
did
strike
with
their
clubs
,
béeing
strok
so
thick
,
as
commonly
a
smith
doth
strike
vpon
his
anfield
,
but
his
valiaunt
and
stout
courage
was
such
,
and
his
force
and
fury
,
that
in
a
small
time
hee
made
such
destruction
amongst
them
,
that
of
more
then
twentie
which
were
there
of
them
,
there
remained
aliue
but
three
,
who
ran
away
with
all
the
hast
they
might
,
and
put
themselues
into
the
thickest
of
the
Forrest
,
and
all
the
rest
lay
along
vpon
the
ground
,
some
their
armes
cut
off
,
and
some
theyr
heads
clouen
in
péeces
,
and
some
their
shoulders
clouen
to
their
breasts
,
and
other
some
cut
cleane
a
sunder
in
the
middest
,
that
whosoeuer
had
séene
so
great
●…estruction
amongst
such
barbaro●…s
people
and
furious
sauages
as
they
were
,
would
certainely
béeléeue
that
there
had
beene
no
humane
power
&
strength
able
to
haue
done
it
,
and
when
this
battaile
was
finished
,
this
worthie
knight
remained
so
wearie
and
brused
of
his
body
,
that
hee
could
not
stand
vpon
his
feete
,
and
beeing
very
drie
,
hée
went
vnto
the
Fountaine
,
and
pulled
of
his
helme
,
and
whereas
the
water
was
most
cléerest
&
troubled
with
the
blood
,
the
same
for
to
drincke
,
and
drinking
thereof
,
hée
had
not
well
staunched
his
great
thirst
when
hée
f●…ldowne
vnto
the
ground
without
any
feeling
or
remembrance
.
And
at
the
same
time
that
hée
was
drincking
,
the
good
King
Sacridoro
was
come
to
himselfe
,
and
when
hée
saw
that
great
slaughter
that
was
vppon
the
ground
,
and
the
knight
of
Cupid
a
foote
a
drinking
,
he
remained
as
one
amazed
and
béeside
himselfe
,
and
could
neyther
arise
vp
nor
speake
one
word
,
séeing
that
,
which
séemed
vnto
him
to
bée
a
thing
the
most
straungest
and
wonderfull
that
euer
was
seene
or
could
bée
imagined
,
&
at
that
time
that
the
knight
of
Cupide
did
fall
downe
to
the
ground
in
a
sound
,
at
the
same
instant
there
came
forth
of
the
profound
depth
of
that
Fountaine
a
Monster
of
the
Sea
,
very
great
,
and
of
bodie
verie
horrible
and
wonderfull
to
béehould
,
who
had
the
face
of
a
maide
,
with
hir
haire
hanging
downe
halfe
hir
bodie
,
so
soone
as
shée
was
out
of
the
fountaine
shée
went
vnto
the
knight
of
Cupide
,
who
lay
along
vpon
the
ground
,
and
tooke
him
in
hir
armes
,
and
returned
vnto
the
fountaine
and
dyued
downe
to
the
bottome
thereof
with
the
Knight
,
in
such
sort
that
they
could
not
bee
seene
,
neither
was
ther
any
signe
of
them
.
When
this
good
king
Sacridoro
saw
his
very
friend
so
conuaied
into
the
water
and
carried
away
by
that
Monster
,
whether
as
bee
could
not
imagine
to
the
contrarie
,
but
euen
to
bee
made
hir
foode
,
I
cannot
héere
declare
the
great
griefe
and
anguish
that
hee
felt
in
his
hart
,
in
such
sort
,
that
if
hi●…
death
at
that
present
had
béene
presented
vnto
him
,
it
could
not
haue
grieued
him
more
,
and
all
times
when
hée
dyd
remember
the
losse
of
his
friend
,
the
most
worthiest
Prince
in
his
opinion
that
was
in
all
the
world
,
and
againe
the
great
remedie
that
hée
had
conceiued
in
his
hart
,
to
haue
recoue●…ed
by
his
aide
and
help
,
hée
could
not
by
any
m●…anes
suffer
so
great
sorrow
,
but
fel
downe
vnto
the
ground
as
one
that
were
gasp●…ng
for
life
,
tumbling
himself
vpon
the
earth
,
giuing
very
grieuous
sighes
and
grones
,
lamenting
much
his
misfortune
with
words
of
great
sor●…ow
and
lamentation
,
&
in
this
sort
be
passed
away
all
the
rest
of
the
day
which
remained
,
and
likewise
the
whole
night
following
,
till
the
second
day
was
come
,
in
the
which
happened
as
shall
bée
tolde
you
in
this
next
chapter
following
.
How
the
three
Princes
Bargandell
Lyriamandro
,
and
the
Tartarian
Zoylo
,
came
vnto
the
fountaine
whereas
the
king
Sacridoro
was
lamenting
the
death
of
his
great
friend
the
knight
of
Cupide
,
and
how
they
were
aduertised
by
him
who
hee
was
,
and
of
all
that
happened
therein
.
Chap.
20.
YOu
do
well
remember
how
that
we
left
the
thrée
Princes
,
Bargandel
,
Lyriamandro
,
&
the
Tartarian
Zoylo
,
in
the
kingdome
of
Lusitania
in
the
demaund
of
the
Knight
of
Cupide
.
Now
the
Historie
sayth
that
the
thrée
princes
had
béetwixt
them
a
great
controuersie
which
of
the
two
should
bée
most
valiantest
and
of
higher
bountie
,
eyther
the
Knight
of
Cupide
,
or
theyr
very
friend
Rosicleer
,
and
were
very
desirous
to
heare
some
newes
as
wel
of
the
one
as
of
the
other
,
&
with
this
great
desire
they
did
trauayle
till
they
came
to
the
same
Port
whereas
the
knight
of
Cupid
had
imbarked
himselfe
,
whereas
they
heard
newes
of
him
of
very
many
the
which
had
seene
him
,
and
therewith
they
put
themselues
in
a
good
ship
,
&
committed
themselues
vnto
God
,
and
sayling
by
the
sea
,
they
were
taken
with
the
same
storme
and
torment
that
wee
spake
of
in
the
Chapter
beefore
.
And
whether
it
was
by
the
great
wisdome
of
Artemidoro
,
or
by
fortune
,
I
know
not
,
but
theyr
Ship
dyd
aruie
in
the
Kingdome
of
Phenicia
,
in
the
same
Port
wheras
the
knight
of
Cupide
did
disimbarke
himselfe
,
and
this
was
the
next
day
following
after
that
they
had
entered
in
,
and
of
the
merchaunts
that
were
there
they
vnderstoode
newes
of
the
Knight
of
Cupide
,
and
how
that
the
day
before
hée
was
departed
into
the
Countrie
,
and
hauing
these
newes
,
they
straight
way
departed
and
followed
him
,
and
dyd
aske
of
euery
one
that
they
met
for
him
.
So
they
were
certified
by
certaiine
shepheards
,
(
as
there
were
very
many
on
the
skirts
of
those
mountaines
)
how
that
hee
and
the
king
Sacridoro
did
take
their
way
towards
the
wildernesse
,
When
the
thrée
Princes
had
fully
certified
themselues
therof
,
with
great
ioy
they
followed
him
so
long
,
that
in
the
ende
they
came
nigh
vnto
the
fountaine
of
the
sauage
people
,
and
before
they
came
vnto
the
fountaine
,
they
found
the
Horse
of
the
King
Sacridoro
and
of
the
Knight
of
Cupide
,
which
ran
about
the
fields
,
drawing
after
them
their
saddles
and
bridles
,
and
when
they
saw
them
and
knew
the
one
of
them
to
bée
the
horse
of
the
knight
of
Cupide
,
they
were
greatly
troubled
in
their
minds
,
and
knew
not
what
to
say
,
but
looked
one
vpon
another
,
and
seemed
that
it
could
not
be
well
with
their
masters
,
sèeing
their
Horsses
runne
in
such
sort
about
the
field
,
and
for
that
they
were
all
of
a
meruailous
strong
and
stout
courage
,
they
did
offer
theyr
liues
into
what
so
euer
perill
or
daunger
should
happen
.
Thus
they
went
round
about
from
one
part
to
another
séeking
these
two
Knights
,
and
in
the
ende
they
trauailed
so
much
that
they
came
vnto
the
great
and
faire
fountaine
,
whereas
they
saw
the
wonderfull
slaughter
of
the
sauage
people
,
which
lay
alongst
the
ground
,
and
found
the
King
Sacridoro
stretched
vpon
the
earth
,
as
one
that
had
neither
reason
nor
vnderstanding
,
but
béeside
himselfe
,
with
the
great
sorrow
,
wéeping
,
and
grieuous
lamentation
which
hée
passed
that
night
past
,
and
all
the
day
beefore
,
and
when
they
saw
him
in
this
case
,
and
likewise
the
great
slaughter
made
vppon
that
wilde
and
furious
sort
of
people
,
they
receiued
great
admiration
,
and
thought
verily
that
the
king
Sacridoro
had
béene
dead
,
and
iudged
that
hée
and
the
Knight
of
Cupide
had
done
the
same
,
and
for
to
certifie
themselues
the
●…etter
,
they
all
thrée
alighted
from
their
Horsses
,
and
came
●…nto
the
King
and
pulled
off
his
helme
,
and
therewith
they
●…ooke
water
out
of
the
Fountayne
and
threw
it
vpon
his
●…ce
,
and
for
that
hee
had
receiued
no
other
harme
but
drounesse
with
watching
and
wéeping
,
hée
quickly
came
vnto
●…mselfe
,
and
when
hée
saw
those
Knights
beefore
him
,
hee
●…gan
a
new
both
to
sigh
and
wéepe
verie
piteously
,

O
sir
knights
,
wherefore
haue
you
done
vnto
mée
so
much
harme
,
as
to
cause
mée
to
come
agayne
vnto
my
remembraunce
,
you
should
haue
suffered
mée
to
dye
,
that
I
might
not
haue
felt
any
more
such
euill
fortune
,
let
mée
pray
you
malte
an
ende
of
this
sorrowfull
lyfe
,
for
that
there
is
no
other
thing
that
can
comfort
mée
.
Oh
Trebatio
,
Emperour
of
Grecia
,
who
shall
beare
vnto
thee
this
heauie
newes
of
thy
sonne
the
knight
of
Cupide
?
Who
dare
come
before
thy
presence
to
giue
thee
to
vnderstand
of
this
grieuous
and
delorous
misfortune
?
These
and
other
many
such
words
,
said
this
good
King
Sacridoro
,
lamenting
the
death
of
his
great
friend
.
When
these
three
Princes
vnderstood
,
that
hée
was
sonne
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
whose
great
fame
came
vnto
their
eares
:
very
much
amezed
and
sore
troubled
,
they
dyd
béeholde
one
an
other
,
and
knew
not
what
to
say
vnto
that
which
they
had
heard
spoken
.
And
being
very
desirous
to
know
to
what
ende
it
was
spoken
,
they
came
vnto
the
King
Sacridoro
,
and
dyd
comfort
him
in
the
best
wise
they
could
,
and
desired
him
to
tell
them
what
was
béecome
of
the
knight
of
Cupide
,
for
that
of
long
time
they
had
trauailed
in
his
demaund
.
So
when
the
King
saw
the
thrée
Princes
,
which
as
well
in
their
armour
as
in
their
disposition
séemed
vnto
him
to
bée
knights
of
great
estimation
.
With
many
teares
and
great
sighes
,
hee
tolde
vnto
them
all
that
which
had
happened
vnto
him
,
and
vnto
the
knight
of
Cupid
with
the
sauage
people
,
and
in
what
sort
the
monster
dyd
carrie
away
the
knight
of
Cupide
into
the
deapth
of
that
Fountaine
.
Also
hee
tolde
them
that
this
knight
was
called
by
his
other
name
Rosicleer
,
and
was
sonne
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
and
of
the
Empresse
Briana
.
When
the
princes
vnderstood
that
the
knight
of
Cupid
was
Rosicleer
their
very
friend
,
eyther
of
them
receiued
so
great
sorrow
and
heauinesse
,
as
though
hée
had
béene
dead
beefore
them
.
And
hauing
no
power
to
suffer
so
dolorous
newes
,
euerie
one
o●…
them
threw
himselfe
vpon
the
ground
,
and
without
speaking
any
word
,
eyther
of
them
dyd
wéepe
and
bée
waile
th●…
death
of
their
friend
very
grieuouslie
.
When
the
king
Sacridoro
vnderstood
that
those
thrée
Knights
were
friends
vnto
the
Knight
of
Cupide
,
hée
receiued
a
new
sorrow
and
griefe
in
his
heart
,
to
sée
them
lament
&
sorrow
for
his
death
,
and
with
this
great
rage
and
mortall
anguish
hée
went
vnto
the
Fountaine
,
and
standing
vpon
his
feete
hee
dyd
beehold
the
profound
deepenesse
of
the
water
,
&
thrée
times
hée
was
ready
to
throw
himselfe
therin
,
and
many
times
hee
retired
back
againe
,
but
in
the
ende
(
the
wise
Artemidoro
saith
)
that
hée
said
these
words
:
Oh
worthy
and
valyant
knight
of
Cupide
,
séeing
that
my
cruell
destinie
will
not
permit
that
in
lyfe
time
I
cannot
enioye
thy
company
and
friendshippe
,
my
death
shall
now
follow
●…hine
,
and
one
Sepulcher
shal
possesse
both
thy
bones
and
mine
.
And
in
saying
these
words
hée
slipped
forwardes
with
his
féete
into
the
fountaine
,
all
armed
as
hée
was
,
and
with
the
great
waight
of
his
armour
,
hée
sunke
straight
waies
vnto
the
bottome
of
the
water
,
in
such
sort
that
hee
was
no
more
séene
.
The
wise
Artemidoro
doeth
write
this
notable
acte
done
by
this
king
,
declaring
that
the
loue
and
friendship
which
hée
had
vnto
Rosicleer
,
was
the
occasion
that
hée
desired
to
liue
no
longer
,
for
that
hée
thought
verily
hée
had
béene
dead
.
But
the
wise
Lyrgandeo
sayth
,
that
the
King
Sacridoro
had
some
knowledge
of
this
meruaylous
Fountaine
,
and
that
hée
had
some
hope
to
finde
his
friend
the
knight
of
Cupid
aliue
,
but
how
so
euer
it
was
,
it
was
a
thing
worthie
of
great
memorie
,
and
the
greatest
experyence
of
friendshippe
that
euer
was
séene
.
And
when
the
●…hrée
Princes
heard
the
words
which
the
King
sayde
,
and
●…aw
him
throw
himselfe
into
the
Fountaine
,
they
knew
not
what
to
say
,
but
séemed
as
though
they
had
béen
in
a
dreame
,
●…ut
yet
if
the
danger
of
the
losse
of
their
soules
had
not
dis●…urbed
them
,
euery
one
of
them
very
gladly
and
with
verie
●…ood
will
could
haue
found
in
his
hart
to
haue
done
so
much
●…s
the
king
Sacridoro
did
,
and
there
they
remained
all
that
●…y
and
all
the
night
following
,
and
did
no
other
thing
but
●…ment
.
So
the
next
day
they
thought
it
could
not
profit
them
remaine
ther
,
&
determined
to
returne
to
sea
,
&
goe
to
the
court
of
the
King
Oliuerio
,
and
from
thence
to
depart
vnto
their
owne
countries
,
and
so
they
departed
from
thence
,
and
retourned
the
way
which
they
came
so
sad
and
sorrowfull
,
that
many
daies
after
they
could
not
receiue
any
comfort
,
neither
could
there
any
pleasure
enter
into
them
.
Whom
this
Historie
doth
leaue
till
time
doth
serue
,
for
to
tell
you
of
the
worthie
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
whom
wée
left
trauailing
towards
the
Empire
of
Gercia
.
Of
a
straunge
aduenture
which
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
found
trauailing
towards
the
Grecian
Empire
,
Chapter
21.
AFter
that
the
mightie
Alphoebo
was
departed
from
the
bridge
whereas
hee
had
the
battaile
with
Florinaldus
,
and
his
knights
,
the
historie
saith
that
in
few
daies
he
entered
into
the
Empire
of
Grecia
,
vpon
that
side
which
is
beetwixt
Dardenie
and
Macedonia
and
trauailing
certaine
daies
in
that
Countrie
,
hée
alwaies
kept
his
right
way
towards
Constantinople
.
So
it
happened
vpon
a
day
as
he
trauailed
by
a
broad
&
vsed
way
which
went
from
one
Citie
to
another
,
at
such
time
as
the
greatest
force●…
of
the
Sunne
was
ouerpassed
,
hee
saw
in
the
same
way
comming
towards
him
a
great
multitude
of
people
,
and
the
mo●…
part
of
them
seemed
to
be
Gentlewomen
,
amongst
whom
the
seemed
●…o
be
armed
giants
,
and
as
they
came
a
far
of
,
it
happened
to
bée
a
thing
of
great
maiestie
and
highnesse
,
and
th●…
knight
of
the
sun
being
very
destrous
to
know
who
it
shal●…
bee
,
did
put
himselfe
somwhat
out
of
the
way
on
Horseba●…
as
hée
was
,
and
stoode
still
,
and
tarried
till
all
that
peop●…
should
passe
by
,
for
that
all
things
in
that
Countrie
seem●…
very
straunge
vnto
him
,
and
likewise
at
this
time
a
thi●…
greatly
to
bee
meruailed
at
,
for
although
hee
could
not
●…iecture
with
him
what
occasion
should
moue
him
to
be
tro●…bled
,
yet
he
f●…it
within
himselfe
a
great
weaknes
,
as
thou●…
he
should
haue
sounded
▪
which
made
him
to
thinke
in
his
●…art
that
he
should
heare
of
some
new
&
straunge
euent
,
&
being
thus
troubled
with
himselfe
,
within
a
while
after
those
people
which
he
had
seene
passe
by
,
but
the
great
wonders
and
merua●…s
which
he
saw
there
at
that
present
,
no
tongue
can
tell
nor
p●…can
write
the
secret
therof
yea
,
such
,
that
if
Homer
were
present
for
to
make
description
therof
,
yet
for
all
that
,
the
wonderfull
matter
contained
therof
,
would
surmount
his
eloquent
stile
▪
&
the
pleasantnesse
of
the
Historie
,
the
sweet
harmonie
of
his
song
.
To
conclude
,
the
wise
Artemidoro
saith
,
that
the
aduenture
was
worthy
to
be
at
chieued
of
so
high
&
worthy
a
knight
,
&
did
not
appertaine
vnto
any
other
that
was
baser
then
the
sonne
of
Trebatio
,
and
if
that
soueraigne
Princes
without
all
comparison
of
beauty
and
fairenesse
,
Claridiana
had
not
bene
discouered
&
knowen
by
the
Princes
in
Trabisond
.
Then
the
author
might
well
haue
said
,
that
all
the
beauty
of
the
world
was
ioyned
together
in
this
aduenture
,
the
which
came
in
this
order
.
There
came
formost
of
all
twentie
damselles
,
and
euerie
one
very
richly
apparailed
,
and
mounted
vppon
But
●…ornes
,
all
betrapped
with
cloth
of
golde
,
and
euery
one
of
them
had
on
their
heads
a
very
faire
and
gallant
bunch
of
●…eathers
,
and
all
these
came
by
three
and
three
,
which
was
a
●…raunge
sight
to
bee
seene
,
&
after
these
Damsells
came
a
●…ery
great
and
triumphant
Chariot
,
the
which
was
carri●…d
vpon
twelue
whéeles
of
very
fine
Iuorie
,
and
drawen
with
twelue
Unicornes
,
as
white
as
the
Snow
,
and
all
the
●…arnesse
that
belonged
vnto
them
was
of
very
fine
golde
,
●…nd
euery
one
of
these
vnicornes
had
vpon
him
a
dwarfe
,
with
a
whippe
in
his
hand
to
gouerne
him
.
This
Chariot
●…as
very
long
of
one
hundreth
foote
,
and
fiftéene
foot
broad
,
●…nd
the
Chariot
was
couered
all
ouer
with
a
Tent
verye
●…chlie
wrought
with
golde
and
silke
,
and
vnder
that
Tent
●…as
there
made
a
diuision
of
chambers
and
closets
,
and
in
●…e
fore
part
of
the
chariot
from
the
tent
,
ther
was
in
manner
●…f
a
tabernacle
very
high
,
and
all
the
fore part
discouered
&
open
.
And
vnder
the
same
was
ther
wrought
with
gold
two
arkes
,
the
one
ioyning
to
the
other
,
of
so
excellent
and
rich
worke
,
that
according
to
the
great
&
sumptuous
riches
,
ther
was
neuer
Emperour
of
Rome
in
his
most
triumph
that
had
the
like
arks
made
vnto
him
,
and
vnder
the
same
arkes
there
was
two
chaires
,
all
of
gold
&
precious
stones
,
&
in
one
of
those
chaires
there
sate
a
Damsell
,
that
according
vnto
the
great
maiestie
&
beautie
which
she
had
,
séemed
to
be
some
celestiall
creature
come
downe
from
the
heauens
.
And
it
is
not
to
be
beléeued
that
Helena
,
for
whom
there
were
stayne
so
many
thousandes
of
Gréekes
&
Troyans
,
was
so
fayre
as
she
.
Thiy
Damsell
was
apparailed
in
a
roabe
of
cloth
of
golde
,
all
set
full
of
fiue
Sapheres
,
with
very
faire
&
strange
worke
,
&
she
had
vpon
hir
head
a
call
made
of
Emeraudes
,
in
maner
of
a
net
,
through
the
which
hir
yeolow
haire
was
séene
,
that
it
séemed
to
bée
thirde
of
fine
golde
,
and
for
that
she
was
as
white
as
Snow
,
she
séemed
of
so
great
beautie
,
that
no
humane
vnderstanding
was
able
to
comprehende
the
same
.
Under
the
other
arke
hard
by
that
,
ther
sate
in
the
chaire
,
a
knight
all
armed
sauing
his
head
,
of
a
high
stature
and
well
made
,
his
face
was
very
faire
and
of
a
good
and
gentle
proportion
,
and
his
armour
was
so
strange
and
rich
,
that
the
line
was
neuer
séene
in
the
world
,
for
that
it
was
made
all
of
scales
of
fish
,
which
is
in
the
Athlantike
sea
,
●…d
as
white
as
milke
,
and
as
hard
as
any
Diamond
,
and
all
the
ioynts
and
lasings
thereof
was
garnished
with
very
fine
golde
and
precious
stones
,
wrought
very
strangelie
,
&
beside
that
,
they
were
of
much
more
force
,
then
if
they
had
bene
of
fine
steele
,
(
and
tempered
by
art
magicke
)
they
were
so
straunge
and
faire
in
shew
,
that
any
king
or
Emperour
of
high
estate
would
gladlie
desire
to
haue
the
like
.
Hée
hadde
also
a
swoord
at
his
girdle
girt
vnto
him
,
the
hangers
and
the
scabbard
were
all
of
fine
golde
,
and
the
pommell
and
ball
was
of
a
fine
Emeraude
.
He
hadd
vppon
his
head
a
Hat
of
gréene
Silke
,
all
full
of
small
Rubies
,
and
hadde
a
very
faire
brouch
in
it
.
And
for
that
hée
was
white
and
faire
of
face
,
it
did
béecome
him
meruaylously
well
:
he
carried
his
arme
▪
vppon
the
chaire
,
&
leaned
his
head
on
his
hand
lookeing
downewards
with
his
eies
somewhat
with
a
sad
countenaunce
,
that
●…
seemed
●…ee
had
some
care
,
and
at
the
feete
of
this
knight
&
of
the
Damsell
that
sat
by
him
,
ther
sat
si●…e
Gentlewomen
,
all
apa●…ailed
in
cloth
of
s●…uer
,
brodered
with
very
straunge
&
rich
worke
of
gold
&
stones
,
who
were
crowned
with
crownes
of
gold
vpon
their
heads
like
vnto
Queenes
,
&
had
in
their
hands
certaine
instruments
in
forme
of
Lutes
,
with
the
which
they
made
very
swéete
musicke
.
And
before
this
Chariot
came
on
foote
twelue
Gyants
of
a
meruailous
great
&
huge
sta●…ure
,
all
armed
with
very
fine
&
shining
stéele
,
and
euery
one
of
them
had
a
hatchet
of
armes
in
his
hand
,
and
according
vnto
the
fierce
&
furious
figure
which
they
shewed
,
it
was
a
wonderfull
&
terrible
sight
to
behold
.
Likewise
behinde
this
Chariot
ther
came
other
twelue
Gyants
,
in
such
order
as
the
first
did
,
but
these
came
all
mounted
vpon
great
&
mightie
horses
,
&
had
in
their
hands
heauie
clubbes
,
&
they
came
riding
two
&
two
together
.
In
this
sort
did
this
triumphant
Chariot
passe
by
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
with
so
great
a
maiestie
and
high
estate
,
that
it
was
very
meruailous
&
straunge
to
beholde
.
When
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
had
well
behelde
all
that
passed
by
him
,
and
had
contemplated
himselfe
in
beholding
that
faire
Damsell
which
sate
by
the
knight
,
hée
thought
verily
that
he
had
ioyed
in
some
celestiall
and
dinine
vision
.
So
when
the
Chariot
was
passed
by
and
out
of
sight
,
he
remayned
as
one
blinde
and
astonied
,
euen
as
the
Sunne
vppon
a
sodaine
should
loose
hir
light
,
or
as
if
the
day
should
bée
tourned
to
night
:
Euen
so
didde
hée
remaine
as
one
halfe
amazed
for
a
while
,
and
as
one
that
had
not
knowen
what
had
passed
,
and
for
that
hée
would
the
more
better
satisfie
himselfe
of
that
which
he
had
séene
,
as
one
which
still
remayned
in
a
great
doubt
,
hée
broched
his
Horse
with
the
spurs
and
rode
before
the
chariot
,
and
staied
himselfe
till
such
time
as
they
should
passe
by
him
againe
.
Now
when
he
saw
that
Damsell
,
&
had
contemplated
on
that
strange
&
soueraigne
beautie
,
straight
way
his
hard
&
strong
hart
that
neuer
was
ouercome
by
loue
,
was
in
such
sort
wounded
,
that
of
long
time
after
many
&
difficult
remedies
were
sought
to
heale
that
cankering
wound
,
and
he
that
no
humane
power
was
sufficient
to
moue
out
of
his
saddle
,
was
by
the
shew
of
that
faire
sight
so
troubled
in
his
vnder
standing
,
that
his
strength
failed
him
,
in
such
sort
,
that
if
his
Page
Bynnano
had
not
ben
,
who
did
very
well
perceius
his
perturbation
,
and
staied
him
,
otherwise
as
one
without
anie
remembraunce
he
had
fallen
downe
to
the
ground
,
but
his
Page
Bynnano
very
quicklie
came
to
his
Lord
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
held
him
fast
in
his
armes
with
all
his
strength
hee
could
,
saying
:
What
is
this
my
Lord
that
before
this
faire
company
you
doe
shew
your selfe
so
feeble
&
weake
:
Unto
which
the
knight
of
the
Sun
did
aunswere
neuer
a
word
,
but
as
one
amazed
&
astomed
he
knew
not
what
to
say
.
In
the
meane
time
the
damsells
which
rode
before
the
Cahriot
on
their
Unicornes
,
did
very
much
beehold
the
kinght
of
the
Sunne
,
&
he
seemed
vnto
them
that
he
was
the
best
proportioned
knight
that
euer
they
had
seene
,
&
one
of
these
damsells
who
seemed
to
be
more
pittifull
then
all
the
rest
,
〈◊〉
his
great
alteration
,
&
how
his
Page
did
sustaine
him
in
his
armes
,
supposing
that
hée
had
beene
in
a
sound
,
she
let
the
Chariot
passe
forward
&
came
where
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
was
,
&
said
vnto
his
Pages
:
Bretheren
,
I
pray
you
tel
me
what
is
the
sicknesse
of
this
knight
,
for
that
it
seemeth
to
me
he
is
in
a
sound
.
The
Knight
of
the
Sunne
when
he
saw
the
Damsell
,
of
whom
he
might
informe
himselfe
of
that
which
he
so
much
desired
,
comming
somewhat
vnto
himselfe
answered
hir
and
sayde
.
Fayre
Damsell
there
hath
happened
vnto
〈◊〉
●…
sodayne
sicknesse
,
that
I
my selfe
doe
not
know
〈◊〉
to
name
,
wherefore
I
cannot
aduertise
you
thereof
,
but
now
séeing
it
hath
ben
your
pleasure
to
haue
some
care
ouer
me
,
I
doe
most
hartelie
desire
you
to
declare
vnto
me
what
they
are
that
ride
in
that
Chariot
,
&
whether
they
are
going
in
such
triumphant
sort
,
for
it
may
so
fall
out
,
in
the
meane
time
that
you
doe
giue
me
to
vnderstand
therof
,
this
my
sicknesse
will
leaue
me
,
&
heerein
I
shall
be
much
bound
vnto
you
,
and
if
I
may
require
that
courtesie
.
The
damsell
who
receiued
great
contentment
in
his
company
said
:
Of
a
truth
sir
knight
,
although
it
will
be
somewhat
tedious
to
declare
vnto
you
all
this
which
you
doe
demaund
of
me
,
yet
I
will
tell
it
you
with
a
very
good
will
,
for
that
your
behauiour
doth
deserue
that
I
accomplish
this
,
yea
,
&
much
more
for
you
.
The
knight
of
the
Sun
did
giue
hir
great
thankes
for
hir
gentle
offer
,
&
she
began
to
tell
vnto
him
that
which
was
his
desire
,
saying
.
You
shall
vnderstand
sir
Knight
,
that
in
the
Gran
Ca●…aia
within
the
Orient
all
Regions
owelleth
an
high
and
mightie
Lord
called
Alicandro
,
who
is
Emperour
of
Tartaria
the
great
,
and
of
the
Scitiha
,
and
Lord
ouer
all
the
Ilands
Orientales
and
Meridionales
,
who
by
his
mightie
power
hath
brought
in
subiection
almost
all
the
kings
&
mightie
Lords
of
Asia
,
for
the
which
hee
is
called
the
mightie
Emperour
king
of
kings
and
Lord
of
Lordes
,
and
commeth
of
the
linage
of
the
diuine
Gods
,
whome
we
doe
honour
&
worship
,
for
which
cause
all
we
that
by
his
vassals
&
subiects
haue
him
in
more
reputation
then
any
humane
creature
.
This
mightie
Emperour
when
he
was
a
young
man
was
married
vnto
a
damsell
,
who
for
hir
great
bountie
&
beauty
was
had
in
reputation
for
a
deuine
Goddesse
,
and
béeing
with
childe
by
the
Emperour
,
when
hir
time
was
come
,
she
was
delyuered
at
one
birth
of
a
sonne
and
a
daughter
,
which
be
those
two
that
are
in
the
Chariot
vnder
the
two
rich
arkes
,
and
the
Damsell
is
called
Lindabrides
,
and
the
Knight
Meridian
,
and
as
you
sée
hir
without
comparison
faire
and
beautifull
so
is
he
,
neither
more
nor
lesse
without
comparison
in
armes
,
for
that
in
those
partes
there
was
neuer
séene
knight
of
so
much
strength
that
could
compare
himself
with
him
,
&
it
is
to
be
supposed
that
Iupiter
was
neuer
so
mightie
&
strong
as
he
is
,
of
whom
he
is
reported
to
descend
.
So
when
these
two
Princes
came
vnto
age
,
ther
was
a
great
contention
amongst
the
kings
&
mightie
Lords
,
subiects
vnto
the
Emperour
,
which
of
these
two
should
be
sworne
for
Prince
&
soueraigne
ruler
of
that
great
estate
&
empresse
,
after
the
death
of
the
emperour
,
for
that
in
those
countries
as
wel
the
daughter
as
the
Baron
,
if
she
be
first
borne
,
doth
succéede
in
the
kingdome
,
and
this
controuersie
was
not
onely
amongst
the
subiects
,
but
also
betwixt
the
Emperour
&
Empresse
,
for
that
the
Empresse
did
loue
least
the
Prince
Meridian
,
&
the
Emperor
did
affect
most
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
&
was
very
desirous
that
she
might
succéed
him
in
his
estate
,
&
in
the
meane
time
that
this
contention
endured
amongst
them
,
the
Emperour
commanded
to
call
together
all
the
wise
men
as
could
be
found
in
art
magicke
,
&
these
he
charged
that
they
should
giue
their
iudgement
,
&
prognosticate
vpon
the
succession
of
these
two
Princes
,
&
to
declare
which
of
them
would
best
reserue
his
diuine
linage
,
&
his
high
consecrated
estate
.
Now
all
these
wise
men
gaue
their
iudgement
,
&
in
the
end
of
many
daies
the
most
part
of
them
,
especially
the
wisest
,
did
ioyntlie
conclude
,
that
by
the
off-spring
of
the
Princesse
the
Tartarian
Princesse
shoule
be
exalted
,
and
the
linage
of
the
Emperour
should
be
by
hir
better
reserued
,
for
that
they
found
how
a
knight
in
a nother
Empire
in
Europe
should
marrie
with
hir
,
who
should
come
to
bée
the
most
highest
&
puisaunt
Prince
in
all
the
world
,
of
whome
should
succéede
very
famous
knights
.
Other
wise
men
ther
were
which
did
prognosticate
the
contrary
,
&
said
that
the
Princesse
would
be
the
occasion
that
that
high
&
mightie
estate
should
be
destroyed
&
ouerthrowen
,
&
that
hir
wedding
should
be
lamented
in
all
Asia
,
much
more
then
the
wedding
was
that
was
made
with
Helena
,
&
the
sonne
of
Priamus
.
When
the
Emperour
&
all
his
nobles
did
sée
the
great
controuersie
betwixt
the
wise
men
,
&
well
vnderstood
their
iudgements
&
prognostications
,
they
came
to
a
conclusion
betwixt
themselues
,
&
did
determine
that
the
Prince
Meridian
and
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
should
come
in
this
sort
as
you
haue
séene
into
this
great
Empire
of
Grecia
,
for
that
they
found
that
there
was
no
other
Empire
in
all
Europe
,
&
that
they
should
trauaile
through
all
the
kingdomes
&
prouinces
in
the
Empire
.
And
if
it
be
so
that
the
princesse
Lindabrides
did
finde
a
knight
that
could
ouercome
the
Prince
Meridian
in
battaile
,
that
he
should
enter
into
the
Chariot
&
sit
downe
in
the
Princesse
chaire
,
&
that
afterward
he
should
defend
hir
great
&
excellent
beautie
for
the
space
of
thrée
moneths
,
in
the
court
of
the
Emperour
,
&
if
in
the
meane
time
he
found
not
a
knght
that
could
ouercome
him
,
that
then
he
should
returne
with
the
Princesse
to
the
court
of
the
Emperour
Alicandro
,
and
ther
he
shall
be
married
vnto
hir
,
&
made
heire
of
that
great
Empire
.
And
if
it
be
so
that
the
Prince
Meridian
do
trauaile
through
all
these
kingdomes
&
Prouinces
,
&
finde
neuer
a
knight
that
can
ouercome
&
get
the
victorie
of
him
in
battell
,
that
then
he
should
remaine
for
prince
&
successour
of
all
the
great
estate
of
that
empire
,
&
the
like
preferment
should
be
giuen
vnto
him
,
whosoeuer
should
ouercome
him
that
ouercame
the
Princesse
.
And
this
we
holde
for
certainty
that
the
prince
Meridian
shall
remaine
with
the
Emperor
,
or
els
he
that
shall
succéed
him
,
shal
be
the
best
knight
that
is
to
be
found
in
all
the
world
.
And
in
this
sort
it
séemed
best
vnto
the
Emperour
&
all
his
nobles
to
appease
the
controuersie
,
and
the
best
way
that
the
truest
prognostication
should
come
to
effect
.
So
the
emperour
&
the
empresse
being
very
well
content
héere
with
,
commanded
that
this
chariot
of
triumph
to
be
made
,
with
the
maiestie
which
you
haue
séene
,
so
that
it
is
now
two
moneths
since
we
entred
into
the
Empire
of
Grecia
,
&
we
haue
passed
Dalmasia
&
Dardania
,
and
Missia
,
Thessalia
,
Macedonia
and
Archadia
,
and
other
Prouinces
,
in
the
which
the
Prince
hath
had
manye
battailes
.
And
as
yet
he
could
neuer
finde
knight
,
but
that
he
ouercame
him
,
&
had
the
victorie
with
great
ease
,
but
now
he
is
very
sad
and
heauie
,
as
one
that
hath
some
great
care
,
for
that
comming
vnto
the
court
of
the
King
of
Macedonia
,
after
he
had
ouercome
the
Prince
&
many
other
knights
he
was
striken
with
the
loue
of
the
Princesse
Florabindia
,
daughter
vnto
the
king
of
Macedonia
,
who
is
the
fairest
damsell
that
euer
I
saw
in
all
my
life
,
except
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
our
Lady
&
mistres
,
&
now
the
way
wée
take
is
towards
Constantinople
,
for
that
it
hath
bene
told
vs
that
ther
are
ioyned
together
the
most
highest
Princes
&
valiantest
knights
of
all
the
empire
.
Wheras
our
prince
Meridian
may
the
better
shew
his
great
bountie
,
for
that
according
as
he
is
of
might
&
power
,
I
doe
beléeue
the
Gréekes
shall
haue
inough
to
talk
of
him
all
the
daies
of
ther
liues
.
Now
héere
haue
I
told
vnto
you
gentle
knight
,
all
your
desire
,
therefore
I
commit
you
to
the
Gods
,
and
I
will
depart
,
the
Chariot
is
gone
a
great
way
before
,
therefore
pardon
mée
,
for
I
cannot
tarrie
any
longer
.
And
in
saying
these
wordes
this
damsell
departed
vppon
hir
Unicorne
,
and
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
remained
very
much
amazed
at
that
so
straunge
an
aduenture
,
and
was
very
glad
and
reioyced
within
himselfe
for
that
his
sicknesse
might
haue
some
remedie
,
although
he
thought
that
he
was
not
worthie
of
so
great
a
benefit
,
yet
he
had
heart
and
stomacke
to
giue
the
attempt
vnto
a
thing
of
greater
importaunce
,
and
did
little
estéeme
any
knight
in
the
whole
world
,
and
yet
hée
had
no
courage
to
conceiue
that
he
was
worthie
to
come
to
so
high
an
estate
,
and
so
hée
remained
amazed
a
good
while
,
and
by
reason
that
his
new
sicknesse
did
trouble
him
verie
much
,
he
lacked
vnderstanding
to
direct
him
in
what
hée
had
to
doe
,
till
within
a
while
after
he
came
vnto
himselfe
,
and
broched
his
Horse
with
his
spurres
,
hée
rode
forwards
and
saide
.
What
is
this
,
wherevpon
doe
I
stay
,
for
that
I
sée
it
is
impossible
for
mee
to
liue
,
if
I
left
to
comfort
my selfe
with
the
diuine
beautie
and
sight
of
the
Princesse
?
And
with
this
he
put
himselfe
before
the
chariot
with
great
good
will
to
speake
vnto
the
Prince
Meridian
,
and
as
hée
turned
his
horse
for
to
béeholde
that
faire
face
of
the
Princesse
,
his
tongue
fayled
him
,
and
as
one
voyde
of
reason
and
vnderstanding
hée
stood
still
with
his
horse
,
without
speaking
any
word
,
till
such
time
as
the
chariot
was
passed
by
and
gone
a
great
way
.
So
when
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
was
come
againe
vnto
his
remembrance
,
hee
béegan
to
bee
angry
with
himselfe
,
for
that
hée
séemed
to
bée
of
so
smal
a
courage
,
and
striking
his
horse
once
againe
with
the
spurs
,
hée
ouer
tooke
the
triumphant
Chariot
,
and
putting
himselfe
béefort
it
,
hée
commaunded
the
dwarfes
to
stay
the
Unicornes
,
and
comming
as
nigh
as
euer
hee
could
vnto
the
Prince
&
the
princesse
,
with
a
troubled
voyce
hée
sayd
these
words
.
The
diuine
Gods
bée
in
your
gard
and
kéeping
,
mightie
and
worthie
Prince
of
the
Scithians
,
by
one
of
your
Damsels
I
doo
vnderstand
the
manner
and
occasion
of
your
comming
hether
into
this
Countrie
béeing
so
far
from
yours
,
and
although
I
thinke
my selfe
vnworthie
of
so
high
a
recompence
as
is
granted
vnto
him
that
shall
ouercome
you
,
yet
mée
thinkes
by
all
reason
I
am
bound
to
answere
in
the
iustice
of
this
soueraigne
Princesse
Lyndabrides
,
for
that
according
vnto
hir
great
beautie
,
shée
deserueth
to
bée
Lady
and
Gouernesse
,
not
onely
of
the
Emperour
of
the
Scythians
,
but
of
all
the
whole
world
,
certainly
I
had
rather
serue
you
and
bee
at
your
commaundement
,
then
giue
occasion
of
your
discontentment
,
but
séeing
that
it
canot
be
done
by
any
other
menaes
,
I
desire
you
that
you
wold
take
it
in
good
part
,
that
in
consideration
thereof
wée
may
enter
in
the
battell
,
and
pardon
this
my
enterprise
,
for
that
surelie
it
doth
not
proceede
so
much
of
the
confidence
that
I
haue
of
mine
owne
power
and
strength
,
as
it
doth
by
the
dutie
I
owe
vnto
so
diuine
and
soueraigne
a
Princesse
.
In
the
meane
time
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
was
speaking
these
wordes
,
the
Prince
Meridian
dyd
very
much
béehold
him
,
and
it
séemed
that
hée
was
the
best
proportioned
knight
that
euer
hée
had
séene
,
although
hée
had
the
beauer
downe
,
and
receiuing
no
lesse
delight
at
his
words
,
then
at
his
gentle
disposition
,
with
a
great
and
seuere
countenance
,
hée
answered
him
,
saying
:
Sir
Knight
,
I
doe
gratifie
very
much
your
courteous
words
,
as
well
for
them
as
for
your
gentle
disposition
.
And
I
doo
certainely
beléeue
,
that
your
bountie
cannot
be
small
.
And
the
battaile
which
you
doo
demaund
of
mée
,
I
accept
for
that
I
come
for
no
other
thing
in
this
sort
and
manner
as
you
sée
.
And
in
saying
these
words
,
hée
arose
from
the
chaire
whereas
hée
sat
.
And
straight
way
two
of
these
Gyaunts
which
went
a
foote
,
entered
in
,
vnder
the
Chariot
,
&
brought
foorth
there
a
horse
,
the
most
fayrest
and
strongest
that
euer
was
séene
:
and
somewhat
disforming
from
other
horses
,
for
that
he
had
his
body
very
bigge
,
and
the
hinmost
halfe
was
all
as
blacke
as
any
Ieate
,
and
the
halfe
forwards
was
as
white
as
the
driuen
snow
,
his
head
was
very
little
,
and
in
the
midst
of
his
forehead
was
there
a
little
horne
like
vnto
an
Unicorne
:
and
in
his
legges
hée
had
foure
ioynts
,
for
which
cause
hée
was
very
light
,
and
did
runne
as
swift
and
quick
as
the
winde
,
and
as
yet
there
was
neuer
Horse
that
could
ouertake
him
,
and
some
saide
that
this
Horse
was
ingendered
of
a
mare
and
a
Unicorne
,
the
which
they
affirme
for
certainty
,
as
well
for
his
forme
and
making
,
as
for
that
they
haue
in
that
Countrie
of
Scythia
&
Tartaria
many
Unicornes
,
and
oftentimes
they
are
séene
in
the
fields
féeding
with
the
Mares
.
To
conclude
,
this
horse
as
well
in
his
strength
as
in
his
swiftnesse
was
the
best
Horse
that
euer
was
séene
,
and
was
called
Cornerino
,
by
reason
of
the
horne
that
hée
had
in
his
forehead
.
They
brought
him
foorth
all
couered
with
cloth
of
golde
,
and
with
a
bush
of
white
feathers
on
his
head
,
and
all
his
Saddle
was
enameled
,
and
brodered
about
with
Orientall
Pearles
,
the
styroppes
were
of
fine
golde
,
and
his
bridle
and
all
the
other
trappinges
were
of
fine
golde
and
silke
,
and
for
that
the
Horse
was
very
great
and
faire
,
and
his
furniture
so
rich
,
certainely
hée
séemed
to
bée
the
Horse
of
some
mightie
Prince
.
So
this
worthie
Prince
Meridian
did
mount
vpon
his
horse
,
and
it
was
a
thing
greatly
to
bée
mernailed
at
,
to
sée
him
on
horseback
with
that
strange
and
rich
armour
that
hée
brought
with
him
,
and
his
mighty
and
big
proportion
and
gentle
disposition
dyd
meruailously
béecome
him
,
and
this
worthie
Knight
of
the
Sunne
reioyced
very
much
to
sée
him
in
that
order
,
and
had
great
contentment
to
sée
him
.
But
if
this
Prince
Meridian
did
seeme
so
braue
on
horsebacke
,
what
shall
wée
say
of
that
gran
Alphoebo
,
in
whom
all
the
proportion
and
gentle
disposition
of
humane
was
comprehended
,
for
vnto
all
them
that
dyd
béehold
him
,
hée
caused
great
admiration
,
and
therewith
hée
béegan
to
mooue
his
Horse
and
to
tourne
him
in
the
fielde
,
and
the
Prince
Meridian
did
béehould
him
very
well
,
and
did
straight
way
conceiue
within
himselfe
,
that
it
should
bée
a
Knight
of
great
prowesse
,
for
that
beefore
hée
neuer
saw
a
Knight
better
set
and
well
made
,
and
hée
tooke
great
pleasure
to
béehould
him
.
Likewise
this
beautifull
and
soueraigne
Princesse
was
ouercome
by
that
sodayne
and
vnlooked
for
sight
,
for
in
lifting
vp
with
great
maiestie
hir
gray
and
Christaline
eyes
,
shée
saw
the
Knight
of
Sunne
and
his
goodly
proportion
and
gallaunt
demeanour
,
wherewith
hir
hart
did
so
alter
,
that
she
bare
him
better
good
will
,
and
had
him
in
more
estimation
then
any
other
knight
that
shée
had
séene
.
So
these
stout
and
valiaunt
Knights
did
put
themselues
in
a
readinesse
to
the
battaile
,
and
what
happened
therein
shall
bée
tolde
you
in
this
Chapter
following
.
Of
the
stout
and
well
foughten
battaile
betwixt
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
and
the
Prince
Meridian
,
and
of
all
that
happened
afterward
.
Chapter
.
22.
IT
was
so
straunge
as
worthie
to
béehelde
,
those
two
stout
and
valiaunt
warriours
,
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
and
the
Prince
Meridian
,
who
were
with
their
Speares
in
their
hands
one
against
another
,
with
so
furious
semblaunce
,
that
all
those
which
dyd
behold
them
were
amazed
,
and
seemed
by
their
furious
demeanour
that
the
battaile
betwixt
them
would
be
very
rigorous
and
well
foughten
,
therewith
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
did
cast
vp
his
eyes
vpon
the
faire
Princesse
Lyndabrides
,
and
when
hee
saw
that
faire
and
celestial
face
,
which
séemed
to
bee
an
Angell
of
heauen
,
straight
way
hée
felt
all
his
strength
and
force
to
fayle
him
,
and
that
hee
had
not
the
hart
that
he
was
wont
to
haue
,
neyther
the
courage
and
force
wherewith
hée
was
wont
to
enter
into
battayle
,
and
beeing
very
much
amazed
thereat
,
hée
lift
vp
his
eyes
vnto
heauen
and
sayd
.
Oh
immortall
Gods
,
at
whose
will
and
commaundement
all
things
are
roled
and
gouerned
,
doe
not
now
shew
your selues
contrarie
in
this
battaile
which
I
doo
determine
to
make
against
this
Knight
,
and
although
hée
dooe
descende
from
your
diuine
progeme
,
this
heauenlie
Princesse
Lindabrides
his
sister
doth
the
lyke
,
and
with
no
lesse
reason
then
hée
,
doth
deserue
to
bée
Lady
and
gouernesse
of
that
mighty
and
consecrated
estate
of
the
Emperour
Alicandro
hir
Father
.
And
if
it
bée
so
that
héerein
I
shall
not
haue
your
fauour
,
consent
that
I
may
haue
the
fauour
of
this
Princesse
,
which
if
I
doo
obtaine
,
I
will
not
feare
all
the
whole
world
if
it
bée
against
mée
.
And
when
hée
had
said
these
words
,
it
séemed
vnto
him
his
heart
dyd
reioyce
and
was
verie
much
comforted
.
So
straight
way
sixe
of
those
Dwarfes
which
rode
vpon
the
Unicornes
that
drew
the
Chariot
dyd
sound
their
Trumpets
,
the
which
did
make
a
verie
great
and
timerous
noyse
,
at
the
sound
whereof
these
stout
warriours
did
moue
themselues
the
one
against
the
other
,
&
the
great
swiftnesse
and
furie
of
that
Horse
Cornerino
was
such
,
that
it
seemed
hee
could
not
be
séene
in
his
swift
course
,
and
the
ground
vnder
him
,
but
although
the
horse
of
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
was
not
so
swift
as
hee
,
yet
the
great
hast
&
fury
which
his
master
vsed
made
him
run
with
so
great
swiftnes
,
that
almost
in
the
midst
of
the
course
they
did
meete
together
,
and
the
encounter
was
so
strong
,
that
their
mighty
speares
were
sheeuered
in
such
sort
that
the
splinters
slew
into
the
aire
,
and
these
stout
warriours
did
passe
the
one
by
the
other
,
and
neyther
of
them
were
mooued
in
their
saddles
,
&
yet
for
all
that
it
seemed
that
the
great
violence
and
force
of
their
horses
in
their
course
was
nothing
abated
,
but
with
great
lightnesse
they
turned
them
about
,
and
these
two
knights
gaue
the
assault
one
against
another
with
their
swords
,
and
béegan
to
strike
in
such
furious
sort
,
that
they
seemed
to
bée
all
on
fire
,
with
the
great
abundance
of
sparkles
which
slew
out
of
their
armour
,
and
throughout
all
the
field
was
heard
the
great
noise
of
their
terrible
blows
,
and
many
knights
which
trauayled
in
those
partes
came
vnto
that
place
to
sée
what
it
should
bee
,
and
beeholding
that
terrible
and
well
foughten
battaile
beetwixt
those
two
knights
,
did
stay
as
halfe
amazed
thereat
.
This
furious
battaile
beetwixt
them
did
endure
more
then
one
houre
,
and
there
was
no
aduantage
knowen
then
,
and
for
that
the
armour
of
the
Prince
Meridian
was
the
best
in
all
the
world
,
&
likewise
the
armour
of
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
of
no
lesse
strength
then
his
,
the
sharp
edges
of
their
cutting
Swords
had
not
so
much
force
as
to
enter
,
neither
to
vnbuckle
their
armour
,
although
they
did
execute
their
mightie
blowes
with
all
the
force
and
strength
possible
,
by
which
meanes
they
were
both
in
great
securitie
not
to
bee
wounded
,
notwithstanding
for
all
that
,
the
great
and
mightie
fury
wherewith
they
dyd
strike
one
another
,
dyd
make
them
many
times
to
stagger
and
bee
amazed
,
and
almost
beside
themselues
and
put
them
in
great
daunger
,
and
when
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
did
feele
the
great
courage
and
strength
of
the
Prince
Meridian
,
hee
did
coniecture
with
himselfe
that
the
Gods
were
all
on
his
side
,
so
that
it
was
●…ot
possible
to
ouercome
him
.
Likewise
the
Prince
Meridian
saide
vnto
himselfe
,
without
all
doubt
this
is
the
Gréeke
knight
which
the
Southsayers
and
wise
men
of
my
father
did
prognosticate
should
bée
married
vnto
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
my
sister
,
and
that
hée
should
descend
from
high
estate
,
for
it
séemed
him
that
if
all
the
force
of
these
knights
that
euer
he
had
battel
with
,
were
ioyned
together
,
it
was
not
so
much
as
that
which
hée
onely
in
this
one
knight
,
and
both
in
thought
and
fury
of
their
battaile
,
they
were
equall
.
As
this
faire
Princesse
Lindabrides
did
béehould
them
,
shée
lost
the
pleasant
and
faire
colour
of
hir
face
,
&
was
greatly
troubled
to
sée
hir
brother
brought
into
such
extremitie
,
for
that
shée
thought
there
was
not
any
Knight
in
all
the
world
that
might
compare
with
him
.
At
this
present
the
worthie
Prince
Meridian
did
strike
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
such
a
blow
with
both
his
hands
vpon
the
helme
,
that
hée
tooke
away
the
sight
of
his
eyes
,
and
the
raines
of
his
bridle
fell
out
of
his
hands
,
but
straight
way
this
gran
Alphoebo
gaue
him
his
payment
,
and
stroke
him
so
terrible
a
blow
vpon
his
hard
and
Diamond
Healme
,
that
it
made
no
lesse
noise
then
the
Thunder
doth
in
the
region
of
the
aire
,
when
it
Thundereth
downe
the
Thunderbolt
,
and
troubling
his
remembrance
hée
fell
forwards
vppon
his
Saddle
bow
,
without
other
moouing
,
and
his
Horse
Cornerino
carryed
him
round
about
the
fielde
without
any
remembraunce
.
This
worthie
Prince
reuiued
presently
,
and
séeing
himselfe
so
far
from
his
enimie
,
he
set
spurs
to
his
horse
with
great
fury
,
and
ran
against
him
,
and
when
hée
came
nigh
vnto
him
,
he
stroke
him
such
a
blow
vpon
the
healme
,
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
thought
verely
his
eyes
shold
haue
ben
burned
out
of
his
head
,
with
the
great
aboundaunce
of
sparkles
of
fire
that
flew
from
thence
,
but
the
Prince
Meridian
dyd
not
goe
without
his
payment
,
for
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
retourned
vpon
him
with
great
furie
,
so
that
the
one
laide
vpon
the
other
very
strongly
,
and
the
battayle
béetwixt
them
dyd
endure
more
then
two
houres
,
in
such
sort
that
the
Gyauntes
and
many
other
Knights
which
came
thether
at
the
noyse
of
the
battaile
,
greatly
meruayled
,
and
dyd
wonder
with
themselues
,
how
they
could
in
any
wyse
endure
so
much
trauaile
.
Lykewise
the
faire
Princesse
Lyndabrides
,
who
with
great
admiration
did
béehold
the
battaile
,
was
in
a
strange
confusion
in
hir selfe
,
and
could
not
imagine
what
that
knight
should
bée
that
was
so
strong
,
and
with
so
great
valour
and
prowesse
dyd
maintaine
the
battayle
against
hir
Brother
,
and
which
was
of
so
mightie
personage
,
and
of
so
good
proportion
.
In
this
sort
dyd
these
valyaunt
and
worthie
warriours
contended
full
two
houres
and
a
halfe
,
and
there
was
no
aduauntage
knowen
of
eyther
part
,
but
in
the
ende
the
wrath
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
did
so
increase
,
that
his
blowes
séemed
to
bée
of
more
strength
and
fury
then
at
the
béeginning
,
but
the
Prince
Meridian
did
con●…
alwayes
in
one
estate
,
and
his
force
was
at
all
times
equall
,
and
séeing
his
aduersary
so
strong
béefore
him
,
with
both
his
handes
hée
stroke
him
such
a
blow
vppon
the
shoulder
that
hée
made
him
stoupe
with
his
body
forwards
vpon
the
saddle
bow
.
The
Knight
of
the
Sunne
with
a
trise
did
raise
himselfe
vp
againe
,
and
setting
againe
in
his
saddle
,
hée
tooke
his
sword
in
both
his
hands
,
and
stroke
so
terrible
a
blow
at
the
Prince
vppon
his
hard
Healme
,
and
with
so
great
strength
,
that
if
hée
had
not
embraced
the
Horse
neck
,
hée
had
fallen
downe
to
the
ground
,
and
the
blow
was
so
heauie
vnto
him
,
that
hée
had
thought
a
whole
Tower
had
fallen
vpon
him
,
and
when
he
knew
and
felt
the
great
force
and
strength
of
his
enimie
,
hée
lift
vp
his
eyes
to
Heauen
and
sayde
.
Oh
soueraigne
Gods
,
saue
and
defend
mée
from
this
knight
,
for
that
according
to
his
great
force
and
might
,
and
the
inuinsible
power
that
hée
vseth
against
mée
,
I
●…aue
no
securitie
of
my
lyfe
vnder
this
hard
and
strong
●…rmour
.
And
in
saying
these
words
he
raised
himselfe
vp
in
his
saddle
,
and
stretched
himselfe
vpon
his
stirops
,
and
with
both
his
hands
he
stroke
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
such
a
terrible
blow
vpon
his
magicall
〈◊〉
that
hee
made
all
the
teeth
in
his
head
to
chatter
one
against
the
other
,
and
to
decline
his
head
downe
to
his
breast
,
who
considering
himselfe
againe
gratified
his
salutation
with
another
blow
,
so
furious
,
that
he
brought
him
out
of
all
remembraunce
,
and
his
horse
carried
him
throughout
all
the
field
as
though
hee
had
beene
dead
.
The
Knight
of
the
Sunne
at
that
time
did
stand
still
and
not
mooue
himselfe
,
but
abode
still
till
such
time
as
hée
should
recouer
.
The
Prince
as
soone
as
he
was
come
againe
vnto
himselfe
,
tooke
his
Swoord
in
both
his
handes
,
and
with
great
fury
made
towards
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
who
seeing
him
comming
towards
him
dyd
the
lyke
,
and
in
the
middest
of
their
course
they
met
together
,
and
raysing
themselues
both
together
vpon
their
stirrops
,
they
stroke
two
such
terrible
and
mightie
blowes
vpon
their
healmes
,
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
ouerthrew
the
Prince
Meridian
to
the
ground
so
bolde
of
féeling
that
he
moued
neither
hand
nor
foote
,
but
lay
as
one
that
had
beene
dead
.
Likewise
the
blow
which
the
Prince
gaue
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
was
with
so
great
force
and
strength
that
hée
made
him
bow
with
all
his
body
forwards
downe
to
his
horse
necke
,
and
also
hee
stroke
his
healme
from
his
head
.
Wherewith
he
remained
vnarmed
,
and
shewed
to
al
the
people
his
fal●…e
and
seuere
countenaunce
full
of
royall
maiestie
.
And
by
reason
that
hee
was
chafed
in
the
battaile
,
his
coulour
was
the
more
liuelie
and
amorous
,
and
in
such
sort
that
there
was
no
feminine
heart
of
so
great
force
,
that
could
make
any
resistaunce
against
that
terrible
and
sodaine
blow
of
naturall
beautie
.
So
that
when
the
Princesse
Lyndabrides
dyd
sée
him
,
neyther
the
maiestie
of
hir
high
estate
,
nor
th
valoure
of
his
couragious
heart
was
sufficient
to
resist
,
but
that
shée
must
néedes
bee
taken
prisoner
with
his
beautie
and
loue
,
in
such
sort
,
that
many
dayes
after
passed
beefore
they
could
finde
remedie
for
to
minister
a
salue
to
the
cruell
sore
of
Cupid
,
which
hir
hart
receiued
at
that
sodaine
and
vnlooked
for
ioy
.
Likewise
when
he
saw
hir
brother
lying
a
●…ng
vpon
the
ground
as
though
he
had
ben
dead
.
She
ther
lost
hir
fresh
&
liuelie
coulour
,
&
fell
in
a
sound
in
the
armes
of
hir
Ladies
&
gentlewomen
,
then
the
knight
of
the
Sun
alighted
from
his
horse
,
&
went
vnto
the
Prince
&
pulled
his
healme
from
his
head
,
and
saw
that
all
his
face
was
swollen
,
&
that
he
voided
much
blood
at
his
mouth
,
for
which
he
was
very
sorrowfull
,
for
he
thought
he
had
ben
dead
,
the
which
he
would
should
not
haue
happened
for
all
the
goods
in
the
world
,
for
that
his
sister
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
should
conceiue
no
displeasure
against
him
.
And
againe
,
hée
had
him
in
great
estimation
,
for
that
he
was
a
knight
of
such
valour
&
prowesse
,
but
he
was
quickely
cléered
of
that
sorrow
,
for
that
after
he
had
giuen
him
some
aire
,
he
straght
way
by
little
&
little
came
vnto
himselfe
.
So
when
he
was
wholie
in
his
perfect
remembrance
,
&
saw
himselfe
vnarmed
and
in
the
armes
of
his
aduersary
,
with
a
mightie
courage
he
embraced
patience
,
&
yéelded
himselfe
vnto
that
his
present
misfortune
in
béeing
so
ouercome
,
&
with
a
chéerefull
and
seuere
countenance
he
spake
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sun
and
said
.
Ualiaunt
and
worthie
knight
,
séeing
that
the
deuine
Gods
hath
permitted
me
by
you
to
bée
ouercome
,
and
that
I
haue
lost
the
victorie
,
I
doe
verily
béeléeue
that
it
is
a
thing
agreed
and
determined
in
their
diuine
counsell
,
that
you
must
be
successour
in
the
sacred
Empire
of
the
Tartarians
,
and
to
haue
to
wife
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
my
sister
,
for
according
vnto
your
great
valour
and
desert
,
you
are
that
Greeke
knight
of
whom
there
hath
beene
so
many
and
very
high
matters
prognosticated
by
the
wise
men
of
Tartaria
,
and
such
as
are
expert
in
art
magicke
.
And
for
that
you
haue
all
their
fauour
on
your
side
,
doe
not
delaie
,
●…ut
prosecute
your
good
fortune
,
and
goe
with
my
sister
vn●…o
the
Court
of
the
Emperoor
Trebatio
,
wherat
you
must
●…efend
and
maintaine
hir
beautie
for
the
space
of
two
moneths
,
and
this
time
being
finished
,
you
may
with
great
honour
accompany
my
sister
vnto
the
Empire
of
Tartaria
,
and
ther
at
your
comming
all
that
hath
béene
promised
shall
bée
performed
without
diminishing
any
parcell
thereof
.
For
with
a
knight
of
great
worthinesse
both
in
courage
&
curtesie
,
the
Emperour
my
father
&
all
his
subiects
will
be
very
well
content
.
When
the
Prince
had
made
an
end
of
saying
these
words
,
the
knight
of
the
Sun
did
aunswere
thus
.
Oh
high
and
soueraigne
Prince
,
the
great
furie
of
your
blowes
,
&
the
perill
&
daunger
wherin
I
found
my selfe
in
this
our
battaile
,
hath
shewed
&
fully
certified
me
of
your
great
force
&
strength
,
&
how
that
the
deuine
Gods
haue
ben
fauourable
vnto
me
,
in
defending
&
keeping
me
from
the
furie
and
force
of
your
mightie
arme
.
And
as
touching
these
words
which
you
haue
said
vnto
me
,
yuor
princelie
&
seuere
countenance
doe
fuilie
assure
me
that
your
bountie
is
much
more
then
any
other
humane
creatures
,
&
that
your
great
vertue
cannot
but
proceede
from
the
high
progenie
of
the
heauens
.
And
as
touching
this
curtesie
which
you
doe
promise
me
,
I
doe
thinke
my selfe
vnworthie
to
receiue
it
,
béeing
the
greatest
honour
that
anie
humane
hart
can
haue
.
And
heere
I
doe
request
your
highnesse
that
you
would
returne
&
sit
downe
againe
in
your
seat
,
&
prosecute
your
begun
iourney
,
&
I
promise
you
that
heereafter
I
will
neuer
demaund
any
right
or
title
that
I
haue
in
this
aduenture
And
againe
,
for
that
this
soueraigne
Princesse
Lindabride
shall
not
loose
the
right
of
hir
victorie
,
let
it
be
deuided
in
this
manner
:
betwixt
you
&
hir
part
that
high
&
mightie
estat●…
of
the
Emperour
Alicandro
,
for
seeing
hee
is
Lord
ouer
s●…
many
lands
,
there
will
be
sufficient
for
both
of
you
.
Then
the
Prince
Meridiaan
who
was
endued
with
a●…
vertue
and
courtesie
,
embracing
the
Knight
of
the
Sunn●…
said
.
Worthie
Knight
,
your
great
bountie
doeth
deser●…
all
that
is
giuen
vnto
you
,
and
much
more
.
And
there
no
reason
(
although
you
doe
excuse
you
selfe
)
but
that
you
should
inioy
that
which
you
haue
got
by
your
great
noble
promesse
.
And
of
all
the
good
fortune
that
doth
happen
vnto
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
my
sister
,
I
doe
make
reckoning
to
haue
my
part
.
And
I
doe
receiue
as
much
delight
that
shee
doth
succeede
in
the
empire
of
Tartaria
,
as
though
I
did
succeede
therin
my selfe
,
and
especially
for
that
you
shall
be
hir
husband
,
by
whom
it
hath
bene
prognosticated
,
in
our
estate
shall
be
increased
all
goodnesse
&
honor
.
And
in
concluding
these
words
,
the
prince
Meridian
dyd
take
the
knight
of
the
Sun
by
the
hand
,
&
did
carrie
him
vnto
the
faire
Lindabrides
,
who
as
soone
as
they
came
before
hir
,
arose
from
hir
chaire
,
&
did
make
vnto
them
great
reuerence
,
&
they
likewise
did
vnto
hir
their
obedience
,
&
then
the
Prince
Meridian
laid
.
Lady
&
sister
,
receiue
vnto
you
this
knight
that
héere
commeth
vnto
me
,
for
this
is
he
whom
the
diuine
Gods
haue
promised
&
ordained
for
you
,
&
he
that
aboue
all
knights
in
the
world
doth
deserue
to
bee
Lord
ouer
the
great
Empire
of
Tartaria
:
before
the
Prince
Meridian
&
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
came
vnto
the
princes
Lindabrides
,
she
was
wounded
with
his
loue
,
&
those
wordes
which
were
spoken
vnto
hir
,
did
open
the
wound
more
,
yet
for
all
that
in
hir
behauiour
she
made
on
outward
shew
therof
,
but
with
great
grauity
&
sobrietie
,
she
answered
them
and
said
.
My
Lord
and
brother
,
I
do
giue
to
the
Gods
great
thanks
,
for
that
you
haue
escaped
from
the
furie
of
the
battaile
past
being
so
cruell
&
rigorous
,
I
would
not
see
you
againe
in
it
for
all
the
empire
of
the
mighty
Emperour
our
Father
,
no
,
although
I
should
possesse
the
whole
world
it
would
profit
me
little
,
when
that
it
should
returne
vnto
your
damage
:
and
this
knight
I
receiue
(
not
for
that
the
gods
hath
promi●…ed
him
vnto
me
)
but
for
that
he
is
giuen
me
by
you
,
&
heere
●…
certifie
you
,
that
ther
is
not
in
me
so
much
discurtesie
as
to
●…efuse
him
.
When
the
Princesse
had
made
an
end
of
saying
●…hese
words
,
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
receiued
so
great
ioy
,
that
he
knew
not
whether
it
was
in
heauen
or
earth
,
but
kneeling
downe
before
the
Princesse
,
he
asked
hir
hands
to
kisse
them
,
which
she
would
not
consent
vnto
,
but
toke
him
by
the
hands
&
caused
him
to
arise
,
&
after
that
ther
had
passed
betwixt
them
many
words
of
great
curtesie
&
loue
,
they
all
three
together
entred
into
the
chariot
vnder
that
rich
tent
,
&
in
a
very
faire
&
rich
quadran
,
they
sate
downe
,
whereas
they
were
serued
with
many
precious
conserues
&
other
delicates
,
with
the
which
they
did
comfort
themselues
for
the
great
trauaile
which
they
had
passed
,
&
the
excéeding
pleasure
which
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
did
receiue
in
beholding
one
another
,
to
see
themselues
together
,
was
such
,
as
they
seemed
to
bée
transported
into
another
world
.
Now
when
the
banket
was
ended
,
the
Prince
Meridian
&
the
knight
of
the
sun
walked
vp
&
downe
in
that
quadran
&
the
Prince
desired
the
knight
of
the
Sun
to
tell
him
who
he
was
,
and
of
what
country
.
And
there
he
did
declare
vnto
him
how
he
was
called
,
&
as
much
as
he
knew
beside
of
himselfe
.
At
which
the
Prince
meruailed
,
thinking
within
himselfe
that
this
knight
should
be
borne
by
great
mistery
,
and
that
he
was
sonne
vnto
some
of
his
Gods
,
for
that
so
straunge
&
meruailous
beautie
,
with
that
soueraigne
and
mightie
force
could
not
be
comprehended
in
any
so
amplie
,
except
he
were
some
diuine
creature
.
After
that
they
had
largely
talked
together
of
all
his
estate
,
the
Prince
Meridian
discouered
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
the
entire
loue
which
he
bare
vnto
the
Princesse
Floralidia
,
daughter
vnto
the
mightie
king
of
Macedonia
.
And
more
,
he
told
him
that
he
was
determined
to
returne
vnto
the
court
of
the
king
of
Macedonia
,
&
to
remaine
ther
certaine
daies
vnknowen
:
&
the
better
to
accomplish
the
same
,
he
desired
him
to
let
him
haue
his
armour
&
Horse
,
&
he
would
leaue
him
his
,
with
the
which
hée
might
likewise
goe
vnto
the
court
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
&
be
ther
in
those
triumphs
vnknowen
fo●…
the
space
of
two
months
,
which
he
must
accomplish
in
defending
the
beautie
of
the
princesse
Lindabrides
my
sister
.
And
before
that
time
were
accomplished
,
if
it
pleased
God
to
send
him
health
he
would
come
thether
,
&
that
all
thrée
together
they
would
returne
vnto
the
gran
Tartaria
.
Then
the
knight
of
the
Sun
agreed
that
all
should
be
done
as
he
had
deuised
,
saying
that
any
thing
which
vnto
him
séemed
good
should
please
him
,
&
that
he
should
receiue
great
delight
therby
.
With
this
determination
they
passed
away
all
the
rest
of
the
day
that
remained
,
vntill
it
was
time
to
goe
to
supper
.
And
ther
within
the
Chariot
they
supped
all
thrée
together
with
so
great
maiestie
,
as
though
they
had
ben
in
the
court
of
the
Emperour
Alicandro
.
¶
How
the
Prince
Meridian
did
leaue
the
Chariot
of
the
princes
Lindabrides
his
sister
,
and
how
he
went
with
the
armour
and
horse
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
vnto
the
Court
of
the
King
of
Macedonia
.
Chapter
.
23.
WHen
the
night
was
come
the
prince
Meridian
,
talked
with
his
sister
,
&
told
hir
that
he
was
determined
to
goe
vnto
the
court
of
the
king
of
Macedonia
in
secret
wise
,
&
not
to
be
knowen
,
&
the
better
for
to
accomplish
the
same
,
hée
would
arme
himself
with
the
armour
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
promised
her
that
before
the
two
moneths
were
finished
,
that
he
would
méet
hir
againe
at
Constantinople
,
&
then
all
they
thrée
would
returne
vnto
the
gran
Tartaria
.
And
although
the
princesse
did
shew
hir selfe
to
bee
very
sorrowfull
for
the
same
,
yet
in
the
end
she
yéelded
vnto
all
that
he
pleased
to
command
.
So
straight
way
he
armed
himselfe
with
the
armour
of
the
knight
of
the
sun
,
which
did
fit
him
very
well
,
for
that
they
were
almost
both
of
one
stature
.
Likewise
he
toke
vnto
him
his
sword
&
his
horse
,
&
toke
his
leaue
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
&
of
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
his
sister
,
and
with
onely
two
Pages
he
entered
the
way
which
lead
him
vnto
the
citie
of
Macedonia
,
&
for
that
it
was
then
time
to
rest
,
this
fatre
Princesse
did
take
hir
leaue
of
the
knight
of
the
sun
,
&
being
accompanied
with
all
hir
Damsels
,
she
entred
into
a
closet
which
was
appointed
for
hir selfe
,
in
which
she
lay
,
and
the
Damsells
that
had
the
crownes
of
gold
vpon
their
heads
,
which
were
all
Quéenes
and
great
gentlewomen
,
&
all
the
other
damsells
did
lye
in
another
chamber
nigh●…adioyning
vnto
that
of
the
Princesse
.
And
all
those
giants
had
the
gard
&
keeping
of
them
in
this
order
following
.
Sixe
of
them
without
round
about
the
chariot
,
&
other
sixe
within
at
the
chamber
dore
of
the
Princesse
&
all
hir
Damsells
,
&
the
other
twelue
giants
did
sl●…pe
till
it
was
midnight
,
at
which
time
they
did
arise
&
then
the
other
twelue
slept
till
it
was
morning
,
so
that
they
did
watch
equallie
&
in
order
.
Likewise
at
that
present
they
caried
the
knight
of
the
Sun
vnto
the
prince
Meridians
chamber
,
which
was
a
good
way
from
the
chamber
of
the
Princesse
,
wher
he
was
serued
with
two
damsells
,
till
such
time
as
he
was
vnready
&
laid
into
a
verie
rich
bed
,
wheras
he
passed
all
that
night
with
so
profound
thoughts
,
that
hée
could
not
sleepe
one
whit
,
for
that
ther
was
represented
in
his
hart
that
Angelicall
force
of
the
faire
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
which
made
him
as
one
astonied
&
amazed
,
with
contemplating
therein
,
many
times
he
did
talk
vnto
himselfe
,
&
did
arise
out
of
his
bed
,
imagining
whether
it
should
be
a
dreame
or
some
other
fantasie
which
had
entred
into
his
thought
,
and
he
had
such
great
desire
to
haue
the
day
come
,
that
he
might
returne
&
comfort
himselfe
with
the
Angelicall
vision
,
that
he
thought
euery
houre
to
be
a
whole
night
.
But
it
was
not
the
knight
of
the
Sun
alone
that
was
troubled
in
thought
,
but
also
the
princesse
Lindabrides
tumbled
&
tossed
in
hir
bed
,
as
one
to
whom
such
amorous
thoughts
&
passions
was
very
rare
,
for
she
had
hir
hart
out
of
quiet
,
&
could
not
sléepe
one
houre
in
all
the
night
,
but
alwaies
had
in
hir
remembrance
hir
new
gest
which
was
lodged
in
hir
Chariot
,
&
his
straunge
&
meruailous
countenance
was
so
printed
in
hir
mind
,
that
she
did
verilie
beléeue
the
Gods
had
sent
him
vnto
hir
as
a
thing
of
their
owne
choice
,
for
that
he
was
in
all
points
agréeable
vnto
his
valour
&
strength
.
In
this
sort
did
the
one
&
the
other
passe
away
that
night
,
till
the
next
day
was
come
,
&
then
they
did
as
shall
be
told
you
in
this
next
Chapter
following
.
How
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
and
the
princesse
Lindabrides
trauailed
towards
Constantinople
,
&
sent
messengers
to
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
to
giue
him
to
vnderstand
of
their
comming
.
Chap.
24.
WHen
the
next
day
was
come
,
the
knight
of
the
Sun
did
arise
from
his
bed
,
&
his
Pages
did
help
to
arme
himselfe
with
that
gallant
and
strong
armour
of
the
prince
Meridian
,
&
likewise
did
gird
about
him
his
rich
sword
,
and
when
he
was
armed
,
it
was
straunge
to
bée
séene
how
well
it
did
become
him
.
And
when
he
vnderstoode
that
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
was
vp
&
ready
,
and
that
she
would
come
forth
,
he
went
towardes
hir
chamber
doore
,
but
when
he
should
come
before
hir
presence
,
his
flesh
trembled
,
as
though
a
whole
armie
of
knights
would
assalt
him
.
And
when
he
was
entered
into
hir
chamber
,
he
found
the
faire
Princesse
accompanied
with
hir
damsells
&
ready
to
come
forth
,
&
shewing
vnto
him
great
curtesie
(
whom
the
Princesse
was
not
a
little
ioyfull
to
see
)
she
spake
vnto
him
&
said
.
Sir
Knight
,
how
hath
it
ben
with
you
all
this
night
in
your
new
lodging
.
Uery
well
faire
Ladie
,
answered
he
,
&
I
could
well
haue
slept
in
that
rich
&
soft
bed
which
I
had
,
if
other
occasions
had
not
troubled
my
mind
&
caused
me
to
watch
:
then
according
vnto
your
saying
sayd
the
princesse
,
you
haue
not
slept
well
.
No
forsooth
Lady
,
sayde
the
Knight
,
for
that
cares
be
enemies
to
rest
&
sléepe
,
&
doe
bannish
away
all
ease
,
&
especially
when
they
be
new
conceiued
.
The
Princesse
did
very
well
vnderstand
to
what
intent
their
words
were
spoken
,
and
it
did
nothing
grieue
hir
to
heare
them
rehearsed
,
yet
because
she
would
not
make
any
outward
shew
that
she
vnderstoode
them
,
she
saide
.
Unto
all
sorts
of
men
it
is
naturall
to
be
carefull
,
&
ther
is
none
that
can
liue
with
so
great
felicitie
in
this
life
,
but
at
one
time
or
other
he
shall
be
troubled
with
carrs
,
therfore
let
vs
goe
vnto
our
seates
and
commaund
that
the
chariot
may
goe
forwards
on
our
iourney
,
for
that
it
is
time
.
And
in
saying
these
words
she
went
forth
of
hir
chamber
,
and
the
knight
of
the
Sun
did
take
hir
,
by
the
hand
,
&
they
went
together
till
such
time
as
they
came
vnto
their
seates
,
wheras
they
sate
downe
vnder
the
arks
of
that
triumphant
chariot
,
&
straight
waies
the
Damsells
mounted
on
their
Unicornes
,
&
the
gyants
did
put
themselues
in
order
,
in
the
same
maner
as
when
the
knight
of
the
Sun
did
see
them
the
day
before
,
&
straight
way
they
began
to
take
their
way
towards
Constantinople
.
So
when
this
Alphoebo
did
sée
himselfe
set
downe
by
that
precious
&
faire
Princesse
,
he
was
as
one
in
an
extasie
with
the
great
ioy
&
pleasure
that
he
receiued
,
&
it
séemed
vnto
him
that
his
ioy
was
equall
to
the
celestiall
glorie
which
the
faithfull
inioy
after
their
departure
out
of
this
world
.
And
this
faire
Princesse
did
as
greatlie
reioyce
to
haue
by
hir
him
whom
she
loued
with
all
hir
heart
,
but
hir
great
maiestie
that
she
shewed
in
outward
appearance
was
such
,
that
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
durst
not
be
so
bold
as
to
make
manifest
vnto
hir
his
loue
,
but
rather
had
hir
in
estimation
,
as
though
there
had
ben
present
Iuno
,
his
principall
Goddesse
.
In
this
order
they
trauailed
certaine
dayes
,
till
such
time
as
they
came
within
one
daies
iourney
of
Constantinople
,
and
then
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
said
vnto
the
Princesse
,
that
it
should
bée
good
to
send
some
messengers
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
to
giue
him
vnderstanding
of
their
comming
,
for
that
hée
was
a
Prince
that
would
very
much
reioyce
and
haue
great
pleasure
therein
.
Which
thing
séemed
good
vnto
the
Princesse
,
and
she
called
straight
way
beefore
hir
foure
of
those
Gyaunts
which
were
on
Horsebacke
,
who
were
Kings
,
and
had
crownes
of
siluer
vpon
their
heads
,
and
dyd
informe
them
what
they
should
say
,
and
sent
them
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
.
So
these
foure
kings
went
vnto
Constantinople
,
and
they
entered
into
the
great
Court
at
such
time
as
it
was
full
of
diuerse
armed
knights
,
for
to
celebrate
the
Feastes
and
triumphes
which
were
there
ordained
.
And
at
such
time
as
the
Emperour
Trebatio
and
the
Empresse
Briana
were
at
the
windowes
of
the
pallace
,
beholding
the
great
feasts
and
Iourneyes
which
were
there
made
.
And
when
these
foure
Gyants
did
enter
into
the
great
Court
,
all
people
dyd
very
well
beehould
them
,
and
made
them
way
that
they
might
passe
whether
they
would
.
So
they
demaunded
for
the
Emperour
,
who
beeing
certified
what
they
were
,
they
went
vnto
the
Pallace
gate
and
did
alight
from
their
Horsses
,
and
went
vp
whereas
the
Emperour
was
,
and
much
people
followed
them
to
know
wherefore
their
comming
was
,
béeing
so
sodaine
.
And
when
they
came
beefore
the
Emperour
,
one
of
the
Gyants
saide
these
words
following
.
Most
high
and
mightie
Emperour
,
you
shall
vnderstand
that
in
the
Orientall
regions
of
Scythia
the
diuine
Gods
dyd
create
a
Damsell
,
who
is
endued
with
so
great
grace
and
beautie
,
that
shée
is
had
in
no
lesse
estimation
then
a
celestiall
creature
,
who
is
daughter
vnto
the
mightie
Emperour
of
the
Tartarians
,
King
of
kings
,
and
Lord
ouer
all
the
Lords
in
the
Orient
.
This
Damsell
is
called
Lyndabrides
,
and
shée
hath
a
brother
called
Meridian
,
of
so
great
bountie
and
strength
,
that
it
is
to
bée
béeléeued
in
all
the
whole
world
his
equall
is
not
to
be
found
,
and
by
reason
that
both
these
Princes
were
borne
together
at
one
birth
,
there
hath
growen
a
great
controuersie
as
well
béetwixt
the
Emperour
Alicandro
and
the
Empresse
,
as
amongst
all
his
subiects
,
which
of
these
two
should
bée
sworne
for
Prince
&
successor
of
all
those
kingdomes
.
And
in
the
ende
of
many
and
diuerse
iudgements
of
prognostications
and
deuination
,
it
was
concluded
that
these
two
Princes
should
come
into
this
thy
Empire
of
Grecia
,
in
such
triumphaunt
manner
as
you
shall
quickly
sée
,
in
such
sort
,
that
if
there
be
any
knight
,
that
in
part
and
defence
of
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
did
enter
into
battaile
with
the
Prince
Meridian
,
and
ouercome
him
,
that
the
same
knight
should
possesse
the
place
of
the
Prince
,
and
for
the
space
of
two
months
defend
and
maintaine
the
beautie
of
this
Princesse
in
thy
Court.
And
if
it
so
fall
out
hée
bée
not
ouercome
by
any
nother
knight
,
that
than
hee
shall
haue
for
spouse
the
faire
Princesse
Lyndabrides
,
and
shall
bée
successour
with
hir
in
the
great
Empire
of
Tartaria
,
and
hee
that
shall
ouercome
the
other
,
and
make
hir
defence
for
the
space
of
two
months
,
shal
haue
the
like
.
And
to
the
contrary
,
if
the
Prince
Meridian
,
after
that
hée
hath
trauailed
throughout
all
the
kingdomes
and
prouinces
of
thy
Empire
,
&
is
not
ouercome
but
doth
maintaine
still
the
victorie
,
that
then
hée
should
bée
sworne
for
Prince
and
euerlasting
successour
of
the
whole
Empire
.
So
that
in
this
sort
and
for
this
occasion
they
came
vnto
your
Empire
.
And
after
that
the
Prince
Meridian
had
trauayled
through
some
kingdomes
and
ouercome
many
Princes
and
knighis
,
the
diuine
gods
did
permit
them
at
length
to
meete
with
a
knight
of
so
much
bountie
and
force
,
that
entering
into
battaile
with
the
Prince
hee
got
the
victorie
,
and
dyd
ouerthrow
him
from
his
horse
to
the
ground
with
one
blow
with
his
sword
that
hée
gaue
him
:
and
that
béeing
done
,
hée
entered
into
his
place
,
and
béeing
readie
with
the
Princesse
to
come
hether
to
this
thy
court
,
they
first
determined
to
send
vs
hether
vnto
you
,
from
them
wée
should
desire
to
kisse
your
Emperiall
hands
,
and
to
request
you
that
you
would
accept
and
receiue
their
comming
in
good
part
,
for
that
their
intension
is
for
no
other
thing
but
to
serue
you
.
This
is
onely
our
comming
hether
,
therefore
your
pleasure
may
bée
to
consider
héereof
,
and
to
giue
vs
our
aunswere
.
The
Emperour
and
the
Empresse
,
and
all
those
which
heard
what
the
Gyants
had
sayd
,
very
much
meruailed
at
so
straunge
an
aduenture
,
and
the
Emperour
did
not
let
to
thinck
within
himselfe
,
that
possiblie
the
knight
which
dyd
ouercome
the
Prince
Meridian
should
bée
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
his
great
friend
,
for
whom
hée
looked
euery
day
,
and
did
very
much
meruaile
at
his
long
tarrying
,
whom
hée
loued
with
no
lesse
good
wil
then
if
hée
had
knowen
him
to
bée
his
sonne
,
and
was
very
desirous
to
know
of
the
Gyaunts
what
signes
&
tokens
hée
had
,
and
the
deuise
vpon
his
sheeld
and
armour
,
but
hée
could
not
learne
of
them
by
any
means
,
for
that
they
were
willed
beefore
that
they
should
not
tell
him
.
For
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
was
determined
to
enter
into
the
Court
vnknowen
and
dyd
call
himselfe
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
.
Then
the
Emperour
arose
vp
from
the
place
whereas
hée
sat
,
for
to
giue
answere
vnto
the
Gyaunts
of
their
Embassage
,
and
sayd
.
Friends
,
you
may
declare
vnto
your
Lady
the
Princesse
Lyndabrides
,
and
vnto
the
knight
that
doth
come
with

,
that
the
Princesse
and
I
receiue
great
pleasure
for
their
comming
into
this
Countrie
,
and
wee
shal
deeme

small
courtesie
,
that

court
at

is
,
and
I
promise

héere
shall
bee
done

them
all
the
seruice
wee

will
not
bée
sufficient
for

high
and
mighty
a
Lady
.
And
héere
with
the
Giants
tooke
their
leaue
of
the
Emperour
and
the
Empresse
,
and
retourned
vnto
the
Princesse

of
the
Emperour

following
,
that
which
shall
bée
tould
you
in
the
next
Chapter
.
Of
the
entering
of
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
and
the
faire
Princesse
Lyndabrides
into
Constantinople
.
Chapter
25.
YOu
remember
the
great
feasts
&
triumphs
which
the
Emperour
Trebatio
commanded
to
bée
published
,
not
onely
in
the
Grecian
Empire
,
but
also
in
other
kingdomes
,
lands
,
and
Prouinces
,
adioyning
there
vnto
,
and
of
the
safe
conduct
that
he
gaue
vnto
al
knights
as
wel
Pagans
as
Christians
,
that
wold
come
vnto
him
.
Now
the
Historie
saith
,
that
when
the
time
drew
nigh
that
these
feasts
,
and
triumphs
shuld
bée
celebrated
,
ther
were
so
many
knights
gathered
together
as
wel
strangers
as
naturals
,
that
they
could
not
bée
all
reciued
into
the
great
citie
,
but
that
the
Emperour
was
constrained
to
commaund
to
arme
a
great
number
of
Tents
in
the
fielde
,
wherein
were
lodged
verie
many
Knights
,
and
neuer
in
Grecia
vntill
that
day
was
séene
so
great
&
gallant
a
number
of
knights
together
,
for
that
the
most
part
of
all
them
that
came
vnto
those
feasts
,
were
knights
of
estimation
,
and
armed
very
richle
,
and
the
mightie
Emperour
héereat
receiued
great
delight
,
and
dyd
shew
vnto
them
great
liberalitie
,
in
such
ample
sort
,
that
they
all
greatly
meruailed
and
said
,
that
hée
was
the
mightiest
Prince
in
the
whole
earth
.
So
these
feasts
béeing
béegun
,
ther
was
one
day
in
the
great
place
of
Constantinople
meruaylous
iustings
and
full
of
armed
Knights
,
and
all
the
windowes
and
galleries
were
replenished
with
people
.
And
those
which
that
day
dyd
best
béehaue
themselues
,
was
Artidoro
Prince
of
Candia
,
and
Alpino
Lord
of
Scicilia
,
and
Dardante
Prince
of
Dalmatia
,
but
they
which
more
then
all
these
dyd
shew
themselues
gallant
and
stout
,
were
Rodomarte
Prince
of
Sardenna
,
and
Rodafeo
,
Lord
of
the
Iland
of
the
Rhodes
,
who
had
ouerthrowen
so
manie
Knightes
that
day
,
that
all
people
did
thinck
verily
they
would
carrie
away
the
price
of
the
iust
,
thée
which
was
very
rich
,
which
the
Emperour
dyd
ordayne
and
apoint
for
them
,
who
most
worthiest
and
stoutest
dyd
béeha●…e
themselues
in
those
triumphes
.
The
mightie
Emperour
Trebatio
&
the
Princesse
Briana
was
at
a
window
of
their
great
Pallace
,
béeholding
those
iustes
with
very
great
ioye
and
contentment
,
to
sée
such
a
number
of
glistring
Knights
as
were
in
that
great
place
,
and
at
such
time
as
they
were
in
the
chiefest
of
the
iustes
and
most
hottest
,
with
all
their
force
and
vigor
,
vpon
one
side
of
the
place
there
beganne
amongst
the
people
a
great
●…umult
or
wondering
,
&
straight
way
they
heard
a
noyse
and
sound
of
Trumpets
,
with
so
great
violence
and
force
,
that
it
made
houses
to
tremble
,
in
such
sort
that
one
could
not
heare
another
what
was
spoken
.
So
after
that
the
Trumpets
had
left
sounding
,
they
heard
Musicke
of
sundrie
Instruments
,
whose
melodie
was
so
Heauenly
and
sweet
,
that
all
those
which
heard
it
thought
they
had
béene
rauished
in
their
sences
,
and
the
noise
of
that
Musicke
was
so
loude
,
that
it
might
bée
heard
throughout
all
the
whole
place
.
At
which
sodaine
and
swéet
noyse
all
the
people
tourned
theyr
eyes
that
way
,
whereas
they
saw
entering
into
the
great
place
a
number
of
Damsells
,
mounted
vpon
Unicornes
,
meruailous
richly
apparailed
,
so
that
euerie
one
of
them
séemed
to
bée
a
Quéene
,
and
they
entered
in
order
,
in
two
rankes
,
and
each
of
them
had
in
theyr
handes
an
Instrument
,
wherewith
they
made
that
swéet
and
concordant
Musicke
.
Straight
after
them
they
saw
comming
in
the
triumphaunt
Chariot
the
fayre
Princesse
Lyndabrides
with
hir
Damsells
,
and
the
twelue
Gyaunts
beefore
them
,
who
came
with
so
great
a
maiestie
and
soueraigntie
,
that
it
put
straunge
admiration
in
all
them
that
did
beehold
it
,
and
this
faire
Princesse
and
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
were
set
in
their
Chaires
,
vnder
those
triumphant
●…rkes
,
and
at
theyr
féet
sat
the
sixe
Quéenes
with
crowens
of
golde
vpon
their
heads
,
but
when
the
soueraigne
&
fayre
princesse
was
well
séene
&
noted
of
all
,
it
séemed
wonderfull
vnto
them
.
Likewise
they
saw
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
armed
with
that
fayre
and
rich
armour
of
the
Prince
Me●…idian
,
and
his
helme
vpon
his
head
,
because
hée
would
not
be
knowen
of
the
Emperour
,
hée
put
them
in
great
admirati●…n
.
In
this
sort
dyd
this
triumphant
Chariot
passe
through
the
great
place
,
till
such
time
as
they
came
vnder
the
windowes
wheras
the
Emperour
and
the
Empresse
were
,
where
the
Dwarfes
did
stay
the
Vnicornes
that
did
draw
the
chariot
,
and
being
right
ouer
against
one
another
,
by
reason
that
the
chariot
was
very
high
,
and
the
window
wherin
the
Emperour
stood
was
very
low
.
The
faire
Princesse
and
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
did
arise
vp
from
their
seates
,
and
made
reuerence
vnto
the
Emperour
and
the
Empresse
,
who
with
no
lesse
curtesie
did
receiue
them
,
shewing
great
pleasure
and
delight
for
their
comming
.
And
returning
all
foure
,
they
sat
themselues
downe
againe
into
their
places
,
wher
there
passed
bé
et
wixt
them
many
words
of
conference
,
wherein
was
vsed
great
reuerence
and
c●…rtesie
:
and
héerewith
they
departed
and
passed
forwards
,
and
the
triumphant
Chariot
was
put
on
the
side
of
that
great
court
,
wheras
all
the
Damseuls
did
alight
from
their
Vnicornes
,
and
went
vnto
the
chariot
,
and
the
Gyants
did
put
the
Vnicornes
in
the
nether
part
of
the
chariot
,
and
likewise
their
horses
,
them
all
the
foure
&
twenty
Gyants
placed
themselues
round
about
the
chariot
,
to
gard
and
kéepe
the
same
,
&
put
all
the
people
in
feare
at
their
furious
countenaunces
,
and
straight
way
one
of
them
tooke
a
Letter
of
parchment
which
had
the
seales
of
the
Emperour
Alicandro
,
and
read
it
out
aloud
,
that
all
people
might
well
heare
it
,
&
did
declare
the
forme
of
all
that
aduenture
,
and
the
great
promise
and
preferment
which
the
Emperour
had
graunted
vnto
him
that
did
defend
the
beautie
of
the
Princesse
Lyndabrides
,
for
the
space
of
two
moneths
in
the
court
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
.
When
hée
had
made
an
ende
of
reading
thereof
,
and
that
this
aduen●…ur
was
well
vnderstood
,
many
of
those
most
estéemed
Knights
were
very
ioyfull
and
tooke
great
pleasure
therein
,
euery
one
thinking
in
himselfe
to
haue
his
part
therein
,
and
thought
long
till
such
time
as
they
might
proue
themselues
with
the
knight
of
the
chariot
,
who
tarried
not
long
,
but
did
giue
them
●…ul
satisfaction
of
their
desire
,
for
that
as
soone
as
the
letter
was
read
▪
two
of
those
Gyants
dyd
bring
foorth
his
Horse
Cornerino
,
very
richly
trimmed
,
in
such
sort
as
hée
was
brought
f●…orth
for
the
Prince
Meridian
,
at
whose
sight
they
not
a
little
meruaile
,
and
the
knight
of
the
Sun
making
great
reuerence
vnto
the
Princesse
,
descended
from
the
chariot
,
and
lept
on
horseback
,
&
béesides
his
mighty
proportion
,
the
great
beauty
and
riches
of
his
armour
,
and
of
the
saddle
and
all
other
trappings
&
necessaryes
belonging
to
his
Horse
,
he
was
a
spectacle
for
all
the
Knights
that
were
in
that
place
,
&
taking
a
speare
in
his
hand
,
hée
went
&
put
himselfe
in
place
wheras
the
iusts
were
made
,
with
such
gallant
demeanour
&
gentle
disposition
,
that
beefore
they
saw
him
strike
a
blow
with
speare
or
sword
,
they
all
iudged
him
to
bee
of
great
bounty
and
strength
,
and
to
bée
a
knight
of
woonderfull
estimation
and
price
,
hée
was
not
well
setteled
in
his
place
of
iust
with
his
horse
Cornerino
,
when
there
came
beefore
him
a
big
and
well
proportioned
knight
,
who
amongst
all
the
Greeks
was
had
,
in
greatest
estimation
,
this
was
the
stout
Alpino
,
Lord
of
the
Iland
of
Lemos
,
who
had
done
that
day
many
déedes
of
Knighthood
,
and
haing
both
of
them
theyr
Speares
in
theyr
hands
,
one
of
the
Gyaunts
of
the
Chariot
dyd
sound
a
Trumpet
,
at
which
sound
these
two
knights
did
béegin
to
mooue
themselues
one
against
the
other
,
and
with
the
great
●…wiftnesse
of
the
Horse
Cornerino
,
it
séemed
in
a
moment
they
ioyned
togethr
.
This
strong
A
lpino
,
who
thought
to
●…aue
part
of
that
precious
Ladie
,
by
the
great
force
and
strength
of
the
encounter
which
hée
receiued
,
lost
the
sad●…le
of
his
Horse
,
and
found
him
along
the
ground
,
lying
so
●…uill
intreated
therewith
,
that
hée
tooke
his
spéech
from
him
●…or
a
great
season
,
and
the
knight
of
the
chariot
passed
forwardes
in
his
course
,
so
vpright
in
his
Saddle
beefore
,
as
●…hough
hee
had
made
no
encounter
.
The
Emperour
and
all
●…e
rest
that
were
in
that
assembly
,
were
amazed
to
see
that
●…ighty
Alpino
ouerthrowen
,
but
yet
in
a
short
time
they
〈◊〉
more
at
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
had
him
in
grea●…r
estimation
,
for
that
presently
there
came
against
him
to
〈◊〉
Artidoro
,
Prince
of
Candia
,
&
Alfonte
,
Lord
of
Sicilia
,
and
〈◊〉
Prince
of
Dalmatia
,
called
Dardante
,
&
the
two
Princes
〈◊〉
and
Rodafeo
,
the
valyantest
of
all
the
Gréekes
,
all
which
hée
dyd
ouerthrow
to
the
ground
at
the
first
encounter
,
&
not
one
of
them
did
once
moue
him
in
his
saddle
.
To
conclude
,
that
day
hee
did
ouerthrow
all
knights
that
came
to
the
iust
against
him
,
which
were
to
the
number
of
more
then
fiftie
,
as
well
strangers
as
naturals
of
the
Empire
of
Grecia
,
and
the
like
hee
did
to
all
them
that
came
against
him
in
eight
dayes
following
,
and
in
some
dayes
hée
dyd
ouerthrow
more
then
an
hundreath
,
and
there
was
not
one
that
dyd
abide
him
the
second
encounter
.
So
that
the
great
Chiualrie
and
worthie
déedes
of
Kighthoode
of
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
was
manifest
in
the
court
of
the
mightie
Emperour
Trebatio
,
and
hée
knew
not
what
to
say
,
but
that
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
was
the
best
Knight
in
all
the
world
,
and
that
hée
had
made
more
strength
then
any
humane
creature
,
and
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
who
had
continually
his
minde
vppon
his
friend
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
was
in
a
great
doubt
,
for
that
hée
could
not
heare
any
newes
of
him
,
and
it
séemed
vnto
him
that
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
dyd
resemble
him
very
much
,
as
well
in
proportion
,
as
in
his
great
strength
which
hée
saw
in
him
,
and
could
not
by
any
meanes
perswade
with
himselfe
but
hée
should
bée
the
same
,
but
yet
hée
had
great
credite
and
was
fully
resolued
that
if
it
were
his
friend
,
hée
would
not
but
make
himselfe
knowen
for
the
great
friendshippe
that
was
bé
et
wixt
them
.
In
the
same
time
the
precious
and
soueraigne
Princesse
Lyndabrides
was
very
ioyefull
to
〈◊〉
the
mightie
Knighthoode
of
hir
Knight
,
and
was
fullie
perswaded
that
hir
Gods
had
created
him
to
bee
the
worthies●
and
strongest
in
all
the
world
,
and
chosen
him
for
hir
〈◊〉
which
was
the
occasion
that
shée
did
loue
him
so
much
,
and
in
such
sort
that
shee
could
not
bée
out
of
his
presence
on●
moment
,
as
one
that
was
very
certaine
and
sure
that
ther●
was
no
other
Knight
of
so
great
bountie
,
nor
any
peruer●●
fortune
,
of
so
great
force
to
seperate
the
loue
that
was
bé●twixt
them
.
But
yet
for
that
all
humane
things
are
〈◊〉
such
sort
,
that
there
is
no
firmenesse
nor
stabilitie
in
them
Long
time
did
not
passe
but
this
souerainge
Princesse
ha●
great
feare
of
Fortune
,
as
héereafter
you
shall
vnderstand

And
heere
the
Historie
doeth
leaue
the
court
of
the
mightie
Emperoor
Trebatio
,
to
declare
of
a
damsell
,
whom
nature
had
endued
with
beautie
,
aboue
all
creatures
in
the
world
,
which
was
able
to
ouerthrow

great
pleasure
of

Chap.
26.
AFter
that
the
thrée
Princes
,
Bargandel
,
Liriamandro
,
&
the
Tarrarian
Zoylo
,
were
departed
from
the
empire
of
Trabisond
as
the
Historie
hath
told
you
,
the
royall
princesse
Claridiana
,
who
receiued
the
order
of
knighthoode
,
vsed
for
hir
exercise
to
goe
on
hunting
,
and
shée
tooke
great
pleasure
therein
,
that
ther
was
no
o●her
thing
that
did
like
hir
but
onely
that
,
and
the
game
wherin
she
most
delighted
,
was
the
wild
Boare
,
Lyons
,
and
Beares
,
&
other
sauage
beastes
,
that
were
perillous
&
difficult
to
be
slaine
.
And
for
that
she
could
not
at
all
times
find
these
wild
&
furious
beasts
when
she
would
,
it
was
the
occasion
that
one
day
she
determined
to
go
vnto
the
mountaines
of
Oligas
in
Galatia
,
sixe
daies
iourny
from
Trabisond
,
wheras
it
was
told
hir
that
ther
were
many
wild
beasts
,
for
●hat
the
mountains
were
very
high
,
&
void
of
all
inhabitants
,
〈◊〉
vpon
the
top
of
them
ther
were
great
forrests
full
of
trées
,
●nd
very
thick
&
bushie
.
So
she
asked
lisence
of
hir
parents
,
who
graunted
it
vnto
bi
r
with
a
good
will
,
as
they
which
were
desirous
to
pleasure
hir
in
all
things
,
for
that
she
was
so
●aire
&
couragious
.
So
this
faire
princesse
did
take
with
hir
●iftie
knights
to
beare
hir
company
,
and
sixe
gentlewomen
●o
wait
vppon
hir
and
to
serue
hir
,
béesides
a
great
number
〈◊〉
other
seruants
and
hunts-men
,
and
they
departed
from
Trabisond
,
and
in
the
end
of
eight
dayes
they
came
vnto
the
●ountaines
of
Oligas
,
whereas
she
commaunded
to
be
pitched
many
tents
&
pauilions
,
for
to
lodge
hir self
&
hir
people
,
for
that
hir
determination
was
to
tarrie
ther
a
whole
moneth
,
because
the
country
did
like
hir
very
well
,
although
the
mountaines
were
excéeding
high
,
&
they
found
in
them
many
plaines
&
valleys
,
very
pleasant
&
delightfull
for
that
time
of
the
yeare
,
for
that
the
same
was
very
hot
,
&
ther
the
Princesse
found
great
abundance
of
all
kinde
of
game
,
wher
she
did
satisfie
hir
whole
desire
,
&
it
was
a
strange
thing
to
sée
hir
when
she
rode
a
hunting
,
vpon
a
mightie
great
and
light
horse
,
apparailed
in
gréene
veluet
,
&
a
hat
of
the
same
,
wherwith
she
couered
hir
golden
haire
,
the
which
was
knit
vp
in
a
call
of
gold
,
&
she
carried
in
hir
hand
a
boare
speare
,
with
a
very
sharp
&
fine
stéeled
head
,
&
at
hir
neck
a
horne
of
Iuorie
,
so
that
in
hir
demeanour
she
séemed
to
be
some
Seraphin
come
downe
from
heauen
.
In
this
order
she
went
forth
to
séeke
hir
game
,
&
when
she
had
found
any
wild
beast
,
she
ran
after
them
like
a
whirle
wind
,
&
although
they
were
very
great
&
furious
,
yet
she
would
euer
quell
&
kill
them
with
hir
b●…are
speare
,
so
that
in
the
space
of
fiftéene
dayes
,
that
she
was
ther
,
she
had
slaine
many
wild
boares
&
heares
&
two
Lions
,
at
the
which
she
receiued
great
contentment
,
and
as
it
happened
vpon
a
day
she
did
enter
into
the
mountaines
more
then
at
thrée
times
being
alone
&
without
any
company
,
she
came
into
a
mightie
great
and
broad
plaine
,
wheras
she
saw
come
forth
of
the
thickest
of
the
forrest
,
a
very
great
hart
,
faire
,
&
as
whi●…e
as
snow
,
who
although
he
came
forth
without
any
feare
,
yet
at
such
time
as
he
saw
the
princesse
,
he
began
to
take
his
course
through
the
plaine
,
●…
when
she
saw
the
hart
to
be
so
g●…eat
&
faire
,
as
one
that
had
great
desire
to
ouertake
him
,
she
began
to
run
hir
horse
after
him
with
great
swiftnesse
,
&
with
such
lightnesse
,
the
it
séemed
sh●…
did
not
hurt
any
grasse
wheras
hir
horse
did
tread
.
So
shée
ran
a
great
way
,
but
the
Princesse
could
not
ouertake
th●…
hart
,
neither
was
the
hart
far
from
hir
,
til
such
time
as
〈◊〉
were
at
the
farthest
part
of
that
great
plaine
,
wheras
th●…
Hart
did
enter
into
a
thicket
,
and
as
the
Princesse
woul●…
haue
entered
in
to
haue
followed
the
Hart
,
vpon
a
sodaine
ther
was
before
hir
a
very
great
&
dreadfull
Lion
,
such
a
one
as
would
haue
put
any
good
knight
in
great
feare
,
which
raising
vp
himselfe
on
his
hinder
féete
,
was
as
high
as
the
Princesse
on
horsbacke
,
who
pretending
to
make
his
pray
,
would
haue
griped
hir
with
his
great
&
heauy
pawes
vpon
the
shoulders
,
but
she
with
a
valiant
and
manlike
courage
stroke
him
in
the
midst
of
his
breast
with
hir
boare
spearé
,
so
terrible
a
blow
,
that
it
passed
through
his
body
,
&
hée
fell
downe
dead
to
the
ground
.
When
she
had
done
this
,
being
very
desirous
to
ouertake
this
white
hart
,
she
followed
hir
course
after
him
,
&
running
a
while
in
that
thicket
,
in
the
end
she
came
into
a
little
plaine
,
which
was
compassed
about
with
that
thicket
,
in
the
midst
of
the
which
she
saw
a
great
hole
,
in
manner
of
a
caue
,
which
entred
into
the
ground
,
&
straight
waies
shée
saw
comming
forth
thereat
a
mightie
great
serpent
,
&
wonderfull
to
behold
,
who
beating
with
his
wings
&
giuing
terrible
shricks
went
towards
the
Princes
Claridiana
with
his
terrible
mouth
open
,
so
great
&
wide
,
that
a
man
might
very
well
passe
in
therat
.
When
the
ro●…all
Princesse
did
sée
him
comming
,
wich
a
stout
hart
&
valiant
courage
she
did
abide
him
till
he
came
nigh
vnto
hir
,
&
hauing
in
hir
hand
that
bloudy
boare
speare
,
wherwith
she
flew
the
furious
Lion
,
shée
stretched
out
that
warlike
and
strong
arme
,
&
threw
it
at
the
Serpent
with
so
great
force
and
strength
,
&
chaunced
to
strike
him
in
the
midst
of
that
●…nmeasurable
mouth
which
he
had
open
,
thinking
to
haue
made
his
pray
vpon
the
Princesse
,
that
almost
all
the
boare
Speare
was
hidde
in
his
bodie
,
and
passed
through
his
●…owelles
,
in
such
sort
,
that
this
monstrous
and
dredfull
Se●…pent
could
not
〈◊〉
himselfe
out
of
that
place
,
hée
was
so
wounded
with
the
Boare
Speare
,
and
giuing
manye
great
and
terrible
shrikes
,
within
a
little
time
●…e
fell
downe
dead
to
the
ground
.
This
béeing
done
,
●…he
Princesse
was
very
much
amazed
,
and
did
behold
the
Serpent
béeing
dead
,
and
it
séemed
vnto
hir
to
be
the
most
fiercest
that
euer
she
had
séene
or
heard
off
,
&
thought
within
hir selfe
,
that
wher
all
such
Porters
&
kéepers
were
,
it
could
not
bee
chosen
but
that
ther
was
some
secret
within
.
And
as
she
was
determined
to
goe
towardes
the
mouth
of
the
caue
,
she
saw
comming
forth
therat
an
old
woman
,
who
seemed
by
hir
personage
&
apparell
to
be
a
person
of
authoritie
,
who
comming
vnto
hir
said
.
The
faire
&
royall
princesse
Claridiana
is
very
well
welcome
,
for
that
many
daies
past
you
haue
ben
of
me
meruailouslie
wished
&
looked
for
.
This
worthie
Princesse
when
she
saw
that
shée
was
knowen
by
the
old
woman
,
being
very
much
amazed
,
she
said
:
Of
a
truth
gentle
madame
,
your
words
,
&
that
which
hath
happened
héere
vnto
me
,
doth
put
me
in
great
admiration
,
&
I
do
not
know
what
I
should
say
vnto
this
which
I
haue
séene
.
The
old
woman
answered
,
I
doe
well
beléeue
that
all
this
which
you
haue
seene
doth
make
you
meruaile
very
much
,
for
that
as
yet
you
doe
not
know
the
secret
of
this
aduenture
,
but
come
,
&
goe
with
me
,
&
you
shall
vnderstand
the
misterie
therof
.
When
the
old
woman
had
said
these
wordes
,
the
worthy
&
valiant
Princesse
alighted
from
hir
horse
,
and
made
him
fast
vnto
a
trée
,
&
went
vnto
the
woman
,
who
tooke
hir
by
the
hand
&
lead
hir
vnto
the
caue
,
&
going
down
a
paire
of
turning
staires
,
they
went
so
long
till
they
came
into
a
very
saire
Hall
foure
square
,
&
although
it
was
vnder
the
ground
,
yet
it
was
so
light
as
though
the
Sun
di●…
shine
therein
,
by
reason
of
a
great
precious
stone
that
was
set
in
the
wall
thereof
,
from
the
which
procéeded
that
great
light
,
&
ther
was
in
the
middest
of
that
hall
a
table
of
Al●…blaster
,
very
white
,
&
vpon
the
table
lay
a
whole
armour
,
with
the
sword
,
&
was
so
garnished
with
rich
pearles
,
that
it
seemed
to
be
of
great
valour
&
estimation
.
And
when
they
came
nigh
vnto
it
,
the
old
woman
said
vnto
the
Princesse
.
Worthie
Gentlewoman
,
this
armour
which
you
doe
●…
héere
,
did
béelong
vnto
the
Quéene
Pantasillia
,
who
was
slaine
at
the
destruction
of
Troy
,
the
which
is
one
of
the
best
in
all
the
world
,
for
so
soone
as
shee
was
slaine
they
were
brought
hether
by
a
wise
man
that
did
foresee
&
know
that
it
should
be
atchieued
by
a
damosell
,
who
in
forre
of
armes
,
&
beautie
,
should
●…ar
surmount
that
famous
queene
.
And
for
to
gard
&
kéepe
the
same
,
he
put
that
Lyon
,
&
that
wonderfull
Serpent
,
which
you
haue
slaine
:
for
whosoeuer
had
come
h●…ther
,
that
had
not
ben
of
so
high
&
heroicall
courage
as
you
are
,
could
not
atchiue
the
same
,
neyther
come
vnto
the
sight
therof
.
And
for
as
much
as
by
your
prowesse
,
they
belong
to
you
,
you
may
well
take
them
&
arme
your selfe
with
them
,
for
that
ther
shall
succeed
vnto
you
▪
meruailous
&
wonderful
things
,
which
shall
be
the
occasion
that
you
will
haue
them
in
great
estimacion
,
&
this
is
the
end
of
this
aduenture
,
&
the
occasion
that
you
were
brought
hether
by
that
white
Hart.
And
for
that
I
do
perceiue
you
are
desirous
to
know
who
I
am
,
you
shall
vnderstand
that
I
am
called
Oligas
,
of
whom
those
great
mountaines
doth
take
their
names
,
for
that
I
haue
many
yeares
past
,
had
my
habitation
&
dwelling
place
here
as
you
haue
seene
.
And
for
the
knowledge
&
vnderstanding
that
I
haue
in
the
art
magicke
,
my
fame
is
spred
in
many
regions
:
and
heere
doth
neuer
〈◊〉
aduentures
in
these
Mountaines
,
for
such
knights
as
come
hether
.
When
the
old
woman
had
vttered
these
words
,
the
princes
was
much
amazed
to
heare
hir
,
&
no
lesse
ioyfull
for
the
precious
armour
which
she
had
obtained
.
Then
she
armed
hir selfe
ther
with
,
&
they
wer
as
fit
for
hir
as
if
it
had
ben
made
of
purpose
.
And
after
she
was
armed
,
the
wise
Oligas
did
take
hir
by
the
hand
&
said
:
come
worthy
princes
&
go
with
me
,
&
I
will
shew
you
things
that
you
will
reioyce
at
.
Then
this
Lady
did
cary
hir
out
of
one
quadran
into
an
other
,
till
such
time
as
they
came
into
a
faire
&
great
hall
,
wherevpon
the
wa●…s
was
painted
all
the
fairest
damosells
that
were
in
all
the
world
?
such
as
in
times
past
had
the
fame
to
be
faire
&
beautifull
.
Amongst
the
which
the
princes
did
see
hir
owne
face
pictured
,
&
next
vnto
hir
,
she
saw
the
Empresse
Briana
,
and
the
faire
and
beautifull
Oliuia
,
at
whose
great
beautie
they
did
much
meruaile
.
And
going
forwards
,
they
saw
the
faire
&
excellent
Lady
Lindabrides
,
sitting
in
hir
triumphant
Chariot
,
at
whose
great
maiestie
,
and
soueraigne
beautie
,
this
royall
Princesse
was
very
much
amazed
.
And
turning
vnto
the
lady
Oligas
,
she
asked
of
hir
who
that
gentle
woman
should
be
,
and
wherfore
she
did
put
hir selfe
into
that
chariot
.
So
after
a
while
that
they
had
well
perused
all
that
was
ther
to
bée
séene
,
this
Lady
tooke
the
princesse
by
the
hand
&
lead
hir
out
of
that
hall
into
another
,
wheras
was
pictured
all
the
famous
knights
that
hath
ben
&
wer
at
that
present
in
all
the
world
,
&
all
such
as
were
dead
&
past
,
were
painted
vpon
another
:
amongst
the
which
she
saw
pictured
,
that
illustrious
&
worthy
Greeke
,
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
who
aboue
all
the
rest
did
manifest
himselfe
,
as
did
apere
:
&
had
before
him
all
the
whole
castell
of
Lindaraza
,
&
the
great
mightie
&
wonderfull
battailes
that
he
had
with
the
knight
of
triumphant
chariet
,
&
the
faire
Lindabrides
therin
,
in
the
like
manner
as
he
was
in
Constantinople
,
defending
hir
great
beautie
.
And
as
the
roiall
princes
did
cast
hir
eies
vpon
him
,
&
did
consider
his
mightie
statnre
&
gentle
disposition
,
&
his
seuere
countenan e
,
who
séemed
to
bee
more
a
celestiall
creature
then
any
humane
knight
.
And
ioyning
therevnto
his
great
&
mightie
wonderfull
déedes
&
prowesse
,
which
was
portraied
ther
before
him
.
She
straight
way
found
hir selfe
wounded
with
his
loue
,
in
whose
heroicall
&
liberall
hart
,
did
neuer
enter
any
humane
thought
before
:
was
now
all
onely
with
that
sight
,
taken
prisoner
in
such
sort
,
that
life
should
first
want
,
before
that
she
should
be
released
and
at
libertie
.
And
because
she
would
dissemble
that
new
&
amorous
passion
,
she
asked
of
the
old
Lady
,
who
that
knight
should
be
,
then
the
Lady
,
who
did
wel
vnderstand
hir
thought
,
said
:
you
shall
vnderstand
faire
princesse
,
that
this
knight
is
called
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
now
by
another
name
is
called
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
:
this
is
be
that
doth
defend
in
Constantinople
,
the
beautie
of
that
Lady
Lindabrides
,
according
as
I
haue
tolde
you
,
when
you
did
behold
the
infant
.
And
as
yet
it
is
not
knowen
whose
son
he
is
,
nor
he
doth
not
know
his
father
nor
his
mother
,
but
the
time
will
come
&
that
shortly
,
that
they
shal
be
knowen
,
greatly
vnto
their
honour
and
praise
.
And
thus
much
I
can
certifie
you
,
thnt
neuer
amongst
knights
past
of
old
antiquitie
,
neither
at
this
present
hath
ben
,
nor
is
,
that
is
equall
vnto
this
valiant
&
worthie
knight
,
&
his
worthie
&
heroycall
déedes
will
extinguish
&
blot
out
all
other
before
his
time
,
and
all
others
that
shall
come
after
htm
.
These
were
wordes
that
caused
the
wounded
hart
of
the
Princes
to
be
the
more
tormented
,
for
considering
the
great
worthinesse
of
his
person
,
and
the
ielosie
that
she
felt
in
hir
mind
,
&
had
of
that
Princesse
Lindabrides
caused
hir
loue
to
be
the
more
greater
.
And
from
that
present
she
had
great
desire
to
passe
into
Grecia
,
&
to
sée
with
hir
eies
,
that
knight
whose
picture
had
robbed
hir
of
hir
libertie
.
And
shee
was
fullie
certified
within
hir selfe
,
that
if
the
knight
of
the
chariot
did
once
beholde
hir
beautie
&
fairenesse
,
that
he
would
quickly
forget
that
princesse
,
whose
beautie
he
doth
now
defend
,
although
she
should
appeare
to
be
more
fairer
.
And
hauing
these
thoughts
within
hir
,
she
was
a
good
while
&
could
not
take
away
hir
eies
,
in
beholding
the
picture
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
till
such
time
as
hauing
shame
of
that
old
lady
,
she
put
hir
eies
apart
,
&
did
behold
the
mighty
Trebatio
,
&
his
sonne
Rosicleer
,
who
in
his
stature
&
countenance
,
did
very
much
resemble
the
knight
of
the
Sun
.
And
for
to
know
who
they
were
,
she
did
aske
of
the
old
Lady
,
and
she
did
tell
hir
that
next
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
that
they
two
were
the
best
&
strongest
knights
in
all
the
world
.
And
how
that
,
that
mightie
Emperour
,
was
hée
whom
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
had
taken
and
deliuered
out
of
the
inchantment
of
Lindaraza
,
as
shée
had
seene
in
the
painting
of
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
.
So
béeing
much
amazed
at
that
shée
had
séene
,
shée
remained
there
till
she
thought
it
requisit
to
returne
vnto
hir
companye
,
for
that
they
should
not
trouble
themselues
in
séeking
hir
.
And
ther
with
he
said
vnto
the
old
Lady
,
that
she
would
depart
if
it
were
hir
pleasure
,
&
that
she
had
no
other
thing
to
commaund
hir
.
Unto
whom
she
answered
,
saying
,
that
the
might
vse
hir
discreation
,
although
she
had
many
other
thinges
to
shew
hir
,
which
shée
should
keepe
close
vntill
such
time
as
occasion
serued
to
come
that
way
againe
,
at
whose
sight
she
should
take
great
pleasnre
.
And
therewith
she
tooke
hir
by
the
hand
and
carried
hir
forth
the
same
way
she
entred
,
till
such
time
as
they
were
out
of
the
caue
,
wheras
the
old
Lady
committed
hir
to
God
,
and
taking
hir
leaue
of
the
princesse
she
returned
into
hir
caue
,
&
straight
way
vpon
a
sodaine
the
caue
was
vanished
away
,
in
such
sort
,
that
the
princesse
could
see
it
no
more
,
&
remained
a
while
amazed
at
that
which
had
happened
she
toke
hir
horse
wheras
she
had
left
him
tied
to
a
trée
,
&
sought
out
hir
company
,
very
glad
&
ioyfull
for
that
precious
armour
which
she
had
won
,
although
otherwise
she
were
so
farre
in
loue
with
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
,
that
she
thought
long
to
returne
vnto
Trabisond
,
&
depart
from
thence
&
passe
into
Grecia
,
for
to
sée
that
knight
,
for
she
thought
with
hir self
,
that
hée
alone
was
aboue
all
the
rest
of
the
world
,
that
did
deserue
to
inioy
hir
person
&
beautie
.
And
with
this
great
desire
she
trauailed
,
till
such
time
as
by
the
sound
of
hir
horne
hir
knights
came
vnto
hir
,
who
meruailed
to
sée
hir
armed
with
that
precious
and
rich
armour
,
&
did
receiue
hir
with
great
ioy
&
pleasure
for
that
they
had
gone
about
seeking
for
hir
a
good
while
,
complayning
very
much
for
hir
absence
,
for
that
they
●…nspected
some
mishap
had
chaunced
vnto
hir
.
The
Princesse
did
riceiue
them
very
curteously
,
and
declared
vnto
the
manner
how
shée
got
that
rich
armour
,
and
so
●…hée
went
with
them
vnto
their
Tents
,
and
the
next
day
in
the
morning
they
departed
to
Trabisond
,
for
that
with
hir
new
and
amorous
passions
which
troubled
hir
,
she
did
not
like
well
of
those
desarts
,
neither
did
she
receiue
so
great
delight
in
hir
hunting
and
game
as
she
was
wont
to
doe
,
but
all
hir
desire
was
to
see
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
▪
and
all
hir
ioy
was
in
Grecia
,
desiring
there
to
manifest
hir
beautie
.
And
héere
the
Historie
doth
leaue
hir
till
the
time
serue
for
to
tell
you
of
the
knight
of
Cupid
,
whom
wée
left
in
the
depth
of
the
mountaine
of
Phenicia
.
Of
that
which
happened
vnto
the
sorrowfull
knight
of
Cupid
,
after
that
hee
was
carried
into
the
Fountaine
of
the
sauage
people
.
Chapter
27.
YOu
doe
well
remember
of
the
straunge
and
sodaine
losse
of
that
amorous
and
stronge
knight
Rosicleer
,
how
after
hée
had
drunke
of
the
water
of
the
Fountaine
of
the
Sauage
people
,
hee
fell
downe
on
the
ground
,
and
how
that
there
came
foorth
of
that
Fountayne
a
monster
of
the
Sea
,
and
tooke
him
in
hir
armes
,
and
carried
him
vnto
the
deapth
and
bottome
of
the
water
.
And
how
that
his
great
and
faithfull
friend
the
King
Sacridoro
not
hauing
so
much
patience
as
to
suffer
so
great
losse
,
did
throw
himselfe
after
him
into
the
fountaine
,
with
great
good
will
to
receiue
the
death
with
him
.
Now
the
Historie
saith
that
the
meruayles
of
this
fountayne
were
very
many
and
strange
,
for
that
so
soone
as
this
amorous
knight
was
in
the
depth
of
that
water
,
hée
found
himselfe
in
a
very
fayre
and
and
gréene
field
ful
of
flowres
,
wheras
the
calmenesse
of
the
aire
,
and
the
cleerenes
of
the
Sun
seemed
vnto
him
to
bée
the
same
as
it
was
beefore
,
although
considering
what
he
had
before
suffered
,
hée
séemed
to
bee
in
another
world
,
&
looking
about
for
the
monster
that
had
brought
him
thether
,
hee
saw
that
shée
was
a
faire
damsell
&
well
proportioned
,
who
with
a
merry
countenan e
came
vnto
him
&
said
:
Ualiant
&
hardy
knight
,
by
your
great
bounty
&
strength
,
you
haue
obtained
to
come
&
drink
of
the
water
of
this
fountaine
,
&
by
drinking
therof
you
are
come
hether
,
therfore
I
will
giue
you
to
vnderstand
of
this
aduenture
,
&
of
the
merueilous
things
that
you
shall
héere
see
.
For
I
hope
in
God
and
my
good
Fortune
,
that
you
are
the
knight
for
whom
I
haue
many
daies
looked
,
by
whose
great
strength
,
considering
you
bée
so
loyall
and
perfect
a
louer
,
to
set
me
at
liberty
out
of
this
place
,
and
also
béeing
a
worthy
Prince
,
who
doth
suffer
euery
day
very
grieuous
and
mortall
paine
.
When
the
fayre
Damsell
had
spoke
these
words
the
knight
of
Cupide
did
salute
hir
very
curteously
,
and
therwith
shée
béegan
to
declare
hir
aduentnre
,
saying
.
You
shall
vnderstand
(
gentle
knight
)
that
the
king
Polidarco
,
who
is
now
king
ouer
this
Countrie
,
had
a
son
called
Don
Lusindo
,
who
béeing
dubbed
knight
,
was
one
of
the
strongest
and
well
proportionedst
knight
that
could
bée
found
in
all
these
parts
.
Likewise
the
king
Polidarco
had
a
brother
,
a
very
wise
man
in
the
art
Magicke
,
who
dwelled
in
these
mountaines
,
and
in
this
valley
,
which
séemeth
vnto
you
to
be
a
new
world
,
and
this
wise
man
was
my
father
,
who
for
my
better
sauegard
and
honour
,
did
carry
me
vnto
the
courtof
the
king
Polidarco
,
wheras
I
continued
certaine
yéeres
in
the
company
of
the
quéene
&
hir
daughter
Oriselua
.
And
béeing
there
,
the
prince
Don
Lusindo
fell
in
loue
with
mée
,
insomuch
that
in
the
end
of
many
daies
he
did
so
importune
me
,
that
hée
plighted
mée
his
faith
and
troth
to
take
mée
for
his
wife
,
and
I
hauing
my
confidence
therein
,
hée
did
obtaine
of
mée
all
that
his
pleasure
was
,
and
although
this
was
kept
secret
many
daies
,
yet
in
the
ende
it
came
to
bée
discouered
,
for
that
my
father
was
very
old
,
and
knowing
that
his
time
was
come
that
hée
should
die
,
hée
did
procure
to
marry
mée
and
giue
mee
vnto
a
husband
,
according
vnto
my
estate
and
honour
.
And
béeing
very
importunate
with
mée
therein
,
I
was
constrained
of
necessitie
to
declare
vnto
him
that
I
was
made
sure
vnto
the
Prince
Lusindo
,
and
how
that
hée
was
my
spouse
and
husband
.
And
at
such
time
as
the
king
my
father
went
vnto
the
prince
,
for
to
know
of
him
the
truth
,
he
denyed
it
and
sayd
▪
that
there
neuer
passed
beetwixt
vs
any
such
promise
.
And
all
that
euer
my
Father
could
,
was
not
sufficient
to
make
him
confesse
the
truth
.
And
hée
séeing
the
great
disloyalty
of
him
,
determined
before
hée
did
die
to
bée
reuenged
of
that
iniury
,
and
likewise
of
me
,
in
such
sort
,
that
in
time
ther
might
be
some
remedy
,
&
so
by
his
great
knowledge
he
brought
the
prince
hether
vnto
his
habitation
,
and
put
him
into
a
quadran
full
of
fire
,
wheras
he
is
continually
burning
,
and
without
ceasing
he
crieth
out
&
giueth
terrible
shrikes
,
&
cannot
come
foorth
of
that
quadran
.
And
when
he
was
put
therin
,
he
said
,
that
by
no
manner
of
wise
he
could
be
cleere
of
that
great
torment
and
peine
,
till
such
time
as
a
knight
,
who
by
his
bounty
&
prowesse
,
should
come
vnto
the
fountaine
of
the
sauage
people
and
drinck
of
the
water
,
and
drinking
therof
,
he
shuld
discouer
the
entry
into
this
habitation
,
as
you
haue
discouered
the
same
.
And
how
that
this
knight
by
the
great
loialty
of
his
loue
should
supply
the
great
disloialty
of
the
prince
,
&
how
hée
should
take
him
forth
of
that
quadran
wheras
he
is
,
by
the
force
and
strength
of
his
armes
,
first
getting
the
victorie
by
battaile
,
and
how
that
after
hée
is
deliuered
from
that
place
,
he
should
receiue
a●…d
take
me
to
bee
his
spouse
,
&
tell
the
truth
of
all
that
had
passed
.
This
béeing
ordained
and
done
,
my
father
died
,
and
héere
I
doo
remaine
all
alone
very
sad
and
sorrowfull
for
his
death
,
and
with
great
griefe
and
compassion
of
the
prince
,
for
that
ther
cannot
be
a
more
grieuous
thing
in
the
world
than
to
heare
him
shrike
and
lament
.
And
although
the
king
his
Father
did
know
of
a
certaintie
that
the
wise
man
his
brother
did
bring
him
hether
vnto
this
habitation
,
to
bée
reuenged
on
him
,
yet
for
all
that
,
hée
could
neuer
finde
the
entrie
into
it
,
although
hée
hath
procured
by
all
meanes
that
euer
was
possible
.
So
that
the
king
and
the
quéene
his
mother
,
and
all
the
rest
of
the
kingdome
doo
liue
in
great
sorrow
and
heauinesse
for
the
losse
of
the
prince
:
for
this
habitation
hath
an
other
entry
by
a
Caue
,
which
in
all
the
world
doth
beare
the
fame
,
●…ut
the
entrie
thereof
is
so
perilous
and
dark
,
that
there
is
●…o
humane
knight
dare
enter
it
,
and
there
is
none
but
I
a●…one
that
doth
know
of
this
entry
into
the
valley
.
And
séeing
●…hat
you
,
most
ventrous
knight
,
is
hée
,
by
whom
my
Father
saide
should
bée
concluded
and
finished
,
this
aduenture
.
Therefore
I
pray
and
desire
you
,
to
take
compassion
of
this
Prince
,
and
of
mee
,
who
doo
likewise
in
my
hart
féele
euery
way
his
paine
and
griefe
:
and
goe
set
him
at
libertie
,
that
possessing
the
same
,
hée
may
goe
and
comfort
his
Parents
,
giuing
them
the
ioy
and
pleasure
,
that
in
his
recouering
againe
they
might
receiue
.
And
heere
with
the
Gentlewoman
made
an
ende
of
hir
tale
.
And
the
knight
of
Cupide
remained
,
and
maruailed
at
that
which
he
had
heard
.
And
hauing
a
great
desire
to
set
at
libertie
the
Prince
Lusindo
,
hée
requested
the
damsell
to
shew
him
wher
hée
was
,
&
hée
would
doo
all
that
in
him
did
lye
for
to
set
him
at
libertie
.
And
when
hee
had
sayd
these
words
,
the
damsell
did
take
him
by
the
hand
,
&
lead
him
through
that
floorishing
gréene
Ualley
,
till
they
came
vnto
certaine
high
&
mighty
Rocks
,
wherewith
all
that
valley
was
compassed
about
.
And
there
was
cut
out
of
one
rock
a
paire
of
staires
,
wher
at
this
damosell
and
the
knight
of
Cupide
went
vp
,
till
such
time
as
they
came
vnto
a
dore
,
where
into
they
entred
,
and
came
into
very
many
great
and
faire
roomes
,
at
the
beauty
wherof
the
knight
of
Cupid
greatly
maruailed
,
for
that
béesides
they
were
all
cut
out
of
the
hard
stone
,
they
séemed
to
bée
the
straungest
kinde
of
work
that
euer
hee
saw
in
his
lyfe
.
And
straight
way
when
hée
béeganne
to
enter
in
thereat
,
they
might
héere
the
Prince
Don
Lusindo
complaine
with
great
and
terrible
shricke
.
So
they
went
forwards
till
they
came
vnto
the
Quadran
of
Fyer
,
the
doore
whereof
was
open
,
whereat
hée
saw
the
bright
flames
of
Fyer
,
of
which
the
whole
quadran
was
full
,
which
was
a
thing
of
great
wonder
.
And
hée
saw
in
the
midst
of
the
Quadran
,
the
prince
all
armed
,
with
his
Sword
in
his
hand
,
sitting
in
a
Chayre
,
and
could
not
mooue
,
neither
to
the
one
part
nor
to
the
other
,
and
it
was
very
pittifull
to
sée
his
demeanor
.
And
when
they
came
thether
,
the
damosell
sayd
vnto
the
knight
of
Cupide
:
worthy
knight
,
if
you
be
amorous
,
and
haue
not
committed
an●…
disloyaltie
against
your
friend
,
you
may
without
all
le●…
or
feare
enter
into
this
fire
which
you
sée
beefore
you
,
and
bring
out
the
Prince
from
the
place
whereas
hee
is
,
and
the
fire
shall
by
no
means
hurt
you
,
but
if
you
bée
no
loyall
nor
firme
louer
,
the
fire
will
burne
you
as
it
doth
the
prince
,
and
you
shall
haue
no
power
to
goe
forwardes
with
this
enterprise
▪
for
that
the
prince
is
a
valiant
knight
,
and
will
make
his
defence
very
strongly
for
a
good
while
.
The
knight
of
Cupide
when
hee
heard
hir
say
these
words
,
had
little
care
to
make
hir
aunswere
,
but
without
any
more
tarrying
hee
went
in
at
the
doore
of
the
Quadran
,
and
went
forwards
till
hee
came
whereas
the
Prince
was
,
and
the
fire
did
not
hurt
him
any
thing
at
all
,
who
as
soone
as
hée
saw
him
,
arose
from
the
Chayre
whereas
hée
sat
,
and
with
his
sword
in
his
hand
went
to
strike
him
,
and
charged
him
with
great
and
mighty
blowes
,
but
hee
who
had
no
other
desire
nor
determination
,
but
to
procure
his
bringing
out
of
that
place
,
drew
not
out
his
Swoord
against
him
,
but
with
his
mightie
,
great
,
and
strong
armes
hée
tooke
him
by
the
wast
,
and
in
spite
of
his
hart
hée
lift
him
vp
from
the
ground
,
and
carried
him
through
the
Quadran
,
till
hée
came
vnto
the
doore
whereas
the
fayre
Damsell
did
tarry
for
them
,
and
when
hée
had
brought
him
thether
,
the
Prince
beegan
to
make
great
resistance
in
his
defence
,
as
one
that
were
beeside
himselfe
,
and
ignoraunt
of
the
good
that
should
come
vnto
him
.
The
knight
of
Cupide
séeing
that
the
Prince
did
set
all
his
strength
against
him
,
hée
likewise
inforced
his
strength
,
and
ouerthrew
him
downe
to
the
ground
out
at
the
doore
,
wheras
straight
way
the
Prince
did
finde
himselfe
at
libertie
●…f
that
terrible
fire
and
paine
hée
suffered
.
And
beefore
hée
●…ould
arise
vp
,
the
knight
of
Cupide
did
pull
off
his
Healme
●…nd
said
vnto
him
.
You
are
but
dead
Prince
Don
Lusindo
,
〈◊〉
you
doo
not
acknowledge
this
Damsell
to
bée
your
wyfe
.
●…nd
when
the
Prince
saw
the
Damsell
and
dyd
know
hir
,
●…ée
receiued
great
delyght
to
sée
hir
there
,
and
sayd
.
Of
a
●…uth
gentle
Knight
,
for
this
thinge
which
you
doo
aske
of
●…ée
,
there
is
no
néede
to
certifie
mée
with
the
feare
of
death
,
〈◊〉
that
I
haue
very
much
repented
mée
of
the
great
disloialtie
I
haue
vsed
towards
hir
,
and
there
is
nothing
that
I
desire
more
,
then
to
take
hir
vnto
my
spouse
and
wyfe
,
as
surely
shée
already
is
.
In
saying
these
words
the
knight
of
Cupid
did
a
part
himselfe
from
him
,
and
gaue
the
prince
his
hand
,
helping
him
to
arise
from
the
ground
.
And
being
on
foot
hée
did
imbrace
the
fayre
Pinarda
with
great
loue
,
for
so
the
damsel
was
called
.
And
the
prince
returning
vnto
the
knight
of
Cupid
,
hée
gaue
him
harty
thanks
for
that
which
hée
had
done
for
him
,
and
requested
him
to
giue
him
to
vnderstand
of
whom
hée
had
receiued
so
great
a
benefit
,
and
hée
tould
him
that
hée
was
called
the
knight
of
Cupide
,
and
how
that
he
was
of
the
kingdome
of
Hungarie
.
And
when
the
Prince
saw
that
he
made
no
more
declaration
of
himselfe
,
he
would
not
be
importunate
with
him
,
for
that
he
perceiued
wel
how
hée
was
vnwilling
to
bée
knowen
,
and
for
that
it
grew
to
be
very
late
,
the
faire
Pinarda
did
request
them
to
take
theyr
rest
that
night
in
that
habitation
,
whereas
they
were
both
of
them
very
well
serued
,
and
ther
grew
béetwixt
them
great
friendship
▪
So
the
next
day
they
all
thrée
together
descended
out
of
that
habitation
,
by
the
same
staires
wherby
the
knight
of
Cupide
did
goe
vp
,
and
descending
downe
into
the
gréene
valley
,
they
saw
comming
towards
them
a
knight
of
bigge
stature
and
very
well
armed
,
whereat
they
were
all
much
amazed
,
but
straight
waies
when
they
drew
nigher
,
hée
was
knowen
to
be
that
valiant
and
worthy
king
Sacridoro
,
who
as
it
hath
béene
tould
you
did
throw
himselfe
into
the
depth
of
the
fountaine
,
whereas
hée
found
himselfe
in
that
gréene
and
flourishing
medow
,
and
hée
went
to
séeke
out
the
knight
of
Cupide
,
greatly
amazed
at
that
which
hée
saw
,
for
that
it
séemed
hée
was
in
a
new
world
.
And
when
the
knight
of
Cupide
knew
him
,
with
the
greatest
pleasure
and
delight
i●…
all
the
world
hée
went
towards
him
,
and
there
they
did
im●…
brace
one
another
,
as
though
they
had
not
seene
one
anothe●…
a
long
time
,
and
there
they
declared
the
one
vnto
the
othe●…
what
had
happened
vnto
eyther
of
them
.
And
straight
wa●…
the
knight
of
Cupide
made
knowen
vnto
the
Prince
Lusindo
,
his
friend
the
king
Sacridoro
,
and
gaue
him
to
vnderstand
,
that
by
his
occasion
and
for
his
cause
hée
came
vnto
that
f●…taine
of
the
Sauages
,
and
that
hée
ought
to
thank
him
for
his
libertie
.
The
Prince
who
had
knowen
him
beefore
,
and
knew
of
the
great
loue
that
hée
bare
to
his
sister
Oriselua
,
with
great
ioy
and
pleasure
hée
dyd
imbrace
him
,
and
promised
him
that
he
wold
doo
so
much
with
his
father
,
that
they
should
bée
friends
,
and
giue
him
the
Princesse
for
his
wife
,
with
the
which
the
King
Sacridoro
was
so
ioyfull
,
that
he
was
as
one
beside
himselfe
with
the
great
pleasure
which
hée
receiued
,
and
gaue
thanks
vnto
God
for
that
benefit
shewed
vnto
him
,
in
méeting
with
that
good
knight
of
Cupid
,
who
was
the
occasion
of
his
remedie
.
So
after
that
béetwixt
them
there
had
passed
very
much
talke
,
they
determined
to
goe
vnto
the
court
of
the
king
Polidarco
,
and
they
departed
from
that
place
,
hauing
in
their
company
the
faire
Pinardo
,
&
went
through
the
famous
caue
of
Phenicia
,
wher
of
hath
béen
spoken
so
much
,
&
there
they
did
vnderstand
the
occasion
of
that
terrible
&
fearefull
noyse
which
continually
was
there
heard
,
for
the
which
there
was
none
that
durst
giue
the
enterprise
to
goe
into
the
caue
,
and
was
by
reason
of
the
valley
which
the
knight
of
Cupid
found
himselfe
in
,
at
such
time
as
he
was
taken
into
the
fountaine
of
the
Saua●…es
,
was
so
déepe
,
and
compassed
about
with
such
high
and
●…ightie
rocks
,
so
that
neuer
any
man
could
enter
in
,
neither
●…ould
they
climbe
vp
vnto
the
top
of
those
mountaines
,
nor
●…ome
to
the
knowledge
of
any
such
valley
that
was
in
that
●…ace
amongst
those
rocks
,
and
vnder
those
rocks
and
moū●…ines
there
was
a
caue
that
passed
through
,
which
was
ve●…
obscure
and
darke
,
and
also
narrow
,
by
reason
whereof
,
●…gether
with
other
open
parts
in
the
same
Rock
,
the
ayre
●…d
enter
in
,
passing
through
from
the
one
side
vnto
the
●…her
,
and
the
noise
was
so
great
that
it
made
in
the
same
●…ue
,
and
by
cliffes
thereof
,
that
it
was
very
time●…s
and
fearefull
to
béehould
,
in
such
sort
that
there
●…s
none
durst
enter
in
there
at
,
wherevppon
it
was
●…led
the
terrible
Caue
of
Phenicia
.
So
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
and
the
king
Sacridoro
,
and
the
prince
Don
Lusindo
,
with
the
princesse
Pinarda
,
went
foorth
of
the
caue
,
and
all
foure
together
went
vnto
the
court
of
the
king
Polidarco
.
Who
when
hée
vnderstood
of
the
comming
of
the
Prince
Don
Lusindo
his
sonne
,
the
great
ioy
and
pleasure
which
hée
and
the
Quéene
did
receiue
cannot
bée
expressed
,
and
the
honour
which
was
done
vnto
them
,
for
the
time
that
they
remained
there
.
In
which
time
the
king
Sacridoro
was
made
sure
vnto
the
princesse
Oriselua
,
for
whose
sake
he
had
passed
great
misfortunes
and
troubles
.
And
the
prince
don
Lusindo
was
married
vnto
the
faire
Pinarda
,
at
which
marriage
,
ther
was
made
great
feasts
and
triumphs
in
all
the
kingdome
▪
And
héere
the
Historie
doth
leaue
them
till
time
doo
serue
.
How
the
three
Princes
,
Bargandel
,
Lyriamandro
,
and
the
Tartarian
Zoylo
,
went
vnto
Constantinople
,
whereas
they
gaue
vnderstanding
of
the
death
of
Rosicleer
.
FUL
of
sorrow
and
heauinesse
departed
the
princes
Bargandel
,
Lyriamandro
,
and
the
Ta●…tarian
Zoylo
,
out
of
the
kingdome
of
Fenici●…
for
the
losse
of
their
great
and
especiall
frien●…
Rosicleer
,
as
those
who
certainely
béeléeu●…
that
hée
was
dead
.
And
without
receiui●…
any
comfort
or
consolation
,
they
trauayled
many
daies
〈◊〉
Sea
,
till
in
the
ende
they
ariued
in
the
Empire
of
Grecia
whereas
they
vnderstood
of
all
that
had
passed
with
the
Emp●…
rour
Trebatio
,
and
the
Empresse
Briana
.
But
when
Ly●…
mandro
did
vnderstand
and
know
the
good
fortune
of
〈◊〉
sister
,
hée
did
therewith
mittigate
the
great
sorrow
that
〈◊〉
suffered
for
the
newes
hée
brought
.
And
hauing
a
great
〈◊〉
sire
to
sée
the
Empresse
,
and
to
know
the
Emperour
,
th●…
all
thrée
accorded
together
to
goe
vnto
Constantinople
.
A●…
in
that
time
the
fame
was
so
great
in
all
parts
,
of
the
knig●…
of
the
Chariot
,
that
in
what
place
wheresoeuer
they
ca●…
●…her
was
no
other
communication
but
of
him
,
&
of
his
great
prowesse
,
&
of
the
knightes
that
euery
day
he
did
ouerthrow
to
the
ground
.
And
by
reason
that
this
was
the
occasion
to
bring
vnto
their
remembraunce
,
the
high
bountie
of
their
friend
,
the
knight
of
Cupid
,
they
could
doe
no
other
thing
but
wéepe
&
sigh
,
with
great
sorrow
,
saying
to
themselues
,
that
if
they
had
him
in
their
company
,
they
might
get
honour
in
Constantinople
:
for
that
the
knight
of
the
chariot
could
not
be
of
so
high
a
courage
and
force
,
but
that
he
would
vnhorse
him
and
get
the
victorie
.
So
when
they
were
come
vnto
Constantinople
,
they
did
one
day
enter
into
the
great
place
,
at
such
time
as
it
was
full
of
knights
,
as
well
straungers
as
of
their
owne
country
.
And
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
had
ouerthrowen
the
worthiest
&
best
knights
that
wer
ther.
So
these
three
princes
did
proue
themselues
with
the
knight
of
the
chariot
,
but
he
ouerthrew
them
all
to
the
ground
.
But
first
they
had
broken
with
him
ech
of
them
thrée
two
speares
,
which
was
vnto
them
no
small
honour
,
for
that
vntill
that
time
,
there
was
not
one
knight
that
had
fastened
themselues
to
breake
two
speares
:
and
it
was
the
occasion
that
they
were
well
estéemed
of
all
the
beholders
.
And
so
without
any
more
staying
,
they
went
to
make
themselues
knowen
vnto
the
Emperour
,
&
to
the
Empresse
,
who
were
very
desirous
to
know
who
they
were
.
But
when
the
empresse
did
know
hir
brother
,
&
the
Emperour
was
informed
who
they
all
thrée
were
.
I
cannot
expresse
the
great
ioy
&
pleasure
,
which
they
receiued
,
at
their
comming
thether
,
&
according
there
vnto
they
gaue
them
entertainment
.
For
●…hat
the
desire
which
the
empresse
had
to
heare
newes
of
hir
brother
,
was
very
great
,
béecause
shée
loued
him
excéeding
well
,
&
likewise
to
know
somewhat
of
hir
sonne
Rosicleer
,
●…or
that
they
two
were
very
great
friends
.
And
as
it
is
a
●…hing
naturall
,
that
when
a
person
is
most
at
his
contented
●…oy
and
pleasure
,
in
this
life
:
sodainly
they
are
mixed
with
●…reat
sorrow
and
bitter
heauinesse
.
And
it
now
fell
out
,
for
●…hat
these
thrée
.
Princes
did
not
know
that
Rosicleer
was
son
vnto
the
Emperour
&
the
Empresse
Baiana
,
at
such
time
as
both
parties
were
in
the
chiefest
of
their
delight
▪
●…
receiued
great
contentment
.
Liriamandro
did
declare
all
that
happened
vnto
them
by
Rosicleer
,
&
of
his
great
strength
&
worthinesse
,
&
of
all
that
which
he
had
done
for
them
being
vnknowen
,
but
in
the
end
he
told
of
his
strange
&
dolorous
losse
,
&
in
what
sort
the
king
Sacridoro
did
throw
himselfe
after
him
&
was
s●…ke
downe
into
the
depth
of
that
fountaine
.
When
the
Empresse
vnderstood
this
of
hir
sonne
Rosicleer
,
she
thought
verily
to
haue
died
presently
,
with
the
great
sorrow
which
she
receiued
,
and
ther
with
she
fell
downe
to
the
ground
in
a
sound
.
Then
the
mightie
emperour
who
did
verie
well
vnderstand
the
occasion
,
did
vse
all
diligence
to
confort
hir
,
for
that
those
newes
were
a
corsie
vnto
his
heart
likewise
,
but
yet
dissembling
his
sorrow
,
with
great
courage
he
toke
the
empresse
in
his
armes
&
did
comfort
hir
all
that
euer
he
could
.
And
when
these
newes
were
published
through
out
all
the
citie
,
they
began
to
make
great
lamentation
,
in
such
sort
,
that
the
feasts
&
iusts
did
cease
&
stay
for
certaine
daies
.
Likewise
the
thrée
princes
were
very
sad
&
sorrowfull
that
they
had
brought
such
heauie
newes
,
&
their
great
sadnesse
&
〈◊〉
paine
did
increase
more
then
before
,
when
they
vnderstood
that
their
perfect
friend
Rosicleer
was
sonne
vnto
so
high
&
mighty
parents
,
as
also
so
nigh
kinsman
vnto
Bargandel
&
Liriamandro
.
So
they
remained
there
certaine
daies
,
whereas
the
Emperour
&
the
Empresse
did
them
much
honour
,
&
were
with
them
very
royally
entertained
,
and
for
that
the
two
princes
Bargandell
&
Liriamandro
had
great
desire
to
sée
their
loues
,
Rodasilua
&
Siluerina
,
in
one
night
very
secretly
they
departed
out
of
Constantinople
,
and
taking
the
way
towards
England
,
they
trauailed
till
they
came
vnto
a
part
of
the
Ocean
sea
which
was
in
Rone
,
&
ther
they
dyd
ship
themselues
&
came
into
England
,
wher
they
were
very
well
receiued
of
the
King
Oliuerio
:
&
béeing
asked
for
theyr
friend
Rosicleer
,
they
gaue
him
to
vnderstand
of
the
sorrowfull
lesse
of
him
,
for
whom
the
king
receiued
great
griefe
〈◊〉
sorrow
,
for
that
he
loued
him
very
well
.
But
when
the
newes
ca●…
vnto
the
vnderstanding
of
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
there
could
be
no
sorrow
equall
vnto
hirs
,
neither
any
tongue
so
eloquent
for
to
expresse
the
halfe
part
therof
,
for
that
the
did
loue
Rosicleer
more
then
hir
owne
selfe
,
and
at
that
present
death
had
ben
more
welcome
vnto
hir
then
such
sorrowfull
newes
,
so
that
at
the
sodaine
hearing
thereof
she
remained
one
whole
houre
without
any
remembrance
,
in
such
sort
that
she
séemed
rather
to
be
dead
then
aliue
.
And
when
she
came
vnto
h●…r
selfe
hir
sorrow
did
double
increase
,
and
in
a
more
deadlie
traunce
then
before
,
she
fell
downe
vpon
hir
bedde
,
wheras
she
lay
the
most
part
of
all
the
day
without
speaking
any
word
▪
till
such
time
as
a
damsell
that
was
with
hir
fearing
that
she
had
ben
dead
,
ran
&
told
the
king
,
who
straight
way
went
vnto
his
chamber
,
accompanied
with
many
knights
.
And
being
very
much
amazed
to
sée
his
daughter
in
that
case
,
he
procured
for
hir
many
remedies
,
by
which
this
faire
princesse
did
come
againe
vnto
hir selfe
,
although
hir
desire
was
rather
to
die
then
to
liue
.
And
séeing
hir selfe
in
the
presence
of
hir
father
&
of
so
many
knights
,
she
could
not
manifest
the
great
griefe
which
she
felt
in
hir
hart
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
hir
paine
was
the
more
.
And
it
is
to
be
beeléeued
that
at
that
present
she
had
died
,
if
God
had
not
preserued
hir
for
a
farther
benefit
more
then
she
did
hope
for
,
or
thinke
off
.
And
because
that
all
this
great
sorrow
&
griefe
of
the
princes
was
for
hir
more
glory
&
pleasure
in
time
to
come
.
The
History
doth

of
hir

Chapter

29.
THe
good
Lnight
Florinaldus
,
who
by
the
commaundement
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
went
in
the
quest
of
the
knightes
of
the
flower
d●…
Luses
,
&
trauailed
through
many
and
diuers
countries
,
till
such
time
as
he
came
into
the
kingdome
of
Fraunce
,
comming
at
length
vnto
a
bridge
,
which
was
vpon
the
riuer
Rodano
,
he
saw
two
knights
very
fierce
,
&
by
séeming
valiant
,
who
were
brethren
vnto
Brandafuriel
,
that
mighty
and
strong
Gyant
which
the
Prince
Clauerindo
,
slew
in
the
great
citie
of
Paris
,
and
they
were
come
vnto
that
place
for
no
other
occasion
but
to
kéepe
passage
,
&
to
doe
all
the
damage
they
could
vnto
the
king
Oristeo
&
his
knights
.
The
one
of
them
was
called
Crudamonte
,
&
the
other
Rocardo
,
being
of
their
bodies
&
lims
as
giants
,
&
they
had
in
that
place
taken
diuers
prisoners
,
&
slaine
many
knights
,
&
before
that
Florinaldus
did
passe
that
bridge
,
he
must
néeds
iust
with
one
of
them
,
&
his
fortune
was
such
,
that
by
the
strong
encounter
he
receiued
his
Horse
&
himself
fell
downe
to
the
ground
,
in
such
sort
that
one
of
his
legs
was
vnder
his
Horse
,
so
that
he
could
not
make
any
longer
battaile
,
&
the
mightie
Rocardo
,
which
was
he
that
made
the
iust
with
him
,
if
hée
had
not
imbraced
himselfe
about
his
Horse
necke
,
had
likewise
fallen
downe
to
the
ground
,
with
that
strong
encounter
which
hée
had
receiued
.
So
Florinaldus
was
taken
prisoner
,
&
put
into
fast
hold
,
but
it
was
not
long
after
that
the
newes
of
these
two
knights
came
vnto
,
the
court
of
the
king
Oristeo
,
&
being
vnderstood
by
the
two
princes
Clauerindo
&
Brandizel
,
they
in
great
secret
departed
from
the
court
to
make
combat
with
them
.
And
when
they
came
vnto
the
bridge
,
ther
was
betwixt
them
foure
a
very
fierce
and
stout
battell
,
in
which
the
two
Princes
found
themselues
greatly
perplexed
,
for
that
these
two
were
very
stout
&
valiant
knights
,
yet
for
all
that
the
goodnesse
of
their
armour
did
stand
them
in
great
stéed
,
&
againe
,
they
were
of
such
courage
,
that
in
the
end
they
got
the
victorie
,
and
slew
them
,
and
cut
off
their
heads
,
&
sent
them
vnto
the
king
Oristeo
,
&
requested
of
him
pardon
,
for
that
they
had
departed
without
lisence
,
certifieng
moreouer
,
that
they
were
gone
to
seeke
out
their
friend
the
knight
of
the
Sun
.
And
in
as
short
time
as
possibly
might
bee
they
would
returne
againe
vnto
the
court
.
Now
when
these
two
bretheren
were
dead
,
the
two
princes
did
set
at
liberty
all
the
prisoners
that
were
there
,
amongst
whom
was
Florinaldus
,
&
when
he
saw
the
deuise
of
the
slower
de
●…uses
,
he
straight
way
knew
that
those
wer
the
knights
,
in
whose
demaund
he
had
trauailed
.
And
therwith
he
went
vnto
them
,
&
declared
the
Embassage
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
.
And
when
they
vnderstood
the
same
,
if
ther
had
ben

them
all
the
world
,
at
that
present
they
could
not
haue
receiued
greater
pleasure
,
especially
after
that
Florinaldus
did
tell
them
all
that
he
had
done
in
the
Iland
of
Lindaraza
,
&
afterward
how
that
the
Emperour
Trebatio
entered
into
Hungaria
,
&
of
all
the
rest
.
So
that
these
two
princes
wer
as
men
amazed
to
heare
him
tell
of
those
high
&
mighty
deeds
,
and
thought
the
time
very
long
till
they
did
see
him
.
With
this
great
desire
they
all
departed
from
that
bridge
&
trauailed
till
they
came
vnto
Marsella

wheras
they

imbark
themselues
,

Chap.

VEry
great
&
solempne
feasts
were
celebrated
in
the
kingdome
of
Phenicia
,
at
the
marriage
of
the
valiaunt
and
well
esteemed
King
Sacridoro
,
and
the
Prince
Don
Lusindo
,
with
the
faire
Pinarda
,
and
also
for
●…o
giue
delight
and
pleasure
to
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
whom
they
did
honour
&
had
in
so
great
estimation
as
the
worthiest
&
most
valiant
knight
in
all
the
world
,
&
were
all
greatly
amazed
,
as
well
at
his
great
grace
&
vertue
,
as
at
his
bounty
and
strength
,
yet
notwithstanding
for
that
hée
had
alwaies
in
his
memorye
the
discurtesie
of
the
princesse
Oliuia
,
any
thing
whatsoeuer
hée
did
sée
could
not
make
him
merry
,
neither
giue
him
any
contentment
,
so
that
continually
he
was
very
sad
&
heauy
,
for
the
which
his
great
friend
the
King
Sacridoro
was
very
sorry
&
roceiued
great
griefe
,
for
that
hée
knew
from
whence
his
eui●…l
&
infirmitie
procéeded
,
&
did
comfort
him
as
much
as
possibly
he
could
,
in
saying
,
that
per
aduenture
the
princes
Oliuia
had
she
wed
him
that
discurtesie
,
for
that
she
did
not
know
who
it
was
,
&
that
it
did
not
agree
,
neither
was
it
requisite
for
hir
honour
to
shew
fauour
vnto
any
knight
,
except
he
were
a
king
or
prince
such
as
with
all
honour
&
maiestie
she
might
receiue
for
hir
spouse
,
but
(
said
he
)
possibly
when
she
knoweth
that
you
are
sonne
vnto
th●…
Emperour
Trebatio
&
the
Empresse
Briana
,
she
will
repent
&
change
hir
minde
,
and
that
he
was
such
a
Knight
as
that
princesse
Oliuia
should
receiue
great
delight
to
receiue
him
into
hir
seruice
.
And
then
hée
gaue
counsell
that
he
should
goe
into
Greece
,
&
make
himselfe
knowen
vnto
his
parents
,
&
from
thence
he
might
take
his
iourny
into
England
,
&
ther
to
proue
once
againe
his
fortune
.
And
in
saying
these
&
other
such
like
words
in
effect
,
this
good
king
Sacridoro
comforted
the
Knight
of
Cupid
.
And
after
that
the
feasts
&
triumphs
were
ended
,
he
said
that
he
would
depart
&
go
towards
the
empire
of
Greece
.
And
with
that
determination
he
asked
leaue
of
the
king
Sacridoro
,
but
he
which
bare
him
no
lesse
good
will
then
vnto
the
quéene
Oriselua
his
wife
,
sayd
,
that
in
no
manner
of
wise
he
would
consent
vnto
to
his
departure
,
except
he
were
in
his
company
,
for
that
he
would
beare
him
company
,
vntill
such
time
as
he
made
himselfe
knowen
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
his
father
,
but
the
knight
of
the
Sun
would
very
faine
haue
excused
that
iourney
,
saying
vnto
him
that
it
was
not
a
thing
that
beséemed
him
to
be
absent
at
that
present
time
from
his
country
,
being
new
married
,
for
that
possible
the
king
Polidarco
,
his
father
in
law
,
&
the
Quéene
Oriselua
his
wife
would
be
angry
,
but
all
that
did
profit
very
li●…le
,
for
the
king
was
determined
to
goe
with
him
,
and
although
hée
thought
againe
to
loose
all
his
kingdome
,
yet
would
he
not
leaue
his
company
.
So
that
the
Knight
of
Cupid
was
constrained
against
his
will
,
to
take
him
in
his
company
,
the
which
he
refused
,
thinking
that
the
king
Polidarco
,
&
the
Q●…éene
Oriselua
would
receiue
some
griefe
&
anger
for
his
departure
,
and
yet
hée
had
so
great
delight
in
his
familiaritie
&
friendship
,
that
it
séemed
vnto
him
in
all
his
life
time
he
neuer
met
with
a
knight
,
so
conform●…ble
vnto
his
,
neither
that
with
a
better
will
did
offer
vnto
him
friendship
.
And
although
at
time
he
did
refuse
his
company
,
yet
time
did
come
afterward
that
it
was
very
necessary
&
profitable
vnto
him
,
as
hée
reafter
shall
bee
tolde
you
in
this
History
.
And
for
that
the
king
Sacridoro
did
know
the
great
desire
the
Knight
of
Cupid
had
to
depart
,
talking
on
a
time
with
the
king
Polidarco
,
and
the
Quéene
his
wife
,
hée
gaue
them
to
vnderstand
how
that
the
Knight
of
Cupid
was
sonne
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
and
of
the
Empresse
Briana
,
and
how
that
hee
would
depart
toward
Grecia
,
to
make
himselfe
knowen
vnto
his
Father
,
for
which
cause
hée
could
not
but
beare
him
company
,
for
the
great
obligation
in
which
he
was
bound
vnto
him
,
and
did
desire
them
that
they
would
thinke
well
thereof
.
And
although
his
departure
grieued
them
very
much
,
yet
seeing
the
great
reson
that
he
had
,
they
answered
that
he
might
doe
as
he
thought
best
,
for
that
it
séemed
vnto
them
he
had
great
reason
therein
,
&
they
much
meruailed
that
the
Knight
of
Cupid
should
be
so
high
and
mightie
a
Prince
.
At
length
when
they
had
taken
their
leaue
of
them
and
of
the
Prince
Don
Lusindo
,
who
was
also
very
sorrowfull
for
their
departure
,
they
went
out
of
the
citie
,
&
trauailed
vnto
the
sea
coast
,
wher
they
did
imbarke
themselues
,
&
toke
the
way
towards
Grecia
,
wher●…
that
happened
vnto
them
which
shall
be
told
you
in
this
Chapter
following
.
Of
a
verie
fierce
and
perillous
battaile
which
the
Knight
of
Cupid
had
with
a
famous
giant
in
the
Grecian
Empire
.
Chap.
31.
THe
sorrow
&
griefe
was
very
much
which
was
in
the
whole
empire
of
Grecia
,
by
reason
of
the
newes
touching
the
death
of
Rosicleer
,
for
the
Emperour
did
commaund
,
that
for
the
space
of
one
moneth
all
mirth
&
pastimes
which
were
made
in
the
great
citie
of
Constantinople
,
whereas
were
so
many
&
excellent
knights
,
that
it
was
a
strange
thing
to
behold
.
Which
knights
not
hauing
any
thing
to
doe
,
some
departed
into
their
owne
countries
,
&
other
some
went
out
of
the
court
to
séeke
their
aduentures
in
the
Empire
,
till
such
time
as
the
month
was
passed
.
In
the
end
of
which
,
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
should
returne
to
defend
the
beautie
of
the
faire
princesse
Lindabrides
▪
so
that
at
that
time
the
citie
of
Constantinople
was
left
voide
,
and
all
the
land
of
the
Empire
full
of
Knights
,
as
well
strangers
as
naturalls
amongst
whom
there
did
not
lacke
to
bee
euerie
day
great
contentions
.
It
fell
out
in
this
time
that
ther
came
into
Grecia
a
mightie
great
&
famous
giant
called
Mandroco
,
who
was
Lord
of
Achia
,
which
was
an
Iland
ioyning
vnto
the
grecian
empire
,
of
so
great
force
&
strength
that
he
was
inuinsible
,
&
of
long
time
the
whole
countrie
of
Grecia
did
not
like
well
of
him
,
for
that
he
greatly
harmed
them
,
as
well
by
land
&
by
sea
,
and
as
this
mightie
Giaunt
heard
the
report
of
the
high
déedes
of
chi●…alrie
done
by
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
,
in
the
great
citie
of
Constantinople
,
and
likewise
of
the
great
safe
conduct
granted
by
the
Emperour
,
with
the
great
desire
he
had
to
proue
himselfe
with
him
,
and
to
make
manifest
his
mightie
force
and
strength
in
that
Court
,
he
passed
into
Grecia
,
and
came
thether
two
daies
after
the
demaund
of
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
,
and
béeing
determined
to
remaine
there
till
the
moneth
was
accomplished
,
hee
trauailed
in
the
Empire
,
and
with
what
knight
so
euer
hée
met
,
hée
should
not
depart
,
but
first
proue
himselfe
with
him
,
and
o●…
all
such
as
he
did
ouerthrow
to
the
ground
,
he
would
,
take
their
Horsses
from
them
,
and
when
hée
had
ioyned
a
great
number
together
,
hée
would
send
them
into
his
Iland
.
So
hée
béehaued
himselfe
,
that
in
space
of
twelue
daies
hée
had
euer
throwen
more
then
two
hund●…ed
Knights
,
and
all
their
Horses
were
his
and
for
that
they
did
finde
themselues
agreeued
,
many
of
those
Knights
did
make
theyr
complaint
vnto
the
Emperour
of
their
misvsing
,
who
receiued
so
great
sorrow
and
griefe
,
that
hée
him selfe
would
haue
gone
in
person
,
to
haue
proued
himselfe
against
him
,
if
the
Empresse
had
not
hindred
him
.
And
againe
,
calling
to
remembrance
the
safe
conduct
that
hée
had
graunted
vnto
all
Knights
,
hée
wo●…ld
not
send
any
people
against
him
,
for
that
hee
would
not
break
his
promise
.
So
that
hee
receiued
great
griefe
for
that
which
euery
day
was
tolde
him
of
that
gyant
.
And
his
great
name
and
fame
was
spread
throughout
all
that
Countrie
,
in
such
sort
,
that
many
Knight
did
procure
to
apart
himselfe
out
of
that
way
wheras
hée
went
,
and
vnto
all
Knights
his
name
was
terrible
,
and
they
said
that
in
all
the
world
there
was
not
a
Gyant
so
mighty
and
strong
.
And
trauayling
in
this
sort
,
it
so
fell
out
,
that
in
the
same
time
there
came
into
the
Countrie
of
Grecia
the
Knight
of
Cupide
,
and
the
good
King
Sacridoro
,
and
straight
waies
there
was
giuen
them
to
vnderstand
of
the
high
déedes
of
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
,
and
how
that
hée
remained
in
Constantinople
,
till
such
time
as
the
month
was
accomplished
,
for
to
returne
and
defend
the
beautie
of
the
fayre
Princesse
Lindabrides
.
Likewise
they
heard
the
great
complaints
which
was
made
of
the
mighty
Gya●…nt
Mandroco
.
The
Knight
of
Cupide
hauing
great
desire
to
méete
with
him
,
did
direct
his
way
toward
that
way
wheras
it
was
tould
him
that
hée
went
.
And
it
fell
out
one
day
that
as
hée
and
the
king
Sacridoro
did
passe
through
a
mighty
and
great
vsed
way
,
they
saw
the
giant
comming
the
same
way
,
with
more
then
thirty
of
his
owne
knights
,
which
bare
him
company
,
and
he
was
of
so
high
and
big
stature
,
that
he
did
appeare
aboue
all
the
rest
from
the
brest
vpwards
,
and
when
these
two
Knights
came
nigh
vnto
them
,
the
Gyaunt
dyd
béehould
them
,
and
liking
well
both
of
the
Knights
and
theyr
Horsses
,
〈◊〉
straight
waies
sayd
that
they
should
prepare
themselues
vnto
the
iust
with
him
,
one
to
one
,
or
both
together
,
which
their
pleasure
was
,
and
best
liked
them
.
Then
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
who
had
a
great
desire
to
proue
himself
with
the
giant
,
requested
the
King
Sacridoro
,
that
he
would
let
him
haue
the
first
battell
.
To
whom
he
answered
,
that
hée
should
doo
his
pleasure
,
although
hée
would
haue
béen
very
glad
first
to
haue
proued
his
owne
fortune
,
&
so
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
without
answering
any
word
,
went
and
put
himself
in
one
part
of
the
high
way
.
And
when
the
Gyaunt
saw
him
so
big
and
well
made
,
it
liked
him
well
,
and
laughed
vnto
himselfe
,
béecause
hée
would
iust
alone
with
him
,
and
might
profit
himselfe
with
his
companion
.
The
gyaunt
had
vnder
him
a
very
fayre
and
mighty
Horse
called
Rondarte
,
that
next
vnto
the
Horse
Cornerino
was
the
best
in
all
the
world
,
and
for
that
hee
was
so
mighty
and
strong
,
hée
trauailed
on
him
,
for
if
hée
had
not
beene
such
a
one
,
ther
were
no
horse
that
were
able
to
sustaine
and
suffer
him
,
for
that
hee
was
so
big
,
and
againe
the
great
waight
of
his
armour
which
was
more
,
and
béeing
on
Horseback
hée
had
a
mightie
great
&
big
speare
in
his
hand
of
so
great
waight
,
that
a
Knight
had
inough
to
doo
to
lift
it
from
the
ground
,
&
therwith
he
put
himselfe
right
against
the
knight
of
Cupid
,
in
the
presence
of
many
Knights
that
were
gathered
together
to
sée
what
should
passe
béetwixt
them
.
So
both
of
tham
did
broch
theyr
horses
with
their
spurs
,
with
so
great
fury
,
that
it
séemed
the
ground
wold
sincke
wheras
theyr
horsses
ran
.
So
they
met
together
,
and
made
theyr
encounter
,
which
was
with
so
great
strength
,
that
their
mightie
great
and
bigge
speares
dyd
flie
into
the
aire
all
in
shéeuers
,
and
the
Gyant
lost
his
saddle
,
and
had
a
great
fall
vnto
the
ground
,
but
the
Knight
of
Cupid
kept
his
course
forwards
on
,
somwhat
astonied
with
the
force
of
that
incounter
,
which
made
all
the
Knights
of
the
gyant
,
&
those
which
were
ther
gathered
together
to
sée
that
contention
,
and
all
those
which
had
séene
the
worthie
knight
of
the
Chariot
,
said
,
that
without
all
doubt
it
was
hée
,
and
that
hée
had
gone
abroad
with
other
armor
,
béecause
hée
would
not
bée
knowen
,
&
to
proue
himselfe
with
the
Gyant
,
for
that
in
his
gentle
disposition
,
and
great
force
&
strength
in
his
incounter
,
hée
did
resemble
him
very
much
.
So
when
this
mightie
Gyaunt
saw
himselfe
ouerthrowen
to
the
ground
,
hée
knew
not
whether
it
was
a
dreame
,
or
truth
which
hée
saw
,
hée
was
so
amazed
,
and
séemed
that
it
was
not
possible
that
hée
should
bée
ouerthrowen
,
and
his
enimie
remaine
in
his
saddle
,
whom
hée
saw
returning
back
againe
on
Horsback
,
and
when
hee
came
vnto
him
hée
sayd
.
It
is
great
right
and
reason
Gyant
,
that
thou
possessest
the
same
order
and
condition
that
thou
diddest
ordaine
for
them
,
with
whom
thou
hast
iusted
,
which
is
,
that
hée
who
so
euer
is
ouer
throwen
to
the
ground
,
to
loose
his
Horse
,
and
to
bée
his
o●…
whom
he
receiued
the
incounter
,
that
did
ouerthrow
him
.
Then
the
Gyant
did
looke
vpon
him
with
a
very
fierce
and
furious
countenance
,
that
it
séemed
ther
flew
out
of
his
eyes
great
lightning
and
sparckles
of
fire
,
and
●…ayde
.
Héere
I
doo
giue
and
yéelde
vnto
thée
my
Horse
,
for
that

won
him
,
but
I
wil
so
handle
thée
,
that
liuing

not

him
,
although
all
the
gods
doo
come
downe
frō●…eauen
to
aide
&
help
thée
.
And
in
saying
these
words
,
hée
a●…ose
from
the
ground
,
and
drew
out
a
very
great
and
heauy
●…auchon
that
he
had
at
his
side
&
went
towards
the
knight
●…f
Cupide
with
it
in
his
hands
,
who
would
not
abide
him
●…n
Horsback
,
but
with
great
lightnesse
hée
leapt
foorthwith
〈◊〉
his
Horse-backe
,
and
drew
out
his
sine
cutting
●…woord
which
hée
had
wonne
beefore
of
Candramarte
,
that
was
of
the
Quéene
Iulia
,
and
went
forth
with
the
same
in
his
hand
to
receiue
the
Gyant
,
and
as
they
met
to
strike
both
to gether
at
one
time
,
the
Knight
of
Cupid
did
stay
his
sword
in
the
aire
,
and
tarrte●…
till
such
time
as
the
Gyaunt
had
discharged
first
his
blow
and
at
such
time
as
his
great
Fauchon
did
descend
,
hée
leaped
on
the
one
side
with
great
lightnesse
,
that
his
blow
could
not
fasten
vppon
him
,
and
beeing
downe
,
hee
entered
into
him
with
a
stout
and
couragious
stomacke
,
and
giue
him
such
an
ouerthwart
blow
vpon
the
thigh
▪
that
hee
cut
both
armour
and
flesh
vnto
the
hard
bone
out
of
the
which
wound
there
issued
great
abundance
of
blood
.
The
Gyant
did
complaine
very
much
of
this
wound
,
and
beegan
with
a
great
noise
to
cry
out
against
the
heauens
,
and
with
great
ire
and
courage
hée
turned
againe
and
u●…t
vp
his
curting
fauchon
,
and
beecause
hée
would
not
misse
his
blow
,
hée
stroke
the
Knight
of
Cupid
ouerthwart
his
wast
with
so
great
fury
,
that
if
his
armour
had
not
béen
made
by
the
great
wisdome
of
Artemidoro
,
hée
had
cut
and
parted
him
in
two
peeces
.
And
therewith
hée
made
him
to
flie
on
the
one
side
more
then
six
paces
,
and
thought
verily
that
all
his
bones
had
béene
broken
,
and
beefore
that
hée
could
settle
himselfe
for
to
returne
against
him
to
giue
him
his
pa●…ment
,
this
great
and
mighty
Gyant
was
vpon
him
,
and
lift
vp
his
mighty
fauchon
,
and
would
haue
stroke
him
a
right
downe
blow
,
but
this
val●…ant
and
good
Knight
seeing
himselfe
in
so
great
extremity
,
with
soueraigne
courage
and
with
a
valiant
hart
,
&
strength
,
hee
let
loose
the
sword
out
of
his
hand
,
and
before
that
the
Gyant
could
execute
his
blow
,
for
that
hee
had
his
armes
all
a
high
,
hee
entered
in
with
him
,
and
embraced
him
with
his
strong
arm●…s
abou●…
his
wast
,
that
hee
made
him
to
loose
the
force
of
his
blow
and
with
so
great
strength
hée
charged
him
vpon
that
thig●…
which
was
wounded
,
that
sore
against
his
will
,
hee
ouer●…
threw
him
to
the
ground
,
who
fell
in
such
order
that
it
séemed
a
great
wall
had
fallen
downe
.
The
Gyant
when
h●…
saw
himselfe
vnder
foote
,
hee
did
force
himselfe
all
that
eue●…
hee
could
for
to
●…se
vp
againe
,
and
thrust
with
his
strong
armes
at
the
knight
of
Cupid
,
for
to
get
him
from
ouer
him
,
but
he
did
vse
so
great
policie
,
that
hée
did
recouer
his
sword
againe
which
dyd
hang
by
the
wrist
band
,
and
putting
the
point
therof
to
his
visor
of
his
helme
,
hée
thrust
it
in
therat
,
in
such
sort
that
hée
thrust
it
through
and
through
his
head
,
so
that
ther
was
slaine
that
great
and
famous
Giant
Mandroco
,
with
so
great
wonder
vnto
them
which
dyd
sée
him
slaine
,
as
though
he
had
béene
an
immortal
man
,
for
that
no
humane
strength
had
béen
sufficient
to
haue
slaine
him
.
And
when
his
knights
did
sée
him
lying
a
long
vpon
the
ground
and
dead
,
beeing
very
desirious
to
reuenge
the
death
of
their
Lord
,
they
all
together
did
assault
the
worthy
knight
of
Cupid
,
&
did
compasse
him
round
about
for
to
kill
him
.
So
when
the
valiant
king
Sacridoro
saw
his
very
friend
in
that
great
extremity
,
he
stroke
his
horse
with
his
spurs
,
and
put
himself
am●…gst
the
thickest
of
them
,
and
the
knight
of
Cupid
began
to
strike
vpon
his
enimies
,
in
such
sort
,
that
euery
blow
that
hée
●…oke
was
with
so
great
fury
,
that
either
hée
slew
one
,
or
ouerthrew
one
to
the
ground
.
And
the
king
Sacridoro
did
h●…lp
him
with
so
great
strength
,
that
more
then
six
he
ouerthrew
dead
to
the
earth
,
at
which
time
the
knights
that
were
there
gathered
together
for
to
sée
the
battell
,
when
they
saw
the
giant
dead
,
and
the
high
bounty
of
the
two
knights
,
more
then
twenty
of
them
returned
in
their
behalfe
,
so
that
in
a
little
time
after
that
they
came
to
help
them
,
the
knights
of
the
Gyant
were
all
slaine
,
and
all
those
receiued
great
contentment
and
pleasure
at
the
death
of
the
Gyant
,
for
that
they
were
all
amazed
&
had
great
feare
of
him
.
And
séeing
the
high
&
mighty
prowesse
of
the
knight
that
slew
him
,
they
were
all
very
desirous
to
know
him
,
and
so
some
of
them
dyd
●…oyne
themselues
together
,
and
did
desire
him
to
tell
them
his
●…ame
,
for
that
they
were
desirous
to
know
what
hée
was
●…hat
had
done
so
great
benefit
and
good
vnto
all
that
Countrie
.
Then
hée
surrendred
vnto
them
great
thankes
for
the
●…reat
ayde
and
succour
hée
had
receiued
at
their
hands
,
and
●…uld
vnto
them
that
hée
was
called
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
and
that
he
could
not
at
that
time
giue
them
any
farther
to
vnderstand
▪
〈◊〉
that
those
Knights
did
cease
from
troubling
him
any
farther
,
but
alwaies
▪
had
in
●…elofie
that
hée
should
be
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
,
for
that
in
all
things
he
did
resemble
him
very
much
.
So
when
that
the
knight
of
Cupid
and
the
king
▪
Sacridoro
departed
from
that
place
,
certaine
of
the
knights
which
were
ther
,
considering
the
great
contentment
and
pleas●…e
that
the
Emperour
and
all
his
court
would
receiue
,
for
the
death
of
that
Giant
.
Euen
dead
as
he
was
,
they
tooke
him
,
&
laid
him
ouerthwart
vpon
a
horse
,
in
the
saddle
,
but
by
reason
of
his
great
length
his
head
and
féet
did
traile
vpon
the
ground
,
and
in
that
sort
they
carried
him
vnto
Constantinople
,
hauing
great
ioy
&
pleasure
,
and
no
lesse
wonder
,
vnto
all
them
that
did
sée
him
.
And
when
they
came
vnto
Constantinople
,
they
made
representation
of
him
,
vnto
the
Emperour
,
&
declared
vnto
him
,
all
the
manner
how
and
in
want
order
the
Knight
of
Cupide
had
staine
him
,
how
was
not
a
little
amazed
,
&
séemed
vnto
him
that
the
Knight
which
had
done
that
acte
,
could
not
bée
but
of
great
&
excéeding
valour
,
for
that
the
giant
was
of
great
strength
and
force
:
and
that
there
was
not
one
of
so
great
name
&
fame
amongst
all
the
Ilands
of
the
Terreno
sea
.
So
the
Emperour
had
great
desire
to
sée
&
know
him
,
for
that
by
the
signes
&
tokens
which
hée
vnderstood
of
him
,
it
gaue
him
in
his
minde
,
that
hée
should
bée
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
:
Whom
hée
had
a
great
desire
to
see
,
&
very
much
marueled
that
hée
came
not
thether
,
according
vnto
his
promise
.
So
in
this
sort
the
fame
of
the
knight
of
Cupid
,
began
to
be
knowen
throughout
all
the
whole
Empire
of
Greece
.
And
after
that
the
Gyant
was
slayne
,
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
neither
the
king
Sacridoro
,
wold
not
enter
into
Constantinople
,
till
such
time
as
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
did
returne
to
defend
the
beauty
of
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
but
trauailed
in
that
Countrie
certaine
daies
,
in
the
which
they
dyd
many
déedes
of
great
Chiualrie
,
whereby
their
fame
did
increase
,
in
such
sort
,
that
there
was
no
other
communication
,
but
of
them
:
likewise
there
was
great
contencion
growne
amongst
many
,
which
of
the
two
Knights
,
hée
of
Cupid
,
or
he
of
the
Chariot
,
should
be
the
best
proporcioned
and
strongest
Knight
:
and
all
in
generall
had
great
desire
to
sée
them
both
together
in
battaile
,
the
one
against
the
other
.
And
did
béeléeue
very
certainely
,
that
they
two
were
the
best
Knights
that
were
in
all
the
world
.
How
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
returned
to
defend
the
beautie
of
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
in
the
mightie
Citie
of
Constantinople
,
whereas
happened
very
strange
things
.
Chap.
31.
AT
such
tyme
as
was
accomplished
the
Mooneth
that
the
Emperour
had
commanded
the
triumphs
and
feasts
to
cease
,
for
the
death
of
his
Son
Rosicleer
.
Straight
way
the
great
citie
of
Constantinople
,
began
againe
to
be
furnished
with
al
sorts
of
worthy
&
va●…aliant
knights
,
as
well
strangers
of
their
natiue
countrie
,
who
had
trauailed
throughout
that
countrie
,
to
passe
away
the
time
of
the
Emperours
commandement
.
So
for
to
prooue
the
aduentures
with
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
,
and
other
some
to
sée
his
mighty
Knighthood
.
So
the
first
day
that
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
entred
into
the
place
,
hée
ouerthrew
more
than
twenty
knights
,
such
as
were
very
famous
,
&
came
▪
from
far
countries
,
for
to
proue
themselues
with
him
.
The
Emperour
and
the
Empresse
were
in
the
windowes
of
theyr
great
●…allaice
,
with
so
sad
and
sorrowfull
semblant
,
that
it
did
well
appeare
in
them
,
the
great
griefe
which
they
receiued
,
for
the
●…eath
of
their
sonne
.
And
béeing
in
this
Iust
,
there
entred
●…nto
the
place
thrée
worthy
Knights
,
of
a
strong
and
big
proportion
,
and
armed
with
very
rich
armour
,
wrought
and
●…rauen
with
great
cost
.
The
which
were
straight
wayes
●…nowen
,
by
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
,
in
the
deuice
which
●…ey
brought
:
And
were
ioyfull
of
their
comming
,
for
that
●…ese
thrée
knights
were
the
two
valiant
princes
Brandizel
,
Clauerindo
,
&
his
!
friend
Florinaldos
,
who
were
come
in
the
demaund
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
.
And
when
they
heard
the
great
report
and
fame
of
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
,
they
came
thether
to
prooue
themselues
with
him
,
and
so
they
entered
into
the
great
place
,
and
Florinaldus
was
the
first
that
put
himselfe
against
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
.
And
at
such
time
as
hée
should
make
his
encounter
,
the
knight
dyd
lift
vp
the
point
of
his
speare
because
hee
would
not
strike
Florinaldus
,
but
yet
Florinaldus
made
his
encounter
with
so
great
strength
,
that
he
shéeuered
his
speare
al
to
péeces
,
&
either
of
them
passed
the
one
by
the
other
,
without
any
moouing
.
So
then
they
returned
to
make
the
second
encounter
,
and
looke
as
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
did
the
first
encounter
,
so
hée
did
now
likewise
againe
,
because
he
would
not
hurt
him
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
Florinaldus
did
plainely
vnderstand
that
his
aduersary
would
not
encounter
against
him
,
and
ther
with
he
did
a
part
himselfe
from
the
place
of
iust
,
meruailing
very
much
at
the
great
curtesie
which
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
did
vse
with
him
.
So
straight
way
entered
into
the
iust
that
stout
and
valiant
Brandizel
,
but
to
conclude
,
it
happened
with
him
as
with
the
prince
Clauerindo
,
as
it
happened
with
Florinaldus
,
so
that
they
were
constrained
to
withdraw
themselues
all
thrée
halfe
abashed
,
for
the
little
profit
that
did
procéed
o●…
their
encounters
,
and
no
lesse
meruailed
at
the
great
curtesie
wich
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
did
vse
with
them
,
for
th●…
which
they
conceiued
within
themselues
that
hée
should
b●…
their
great
friend
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
for
that
in
his
de●…
meanour
in
all
points
hée
did
resemble
him
very
much
,
and
againe
,
that
setting
him
a
part
,
that
there
was
not
in
al
th●…
world
a
knight
of
so
great
power
and
strength
.
At
that
tim●…
that
the
great
place
was
al
couered
with
people
and
arme●…
knights
,
on
the
one
side
thereof
they
saw
enter
in
a
might●…
knight
of
his
body
,
and
mounted
vpon
a
very
faire
&
grea●…
Horse
,
and
was
armed
with
so
precious
and
rich
armour
that
amongst
all
the
knights
there
was
not
the
like
,
excep●…
the
armour
of
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
,
hée
brought
wi●…
him
thrée
Damsells
,
all
mounted
vpon
their
palfrayes
,
a●…
brought
with
them
certaine
fardels
.
Likewise
a
very
foule
&
ill
fau●…ed
dwarffe
,
which
caried
his
speare
&
shield
.
And
being
within
the
place
,
he
turned
his
Horse
head
,
●…
went
&
put
himselfe
nigh
vnto
the
triumphant
Chariot
,
wheras
he
beegan
to
behold
&
to
vew
that
precious
&
faire
princes
,
Lindabrides
,
who
receiued
great
pleasure
,
in
beholding
the
great
&
mighty
valour
of
hir
knight
.
So
after
that
he
had
vewed
hir
a
good
space
,
he
departed
from
thence
,
&
went
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
,
and
saluting
him
very
curteously
,
he
said
:
of
a
truth
worthy
knight
,
the
great
beauty
of
this
precious
princesse
,
doth
far
exceed
.
And
that
you
haue
great
reson
to
detend
the
same
.
Notwithstanding
,
I
doe
know
a
damsell
,
very
strange
&
far
from
this
country
,
that
if
you
did
see
hir
,
doubtlesse
she
would
seeme
vnto
you
to
be
of
no
lesse
beauty
,
then
the
princes
.
This
cannot
be
said
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
,
for
that
the
princes
Lindabrides
my
mistresse
,
doth
excéed
in
fairenesse
&
beautie
and
like
good
grace
,
all
the
damsels
,
ladies
and
gentlewomen
,
that
are
in
all
the
world
.
And
this
will
I
affirme
and
defend
against
all
such
,
as
shall
say
the
contrary
.
Upon
the
proofe
thereof
,
said
the
Knight
,
I
will
Iust
with
you
.
And
possibly
I
will
make
you
to
know
the
contrary
:
the
which
he
did
very
well
accomplish
and
performe
,
although
there
were
many
that
did
laugh
at
him
.
So
when
hee
had
sayd
these
wordes
,
the
straunge
Knight
toke
of
the
dwarfe
his
speare
and
shield
which
he
brought
,
and
with
a
very
wrathfull
and
strange
semblaunce
,
he
put
himselfe
on
the
one
side
of
the
Iust
,
the
knight
of
the
chari●…t
dyd
the
like
,
and
béegan
to
take
their
course
together
with
great
force
and
strength
.
And
in
the
middest
of
their
●…ourse
,
they
made
a
very
great
&
mightie
encounter
,
brea●…ing
their
speares
,
&
shiuering
them
all
in
splinters
,
without
any
mension
or
mouing
in
their
saddles
,
or
doing
any
more
harme
,
but
passed
their
course
forwards
with
great
〈◊〉
.
And
returned
and
made
their
second
encoun●…er
,
where
at
the
straunge
Knight
lost
his
stirrops
,
and
the
●…eanes
of
his
horse
fell
out
of
his
hand
,
and
did
somewhat
decline
him selfe
in
his
saddle
:
yet
for
all
this
he
ran
forwards
on
his
course
,
&
quickly
recouered
himself
againe
,
although
very
sore
troubled
,
&
no
lesse
amazed
at
that
mighty
&
strong
encounter
which
he
had
receiued
.
The
knight
of
the
Sun
did
follow
his
course
,
&
kept
himselfe
vpright
,
although
it
seemed
vnto
him
,
that
to
be
the
strongest
encounter
,
that
euer
he
receiued
vnto
that
time
,
&
had
that
strange
knight
in
great
estima●…ion
.
And
béeing
determined
to
make
the
third
encounter
,
&
ready
to
take
their
course
,
ther
entred
into
the
middest
of
the
place
,
a
dwarffe
,
the
least
&
the
most
ill
fauoredst
that
euer
was
seene
,
who
came
riding
vpon
a
roane
Horse
,
&
brought
in
his
hands
two
speares
all
g●…lt
,
&
maruailosly
well
made
,
&
went
directly
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
and
giuing
vnto
him
one
of
those
speares
he
said
.
This
speare
is
sent
vnto
you
by
a
wise
man
,
who
hath
great
desire
to
serue
you
,
&
doth
send
it
you
,
for
to
iust
with
this
Knight
who
is
before
you
.
And
he
doth
giue
you
to
vnderstand
,
that
therwith
you
shall
make
such
an
entounter
,
that
all
the
force
and
strength
thereof
,
shall
returne
against
your selfe
,
&
shall
passe
through
your
mighty
&
stout
hart
,
and
death
shall
first
conclud
with
you
,
before
that
wound
be
healed
.
And
when
he
had
said
these
words
,
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
did
receiue
the
speare
,
&
was
very
much
amazed
at
the
words
that
he
heard
spoken
.
And
without
any
more
saying
,
the
dwarffe
departed
from
him
,
&
went
vnto
the
strange
Knight
,
&
gaue
vnto
him
the
other
speare
which
he
brought
,
&
said
:
This
speare
a
wise
man
doth
send
it
vnto
you
for
to
iust
with
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
he
doth
giue
thee
to
vnderstand
,
that
at
this
encounter
thou
shalt
ouercome
thy
contrary
,
&
shalt
make
him
to
lose
the
name
which
now
he
hath
,
&
thou
shalt
remaine
wounded
for
euer
.
And
when
he
had
made
an
end
of
saying
these
words
,
not
staying
any
longer
,
but
strake
his
Horse
with
his
whip
,
&
returned
the
way
back
againe
,
wher
he
came
.
And
all
men
remained
very
much
amazed
:
but
much
more
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
&
the
strange
knight
,
&
could
not
vnderstand
to
what
end
those
words
were
spoken
,
but
left
their
speares
which
they
had
&
toke
the
speares
which
the
Dwarffe
had
brought
them
,
and
spurring
their
Horses
they
began
to
run
one
against
another
with
great
fury
,
&
in
the
midst
of
their
swift
course
,
at
such
time
as
all
people
did
behold
them
,
&
loking
what
should
bée
the
end
of
their
encounter
:
the
two
worthy
knights
did
encounter
very
strongly
together
,
&
eyther
of
them
chanced
to
strike
one
another
vpon
the
beauers
of
their
helmes
.
Now
whether
it
was
hap
or
fortune
,
or
whether
those
guilt
speres
did
work
by
art
or
instuence
,
,
I
know
not
,
but
both
these
knights
did
fall
backwards
,
&
strok
their
heads
vpon
their
horses
croupers
,
&
the
lasings
of
both
their
helmes
did
faile
,
&
they
fell
from
their
heads
.
But
straight
way
they
setled
themselues
vpright
againe
,
&
as
you
see
that
shining
Sun
&
the
faire
Diana
,
when
they
doe
appeare
:
euen
so
séemed
the
faces
of
these
two
knights
,
for
that
the
knight
of
the
Sun
did
shew
that
perfect
&
seuere
countenance
,
which
vntill
that
time
not
one
that
was
in
all
that
place
had
seene
.
And
of
the
other
part
,
the
strange
knight
did
séeme
to
be
the
soueraine
,
&
without
comparison
in
beauty
,
that
faire
,
Claridiana
,
whose
Rubicomde
haire
which
séemed
to
bée
of
fine
gold
fell
loose
&
spred
about
hir
eares
,
&
hanged
ouer
all
hir
backe
,
parted
in
the
midst
,
as
though
it
had
ben
don
by
a
compasse
,
showing
hir
celestiall
face
,
which
seemed
vnto
all
people
,
to
be
some
diuine
creature
.
What
should
I
say
vnto
that
faire
Medusa
who
did
transport
men
into
stones
,
yet
was
shee
not
to
be
compared
to
this
royall
princesse
,
who
with
hir
celestiall
&
faire
countenance
did
put
all
those
that
were
in
that
place
,
in
great
&
strange
admiration
,
&
almost
astomed
and
amazed
,
not
beléeuing
to
the
contrary
,
but
it
should
bee
some
diuine
vision
:
So
that
the
faire
Pincesse
Lindabrides
could
not
with
much
reason
blame
hir
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
if
that
hée
were
wounded
by
that
mighty
&
strong
blow
,
&
that
the
true
&
perfect
loue
which
hée
bare
vnto
hir
,
should
bée
somewhat
troubled
.
for
that
the
force
thereof
was
such
,
that
he
was
not
able
to
make
any
resistance
,
but
that
his
hart
was
clouen
asonder
in
the
midst
,
&
the
one
halfe
remained
rotted
as
before
it
was
.
And
the
other
half
he
did
yéeld
vnto
that
soueraigne
princes
that
was
before
him
.
So
straight
way
when
he
felt
himselfe
wounded
,
he
considered
of
the
words
which
the
dwarfe
had
spoken
,
&
knew
that
they
fel
out
to
be
true
,
not
knowing
what
to
say
vnto
that
straunge
aduenture
which
happened
vnto
him
.
But
when
the
royal
princes
did
sée
that
pleasant
countenaunce
,
whose
all
onely
picture
did
wound
hir
vnto
the
hart
,
&
made
hir
to
come
into
those
parts
,
the
ioy
&
pleasure
which
she
receiued
,
I
am
not
able
to
expresse
:
and
hir
loue
did
the
more
increase
,
for
that
it
seemed
vnto
hir
,
that
by
a
great
deale
,
that
royall
presence
that
she
had
before
hir
,
might
be
compared
vnto
the
figure
which
she
saw
in
the
mountaines
of
Oligas
.
Then
the
knight
of
the
Sun
went
vnto
hir
&
said
,
worthy
gentlewoman
,
shew
vs
I
pray
you
so
much
〈◊〉
,
as
to
tell
vnto
vs
,
who
you
are
:
for
that
according
vnto
the
strange
things
which
we
do
sée
in
you
,
we
cannot
beléeue
to
the
contrary
,
but
that
you
do
desend
from
the
heauens
,
and
that
you
are
the
diuine
goddesse
Palas
,
of
whose
sight
,
I
should
thinke
my selfe
happie
,
if
feare
did
not
put
me
in
doubt
to
obtaine
so
great
glory
.
Then
the
princes
with
a
merry
and
cherefull
countenaunce
,
did
answere
him
and
said
.
Worthie
knight
,
your
great
valour
doth
constraine
and
force
mée
to
giue
you
to
vnderstand
of
all
that
you
doe
aske
,
although
when
I
came
vnto
this
court
it
was
with
intent
,
not
to
giue
my selfe
to
bée
knowen
.
You
shall
vnderstand
that
I
am
called
Claridiana
,
and
I
am
daughter
vnto
the
Emperour
of
Trapisond
,
and
of
the
Empresse
his
wife
,
who
in
hir
time
did
exercise
military
knighthood
:
&
for
that
the
great
fame
of
your
high
prowesse
doth
so
far
extend
in
the
world
,
I
departed
out
of
Trapisond
for
to
come
into
these
parts
,
not
for
any
other
purpose
,
but
to
proue
my selfe
with
you
.
And
now
I
doe
thinke
my
trauaile
well
bestowed
that
I
haue
taken
,
for
that
I
doe
know
so
mightie
&
strong
a
knight
.
Oh
what
great
ioy
&
contentment
did
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
receiue
when
he
heard
these
words
,
as
well
for
that
hee
did
know
who
she
was
,
as
also
that
she
was
a
humane
damsell
,
wheron
he
might
occupie
his
thoughts
,
&
likewise
the
great
honour
that
she
did
vnto
him
〈◊〉
saying
that
his
sonne
had
brought
hir
thether
.
And
as
he
would
haue
made
an
answere
,
at
the
same
instant
came
thether
the
mightie
Emperor
Trebatio
,
who
as
sone
as
he
knew
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
in
great
hast
he
withdrew
himselfe
from
the
window
&
came
vnto
him
.
When
the
knight
of
the
Sun
saw
him
comming
,
with
a
trice
he
alighted
from
his
Horse
,
&
knéeling
downe
before
him
he
demanded
his
hands
to
kisse
them
,
crauing
pardon
for
that
he
did
not
before
that
time
make
himselfe
to
be
knowen
.
The
mighty
Emperour
did
imbrace
him
with
entire
affection
,
shewing
vnto
him
so
great
ioy
&
pleasure
,
as
though
he
had
knowen
him
to
be
his
son
,
&
hauing
him
in
his
armes
,
he
said
.
My
friend
,
how
could
your
hart
suffer
so
long
time
to
refraine
to
speake
vnto
me
,
for
certainly
●…ccording
vnto
the
great
desire
which
I
haue
had
to
sée
you
,
&
the
great
care
that
I
haue
had
of
your
so
long
absence
,
doth
make
mée
say
that
you
haue
done
me
great
wrong
,
in
not
discouering
your selfe
vnto
me
in
all
this
time
that
you
haue
ben
héere
.
My
Lord
,
answered
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
I
do
acknowledge
my
errour
wherin
I
haue
erred
,
yet
I
am
worthy
to
be
pardoned
of
your
highnesse
,
for
that
loue
hath
ben
the
occasion
héereof
,
&
it
may
please
your
highnesse
to
speake
vnto
this
damsell
,
who
is
the
soueraigne
princesse
Claridiana
,
&
daughter
vnto
the
emperour
of
Trabisond
.
When
the
emperour
vnderstood
therof
,
for
that
before
he
knew
nothing
,
being
very
much
amazed
,
he
went
towards
hir
.
When
the
princesse
saw
them
comming
,
she
did
alight
from
hir
horse
,
&
receiued
them
both
with
a
meruailous
,
great
,
&
dutifull
reuerence
.
And
the
emperour
began
first
to
speake
vnto
hir
,
and
said
.
Since
when
did
my
desert
deserue
to
see
in
my
Court
so
great
goodnesse
&
honour
:
certainly
I
shall
neuer
be
able
to
doe
seruice
vnto
God
,
for
to
gratifie
this
great
curtesie
.
My
Lord
answered
the
princes
,
the
great
valour
of
your
person
,
&
the
mightinesse
of
this
your
Court
doth
deserue
,
that
all
the
rest
of
the
princes
in
the
world
should
come
to
serue
you
:
&
I
for
my
part
doe
account
my selfe
happy
to
find
my selfe
héere
,
whereas
is
ioyned
together
all
the
worthines
of
the
whole
world
.
So
after
that
these
&
many
other
words
had
passed
betwixt
them
,
they
all
thrée
together
went
towards
the
great
pallace
,
&
when
they
came
thether
,
the
empresse
Briana
was
aduertised
,
how
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
&
the
princesse
Claridiana
were
ther
,
who
with
great
ioy
and
pleasure
went
forth
to
méet
them
,
wheras
the
Empresse
did
imbrace
the
princesse
with
great
loue
,
and
ther
passed
betwixt
them
words
of
great
curtesie
.
Likewise
the
empresse
entertained
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
as
he
knéeled
down
before
hir
for
to
kisse
hir
hands
,
the
empresse
did
take
him
by
the
hand
,
&
made
him
to
arise
vp
,
&
as
in
his
semblance
he
did
resem●…le
very
much
hir
son
Rosicleer
,
as
well
in
hir
face
,
as
in
the
proportion
and
disposition
of
his
person
,
the
teares
issued
from
hir
eyes
,
for
that
it
gaue
hir
occasion
to
remember
hir
lost
sons
,
&
giuing
a
great
sigh
,
she
said
within
hir
sel●…e
:
Oh
that
if
God
were
so
pleased
to
vse
so
great
curtesie
vnto
me
,
as
that
this
knight
were
one
of
my
sonnes
.
And
with
hir
tender
hart
ouercome
with
sorrow
,
she
said
:
Gentle
knight
,
I
finde
my selfe
very
much
grieued
,
because
you
haue
ben
so
many
daies
héere
in
this
court
,
&
that
neither
the
emperour
my
lord
nor
I
haue
knowen
you
,
for
that
many
daies
we
haue
tarried
&
looked
for
you
,
as
for
one
vnto
whom
we
are
most
bound
vnto
in
this
world
.
This
my
fault
,
said
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
your
highnesse
pleasure
may
bee
,
to
impute
it
vnto
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
who
hath
ben
the
occasion
therof
,
for
that
in
nothing
I
could
take
greater
delight
,
then
to
come
&
serue
my
Lord
the
emperour
,
&
your
highnesse
.
With
these
&
such
like
words
they
entred
into
the
great
pallace
,
&
comming
into
a
great
&
faire
Hall
,
the
empresse
sa●…e
downe
on
the
one
side
with
the
princesse
Claridiana
,
&
the
emperour
with
the
knight
of
the
Sun
sa●…e
downe
on
the
other
side
of
the
hall
,
whereas
the
one
did
declare
vnto
the
other
the
whole
discourse
of
all
that
happened
vnto
them
,
after
such
time
as
they
parted
a
〈◊〉
in
the
kingdome
of
Hungaria
,
&
either
of
them
receyued
great
pleasure
to
heare
one
another
.
In
this
time
the
faire
princes
Lindabrides
,
who

neither

any
contentment
,
for
hauing
seene
the
soueraigne
beauty
and
great
maiestie
of

princesse
Claridiana
,
which
seemed
vnto
hir
to
surmount

passe
any
humane
iudgement
or
vnderstanding
,
she
waxed
very
heauy
of
Hart
&
sorrowfull
,
which
caused
to
ingender
in
hir
many
●…ealous
thoughts
,
&
complayned
against
hir
gods
&
nature
,
for
that
they
created
so
great
beauty
&
maiesty
in

damsell
,
&
began
somwhat
to
suspect
the
new
amorous
passions
of

So
being
very
sad
&
heauy
,
&
no

at

she
arose
vp
from

into

&
threw
hir selfe
vpon

Chapter
.
33.
AFter
that
the
Emperour
Terbatio
and
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
had
béetwixt
them
declared
the
whole
discourse
of
all
that
which
had
happened
,
as
well
of
the
one
as
of
the
other
,
the
Emperour
was
very
desirous
that
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
should
remaine
and
lodge
within
the
pallace
,
but
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
a●…swered
,
that
by
no
meanes
he
could
doe
to
the
contrary
,
but
kéepe
company
with
the
princesse
Lindabrides
,
till
such
time
as
was
accomplished
the
two
moneths
that
he
should
defend
hir
beauty
,
&
at
such
time
as
he
should
take
his
leaue
of
them
,
he
was
in
a
great
confusion
of
himselfe
,
not
knowing
which
way
or
how
he
might
returne
vnto
his
demaund
without
offence
vnto
his
mistres
the
Princesse
Claridiana
,
whom
he
loued
with
all
his
Hart
,
and
being
in
hir
presence
,
ther
remained
in
him
no
memory
of
the
princesse
Lindabrides
.
Being
in
this
confusion
within
himselfe
,
not
knowing
what
to
doe
,
the
royall
princesse
Claridiana
,
who
was
not
a
little
ioyfull
to
sée
him
in
hir
presence
,
spake
vnto
him
&
said
:
It
shall
be
very
requisit
(
worthy
knight
)
that
you
doe
returne
vnto
your
demaund
,
for
according
vnto
the
iustice
that
you
haue
of
the
princesse
Lindabrides
,
I
doe
thinke
it
ended
.
Then
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
who
was
not
a
little
ioyfull
when
he
heard
these
words
,
answered
saying
:
Soueraigne
Lady
,
my
demaund
is
brought
to
a
conclusion
,
for
that
you
haue
made
an
end
thereof
,
getting
the
victory
of
mee
by
the
strength
of
your
rigorous
arme
,
in
making
me
to
acknowledge
the
contrary
,
in
béeholding
your
excellent
beautie
.
Then
the
princes
said
,
not
for
that
I
haue
any
vantage
of
you
in
prowesse
,
for
that
vnto
all
people
it
is
knowen
to
the
contrary
,
and
looke
how
far
you
doe
excéede
mée
in
chiualry
,
so
far
doth
the
faire
Princesse
ezcéed
mee
in
beauty
,
neyther
haue
I
done
any
thing
which
should
bée
the
occasion
to
disturbe
you
,
that
you
goe
not
forwards
with
your
demaund
.
This
will
not
I
doe
,
except
you
will
commaund
me
,
sayd
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
.
And
as
hee
stoode
in
contention
,
not
for
to
goe
without
hir
lisence
,
the
Princesse
Claridiana
did
〈◊〉
great
pleasure
therin
,
although
to
the
contrary
shée
was
so
high
minded
,
that
although
the
worthy
knight
of
the
Sunne
doth
defend
the
beautie
and
gentle
disposition
of
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
yet
shée
receyued
no
griefe
for
the
same
,
béecause
shée
knew
very
well
,
and
vnto
all
other
it
was
manifest
,
the
great
aduantage
that
shée
had
of
hir
,
and
whatsoeuer
affection
the
worthy
Knight
of
the
Sun
did
beare
vnto
hir
,
was
not
sufficient
to
make
hir
acknowledge
the
same
.
And
this
was
the
occasion
that
shée
had
so
great
trust
in
the
knight
of
the
Sun
.
And
afterwar●…
it
fell
so
out
,
that
this
confidence
did
bring
hir
almost
to
the
point
of
death
,
and
shée
said
vnto
him
:
Ualiant
and
worthie
Knight
,
I
shal
receiue
great
courtesie
in
that
you
doo
accomplish
that
which
I
haue
desired
you
,
&
if
it
be
but
onely
reioyce
my selfe
in
your
high
and
mighty
Knighthood
,
so
that
you
shall
doo
mée
great
pleasure
to
returne
vnto
your
accustomed
demand
.
Heer
with
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
dyd
take
his
leaue
of
hir
,
and
of
the
Emperour
&
Empresse
,
and
mounting
vpon
his
Horse
,
he
went
out
of
the
pallace
with
great
desire
to
speake
with
the
two
princes
Brandizel
&
Clauerindo
,
who
were
with
Florinaldus
adiding
his
comming
.
So
when
he
came
into
the
place
,
hée
went
straight
vnto
them
&
lead
them
into
a
secret
Chamber
within
the
Chariot
,
whereas
they
made
themselues
knowen
the
one
vnto
the
other
,
where
they
embraced
the
one
the
other
with
great
delight
,
as
those
which
loued
together
like
vnto
perfect
frinds
.
And
with
the
great
desire
they
had
to
sée
one
another
,
they
remained
a
gret
while
embraced
beefore
any
of
them
could
speake
,
but
after
that
they
were
somewhat
quyeted
,
the
two
Princes
Brandizel
and
Chaueryndo
dyd
giue
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
to
vnderstand
all
that
euer
they
had
passed
,
after
such
time
as
they
were
seperated
at
the
sea
.
And
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
did
declare
the
like
vnto
them
.
Wherein
they
passed
all
that
day
till
night
drew
on
,
at
such
time
as
the
knight
of
the
Sun
would
goe
and
speake
with
the
Princesse
.
And
so
hée
tooke
his
leaue
of
them
in
saying
that
hee
would
returne
againe
straight
waies
.
The
two
Princes
and
Florinaldus
dyd
remaine
lodged
in
one
part
of
the
Chariot
,
wheras
they
were
prouided
for
of
all
things
necessarie
for
them
.
The
Knight
of
the
Sunne
who
went
to
speake
with
the
Princesse
,
found
hir
in
hir
Chamber
sitting
in
a
Chayre
,
where
shée
slept
,
and
leaning
hir
head
vpon
hir
hand
.
There
was
two
torches
of
〈◊〉
burning
in
hir
Chamber
,
at
the
light
wherof
shee
béeing
a
sleepe
,
seemed
so
faire
and
beautyfull
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
seeing
hir
,
it
was
the
occasion
that
his
〈◊〉
lou●…
〈◊〉
renue
againe
,
in
such
sort
,
that
hee
had
cleane
forgot
the
Princesse
Claridiana
,
and
so
hée
stood
still
a
good
while
and
did
beehould
hir
,
and
séemed
vnto
him
that
ther
was
not
the
like
thing
to
bée
desired
in
all
the
world
,
and
béeing
in
this
thought
,
the
faire
Princesse
did
awake
,
and
when
thée
●…aw
the
Knight
bée●…ore
hir
,
shée
was
very
ioyfull
for
the
same
,
yet
for
all
that
with
a
very
sad
&
〈◊〉
semblaunce
shee
spake
vnto
him
,
saying
:
What
hath
beene
the
occasion
of
a
thing
so
straunge
vnto
mée
,
worthy
Knight
,
that
you
haue
not
come
to
see
mée
all
this
day
?
My
Lady
and
mistresse
(
said
the
knight
of
the
Sun
)
the
renuing
of
acquaintance
with
the
Emperour
,
and
with
other
of
my
friends
,
hath
béene
the
occasion
thereof
.
And
the
Gods
doth
kn●…w
how
I
shuld
haue
receiued
much
more
contentment
,
if
I
had
remained
in
your
presence
.
My
presence
wold
little
haue
profited
you
,
sayd
the
Princesse
,
for
that
you
tooke
so
great
pleasure
,
and
reioyced
your selfe
in
the
sight
of
that
fayre
Princesse
Claridiana
.
The
Knight
of
the
Sunne
who
well
vnderstood
hir
iealous
hart
,
very
desirous
to
put
it
away
from
hir
,
said
:
The
deuine
Gods
hath
not
created
your
great
beautie
with
such
aduauntage
aboue
all
the
Gentlewomen
in
the
world
,
that
the
presence
of
another
Gentlewoman
should
bée
sufficient
to
giue
occasion
that
yours
should
bée
forgotten
,
&
in
especiall
of
this
your
Knight
,
who
doth
thin●…k
that
in
the
heauens
hée
should
not
receiue
rest
,
if
your
presence
should
fayle
him
.
With
these
&
other
lyke
amorous
words
which
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
said
vnto
hir
,
the
faire
Princesse
was
somwhat
pacified
,
and
forgot
a
great
part
of
the
suspition
she
had
.
So
these
two
were
together
a
great
part
of
the
night
,
talking
of
things
in
which
they
receiued
delight
,
&
I
am
fully
perswaded
with
my selfe
,
that
if
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
had
not
returned
to
see
the
Princesse
Claridiana
,
that
the
memorie
of
hir
would
haue
troubled
him
,
for
that
the
force
of
hir
excellent
beau●…y
,
and
the
swéet
&
amorous
conuersation
that
shée
had
with
him
was
such
,
that
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
thought
himselfe
mos●…
happye
.
At
that
time
it
was
past
midnight
,
and
the
Princesse
said
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
that
hee
should
go
to
bed
,
and
so
hée
tooke
his
leaue
of
hir
,
&
returned
vnto
his
friends
,
and
there
they
lodged
all
foure
together
in
one
chamber
,
in
foure
beds
,
whereas
they
slept
the
rest
of
the
night
which
remained
,
till
the
next
day
,
in
which
succéeded
all
that
which
you
shall
vnderstand
in
the
next
Chapter
following
.
How
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
did
defend
▪
the
beautie
of
the
Princesse
Lyndabrides
,
and
how
there
entered
into
the
iusting
place
the
knight
of
Cupid
,
and
the
king
Sacridoro
.
Chapter
34.
WHen
the
next
day
was
come
,
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
should
goe
foorth
to
defend
the
beauty
of
the
faire
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
at
such
time
as
the
great
place
of
the
Emperiall
citie
of
Constantinople
was
garnished
with
very
many
valiant
and
glistering
Knights
,
and
the
mighty
Emperour
&
Empresse
were
at
the
windowes
of
the
great
pallace
.
Lykewise
the
Princesse
Clarichana
,
who
was
●…hat
day
apparailed
like
a
Gentlewoman
.
Also
the
princesse
●…indabrides
was
in
the
triumphant
Chariot
.
So
the
Knight
●…f
the
Sunne
came
foorth
armed
with
that
precious
armour
,
●…ounted
vpon
his
Horse
Cornerino
,
that
all
people
receiued
●…reat
contentment
at
his
strange
and
gentle
disposition
,
but
〈◊〉
especiall
the
faire
Princesse
Claridiana
,
who
thought
that
●…ight
to
bée
a
thousand
yéeres
,
hir
desire
was
so
great
to
sée
●…im
againe
.
So
after
that
this
gentle
Knight
had
aduanced
●…imselfe
on
Horsbacke
a
while
,
with
a
quiet
pace
hée
went
●…nd
put
himselfe
at
the
li●…t
,
abiding
the
iust
against
him
what
〈◊〉
euer
hée
were
that
would
giue
the
enterprise
.
And
from
that
place
,
hee
cast
his
eies
vpon
the
royall
Princesse
Claridiana
who
was
next
vnto
the
Empresse
,
But
when
he
saw
hir
strange
and
soueraigne
beauty
,
the
wound
which
the
night
past
was
cured
and
made
whole
,
with
the
presence
and
conuersation
of
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
did
now
returne
and
open
againe
,
in
such
sort
,
that
it
was
requisite
to
procure
other
more
difficult
&
stronger
remedies
for
to
cure
the
same
.
The
faire
&
gallant
princesse
Lindabrides
did
greatly
feare
the
same
,
for
when
shée
saw
the
faire
princesse
Claridiana
,
&
did
well
co●…sider
the
great
force
of
hir
beautie
and
greace
,
the
cause
did
worke
in
hir
effect
,
in
such
sort
,
that
shée
could
not
receiue
any
contentment
in
hir
sad
&
heauie
hart
.
So
that
after
it
was
not
long
when
ther
came
forth
against
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
many
Knights
,
and
iusted
with
him
,
but
in
lesse
then
one
houre
hée
had
brought
vnto
the
ground
more
then
twenty
Knights
,
of
such
as
held
themselues
most
valiantest
&
of
greatest
prise
.
And
being
about
noone
tide
,
on
the
one
side
of
that
great
place
,
they
saw
entering
in
two
Knights
,
of
the
which
one
of
them
was
that
worthie
Knight
of
Cupid
,
&
the
other
was
the
good
king
Sacridoro
,
his
loyall
and
great
friend
.
And
for
that
hée
was
knowen
by
his
deuice
,
and
his
great
fame
was
spread
abroad
in
all
the
Empire
of
Greece
,
there
arose
a
great
rumour
amongst
all
the
people
,
in
saying
that
the
same
was
the
famous
Knight
of
Cupid
,
who
slew
the
great
Gyant
Mandroco
,
and
how
that
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
had
found
now
his
equall
.
And
all
in
generall
had
great
desire
to
sée
them
prooue
their
strange
and
mightie
forces
,
the
one
against
the
other
.
And
the
mightie
Emperour
when
hée
vnderstood
that
it
was
th●…
Knight
of
Cupid
,
hée
was
very
glad
and
reioyced
much
a●…
his
comming
,
for
that
hée
was
very
desirous
to
know
him
,
and
to
giue
him
all
the
honour
that
such
a
Knight
doth
deserue
.
And
turning
vnto
the
Empresse
Claridiana
,
hée
sayde
You
shall
vnderstand
(
fayre
Lady
)
that
all
the
people
tha●…
are
in
this
great
place
are
altered
,
at
the
comming
of
thi●…
Knight
which
bringeth
the
deuise
of
Cupid
,
for
that
hee
i●…
one
of
the
best
and
most
famous
knights
that
hath
come
into
this
Countrie
,
and
all
in
generall
hath
great
desire
to
sée
him
prooue
himselfe
with
the
worthie
Knight
of
the
Sunne
.
Then
the
Princesse
Claridiana
did
very
much
béehould
the
Knight
of
Cupide
,
and
saw
that
hée
was
very
big
and
well
made
,
and
that
in
all
points
hée
did
resemble
very
much
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
shée
sayd
that
they
had
great
reason
to
giue
him
the
name
and
fame
,
as
the
Emperour
had
sayde
.
At
that
time
as
the
Knight
of
Cupide
and
the
king
Sacridoro
did
enter
into
that
great
place
,
they
did
not
know
that
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
was
knowen
to
bée
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
for
that
they
came
then
from
theyr
iourney
,
and
had
trauailed
that
day
seauen
miles
,
and
the
Knight
of
Cupid
had
great
desire
to
proue
himselfe
with
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
,
as
wel
for
that
hée
could
not
suffer
that
any
knight
should
make
defence
,
and
say
that
there
was
a
fayrer
Gentlewoman
then
his
mistresse
,
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
and
first
beefore
hée
would
consent
therevnto
,
it
should
cost
him
his
lyfe
.
And
with
this
determination
hée
passed
forwards
more
into
the
place
,
and
all
people
that
did
béehould
him
receiued
great
contentment
.
And
when
hée
came
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
,
hée
saluted
him
very
curteously
,
and
sayd
.
Worthy
Knight
,
I
had
rather
serue
you
,
then
giue
you
any
occasion
of
anger
with
battaile
,
for
that
your
great
bountie
is
so
notorious
and
manifest
vnto
all
people
,
yet
notwithstanding
your
demaund
is
of
so
great
importance
,
that
there
is
no
Knight
whatsoeuer
hée
bée
,
that
doth
know
what
lone
is
,
can
eyther
suffer
nor
consent
vnto
the
same
,
●…ill
such
time
as
hée
doth
proue
his
aduenture
with
you
,
for
●…lthough
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
bée
very
faire
and
beuti●…ull
,
yet
there
bée
damsels
and
Gentlewomen
in
the
world
●…hat
doth
account
themselues
as
faire
and
as
beautifull
as
hée
.
And
I
my selfe
doo
serue
one
,
that
as
I
haue
iustice
on
〈◊〉
part
for
to
defend
hir
beautie
,
I
haue
so
great
securitie
●…f
bountie
and
force
for
to
comath
with
you
vpon
this
de●…aund
,
I
would
not
thinke
much
to
take
from
you
this
enterprise
.
The
Knight
of
the
Sun
who
receiued
great
delight
,
did
answere
him
and
said
:
Sir
knight
,
I
doo
giue
you
great
thankes
for
the
〈◊〉
vsed
,
&
the
selfe
same
good
wil
I
haue
alwaies
to
bee
at
your
commandement
,
for
that
the
great
fame
which
is
spread
abroad
in
this
Countrie
of
your
high
and
mighty
knighthood
doth
constraine
any
good
knight
to
haue
you
in
prise
and
estimation
.
And
in
that
you
doo
say
of
my
demand
,
I
would
my
gods
were
so
pleased
,
that
my
bountie
were
conformable
and
agréeable
vnto
the
iustice
and
right
which
I
haue
of
my
part
,
and
if
I
were
sure
thereof
,
then
would
I
against
all
the
Knights
in
the
world
defend
the
contrary
,
not
withstanding
if
you
doo
thin●…k
that
both
in
the
one
&
in
the
other
there
is
lack
of
my
part
,
come
let
vs
goe
and
make
the
proofe
therof
,
for
that
first
I
wil
loose
my
life
before
I
wil
leaue
to
doo
all
that
in
mée
lyeth
.
When
the
knight
of
Cupid
heard
this
,
without
making
any
more
answere
hée
turned
about
his
Horse
,
&
the
knight
of
the
Sun
did
the
like
,
and
either
of
them
did
put
themselues
at
the
list
,
&
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
said
vnto
himselfe
:
Oh
high
&
soueraigne
gods
,
with
a
deuout
&
humble
hart
I
request
your
aide
&
help
to
succour
me
in
this
battell
,
for
that
I
shal
haue
to
doo
with
so
famous
and
worthy
a
knight
.
And
if
it
be
so
that
you
be
fauourable
vnto
mée
,
although
all
the
Knights
in
this
great
place
dooe
help
him
,
yet
shall
I
not
feare
them
.
But
when
the
Knight
of
Cupid
dyd
see
himselfe
beefore
the
Emperour
Trebatio
his
father
,
and
the
Empresse
his
mother
,
hée
did
not
let
to
say
:
Oh
high
&
mighty
God
,
the
creator
of
all
things
,
héere
I
do
desire
thy
diuine
maiestie
,
who
hether
to
in
all
the
battailes
which
I
haue
made
,
hast
giuen
mée
the
victorie
,
let
mee
not
now
I
pray
thee
bée
forgotten
nor
denied
of
your
aide
and
help
,
for
that
in
any
of
them
past
the
death
should
neuer
haue
gréeued
mée
if
I
had
béene
ouercome
.
What
happened
betwixt
them
you
shall
vnderstand
in
this
Chapter
following
.
Of
the
wonderfull
and
cruell
battaile
made
beetwixt
the
knight
of
the
Sun
and
the
knight
of
Cupid
,
and
of
the
perrillous
ende
and
successe
thereof
.
Chapter
30.
THere
was
great
attention
and
silence
in
the
great
place
,
&
at
the
windows
of
the
mighty
citie
of
Constantinople
,
abiding
to
sée
the
perillous
&
dangerous
contention
that
should
bée
beetwixt
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
and
the
knight
of
Cupid
.
Then
the
two
worthy
and
valiantest
knights
in
the
world
stroke
their
●…urious
Horses
with
their
spurs
,
and
made
them
to
run
with
so
great
swiftnesse
,
that
the
ground
séemed
to
tremble
vnder
them
,
&
it
put
great
admiration
in
all
those
that
did
béehold
their
furious
●…estures
,
and
the
fierce
end
of
their
rigorous
encounters
,
but
especially
the
princesse
Lindabrides
,
who
lost
that
roseall
cou●…our
of
hir
faire
face
,
in
such
sort
,
that
shée
had
no
courage
to
●…éehould
the
running
of
their
swift
course
.
These
furious
knights
made
so
great
hast
in
their
long
course
,
that
when
it
was
thought
they
had
not
begun
,
these
valiant
knights
with
●…heir
great
&
big
speares
did
execute
their
encounters
with
〈◊〉
great
strength
of
their
armes
and
puissant
force
of
their
●…odies
,
that
theyr
big
and
long
Speares
béeing
broken
in
●…éeces
,
the
shéeuers
thereof
flew
into
the
ayre
,
shewing
the
〈◊〉
of
these
two
Knights
,
with
so
great
noyse
and
●…umbling
,
as
commonly
the
hard
shingle
doth
by
the
Sea
●…oast
,
béeing
throwen
vp
by
the
force
and
strength
of
the
●…ormy
Sea
:
And
these
two
worthie
knights
with
no
lesse
●…ry
then
a
Thunder-bolt
,
passed
by
one
another
,
without
〈◊〉
mention
of
griefe
receiued
by
that
strong
and
rigo●…us
encounter
.
Their
furious
Horsses
had
scarce
made
an
〈◊〉
of
their
long
course
,
when
that
with
strange
lightnesse
〈◊〉
turned
their
horses
about
,
almost
as
swift
as
the
ayre
,
●…awing
out
their
fine
cutting
swords
,
and
with
a
trise
,
their
light
Horses
were
togther
,
and
they
stroke
both
together
the
one
at
the
other
such
blowes
,
that
warding
it
with
their
sheelds
,
they
were
both
of
them
clouen
a
sunder
in
the
midst
,
and
their
swords
descended
vpon
their
Helmes
with
so
great
force
and
strength
,
that
both
of
them
declined
their
heads
,
as
though
they
had
done
reuerence
the
one
vnto
the
other
,
like
brethren
as
they
were
.
And
when
they
saw
that
in
their
shéelds
there
was
no
defence
,
the
rest
that
remained
of
them
they
●…hrew
off
their
armes
to
the
ground
,
and
with
with
theyr
swords
in
both
theyr
hands
,
they
beegan
to
strike
one
another
,
in
such
sort
,
that
it
séemed
they
could
not
endure
one
quarter
of
an
houre
,
but
that
these
valyaunt
Knights
should
be
cut
all
to
péeces
in
this
perillous
battell
,
for
that
theyr
strong
blowes
were
far
out
of
measure
,
and
although
their
armour
,
for
that
they
were
the
best
in
all
the
world
,
it
did
defend
them
that
they
could
not
bée
wounded
,
yet
for
all
that
the
great
force
and
waight
of
their
mighty
blowes
dyd
all
to
bruse
their
flesh
and
bones
,
but
yet
these
worthie
Knights
dyd
not
faint
any
thing
at
all
,
but
rather
their
fury
and
force
did
the
more
increase
,
and
were
so
furious
in
this
theyr
wonderfull
battaile
,
and
their
blowes
so
thick
,
that
scarcely
they
could
bée
perceiued
,
but
the
Knight
of
the
Sunn
stroke
the
knight
of
Cupid
such
a
blow
vpon
his
rich
and
strong
helme
,
that
hee
made
the
fire
to
flie
out
therat
in
great
abundance
,
the
which
tooke
away
the
sight
of
his
eyes
,
and
did
depriue
him
somewhat
of
his
feeling
.
And
as
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
would
haue
doubled
another
blow
vpon
him
,
the
Knight
of
Cupid
was
wholy
come
againe
to
himselfe
,
and
beefore
hée
could
discharge
the
same
,
hée
made
his
light
horse
to
leape
on
the
one
side
,
in
such
sort
▪
that
his
blow
was
stroken
in
vayne
,
with
so
great
forc●…
and
strength
,
that
hée
had
fallen
downe
to
the
ground
afte●…
his
sword
,
if
hée
had
not
sustained
himselfe
by
the
pommel
of
his
saddle
,
but
this
blow
was
not
so
soone
discharged
when
the
Knight
of
Cupide
entered
in
with
his
Horse
,
an●…
with
both
his
handes
hee
stroke
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
〈◊〉
strong
a
blow
vpon
his
Heime
,
that
hée
depriued
him
alt●…gether
of
his
féeling
,
&
made
him
to
loose
his
stirrops
,
and
the
bridle
of
his
horse
.
And
the
furious
horse
being
tormented
with
that
mightie
blow
,
did
somwhat
apart
himselfe
from
that
place
,
wheras
they
made
their
battaile
.
The
emperour
Trobatio
,
&
the
Princesse
Claridiana
,
was
greatly
amazed
,
when
they
saw
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
brought
into
that
estate
.
Likewise
the
precious
Princesse
Lindabrides
out
of
hir
triumphant
Chariot
,
with
great
sorrow
&
griefe
,
did
behold
the
same
.
But
all
this
did
not
indure
long
,
for
that
the
Knight
of
Cupid
for
all
the
hast
that
he
made
could
not
come
to
double
vpon
him
,
so
soone
as
the
valiant
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
was
come
againe
vnto
himselfe
,
&
recouered
his
bridle
&
stirrups
.
And
full
of
mortall
courage
,
being
to
the
presence
of
his
Ladies
,
&
by
one
all
onely
Knight
to
be
so
ill
intreated
,
hée
lift
vp
his
strong
armes
,
with
his
sword
in
both
his
hands
,
and
spurred
forwardes
his
furious
Horse
,
with
so
great
wrath
,
that
all
them
that
did
behold
him
,
were
greatly
amazed
:
&
comming
vnto
the
Knight
of
Cupid
he
stroke
him
such
a
right
downe
blow
with
so
great
force
&
strength
,
that
he
made
him
to
decline
and
stoope
with
his
head
downe
to
the
horse
neck
,
&
the
bloud
ranne
out
at
his
eares
and
nose
,
and
out
of
all
feling
,
hée
rested
with
his
breast
on
his
saddle
bow
.
And
his
horse
carried
him
from
the
one
place
to
the
other
,
in
such
sort
that
it
seemed
that
he
had
in
him
no
life
,
till
such
time
as
within
a
little
space
he
came
againe
vnto
himselfe
:
and
sée●…ng
himselfe
in
that
sort
vsed
,
with
great
griefe
hée
beegan
●…o
say
:
Oh
soueraigne
God
,
who
hath
béene
my
●…ider
and
●…uccourer
,
in
all
battailes
past
,
which
I
haue
sustained
and
〈◊〉
the
victory
of
braue
and
furious
Gyants
,
and
valiaunt
Knights
,
now
I
doe
most
hartely
desire
thée
,
at
this
present
●…o
be
fauourable
vnto
me
,
for
I
doe
acknowledge
and
con●…esse
,
that
with
out
thy
help
,
I
shall
not
be
able
to
make
my
●…efence
against
this
couragious
Knight
:
for
that
hée
is
the
〈◊〉
that
in
all
my
life
I
haue
proued
.
And
do
not
con●…ent
my
God
,
that
I
bée
ouercome
,
beefore
my
parents
,
and
●…efore
I
doe
giue
my selfe
to
be
knowen
,
except
it
be
by
the
knight
of
the
Sun
my
brother
.
And
in
saying
these
words
,
the
valiant
knight
of
Cupid
,
stroke
his
furious
horse
with
the
spurs
,
&
returned
vpon
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
with
so
couragious
force
,
hee
stroke
so
terrible
a
blow
,
with
his
hands
,
vpon
his
rich
&
precious
helme
,
that
the
sound
thereof
was
heard
through
all
the
Citie
of
Constantinople
,
&
was
charged
so
much
therwith
,
that
he
thought
verely
that
his
eyes
and
all
the
téeth
in
his
head
were
broken
,
by
the
great
abundance
of
bloud
that
issued
out
from
the
lasing
of
his
helme
.
And
his
horse
Cornerino
,
did
founder
vnder
him
,
with
the
great
force
and
wayght
of
the
same
blow
,
&
so
remayned
a
good
while
,
&
could
not
arise
,
till
such
time
as
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
with
great
fury
did
quicken
him
with
his
spurs
:
&
said
within
himselfe
,
that
with
great
reason
the
Knight
of
Cupid
was
so
praysed
in
the
court
,
for
that
ther
was
neuer
Knight
or
Gyant
,
that
euer
did
bring
him
into
that
extremitie
.
So
ther
againe
these
valiant
warriors
did
returne
vnto
their
battaile
,
with
so
furious
brauenesse
,
that
all
those
which
did
behold
them
,
were
greatly
amazed
,
musing
how
that
two
humane
bodyes
could
endure
so
long
,
and
suffer
so
great
torment
.
And
with
great
reason
they
saide
,
that
those
two
knights
was
the
flower
of
all
the
knights
in
the
world
.
The
Emperour
Trebatio
being
very
much
amazed
to
sée
the
knight
of
the
Sun
in
that
extremity
,
hée
said
vnto
the
princes
Claridiana
.
Oh
who
had
séene
the
high
&
mighty
knighthood
that
was
done
by
the
knight
of
the
Sun
in
the
Iland
of
Lindaraza
,
vpon
the
monstrous
giants
&
wild
beasts
,
&
the
great
prowes
done
against
so
many
worthie
knights
,
as
well
in
this
court
,
as
in
other
places
,
that
séemed
to
be
done
by
some
diuine
prouidence
,
rather
then
by
any
humane
knight
.
And
now
to
sée
him
in
so
great
danger
to
be
ouercome
by
one
alone
Knight
,
surely
it
is
a
strange
thing
,
&
to
be
wondred
at
.
Of
a
truth
,
said
the
faire
princes
,
they
which
haue
not
séene
,
cannot
well
beléeue
it
,
but
yet
it
séemeth
vnto
me
that
the
knight
of
Cupid
should
be
such
a
Knight
,
that
wher●…
hée
is
knowen
he
is
had
in
the
like
reputacion
,
as
the
knight
of
the
Sun
is
with
you
.
In
this
time
the
valiant
knights
neuer
seased
,
neither
were
they
weary
,
although
more
then
two
houres
they
combatted
together
,
but
séemed
rather
with
more
force
&
fury
,
then
at
the
beginning
,
they
did
perseuer
in
the
strong
battaile
,
striking
the
one
the
other
with
so
great
fury
,
that
many
times
their
heauy
blowes
did
astony
them
,
as
well
the
one
as
the
other
,
&
brought
them
both
vnto
the
point
to
be
ouercome
.
Which
was
the
occasion
that
their
stout
couragis
did
gather
more
strength
,
&
their
strong
armes
the
more
force
:
&
made
either
of
them
to
think
,
that
it
were
better
to
be
slaine
then
to
be
ouercome
,
before
them
,
whom
they
did
combatte
,
which
was
the
occasion
,
that
their
battaile
was
of
a
great
deale
more
force
then
at
the
beginning
.
And
againe
,
if
their
horses
had
not
ben
the
best
in
all
the
world
,
they
could
not
haue
caried
them
,
neither
haue
suffered
the
great
trauaile
,
which
their
maisters
put
them
vnto
,
with
entring
in
,
&
retyring
backe
,
with
the
Arong
&
heauy
blowes
which
they
receiued
,
&
the
light
leapes
&
springes
which
they
gaue
,
forced
by
their
sharpe
spurs
was
sufficient
to
haue
weried
them
:
but
by
reason
that
their
horses
were
so
good
,
&
their
armour
so
suer
,
all
the
state
of
the
battaile
remained
in
the
force
&
●…he
strength
of
the
knights
.
And
by
reason
,
that
either
of
them
was
suffiently
furnished
therewith
,
was
the
occasion
that
the
battaile
went
in
such
sort
,
that
betwixt
them
ther
was
not
knowen
any
vauntage
.
And
as
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
at
that
tyme
did
behold
the
faire
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
and
saw
hir
to
bée
so
sadde
and
lost
all
hir
coulour
,
he
suspected
the
occasion
to
be
in
the
perill
of
the
battayle
.
With
a
new
fury
,
and
double
force
,
hee
stroke
so
mightie
a
blow
at
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
that
he
thought
ve●…ily
with
that
alone
blow
,
to
haue
finished
the
battaile
,
for
that
his
armes
did
hang
lash
downe
,
&
his
head
vpon
his
horse
neck
,
&
he
without
remembrance
,
in
such
sort
that
his
Horse
caried
him
about
that
great
place
,
and
all
men
did
loke
when
he
would
haue
fallen
from
his
Horse
to
the
ground
.
And
for
that
the
Knight
of
the
sun
did
think
that
he
had
ben
dead
,
he
did
leaue
to
follow
him
.
But
yet
hée
had
not
concluded
to
giue
a
compasse
round
about
with
his
Horse
,
in
signe
of
victory
,
when
the
good
Knight
of
Cupid
was
wholy
come
againe
to
himselfe
,
&
was
setled
in
his
saddle
,
and
recouering
his
sword
which
he
had
lost
by
the
strength
of
that
blow
with
great
fury
he
spurred
his
great
and
furious
Horse
,
&
went
towards
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
and
setling
himselfe
vpon
his
stirrops
,
he
stroke
him
such
a
blow
vpon
the
shoulder
,
that
if
his
inchanted
armour
had
not
ben
such
,
without
all
doubt
,
he
had
clouen
him
vnto
the
Horse
saddle
.
But
by
reason
that
they
were
so
strong
,
his
sword
made
no
more
signe
on
him
,
then
if
he
hadde
stroke
vpon
an
anfield
of
stéele
.
Yet
for
all
that
the
knight
of
the
Sun
was
so
charged
with
that
blow
,
that
if
hée
had
not
imbraced
himselfe
about
his
horse
neck
,
hée
had
fallen
downe
vnto
the
ground
.
Oh
how
great
was
the
wrath
which
the
knight
of
the
Sun
receiued
,
in
séeing
himselfe
brought
into
so
great
extremity
,
before
the
royall
and
beautifull
Princes
Claridiana
,
and
the
faire
princesse
Lindabrides
.
It
caused
the
fury
of
his
mortall
blowes
to
double
,
and
to
be
angry
with
himselfe
,
for
that
one
alone
Knight
should
so
long
endure
against
him
.
But
what
did
all
his
wrath
and
fury
profit
him
,
for
that
hée
hadde
to
doe
with
that
strong
and
worthy
Rosicleer
,
the
verye
same
who
next
vnto
him
,
was
the
best
Knight
in
all
the
world
.
And
the
same
,
that
if
all
the
Knights
in
that
place
should
moue
attempt
agaynst
him
,
his
valiaunt
and
couragious
heart
should
not
faile
him
one
iotte
.
And
séeing
him selfe
beefore
the
Emperour
his
Father
,
and
the
Empresse
his
Mother
,
if
hée
got
no●…
the
victory
of
the
battaile
,
it
would
vtterly
discourag●…
him
to
come
any
more
into
their
Court
and
presence
which
caused
him
to
execute
these
rigorous
blowes
,
with
so
great
force
,
that
it
made
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
to
wonder
at
his
great
strength
.
At
this
time
the
one
was
knowen
so
well
to
the
other
,
that
the
end
of
the
battell
was
very
doubtfull
,
for
that
the
greatest
part
of
the
day
was
past
,
wherein
the
valiant
&
worthy
knights
had
combatted
,
&
no
lesse
vantage
to
be
iudged
betwixt
them
then
at
the
beginning
.
At
which
the
Emperour
&
the
princesse
&
all
the
rest
of
the
knights
&
Ladies
that
were
in
the
pallace
,
very
much
meruailed
,
and
said
that
the
knight
of
the
Sun
had
met
with
his
match
.
Likewise
the
valiant
king
Sacridoro
,
for
that
he
knew
the
great
force
&
strength
of
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
was
greatly
amazed
that
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
should
so
long
endure
with
him
,
&
said
vnto
himselfe
:
Surely
not
without
great
reason
the
high
bounty
of
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
is
extolled
,
that
he
alone
doth
maintaine
himselfe
against
him
,
that
the
sauage
people
of
the
inchanted
fountaine
could
not
endure
one
halfe
houre
,
and
against
him
that
the
fierce
Tiger
and
monstrous
Gyant
,
which
were
kéepers
of
the
Prince
Lusindo
,
could
not
make
any
resistance
.
And
in
saying
these
words
hée
desired
God
of
his
goodnesse
to
graunt
the
victory
vnto
his
perfect
friend
,
for
that
beefore
the
Emperour
Terbatio
&
Empresse
Briana
,
his
father
and
mother
,
hée
might
not
bée
disgraced
,
which
would
bée
the
occasion
that
hée
should
neuer
come
more
beefore
them
.
In
this
time
the
blowes
of
these
two
valiant
Knightes
were
so
rigorous
,
that
all
those
which
did
beholde
them
were
greatly
amazed
,
and
two
miles
about
that
place
was
the
noise
of
their
blowes
heard
as
though
it
had
ben
thunder
,
putting
the
hearers
in
great
feare
,
and
the
lookers
one
waxed
wery
,
but
they
séemed
with
new
force
to
begin
the
battell
againe
.
So
in
this
sort
these
valiaunt
Knightes
did
perseuer
in
their
rigorous
battayle
,
without
any
ceasing
,
but
still
executing
their
terrible
blows
the
one
vpon
the
other
,
till
more
then
sixe
houres
were
past
since
the
beginning
of
their
combat
,
and
it
séemed
that
the
Sunne
would
seperate
the
battaile
,
for
that
she
began
to
withdraw
hir selfe
into
the
occidentall
Regions
.
At
this
time
it
séemed
vnto
the
knight
of
Cudid
,
that
in
all
that
day
he
had
done
very
little
,
and
that
the
day
was
almost
spent
,
being
very
angry
with
himselfe
,
hée
said
.
Oh
lasie
&
cowardly
knight
of
Cupid
,
with
what
face
canst
thou
come
into
the
presence
of
the
emperour
Trebatio
,
&
acknowledge
him
to
be
thy
father
,
séeing
that
in
his
presence
one
Knight
hath
brought
thée
into
this
extremity
.
Is
it
possible
that
I
am
that
same
Rosicleer
,
who
in
the
court
of
the
king
Oliuerio
pushed
out
of
their
saddles
so
many
knights
&
gyants
,
&
he
who
alwaies
thought
that
ther
was
none
but
he
that
was
worthy
to
put
his
thought
&
care
vpon
the
princesse
Oliuia
.
Now
doe
I
sée
that
I
haue
no
reason
to
blame
that
princesse
for
intreating
me
so
euill
,
for
that
with
one
alone
knight
I
cannot
defend
the
iustice
of
hir
great
beautie
.
What
is
become
of
that
great
hardines
wherwith
I
attemted
the
inchanted
caue
of
Aridon
,
&
the
mighty
force
wherwith
I
did
ouercome
those
two
furious
beasts
?
Certainly
I
doe
beléeue
that
all
is
lost
and
gone
,
for
that
I
cannot
now
make
resistance
against
one
knight
:
It
is
possible
that
I
am
that
Knight
of
Cupid
,
that
in
all
the
battailes
that
he
hath
attempted
in
his
life
time
got
the
victory
?
No
surely
,
for
that
by
one
alone
Knight
I
am
at
the
point
to
be
ouercome
.
Now
I
doe
sée
that
from
this
day
forwards
I
must
dye
without
all
hope
of
any
remedy
for
my
sorrow
and
griefe
,
for
that
I
am
impotent
,
&
doe
lack
my
force
&
strength
for
to
reuenge
me
of
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
,
&
the
occasion
I
hoped
to
haue
giuen
,
that
the
princesse
Oliuia
should
haue
vnderstood
of
hir
errour
:
Oh
my
loyall
,
true
,
&
perfect
friend
king
Sacridoro
,
what
reason
was
it
that
did
moue
thée
for
to
throw
thy self
into
that
profound
&
déepe
fountaine
of
the
Sauages
,
and
againe
,
for
to
leaue
thy
louing
wife
&
naturall
kingdome
,
for
to
beare
&
kéepe
company
with
a
Knight
,
who
before
thy
presence
is
at
the
point
by
one
alone
knight
to
be
ouercome
.
And
you
Bargandel
&
Liriamandro
,
with
the
Tartarian
Zoylo
with
what
reason
haue
you
left
your
mighty
kingdomes
,
&
tyauile
in
the
world
to
seeke
Rosicleer
,
your
great
friend
,
hauing
other
which
doth
ouerpasse
him
very
much
:
Oh
knight
of
▪
the
Sun
wher
is
now
your
singuler
bounty
,
and
in
what
place
haue
you
trauailed
the
you
haue
not
met
with
this
Knight
,
whereby
might
haue
ben
excused
this
great
reproch
that
your
brother
doth
looke
to
receiue
this
day
:
Oh
how
it
●…oth
grieue
me
not
for
to
know
you
,
for
that
I
shall
not
bée
able
to
say
that
I
am
your
brother
.
At
the
same
time
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
with
no
lesse
sorrow
&
griefe
,
said
vnto
himselfe
.
Oh
weake
&
cowardly
knight
,
how
much
doth
it
stand
thée
in
hand
from
this
day
forwardes
to
loose
the
name
of
the
Snn
,
for
that
all
those
which
hath
ben
by
thée
ouercome
vnder
that
name
,
doe
account
thée
for
a
coward
&
of
litle
force
,
séeing
thée
by
one
alone
knight
to
be
brought
vnto
this
perplexitie
.
Is
it
possible
that
I
am
hée
that
had
so
much
courage
,
&
was
so
hardy
as
to
set
my
mind
on
two
of
the
most
highest
damsells
in
all
the
world
:
Of
a
truth
if
I
be
the
same
with
great
reason
I
ought
to
receiue
of
them
my
payment
for
this
my
great
folly
,
in
considering
what
they
are
,
&
I
at
the
point
to
be
ouercome
in
their
presence
.
Oh
royall
princesse
Claridiana
,
how
may
you
thinke
your selfe
mocked
,
that
comming
from
so
far
countries
onely
for
to
sée
the
wonderfull
déeds
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
whose
fame
was
so
spred
throughout
all
the
world
.
And
in
the
first
battaile
which
you
haue
séene
him
to
make
,
you
doe
see
with
the
blowes
of
one
alone
knight
brought
out
of
his
remembrance
many
times
,
&
his
horse
to
cary
him
as
a
thing
dead
throughout
the
field
.
How
can
I
from
this
day
forwards
without
great
shame
come
before
you
,
hauing
receiued
me
for
your
knight
,
and
cannot
in
your
presence
defend
your
rare
and
singular
beauty
.
With
what
reason
and
boldnesse
dare
I
before
the
Empresse
binde
my selfe
vnto
your
seruice
,
seeing
that
in
so
short
time
I
haue
found
my
equall
.
What
reason
is
ther
to
the
contrary
,
that
you
being
in
the
most
extremity
of
all
the
damsells
in
the
world
that
likewise
he
to
be
the
most
valiantest
amongst
all
knights
,
that
durst
be
so
bold
to
set
his
mind
on
you
.
So
these
valiant
Knights
saying
these
&
other
words
vnto
themselues
,
did
so
much
animate
their
couragious
stomacks
,
that
eight
houres
▪
were
past
since
the
beginning
of
their
rigorous
battaile
,
&
at
that
time
their
wonderfull
blowes
séemed
to
be
with
more
force
&
strength
,
and
their
horses
with
their
great
&
continuall
labour
waxed
weary
,
but
these
two
valiant
knights
at
that
time
séemed
to
fight
with
new
force
&
strength
,
&
neuer
ceased
striking
one
another
such
terrible
blowes
,
that
the
standers
by
had
their
eares
filled
with
the
sound
of
their
fine
tempered
armour
,
and
were
so
greatly
amazed
to
sée
the
great
trauaile
that
they
suffered
in
that
bartaile
,
&
likewise
to
sée
with
what
great
force
&
strength
they
did
execute
the
same
,
in
the
end
of
long
time
that
they
had
indured
,
&
séemed
that
ther
was
neuer
done
by
them
the
like
prowesse
nor
actiuitie
,
as
was
done
at
that
prelent
,
as
truth
was
,
for
that
neither
of
them
in
all
their
liues
was
euer
brought
into
the
like
extremity
or
perill
,
as
they
wer
in
this
battaile
,
nor
neuer
had
the
like
feare
to
be
ouercome
.
But
the
great
shame
&
reproch
,
with
the
iealousie
of
their
honor
,
did
so
much
touch
either
of
them
,
that
it
made
them
without
feeling
any
trauaile
to
procure
all
that
in
them
lay
for
to
get
the
victory
,
or
ele
to
die
in
the
demaund
.
So
at
this
time
the
golden
Diana
began
to
shew
hir
light
in
the
orientall
Regions
,
and
the
worthy
Knight
of
Cudid
not
esteeming
his
owne
life
,
if
hée
should
not
get
the
victory
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
with
both
his
hands
,
raising
himselfe
in
his
stirops
,
hée
stroke
him
so
terrible
a
blow
,
that
it
did
depriue
him
of
his
vnderstanding
,
&
made
him
to
fall
backwards
vpon
the
backe
of
the
saddle
,
that
his
head
touched
the
horse
crouper
,
and
his
weary
Horse
carried
him
about
that
great
place
,
in
such
sort
,
that
all
those
which
saw
him
,
thought
that
hée
had
béene
dead
.
But
when
the
Princesse
Claridiana
did
sée
him
in
that
plight
,
hir
blood
waxed
could
within
hir
body
,
and
béeing
sore
troubled
,
shée
asked
the
Emperour
if
hée
were
dead
or
no
,
but
hée
was
at
that
wonderfull
blow
so
troubled
,
that
hée
had
no
power
at
all
for
to
answere
hir
,
but
whosoeuer
at
this
time
had
séene
the
face
of
the
faire
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
would
haue
knowen
by
hir
coulour
the
great
loue
that
shée
did
beare
vnto
him
,
but
at
such
time
as
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
did
come
agayne
vnto
himselfe
,
there
was
neuer
Lion
nor
furious
beast
more
outragious
then
hée
was
,
and
considering
the
great
danger
and
perill
that
hee
was
in
,
his
out
ragious
heart
was
so
full
of
mortall
anguish
,
with
vnmeasurable
wrath
,
that
hée
stroke
his
light
horse
with
the
Spurs
,
and
crushed
his
téeth
together
,
that
it
séemed
sparkes
of
fire
procéeded
from
his
eyes
,
and
like
vnto
a
whirle
winde
hée
ran
towards
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
who
seeing
him
recouered
againe
,
made
likewise
against
him
with
so
great
fury
,
that
the
ground
where
his
Horse
dyd
runne
séemed
to
tremble
:
Oh
how
great
was
the
feare
which
the
fury
of
these
valyaunt
knights
caused
in
them
that
did
béehold
their
mortall
wrath
,
comming
the
one
against
the
other
,
terrifying
their
vnderstanding
to
abide
the
end
of
their
mortall
blowes
.
I
doo
beleeue
certainly
that
ther
was
not
one
knight
in
all
that
place
,
of
what
force
and
strength
so
euer
hée
was
,
that
séeing
the
fury
of
those
valiant
knights
,
but
hée
would
haue
béene
terrified
,
neither
was
there
any
friend
,
although
hée
had
béene
fully
satisfied
of
the
bountie
of
any
of
them
,
but
would
haue
prayed
vnto
God
for
them
,
séeing
them
in
that
great
perill
.
The
Emperour
Trebatio
,
with
the
great
loue
that
hée
bare
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
the
desire
that
hée
had
to
know
the
knight
of
Cupid
,
receiued
no
lesse
feare
then
all
the
rest
,
and
sayd
.
Oh
mightie
God
,
thou
who
madest
these
Knights
of
nothing
,
I
praie
and
desire
thee
to
aide
and
succour
them
,
and
let
them
not
execute
theyr
great
wrath
the
one
vppon
the
other
,
neyther
doe
not
permit
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
bée
slaine
beefore
hée
doo
acknowledge
thy
great
power
,
and
turne
vnto
thy
lawes
,
that
his
soule
bee
not
condempned
to
immortall
paine
.
So
the
swift
course
of
theyr
furious
Horses
ioyned
theyr
encounters
,
and
the
two
wrathfull
Knights
raysing
themselues
in
theyr
stirrops
,
pretending
to
make
an
end
of
theyr
long
and
doubtfull
battell
,
with
the
extremitie
of
all
theyr
force
and
strength
,
they
stroke
one
another
with
so
great
wrath
vpon
theyr
fine
Helmes
,
that
although
the
fine
edges
of
theyr
mightie
cutting
swoords
could
not
enter
nor
cut
theyr
inchanted
armour
,
yet
these
valiaunt
Knights
were
so
ouerlayd
with
the
great
might
and
power
of
theyr
blows
,
that
the
knight
of
Cupid
was
constrained
to
decline
himselfe
on
the
one
side
,
and
therwith
hee
fell
downe
to
the
ground
,
wheras
he
lay
,
and
mooued
neither
hand
nor
foot
,
but
was
as
one
that
were
dead
,
and
the
inuinsible
knight
of
the
Sun
by
the
force
of
the
blow
was
cleane
voide
of
any
vnderstanding
,
and
had
likewise
fallen
to
the
ground
if
Fortune
had
not
fauoured
him
,
that
he
fell
forwards
vpon
the
saddle
bow
,
that
his
head
touched
the
Horse
necke
,
and
his
armes
hung
downe
on
both
sides
,
and
voyded
great
abundance
of
blood
out
of
his
mouth
&
eyes
,
in
▪
such
sort
,
that
they
thought
him
likewise
to
bée
as
dead
as
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
and
his
horse
beeing
tormented
with
that
terrible
blow
did
founder
vnder
him
,
and
remained
without
any
moouing
,
as
though
the
bones
of
his
legges
had
béene
broken
.
At
which
sight
all
those
that
were
in
that
great
place
,
receiued
so
great
sorrow
and
griefe
at
the
extremitie
of
these
two
valiant
Knights
,
that
thinking
they
had
béene
dead
,
they
lamented
as
though
they
had
béene
theyr
naturall
bretheren
.
But
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
when
shée
saw
hir
Knight
in
that
estate
,
not
hauing
any
power
to
resist
so
mortall
a
griefe
,
had
not
the
power
to
gouerne
hir selfe
,
but
fell
in
a
sound
,
&
had
fallen
out
of
hir
Chaire
wheras
shée
sat
,
if
hir
Gentlewomen
had
not
ben
,
who
séeing
hir
in
that
case
,
tooke
hir
in
their
armes
,
and
carryed
hir
into
hir
closet
,
and
laide
hir
vppon
hir
bed
,
whereas
shée
had
more
semblaunce
to
bée
dead
,
then
as
one
hauing
any
lyfe
.
Likewise
the
Princesse
Claridiana
,
with
no
lesse
paine
and
griefe
did
béeholde
hir
knight
,
who
with
the
mightinesse
of
hir
couragious
heart
did
make
resistance
against
that
amorous
thought
which
loue
caused
within
hir
.
Who
with
no
lesse
sorrow
and
griefe
when
hée
saw
the
Knights
in
this
extremitie
,
and
as
though
hée
had
knowen
them
to
bee
his
sons
,
hée
withdrew
himselfe
from
the
window
,
&
descended
downe
into
the
great
place
,
accompanied
with
many
Knights
,
hée
went
whereas
these
knights
were
,
and
found
that
they
were
compassed
about
with
their
perfect
friends
,
the
two
Princes
and
the
king
Sacridoro
,
who
lamented
with
great
abundance
of
teares
,
and
caused
theyr
Helmes
to
bee
pulled
of
,
and
to
throw
water
in
theyr
faces
,
thinking
therewith
and
with
the
aire
▪
they
would
come
againe
to
themselues
,
but
all
was
in
vaine
that
they
did
,
for
that
there
was
in
them
no
other
signe
,
but
as
though
they
had
béene
starke
dead
.
For
which
occasion
&
with
dolorous
griefe
the
Emperour
commaunded
them
to
bée
carried
vnto
his
Royall
Pallace
,
and
caused
their
armour
to
bée
taken
off
,
and
to
bée
laide
in
seuerall
beds
,
which
was
in
two
quadrans
,
very
richly
hanged
,
ioyning
the
one
vnto
the
other
.
Then
were
called
together
the
best
Hhisitions
and
Surgions
that
were
in
all
the
whole
citie
of
Constantinople
,
who
did
béehold
and
peruse
them
very
well
,
&
tolde
vnto
the
Emperour
that
they
were
not
dead
,
although
they
were
in
great
peril
of
their
liues
.
Who
being
somwhat
comforted
therby
,
commaunded
that
foorth-with
theyr
faces
should
be
washed
and
made
cleane
,
that
were
all
to
bée
rayed
with
boold
,
and
swollen
,
and
did
not
a
little
meruaile
in
their
mindes
when
they
saw
the
great
beautie
of
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
and
the
small
quantitie
of
yeeres
which
hée
séemed
to
haue
.
And
how
that
hee
resembled
very
much
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
hée
had
so
great
loue
vnto
both
those
Knights
,
that
hée
would
haue
giuen
halfe
his
estate
to
haue
seene
them
out
of
that
great
perill
.
So
after
the
Phisicions
and
Surgions
had
well
perused
them
,
they
found
that
the
greatest
euill
which
they
had
,
was
wearinesse
of
theyr
bodies
,
and
all
their
bones
and
flesh
brused
,
by
the
mightie
force
of
theyr
terrible
blowes
.
So
they
ministered
vnto
them
very
swéet
and
comfortable
ointments
,
and
all
that
was
necessay
for
them
and
most
conuenient
,
and
commaunded
that
euerie
man
should
depart
from
thence
and
lette
them
alone
,
that
they
might
sléepe
and
take
theyr
rest
,
with
onely
two
Pages
,
which
were
in
another
chamber
ther
by
with
great
silence
,
that
whensoeuer
these
knights
should
come
vnto
themselues
they
should
call
the
Phisitions
and
Surgions
.
In
this
time
there
was
not
a
knight
in
the
citie
of
Constantinople
,
neither
in
that
great
place
,
nor
in
their
Tents
in
the
field
,
as
well
straungers
and
Countrie
men
,
that
did
occupie
themselues
in
any
other
communication
,
but
in
the
wonderfull
and
timerous
battaile
of
these
two
Knights
,
and
of
their
mightie
blowes
,
perticularly
euery
thing
as
it
was
,
and
sayde
,
that
there
was
neuer
seene
in
all
the
world
such
lyke
contention
béetwixt
two
knights
,
with
so
great
strength
,
force
,
and
perill
,
neyther
was
any
Damsell
or
Gentlewoman
that
saw
the
perill
of
these
two
Knights
,
but
dyd
verie
much
lament
the
same
,
and
sayde
,
that
if
these
two
Knights
dyd
die
,
that
the
flower
of
all
knighthood
in
the
world
was
finished
and
ended
.
But
in
this
time
what
dyd
those
two
Princes
Brandizel
and
Claueryndo
and
his
verie
friend
Florinaldus
?
Surely
no
other
thing
all
that
night
but
lament
for
theyr
very
friend
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
making
so
great
sorrow
,
that
it
would
haue
mooued
anie
to
haue
had
compassion
that
should
haue
heard
them
.
But
what
shall
I
say
of
that
valyaunt
and
worthy
King
Sacridoro
,
his
perfect
friend
,
that
when
the
night
was
come
,
hée
found
himselfe
all
alone
in
that
great
place
,
without
the
companie
of
his
very
friend
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
and
not
knowing
where
to
lodge
himselfe
,
surely
his
sorrow
and
griefe
was
such
,
that
if
hée
thought
to
finde
his
friend
the
Knight
of
Cupid
in
the
profound
depth
of
the
sea
,
hée
would
haue
throwen
himselfe
therin
,
as
hée
did
into
the
déepe
fountaine
of
the
sauage
people
,
for
to
take
reuengement
on
that
monster
who
carryed
his
friend
away
.
So
hée
went
foorth
of
the
Citie
,
and
béeing
in
the
fields
hee
dyd
alight
from
his
horse
,
&
laid
himselfe
downe
vpon
the
gréene
grasse
,
whereas
hee
passed
away
all
that
night
,
with
great
lamentation
,
béewayling
the
misfortune
of
his
perfect
friend
.
The
history
doth
not
declare
any
thing
of
the
faire
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
but
that
shée
passed
all
that
night
in
sorrow
and
griefe
.
But
hée
saith
that
the
princesse
Claridiana
when
she
was
alone
in
hir
chamber
,
there
was
no
sufficiencie
in
the
highnesse
of
hir
estate
,
neither
in
the
generositie
of
hir
couragious
hart
,
for
to
draw
hir
from
the
lamenting
of
the
misfortune
of
hir
knight
,
in
such
sort
,
that
all
the
night
she
did
no
other
thing
but
shed
abundaunce
of
teares
which
ranne
downe
by
hir
Christall
chéekes
,
and
spake
such
lamentable
and
sorrowfull
words
,
that
it
séemed
hir
life
could
not
haue
endured
till
the
next
day
,
if
it
had
not
pleased
God
to
haue
giuen
remedy
therin
,
as
in
the
next
Chapter
shall
bée
declared
.
How
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
and
the
knight
of
Cupid
,
were
come
againe
vnto
themselues
,
&
how
they
were
knowen
to
bee
bretheren
by
a
meruaylous
meanes
.
Chapter
36.
NOw
was
the
time
come
that
the
vniuersall
creator
and
maker
of
all
this
,
would
that
these
straunge
meruayles
should
bée
manifest
vnto
all
men
,
and
that
the
great
trauailes
and
biter
complaints
of
the
Empresse
Briana
should
come
to
an
ende
,
his
diuine
prouidence
doth
so
ordaine
all
things
,
that
at
such
time
as
the
losse
of
the
Gréeke
Princes
was
very
certaine
vnto
them
,
and
that
there
was
great
suspition
and
doubt
in
the
liues
of
the
two
worthie
Knights
of
the
Sunne
and
of
Cupid
,
at
that
time
were
the
lost
princes
found
againe
,
and
these
famous
knights
cléere
of
their
perill
,
and
knowen
to
be
sons
vnto
their
royall
fathers
,
for
that
with
more
honour
they
might
celebrate
the
triumphes
and
feasts
of
theyr
naturall
Princes
.
So
after
that
this
rigorous
&
furious
battaile
was
ended
,
about
midnight
the
knight
of
the
Sun
came
vnto
himselfe
and
awaked
out
of
his
long
and
heauie
place
.
And
when
he
was
well
setled
in
his
remembrance
,
hée
called
so
minde
the
passed
battell
,
but
séeing
himselfe
naked
&
alone
in
that
bed
,
with
a
torch
burning
in
the
quadran
,
●…e
straight
way
suspected
what
it
should
be
,
and
thought
verily
that
the
knight
of
Cupid
had
got
the
victorie
,
&
hee
ouercome
.
Wherat
he
reciued
so
great
sorrow
and
griefe
,
that
hée
though
it
better
to
bée
dead
then
to
remaine
with
life
,
and
was
the
occasion
that
hée
fell
againe
in
a
sound
,
and
so
remained
more
then
one
houre
,
at
which
time
hée
returned
againe
vnto
him selfe
,
with
mortall
anguish
and
inward
griefe
,
hée
sayd
.
Oh
false
and
deceiuable
Gods
,
how
much
haue
you
béene
by
mée
honoured
and
worshipped
,
now
I
dooe
béeleeue
that
your
sect
is
false
&
euil
,
and
all
we
which
doo
beléeue
therin
,
wée
doo
erre
and
are
out
of
the
right
way
.
How
could
your
diuine
prouidence
(
if
you
haue
any
aboue
men
)
permit
&
suffer
that
he
who
in
this
world
was
no
lesse
estéemed
than
you
in
the
heauens
,
to
bée
by
one
Christian
beefore
so
high
and
mightte
Princes
&
knights
brought
to
bée
ouercome
.
Wherfore
hath
it
béen
sayd
that
your
high
and
diuine
power
was
very
much
extended
vpon
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
now
by
one
enimie
of
your
law
is
come
to
be
destroyed
?
Wherefore
dyd
you
put
into
him
more
higher
estate
and
prowesse
then
euer
was
in
any
other
Knight
,
&
now
so
soone
to
come
vnto
reproch
and
shame
.
Oh
how
conuenient
it
is
that
I
die
,
or
else
to
goe
whereas
I
shall
neuer
more
bée
seene
,
rather
then
with
so
great
reproch
to
come
vnto
the
Court
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
.
Oh
Princesse
Claridiana
,
wherefore
would
you
by
the
rigorous
force
of
your
arme
that
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
was
knowen
to
bée
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
that
now
in
so
short
time
the
high
renowne
and
fame
of
his
great
valiantnesse
is
lost
:
Oh
how
much
better
it
had
béene
for
mée
to
haue
béene
flame
,
béeing
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
,
then
now
béeing
knowen
to
bée
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
to
bée
ouercome
and
loose
the
victorie
,
for
that
whatsoeuer
had
chanced
vnder
this
name
of
the
Chariot
,
should
not
with
so
great
reason
haue
receiued
the
reproch
.
Oh
how
much
better
and
more
acceptable
had
it
béene
for
mée
,
to
haue
béene
some
base
and
towardly
Knight
,
and
not
by
so
high
and
mighty
déedes
by
mée
done
,
which
caused
in
mee
so
much
pride
,
for
to
put
my
minde
vpon
the
most
highest
damsels
in
al
the
world
.
From
this
day
forwards
it
doth
not
béehooue
mée
to
come
in
theyr
presence
,
but
procure
my
death
,
or
else
to
goe
whereas
they
shall
heere
after
neuer
heare
of
my
name
.
And
in
saying
these
words
hée
receiued
so
great
courage
,
that
hée
blasphemed
against
his
Gods
,
calling
them
false
diceiuers
,
making
an
oath
to
destroye
all
such
Idolls
and
Temples
of
theyrs
as
were
in
that
Countrie
.
And
with
great
fury
hée
arose
out
of
his
bed
,
and
went
séeking
of
his
armour
round
about
the
Chamber
,
with
determination
for
to
depart
from
thence
whereas
they
should
neuer
heare
any
newes
of
him
.
So
when
hée
saw
that
in
all
that
Quadran
hee
could
not
finde
his
armour
,
for
that
the
Emperour
had
commanded
them
to
bée
layde
vp
and
kept
,
by
the
light
of
a
Torch
that
was
in
another
Quadran
,
hée
went
thether
to
looke
for
his
armour
,
but
at
such
time
as
hée
would
haue
entered
in
therat
,
he
heard
a
Knight
which
did
greatly
complaine
himselfe
which
lay
in
another
bed
,
and
for
to
heare
his
●…orrowful
complaint
,
he
stayid
himselfe
without
at
the
doore
.
This
was
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
who
béeing
come
againe
●…nto
himselfe
,
with
great
griefe
and
sorrow
was
readie
●…o
burst
to
sée
himselfe
alone
and
vnarmed
in
that
place
,
béeléeuing
that
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
had
ouercome
him
,
and
the
Emperour
had
commanded
him
to
bee
brought
thether
to
bée
cured
,
and
amongst
many
other
things
hée
sayde
thus
.
Oh
heauie
and
vncomfortable
Knight
of
Cupid
,
what
misfortune
did
mooue
thy
desire
to
come
and
séeke
the
Court
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
for
to
sée
the
great
meruailes
of
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
,
for
that
therin
thou
hast
béene
so
feeble
&
faint
,
so
that
it
doth
not
béehooue
thee
by
no
meanes
,
to
acknowledge
thy selfe
vnto
the
one
to
bee
his
son
,
neither
to
goe
&
seeke
the
other
to
acknowledge
him
to
bée
thy
brother
.
How
dare
I
bee
so
bold
as
to
say
that
I
am
son
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
who
is
the
highest
&
mightiest
Emperour
in
all
the
world
,
or
for
to
say
that
I
am
brother
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
hée
being
the
flower
of
all
knighthood
in
the
world
,
and
to
bée
ouercome
by
another
&
not
by
him
?
Oh
sorrowfull
Rosicleer
,
how
much
doth
it
profit
thée
to
goe
whereas
thou
maist
neuer
more
bee
séene
,
and
not
to
come
any
more
in
the
company
of
men
,
seeing
at
such
time
as
thy
fame
was
most
spread
in
the
world
,
fortune
hath
giuen
thee
so
great
a
fall
:
Oh
Princes
and
Knights
of
the
world
,
how
many
of
you
hath
béene
by
mée
ouercome
,
from
this
day
forwards
you
néede
not
to
speake
any
more
of
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
for
that
all
his
honour
&
victorie
is
transported
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
:
Oh
Princesse
of
England
,
my
hart
is
not
now
so
sad
,
as
yours
may
reioyce
and
bée
glad
.
And
if
you
haue
forgotten
Rosicleer
,
I
haue
no
reason
to
complayne
,
for
you
béeing
the
most
precious
Damsell
in
the
world
,
you
haue
no
reason
to
haue
in
estimation
a
Knight
that
so
quickly
is
ouercome
and
shamed
:
What
reuengement
can
I
take
now
of
the
Prince
Don
Siluerio
,
of
whom
the
Princesse
Oliuia
hoped
for
to
frustrate
,
and
make
satisfaction
of
hir
errour
:
Where
is
now
all
hir
confidence
,
seeing
that
first
I
am
ouercome
,
what
hope
shall
I
haue
of
any
victorie
:
Oh
valiant
and
worthie
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
what
is
béecome
of
your
soueraigne
bountie
,
that
you
hau●
not
met
with
this
knight
of
the
Chariot
.
Certainly
I
doe
beleeue
,
that
it
should
haue
gon
otherwise
with
you
,
them
with
this
sorrowfull
Knight
of
Cupid
,
your
brother
Oh
haw
from
this
day
forwards
,
may
you
be
without
all
good
hope
for
to
know
your
royall
parents
,
for
that
ther
is
none
that
doth
know
who
they
are
but
I
alone
.
It
doth
accomplish
me
first
to
die
,
then
for
to
discouer
it
so
greatly
vnto
my
shame
.
In
saying
these
&
many
other
words
,
this
sorrowfull
knight
would
haue
rysen
vp
from
his
bed
,
to
haue
departed
from
thence
.
But
when
the
knight
of
the
Sun
had
well
vnderstood
all
that
was
said
,
he
was
the
most
ioyfullest
man
in
all
the
world
,
&
so
naked
as
he
was
,
he
entred
into
the
quadran
,
&
with
his
armes
abroad
went
towards
him
&
said
:
Oh
my
Lord
and
perfect
friend
Rosicleer
,
what
fortune
is
this
vnto
me
,
that
without
knowing
you
▪
I
haue
ben
by
your
rigorous
blowes
so
ill
intreated
,
in
such
sort
,
that
without
any
remembrance
I
was
almost
at
the
point
of
death
.
Béehold
héere
your
friend
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
the
same
,
who
in
the
Iland
of
the
false
gyant
,
before
that
I
did
know
you
,
I
got
the
battaile
,
for
to
succour
that
faire
damsell
.
Behold
me
héere
,
I
am
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
,
with
whom
yester
day
you
made
the
stout
&
perillous
battaile
,
who
according
vnto
the
entertainment
that
he
had
of
you
,
it
had
ben
better
that
you
had
first
knowen
him
to
be
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
so
should
I
not
haue
receyued
so
much
damage
.
And
héere
I
doe
desire
you
that
if
you
●…oe
know
any
thing
of
my
progeny
,
to
let
me
vnderstand
thereof
,
for
behold
I
am
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
.
And
for
that
you
shall
the
better
beleeue
that
I
doe
say
,
behold
héere
the
marke
that
I
haue
vpon
my
body
,
for
being
borne
with
the
●…ame
,
I
was
called
by
this
name
,
of
the
Sun
,
at
which
time
●…s
I
was
found
at
the
sea
in
a
small
boat
,
by
Florion
.
And
in
●…aying
these
words
▪
he
did
open
his
shirt
at
his
breast
,
&
dyd
how
the
signe
of
the
Sun
,
which
was
vpon
his
right
side
.
So
when
Rosicleer
had
well
vnderstood
,
what
the
worthy
Knight
of
the
Sunne
had
sayde
,
and
knowing
him
by
his
face
,
and
by
the
signe
of
the
Sun
on
his
body
.
He
saw
before
him
the
present
romedy
,
of
all
his
sorow
,
which
was
such
,
&
of
so
great
force
,
that
neuer
in
all
his
life
he
receiued
the
like
.
And
againe
,
in
knowing
his
brother
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
he
receiued
so
great
ioy
and
pleasure
,
and
was
so
glad
,
that
as
one
halfe
amazed
and
from
himselfe
,
he
imbrased
him
,
and
so
remained
a
good
while
without
any
power
to
speake
,
not
knowing
whether
it
was
of
a
truth
that
which
he
had
séene
,
or
some
false
vision
with
the
which
many
times
he
hath
be●…
deluded
.
But
after
many
amorous
and
comfortable
words
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
he
was
fully
certified
,
and
put
out
of
all
doubt
,
&
returned
a
new
to
embrace
him
,
shedding
many
salt
tears
,
which
distilled
downe
his
brest
,
he
said
as
followeth
.
Oh
diuine
power
&
maiestie
of
him
that
the
heauens
and
earth
doth
gouerne
,
how
haue
I
deserued
so
great
merite
,
that
at
such
time
as
I
was
in
the
greatest
fauour
of
fortune
,
I
was
vpon
a
sodaine
brought
vnto
the
estate
to
be
ouer
throwen
downe
into
the
pit
:
And
by
thée
I
am
reserued
&
comforted
,
&
haue
attained
to
know
him
to
bee
my
brother
,
which
is
the
most
famous
knight
in
all
the
world
,
whom
I
thought
to
be
my
great
and
mortall
enemie
.
Oh
my
Lord
and
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
acknowledge
this
knight
of
Cupid
,
which
is
the
same
Rosicleer
,
who
you
going
in
the
small
bark
at
the
Iland
of
the
gyant
,
did
deliuer
from
death
:
&
although
I
doe
not
deserue
so
great
a
benefit
,
yet
I
giue
you
to
vnderstand
that
I
am
your
brother
,
and
both
borne
at
one
time
&
at
one
byrth
,
of
the
high
&
mighty
empresse
Briana
,
at
such
time
as
she
was
at
the
Monestary
of
the
Riuer
:
being
with
childe
,
by
our
high
&
mighty
father
the
Emperour
Trebatio
And
by
a
misfortune
which
happened
vnto
the
nurse
,
who
did
nourish
bring
and
vs
vp
for
hir
owne
children
,
you
were
lost
in
a
small
boate
,
which
by
the
furious
force
of
a
mighty
deepe
▪
&
perillous
Riuer
,
and
with
the
swift
course
therof
,
you
were
caried
into
the
maine
sea
,
and
ther
was
tossed
vp
&
downe
▪
till
such
time
as
you
were
found
by
Florion
,
the
Prince
of
Persia.
The
two
pages
which
was
in
another
quadran
hard
by
to
watch
them
▪
with
the
noise
which
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
did
make
at
such
time
as
he
arose
out
of
his
bed
,
they
did
awake
,
&
heard
all
that
passed
betwixt
the
two
Knights
:
who
being
almost
from
themselues
with
the
great
ioy
&
pleasure
they
receiued
,
they
toke
a
torch
that
was
light
in
that
quadran
,
&
without
making
themselues
ready
,
they
went
running
vnto
the
place
wheras
the
Emperour
Trebatio
&
the
empresse
Briana
lay
,
&
were
a
sléepe
.
And
neuer
rested
knocking
&
giuing
great
blowes
at
the
dore
,
till
such
time
as
they
were
answered
by
the
gard
,
that
kept
them
.
And
the
pages
in
great
hast
willed
them
to
open
the
dore
,
for
that
they
brought
vnto
the
Emperour
,
the
most
ioyfullest
newes
that
euer
in
all
his
life
he
receiued
.
The
gard
who
did
know
the
pages
by
their
speach
béeing
very
much
amazed
therat
,
did
open
the
dore
,
and
they
without
any
staying
,
went
in
with
the
burning
torch
in
their
hands
,
wheras
the
Emperour
&
the
empresse
were
a
sléepe
,
and
with
a
high
and
loud
voice
,
they
sayd
:
Oh
high
&
mightie
Emperour
Trebatio
,
and
you
soueraigne
Empresse
Briana
,
arise
vp
from
your
beads
,
and
you
shall
sée
the
knight
of
the
sun
and
the
knight
of
Cupid
aliue
.
And
by
the
great
prouidence
of
God
,
they
are
knowne
to
be
bretheren
.
The
one
is
the
gentleman
of
the
Sunne
,
and
the
other
is
Rosicleer
,
both
your
lost
sonnes
.
So
when
the
Emperour
Trebatio
and
the
Empresse
Briana
heard
that
newes
of
so
great
ioy
and
pleasure
,
without
any
more
tarrying
,
they
arose
out
of
their
beds
,
and
couered
them selues
with
certaine
mantells
,
which
were
very
rich
,
and
in
great
hast
they
forthwith
went
●…nto
the
quadran
or
lodging
whereas
they
left
them
.
So
when
the
Empresse
came
vnto
their
lodging
,
she
did
behold
●…he
christalline
face
of
Rosicleer
,
who
did
know
the
same
,
although
she
had
not
séene
him
of
long
time
:
&
againe
,
hée
was
very
much
growne
in
bignesse
of
his
body
&
person
.
But
when
she
was
fully
certified
that
to
be
most
true
which
was
told
hir
,
without
tarrying
for
the
Emperour
she
ran
vnto
him
,
&
did
imbrace
him
with
great
loue
&
ioy
,
and
toke
him
out
of
the
armes
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
who
was
in
his
shirt
,
&
embraced
with
him
.
But
the
great
ioy
,
which
the
Empresse
receiued
,
to
haue
him
in
hir
armes
,
was
such
,
that
she
had
no
power
to
speake
in
a
great
space
.
But
in
the
end
,
with
shedding
of
great
abundance
of
teares
,
she
did
reprehend
him
,
for
being
so
long
away
from
hir
.
In
this
time
,
the
Emperour
came
&
did
imbrace
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
with
so
great
pleasure
,
that
scarcely
he
could
kéepe
himselfe
vpright
.
Who
when
he
saw
the
Emperour
,
he
kneeled
down
before
him
,
&
asked
of
him
his
hands
for
to
kisse
them
,
&
said
:
It
may
please
your
highnesse
to
giue
vnto
me
your
hands
,
as
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
your
faithfull
seruant
,
where
with
I
may
wholy
&
intirely
reioyce
my selfe
,
&
enioy
that
great
benefit
,
which
the
high
gods
,
this
night
hath
permitted
that
I
should
know
for
father
,
him
whom
vnto
their
diuine
power
doth
make
equall
.
The
knight
of
the
Sun
,
had
no●…
more
time
for
to
speak
,
for
that
the
Emperour
did
embrace●…
him
,
&
made
him
to
arise
from
the
ground
,
&
kissed
him
with
great
loue
,
as
much
for
that
he
was
the
knight
of
the
Sun
as
for
that
hee
knew
him
to
bee
his
childe
.
And
in
shedding
many
teares
,
which
ranne
downe
by
thei●…
chéekes
,
for
great
ioy
,
he
embraced
him
again
,
&
said
.
Oh
〈◊〉
loyall
&
faithfull
friend
,
and
louing
sonne
,
with
what
word●…
shall
I
giue
thanks
,
vnto
my
soueraigne
Lord
&
god
,
for
th●…
great
benefit
which
he
hath
shewed
vnto
me
,
this
night
,
t●…
acknowledge
my selfe
to
be
father
vnto
him
who
is
the
fl●…
wer
of
all
knighthood
in
the
world
,
&
without
knowing
hi●…
to
be
sonne
,
is
the
onely
person
that
I
most
loued
an●…
made
accompt
of
in
all
the
world
.
Surely
I
know
n●…
what
to
say
,
but
to
receiue
it
for
so
great
a
merit
,
that
it
séemeth
vnto
me
that
I
doe
lack
force
and
strength
for
to
conceiue
it
,
In
this
time
the
pleasant
&
amorous
words
which
passed
betwixt
the
faire
Empresse
Briana
&
hir
son
Rosicleer
,
was
with
so
great
ioy
&
pleasure
,
&
they
receiued
so
great
contentment
,
that
I
know
not
wherto
to
compare
it
,
but
vnto
that
ioy
which
the
Emperour
Trebatio
&
the
Empresse
Briana
receiued
,
when
they
met
together
in
the
monestarie
of
the
Riuer
,
after
long
time
that
the
Emperour
was
absent
.
So
with
this
soueraigne
ioy
the
Empresse
did
not
remember
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
till
such
time
as
Rosicleer
said
:
May
it
please
your
highnesse
to
speake
vnto
my
brother
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
to
acknowledge
him
for
the
best
son
that
euer
was
borne
of
mother
.
Then
the
Empresse
all
astonyed
&
amazed
,
as
one
awaked
out
of
hir
sléepe
vpon
a
sodaine
,
she
left
Rosicleer
&
went
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
who
was
still
in
his
shirt
,
&
at
the
opening
of
his
shirt
beefore
,
she
did
sée
the
signe
of
the
Sunne
that
was
on
his
brest
,
wherat
she
receiued
so
great
ioy
&
pleasure
,
that
if
the
Emperour
had
not
ben
who
did
sustaine
hir
,
she
had
fallen
down
vnto
the
ground
.
Then
the
knight
of
the
Sun
did
knéele
down
before
hir
,
&
toke
hir
hands
&
kissed
them
very
often
,
till
such
time
as
she
being
rauished
with
ioy
,
threw
hir
armes
about
his
neck
,
&
fell
downe
vpon
him
,
and
kissing
him
on
that
faire
face
,
with
a
terrible
sigh
of
great
loue
she
said
.
Oh
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
the
loyall
and
perfect
friend
of
my
Lord
the
emperour
Trebatio
,
how
shall
I
now
reioyce
my selfe
in
this
great
benefit
which
my
Lord
God
hath
shewed
vnto
mée
,
to
haue
the
knowledge
of
so
worthie
a
sonne
,
if
the
feare
which
I
haue
of
Fortune
doe
not
disturbe
me
,
in
remembring
the
solitary
life
which
I
lead
,
and
reloycing
my selfe
in
your
childhood
and
with
what
sodayne
chaunge
Fortune
did
carrye
you
away
from
me
.
Likewise
the
great
sorrow
and
griefe
which
I
receiued
for
your
loue
was
such
,
that
as
yet
I
am
not
perfect
in
my selfe
,
neither
can
I
beléeue
that
in
one
who
was
inuironed
with
so
great
sorrow
&
bitter
anguish
,
should
receiue
so
great
mirth
and
ioy
,
so
that
in
the
remembrance
of
all
troubles
past
,
if
it
should
not
be
reioyced
with
this
present
ioy
,
to
mitigate
the
fury
therof
,
my
feminine
force
&
strength
were
not
iufficient
to
suffer
the
fury
of
this
great
pleasure
the
which
is
come
vnto
me
,
in
acknowledging
such
a
valiant
&
worthy
knight
to
be
my
sonne
:
Oh
how
now
doe
I
giue
great
thanks
vnto
my
God
,
for
the
trauailes
&
troubles
,
which
your
losse
&
the
absence
of
my
Lord
the
Emperour
hath
caused
vnto
me
,
seeing
that
I
am
now
paied
with
so
high
a
gift
,
&
ioyfull
reward
.
Saying
these
&
many
other
words
,
the
Empresse
Briana
had
the
knight
of
the
Sun
so
fast
imbraced
in
hir
armes
,
with
hir
face
ioyning
vnto
his
,
that
hee
had
no
power
to
make
any
answere
.
And
for
that
these
two
bretheren
were
still
in
their
shirts
,
the
pages
which
were
nigh
them
in
the
quadran
,
had
belonging
vnto
them
two
mantels
,
wherwith
they
did
couer
themselues
,
&
the
Knight
of
Cupid
with
the
greatest
pleasure
that
euer
he
felt
in
all
his
life
,
went
&
kneeled
down
before
the
Emperour
&
said
.
Let
it
please
your
soueraigne
highnesse
to
know
mée
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
who
hath
not
receiued
small
trauaile
for
your
absence
,
&
for
the
losse
of
my
brother
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
in
séeking
of
you
both
in
strange
Countries
,
very
far
&
aparted
from
these
countries
,
although
it
was
not
in
so
ample
maner
,
as
was
requisite
to
the
seruice
of
my
Lord
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
for
that
at
that
time
we
had
him
rather
for
an
enimie
then
for
a
Father
,
but
for
the
accomplishment
of
that
which
I
was
bound
vnto
my
Lady
the
Empresse
.
And
for
to
know
who
was
the
occasion
that
my
Lady
the
Empresse
should
lead
so
straight
&
solitary
a
life
,
which
she
maintained
in
the
monestarie
of
the
Riuer
,
which
was
a
thing
that
touched
me
very
much
.
But
now
knowing
the
occasion
&
ground
therof
,
I
doe
not
meruaile
so
much
,
but
onely
how
she
could
sustain
hir self
&
liue
one
moment
without
his
presence
And
againe
if
she
had
not
said
that
he
was
called
the
prince
Edward
,
I
doe
beleeue
that
she
wold
not
haue
ben
deceined
,
&
being
innocent
,
she
did
not
mistrust
any
such
deceit
.
So
vath
no
lesse
ioy
and
pleasure
then
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
the
Emperour
did
imbrace
him
,
&
made
him
to
arise
from
the
ground
&
said
:
Oh
my
son
Rosicleer
,
how
it
seemeth
vnto
me
that
you
were
not
content
,
neither
receiued
any
pleasure
at
this
deceit
or
pollicy
,
as
you
doe
say
I
vsed
with
the
Empresse
your
mother
,
but
in
consideration
of
the
fruit
that
I
receiued
in
doing
the
same
,
I
may
compare
it
vnto
your
lo●…
suffering
&
being
quiet
,
&
delating
of
the
time
that
I
could
not
receiue
the
great
ioy
&
pleasure
that
I
should
in
the
acknowledging
of
such
a
Sun
.
Tell
me
for
Gods
loue
,
what
hath
béene
the
occasion
that
you
haue
refrayned
your selfe
so
long
time
,
&
delated
to
giue
me
this
soueraigne
ioy
which
now
I
do
receiue
:
if
it
befor
the
deceit
&
pollicy
which
I
vsed
with
the
Empresse
your
mother
.
The
fruit
which
procéeded
therof
is
sufficient
to
excuse
that
errour
done
,
if
it
had
ben
of
greater
importaunce
,
but
what
reason
haue
I
to
excuse
my selfe
from
the
occasion
that
made
me
to
doe
it
.
Then
Rosicleer
not
a
little
abashed
at
that
which
the
Emperour
had
said
vnto
him
,
answered
:
If
the
ouer-plus
o●…
the
reason
which
I
haue
to
reioyce
mee
in
the
acknowledging
of
such
a
father
.
I
had
to
incourage
mée
,
to
publike
my selfe
for
his
sonne
.
Then
had
your
highnesse
reason
to
blame
mee
,
in
the
detayning
my selfe
so
long
héerein
.
And
because
I
doe
find
my selfe
not
worthy
to
deserue
so
great
a
benef●…
,
I
did
make
detraction
thereof
,
till
this
time
should
supply
the
great
lacke
which
was
in
my
valour
.
So
that
your
highnesse
may
of
truth
vnderstand
,
that
all
that
which
happened
vnto
me
by
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
my
brother
,
had
beene
done
by
some
other
Knight
.
First
I
would
haue
consented
to
the
death
,
then
with
so
great
shame
to
haue
acknowledged
my selfe
to
bée
sonne
vnto
such
parents
.
The
Emperour
would
very
●…ayne
haue
aunswered
Rosicleer
,
but
that
the
Empresse
and
the
knight
of
the
Sun
came
vnto
them
,
&
altogether
they
did
a
new
embrace
each
other
,
in
such
sort
,
that
they
had
no
time
for
to
speake
,
&
the
ioy
&
pleasure
was
so
much
in
the
Empresse
Briana
,
that
shée
was
almost
from
hir selfe
,
&
could
not
well
satisfie
hir
eies
in
the
beholding
of
hir
sonnes
,
&
shewed
vnto
the
emperour
the
signes
▪
tokens
which
they
had
vpon
their
brests
,
&
brought
them
into
the
world
at
their
birth
.
So
that
betwixt
them
there
passed
a
great
discourse
of
many
things
,
which
did
greatly
augment
their
ioy
&
pleasure
,
of
all
that
had
happened
vnto
them
,
that
if
I
should
héere
make
perticuler
relation
,
I
should
neuer
make
an
end
,
therfore
to
auoide
tediousnesse
I
doe
let
it
passe
,
it
is
sufficient
that
the
readers
heere
of
doe
vnderstand
the
great
reason
,
as
well
of
the
parents
as
of
the
children
,
for
to
recoice
themselues
of
this
new
&
sodaine
pleasure
.
In
this
time
it
was
published
throughout
all
the
pallace
,
these
good
&
strange
newes
,
&
the
noise
&
rushing
was
so
great
amongst
them
with
the
hast
they
made
for
to
goe
&
see
their
new
princes
,
that
all
the
whole
citie
was
in
a
rumour
&
tumult
,
suspecting
that
it
had
ben
some
other
thing
,
&
was
the
occasion
that
there
resorted
much
people
vnto
the
Pallace
,
in
so
great
abundance
,
tha●…
he
pallace
was
full
,
&
coul●…
no
more
enter
.
Likewise
the
st●…s
had
so
great
prease
,
that
one
could
scarce
passe
by
another
.
But
when
it
was
knowen
vnto
all
people
of
the
acknowledging
of
their
new
princes
,
ther
was
so
great
plesure
amongst
them
,
that
in
a
short
time
all
the
whole
Citie
was
so
lightsome
,
as
at
noone
daies
with
the
great
light
of
Bonefires
&
Torches
that
was
in
euery
street
therof
,
with
many
pastimes
&
new
inuentions
of
so
great
mirth
,
that
it
séemed
that
ther
were
ioyned
together
all
the
pastimes
and
pleasures
in
the
world
.
The
royall
Princesse
Claridiana
was
not
the
last
that
came
for
to
see
these
new
Princes
,
for
that
so
soone
as
she
heard
of
the
great
ioy
which
was
caused
by
this
new
and
straunge
newes
,
shée
arose
on
t
of
hir
bed
,
and
couered
hir selfe
with
a
precious
and
rich
robe
,
lined
with
Martines
furre
,
which
was
brought
hir
by
hir
Damselles
,
and
hir
golden
hayre
hanging
downe
,
with
so
great
beautie
,
that
shée
was
estéemed
rather
for
some
diuine
Goddesse
,
then
any
humane
creature
.
She
went
vnto
the
place
whereas
the
Emperour
and
the
Empresse
with
their
sonnes
,
were
embracing
one
another
.
And
for
that
hir
Gentlewomen
went
beefore
hir
,
with
lyght
Torches
in
theyr
handes
,
euerie
one
dyd
giue
place
vnto
hir
,
and
did
receiue
hir
with
great
honour
and
curtesie
.
But
with
a
gratious
and
smiling
countenance
accompanied
with
great
seuerity
,
shée
left
them
all
,
and
went
and
did
embrace
the
worthy
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
saide
:
If
that
by
the
force
of
my
armes
,
worthie
&
valiant
Prince
,
did
cause
you
to
receiue
any
anger
and
griefe
,
when
I
made
you
to
be
knowen
for
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
with
the
same
armes
I
wil
now
make
satisfaction
of
my
fault
,
in
embrasing
of
you
,
as
the
son
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
and
of
my
Lady
the
Empresse
Briana
.
The
great
pleasure
which
the
worthie
Knight
of
the
Sunne
receiued
of
this
embracing
ought
not
to
bée
compared
vnto
that
which
was
the
occasion
that
hée
came
vnto
the
knowledge
of
his
father
and
brother
.
But
this
may
well
bée
saide
,
that
hée
could
not
receiue
greater
pleasure
and
contentment
,
if
at
that
time
the
whole
world
and
all
the
riches
therin
had
béen
giuen
vnto
him
,
for
when
he
felt
himselfe
touched
with
those
delicate
armes
&
warlike
hands
,
hée
thought
verily
that
in
al
his
life
hée
could
not
receiue
the
like
glorie
,
and
humbling
himselfe
very
much
,
with
a
méeke
voice
he
said
:
As
it
was
perillous
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
that
rigorous
encounter
,
which
by
your
strong
arme
(
worthy
princesse
)
he
receiued
,
yet
this
soueraigne
and
great
benefit
,
which
as
son
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
I
haue
receiued
,
I
doo
acknowledge
my selfe
to
bee
fully
satisfied
and
paide
of
that
high
recompence
,
although
it
was
not
so
small
the
harme
which
I
receiued
by
that
encounter
,
that
I
think
to
receiue
any
satisfaction
,
but
will
rather
put
mée
in
farther
perill
and
daunger
.
The
Princesse
Claridiana
dyd
very
well
vnderstand
the
last
words
that
were
spoken
by
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
but
dissembling
with
him
she
left
him
and
went
vnto
the
knight
of
Cupid
,
&
said
:
Let
it
be
in
good
time
the
acknowledging
of
the
knight
of
Cupid
,
for
that
ther
was
no
cause
sufficient
,
being
lesse
than
this
,
for
to
make
peace
with
him
,
who
in
this
battell
did
shew
so
much
enmitie
.
And
for
the
part
that
I
haue
therin
,
if
that
by
any
other
knight
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
should
be
put
into
so
great
extremitie
,
I
say
I
am
very
glad
for
that
it
happened
to
be
done
by
you
.
For
to
conclude
,
it
was
gods
plesure
,
that
all
bounty
and
goodnesse
in
the
world
should
consist
in
the
blood
of
the
Emperor
Tiebatio
,
wherin
the
knight
of
Cupid
is
pertaker
with
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
so
that
it
is
not
much
to
be
mer●…ailed
at
,
that
the
bounty
of
the
one
and
of
the
other
should
bee
equall
.
So
after
that
Rosicleer
had
answered
the
royall
Princesse
Claridiana
,
straight
way
came
vnto
them
,
the
two
worthie
Princes
Brandizel
and
Clauerindo
,
who
when
they
heard
the
newes
,
almost
from
themselues
with
the
great
●…oye
which
they
receiued
,
they
came
in
great
hast
for
to
▪
see
their
good
friend
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
whom
they
did
embrace
with
so
gret
loue
,
as
though
they
wold
neuer
haue
separated
themselues
.
The
Knight
of
the
Sun
gaue
vnderstanding
vnto
the
Emperour
,
and
to
all
that
were
present
,
who
and
what
these
Princes
were
.
Of
the
which
they
did
al
greatly
reioyce
,
and
the
Emperour
with
great
ioy
and
pleasure
said
.
Oh
what
great
wrong
hath
béene
done
vnto
mée
hetherto
,
that
béeing
in
this
my
Court
,
such
,
and
so
high
and
mightie
Knights
,
and
I
could
neuer
haue
any
knowledge
thereof
,
for
to
doo
vnto
them
the
honour
that
vnto
such
personages
doth
appertaine
.
And
now
haue
I
my
ioy
and
cont●…nt
fully
accomplished
,
for
that
I
haue
so
high
and
mightie
Princes
and
Knights
that
bee
pertakers
with
mée
therein
.
At
this
time
was
the
reioyeings
and
pleasures
so
great
in
the
Pallai●…e
,
as
also
in
the
Citie
,
that
one
could
●…carce
heare
an
other
with
the
great
noyse
that
was
amongst
them
.
And
as
the
Knight
of
Cupid
looked
round
about
him
on
euerie
side
,
and
could
not
sée
his
faythfull
friend
the
King
Sacridoro
,
being
somwhat
troubled
therwith
,
he
did
enquire
after
him
,
and
there
lacked
not
them
which
did
tell
him
,
that
when
the
battaile
was
concluded
béetwixt
him
&
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
that
hee
was
seene
to
go
foorth
of
the
Citie
very
sorrowfull
and
comfortlesse
,
but
they
knew
not
whether
hee
wae
gone
.
The
Emperour
by
and
by
when
hee
vnderstood
what
was
the
occasion
of
his
sonnes
alteration
,
reioycing
very
much
that
hée
had
so
high
and
mightie
a
king
in
his
Court.
Foorthwith
hée
commanded
certaine
Knights
to
goe
&
seeke
him
out
,
towards
that
way
which
hee
was
seene
to
depart
.
Who
in
a
small
time
they
found
him
out
,
wheras
hee
lay
a
long
in
the
gréene
fielde
almost
from
himselfe
with
great
sorrow
and
weeping
,
that
hée
séemed
to
bee
dead
.
And
when
they
had
brought
him
to
himselfe
againe
,
one
of
the
Knights
saide
.
What
doo
you
make
héere
sir
Knight
,
that
you
doo
not
goe
and
help
to
celebrate
this
great
mirth
&
ioy
which
is
made
,
for
the
acknowledging
of
the
new
princes
of
Greece
?
What
feasts
and
reioycings
bée
these
,
saide
the
King
Sacridoro
,
I
for
my
part
am
more
fitter
to
command
to
make
preparation
for
my
buriall
,
then
to
celebrate
any
Feastes
.
Then
the
knights
saide
,
may
it
please
you
to
arise
vp
,
for
you
shall
vnderstand
that
the
knight
of
Cupid
your
faithful
friend
,
hath
sent
vs
to
seeke
you
out
,
praying
you
to
come
and
beare
him
company
,
to
reioyce
in
that
he
hath
knowen
the
knight
of
the
Sun
to
bée
his
brother
,
and
son
vnto
the
Emperor
Trebatio
,
which
is
that
knight
of
the
Chariot
,
with
whom
he
made
the
battaile
the
day
past
.
What
is
this
that
you
doo
tell
me
,
said
the
king
Sacridoro
,
that
the
Knight
of
the
Chariot
is
brother
vnto
the
Knight
of
Cupid
.
Yea
surely
,
that
hee
is
,
said
the
knight
,
but
and
you
will
not
beeléeue
mée
,
lift
vp
your
eyes
and
looke
towards
the
Citie
,
and
you
shall
sée
the
great
Feasts
and
triumphs
which
are
made
therein
,
for
the
acknowledging
of
theyr
new
Princes
.
The
king
Sac●…idoro
,
who
was
no
lesse
amazed
then
ioyefull
at
those
newes
,
looked
towards
the
Citie
,
and
saw
that
with
the
cressets
,
fires
,
and
other
lights
,
as
though
the
Citie
had
béene
on
fire
.
In
great
hast
he
arose
vp
,
and
the
knights
which
came
to
seeke
him
,
fetched
his
horse
,
who
was
loose
in
the
field
,
and
bridled
him
,
then
they
all
together
leaped
vpon
their
horses
,
and
went
towards
the
mighty
pallace
,
and
met
with
so
many
maskes
and
other
kindes
of
pleasure
,
that
almost
they
could
not
passe
through
the
stréetes
.
And
when
they
came
wheras
the
Emperour
&
the
Princes
were
,
this
good
king
was
knowen
by
them
straight
by
the
deuice
of
his
armour
,
&
hée
who
first
went
foorth
for
to
receiue
him
,
was
the
Emperor
Trebatio
,
who
clasping
his
armes
about
his
neck
,
saide
.
Now
is
all
my
desire
accomplished
(
worthie
King
)
for
that
I
am
come
to
the
knowledge
of
him
,
who
for
that
hée
would
not
loose
the
knight
of
Cupid
,
his
faithfull
friend
,
did
abhorre
his
life
,
&
sought
his
owne
death
in
the
deepe
fountaine
of
the
Sauages
,
wheras
he
could
haue
no
other
hope
but
to
die
the
death
:
Oh
happy
and
fortunate
son
Rosicleer
,
that
could
obtaine
so
high
and
faithful
a
friend
.
And
more
happy
are
you
(
worthy
King
)
that
in
dooing
of
this
worthy
act
of
friendship
,
you
haue
filled
all
the
whole
world
with
the
fame
thereof
,
in
such
sort
,
that
it
will
neuer
decaie
nor
bée
forgotten
,
so
long
as
the
reason
of
man
doth
endure
.
The
king
kneeling
downe
would
haue
taken
his
hands
to
haue
kissed
them
,
but
the
Emperour
did
cause
him
to
arise
from
the
ground
,
and
would
not
consent
therevnto
.
Then
did
all
the
rest
come
and
imbrace
him
,
and
did
him
great
honour
,
for
that
it
was
knowen
to
them
all
what
hée
had
done
for
Rosicleer
,
by
the
other
Princes
which
came
thether
,
as
you
haue
heard
in
the
Historie
.
So
for
a
perpetuall
memorie
héerof
,
béecause
that
such
a
worthie
déede
should
not
bee
forgotten
,
the
Emperour
commanded
that
it
should
bee
portrayed
in
the
fore
front
of
his
mightie
Pallace
,
nigh
vnto
the
aduenture
of
Lindaraza
,
which
made
all
them
that
did
béeholde
the
same
to
meruaile
much
thereat
,
When
Rosicleer
came
to
embrace
the
king
Sacridoro
,
theyr
ioy
and
pleasure
was
no
lesse
at
that
time
,
then
if
they
had
not
séene
one
another
in
twentie
yeares
.
In
this
time
the
good
Pages
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
who
neuer
departed
from
theyr
Lord
,
from
the
time
that
the
battaile
was
finished
,
vntill
the
time
that
the
worthie
Knights
were
knowen
for
Bretheren
,
and
the
great
sorrow
and
griefe
which
they
receiued
for
that
which
was
past
,
was
nothing
in
comparison
so
much
,
but
their
ioy
and
plesure
was
much
more
,
in
that
they
saw
beefore
theyr
eyes
,
and
thought
all
theyr
labour
meruaylouslie
well
béestowed
(
which
at
all
times
they
well
accustomed
to
doo
in
ample
manner
)
vpon
so
worthie
and
valyant
a
Lord
.
And
as
they
did
partly
vnderstand
the
loue
that
theyr
Lord
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
had
to
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
and
remembring
that
shée
remayned
in
a
great
sound
at
such
time
as
the
battail
betwéene
the
two
brethren
was
ended
,
Aurelio
sayd
vnto
his
brother
Bynnano
,
that
hée
should
remaine
there
with
theyr
Lord
,
and
that
hée
would
goe
and
carrie
these
newes
vnto
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
for
that
possiblte
shée
had
no
vnderstanding
thereof
.
So
hée
departed
out
of
the
Pallace
and
w●…nt
vnto
the
triumphant
Chariot
,
whereas
hée
found
the
Gyants
in
theyr
watch
verie
heauie
and
sorrowfull
,
for
that
all
of
them
thought
verily
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
had
béene
dead
,
for
that
shée
neuer
returned
nor
came
vnto
hir selfe
from
the
time
that
they
carryed
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
out
of
the
iusting
place
,
and
for
that
Aurelia
was
knowen
of
all
the
gards
,
hee
went
vp
into
the
Chariot
,
vnto
the
chamber
whereas
the
Princesse
was
layde
vpon
hir
bed
,
and
hir
Damsells
round
about
hir
as
though
shée
had
béene
dead
,
who
were
very
much
comforted
when
they
saw
and
knew
him
,
and
with
the
great
desire
that
they
had
to
know
what
was
béecome
of
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
they
asked
of
him
where
hée
was
?
Let
vs
doo
so
much
that
wée
may
bring
the
Princesse
againe
vnto
hir
remembraunce
,
said
Aurelio
,
for
that
I
doo
bring
newes
that
shée
will
not
a
little
reioyce
●…ir
selfe
at
.
And
therewith
hir
Damsels
&
hee
tooke
the
Princesse
by
the
hand
,
&
made
hir
to
sit
vpright
vpon
hir
rich
bed
,
&
threw
on
hir
face
meruaylous
swéet
waters
,
&
vsed
such
remedies
that
shée
somewhat
came
againe
vnto
hir selfe
,
that
séeing
Aurelio
with
a
merry
and
chéerful
voice
,
he
said
.
What
is
this
Lady
,
that
in
the
time
that
your
highnesse
ought
to
bée
most
merry
and
glad
,
in
helping
to
celebrate
the
great
ioy
&
pleasure
,
which
my
Lord
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
doth
receiue
,
in
acknowledging
himselfe
to
bée
son
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
and
brother
vnto
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
with
whom
yesterday
hée
made
that
rigorous
battell
,
&
now
you
to
bée
so
sorrowfull
&
sad
,
and
out
of
all
remembrance
,
&
as
yet
the
newes
is
not
fully
knowen
abroade
.
You
shall
vnderstand
that
my
Lord
the
knight
of
the
Sun
is
very
well
,
thanks
be
to
almighty
god
.
And
for
that
the
Emperor
Trebatio
his
father
,
&
the
Empresse
Briana
his
mother
,
will
not
giue
him
leaue
to
come
&
see
your
highnesse
,
he
doth
send
mée
to
desire
you
to
pardon
him
for
this
night
,
till
to
morrow
it
bée
day
.
At
which
newes
the
great
ioy
&
pleasure
which
the
fayre
Princesse
receiued
was
such
,
that
if
the
Page
had
not
béen
so
well
knowen
as
he
was
,
shée
could
not
haue
béeléeued
it
,
but
béecause
hée
was
knowen
to
bée
so
faithfull
a
seruant
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
shée
was
fully
perswaded
of
the
truth
,
and
arose
vp
from
hir
bed
as
merry
&
as
ioyful
as
euer
she
was
in
all
hir
life
,
&
said
that
by
no
means
she
would
remaine
there
,
but
goe
&
sée
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
and
speake
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
&
vnto
the
Empress
▪
Briana
,
and
help
them
to
reioyce
the
acknowledging
of
their
lost
sons
,
&
therwith
shée
called
hir
damsels
to
help
to
make
hir
ready
,
&
to
trim
hir
in
the
best
and
richest
manner
that
was
possible
,
calling
to
remembraunce
how
the
Princess●…
Claridiana
was
in
the
pallace
,
who
would
not
let
but
to
bée
present
at
the
acknowledging
of
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
in
consideration
whereof
shée
determined
to
goe
in
such
sort
,
that
she
might
assure
the
feare
which
the
princesse
Claridiana
did
put
hir
in
.
So
after
that
shée
was
by
hir
damsels
made
ready
and
put
in
gallant
and
rich
order
,
shée
commanded
to
call
vnto
hir
two
of
the
principallest
Gyaunts
that
were
there
amongst
the
rest
,
and
taking
him
by
the
hand
shée
discended
out
of
the
Chariot
,
and
before
hir
went
a
great
number
of
damsels
with
Torches
burning
in
theyr
hands
,
and
were
so
richly
apparailed
,
that
either
of
them
séemed
to
bée
a
quéene
,
and
hir
traine
was
carried
vp
by
two
very
fayre
damsels
,
with
crowns
of
gold
vpon
theyr
heads
,
because
they
were
quéenes
,
and
they
had
other
two
damsels
which
carried
vp
theyr
traines
,
and
came
last
,
and
in
the
midst
amongst
the
Damsels
that
carried
the
burning
Torches
beefore
the
Princesse
,
there
went
foure
Gyants
,
of
those
of
the
gard
,
all
armed
with
very
bright
and
glistering
armour
,
and
each
of
them
a
mightie
Fauchon
in
his
hand
,
who
were
so
furious
and
terrible
to
béeholde
,
that
the
sight
of
them
(
to
all
that
did
looke
on
them
)
was
a
sufficient
sauegard
vnto
the
Princesse
.
And
in
the
same
order
ther
went
other
foure
Gyants
after
the
princesse
,
who
were
no
lesse
sauegard
vnto
hir
,
and
for
that
shée
was
one
of
the
fayrest
damsels
that
was
in
all
the
world
,
and
so
richly
apparailed
,
shee
séemed
by
the
light
of
the
Torches
to
bée
so
excéeding
fayre
,
that
many
which
were
reioycing
themselues
in
the
citie
,
and
celebrating
these
great
feasts
,
did
forget
themselues
in
theyr
owne
inuentions
and
sports
,
and
remayned
astonied
and
amazed
in
béeholding
the
straunge
beautie
and
soueraigne
highnesse
and
estate
,
which
the
Princesse
had
.
In
this
sort
she
passed
through
the
great
place
till
shée
came
vnto
the
mightie
Pallace
,
and
entered
in
ther●…at
.
When
the
Emperour
vnderstood
of
hir
comming
,
and
all
those
which
were
with
him
,
they
went
●…oorth
to
meete
&
receiue
hir
,
and
all
that
were
ther
present
,
●…ere
not
a
little
amazed
at
the
strange
beauty
of
the
prin●…esse
,
vnto
whom
when
they
had
done
all
their
dutie
&
reue●…ence
,
the
Empresse
Briana
receiued
hir
and
tooke
hir
by
the
●…and
,
and
tooke
the
Princesse
Claridiana
in
the
other
hand
.
So
they
went
all
thrée
into
a
very
faire
and
well
garnished
quadran
,
wheras
thay
did
passe
all
the
rest
of
the
night
which
remained
with
so
great
mirth
and
pleasure
,
that
it
is
better
〈◊〉
bée
thought
on
then
tolde
,
althought
the
〈◊〉
Claridiana
was
in
no
such
securitie
as
beefore
,
who
at
times
did
béehold
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
séemed
vnto
hir
that
there
lack
no
reason
for
to
loue
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
if
there
remained
any
remnaunt
of
loue
in
him
,
after
that
hée
had
séene
hir
,
although
on
the
other
part
,
with
great
reason
shee
hir selfe
in
estimation
,
and
was
in
all
things
assured
,
if
that
shée
had
béene
satified
,
that
by
reason
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
would
gouerne
himselfe
,
yet
the
great
feare
of
the
Princesse
Claridiana
was
nothing
in
comparison
to
that
which
the
princesse
Lindabrides
felt
,
with
hir
perilous
grace
and
countenance
.
For
when
she
saw
the
great
vantage
that
shée
had
ouer
all
that
euer
shée
had
séene
,
and
the
great
reason
that
the
knight
had
for
to
loue
hir
,
she
was
in
great
perplexitie
of
mind
and
thought
,
that
shée
did
very
much
repent
hir selfe
for
comming
thether
.
Likewise
in
this
time
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
was
not
so
firme
in
the
loue
of
the
one
,
but
many
times
hée
was
ouercome
with
the
sight
of
the
other
,
neither
had
he
brought
himselfe
into
such
bondage
,
but
that
he
had
liberty
for
to
renue
the
loue
lost
,
&
although
his
minde
was
brought
into
such
alteration
and
contensious
battell
,
as
hée
neuer
found
himselfe
in
the
like
,
yet
his
body
in
such
sort
did
refraine
the
desire
which
his
couetous
ey●…had
for
to
beholde
,
that
he
gaue
vnto
none
of
all
them
that
were
there
present
,
any
occasio●…
of
suspition
of
his
griefe
,
neither
vnto
any
of
the
Damsell●…
occasion
for
to
thinke
any
thing
but
the
feare
of
theyr
beauties
,
and
the
great
reason
that
either
of
them
had
for
to
〈◊〉
béeloued
,
which
desert
surmounted
in
eyther
of
them
.
In
this
time
the
Emperour
Trebatio
and
the
〈◊〉
Briana
neuer
ceased
to
enquire
and
asked
of
their
preciou●…
sonnes
,
what
things
had
chanced
vnto
them
in
aduentures
vntill
that
time
that
they
were
knowen
.
Unto
the
which
sometimes
their
sons
,
&
sometimes
their
fathfull
friends
did
satisfie
themselues
in
such
sort
,
that
not
onely
the
emperour
&
the
Empresse
,
but
also
all
those
that
were
present
to
heare
them
were
greatly
amazed
,
&
gaue
great
thankes
vnto
god
for
his
miracles
shewed
vpon
those
knights
.
Although
they
had
greater
reason
to
meruaile
within
a
while
after
,
because
the
wise
Artemidoro
came
thether
,
&
did
shew
the
chronicle
of
all
that
two
worthie
knights
had
done
,
wherin
was
declared
perticularlie
the
worthy
déeds
of
either
of
them
,
&
likewise
of
their
friends
.
So
in
declaring
what
had
happened
vnto
them
,
they
passed
away
the
rest
of
the
night
which
remained
,
with
so
great
contentment
vnto
the
hearers
therof
,
that
they
wished
the
night
longer
,
so
that
he
might
not
leue
off
declaring
those
things
.

37.
THe
next
day
in
the
morning
the
reioycing
&
pleasure
that
was
in
the
great
city
of
Constantinople
,
with
the
inuentions
that
the
citizens
had
,
the
more
to
increase
the
same
,
was
in
such
sort
,
that
the
strange
Knights
,
which
found
themselues
present
therat
,
had
great
reason
to
say
that
it
was
the
best
&
most
richest
citie
that
any
prince
had
in
all
the
world
,
&
the
people
thereof
so
loyall
&
faithfull
as
any
subiects
might
possibly
be
.
Likewise
the
Gréekish
knights
mounted
vpon
very
good
horses
,
garnished
and
béetrapped
with
very
rich
cloth
of
Golde
and
〈◊〉
,
and
did
passe
throughout
all
the
great
Citie
,
and
made
a
great
noise
vpon
t●…e
paued
stréets
,
which
did
not
a
little
augment
the
great
feasts
:
amongst
whom
there
dyd
not
lacke
princes
of
great
estimation
,
and
knights
of
great
fame
.
And
for
that
they
were
subiects
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
they
did
as
well
shew
themselues
very
gallant
&
ioyfull
,
in
acknowledging
of
their
new
princes
.
And
all
of
them
went
&
did
kisse
their
hands
,
who
receiued
them
with
great
loue
,
embrasing
of
them
&
acknowledging
some
of
them
for
very
good
&
faithfull
friends
,
more
then
for
subiects
,
but
in
especiall
,
the
good
&
valiant
prince
Rodafeo
,
prince
of
the
Rhodes
,
&
Rodamarte
,
&
other
valiant
princes
&
knights
,
which
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
in
the
Iust
,
did
know
them
to
bée
of
great
bounty
,
&
worthy
to
be
estéemed
.
So
this
day
the
emperour
Trebatio
did
inuite
to
dyne
with
him
,
all
princes
&
Knights
of
fame
,
as
well
strangers
as
of
his
countries
,
that
were
in
the
court
.
And
with
the
great
importunance
of
him
and
of
the
Empresse
Briana
,
of
force
ther
must
remaine
with
them
that
day
the
faire
princes
Lindabrides
,
who
with
a
better
good
will
,
would
haue
remained
in
the
place
,
whereas
she
had
little
securitie
of
hir
loue
,
in
the
princesse
Claridiana
:
and
for
that
as
then
it
was
not
a
time
to
take
any
armour
,
the
emperour
,
princes
&
knights
,
did
aparell
&
adornat
themselues
,
with
cloth
of
gold
and
silk
,
of
great
valour
,
and
was
conformable
vnto
their
high
estates
.
At
which
time
the
princes
Claridiana
,
did
not
forget
the
rich
apparell
,
the
which
hir
damsels
brought
for
hir
from
Trapisond
,
the
which
in
contention
of
the
princes
Lindabrides
,
she
did
put
on
,
and
was
so
well
garnished
,
that
it
might
well
be
said
,
that
the
stones
&
pearles
that
was
on
it
,
to
be
worth
halfe
some
kingdome
.
So
likewise
the
Empresse
,
who
was
as
braue
and
a●…
gallant
as
the
other
two
,
came
forth
,
and
all
thrée
on
hors●…
backe
,
they
went
to
heare
diuine
seruice
,
at
a
Monestar●…
that
was
without
the
Citie
,
in
a
faire
fresh
and
gréen●…
féelde
,
with
whom
there
went
out
●…
great
a
number
o●…
knights
for
to
beare
them
company
,
that
the
stréetes
of
th●…
great
citie
could
not
hold
them
,
so
that
the
most
part
of
them
were
constrained
to
remaine
in
the
field
,
&
yet
the
Emperour
&
the
princes
were
not
come
of
the
pallace
.
But
before
him
ther
came
forth
,
all
those
princes
&
knights
of
greatest
estima●…ion
of
Greece
,
so
gallantly
apparailed
and
furnished
,
that
it
did
augment
very
much
his
great
estate
.
So
after
them
came
the
good
Emperour
,
in
the
midst
béetwixt
his
sons
,
all
mounted
vpon
great
&
mighty
horses
,
so
gallant
&
well
proporsioned
,
that
it
might
well
be
said
,
that
in
all
the
world
ther
were
not
thrée
knights
of
so
gallant
a
semblance
,
as
they
were
.
And
the
contentment
was
so
great
which
all
their
louing
subiects
did
receiue
,
that
they
did
contemne
with
an
other
to
put
themselues
in
places
where
as
best
they
might
recreate
themselues
in
the
séeking
of
them
.
Likewise
,
all
the
windowes
of
the
Citie
were
full
of
damsels
&
gentlewomen
,
not
a
little
wondering
at
their
strange
&
big
proportions
,
giuing
great
thankes
&
praise
vnto
God
,
for
that
in
all
this
time
he
did
preserue
,
defend
&
kéepe
them
.
And
by
reason
that
the
Emperour
was
in
the
inchantment
of
Lindaraza
in
the
prime
of
his
yéeres
,
they
all
thrée
did
so
much
resemble
the
one
the
other
,
that
they
could
scant
bée
knowen
the
one
from
the
other
,
but
that
his
sons
were
somwhat
bigger
of
body
then
their
father
was
.
So
after
them
came
the
faire
Empresse
Briana
,
vpon
a
Moyle
,
very
richly
garnished
&
betrapped
.
And
the
king
Sacridoro
did
lead
him
by
the
bridle
,
the
empresse
was
so
gallant
&
faire
,
that
in
all
the
whole
empire
of
Greece
could
not
be
found
neither
lady
or
damsell
,
that
being
put
before
hir
,
but
that
she
had
great
vantage
ouer
them
,
except
it
were
the
excellent
beautie
,
tho
two
faire
ladies
&
princes
,
who
went
the
one
on
the
one
side
and
the
other
on
the
other
of
the
empresse
.
One
of
them
was
●…nounted
vpon
a
white
Unicorne
,
&
the
other
vpon
a
white
●…awfery
:
and
the
two
Princes
Clauerindo
and
Brandizel
,
dyd
lead
them
by
their
bridels
.
And
they
were
of
as
gentle
dispositions
of
their
bodies
,
as
they
were
faire
and
beautifull
in
their
faces
,
that
like
the
beames
of
the
Sun
,
they
did
dimme
the
sight
of
all
them
that
behold
them
.
And
amongst
the
people
there
was
not
a
little
contempt
&
strife
which
of
these
two
should
be
most
fairest
,
&
of
best
proporsion
,
although
much
more
greater
was
the
contention
that
either
of
them
had
in
their
harts
,
for
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
for
they
knew
not
to
which
of
them
he
would
yéeld
himselfe
prisoner
,
but
the
force
&
strength
of
the
presence
of
eyther
of
them
was
such
,
that
it
could
not
be
iudged
but
to
be
a
continuall
contention
,
without
hope
of
any
victory
,
&
although
ther
was
some
vantage
in
the
perillous
sight
&
surmounted
grace
of
the
royall
princesse
,
more
then
in
the
faire
Lady
,
yet
considering
the
long
time
and
great
conuersation
that
she
had
with
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
was
the
occasion
that
ther
was
such
attension
within
his
hart
,
that
he
had
not
so
much
vnderstanding
for
to
acknowledge
the
small
vauntage
that
was
betwixt
them
,
by
reason
whereof
hée
was
brought
into
that
estate
,
that
the
knight
of
the
Sun
should
neuer
haue
ben
by
any
of
them
ouercome
,
except
the
presence
of
one
of
them
had
lacked
.
So
in
this
order
they
went
towards
the
monestary
,
with
the
Gyants
of
the
princesse
,
hindermost
of
all
them
,
&
their
Damsels
,
very
strongly
armed
for
their
sauegard
.
So
they
issued
out
of
the
Citie
into
the
field
wheras
the
monestary
was
,
and
there
the
Knightes
of
Greece
,
as
well
as
the
straunge
Knight
did
make
a
great
triumph
and
gallaunt
shew
with
their
Horses
,
and
for
that
they
were
all
lustie
and
valiaunt
knightes
,
and
meru●…ylonslie
richly
apparailed
,
and
it
was
a
great
comfort
,
ioy
and
pleasure
,
vnto
all
those
people
which
did
béeholde
them
.
When
they
came
vnto
the
Monestarie
,
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
did
alight
from
his
Horse
with
a
trise
,
and
for
that
he
knew
not
which
of
his
Ladies
he
might
be
bold
first
to
take
downe
from
their
Horse
,
he
left
them
both
,
and
went
vnto
the
Empresse
his
mother
,
&
toke
hir
in
his
armes
&
lifted
hir
from
hir
Moile
,
wheron
she
was
riding
,
&
sate
hir
downe
vpon
the
greene
grasse
,
&
the
Emperour
&
Rosicleer
did
alight
the
Princes
.
Then
they
altogether
entred
into
the
monestary
,
whereas
they
heard
diuine
seruice
with
great
solempnitie
,
yet
the
two
sons
did
not
so
much
reioyce
themselues
therat
,
as
the
Emperour
their
father
did
,
for
that
the
presence
of
those
faire
Ladies
did
cause
Rosicleer
to
call
vnto
remembraunce
the
great
beauty
of
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
who
was
no
lesse
in
degree
then
any
of
them
,
so
that
there
could
no
ioy
nor
pastime
enter
into
his
hart
,
that
was
suffient
to
take
away
that
great
heauinesse
that
so
long
time
was
rooted
in
him
,
but
rather
the
conuersation
of
his
parents
&
of
the
princes
&
Knights
,
did
cause
in
him
the
more
sorow
,
for
that
he
could
not
occupy
himselfe
in
those
déepe
and
profound
thoughts
as
he
was
to
doe
,
and
was
very
desirous
to
find
some
meanes
,
how
with
reason
he
might
leaue
that
life
which
he
then
lead
very
much
against
his
will
,
&
séeke
some
other
way
which
was
more
agreeble
vnto
his
vnfortunate
estate
.
In
this
day
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
more
by
diuine
inspiration
,
then
for
any
duty
vnto
his
parents
,
did
receiue
the
holy
sacrament
of
baptisme
,
&
did
confesse
that
all
those
gods
in
the
which
he
did
beléeue
,
to
be
false
&
liers
,
&
did
returne
vnto
the
law
&
faith
of
Christ
,
with
so
great
will
&
determined
mind
,
as
though
he
had
ben
a
long
time
before
instructed
therin
,
for
hée
had
alwaies
before
his
eyes
,
&
could
not
be
fully
satisfied
that
it
should
be
good
,
that
law
in
the
which
he
had
liued
hether
to
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
with
the
more
ease
he
did
attaine
to
the
perfection
of
the
law
of
god
.
In
which
hée
continued
his
life
time
,
like
a
true
&
faithfull
Christian.
At
the
which
the
precious
Princesse
Lindabrides
did
receiue
so
great
sorrow
and
griefe
,
that
she
séemed
to
prognosticate
vnto
hir selfe
,
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
was
not
ordained
for
hir
,
neyther
for
to
be
Lord
and
raigne
ouer
the
great
Empire
of
the
Seythians
.
And
to
the
contrarie
,
the
princesse
Claridiana
was
so
glad
&
ioyfull
,
for
that
she
was
wholy
perswaded
of
hir
securitie
therby
,
&
also
void
of
the
feare
that
she
had
of
the
great
beauty
of
the
faire
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
(
although
time
did
serue
that
shee
could
haue
had
a
much
greater
in
effect
.
)
So
the
diuine
seruice
was
ended
,
&
euery
one
of
them
in
such
order
as
they
went
forth
returned
backe
againe
vnto
the
royall
pallace
,
whereas
they
dined
together
,
in
the
one
part
of
the
pallace
more
then
two
thousand
Knights
,
&
in
the
other
part
in
a
faire
great
quadran
,
which
opened
vpon
a
very
fresh
&
odiferous
gréene
garden
,
wheras
the
Empresse
dined
,
with
all
hir
Ladies
,
Damsels
,
&
gentlewomen
,
&
in
the
meane
time
while
they
wer
at
dinner
,
ther
was
so
great
melody
&
musicke
,
with
strange
in●…entions
of
mirth
,
&
the
grear
abundance
that
ther
was
of
all
thinges
for
their
seruice
,
that
with
great
reason
all
the
straungers
in
generall
did
say
,
that
it
was
the
most
highest
and
royallest
Court
that
was
in
all
the
world
,
&
the
emperour
to
be
the
most
worthiest
prince
,
for
that
in
ample
maner
hée
did
know
how
to
honour
all
good
&
worthy
knights
.
And
to
sée
the
Emperour
&
Princes
,
with
all
other
Knights
so
gallantly
apparalled
with
cloth
of
golde
and
silke
,
adorned
full
of
precious
stones
ond
pearles
,
with
their
faces
&
proporsions
of
so
exquisit
beautie
.
And
on
the
other
part
the
Empresse
,
with
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
and
the
princesse
Claridiana
,
with
all
their
Damsels
and
Gentlewoman
,
the
Knights
being
serued
with
Squires
and
Pages
excéeding
gallantly
apparailed
,
and
the
Ladies
were
serued
at
their
Table
with
very
faire
Gentlewomen
and
well
apparailed
,
that
surelye
it
séemed
ther
was
comprehended
all
the
bounty
and
beautye
in
the
world
.
And
there
were
many
Knightes
at
the
boorde
that
did
forget
to
eat
,
and
were
as
halfe
amazed
or
astonied
in
beeholding
the
mighty
and
strange
thinges
that
were
done
in
that
great
hall
all
the
dinner
time
,
which
séemed
vnto
them
to
be
the
straungest
that
euer
they
had
séene
.
So
being
in
this
order
all
together
as
you
haue
heard
,
and
dinner
being
done
,
&
all
the
tables
taken
vp
,
they
saw
entering
in
at
the
doore
of
the
great
hall
a
gentlewoman
,
who
did
very
much
digresse
from
all
those
that
were
in
the
quadran
,
as
well
in
apparell
as
in
hir
person
&
disposition
,
in
such
sort
,
that
all
which
were
ther
present
did
beholde
hir
,
for
that
she
was
very
faire
of
face
,
and
so
high
of
person
,
that
she
did
surmount
all
the
knights
that
were
ther
foure
fingers
,
shée
came
apparailed
with
a
large
roabe
,
which
couered
all
hir
body
downe
to
hir
féet
,
&
was
wrought
with
so
many
diuersities
of
silke
,
full
of
precious
stones
&
pearles
from
the
top
vnto
the
lower
part
,
&
was
made
fast
before
with
gold
&
precious
stones
of
great
price
,
which
did
become
hir
very
well
,
the
haire
of
hir
head
was
very
yeolow
,
&
curled
,
knit
behind
hir
eares
,
in
such
sort
,
that
being
seperated
in
the
midst
,
they
were
brought
ouer
hir
shoulders
,
and
hung
ouer
hir
breasts
downe
to
his
knées
,
and
at
the
endes
of
the
partition
of
hir
haire
,
she
had
hanging
two
precious
stones
,
either
of
them
as
big
as
a
reasonable
apple
,
the
which
did
augment
hir
beauty
the
more
.
This
Gentlewoman
brought
leading
by
the
hand
,
a
knight
of
a
very
big
body
and
members
,
&
resembled
very
much
the
prince
Brandizel
,
who
was
ther
present
,
but
that
he
was
higher
then
he
was
by
a
fingers
breadth
,
&
was
armed
with
armour
that
was
very
well
guilt
,
that
it
séemed
to
be
of
very
fine
gold
,
&
was
wrought
by
meruailous
cunning
,
&
garnished
so
full
of
precious
stones
,
that
it
did
manyfest
vnto
them
all
to
be
a
Knight
of
great
estimation
,
his
shéeld
was
all
of
fine
Stéele
,
&
in
the
golden
field
therof
ther
was
grauen
two
Lyons
of
Siluer
,
and
a
knight
with
a
bloudie
sword
in
his
hands
,
who
at
two
blowes
did
part
them
both
a
sunder
in
the
midst
,
he
had
the
beauer
of
his
healme
lifted
vp
,
in
such
sort
that
they
might
discouer
&
sée
his
face
to
bee
swartish
and
boystrous
.
and
his
countenaunce
very
fierce
,
that
it
gaue
them
all
to
vnderstand
,
that
he
should
be
very
proud
&
arrogant
,
&
after
them
came
two
dwarfes
,
very
little
,
&
of
so
ill
fauoured
semblaunce
,
that
it
made
all
them
that
were
in
the
hall
greatly
to
laugh
.
The
one
of
them
caried
vp
the
traine
of
the
damsell
,
&
the
other
dwarffe
caried
the
knights
shéeld
,
which
was
a
great
deale
heauier
&
higher
then
he
was
,
for
that
béeing
at
his
backe
,
ther
was
nothing
seene
of
the
dwarfe
,
but
seemed
that
the
shield
was
caried
in
the
aire
,
without
helpe
of
any
person
.
When
this
Knight
&
that
gentlewoman
were
in
the
midst
of
the
great
hall
euery
one
held
his
peace
,
&
ther
was
great
silence
to
heare
what
their
demand
should
be
,
&
knowing
the
Emperour
for
that
he
was
set
at
the
vpper
end
of
the
Table
,
and
againe
be
the
Emperiall
armes
that
was
ouer
wheras
he
sate
,
they
turned
themselues
towards
him
.
And
the
gentlewoman
began
with
a
loud
voice
,
that
all
that
wer
ther
present
might
heare
hir
,
and
said
.
The
high
&
mighty
power
,
&
the
diuine
prouidence
of
the
high
Gods
,
kéepe
&
increase
the
mighty
estate
,
of
thée
emperour
Trebatio
,
&
of
all
the
worthy
&
valiant
Knights
of
this
thy
Court
,
for
that
they
being
ouercome
,
the
victory
of
the
Arabicall
prince
may
be
the
more
extolled
,
the
better
to
obtaine
&
deserue
the
loue
of
the
quéene
of
Carmania
.
You
shall
vnderstand
emperour
Trebatio
,
that
this
knight
who
is
héere
present
is
called
Rodaran
,
prince
&
lord
of
Arabia
the
great
,
of
that
which
is
called
Felix
,
for
that
it
is
a
country
of
great
abundance
,
wheras
the
influences
of
the
same
,
&
all
the
celestiall
operations
doth
most
reioyce
themselues
.
And
I
am
called
Carmania
,
for
that
I
am
quéene
of
Carmania
,
&
the
occasion
that
wée
are
come
hether
into
these
far
Countries
is
,
for
that
this
being
a
young
man
and
a
Knight
,
doubtfull
to
finde
such
another
in
all
the
worlde
for
his
valiauntnesse
and
force
,
being
very
desirous
to
get
honour
,
hée
departed
out
of
his
owne
Country
,
&
after
that
hée
had
done
meruailous
and
incredible
feates
of
armes
,
hée
ariued
in
my
kingdome
of
Carmania
,
where
when
hée
had
séene
my
gréat
and
strange
beautie
,
&
I
being
a
damsell
and
not
married
,
it
chanced
that
hée
fell
in
loue
with
mée
,
and
vttered
vnto
mée
all
his
whole
mind
,
but
first
he
told
who
he
was
,
&
requested
mée
to
receiue
him
for
my
husband
.
The
which
,
so
that
it
might
not
bée
preiudiciall
to
my
honour
,
nor
hurtfull
vnto
my
fame
,
but
profitable
vnto
my
estate
,
for
that
he
is
so
high
and
mighty
a
prince
,
&
so
valiant
a
knight
,
I
did
conclude
and
grant
him
my
loue
,
vpon
this
condition
,
that
first
hée
should
doo
such
feats
of
armes
as
I
should
sée
&
vnderstand
,
that
he
was
the
best
&
most
valiantest
Knight
in
all
the
world
,
and
if
not
,
it
was
not
for
him
to
procure
my
loue
,
for
that
I
would
by
no
meanes
marry
with
him
,
neither
with
any
other
.
For
as
I
haue
my selfe
in
estimation
to
excel
in
beautie
&
highnesse
of
birth
&
estate
all
the
damsels
that
are
now
liuing
.
So
likewise
hée
whom
I
will
take
for
to
bée
my
husband
,
shal
surmount
all
other
knights
.
The
which
condition
this
knight
did
accept
and
grant
vnto
,
and
moreouer
he
said
,
that
the
choice
should
bée
mine
to
appoint
wherin
he
shuld
proue
himselfe
,
and
how
that
he
would
in
all
points
performe
my
request
,
&
hée
would
speake
no
more
words
therin
,
till
such
time
as
all
should
be
very
manifest
and
plaine
.
And
I
being
very
desirous
to
know
the
truth
therof
,
not
giuing
any
credit
vnto
those
mightie
acts
which
I
herd
to
be
told
of
him
,
I
caused
an
vnckle
of
mine
to
come
vnto
mée
,
who
was
very
expert
in
the
art
magicke
,
and
I
desired
him
that
by
his
art
hee
wold
aduertise
wherin
and
how
I
should
proue
this
knight
to
bée
(
as
it
was
reported
)
the
best
knight
in
all
the
world
.
Who
after
that
hée
well
perused
his
bookes
&
studied
in
this
my
request
,
hée
tolde
mée
that
hée
had
found
by
his
art
,
that
in
the
Court
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
in
the
citie
of
Constantinople
,
that
there
should
bée
in
this
day
in
the
great
hall
ioyned
together
the
flower
of
all
Knighthoode
in
the
world
,
and
the
most
famous
and
valyauntest
Princes
and
Knights
therein
.
And
that
it
séemed
vnto
him
,
that
there
was
no
better
opportunitie
to
accomplish
my
desire
then
this
,
and
how
that
this
Knight
and
I
should
come
vnto
this
court
,
and
hée
to
defend
and
maintaine
the
quarrell
,
in
saying
that
I
am
the
most
precious
and
fairest
Damsell
in
all
the
world
,
against
all
amorous
Knights
that
shall
say
the
contrarie
,
and
hée
to
bée
the
onely
Knight
,
aboue
all
other
that
dooth
deserue
my
loue
.
The
which
counsaile
séemed
so
conformable
vnto
my
great
desire
,
and
hée
graunted
vnto
the
same
.
At
the
same
very
instaunt
wée
departed
on
our
iourney
,
and
in
the
ende
of
much
trauaile
wée
are
come
hether
the
selfe
same
day
that
the
wise
man
dyd
tell
mée
,
and
according
vnto
that
which
I
dooe
sée
in
this
great
hall
,
I
doo
finde
it
to
bée
true
,
although
I
am
doubtfull
amongst
so
goodly
a
companie
of
Knights
to
finde
anie
that
is
to
bée
compared
vnto
this
valyaunt
and
worthie
Prince
Rodaran
,
and
how
that
the
fame
of
this
court
is
much
more
then
the
déedes
thereof
.
And
for
that
this
our
long
iourney
shall
not
be
ended
without
receiuing
some
benefit
and
profit
,
héere
I
doo
desire
you
most
high
&
mightie
Emperor
,
to
giue
leaue
and
lisence
vnto
these
your
knights
,
that
in
this
case
they
may
procure
to
do
their
best
,
otherwise
with
great
reason
they
might
haue
shame
to
come
beefore
their
amorous
Dames
,
if
that
you
too
refraine
the
consentment
héereof
,
and
not
to
defend
them
in
this
case
with
all
their
might
&
power
,
but
first
I
doo
giue
you
to
vnderstand
,
that
beefore
that
this
valiant
Prince
Rodaran
doo
enter
into
battell
with
any
of
these
knights
,
it
shall
bée
vpon
this
condition
,
that
if
hée
bée
by
any
knight
ouercome
,
that
both
hée
&
I
to
be
prisoners
vnto
him
that
getteth
the
victorie
,
to
do
with
vs
all
that
his
will
&
pleasure
shall
bée
.
And
if
it
bée
so
that
hée
doth
ouercome
any
knight
,
that
likewise
in
the
same
order
he
to
bée
his
prisoner
,
to
carry
him
into
his
Countrie
,
or
to
doo
his
pleasure
with
him
.
And
againe
,
although
the
Prince
Rodaran
as
one
that
is
without
all
feare
,
would
in
the
midst
of
the
place
of
this
great
Citie
make
the
proofe
of
his
great
bounty
,
for
that
it
should
be
the
more
manifest
vnto
you
all
:
yet
I
béeing
no
man
,
and
somewhat
timerous
,
for
the
great
loue
which
I
doo
beare
vnto
him
,
haue
requested
him
that
it
might
not
bée
héere
in
this
citie
,
for
that
the
imprisonment
of
so
high
Princes
&
knights
as
be
héere
present
,
might
grow
vnto
great
perill
&
danger
,
and
great
disturbance
to
vse
his
will
of
his
prisoners
,
after
they
bée
ouercome
.
And
for
that
the
security
of
all
parts
shall
be
more
certaine
to
auoid
the
inconueniences
that
may
happen
to
the
contrarie
,
it
shall
be
good
,
and
seemeth
vnto
me
very
conuenient
,
that
these
trials
do
passe
at
the
bridge
of
the
white
Iasper
ston
,
that
which
is
on
the
first
arme
of
the
fiue
Riuers
,
which
runneth
into
the
Riuer
of
Danubia
,
and
runneth
into
the
Sea
Maditaraneo
,
which
is
in
the
confines
&
vtter
parts
of
this
mightie
Empire
,
wheras
the
Prince
Rodaran
shall
tarrie
and
abide
the
comming
of
all
such
knights
as
will
combat
in
the
defence
of
this
demand
,
and
neuer
to
depart
the
field
till
such
time
as
hée
bée
ouercome
,
or
else
to
remaine
with
the
victorie
of
all
Knights
,
of
what
estate
and
same
so
euer
they
bée
.
And
for
securitie
,
that
the
prince
Rodaran
shall
performe
&
kéepe
all
that
is
said
,
according
vnto
the
order
of
knighthood
,
hée
shall
giue
his
gage
afore
all
and
vnto
all
that
is
in
this
great
hall
.
And
therewith
the
Prince
Rodaran
did
throw
his
gantlet
so
high
,
that
all
those
which
were
there
might
sée
it
,
in
token
of
defiaunce
.
And
without
saying
any
more
,
or
dooing
any
reuerence
,
they
departed
out
of
the
great
hal
,
leauing
amongst
all
them
that
were
therein
a
great
laughter
,
as
well
at
the
demaund
of
the
Gentlewoman
,
as
at
the
disposition
of
the
Dwarfes
,
although
they
receiued
great
contentment
at
the
disposition
of
the
knight
,
and
ther
were
many
that
were
very
desirous
to
make
the
first
proofe
with
him
,
and
béeléeued
of
a
certaintie
,
that
according
as
hée
was
of
members
and
stature
,
that
hée
should
bée
of
great
force
and
strength
.
With
this
desire
there
were
diuerse
that
arose
vp
from
the
table
,
and
went
vnto
the
Emperour
,
&
asked
lisence
that
they
might
go
&
prooue
themselues
with
that
knight
,
amongst
the
which
,
the
first
was
that
good
Knight
Rodamarte
,
Prince
of
the
Rhodes
,
a
yong
Knight
,
&
one
of
the
valiantest
that
was
in
the
Emperours
Court.
Likewise
the
valiant
Prince
Rodafeo
,
who
was
also
a
very
good
Knight
,
and
both
of
them
in
loue
with
faire
ladies
that
were
with
the
Empresse
,
the
one
of
them
was
daughter
vnto
the
king
of
Bohemia
,
called
Amilinia
,
&
the
other
was
daughter
vnto
the
king
of
Dalmatia
,
called
Salandria
,
who
receiuing
great
contentment
of
theyr
valiant
desires
&
good
dispositions
,
did
shew
vnto
them
great
fauour
&
curtesie
determining
to
take
them
to
bée
their
husbands
.
Likewise
in
this
demaund
ther
lacked
not
the
valiant
Brandizel
,
who
sustained
great
passions
with
the
griefe
that
hée
receiued
for
the
absence
of
the
fayre
Princesse
Clarinea
,
would
in
hir
absence
doo
hir
this
seruice
,
for
that
the
beauty
of
that
Gentlewoman
was
nothing
in
comparison
vnto
his
Lady
.
And
with
no
lesse
good
will
the
good
king
Sacridoro
came
foorth
to
aske
lisence
,
&
after
him
Rosicleer
,
&
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
all
being
on
foot
before
the
Emperour
,
did
desire
him
to
giue
them
lisence
to
giue
the
first
attempt
:
who
with
a
pleasant
laughter
said
that
he
knew
not
what
to
say
in
that
case
,
but
did
remit
it
vnto
the
Princesse
Claridiana
,
that
she
shuld
determine
what
they
should
doo
therin
.
Who
did
excuse
hir selfe
in
all
that
euer
shée
could
,
&
did
remit
it
vnto
the
princesse
Lindabrides
,
yet
for
all
that
it
fell
out
that
in
the
ende
shee
must
néeds
determine
and
conclude
the
great
contention
that
was
amongst
all
those
Knights
,
who
should
bée
the
first
that
should
giue
the
attempt
.
So
shée
concluded
that
the
first
enterprise
should
hée
giuen
by
him
that
dyd
first
aske
lisence
of
the
Emperour
,
and
next
vnto
him
the
second
that
demaunded
lisence
,
and
so
the
third
,
in
the
same
order
as
they
craued
lisence
.
And
although
it
was
a
griefe
vnto
them
which
should
bée
the
last
,
hauing
for
certayntie
that
the
first
would
conclude
the
demaund
of
Rodaran
,
yet
for
all
that
they
thought
the
sentence
iust
and
right
which
was
giuen
by
the
royall
Princesse
Claridiana
,
who
if
at
that
time
had
béene
lawfull
,
with
a
very
good
will
she
wold
haue
béene
the
first
hir selfe
that
should
haue
defended
hir
owne
beautie
,
rather
then
to
haue
made
the
order
and
repetition
shée
did
vnto
the
knights
.
The
Prince
Rodamarte
would
presently
haue
departed
in
the
demand
,
but
the
Emperour
by
no
meanes
would
consent
ther
vnto
,
but
said
that
in
all
that
day
they
shuld
not
meddle
therin
,
neither
should
any
knight
arme
himselfe
,
neither
doo
any
other
thing
but
spend
the
time
in
pastime
&
plesure
,
&
celebrate
that
feast
for
the
acknowledging
of
his
sons
,
&
how
that
they
had
time
inough
afterward
to
accomplish
their
desires
.
So
that
they
spent
the
time
in
no
other
thing
,
but
in
making
of
mirth
and
pastime
,
with
meruailous
straunge
&
new
inuentions
,
holden
in
the
place
of
that
great
Citie
by
the
Citizens
,
that
gaue
great
contentment
vnto
all
the
Knights
,
who
likewise
did
dance
with
the
Ladies
and
Damsells
of
the
Empresse
,
who
were
verie
faire
and
pleasant
.
Likewise
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
did
dance
with
the
princesse
Claridiana
,
&
with
the
princesse
Lindabrides
,
with
so
gentle
&
curteous
demeanour
,
that
they
receiued
so
great
contentment
therein
,
as
to
sée
him
in
his
armour
,
although
according
vnto
his
déepe
thoughts
,
he
had
more
care
to
rule
his
eies
to
béeholde
them
in
equall
manner
,
then
hée
had
to
kéepe
his
féete
in
compasse
in
his
dauncing
.
So
the
night
drew
on
,
&
all
those
which
dined
with
the
Emperour
did
likewise
sup
with
him
,
and
after
supper
they
passed
away
the
most
part
of
the
night
in
dauncing
and
mirth
.
At
which
tune
the
princesse
Lindabrides
,
although
it
was
great
griefe
vnto
hir
for
to
depart
from
the
presence
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
yet
would
shée
returne
vnto
hir
Chariot
.
The
Emperor
and
the
Empresse
did
importunate
hir
very
much
for
to
tarry
ther
,
and
to
remaine
in
the
Pallace
,
but
all
that
euer
they
could
doe
d●…d
profit
nothing
at
all
.
So
shée
returned
vnto
hir
Chariot
,
accompanied
with
the
Emperour
and
all
the
rest
of
the
Princes
and
knights
,
til
such
time
as
shée
was
within
the
Chariot
,
whereas
they
did
all
take
their
leaue
of
hir
,
and
returned
backe
,
vnto
the
pallace
,
which
was
a
great
griefe
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
for
that
hée
could
not
carry
and
remaine
to
sléepe
in
the
Charior
as
he
was
wont
to
doo
,
and
no
lesse
was
the
griefe
of
the
princesse
Lindabrides
when
she
saw
him
depart
,
and
although
the
acknowledging
of
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
did
cause
hir
very
much
to
reioyce
for
that
hée
was
of
so
high
estate
,
yet
she
would
for
hir
part
haue
giuen
the
halfe
of
hir
lands
,
vpon
the
condition
that
she
had
neuer
knowen
him
what
he
was
,
for
that
she
was
better
in
quiet
when
shée
vnderstood
no
other
thing
but
onely
his
great
val
our
&
bounty
,
and
the
name
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
the
great
securitie
that
shée
had
to
marry
with
him
,
then
now
to
know
him
to
bée
of
so
high
blood
and
linage
,
wich
the
perill
that
shée
doth
suspect
,
and
a
thing
apparaunt
beefore
hir
eies
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
in
all
that
night
shée
could
not
take
any
rest
nor
sléepe
,
with
the
great
care
and
griefe
which
shée
receiued
,
and
hir
minde
so
tumbled
&
tossed
with
diuerse
such
strange
thoughts
concerning
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
that
neuer
in
all
hir
life
she
found
hir selfe
in
the
like
confusion
.
For
one
way
considering
with
what
intent
shée
departed
out
of
hir
owne
Countrie
,
and
how
that
hir
brother
the
Prince
Meridian
was
gone
and
left
hir
,
&
another
way
,
the
acknowledging
of
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
the
renouncing
of
his
law
,
and
likewise
the
comming
of
the
Princesse
Claridiana
,
with
hir
estate
,
and
surmounting
beautie
,
did
cause
hir
to
suspect
very
much
that
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
would
wholy
giue
ouer
the
enterprise
that
hée
had
taken
in
hand
,
so
that
she
did
account
hir selfe
to
bée
the
vnhappiest
and
most
vnfortunatest
Damsell
that
was
borne
into
the
world
,
and
with
the
great
griefe
that
this
doubtful
thought
did
cause
in
hir
,
shée
saide
.
Oh
high
and
diuine
prouidence
of
the
immortall
Gods
,
whom
all
the
whole
nation
of
the
Oriental
and
Septentrionall
Scythians
doo
worship
,
with
reason
hath
your
diuine
power
to
permit
,
that
vpon
the
vnhappie
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
such
strange
things
should
be
shewed
,
as
it
for
that
it
should
bée
published
in
all
the
world
,
how
that
I
was
constrained
to
bannish
my selfe
from
mine
owne
Country
,
and
to
trauaile
in
the
world
to
séeke
other
straunge
Countries
,
wheras
onely
for
one
Knight
I
doo
hate
&
abhor
myne
owne
life
,
and
my
libertie
brought
into
great
captiuitie
?
Oh
how
much
it
had
béene
better
for
mée
to
haue
béene
accounted
amongst
the
meaner
sort
of
Gentlewomen
,
for
then
I
should
not
haue
had
reason
to
haue
procured
the
extreamest
of
all
Knights
,
neither
should
I
haue
had
any
reason
to
captiue
my selfe
for
him
,
but
now
reson
doth
require
that
I
despaire
with
my selfe
,
for
my
fortune
doth
lack
to
giue
mée
any
aide
or
remedy
:
Oh
immortall
gods
,
séeing
that
in
the
strangenes
of
my
beautie
,
you
would
manifest
your
high
and
mightie
power
,
wherfore
did
you
not
onely
make
mée
and
no
other
,
to
bée
the
deseruer
of
him
,
that
onely
doth
deserue
to
inioye
my
great
beautie
and
fayrenesse
:
Wherfore
did
you
make
another
so
equall
vnto
mée
,
which
is
the
occasion
that
I
doo
sustaine
this
great
griefe
,
I
would
it
were
your
diuine
pleasure
,
that
séeing
alone
I
doo
deserue
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
that
the
Princesse
Claridiana
might
hée
shée
,
for
that
shée
beeing
the
onely
deseruer
of
him
,
will
bée
the
occasion
to
excuse
béetwixt
vs
a
great
iealousie
and
cruell
contention
,
for
that
I
had
rather
to
account
my selfe
vnworthie
of
such
a
Knight
,
then
to
inioy
him
with
so
equall
a
companion
,
for
that
neither
of
vs
in
this
sort
can
liue
in
any
securitie
,
but
will
rather
bée
a
continuall
dying
,
for
béeing
vnto
one
alone
,
the
remembraunce
of
the
other
will
bée
the
occasion
of
great
daunger
,
and
shée
which
should
bée
forgotten
,
in
remembring
the
victorie
of
the
other
,
would
cause
in
hir
a
cruell
and
mortall
griefe
:
Oh
I
am
without
all
good
Fortune
,
what
shall
I
dooe
,
considering
that
I
am
none
but
my selfe
,
whether
shall
I
goe
,
béeing
a
prisoner
;
What
comfort
shall
I
take
séeing
that
I
am
whithout
all
remedy
?
What
counsaile
shall
I
take
hauing
no
vnderstanding
,
neither
is
there
any
power
to
perswade
mée
to
reason
,
but
will
rather
the
more
increase
my
sorrow
and
griefe
?
What
shall
I
doo
,
if
I
doo
remaine
héere
,
I
shall
lack
reson
to
sustaine
my selfe
,
&
considering
my
high
estate
,
will
cause
a
farther
griefe
:
&
againe
,
the
sight
of
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
cannot
bee
so
ioyfull
vnto
mée
,
as
the
presence
of
Claridiana
will
bée
hurtfull
.
And
if
I
depart
out
of
this
Countrie
,
and
returned
vnto
mine
owne
,
it
will
be
no
other
thing
but
to
separate
the
life
and
soule
from
the
body
.
And
to
liue
without
the
presence
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
will
bée
a
life
vnto
mée
,
as
vnto
those
who
are
in
the
darke
,
and
see
no
light
.
But
alasse
what
do
I
say
,
although
they
receiue
nor
sée
no
light
,
yet
the
paine
doth
not
trouble
them
:
but
it
I
do
finde
my selfe
banished
out
of
the
presence
of
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
there
can
bée
no
paine
in
the
world
compared
vnto
that
which
I
shall
suffer
.
Oh
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
how
mightie
and
straunge
is
your
Fortune
,
that
onely
in
your
hands
doth
remaine
the
whole
remedie
of
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
shee
who
in
beautie
and
fairenesse
is
excellent
and
doth
excéede
,
and
amongst
all
Ladies
is
the
most
highest
,
and
yet
will
let
to
giue
hir
remedie
,
but
rather
condempne
hir
vnto
cruell
death
.
Wherefore
haue
I
so
many
Lordshippes
and
kingdoms
,
with
so
many
thousaads
of
people
,
which
the
diuine
Gods
hath
giuen
vnto
mee
,
when
that
with
all
those
ioyntly
with
my
straunge
&
exquisite
beautie
,
I
cannot
subiect
the
will
of
one
alone
Knight
.
The
sorrowfull
Princesse
Lindabrides
had
scarce
made
an
ende
of
saying
these
words
,
when
that
voyde
of
all
memorie
and
vnderstanding
,
shée
remayned
vpon
hir
bed
as
one
that
were
dead
,
whereas
shée
remained
all
that
night
,
without
comming
againe
to
hir selfe
.
With
no
lesse
sorrow
and
griefe
the
worthie
Knight
of
the
Sunne
passed
away
the
night
without
sléepe
,
calling
to
minde
all
that
had
passed
béetwixt
him
and
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
and
the
great
loue
which
vnto
that
day
he
bare
vnto
hir
,
ioyntlye
with
his
meruailous
surpassing
beautie
:
which
was
in
such
sort
figu●…ed
in
his
hart
,
that
it
made
great
resistance
against
the
loue
which
he
had
vnto
the
princesse
Claridiana
,
in
especiall
,
when
she
was
not
in
presence
.
But
being
both
present
,
the
great
liking
he
had
of
the
royall
Princes
,
did
almost
ouer
come
him
:
who
at
that
time
neither
more
nor
lesse
,
did
take
as
little
canse
,
as
the
others
did
sléepe
.
For
that
the
great
loue
which
she
had
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sun
did
not
let
but
put
some
doubt
in
that
which
hir
wounded
hart
so
much
desired
.
And
although
the
highnesse
of
hir
estate
&
the
excellency
of
hir
beauty
,
did
almost
wholy
perswade
hir
of
securitie
,
that
the
knight
of
the
Sun
would
not
forget
hir
.
Yet
the
sight
of
the
princes
Lindabrides
,
and
hir
remaining
in
the
court
did
cause
in
hir
some
Ielosie
,
not
knowing
what
would
bee
the
end
of
that
hir
demaund
.
Likewise
she
had
great
doubt
in
hir
hope
:
For
that
at
such
time
as
the
princesse
should
returne
into
hir
owne
country
,
the
knight
of
the
Sun
could
not
doe
●…o
the
contrary
,
but
to
beare
hir
company
,
so
that
the
continuall
conuersation
of
them
two
together
,
would
be
the
occasion
of
that
,
which
being
in
hir
presence
,
might
be
excused
.
So
with
these
&
such
like
thoughts
,
they
passed
away
the
night
:
●…n
the
which
the
good
knight
of
Cupid
neither
more
nor
lesse
,
did
not
sléepe
very
much
,
whose
passions
are
not
to
be
accoūed
,
nor
compared
with
the
rest
.
For
if
I
should
héere
declare
●…ll
that
euer
he
passed
for
his
lady
&
mistresse
,
the
faire
prin●…es
Oliuia
,
all
this
history
were
not
sufficient
to
hold
it
,
al●…hough
it
were
very
much
bigger
.
It
is
sufficient
that
he
pas●…ed
away
the
night
with
no
lesse
care
,
then
the
others
that
●…
haue
told
you
of
:
although
his
passions
were
not
so
straunge
●…nto
him
,
as
it
was
vnto
the
other
their
griefes
.
But
the
fu●…e
of
his
sorow
was
somewhat
apeased
,
with
the
hope
that
●…e
had
for
to
be
reuenged
on
him
,
who
was
the
occasion
of
●…ll
his
euill
&
mortall
paine
.
So
at
that
time
it
was
●…oysed
〈◊〉
the
great
Citie
of
Constantinople
,
and
in
all
the
whole
Empire
of
Greece
,
the
great
army
that
was
making
in
a
redinesse
in
england
,
&
the
occasion
wherfore
they
did
ordaine
the
same
.
Which
was
the
occasion
that
the
sorowfull
knight
of
Cupid
,
did
thinke
euery
day
a
whole
yeare
,
with
the
great
desire
he
had
to
sée
himselfe
with
the
prince
don
Siluerio
,
not
for
that
he
would
haue
any
recompence
at
his
hands
,
for
that
it
séemed
vnto
him
,
that
he
was
in
no
fault
,
but
onely
to
giue
to
vnderstand
vnto
the
princes
Oliuia
,
the
small
reason
that
she
had
so
for
to
cast
him
off
.
So
in
this
sort
they
passed
away
all
that
night
,
very
conformable
in
their
sléeping
&
rests
,
but
very
different
in
their
variable
and
pensiue
thoughts
.
Who
the
valiant
Rodaran
was
,
and
the
Damsell
,
and
the
occasion
wherefore
they
came
vnto
the
Court
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
.
Cap.
28.
THe
comming
of
this
valiant
knight
Rodaran
vnto
the
court
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
was
not
so
voide
of
occasion
,
but
that
there
was
comprehended
there
in
great
disc●…ipt
,
mischiefe
,
&
treason
:
&
an
euill
preiudiciall
vnto
all
Christendome
,
&
hurtfull
vnto
the
best
princes
&
Knights
therin
.
All
the
which
came
in
such
order
knit
&
put
together
,
that
it
lacked
but
little
all
to
be
lost
,
if
it
had
not
ben
by
the
di●…ine
prouidence
,
(
who
forgetting
the
offences
〈◊〉
his
people
)
did
by
his
infinit
mercy
&
goodnesse
prouide
a
remedy
:
although
many
times
,
for
the
sins
of
the
people
,
doth
permit
many
&
continuall
persecucions
,
done
by
the
vnbeléeuers
,
vpon
the
Christians
,
to
make
them
the
better
to
know
him
,
&
to
leaue
all
their
euill
&
wickednesse
,
〈◊〉
to
returne
vnto
him
.
Yet
for
all
that
,
hée
neuer
doth
so
abhorre
&
leaue
them
,
for
to
bring
the
Christians
vnto
vtter
confusion
&
end
:
as
it
hath
apeared
in
the
old
and
ancient
times
,
amongst
the
lawes
&
customes
of
men
,
nor
neuer
will
so
long
as
this
world
shall
endure
.
You
doe
well
remember
how
that
in
this
history
hath
●…en
told
you
,
that
at
such
time
as
the
worthy
knight
of
the
Sunne
did
first
sée
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
hee
did
partly
vnderstand
of
the
mighty
power
of
the
emperour
Alicandro
,
hir
father
,
how
that
he
was
king
ouer
the
Scithians
,
&
emperour
ouer
the
Tartarians
,
&
Lord
ouer
all
the
Indians
&
Regions
orientals
,
from
whence
it
grew
that
he
was
had
in
reputation
of
the
greatest
&
mightiest
prince
in
all
the
world
.
Likewise
he
was
lord
of
the
great
Cataya
,
wheras
is
that
mighty
citie
which
is
of
one
hundreth
miles
compasse
,
&
of
all
the
rest
that
is
in
the
Orientall
India
,
in
that
part
wheras
amongst
all
his
subiects
he
was
called
the
mightye
king
of
kings
,
Emperour
of
the
Tartarians
,
&
the
Lord
of
the
Orientall
Indians
,
son
&
heirs
vnto
the
high
Gods
.
This
title
they
gaue
vnto
him
,
because
the
people
of
these
countries
had
it
for
a
law
&
custome
amongst
them
,
&
alwaies
had
in
reuerence
his
predecessours
which
were
Emperours
,
before
the
emperour
Alicandro
,
to
be
sons
&
heires
of
their
false
gods
,
in
whom
they
did
all
beléeue
&
worship
.
Besides
all
this
,
this
mighty
emperour
had
in
his
subiection
all
the
kings
&
lords
that
were
in
the
orientall
part
of
the
Indians
,
vnto
the
meridionall
,
which
are
nine
kingdomes
,
all
very
great
&
mighty
,
and
full
of
great
riches
:
so
that
with
great
reason
they
might
say
,
that
he
was
the
mightiest
emperour
&
king
in
all
the
wor●…h
.
Heere
the
History
saith
that
many
●…e
deceiued
to
thinke
that
this
mightie
empire
should
be
christians
,
for
although
they
haue
amongst
them
some
part
of
the
law
,
which
God
gaue
vnto
that
great
Captayne
Moses
,
yet
theyr
law
doeth
differ
very
farre
from
the
true
and
perfect
law
of
Iesus
Christ
,
for
that
they
bee
all
Idolaters
,
and
euery
one
of
these
kings
doeth
béeléeue
in
that
which
seemeth
vnto
him
best
,
for
that
there
is
no
law
nor
commaundement
to
make
them
incline
to
anye
kinde
of
goodnesse
for
the
sauegarde
of
their
owne
soules
.
So
it
happened
on
a
time
as
this
mightie
Emperour
Alicandro
was
in
his
great
city
of
Neptaya
,
which
is
in
Cataya
the
great
,
very
pensiue
&
sad
,
for
that
hee
could
héere
no
newes
of
the
children
▪
the
Prince
Meridian
&
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
reprehending
himselfe
very
much
,
for
hee
had
so
sent
them
foorth
into
the
world
.
One
day
béeing
accompanied
with
all
his
mightye
Knights
&
lords
his
subiects
,
he
receiued
so
great
sorrow
and
griefe
in
the
remembring
of
his
children
,
that
it
caused
him
to
wéepe
.
And
leaning
his
chéeke
vpon
one
of
his
hands
,
hée
shed
forth
many
salt
teares
which
ran
down
vpon
his
white
face
.
The
which
being
séene
by
those
péeres
his
subiects
,
they
were
all
very
much
amazed
,
what
should
bee
the
occasion
that
the
Emperour
should
wéepe
.
So
before
that
any
did
arise
vp
to
demaund
of
him
the
occasion
,
ther
arose
vp
amongst
them
a
king
,
who
was
king
of
Gedrosia
,
an
old
man
of
more
then
one
hundreth
yeares
,
who
amongst
all
the
rest
present
,
was
estéemed
to
be
the
wisest
in
Astrologie
,
&
deuination
,
that
could
be
found
in
all
Asia
.
And
all
they
did
giue
so
great
credit
vnto
that
which
he
did
tell
them
should
happen
,
as
though
it
had
ben
all
ready
accomplished
:
the
which
king
dyd
wéepe
very
bitterly
,
&
with
so
great
sorrow
,
that
almost
he
could
not
speake
,
but
yet
he
said
.
Oh
high
&
mighty
king
of
the
Scythians
,
&
Emperour
of
the
Tartarians
,
if
you
had
as
good
iudgement
of
the
knowledge
of
things
to
come
héere
after
,
as
now
to
conceiue
in
matters
present
,
then
wo●…ld
you
leue
of
this
great
wéepings
for
your
children
,
who
are
very
well
&
in
health
,
&
in
place
whereas
they
are
very
much
honored
and
had
in
estimacion
as
they
doe
deserue
.
For
that
the
time
will
come
that
thou
shalt
wéepe
and
bewaile
,
thine
owne
losse
and
deste●…ction
,
of
all
thy
vassalles
and
subiectes
,
with
whose
blood
,
all
the
féeldes
of
the
mightie
Empire
of
Greece
▪
I
doe
see
be
sprinkled
,
and
yet
I
cannot
atchiue
to
know
how
,
nor
the
occasion
therof
:
but
onely
I
doe
sée
by
great
signes
and
notable
tokens
of
the
colestiall
influences
,
and
my
knowledge
doth
so
farre
extend
▪
that
I
doe
know
,
that
my
daies
doth
draw
vnto
an
end
,
and
I
cannot
endure
long
.
In
the
grecian
Empire
he
that
is
the
most
mightiest
king
&
Emperor
&
greatest
Lord
in
all
the
world
,
shall
loose
his
great
strength
,
&
ha●…ing
lost
his
owne
liberty
,
the
most
valiantest
&
worthyest
knights
that
shall
be
ther
at
that
present
,
shall
loose
their
liues
and
the
quantitie
shall
be
so
great
,
that
the
waters
of
Inno
shall
loose
their
christallyne
colour
,
and
shall
be
changed
into
red
blood
,
which
shall
giue
testimony
of
the
greatest
destruction
of
Knights
that
euer
hath
bene
in
the
world
.
The
which
I
cannot
by
my
knowledge
atchieue
nor
thinke
to
fall
vpon
any
other
,
but
vpon
thée
,
for
that
at
this
present
thou
art
the
most
mightiest
Emperour
in
all
the
world
.
And
if
it
bée
so
that
vnto
my
words
you
or
any
of
yours
do
giue
any
credit
,
procure
out
of
hand
with
great
wisdome
to
seeke
remedy
to
preuent
the
same
,
and
to
cut
off
so
great
an
euill
as
is
prognosticated
against
vs
.
And
if
vnto
these
my
words
you
will
giue
no
credite
,
the
time
it selfe
will
giue
a
perfect
testimonie
of
this
that
I
haue
said
,
when
that
you
shall
haue
no
time
nor
space
for
to
giue
any
remedy
at
all
vnto
the
same
.
Without
saying
any
more
this
old
king
of
Gedrosia
,
did
set
himselfe
downe
againe
in
his
place
,
leauing
this
mighty
emperour
&
all
the
other
kings
and
Knights
that
were
in
that
great
hall
,
very
much
amazed
at
the
words
which
hee
had
spoken
,
&
knew
not
what
to
say
,
but
being
amazed
they
did
looke
one
vpon
another
,
&
spake
neuer
a
word
.
But
this
mighty
Emperour
who
alwaies
found
the
prognosticating
&
deuining
of
this
old
king
to
be
true
,
yet
he
thought
this
to
bée
a
thing
impossible
,
&
not
to
giue
any
credit
thervnto
,
but
yet
to
heare
farther
what
he
would
say
,
after
a
certaine
space
that
he
had
bethought
himselfe
,
he
said
.
The
great
wisedome
which
I
doe
know
to
bée
in
you
,
good
king
of
Gedrosia
,
and
the
truth
which
you
haue
sayd
,
that
the
cause
of
my
wéeping
was
the
remembraunce
and
tal●…ing
to
minde
my
louing
children
,
and
the
great
sorrow
and
griefe
which
I
doe
receiue
by
their
absence
,
is
a
sufficient
peswasion
that
I
&
all
that
be
heere
present
should
giue
wholy
credit
vnto
all
this
which
you
haue
said
,
but
yet
it
is
not
knowen
vnto
you
&
all
this
nobility
,
that
my
power
and
strength
is
such
&
of
so
great
force
,
that
if
all
the
whole
world
should
ioyne
together
,
&
make
their
confederacie
against
me
,
yet
were
they
not
sufficient
to
bring
me
vnto
that
estate
to
be
ouercome
,
neither
once
to
abate
any
point
of
my
mighty
power
,
much
lesse
the
Empire
of
Greece
,
for
that
I
am
fully
perswaded
that
the
least
of
you
héere
present
,
with
the
power
which
you
haue
in
your
kingdome
,
is
sufficient
to
destroy
it
,
&
to
consume
it
with
fire
&
v●…ter
ruine
(
if
any
occasion
of
controuersie
should
be
betwixt
vs
)
as
yet
ther
is
none
,
neither
is
ther
any
mistrust
of
the
same
,
for
that
it
is
a
country
very
strange
vnto
vs
,
and
likewise
very
far
of
from
this
Country
.
When
the
Emperour
had
said
these
words
hée
helde
his
peace
&
shewed
so
mery
semblance
and
countenance
,
that
it
séemed
vnto
the
king
of
Gedrosia
that
the
Emperour
gaue
but
small
credit
vnto
that
which
he
had
said
,
who
with
great
anger
arose
vp
againe
and
sayd
.
High
and
mighty
Emperour
,
the
great
confidence
&
trust
that
you
haue
in
your
high
estate
and
power
doth
cause
you
to
make
a
iest
at
these
things
which
I
haue
told
you
,
for
that
it
séemeth
a
thing
impossible
,
without
any
consideration
,
how
that
ther
is
no
securitie
of
worldly
things
,
for
when
a
man
doth
thinke
himselfe
to
be
most
surest
,
then
he
is
farthest
off
,
&
as
it
doth
happen
vnto
all
estates
,
so
likewise
high
&
mighty
Princes
doe
fall
and
come
vnto
destruction
,
euen
at
such
time
as
they
account
themselues
to
be
in
the
greatest
fauour
of
Fortune
,
then
is
their
fall
the
greater
.
And
héere
I
doe
tell
you
againe
for
a
certainty
,
that
all
that
which
I
haue
told
is
of
a
truth
,
&
shall
come
to
passe
,
without
failing
any
iot
therof
.
And
for
that
you
shall
not
put
so
great
confidence
in
the
mighty
power
&
strength
which
you
haue
▪
héere
I
do
giue
you
to
vnderstand
,
that
before
one
yéere
doth
come
about
th●…r
shal
,
be
●…oyned
together
in
the
great
citie
of
Constantinople
,
which
is
in
the
empire
of
Grecit
(
that
you
haue
in
so
little
estimation
)
such
a
number
of
Knights
,
although
not
very
many
,
yet
they
shall
be
such
,
that
they
alone
shall
be
sufficient
(
being
together
)
for
to
destroy
the
greatest
and
mightiest
army
that
you
and
all
your
subiects
,
in
their
kingdomes
&
Lordships
can
ioyne
together
.
And
if
that
out
of
hand
you
do
not
procure
that
these
knights
,
(
or
at
the
least
)
the
principallest
of
them
may
loose
their
liues
,
to
auoide
the
inconueniences
that
are
pronounced
against
vs
.
And
if
you
wil
not
,
héere
I
doe
returne
&
say
to
you
againe
,
that
the
sharpe
edges
of
their
●…ine
cutting
swords
shall
vse
such
cruelty
vpon
yours
,
that
the
small
brookes
shall
be
turned
into
great
Riuers
with
their
blouds
.
Therfore
considering
my
duty
,
&
that
which
I
doe
owe
vnto
your
high
estate
,
to
giue
whole
credit
vnto
these
my
words
,
&
to
prouid
such
remedy
as
shall
be
conuenient
for
so
great
a
perill
prepared
against
vs
.
Without
speaking
any
more
wordes
this
olde
king
of
Gedrosia
set
himselfe
agayne
in
his
place
,
leauing
this
mightye
Emperour
and
all
those
Kings
and
Nobles
that
were
ther
present
,
much
more
amazed
then
they
were
at
the
first
,
although
they
were
fully
perswaded
and
béeléeued
of
a
certainty
,
that
it
was
impossible
to
finde
in
all
the
world
so
many
Knightes
that
might
compare
themselues
with
them
that
were
at
that
present
in
that
court
,
no
not
by
a
great
deale
,
whith
was
the
occasion
that
wheras
beefore
they
did
not
giue
full
credit
vnto
those
wordes
which
the
King
Gedrosia
had
sayde
.
At
this
time
they
gaue
lesse
and
made
a
mocke
at
him
and
at
his
diuinations
,
but
yet
for
that
the
Emperour
Alicandro
was
verye
wise
,
and
hadde
great
experience
of
the
small
security
that
was
in
the
prosperous
estates
of
this
transitorye
worlde
,
with
a
wan
colour
&
sorrowfull
semblance
,
he
fell
in
a
great
imagination
&
déepe
thought
,
musing
vpon
the
words
which
the
King
Gedrosia
had
said
.
And
as
the
Emperour
was
in
this
sort
a
great
while
without
speaking
any
word
,
but
very
pensiue
&
heauie
,
amongst
the
rest
of
all
those
kings
&
nobles
that
were
in
that
great
hall
,
the
valiant
Rodaran
arose
vp
&
put
himself
on
foot
,
who
was
king
of
Arabia
,
subiect
vnto
the
Emperour
Alicandro
,
a
young
man
,
&
so
valiant
,
that
in
all
Asia
there
was
not
a
knight
to
be
found
,
that
by
a
great
deale
was
able
to
compare
himself
with
him
in
mighty
prowesse
&
feates
of
armes
,
and
for
that
he
was
so
furious
and
stubburne
,
he
was
feared
of
all
,
&
all
that
were
in
the
whole
Empire
of
Tartaria
,
were
very
desirous
to
pleasure
him
,
and
not
one
that
durst
anger
him
in
any
respect
,
except
it
were
that
valiant
Prince
Meridian
,
with
whom
he
would
neuer
contend
nor
procure
to
combat
,
yet
ther
was
neuer
other
knight
nor
Giant
that
euer
did
abide
the
battaile
with
him
one
houre
.
This
Rodaran
with
great
courage
and
anger
,
as
though
fire
should
procéed
out
of
his
eies
,
béegan
and
said
as
followeth
.
I
doe
not
know
high
&
mighty
emperour
of
Tartaria
,
with
what
reason
is
attributed
vnto
thee
the
name
of
the
diuine
,
&
the
parentage
that
you
haue
of
the
high
&
diuine
Gods
,
that
you
doe
suffer
in
your
presence
,
&
in
the
presence
of
so
many
mightie
kings
&
lords
your
subiects
,
that
the
king
of
Gedrosia
should
be
so
bold
&
hardy
to
speake
these
blasphemies
,
the
which
he
hath
said
,
for
that
I
do
beléeue
,
that
if
all
the
power
of
the
gods
,
&
the
rest
of
all
the
whole
world
besides
,
shuld
ioyne
themselues
together
by
the
Deity
that
you
haue
receiued
by
your
predecessors
,
if
they
were
all
ioyned
together
,
yet
were
they
not
sufficient
to
comprehend
this
,
the
which
the
king
hath
saide
,
much
lesse
the
Emperour
of
Greece
,
and
the
knights
that
shall
there
be
assembled
and
ioyned
together
.
And
héere
I
doe
sweare
vnto
you
by
the
order
of
Knighthood
that
I
haue
receiued
,
and
by
my
kinglie
estate
,
that
if
I
had
them
all
together
in
the
fielde
against
mée
,
I
doo
thinke
to
kill
and
destroy
them
all
,
or
make
them
to
yeeld
as
prisoners
.
And
againe
,
if
it
be
so
that
the
diuinations
of
this
olde
King
of
Gedrosia
doo
put
any
feare
or
dreade
into
your
harts
,
and
that
his
words
should
séeme
vnto
you
to
bée
true
,
and
that
the
remedy
the
which
hée
hath
ordained
will
bée
sufficient
for
to
auoide
the
great
inconueniences
,
in
making
away
those
knights
.
Heere
beefore
your
diuine
highnesse
,
and
beefore
all
that
bée
héere
present
I
doo
promise
,
that
at
such
time
as
these
knights
shal
assemble
and
ioyne
together
in
the
Citie
of
Constantinople
,
to
bée
there
present
in
that
Court
,
and
will
maintaine
and
defend
that
the
Quéene
Carmania
,
my
well
béeloued
Lady
and
mistris
,
is
the
most
fayrest
Lady
in
all
the
world
.
And
with
all
those
that
shall
say
vnto
the
contrarie
,
vppon
the
same
reason
I
wil
combat
with
him
,
vntill
such
time
as
one
of
vs
bée
dead
or
yéelded
prisoner
vnto
the
other
,
vpon
condition
that
hée
who
hath
the
victorie
,
shall
vse
his
pleasure
with
him
that
is
ouercome
.
So
that
in
this
sort
either
they
shall
remaine
the
most
weakest
and
cowardliest
knights
in
the
world
,
or
else
I
will
bring
them
prisoners
beefore
your
presence
,
for
that
the
king
of
Gedrosia
may
loose
the
great
feare
which
he
hath
conceiued
of
them
.
When
hée
had
made
an
ende
of
speaking
,
there
was
not
one
King
nor
Knight
amongest
all
them
in
the
great
hall
that
durst
make
any
answere
vnto
those
proude
words
of
Rodaran
,
but
onely
the
king
of
Gedrosia
,
who
rising
vpon
his
féete
did
answere
him
,
saying
.
If
thou
wert
so
valiaunt
of
armes
and
déedes
Rodaran
,
as
proude
in
thy
words
,
then
should
I
bée
fully
certified
,
that
thou
wouldest
bée
sufficient
to
accomplish
much
more
then
héere
thou
hast
said
,
and
that
there
were
not
in
all
the
world
a
Knight
that
might
compare
himselfe
with
thée
,
but
for
that
thy
strength
and
prowesse
is
far
different
and
contrarie
vnto
thy
great
pride
,
héere
I
doo
giue
thée
to
vnderstande
that
this
day
twelue
moneths
there
shall
bée
such
Knights
assembled
and
ioyned
together
in
Constantinople
,
that
whereas
thou
shalt
excéede
them
in
the
one
,
they
shall
excéede
thée
in
the
other
.
And
it
shall
happen
vnto
thée
many
houres
in
the
daye
that
thou
shalt
acknowledge
this
to
bée
true
,
all
this
which
I
haue
sayde
vnto
thée
,
although
at
this
present
it
séemeth
vnto
thée
to
be
a
fable
and
lye
.
And
I
doo
desire
no
other
reuengement
for
the
iniury
which
I
haue
receiued
at
thy
hands
,
but
onely
the
reprehension
which
thou
thy selfe
shalt
make
at
such
time
as
it
shall
bée
vnto
thée
well
knowen
.
And
for
that
my
words
shall
séeme
vnto
thée
to
be
of
lesse
credit
,
and
that
thou
shalt
haue
farther
experience
of
that
which
I
by
the
starres
and
celestiall
opperations
doo
vnderstand
and
know
,
héere
I
doo
giue
thée
to
vnderstand
(
that
if
thou
doost
goe
forwards
with
this
enterprise
which
thou
hast
promised
)
thou
shalt
finde
in
the
Citie
of
Constantinople
a
woman
,
who
with
hir
singular
beuty
&
fairnes
shal
far
excel
the
beuty
of
the
quéene
of
Carmania
,
thy
lady
,
&
with
the
great
force
&
strength
of
hir
arme
,
shall
abate
thy
courage
and
make
thée
to
yéeld
.
And
therewith
hée
held
his
peace
,
but
the
great
pride
of
that
valiant
Rodaran
encreased
,
in
such
sort
,
when
hée
heard
those
words
of
the
olde
King
Gedrosia
,
and
his
anger
was
so
great
,
that
if
the
Emperour
and
those
kings
which
were
there
present
had
not
disturbed
him
,
with
determined
purpose
hée
went
towards
him
to
haue
throwen
him
out
at
the
window
.
But
when
hée
saw
that
hée
could
not
execute
his
pretence
,
with
great
anger
and
courage
he
went
out
of
the
hall
,
swearing
great
oathes
,
that
hée
would
accomplish
and
performe
all
that
which
hee
had
promised
,
&
that
béeing
finished
,
to
take
reuengement
of
the
great
iniurie
which
hée
had
receiued
of
the
olde
king
Gedrosia
.
Wherewith
hée
left
all
that
were
ther
present
greatly
amazed
at
his
pride
and
hardinesse
.
And
so
departed
vnto
the
kingdome
of
Carmania
,
whereas
all
his
ioy
was
,
for
that
hée
was
amorous
of
the
Quéene
of
Carmania
,
who
was
in
great
royaltie
and
estate
,
and
very
faire
.
And
in
processe
of
time
finding
himselfe
in
great
fauour
with
hir
,
and
hauing
hir
aide
and
help
to
his
contentment
,
hée
straight
way
gaue
hir
to
vnderstand
of
all
that
which
had
passed
with
him
in
the
court
of
the
mightie
Emperour
of
Tartaria
,
and
of
his
promise
that
hée
had
made
beefore
all
those
which
were
there
present
,
in
saying
that
he
could
not
in
any
maner
of
wise
excuse
the
same
,
but
that
hée
must
néedes
béegin
the
enterprise
of
his
iourney
towardes
Greece
out
of
hand
.
The
Quéene
Carmania
was
very
wise
and
of
a
good
iudgement
and
vnderstanding
,
&
if
it
had
béene
in
hir
power
,
shée
would
very
faine
haue
hindred
this
iourney
,
and
for
that
shée
knew
very
well
the
condition
of
this
valiaunt
and
stout
Rodaran
,
and
that
there
were
none
that
were
able
to
perswade
him
from
the
contrarye
of
this
his
determined
purpose
,
shée
wold
not
by
any
means
say
ought
against
him
,
but
with
a
merrie
countenaunce
shée
dyd
offer
hir selfe
to
goe
with
him
into
Greece
,
vpon
condition
that
hée
would
grant
vnto
hir
one
thing
that
she
would
demand
of
him
,
if
his
pleasure
were
that
shée
should
goe
with
him
.
The
which
with
a
very
good
will
hee
did
graunt
vnto
hir
.
And
shée
promised
him
to
beare
him
companie
.
Then
dyd
they
ordaine
all
things
necessary
,
for
to
carry
with
him
on
his
iourney
,
but
halfe
the
yéere
was
almost
past
before
they
could
begin
to
trauaile
,
for
that
the
quéene
commanded
a
net
of
yron
to
be
made
,
very
arteficially
&
cunningly
wrought
,
&
it
could
not
bée
made
an
ende
of
in
any
shorter
time
.
And
although
that
Rodaran
did
often
times
aske
wherefore
the
same
was
made
,
yet
for
all
that
the
Quéene
would
neuer
tell
him
,
but
after
that
this
net
was
made
,
and
all
things
in
a
redinesse
,
this
valiant
Rodaran
&
the
Quéene
departed
out
of
the
Countrie
of
Carmania
,
&
carried
in
theyr
company
certaine
knights
and
Pages
which
were
necessary
,
and
after
that
they
had
passed
many
and
diuerse
countries
,
they
came
vnto
the
port
of
Tenedon
,
whereas
they
did
imbarke
themselues
,
and
tooke
their
way
towards
Greece
.
And
although
there
happened
vnto
this
mightie
Prince
in
his
iourney
many
strange
and
wonderfull
things
,
béecause
it
is
not
necessarie
,
this
Historie
doth
not
make
any
mention
thereof
,
but
onely
in
the
ende
of
many
daies
and
great
trauaile
,
they
ariued
in
Greece
,
not
far
from
Constantinople
.
This
valiaunt
Rodaran
was
determined
to
execute
his
enterprise
within
the
Citie
of
Constantinople
,
but
the
Quéene
of
Carmania
did
disturbe
him
,
and
sayde
,
that
now
was
the
time
come
that
hée
should
performe
the
gift
that
hée
had
promised
hir
beefore
hée
did
depart
out
of
Carmania
,
which
was
,
that
the
contension
which
should
passe
with
him
and
the
Knights
of
Greece
,
should
not
bée
executed
in
the
Citie
of
Constantinople
,
but
in
the
place
whereas
shée
would
appoynt
it
.
The
which
Rodaran
,
although
it
did
grieue
him
very
much
,
yet
durst
hée
not
say
against
it
béecause
hée
promised
hir
.
So
they
nauigated
all
along
the
shoare
,
till
they
came
vnto
the
Bridge
called
Iasp●…
,
which
is
the
first
passage
ouer
Danubia
towards
the
sea
,
and
was
the
most
strongest
that
was
vpon
all
the
riuer
,
and
furnished
full
of
Towres
and
battlements
,
and
especiallie
thrée
towers
of
great
force
and
admiration
,
the
one
at
the
entrie
vppon
the
Bridge
,
and
the
other
in
the
midst
,
and
the
third
at
the
farther
ende
,
all
wrought
with
fine
white
Iasper
stone
,
of
so
great
strength
,
that
it
séemed
impossible
to
bée
taken
or
wonne
by
force
of
armes
.
And
this
Bridge
was
mayntained
and
kept
by
the
Emperour
of
Greece
,
by
reason
that
the
people
which
doth
inhabit
on
the
one
side
of
the
fiue
armes
which
procéedeth
from
Danubia
,
and
runneth
into
the
sea
Fuxino
,
they
are
very
barbarous
,
furious
,
and
beastlie
,
and
many
times
they
doo
enter
into
that
Countri●…
and
doo
very
much
harme
therein
.
And
although
the
Emperour
would
make
a
conquest
ouer
them
,
as
diuers
times
hée
hath
put
it
in
practise
,
yet
hee
cannot
,
for
that
they
haue
neyther
Cities
,
Townes
,
nor
villages
,
neyther
any
dwelling
houses
,
but
onely
great
Caues
vnder
the
ground
,
whereas
they
doo
make
theyr
habitation
,
béecause
they
are
so
beastlie
and
brutish
.
In
consideration
whereof
it
dyd
behoue
the
Emperour
to
haue
that
bridge
very
stronge
and
excéeding
well
kept
,
and
it
was
for
that
alongst
the
Riuer
there
was
none
other
passage
.
When
this
valiant
Rodaran
and
the
Quéene
ariued
at
that
bridge
,
&
saw
it
to
bée
a
place
very
conuenient
for
their
purpose
,
straight
way
the
prince
Rodaran
did
prepare
himselfe
for
to
win
the
same
,
&
béeing
armed
&
in
very
good
order
,
hee
tooke
the
quéene
by
the
hand
,
and
without
any
more
company
they
went
towards
the
gate
of
the
bridge
,
&
knocked
therat
,
&
for
that
they
were
all
alone
,
the
gate
was
straight
way
opened
.
When
they
were
entered
within
the
first
Tower
,
this
valiant
Rodaran
commanded
those
that
were
the
keepers
therof
,
that
they
should
yéeld
vp
the
towers
and
bridge
,
and
that
they
should
depart
with
quietnesse
.
Who
séeing
him
alone
&
they
so
many
,
wold
not
obey
his
commandement
,
but
did
procure
to
defend
the
towers
&
the
bridge
,
and
wold
not
suffer
him
to
perswadge
any
farther
.
But
this
valiant
Rodaran
in
a
smal
time
did
so
béehaue
himselfe
amongst
them
,
that
wounding
and
killing
the
most
part
of
them
,
the
rest
were
constraynd
&
thought
it
good
for
the
sauegard
of
their
liues
to
yéeld
,
and
to
doo
all
that
hée
commaunded
them
.
And
so
they
deliuered
vnto
him
all
the
keyes
of
the
gates
and
towers
,
and
departed
thence
at
their
liberty
,
with
the
losse
of
the
most
part
of
their
companions
,
and
although
they
were
ashamed
so
manye
to
bée
slaine
and
ouercome
by
one
alone
Knight
,
which
made
them
to
refraine
comming
into
the
Emperours
presence
,
yet
ther
did
not
lack
(
who
beefore
Rodaran
did
enter
into
Constantinople
)
that
did
aduise
the
Emperour
thereof
.
At
such
●…ime
as
hée
came
thether
,
hée
was
very
angrie
with
him●…elfe
,
for
that
hée
was
so
bolde
to
giue
that
enterprise
,
and
if
●…t
had
not
béene
for
the
disturbing
of
their
great
feasts
and
●…riumphs
which
were
made
there
for
their
sons
,
hée
would
●…aue
sent
thether
such
as
should
haue
rewarded
him
vnto
●…is
contentment
for
his
boldnesse
.
But
when
that
Roda●…an
was
come
vnto
the
Court
,
and
the
Emperour
fullie
sa●…sfied
of
his
demaund
,
hée
was
very
glad
and
ioyefull
,
for
that
hée
had
so
good
opportunity
,
whereby
hée
should
receiue
his
p●…yment
for
his
boldnesse
,
and
small
account
that
hée
made
of
him
and
his
estate
.
So
when
this
valyant
Rodaran
and
the
Quéene
of
Carmania
saw
themselues
Lords
and
gouernours
ouer
the
whole
bridge
and
their
Towers
,
they
commaunded
all
those
that
came
in
theyr
companie
to
enter
in
thereat
,
whereas
they
dyd
establish
their
abiding
,
and
caused
the
ship
wherein
they
came
thether
,
which
was
at
the
sea
,
to
enter
into
the
riuer
,
and
to
surge
close
vnto
the
bridge
,
wheras
they
did
let
fall
their
ancker
,
and
made
hir
very
fast
,
for
that
in
the
same
Ship
Rodaran
did
determine
,
hauing
ouercome
the
most
part
of
the
best
and
principallest
knights
in
all
Greece
,
to
put
them
prisoners
into
the
same
ship
,
and
returne
with
them
into
his
owne
Countrie
.
So
after
that
the
Quéene
of
Carmania
had
well
perused
the
scituation
of
the
bridges
,
&
of
the
towers
,
she
saw
that
the
tower
that
was
in
the
midst
of
the
Bridge
was
made
in
such
sort
,
that
beneath
it
was
round
like
vnto
an
arke
and
hollow
,
without
any
gate
,
but
as
broad
as
the
bridge
was
,
wheras
shée
caused
the
net
of
yron
to
bée
hanged
in
the
highest
part
of
the
hollownesse
within
,
in
such
sort
,
that
it
could
not
bée
séene
nor
descerned
without
,
but
it
was
so
large
,
that
it
occupied
all
the
bignesse
of
the
vaut
within
,
and
in
such
sort
the
Quéene
of
Carmania
caused
it
to
be
hanged
,
that
in
pullling
of
a
cord
,
ordained
for
that
purpose
,
the
whole
n●…t
should
fall
downe
.
When
Rodaran
saw
the
net
hanged
vp
and
put
in
good
order
,
he
was
very
desirous
to
know
to
what
purpose
it
was
put
there
,
and
did
importune
the
quéene
so
much
,
that
in
the
end
shée
was
constrained
to
declare
it
vnto
him
,
saying
.
You
shall
vnderstand
(
my
Lord
)
that
the
great
loue
which
I
dooe
beare
vnto
you
,
hath
caused
mée
to
feare
that
which
your
valyaunt
and
singular
bountie
doth
assure
mée
and
put
mée
in
great
doubt
of
,
and
although
that
I
am
fully
perswaded
that
there
is
not
in
all
the
world
a
knight
that
can
compare
his
bounty
vnto
yours
,
yet
it
séemeth
vnto
mo
,
that
hauing
to
do
with
so
many
who
wil
prooue
themselues
against
you
,
it
cannot
bée
chosen
but
there
must
néedes
bée
some
amongst
them
that
will
trouble
you
so
much
béeing
wearie
,
that
you
shall
receiue
some
harme
on
your
person
.
And
therefore
béeing
mooued
with
the
great
loue
that
I
doe
beare
vnto
you
,
I
haue
caused
to
bée
made
and
put
in
this
yron
net
which
you
sée
,
that
at
what
time
so
euer
béeing
in
battaile
with
those
Knights
,
you
shall
finde
your selfe
to
bée
in
any
extremitie
,
that
then
you
may
retire
your selfe
with
him
whom
at
that
present
you
doo
combat
,
till
that
you
are
both
right
vnderneath
this
net
,
and
béeing
there
,
then
presently
both
you
and
your
aduersarie
shall
take
your
ease
.
And
this
(
Sir
)
is
the
whole
cause
and
effect
why
I
haue
caused
this
net
to
bée
made
.
And
if
it
bée
so
that
this
which
I
haue
done
dooe
cause
in
you
any
disconentment
or
griefe
,
héere
I
doo
craue
pardon
,
and
doo
request
you
to
attribute
the
occasion
,
as
a
fault
committed
by
a
woman
,
for
when
an
offence
is
committed
for
loue
and
good
will
,
it
is
the
easier
to
bée
pardoned
and
forgiuen
.
This
valiaunt
Rodaran
in
all
his
life
time
dyd
not
receiue
so
great
grife
and
sorrow
,
as
at
that
present
,
when
hée
did
vnderstand
&
sée
what
the
Quéene
had
ordayned
,
and
it
seemed
●…nto
him
that
she
had
doubt
of
the
victorie
that
hée
hoped
to
haue
of
the
Greekish
Knights
,
yet
for
all
that
the
loue
that
hée
bare
vnto
hir
was
such
,
that
hée
would
not
say
against
that
which
shée
had
done
,
but
shewing
himselfe
to
bée
very
angrie
for
the
same
,
hée
saide
.
Lady
and
mistres
,
it
doth
griue
mée
very
much
,
that
the
Prince
of
Arabia
is
so
little
knowen
vnto
you
:
What
●…oo
you
thinke
that
in
all
the
world
there
is
one
for
one
,
●…hat
is
of
so
great
strength
,
that
of
himselfe
hée
is
sufficy●…
to
bring
mée
into
so
great
extremitie
in
battaile
,
that
I
●…hall
bée
driuen
to
séeke
for
rest
and
succour
,
for
to
bring
●…nto
an
ende
this
my
enterprise
which
I
haue
vnderta●…
.
And
if
the
battell
which
I
had
with
the
Prince
Meridian
in
your
kingdome
of
Carmania
,
doth
cause
you
to
suspect
or
haue
any
doubt
in
mée
.
You
doo
well
vnderstand
that
the
occasion
doth
grow
by
the
Deitie
that
is
in
him
,
of
the
immortall
gods
,
from
whom
hée
&
all
his
progenitors
doth
desend
,
and
would
not
consent
nor
suffer
,
that
by
any
humane
knight
he
should
bée
ouercome
,
so
that
our
battell
was
separated
,
without
any
victorie
of
eyther
of
our
part
.
The
which
was
no
small
fauour
and
honour
vnto
mée
,
that
the
Gods
would
make
mée
equall
vnto
their
diuine
bountie
.
And
séeing
that
the
Prince
Meridian
is
hée
,
who
onely
is
pertaker
of
the
diuine
Deitie
,
and
no
vauntage
betwixt
vs
two
,
for
very
certaine
&
sure
I
may
account
the
victorie
of
my
part
against
the
Gréekish
Knights
,
without
thinking
of
any
néede
of
help
in
the
bataile
,
that
I
shall
haue
with
them
.
The
Quéene
was
very
discréete
and
wise
,
and
with
hir
amorous
and
sweet
words
dyd
pacifie
him
,
in
such
sort
,
that
the
net
dyd
still
remaine
as
shée
had
commaunded
it
to
bée
put
,
for
a
farther
effect
then
shée
dyd
giue
Rodaran
to
vnderstand
.
And
although
at
that
time
it
did
cause
in
him
great
anger
and
griefe
,
yet
beefore
many
daies
had
passed
,
hée
receiued
great
contentment
and
pleasure
therein
,
so
that
this
was
the
occasion
that
mooued
this
valiant
Rodaran
and
the
Quéene
of
Carmania
to
come
vnto
the
Court
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
and
the
occasion
of
this
their
demaund
.
How
the
Prince
Rodamarte
went
vnto
the
bridge
of
Iaspe
,
for
to
combat
with
the
valiaunt
Rodaran
.
Chapter
39.
WIth
great
care
and
small
rest
the
●…alyaunt
Prince
Rodamarte
did
passe
away
the
night
,
thincking
long
till
the
morning
was
come
,
for
to
depart
vnto
the
bridge
of
Iaspe
,
for
to
combat
with
Rodaran
,
for
that
the
day
beefore
he
liked
him
very
well
,
&
séemed
to
be
a
knight
of
great
valour
.
Yet
for
all
that
,
he
was
of
so
valiant
a
courage
,
that
he
had
no
feare
of
his
might
&
big
proportion
,
but
very
early
in
the
morning
before
that
the
sun
had
couered
the
earth
,
he
was
armed
,
with
very
strong
armour
,
&
his
horse
trymmed
&
dressed
very
richly
with
cloth
of
gold
,
which
did
signifie
vnto
all
people
his
high
estate
.
So
in
this
sort
he
went
foorth
of
Constantinople
,
with
but
onely
one
page
,
which
did
carry
his
speare
&
his
shéeld
.
And
hauing
his
minde
occupied
on
the
loue
of
the
princesse
Analiria
,
he
trauailed
so
much
that
the
next
day
he
came
vnto
the
bridge
of
the
Iaspe
:
But
Rodaran
&
the
quéene
with
great
quietnesse
,
&
contentment
,
did
abide
the
comming
of
the
gréekish
knights
.
So
when
Rodamarte
came
vnto
the
gate
of
the
first
tower
,
he
found
that
it
was
fast
shut
,
&
he
commanded
his
page
to
call
there
at
,
who
with
the
ring
that
hong
at
the
gate
,
he
gaue
great
and
mighty
blowes
,
&
straight
way
apeared
one
of
the
kéepers
out
of
a
window
,
somewhat
high
,
&
perceiuing
that
it
was
a
Knight
of
the
emperour
Trebatio
,
he
willed
him
to
tarrye
a
while
&
the
gate
should
be
opened
vnto
him
.
The
kéeper
straight
way
went
&
told
his
Lord
Rodaran
,
who
incontinently
did
arme
himselfe
with
his
strong
&
rich
armour
,
and
requested
the
Quéene
that
she
would
with
hir
owne
hands
help
him
,
&
said
.
L●…dy
now
shal
you
〈◊〉
the
difference
that
is
betwixt
the
greekish
Knights
,
&
your
〈◊〉
,
and
how
euill
shal
be
accomplished
the
prouis●…es
of
that
king
of
Gedrosia
.
So
when
that
all
things
was
in
very
●…ood
order
,
he
commanded
that
the
gate
of
the
first
tower
sh●…uld
be
open
,
so
that
the
Prince
Rodamarte
did
enter
in
there
at
,
and
comming
on
the
Bridge
in
the
space
that
was
betwixt
the
first
Bridge
and
the
second
,
which
was
as
long
,
as
the
corse
of
a
good
horse
might
indure
.
There
he
found
Rodaran
,
mounted
on
Horse
backe
,
with
his
speare
in
his
hand
,
who
was
so
bigge
and
of
so
great
stature
,
that
he
lacked
but
little
,
to
be
as
bigge
as
a
giant
.
And
at
the
farther
end
of
the
great
space
that
was
from
the
first
tower
vnto
the
middle
tower
,
vnder
the
vaut
therof
,
was
the
queene
,
Carmania
,
sitting
in
a
chaire
of
estate
,
with
cushions
&
pillowes
of
cloth
of
gold
very
richly
,
&
curiously
wrought
with
silk
.
So
when
the
prince
came
vnto
the
place
wheras
Rodaran
was
,
he
did
salute
him
very
curteously
&
said
.
Thou
shalt
vnderstand
Rodaran
,
that
I
am
a
knight
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
one
of
them
that
thou
didst
disceiue
openly
in
the
great
hall
of
his
Court.
And
for
the
loue
of
a
faire
Lady
whom
I
doe
serue
,
I
am
come
hether
,
for
to
chastise
thée
,
for
thy
great
folly
,
which
thou
spakest
beefore
the
most
fairest
damsels
,
&
most
valiantest
knights
in
all
the
world
.
Therfore
turne
thy
horse
for
to
Iust
with
mée
,
or
els
turne
&
deny
all
that
thou
spakest
ther.
With
great
laughter
&
disdaine
Rodaran
answered
vnto
the
prince
Rodamarte
&
said
,
of
a
truth
knight
,
if
that
my
Lady
the
quéene
of
Carmania
,
were
not
before
me
&
in
presence
,
possible
it
were
better
for
me
to
deny
that
which
I
haue
spoken
,
then
to
iust
with
you
,
for
that
you
doe
seeme
to
be
a
gentill
&
valiant
knight
.
But
for
so
much
as
she
is
present
,
I
know
not
how
to
excuse
my selfe
,
but
first
consent
to
loose
my
life
.
then
to
commit
any
such
offence
.
Therfore
as
reason
doth
require
,
séeing
that
you
do
know
who
I
am
,
let
me
likewise
know
by
whom
I
shall
be
ouercome
.
I
am
said
he
Rodamarte
,
prince
of
Cypres
,
&
vassayle
vnto
the
emperour
Trebatio
:
Therfore
leaue
of
these
thy
words
,
&
let
vs
come
to
the
effect
of
déedes
,
that
thou
maist
beléeue
of
certainty
,
that
which
thou
hast
now
spoken
in
mockage
&
gesting
.
Unto
the
immortall
gods
I
doe
giue
great
thanks
,
said
Rodaran
,
for
that
so
far
as
I
can
perceiue
by
your
gentil
semblance
,
that
you
do
seme
to
be
a
knight
of
great
estimation
,
if
my
iudgement
doe
not
disceiue
me
.
And
therewith
all
these
two
valiant
knights
did
depart
the
one
from
the
other
,
Rodamarte
toward
the
foote
of
the
bridge
whereas
he
entred
in
,
&
Rodaran
toward
the
place
whereas
the
quéene
was
.
And
when
he
came
nigh
vnto
hir
,
with
great
pride
hée
saide
:
Lady
,
I
pray
you
to
giue
very
good
entertainment
vnto
this
prisoner
,
for
that
he
is
the
prince
of
cypresse
.
And
therewith
all
the
one
moued
against
the
other
with
so
great
fury
,
that
it
séemed
the
bridge
did
shake
vnder
them
.
And
in
the
midst
of
their
swift
course
,
these
two
made
their
encounter
,
in
such
sort
,
that
their
s●…aues
were
sheuered
in
péeces
,
&
they
passed
forwardes
on
without
any
mouing
by
the
force
thereof
,
till
such
time
as
they
iustled
together
with
their
bodies
horse
&
man
.
And
by
reason
that
the
valyant
Rodaran
was
bigger
of
body
&
of
more
force
&
strength
,
he
stroke
the
prince
in
such
sort
,
that
he
ouerthrew
him
horse
&
all
to
the
ground
,
so
cleane
void
of
all
memory
,
as
though
he
had
stroke
against
a
mighty
rocke
,
&
he
broching
his
horse
with
the
spurs
,
passed
ouer
the
Prince
,
who
was
so
euill
intreated
,
that
he
could
not
arise
,
till
such
time
as
Rodaran
returned
with
his
horse
,
&
alighted
from
him
,
&
toke
his
sword
from
his
girdell
,
&
his
healme
of
his
head
,
&
did
help
to
raise
him
from
the
ground
.
And
when
he
was
come
vnto
himselfe
,
he
toke
him
by
the
hand
and
lead
him
to
the
Quéene
Carmania
,
who
when
she
knew
who
he
was
,
shée
receiued
him
very
well
,
&
said
:
Gentle
knight
what
doe
you
thinke
of
my
Lord
Rodaran
be
all
the
other
Knights
of
Grecia
like
vnto
him
.
Lady
and
Quéene
,
answered
Rodamarte
,
if
this
contention
doth
long
endure
,
the
knights
of
Grecia
,
will
séeme
vnto
you
to
be
other
maner
of
knights
then
Rodaran
.
Well
said
she
,
for
that
you
shall
sée
how
much
you
are
deceiued
,
héere
you
shall
remaine
with
vs
till
such
time
as
the
best
knights
of
the
Emperours
court
be
brought
hether
to
beare
you
company
.
Then
Rodaran
did
cause
him
to
be
vnarmed
,
&
to
bée
put
at
his
foot
a
great
chaine
,
&
commanded
him
to
be
put
into
a
déepe
and
darke
dungeon
,
whereas
he
was
certaine
daies
,
with
more
sorrow
&
griefe
to
loose
the
victory
in
that
demand
,
then
to
be
ouercome
as
he
was
.
Then
his
page
which
came
with
him
,
departed
from
thence
,
and
returned
vnto
Constantinople
,
with
a
sorrowfull
hart
.
And
one
day
at
such
time
as
the
Emperour
with
his
sons
,
and
all
the
knights
,
in
the
court
were
in
great
pastimes
and
pleasures
,
sporting
themselues
,
with
dauncing
in
companie
with
the
Empresse
&
hir
Ladies
&
gentlewomen
,
&
the
princes
Lindabrides
,
&
Claridiana
with
them
.
The
page
entred
into
the
court
with
so
great
sorow
&
griefe
,
that
he
was
scarce
able
to
speake
,
for
to
tell
the
heauy
newes
of
the
prince
Rodamarte
,
yet
as
well
as
he
could
he
gaue
them
to
vnderstand
of
all
that
he
had
passed
with
Rodaran
,
at
the
which
they
did
all
meruaile
very
much
for
that
Rodamarte
was
had
in
reputation
for
one
of
the
best
knights
that
was
in
all
the
empire
of
Greece
,
&
the
emperour
receiued
great
griefe
that
it
fell
so
out
,
that
by
one
alone
knight
hée
should
bée
ouercome
.
Then
straight
way
that
valiant
&
estéemed
prince
Rodafeo
,
who
was
the
second
by
lot
to
go
forth
,
without
speaking
any
word
departed
out
of
the
great
hall
,
the
emperour
séeing
his
determination
did
commend
him
vnto
god
,
&
so
did
the
rest
that
were
ther
present
,
but
especially
his
lady
the
princesse
,
who
when
she
saw
him
depart
,
hir
hart
was
ready
to
part
a
sunder
.
When
this
valiant
prince
came
vnto
his
lodging
,
hée
armed
himselfe
with
very
strong
&
rich
armour
,
&
commanded
his
horse
to
be
trapped
with
cloth
of
gold
,
which
did
signifie
vnto
all
men
his
〈◊〉
&
high
estate
,
and
so
departed
out
of
Constantinople
with
one
alone
squier
,
&
when
he
came
vnto
the
bridge
,
the
like
happened
vnto
him
by
Rodaran
,
as
happened
vnto
Rodamarte
,
and
was
put
prisoner
with
him
in
the
same
dungion
,
whereas
they
receyued
so
great
sorrow
and
griefe
to
bée
in
such
a
demaund
ouercome
,
that
rather
they
desired
to
dye
then
to
liue
.
So
when
the
valtaunt
Rodaran
saw
that
hée
had
two
prisoners
,
and
both
princes
o●…
so
great
valour
and
estimation
,
hée
was
so
proude
and
high
minded
that
it
was
stra●…nge
,
and
beeléeued
of
a
certaintie
that
those
two
were
the
best
knightes
that
were
in
all
the
Emperours
Court
,
and
was
as
pleasaunt
and
idyfull
with
the
quéene
,
as
though
he
had
ouercome
them
all
.
And
was
very
sorrowfull
because
that
this
victory
did
not
passe
in
the
great
citie
of
Constantinople
,
thinking
that
ther
,
better
then
in
any
other
place
,
he
might
reioyce
himselfe
of
his
great
pride
&
vain
glory
,
&
did
very
much
reprehend
the
queene
for
that
ther
was
so
much
time
lost
in
Carmania
,
in
making
that
yron
net
for
that
they
had
no
néede
therof
.
The
Quéene
séeing
that
he
had
great
reason
so
to
say
,
helde
hir
peace
,
&
answered
nothing
ther
vnto
.
When
the
prince
Rodafeo
was
ouercome
&
prisoner
,
his
squier
returned
backe
againe
vnto
Constantinople
,
and
watching
the
time
that
the
Emperour
&
all
his
Knights
were
together
,
he
entered
into
the
court
,
&
declared
all
that
which
happened
vnto
the
prince
,
at
the
which
they
were
greatly
amazed
,
&
from
that
day
forwards
they
had
the
valiant
Rodaran
in
much
more
estimation
,
séeing
that
he
had
ouercome
two
of
the
best
knights
that
the
Emperour
had
,
&
although
at
that
present
the
emperour
receiued
for
them
great
sorow
&
griefe
,
suspecting
that
these
two
princes
should
be
ill
intreated
in
the
power
of
Rodaran
,
yet
because
he
was
fully
certified
that
ther
remained
behinde
such
knights
for
to
combat
with
him
,
that
very
shortly
would
not
ouely
set
them
at
liberty
,
but
also
bring
Rodaran
prisoner
vnto
him
.
So
for
that
the
third
lot
did
fall
vnto
the
mighty
&
valiant
prince
Brandizel
,
to
take
this
enterprise
&
demaund
,
straight
way
as
soone
as
the
squier
of
Rodafeo
had
told
the
newes
of
his
Lords
imprisonment
,
he
arose
vp
from
the
place
wheras
he
was
set
nigh
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sun
and
put
himselfe
before
the
Emperour
,
&
asked
lisence
for
to
goe
and
combat
with
Rodaran
,
who
did
graunt
it
vnto
him
,
and
said
.
I
am
very
sorrowfull
(
mightye
and
valiaunt
Prince
)
that
you
were
not
the
first
that
went
in
this
demaund
,
for
if
you
had
,
I
doe
beléeue
of
a
certaintie
,
that
Rodaran
should
not
haue
had
any
occasion
to
boast
himselfe
of
the
victorye
of
any
knights
of
my
Court.
And
therewith
the
Prince
doing
his
duety
vnto
the
Emperour
,
departed
out
of
the
great
hall
,
&
went
vnto
his
lodging
for
to
arme
himselfe
&
the
knight
of
the
Sun
said
vnto
the
emperour
.
This
may
your
highnesse
with
great
reason
speake
vnto
the
prince
Brandizel
,
for
that
in
the
great
wars
of
Persia
,
I
haue
the
best
knights
that
were
in
all
Asia
,
aḡainst
the
bab●…lonians
,
&
I
could
not
sée
one
that
in
armes
&
prowesse
could
match
with
him
.
And
againe
,
if
by
the
diuine
prouidence
ther
had
not
ben
remedy
put
in
the
acknowledging
the
one
the
other
,
his
high
&
mighty
bounty
had
bene
to
me
full
déere
,
in
a
battaile
which
wée
had
at
the
sea
,
without
knowing
one
another
,
the
which
battaile
endured
betwixt
vs
more
then
sixe
houres
.
So
ther
the
knight
of
the
Sun
did
declare
vnto
the
emperour
all
that
hapned
betwéene
them
two
,
&
what
he
had
seene
him
doe
against
his
knights
at
the
sea
.
Likewise
some
part
of
his
valiantnes
the
Prince
Claueryndo
had
told
him
of
,
and
done
in
his
presence
&
company
.
At
the
which
all
those
that
were
ther
present
meruayled
very
much
.
And
the
Emperour
answered
,
his
precious
&
gentle
proportion
doth
cause
me
to
beléeue
much
more
then
he
is
able
to
doe
.
And
with
this
they
all
departed
,
abiding
the
newes
of
all
that
shall
passe
with
this
valiant
prince
.
¶
How
the
Prince
Brandizell
went
to
combat
with
Rodaran
,
and
of
the
strong
and
rigorous
battaile
hee
had
with
him
.
Cap.
40.
AFter
that
the
valiant
Prince
of
Persia
was
armed
with
very
rich
&
glistering
armour
,
and
mounted
ou
a
mightie
courser
,
which
did
shew
forth
his
great
magnifisence
,
and
conformable
vnto
his
estate
,
with
one
alone
Squier
,
for
to
carry
his
speare
and
healme
,
hée
departed
out
of
the
great
citie
of
Constantinople
,
and
tooke
his
way
towardes
the
bridge
of
Iaspe
,
not
without
great
griefe
and
sorrow
in
finding
himselfe
absent
from
the
presence
of
that
faire
Clarinea
,
although
he
receiued
great
comfort
in
being
in
company
with
the
knight
of
the
Sun
.
And
with
the
great
desire
that
hée
had
for
to
bring
Rodaran
prisoner
vnto
the
Emperour
,
hee
trauailed
so
much
that
in
a
short
time
he
came
vnto
the
bridge
of
Iaspe
.
At
which
time
Rodaran
&
the
queene
Carmania
were
both
sitting
in
a
windowe
of
the
tower
of
the
same
bridge
,
&
saw
him
comming
.
Who
séemed
vnto
him
to
be
a
Knight
of
great
bounty
&
estimation
,
by
the
big
&
mighty
proportion
of
his
body
.
At
whose
sight
Rodaran
did
arme
himselfe
,
&
being
mounted
vpon
his
courser
,
the
quéene
commanded
that
the
gates
should
be
opened
vnto
the
prince
,
who
entred
in
therat
,
but
in
any
wise
they
would
not
suffer
his
squier
to
enter
in
with
him
,
&
being
entred
into
the
first
tower
,
the
gates
were
shut
very
fast
at
the
commandement
of
the
Quéene
,
so
that
his
squier
remained
without
.
And
when
he
came
vnto
the
place
whereas
Rodaran
was
armed
&
mounted
vpon
his
horse
,
the
prince
saluted
him
&
made
reuerence
vnto
the
quéene
like
a
curteous
knight
as
he
was
.
Unto
whom
Rodaran
with
far
more
pride
than
c●…rtsiee
,
returned
his
saluation
,
and
said
.
Sir
Knight
,
if
thy
déedes
be
conformable
vnto
the
presence
of
thy
person
,
then
hath
the
Emperour
Trebatio
done
verse
well
to
let
thée
be
one
of
the
first
to
come
&
combat
with
me
,
for
that
by
ouercomming
thée
,
this
contention
shall
straight
way
cease
,
for
that
I
am
perswaded
ther
shall
not
remaine
a
knight
in
all
his
court
that
shall
be
able
to
resist
my
demaund
.
But
yet
I
doe
desire
,
that
first
before
thou
dost
enter
into
battaile
with
me
,
that
thou
wilt
tell
me
who
thou
art
,
for
that
I
doe
very
much
muse
&
meruaile
within
my selfe
,
that
in
this
country
I
should
finde
a
knight
,
being
naturally
borne
therin
,
so
mighty
of
person
,
&
of
good
&
gentle
disposition
as
thou
art
.
Unto
whom
this
valiaunt
&
couragious
prince
with
great
●…éekenesse
did
answere
him
in
this
maner
.
Not
in
the
mightinesse
of
personages
,
neither
in
the
abundance
of
words
,
doth
consist
the
bounty
&
force
of
knightes
,
but
in
the
great
vertue
&
valiantnesse
of
a
couragious
hart
.
And
héere
I
say
vnto
thée
(
although
I
am
more
bigger
of
personage
then
any
other
that
doth
remaine
in
the
court
of
the
emperour
)
yet
after
such
time
as
I
am
by
thée
ouercome
,
the
Emperour
Trebatio
hath
such
knightes
remaining
with
him
,
that
the
victory
of
them
shall
séeme
vnto
thée
very
doubtfull
,
although
at
this
present
thou
art
very
certaine
to
ouercome
me
.
And
in
that
thou
dost
aske
of
me
who
I
am
,
héere
I
giue
thée
to
vnderstand
that
I
am
a
Knight
of
the
emperour
Trebatios
,
&
a
very
friend
vnto
he
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
the
which
is
a
thing
at
this
present
that
I
haue
in
great
estimation
.
And
in
saying
these
words
the
prince
did
turne
about
his
furious
horse
,
and
Rodaran
did
like
,
who
when
hée
saw
the
Quéene
,
whereas
she
sat
in
hir
accustomed
place
at
the
second
tower
,
with
hir
face
very
pale
and
wan
,
halfe
dismayed
,
for
that
the
prince
did
seeme
vnto
hir
to
be
a
valiant
knight
,
hée
said
vnto
hir
.
Lady
,
pacifie
your selfe
,
&
you
shall
sée
that
at
this
encounter
with
my
speare
,
I
will
cause
you
to
forget
the
feare
which
you
haue
of
this
monster
.
And
therewith
these
two
valiaunt
Knights
with
the
great
fury
of
theyr
Horses
,
and
with
their
great
and
long
speares
in
their
handes
,
in
the
middest
of
their
swift
course
they
made
their
terrible
encounter
,
in
such
sort
,
that
vpon
their
shields
their
mightye
Speares
were
shéeuered
all
to
péeces
,
&
neither
of
them
at
that
terrible
encounter
made
any
semblaunce
of
mouing
in
their
saddles
,
and
at
such
time
as
they
did
ioyne
&
méete
together
with
all
the
force
of
their
bodies
,
it
was
with
so
great
force
and
strength
,
that
neither
of
them
could
procéed
forwards
,
but
that
Horse
&
man
came
all
vnto
the
ground
,
and
made
so
great
a
noise
with
rushing
of
the
harneyes
together
(
by
reason
that
it
was
with
so
great
strength
)
that
it
séemed
as
though
a
great
péece
of
ordinace
had
shot
off
.
At
which
time
the
Squyer
of
the
Prince
Brandizel
,
who
remayned
without
the
gates
,
dyd
not
let
to
pray
vnto
his
Gods
for
the
victorie
of
his
Lord
,
after
that
hée
heard
the
noise
of
that
terrible
encounter
,
which
made
him
verie
much
to
meruaile
,
but
much
more
did
Rodaran
meruayle
,
at
a
thing
which
séemed
vnto
him
very
straunge
,
to
sée
himselfe
ouerthrowen
to
the
ground
by
the
encounter
of
one
alone
knight
,
whereas
beefore
hée
thought
that
there
was
not
one
Knight
in
all
the
world
that
was
able
to
doo
it
vnto
him
.
Likewise
hée
was
greatly
ashamed
to
see
himselfe
vnhorsed
beefore
the
presence
of
his
Lady
&
Quéene
,
which
caused
to
increase
in
him
great
anger
and
furie
,
for
to
reuenge
himselfe
of
that
iniurie
,
and
drew
out
his
Swoord
the
which
was
very
great
and
broade
,
and
went
agaynst
the
Prince
,
who
was
not
a
little
amazed
to
sée
him
come
against
him
with
so
great
furie
and
force
,
and
séeing
his
determination
,
did
likewise
draw
out
his
Swoord
and
met
him
,
and
both
of
them
stroke
together
with
so
great
furie
and
force
,
that
at
the
first
blowes
theyr
shéelds
were
cut
asunder
,
and
theyr
swoords
descended
vpon
theyr
Healmes
with
so
great
strength
,
that
it
made
both
of
them
to
decline
theyr
heads
downe
vnto
theyr
breasts
,
and
made
each
other
of
them
féele
and
acknowledge
the
force
and
strength
of
his
aduersarie
,
and
from
that
time
these
two
warriors
dyd
strike
such
mightie
and
furious
blowes
the
one
vpon
the
other
,
with
so
great
strength
,
that
it
was
wonderfull
to
béeholde
,
alwaies
procuring
where
to
strike
his
aduersarie
,
for
to
doo
him
most
harme
,
and
although
theyr
armour
were
of
so
straunge
and
excellent
mixture
,
that
there
was
neuer
force
nor
strength
of
man
,
neyther
any
Swoord
so
fine
,
that
could
cut
or
perish
them
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
it
did
saue
them
from
wounding
one
another
,
yet
for
all
that
,
they
dyd
strike
their
blowes
so
thicke
,
and
in
such
great
hast
,
that
at
such
time
as
they
dyd
fasten
a
right
and
sure
blow
,
they
did
greatlie
bruse
one
anothers
flesh
and
bones
,
so
that
either
of
them
dyd
procure
the
best
hée
could
to
defend
himselfe
from
the
terrible
blowes
of
his
enimie
.
At
this
time
was
passed
a
good
houre
,
from
the
time
that
they
first
béegan
their
battaile
,
at
which
time
Rodaran
séeing
,
that
although
hée
dyd
his
best
in
executing
his
furie
,
that
there
was
no
vauntage
to
bée
séene
of
neither
of
theyr
parts
,
hée
was
verie
much
amazed
at
the
great
force
and
strength
of
his
aduersarie
,
and
béegan
somwhat
to
acknowledge
the
great
reason
that
the
olde
King
of
Gedrosia
had
,
in
praysing
and
extolling
the
high
and
mightie
déedes
of
the
Knights
of
Greece
:
moreouer
,
hée
sayde
vnto
himselfe
,
that
that
knight
alone
was
sufficient
for
to
destroy
halfe
the
armie
of
the
Emperour
Alycandro
,
and
by
reason
that
his
pride
was
very
great
,
and
hée
himselfe
of
a
valyaunt
and
stout
courage
,
although
the
victorie
should
bée
very
late
,
yet
hee
supposed
that
the
fury
of
the
Prince
Brandizel
could
not
endure
long
against
him
,
and
béeing
fullie
perswaded
in
his
thought
,
he
made
so
great
hast
in
striking
of
the
Prince
,
that
hée
made
him
very
much
to
meruaile
at
his
stout
and
valyant
courage
,
béecause
it
troubled
him
very
much
,
and
brought
him
into
that
perplexitie
,
that
hée
was
driuen
to
béesturre
himselfe
from
the
one
side
of
the
Bridge
vnto
the
other
,
for
to
cleere
himselfe
from
some
of
his
great
blowes
,
which
to
the
contrarie
hée
should
haue
receiued
,
and
made
him
to
vse
more
lightnesse
then
the
bigge
proportion
of
his
body
could
well
indure
,
and
for
that
their
sheelds
were
all
cut
and
broken
in
péeces
,
in
such
sort
that
there
was
no
defence
in
them
,
the
whole
state
of
the
battaile
was
in
the
great
and
mightie
force
in
striking
on
another
,
executting
their
blowes
with
theyr
swoords
in
both
theyr
hands
,
in
such
furious
sort
,
that
the
one
had
great
feare
of
the
other
,
their
bones
and
flesh
were
all
brused
with
the
mightie
force
of
their
blowes
,
and
their
bodies
so
wearied
,
that
if
it
were
not
for
the
great
valour
of
theyr
hearts
and
courage
,
and
againe
the
losse
of
victorie
so
shamefull
and
reprobrious
,
ther
was
neither
of
them
,
but
with
a
very
good
will
would
haue
throwen
himselfe
along
vppon
the
ground
to
haue
taken
some
rest
,
but
by
reason
that
they
were
so
valyaunt
Knights
,
and
very
few
in
all
the
whole
world
that
were
able
to
haue
any
vauntage
of
them
,
would
not
shew
one
a nother
the
great
necessitie
in
the
which
they
wer
brought
,
Rodaran
for
that
hée
was
in
the
presence
of
the
quéene
,
who
was
very
sad
and
heauie
in
hir
semblance
,
and
no
lesse
meruailed
to
sée
the
cruell
battayle
that
was
béetwéene
them
.
Likewise
the
Prince
Brandizel
,
with
the
remembraunce
of
the
faire
princesse
Clarinea
,
and
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
and
all
the
rest
of
the
knights
of
his
court
,
he
thought
it
better
to
die
ther
a
thousand
deaths
,
then
to
returne
back
vnto
the
court
,
and
loose
the
victory
,
at
which
thoughts
they
recouered
so
great
courage
,
&
gathered
so
great
strength
from
theyr
valiant
harts
,
that
eyther
of
them
looked
as
well
for
death
as
victorie
.
At
which
time
there
had
passed
more
then
thrée
houres
from
the
béeginning
of
their
battell
all
which
time
they
neuer
rested
themselues
,
nor
ceased
not
to
oppresse
the
one
the
other
all
that
in
them
was
possible
.
Which
was
the
occasion
that
the
mightie
and
couragious
stomacke
of
that
valiaunt
Rodaran
was
not
sufficient
,
neyther
the
presence
of
the
quéene
of
Carmania
,
but
that
his
great
pride
did
abate
(
which
beefore
was
neuer
brought
in
subiection
)
and
of
pure
necessitie
and
force
,
by
reason
of
his
great
wearinesse
,
withdrew
himselfe
on
the
one
side
,
and
with
the
great
griefe
thereof
hée
béegan
to
speake
vnto
the
prince
and
said
.
Knight
hold
thy
hands
,
and
let
vs
rest
our selues
a
while
,
for
that
there
doth
continue
time
inough
to
finish
our
battell
.
Likewise
the
Prince
Brandizel
at
that
time
was
brought
into
so
great
necessitie
of
rest
,
that
without
answering
him
any
word
,
hée
did
likewise
withdraw
himselfe
,
&
leaned
vpon
the
p●…mell
of
his
sword
for
to
take
some
ease
,
and
immagined
vpon
the
great
strength
and
courage
of
Rodaran
.
And
it
séemed
vnto
him
that
in
all
his
life
time
hée
neuer
combatted
with
any
knight
or
giant
that
euer
dyd
charge
him
with
so
great
and
terrible
blows
,
neither
that
euer
did
endure
so
long
battayle
with
him
without
taking
some
rest
,
but
onely
that
most
worthie
and
valyaunt
Knight
of
the
Sunne
.
And
hée
thought
verily
within
himselfe
,
that
if
the
force
of
Rodaran
did
long
endure
,
it
could
not
bée
otherwise
but
that
he
should
bée
ouercome
and
loose
the
victory
,
and
yet
considering
what
a
great
shamd
and
rebuke
it
would
bée
vnto
him
to
come
beefore
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
and
the
rest
of
his
great
friends
,
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
and
the
Prince
Clauerindo
,
hée
did
fully
determine
with
himselfe
to
loose
his
life
fiting
on
foote
,
and
not
to
bée
ouerthrowen
from
his
Horse
to
the
ground
,
and
to
loose
the
victorie
.
At
this
present
time
likewise
Rodaran
was
leaning
vppon
his
swoord
to
breath
himselfe
,
and
called
vnto
his
remembrance
the
words
that
the
olde
king
of
Gedrosia
had
sayde
vnto
him
,
and
séemed
that
they
would
proue
to
bee
true
,
and
did
verie
much
commend
his
great
wisdome
and
knowledge
,
and
dyd
reprehend
his
owne
gpeat
pride
,
and
would
with
a
very
good
will
haue
giuen
the
greatest
part
of
his
estate
,
vpon
condition
that
he
had
not
put
himselfe
in
this
demaund
,
and
contention
,
béecause
hée
found
himselfe
to
bée
so
wearie
,
and
that
in
so
long
time
they
had
battaile
and
combat
together
,
there
was
no
vantage
to
bée
iudged
on
either
part
,
hée
thought
of
a
certaintie
that
it
could
not
bée
otherwise
,
ibut
hée
must
bée
ouercome
and
loose
the
victory
.
And
as
hée
was
béeholding
of
the
Prince
,
and
very
much
meruailing
at
his
great
force
and
bountie
,
it
séemed
vnto
him
that
according
vnto
the
mightinesse
of
his
person
and
the
richnesse
of
his
armour
,
that
hée
should
bée
some
Knight
of
high
estate
.
So
after
a
while
that
hée
had
well
breathed
and
refreshed
himselfe
hée
saide
.
Wherefore
haue
not
wée
great
care
ouer
our selues
,
and
wish
that
wée
had
not
knowen
one
another
,
for
that
according
vnto
that
which
hath
passed
béetwixt
vs
in
this
first
battell
,
and
againe
,
that
which
wée
doo
looke
for
in
the
second
battell
,
cannot
bée
,
but
that
eyther
of
vs
will
sooner
consent
to
die
,
then
to
bée
ouer
come
and
loose
the
victory
.
Therefore
I
doo
desire
thée
by
the
vertue
of
that
thing
that
in
all
the
world
thou
doost
best
loue
,
that
thou
doost
tell
mée
who
thou
art
,
for
that
according
vnto
thy
mightie
stature
and
great
bountie
,
I
cannot
béeléeue
that
thou

a

Héere
the

coniured

Rodaran
,
béecause
thou
hast
so
great
desire
to

I
will
giue
thée
to

Great

,
that
thou
dooest
abide
and
recreate
thy selfe
in
straunge
Countries
,
and
to
shew
thy selfe
so
great
a
friend
vnto
Christians
:
Tell
mée
I
pray
thée
,
if
thou
hast
receiued
their
lawes
,
and
customes
,
and
left
the
law
of
the
Pagans
?
Thou
doost
demaund
of
mée
great
account
,
sayd
the
Prince
,
but
for
that
thou
shalt
not
béeléeue
all
that
which
thou
hast
saide
,
I
will
bee
briefe
&
giue
thée
to
vnderstand
in
few
words
.
I
doo
béeléeue
that
thou
doost
know
,
or
at
the
least
wayes
hast
heard
,
of
the
great
battailes
and
contentions
that
passed
betwixt
my
Father
the
King
Florion
,
and
the
mightie
Africano
,
who
had
vsurped
and
taken
away
my
Fathers
kingdome
.
I
haue
heard
the
same
(
said
Rodaran
)
and
I
was
called
vnto
the
sayd
warres
,
and
for
that
I
did
sée
that
Africano
had
neither
reason
nor
iustice
,
I
dyd
refuse
the
iourney
,
and
would
not
goe
with
him
.
Then
the
Prince
sayde
,
you
shall
vnderstand
that
in
these
warres
my
Father
got
the
victorie
,
and
recouered
all
his
lands
the
which
hée
had
lost
,
but
especially
by
the
great
force
,
strength
,
and
bountie
of
the
valyaunt
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
Sonne
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
who
at
this
present
remayneth
in
his
Court
,
and
by
the
prowesse
of
the
Prince
Clauerindo
,
sonne
vnto
the
king
Oristeo
of
Fraunce
,
both
the
which
béeing
verie
young
were
lost
,
and
both
found
at
the
Sea
by
the
king
my
father
,
who
carried
them
with
him
,
whereas
they
two
and
I
were
brought
vp
all
thrée
together
,
and
from
that
time
there
dyd
grow
so
great
loue
and
friendship
béetwixt
vs
,
which
was
the
occasion
,
ioyntly
with
the
dutie
which
I
owe
vnto
them
,
that
I
am
come
in
theyr
company
into
this
Countrie
,
&
cannot
certifie
my selfe
,
neither
am
I
at
quyet
but
when
I
am
with
them
,
and
in
their
companie
and
conuersation
.
This
is
the
occasion
wherefore
I
am
come
into
this
countrie
,
béecause
you
are
so
desirous
to
know
,
&
héere
I
meane
to
remaine
so
long
as
these
princes
abide
in
the
Emperours
Court
.
Oh
Prince
Brandizel
,
saide
Rodaran
,
now
I
plainely
sée
and
perceiue
how
that
the
high
Gods
are
very
angrie
with
the
Pagan
people
,
and
will
plague
and
punish
vs
by
the
hands
and
power
of
the
Christians
,
for
that
wée
haue
now
at
this
present
,
more
then
at
any
time
héeretofore
so
great
confidence
in
them
.
Oh
Prince
of
Persia
,
if
the
losse
and
destruction
of
thy
naturall
Countrie
doo
cause
in
thée
any
sorrow
,
or
the
destruction
of
the
Pagan
people
doo
cause
any
griefe
,
then
would
thy
hart
lament
,
and
cause
thée
to
leaue
off
this
great
friendship
which
thou
hast
with
the
Christians
,
and
take
vpon
thée
mortall
warre
against
them
,
for
héere
I
doo
giue
thée
to
vnderstand
beefore
the
great
Cane
,
king
of
the
Cambalos
,
and
Emperour
of
Tartaria
,
and
beefore
all
Kings
and
Lords
,
his
subiects
and
vassals
,
the
King
Gedrosia
,
who
is
one
of
the
wisest
in
deuination
and
Astrologie
,
that
is
to
bée
found
in
all
the
world
,
to
whom
at
that
present
I
gaue
but
small
credit
,
hee
dyd
declare
and
pronounce
that
in
our
dayes
and
times
should
be
stayne
and
destroyed
the
most
part
of
all
the
Pagan
people
in
the
fields
of
Greece
,
by
the
mightie
force
and
power
of
the
Knights
that
bée
therein
,
and
that
there
the
greatest
and
mightiest
Kings
in
all
Asia
shall
loose
theyr
gouernment
&
estates
.
Unto
whose
words
I
made
no
contradiction
,
for
that
it
séemed
vnto
mée
to
bée
a
thing
impossible
.
And
moreouer
hée
said
,
that
in
the
Empire
of
Greece
there
were
such
Knights
,
that
if
meanes
were
not
found
by
one
way
or
other
to
disturbe
them
,
that
they
alone
were
sufficient
to
accomplish
and
bring
to
passe
all
this
which
I
haue
sayd
.
And
for
this
occasion
I
departed
out
of
my
Kingdome
and
Countrie
,
and
dyd
promise
the
Emperour
Alycandro
neuer
to
retourne
againe
vnto
the
same
,
till
such
time
as
I
came
vnto
the
Empire
of
Greece
,
and
there
with
my
power
and
force
to
take
prisoners
the
best
Knights
that
bée
in
all
the
Empire
,
and
to
carrie
them
away
with
mée
vnto
the
Emperour
Alycandro
,
&
now
séeing
that
you
doo
know
my
determination
and
purpose
,
and
the
great
profit
that
will
grow
thereof
vnto
all
Asia
,
I
doo
desire
thee
by
the
seruice
and
dutie
which
thou
dost
owe
vnto
the
high
Gods
,
that
leauing
the
great
friendship
which
thou
hast
with
the
Christians
,
let
vs
two
procure
to
take
and
carrie
them
prisoners
into
our
Countrie
,
that
by
them
wée
may
raunsome
and
set
our selues
at
libertie
from
the
great
destruction
which
is
prognosticated
to
bée
done
vnto
vs
by
them
,
which
by
no
meanes
can
bée
excused
,
except
first
wée
doo
this
which
I
haue
tolde
thée
.
Then
the
Prince
Brandizel
answered
and
saide
.
Let
the
Pagans
remaine
in
their
Countrie
,
and
let
the
Christians
alone
in
theyrs
,
for
that
this
remedie
which
thou
hast
taken
in
hand
Rodaran
,
will
verie
little
profit
to
excuse
the
harme
which
thou
hast
spoken
of
,
béeing
a
thing
determined
by
the
high
powers
.
And
héere
I
dooe
giue
thée
to
vnderstand
that
there
doth
remaine
many
Knights
in
the
Citie
of
Constantinople
,
and
such
,
as
ten
such
knights
as
thou
art
be
not
sufficient
to
take
one
of
them
,
and
to
bring
him
vnto
prison
.
And
héere
I
doo
advise
thée
to
take
good
héede
and
béeware
of
the
furie
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
beefore
whom
there
is
no
humane
●…reature
able
to
make
any
resistance
.
And
in
that
thou
●…oost
request
mée
to
leaue
of
theyr
friendship
,
and
to
bée●…ome
theyr
enimie
,
speake
no
more
thereof
vnto
mée
,
for
I
●…oo
more
estéeme
their
friendship
and
loue
,
and
to
bée
friend
●…nto
the
sonnes
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
and
his
friends
,
●…hen
to
bée
a
Prince
,
yea
more
then
to
bée
Lord
ouer
all
A●…ia
.
And
if
thou
wilt
leaue
off
this
demaund
which
thou
bringest
with
thée
,
and
goe
vnto
the
Court
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
and
become
a
brother
in
our
friendship
,
there
shall
bée
done
vnto
thee
the
honour
that
to
such
a
knight
belongeth
,
and
if
not
,
let
vs
returne
againe
vnto
our
battell
,
and
hée
which
of
vs
two
shall
bée
ouercome
,
let
him
doo
all
that
the
other
who
winneth
the
victorie
shall
commaund
,
and
so
shall
bée
excused
all
the
requestes
that
are
béetwixt
vs
two
.
Héere
Rodaran
was
very
sorrowfull
,
béecause
hée
found
so
small
comfort
of
the
Prince
in
this
his
determination
,
and
beléeuing
that
onely
in
the
ouercomming
of
that
knight
dyd
consist
the
accomplishing
of
his
aduenture
,
and
that
it
might
so
fall
out
,
by
the
victorie
of
him
to
end
his
demaund
,
for
that
which
the
Prince
had
tould
hée
could
not
béeleeue
,
neyther
giue
credite
that
those
knights
which
dyd
remayne
béehinde
in
the
court
,
should
bée
such
as
hée
dyd
report
them
to
bée
,
but
with
the
great
anger
which
his
words
did
cause
in
him
,
with
a
couragious
stomacke
hée
tooke
his
swoord
in
both
his
hands
,
and
went
against
the
Prince
,
and
stroke
him
such
a
right
downe
blow
vppon
his
fine
and
precyou●…
healme
,
that
with
the
noyse
and
force
thereof
it
thundered
in
his
eares
,
and
so
dazeled
his
eyes
,
that
hée
was
constrayned
to
fall
with
his
hands
vpon
the
ground
,
not
in
such
sort
that
hée
lost
his
remembrance
,
neither
did
his
couragious
hart
fayle
him
,
but
was
set
in
such
a
heate
,
with
the
anger
of
that
mightie
blow
,
that
with
great
lightnesse
hée
arose
vp
againe
,
and
with
his
sword
in
both
his
hands
hée
stroke
so
terrible
a
blow
,
being
ouerthwart
vpon
the
strong
helme
of
Rodaran
,
that
hée
made
him
to
fall
on
the
other
side
with
the
force
of
all
his
body
vppon
the
wall
of
the
Bridge
,
the
which
did
sustaine
him
,
that
hée
fell
not
to
the
ground
,
neyther
into
the
riuer
,
although
whereas
hée
receiued
the
blow
with
the
sworde
,
it
dyd
grieue
him
in
such
sort
,
that
hée
thought
verily
the
eare
and
the
iaw
on
that
side
had
béene
broken
all
to
péeces
.
Lykewise
the
blow
which
hée
receyued
vppon
the
wall
dyd
grieue
him
very
much
,
that
if
it
had
not
béene
by
the
great
fury
that
hée
receiued
,
which
dyd
sustaine
him
,
he
could
not
haue
kept
him
vpright
on
his
féet
,
but
his
anger
&
fury
was
such
,
that
as
one
that
had
not
receiued
any
hurt
nor
harme
,
with
great
lightnesse
returned
vpon
the
prince
,
&
began
to
strike
at
him
such
terrible
&
thick
blowes
,
as
though
the
battaile
wer
but
then
new
begun
.
At
the
which
the
prince
was
very
much
amazed
,
&
did
force
him selfe
all
that
euer
he
could
,
to
strike
at
Rodaran
,
the
mightiest
blowes
that
it
was
possible
for
him
to
giue
,
in
such
sort
that
the
battaile
was
at
that
time
in
the
greatest
fury
that
euer
it
was
.
And
the
noise
of
their
terrible
&
thicke
blowes
vpon
their
fine
helmes
,
was
so
great
,
that
the
towers
&
gates
of
the
bridge
did
séeme
to
tremble
.
Then
the
squier
of
the
prince
who
was
without
,
was
very
much
amazed
that
the
battayle
did
so
long
endure
,
fearing
that
Rodaran
dyd
not
make
the
battaile
with
the
prince
alone
,
for
that
it
did
so
long
indure
,
which
caused
him
to
goe
from
one
place
vnto
an
other
,
procuring
wher
he
might
be
to
sée
what
passed
betwixt
them
,
to
certifie
the
truth
therof
.
And
as
he
went
alongst
the
waters
side
,
he
went
so
far
that
he
might
discouer
the
space
of
the
bridge
that
was
betwixt
the
two
towers
,
&
although
the
walls
or
battilments
of
the
bridge
were
somwhat
high
,
yet
for
that
the
knights
were
both
very
bigge
of
theyr
persons
,
that
hée
might
from
their
brestes
vpwardes
discerne
them
,
so
that
part
of
their
battaile
hée
might
perceiue
.
And
when
this
squier
did
sée
that
they
were
alone
,
and
the
great
heate
and
fury
of
their
battaile
,
which
seemed
at
that
time
to
be
but
new
begun
,
hée
was
greatly
aston●…ed
and
as
one
halfe
amazed
,
and
could
not
perswade
with
himselfe
,
that
in
two
knightes
could
bée
comprehended
so
great
force
and
strength
.
So
these
two
knightes
continued
in
the
second
battaile
more
then
one
hower
,
and
no
vauntage
could
bée
knowne
béetwéene
them
,
although
both
of
them
,
had
done
to
the
vttermost
that
was
in
their
power
,
force
&
strength
.
And
for
that
they
were
both
of
them
of
very
bigge
bodies
,
and
the
trauaile
great
which
they
had
passed
,
and
the
terrible
and
mighty
blowes
by
the
one
and
the
other
receued
,
did
so
much
torment
them
,
that
they
were
brought
vnto
the
estate
,
that
their
strengthes
did
faile
them
,
in
such
sort
that
eyther
of
them
was
at
that
estate
,
and
thought
verely
to
be
ouercome
.
So
when
that
Rodaran
,
saw
that
his
contention
did
little
profit
him
,
&
could
not
help
himselfe
in
the
battaile
,
he
then
called
to
remembrance
,
that
which
the
quéene
Carmania
,
had
aduised
him
off
,
&
was
,
that
in
that
place
wheras
she
was
,
he
should
finde
ease
,
at
such
time
as
hee
found
himselfe
in
the
greatest
necessitie
in
the
battaile
,
which
caused
him
little
&
litle
to
retire
backwards
towardes
the
place
whereas
shee
was
,
giuing
&
receiuing
blowes
,
as
the
time
did
serue
.
The
Prince
Brandizel
,
likewise
at
that
time
was
in
that
perplexitie
that
he
was
ready
to
yeelde
himselfe
for
to
be
ouercome
,
but
when
he
saw
that
Rodaran
,
did
begin
to
retire
,
with
the
great
ioy
&
pleasure
which
hée
receiued
to
see
him
so
vpon
a
sodaine
to
fainte
,
that
he
began
a
new
to
recouer
his
force
&
strength
,
&
followed
him
,
striking
at
him
with
all
the
might
he
could
,
but
his
faintnesse
and
warinesse
was
so
great
,
that
he
could
scarce
life
one
leg
after
an
other
▪
for
to
follow
him
:
the
which
when
Rodaran
did
perceiue
,
he
would
with
a
very
good
will
haue
returned
to
haue
made
resistance
for
that
it
seemed
vnto
him
that
in
a
small
time
hée
should
ouercome
him
,
for
that
the
prince
was
so
weary
and
féeble
,
But
when
he
would
haue
forced
himselfe
thervnto
,
hée
feared
that
he
was
wholy
depriued
of
his
strength
,
&
his
armes
so
sore
with
wearinesse
,
that
he
was
constrained
still
to
retire
backwardes
,
till
such
time
as
he
himselfe
&
the
prince
,
were
wholy
vnder
the
uaut
or
arch
of
the
second
tower
of
the
bridge
,
wheras
the
queene
Carmania
,
nigh
vnto
the
same
,
sate
in
hir
estate
.
Who
when
she
saw
that
these
two
knights
were
so
weary
that
almost
they
could
not
stand
vpon
theyr
feete
.
She
pulled
a
corde
of
Silke
which
hanged
by
hir
,
&
came
downe
from
the
height
of
the
arch
,
which
caused
that
artificiall
net
of
yron
to
fall
down
vpon
both
those
knights
,
in
such
sort
,
that
their
heades
were
fast
in
the
net
,
&
their
legs
and
armes
so
fast
bound
with
all
their
body
,
and
with
so
great
strength
,
that
they
were
not
able
to
turne
them selues
on
the
one
side
nor
on
the
other
,
but
were
taken
prisoners
in
such
sort
,
that
if
they
were
not
made
loose
by
other
,
it
were
a
thing
impossible
to
be
loosed
.
So
when
this
was
done
,
the
quéene
arose
vp
from
the
place
wheras
she
sat
,
&
commanded
a
great
chaine
to
be
brought
,
&
the
helme
of
the
prince
to
be
taken
off
,
&
the
chaine
to
be
put
about
his
neck
,
likewise
they
made
his
hands
fast
with
manakils
,
that
he
was
not
able
to
moue
nor
to
doe
any
thing
.
Then
she
commanded
a
gentlewoman
that
a
key
should
be
brought
,
wherewith
she
did
open
a
lock
that
the
not
was
made
fast
with
all
,
&
cleered
out
of
the
net
,
both
the
prince
&
Rodaran
.
They
being
out
,
the
cord
was
pulled
,
&
the
net
carried
vp
againe
into
the
place
whereas
it
was
before
.
But
when
this
valiant
prince
Brandizel
,
saw
himselfe
betraied
&
prisoner
,
he
thought
verily
to
haue
burst
with
anger
:
&
with
great
yre
&
wrath
he
said
vnto
Rodaran
.
Oh
false
&
traiterous
knight
,
what
reason
hath
moued
thée
being
a
knight
of
so
great
power
&
strength
in
armes
,
&
of
so
high
estate
,
for
to
commit
so
great
treason
,
against
one
alone
knight
,
making
battaile
against
thée
,
his
body
against
thine
.
Tell
mee
traitour
,
how
canst
thou
consent
to
be
called
knight
,
when
thou
dost
vse
so
great
villanie
vnto
the
noble
order
of
Knighthood
.
How
canst
thou
praise
and
extoll
thy selfe
,
in
the
great
Asia
,
to
haue
ouercome
and
gotten
the
victory
ouer
knights
of
Grecia
,
when
that
with
so
great
falsehood
&
treason
thou
hast
apprehended
them
.
Rodaran
,
was
verye
much
amazed
at
this
which
the
Quéene
had
done
,
and
at
the
great
subtilnesse
of
the
arte
where
with
shée
did
assure
him
of
this
victory
against
those
Grecian
Knightes
,
And
for
that
beefore
this
time
,
he
dyd
not
know
the
secret
of
hir
polesie
,
&
making
himselfe
very
ignorant
therof
,
he
answered
&
said
.
Thou
hast
no
reason
,
prince
of
Persia
,
to
call
me
traitour
,
for
that
in
all
my
life
time
I
haue
not
committed
any
treason
.
And
héere
I
doe
sweare
vnto
thée
by
the
high
god●…
,
that
I
was
as
ignorant
of
this
which
the
quéene
hath
done
,
as
thy selfe
.
And
retiring
backwards
towards
hir
,
was
,
for
that
I
being
weary
in
the
battaile
&
very
faint
,
I
thought
by
the
sight
of
hir
to
recoyer
some
force
and
strength
,
for
that
the
loue
which
I
doe
bear●…
vnto
hir
,
is
very
much
.
Well
said
the
Prince
,
séeing
it
is
so
that
thou
art
without
fault
,
do
so
much
that
my
helme
may
be
brought
vnto
me
again
,
&
that
this
chaine
may
be
taken
away
,
&
let
vs
returne
againe
vnto
our
battaile
.
I
will
not
consent
ther
vnto
said
the
quéene
,
for
that
thou
art
my
prisoner
.
And
Rodaran
,
shall
not
giue
vnto
this
liberty
.
Then
lady
said
the
prince
,
giue
it
you
vnto
me
,
for
no
longer
time
,
then
to
make
an
end
of
our
battaile
:
&
that
being
finished
,
I
doe
promise
you
by
the
faith
of
a
knight
,
to
returne
againe
vnto
your
person
.
For
vnto
such
a
lady
as
you
are
,
what
so
euer
knight
he
be
,
wil
thinke
well
to
be
your
prisoner
.
Truely
I
doe
like
as
ill
of
this
as
of
the
other
,
sayde
the
Quéene
of
Carmania
,
for
that
at
such
time
as
the
battayle
shal
be
finished
betwéene
thée
&
Rodaran
,
thou
shalt
remaine
in
such
pitifull
case
,
that
I
shall
receiue
no
profit
of
thy
imprisonment
.
Therfore
goe
your
wayes
at
this
time
&
beare
company
with
the
other
Knights
of
the
emperour
Trebatio
,
and
giue
them
some
comfort
,
for
that
they
are
very
sad
and
sorrowfull
,
to
finde
themselues
prisoners
:
and
very
shortlie
we
will
send
others
for
to
comfort
thée
also
.
And
take
this
of
a
certainty
,
that
we
will
not
carry
you
from
hence
till
such
time
as
we
haue
all
the
best
Knights
that
the
Emperour
Trebatio
hath
▪
héere
prisoners
,
to
beare
you
company
.
And
forth
with
they
carried
the
prince
away
from
thence
who
was
so
angry
and
furious
,
that
it
séemed
that
he
felt
no
wearynesse
of
the
battaile
past
,
but
rather
if
all
the
world
were
his
,
he
would
giue
it
,
vpon
condition
that
he
had
on
his
healme
,
&
his
sword
in
his
hand
,
for
to
take
reuengement
of
this
treason
vpon
Rodaran
.
So
they
tooke
him
&
put
him
in
to
a
deepe
dungion
next
the
water
,
which
was
in
the
second
tower
wheras
the
other
two
knights
Rodamarte
&
Rodaseo
were
,
who
were
greatly
amazed
when
they
saw
the
prince
Brandizel
to
be
brought
in
that
order
,
thinking
that
hee
had
ben
ouercome
by
Rodaran
,
but
the
prince
who
knew
them
very
well
,
with
the
great
sorrow
and
griefe
that
he
receiued
when
he
saw
them
,
he
gaue
them
to
vnderstand
of
all
that
which
had
happened
betwixt
him
&
Rodaran
,
&
of
the
great
treason
which
the
Queene
had
ordained
,
wherby
they
were
fully
perswaded
that
all
the
rest
of
the
knights
which
remained
in
the
court
of
the
emperour
Trebatio
,
would
be
brought
thether
prisoners
,
if
they
had
not
some
aduertisment
giuen
them
therof
.
With
this
thought
(
which
grieued
them
not
a
li●…le
)
these
thrée
good
knights
did
passe
away
the
time
,
tarry●…
to
sée
what
fortune
would
dispose
of
them
.
And
straight
waies
after
that
the
Quéene
Carmania
vnderstood
who
the
prince
was
,
she
sent
a
damsell
of
hirs
vnto
him
who
did
vnarme
him
,
&
caused
him
to
be
laid
in
a
bed
which
was
brought
thether
,
whereas
he
was
cured
with
very
good
&
comfortable
ointments
,
of
those
great
blows
which
he
receiued
,
wher
with
all
his
body
was
full
&
his
flesh
all
to
brused
,
whereby
was
giuen
to
vnderstand
the
great
contention
that
was
betwixt
him
&
Rodaran
.
The
squier
of
the
Prince
who
remained
without
,
receiued
great
contentment
when
he
saw
Rodaran
retire
backwards
,
ready
to
yéeld
the
victory
,
&
hauing
lost
the
sight
of
both
these
two
Knights
,
when
they
entred
in
vnder
the
second
tower
,
he
remained
ther
to
vnderstand
what
the
end
would
bée
,
till
such
time
as
hée
saw
Rodaran
returne
with
his
sword
in
his
hand
,
who
commaunded
the
gates
of
the
first
tower
to
be
opened
,
and
being
very
much
amazed
because
he
could
not
sée
his
Lord
,
hée
ran
vnto
the
gate
,
&
méeting
with
Rodaran
with
a
heauie
chéere
,
he
asked
what
was
become
of
his
Lord
?
To
whom
Rodaran
said
,
he
is
ouercome
&
hath
lost
the
victory
,
&
doth
remaine
prisoner
,
therfore
doe
thou
returne
vnto
the
emperour
,
&
bid
him
send
other
knights
,
&
such
as
can
better
defend
themselues
then
those
which
he
hath
sent
hetherto
,
for
that
these
doe
remaine
my
prisoners
.
The
squier
durst
not
giue
him
any
answere
,
but
departed
from
thence
very
sorrowfull
,
&
with
great
weping
,
he
returned
vnto
Constantinople
,
&
at
such
time
as
the
emperour
was
accompanied
with
all
his
princes
&
knights
,
he
entred
into
the
great
hall
wheras
they
wer
,
&
ther
he
declared
vnto
them
the
newes
,
and
all
that
had
passed
,
with
is
much
sorrow
,
that
he
was
scarce
able
to
tell
it
vnto
them
.
When
the
Emperour
and
all
that
were
there
present
had
heard
&
vnderstood
the
words
of
the
squier
,
they
were
very
much
amazed
that
such
a
knight
as
the
Prince
was
should
be
ouercome
by
Rodaran
,
but
amongst
them
all
the
knight
of
the
Sun
&
the
Prince
Clauerindo
were
amazed
most
,
for
they
knew
very
well
his
great
bounty
&
prowesse
,
&
could
not
beleeue
that
it
should
be
true
,
for
that
ther
was
not
●…
knight
in
all
the
world
that
was
sufficient
to
abate
his
courage
&
get
the
victory
,
but
the
sorrow
&
griefe
which
euery
one
of
them
receiued
was
such
,
that
out
of
hand
they
would
haue
armed
themselues
for
to
goe
&
combat
with
Rodaran
,
but
this
stout
&
valiant
king
Sacridoro
,
who
was
the
fourth
person
that
did
demand
the
enterprise
,
did
disturbe
them
of
their
desire
,
and
straight
way
arose
vp
from
the
place
wher
as
he
was
set
,
and
put
himselfe
before
the
emperour
,
and
asked
lisence
of
him
,
who
straight
waies
did
graunt
it
vnto
him
,
saying
.
Ualyant
King
,
I
pray
God
grant
vnto
you
the
victory
agaynst
that
strong
&
stout
pagan
,
&
deliuer
thée
from
treason
,
for
I
doe
beléeue
that
the
imprisonment
of
such
knights
can
not
bée
without
some
treason
or
falsehoode
.
So
after
that
the
king
Sacridoro
was
departed
,
the
knight
of
the
Sun
said
,
that
if
ther
were
not
some
treason
vsed
with
Rodaran
,
that
the
prince
Brandizel
would
rather
consent
to
die
then
to
bee
ouercome
.
And
of
this
your
highnesse
may
be
well
assured
,
said
Rosicleer
,
that
if
the
king
Sacridoro
doe
not
end
this
contention
,
that
all
we
shall
haue
inough
to
doe
with
Rodaran
,
for
except
it
were
with
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
my
brother
,
I
neuer
met
with
so
valiant
a
knight
.
I
holde
him
for
no
lesse
,
said
the
Emperour
,
for
his
presence
doth
performe
the
same
,
&
the
same
which
we
haue
heard
of
him
.
In
all
this
life
,
although
the
imprisonment
of
the
thrée
princes
were
some
griefe
vnto
them
,
yet
for
all
that
they
ceased
not
continually
to
make
great
feasts
&
sports
throughout
all
the
great
citie
,
&
in
the
Emperours
pallaice
,
wheras
euery
day
the
princesse
Claridiana
came
&
many
other
ladies
&
gentlewomen
,
they
had
great
plesure
&
delight
in
making
amongst
themselues
so
great
feasts
&
sports
,
that
they
passed
away
all
the
time
in
great
pleasure
&
pastimes
,
although
the
iealous
thoughts
of
the
princes
Lindabrides
wold
not
by
any
meanes
suffer
hir
to
reioyce
hir selfe
in
any
kind
of
pastime
,
but
it
was
the
occasion
that
she
receiued
the
greater
griefe
,
béecause
the
princes
Claridiana
at
all
times
was
in
presence
,
&
hir
great
beautie
&
gentill
grace
would
not
suffer
hir
to
assure
hir selfe
of
the
great
loue
shée
had
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
who
alwaies
when
he
was
in
presence
of
these
two
ladies
,
was
so
troubled
,
that
all
that
were
ther
present
dyd
greatlye
meruaile
that
hée
was
so
quiet
and
hadde
so
few
wordes
,
and
the
other
for
that
he
was
no
more
wearyer
,
of
the
which
the
princesse
Claridiana
did
not
let
but
had
some
suspition
of
that
which
hir
great
beautie
and
desert
dyd
assure
hir
.
And
béecause
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
didde
not
behold
hir
,
and
cast
his
eye
vppon
hir
,
so
often
as
shée
desired
,
she
was
in
a
great
confusion
and
troubled
within
hir selfe
,
not
knowing
whether
hée
did
it
or
no
,
for
that
hée
would
not
haue
that
those
which
were
ther
present
should
haue
any
suspition
of
the
loue
that
hée
bare
vnto
hir
,
or
whether
the
presence
of
the
princes
Lindabrides
did
cause
any
forgetfullnesse
of
his
part
towards
hir
.
So
because
this
History
must
more
at
leasure
declare
of
their
loues
,
it
doth
returne
to
tell
you
of
the
King
Sacridoro
,
who
were
departed
in
the
demaund
of
Rodaran
.
¶
How
the
king
Sacridoro
went
to
combat
with
Rodaran
,
&
of
all
that
happened
vnto
them
therein
.
Chapter
.
41.
THe
valiaunt
King
Sacridoro
after
that
hée
was
departed
out
of
the
great
hall
,
went
straight
vnto
his
lodging
,
wheras
hee
was
armed
with
his
strong
and
rich
armour
,
&
mounting
vpon
a
mighty
great
and
light
horse
,
accompanied
with
one
alone
page
,
for
to
cary
his
speare
,
he
departed
out
of
Constantinople
,
&
with
the
great
desire
he
had
to
proue
himselfe
with
Rodaran
,
in
a
short
time
he
came
vnto
the
bridge
,
&
as
soone
as
Rodaran
had
discouered
him
from
the
top
of
one
of
the
towers
,
he
straight
way
armed
himselfe
with
his
strong
&
rich
armour
&
being
mounted
vpon
his
horse
,
he
commanded
that
the
gates
of
the
first
tower
should
be
opened
,
wherat
the
king
Sacridoro
entred
,
with
his
speare
in
his
hand
,
&
straight
waies
the
gates
were
shut
againe
,
leauing
his
page
without
,
who
did
as
the
squier
of
Brandizel
did
,
procure
wher
he
might
see
&
beholde
the
battaile
.
The
king
Sacridoro
as
soone
as
he
was
within
,
found
Rodaran
mounted
vpon
his
horse
,
and
very
well
armed
,
with
his
speare
in
his
hand
,
whom
hée
did
salute
verye
curteouslie
.
To
whom
Rndaran
said
,
knight
,
thou
art
welcome
,
for
that
according
vnto
the
semblance
and
good
proportion
,
thou
shouldest
be
one
of
the
best
esteemed
knights
that
the
emperour
Trebatio
hath
in
all
his
Court.
Therefore
I
pray
thée
tell
mee
who
thou
art
,
that
I
may
vnderstand
with
whom
I
shall
make
battayle
,
and
I
am
sure
if
the
emperour
doe
send
thée
,
it
is
to
amend
the
faults
of
the
Prince
of
Persia
,
and
it
should
appeare
that
thou
art
in
great
estimation
,
for
to
come
and
reuenge
the
Prince
,
who
was
so
valyaunt
,
that
I
neuer
in
all
my
lyfe
had
so
much
trauayle
to
ouercome
one
knight
.
To
whom
the
King
aunswered
and
sayde
.
Thou
shalt
vnderstand
Rodaran
that
I
am
called
Sacridoro
,
and
am
king
of
Antiochia
,
and
Knight
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
and
a
perfect
friend
vnto
Rosicleer
,
his
sonne
,
who
otherwise
is
called
the
knight
of
Cupid
,
of
whose
valiaunt
and
mightie
déedes
I
am
sure
thou
hast
heard
tell
.
Of
a
truth
I
haue
heard
great
talke
of
him
(
sayd
Rodaran
)
for
that
in
all
Asia
ther
is
not
a
thing
more
noysed
and
published
abroade
,
then
the
great
aduenture
which
hée
finished
in
the
caue
of
Phenicia
.
And
one
of
the
chiefest
occasions
which
hath
brought
me
into
this
country
is
,
for
to
proue
my selfe
with
him
,
for
that
I
cannot
〈◊〉
of
truth
,
that
hee
should
bee
so
valiant
as
the
fame
〈◊〉
of
him
in
all
the
countrie
.
To
whom
the
king
answered
,
of
my
faith
I
doo
promise
thée
,
that
if
once
thou
doost
prooue
him
,
hée
will
bring
thée
out
of
this
doubt
,
for
all
that
thou
hast
heard
speak
in
him
,
is
nothing
,
in
comparison
of
that
which
thou
shalt
finde
of
him
,
if
thou
doost
once
prooue
him
.
Truth
it
is
thou
hast
ouercome
&
got
the
victorie
of
such
knights
,
that
there
bee
few
in
the
world
like
vnto
them
,
and
although
I
doo
come
hether
to
combat
with
thée
,
I
doo
come
more
for
to
put
my selfe
out
of
doubt
,
of
a
mistrust
that
I
haue
,
for
that
I
cannot
beeléeue
that
thou
couldest
get
the
victory
of
them
without
some
falsehood
or
deceite
,
and
for
to
thinck
that
I
can
doo
more
against
thee
then
they
were
able
,
for
in
all
things
,
they
were
able
to
amend
my
faults
.
Thou
shalt
straight
wayes
sée
,
sayde
Rodaran
,
whether
that
my
power
and
force
bée
able
to
dooe
more
then
this
or
no.
And
ther
with
he
turned
about
his
horse
,
and
tooke
so
much
scope
as
was
sufficient
for
his
Horse
.
The
King
did
the
like
,
so
both
of
them
with
their
Speares
in
their
hands
,
broched
their
furious
Horsses
,
who
made
their
course
with
so
great
swiftnesse
,
that
quickly
they
were
together
,
whereas
they
did
execute
the
force
and
strength
of
their
furious
encounter
,
and
shieuered
their
Speares
all
to
péeces
vppon
theyr
fine
armour
,
after
that
they
had
glanced
from
their
shéelds
,
and
with
the
force
of
their
furious
encounter
,
their
horses
ioyned
together
with
their
mightie
bodies
,
that
horse
and
man
fell
vpon
the
ground
,
and
béeing
fast
in
their
saddles
,
the
euill
fortune
of
the
king
Sacridoro
was
such
,
that
one
of
his
logges
doubled
vnder
his
Horse
,
in
such
sort
,
that
by
no
meanes
hée
could
pull
it
out
,
nor
cléere
himselfe
to
arise
againe
,
and
Rodaran
with
the
force
of
the
mightie
fall
,
was
so
astonyed
and
amazed
,
that
voyde
of
remembraunce
hée
lay
along
vpon
the
ground
without
moouing
hand
or
foote
,
but
as
one
that
were
dead
.
The
occasion
thereof
was
,
for
that
hée
was
so
big
membred
and
footed
withall
,
that
the
rigorous
fall
was
more
perillous
vnto
him
then
vnto
the
king
Sacridoro
.
But
when
the
Quéene
Carmania
saw
all
that
had
passed
,
shée
arose
vp
from
the
place
wheras
shée
sat
in
companie
with
all
hir
Ladies
,
and
came
whereas
these
two
Knights
were
on
the
ground
,
and
tooke
of
Rodarans
healme
and
gaue
him
aire
,
so
that
hee
came
againe
to
himselfe
presently
,
and
arose
vp
on
his
féete
,
and
was
greatlie
amazed
at
the
great
strength
of
the
king
Sacridoro
,
&
went
towards
him
,
who
with
very
anger
was
readie
to
burst
,
to
sée
himselfe
in
that
great
extremitie
,
and
could
not
help
himselfe
.
Rodaran
pulled
of
his
healme
from
his
head
,
and
tooke
his
swoord
from
him
,
and
made
fast
a
mightie
great
chaine
vnto
his
legge
,
and
put
a
payre
of
manacles
vpon
his
hands
,
and
so
carried
him
prisoner
whereas
the
other
Princes
were
,
with
so
great
sorrow
and
griefe
for
that
which
had
happened
,
that
if
it
had
not
béene
for
the
losse
of
his
soule
,
hée
would
haue
slaine
himselfe
.
And
when
the
other
Princes
did
know
the
valyaunt
king
Sacridoro
,
their
sorow
and
paine
dyd
double
increase
.
And
when
eyther
of
them
had
tolde
him
all
that
they
had
passed
with
Rodaran
,
hée
and
all
the
rest
were
very
sad
and
heauie
,
for
that
they
did
béeléeue
of
certaintie
,
if
God
did
not
put
remedie
therein
,
it
were
not
possible
that
there
should
remaine
any
good
knight
,
but
bee
brought
all
to
prison
.
So
there
they
remayned
all
foure
together
very
sorrowfull
,
til
their
fortune
did
procure
to
the
contrarie
,
but
their
sorrow
and
griefe
was
not
so
much
to
sée
themselues
so
in
prison
,
as
Rodaran
receiued
ioy
and
pleasure
,
for
the
good
fortune
that
hée
had
with
the
King
Sacridoro
,
for
that
according
vnto
the
great
encounter
that
hée
receiued
of
him
hée
should
haue
passed
great
extremitie
,
if
hée
had
ioyned
with
him
in
battaile
with
theyr
swoords
,
so
that
at
this
time
hée
made
little
account
of
the
rest
of
the
knights
which
remained
,
because
hee
had
brought
into
his
power
these
other
past
,
who
were
very
valiant
and
of
great
prowesse
.
The
Page
of
the
King
Sacridoro
when
hée
saw
his
Lord
carried
to
prison
and
his
healme
from
his
head
,
after
hee
had
made
that
great
encounter
,
he
would
tarrie
no
longer
,
but
with
great
sorrow
returned
vnto
Constantinople
,
whereas
hée
gaue
the
Emperour
to
vnderstand
●…ud
all
the
Knights
that
were
there
present
,
the
heauie
newes
of
all
that
had
passed
,
which
caused
such
an
admiration
in
all
them
that
heard
it
,
that
they
knew
not
what
to
say
,
but
that
Rodaran
was
the
most
valiauntest
and
strongest
knight
that
was
in
all
the
Pagan
land
.
And
the
sorrow
and
griefe
was
so
much
that
the
Emperour
receiued
,
that
hee
wold
haue
armed
himselfe
,
and
haue
gone
and
prooued
himselfe
with
Rodaran
,
but
that
his
sonne
Rosicleer
,
who
receiued
greatest
griefe
for
the
imprisonment
of
the
king
Sacridoro
,
and
was
the
fifth
to
whom
the
lot
dyd
fall
out
to
follow
the
demaund
.
Without
any
more
tarrying
hée
asked
lisence
of
his
Father
,
who
committing
him
vnto
God
,
dyd
graunt
it
vnto
him
,
saying
.
My
welbeeloued
and
good
sonne
,
vse
thy selfe
in
such
sort
that
thou
maist
reuenge
the
iniurie
done
vnto
thy
friends
.
And
in
this
thing
I
doo
acknowledge
the
great
benefit
that
God
hath
done
vnto
mée
,
in
that
I
doo
know
thée
and
thy
Brother
to
bée
my
sonnes
,
which
is
the
occasion
that
my
court
is
so
greatly
honoured
with
so
many
valiant
knights
,
and
now
in
this
time
that
Rodaran
hath
put
vs
into
this
great
extremitie
,
which
would
haue
fallen
out
very
euill
if
wée
should
haue
lacked
you
.
But
whereas
your
highnesse
is
,
said
Rosicleer
,
we
might
bée
well
forborne
,
for
if
it
were
so
that
wée
were
all
prisoners
vnto
Rodaran
,
wée
should
receiue
great
comfort
,
and
haue
our
libertie
very
certaine
,
if
you
alone
did
remaine
.
God
deliuer
you
from
this
,
said
the
Emperour
,
for
although
ther
should
be
no
lack
in
my
good
will
to
receiue
death
to
set
you
at
liberty
,
yet
my
force
&
strength
should
want
for
to
supplie
the
lack
of
such
knights
.
And
therwith
Rosicleer
dyd
humble
himselfe
vnto
the
Emperour
,
and
departed
out
of
the
great
hall
,
&
went
vnto
his
lodging
for
to
arme
himselfe
,
leauing
the
Emperour
and
all
the
rest
very
ioyfull
,
béeleeuing
of
a
certaintie
,
that
for
his
great
bountie
&
mightie
power
,
ther
was
not
a
Knight
in
all
the
world
(
setting
a
part
his
brother
the
inuinsible
Knight
of
the
Sunne
)
that
might
bée
compared
vnto
him
.
In
the
which
they
were
not
deceiued
,
although
it
happened
not
so
well
vnto
Rosicleer
in
the
〈◊〉
which
he
had
with
Rodaran
as
they
thought
,
as
in
the
chapter
following
shall
bée
declared
vnto
you
.
Of
the
strong
and
well
foughten
battaile
that
the
valiand
Rosicleer
had
with
that
stout
Pagan
Rodaran
,
and
of
all
that
happened
vnto
them
therein
.
Chapter
42.
THE
valyaunt
and
well
estéemed
Rosicleer
departed
out
of
the
Citie
of
Constantinople
,
carryeng
vpon
his
sheeld
the
deuise
of
Cupid
,
by
the
which
hee
was
knowen
and
looked
on
of
all
people
.
Likewise
the
windowes
were
full
of
Ladies
and
Damsels
,
who
prayed
vnto
God
for
the
victorie
of
theyr
Prince
,
as
though
hee
had
beene
their
owne
brother
,
who
trauailed
with
so
déepe
and
profound
thoughts
,
mixed
with
sorrow
,
which
were
vnto
him
as
much
care
,
as
to
sée
himselfe
with
Rodaran
in
battell
,
and
to
bring
him
prisoner
vnto
the
Emperour
.
In
this
sort
did
the
Prince
trauaile
towards
the
Bridge
of
Iaspe
,
and
béeing
sore
troubled
within
his
thoughts
,
oftentimes
hée
had
lost
his
way
,
if
his
page
which
went
with
him
had
not
put
him
in
remembrance
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
hée
made
the
time
long
before
hée
came
vnto
the
bridge
,
and
for
that
the
remembraunce
of
Don
Siluerio
dyd
cause
vnto
him
great
sorrow
and
griefe
,
that
many
times
hée
sayd
vnto
himselfe
:
Oh
if
God
were
so
pleased
,
that
in
satisfaction
of
the
great
trauayle
which
the
Princesse
Oliuia
hath
caused
mée
to
haue
,
that
this
knight
were
Don
Siluerio
,
hée
that
I
doo
now
goe
to
seeke
,
and
although
the
great
fauour
which
hée
hath
,
is
sufficient
to
defend
him
from
all
the
world
,
yet
the
great
reason
which
I
haue
to
complaine
my selfe
,
is
sufficient
that
I
dooe
execute
vpon
him
this
my
great
anger
&
wrath
.
And
in
this
thing
alone
the
Princesse
Oliuia
must
pardon
mée
,
for
although
I
would
rather
suffer
death
then
in
any
thing
to
cause
hir
to
receiue
anger
,
yet
cannot
I
let
to
dooe
that
and
much
more
,
to
giue
hir
vnderstanding
of
the
small
reason
that
shée
had
to
forget
mée
and
receiue
another
.
And
héere
I
doo
protest
that
if
death
doth
not
cut
mée
off
first
,
I
will
reuenge
this
my
bloody
wrath
,
and
then
perhaps
shée
will
wéepe
and
lament
hir
errour
.
And
althought
this
is
not
sufficient
to
make
satisfaction
vnto
this
my
vnhappie
Fortune
,
neyther
can
it
giue
anie
remidie
or
ease
vnto
this
great
griefe
,
the
which
I
haue
for
hir
cause
receiued
,
yet
it
shall
suffice
me
that
another
shall
not
boast
himselfe
,
to
haue
obtained
and
got
that
which
I
haue
lost
,
neither
any
other
to
reioice
himselfe
with
that
which
doth
cause
my
sorrow
and
griefe
.
And
although
that
this
shall
●…ée
against
all
reason
,
&
that
Don
Siluerio
doth
dot
deserue
〈◊〉
at
my
hands
,
yet
shall
it
bée
comfortable
vnto
my
heart
,
〈◊〉
that
it
is
so
captiue
vnto
loue
,
it
dooth
consent
vnto
no
●…eason
.
Rosicleer
in
saying
these
words
,
and
other
lyke
in
ef●…ect
,
after
much
trauaile
hée
came
vnto
the
bridge
of
Iaspe
,
●…ho
straight
waies
was
knowen
by
Rodaran
,
by
the
de●…se
that
hée
had
of
Cupid
,
whose
great
fame
and
renowne
〈◊〉
that
time
was
spread
throughout
all
Asia
,
more
then
any
Knight
therein
.
When
hée
was
armed
with
his
heauie
and
strong
armour
,
hée
straight
waies
mounted
vpon
one
of
the
biggest
and
lightest
horses
that
hée
had
,
and
the
Quéene
béeing
in
hir
royal
seat
of
estate
,
commanded
the
gate
of
the
first
tower
to
bée
opened
,
wherein
this
valiant
Rosicleer
entered
without
any
suspition
.
And
when
hée
drew
nigh
vnto
Rodaran
,
hée
dyd
salute
him
and
sayde
.
The
knight
of
Cupid
and
sonne
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
is
verie
welcome
vnto
me
for
that
his
great
fame
which
flieth
throughout
all
the
world
of
his
great
and
valiant
deeds
,
as
also
the
great
desire
which
I
haue
to
prooue
his
great
strength
with
mine
,
more
then
the
desire
that
I
haue
to
apprehend
the
knights
of
the
Emperour
,
hath
caused
mée
for
to
come
hether
into
these
Countries
.
Both
the
one
&
the
other
,
might
haue
béene
excused
Rodaran
,
sayde
the
knight
of
Cupid
,
for
that
men
beeing
in
their
owne
Countries
are
subiect
vnto
the
blowes
of
Fortune
,
and
haue
●…nough
to
doo
for
to
cleer●…
themselues
thereof
,
much
more
to
come
and
seeke
the
perils
and
daunger
in
a
straunge
Countrie
,
it
were
much
better
for
thee
to
haue
friends
in
Greece
.
And
if
the
Quéene
o●…
Carmania
doo
beare
thée
so
great
loue
,
as
shée
hath
published
,
wée
would
rather
procure
thy
rest
and
quyetnesse
,
and
not
thy
troubles
and
trauailes
,
wherein
thou
doost
so
much
pu●…
thy
life
in
aduenture
.
It
had
been
better
excused
of
thy
part
,
saide
Rodaran
,
the
seeking
of
the
aduenture
vnder
the
water
of
the
Fountaine
of
Phenicia
,
then
my
comming
hether
to
séeke
the
Knights
of
Grecia
,
but
for
that
both
Kinges
,
Princes
,
and
Knights
,
are
no
more
,
but
as
the
world
dooth
yeeld
vnto
them
honour
and
promotion
for
theyr
deserued
déedes
.
Then
it
is
not
much
that
wée
aduenture
our
liues
,
the
more
to
increase
our
honours
,
for
that
according
as
thou
hast
saide
,
in
all
places
men
are
subiect
vnto
the
perills
and
dangers
of
this
world
,
and
vnto
the
terrible
blowes
of
fortune
when
shée
listeth
to
strike
vs
,
notwithstanding
if
thou
doost
pretend
to
make
battayle
with
mée
,
vpon
the
occasion
which
you
know
,
choose
the
aduantage
of
the
bridge
to
the
contentment
,
if
not
,
returne
back
againe
from
whence
thou
commest
,
and
make
no
more
preaching
vnto
mée
.
But
the
answere
〈◊〉
the
valiaunt
Rosicleer
made
vnto
him
was
,
hee
turned
about
his
light
Horse
,
and
put
downe
the
beauer
of
his
helme
,
with
his
speare
in
his
hand
hée
went
&
put
him selfe
at
the
end
of
the
bridge
,
&
Rodaran
dyd
the
like
,
&
beeing
both
setled
,
they
stroke
their
horsses
with
so
great
fury
with
theyr
spurs
,
that
they
made
them
run
like
the
winde
,
and
in
the
middest
of
theyr
furious
course
they
made
theyr
encounter
,
&
executed
the
strength
of
their
mightie
speares
,
in
such
sort
,
that
glauncing
vpon
their
shéelds
,
they
lighted
vpon
theyr
fine
harneis
,
and
shéeuered
all
to
péeces
,
and
the
splinters
●…ew
a
great
way
into
the
field
,
yet
these
two
valiant
Knights
remained
as
firme
in
their
saddles
,
as
though
they
had
made
no
encounter
at
all
,
and
passed
the
one
by
the
other
without
touching
,
and
with
a
trise
they
returned
againe
with
their
Horsses
,
and
their
swoords
in
their
hands
,
and
assaulted
one
another
so
stronglie
,
that
the
first
blow
that
Rodaran
stroke
at
Rosicleer
,
lighted
vpon
his
Healme
with
so
great
strength
,
that
hée
made
him
decline
his
head
to
his
breast
,
but
the
first
blow
that
Rosicleer
stroke
at
him
,
was
such
a
one
,
that
the
shéeld
which
hée
lift
vp
for
to
ward
the
same
,
was
cut
in
peeces
hard
by
his
hand
,
but
the
fine
cutting
Swoord
of
the
Queene
Iuha
,
not
remayning
there
,
did
descend
downe
vpon
his
healme
with
so
great
fury
and
force
,
that
hee
made
him
decline
his
head
downe
vnto
his
Horse
necke
,
who
felt
such
great
griefe
with
that
terrible
blow
,
that
hée
thought
verily
that
all
his
head
had
〈◊〉
in
●…eeces
,
and
be●…gan
to
say
vnto
himselfe
:
Oh
high
and
immortall
Gods
,
in
whom
I
and
all
the
Arabians
doo
béeléeue
,
●…et
héere
thy
diuine
power
defend
mée
from
this
strong
and
●…aliant
Knight
,
for
if
it
fall
out
so
,
that
I
receiue
many
such
●…lows
as
this
was
,
it
cannot
bée
otherwise
,
but
that
needes
●…
must
héere
ende
my
dayes
:
Oh
old
King
of
Gedrosia
,
who
●…ould
haue
beleeued
that
I
shuld
haue
found
in
the
Christi●…
knights
so
much
strength
.
Oh
you
immortall
Gods
,
saue
and
defende
the
mightie
Emperour
of
the
gran
Tartaria
,
that
hée
come
not
into
this
Empire
of
Greece
,
for
to
acknowledge
&
prooue
the
knights
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
his
Court
,
for
that
I
doo
assure
you
if
you
come
hether
,
that
you
nor
none
of
yours
will
returne
againe
vnto
Arabia
,
for
that
these
alone
knights
are
sufficient
to
destroy
you
all
,
if
that
now
by
my
power
and
force
I
doo
not
make
resistance
,
and
put
order
for
to
disturbe
them
.
And
in
saying
these
words
,
Rodaran
with
great
courage
stroke
at
Rosicleer
great
&
mightie
blowes
,
who
likewise
receiued
such
by
the
hands
of
his
aduersarie
,
that
if
it
should
haue
endured
long
,
hée
must
needes
haue
receiued
the
worst
.
And
hauing
great
confidence
in
his
mighty
strength
and
in
the
bignesse
of
his
body
,
determined
to
assault
his
aduersarie
by
proofe
thereof
,
and
therewith
hée
threw
his
Swoord
from
him
,
and
caught
Rosicleer
in
his
armes
,
and
trauailed
with
his
strength
all
that
euer
he
could
for
to
hoise
him
out
of
his
saddle
,
or
to
ouerthrow
him
to
the
ground
,
but
Rosicleer
who
was
as
strong
as
hée
,
dyd
not
refuse
the
wrastling
,
but
likewise
threw
his
Swoord
from
him
,
and
caught
him
béetwixt
his
strong
armes
,
and
dyd
so
stronglie
crush
him
,
that
Rosicleer
dyd
well
perceiue
that
his
determination
dyd
not
fall
out
as
hée
thought
.
So
in
this
sort
for
a
good
space
they
trauayled
the
one
to
ouerthrow
the
other
,
but
there
was
no
aduauntage
perceiued
béetwéene
them
,
neyther
could
the
one
ouerthrow
his
aduersarie
,
till
in
the
end
after
gret
trauayle
they
both
together
dyd
force
themselues
so
much
,
clasping
theyr
knées
hard
vnto
theyr
saddle
,
hauing
one
another
in
their
armes
,
they
did
so
much
,
that
both
theyr
Horsses
foundered
and
fell
with
theyr
masters
vnto
the
ground
,
and
being
downe
,
for
to
arise
againe
they
were
constrained
to
loose
themselues
.
who
with
a
〈◊〉
were
vpon
their
féete
,
and
returned
to
their
battaile
againe
with
their
swoords
,
for
they
could
little
profit
themselues
with
wrastling
,
in
the
which
contention
they
endured
more
then
two
houres
,
without
knowing
any
aduauntage
in
eyther
of
them
,
although
in
the
ende
it
séemed
vnto
Rodaran
that
Rosicleer
,
did
execute
his
fury
with
so
great
courage
&
lightnesse
,
as
when
he
first
began
the
battaile
,
&
saw
plainly
that
whatsoeuer
he
could
do
,
he
should
get
no
victory
of
him
,
but
saw
the
perill
of
his
destruction
to
be
very
certaine
,
if
he
should
long
endure
his
strong
&
terrible
blowes
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
he
dissembled
&
shewed
himselfe
to
bée
much
more
weary
then
he
was
,
&
began
litle
&
litle
to
retier
backwards
,
towards
the
place
wheras
the
quéene
of
Carmenia
was
:
alwaies
striking
at
Rosicleer
,
his
blowes
of
more
fury
and
force
,
who
followed
him
,
for
that
he
should
not
gather
any
suspition
of
falsehood
.
So
in
this
sort
they
did
combat
tog●…ther
very
strongly
,
till
such
time
as
they
were
both
vnder
the
arch
or
vaute
,
hard
by
whereas
the
Queene
was
:
who
séeing
Rodaran
,
so
nigh
the
point
to
be
ouercome
,
she
pulled
the
cord
,
&
made
the
Iron
net
to
fall
downe
vpon
both
the
knights
in
such
sort
,
that
they
were
both
prisoners
,
&
so
fast
baund
,
that
they
could
not
moue
themselues
to
the
one
part
nor
to
the
other
.
And
straightwaies
the
quéene
of
Carmania
,
arose
vp
from
the
place
wheras
she
sate
,
&
went
vnto
Rosicleer
,
&
pulled
of
his
helme
from
his
head
,
&
likewise
toke
away
his
sword
,
&
he
could
not
defend
the
same
,
&
caused
manakles
to
be
put
vpon
his
wrists
,
&
a
great
chaine
at
his
necke
.
And
this
being
done
,
she
opened
the
yron
net
,
and
caused
it
to
he
drawen
vp
,
as
it
was
before
,
and
the
Knights
cleare
of
the
same
:
But
when
Rosicleer
saw
this
great
dis●…eit
&
treason
,
he
was
so
angry
&
full
of
courage
,
that
being
as
he
was
,
if
he
had
had
his
sword
in
his
hand
,
he
would
haue
rewarded
Rodaran
according
vnto
his
deserts
.
But
when
he
saw
that
ther
was
no
remedy
,
with
great
patience
&
wisdome
he
did
ouercome
the
great
force
of
his
yre
,
paciently●…
suffering
that
his
peruers
fortune
:
&
with
great
discreation
he
said
vnto
Rodaran
,
I
doe
much
meruaile
what
thy
meaning
and
determinate
purpose
is
,
to
vse
such
disceipt
for
to
apprehend
good
and
worthy
knights
:
for
that
their
ouerthrow
cannot
aduance
vnto
thée
any
honour
,
neither
their
imprisonment
giue
thée
any
profit
.
To
whom
Rodaran
aunswered
&
said
:
Doe
not
thou
think
Knight
of
Cupid
,
that
I
haue
profited
my selfe
in
vsing
of
this
remedy
to
get
the
prisoner
,
for
it
hath
not
bene
for
feare
or
doubt
that
I
had
of
the
battaile
,
or
for
necessitie
of
helpe
for
to
ouercome
&
get
the
victory
of
thée
:
no
no
,
but
onely
for
that
I
doe
sée
that
ther
doth
remain
a
great
number
of
good
knights
with
whom
I
must
combat
:
so
that
I
would
not
detaine
my self
so
long
in
the
apprehending
of
one
alone
knight
.
For
that
I
haue
promised
,
in
a
very
short
time
,
to
present
vnto
the
mightye
Emperour
of
Tartaria
,
the
best
knights
in
all
Grecia
,
for
prisoners
.
Who
for
that
you
are
all
enemies
vnto
our
sect
and
lawes
,
he
would
gladly
sée
you
all
slaine
.
Unto
which
words
of
Rodaran
,
Rosicleer
would
not
answere
any
thing
,
but
suffered
them
to
cary
him
wheras
the
other
knights
were
prisoners
:
who
hauing
heard
the
great
noise
&
rumour
of
the
battaile
,
they
were
meruailously
astonied
,
fearing
what
it
should
be
.
But
when
they
saw
them
bring
thether
Rosicleer
with
his
helme
taken
of
,
&
a
great
chaine
at
his
necke
,
theyr
sorrow
&
griese
did
increase
,
in
such
sort
,
that
either
of
them
would
haue
giuen
the
aduenture
against
ten
such
as
Rodaran
,
for
to
sée
themselues
at
liberty
,
onely
for
to
giue
him
his
payment
for
this
his
great
treason
.
But
when
Rosicleer
,
did
sée
them
,
his
sorrow
&
paine
was
so
great
,
that
he
could
not
speake
,
but
they
forceing
themselues
all
that
euer
they
could
,
did
comfort
him
,
saying
:
That
now
was
the
time
to
put
away
sorrow
&
griefe
and
to
bée
thankfull
vnto
almighty
god
,
for
that
séeing
that
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
was
abrod
,
&
at
liberty
,
that
God
would
not
consent
that
so
great
treason
should
goe
forwards
,
but
that
by
the
force
&
strength
of
his
armes
,
hée
will
put
remedy
,
the
better
that
we
may
vnderstand
and
know
,
that
the
great
force
and
strength
of
men
,
neither
the
great
and
surpassing
beautie
&
valour
of
knights
,
is
not
sufficient
,
whereas
doth
lacke
his
diuine
succour
.
At
this
time
the
great
ioy
&
pleasure
,
which
Rodaran
receiued
,
was
out
of
all
measure
,
séeing
hee
had
got
for
prisoner
that
famous
&
valiant
Knight
of
Cupid
.
And
that
ther
could
remaine
no
other
knight
,
that
was
able
to
make
any
resistance
against
his
great
force
&
strength
,
but
onely
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
of
whom
he
had
heard
tell
of
his
meruailous
and
strange
déeds
of
armes
.
And
hoped
to
haue
him
very
shortly
ther
prisoner
,
with
the
rest
of
the
Knights
,
by
the
aid
of
this
subtill
art
of
the
quéeue
Carmania
,
vnto
whom
he
gaue
great
thanks
for
the
great
pollicy
vsed
therin
.
Wheras
before
hée
was
very
greuous
and
sorrowfull
for
the
same
,
thinking
it
should
not
be
requisit
nor
néedefull
in
any
respect
.
So
when
that
the
page
of
Rosicleer
,
who
was
within
perceiued
that
the
battaile
was
ended
,
he
knocked
very
strongly
at
the
gate
by
the
ring
,
till
such
time
,
as
he
was
answered
&
giuen
to
vnderstand
,
that
his
master
was
ouercome
&
lost
the
victory
,
&
was
prisoner
:
&
how
that
he
should
depart
vnto
the
emperour
Trebatio
,
&
tell
him
that
hée
should
send
an
other
knight
.
The
page
when
he
heard
these
words
,
with
great
sorrow
&
heauinesse
,
he
departed
from
thence
,
&
sayde
within
himselfe
:
well
,
séeing
that
Rodaran
had
ouercome
the
Knight
of
Cupid
,
so
likewise
he
would
ouercome
&
haue
the
victory
of
all
the
rest
that
remained
.
And
many
times
he
did
curse
&
ban
Rodaran
,
&
the
quéene
Carmania
,
for
that
they
came
vnto
the
court
,
at
that
time
of
so
great
feastes
&
triumphes
,
which
the
Emperour
made
,
for
acknowledging
of
his
sons
:
and
therby
to
cause
vnto
them
so
great
sorrow
&
griefe
.
So
when
he
came
vnto
Constantinople
,
he
awayted
such
time
as
the
Emperour
was
at
dinner
,
accompanied
with
all
his
best
knights
:
at
which
time
he
entred
into
the
great
hal
,
wher
as
they
were
,
&
began
to
declare
vnto
them
(
shedding
so
many
teares
,
that
almost
he
could
not
speake
)
how
that
Rosicleer
remayned
prisoner
,
&
of
all
that
passed
with
Rodaran
,
sauing
in
what
sort
he
was
taken
prisoner
:
for
that
in
the
place
wheras
he
stoode
for
to
sée
the
battaile
▪
hée
could
not
sée
any
part
of
the
second
tower
,
so
that
he
could
say
nothing
therein
.
But
when
the
emperour
&
all
the
rest
of
the
knights
heard
those
heauy
newes
,
they
were
so
greatly
amazed
,
that
they
were
almost
out
of
their
wittes
,
not
knowing
what
to
say
,
but
looking
the
one
vpon
the
other
,
and
séemed
vnto
them
as
though
it
had
ben
a
dreame
.
But
when
these
newes
came
to
the
hearing
of
the
Empresse
,
hir
sorrowfull
greefe
was
so
great
,
that
as
one
dead
,
shée
fell
down
into
the
lap
of
the
princes
Claridiana
,
who
sat
next
vnto
hir
,
&
procured
with
all
hir
force
,
to
bring
hir
to
hir selfe
againe
,
and
did
comfort
hir
,
saying
,
that
she
had
no
reason
so
much
to
set
vnto
hyr
hart
the
imprisonment
of
Rosicleer
,
&
how
that
she
was
fully
perswaded
,
that
it
was
a
thing
impossible
,
except
it
wer
by
treason
,
&
requested
hir
to
pacifie
hir selfe
,
for
that
there
remained
such
knightes
behind
,
who
very
quickly
would
discouer
the
secret
therof
,
&
when
that
this
will
not
serue
,
Rodaran
is
still
in
your
country
out
of
the
which
you
néed
not
let
them
to
depart
and
carry
away
their
prise
.
At
which
time
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
without
any
more
tarrying
arose
out
of
the
place
whereas
hée
was
with
so
great
anger
,
that
his
faire
and
white
coulour
,
was
turned
into
sanguine
and
black
.
And
asking
licence
of
the
emperour
,
he
departed
out
of
the
great
hall
,
&
went
vnto
his
lodging
&
armed
himselfe
with
his
strong
and
bright
armour
,
&
mounting
vpon
his
strange
&
light
horse
,
he
departed
out
of
Constantinople
,
&
toke
his
way
towards
the
bridge
of
the
Iaspe
,
with
as
great
desire
to
sée
himself
with
Rodaran
,
as
to
returne
wheras
he
might
comfort
and
reioyce
himselfe
with
the
sight
of
his
Ladies
:
without
whose
sight
,
in
such
like
passions
,
it
séemed
that
it
was
not
possible
that
he
could
liue
:
who
at
this
present
this
History
doth
leaue
,
for
to
tell
you
of
other
things
that
passed
in
the
meane
time
in
England
.

Chap.
43.
YOu
haue
heard
what
great
sorrow
&
griefe
the
newes
of
the
death
of
Rosicleer
did
cause
in
the
Court
of
the
King
Oliuerio
,
&
likewise
how
ioyfull
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
was
,
for
that
the
king
had
giuen
him
his
word
&
promise
that
the
princesse
Oliuia
should
marrye
with
him
,
but
he
did
not
so
much
desire
it
,
as
the
princes
did
hate
him
.
For
although
that
the
heauy
newes
of
the
death
of
Rosicleer
did
touch
hir
very
neere
,
yet
she
repented
hir selfe
so
much
,
for
that
crueltie
which
she
had
vsed
vnto
him
,
&
the
great
loue
that
the
remembrance
of
him
did
cause
in
hir
,
that
rather
she
would
consent
to
death
,
then
agree
vnto
that
which
the
king
hir
father
had
requested
of
hir
diuers
and
sundry
times
.
And
for
that
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
dyd
many
times
importune
the
king
to
performe
his
promise
,
which
was
the
thing
he
most
desired
.
Who
answered
him
,
that
till
such
time
as
he
had
ended
the
wars
which
hée
had
with
the
emperour
Trebatio
,
hee
could
not
by
any
meanes
conclude
with
the
princes
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
continually
he
passed
the
time
in
grieuous
passions
,
supposing
that
it
was
for
no
other
thing
,
but
a
pollisie
,
to
cause
the
princesse
to
giue
hir
father
such
an
answere
as
should
be
contrary
to
his
will
&
desire
.
And
because
the
time
to
giue
case
and
remedy
vnto
his
desire
was
so
long
,
and
he
not
able
to
endure
,
(
his
sorrow
and
griefe
was
such
)
the
delay
thereof
.
Upon
a
day
,
at
such
time
as
he
found
the
princesse
Rodasilua
all
alone
he
did
verye
earnestly
desire
hir
,
that
by
all
wayes
and
meanes
possible
she
should
learne
to
know
of
the
Princesse
Oliuia
the
truth
of
the
aunswere
which
shée
made
vnto
the
king
hir
father
at
such
time
as
he
tolde
hir
that
he
would
marry
hir
with
him
,
whether
,
it
was
with
good
will
and
determined
purpose
to
accomplish
the
same
at
the
time
appointed
,
or
whether
she
did
it
to
prolong
the
time
,
being
moued
by
some
hatred
towards
him
,
for
that
according
vnto
hir
answere
,
he
would
determine
what
were
best
for
him
to
doe
.
Then
the
princesse
Rodasilua
who
had
great
desire
to
vse
remedy
and
to
ease
the
sorrowfull
passions
of
hir
brother
,
did
promise
him
to
doe
all
that
euer
in
hir
power
was
possible
to
be
done
,
&
so
tooke
hir
leaue
&
departed
from
him
,
&
waited
hir
time
.
It
chanced
afterward
vpon
a
day
at
such
time
as
the
princesse
Oliuia
was
alone
in
hir
closet
,
she
went
&
knocked
at
the
doore
,
&
being
knowen
who
she
was
,
the
doore
was
opened
straight
waies
,
&
she
went
in
,
&
found
the
princesse
with
hir
countenance
very
heauy
&
sorrowfull
,
and
hir
eyes
swollen
with
continuall
wéeping
,
&
hir
faire
chéekes
which
before
were
wont
to
be
rudy
&
full
,
was
now
so
leane
&
wan
,
as
though
she
had
ben
new
risin
out
of
some
great
sicknesse
or
infirmity
.
And
finding
hir
in
this
order
,
being
moued
thereby
vnto
great
compassion
,
she
said
:
What
is
this
my
lady
&
mistres
,
is
it
not
sufficient
,
the
time
wherin
I
serued
you
for
maid
of
honor
,
&
the
great
good
will
that
continully
I
had
in
any
thing
that
did
appertaine
vnto
your
seruice
,
in
the
which
I
was
alwaies
faithfull
&
true
,
&
do
I
not
now
deserue
to
know
the
occasion
wherefore
,
and
from
whence
doth
procéede
(
that
wheras
at
other
times
you
were
wont
to
be
very
merry
&
ioyfull
,
&
giuen
to
pleasure
&
pastimes
,
&
now
vpon
the
sodaine
to
be
so
sorrowfull
&
sad
)
for
that
I
haue
séene
your
great
beauty
&
fairenesse
to
snrmoūt
all
other
damsels
&
gentlewomen
in
the
world
,
&
now
I
doe
sée
all
lost
&
in
a
mortall
hew
.
Tell
me
the
occasion
for
gods
sake
wherfore
it
should
grow
,
that
I
might
do
my
good
will
and
therin
shew
the
great
loue
that
I
doe
beare
vnto
you
,
in
séeking
remedy
for
the
same
.
And
héere
I
do
protest
that
if
you
will
not
giue
me
to
vnderstand
the
occasion
héereof
,
that
forth
with
I
wil
depart
from
hence
vnto
mine
own
country
,
for
that
I
do
not
determine
to
serue
any
more
those
that
so
euill
doe
reward
them
that
doe
trauaile
in
their
seruice
.
At
which
words
of
the
princesse
Rodasilua
,
the
princesse
Oliuia
receiued
no
ioy
nor
pleasure
,
but
rather
did
the
more
increase
hir
paine
&
griefe
,
for
that
she
knew
not
what
to
answere
vnto
such
an
importunat
demaund
although
after
a
while
that
she
held
hir
peace
,
with
great
desire
that
she
had
to
turne
hir
of
,
&
to
send
hir
away
,
shée
said
.
Lady
it
is
very
doubtfull
and
hard
to
thinke
that
any
person
in
the
world
can
perseuer
in
their
great
pleasure
&
contentment
,
&
neuer
to
receiue
any
sadnesse
nor
griefes
in
their
liues
,
no
,
for
sure
it
is
a
thing
that
onely
is
receiued
for
those
happy
creatures
who
doe
reioyce
themselues
in
the
celestiall
glory
,
&
if
at
this
present
that
I
am
so
sad
&
discontented
as
you
do
sée
me
,
it
is
not
a
thing
to
be
meruailed
at
,
for
that
it
is
no
new
thing
to
all
vs
that
doe
line
in
this
world
,
euery
day
to
receiue
pleasure
&
displeasure
.
And
if
in
all
this
time
I
haue
not
told
you
the
occasion
wherfore
I
am
sad
,
it
hath
not
ben
for
lack
of
good
will
for
to
pleasure
you
,
neither
lack
of
knowledge
of
the
good
deeds
which
continually
I
haue
receiued
by
you
,
but
onely
the
euill
which
I
do
féele
in
mée
is
such
,
&
of
such
quality
,
that
I
my selfe
doe
not
vnderstand
it
for
to
shew
it
vnto
the
phisition
,
whereby
he
might
procure
some
Phisick
for
to
remedy
the
same
.
But
this
onely
I
can
say
,
that
I
do
find
my selfe
very
sad
,
for
that
ther
is
nothing
that
can
giue
me
any
contentment
to
reioyce
&
recreat
my selfe
.
Likewise
I
doe
féele
my selfe
mortall
,
for
that
I
doe
hate
and
abhorre
to
liue
,
so
that
ther
is
no
Phisicke
to
bée
ministred
,
wheras
sicknesse
is
not
knowen
And
this
great
heauinesse
&
discontentment
doth
proceed
from
my
hart
,
and
there
is
none
but
the
heart
that
can
declare
from
whence
the
occasion
doth
proceede
.
This
is
all
that
I
can
aduertise
you
,
my
ladies
&
princes
,
&
if
this
doe
not
giue
you
satisfaction
,
you
must
pardon
me
,
for
that
I
am
not
to
giue
you
any
farther
intelligence
.
In
this
hath
your
highnes
shewed
me
great
fauor
,
said
Rodasilua
,
in
that
you
would
vouchsafe
to
declare
vnto
me
the
qualitie
of
this
your
infirmitie
,
which
is
one
of
the
strangest
diseases
that
euer
I
heard
of
in
all
my
life
.
And
being
such
a
sicknesse
as
you
haue
told
me
,
it
cannot
be
knowen
,
neyther
is
ther
any
phisicke
to
be
ministred
,
I
promise
you
I
know
not
what
to
say
therevnto
,
but
onely
this
,
&
in
my
iudgement
it
is
best
,
that
you
take
vnto
your selfe
a
husband
,
hauing
now
so
good
opportunitie
,
in
that
the
king
your
father
doth
offer
vnto
you
such
a
mariage
,
as
is
conuenient
for
your
honour
&
estate
.
And
although
I
am
a
damsell
&
haue
no
experience
of
these
matters
,
yet
by
my selfe
I
may
iudge
of
another
,
&
doe
suppose
that
ther
is
nothing
vnder
the
Sun
that
is
more
profitable
to
giue
you
pleasure
,
&
to
cause
you
to
haue
contentment
,
&
to
put
from
you
this
heauinesse
which
you
haue
vpon
your
stomacke
:
&
séeing
that
it
is
a
thing
certaine
that
you
must
doe
héereafter
,
as
you
haue
promised
&
giuen
your
word
vnto
the
king
Oliuerio
,
your
father
,
in
my
opinion
it
were
better
out
of
hand
to
procure
the
same
,
&
not
to
prolong
the
time
,
but
take
time
whilest
time
doth
serue
,
for
that
peraduenture
the
time
will
come
that
you
would
,
&
then
you
cannot
,
for
as
you
haue
said
,
ther
is
no
constancy
in
things
of
this
world
,
&
euery
day
you
haue
a
new
chaunge
,
&
the
conditions
of
men
doe
alter
.
At
which
words
the
princes
▪
Oliuia
dyd
well
vnderstand
,
that
the
whole
communication
of
the
Princesse
Rodasilua
did
extend
in
the
fauour
of
Don
Siluerio
hir
brother
,
for
the
which
,
béeing
angry
,
as
shee
,
who
did
hate
and
ab●…orre
him
more
then
any
thing
in
all
the
world
,
pretending
to
put
hir
out
of
all
doubt
,
and
that
she
should
not
afterwardes
come
vnto
hir
any
more
with
the
like
enterprise
,
shée
aunswered
hir
agayne
and
sayde
:
Lady
I
doe
giue
you
great
thankes
for
this
remedy
which
you
haue
giuen
mée
for
my
great
sicknesse
,
and
dooe
accept
very
much
your
good
will
therein
,
but
yet
I
should
thincke
much
better
of
you
(
séeing
as
you
doo
say
that
your
whole
desire
is
that
I
might
haue
remedie
for
the
same
(
that
such
Phisicke
as
you
doo
wish
vnto
mee
,
might
extend
wholie
to
expulse
this
my
great
sorrow
and
griefe
,
and
not
vnder
coulour
of
pretence
to
ease
and
help
mée
,
to
procure
to
put
remedie
in
some
other
,
fayning
to
applie
it
wholie
vnto
mee
.
Therefore
Lady
and
Princesse
Rodasylua
,
héere
I
doo
giue
you
to
vnderstand
of
a
certaintie
,
that
there
is
no
remedy
of
Phisicke
that
can
giue
remedy
and
ease
of
this
my
great
euill
,
no
I
say
,
not
to
one
part
thereof
,
but
onely
death
,
which
I
doo
desire
to
take
mée
out
of
this
world
.
And
now
séeing
that
I
haue
so
plainely
declared
vnto
you
that
your
counsayle
giuen
mée
for
my
comfort
and
ease
,
doth
little
profit
,
and
therein
no
remedie
nor
help
is
to
bee
hoped
of
,
I
doo
most
hartelie
desire
you
to
speake
no
more
vnto
mée
thereof
from
this
day
forwards
,
for
that
it
is
not
vnknowen
vnto
you
how
yong
and
tender
I
am
of
age
,
and
that
there
is
no
time
lost
in
mée
for
to
tarrie
,
and
when
time
shall
serue
,
I
will
accomplish
and
performe
all
that
shall
bée
reason
,
and
whatsoeuer
the
King
my
father
shall
commaund
mée
.
And
in
that
you
doo
say
,
that
peraduenture
when
I
would
,
then
opportunitie
will
not
serue
:
Lady
,
you
doo
know
well
▪
that
there
bée
many
Princes
in
the
world
,
and
other
Lords
of
great
estate
,
and
againe
,
that
I
am
a
damsell
and
daughter
vnto
such
a
Father
,
that
with
the
help
of
God
I
shall
not
remaine
by
the
walls
and
lost
.
And
héerewith
the
Princesse
Oliuia
dyd
holde
hir
peace
,
and
arose
vp
from
the
place
whereas
shée
was
,
for
that
Rodasilua
should
not
replie
any
more
in
hir
béegunne
pretence
.
Who
hearing
and
wel
vnderstanding
all
that
the
Princesse
hadde
sayde
vnto
hir
,
with-out
any
more
woords
shée
departed
out
of
the
Closet
,
and
went
vnto
hir
owne
lodging
,
and
presentlie
sent
for
the
Prince
hir
brother
,
and
declared
vnto
him
all
that
shée
had
passed
with
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
who
receiued
so
great
sorrow
and
griefe
,
that
in
a
good
space
hée
could
not
speake
one
word
,
but
the
Princesse
Rodasilua
his
sister
did
comfort
him
,
saying
,
that
hee
should
bée
quyet
and
haue
patience
,
and
to
dissemble
all
that
possiblie
hee
could
,
for
that
shee
hoped
with
the
help
of
God
that
time
would
serue
that
the
Princesse
Oliuia
would
bée
better
perswaded
,
&
that
shee
did
béeleeue
that
all
hir
sorrow
&
griefe
was
for
the
death
of
Rosicleer
,
&
that
béeing
once
forgotten
,
then
would
she
acknowledge
the
great
benefit
which
she
should
obtain
in
receiuing
so
noble
a
Prince
for
hir
husband
,
&
giue
God
great
thanks
for
the
same
.
So
béetwixt
them
there
passed
much
other
communication
about
that
matter
,
&
in
the
end
they
tooke
their
leaue
of
one
another
&
departed
,
but
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
receied
so
great
sorrow
&
griefe
,
that
a
great
time
●…fter
ther
neuer
entred
in
him
any
mirth
or
pastime
,
but
alwaies
in
great
sadnesse
,
languishing
with
the
great
suspition
that
hee
had
of
his
loue
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
till
such
time
as
hée
béethought
himselfe
of
a
pollicie
,
wherby
he
might
remedy
himselfe
of
his
great
sorrow
and
griefe
,
&
beecause
opportunitie
dyd
not
serue
,
hee
did
delay
the
time
till
hée
did
execute
it
,
as
shall
bee
tolde
you
heereafter
in
this
Historie
.
How
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
went
to
combat
with
Rodaran
,
and
how
by
a
demand
hee
left
his
determined
iourney
.
Chapter
44.
WIth
great
desire
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
trauayled
towards
the
Bridge
of
Iaspe
,
for
to
bee
with
that
Pagan
Rodaran
,
with
so
valiant
a
courage
,
that
hée
thought
more
of
the
time
that
hée
should
bée
absent
from
the
sight
and
companie
of
his
Ladies
,
then
of
the
braue
and
〈◊〉
battayle
which
hée
should
haue
with
Rodaran
,
and
although
tenne
of
the
most
brauest
and
valyaun●…
Knights
in
all
the
world
did
abide
his
comming
,
for
to
haue
contention
with
him
,
yet
for
all
that
it
should
not
bee
any
occasion
to
put
from
him
his
amorous
thought
and
great
care
,
neither
cause
him
to
receiue
any
feare
in
his
valiant
&
couragious
stomacke
.
And
being
ingu●…sed
with
these
his
amorous
passions
,
his
horse
caried
him
whether
he
wold
.
And
calling
to
remembraunce
the
Princesse
Claridiana
and
the
fatre
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
the
absence
of
them
was
the
occasion
that
he
thought
verily
his
hart
wold
haue
parted
a
sunder
in
two
péeces
.
In
this
sort
hee
trauailed
towards
the
bridge
the
first
day
,
and
the
second
day
that
he
departed
out
of
Constantinople
,
trauailing
in
a
great
broade
vsed
way
,
he
saw
a
far
of
comming
towards
him
a
knight
of
a
big
stature
,
and
mounted
vpon
a
mighty
couser
,
and
armed
with
verie
rich
and
precious
armour
,
and
brought
in
his
company
a
ladie
of
great
beautie
,
meruaylouslie
well
appara●…led
,
and
mounted
vppon
a
Palfray
.
And
when
hée
approched
nigh
vnto
them
,
hauing
a
great
pleasure
to
beehould
the
Knight
,
he
stayed
his
horse
,
and
saluting
them
with
great
curtesie
,
hee
asked
of
them
if
they
were
of
that
Countrie
,
and
whether
they
trauayled
.
Then
the
Knight
who
was
greatlie
amazed
at
the
singular
disposition
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
the
straungenesse
of
his
armour
and
horse
,
dyd
answere
him
and
sayde
,
that
they
were
not
of
that
Countrie
,
but
straungers
.
And
what
should
bée
the
occasion
to
mooue
him
to
aske
that
question
.
The
Knight
of
the
Sunne
replyed
agayne
saying
:
for
no
other
intent
but
to
doo
vnto
you
all
the
pleasure
that
in
mée
dooth
lye
,
for
your
gentle
disposition
caused
mée
to
demaund
this
question
.
I
pray
God
that
I
may
gratifie
your
great
courtesie
,
sayde
the
straunge
Knight
.
And
héere
I
doo
giue
you
great
thanks
for
your
good
will
offered
vnto
mée
,
beeing
as
I
am
.
You
shall
vnderstand
sir
knight
,
that
I
am
of
a
Countrie
very
straunge
and
far
from
this
land
,
and
I
am
come
hether
in
the
demaund
of
a
knight
who
is
called
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
whose
fame
is
such
,
that
I
am
come
foorth
of
my
Countrie
to
séeke
him
.
Therefore
sir
Knight
,
if
you
can●…e
giue
me
any
newes
of
him
,
and
●…ell
where
I
shal
finde
him
,
you
shall
doo
mée
great
pleasure
and
curtesie
therein
.
At
which
words
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
was
very
much
amazed
,
hearing
that
a
knight
of
a
strange
countrie
should
come
in
his
demaund
,
and
beeing
very
desirous
to
know
his
Embassage
,
hée
answered
and
sayd
.
Of
a
truth
sir
Knight
,
you
could
not
haue
met
with
one
that
better
could
haue
giuen
you
newes
of
this
knight
then
with
mee
,
for
I
can
giue
you
to
vnderstand
where
you
shall
finde
him
before
one
houre
bee
past
,
but
yet
first
before
I
doo
tell
you
where
he
is
,
I
shall
receiue
great
curtesie
if
you
do
tell
mee
what
the
occasion
is
that
you
doo
come
in
this
sort
to
séeke
him
.
The
knight
was
very
glad
and
ioyfull
when
he
heard
that
newes
,
for
that
it
was
the
thing
that
at
that
time
hée
most
desired
,
and
thinking
the
time
long
to
know
where
hee
might
finde
him
,
hee
sayd
.
Of
a
truth
sir
Knight
,
although
there
had
béene
no
occasion
of
your
part
to
binde
mée
to
declare
vnto
you
the
occasion
of
my
comming
,
your
great
curtesie
and
gentle
disposition
is
sufficient
to
cause
mée
to
declare
vnto
you
that
which
you
doo
demaund
,
and
to
binde
mee
to
doo
in
your
seruice
any
other
thing
whatsoeuer
your
pleasure
is
to
commaund
mée
.
And
now
you
shall
vnderstand
that
I
am
King
Lyseo
of
Lydia
,
and
this
Lady
whom
I
bring
with
mée
is
my
wyfe
,
and
our
euill
hap
and
misfortune
hath
beene
such
,
that
at
such
time
as
wée
were
most
prosperous
and
receiued
greatest
ioy
and
contentment
in
our
Kingdomes
,
and
most
at
our
ease
,
a
cruell
tyrant
and
King
of
Arcadia
,
in
respect
of
certaine
contentions
which
chanced
beetwixt
vs
two
,
being
trauayling
knights
,
hée
is
now
risen
vp
against
mée
,
and
as
a
mortall
enimie
dooth
inuade
my
kingdome
,
with
so
great
puiss●…nce
of
Knights
and
Gyaunts
,
and
hath
entered
into
the
same
,
and
hath
spoyled
and
taken
all
,
sauing
one
alon●…
Citie
called
Lydia
,
whereas
I
haue
defended
my selfe
for
the
space
of
two
mooneths
with
those
small
companie
of
knights
which
remayned
with
great
trauayle
,
and
euerie
day
is
presented
vnto
vs
death
beefore
our
eyes
.
So
in
the
ende
of
this
time
,
I
seeing
that
the
strength
and
power
of
the
king
dyd
dayly
increase
,
and
that
mine
did
still
diminish
,
and
that
I
had
no
remedie
to
defend
and
deliuer
that
Citie
,
which
is
the
principall
force
and
strength
of
all
my
Kingdome
,
the
remnant
of
my
knights
called
a
counsell
together
,
and
commaund
what
was
best
to
bee
done
therein
,
and
they
all
with
one
consent
thought
it
best
that
I
should
goe
and
séeke
some
aide
and
succour
,
wherewith
wee
might
defend
our selues
from
our
enimies
,
and
giue
mee
theyr
words
that
they
would
defend
the
Cittie
till
such
time
as
I
returned
.
And
I
séeing
that
it
was
the
thing
that
dyd
●…éehoooue
mée
very
much
,
I
fell
at
a
consent
with
them
that
they
should
make
their
defence
,
&
abide
my
retourne
for
the
space
of
two
moneths
,
and
ie
it
so
fell
out
that
in
that
space
I
did
not
returne
againe
,
that
they
should
conclude
a
truse
with
the
king
of
Arcadia
for
a
certaine
space
,
as
they
thought
best
.
This
béeing
agréed
vpon
,
in
great
secrecie
I
and
my
wise
departed
out
of
the
Citie
,
with
determination
to
seeke
out
some
aide
and
succour
,
wherewith
I
may
defend
the
Citie
of
Lydia
,
for
in
making
defence
thereof
,
almost
the
whole
Kingdome
is
defended
.
And
that
béeing
lost
,
it
is
without
all
hope
euer
to
recouer
the
same
againe
.
And
bée●…hinking
my selfe
vnto
what
king
or
Emperor
I
were
best
●…o
goe
to
procure
succour
,
I
could
not
imagine
any
place
wherein
so
short
time
I
might
accomplish
my
desire
,
as
to
●…éeke
out
that
valyaunt
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
whose
fame
is
●…o
much
spread
abroad
throughout
all
Asia
,
after
the
great
●…arres
of
Persia
,
so
that
the
great
confidence
which
I
haue
〈◊〉
him
hath
brought
mée
into
this
Countrie
,
and
I
am
ful●…y
perswaded
that
if
I
dooe
carrie
him
in
my
companie
to
●…idia
,
that
hée
alone
is
sufficient
for
to
raise
the
siege
from
●…he
Citie
,
for
that
all
the
force
and
strength
of
that
warre
●…nd
great
power
,
dooth
consist
in
the
death
of
the
king
of
Arcadia
,
and
if
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
doo
giue
vnto
●…im
the
death
,
it
is
sufficient
to
conclude
and
end
the
wars
,
●…r
when
all
the
rest
of
his
armie
shall
finde
themselues
●…ithout
their
king
and
Lord
,
they
will
returne
agayne
in●…
theyr
owne
Countrie
.
And
that
which
now
doeth
most
grieue
mée
(
gentle
Knight
)
is
,
that
it
is
now
fortie
dayes
since
my
departure
out
of
Lydia
,
and
by
reason
of
a
great
storme
and
foule
weather
which
happenyd
vnto
vs
at
the
Sea
,
wée
could
not
ariue
héere
in
this
Countrie
any
sooner
.
So
that
there
resteth
vnto
mée
no
more
but
twentie
daies
of
the
time
that
I
set
with
my
Knights
for
to
returne
,
who
cannot
by
any
meanes
doo
otherwise
after
that
time
be
expired
,
but
to
yéeld
vp
the
Citie
,
for
they
haue
no
victualle●…
for
any
longer
time
,
and
although
at
that
instaunt
I
〈◊〉
finde
out
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
yet
shall
wée
haue
inoug●…
to
doo
to
come
thether
in
time
.
So
gentle
knight
,
this
is
al●…
that
I
can
aduertise
you
of
,
that
you
haue
saked
and
demaunded
of
mée
,
therefore
I
pray
you
now
to
tel
mée
whe●…
I
may
finde
this
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
for
that
accordin●…
vnto
the
great
excellencie
and
vertue
which
is
spoken
〈◊〉
him
throughout
all
the
world
,
I
béeléeue
that
there
will
b●…
nothing
to
the
contrarie
to
disturbe
him
,
but
that
hée
〈◊〉
haue
pittie
and
compassyon
vppon
mée
,
for
that
God
〈◊〉
not
created
a
knight
of
so
great
estimation
,
but
onely
to
〈◊〉
mend
such
great
wrongs
done
in
this
world
.
When
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
had
vnderst●…
the
demaund
of
the
King
Lyeso
,
in
all
his
life
hée
dyd
〈◊〉
finde
himselfe
in
so
great
confusion
and
trouble
,
for
that
〈◊〉
the
one
part
the
demaund
which
hee
made
against
Rod●…ran
,
and
the
imprisonment
of
his
great
friends
dyd
cau●…
and
binde
him
not
to
leaue
off
his
enterprise
béegun
,
and
〈◊〉
the
other
part
the
great
and
extreame
necessitie
of
〈◊〉
King
and
of
that
sorrowfull
quéene
,
who
in
the
meane
ti●…
that
the
King
dyd
declare
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
〈◊〉
you
haue
heard
,
did
wéepe
verie
pitteouslie
,
the
which
〈◊〉ued
him
vnto
great
pittie
,
in
such
sort
,
that
for
any
thi●…
as
hée
thought
,
hée
could
with
no
reason
leaue
hir
,
but
g●…
them
suc●…our
and
help
,
and
séeing
that
the
time
was
short
that
the
King
Lyseo
should
returne
vnto
the
Citie
Lidia
,
it
séemed
vnto
him
a
thing
impossible
,
first
to
conclu●…
the
demaund
of
the
Pagan
Rodaran
,
the
which
hée
det●…mined
,
and
afterward
to
giue
them
aide
and
succour
,
wh●…
was
the
occasion
that
hée
was
in
great
doubt
,
and
for
a
good
space
hée
could
not
speake
one
woord
,
till
such
time
as
the
king
asked
him
wherfore
hée
did
not
answere
him
.
Whereto
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
answered
and
sayd
:
Mightie
King
and
Lord
,
doo
not
you
muse
nor
meruayle
that
vntill
this
time
I
haue
not
aunswered
you
,
for
that
at
this
instant
hath
happened
vnto
mée
two
things
of
great
importaunce
,
and
if
I
leaue
eyther
of
them
vndone
,
it
will
bée
vnto
mee
as
grieuos
as
death
.
The
one
of
them
is
,
that
Rodaran
king
of
Arabia
is
at
the
bridge
of
Iaspe
,
which
is
●…n
the
confines
of
this
Empire
of
Greece
,
and
I
am
going
●…hether
to
combat
with
him
,
for
that
he
hath
prisoner
a
bro●…her
of
mine
,
and
many
other
Knights
of
the
Emperour
Trebatios
court
.
And
the
other
is
your
demaund
and
great
●…ecessitie
,
the
which
doth
grieue
mée
as
much
as
though
it
●…ere
vnto
my selfe
,
béecase
you
shall
vnderstand
that
I
am
●…he
knight
of
the
Sunne
whom
you
doo
come
to
séeke
,
and
●…lthough
there
bée
not
in
mée
that
bountie
which
you
haue
●…oken
of
,
yet
there
shall
not
lack
good
wil
for
to
put
my
life
〈◊〉
aduenture
in
your
seruice
.
And
because
this
my
demaund
〈◊〉
Rodaran
hath
chaunced
at
this
instant
,
and
lik●…wise
your
●…reat
necessitie
,
which
dooth
not
requyre
any
delay
,
hath
〈◊〉
the
occasion
that
I
am
thus
troubled
,
and
in
this
great
〈◊〉
,
for
that
I
cannot
accomplish
them
both
according
〈◊〉
my
desire
,
but
now
séeing
it
is
so
fallen
out
,
and
that
〈◊〉
in
the
confidence
the
which
you
haue
had
in
mée
,
you
〈◊〉
left
to
seeke
and
procure
aide
and
succour
in
other
pla●…
.
And
now
the
time
is
very
short
,
and
you
cannot
other●…ise
procure
for
your selues
,
hap
what
hap
shall
,
and
come
●…hat
shall
come
,
I
am
determined
to
goe
out
of
hand
with
〈◊〉
.
And
in
the
meane
time
that
wée
shall
with
the
fauour
〈◊〉
God
cléere
our selues
,
and
set
our selues
at
libertie
from
〈◊〉
war
,
I
doo
béeléeue
that
Rodaran
will
not
depart
out
of
〈◊〉
,
for
that
in
the
Court
of
the
Emperour
there
doo
re●…
many
valiaunt
knights
,
with
whom
hée
will
haue
i●…
to
doo
beefore
hée
canne
ouercome
them
all
.
But
when
the
king
Liseo
vnderstood
that
hée
was
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
with
what
determination
hée
dyd
offer
himselfe
in
their
aide
and
succour
,
in
all
his
life
hée
did
not
receiue
greater
ioye
and
pleasure
,
and
went
vnto
him
and
embraced
him
,
saying
:
Great
and
infinit
thankes
dooe
I
giue
vnto
my
Lord
God
,
for
that
it
hath
pleased
him
to
let
mée
sée
so
high
and
worthie
a
Knight
,
and
I
may
well
perswade
my selfe
,
that
you
béeing
a
knight
of
so
strange
and
gentle
disposition
,
can
bée
no
other
,
but
hée
whose
fame
is
in
all
the
world
,
and
not
a
little
amazed
at
your
straunge
and
excelle●…t
bountie
.
And
now
séeing
that
it
is
my
fortune
to
come
into
this
great
extremitie
,
and
that
you
of
necessiti●…
must
make
an
ende
of
this
your
pretend●…d
enterprise
,
God
forbid
that
euer
you
should
leaue
this
your
determined
pretence
for
to
accomhlish
my
neces●…itie
▪
it
were
much
better
that
I
loose
my
whole
Kingdome
,
then
to
hazard
the
liue●…
of
so
precious
and
valyaunt
knights
.
Therefore
I
will
returne
againe
into
Lidia
,
and
procure
to
bée
with
my
knight●…
beefore
my
time
bée
expired
,
and
there
offer
my selfe
vnto
death
with
them
,
for
to
accomplish
&
performe
that
which
I
haue
promised
.
Then
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
who
wa●…
wholie
determined
to
goe
with
the
King
sayde
.
I
am
fullie
determined
to
accomplish
all
that
which
I
haue
sayde
▪
and
if
it
bée
so
that
you
are
not
content
therewith
,
héere
〈◊〉
dooe
sweare
vnto
you
by
the
order
of
Knighthood
,
that
〈◊〉
am
purposed
to
goe
thether
all
alone
,
for
that
your
necess●…
tie
dooth
not
requyre
anie
delay
.
And
for
this
my
demau●…
which
I
haue
beegunne
,
I
shall
haue
time
inough
,
for
th●…
Rodaran
cannot
depart
towards
any
place
,
but
I
shall
find
him
to
execute
my
fury
on
him
.
And
likewise
there
〈◊〉
remayne
in
Greece
many
valyaunt
Knights
,
who
will
〈◊〉
taine
him
for
the
time
,
and
I
am
very
sure
that
it
was
〈◊〉
possible
for
him
to
apprehend
those
knights
whom
hée
〈◊〉
prisoners
in
his
power
,
except
it
were
by
some
treason●…
falsehood
.
At
which
time
the
King
Lyseo
would
with
a
verie
〈◊〉
will
haue
stayed
with
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
from
〈◊〉
determined
pretence
,
all
onely
for
that
he
would
not
that
he
should
haue
left
his
first
demaund
,
but
by
any
meanes
hée
would
not
be
perswaded
thervnto
,
so
that
in
the
best
waies
he
could
,
he
did
gratifie
his
great
courtesie
&
good
will
offered
vnto
him
,
still
perswading
to
the
contrary
in
saying
,
that
it
were
better
that
he
should
perish
,
then
so
many
noble
knights
.
But
all
was
spoken
in
vaine
and
nothing
would
serue
,
for
that
the
knight
of
the
Sun
would
depart
with
them
in
their
company
,
&
leaue
of
his
first
&
owne
demaund
.
So
strayght
way
without
any
longer
tarrying
,
in
company
with
the
king
&
quéene
,
they
toke
their
ieurney
towards
Lidia
:
&
the
king
said
vnto
the
quéene
,
that
he
was
the
most
vertuous
knight
that
euer
he
saw
in
all
the
world
,
&
how
that
the
great
fame
that
went
of
him
,
was
with
●…ust
reason
.
So
in
this
sort
th●…y
trauailed
till
they
came
vnto
a
little
castell
,
wher
as
they
determined
to
●…ary
,
for
that
the
night
was
come
vpon
them
:
and
there
resting
themselues
,
very
earely
in
the
morning
they
arose
&
did
prosecute
their
iourney
.
And
they
had
not
●…rauailed
long
when
that
out
of
the
same
castell
,
they
saw
●…ome
forth
sixe
armed
knights
,
who
likewise
soiourned
ther
,
●…ll
that
night
:
&
following
them
,
they
did
ouertake
them
〈◊〉
the
entry
of
a
great
vally
,
&
when
they
drew
ni●…h
,
one
of
●…he
knights
said
.
Sir
knights
you
vnderstand
,
that
your
horse
〈◊〉
armour
doth
giue
great
contentment
vnto
these
my
com●…
,
&
I
for
my
part
,
doth
all
onely
desire
this
Lady
,
for
〈◊〉
she
seemeth
to
be
very
faire
,
&
to
be
of
high
estate
,
ther●…
,
out
of
hand
it
doth
accomplish
you
,
to
leaue
them
,
except
〈◊〉
will
dye
in
our
hands
.
Then
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
who
〈◊〉
the
first
was
with
them
very
méeke
&
sufferable
,
&
with
〈◊〉
dissimulation
he
said
:
Sir
knight
,
if
we
doe
giue
and
〈◊〉
vnto
you
our
armour
,
&
our
horse
,
will
you
not
be
●…ntent
to
leaue
with
vs
this
Lady
.
No
of
truth
,
sayde
the
〈◊〉
,
for
that
I
●…ad
rather
lye
and
take
my
ease
with
hir
〈◊〉
night
,
then
to
haue
all
the
horse
and
armour
that
is
in
〈◊〉
the
world
.
Then
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
who
could
no
longer
suffer
so
great
villany
nor
outrage
to
passe
before
the
presence
of
the
king
,
&
finding
himselfe
very
nigh
vnto
the
knight
,
he
lift
vp
his
fist
&
stroke
him
with
his
armed
hand
,
such
a
blow
vpon
the
helme
,
that
he
buckled
it
vnto
the
skull
in
such
sort
that
he
broke
it
all
to
peeces
,
&
he
fell
from
his
horse
dead
to
the
ground
.
The
rest
of
the
knights
his
compa●…ions
,
when
they
saw
th●…t
terrible
blow
,
they
were
very
much
amazed
,
for
that
neuer
in
all
their
liues
they
saw
the
like
done
,
and
with
s●…
great
strength
,
&
wished
that
they
had
not
put
themselues
in
that
demaund
and
enterprise
.
But
yet
〈◊〉
themselues
,
for
that
they
were
many
,
they
drew
forth
their
swords
and
w●…nt
against
him
,
&
did
assau●…t
him
,
with
mighty
&
terrible
blowes
.
Yet
●…or
all
that
the
knight
of
the
Sun
made
litle
accompt
of
them
,
&
would
not
dr●…w
his
swoord
,
but
stroke
a●…
other
of
them
such
a
terrible
blow
with
his
armed
fist
,
that
likewise
he
ouerthrew
him
from
his
horse
dead
to
the
ground
,
&
said
,
god
forbide
that
I
should
drawout
my
swoord
to
defile
it
vpon
so
vile
people
as
these
be
,
that
without
all
shame
doth
demaund
our
〈◊〉
&
armour
,
&
yet
not
content
,
bu●…
〈◊〉
so
would
ha●…e
th●…
queene
for
to
defile
hir
.
Then
the
king
Liseo
,
who
was
one
of
the
〈◊〉
knights
in
the
world
,
being
very
much
amazed
,
at
the
great
bounty
&
strength
of
th●…
knight
of
the
Sun
could
no
longer
forbeare
himselfe
,
but
〈◊〉
his
sword
drawen
in
his
ha●…d
,
he
assaulted
the
knights
▪
tha●…
remained
.
And
the
first
that
hee
mette
with
all
,
hée
cut
of
〈◊〉
arme
,
&
with
a
trise
,
he
stroke
at
another
&
wounded
him
〈◊〉ry
fore
,
&
ouer
threw
him
from
his
horse
to
the
ground
.
An●…
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
at
that
time
stroke
an
other
with
〈◊〉
armed
fi●…t
,
that
he
all
to
be
brused
his
helme
&
skull
,
&
oue●…
threw
him
dead
to
the
ground
,
so
that
ther
remained
of
〈◊〉
sixe
,
but
one
aliue
,
and
seeing
himselfe
all
alone
,
thought
no
〈◊〉
to
tary
,
but
set
spurs
vnto
his
horse
,
and
ran
〈◊〉
with
all
the
hast
he
could
.
●…o
that
these
two
valiant
knights
remayned
all
〈◊〉
with
great
content
to
see
themselues
cléere
of
those
discourteous
knights
,
as
als●…
to
see
the
pro●…e
of
the
great
valiantnes
of
either
of
them
,
&
so
they
returned
onwards
on
their
iourney
,
&
had
great
pleasure
&
pastime
,
at
the
demaund
of
those
vncourteous
knightes
they
trauailed
till
such
time
as
they
came
vnto
the
sea
coast
,
&
vnto
the
pa●…t
wheras
they
found
the
ship
out
of
the
which
the
king
&
quéene
had
disembarked
themselues
:
into
the
which
they
entred
,
&
found
the
winde
very
prosperous
and
so
great
,
that
within
thrée
daies
after
their
departure
,
they
ariued
at
a
port
or
hauen
of
Asia
,
wher
as
they
went
a
land
,
&
to●…e
their
way
towardes
Lidia
,
alwaies
trauailing
in
great
hast
for
that
they
would
come
to
the
citie
,
at
the
time
that
the
king
Liseo
,
had
appointed
and
promised
vnto
the
knights
,
but
yet
for
all
the
hast
that
euer
they
could
make
,
their
time
was
accomplished
,
&
ouer
and
aboue
,
more
then
ten
daies
,
at
the
end
of
the
which
,
one
day
in
the
after
noone
,
at
such
time
as
night
drew
on
,
they
had
sight
of
their
enemies
,
who
had
th●…ir
camp
still
pitched
&
compassed
round
about
the
citie
.
And
that
day
they
assalted
the
citie
,
&
made
a
meruaileus
great
skirmish
in
such
sort
that
they
lacked
very
litle
to
e●…ter
into
the
citie
,
&
the
most
part
of
the
knights
that
made
their
defence
,
were
slaine
:
who
did
defend
the
citie
with
great
force
,
and
like
good
and
loyall
vassalle
,
alwaies
determined
first
to
dye
the
death
,
then
for
〈◊〉
vp
the
citie
.
Although
they
were
all
that
remained
so
weake
and
so
feeble
,
that
if
they
had
returned
to
giue
a
new
●…sault
,
by
reason
of
their
great
wearinesse
,
&
wounds
,
they
must
néedes
haue
yéelded
vnto
the
death
&
were
all
very
much
amazed
,
that
the
king
Liseo
,
was
not
returned
againe
according
vnto
his
promis●…
,
for
that
they
had
him
in
estimation
for
one
of
the
best
knightes
that
was
in
all
those
parts
,
&
they
feared
very
much
least
some
ill
fortune
or
mis●…
should
haue
happened
vnto
him
.
So
when
these
two
Knightes
came
within
the
sight
of
the
campe
wher
their
enemies
w●…re
,
the
king
Liseo
said
,
my
very
friend
and
Lord
,
what
doe
you
think
is
best
for
vs
to
do
,
for
to
enter
into
the
citie
,
that
we
may
giue
some
comfort
vnto
those
sorrowfull
and
afflieted
knights
.
You
doe
best
know
worthy
king
,
what
is
best
to
be
done
in
this
case
,
said
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
therfore
if
it
wer
possible
before
that
I
doe
enter
,
I
would
very
faine
know
how
far
the
force
and
strength
of
these
knights
doth
extend
:
therefore
if
it
please
you
,
to
take
the
queene
behind
you
vpon
your
horse
,
and
procure
in
all
that
euer
you
may
,
for
to
get
vnto
the
gates
of
the
citie
,
&
cause
your
Knights
to
kéepe
the
gates
open
,
for
that
I
will
bee
ther
very
quickly
.
Doe
all
things
according
vnto
your
pleasure
said
the
king
,
&
I
pray
God
to
giue
vnto
you
such
victory
,
that
our
enemies
might
vnderstand
&
know
,
that
as
yet
the
king
Liseo
,
is
neither
dead
,
nor
ouercome
.
So
when
the
night
waxed
dark
,
the
king
in
the
best
maner
hee
could
,
he
toke
the
q●…eene
behind
him
on
his
horse
,
&
embrased
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
shedding
many
teares
,
he
toke
his
leaue
with
the
queene
,
&
departed
by
a
narrow
lane
,
which
he
knew
very
well
,
&
went
towards
the
citie
:
&
although
he
met
by
the
way
with
diuers
,
yet
for
all
that
,
hauing
no
feare
by
reason
that
he
spake
the
language
very
well
,
they
made
litle
reckoning
of
him
,
&
did
not
mistrust
that
he
should
be
any
of
their
enemies
.
Then
the
knight
of
the
Sun
when
he
supposed
that
the
king
had
passed
the
campe
,
he
toke
his
speare
in
his
hand
,
&
dre●…
nigh
vnto
his
enemies
:
&
when
he
saw
them
,
that
they
were
with
out
watch
,
or
care
of
any
euill
that
might
●…appen
vnto
them
,
●…e
committed
himselfe
vnto
God
,
&
put
himselfe
amongst
his
enemies
:
&
with
his
speare
he
began
to
kill
&
to
destroy
so
many
of
the
knights
&
other
souldiers
,
that
his
great
force
&
strength
was
quickly
knowen
,
by
the
number
th●…t
lay
dead
in
the
field
.
For
that
in
a
short
space
,
he
had
flame
more
then
fiftie
of
them
,
at
the
nois●…
of
whom
with
a
tri●…e
all
the
whole
camp
was
in
an
vpro●…
and
cried
vnto
armour
.
And
after
that
this
valiant
knight
had
broken
his
〈◊〉
,
with
his
swoord
in
his
hands
he
pressed
still
forwardes
amongst
them
,
in
such
sort
,
that
he
seemed
to
be
some
infernal
creature
.
And
without
finding
any
great
resistaunce
he
approched
vnto
the
tents
that
were
in
the
field
,
which
were
very
many
&
rich
,
wheras
he
found
in
them
very
many
that
seemed
to
be
valiant
Knights
,
who
at
the
noyse
&
vpr●…are
of
the
souldiers
wer
all
armed
,
&
in
their
company
many
great
and
deformed
giants
,
that
séemed
to
be
great
towers
,
who
when
they
saw
all
the
people
run
away
,
&
saw
not
their
enemies
follow
them
,
being
greatly
amazed
therat
,
they
stood
still
&
knew
not
which
way
to
depart
,
but
when
the
valiant
knights
drew
nigh
vnto
them
,
the
first
knight
that
he
met
withall
,
he
stroke
him
such
a
blow
vpon
his
helme
,
that
cléeuing
it
&
his
head
downe
vnto
the
breast
,
he
ouerthrew
him
dead
to
the
ground
▪
&
turning
himselfe
about
,
he
stroke
another
vpon
the
wast
,
that
he
cut
him
a
sunder
in
the
midst
,
&
ouerthrew
him
from
his
horse
likewise
dead
to
the
ground
,
which
made
all
the
knights
that
wer
ther
not
a
litle
to
meruaile
,
&
for
that
this
valiant
&
worthy
knight
would
not
at
that
time
tary
any
longer
,
he
set
spurs
vnto
his
furious
horse
&
passed
through
the
camp
with
so
great
fury
that
ther
was
not
one
knight
that
could
get
before
him
,
&
being
seene
by
one
of
the
most
valiantest
giants
amongst
the
rest
,
with
a
great
mase
in
his
hand
he
followed
him
,
pretending
to
strike
him
with
the
same
.
The
knight
of
the
Sun
perceiuing
it
,
tourned
about
with
his
horse
,
&
before
that
the
giant
could
execute
his
mighty
blow
with
his
mase
,
he
stroke
him
so
terrible
a
blow
vpon
the
wast
,
that
his
sharp
cutting
sword
entred
into
his
bowels
,
that
he
fell
down
from
his
horse
dead
to
the
ground
,
and
then
without
any
stayin●…
he
put
himselfe
in
the
middest
of
the
whole
campe
and
made
so
great
a
spoile
amongst
his
enemies
,
that
hée
whom
hee
found
in
his
way
might
well
thinke
himselfe
vnhappy
.
So
that
they
all
fledde
and
ran
beefore
him
,
as
from
some
infernall
creature
,
that
according
vnto
the
great
destruction
that
he
made
amongest
them
,
they
thought
him
to
be
no
other
.
In
this
sort
this
valiant
knight
went
throughout
the
whole
camp
,
without
finding
one
that
was
so
hardy
to
disturbe
him
,
&
slew
with
his
own
hands
more
they
two
hundreth
knights
,
&
being
all
embrued
in
blood
,
he
came
vnto
the
gates
of
the
citie
,
wheras
he
found
the
king
Liseo
,
who
being
knowen
by
his
knights
&
subiects
,
did
open
the
gates
,
&
did
abide
his
comming
.
And
when
they
saw
the
knight
of
the
Sun
to
come
,
all
to
be
raied
with
blood
,
the
knig
straight
waies
did
imagine
what
had
passed
with
him
&
embraced
him
saying
:
Oh
my
good
&
perfect
friend
now
I
am
fully
perswaded
that
it
hath
pleased
god
to
give
mée
full
remedy
,
&
set
at
liberty
all
my
kingdome
,
onely
in
that
I
haue
your
valiant
person
héere
with
me
.
At
this
time
the
most
principallest
of
all
the
knights
of
the
citie
came
vnto
them
,
&
with
great
contentment
&
ioy
to
sée
their
Lord
and
king
they
entred
into
the
citie
,
&
commanded
the
gates
to
be
shut
very
strongly
,
&
excéeding
good
watch
&
ward
to
bée
kept
,
&
they
altogether
went
vnto
the
pallace
,
wheras
they
were
of
the
quéene
meruailously
well
receiued
&
entertained
and
did
vnarme
the
knight
of
the
Sun
with
hir
own
hands
,
and
there
they
did
repose
&
rest
themselues
that
night
,
not
without
great
care
&
complaints
vnto
their
king
,
to
see
themselues
in
such
great
affliction
,
&
almost
all
the
people
in
their
Country
lost
.
Likewise
also
was
the
valiant
knight
of
the
Sun
sore
troubled
with
his
amorous
thoughts
of
the
faire
princes
Lindabrides
,
and
of
the
princesse
Claridiana
,
which
thoughts
were
more
troublesome
vnto
him
then
the
furious
battaile
which
he
should
haue
with
his
enemies
the
next
day
following
.
But
when
he
remembred
his
brother
,
and
the
rest
of
his
friends
that
were
prisoners
with
Rodaran
,
he
receiued
so
great
sorrow
&
griefe
,
that
he
thought
long
till
the
day
was
come
,
&
had
a
good
trust
and
confidence
in
God
,
that
very
shortly
he
should
sée
himself
cléere
from
his
enemies
,
&
for
to
haue
time
to
returne
vnto
the
bridge
of
the
iaspe
,
&
to
conclude
his
pretence
to
combat
with
Rodaran
.
Likewise
at
this
time
all
those
that
were
in
the
campe
of
the
king
of
Arcadia
,
did
not
take
their
rest
in
perfect
quietnesse
,
but
when
they
remembred
that
which
dyd
passe
with
the
beginning
of
the
night
,
they
all
trembled
with
theyr
great
feare
which
they
receiued
of
that
worthy
&
valiaunt
knight
.
And
when
they
had
made
relation
of
all
that
had
hapned
vnto
the
king
of
Arcadia
,
he
began
to
blaspheme
against
his
gods
,
for
that
it
was
not
his
fortune
to
méet
with
him
,
&
they
were
all
amazed
,
because
they
could
not
vnderstand
&
know
who
that
valiant
Knight
should
bée
.
And
againe
they
were
fully
perswaded
that
it
could
not
be
the
king
Liseo
,
for
that
he
was
not
a
knight
of
so
great
valour
,
for
to
make
such
destruction
amongst
them
,
for
that
they
had
combatted
with
him
diuers
&
sundry
times
▪
&
likewyse
others
had
ben
so
ventrous
as
to
enter
into
their
camp
,
but
neuer
did
shew
so
great
force
,
&
the
King
being
very
desirous
to
know
who
he
should
be
&
to
sée
him
,
he
passed
away
all
that
night
with
much
more
care
then
any
of
the
rest
.
How
the
Knight
of
the

THe
next
day
very
earlye
in
the
morning
,
the
good
king
Lyseo
and
the
valiant
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
after
that
they
had
committed
themselues
to
God
and
broken
theyr
fastes
,
they
armed
themselues
with
theyr
strong
and
rich
armour
,
and
went
out
into
the
great
court
of
the
Pallaice
,
whereas
were
ioyned
together
before
the
king
all
the
knights
of
the
citie
,
who
did
exhort
them
to
be
valiant
,
&
to
put
their
liues
in
aduenture
fighting
,
seeing
that
the
goodnesse
of
God
had
brought
him
back
againe
,
&
in
his
company
so
valiant
&
worthy
a
knight
,
who
did
offer
themselues
vnto
death
in
whatsoeuer
it
pleased
the
king
to
command
them
.
The
king
gaue
them
great
thanks
for
their
great
loyaltie
,
&
did
animate
their
couragious
harts
in
the
best
wise
he
could
,
saying
:
My
good
friends
and
loyall
subiects
,
I
haue
alwaies
had
before
mine
eies
the
great
loue
which
you
do
beare
me
,
&
now
you
doe
shew
it
more
amply
,
that
you
haue
kept
&
defended
this
my
citie
,
in
the
time
that
I
haue
ben
from
you
in
procuring
this
aid
&
succour
,
God
for
his
infinit
goodnesse
&
mercy
sake
graunt
vs
victory
ouer
our
enemies
,
that
I
may
haue
opportunitie
to
gratifie
you
for
this
your
great
loyalty
&
trauaile
.
And
I
haue
good
hope
in
my
Lord
Iesus
Christ
that
it
will
so
fall
out
,
onely
for
that
I
haue
this
happy
&
worthy
knight
in
my
company
,
whose
fame
doth
sound
throughout
all
the
whole
world
,
&
all
you
together
ought
to
haue
him
in
greater
estimacion
then
if
I
had
brought
a
meruallous
huge
&
mighty
army
of
knights
.
And
in
saying
these
words
,
he
commanded
to
number
the
people
that
were
in
the
citie
,
&
they
found
that
ther
was
to
the
number
of
one
thousand
of
very
good
knights
&
valiant
,
&
two
thousand
other
,
that
might
wel
beare
armour
,
&
turning
towards
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
hé●…
said
.
Ualiant
&
worthy
knight
,
&
my
very
friend
,
your
pleasure
is
to
command
what
is
best
to
be
done
,
for
all
we
will
obey
you
as
our
principall
captaine
and
defender
.
Then
the
knight
of
the
Sun
humbling
himselfe
very
much
said
.
Worthie
King
,
I
am
not
come
hether
into
this
Country
,
but
to
serue
you
with
my
person
,
therefore
I
pray
you
commaund
what
wée
shall
doe
,
for
I
purpose
to
bée
the
first
that
shall
obey
it
,
and
for
my
part
I
giue
you
to
vnderstand
that
forasmuch
as
all
these
your
knights
are
very
weary●…
of
the
battayles
past
,
I
my selfe
alone
this
day
will
goe
foorth
into
the
camp
,
and
there
to
procure
all
that
is
in
my
power
agaynst
your
enimies
,
for
that
principally
with
the
fauour
of
almightie
God
I
will
doo
so
much
,
that
they
shall
receiue
damage
and
griefe
.
But
when
the
King
Lyseo
and
all
his
Knights
heard
those
woords
,
they
meruayled
greatlie
at
the
mightie
stomake
and
courage
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
with
great
admiration
did
bée●…olde
him
,
and
it
dyd
seeme
vnto
them
a
thing
impossible
that
in
a
Knight
of
so
few
yéeres
should
remaine
so
great
force
and
strength
,
that
hée
alone
should
offer
to
put
himselfe
into
the
●…field
against
more
then
twentie
thousand
Knights
,
and
as
many
more
souldiers
that
were
in
the
camp
of
the
King
of
Arcadia
,
whereas
was
amongst
them
the
brauest
Knights
and
Gyants
that
were
in
the
Pagan
Countrie
.
Then
the
good
king
Lyseo
who
could
not
by
any
meanes
abide
to
remaine
in
the
Cittie
,
sayde
,
that
hée
might
doo
all
that
his
pleasure
was
to
commaund
,
but
hée
would
not
in
any
manner
of
wise
remaine
béehinde
in
the
Citie
,
but
that
hee
would
also
goe
out
in
his
companie
.
Then
doo
what
your
pleasure
is
my
Lord
,
sayde
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
for
hauing
you
in
my
companie
,
I
will
not
feare
all
these
our
enimies
.
And
so
contrarie
vnto
the
wills
of
all
the
other
Knights
,
they
prepared
for
to
go
forth
they
two
alone
together
,
and
before
the
time
that
the
Sunne
had
mounted
to
mid
day
,
these
two
valiant
&
worthie
warriours
béeing
armed
with
theyr
strong
and
rich
armour
,
and
mounted
vpon
theyr
mightie
and
furious
courses
,
they
commaunded
the
gates
of
the
Citie
to
bée
opened
,
and
at
such
time
as
the
Quéene
and
all
the
rest
of
the
Ladies
,
Knights
,
and
people
were
vpon
the
tow●…rs
and
battlements
of
the
Cit●…ie
for
to
béehoulde
all
that
should
passe
,
they
went
foorth
of
the
Citie
,
and
when
they
●…ad
passed
a
mightie
long
&
broade
bridge
which
was
nigh
●…nto
the
walls
,
vnder
the
which
ranne
a
great
and
déepe
●…ater
,
and
putting
themselues
a
little
out
of
the
way
for
●…o
view
the
Camp
,
whereas
they
remained
a
while
,
and
bée●…ors
they
entered
into
the
armie
,
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
tooke
from
his
neck
a
very
fayre
and
rich
Bugle
,
and
blew
it
with
so
great
strength
,
that
it
made
all
the
hearers
therof
in
the
campe
for
to
tremble
.
And
béeing
discouered
by
theyr
enimies
,
the
King
of
Arcadia
dyd
strayght
wayes
vnderstand
that
it
should
bée
the
Knight
that
so
troubled
them
the
night
past
,
and
therewith
commaunded
that
the
best
of
all
his
Knights
should
bée
armed
,
and
that
they
should
goe
foorth
for
to
know
what
was
their
demaund
.
The
first
amongst
all
those
Knights
that
went
foorth
,
was
Brother
vnto
the
King
,
called
Momfriero
,
a
valiant
Knight
and
stout
of
his
person
,
and
worthie
in
feates
of
armes
,
and
such
a
one
,
that
in
all
the
Pagan
Countrie
there
was
found
verie
few
,
so
gallant
and
so
liuelie
in
any
kinde
of
exercise
,
and
meruailous
presumptious
,
who
béeing
mounted
vppon
a
great
and
furious
courser
whet
out
of
the
camp
,
and
with
great
threatnings
and
oaths
hée
swore
that
with
the
first
encounter
that
hee
should
make
with
his
speare
,
for
to
bring
him
prisoner
vnto
the
King
.
When
hée
came
vnto
the
place
whereas
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
was
,
with
great
pride
and
arrogancie
hée
sayde
.
Tell
mée
thou
simple
and
captiue
Knight
,
what
great
boldnesse
and
folly
is
this
of
thine
,
that
thou
béeing
but
one
alone
,
darest
for
to
sound
thy
horne
against
so
great
an
armie
as
this
is
,
wheras
ther
be
knights
sufficient
for
to
conquer
the
whole
world
,
and
héere
I
dooe
sweare
vnto
thee
by
the
high
Gods
,
that
beefore
it
bée
long
I
will
giue
thée
thy
reward
for
this
thy
great
follie
,
béecause
thou
shalt
not
aduaunce
thy selfe
héere
after
,
how
that
before
Momfriero
thou
diddest
this
or
that
.
And
in
saying
those
woords
hée
drew
nigh
vnto
him
,
reseruing
that
which
was
requisit
for
the
course
of
his
horse
,
and
with
his
speare
in
his
hand
he
came
against
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
;
who
wished
▪
and
desired
no
other
thing
,
and
with
the
force
of
his
horse
Cornerino
hée
made
against
him
,
and
although
the
course
was
very
long
,
yet
with
a
trice
they
met
together
with
so
great
fury
,
that
the
earth
seemed
to
tremble
vnder
them
,
they
made
theyr
encounter
in
such
sort
,
that
the
valiant
pagan
shéeuered
his
great
Speare
all
in
small
shéeuers
,
but
at
such
time
as
hée
thought
all
had
béene
finished
,
hée
found
himselfe
from
his
Horse
vppon
the
ground
by
the
great
encounter
of
his
enemy
▪
in
such
sort
,
that
hée
was
constrained
to
leaue
his
saddle
,
and
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
passed
forwards
as
though
hée
had
done
nothing
at
all
,
and
this
valiaunt
Pagan
was
not
so
soone
ouerthrowen
,
but
presently
hée
arose
vp
againe
,
and
drew
out
his
swoord
,
thinking
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
would
haue
returned
againe
vpon
him
,
but
hée
making
litle
account
of
him
,
did
blow
his
horne
againe
.
Then
the
king
of
Arcadia
,
who
from
his
Tent
did
béeholde
all
that
passed
,
béeing
greatly
amazed
to
sée
his
brother
ouerthrowen
,
sent
another
knight
called
Rufier
,
who
was
a
great
Lord
in
Arcadia
,
and
one
of
the
most
brauest
that
hée
had
in
all
the
camp
,
who
being
mounted
on
a
mighty
courser
went
out
of
the
camp
,
with
so
great
pride
&
arrogancie
,
that
hée
thought
verely
to
reuenge
the
iniurie
done
vnto
Momfriero
,
but
his
expectation
fell
out
cleane
contrarie
,
for
when
hée
came
to
make
his
encounter
with
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
hée
gaue
him
such
a
blow
with
his
speare
,
that
he
pearced
him
quite
through
,
that
hée
ouerthrew
him
dead
vnto
the
ground
,
and
breaking
his
speare
therewith
,
hée
drew
out
his
great
and
sharp
cutting
swoord
,
and
in
his
companie
the
King
Lyseo
,
they
put
themselues
into
the
presse
of
the
Campe
whereas
they
made
great
slaughter
,
killing
and
ouerthrowing
as
though
they
had
béen
all
naked
without
armour
:
Oh
how
ioyfull
were
all
those
of
the
Citie
,
when
they
saw
the
great
meruailes
of
their
Captaines
,
and
theyr
great
bountie
and
surmounted
strength
,
and
to
the
contrarie
how
the
King
of
Arcadia
was
amazed
when
that
hée
saw
two
alone
knights
for
to
doo
so
great
murther
and
destruction
in
his
mightie
and
puissant
armie
,
and
sayde
with
himselfe
,
that
if
all
the
world
should
haue
tould
him
the
lyke
,
hée
could
not
haue
béeléeued
it
,
except
hée
had
séene
it
with
his
owne
eyes
,
and
for
that
hée
would
sée
more
of
theyr
wonderfull
déedes
,
hée
dyd
not
procure
to
arme
himselfe
,
neither
would
hée
mooue
from
the
place
whereas
hée
was
▪
but
stoode
still
béeholding
the
two
valiant
knights
how
they
dyd
beehaue
themselues
amongest
their
enimies
,
who
without
finding
anie
thing
that
dyd
disturbe
them
in
theyr
way●…
,
they
went
throughout
the
whole
armie
,
killing
and
wounding
all
that
they
met
withall
,
in
such
sort
that
they
were
all
to
bee
ra●…ed
with
blood
,
and
the
field
lay
full
of
dead
bodies
,
and
whereas
it
was
beefore
all
dust
,
it
was
now
turned
into
durt
.
At
this
time
was
well
perceiued
the
mighti
and
valyaunt
courage
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
who
was
so
furious
and
fierce
in
his
battaile
,
that
whereas
the
King
Lyseo
did
kill
or
wound
one
,
hee
for
his
part
did
kill
foure
,
so
that
they
slew
béetwixt
them
that
day
more
then
three
hundreth
Knights
,
and
in
the
ende
there
went
foorth
to
make
resistance
against
them
two
great
and
stout
Gyants
,
and
with
their
mightie
mases
in
their
hands
,
they
went
towards
the
place
whereas
the
Knights
were
.
Then
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
béecause
they
should
not
take
so
great
paines
as
to
come
vnto
them
whereas
they
were
,
but
seeing
them
a
far
off
to
come
towards
them
,
hee
went
foorth
to
méete
them
,
and
scarcely
they
could
haue
so
much
leasure
as
to
life
vp
theyr
mases
for
to
strike
them
,
when
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
with
great
lightnesse
stroke
one
of
those
Gyants
with
his
swoord
in
both
his
hands
so
terrible
a
blow
vpon
his
right
shoulder
,
that
hee
cut
him
downe
to
his
bowells
,
in
such
sort
,
that
the
fore
quarter
with
his
right
arme
did
part
from
his
body
,
and
he
fell
from
his
horse
dead
to
the
ground
.
Then
the
other
Gyaunt
who
saw
the
ill
successe
of
his
companion
,
beeganne
to
roare
,
and
to
discharge
his
heauie
clubbe
vpon
the
Knights
head
,
but
this
couragious
knight
perceiuing
the
same
,
set
spurres
vnto
his
horse
,
who
springing
forwards
,
did
cléere
his
maister
from
that
terrible
blow
,
so
that
his
mase
fell
downe
vnto
the
ground
,
at
which
time
the
good
King
Lyseo
dyd
finde
himselfe
nigh
vnto
the
Gyant
,
and
stroke
him
so
terrible
a
blow
vppon
his
arme
,
that
hée
cut
his
armour
and
flesh
vnto
the
hard
bone
.
At
which
time
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
was
embraced
with
other
Knights
,
and
the
Gyaunt
lyft
vp
his
mase
againe
,
and
stroke
the
King
Lyseo
so
strong
a
blow
vpon
his
hard
and
rich
helme
,
that
hee
made
him
fall
backwards
vppon
his
saddle
bow
without
any
remembraunce
,
with
his
head
vpon
the
horse
neck
,
&
his
armes
hanging
on
both
sides
as
though
hée
had
béen
dead
,
and
vo●…did
out
of
the
beauer
of
his
healme
great
abundaunce
of
blood
.
Then
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
who
at
the
noise
of
that
terrible
blow
dyd
looke
about
him
to
sée
what
it
should
bée
,
and
when
hée
saw
the
King
in
that
great
perplexitie
as
though
hée
had
beene
dead
,
his
sorrow
and
griefe
was
such
,
that
neuer
in
all
his
lyfe
hée
receiued
the
lyke
,
and
wished
that
hée
had
not
brought
him
out
that
day
vnto
the
battaile
,
but
seeing
that
it
was
then
requisit
to
reuenge
the
same
,
with
more
furie
and
wrath
then
euer
hée
receiued
,
hée
went
towards
the
giant
,
who
was
readie
to
strike
the
king
Lyseo
another
blow
,
and
raysing
himselfe
in
his
stirrops
,
with
the
force
of
both
his
hands
hée
stroke
the
Gyant
such
a
blow
vpon
his
head
,
as
though
hee
had
no
armour
vpon
him
,
he
cloue
him
downe
vnto
the
breast
,
&
the
Gyant
fell
downe
dead
to
the
ground
,
then
the
King
of
Arcadia
and
all
those
that
were
with
him
wondered
greatlie
when
they
saw
that
terrible
and
mortall
blow
stroken
,
theyr
blood
waxed
colde
in
theyr
bodies
,
and
all
theyr
bones
did
shake
,
and
receiued
such
feare
,
that
there
was
not
one
that
was
so
hardie
almost
scarce
to
looke
vpon
him
,
much
lesse
to
assault
him
,
and
the
King
of
Arcadia
●…ayd
vnto
himselfe
:
Oh
immortall
Gods
,
who
could
haue
beeléeued
that
your
power
dooth

that
at

hée
hath
slaine

of
the
most
valyauntest
Gyaunts
that
were
in

Pagan
Countrie

And
I
doo
verily
béeléeue
,
séeing
that
you
doo
force

to
speake
it
,
that
the
force
and
strength
of
this
knight
〈◊〉
much

then

if
it

for

into
the
heauens
,
as
he
is
héere
on
the
earth
,
he
wold
〈◊〉
destroy
you
all
.
At
this
time
all
those
which
were
〈◊〉
the
Citie
,
when
they
saw
the
disgrace
of
the
King
Lyseo
all
the
great
ioy
and
pleasure
which
they
receiued
ton
sée
the
wonderfull
meruayles
of
those
two
Knights
was
tourned
into
great
sorrow
and
heauinesse
,
and
béegan
amongst
them
grieuous
lamentations
,
but
especially
the
Quéene
,
who
fell
in
a
deadly
sound
,
&
so
remained
more
then
one
houre
,
but
in
the
meane
time
this
inuinsible
Knight
not
making
any
stay
at
the
death
of
the
Gyaunt
,
without
departing
from
the
king
Lyseo
,
did
such
wonderfull
déedes
round
about
him
,
that
they
durst
oot
come
nigh
him
to
assalt
him
by
a
great
space
,
but
with
great
sorrow
withdrew
themselues
,
béecause
their
liues
depended
in
receiuing
but
one
blow
of
his
hands
,
if
hée
chaunced
to
hit
them
right
,
and
although
a
far
off
they
threw
at
him
Darts
,
Launces
,
and
swoords
,
as
well
at
his
Horse
as
at
him
,
yet
they
did
him
little
harme
,
for
that
his
armour
was
such
as
the
historie
hath
shewed
,
and
his
horse
was
all
couered
with
a
very
small
and
light
mayle
,
made
by
such
art
,
that
ther
was
no
weapon
able
to
cut
nor
pearce
it
,
for
so
the
Prince
Meridian
had
caused
it
to
bee
made
,
of
whom
hée
wonne
his
armour
as
you
haue
read
,
which
dyd
not
a
little
profit
in
the
mightie
and
immortal
deeds
of
this
inuinsible
knight
,
for
if
that
his
owne
armour
and
the
armour
of
his
Horse
had
not
béene
of
so
great
force
and
strength
,
it
had
not
béene
possible
for
him
to
haue
finished
and
brought
to
an
ende
so
many
perillous
battayles
and
contentions
as
hee
hath
done
.
When
this
good
knight
saw
that
his
enimies
with
great
feare
dyd
flye
from
him
and
gaue
him
way
,
hée
went
vnto
the
king
Lyseo
and
tooke
him
in
his
armes
,
and
rubbed
and
chafed
him
in
such
sort
,
that
hée
came
againe
vnto
himselfe
,
and
when
hee
saw
the
great
perill
and
daunger
wherein
hée
was
brought
,
and
the
great
slaughter
which
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
hadde
made
▪
hée
lift
vp
his
hands
to
heauen
,
and
gaue
great
thanks
vnto
almightie
God
,
and
with
a
very
good
courage
hée
ioyned
with
him
,
and
with
great
and
mighty
blowes
hée
béegan
to
help
him
,
with
desire
to
reuenge
the
great
perill
in
which
his
enimies
had
brought
him
:
in
this
sort
these
two
knights
put
themselues
into
the
thickest
of
their
enimies
,
making
s●
great
slaughter
,
that
they
were
iudged
rather
to
bée
diuells
of
hell
,
then
mortall
knights
,
and
there
was
none
that
was
so
bolde
that
durst
withstand
them
in
their
way
,
and
by
reason
the
night
drew
on
,
they
béeing
all
bloodie
,
and
almost
wearie
with
killing
and
wounding
of
theyr
enimies
,
they
beegan
to
take
theyr
way
towards
the
Citie
,
with
so
great
quietnesse
as
the
rauening
Lyon
after
she
hath
had
hir
pray
doth
depart
through
the
feeble
and
weake
heards
of
cattel
,
but
the
King
of
Arcadia
when
hee
saw
them
depart
so
quietly
and
to
their
contentment
,
by
his
outwarde
shew
he
séemed
to
bée
so
furious
&
full
of
wrath
,
that
not
one
that
was
about
him
durst
come
in
his
presence
,
but
with
many
vprobrious
woords
hée
rebuked
them
,
saying
:
Oh
vile
people
and
of
base
courage
,
how
is
it
that
you
are
not
ashamed
that
two
alone
Knights
against
so
many
as
are
of
you
,
hath
had
so
great
courage
and
boldnesse
,
to
enter
into
our
camp
,
&
hath
slaine
so
many
of
your
brethren
,
kinsfolks
,
and
friends
,
and
to
suffer
them
to
depart
in
so
quiet
sort
as
they
doo
,
as
though
they
had
done
vs
no
barme
at
all
.
Héere
I
doo
make
a
vow
and
sweare
by
the
high
Gods
,
whom
I
estéeme
but
little
,
that
to
morrow
if
they
returne
bether
agayne
,
to
arme
my selfe
,
&
with
mine
owne
hands
to
take
reuengement
of
him
that
all
you
together
cannot
doo
.
At
that
time
there
was
in
presence
with
the
King
many
stout
and
valiaunt
Knights
,
who
thought
it
a
great
shame
and
small
manhood
to
bée
so
many
against
two
alone
Knights
,
and
therefore
they
would
not
arme
themselues
that
day
,
who
when
they
saw
the
King
to
bée
so
angry
and
wrathfull
,
euery
one
of
them
made
a
solempne
oath
,
to
take
cruell
reuengement
of
those
two
Knights
,
if
the
next
day
they
dyd
come
foorth
againe
.
In
this
time
if
the
sorrow
&
griefe
was
verie
much
with
them
in
the
Camp
,
the
great
ioye
and
contented
pleasure
of
them
of
the
Citie
,
to
the
contrarie
was
as
great
,
when
they
saw
those
two
valiant
warriours
returne
together
,
and
caused
the
gates
to
be
opened
,
and
went
foorth
to
receiue
them
,
and
●ould
not
satisfie
themselues
in
honouring
of
them
,
&
gaue
great
thancks
vnto
God
in
that
hee
had
sent
vnto
them
so
valiant
a
knight
,
for
when
they
saw
his
great
and
singular
bountie
,
they
were
all
fully
perswaded
that
God
had
sent
him
vnto
them
for
to
aide
&
succour
them
in
this
great
necessitie
.
But
when
they
came
vnto
the
Kings
pallace
,
I
am
not
héere
able
to
recite
the
great
ioy
&
pleasure
wherewith
the
Quéene
receiued
them
,
who
thought
of
a
certaintie
that
the
king
had
béene
dead
,
but
when
shée
saw
him
by
hir
,
shée
knew
not
what
to
doo
for
ioy
,
but
with
hir
owne
hands
dyd
vnarme
the
King
and
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
would
not
consent
that
any
other
should
help
hir
,
and
béecause
theyr
armour
was
so
strong
and
exceeding
good
in
making
defence
,
they
had
not
receiued
any
one
wound
that
was
néedfull
of
curing
.
So
there
was
brought
vnto
each
of
them
strayghtwayes
a
new
gowne
,
and
putting
them
on
,
they
sat
downe
vnto
supper
,
and
passed
away
that
night
with
more
contentment
&
ioye
,
then
any
night
beefore
since
the
King
of
Arcadia
came
into
that
Kingdome
.
Whom
at
this
present
the
historie
dooth
leaue
,
for
to
declare
vnto
you
what
passed
in
the
Court
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
after
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
was
departed
from
the
Court.
How
Rodaran
sent
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
demanding
more
Knights
,
and
who
went
foorth
in
the
demaund
.
Chapter
46.
EIght
daies
remained
Rodaran
at
the
bridge
of
Iaspe
,
tarrying
for
some
knight
that
should
come
from
the
Court
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
for
to
combat
with
him
,
in
the
ende
of
the
which
when
hée
saw
that
none
came
,
hée
sent
a
damsell
of
the
Quéene
of
Carmanias
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
giuing
him
to
vnderstand
how
that
all
those
Knights
which
were
sent
by
him
were
prisoners
,
and
that
hée
should
send
more
Knights
,
and
if
not
,
how
that
hée
was
determined
to
depart
into
his
owne
Countrie
with
those
Knights
which
hée
had
in
his
power
.
So
the
damsell
departed
,
with
this
hir
message
,
&
at
such
time
as
the
emperor
,
with
other
princes
&
knights
,
wer
in
the
great
hall
of
the
pallas
,
this
damsell
entrrd
in
theratand
without
acknowledging
any
courtesie
she
went
before
the
Emperour
,
and
said
.
Rodaran
,
king
of
Arabia
,
my
Lord
doth
send
me
to
giue
thée
●…o
vnderstand
emperour
Trebatio
,
how
that
all
those
knights
which
thou
didst
send
vnto
him
,
are
prisoners
,
&
doth
me
wil
●…hee
to
send
other
knightes
,
such
as
may
with
their
great
bounty
&
strength
set
them
at
liberty
,
&
if
not
,
he
is
determined
to
depart
into
his
owne
country
,
and
to
cary
them
with
him
prisoners
that
already
he
hath
,
&
will
declare
in
all
places
that
ther
were
no
knights
in
thy
court
that
durst
come
forth
to
combat
with
him
.
When
the
damsell
had
made
an
end
of
saying
these
words
,
she
returned
back
&
went
out
of
the
great
hall
,
&
without
any
tarrying
returned
vnto
Rodaran
,
leauing
the
emperour
&
all
his
knightes
that
were
with
him
in
great
admiration
〈◊〉
sorrow
,
beléeuing
that
the
knight
of
the
Sun
was
also
pri●…
,
&
as
men
halfe
amazed
they
looked
one
vpon
another
,
&
●…new
not
what
to
say
,
&
ther
was
not
one
of
them
that
could
●…eléeue
,
that
such
knights
as
went
forth
for
to
combat
with
Rodaran
,
could
bée
taken
prisoners
,
except
it
were
by
some
●…reat
treason
.
Then
the
valiant
Clauerindo
,
who
could
no
●…onger
suffer
his
couragious
hart
so
swelled
▪
but
asking
li●…ence
of
the
emperour
,
he
departed
towardes
the
bridge
of
the
〈◊〉
,
more
with
pretence
to
vnderstand
if
ther
were
vsed
a●…
treason
,
&
for
to
be
prisoner
with
his
friends
,
then
for
any
●…ope
hée
had
to
conclude
that
which
the
knight
of
the
Sun
&
●…osicleer
could
not
doo
.
And
when
this
valiant
prince
came
〈◊〉
the
bridge
,
the
battaile
that
was
betwéene
him
&
Roda●…
was
so
well
foughten
,
that
they
were
more
then
halfe
day
in
great
contention
,
and
could
not
get
the
victory
〈◊〉
of
another
,
neither
was
there
any
vauntage
knowen
of
●…ther
side
,
but
in
the
end
Rodaran
féeling
himselfe
weary
&
〈◊〉
the
night
drew
on
,
hée
began
to
vse
his
accustomed
remedy
,
and
did
retire
backwards
:
this
valiaunt
prince
with
great
courage
did
follow
him
,
till
such
time
as
they
were
vnder
the
〈◊〉
of
the
second
tower
.
Then
the
quéene
did
pul
the
cord
.
〈◊〉
let
the
yron
net
to
fall
downe
vpon
those
knights
,
in
●…uch
●…ort
,
that
they
were
both
prisoners
,
&
straight
way
they
pulled
of
the
princes
helme
,
&
toke
a
way
his
swood
,
and
when
his
hands
were
bound
,
they
tooke
him
out
of
the
net
,
&
did
cary
him
prisoner
vnto
the
other
knights
.
Great
was
the
sorrow
&
griefe
which
these
good
knights
receiued
,
when
they
saw
themselues
together
prisoners
by
so
great
treason
.
And
seeing
that
they
were
in
place
whereas
they
could
not
profit
themselues
of
their
force
&
strength
,
but
to
haue
patience
,
&
to
suffer
that
terrible
blow
of
fortune
,
they
committed
themselues
vnto
God
,
till
such
time
as
it
pleased
him
to
dispose
of
them
to
his
pleasure
.
So
when
this
valiant
prince
was
likewise
prisoner
with
the
rest
,
Rodaran
sent
the
damsell
againe
vnto
the
emperour
,
for
to
giue
him
to
vnderstand
how
that
the
knight
which
he
sent
last
was
also
prisoner
:
&
that
he
should
send
other
knights
of
great
bounty
in
armes
.
But
when
the
emperour
did
●…eare
that
message
,
without
speaking
vnto
the
damsell
or
〈◊〉
any
other
that
was
ther
present
,
he
arose
vp
&
wen●…
all
alone
into
his
closet
.
And
kneeling
downe
vpon
the
ground
,
shedding
many
salt
and
bitter
teares
from
his
eies
,
he
began
to
complaine
himselfe
saying
.
Oh
high
&
mightie
Lord
,
the
creator
of
all
things
,
without
whose
good
will
&
permission
nothing
can
be
done
.
Heere
I
〈◊〉
acknowledge
that
the
great
pride
&
presumtion
of
all
mor●…
tall
men
is
such
,
and
being
by

abhorred

many

the
occasion

that
being

they
fall

we
are
▪
of
our selues
nothing

And
I
a

man
,
at
such
time
as
I
thought
to
be
most
highest
in
estat●…
&
most
〈◊〉
est
,
with
the
new
acknowledging
of
my
worthy
valiant
sons
,
with
the
high
&
mighty
knighthood
of
my
court
,
with
whom
I
did
beleeue
to
be
sufficient
for
to
conquer
the
whole
world
.
Forgetting
with
my
great
pride
&
presumption
,
to
giue
thée
thanks
for
so
great
benefite
which
by
thee
I
haue
obtained
&
now
is
the
occasion
that
I
am
by
thee
for
gotten
&
voide
of
thy
mightie
hand
&
power
.
And
in
a
short
time
I
do
sée
my
sons
&
all
my
knights
which
was
the
flower
of
all
the
world
,
in
the
power
of
one
pagan
,
&
prisoners
▪
&
I
my selfe
in
danger
to
be
with
them
.
Héere
I
doo
humbly
desire
thee
my
Lord
good
,
seeing
that
I
doo
acknowledge
my
fault
,
that
I
alone
may
receiue
the
punishment
.
And
doo
not
permit
that
so
many
good
knights
to
perish
&
decay
.
In
saying
these
&
other
like
lamentable
woords
,
the
good
emperour
all
that
day
he
would
not
goe
foorth
of
his
closet
:
but
when
night
was
come
,
he
armed
himselfe
very
secretly
,
with
his
strong
&
rich
armour
,
&
tooke
a
mightie
great
&
light
horse
,
and
with
one
squ●…er
,
he
departed
out
of
the
citie
,
&
tooke
his
way
towardes
the
bridge
of
the
Iaspe
,
leauing
order
that
they
should
say
that
he
was
in
his
chamber
very
sick
,
&
that
he
commanded
that
none
should
enter
in
vnto
him
▪
for
that
if
they
did
know
of
his
departure
,
all
knights
of
the
Court
would
follow
aft●…r
him
,
which
was
contrary
to
his
desire
.
So
in
this
sort
went
this
worthy
emperour
,
with
so
great
desire
to
finde
himselfe
with
Rodaran
,
that
he
thought
euery
hower
to
bée
a
whole
day
.
But
yet
hee
made
so
great
hast
that
the
fist
day
after
his
departure
,
he
ariued
at
the
bridge
of
the
Iaspe
,
without
finding
any
aduenture
by
the
way
,
worth
the
telling
.
And
at
his
comming
vnto
the
bridge
,
〈◊〉
knocked
at
the
gate
,
and
straight
way
it
was
open
▪
and
the
Emperour
entred
in
ther
at
,
and
hi●…

in

but
those
that

so
that
the
squier

did

in

and
one
of
the
men
tooke
vp

that
it

the

and
saw

squier
to
bée
so
misused
,
hée
drew
out
his
sword
and
〈◊〉
that
man
such
a
terrible
blow
,
that
hee
euerthrew
him
dead
to
the
ground
,
the
rest
seeing
their
companion
slain
,
they
began
altogether
to
buckle
with
the
emperour
,
but
he
vsed
himselfe
so
with
them
,
that
in
a
small
time
of
ten
which
were
of
them
,
he
slew
eight
,
&
the
other
two
ran
away
for
to
tell
their
lord
what
had
passed
,
&
the
gate
remained
with
o●…t
any
kéepers
,
so
that
the
emperour
entred
the
bridge
,
and
his
〈◊〉
with
him
,
&
he
had
not
wel
passed
halfe
the
bridge
,
when
Rodaran
armed
with
strong
armour
,
&
mounted
on
his
furious
horse
,
with
his
speare
in
his
hand
be
came
●…orth
and
met
him
,
&
with
presumptuous
and
proud
words
he
saide
:
Knight
,
thou
séemest
to
be
some
innocent
&
variable
person
,
thou
comming
to
combat
with
me
,
thou
●…ast
made
contention
with
my
men
.
Heere
I
sweare
vnto
thee
by
the
high
god●…
,
that
thy
life
shall
make
me
recompence
for
theirs
,
but
first
I
will
that
thou
tell
mée
whether
thou
art
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
or
some
of
his
court
,
for
that
hetherto
tho●…e
which
hath
come
hether
,
haue
not
ben
so
vncourteous
as
thou
〈◊〉
ben
.
Then
he
said
,
thou
shalt
vnderstand
Rodaran
,
that
I
am
the
emperour
whom
thou
●…oost
speak
of
,
&
not
bele●…uing
tha●…
thy
strength
is
sufficient
to
ouercome
and
take
prisoners
so
good
knights
as
thou
hast
in
thy
power
,
I
am
come
hether
〈◊〉
combat
with
thee
,
for
to
know
by
experience
that
which
〈◊〉
many
times
hath
ben
told
me
of
thée
▪
therfore
looke
vnto
th●…
self
,
for
thou
shalt
haue
〈◊〉
to
doe
heerein
,
&
let
passe
th●…
death
of
thy
keepers
.
And
in
saying
these
words
,
the
good
Emperour
turned
about
his
horse
:
likewise
Rodaran
no
lesse
〈◊〉
full
▪
as
much
meruailing
to
see
the
emperour
ther
,
turned
〈◊〉
bout
his
horse
,
and
being
both
in
place
to
begin
their
cours●…
they
both
of
them
together
set
spurs
vnto
their
horses
,
&
〈◊〉
the
midst
of
the
bridge
they
made
their
encounter
,
and
〈◊〉
each
other
with
their
speares
in
such
sort
,
that
they
were
〈◊〉
broken
in
péeces
,
and
passed
by
one
another
without
〈◊〉
any
more
harme
,
and
tourned
their
horses
about
〈◊〉
with
their
Swoords
drawen
,
and
their
shieldes
on
〈◊〉
shoulders
they
assauited
the
one
the
other
verye
〈◊〉
lye
,
and
the
one
of
them
stroke
the
other
with
so
〈◊〉
force
&
strenzth
,
that
the
noise
ran
all
alongst
the
riuer
.
Rodaran
did
so
much
o●…presse
the
Emperour
with
his
mightye
blowes
,
that
he
gaue
him
to
vnderstand
,
that
he
was
a
knight
of
great
bounty
.
Likewise
he
receiued
such
blowes
of
the
emperour
,
that
Rodaran
did
very
well
féele
&
vnderstand
him
to
be
so
good
a
knight
as
any
of
the
other
knights
that
came
before
him
,
&
many
times
he
said
vnto
himselfe
,
that
with
great
reason
those
valiant
knights
did
serue
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
for
that
he
was
of
his
owne
person
the
most
worthiest
prince
that
euer
●…e
saw
or
●…elt
,
&
seemed
vnto
him
,
that
forsomuch
as
he
was
come
thether
vnto
the
combat
,
ther
remained
in
the
court
no
other
knight
that
was
of
any
account
or
estimation
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
he
did
animate
&
force
himselfe
very
much
for
to
oner●…ome
him
,
&
did
charge
him
with
great
&
mighty
blowes
,
but
he
had
to
doo
with
the
emperour
Ttebatio
,
father
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sun
&
vnto
Rosicleer
,
&
such
a
one
for
his
person
,
that
setting
his
sons
a
part
,
ther
was
not
a
more
valiant
&
worthie
knight
in
all
the
world
,
who
with
the
great
sorrow
&
griefe
which
he
receiued
for
the
imprisonment
of
his
knights
,
did
so
charge
Rodaran
with
his
mightie
blowes
,
that
although
his
strong
&
fine
armour
did
saue
him
●…rom
death
,
yet
many
times
hée
brought
him
out
of
his
remembrance
,
that
his
horse
caried
him
round
about
the
bridge
.
In
this
sort
the
battaile
en●…ured
more
then
thrée
heures
,
&
could
neither
of
them
ouercome
the
other
,
but
in
the
end
because
their
horses
waxed
weary
,
they
concluded
together
to
leaue
them
,
&
to
make
their
battaile
on
foot
,
&
for
that
they
might
then
more
at
their
ease
bestur
themselues
to
execute
their
terrible
blowes
,
the
battaile
at
that
time
séemed
to
be
more
furious
&
well
foughten
,
for
their
sheelds
wer
all
broken
in
péeces
,
&
with
the
strength
of
both
their
hands
they
stroke
the
one
vpon
the
others
●…elme
,
that
it
made
them
to
sound
like
bels
,
and
their
●…ares
were
so
full
with
the
noyse
therof
that
it
was
straunge
.
And
many
times
these
sto●…t
Knightes
with
the
mightye
strength
of
theyr
blowes
,
were
constrained
to
vowe
their
heades
downe
vnto
their
breasts
,
and
stoupe
with
their
knées
to
the
ground
,
and
likewise
with
their
handes
to
staye
them
from
falling
all
together
,
yet
with
a
trise
they
recouered
themselues
againe
,
&
abated
nothing
of
their
couragious
striking
one
of
another
,
although
they
were
all
to
shaken
with
the
force
of
theyr
blowes
,
yet
the
one
had
not
so
soone
discharged
his
blow
as
the
other
had
his
swoord
aloft
for
to
recompence
the
same
&
if
at
one
time
the
emperour
did
bow
his
knées
to
the
ground
straightwaies
the
mighty
Rodaran
did
stoup
with
his
hands
,
because
he
would
not
altogether
fall
downe
,
&
sometimes
he
fell
vpon
his
face
,
as
halfe
amazed
.
At
this
time
was
Rodaran
very
much
amazed
at
the
great
and
high
bounty
of
the
Emperour
Ttebatio
,
&
thought
verily
vnto
himselfe
that
it
was
not
possible
for
him
to
get
the
victory
of
that
rigorous
battaile
,
if
he
did
not
profit
himselfe
of
his
wonted
remedy
&
treason
,
yet
was
he
meruailous
desirous
to
ouercome
that
Magnanime
,
&
valiant
emperour
in
battaile
,
for
that
he
had
taken
all
the
other
Knights
prisoners
by
that
treason
,
hée
would
not
if
it
were
possible
,
but
ouercome
the
emperour
by
force
of
armes
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
he
did
very
much
enforce
himselfe
to
augment
his
blowes
,
but
by
reason
of
the
great
fury
of
the
emperour
,
&
the
mortall
&
troublesome
blowes
which
he
stroke
,
brought
him
into
great
féeblenesse
&
to
be
weary
,
the
emperour
was
not
cleane
void
,
but
by
reason
of
the
long
endurance
of
the
battaile
,
he
waxed
likewise
weary
,
so
that
both
of
them
had
great
néede
for
to
rest
themselues
some
what
,
of
the
great
trauaile
which
they
had
passed
,
and
did
withdraw
themselurs
both
together
,
&
tested
themselues
vpon
the
〈◊〉
of
their
rich
swoords
,
&
without
speaking
any
word
the
one
vnto
the
other
,
they
remained
so
a
good
space
,
till
such
time
as
the
Emperour
féeling
himselfe
somewhat
refreshed
said
.
Tell
mee
Rodaran
,
what
is
the
occasion
that
thou
béeing
such
a
knight
as
thou
art
,
&
so
mighty
a
prince
,
&
king
of
Arabia
,
hast
left
thine
owne
country
,
&
come
into
these
strange
countries
,
so
far
from
thine
,
whereas
wee
are
all
contrarye
vnto
you
in
customes
and
lawes
.
Well
,
said
Rodaran
,
séeing
that
you
so
liberally
haue
shewen
vnto
me
who
you
were
,
I
will
straight
way
giue
you
to
vnderstand
of
your
demand
.
You
shall
vnderstand
that
on
a
time
I
being
in
the
court
of
the
mightie
Emperour
of
Tar
taria
,
which
is
the
gran
Cataya
,
by
the
mouth
of
the
king
Gedrosia
(
who
is
an
old
man
,
&
very
well
seene
in
the
art
of
nigromancy
,
I
heard
him
say
,
that
the
knights
of
Greece
beefore
many
yeares
did
passe
,
shall
destroy
all
the
Tartarians
&
pagans
,
&
bring
vnto
destruction
the
most
mightiest
kings
and
Lords
that
are
in
all
those
countries
,
&
ouerthrow
all
their
I●…ols
downe
vnto
the
ground
in
despite
of
our
Gods
,
&
for
that
the
words
of
that
king
did
make
the
emperour
&
all
the
kings
&
noble
men
that
were
ther
present
greatly
to
meruaile
,
I
in
the
midst
amongst
them
did
arise
bp
,
&
gaue
my
word
&
promise
in
their
presence
,
for
to
come
into
these
parts
,
&
by
mine
owne
hands
for
to
take
&
carry
away
prisouers
all
the
knights
of
Greece
,
&
for
that
they
all
did
make
a
ieast
thereat
,
and
thought
it
a
thing
impossible
,
I
straight
waies
departed
out
of
the
court
,
&
toke
in
my
company
the
quéene
of
Carmania
my
spouse
&
wife
,
&
am
come
hether
,
and
done
as
is
apparant
vnto
you
,
And
with
pretence
&
good
wil
when
I
haue
prisoners
the
best
&
most
estéemed
knights
of
all
the
court
to
depart
vnto
the
sea
,
&
returne
againe
vnto
Tartaria
,
&
ther
to
make
a
present
before
the
emperour
of
all
the
prisoners
that
I
shall
cary
,
that
he
man
doe
with
them
all
that
his
will
&
pleasure
is
and
according
vnto
the
euill
will
which
he
doth
beare
vnto
the
christians
,
he
will
cause
them
all
to
die
an
cruell
death
,
so
〈◊〉
as
they
shall
be
presented
before
him
.
Therfore
emperour
Trebatio
,
looke
well
vnto
t●…y
selfe
,
for
that
I
doe
desire
more
to
cary
thee
prisoner
,
then
to
enioy
the
kingdome
of
Carmania
,
although
it
were
more
greater
then
the
whole
Empire
of
Tartaria
.
God
will
doo
better
with
vs
then
thou
doost
think
for
,
said
the
emperour
,
&
béeing
very
angry
&
wrathfull
at
the
euill
pretence
of
Rodaran
,
he
went
vnto
him
&
in
such
sort
beegan
to
charge
him
with
his
strong
&
heauy
blowes
,
brusing
both
his
bones
and
flesh
,
that
he
was
constrained
to
bestur
himselfe
,
more
for
the
defence
of
the
blowes
●…ée
receiuid
,
then
for
to
procure
to
strike
any
.
At
this
time
was
more
then
sixe
houres
past
since
the
beginning
of
the
battaile
,
at
which
time
the
worthy
emperour
with
new
force
&
strength
did
double
his
blowes
,
&
in
such
sort
did
intreat
Rodaran
,
that
he
was
without
all
hope
of
victory
of
that
battaile
,
which
caused
him
to
retire
backwards
vpon
the
bridge
,
for
to
séeke
remedy
for
the
sauegard
of
his
life
,
although
it
was
a
great
griefe
vnto
〈◊〉
for
to
doo
it
,
&
was
the
occasion
that
this
good
emperour
was
brought
subiect
vnto
the
cruell
blow
of
fortune
,
as
the
others
were
,
&
there
he
was
taken
prisoner
in
the
yron
net
,
wheras
he
vnderstood
all
the
treason
,
whereby
all
the
other
knights
were
taken
prisoners
,
&
straight
waies
they
pulled
off
his
helme
,
&
tooke
away
his
rich
&
precious
swoord
,
and
bound
his
hands
,
&
made
fast
to
his
féet
a
great
&
long
chain
,
&
caryed
him
wheras
the
other
knights
were
,
but
when
they
saw
him
brought
thether
,
&
he
them
prisoners
,
either
of
them
receiued
so
great
sorrow
&
griefe
,
that
they
thought
verilye
to
burst
with
anger
,
&
ther
were
knights
amongst
them
that
would
gladly
haue
yeelded
themselues
vnto
death
out
of
hand
,
vpon
condition
,
to
be
but
one
houre
at
liberty
,
but
especially
the
worthy
Rosicleer
,
who
when
he
saw
the
emperour
his
father
prisoner
,
his
sorow
&
griefe
was
so
much
,
that
he
could
not
speake
one
word
.
Then
Rodaran
when
he
saw
that
hée
had
prisoners
the
most
principal●…est
Knights
of
all
Greece
,
with
the
counsaile
and
consent
of
the
Quéene
Carmania
,
his
wife
,
he
put
himselfe
presently
into
his
ship
,
which
was
at
an
an●…er
in
the
riuer
hard
by
the
bridge
of
the
Iaspe
.
Likewise
all
the
prisoners
in
verye
good
order
with
the
Quéene
Carmania
,
and
all
their
people
,
they
commaunded
to
hoyse
sayle
,
and
béeing
very
glad
and
ioyfull
of
theyr
noble
pray
,
and
the
winde
prosperous
,
in
short
time
they
were
put
into
the
mayne
Sea
,
whereas
they
shaped
theyr
course
the
nighest
way
they
could
for
to
goe
vnto
the
Emperour
of
Tartaria
.
Rodaran
receiued
the
greatest
contentment
that
euer
man
could
receiue
,
for
that
he
very
well
knew
by
experience
,
that
the
present
which
hée
carried
,
was
the
most
worthiest
and
valyauntest
knights
that
were
in
all
the
woorld
.
Also
hee
thought
that
the
Emperour
of
Tartaria
and
all
his
nobles
would
haue
him
in
great
reputation
for
that
pollycie
which
hée
vsed
heerein
.
Let
this
now
remaine
for
an
example
vnto
all
kings
and
mightie
Lords
,
wherin
they
may
sée
the
small
securitie
which
they
haue
in
their
high
estate
,
and
how
subiect
they
are
vnto
mutable
Fortune
,
for
that
at
such
time
as
they
are
exalted
all
aloft
,
with
great
pride
and
presumption
they
forget
God
,
who
is
the
author
of
all
goodnesse
,
and
hée
once
leauing
them
,
they
are
straight
waies
ouerthrowen
,
and
brought
into
such
perils
and
dangers
,
that
none
but
god
alone
is
sufficient
to
deliuer
them
,
from
whence
doth
procéede
the
myrrour
,
to
see
how
little
their
own
power
and
strength
is
,
when
they
thincke
they
are
exalted
in

Chapter
47.
AT
such
time
as
the
squier
which
was
with
the
Emperour
saw
his
Lord
prisoner
,
and
the
great
treason
which
was
vsed
to
take
him
,
without
any
more
tarrieng
he
returned
vnto
Constantinople
as
fast
as
his
horse
could
run
▪
and
at
such
time
as
ther
was
ioined
together
in
the
great
hall
of
the
pallace
many
princes
&
worthy
knights
,
he
entered
in
at
the
doore
,
&
with
a
loud
voice
●…e
said
:
O●…
princes
&
knights
of
Greece
,
what
doo
you
hare
so
without
care
or
consideration
,
and
doo
not
procure
to
go
and
help
the
Emperor
our
Lord
who
by
the
greatest
treason
that
euer
was
seene
or
heard
of
is
taken
prisoner
by
Rodaran
.
At
which
time
all
the
princes
and
knights
were
amazed
at
the
words
,
and
there
grew
a
great
vpro●…re
amongst
them
,
and
demanded
of
him
how
and
in
what
sort
it
happened
,
who
in
breefe
did
declare
it
vnto
them
,
the
which
was
presently
published
in
the
great
pallace
,
and
throughout
all
the
citie
.
And
when
it
came
vnto
the
eares
of
the
Empresse
,
in
hir
estate
wheras
she
sat
she
fell
in
a
sound
,
&
was
in
the
armes
of
hir
Ladies
more
than
an
ho●…re
as
one
that
were
dead
,
&
in
all
the
pallace
was
made
such
sorow
&
lamentatio●…
,
as
though
the
Emperour
had
beene
slayne
,
and
with
a
trise
therewere
many
princes
and
knights
armed
,
and
ioyned
together
a
companie
of
more
then
two
hundreth
,
who
departed
out
of
the
citie
all
together
as
fast
as
their
horses
could
run
,
and
they
tooke
theyr
way
towards
the
Bridge
of
the
Iaspe
,
but
all
did
〈◊〉
little
,
for
that
when
they
came
vnto
the
Bridge
,
they
found
that
Rodaran
with
hi●…
rich
pray
was
gone
,
and
they
could
finde
no
signe
which
way
,
so
that
they
knew
not
whether
to
follow
them
.
In
this
time
the
great
valour
of
the
Princesse
Claridiana
was
not
absent
,
for
that
aseer
shée
had
verie
wiselie
and
curteously
comforted
the
Empresse
,
shée
promised
hir
and
gaue
hir
hir
woord
neuer
to
returne
any
more
vnto
the
Empire
of
Greece
,
without
the
Emperour
,
and
straight
way
she
was
armed
with
strong
and
rich
〈◊〉
,
and
mounted
vpon
a
light
horse
,
onely
accompanied
with
hir
Damsels
,
shée
departed
out
of
the
Citie
,
and
when
shee
came
vnto
the
bridge
of
the
Iaspe
,
shée
found
the
knights
that
went
out
to
séeke
the
Emperour
,
very
sorrowfull
and
without
all
comfort
,
béecause
they
knew
not
which
way
to
go
seeke
Rodaran
,
some
of
them
embarked
themselues
to
the
sea
,
and
other
some
went
trauailing
into
the
land
to
go
and
seeke
him
,
but
the
Princesse
finding
in
a
port
(
which
was
nigh
vnto
the
place
whereas
they
were
)
a
ship
rea●…ie
in
all
points
,
shée
embarked
hir selfe
therein
all
alone
with
hir
Damsels
,
&
it
séemed
vnto
hir
that
séeing
that
Rodaran
dyd
carry
with
him
so
rich
a
pray
,
that
it
did
not
beehooue
him
to
stay
in
the
countrie
.
So
shée
put
hir selfe
vnto
the
sea
,
without
knowing
any
certaine
way
whether
to
trauayle
,
but
onely
committed
hir selfe
vnto
Fortune
.
So
they
na●…igated
fiue
dayes
at
the
Sea
,
without
finding
any
aduenture
worthie
the
telling
,
in
the
ende
whereof
verie
earlie
in
the
morning
they
discouered
land
nigh
vnto
them
,
which
was
pleasant
and
wel
furnished
with
all
maner
of
gréene
trées
,
and
hauing
great
desire
to
goe
a
shore
,
they
commaunded
to
hoise
out
their
●…oat
.
So
the
Princes
and
hir
damsels
went
a
land
,
and
shée
mounting
vpon
hir
horse
,
and
hir
Damsels
vpon
their
Palfraies
,
they
béegan
to
trauaile
by
a
very
narow
and
small
vsed
path
,
which
went
through
a
Ualley
,
which
was
garnished
full
of
very
swéet
Roses
,
and
other
odoriferous
flowers
and
hearbs
,
and
they
had
scarce
trauailed
therein
one
mile
,
when
they
saw
comming
against
them
a
damsel
vpon
a
palfray
,
so
fast
as
hee
could
runne
,
and
men
running
threatning
to
kill
hir
,
if
shée
would
not
stay
,
but
when
shée
found
hir self
nigh
vnto
the
princesse
,
shee
said
:
Oh
knight
defend
mée
from
these
traytors
,
for
they
haue
committed
the
greatest
treason
that
euer
you
heard
.
Then
the
princesse
hauing
hir
helme
on
,
she
put
hir selfe
before
these
men
,
béecause
they
should
not
come
vnto
the
damsell
,
who
would
not
withdraw
themselues
,
but
perforce
would
haue
layde
holde
vpon
the
Damsell
,
wherewith
the
Princesse
with
hir
Speare
stroke
one
of
them
therewith
,
that
shée
gored
him
cleane
through
,
and
〈◊〉
fell
downe
dead
vnto
the
ground
.
Then
one
of
the
other
offered
to
strike
at
the
princes
with
a
great
fauchon
that
he
had
in
his
hand
,
who
perceiuing
it
,
spurred
hir
horse
ouer
him
,
who
tore
him
all
to
péeces
vnder
his
feete
,
and
slew
him
,
and
offering
to
strike
the
other
with
hir
speare
,
hée
tooke
his
legges
and
ran
so
fast
as
euer
hee
could
the
way
hee
came
.
Then
the
Damsell
béeing
at
libertie
,
the
Princesse
demanded
of
hir
what
was
the
occasion
that
those
men
did
follow
and
pursue
hir
?
Ah
sir
,
sayd
the
Damsell
,
doo
you
returne
with
all
spéede
backe
againe
the
way
you
came
,
and
make
no
longer
tarriaunce
in
this
place
,
for
if
you
bée
taken
it
is
not
possible
that
you
should
liue
any
longer
.
Tell
mée
first
the
occasion
why
,
sayde
the
Princesse
,
then
afterward
I
will
doo
that
which
séemeth
best
vnto
mee
.
Sir
knight
(
said
the
damsell
)
héere
beefore
goeth
a
giant
,
the
greatest
and
most
furious
that
euer
was
séene
by
men
,
who
with
more
then
twentie
knights
in
his
company
,
doth
carrie
prisoner
the
Queene
of
Hiberia
,
with
the
Princesse
Theophilia
hir
daughter
,
and
〈◊〉
more
Ladies
and
Damsells
of
hirs
,
who
by
force
this
infernall
Gyant
did
take
away
from
the
King
Hiberia
,
and
more
then
fortie
Knights
of
his
,
who
were
passing
away
the
time
abroad
in
a
verie
delightfull
forrest
,
this
Gyaunt
did
put
vs
all
together
into
a
Ship
of
his
,
and
hath
brought
vs
hether
prisoners
,
carrying
vs
into
a
Castle
which
is
there
a
little
beefore
,
from
whence
I
came
running
away
,
and
it
séemeth
vnto
mée
better
to
dye
in
the
handes
of
them
that
shall
follow
mée
,
then
to
bée
prisoner
in
the
power
of
that
infernall
Gyant
.
The
Damsell
finishing
these
woords
,
shee
receyued
so
great
feare
,
that
the
Princesse
could
not
stay
hir
,
but
more
by
force
then
with
hir
good
will
,
shée
caused
hir
to
returne
againe
in
hir
companie
the
way
which
shée
came
,
in
which
they
had
not
trauayled
verie
farr●…
,
when
they
saw
comming
towards
them
tenne
Knights
as
fast
as
their
horses
could
runne
,
who
beeing
aduertised
by
him
that
ran
away
,
they
came
in
the
demaund
of
the
Knight
which
had
slayne
the
other
two
men
.
And
when
they
saw
them
,
by
the
signes
and
tokens
that
the
man
had
giuen
them
,
they
vnderstood
that
it
should
bee
the
Princesse
,
then
all
together
with
theyr
swoords
in
theyr
hands
they
ranne
against
hir
,
but
shée
receiued
them
in
such
sort
,
that
shee
receiued
no
harme
of
their
encounters
,
but
she
stroke
one
of
them
so
right
,
that
the
poynt
of
hir
speare
came
foorth
at
his
back
,
and
fell
downe
dead
to
the
ground
,
and
breaking
hir
speare
with
that
encounter
,
shée
drew
out
hir
swoord
and
béegan
to
combat
with
them
,
and
dyd
so
béehaue
hir selfe
,
that
in
a
short
time
shée
had
slaine
the
one
halfe
of
them
,
and
although
those
Knights
did
charge
hir
verie
much
with
their
strong
blowes
,
yet
by
reason
that
hir
armour
was
so
good
,
shée
was
in
great
security
not
to
receiue
any
wound
,
by
reason
whereof
,
without
all
feare
shée
put
hir selfe
amongst
them
,
striking
such
mortall
blowes
,
that
it
was
wonderfull
to
beholde
,
and
neuer
rested
till
shee
had
slaine
all
saue
two
,
who
seeing
the
great
force
&
strength
of
the
Princesse
,
durst
not
tarrie
any
longer
,
but
returned
the
way
they
came
as
fast
as
theyr
Horsses
could
r●…nne
.
The
Damsell
at
this
time
would
verie
fayne
haue
had
the
Princesse
returne
backe
againe
,
and
not
haue
gone
any
farther
,
but
hir
couragious
and
valyaunt
stomacke
would
not
consent
therevnto
,
but
followed
the
other
in
that
way
they
went
.
After
they
had
trauayled
in
that
way
a
small
space
,
they
discouered
vpon
the
top
of
a
high
Rocke
a
Castle
,
very
great
and
full
of
towers
,
and
compassed
about
with
a
very
strong
wall
,
and
comming
nigh
vnto
the
same
they
saw
come
foorth
of
the
gate
a
Gyant
,
the
greatest
and
tallest
that
euer
they
saw
in
all
theyr
liues
,
and
mounted
vpon
a
great
and
mightie
courser
,
&
in
his
companie
more
then
ten
Knights
,
who
came
that
way
wherein
the
Princesse
trauayled
,
but
as
soone
as
the
Damsell
of
the
Quéene
had
spyed
them
,
shee
had
no
desire
to
stay
,
but
returned
back
againe
the
way
she
came
as
fast
a●…
hir
palfray
could
runne
,
but
the
Princesse
who
receiued
no
feare
of
the
Gyaunt
nor
of
his
Knights
,
kept
〈◊〉
hir
way
towards
them
,
and
when
the
Gyaunt
came
nigh
vnto
hir
,
with
a
hoarse
and
hollow
voyce
hée
sayd
:
Oh
foolish
and
vnhappie
knight
,
how
is
it
,
knowing
that
I
am
Orbion
,
and
hauing
slaine
my
knights
,
thou
durst
be
so
bold
and
haue
so
great
courage
to
tarry
and
abide
my
comming
,
it
dooth
gréeue
mee
for
the
anger
which
thou
hast
giuen
mée
,
for
that
it
will
bée
vnto
thee
a
great
honour
to
bée
slaine
at
my
hands
,
and
I
smally
satisfied
for
the
death
of
my
Knights
,
in
taking
away
thy
lyfe
.
Far
more
foolish
and
vnhappie
,
maist
thou
account
thy selfe
Gyant
,
saide
the
Princesse
,
if
thou
didst
know
thy selfe
,
knowing
that
god
is
in
the
heauens
to
punish
all
euill
déedes
,
and
how
darest
thou
be
so
bold
to
vse
so
great
euil
and
●…illany
.
Therefore
out
of
hand
make
recompence
of
all
this
euill
which
thou
hast
done
,
and
set
at
libertie
all
those
which
thou
hast
prisoners
in
thy
Castle
,
if
thou
wilt
that
the
diuine
iustice
bee
not
executed
on
thee
this
day
.
The
proude
Gyant
when
hée
heard
those
woords
was
so
full
of
anger
&
wrath
,
that
a
thicke
smoake
came
out
of
his
Beauer
,
and
without
answering
any
woord
hée
turned
about
his
horse
,
and
with
his
Speare
in
his
hand
hée
came
against
the
Princesse
,
saying
:
Oh
if
the
high
Gods
were
so
pleased
,
that
the●…
wert
that
great
Siracusano
and
Achilles
the
Greeke
,
io●…utly
with
Hector
of
Troy
,
that
all
three
together
I
might
depriue
them
of
theyr
〈◊〉
,
wherewith
I
might
somwhat
ass
wage
this
my
great
wrath
and
anger
.
This
valiant
&
worthy
Princesse
did
not
refuse
that
terrible
and
cruel
encounter
of
that
furious
Gyant
,
but
with
hir
speare
in
hir
hand
went
foorth
to
méet
him
,
and
meeting
togyther
in
theyr
first
course
,
the
Gyaunt
encountered
with
the
Princesse
in
the
midst
of
all
hir
body
with
so
great
strength
,
that
if
hir
armour
had
not
beene
made
by
the
art
of
the
Queene
of
Pantafilia
,
it
had
not
béen
possible
for
hir
to
haue
escaped
death
,
for
if
hee
had
made
that
encounter
against
two
other
Knights
,
hee
had
surelie
yearced
them
through
,
and
for
that
the
force
of
hir
fine
armour
would
not
consent
to
be
broken
,
the
head
of
his
spear●…
glaunced
on
the
one
side
,
and
the
staffe
was
sheeuered
all
t●…
péeces
,
in
such
sort
that
the
princesse
〈◊〉
cleere
of
that
encounter
,
but
shée
made
hir
encounter
with
so
great
force
again●…
she
Gyant
,
that
chancing
on
the
one
side
vnder
his
arme
,
it
perced
him
through
his
harneis
,
&
hir
speare
appeared
more
then
halfe
on
the
other
side
,
making
a
little
wound
,
and
by
force
of
that
strong
encounter
,
his
horse
was
ouerthrowen
to
the
ground
,
&
in
his
fall
one
of
his
legs
chaunced
vnder
his
Horse
,
in
such
sort
,
that
by
any
meanes
hée
could
not
mooue
himselfe
,
&
as
the
princesse
would
haue
returned
vpon
him
,
all
the
Gyants
knights
came
against
hir
,
and
compassed
hir
round
about
,
and
charged
hir
with
mightie
blows
on
euery
side
,
but
when
shee
saw
hir selfe
in
that
necessitie
,
shee
drew
out
hir
sword
,
and
in
a
small
time
gaue
them
to
vnderstand
hir
great
bountie
,
and
stroke
at
them
such
blows
,
that
they
durst
not
come
nigh
hir
,
at
which
time
shée
had
ouerthrowen
and
slaine
more
then
halfe
,
in
all
which
time
the
Gyaunt
could
not
by
any
meanes
cléere
his
leg
from
vnder
his
horse
,
and
if
so
bee
that
any
of
his
Knights
alighted
to
help
him
,
the
princesse
was
presently
with
him
and
slew
him
,
so
that
all
the
b●…ttayle
was
with
his
Knights
,
and
this
valyaunt
princesse
had
so
great
confidence
in
hir
excellent
and
strong
armour
,
that
shee
put
hir selfe
amongst
them
,
as
the
r●…utshing
Wolfe
amongst
the
poore
and
simple
lambs
,
and
shée
neuer
stroke
blow
but
shee
dyd
kill
or
sore
wound
a
Knight

There
was
not
as
yet
full
an
houre
passed
since
the
beeginning
of
the
battayle
,
when
this
royall
Princesse
had
slayne
the
most
part
of
the
Knights
,
and
the
rest
which
remained
●…eeing
much
amazed
at
hir
mortall
blowes
,
ranne
away
,
so
that
she
remained
all
alone
in
the
field
with
the
Gyant
,
and
〈◊〉
hir selfe
cléere
from
all
those
knights
,
with
a
trise
shée
〈◊〉
from
hir
horse
,
and
giuing
the
bridle
to
one
of
hir
〈◊〉
,
shee
went
vnto
the
Gyaunt
,
who
was
blaspheming
●…gainst
his
gods
,
in
seeing
his
knights
slaine
beefore
his
eies
,
●…nd
could
not
help
them
,
but
the
first
thing
which
this
royall
〈◊〉
did
,
shée
tooke
the
horse
off
his
leg
,
and
did
help
him
〈◊〉
arise
●…rom
the
ground
,
saying
:
Orbion
,
heere
thou
shalt
〈◊〉
how
little
the
force
of
man
auaileth
,
when
they
〈◊〉
forgotten
of
God
,
&
for
their
euill
works
they
lack
diuine
〈◊〉
:
Tarry
a
little
,
said
the
Gyaunt
,
for
as
yet
I
am
not
at
the
poynt
to
acknowledge
this
,
and
there
with
hée
drew
out
a
mightie
great
and
broad
Fauchon
,
and
went
against
the
Princesse
,
and
stroke
hir
such
a
blow
vpon
the
healme
,
that
it
sounded
throughout
all
the
Ualley
,
and
if
it
had
not
beene
verie
good
and
of
great
force
,
both
head
and
body
hée
had
clouen
cleane
a
sunder
in
the
middest
,
and
for
all
that
it
made
hir
to
stoupe
with
hir
hands
vnto
the
ground
,
yet
dyd
not
this
worthie
Ladie
receiue
any
feare
,
but
rather
it
did
encrease
hir
force
and
courage
,
wherewith
shée
returned
vnto
him
,
&
stroke
him
such
an
ouerthwart
blow
vppon
his
leg
,
that
it
cut
both
harneys
and
flesh
vnto
the
hard
bone
,
whereat
ranne
out
great
abundaunte
of
blood
,
then
the
Gyaunt
retourned
againe
with
great
fury
for
to
strike
the
Princesse
vpon
the
healme
,
pretending
with
that
blow
to
conclude
the
battayle
béetweene
them
,
but
shée
taking
warning
by
the
first
which
shée
receiued
,
with
great
lightnesse
dyd
cleere
hir selfe
from
the
fury
thereof
,
and
his
blow
descended
downe
to
the
ground
,
that
the
fauchon
entered
into
the
earth
almost
vp
to
the
hilts
,
and
beefore
that
the
Gyaunt
could
pull
out
his
Fauchon
,
the
Princesse
cast
a
thrust
at
the
visor
of
his
healme
,
in
such
sort
,
that
chauncing
in
the
sight
,
it
passed
through
his
head
on
the
other
side
,
so
that
the
Gyant
fell
downe
dead
to
the
ground
.
This
béeing
done
,
the
Princesse
gaue
great
thancks
vnto
almightie
God
,
for
that
great
victorie
which
hée
had
granted
vnto
hir
,
and
mounting
vppon
hir
Hors●…
,
shée
tooke
hir
way
towards
the
Castle
,
and
when
shée
came
there
the
gates
were
opened
vnto
hir
,
for
that
the
small
companie
which
remayned
aliue
of
the
people
of
the
Gyant
,
receiued
greater
pleasure
then
sorrow
for
his
death
,
onely
for
his
euill
and
cruell
customes
and
confines
.
The
Princesse
straight
way
entered
in
,
and
called
for
the
keyes
of
all
the
Castle
,
and
demanded
where
the
Quéene
was
,
&
shee
was
brought
foorth●…
with
vnto
a
great
quadran
,
whereas
shée
found
the
Quéene
with
the
Princesse
Theophilia
,
and
all
their
Ladies
&
Gentlewomen
,
in
great
sorrow
and
heauinesse
,
without
any
hope
of
succour
,
who
when
they
heard
of
the
death
of
the
giant
&
of
all
that
had
passed
,
their
ioy
was
such
,
that
till
such
time
as
out
of
a
window
they
did
sée
him
dead
in
the
field
,
they
could
not
beléeue
it
.
And
as
the
princes
entred
in
wheras
the
queene
&
the
princesse
was
,
they
vnderstanding
what
she
had
done
in
their
deliuering
,
they
went
towards
hir
saying
:
Ualiant
&
worthy
knight
,
the
liuing
God
reward
thée
for
that
which
thou
hast
done
in
our
behalfe
,
&
héere
we
doe
most
hartely
pray
you
to
pull
of
your
healme
,
or
els
to
tell
vs
your
name
,
that
we
may
know
vnto
whom
we
are
bound
for
this
great
benefit
shewed
vnto
vs
.
Then
the
princes
the
more
to
glad
&
comfort
them
,
did
pull
of
hir
helme
,
&
did
declare
vnto
them
who
she
was
.
And
she
remained
so
faire
&
so
full
of
beautie
after
the
great
trauaile
that
she
had
passed
,
that
it
was
as
great
meruaile
to
behold
hir
,
as
Diana
in
breake
of
the
day
:
the
queene
&
the
princesse
were
greatly
amazed
at
that
great
wonder
,
&
looked
the
one
vpon
the
other
,
beleeuing
it
rather
to
be
a
dream
then
of
truth
,
all
that
which
they
saw
.
But
in
the
end
being
fully
satisfied
the
queene
and
the
princesse
did
imbrace
hir
,
giuing
hir
great
thanks
for
that
she
had
done
for
them
.
So
they
remained
there
all
the
rest
of
that
day
&
all
the
night
:
and
the
next
day
in
the
morning
the
princes
ordained
&
made
lord
of
that
castell
,
a
knight
of
the
giants
,
for
that
he
séemed
to
be
a
good
knight
,
&
the
quéene
&
the
princesse
with
all
their
ladies
&
gentlewomen
did
depart
from
thence
,
&
the
princesse
did
beare
them
company
vnto
the
port
.
And
in
the
way
as
they
went
,
they
met
with
the
damsell
that
ran
away
,
who
for
very
shame
would
not
come
in
presence
of
the
quéene
,
although
they
all
had
great
mirth
&
pastime
with
hir
,
for
the
small
confidence
she
had
in
the
princes
.
So
when
they
came
vnto
the
port
,
they
all
imbarked
themselues
in
the
same
ship
wherein
the
princes
came
into
that
country
:
&
hauing
the
time
&
wind
very
prosperous
,
the
next
day
they
ariued
at
Hiberia
,
&
they
had
not
all
fully
disimbarked
themselues
a
land
,
when
that
thether
came
the
King
with
more
then
two
thousand
knights
,
who
went
in
the
demaund
&
seeking
of
Orbion
,
whohad
caried
away
the
queene
,
&
when
he
met
them
ther
,
&
v●…derstood
of
them
all
that
had
passed
,
his
ioy
&
pleasure
was
such
,
as
to
the
iudgement
I
reter
me
:
but
when
he
was
fully
certified
by
the
quéene
who
the
knight
was
that
put
them
at
libertye
,
hée
went
towarde
the
princesse
,
&
said
:
Worthy
Lady
,
●…iue
me
your
royall
hands
that
I
may
〈◊〉
them
,
for
I
owe
it
vnto
you
for
this
great
benefit
shewed
vnto
mée
,
&
all
kings
&
princes
in
the
world
,
are
bound
vnto
your
great
highnesse
&
bounty
.
The
princesse
did
then
imbrace
him
saying
:
Unto
God
doo
I
giue
great
thanks
for
his
great
benefits
showed
vnto
me
,
in
that
he
hath
permitted
that
I
haue
done
this
great
seruice
vnto
the
quéene
&
vnto
the
princes
,
and
likewise
in
excusing
your
trauaile
begun
to
sake
out
Orbion
.
And
now
séeing
that
there
is
no
more
to
bee
done
héerein
,
in
your
seruice
,
I
doo
most
hartely
desire
you
to
giue
me
lisence
to
depart
,
for
that
I
haue
very
much
to
doo
in
other
places
.
And
so
very
much
against
the
kings
wil
,
he
tooke
leaue
of
hir
,
&
offred
himselfe
&
all
his
kingdome
at
hir
commandement
.
So
she
departed
from
them
&
tra●…ailed
eyght
daies
without
finding
any
aduenture
,
till
in
the
end
she
was
cleane
out
of
Hiberia
,
&
entred
into
another
kingdome
&
vpon
a
sodaine
at
such
time
as
the
knight
of
the
Sun
was
past
,
she
discouered
a
great
way
off
from
hir
,
a
mighty
army
o●…
knights
,
with
very
rich
tents
&

likewise

Chap.
48.
IN
the
kingdome
of
Lidia
,
was
not
the
knight
of
the
Sun
idle
,
neither
receiued
he
much
ease
in
the
time
that
he
was
there
,
for
that
calling
to
remembrance
the
imprisonment
of
his
friends
,
and
also
the
great
loue
which
hee
bare
vnto
the
princesse
Claridiana
,
whom
he
exceedingly
loued
,
&
also
vnto
the
faire
princesse
Lindabrides
,
was
the
occasion
that
he
could
not
take
any
rest
,
but
was
put
in
the
greatest
care
&
doubt
that
euer
he
had
in
all
his
life
.
Not
knowing
when
to
cleare
himselfe
of
that
which
he
had
promised
vnto
his
new
friend
,
the
king
Liseo
.
And
because
that
the
time
shuld
not
passe
away
〈◊〉
wares
.
The
next
day
after
the
battaile
as
the
history
hath
told
you
,
the
king
Liseo
,
determined
to
goe
foorth
againe
in
his
company
.
Then
the
knight
of
the
Sun
bid
request
him
very
much
,
to
let
him
that
day
goe
foorth
alone
,
for
that
they
should
haue
other
dayes
wherin
they
would
goe
foorth
both
together
.
The
which
the
king
Liseo
by
no
meanes
would
consent
therto
,
saying
:
that
first
he
would
consent
to
loose
all
his
kingdome
,
for
that
it
did
accomplish
him
so
to
●…ee
,
rather
then
to
consent
to
sée
him
in
the
camp
amongst
his
enimies
alone
.
But
the
knight
of
the
Sun
hauing
a
great
desire
to
goe
forth
alone
said
.
Héere
I
doo
sweare
vnto
you
my
good
Lord
,
that
if
you
doo
not
like
wall
héereof
,
that
I
will
leaue
all
your
friendship
,
the
which
I
doo
esteeme
very
much
,
&
depart
whereas
you
shall
neuer
heare
more
of
me
.
Then
the
king
when
hee
saw
him
so
determined
,
saide
:
My
good
friend
,
doo
your
pleasure
,
yet
consider
I
pray
you
what
pleasure
I
can
receiue
to
see
you
in
the
midst
of
mine
enimies
,
and
not
be
a
partner
of
your
paine
:
notwithstanding
séeing
you
are
therewith
content
,
I
will
not
contend
against
any
thing
you
will
command
.
So
this
valiant
Knight
béeing
armed
with
his
strong
and
rich
armour
,
and
mounted
vpon
his
horse
,
somwhat
before
that
the
S●…nne
had
any
sorce
,
hée
went
foorth
out
of
the
Citie
,
at
which
time
the
king
and
the
quéene
,
&
all
the
kinghts
and
Ladies
were
vpon
the
towers
of
the
citie
,
and
at
the
battlements
,
for
to
behold
&
see
what
should
passe
with
this
valyant
&
warlike
knight
,
who
before
that
he
came
into
the
camp
,
did
set
his
horne
vnto
his
mouth
&
did
blow
it
so
strong
and
loud
,
that
ther
was
no
knight
so
stout
in
all
the
camp
,
knowing
who
he
was
that
did
sound
it
,
but
his
hart
would
tremble
thereat
,
and
such
were
there
that
would
gladly
haue
giuen
all
that
they
had
,
vpon
condition
that
they
had
not
entred
into
the
kingdome
of
Lidia
,
although
to
the
contrary
ther
were
many
other
which
did
neuer
proue
his
blowes
,
&
were
very
valiant
&
stout
,
who
did
arme
themselues
,
and
at
the
commandement
of
the
king
they
went
forth
against
him
,
&
the
first
that
went
foorth
amongst
them
,
was
one
named
Alberro
,
&
borne
in
Seras
,
&
being
a
Knight
arraunt
,
he
came
in
company
with
the
king
of
Arcadia
to
those
parts
,
&
was
counted
for
one
of
the
most
valiauntest
knights
that
was
amongst
the
pagans
,
&
his
armour
was
so
excellent
good
and
made
by
such
art
that
ther
was
no
blow
of
sword
able
to
cut
it
,
who
was
mounted
vpon
his
horse
with
great
prid
and
arrogancy
,
and
went
towardes
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
and
without
any
other
salutation
or
curtesie
hee
said
:
It
shall
well
appeare
foolish
and
simple
knight
,
that
in
the
battaile
which
thou
hadst
in
this
field
,
thou
diddest
not
meete
any
enemie
so
valiant
as
I
am
,
for
if
thou
had●…t
yesterday
proued
and
felt
the
force
of
my
blowes
,
thou
wouldest
not
haue
returned
this
day
to
de●…ie
vs
with
so
great
boldnes
.
Well
said
the
knight
of
the
Sun
if
thou
hast
thy selfe
in
so
great
estimation
,
and
that
there
is
not
a
knight
in
all
the
campe
that
is
thy
equall
:
Wherefore
diddest
thou
not
yesterday
come
forth
and
make
resistance
,
seeing
I
made
so
great
slaughter
amongst
thy
companions
,
and
in
resisting
therof
thou
maist
well
vnderstand
and
know
that
ther
〈◊〉
no
more
in
thée
,
then
in
any
of
them
,
for
it
seemed
vnto
〈◊〉
great
villanie
to
be
so
many
against
thée
alone
,
sayde
〈◊〉
berro
,
but
now
that
wée
are
alone
together
I
will
〈◊〉
thee
to
vnderstand
that
it
is
true
all
that
I
haue
said
.
And
in
saying
these
words
both
of
them
turned
about
theyr
horses
,
with
their
speares
in
their
hands
,
&
made
their
encounter
the
one
against
the
other
,
with
so
great
swiftnes
of
their
horses
,
that
they
which
did
beehold
them
could
scarce
●…ary
the
sight
of
their
eies
after
them
,
&
their
encounter
was
with
so
great
force
&
strength
,
that
this
valiant
pagan
very
much
against
his
will
was
thrust
out
of
his
saddle
,
and
the
knight
of
the
Sun
passed
forwards
on
,
&
lost
one
of
his
stirrops
,
but
the
force
of
that
stronge
encounter
gréeued
him
very
much
,
and
he
was
not
well
setled
againe
in
his
saddle
,
when
there
came
foorth
to
iust
against
him
another
valiant
pagan
,
called
Pirro
,
&
brother
vnto
Alber●…o
,
no
lesse
valiant
&
prou●…
then
he
was
,
who
did
encounter
him
very
strongly
&
for
that
he
came
vpon
him
on
a
sodaine
,
and
stroke
him
vnawares
,
i●…
lac●…ed
very
little
to
haue
ouerthrowen
him
from
his
horse
out
of
his
〈◊〉
,
but
this
couragious
knight
framing
himselfe
very
strongly
with
his
swoord
in
his
hand
,
stroke
him
such
a
blow
vpon
his
helme
,
that
all
amazed
hée
〈◊〉
him
fall
forwards
vpon
the
sad●…le
pommell
,
&
as
hée
would
haue
stroken
another
blow
,
hée
heard
behind
him
a
great
noise
of
horses
,
&
turning
him
about
to
sée
what
it
shuld
be
,
he
saw
that
it
was
a
knight
that
came
to
encounter
him
,
with
a
big
speare
in
his
hand
behind
him
,
&
being
well
aduised
at
such
time
as
he
should
strike
him
with
his
speare
hée
put
himselfe
with
great
lightnes
on
the
one
side
,
&
cut
his
speare
a
sunder
in
the
middest
with
his
sword
,
&
the
knight
passed
forwards
on
without
dooing
any
more
harme
,
this
was
a
valiant
Moore
called
Gruto
,
and
borne
in
Africa
,
and
beeing
a
wandering
Knight
hée
came
in
that
countrye
,
in
the
company
of
the
●…ing
of
Arcadia
,
for
one
of
the
stoutest
and
most
valiantest
knightes
in
all
the
whole
army
,
whom
the
●…ing
sent
out
against
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
béeléeuing
that
with
the
ayde
and
helpe
of
the
others
they
should
ouercome
&
take
him
.
So
strayght
wayes
after
him
●…ame
another
knight
called
Breo
,
brothers
so●…ne
vnto
the
〈◊〉
▪
and
no
lesse
valiaunt
then
the
others
,
who
likewise
broke
his
speare
vpon
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
who
mooued
no
more
in
his
saddle
,
then
if
he
had
made
his
encounter
against
a
strong
tower
.
At
this
time
the
valiant
Alberro
was
mounted
againe
on
horseback
,
and
Pirro
was
come
againe
vnto
himselfe
,
so
that
they
two
in
company
with
Gruto
&
Breo
,
all
foure
together
with
their
swords
drawen
in
their
hands
assalted
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
began
to
charge
him
with
so
many
hard
blowes
,
that
it
had
ben
sufficient
to
haue
cut
&
broken
an
anfield
of
stéele
into
péeces
,
and
there
was
neuer
Knight
in
the
world
at
one
time
so
assaulted
as
the
knight
of
the
Sun
was
,
for
that
he
made
battaile
&
resistance
against
foure
of
the
most
valiauntest
knightes
that
were
in
all
the
country
of
the
pagans
,
&
such
,
that
either
of
them
were
sufficient
to
fight
against
twentye
knightes
,
but
this
was
that
knight
of
the
Sun
,
he
whom
all
Persia
&
Hungaria
,
and
all
the
whole
Empire
of
Greece
,
with
the
greatest
part
of
all
the
world
did
tremble
when
they
heard
him
named
,
and
he
who
with
his
great
bounty
did
bring
in
subiection
the
terrible
&
fearefull
keepers
of
the
castle
of
Lindaraza
,
&
he
whose
high
and
mighty
knighthood
is
such
,
as
neuer
was
heard
of
,
who
did
strike
&
charge
these
foure
knights
with
so
terrible
and
mightie
blowes
,
all
together
,
that
the
wide
fields
&
valleyes
,
with
the
sumptuous
workes
of
the
great
citie
,
with
the
timerous
noyse
of
that
cruell
battayle
was
full
with
the
sound
,
&
because
their
armour
was
of
so
great
excellency
,
that
no
sword
being
neuer
so
sharp
could
pearce
&
cut
them
,
all
the
whole
state
of
the
battaile
remayned
in
their
great
&
mightie
strengths
,
&
ouercharging
of
their
terrible
blowes
vpon
one
another
.
Then
the
stout
&
valiant
Alberro
,
who
shewed
himselfe
very
rigorous
in
the
battaile
,
when
hée
saw
that
the
king
of
Arcadia
,
&
all
the
whole
army
stoode
&
did
behold
them
,
&
seemed
to
bee
a
great
shame
&
rebuke
that
on
alone
knight
should
so
defend
&
maintaine
himselfe
against
foure
knights
,
&
such
as
they
were
,
with
his
sword
in
both
his
hands
he
stroke
him
such
a
blow
ouerthwart
the
visor
of
his
helme
,
and
because
his
mighty
cutting
sword
could
not
enter
ther
in
,
yet
it
tooke
away
the
sight
of
his
eies
,
&
ther
flew
so
many
sparks
of
fire
out
therat
,
that
it
séemed
the
whole
helme
,
to
burne
ther
with
,
but
yet
for
all
that
this
valiant
warriour
was
nothing
amazed
or
astonied
thereat
,
but
procuring
to
giue
him
his
payment
for
the
same
,
stroke
him
so
terrible
a
blow
,
that
out
of
all
remembrance
he
made
him
fall
backewards
vpon
his
horse
crouper
,
&
his
horse
caried
him
round
about
the
field
,
voiding
at
his
mouth
&
nose
great
abundance
of
blood
.
But
when
his
brother
Pirro
saw
that
,
beléeuing
that
he
had
ben
slaine
,
hée
stroke
such
a
blow
at
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
that
he
made
him
to
loose
the
raines
of
his
horse
bridle
,
&
was
therwith
som
what
astonied
,
&
béeing
not
fully
cleere
from
the
fury
thereof
,
when
that
the
stout
Breo
stroke
him
another
blow
vpon
his
hard
healme
,
that
the
noise
&
sound
therof
was
heard
a
good
way
▪
&
the
knight
of
the
Sun
so
ouercharged
therwith
,
that
he
declined
with
his
head
downe
to
his
horse
neck
,
&
as
Gruto
came
vnto
him
to
strike
him
an
other
blow
,
thinking
therby
to
ouerthrow
him
out
of
his
saddle
,
with
great
lightnes
he
raised
himselfe
againe
,
&
with
the
great
ire
the
which
hee
had
,
hee
stroke
such
an
ouerthwart
blow
at
Alberro
with
both
his
hands
in
the
midst
of
all
his
body
,
that
be
all
to
brused
his
armour
,
&
with
the
great
force
therof
he
broke
his
ribs
&
his
gall
within
his
body
,
in
such
sort
,
that
hée
fell
from
his
horse
downe
to
the
ground
:
Oh
how
much
was
the
great
sorow
&
griefe
which
the
king
receiued
when
he
saw
that
terrible
and
wonderfull
blow
,
for
that
his
cosin
was
very
rich
&
a
knight
that
was
best
beloued
aboue
all
other
knights
that
he
had
and
also
for
that
he
conceiued
within
his
mind
,
that
if
that
knight
should
endure
long
,
that
hée
would
not
leaue
one
knight
aliue
in
all
the
whole
camp
that
is
of
any
reputation
.
So
with
the
great
griefe
which
the
losse
of
his
knights
caused
him
to
haue
,
with
a
trise
he
caused
himselfe
to
be
armed
with
his
strong
armour
,
which
was
a
finger
thick
of
very
fine
stéele
,
and
so
good
as
any
was
in
all
the
world
,
and
being
mounted
on
a
strong
&
light
horse
he
went
out
of
the
camp
with
his
speare
in
his
hand
,
saying
:
Oh
that
my
fortune
wer
so
good
,
that
as
I
go
against
this
valiant
knight
,
I
might
make
battaile
against
all
my
false
gods
,
in
whom
I
haue
beleeued
&
put
my
confidence
,
for
if
they
were
all
against
me
,
&
they
were
knights
in
this
world
,
I
think
verily
to
ouercome
them
all
,
&
make
them
to
know
&
vnderstand
that
the
power
&
strength
of
this
knight
is
much
more
then
theirs
.
The
king
had
not
fully
concluded
in
saying
these
words
,
when
the
valiant
Pirro
with
one
blow
that
the
knight
of
the
Sun
gaue
him
with
his
swoord
,
fell
from
his
horse
as
though
hée
had
béene
dead
,
but
when
the
King
saw
that
,
with
wonderfull
force
he
went
towards
him
,
&
with
a
great
&
broad
fauchon
in
his
hand
he
stroke
the
knight
of
the
Sun
vpon
the
helme
,
that
it
tooke
way
the
sight
of
his
eyes
,
&
depriued
him
of
his
vnderstanding
,
and
his
horse
caried
him
a
while
about
the
field
,
for
you
shall
vnderstand
that
the
king
of
Arcadia
was
so
stout
&
couragious
a
knight
,
that
neuer
any
knight
with
whom
he
did
make
battaile
with
,
could
endure
with
him
a
whole
day
in
the
field
,
&
was
of
great
fame
and
feared
amongst
the
pagans
,
but
yet
he
did
not
goe
away
boasting
himselfe
of
this
blow
,
for
the
knight
of
the
Sun
before
the
king
could
strike
him
the
second
,
returned
&
came
again
to
himself
,
&
set
spurs
vnto
his
horse
,
&
came
running
against
the
king
like
a
whirle
wind
,
&
with
his
swoord
in
both
his
hands
he
stroke
him
such
a
blow
vpon
his
healme
,
that
hée
made
him
to
fall
forwards
vpon
his
horse
necke
,
&
the
blood
ran
out
both
at
his
mouth
&
nose
,
and
his
horse
carried
him
round
about
the
field
out
of
his
remembrance
,
as
though
he
had
ben
dead
,
at
which
time
Alberro
was
come
againe
to
himselfe
,
and
he
and
Gruto
together
did
terribly
assault
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
chargeing
him
with
great
and
heauye
blowes
,
the
which
he
felt
and
grieued
him
very
much
for
though
his
armour
did
defend
him
from
wounding
,
yet
for
all
that
it
could
not
excuse
him
,
but
that
his
flesh
must
haue
béene
very
fore
brused
with
those
mighty
&
strong
blowes
,
and
it
had
beene
better
for
him
to
haue
contended
agaynst
the
whole
armie
,
then
against
those
foure
knights
,
for
that
béeing
embraced
with
a
great
number
,
the
valiant
knights
could
neuer
haue
so
good
opportunity
to
execuse
their
mightie
blowes
vpon
him
,
but
in
such
sort
these
valyaunt
Pagans
did
so
charge
him
,
that
hée
felt
himselfe
sore
troubled
,
but
yet
for
all
this
,
not
faynting
nor
loosing
one
point
of
his
courage
,
but
rather
increasing
more
and
more
,
did
so
béehaue
himselfe
with
those
two
stout
Pagans
,
that
in
a
small
time
hée
had
ouercome
them
,
if
the
king
of
Arcadia
had
not
come
againe
to
himselfe
,
and
Pirro
mounted
againe
vpon
his
Horse
,
who
séeing
themselues
so
euill
intreated
,
with
great
fury
and
courage
they
went
to
help
theyr
companyons
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
at
that
time
their
battell
was
more
kindled
and
better
foughten
then
it
was
in
all
the
day
beefore
,
for
when
these
stout
Pagans
saw
themselues
all
foure
together
,
theyr
courage
and
force
did
the
more
increase
,
and
héerein
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
was
nothing
behinde
them
,
for
the
more
they
did
charge
him
,
the
more
his
strength
increased
.
At
this
time
it
was
more
then
three
houres
since
their
battaile
béegan
,
without
taking
any
rest
either
of
them
,
and
those
that
beeheld
them
waxed
wearie
,
and
likewise
the
Pagans
meruailously
tormented
with
the
mightie
blowes
which
they
had
receiued
,
and
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
more
angrie
&
wrathfull
then
hée
was
all
the
day
beefore
,
and
his
anger
did
so
far
exceede
,
and
his
force
so
much
increase
,
that
at
one
blow
he
ouerthrew
the
stout
Gruto
to
the
ground
,
and
with
an
other
blow
he
ouerthrew
Pirro
,
but
the
valiant
Berro
stroke
him
so
strong
a
blow
vpon
his
helme
,
that
hée
made
him
to
stoupe
&
decline
his
head
to
his
horse
neck
,
but
he
made
no
brags
therof
,
for
that
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
returned
his
payment
with
so
great
furie
and
force
,
that
buckling
his
helme
,
&
breaking
therewith
all
to
●…éeces
the
skull
of
his
head
,
hée
ouerthrew
him
dead
to
the
ground
,
and
with
a
trise
hee
turned
vpon
the
king
of
Arcadia
,
who
was
comming
against
him
to
strike
him
,
and
strok
him
such
an
ouerthwart
blow
on
the
one
side
,
that
he
ouerthrew
him
on
the
other
side
.
Then
this
valiant
and
worthy
knight
without
any
longer
staying
amongst
them
,
but
with
as
great
fury
as
a
whirle
wind
he
put
himselfe
in
the
midst
of
the
whole
armie
,
and
wounded
&
slew
so
many
,
that
al
the
way
wheras
hée
went
,
hée
left
it
full
of
dead
bodies
,
so
that
ther
was
not
one
in
all
the
camp
that
durst
make
resistance
against
him
,
but
passed
through
amongst
them
,
as
commonly
the
bayted
Bull
,
beeing
well
pricked
with
darts
dooth
passe
through
a
company
of
men
.
At
this
time
the
day
passed
away
,
and
night
came
on
,
and
this
valiant
Knight
somwhat
wearie
with
wounding
and
killing
of
Pagans
,
all
to
bée
brued
with
blood
hée
departed
out
of
the
Camp
,
and
without
any
following
him
he
came
vnto
the
gates
of
the
citie
,
the
which
were
straight
wais
opened
,
and
hée
found
at
the
entrie
in
therat
,
the
king
Lyseo
▪
all
armed
in
a
readinesse
to
goe
foorth
in
his
aide
and
help
,
if
hée
were
driuen
to
any
necessitie
,
of
whom
hée
was
receiued
with
great
ioy
&
pleasure
,
and
the
gates
béeing
shut
,
they
went
vnto
the
pallace
,
whereas
with
great
mirth
and
ioy
they
were
receiued
by
the
quéene
,
and
supped
together
with
great
ioy
and
pleasure
,
and
tooke
their
ease
all
that
night
,
and
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
determined
not
to
goe
foorth
other
two
daies
to
the
battaile
.
How
Rodaran
came
to
land
,
and
by
great
aduenture
hee
came
vnto
the
kingdome
of
Lidia
.
Chapter
49.
WIth
great
pride
did
this
Pagan
Rodaran
nauigate
by
sea
with
his
rich
pray
of
the
prisoners
which
hee
carryed
,
for
to
present
them
beefore
the
Emperour
of
Tartaria
,
who
was
no
lesse
endued
with
wisedome
&
patience
,
than
with
force
and
strength
,
for
to
suffer
that
terrible
and
cruell
blow
of
Fortune
,
alwaies
abiding
the
good
houre
that
fortune
would
vse
vpon
them
,
and
as
so
many
knights
as
well
in
vertue
as
in
prowesse
,
was
not
wholie
forgotten
of
God
,
as
appeared
héere
at
this
present
,
for
that
hée
did
ordaine
theyr
fortune
in
such
sort
,
that
the
ship
in
the
which
they
were
carried
,
and
dyd
ariue
in
the
Kingdome
of
Phrigia
,
and
for
that
it
was
the
right
way
to
goe
vnto
Tartaria
,
Rodaran
and
the
Quéene
went
a
land
,
and
commaunded
that
the
prisoners
lykewise
should
bée
taken
out
of
the
ship
,
who
were
all
bound
in
chaynes
,
so
that
they
were
carryed
very
strongly
and
in
good
order
.
So
in
this
sort
they
trauailad
fiue
daies
without
happening
any
thing
vnto
them
worth
the
telling
,
in
the
ende
of
the
which
they
came
into
the
Kingdome
of
Lidia
,
and
came
in
the
sight
of
the
camp
of
the
King
of
Arcadia
,
and
Rodaran
demaunded
whose
armie
that
same
was
,
and
it
was
declared
vnto
him
the
truth
thereof
,
who
receiued
great
ioy
and
contentment
therat
,
for
that
the
king
of
Arcadia
was
a
very
great
friend
of
his
,
for
béeing
in
the
Court
of
the
Emperour
of
Tartaria
,
and
a
trauailing
knight
,
he
had
great
acquaintance
and
frequentation
with
him
,
and
hauing
great
desire
to
sée
him
,
and
giue
him
vnderstanding
of
his
pray
the
which
he
carried
,
hée
sayd
vnto
the

hée
would
go●…
vnto
him
for
to
sée
him
,
and
shée
thought
it
good
,
and
consented
thervnto
.
So
they
went
and
carried
their
prisoners
beefore
the
king
,
and
when
they
came
vnto
the
tent
of
the
king
of
Arcadia
,
they
alighted
from
theyr
horses
and
entered
in
●…herat
,
and
as
soone
as
hée
knew
that
it
was
Rodaran
,
with
●…reat
curtesie
&
pleasure
he
receiued
them
,
for
that
this
was
he
greatest
friend
he
had
in
all
the
world
.
And
when
hée
vnderstood
the
occasion
wherfore
he
came
into
those
parts
,
and
●…f
the
prisoners
hée
brought
with
him
,
the
King
very
glad
●…nd
ioyfull
caused
them
to
bée
brought
into
his
tent
,
wher●…
hée
honoured
them
very
much
,
and
gaue
Rodaran
to
vnderstand
of
all
that
euer
he
had
passed
and
done
in
the
king●…
of
Lidia
,
&
how
that
hée
had
brought
his
enterprise
vn●…
that
estate
,
that
hée
had
almost
taken
that
last
citie
,
and
●…w
that
there
was
come
to
help
them
a
Knight
,
the
most
●…liantest
&
strongest
that
euer
in
all
his
life
hée
had
séene
,
and
gaue
to
vnderstand
of
all
that
hée
hath
done
,
in
thrée
times
that
hée
came
foorth
to
battaile
with
his
people
,
at
the
which
Rodaran
was
greatly
amazed
,
and
as
one
that
all
rancour
and
mallaice
was
not
cleane
rooted
out
of
him
,
hée
had
great
desire
to
sée
that
knight
,
and
to
combat
with
him
,
beleeuing
that
he
should
conclude
and
make
an
ende
of
that
which
the
whole
armie
beefore
could
not
dooe
.
So
Rodaran
remayned
till
the
next
day
hoping
therein
to
sée
that
valyant
Knight
.
Whereat
the
King
of
Arcadia
receiued
great
ioy
&
contentment
,
thincking
that
if
hée
and
Rodaran
might
haue
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
béetwixt
them
,
that
hee
could
not
by
any
meanes
escape
,
but
either
be
slaine
or
taken
prisoner
.
In
this
sort
they
passed
away
that
day
,
and
the
night
with
great
pleasure
,
although
it
was
vnto
the
prisoners
ouer
much
sorrow
and
griefe
,
alwaies
with
patience
abiding
the
good
houre
of
Fortune
.
How
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
went
out
the
third
time
into
the
camp
of
the
king
of
Arcadia
,
&
what
happened
therein
.
Chapter
50.
THE
next
day
after
that
Rodaran
came
into
the
Kings
Camp
,
the
knight
of
the
Sun
was
determined
to
go
out
into
the
field
,
with
the
great
desire
he
had
to
cléere
himselfe
of
that
enterprise
,
for
to
returne
again
into
Greece
,
as
well
to
combat
with
Rodaran
,
as
to
recreate
himselfe
with
his
Ladies
,
the
absence
of
whom
was
vnto
him
no
small
griefe
:
likewise
hée
was
put
in
great
perplexity
and
care
,
for
that
according
vnto
the
great
number
of
people
which
the
king
of
Arcadia
had
with
him
in
his
Camp
,
it
was
not
possible
for
him
to
cléere
himselfe
so
soone
as
hée
thought
hée
should
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
very
earely
in
the
morning
,
beefore
the
Sunne
did
shew
hir selfe
this
valiant
warriour
béeing
armed
with
his
rich
&
strong
armour
,
and
mounted
vpon
his
great
and
light
horse
,
with
a
mighty
s●…eare
well
steeled
in
his
hand
,
hée
went
out
of
the
Citie
,
and
very
much
against
the
will
of
the
King
Lyseo
,
whom
hée
caused
to
tarrie
within
the
Citie
in
a
readinesse
,
for
to
come
foorth
to
ayde
and
help
him
,
if
any
cause
of
necessity
did
call
him
,
and
to
giue
him
his
whole
contentment
hée
would
not
say
any
thing
agaynst
him
that
his
pleasure
was
to
dooe
.
So
when
this
couragious
Knight
came
vnto
the
Camp
,
hée
blew
his
horne
with
so
great
strength
,
that
it
was
heard
throughout
all
those
wide
and
broad
fields
,
and
put
great
feare
in
the
most
part
of
all
them
that
wer
in
the
Campe
,
for
that
there
were
very
few
of
them
that
had
any
securitie
,
falling
into
his
hands
.
Then
the
King
of
Arcadia
vnderstanding
the
demaund
of
the
Knight
,
dyd
straight
wayes
commaund
the
most
valiauntest
and
strongest
in
all
the
armie
to
arme
themselues
,
and
commaunded
to
set
thayres
without
the
doore
of
his
tent
,
whereas
hée
and
Rodaran
sat
downe
,
to
sée
and
beehold
from
thence
all
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
should
doo
.
It
was
not
long
after
that
there
went
out
of
the
Camp
a
valiaunt
Pagan
called
Alri●…o
,
who
was
mounted
vpon
a
mightie
great
Horse
,
and
armed
with
guilt
armour
,
●…ull
of
rich
precious
stones
,
which
certified
them
that
he
was
of
high
estate
,
and
went
towards
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
and
with
a
great
speare
in
his
hand
,
with
the
which
hée
gaue
him
a
verie
strong
encounter
,
in
such
sort
,
that
his
speare
was
sheeuered
all
to
péeces
,
and
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
thereat
made
no
mention
of
moouing
〈◊〉
his
saddle
,
but
he
made
his
encounter
so
strongly
against
●…is
enimie
,
that
by
reason
of
the
stiffenesie
of
his
Speare
,
●…nd
the
fineneste
of
the
others
armour
,
that
would
not
content
to
bée
broken
,
with
the
force
of
that
blow
hee
was
hoi●…d
out
of
his
saddle
,
and
throwen
ouer
the
horse
crouper
to

ground
,
tenne
p●…ces
from
his
horse
,
and
the
blow
chaun●…ed
vnder
his
breast
in
such
sort
,
that
beefore
hée
came
vnto
●…e
ground
his
breath
was
gone
,
and
hée
starke
dead
,
and
though
at
this
blow
all
the
Pagans
wondered
great●…
▪
yet
for
all
that
came
foorth
another
Knight
,
no
lesse
ar●…gant
and
proude
then
valiant
,
who
at
the
first
encounter
〈◊〉
beare
Alrifo
companie
.
Then
after
him
came
foorth
ten
knights
together
,
of
the
valiantest
and
strongest
that
were
in
all
the
whole
armie
,
all
the
which
this
valiant
and
worthie
warriour
dyd
ouerthrow
to
the
ground
some
starke
dead
,
and
other
some
so
euil
intreated
and
brused
with
theyr
falls
,
that
afterward
they
would
serue
to
vse
no
armour
▪
And
this
béeing
done
,
there
was
not
one
Knight
in
all
the
camp
that
was
of
so
great
force
that
durst
go
foorth
to
combat
with
him
,
so
that
he
was
there
t●…rrieng
a
good
while
to
see
if
any
would
come
foorth
against
him
.
All
this
béeing
séene
by
Rodaran
,
and
how
that
there
was
none
that
durst
take
vpon
him
the
enterprise
,
with
a
trise
hée
causee
himself
to
bée
armed
with
his
strong
armour
,
and
béeing
mounted
vppon
his
big
and
light
Horse
,
with
a
great
Speare
in
his
hand
hée
went
foorth
agaynst
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
who
when
hée
saw
him
comming
so
big
and
well
membred
,
hée
had
him
in
estim●…tion
to
bée
a
very
good
knight
,
and
choosing
himselfe
a
good
Speare
,
amongst
a
great
number
which
hee
caused
to
bée
brought
out
of
the
Citie
,
hee
did
abide
the
comming
of
Rodaran
,
who
when
he
came
nigh
vnto
him
,
he
said
.
Thou
shalt
vnderstand
,
sir
Knight
,
that
I
am
newly
come
into
this
camp
,
and
hearing
very
much
spoken
of
the●…e
thy

,
it
hath
giuen
mee
great
good
will
to
come
and
sée
part
thereof
,
and
for
that
according
vnto
that
which
I
haue
seene
thou
séemest
to
bée
a
good
knight
,
I
would
that
thou
wouldest
leaue
to

,
and
to

and
I
will
carrie

and
doo
so
much
that
the
King

shal

And

Then
the
Knight
of
〈◊〉
Sunne
,
who
receiued
better
contentment
at
his
gallant
d●…
position
,
then
any
pleasure
in
his
words
,
with
great
●…éeknesse
answered
him
and
sayde
.
Sir
knight
,
who
are
you
that
is
so
valiant
,
that
alone
doth
presume
to
dooe
with
mée
that
which
all
this
whole
armie
hath
not
had
power
to
accomplish
.
To
whom
hee
sayd
:
Hetherto
I
haue
not
denied
my
name
to
and
that
hath
demanded
it
of
me
,
neither
will
I
now
,
nor
●…rom
this
day
forwards
.
Neither
will
I
denie
mine
vnto
thee
,
said
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
.
Then
the
knight
said
:
Thou
shalt
vnderstand
that
I
am
Rodaran
,
King
of
Arabia
,
who
with
the
force
of
my
arme
thinke
to
flush
that
which
all
thi●…
whole
armie
haue
not
power
to
doo
.
Oh
how
ioyfull
was
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
when
hée
heard
those
woords
,
and
knowing
him
to
bée
that
Rodaran
,
and
the
person
which
in
all
the
world
hée
most
desired
to
meete
with
,
as
well
to
combat
with
him
,
as
to
know
of
the
imprisonment
of
his
brother
,
and
of
his
louing
friends
,
and
the
more
to
kéepe
himselfe
sacret
,
hee
sayd
:
Is
it
possible
that
thou
art
that
Rodaran
,
who
in
companie
with
the
Queene
Carmania
passed
into
Greece
,
to
combat
with
the
knights
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
.
To
whom
hée
aunswered
very
quickly
,
and
sayd
:
I
am
hée
,
and
more
thou
shalt
vnderstand
that
by
the
force
of
my
strong
arme
I
haue
prisoners
the
best
knights
that
are
in
all
Greece
,
and
likewise
the
Emperours
person
.
All
the
which
I
doo
bring
with
mée
in
my
companie
prisonrs
,
for
to
present
them
before
the
Emperour
of
Tartaria
,
to
dooe
with
them
all
that
his
pleasure
is
to
commaund
.
Then
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
without
making
any
tarryeng
,
but
as
glad
as
euer
hée
was
in
all
his
life
giuing
great
thankes
vnto
God
,
that
his
fortune
was
so
good
to
finde
Rodaran
at
that
instant
,
hee
set
Spurs
vnto
his
horse
and
turned
him
about
,
and
came
against
Rodaran
who
likewise
came
against
him
,
&
ran
against
one
another
with
so
great
fury
,
that
the
earth
seemed
to
shake
in
theyr
wift
course
,
&
in
the
midst
thereof
they
made
their
encounters
,
which
were
such
,
that
their
speares
were
broken
to
pée●…es
,
&
passed
by
one
another
without
receiuing
any
harme
,
&
●…rning
about
with
their
swords
in
their
hands
,
they
assal●…d
one
another
with
so
great
force
,
that
they
which
bée
held
〈◊〉
were
terrified
,
&
the
Knight
at
the
Sun
vnderstood
that
Rodaran
was
very
valiaunt
and
stout
.
Likewise
Rodaran
thought
not
that
hée
had
to
doo
with
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
but
when
hée
saw
how
stronglie
hée
dyd
strike
his
blowes
,
and
the
little
account
hée
made
of
his
blowes
,
with
great
sorrow
hée
sayd
vnto
himselfe
.
Oh
high
and
mightie
Gods
,
what
a
number
of
strange
meruailes
bee
there
in
this
world
,
for
that
I
thought
verily
there
was
not
any
that
was
able
to
bée
compared
vnto
mée
in
force
and
strength
,
and
yet
I
found
those
in
Greece
that
did
far
surmount
and
passe
mée
therein
,
and
béeléeuing
that
there
was
none
other
in
all
the
world
,
now
without
seeking
of
them
,
I
haue
met
with
one
,
with
whom
I
hope
of
n●…
other
remedie
,
but
to
bee
slayne
by
him
,
or
else
to
bee
ouercome
.
And
with
the
great
griefe
that
the
remembraunc●…
héereof
caused
vnto
him
,
hée
tooke
his
Swoord
in
both
hi●…
hands
,
and
stroke
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
so
strong
a
blo●…
vpon
his
helme
,
that
hee
tooke
away
the
sight
of
his
eyes
an●…
depriued
him
of
his
remembraunce
,
and
so
hee
remayned
●…
stoyned
a
little
space
,
and
beefore
that
Rodaran
had
an●…
time
to
strike
him
another
,
the
valyaunt
Knight
was
com●…
againe
vnto
himsele
,
and
with
great
wrath
he
stroke
Rodaran
such
an
ouerthwart
blow
on
the
one
side
of
his
healm●…
that
if
hée
had
not
clasped
himselfe
about
his
horse
necke
,
h●…
must
needes
haue
fallen
vnto
the
ground
,
and
hee
had
n●…
well
seteled
himselfe
agayne
in
his
saddie
,
when
hée
stro●…
him
another
right
downe
blow
vppon
his
Healme
with
great
strength
,
that
he
fell
downe
backwards
vpon
his
hor●…
crouper
,
cleane
out
of
all
remembraunce
,
and
his
horse
c●…
ryed
him
round
about
the
field
,
voyding
at
his
mouth
a●…
nose
great
abundaunce
of
blood
,
and
hee
was
so
long
béefo●…
hée
came
againe
vnto
himselfe
,
that
all
men
thought
hée
h●…
béene
dead
,
and
without
dooing
him
any
farther
harme
,
●…
Knight
of
the
Sunne
tarryed
till
hée
came
vnto
himselfe
gayne
.
When
the
King
of
Arcadia
saw
this
and
how
eu●…
his
friend
was
intreated
,
with
as
great
anger
as
thou●…
hée
would
haue
burst
,
with
a
trise
hée
was
armed
with
●…
thick
armour
,
and
mounted
vpon
a
mightie
great
●…
light
horse
he
went
out
of
the
camp
,
&
went
toward
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
without
taking
any
speare
,
but
with
his
great
&
broad
fanchon
he
stroke
at
him
so
heauy
&
strong
a
blow
,
that
it
grie●…ed
very
much
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
who
answered
him
with
the
like
,
that
all
the
wide
fields
were
full
with
the
sound
.
Then
the
prisoners
who
were
in
the
tent
of
the
king
,
&
very
much
amazed
to
heare
the
sound
of
so
terrible
a
blow
,
asked
of
them
that
were
in
the
tent
what
it
should
be
,
and
straight
waies
it
was
told
them
that
he
should
be
some
worthy
in
prowesse
that
could
maintaine
and
defend
himself
against
two
so
valiant
pagans
.
At
this
time
the
king
of
Arcadia
stroke
the
knight
of
the
Sun
so
terrible
a
blow
that
his
eares
were
tormented
with
the
sound
therof
,
&
lost
the
sight
of
his
eies
,
&
remained
astonied
a
good
while
,
although
it
was
not
so
long
that
the
King
had
space
to
strike
him
another
,
but
it
was
in
an
euill
houre
for
him
,
for
when
the
knight
of
the
Sun
came
againe
vnto
himselfe
,
all
kindled
in
wrath
&
with
more
fury
then
a
thunder-bolt
he
assaulted
the
king
,
&
with
both
his
hands
he
stroke
him
so
strong
a
blow
vpon
his
helme
,
that
as
one
that
were
dead
hée
ouerthrew
him
from
his
horse
to
the
ground
,
voiding
great
abundaunce
of
blood
out
of
his
eares
&
nose
,
at
which
time
the
knight
of
the
Sun
had
scarce
withdrawen
himselfe
from
giuing
of
that
blow
,
when
Rodaran
came
againe
vnto
himselfe
and
went
against
him
,
&
with
both
his
hands
he
gaue
him
such
a
mighty
blow
,
that
it
was
heard
a
great
way
off
,
&
the
knight
of
the
Sun
to
keepe
himselfe
from
falling
,
was
constrained
to
embrace
his
armes
about
the
horse
neck
,
&
felt
by
force
of
that
great
blow
that
Rodaran
was
both
strong
&
stout
,
but
for
so
much
as
at
that
instaunt
all
ire
and
wrath
did
remaine
in
him
,
with
one
alone
blow
hée
pretended
to
make
an
end
of
that
battayle
,
for
that
hee
thought
the
time
very
long
till
hée
kn●…w
some
newes
of
those
prisoners
his
deere
friendes
,
and
therewith
taking
his
swoord
in
both
his
hands
,
raysing
himselfe
in
his
stirroppes
,
changing
his
white
coulour
into
perfect
red
,
like
vnto
the
braue
&
ramping
lion
that
followeth
the
fearefull
Deere
,
euen
so
went
this
wrathfull
knight
against
Rodaran
,
&
stroke
him
a
blow
ouerthwart
his
helme
,
that
out
of
all
remembraunce
he
threw
him
as
dead
at
his
horse
feete
,
&
leauing
these
two
Pagans
in
such
sort
that
all
men
iudged
they
had
beene
dead
,
with
no
lesse
fury
then
a
whirle
wind
he
put
himselfe
in
the
camp
amongst
his
enemies
,
killing
&
wounding
all
that
euer
he
found
in
his
way
,
so
that
ther
was
none
that
made
any
resistance
against
him
,
but
they
all
ranne
away
before
him
,
that
he
found
no●…e
with
whom
to
fight
,
except
he
did
follow
them
to
ouertake
them
,
&
hee
thought
himselfe
most
happiest
that
was
farthest
of
from
him
.
In
this
sort
this
valiant
knight
pressed
into
the
camp
,
&
went
so
far
,
that
at
the
last
all
embrued
with
blood
of
them
which
hée
had
slain
,
hee
came
vnto
the
Tent
of
the
king
of
Arcadia
,
wheras
he
was
put
in
great
perplexitie
&
trouble
,
for
that
there
was
ioyned
together
many
stout
and
strong
knights
,
who
altogether
did
assault
him
very
strongly
,
but
he
féeling
the
great
resistance
that
ther
was
made
against
him
,
did
double
his
blowes
with
mortall
fury
,
that
his
force
did
appeare
to
he
more
at
that
time
,
then
it
was
in
all
the
day
before
.
All
this
time
of
the
battaile
from
the
beginning
that
the
knight
of
the
Sun
went
out
of
the
citie
vnto
that
instaunt
,
the
royall
princesse
Claridiana
was
beholding
the
same
,
for
that
this
was
the
contention
of
the
thrée
knights
that
she
staied
to
behold
,
at
such
time
as
the
history
did
leaue
hir
,
which
was
the
knight
of
the
Sun
combatting
with
Rodaran
and
the
king
.
Then
the
Princesse
drawing
more
nigher
,
did
straight
way
know
him
,
as
well
by
his
armour
&
horse
,
as
by
the
mightie
&
singuler
disposition
of
his
body
,
&
the
better
for
to
behold
his
high
knighthood
,
shée
sta●…ed
&
stoode
still
,
&
meruailed
very
much
at
that
which
she
saw
,
and
although
she
did
sée
it
before
hir
eies
,
yet
she
could
not
beléeue
it
,
and
said
.
It
is
not
possible
that
although
there
were
héere
those
two
captaines
of
the
mightie
Affrica
&
Scipion
,
&
with
them
Hercules
&
the
mightie
Sampson
,
that
all
they
together
were
not
sufficient
to
doo
that
which
this
alone
Knight
doth
on
his
enemies
.
Of
truth
I
haue
great
reason
for
to
loue
him
,
as
the
highest
&
most
precious
knight
in
all
the
world
.
And
in
saying
these
wordes
,
seeing
that
he
was
compassed
round
about
with
so
great
a
multitude
of
knights
she
stroke
hir
horse
with
the
spurs
with
so
great
fury
,
&
put
hir selfe
in
the
midst
of
the
camp
,
&
neuer
staied
till
such
time
as
she
came
wheras
the
knight
of
the
Sun
was
,
&
began
to
deale
such
blowes
,
that
she
made
his
enimies
to
run
away
.
At
which
sight
the
knight
of
the
Sun
was
put
in
great
admiration
,
&
could
not
imagine
who
that
valiant
Knight
should
bee
,
&
being
verie
ioyfull
of
so
good
aid
&
succour
,
he
put
himselfe
amongst
his
enemies
,
killing
&
ouerthrowing
so
many
,
that
they
all
ran
away
before
him
as
from
the
death
,
and
with
great
fauour
that
he
had
of
the
princes
,
and
the
valiantnesse
that
she
vsed
,
he
left
hir
at
the
doore
of
the
tent
,
&
alighted
from
his
horse
and
entred
in
,
&
stroke
such
mortall
blowes
at
them
that
he
met
,
that
he
made
them
all
to
retire
backwardes
,
&
to
put
themselues
into
another
roome
in
the
Tent
,
whereas
they
thought
better
to
defend
themselues
,
but
the
knight
of
the
Sun
with
terrible
furye
followed
after
them
,
and
with
a
few
blowes
hée
slew
sixe
or
seauen
of
them
in
presence
of
the
Emperour
and
all
the
rest
of
the
prisoners
that
were
with
him
,
who
were
greatly
amazed
at
such
a
sodaine
chaunce
,
not
knowing
what
it
should
be
,
and
very
much
meruayled
beholding
the
great
wonders
the
which
he
did
in
theyr
presence
,
but
when
in
beholding
they
knew
him
very
well
by
his
armour
,
&
by
the
mightinesse
of
his
person
(
although
hee
was
all
bathed
in
blood
)
I
cannot
heere
rehearse
the
great
ioy
&
pleasure
which
they
receiued
,
seeing
themselues
in
that
great
necessitie
,
&
vpon
a
sodaine
in
that
time
vnlooked
for
,
so
great
succour
,
surely
they
did
beléeue
that
he
was
〈◊〉
thether
by
the
power
of
almightie
God
.
And
as
yet
this
good
Knight
had
not
seene
them
,
for
that
he
was
occupied
in
disimbarking
himselfe
with
them
that
he
had
before
him
,
vpon
whom
he
stroke
such
mortall
blowes
,
that
some
of
them
he
cut
a
sunder
in
the
midst
,
and
other
some
he
cloue
down
to
the
teeth
,
&
others
to
their
brests
,
with
such
mortall
destruction
,
that
in
a
smal
time
ther
remained
not
one
of
all
their
enemies
aliue
in
the
tent
,
for
that
the
princes
Claridiana
did
worthely
defend
the
entry
,
in
wounding
&
killing
all
those
that
came
nigh
vnto
hir
.
At
this
time
because
the
king
Liseo
had
seene
all
that
the
knight
of
the
Sun
had
done
,
&
how
farre
hée
had
put
himselfe
in
amongst
his
enemies
,
hauing
great
desire
either
to
be
slaine
or
else
to
sée
an
end
of
his
liberty
,
all
such
as
were
within
the
citie
&
able
to
weare
armour
,
went
forth
to
aid
the
knight
of
the
sun
if
néede
so
required
,
they
put
themselues
amongst
their
euemies
,
defending
that
none
should
come
&
giue
succour
vnto
the
king
,
who
still
with
Rodaran
were
in
a
sound
&
from
themselues
,
&
as
they
came
al
forth
with
desire
to
die
or
to
be
at
liberty
,
like
mad
dogs
they
put
themselues
amongst
their
enemies
,
&
slew
many
of
them
,
but
in
especiall
the
good
king
Liseo
who
neuer
stroke
blow
,
but
that
he
slew
or
ouerthrew
a
knight
to
the
ground
,
&
by
reason
of
the
great
hurt
&
damage
which
they
of
the
camp
receiued
on
that
side
hauing
great
néed
of
aid
&
succour
,
they
all
did
leaue
the
battaile
at
the
tent
and
went
thether
,
although
there
remained
not
so
few
agaynst
the
Princesse
,
but
that
she
had
mough
to
doe
.
Now
when
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
was
cleere
of
his
enemies
,
he
saw
the
prisoners
wheras
they
were
in
a
corner
of
the
Tent
,
all
of
them
with
great
chaines
at
their
legges
,
and
knowing
them
,
on
the
one
part
he
shed
many
salt
teares
from
his
eies
,
for
to
see
so
high
and
mightie
Princes
brought
into
so
great
extremitie
,
and
on
the
other
part
he
was
as
ioyful
as
euer
he
was
in
all
his
life
,
because
his
fortune
was
so
good
to
bring
him
to
giue
them
their
liberty
,
and
lifting
vp
the
beauer
of
his
helme
,
he
went
and
knéeled
downe
before
the
Emperour
his
father
,
and
tooke
his
hand
and
kissed
them
,
but
the
emperour
with
a
tender
loue
,
more
then
of
a
father
,
in
shedding
many
teares
that
ranne
downe
by
his
chéekes
,
with
great
ioy
and
pleasure
he
did
embrace
him
,
saying
:
I
was
very
certaine
&
sure
,
my
welbeloued
son
,
that
we
should
not
lack
your
aid
&
succour
in
the
time
of
this
our
great
necessitie
,
&
heere
I
giue
great
thanks
vnto
the
soueraigne
creator
,
that
by
his
mightie
power
you
were
sent
at
this
time
to
giue
vs
liberty
.
Then
Rosicleer
and
all
the
rest
of
those
mighty
princes
and
knights
did
embrace
him
,
&
could
not
beleeue
that
he
should
be
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
with
the
great
ioy
&
contentment
they
receiued
when
they
saw
him
,
who
pulled
off
all
their
chaines
,
&
set
them
at
liberty
,
&
tooke
from
one
of
them
that
was
ther
slaine
,
the
keies
of
certaine
chests
,
wheras
was
all
their
armour
,
so
that
they
lacked
not
one
peece
of
them
,
for
that
Rodaran
&
the
queene
Carmania
commanded
all
to
be
kept
very
well
,
that
none
should
be
lost
.
All
this
time
was
the
quéene
Carmania
hidden
in
a
closet
of
the
same
tent
,
so
heauy
&
sad
to
see
all
that
passed
,
that
she
thought
with
very
sorrow
to
haue
died
.
And
in
the
meane
time
that
the
emperour
&
the
rest
were
arming
of
themselues
in
great
hast
,
the
knight
of
the
Sun
returned
to
succour
and
help
that
Knight
,
whom
he
left
defending
of
the
doore
of
the
tent
,
that
none
should
enter
in
therat
,
&
it
was
that
worthy
&
royall
princesse
Claridiana
,
whom
he
found
very
brauely
and
stoutlye
combatting
with
a
great
number
of
knights
,
and
hadde
before
hir
at
the
entry
of
the
Tent
,
very
many
slaine
and
wounded
,
and
for
that
she
kept
hir selfe
in
the
inside
of
the
entry
,
she
defended
hir selfe
the
better
from
all
that
came
against
hir
.
But
when
hée
came
amongst
them
with
his
mightie
blowes
,
he
made
all
his
enemies
to
a
part
themselues
from
the
doore
of
the
Tent
,
for
when
they
saw
him
comming
,
euery
one
dyd
procure
to
make
way
all
that
euer
they
could
from
him
,
for
that
they
thought
verily
hée
could
be
no
mortall
man
,
doing
that
which
they
saw
him
doe
.
At
this
time
the
good
king
Liseo
came
with
all
his
knights
together
in
an
ambushment
,
in
the
midst
of
the
camp
,
killing
and
wounding
his
enimies
,
that
they
thought
them
to
be
all
rauening
Lions
,
but
yet
in
the
end
if
they
had
endured
long
,
ther
could
not
one
of
them
haue
remained
aliue
,
for
they
were
but
a
small
number
,
&
their
enemies
very
many
&
valiaunt
.
So
at
this
time
the
good
emperour
and
all
the
rest
of
those
worthy
princes
&
knights
were
armed
,
&
with
their
swords
drawen
in
their
handes
with
the
greatest
fury
in
all
the
world
they
went
out
of
the
tent
,
and
as
those
which
had
a
great
desire
to
reuenge
themselues
in
a
small
time
they
made
such
a
slaughter
amongst
their
enimies
,
that
they
thought
it
best
to
giue
them
way
,
so
that
they
had
time
&
space
inough
to
prouide
themselues
of
horses
,
of
those
which
ran
round
about
the
field
of
the
knights
that
were
slaine
,
&
when
they
were
all
mounted
on
horsback
they
ioyned
themselues
together
in
an
ambushment
&
put
themselues
in
the
midst
of
all
the
battaile
with
so
great
fury
,
&
stroke
such
cruell
&
mortall
blowes
,
that
ther
were
none
in
all
the
camp
that
durst
abide
beefore
them
.
Who
so
had
séene
the
good
Emperour
Trebatio
at
that
present
,
in
the
middest
of
his
two
sons
,
killing
&
wounding
so
many
,
that
hee
was
all
to
be
bathed
in
blood
,
&
did
well
appeare
by
the
blowes
hée
gaue
the
great
good
will
which
he
had
to
reuenge
himselfe
,
&
that
val●…aunt
prince
Rosicleer
did
strange
feates
,
that
whosoeuer
had
séene
him
might
well
know
him
to
be
brother
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sun
.
Likewise
the
mightie
&
furious
Prince
Brandizell
with
king
Sacridoro
&
Rodamarte
,
it
might
well
be
said
that
all
they
were
a
sepulchre
vnto
their
enimies
,
for
that
they
were
very
many
that
were
slaine
that
day
,
&
for
that
ther
was
none
that
did
know
the
princes
Claridiana
,
seeing
the
mortall
blowes
which
she
gaue
,
and
the
wonderfull
things
which
shee
did
,
they
all
meruailed
much
,
not
knowing
who
that
mighty
&
strong
Knight
should
be
,
&
they
had
a
merua●…lous
great
desire
to
know
him
.
To
conclude
,
for
that
this
excellent
company
kept
themselues
together
,
they
made
such
a
slaughter
amongst
their
enimies
,
that
which
way
so
euer
they
went
they
made
a
broad
way
,
&
in
a
small
time
they
came
&
ioyned
with
the
good
king
Liseo
&
his
knights
,
who
were
wonderfully
amazed
when
they
saw
the
knight
of
the
Sun
accompanied
with
so
many
stout
&
valiant
knights
,
and
could
not
by
any
meanes
imagine
what
it
should
meane
,
&
being
all
ioyned
together
,
those
that
were
with
the
king
Liseo
receiued
great
conrage
,
&
their
enimies
harts
failed
,
and
much
the
more
because
they
had
no
captain
to
gouerne
them
,
&
put
them
in
courage
,
&
mistrusting
the
worst
,
many
of
them
ran
away
out
of
the
campe
,
procuring
each
one
to
saue
his
owne
life
,
&
when
the
rest
saw
some
of
their
companions
run
away
,
they
out
of
hand
did
the
like
,
in
such
sort
,
that
in
the
end
of
one
houre
,
the
prisoners
were
at
liberty
,
ther
remained
not
one
in
all
the
camp
of
the
king
of
Arcadia
,
except
it
were
those
that
were
slaine
&
wounded
,
which
were
more
then
halfe
of
them
.
And
when
they
saw
themselues
at
liberty
&
cléere
of
their
enemies
,
not
finding
one
with
whom
to
●…ight
,
the
king
Liseo
went
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
and
pulled
off
his
belme
,
and
embraced
him
,
saying
.
Ah
my
good
Lord
and
perfect
friend
,
how
can
I
gratifie
this
great
good
benefit
the
which
this
day
I
haue
receiued
of
your
great
worthinesse
,
for
by
you
I
haue
recouered
my
lost
Kingdome
,
therfore
worthy
Prince
,
I
doe
most
hartelye
desire
you
to
tell
me
who
these
valiant
knights
be
,
and
from
whence
so
excellent
a
companye
should
come
.
Then
presentlie
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
who
did
esteeme
verye
much
of
him
,
declared
vnto
him
who
they
were
,
and
by
what
aduenture
he
had
found
them
there
.
At
this
time
the
Emperour
and
all
the
rest
of
the
Princes
and
knights
had
taken
off
their
●…elmes
,
and
the
king
Liseo
was
the
gladdest
man
in
all
the
world
,
and
went
to
kisse
the
emperours
hands
,
saying
:
May
it
please
your
soueraigne
highnesse
to
giue
your
handes
to
kisse
them
,
for
that
through
you
I
am
restored
vnto
my
lost
kingdome
.
This
high
and
worthy
Emperour
did
embrace
him
with
great
loue
,
so
likewise
did
all
the
other
Princes
&
knights
,
&
ther
passed
betwixt
them
many
curt●…ous
words
,
yet
for
all
this
was
not
the
royall
princesse
Claridiana
knowen
.
And
being
desired
by
the
emperour
&
all
the
other
princes
&
knights
to
giue
them
vnderstanding
who
&
what
hée
was
,
she
straight
way
pulled
off
hir
helme
,
wheras
he
dyd
discouer
hir
yeolow
haire
,
which
was
bound
vp
with
a
net
of
gold
,
very
richly
&
wonderfullye
wrought
,
&
by
reason
of
hir
great
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
which
she
receiued
in
the
passed
battaile
,
hir
colour
was
somewhat
mooued
,
wherwith
she
shewed
so
perfect
&
singuler
beauty
,
that
verily
she
séemed
vnto
them
all
,
to
be
rather
some
diuine
creature
,
then
any
humane
person
,
&
ther
was
neuer
a
one
there
but
she
séemed
vnto
them
to
bee
some
celestiall
thing
.
Then
the
Emperour
and
all
the
rest
of
the
knights
that
did
know
hir
,
being
as
much
amazed
at
hir
beauty
,
as
to
see
hir
ther
at
that
instant
,
went
all
vnto
hir
.
&
did
welcome
hir
with
great
curtesie
.
And
the
emperour
said
:
My
Lady
&
mistres
,
this
liberty
the
which
I
and
all
these
princes
&
knights
haue
receiued
,
it
cannot
bee
but
by
the
hands
of
so
high
a
damsell
as
you
are
,
&
I
pray
God
that
we
may
be
able
to
gratifie
you
for
the
same
.
Unto
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
said
the
Princesse
,
ought
you
to
surrender
and
giue
these
thankes
,
for
that
for
him
is
ordayned
and
kept
the
atchiuing
of
all
good
aduentures
,
and
to
giue
the
finall
conclusion
of
the
same
.
What
might
heere
be
thought
of
the
great
ioy
and
pleasure
which
this
amorous
and
valiant
knight
conceiued
,
when
that
in
that
time
and
place
hée
found
himselfe
in
the
presencé
of
his
Lady
and
mistres
,
hauing
seene
what
shee
had
done
for
him
beefore
hee
knew
hir
.
Truely
this
mirth
and
gladnesse
was
so
much
,
that
hée
thought
all
his
vnderstanding
to
bee
transported
into
a
celestiall
glory
whereas
the
chosen
doth
remaine
,
and
going
towards
hir
,
he
said
:
Your
soueraigne
beauty
may
please
to
giue
vnto
mee
your
se●…re
hands
,
that
I
may
kisse
them
,
in
acknowledging
of
the
great
curtesie
which
all
wee
haue
receyued
by
your
soueraigne
aide
and
succour
,
and
for
that
all
enterprises
which
I
doe
take
in
hand
may
haue
credit
,
it
shall
be
done
in
your
seruice
and
prayse
,
as
I
am
bound
,
and
likewise
all
good
and
valyaunt
Knights
in
the
world
.
Then
the
Princesse
who
receiued
great
contentment
at
his
words
,
layd
hir
armes
vpon
his
shoulders
and
sayd
:
Worthie
Prince
,
your
politike
dealings
and
excellent
bountie
sooth
so
far
excell
,
that
it
is
not
needefull
for
mée
to
expresse
the
same
,
neyther
any
other
,
but
onely
to
béehold
what
is
done
by
your
valiant
hands
heere
in
this
Camp
,
and
vnto
this
there
is
good
witnesse
,
who
is
the
king
Liseo
and
all
his
knights
.
And
passing
beetwixt
them
many
other
amorous
words
,
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
dyd
tell
them
all
how
and
by
what
aduenture
hée
came
thether
,
and
all
that
happened
with
him
after
hee
departed
out
of
Greece
.
The
like
dyd
the
Princesse
Claridiana
,
so
that
all
the
whole
companie
vnderstood
by
what
order
they
were
there
assembled
and
ioyned
.
In
the
meane
time
that
they
were
in
this
acknowledging
one
another
,
those
of
Lidia
were
not
idle
,
for
they
minded
no
other
thing
but
to
robbe
and
destroy
all
that
were
in
the
Tents
and
Campe
of
the
King
of
Arcadia
,
and
finding
there
great
store
of
riches
and
treasure
which
the
king
had
brought
,
euery
one
of
them
did
so
lade
themselues
,
that
euer
after
they
remayned
very
rich
,
and
thought
their
long
and
great
trauaile
to
bee
well
employed
,
the
end
fell
out
so
prosperous
vnto
them
.
Then
the
Emperour
Trebatio
out
of
hand
commaunded
that
the
Quéene
Carmania
should
bée
brought
beefore
him
,
for
there
should
bée
no
harme
done
vnto
hir
,
who
when
shée
thought
verily
that
Rodaran
had
béene
slayne
,
tare
hir
haire
,
and
dyd
such
iustice
on
hir selfe
,
that
they
thought
verily
it
would
bee
hir
death
.
And
asking
of
them
whether
the
king
of
Arcadia
and
Rodaran
were
aliue
or
dead
,
they
went
straight
wayes
vnto
the
place
whereas
they
lay
a
long
vppon
the
ground
,
and
commaunded
that
theyr
Healmes
,
should
bée
pulled
off
,
and
fresh
water
to
bee
throwen
vpon
their
face
to
refresh
them
,
&
straight
wayes
they
came
agayne
vnto
themselues
,
and
when
they
vnderstood
in
what
estate
and
perplexity
they
were
all
this
time
,
their
sorrow
and
griefe
was
such
,
that
they
thought
it
had
béene
better
for
them
to
haue
beene
slaine
,
then
to
suffer
so
great
misfortune
:
but
when
the
King
of
Arcadia
,
dyd
look●…
about
him
for
his
armie
,
and
could
sée
neuer
a
Knight
on
his
part
,
but
those
that
were
slayne
and
lay
in
the
field
,
with
very
sorrow
and
griefe
hée
thought
verely
his
heart
would
haue
burst
.
Likewise
when
Rodaran
,
saw
all
his
prisoners
at
libertie
,
and
hée
ouercome
by
one
alone
Knight
,
the
great
sorrow
and
griefe
which
he
receiued
,
could
not
bée
héere
expressed
,
and
if
hee
had
had
his
helme
and
his
swoord
,
and
on
horsebacke
,
hee
would
haue
tarryed
there
no
longer
.
Then
strayghtwayes
the
King
Lyseo
,
dyd
desire
all
these
worthie
warriers
,
to
repaire
vnto
the
Citie
for
to
refresh
themselues
,
and
to
take
their
ease
,
who
consented
vnto
his
request
,
and
went
towards
the
citie
,
and
carryed
with
them
theyr
prisoners
,
whereas
they
were
receiued
of
all
the
Citizens
and
nobles
of
all
the
kingdome
,
that
were
there
present
,
with
so
great
ioy
and
triumphes
,
that
the
whole
Citie
seemed
to
bée
on
〈◊〉
,
with
the
great
bonefiers
&
other
lights
which
were
made
in
euery
streete
of
the
Citie
,
not
remembring
any
of
their
troubles
past
.
So
when
they
came
vnto
the
Queenes
pallace
,
who
was
very
wyse
and
discréete
,
shée
receiued
them
with
such
courtesie
,
as
was
requisit
to
so
noble
persons
:
whereas
they
were
all
vnarmed
,
and
recreated
with
verie
swéet
waters
and
oyntments
requisit
for
such
hurts
and
bruses
as
they
had
receiued
.
For
although
theyr
armour
dyd
defend
them
from
wounding
,
yet
could
not
their
flesh
bée
free
from
bruses
,
by
the
force
of
such
terrible
blowes
as
they
receiued
.
And
in
especiall
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
in
the
battaile
which
hée
had
with
Rodaran
,
and
the
King
of
Arcadia
,
although
hee
estéemed
it
in
nothing
,
with
the
great
contentment
and
pleasure
which
hee
receiued
in
seeing
beefore
him
the
fayre
Princesse
Claridiana
,
not
hée
alone
who
loued
hir
as
his
owne
soule
,
dyd
receiue
contentment
,
but
likewise
the
Emperour
,
&
the
other
princes
&
knights
did
reioyse
very
much
,
&
had
hir
in
that
reputation
as
hir
high
estate
deserued
.
So
in
this
sort
they
passed
away
all
that
night
in
great
pastimes
&
pleasure
,
till
the
next
day
in
the
morning
,
in
the
which
the
king
Liseo
,
went
vnto
the
●…mperour
and
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
asked
of
them
what
their
pleasures
was
to
doo
with
the
king
of
Arcadia
,
&
Rodaran
,
for
that
they
were
their
prisoners
.
To
whom
the
Emperor
said
▪
that
those
prisoners
did
béelong
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
and
how
that
hée
would
giue
order
what
should
bée
done
with
them
.
The
knight
of
the
Sun
when
that
he
heard
that
,
he
would
very
faine
haue
excused
himselfe
therof
,
but
it
did
little
profit
him
his
excuses
,
but
that
generally
it
was
concluded
,
that
all
should
be
done
as
he
would
command
it
.
So
hee
seeing
their
determination
,
commanded
to
bee
brought
before
him
Rodaran
,
and
the
king
of
Arcadia
,
vnto
whom
hée
said
.
The
high
estates
great
riches
&
soueraine
gifts
which
fortune
yéeldeth
in
this
world
,
&
by
the
wil
of
god
is
departed
amongst
men
,
often
times
is
the
occasion
that
pride
doth
increase
,
the
more
in
them
:
&
hauing
cleane
forgotten
that
they
are
mortal
,
and
subiect
vnto
any
misfortune
.
Contrary
vnto
all
reason
they
put
themselues
in
exercises
to
comprehend
things
of
great
waite
and
no
lesse
perillo●…s
,
as
though
there
were
not
a
god
to
withstand
them
,
thinking
themselues
to
haue
power
ouer
all
fortune
:
from
whence
doth
proceede
,
that
when
they
thinke
themselues
most
surest
and
most
highest
in
their
throne
,
lacking
the
chiefe
and
principall
ground
of
reason
and
iustice
,
the
whéele
of
their
hope
,
being
very
swift
and
of
no
securitie
,
turneth
about
,
and
throweth
downe
vnto
the
ground
,
that
which
is
most
highest
,
in
such
sort
,
that
ther
is
no
humaine
creature
able
to
resist
,
so
great
force
.
And
so
it
hath
happened
vnto
you
,
for
being
made
Lords
and
kings
ouer
great
and
mightie
Kingdomes
,
and
likewise
endewed
with
force
and
strength
,
yet
there
increased
in
you
so
great
pride
,
that
all
séemed
little
,
the
which
you
had
of
your
owne
,
but
against
all
reason
&
iustice
,
you
came
to
séeke
that
which
at
such
time
as
you
thought
all
concluded
and
ended
,
then
were
you
farthest
of
,
and
brought
in
that
estate
that
you
doo
well
vnderstand
&
know
,
how
little
the
power
of
men
is
,
when
in
wrongfull
causes
you
apply
your selues
Now
in
the
behalfe
of
the
Emperour
my
lord
,
&
these
knights
I
require
you
to
sweare
to
be
true
to
King
Liseo
and
his
kingdome
.
but
returne
vnto
your
owne
Countries
&
Kingdomes
,
and
procure
to
defend
them
,
and
kéepe
your selues
therein
,
and
not
to
giue
from
hence
forwards
any
such
attempts
as
hetherto
you
haue
done
,
for
if
you
doo
you
can
looke
for
no
●…ther
thing
but
losse
of
your
liues
or
else
shame
vnto
your
persons
.
And
first
beefore
all
other
things
,
to
make
satisfaction
vnto
the
King
Lyseo
of
all
such
hurts
and
damages
as
hath
béene
done
in
his
kingdome
,
and
likewise
to
surrender
and
yéelde
vp
all
such
things
as
you
haue
taken
from
him
,
lands
,
and
otherwise
,
without
any
delay
.
At
which
words
of
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
the
two
Kings
receiued
no
great
contentment
,
for
they
were
so
rooted
in
pride
&
mischiefe
,
that
it
could
not
be
rooted
out
till
such
time
as
they
were
vtterly
ouerthrowen
and
lost
in
the
fields
of
Grecia
but
now
seeing
in
what
estate
they
were
,
&
how
that
it
did
behoue
them
to
shew
more
patience
then
they
had
,
they
swore
before
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
to
performe
&
fulfill
all
that
he
would
demand
them
,
&
for
theyr
libertie
which
they
receiued
at
their
hands
they
gaue
great
thanks
.
And
so
they
with
the
Quéene
Carmania
▪
taking
thir
leaue
of
all
them
,
they
departed
thence
,
and
went
towards
their
owne
Countries
and
kingdomes
,
wheras
they
had
inough
to
doo
to
tell
of
the
knights
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
so
that
in
the
most
part
of
all
the
Pagan
Countrie
,
his
name
was
feared
Whom
at
this
present
this
historie
dooth
leaue
till
time
dooth
serue
.
How
the
Emperour
Trebatio
with
all
his
Princes
and
knights
departed
out
of
the
Kingdome
of
Lidia
towards
Constantinople
.
Chapter
51.
THrée
daies
after
the
departure
of
the
King
of
Arcadia
and
Rodaran
,
remayned
the
Emperour
in
Lidia
,
with
all
the
rest
of
the
Princes
and
Knights
in
great
myrth
and
pastime
with
the
King
Lyseo
and
all
his
nobles
,
in
the
ende
whereof
they
thought
it
time
to
goe
and
sée
the
Empresse
,
and
the
rest
of
Greece
,
whom
they
were
well
assured
to
bee
very
sad
and
sorrowfull
for
theyr
absence
.
So
concluding
together
,
they
determined
the
fourth
day
in
the
morning
to
depart
.
The
time
beeing
come
,
they
all
dyd
take
theyr
leaue
of
the
Quéene
,
who
shed
many
teares
to
sée
them
depart
,
and
the
king
Liseo
went
to
beare
them
companie
till
they
came
to
the
sea
side
,
for
they
could
not
by
any
meanes
cause
him
to
abide
in
the
Citie
.
So
they
trauailed
seauen
daies
,
in
the
ende
whereof
they
came
vnto
the
Sea
,
whereas
the
king
did
take
his
leaue
of
them
,
embracing
them
all
,
offering
himselfe
at
their
commaundement
at
all
times
when
occasion
should
serue
.
And
after
that
hee
was
departed
from
them
,
hee
found
himselfe
very
solitary
without
their
company
,
and
in
especiall
without
the
companie
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
for
that
hee
esteemed
more
his
company
and
friendship
then
all
his
whole
Kingdome
.
The
Emperour
and
all
those
that
went
with
him
dyd
imbarke
themselues
in
a
very
good
Shippe
,
and
tooke
their
way
towards
Constantinople
,
and
hauing
the
winde
and
weather
very
fayre
and
prisoners
,
they
made
theyr
nauigation
whith
great
ioy
and
pleasure
generally
amongst
them
all
,
but
in
especially
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
who
finding
himselfe
alwayes
in
presence
of
the
royall
Princesse
Claridiana
,
hee
was
as
pleasant
and
ioyfull
as
euer
hee
was
in
all
his
life
,
and
although
many
times
all
the
rest
that
were
in
the
ship
,
were
at
the
ship
side
sporting
themselues
,
when
that
hee
had
opportunitie
to
speake
and
vtter
his
minde
,
yet
for
all
that
hee
had
so
great
respect
vnto
hir
,
that
●…t
seemed
vnto
him
that
hee
lacked
bouldnesse
to
vtter
vnto
●…ir
his
paine
and
griefe
,
and
for
that
the
royall
Princesse
,
●…either
more
nor
lesse
then
hée
was
,
troubled
with
●…morous
●…assions
,
dyd
not
let
at
all
tymes
to
make
some
outwarde
●…ew
thereof
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
it
caused
him
so

heart
at
grasse
,
and
speake
vnto
hir
,
who
with

〈◊〉
,
as
the
Pagans
〈◊〉
vse
when

doo
〈◊〉
▪
and
worship
theyr
false
Gods
,
in
such
sort
hée
béegan
to
speake
and
said
:
Excellent
and
royall
princes
of
Trabisond
,
your
soueraigne
highnesse
and
the
diuine
excellencie
of
your
royall
person
,
béeing
by
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
séene
and
knowen
how
far
it
dooth
extend
,
dooth
make
him
not
to
bee
so
hardy
and
bolde
for
to
publish
himselfe
to
bee
yours
,
for
that
it
séemeth
vnto
him
not
to
deserue
to
inioy
so
great
fauour
and
renowme
,
and
as
I
am
now
a
Christian
,
and
doo
béeléeue
in
the
law
of
the
true
God
,
whereas
I
was
wont
to
bée
a
Gentile
,
then
might
you
bée
well
assured
,
that
in
no
other
God
in
heauen
or
on
earth
would
I
béeléeue
in
,
but
onely
in
you
,
neyther
would
I
recommend
my
soule
and
bodie
vnto
any
other
:
and
as
I
am
perswaded
that
in
thinking
héerein
,
much
more
in
speaking
,
cannot
be
without
great
offence
vnto
God
,
yet
if
it
were
before
his
diuine
Maiestie
,
I
might
make
any
excuse
,
I
would
performe
this
that
I
say
,
and
héere
I
giue
many
and
infinit
thanckes
vnto
the
soueraigne
creator
,
that
not
onelie
hath
brought
me
out
of
that
blinde
custome
and
law
of
the
Gentiles
,
and
hath
giuen
mée
the
law
of
grace
,
but
also
hée
hath
sustained
mée
vntill
this
time
for
to
behold
your
soueraigne
beautie
,
that
onely
therein
I
may
also
know
his
great
might
&
power
.
God
also
made
the
heauens
,
the
earth
,
and
the
starres
,
and
endued
them
with
greatnesse
and
lyght
of
great
beautie
,
but
yet
ob
diuine
clemencie
,
in
you
alone
i●…
more
to
bée
seene
then
in
all
them
,
I
will
not
declare
vnto
you
(
royall
Princesse
)
how
that
singular
beautie
and
fairenesse
haue
béene
the
occasion
that
my
heart
dooth
receiue
sorrow
and
griefe
,
yet
I
may
say
that
it
is
rather
glorie
then
payne
,
for
that
without
it
I
am
not
able
to
liue
one
moment
.
And
héere
I
doo
giue
you
to
vnderstand
that
I
am
so
much
yours
,
that
so
long
as
this
soule
dooth
sustaine
my
body
,
my
heart
shall
not
neyther
cannot
,
but
continually
haue
you
for
my
Lady
and
mistresse
.
Therefore
soueraigne
Princesse
,
I
doo
most
hartely
desire
you
to
shew
so
much
fauour
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
as
to
graunt
him
lisence
to
bée
yours
,
for
that
without
it
,
hee
liuing
cannot
choose
but
serue
you
,
and
for
that
with
my
life
I
will
no●…
offend
you
(
if
you
doo
not
receiue
contentment
héerewith
)
I
will
giue
my selfe
the
death
.
The
royall
Princesse
at
these
woords
receiued
neyther
anger
nor
griefe
,
but
beeing
very
pleasant
and
merrie
for
that
hée
had
sayd
vnto
hir
,
with
an
excellent
grace
&
great
humilitie
shée
answered
him
and
saide
.
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
who
for
his
name
,
which
is
the
name
of
so
high
a
prince
,
by
desert
deserueth
to
be
lost
,
and
in
how
much
is
this
name
amongst
the
most
estéemed
Knights
in
all
the
world
had
in
estimation
,
I
doo
not
know
by
what
reason
hee
should
so
little
esteeme
himselfe
,
and
so
far
exalt
mee
,
that
for
to
publish
himselfe
to
bee
mine
,
hee
saith
that
hee
lacketh
courage
and
bouldnesse
,
heere
I
giue
you
to
vnderstand
that
I
haue
in
such
estimation
your
mightie
déedes
,
and
the
great
worthinesse
of
your
person
,
that
for
to
receiue
you
to
bee
my
knight
,
I
am
therewith
very
well
content
,
and
with
all
onely
this
,
I
doo
béeleeue
that
in
all
the
world
there
is
not
a
Damsell
that
is
equall
vnto
my
highnesse
.
And
farther
you
shall
vnderstand
(
gentle
knight
)
that
the
great
fame
of
your
high
Knighthoode
was
the
occasion
that
I
came
out
of
Trabisond
,
onely
for
to
sée
you
,
therefore
my
good
Lord
,
from
this
day
forwards
,
procure
that
wée
may
returne
thether
with
as
much
speed
and
in
as
short
time
as
may
bee
,
for
that
I
desire
very
much
,
that
in
the
Court
of
the
Emperour
my
Father
,
so
high
a
Prince
and
so
worthie
a
Knight
as
you
are
might
bée
knowen
.
Then
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
with
more
contentment
then
euer
hée
receiued
in
all
his
life
,
knéeled
dowen
beefore
the
Princesse
and
would
haue
kissed
hir
handes
for
the
great
curtesie
shewed
vnto
him
,
but
shée
in
no
wise
would
consent
therevnto
,
but
caused
him
to
stand
vp
,
and
tooke
him
in
hir
armes
,
wheras
grew
beetwéene
them
so
great
loue
,
that
nothing
was
to
seperate
them
but
onely
death
and
although
these
louing
words
passed
betwéene
them
,
&
seemed
that
there
was
no
conclusion
of
any
thing
,
yet
in
their
harts
there
was
so
strong
a
knot
●…ade
,
that
beefore
it
should
bée
vndone
,
it
should
bée
greatly
amented
.
So
they
passed
the
time
in
these
&
other
resons
,
in
the
which
time
theyr
Ship
dyd
nauigate
with
prosperous
windes
,
and
the
fift
day
after
theyr
departure
from
Lidia
,
they
ariued
in
a
port
or
hauen
of
Grecia
,
whereas
they
dyd
disimbarke
themselues
,
and
went
a
land
,
from
whence
they
had
not
trauayled
far
,
when
they
met
many
Knights
,
who
went
séeking
of
Rodaran
,
meruaylous
sad
and
heauie
for
the
imprisonment
of
the
Emperour
,
and
all
the
other
Princes
and
knights
that
were
with
him
,
who
when
they
knew
the
Emperour
and
the
rest
,
so
fast
as
theyr
horsses
could
runne
they
went
vnto
Constantinople
,
to
carrie
the
newes
.
And
as
soone
as
it
was
knowen
throughout
the
great
Cittie
,
there
were
very
few
that
remained
,
but
they
went
forth
to
méete
theyr
good
Lord
,
the
Emperour
and
his
sons
,
and
receiued
them
with
so
great
ioy
and
pleasure
as
though
they
had
béene
theyr
owne
kinsfolkes
or
children
,
and
had
béene
very
long
absent
from
them
.
So
they
entered
into
the
great
pallace
,
whereas
of
the
Empresse
they
were
receiued
with
that
ioy
and
contentment
,
as
in
such
like
absence
may
bée
conceiued
,
and
with
no
small
complaining
of
the
Empresse
vnto
the
Emperour
,
for
that
hée
all
alone
,
and
without
giuing
hir
to
vnderstand
,
would
goe
foorth
and
put
himselfe
into
so
great
perill
.
Straight
wayes
it
was
knowen
throughout
the
whole
Citie
all
that
had
passed
,
and
the
great
deceit
and
treason
that
Rodaran
vsed
for
to
take
prisoners
all
th●…se
Knights
.
Then
the
Emperour
the
more
to
extoll
and
make
manifest
the
worthie
déedes
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
commaunded
to
bée
paynted
all
that
euer
had
happened
from
the
first
time
that
Rodaran
came
vnto
the
Court
,
vntill
such
time
as
hée
departed
after
the
battayle●…
in
Lidia
,
&
to
bée
done
in
the
fore
front
of
the
great
pallace
nigh
vnto
the
aduenture
of
the
Iland
of
Lindaraza
,
and
for
that
it
was
done
by
the
hands
of
excellent
workmen
and
very
naturall
,
it
did
not
a
little
amplifie
&
set
foorth
the
grea●…
bountie
of
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
.
So
in
this
sort
with
great
ioy
and
pleasure
they
remayned
a
good
while
in
the
Court
without
happening
an●…
thing
worth
the
telling
,
but
the
knight
of
the
Sun
receiued
not
so
great
ioy
&
contentment
,
in
finding
himself
in
the
presence
of
his
ladies
,
as
the
princesse
Lindabrides
receiued
sorrow
&
griefe
to
sée
the
great
conuersation
which
the
knight
of
the
Sun
had
with
the
princesse
Claridiana
,
&
the
great
perill
which
hir
presence
might
cause
vnto
hir
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
she
receiued
no
pleasure
,
but
was
alwaies
very
sad
&
perisiue
,
&
caused
vnto
the
Emperour
and
Empresse
great
sorrow
&
griefe
▪
séeing
hir
in
that
case
,
thinking
that
she
receiued
some
displeasure
in
his
court
,
which
greatly
discontented
hir
,
because
she
did
not
as
she
was
wont
,
shewing
hir selfe
pleasant
,
&
many
times
they
asked
of
hir
the
occasion
,
offering
to
doe
all
that
was
possible
whereby
she
might
receiue
ioy
.
And
she
answered
them
with
great
diss●…mulatton
,
saying
,
that
ther
was
nothing
that
caused
hir
to
be
so
sad
,
but
onely
because
shee
could
neuer
heare
any
newes
of
hir
brother
the
prince
Meridian
,
since
his
departure
from
hir
.
Then
the
Emperour
beleeuing
it
to
be
as
she
had
told
him
,
presently
sent
abroad
knights
into
all
parts
to
seeke
him
,
&
dailye
did
comfort
the
princesse
,
〈◊〉
that
beefore
long
hir
brother
Meridian
would
come
thether
.
Likewise
at
this
time
the
good
knight
Rosicleer
was
not
altogether
at
his
ease
,
for
that
idlenesse
and
eass
was
the
occasion
that
he
called
to
remembrance
things
passed
,
in
such
sort
that
the
old
wound
of
his
loue
began
to
renue
&
feaster
againe
,
so
that
within
few
dai●…ee
that
he
had
remained
in
Constantinople
,
his
owne
naturall
country
&
habitation
,
waxed
〈◊〉
vnto
him
,
&
the
●…onuersation
of
his
father
,
mother
,
&
brother
(
for
that
he
could
not
receiue
any
pleasure
or
delight
)
did
cause
vnto
him
great
〈◊〉
&
griefe
,
&
did
ab●…orre
their
companie

all
his
delight

to
be
alone
,
&
to
any
place
wher
mirth

was

could
not
abide
.
All
the
which
increased
in
him
so
much
,
that
in
the
end
he
determined
with
himselfe
to
doe
that
as

How
the
Empresse
Briana
was
deliuered
of
a
sonne
,
and
of
the
great
feasts
that
were
made
at
his
birth
.
Chapter
.
52
IT
is
said
in
this
famous
history
that
the
mightie
emperour
Trebatio
had
another
and
the
third
son
,
by
the
faire
empresse
Briana
,
of
whom
is
made
great
mencion
in
the
second
part
of
this
history
,
for
that
was
one
of
the
most
mightiest
&
famous
knights
in
all
the
world
,
&
that
next
vnto
his
singuled
bretheren
the
knight
of
the
Sun
&
Rosicleer
,
ther
was
none
equall
vnto
him
,
&
many
times
combatting
with
his
bretheren
vnknowen
,
he
put
them
in
great
hazard
,
&
with
either
of
them
he
hath
maintayned
battaile
almost
a
whole
day
,
&
in
the
end
it
was
very
small
the
vantage
they
had
of
him
,
so
that
this
valiant
knight
did
finish
so
many
mortall
déedes
,
that
they
deserue
to
be
spoken
of
,
&
to
be
put
in
the
number
of
his
bretheren
,
&
in
all
other
things
,
as
in
body
&
stature
,
he
was
conformable
&
equal
vnto
them
,
&
did
resemble
so
much
the
knight
of
the
Sun
in
his
face
,
that
many
times
he
was
taken
for
him
,
&
if
it
were
not
that
he
was
of
fewer
yéeres
,
with
great
difficulty
might
you
know
the
one
from
the
other
.
This
valiant
&
fortunat
prince
,
as
the
wise
Artemidoro
saith
,
was
borne
straight
after
the
emperour
and
all
his
company
came
from
the
kingdome
of
Lidia
,
for
that
when
that
stout
Pagan
Rodaran
came
into
Greece
,
the
empresse
was
very
big
with
child
.
It
doth
apéere
that
the
wise
Lirgandeo
doth
make
difference
,
for
hée
doth
make
no
mencion
of
this
yong
gentleman
,
till
the
conclusion
of
the
great
battailes
which
they
passed
betwéene
the
emperour
Alicandro
of
Tartaria
,
and
the
Emperour
Trebatio
of
Greece
,
from
which
time
he
doth
declare
meruailous
&
wonderfull
things
done
by
him
.
I
doe
beléeue
that
the
occasion
of
this
is
,
because
that
the
wise
Lirgandeo
did
not
sée
him
,
till
such
time
as
he
came
into
Greece
,
&
made
no
mention
of
him
till
all
the
battaile
was
finished
,
&
at
such
time
as
the
emperour
&
all
the
rest
tooke
their
rest
with
great
ioy
&
pleasure
,
after
the
great
trauaile
which
they
receiued
in
the
wars
past
,
for
that
at
this
time
the
young
gentleman
,
was
verye
tender
of
yeares
,
&
passed
not
sixe
yéeres
of
age
,
so
that
till
that
time
ther
is
no
more
mention
made
of
him
,
then
is
in
this
chapter
,
but
afterwards
these
two
wise
men
doe
begin
to
writ
of
him
meruailous
great
&
wonderfull
déeds
,
&
doo
both
agrée
in
their
writings
.
When
the
time
was
come
that
this
royall
empresse
should
be
deliuered
ther
chaunced
a
thing
of
great
admiration
&
meruaile
,
which
did
shew
&
declare
a
very
high
and
great
mistery
in
the
birth
of
this
●…hild
,
which
was
that
night
and
very
moment
that
he
was
borne
,
the
Moone
did
shine
so
bright
&
cleere
,
&
threw
from
hir
such
glistering
beames
of
light
,
that
it
seemed
to
bee
the
Sun
,
&
the
most
part
of
all
the
earth
was
so
cléere
,
as
commonly
it
is
in
the
morning
,
when
the
Sunne
doth
spred
hir
beames
abroad
.
This
was
seene
iust
at
midnight
,
&
did
endure
for
the
space
of
halfe
a
quarter
of
an
houre
,
i●…
it
put
all
those
that
saw
it
in
great
admiration
,
&
those
which
afterwards
heard
tell
thereof
,
&
greatly
meruailing
thereat
,
they
demaunded
of
the
wise
men
what
that
strange
token
might
singnifie
,
&
ther
was
none
that
could
declare
the
signification
therof
,
but
onely
the
wise
Artemidore
,
who
was
at
that
present
in
Constantinople
,
who
did
tell
them
plainly
that
it
did
pro●…nosticat
&
shew
that
the
features
&
deedes
of
that
yong
prince
,
should
so
cléerely
shine
in
the
obscure
&
dark
regions
of
the
barbarous
people
,
as
the
moone
did
shew
hir
shining
light
,
in
the
obsure
darknesse
of
the
night
.
And
time
did
come
that
it
was
perfectly
seene
&
proued
to
be
true
all
that
this
wise
man
had
told
them
,
for
that
by
his
occasion
the
most
part
of
the
orientall
regions
were
turned
into
the
christian
faith
and
true
beléefe
in
Iesus
Christ
.
After
this
which
the
wise
man
had
told
him
,
as
also
for
that
the
child
was
borne
very
faire
.
The
Emperour
and
the
empresse
&
his
sons
were
very
glad
&
ioyfull
,
&
all
the
knights
of
the
court
,
&
the
citizens
began
to
make
great
feasts
and
pastimes
for
the
birth
of
the
new
prince
,
the
which
endured
in
the
Citie
for
the
space
of
one
moonth
,
&
afterwards
as
the
child
did
increase
in
yeeres
,
so
did
he
increase
in
bounty
and
bignesse
of
body
,
in
such
sort
that
all
men
meruailed
greatly
ther
at
,
and
said
,
that
according
vnto
the
wonderfull
tokens
séene
at
the
birth
of
that
child
,
it
could
not
be
but
that
hee
should
recouer
as
great
fame
▪
&
be
as
singuler
in
bounty
as
his
bretheren
.
And
many
times
the
princesse
Claridiana
,
&
the
faire
princesse
Lindabrides
did
take
him
in
their
armes
,
and
shewes
him
great
ioy
&
loue
,
for
that
he
was
brother
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
said
that
neuer
in
all
their
〈◊〉
they
saw
a
childe
of
so
great
perfection
,
but
this
was
nothing
to
that
which
they
would
haue
done
,
if
they
had
knowen
how
that
be
should
quench
the
fury
&
perillous
discord
that
was
betwéene
them
,
for
certaintie
if
it
had
not
ben
done
by
him
,
neither
the
one
nor
the
other
should
haue
liued
in
security
,
and
for
that
this
history
shall
make
perfect
relation
in
his
time
,
at
this
time
ther
shall
be
no
more
said
,
till
such
time
as
the
wise
men
in
their
writing
of
this
happy
prince
shall
agree
in
one
&
be
conformable
,
which
shall
be
at
the
age
of
sixe
yeares
▪
as
is
aforesaid
,
for
till
that
time
he
was
nourished
&
brought
vp
in
the
court
of
the
Emperour
his
rather
,
vnder
the
cockering
and
wing
of
the
Empresse
his
mother
.
And
now
let
vs
returne
vnto
the
faire
princes
Lindabrides
,
for
we
haue
great
&
meruailous
things
to
declare
of
hir
.
¶
How
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
before
the
Emperour
,
Princes
,
and
knights
of
his
court
,
did
aske
a
boone
of
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
hee
granted
it
vnto
hir
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
hee
must
depart
out
of
the
Empire
of
Greece
.
Chap.
53.
LOng
time
was
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
in
the
court
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
without
hauing
any
mirth
,
ioy
or
pleasure
,
for
that
she
saw
that
the
knight
of
the
Sun
did
frequent
very
much
with
the
princesse
Claridiana
,
and
that
it
seemed
vnto
hir
that
he
did
not
loue
hir
,
as
before
time
he
did
,
&
being
fully
perswaded
,
that
alone
the
presence
of
the
princesse
was
the
occasion
of
all
hir
euill
,
many
times
she
imagined
with
hir selfe
how
and
by
what
meanes
she
might
take
him
away
from
the
same
,
for
that
hir
great
beauty
might
take
effect
in
him
,
so
that
shée
might
liue
in
more
security
,
and
for
that
hir
minde
was
alwaies
troubled
ther
with
,
in
the
end
shée
determined
to
doo
as
you
shall
heare
.
Upon
a
day
at
such
time
as
was
ioyned
together
the
Emperour
&
all
the
Princes
and
worthy
knights
of
the
court
with
the
empresse
&
the
princesse
Claridiana
,
&
all
their
Ladies
&
gentlewomen
,
making
great
feasts
&
pastimes
in
the
great
hall
,
at
such
time
as
they
were
most
in
quiet
,
the
princesse
Lindabrides
rose
vp
&
stood
on
hir
féet
,
&
when
they
saw
hir
demeanour
they
all
held
their
peace
.
Then
she
began
to
speake
saying
.
High
&
mightie
Emperour
of
Greece
,
if
valiant
princes
&
mightie
knights
for
the
maintaining
of
their
honours
,
are
bound
to
respect
ladies
&
damsels
in
their
necessities
,
as
by
their
promise
&
oath
made
,
at
such
time
as
they
doe
receiue
the
order
of
knighthood
:
in
how
much
more
are
bound
so
high
princes
&
knights
as
are
heere
present
,
to
respect
a
damsell
of
so
high
estate
as
I
am
,
who
is
banished
from
hir
natura●…l
contr●…
,
&
come
into
this
,
as
vnto
the
court
of
the
most
hghest
king
&
emperour
in
all
the
world
.
And
heere
I
say
of
truth
that
if
the
remedy
of
my
necessitie
doth
now
faile
me
according
as
I
would
haue
it
,
&
denied
me
by
so
high
princes
,
with
iust
reason
may
I
account
my selfe
for
an
vnhappye
damsell
.
Therfore
now
in
the
presence
of
you
all
I
doo
aske
a
boone
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
who
is
heere
present
,
the
which
I
doe
request
that
it
may
be
by
him
granted
vnto
me
,
and
likewise
consented
,
by
you
most
high
&
mighty
Emperour
&
Empresse
.
All
that
were
ther
present
were
very
much
amazed
at
the
words
of
the
princesse
,
not
knowing
what
should
be
the
occasion
why
she
should
aske
that
boone
.
And
first
shee
would
haue
the
grant
before
she
would
declare
hir
demand
.
Then
the
knight
of
the
Sun
séeing
that
the
princesse
would
not
declare
,
but
first
he
must
be
bound
,
he
was
somewhat
in
a
confusion
,
although
he
made
no
outward
shew
therof
:
but
vpon
a
sodaine
,
he
arose
vp
,
&
answered
hir
,
saying
.
My
good
Lady
,
if
the
dutie
which
I
haue
to
serue
so
high
a
damsell
as
you
are
,
you
doo
not
esteeme
in
more
,
then
in
giuing
of
my
word
,
héere
I
doo
graunt
vnto
you
the
boone
,
which
you
haue
asked
of
me
,
although
of
the
securitie
I
am
agréeued
,
according
to
the
benefits
which
I
haue
receiued
.
Uery
well
sayd
the
princesse
,
séeing
that
you
haue
granted
me
of
your
part
,
likewise
I
desire
the
emperour
,
&
my
Lady
the
empresse
,
to
consent
&
graunt
vnto
the
same
,
that
I
may
bée
sure
of
all
parts
.
We
doo
graunt
vnto
the
same
,
said
the
Emperour
&
the
empresse
,
laughing
very
much
at
the
security
which
the
princesse
●…emanded
.
Now
shall
you
vnderstand
the
boone
the
which
I
doo
craue
,
saide
the
Princesse
.
For
so
much
as
the
knight
of
the
Sun
did
ouercome
the
prince
Meridian
my
brother
,
&
that
I
remained
in
his
power
,
that
now
he
cary
me
vnto
the
court
of
the
Emperour
my
father
,
whereas
it
is
great
reason
that
I
doo
retourne
,
being
so
long
since
my
departure
from
thence
.
And
this
I
will
that
he
shall
doo
,
without
hauing
the
company
of
any
other
.
When
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
heard
the
boone
which
the
princesse
demaunded
,
hee
was
in
a
great
confusion
,
but
the
princesse
Claridiana
,
was
in
a
greater
,
but
yet
shée
made
signes
vnto
him
with
hir
eyes
,
that
hée
should
grant
vnto
hir
all
that
euer
shée
would
demaund
,
for
that
it
seemed
vnto
hir
,
that
with
his
hon●…ur
he
could
not
〈◊〉
to
the
contrary
,
&
ther
the
knight
of
the
Sun
did
promise
hir
to
beare
hir
company
till
shee
came
vnto
the
court
of
the
Emperour
hir
father
,
&
although
it
grieued
the
emperour
&
the
empresse
very
much
,
yet
ther
was
no
other
remedy
,
but
he
must
consent
vnto
the
same
by
the
voice
of
all
the
rest
,
&
being
concluded
,
their
departure
was
determined
to
be
within
eight
daies
following
,
with
great
ioy
vnto
the
princes
Lindabrides
,
&
much
griefe
vnto
the
princesse
Claridiana
,
who
seeing
that
the
knight
of
the
Sun
must
needs
absent
himselfe
from
hir
,
&
that
it
was
for
his
honor
to
depart
into
far
countries
,
hir
sorrowfull
heuines
was
so
great
,
that
she
could
not
dissemble
so
much
,
but
some
part
thereof
was
discouered
,
&
especially
considering
the
perillous
companye
that
he
had
with
him
,
for
that
in
hir
presence
,
she
had
no
feare
of
the
princesse
Lindabrides
,
for
that
the
singularity
of
hir
excellent
beautye
did
fully
assure
hir
,
but
in
hir
absence
shee
knew
not
what
continuall
conuersation
of
the
princes
,
with
the
knight
of
the
Sun
would
work
,
and
being
much
troubled
with
this
thought
,
she
called
vnto
hir
a
damsell
,
one
of
them
that
was
most
priuat
with
hir
,
&
said
:
Arcania
my
welbeloued
damsell
,
as
vnto
the
most
trustiest
&
faithfullest
seruant
the
which
I
haue
,
I
will
commit
one
thing
into
thy
hands
,
the
which
doth
importune
no
more
but
to
haue
continuall
pleasure
,
ioy
,
&
quietnesse
,
or
els
sorrow
&
heauinesse
all
the
dates
of
my
life
,
and
I
would
you
should
put
such
diligence
therm
,
as
euer
you
haue
had
in
things
which
belongeth
vnto
me
.
You
doo
vnderstand
how
that
the
knight
of
the
Sun
hath
promised
vnto
the
princesse
Lindabrides
to
goe
with
hir
and
beare
hir
company
vnto
the
court
of
the
emperour
hir
father
,
&
I
knowing
the
great
worthinesse
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
as
well
in
his
owne
person
,
as
in
his
high
estate
&
bl●nd
from
whence
he
doth
discend
,
I
am
fully
determined
in
my
hart
,
consenting
thervnto
my
father
the
Emperour
and
the
Empresse
my
Mother
,
to
take
him
for
my
husband
,
as
the
most
highest
and
mightiest
Knight
in
all
the
world
,
and
for
the
accomplishing
and
performing
of
this
,
I
finde
nothing
more
contrary
,
then
the
great
beautye
of
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
&
the
continuall
conuersation
which
the
knight
of
the
Sun
shall
haue
with
hir
in
this
long
iourney
,
and
my
pretence
is
to
know
whether
the
knight
of
the
Sun
doth
●…eare
any
affection
or
loue
vnto
the
Princesse
Lyndabrides
or
no
,
for
if
it
doo
so
fall
out
,
it
is
not
conuenient
that
so
high
a
damsell
as
I
am
should
set
my
minde
any
more
on
him
,
&
the
better
that
I
may
be
certified
hee
〈◊〉
,
it
doth
behooue
me
that
you
goe
in
his
company
▪
&
whatsoeuer
thing
shall
happen
vnto
thée
by
the
way
▪
(
but
death
)
doo
not
leaue
their
company
till
such
time
as
the
knight
of
the
Sun
doth
returne
againe
into
his
Country
,
&
doing
so
,
you
may
very
perfectly
&
truly
informe
me
of
all
that
shall
passe
.
Then
Arcan●…a
vnderstanding
all
that
the
princes
had
said
vnto
hir
,
she
kn●…eled
downe
before
hir
,
&
kissed
hir
hands
for
the
great
curtesie
which
●…he
shewed
vnto
hir
,
because
she
did
commit
that
secret
vnto
hir
before
any
other
,
&
promised
hir
to
put
all
d●…ligence
therein
that
was
possible
.
And
not
long
after
that
the
dams●…ll
had
made
an
ende
of
saying
these
wordes
,
when
the
knight
of
the
Sun
●…hanced
to
passe
that
way
wheras
they
were
all
alone
,
&
his
comming
was
,
with
pretence
to
speake
with
the
princesse
,
if
time
and
place
might
serue
.
●…nd
when
he
saw
hir
all
alone
with
hir
damsell
,
hee
drew
nigh
vnto
hi●…
&
made
great
reuerence
,
&
almost
scarce
able
to
vtter
his
words
,
he
said
:
M●…
Lady
&
mistres
,
what
is
it
that
your
soueraigne
highn●…sse
will
command
this
sorrow●…ull
knight
,
who
bannished
out
of
your
pres●…nce
,
doth
go●…
to
accomplish
that
〈◊〉
which
he
hath
grant●…d
vnto
the
princes
Lindabrides
.
The
almightie
God
doth
know
my
lord
,
said
the
princesse
how
great
a
〈◊〉
it
●…s
vnto
me
your
departure
,
and
how
solitary
I
shall
find
my selfe
in
your
absence
,
but
for
that
we
are
more
●…ound
●…o
regard
our
honours
&
high
estate
,
th●…n
●…o
b●…e
〈◊〉
vnto
our
wi●…s
.
I
can
doo
●…o
otherwise
but
〈◊〉
then
my selfe
the
b●…st
I
may
for
this
departure
,
&
comfort
my
●…elfe
with
the
ho●…e
I
haue
of
your
spéedy
returne
,
but
one
thing
I
wi●…l
that
you
take
with
you
of
mine
in
this
iourn●…y
,
to
put
you
in
〈◊〉
of
this
Countrie
,
and
of
hir
that
gaue
it
you
.
And
in
this
Damsell
w●…o
is
the
faithfullest
&
best
beloued
that
I
haue
,
who
will
serue
you
with
that
loyaltie
and
care
as
shée
doth
owe
vnto
my
seruice
,
and
shee
shall
not
depart
from
you
till
such
time
as
you
returne
vnto
my
presence
.
With
great
ioy
and
pleasure
did
the
knight
of
the
Sun
receiue
that
〈◊〉
and
〈◊〉
which
the
Princes
shewed
vnto
him
,
and
with
the
great
sorrow
which
he
felt
for
his
departure
from
hir
sayd
:
Now
I
say
that
my
departure
is
good
,
and
all
my
griefe
turned
vnto
glory
,
for
that
your
soueraigne
highness●…
in
this
great
perplerity
hath
giuen
mée
company
,
now
with
great
reason
shall
I
traua●…le
in

,
for
that
your
royall
person
doth
gri●…ue
at
my
departure
,
and
the
great
benefit
which
you
offer
vnto
mee
,
in
this
your
Damsell
Arcan●…a
,
I
doo
receiue

and
it
shall

vnto

one
that
so
long
time
hath
beene
in
company
and
conuersation
of
your

,
although
this
damsell
to

mee
to

this
countrie

Chapter
54.
CErtayne
dayes
after
the
departure
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
did
Rosicleer
abide
in
the
Citie
of
Constantinople
,
the
more
for
to
giue
contentment
vnto
the
Emperour
&
Empresse
his
knowen
parents
,
them
for
any
contentment
he
had
with
himselfe
although
he
was
singularly
well
beloued
of
his
friends
&
vassalls
,
and
in
such
sort
,
that
if
his
hart
had
not
beene
set
&
fully
satisfied
in
another
place
,
in
all
the
world
hée
could
not
finde
himselfe
so
well
as
in
that
countrie
,
for
that
all
the
Princes
&
knights
that
were
came
●…hether
to
celebrate
the
great
feasts
&
triumphs
,
dyd
still
remaine
th●…r
in
the
court
,
for
that
the
Emperour
riceiued
great
pleasure
of
their
companie
,
for
which
occasion
ther
were
none
of
them
departed
:
but
the
old
sore
of
loue
of
the
Princesse
Oliuia
did
feaster
a
new
,
by
reason
of
his
great
idlenesse
,
there
was
nothing
that
was
sufficient
to
giue
him
any
delight
,
but
continually
hée
was
very
sad
&
pensiue
,
and
full
of
care
,
so
that
the
Emperour
&
Empresse
with
all
the
other
Princes
and
Knights
his
friends
,
beeléeued
that
hée
had
some
secret
in●…irmity
,
which
was
the
occasion
of
his
sorrowfull
demeanour
,
and
was
a
very
griefe
vnto
them
all
,
and
by
reason
that
this
sorrowful
and
amorous
passion
did
dayly
in●…erase
more
and
more
in
him
,
and
made
him
so
carefull
that
hée
could
not
take
any
kinde
of
rest
nor
quietnesse
in
the
Court
of
the
Emperour
his
father
,
hée
fully
determined
to
depart
from
thence
,
and
considering
the
great
obligation
in
which
the
King
Sacridoro
was
bound
vnto
him
,
hée
could
not
choose
,
but
with
great
reason
request
to
haue
his
companie
.
So
one
day
finding
himselfe
all
alone
with
him
,
hee
tould
him
what
hée
was
determined
to
dooe
,
and
how
that
his
w●…ll
was
to
goe
vnto
England
,
and
there
to
certifie
him selfe
fully
and
wholly
,
of
all
that
had
past
with
the
princesse
Oliuia
.
And
although
it
did
not
séeme
well
vnto
the
King
Sacridoro
,
that
Rosicleer
should
leaue
the
Emperour
his
father
and
his
mother
,
at
such
time
,
as
they
cannot
but
receiue
great
sorrow
&
griese
for
his
departure
,
yet
seein●…
his
determined
purpose
therein
,
and
the
small
contentment
which
hee
receiued
in
that
court
,
hee
could
not
but
néeds
must
consent
vnto
all
that
he
requested
,
and
offer
him selfe
in
person
to
beare
him
〈◊〉
.
whether
so
euer
his
pleasure
was
.
So
béetwéene
these
two
friends
was
conc●…uded
when
they
●…ould
depart
,
and
in
great
secret
,
for
that
they
would
not
bée
disturbed
by
any
.
And
so
in
a
night
,
they
two
all
alone
,
●…nd
one
page
,
they
departed
:
And
Rosicleer
,
left
a
Letier
written
for
the
Emperour
his
Father
,
〈◊〉
hee
gaue
him
to
vnderstand
,
how
that
hée
and
the
King
Sacridoro
,
went
vpon
a
iourney
,
the
which
did
import
them
very
much
.
And
desire
him
of
pard●…n
,
for
that
they
were
deyar●…ed
without
his
lisence
:
and
that
their
returne
should
bee
in
as
short
time
as
was
possible
.
So
the
next
day
after
theyr
departure
,
they
were
found
lacking
,
the
Emperour
asked
for
them
,
and
strayght
way
was
brought
vnto
him
the
letter
which
Rosicleer
left
beehinde
him
,
by
the
which
hée
vnderstood
his
departure
,
for
the
which
he
and
the
Empresse
Briana
,
and
all
the
rest
of
the
Princes
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
in
the
Court
,
were
very
sorrowfull
.
But
for
that
he
〈◊〉
in
his
letter
that
his
returne
●…ould
bee
with
〈◊〉
▪
they
did
comfort
themselues
with
that
hope
,
praying
vnto
God
to
prosp●…r
him
in
his
iourney
and
to
returne
with
health
.
So
these
two
perf●…ct
and
faithfull
friends
,
trauailed
with
so
great
spéede
,
all
that
night
,
that
the
next
day
in
the
morning
,
they
found
themselues
a
great
way
departed
from
that
mightie
Citie
of
Constantinople
.
And
beeing
certayne
that
none
,
in
the
beehalfe
of
the
Emperour
,
would
●…ollow
them
,
somwhat
for
to
ease
their
horse
of
the
great
trauayl●…
they
had
al
that
night
,
they
alighted
at
the
house
of
a
foster
,
or
keeper
of
a
Forrest
,
somwhat
out
of
the
broad
way
.
And
after
that
they
had
well
refreshed
themselues
and
their
Horse
,
they
returned
vnto
their
trauaile
,
wherein
they
endewred
many
daies
,
in
the
which
they
dyd
meruailous
and
wonderfull
deedes
:
all
the
which
this
historie
doth
leaue
of
the
telling
,
for
if
that
all
things
which
was
done
should
bée
made
mencion
heere
,
there
would
bée
no
●…nde
of
this
booke
.
To
conclude
,
of
necessitie
they
must
needes
passe
through
all
the
whole
Countrie
of
Grecia
,
and
the
great
Ocean
Sea
for
to
imbarke
themselues
for
England
,
(
whereas
hée
thought
the
time
long
till
hee
came
thether
)
and
not
taking
the
right
way
,
in
the
ende
of
many
dayes
,
they
〈◊〉
in
the
borders
of
the
great
Empire
of
Russia
,
on
that
part
which
falleth
toward
high
Almaine
.
And
trauayling
therein
certaine
〈◊〉
,
at
such
time
as
they
had
passed
the
greater
part
thereof
:
vppon
a
day
,
in
the
same
way
wherein
they
trauailed
,
they
saw
comming
towards
them
,
a
great
bushment
of
more
then
tw●…ntie
Knights
.
And
when
they
came
nigh
vnto
them
they
saw
one
in
the
middest
of
them
that
dyd
surmount
all
the
rest
of
the
companie
two
spans
in
height
,
and
so
big
of
all
his
members
,
that
it
did
appeare
hée
should
bee
of
mightie
&
great
force
of
armes
.
They
brought
also
with
them
three
Damsels
,
with
their
hands
bound
,
and
vpon
their
palfraies
,
who
made
meruailous
great
and
pittifull
lamentation
,
and
with
great
shrikes
they
did
giue
to
vnderstand
,
that
they
were
carried
away
by
force
.
So
when
these
two
va●…iant
Knights
came
nig●…
vnto
them
,
they
were
moo●…ed
vnto
great
compassion
in
such
sort
that
theyr
couragious
stomackes
could
not
suffer
that
before
them
any
damsell
should
hée
perforced
,
and
Rosicleer
comming
nigh
vnto
that
great
knight
,
who
appeared
by
the
riches
of
his
armor
,
to
bée
Lord
ouer
all
the
rest
,
hee
sayde
vnto
him
in
this
manner
.
T●…ll
mée
if
it
please
you
for
God●…
loue
,
what
great
euill
●…ath
these
Damsels
committed
,
that
they
doo
deserue
to
bée
●…arried
thus
prisoners
.
Then
the
knight
who
had
his
bea●…er
lift
vp
,
with
a
fierce
countenance
hee
did
beehold
them
,
●…nd
as
though
hee
were
very
angry
at
that
demaund
,
with
●…reat
pr●…de
hee
answered
him
and
sayde
.
From
whence
hast
thou
had
so
great
hardinesse
,
thou
foolish
and
simple
Knight
,
that
thou
darest
to
aske
of
the
mightie
Fulmineo
,
the
occasion
wherefore
hée
dooth
apprehend
Damsels
.
It
dooth
well
appeare
that
thou
art
a
stranger
in
this
Countrie
,
then
thou
hast
not
heard
of
my
great
fame
.
And
for
that
thou
mayst
tell
newes
of
my
great
wonders
,
when
thou
art
in
thy
Countrie
,
thou
shalt
vnderstand
that
I
am
called
Eulmineo
,
as
I
haue
tould
thée
:
And
I
am
sonne
vnto
the
mightie
Gyant
,
Brumaleon
,
Lord
ouer
seuen
castels
that
I
haue
in
this
Countrie
,
and
of
so
great
strength
,
that
they
are
sufficient
to
make
theyr
defence
against
all
the
whole
world
.
It
is
now
ten
yéeres
since
my
father
died
,
and
since
that
time
hetherto
,
I
haue
it
for
a
custome
,
to
leaue
neither
Ladies
nor
damsels
,
that
séemeth
faire
in
mine
eies
,
but
that
I
doo
take
them
parforce
,
and
doo
carrie
them
vnto
my
Castels
,
and
dooe
solas
my selfe
with
them
.
And
when
I
doo
finde
others
that
dooth
better
content
mee
.
I
doo
take
them
and
let
the
other
goe
:
so
that
I
haue
in
my
Castels
,
great
store
of
them
.
And
although
the
Emperour
of
Russia
being
very
angry
and
wrathfull
of
my
dooings
,
hath
prooued
to
driue
mee
out
of
his
countrie
,
yet
hath
hée
neuer
been
able
to
doo
it
,
but
all
onely
in
hearing
mee
named
,
hée
dooth
tremble
with
feare
,
and
alwayes
I
haue
in
my
company
these
knights
as
thou
seest
,
and
in
my
castels
I
haue
as
many
moe
,
not
so
much
for
the
guard
and
defence
of
my
person
,
as
for
the
authority
of
my
Lordship
.
Héere
haue
I
tould
vnto
thée
knight
,
all
that
thou
hast
demaunded
of
mée
,
that
thou
maist
tell
thereof
when
the●…
doost
finde
thy selfe
in
place
,
whereas
they
haue
not
heard
of
my
fame
.
And
in
sayeng
these
woords
hée
left
them
,
and
would
haue
passed
forwards
his
iourney
,
but
Rosicleer
,
and
the
King
Sacridoro
,
were
very
much
amazed
when
they
heard
of
that
euill
and
abhominable
custome
,
&
determined
to
put
their
liues
in
aduenture
,
to
cause
that
great
knight
to
amend
his
life
,
and
to
leaue
of
that
euill
custome
,
Rosicleer
put
him-selfe
beefore
him
and
sayde
.
I
would
very
gladly
desire
to
know
of
thée
Fulmineo
,
if
the
contentment
which
thou
doost
receiue
in
this
thy
biuellish
lyfe
,
can
suffer
to
receiue
any
counsayle
,
and
considering
how
abhominable
thy
woorkes
are
,
and
thou
wilt
acknowledge
the
errour
in
the
which
thou
art
,
repenting
thée
of
the
same
,
and
neuer
after
to
vse
them
any
more
,
and
turne
ouer
a
new
leafe
,
taking
vnto
thy selfe
some
other
kinde
of
life
that
may
bée
more
profit
vnto
thy
body
,
and
honour
vnto
the
person
,
but
principally
for
thy
soule
,
and
in
dooing
so
,
thy
high
and
mightie
Lord
of
all
powers
,
of
his
bountifull
and
great
mercie
will
pardon
thee
of
all
these
great
euils
which
thou
hast
done
,
and
thou
shalt
excuse
the
selfe
of
the
infernall
paines
,
to
the
which
thy
soule
is
condemned
,
and
if
thou
wilt
not
dooe
this
,
béehold
the
iustice
of
God
who
can
no
longer
suffer
thy
abhominable
déedes
,
and
séeing
that
there
is
no
amendement
in
thy
lyfe
,
when
thou
●…oost
thinck
least
thereof
,
will
fall
vpon
thee
to
thy
vtter
destruction
.
Oh
straunge
Knight
,
sayd
Fulmineo
,
how
I
am
now
fullie
certified
that
thou
art
altogether
foolish
,
in
that
●…hou
doost
put
thy selfe
to
preach
vnto
mée
,
and
to
giue
mée
counsaile
,
but
I
my selfe
am
in
the
fault
thereof
,
beecause
I
stayed
and
vsed
words
with
thée
,
and
although
I
gaue
thée
to
vnderstand
of
my
woneerfull
déedes
,
yet
did
I
not
tell
thée
the
principall
of
them
,
the
which
I
will
giue
thée
to
vnderstand
,
béecause
it
shall
bée
a
warning
vnto
thée
how
to
returne
an
answere
to
mée
any
more
.
Know
that
béeing
my
Father
Brumaleon
,
one
of
the
most
strongest
and
valiantest
Gyauntes
which
was
to
bée
found
in
all
the
world
,
onely
for
reprehending
mée
for
a
rape
the
which
I
dyd
vnto
a
Damsell
,
and
did
offer
to
giue
mée
counsayle
to
the
contrarie
,
I
did
defie
him
euen
to
the
battell
,
and
hand
to
hand
〈◊〉
slew
him
,
although
as
then
I
was
very
young
and
tender
●…f
age
,
for
at
that
time
I
was
not
ful
eighteene
yéeres
of
age
.
Now
séeing
I
did
this
against
mine
owne
father
for
giuing
●…ée
counsayle
,
consider
what
I
will
doo
against
thée
,
if
thou
〈◊〉
stand
in
contention
héerein
,
and
make
mée
angry
.
And
in
saying
these
words
,
without
speaking
any
more
,
(
for
〈◊〉
was
not
his
custome
to
stay
long
with
any
)
hée
broched
his
furious
Horse
with
his
Spurres
,
commaunding
his
knights
to
proceede
forwards
hée
would
haue
departed
,
but
that
valiant
Knight
Rosicleer
who
was
a
great
enimie
vnto
such
as
hée
was
,
and
could
not
suffer
that
any
in
his
presence
should
receiue
rebuke
or
shame
,
and
especially
〈◊〉
,
séeing
that
it
was
labour
lost
to
speake
vnto
that
vile
Gyaunt
,
hee
tooke
his
speare
in
his
hand
and
put
himselfe
beefore
him
,
saying
.
For
as
much
as
thy
eares
are
deafe
for
to
receiue
counsa●…le
,
choose
vnto
thy selfe
that
part
of
the
field
that
dooth
best
please
thee
,
for
that
possiblie
with
the
death
thou
shalt
know
how
profitable
it
will
bée
to
amend
thy
life
,
therfore
take
to
thee
thy
weapon
and
defend
thy selfe
,
for
it
doth
béehooue
thee
by
force
to
dooe
that
which
thou
wilt
not
of
thy
owne
good
will
,
for
alwayes
I
haue
heard
say
,
that
the
euill
and
naughtie
trée
it
is
best
to
dig
him
vp
by
the
roote
.
When
Rosicleer
had
sayd
these
words
,
hée
turned
about
his
horse
,
and
tooke
that
part
of
the
field
that
liked
him
best
,
and
with
his
speare
in
his
hand
hee
put
himselfe
beefore
Fulmineo
,
who
laughing
very
much
beegan
to
goe
forwards
his
way
with
great
anger
,
saying
.
Captiue
Knight
,
thou
shalt
not
get
by
mée
so
much
honour
,
in
saying
thou
diddest
enter
alo●…e
in
battayle
with
mee
.
Then
Rosicleer
sayd
:
Thou
vile
and
euill
beast
,
and
the
head
of
all
pride
and
presumption
,
take
vnto
thee
thy
weapon
and
defend
thy selfe
from
〈◊〉
.
Then
Fulmineo
when
hée
heard
this
,
with
great
●…re
●…ee
pulled
downe
the
beauer
of
his
helme
,
and
aparted
himsel●…e
from
his
Knights
,
without
speare
of
swoord
in
his
hand
,
and
sayde
:
Come
against
mee
,
thou
foolish
and
caprime
knight
,
that
for
as
much
as
thou
hast
heard
of
my
déedes
,
it
shall
bée
good
that
by
experience
thou
doost
prooue
my
force
and
strength
,
for
that
without
speare
or
other
weapon
I
will
take
from
thée
all
thy
armour
&
weapon
that
thou
bringest
with
thée
.
Then
Rosicleer
béeing
very
angry
at
the
great
pride
of
Fulmineo
came
vnto
him
and
saide
:
Brute
and
diuellish
brast
,
take
vnto
thée
thy
launce
and
sword
,
and
come
against
mée
,
for
that
I
am
not
such
a
knight
that
will
combat
with
thée
with
any
aduantage
,
&
for
that
Fulmenio
did
stand
in
contention
not
to
take
any
weapon
,
Rosicleer
threw
his
speare
from
him
&
assalted
him
with
his
swoord
in
his
hand
,
&
stroke
him
such
a
blow
vpon
his
helme
,
that
he
made
him
decline
his
head
downe
to
his
brest
,
&
Fulmineo
in
all
his
life
neuer
receiued
the
like
blow
,
that
he
thought
verily
his
teeth
had
ben
broken
in
his
head
with
beating
one
against
another
,
&
being
very
much
amazed
at
the
great
strength
of
that
knight
,
&
séemed
vnto
him
to
bee
such
a
one
,
that
without
weapon
he
could
not
ouercome
him
,
he
drew
out
from
his
side
a
great
&
broad
sword
,
and
went
against
Rosicleer
to
strike
him
on
the
head
with
great
strength
,
that
chau●…cing
vpon
his
helme
it
made
him
somwhat
astonied
▪
&
if
his
helme
had
not
ben
very
good
,
he
had
clonen
him
downe
to
the
brest
▪
but
Fulmineo
did
not
aduance
himselfe
very
much
in
giuing
that
blow
,
for
the
valiant
Rosicleer
did
strike
him
such
another
on
his
right
shoulder
,
that
by
reason
of
the
great
strength
of
his
armour
his
sword
could
not
cut
it
,
yet
for
all
that
it
did
charge
him
so
much
,
that
if
hee
had
not
imbraced
himselfe
about
his
horse
neck
,
he
had
fallen
downe
to
the
ground
:
Oh
how
greatly
am●…zed
was
Fulmineo
at
the
great
force
and
strength
of
Rosicleer
,
for
when
he
saw
with
what
courage
hee
stroke
his
blowes
,
and
feeling
the
mightie
force
of
them
,
he
said
with
in
himselfe
:
By
fortune
is
ther
returned
againe
into
the
world
that
Greeke
Achilles
,
or
that
valiant
Hector
,
for
that
he
was
fully
perswaded
that
he
was
not
in
all
the
world
that
could
bring
him
into
so
great
extremitie
,
&
yet
he
hoped
to
kill
them
both
,
if
they
entred
into
battaile
with
him
,
&
for
that
he
was
one
of
the
strongest
&
brauest
knights
in
all
the
world
,
without
abating
any
thing
of
his
great
strength
,
but
still
incresing
his
couragious
furye
,
in
such
sort
,
that
hée
béeganne
to
lay
vppon
the
valyaunt
and
stout
Rosicleer
,
with
so
strong
blowes
,
that
if
hée
had
béene
an
〈◊〉
of
〈◊〉
,
hée
had
surely
cloue
it
in
péeces
.
Likewise
if
it
had
beene
one
other
knight
with
other
armour
,
he
had
ben
clouen
asunder
.
But
by
reason
that
the
valiant
Rosicleer
was
in
perfect
security
with
his
armour
,
(
although
somtimes
with
the
great
fury
of
his
blowes
,
he
was
astomed
,
&
almost
from
himselfe
)
yet
he
did
answere
him
,
with
other
blowes
of
so
great
fury
that
Fulmineo
,
being
tormented
with
them
,
did
roare
like
a
Bull.
So
that
in
this
contension
&
rigor●…us
combat
,
these
two
endured
more
then
two
houres
,
&
euery
blow
that
was
stroke
,
did
make
each
other
to
doubt
of
his
life
.
And
for
that
I
will
not
bée
tedious
,
to
tell
all
things
perticulerly
,
the
which
was
done
in
this
well
foughten
&
perillous
battaile
,
I
will
conclude
&
tell
you
what
hapned
in
the
end
.
It
was
ordained
by
the
diuine
prouidence
,
that
this
mighty
Fulmineo
,
should
make
an
end
of
his
euill
&
diuellish
life
:
who
being
very
angry
with
himselfe
,
&
blaspheming
against
all
his
goods
,
&
against
all
things
both
in
the
heauens
&
on
the
earth
,
for
that
one
alone
knight
did
endure
so
long
in
battaile
against
him
.
With
an
infernall
fury
which
he
had
within
him
,
(
as
it
seemed
by
the
great
quantity
of
smoake
which
came
foorth
at
his
beauer
)
he
went
against
Rosicleer
,
&
with
both
his
hands
as
he
stroke
him
such
a
blow
vpon
his
inchanted
&
rich
helme
,
that
if
his
sword
had
not
glanced
vpon
his
shoulder
,
●…o
doubt
he
had
ben
in
great
perill
.
Yet
for
all
that
,
it
was
so
terrible
,
that
it
tooke
his
remembrance
from
him
,
&
made
him
to
fall
forwards
vpon
his
saddle
bow
,
in
such
sort
,
that
all
men
did
think
that
he
would
haue
fallen
down
dead
to
the
ground
.
But
this
good
knight
did
not
long
remaine
in
this
trance
,
but
came
againe
to
himselfe
,
&
with
a
trise
hée
setled
himselfe
in
his
saddle
,
&
stroke
his
horse
Rondarte
,
with
his
spurs
,
with
so
●…urious
wrath
&
mortall
courage
,
that
the
earth
seemed
to
tremble
vnder
him
:
&
raising
himself
a
good
span
in
his
sadle
,
he
went
to
wards
his
enemy
,
&
stroke
him
such
a
blow
vpon
his
steely
helme
,
that
he
cloue
it
a
sunder
,
&
cut
his
head
all
to
péeces
.
And
with
the
great
strength
of
the
blow
,
his
borse
was
so
charged
,
that
he
bowed
his
knées
to
the
ground
,
&
so
remained
a
good
space
before
he
arose
vp
againe
.
In
this
sort
the
euill
Fulmineo
did
make
his
end
,
&
his
soule
condempned
vnto
hell
,
wheras
with
continuall
torment
he
is
plagued
for
his
euill
déeds
,
as
shall
be
done
vnto
those
that
in
this
world
with
so
great
pride
doth
commit
the
like
offence
,
if
that
by
the
permission
of
god
he
doth
not
repent
him
of
them
before
he
die
,
for
that
his
neighbour
béeing
by
him
iniured
,
at
the
day
of
iudgement
he
will
aske
vengeance
of
the
same
.
But
when
the
knights
of
Fulmineo
saw
their
Lord
slaine
&
dead
,
they
were
greatly
amazed
to
sée
him
so
soone
ouercome
&
slaine
by
one
alone
knight
,
that
they
were
without
all
hart
&
courage
for
to
reuenge
his
death
,
and
remained
all
astonied
and
amazed
without
any
moouing
,
as
though
they
had
ben
a
company
of
Images
made
of
stone
,
&
beholding
of
Rosicleer
,
who
seemed
vnto
them
to
be
a
knight
sent
from
god
to
punish
&
chastise
the
euill
déeds
and
life
of
Fulmineo
.
So
after
that
Rosicleer
had
giuen
thanks
vnto
almighty
god
for
his
great
victory
hauing
compassion
vpon
the
damsels
which
they
brought
with
them
tied
,
he
went
towards
them
for
to
set
them
at
liberty
.
And
when
he
came
vnto
the
first
,
he
straight
waies
knew
hir
to
be
Fidelia
,
one
of
the
damsels
of
the
princesse
Oliuia
,
she
whom
in
England
brought
vnto
him
the
sentence
of
banishment
,
&
straight
waies
calling
to
remembrance
all
that
euer
had
passed
he
receiued
so
great
sorrow
&
griefe
,
that
his
hart
was
all
couered
with
sadnesse
in
such
sort
,
that
cleane
void
of
all
remembrance
he
fell
from
his
horse
to
the
ground
as
though
he
had
ben
dead
.
This
his
great
friend
the
king
Sacridoro
,
when
hee
saw
him
in
that
traunce
,
with
a
trice
he
alighted
from
his
horse
and
went
towardes
him
with
great
ang●…ish
and
griefe
,
not
knowing
what
it
should
be
the
occasion
of
that
sodaine
&
strange
alteration
,
and
taking
him
in
his
armes
,
he
lifted
him
vp
from
the
ground
,
thinking
that
in
giuing
him
ayre
hee
would
retourne
agayne
vnto
his
remembraunce
,
but
all
that
euer
hée
could
doe
,
did
profite
him
very
little
,
for
that
hée
was
in
such
sort
,
that
he
séemed
to
haue
no
li●…
within
him
.
Then
the
knights
of
Fulmenio
,
who
were
verie
glad
&
ioyfull
for
the
death
of
their
Lord
,
did
vnloose
the
damsels
,
&
the
knights
with
the
damsels
came
together
for
to
help
the
king
Sacridoro
,
to
lift
him
from
the
ground
,
&
to
carrie
him
vnto
one
of
the
castles
of
Fulmenio
,
which
was
there
nigh
at
hand
,
and
when
they
pu●…led
of
his
helme
for
to
giue
him
are
,
the
damsell
Fidelia
knew
him
straight
waies
by
his
faire
face
,
although
in
many
〈◊〉
before
she
had
not
〈◊〉
him
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
he
was
somwhat
al●…red
,
&
knowing
him
&
seeing
him
in
that
estate
&
perplexity
,
&
shedding
many
teares
she
wept
ve●…y
vitterly
ouer
him
,
although
otherwise
she
was
halfe
from
hir selfe
with
great
ioy
that
she
had
found
him
,
for
that
many
daies
before
she
had
trauatled
in
his
d●…maund
,
&
for
that
the
time
was
long
,
&
Rosicleer
ca●…e
not
vnto
himselfe
,
and
they
seeing
that
it
was
a
sound
accompanied
with
anguish
&
very
deepe
sigbes
,
those
of
Fulmenio
did
take
him
in
their
armes
,
&
with
the
helpe
of
the
king
Sacridoro
they
carted
him
vnto
a
castle
that
was
ther
●…igh
at
hand
,
wheras
they
said
him
vpon
a
bed
,
&
when
the
D●…wsell
Fidelia
had
tolde
the
king
Sacridoro
of
whence
she
was
,
hee
straight
waies
vnderstoode
the
occasion
from
whence
did
proceede
all
this
alteration
&
euill
of
Rosicleer
,
&
straight
waies
requested
all
the
Knights
that
were
ther
to
depart
,
&
let
him
alone
,
&
being
all
departed
the
king
requested
the
damsell
to
tell
him
if
she
brought
any
message
vnto
his
friend
Rosicleer
,
for
that
of
long
time
trauailing
in
his
compante
,
hee
knew
of
his
loue
,
so
well
as
himselfe
.
And
when
Fidelia
vnderstood
that
that
was
the
king
Sacridoro
of
whom
she
had
heard
so
much
of
his
dooings
with
out
any
suspition
shée
tolde
him
how
that
she
was
damsell
vnto
the
faire
Princesse
Oliuia
,
&
how
that
she
brought
him
a
letter
from
hir
.
How
is
this
said
the
king
,
is
not
the
princesse
Oliuia
as
yet
married
?
No
surely
,
said
Fidelia
,
for
first
she
will
consent
to
die
a
thousand
deaths
,
then
to
forget
the
great
loue
which
shee
doth
beare
vnto
Rosicleer
.
Oh
lord
haue
mercy
vpon
me
,
said
the
king
,
how
hath
Rosicleer
ben
deceiued
,
for
that
it
was
told
him
that
Oliuia
was
maried
,
which
was
the
occasion
,
that
a
thousand
times
he
hath
ben
at
the
point
of
death
.
And
in
saying
these
words
with
the
great
ioy
hée
receiued
,
he
went
vnto
Rosicleer
,
wheras
he
lay
,
&
toke
him
by
the
arme
,
&
did
shake
him
in
such
sort
,
that
he
made
him
somwhat
to
come
to
his
remembrance
.
Then
the
damsell
Fidelia
,
went
vnto
him
and
said
:
My
lord
wherfore
will
you
not
speake
vnto
me
,
who
with
so
great
trauaile
&
griefe
,
hath
wandred
through
all
the
world
,
this
two
yeares
in
strange
countries
in
seeking
of
you
.
And
being
at
this
time
wholly
in
his
remembrance
,
&
vnderstood
what
the
damsell
had
said
,
with
great
anguish
of
mind
and
pale
couler
,
hee
said
.
Ah
Fidelia
,
how
wouldest
thou
that
I
should
liue
before
hir
,
who
brought
me
the
sentence
of
my
death
.
How
can
I
liue
one
moment
,
calling
to
remembrance
the
●…ast
houre
that
thou
didst
see
me
,
when
thou
didst
leaue
me
,
more
dead
then
aliue
,
from
that
time
hetherto
,
ther
hath
not
entred
one
●…ot
of
ioy
or
mirth
in
my
hart
.
And
if
it
had
not
ben
for
the
great
regard
which
▪
I
haue
(
as
a
christian
)
vnto
my
soule
,
I
could
not
hetherto
haue
sustained
my selfe
,
but
a
thousand
times
,
I
had
slaine
my self
,
for
that
I
would
not
liue
without
the
loue
of
the
princesse
Oliuia
.
What
hart
is
that
so
diamant
hard
&
strong
,
that
séeing
and
knowing
my
fortune
,
&
the
pernersenes
thereof
,
that
would
not
be
moued
vnto
compassion
.
For
that
in
all
the
world
,
the
sight
of
the
princes
Oliuia
,
was
demed
,
neither
vnto
the
vnreasonable
beasts
of
the
fieldes
,
nor
vnto
foules
of
the
ayer
that
flyeth
,
neyther
vnto
the
stars
and
plannets
of
the
heauens
,
vnto
all
these
were
nothing
hidden
,
but
vnto
all
thing
permitted
the
sight
and
presence
of
Oliuia
,
but
all
onely
that
vnfortunate
Rosicleer
whose
life
was
sust●…ined
onely
with
the
sight
of
hir
,
was
prohibited
a
forbidden
hir
presence
.
Ah
my
good
Fidelia
what
aduensure
hath
brought
thée
into
this
country
,
tell
mee
I
pray
thee
,
&
giue
me
to
vnderstand
something
of
the
princesse
Oliuia
,
my
Lady
&
mistresse
,
to
whom
my
name
is
so
greatly
abhorred
.
Yet
for
all
that
it
shall
be
to
me
great
quietnesse
,
to
here
tell
somthing
of
hir
.
And
in
saying
these
words
,
he
went
vnto
the
damsell
&
did
imbrace
hir
,
with
some
contentment
,
more
then
he
ha●…
before
,
for
that
he
saw
before
him
,
the
faithfullest
&
trustiest
secretary
of
the
princes
Oliuia
,
his
mistresse
,
of
whom
he
might
very
perfectly
informe
himselfe
of
that
which
his
hart
did
desire
.
Then
Fidelia
,
who
could
not
refraine
hir selfe
from
wéeping
,
when
she
remembred
the
cruell
letter
,
which
she
deliuered
vnto
him
in
england
:
&
the
great
sorrow
&
griefe
,
which
he
receiued
by
occasion
of
the
same
:
she
tooke
foorth
a
letter
out
of
hir
bosom
,
the
which
she
brought
with
hir
,
&
deliuered
it
vnto
Rosicleer
,
saying
:
My
goodlord
,
take
bee●…e
this
letter
which
is
sent
you
from
the
princesse
Oliuia
,
my
mistresse
,
and
by
it
you
shall
vnderstand
,
what
part
she
hath
sustained
&
had
of
your
griefe
&
sorrow
,
and
what
griefe
it
hath
ben
vnto
hir
,
your
absence
:
&
as
a
witnesse
of
the
same
,
I
can
giue
you
to
vnderstand
,
&
doo
verely
beleeue
,
that
ther
is
not
a
damsell
in
all
the
world
,
at
this
present
borne
,
that
hath
sustayned
so
heauy
&
sorrowfull
a
life
,
as
she
hath
done
since
that
you
departed
out
of
england
.
My
lord
what
shall
I
say
vnto
you
,
I
haue
had
hir
in
my
armes
more
then
a
thousand
times
for
dead
,
without
any
hope
of
life
.
And
hir
sorrow
&
griefe
is
so
much
,
for
that
she
hath
done
against
you
,
that
ther
is
nothing
that
she
hath
desired
so
much
as
for
the
death
.
Thrée
times
haue
I
gone
foorth
into
the
world
,
trauailing
all
about
to
séeke
you
,
and
euery
time
I
haue
béene
foorth
hal●…e
a
yéere
.
But
when
I
returned
vnto
the
princesse
Oliuia
,
without
giuing
hir
any
word
of
you
,
hir
sorow
,
griefe
&
care
was
such
,
that
I
being
moued
with
great
compassion
,
came
foorth
agayne
in
your
demaund
.
And
that
with
the
great
perill
of
my
own
person
,
and
the
newes
which
I
heard
of
your
death
,
did
giue
me
occasion
for
to
returne
backe
againe
.
And
vnto
the
contrary
,
vnderstanding
the
great
sorrow
which
my
La●…ye
wold
vse
with
me
,
I
was
determined
rather
to
die
,
trauayling
from
one
country
to
another
,
then
to
return
into
England
:
but
God
who
knoweth
the
harts
of
all
creatures
hath
permitted
that
this
should
proceede
no
farther
,
but
hath
giueu
me
so
good
fortune
as
to
finde
you
.
When
Fidelia
had
ended
these
words
,
the
ioy
which
Rosicleer
receiued
was
such
when
he
heard
that
swéet
newes
from
his
mistres
,
not
beléeuing
that
that
which
he
heard
should
be
true
,
but
rather
a
dreme
,
&
comming
againe
vnto
himself
,
he
went
vnto
Fidelia
&
said
:
My
good
friend
and
welbeloued
Fidelia
,
I
desire
you
by
him
which
created
all
things
,
&
by
the
dutie
which
you
owe
vnto
my
lady
the
princes
Oliuia
,
that
you
doo
tell
me
if
this
which
I
haue
heard
,
hath
ben
the
principall
,
occasion
of
your
comming
,
or
whether
you
haue
spoken
it
to
comfort
me
in
this
sorrowfull
life
which
I
haue
had
continually
,
for
I
cannot
beléeue
that
the
princes
Oliuia
hath
receiued
any
griefe
for
me
,
hauing
bannished
me
out
of
the
kingdome
of
England
,
as
〈◊〉
by
the
cruell
words
of
the
letter
which
she
sent
me
by
my
faithfull
friend
,
&
if
it
be
now
true
which
you
haue
told
me
,
happy
am
I
,
&
more
happy
is
the
life
in
which
I
haue
liued
so
long
in
sorow
,
for
that
I
am
now
recompenced
with
so
so●…er
agine
a
reward
:
it
hath
ben
told
me
that
my
mistres
the
prin●…es
Oliuia
was
maried
,
which
was
the
occasion
of
my
,
greater
sorow
.
And
how
is
it
possible
that
all
this
should
be
true
which
you
haue
told
me
?
Then
Fidelia
answered
,
I
haue
told
you
the
truth
of
all
my
lord
,
&
in
that
you
say
that
she
is
maried
it
is
the
thing
that
is
〈◊〉
off
from
hir
hart
,
fo●…
although
the
king
hir
father
would
haue
married
hir
vnto
the
prince
of
Lusitania
,
&
did
importune
hir
very
much
to
accept
the
same
,
yet
could
he
neuer
conclude
with
hir
to
accept
the
mariage
,
but
first
she
would
rather
consent
to
receiue
a
thousand
deaths
,
them
to
doo
it
,
so
that
to
performe
all
that
which
doth
owe
vnto
your
loue
,
she
hath
●…en
brought
into
great
extremitie
and
daunger
with
hir
father
.
The
great
ioye
which
Rosicleer
receiued
h●…reat
,
was
such
,
that
he
thought
himself
to
be
transported
into
another
world
.
So
taking
the
letter
of
his
lady
&
mistres
,
he
did
kisse
it
many
times
,
for
that
it
had
ben
many
times
in
hir
hands
,
&
did
open
it
,
w●…eras
was
written
as
followeth
.
The
Letter
of
the
Princesse
Oliuia
to
Rosieleer
.
IF
the
paine
which
I
receiue
in
writing
,
were
not
confirmable
to
that
which
thy
desert
doth
deserue
,
then
should
not
I
haue
any
〈◊〉
to
write
,
neither
reso●…
to
aske
pardon
for
that
which
is
past
,
but
yet
ob
Rosicleer
,
the
great
force
&
strength
which
caused
your
highnes
to
make
defence
,
was
the
occasion
to
make
the
wound
more
greater
in
my
hart
.
I
did
send
to
bannish
thée
out
of
my
presence
,
for
that
I
might
not
perill
my selfe
with
thy
continuall
presence
,
but
in
dooing
that
,
I
did
bannish
my
owne
soule
from
my
body
,
whose
absence
shall
continue
&
endure
so
long
,
as
thou
art
absent
from
me
,
&
am
so
far
from
reason
,
&
so
void
of
memory
,
since
the
time
that
thou
departedst
from
this
court
,
that
when
I
doo
consider
of
my
owne
life
,
I
know
not
whether
I
liue
or
dreme
,
or
whether
I
am
a
woman
or
monster
,
for
that
life
is
odious
vnto
me
,
and
I
doo
abhorre
all
pleasure
,
&
the
company
of
my
damsels
is
great
griefe
vnto
me
,
&
when
I
am
alone
I
am
tormented
,
my
eares
are
deafe
&
doo
not
heare
,
my
eies
blind
&
cannot
see
,
&
my
tongue
dumbe
and
cannot
speake
,
except
it
be
to
name
Rosicleer
,
in
such
sort
are
all
my
sences
prisoners
vnto
thee
,
that
in
no
other
thing
they
doo
occupy
themselues
in
,
but
onely
in
accusing
me
for
the
error
the
which
I
haue
committed
against
thee
:
my
eies
say
that
they
are
blinde
,
for
that
they
cannot
see
the
goodnesse
that
they
were
wont
to
see
,
my
eares
deafe
,
for
that
they
cannot
heare
that
continuall
praise
which
they
were
wont
,
of
thy
person
,
the
telling
of
thy
mighty
deeds
,
the
victorye
of
thy
perillous
battailes
,
the
great
fame
of
thy
high
knighthood
,
and
the
continuall
prayse
of
thy
high
and
wonderfull
attempts
.
My
memorie
saith
that
it
doth
remember
,
that
onelie
with
thy
presence
all
the
whole
Kingdome
of
England
was
glad
and
ioyfull
.
In
the
Court
of
the
King
my
father
,
thou
didst
exalt
such
as
were
good
Knights
,
and
didst
●…onour
them
,
and
didst
chastice
and
〈◊〉
such
as
were
euill
,
and
proud
Gyants
didst
thou
make
humble
&
●…eeke
.
Likewise
Damsels
dyd
trauayle
all
alone
,
for
that
onely
in
thy
name
they
went
in
great
securitie
.
And
the
Princesse
Oliuia
in
onely
seeing
thee
was
alwaies
ioyfull
and
gallant
aboue
all
the
rest
.
And
now
my
vnderstanding
dooth
tell
mee
that
all
is
changed
topsey turuie
,
and
cleane
contrarie
vnto
that
it
was
wont
to
be
,
all
the
whole
kingdome
of
England
very
sad
&
sorrowful
,
the
court
of
the
king
Oliuerio
ouerthrowen
,
for
that
good
knights
lacke
therin
,
&
the
euill
doth
increase
,
and
such
as
are
proude
doth
augment
,
and
damsels
as
Orphants
doo
tru●…ile
with
no
securitie
,
but
dooth
m●…strust
all
knights
:
all
doth
finde
lack
of
they
presence
,
all
doth
weepe
and
bee
w●…ste
thy
departure
,
all
dooth
curse
the
houre
of
thy
departure
,
&
the
occasion
that
mooued
therevnto
.
But
what
shall
Oliuia
now
doo
,
who
hath
beene
the
occasion
of
all
this
,
and
yet
vnto
hir
hath
thy
departure
béene
more
greeuous
?
O●…
a
truth
,
if
that
with
my
death
I
could
haue
made
a
meanes
for
all
this
,
with
a
very
good
will
a
thousand
times
I
would
haue
béen
glad
to
haue
receiued
it
,
and
should
haue
thought
i●…
the
least
of
all
my
deadly
sorrows
.
But
alas
what
shall
I
doo
,
if
I
doo
lack
death
for
my
remedy
,
th●…
shal
I
loose
all
the
hope
I
haue
to
sée
thee
,
the
which
if
I
doo
loose
,
I
shall
thinke
my
soule
far
more
then
lost
,
&
in
this
sort
I
shall
not
make
any
recompence
for
this
great
errour
,
neither
you
satisfied
for
the
great
hurt
and
harme
receiued
,
so
that
I
take
●…t
for
the
better
choyce
to
liue
,
sustayning
my
life
with
this
●…ope
,
&
for
that
I
doo
greatly
feare
that
my
life
cannot
long
endure
,
if
thy
comming
bee
not
with
breuity
,
therefore
I
doo
●…end
this
Damsell
to
seeke
thee
,
for
to
desire
thee
(
in
first
par●…oning
of
that
which
is
past
)
that
thou
wouldest
not
permit
that
my
soule
depart
out
of
this
world
,
till
such
time
as
my
eyes
may
reioyce
themselues
with
the
sight
of
thée
,
for
that
onely
therewith
I
shall
thinke
my selfe
happie
,
and
for
that
in
all
other
matters
thou
mayst
giue
perfect
credit
to
this
my
faythfull
secretarie
,
and
vnderstand
all
my
sorrowfull
passions
,
I
doo
inlarge
no
farther
,
but
remaine
prayeng
vnto
God
to
keepe
&
defend
thy
person
,
and
to
direct
thy
paths

When
Rosicleer
had
read
this
Letter
,
and
knew
it
to
〈◊〉
hirs
,
what
shall
I
say
vnto
the
great
ioy
&
pleasure
which
hée
receiued
,
but
that
it
was
equall
vnto
the
great
sorrow
and
griefe
which
hée
suffered
,
for
that
as
one
from
him selfe
hée
was
reading
,
〈◊〉
did
not
contemplate
himselfe
with
those
swéet
and
amorous
words
of
his
Lady
and
mistres
,
and
the
great
loue
which
shée
dyd
professe
in
hir
letter
,
and
how
〈◊〉
did
repent
hir selfe
of
all
that
was
past
,
of
all
the
which
hée
receiued
so
great
ioy
and
contentment
,
that
all
his
sences
were
occupyed
therewith
,
in
such
sort
that
hée
〈◊〉
him selfe
transported
into
the
celestiall
glorie
,
so
that
hée
had
no
tongue
for
to
speake
vnto
the
King
Sacridoro
,
neyther
féete
for
to
remoue
himself
out
of
that
place
,
nor
eies
for
to
looke
vpon
Fidelia
,
but
onely
occupied
in
recreating
himself
in
that
contemplation
,
reading
and
béeholding
that
Letter
many
times
.
In
the
ende
hée
remembred
himselfe
as
one
that
dyd
awake
out
of
a
dreame
,
and
went
vnto
the
King
Sacridoro
,
and
embraced
him
&
sayd
:
Oh
my
Lord
&
perfect
friend
,
I
desire
you
to
put
me
out
of
all
doubt
of
this
doubtfull
thing
which
I
haue
beefore
mée
,
for
that
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
looke
how
much
the
glorie
is
which
at
this
present
I
receiue
,
so
much
more
will
the
paine
and
griefe
bée
vnto
mée
if
it
fall
out
otherwise
.
Therefore
tell
mée
(
I
pray
you
,
)
whether
I
doo
sléepe
or
am
awake
,
or
whether
it
bée
true
that
I
doo
now
sée
,
or
whether
it
bée
one
of
those
dreames
which
I
was
wont
to
haue
,
doo
not
let
mée
I
pray
you
to
liue
deceiued
,
for
that
is
●…ot
reason
,
one
so
vnhappie
and
voyde
of
good
fortune
as
I
am
,
should
recreate
and
content
himselfe
with
so
high
a
benefit
as
this
is
.
Béehould
how
I
doo
dreame
that
the
Princesse
Oliuia
hath
sent
mee
a
Letter
by
hir
secretarie
Fidelia
,
and
hauing
compassion
on
mee
,
shée
would
that
I
should
bée
hirs
,
and
to
goe
into
England
for
to
serue
hir
,
and
bée
at
hir
commandement
,
and
doth
write
to
me
such
amorous
words
,
that
there
is
no
humane
creature
that
dooth
deserue
the

,
much
lesse
a

that
is
so

Béehould

heere
is
the
Letter
,
the
hand
and
seale
of
my
Lady
and
mistres
,
the
Princesse
Oliuia
:
Tell
mée
I
pray
you
,
whether
I
doo
sléepe
or
dreame
,
and
whether
it
bee
true
this
which
I
doo
sée
.
The
King
did
not
meruayle
much
at
all
this
which
passed
béecause
hée
dyd
very
well
vnderstand
the
operation
of
loue
,
but
embracing
him
,
he
tooke
him
by
the
hand
and
sayde
:
Oh
my
Lord
Rosicleer
and
perfect
friend
,
now
I
doo
sée
the
great
wonders
of
God
,
and
how
great
his
mercie
is
,
for
that
hée
dooth
forget
none
that
doth
put
their
trust
in
him
,
for
when
I
was
very
prosperous
in
riches
,
high
〈◊〉
estate
,
and
accompanied
with
all
my
vassalls
and
subiects
,
and
in
soueraigne
hope
for
to
ouercome
,
and
haue
that
which
I
most
desired
,
straight
waies
I
found
my selfe
very
far
from
the
easement
of
my
griefe
,
and
the
ende
of
al
my
desire
separated
,
for
that
I
was
ouerthrowen
from
my
estate
,
and
all
my
kingdome
destroyed
,
my
people
ouercome
and
left
desolate
without
my
vassalls
,
and
bannished
,
out
of
mine
owne
Countrie
,
and
throwen
out
into
the
world
,
&
sunke
into
a
lake
whereas
I
found
all
that
which
I
desire
,
remedie
for
my
sorrow
,
and
recouered
againe
my
Kingdome
,
and
restored
vnto
mine
owne
estate
,
and
aboue
all
things
,
I
recouered
a
good
&
perfect
friend
of
you
,
therefore
all
aff●…iction
and
tribulation
in
the
world
,
God
dooth
permit
it
vnto
them
that
hée
doth
not
forget
,
and
when
they
dooe
thincke
themselues
most
afflicted
and
troubled
,
ouerthrowen
and
brought
most
low
,
and
most
without
all
hope
,
and
voyde
of
all
goodnesse
,
at
such
time
with
a
trise
and
in
a
moment
they
are
brought
into
more
higher
estate
then
they
were
beefore
,
with
ioy
and
prosperitie
,
giuing
them
occasion
for
to
estéeme
and
haue
in
more
honour
the
thing
that
they
most
desire
,
and
so
hath
it
happened
vnto
you
my
good
friend
Rosicleer
,
for
that
at
such
time
as
thou
didst
abhorre
thy
owne
lyfe
,
and
when
thy
sorrow
and
griefe
had
most
gouernement
ouer
thée
,
and
when
that
all
hope
of
remedie
was
past
and
farthest
off
from
thee
,
vppon
a
sodaine
hath
come
vnto
you
remedie
for
all
things
,
and
in
so
high
order
,
that
you
your selfe
cannot
béeleeue
it
,
and
you
doo
thinke
your selfe
vnworthie
of
that
which
God
hath
ordained
for
you
,
therefore
surrender
vnto
god
thanks
for
the
same
,
and
gratifie
this
Damsell
for
hir
great
trauaile
which
shee
hath
taken
for
you
,
and
doo
not
●…ay
that
it
is
a
dreame
or
mockage
,
that
which
wée
doo
all
sée
with
our
eyes
.
At
which
words
of
the
King
,
Rosicleer
came
wholie
to
himselfe
,
and
hauing
no
hart
to
speake
,
with
the
great
ioy
hée
receiued
,
hée
embraced
the
King
and
Fidilia
many
times
,
and
by
exteriour
tokens
and
signes
,
hée
dyd
communicate
his
pleasure
and
ioye
vnto
them
.
Then
afterwards
Rosicleer
demaunded
of
Fidelia
all
what
had
〈◊〉
by
whome
hée
vnderstoode
all
that
euer
shee
dyd
know
of
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
for
there
shee
made
manifest
vnto
him
hir
lyfe
,
hir
passions
,
and
hir
cares
,
and
all
that
euer
had
passed
in
the
Letters
,
and
how
by
them
shee
vnderstood
him
to
bée
Sonne
vnto
the
Princesse
Briana
,
and
afterward
it
was
published
that
hée
was
sonne
vnto
the
Emperour
Trebatio
.
Likewise
shee
toulde
him
the
occasion
of
the
writing
of
the
first
Letter
,
and
the
great
repentance
which
she
had
for
the
same
,
the
great
anguish
and
griefe
shee
had
for
Don
Siluerio
,
the
great
good
will
of
the
king
hir
father
,
and
the
great
importance
hee
vsed
,
also
the
great
〈◊〉
of
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
all
which
when
Rosicleer
heard
,
hee
was
as
you
may
iudge
of
all
them
that
faitfully
and
truely
dooe
loue
,
at
such
time
as
they
are
giuen
to
vnderstand
any
thing
of
their
best
beeloued
:
the
which
things
vnto
such
as
are
free
from
all
loue
are
counted
but
tr●…fles
,
and
childrens
toyes
,
whereas
to
the
contrarie
vnto
them
they
are
pearles
and
precious
stones
.
Then
the
King
séeing
them
in
this
profound
and
déepe
rehearsall
,
tooke
him
by
the
hands
and
sayd
:
My
good
Lord
let
all
these
matters
passe
for
this
time
,
and
let
vs
vnderstand
that
which
dooth
most
accomplish
you
,
which
is
to
goe
into
England
,
whereas
you
shall
vnderstand
and
know
all
these
matters
of
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
for
that
I
doo
perceiue
by
the
long
trauayle
,
in
the
which
Fidelia
hath
gone
,
in
seeking
of
you
,
that
you
delay
the
time
very
long
.
Then
Rosicleer
,
as
thou●…h
hée
did
awake
out
of
a
sound
sléepe
came
vnto
himselfe
,
and
savd
.
O●…
high
and
soueraine
Lord
and
God
,
héere
I
doo
giue
infinite
thanckes
vnto
thy
holy
name
,
for
that
it
hath
pleased
you
to
put
remedy
in
the
life
of
this
your
Knight
,
with
this
vnlooked
for
remedie
.
And
vnto
you
my
very
good
friend
Fidelia
I
doo
giue
great
thanks
for
the
great
trauaile
the
which
you
haue
passed
and
taken
,
in
seeking
of
mée
,
that
I
may
goe
comfort
and
recreate
my selfe
,
in
the
sight
and
countenance
of
my
Lady
and
Mistresse
.
And
I
doo
desire
of
God
,
to
graunt
mée
lyfe
,
that
I
may
gratifie
your
large
pilgrimage
,
which
you
haue
passed
,
●…n
seeking
mee
.
And
tourning
himselfe
vnto
the
King
,
hee
sayde
:
Pardon
mee
,
I
pray
you
my
good
Lord
,
these
my
amorous
passions
,
and
let
vs
goe
whether
your
pleasure
is
to
command
vs
,
without
tarrying
any
longer
.
So
straight
wayes
they
commaunded
the
kn●…ghts
of
Fulmineo
,
to
bring
before
them
all
the
Ladies
and
damsels
,
that
were
in
all
the
Castels
.
And
béeing
brought
beefore
them
,
they
were
more
then
thirtie
,
all
very
faire
and
full
of
sorrow
.
All
the
which
Rosicleer
,
dyd
commaund
,
that
they
should
goe
and
present
●…hemselues
beefore
the
Emperour
of
Russia
in
saying
,
that
●…wo
〈◊〉
Knights
,
hath
slaine
Fulmineo
,
and
that
they
doo
●…urrender
and
yee●…d
vnto
him
all
his
Countrie
and
lands
,
●…or
that
Fulmineo
,
hath
left
no
heire
.
And
vnto
the
Damsels
●…ée
did
giue
all
such
riches
as
hee
found
within
the
Castells
.
●…nd
for
to
set
order
in
this
and
in
all
〈◊〉
things
,
they
tar●…ed
there
that
day
and
that
night
:
and
for
that
his
desire
●…as
so
great
for
to
goe
into
England
,
the
night
séemed
so
〈◊〉
,
that
hee
thought
the
day
would
neuer
haue
apeared
.
So
the
next
day
,
at
such
time
as
the
Sunne
did
scarce
appeare
,
when
they
were
armed
with
their
rich
&
bright
armour
,
and
mounted
vpon
their
good
horses
,
these
two
valyant
knights
and
perfect
friends
went
forth
of
the
castle
,
and
in
their
company
the
damsell
Fidelia
,
leauing
a
good
Knight
which
was
Fulmineos
in
the
gard
and
kéeping
of
the
Castle
and
all
the
rest
,
till
such
time
as
the
Emperour
of
Russia
dyd
commaund
his
pleasure
to
bée
done
with
them
.
So
all
they
together
tooke
their
right
way
towards
the
sea
,
whereas
they
might
embarke
themselues
for
England
,
where
the
historie
dooth
leaue
them
til
time
dooth
serue
.
So
the
Ladies
and
damsels
of
Fulmineo
went
beefore
the
Emperour
,
&
declared
vnto
him
the
embassage
of
the
knights
,
&
of
all
that
euer
had
passed
,
for
the
which
hée
receiued
great
ioy
&
pleasure
,
&
meruailed
greatly
that
one
alone
knight
had
slayne
Fulmineo
,
&
was
very
sorrowfull
for
the
departure
of
those
two
knights
,
&
would
haue
giuen
a
good
part
of
his
countrie
for
to
haue
had
them
remained
in
his
court
,
&
presently
gaue
vnto
those
ladies
and
Damsels
all
the
castles
and
lands
of
Fulmineo
,
in
recompence
of
the
great
harme
and
damage
which
they
receiued
of
him
.
The
Emperour
as
well
as
all
the
rest
that
did
border
vpon
the
countrie
of
Fulmineo
,
gaue
great
laude
and
praise
vnto
god
,
béecause
he
was
out
of
the
world
,
and
would
very
faine
haue
séene
and
knowen
that
knight
that
had
so
much
force
and
strength
for
to
kill
him
.
How
the
knight
of
the
Sunnne
and
the
faire
Princesse
Lindabrides
went
forwards
on
their
iourney
towards
the
great
Tartaria
,
and
of
the
stout
battayle
that
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
had
with
the
Troian
Oristides
.
Chapter
55.
LOng
tyme
dyd
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
and
the
fayr●…
Princesse
Lindabrides
trauayled
together
towards
th●…
gran
Tartaria
,
with
great
maiestie
in
hir
triumphant
Chariot
,
which
did
manifest
their
high
estate
vnto
all
that
sa●…
them
.
In
this
sort
they
trauayled
without
happening
vnto
them
any
thing
worth
the
telling
,
till
they
came
vnto
a
conuenient
port
,
whereas
they
might
embarke
themselues
towards
the
gran
Tartaria
,
and
by
reason
of
the
continuall
conuersation
of
the
Princesse
,
and
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
the
great
beautie
and
soueraigne
grace
of
the
Princes
Lindabrides
,
which
continually
in
the
eyes
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
dyd
worke
effect
,
in
such
sort
,
that
what
so
euer
contrary
might
bee
presented
before
him
,
was
not
sufficient
,
but
that
his
hard
and
stonie
hart
must
of
force
be
molified
,
and
cloue
it
a
sunder
in
the
middest
in
such
sort
,
that
the
old
wound
did
rankle
a
new
,
and
hée
put
in
far
greater
extremities
then
at
the
first
béeginning
,
for
that
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
depriued
him
of
all
his
sences
,
and
as
the
Diamond
stone
dooth
draw
yron
vnto
him
,
so
dooth
shée
bring
vnto
hir
all
his
thoughts
,
so
that
the
Princesse
Claridiana
by
reson
of
hir
absence
,
the
remembrance
of
hir
great
beautie
is
forgotten
,
and
the
wound
which
hee
receiued
at
his
heart
by
hi●…
singular
beautie
,
is
not
now
felt
,
by
reason
of
the
great
griefe
of
the
Princesse
béeing
present
,
so
that
his
eyes
could
béehould
no
other
comfort
nor
pleasure
,
neither
dooth
his
thoughts
desire
any
other
glorie
,
so
that
hée
dooth
not
occupie
himselfe
in
any
other
thing
,
but
to
serue
hir
,
and
to
gieue
hir
all
the
contentment
possible
,
hir
presence
●…s
vnto
him
great
ioy
,
comfort
,
and
pleasure
,
and
hir
ab●…ence
great
sorrow
,
paine
,
and
griefe
.
When
the
Sun
should
●…rise
hée
sayth
,
that
it
is
slouthfull
,
and
when
that
it
goeth
●…owne
,
hee
sayth
that
it
flyeth
,
for
that
all
the
day
time
hée
●…oth
reioyce
himselfe
with
the
sight
and
conuersation
of
the
●…rincesse
,
and
the
night
dooth
separate
them
a
sunder
the
●…ne
from
the
other
.
At
this
time
you
may
béeléeue
that
the
●…rincesse
Lindabrides
was
more
gladder
and
ioyefull
then
●…hen
she
was
in
the
citie
of
Constantinople
,
in
the
presence
●…f
the
Princesse
Claridiana
,
for
now
séeing
hir
Knight
by
〈◊〉
,
and
considering
the
great
loue
which
shée
bare
vnto
hir
〈◊〉
in
the
wa●…
trauayling
towards
the
Court
of
the
Em●…
Alycandro
,
hir
father
,
hir
contented
pleasure
was
so
great
,
that
shée
neuer
thought
to
bée
so
merrie
,
neyther
to
inioy
so
great
glory
.
So
when
they
came
vnto
the
sea
●…ide
,
they
imbarked
themselues
in
a
very
fayre
and
great
ship
,
wherein
they
put
themselues
into
the
power
of
the
waues
.
And
vpon
a
day
when
the
knight
of
the
Sun
found
himselfe
alone
with
the
princesse
Lindabrides
,
amongst
other
matters
which
passed
béetwéene
them
,
hee
sayde
.
Lady
and
Princesse
of
the
gran
Tartaria
,
if
I
dyd
thincke
that
my
ouer
much
paine
and
inward
griefe
were
perfectly
knowen
vnto
you
,
then
would
not
I
at
this
present
declare
it
,
neyther
the
remedie
for
the
same
would
I
craue
at
your
hands
,
for
if
you
my
Lady
and
Mistres
,
did
vnderstand
and
know
how
grieuously
I
doo
féele
it
,
and
in
you
to
raigne
any
good
will
to
doo
mee
good
,
then
would
you
of
your
proper
good
will
procure
to
put
remedy
to
the
same
without
my
asking
,
for
that
I
cannot
beeléeue
nor
thinke
that
it
is
possible
,
that
Nature
hath
formed
a
Damsell
endued
with
so
great
beauty
&
soueraigne
grace
,
that
it
doth
surmount
all
which
at
this
present
are
borne
,
and
should
lacke
in
you
pittie
,
the
which
is
an
extremitie
amongst
Damsels
,
for
whereas
any
pittie
doth
dwell
,
they
cannot
bee
without
compassion
,
and
hauing
comassion
to
procure
to
put
remedie
in
so
sorrowfull
a
hart
as
mine
is
,
which
in
euery
houre
and
moment
is
in
liuely
flames
burning
and
languishing
in
burning
coales
.
The
shining
beames
of
your
sight
hath
so
kindled
my
thoughts
,
that
they
be
all
occupied
in
your
seruice
,
and
hath
likewise
scorched
all
my
inward
parts
,
and
all
my
sences
are
blinde
,
my
body
all
to
peeces
,
and
my
soule
as
immortal
alwaies
.
Therefore
Lady
I
doo
desire
you
,
that
although
my
paine
is
equall
vnto
that
which
they
haue
that
are
condemned
to
the
pro●ound
lake
,
yet
that
in
our
remedies
wée
〈◊〉
bee
different
that
the
mercy
which
doth
lack
for
them
,
let
it
be
in
you
for
to
help
mee
,
that
I
may
bée
cleere
from
so
terrible
a
fire
.
And
doo
not
delay
any
longer
my
remedy
,
for
my
griefe
is
so
great
,
that
it
cannot
suffer
any
delay
because
that
therby
I
may
bée
brought
vnto
such
extremitie
,
that
then
you
would
shew
me
this
pleasure
of
remedy
,
then
shall
not
I
be
able
to
receiue
it
at
your
hands
.
And
in
concluding
these
words
,
the
knight
of
the
Sun
with
as
great
courage
as
euer
he
had
,
went
vnto
hir
&
kissed
hir
on
one
of
hir
faire
cheekes
.
Then
the
princesse
,
who
very
wel
vnderstood
the
woords
of
the
knght
of
the
Sun
,
&
his
desire
,
although
she
was
very
glad
&
ioyfull
to
see
the
great
loue
that
he
did
beare
hir
,
which
was
the
thing
that
she
did
most
desire
,
yet
for
all
that
she
was
so
full
of
honesty
,
&
adorned
with
so
great
maiestie
&
highnesse
,
that
she
was
cleane
contrary
vnto
the
purpose
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
would
rather
consent
to
die
,
then
to
yeeld
vnto
any
such
thing
,
and
so
making
some
semblaunce
as
though
she
were
angry
,
accompanied
with
great
grauitie
,
she
answered
him
and
said
.
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
my
very
good
&
perfect
friend
,
I
would
neuer
haue
beléeued
that
the
true
&
perfect
loue
which
I
haue
borne
vnto
you
,
should
haue
ben
recompe●…ced
with
the
like
singlene●…
&
puritie
of
loue
,
&
to
haue
proceeded
from
a
pure
&
perfect
thought
,
for
that
of
mine
owne
part
I
haue
alwaies
thought
to
be
sure
,
&
in
the
great
force
&
strength
of
your
person
I
had
alwaies
hope
of
defence
against
such
like
reproch
,
at
such
time
as
I
was
most
captiue
and
ouercome
by
loue
,
&
most
kindled
in
the
burning
flames
therof
.
I
hoped
in
your
soueraigne
vertue
to
haue
found
defence
for
my
imbe●…
:
but
now
alasse
,
I
find
all
to
be
contrary
and
cleane
changed
from
my
expectation
.
What
,
will
you
giue
remedy
vnto
your
sorrow
and
griefe
,
with
that
which
will
redound
much
to
my
barme
?
Will
you
first
serue
your
owne
turne
&
accomplish
your
owne
desire
,
without
any
consideration
of
my
highnesse
&
honestie
,
the
which
if
you
did
beare
good
wil
&
loue
,
as
you
doo
publish
,
you
would
neuer
procure
so
great
harme
vnto
me
,
for
it
should
be
more
griefe
vnto
thée
the
sorrow
that
I
shuld
receiue
,
then
thy
own
griefe
:
neither
shuld
you
receiue
any
ioy
in
that
,
which
shuld
cause
in
me
griefe
.
〈◊〉
and
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
that
I
hau●…
not
my selfe
in
so
little
estimation
,
that
you
should
thinke
that
my
loue
were
so
base
to
cause
such
desires
,
nor
the
desires
so
mortall
that
should
cause
vnto
you
paine
,
but
rather
I
doo
think
that
things
aboue
nature
doo
cause
ne
paine
vnto
men
,
hauing
want
therof
:
So
likewise
my
high
&
royall
estate
accompanied
with
soueraigne
beautie
should
bée
to
you
holden
as
a
thing
aboue
nature
,
so
by
that
meanes
you
should
not
haue
the
paine
&
griefe
which
you
publish
,
neither
for
to
séeke
&
procure
such
vnséemely
remedy
,
I
will
not
inlarge
any
farther
héerein
,
for
that
I
am
angry
,
&
with
anger
ought
little
to
be
spoken
,
&
especially
with
friendes
.
It
is
sufficient
good
knight
of
the
Sun
,
that
I
doo
loue
you
more
then
my selfe
,
and
when
time
doth
serue
I
will
dooe
that
which
loue
&
reason
doth
bind
me
,
that
shall
be
at
such
time
as
we
shall
come
vnto
the
gran
Tartaria
,
by
the
Emperour
my
father
,
&
all
those
mightie
kings
and
lords
of
his
court
,
with
great
〈◊〉
,
equall
vnto
your
highnes
,
our
marriage
shall
be
〈◊〉
,
&
in
the
meane
time
haue
patience
&
bridle
your
owne
〈◊〉
&
affections
,
&
doo
not
loose
the
glory
of
your
great
&
mightie
déeds
,
in
being
vanquished
by
your
owne
affection
,
for
as
the
victory
is
greater
that
a
man
doth
get
of
himselfe
,
so
much
greater
is
the
victory
when
he
doth
ouercome
his
own
will
,
for
to
that
which
reason
doth
deny
,
&
a
greater
shame
when
that
by
a
base
knight
he
is
ouercome
,
for
that
the
first
is
,
for
the
lack
which
is
of
vertue
and
of
the
person
,
for
so
much
as
they
did
not
lacke
force
&
strength
for
to
make
resistance
,
&
secondly
,
the
lack
was
in
nature
,
for
that
it
gaue
him
no
more
strength
for
to
defend
himselfe
.
And
héerewith
the
princes
made
an
end
of
hir
reasoning
,
being
somwhat
mo●…ed
,
hir
redicond
colour
apeered
,
signifying
that
pure
anger
was
the
occasion
therof
.
Whose
words
toke
so
great
effect
in
the
knight
of
the
Sun
that
one
way
it
dyd
grieue
him
very
much
,
for
that
hée
had
declared
vnto
hir
his
des●…re
,
&
otherwise
the
great
maiesty
&
highnesse
of
the
princesse
,
was
so
augmented
in
his
loue
,
that
he
didde
loue
,
hir
much
more
from
that
day
forwards
then
before
,
&
asking
pardon
of
hir
,
he
kissed
hir
hands
perforce
.
At
this
time
Arcadia
,
was
not
so
farre
of
,
but
that
shee
did
vnderstand
part
of
their
communication
,
for
that
at
all
times
when
she
saw
the
knight
of
the
Sun
&
the
princes
Lindabrides
all
alone
,
she
straight
waies
procured
to
put
hir selfe
in
place
wheras
she
might
heare
what
passed
betwéene
them
,
&
hauing
very
well
vnderstood
what
passed
,
it
did
grieue
bi
r
very
much
,
for
the
great
sorrow
which
the
princesse
Claridiana
would
receiue
when
she
should
vnderstand
the
truth
therof
,
especially
seeing
it
is
a
thing
that
may
be
held
,
for
that
according
as
she
did
vnderstand
,
that
they
two
had
great
good
will
to
be
married
at
such
time
as
they
came
vnto
the
gran
Tartaria
,
and
so
dissembling
hir
griefe
in
the
best
wise
she
could
,
she
tarried
and
did
abide
the
time
,
that
fortune
would
ordaine
therein
.
So
at
this
time
,
béeing
thrée
daies
after
their
departure
towards
the
port
wheras
they
did
imbarke
themselues
,
they
did
ariue
at
the
port
of
●…enedon
,
hard
by
that
place
wheras
ther
was
wont
to
be
the
great
Citie
of
Troy
,
where
they
went
a
land
,
&
by
hir
gyants
were
taken
out
of
the
ship
of
the
triumphant
chariot
,
&
placing
themselues
in
order
with
soueraigne
maiestie
as
before
,
they
began
to
take
their
iourney
by
land
,
&
they
had
not
well
●…rauailed
full
two
houres
,
when
that
they
saw
beefore
them
,
a
very
high
and
well
●…owred
Castle
,
scituated
at
the
foote
of
a
Bridge
.
So
when
they
came
nigh
vnto
it
,
they
saw
that
the
Riuer
was
so
déepe
,
that
of
force
they
must
passe
ouer
the
Bridge
with
the
Chariot
,
which
hadde
breadth
inough
for
the
same
.
And
as
yet
the
Unicornes
were
scarce
entered
vppon
the
Bridge
,
when
that
there
came
foorth
out
of
the
Castle
a
Knight
armed
with
very
rich
and
substantiall
armour
,
and
mounted
vppon
a
great
horse
,
who
was
so
great
and
so
well
made
,
that
in
all
theyr
lines
they
hadd●…
not
〈◊〉
,
so
great
&
well
proportioned
a
knight
.
Who
when
he
came
nigh
vnto
them
,
he
lifted
vp
his
beuer
&
said
.
Lords
you
shall
vnderstand
that
the
passage
ouer
the
bridge
is
defended
by
me
,
against
all
knights
,
that
presumeth
to
passe
this
way
,
except
first
they
doo
leaue
héere
their
shields
,
and
their
names
written
thervpon
,
in
confessing
themselues
to
be
ouer
come
by
the
troyan
Oristedes
.
And
seeing
the
great
maiestie
of
your
comming
,
it
doth
giue
me
occasion
to
giue
you
better
entertainment
then
I
accustome
to
doo
.
For
that
you
shall
vnderstand
the
ancient
custome
of
this
bridge
,
&
likewise
the
bondage
wherin
I
am
bound
,
for
the
defence
&
keeping
heere
of
,
is
,
that
I
must
show
no
curtesie
to
any
knight
that
héere
passeth
.
The
knight
of
the
Sun
was
very
much
troubled
,
as
well
at
the
good
disposition
of
Oristedes
,
as
at
his
gentle
speech
and
great
courtesie
:
&
being
very
desirous
to
know
more
of
him
he
said
.
Sir
knight
I
doo
giue
you
great
thanks
for
your
good
will
&
courtesie
shewed
vnto
vs
,
&
for
that
you
shall
not
break
any
custome
that
hath
ben
so
long
kept
at
this
bridge
,
I
will
doo
what
doth
lie
in
mée
,
for
to
make
the
passage
●…ree
for
vs
.
And
when
I
can
do
no
more
,
then
will
I
doe
that
the
which
I
am
constrained
vnto
by
force
.
But
yet
of
courtesie
I
require
you
sir
knight
tell
me
what
is
the
occasion
that
you
doo
call
your selfe
troyan
,
&
wherfore
doo
you
kéepe
&
defend
the
custome
at
this
bridge
.
For
that
according
vnto
the
long
time
that
is
past
since
that
this
citie
of
Troy
was
destroied
by
the
gréeks
,
I
doo
beléeue
that
ther
is
no
knight
that
doth
remaine
,
that
is
of
the
troians
blood
.
I
will
tell
you
,
said
Oristedes
,
for
that
you
haue
so
great
desire
to
know
it
.
And
I
dooe
meruayle
that
you
cannot
béeléeue
this
which
I
haue
sayde
,
for
that
all
those
that
hath
not
béene
accustomed
to
come
this
wayes
,
are
likewise
deceyued
,
for
that
the
ancient
writers
,
neuer
wrot
of
that
which
I
will
shew
you
.
You
shall
vnderstand
gentle
Knight
,
that
at
such
time
as
this
great
citie
of
Troy
,
was
bes●…eged
by
the
gréekes
,
there
came
in
the
aide
&
succour
of
the
king
Priamus
,
quéene
of
the
Amazons
,
named
Pantasilla
,
who
hauing
heard
many
times
in
hir
owne
Countrye
to
praise
&
extoll
the
great
strength
&
valiantnesse
of
Hector
,
more
for
his
loue
then
for
any
zeale
she
had
to
defend
Troy
,
she
came
together
with
very
many
people
of
hir
for
to
sée
him
&
in
the
time
of
that
siege
,
the
queene
declared
vnto
Hector
the
great
loue
shée
bare
vnto
him
,
&
he
who
was
no
lesse
affectioned
vnto
hir
granted
hir
all
that
euer
she
would
demand
,
so
that
the
quéene
was
begotten
with
child
by
Hector
,
&
was
deliuered
of
a
son
whom
they
called
Pireo
,
the
troyan
,
who
very
secretly
&
not
knowen
to
any
body
,
was
giuen
vnto
a
nurse
borne
in
that
citie
,
to
be
brought
vp
as
hir
owne
child
.
So
after
the
death
of
king
Priamus
&
all
his
sons
,
&
the
destruction
of
the
citie
,
ther
remained
certaine
citizens
of
a
base
sort
,
such
as
the
greekes
made
no
account
of
,
amongst
whom
it
chanced
the
nurse
who
brought
vp
Pireo
was
one
of
them
,
who
knowing
whose
son
he
was
,
did
bring
him
vp
with
great
care
,
till
such
time
as
he
was
a
man
,
&
by
nature
he
was
enclined
to
the
exercise
of
armes
,
so
he
gaue
himself
onely
thervnto
,
&
had
delight
in
no
other
thing
,
&
for
that
it
was
manifest
vnto
him
whose
sonne
he
was
,
for
to
sustaine
some
memory
of
the
citie
of
Troy
,
&
of
his
father
,
he
caused
this
bridge
to
be
made
,
&
this
castle
,
and
ordained
a
custome
that
no
knight
might
passe
that
way
,
but
first
to
combatte
with
him
&
to
leaue
héerein
his
shield
&
his
name
,
saying
that
he
was
ouercome
by
him
,
&
in
the
time
of
his
life
he
ouercame
so
many
knights
,
that
they
are
without
number
,
&
when
he
died
hee
left
beehinde
him
a
young
sonne
,
and
commaunded
that
all
those
that
did
discend
from
him
,
should
maintaine
that
custome
,
which
of
long
time
hath
beene
maintained
at
that
bridge
,
so
that
all
those
which
haue
succeeded
in
this
Countrye
from
him
vntill
this
time
,
hath
maintayned
&
kept
that
order
&
custome
,
and
hath
ouercome
so
great
a
number
of
knights
,
that
in
all
that
great
forrest
which
you
doo
sée
,
there
is
no
roome
almost
to
hang
their
sheel●…es
.
And
in
saying
these
words
,
he
shewed
vnto
them
the
forrest
,
whose
trées
were
all
full
of
shéelds
,
which
dyd
hang
vpon
the
boughes
&
branches
,
some
of
them
were
glistering
,
&
other
some
with
great
antiquitie
had
lost
their
colours
,
&
ther
were
so
many
of
them
,
that
without
great
difficultie
they
could
not
be
told
,
&
proceeding
forwards
,
Oristedes
said
:
This
is
the
occasion
why
&
wherefore
this
custome
is
kept
&
maintained
at
this
bridge
.
And
I
will
keepe
and
defend
the
same
so
long
as
I
doo
liue
,
for
that
my
lineall
descent
doth
come
from
that
noble
stock
of
Pireo
,
&
his
father
Hector
,
&
for
that
ther
hath
remained
no
other
remembrance
of
Troy
,
this
shal
remain
for
a
memory
of
the
noble
blood
that
was
ther
spilt
.
The
knight
of
the
Sun
reioyced
very
much
at
that
which
Oristedes
had
told
him
,
&
did
estéeme
him
little
for
that
hée
came
of
that
royall
blood
of
Troy
,
&
séemed
vnto
him
according
to
his
disposition
,
that
he
could
not
but
be
like
in
valiantnes
vnto
his
predecessours
,
&
giuing
him
great
thankes
for
that
which
he
had
told
him
of
his
life
&
custome
,
hée
sayd
vnto
him
:
Well
gentle
knight
,
séeing
it
is
so
that
you
cannot
choose
but
kéepe
&
maintaine
this
your
custome
,
neither
I
nor
all
these
that
dooe
come
with
mée
cannot
passe
this
bridge
without
making
battaile
,
or
els
to
returne
agayne
the
way
which
we
haue
come
.
Let
vs
if
you
please
,
procure
to
do
all
that
in
vs
doth
lie
,
&
vnto
him
that
doth
lack
fortune
,
let
him
doo
all
that
the
other
doth
commaund
.
And
in
saying
these
words
the
knight
of
the
Sun
descended
out
of
the
chariot
&
commaunding
his
horse
to
be
brought
foorth
,
he
mounted
vpon
him
,
&
with
his
speare
in
his
hand
he
went
&
put
himselfe
at
the
entry
of
the
bridge
,
of
the
which
Oristedes
was
very
much
amazed
,
and
séeing
him
comming
with
so
great
maiestie
,
&
in
the
company
of
so
faire
a
damsell
,
hée
did
verily
beléeue
him
to
be
some
knight
of
high
estate
,
&
of
great
bount●…e
of
armes
,
&
although
he
was
a
very
valiant
knight
his
mightie
demeanour
did
not
cause
in
him
any
faintnes
,
&
although
he
had
had
perfect
intelligence
that
he
had
ben
the
most
valiantest
knight
in
all
the
world
,
yet
he
had
no
doubt
to
combat
with
him
,
for
that
he
had
kept
&
maintained
that
bridge
more
then
eight
yéeres
,
in
which
time
he
had
ouercome
more
then
one
thousand
knights
,
yet
he
neuer
met
with
knight
that
by
very
much
might
compare
himself
with
him
.
And
then
with
as
valiant
a
courage
as
appertayned
vnto
his
progenie
,
he
went
&
put
himselfe
right
against
the
knght
of
the
Sun
,
and
both
of
them
at
one
time
did
broach
their
horses
with
their
spurs
,
and
with
so
great
fury
,
that
the
bridge
seemed
to
be
ouerthorwen
,
&
both
the
Knights
to
be
on
fire
,
with
the
great
quantitie
of
sparkes
that
came
foorth
of
that
paued
pauement
,
and
in
the
midst
of
the
bridge
they
made
their
encounter
in
such
sort
,
that
their
speares
were
shée
uered
all
to
péeces
,
&
they
passed
the
one
by
the
other
as
though
they
had
done
nothing
,
and
with
a
trise
they
turned
about
their
horses
with
their
swoords
in
their
hands
they
assalted
one
another
,
&
the
first
blowes
that
were
striken
,
it
séemed
that
all
that
valley
was
full
of
the
sound
thereof
,
béeing
st●…iken
vppon
their
inchaunted
healmes
,
whereas
all
those
were
executed
,
and
beeing
nothing
amazed
nor
astonied
therwith
,
but
with
great
furye
and
wrath●…ulnesse
they
did
assalt
each
other
with
their
sound
blowes
,
and
being
meruailous●…ie
ouercharged
with
the
great
force
of
them
,
it
made
them
to
decli●…e
their
heads
to
their
breasts
,
so
that
eyther
of
them
did
feele
the
great
force
of
his
a●…uersarye
,
and
Oristedes
said
vnto
himselfe
,
that
neuer
in
all
the
daies
of
his
life
did
hée
combat
with
a
more
valiaunter
and
worthyer
Knight
,
but
beeing
determined
to
giue
to
vnderstand
his
great
force
and
strength
,
without
any
feare
or
dread
,
hee
béeganne
to
charge
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
with
his
terrible
blowes
,
and
with
so
great
force
and
strength
,
that
he
made
him
to
bestur
himselfe
from
the
one
part
to
the
other
,
because
that
he
should
not
fasten
a
full
blow
vpon
him
,
&
this
valiant
knight
of
the
Sun
said
vnto
himselfe
,
that
not
without
iust
cause
&
great
reason
the
fame
of
that
worthie
Hector
endured
so
long
in
the
world
,
and
now
prouing
that
knight
,
who
doth
proceede
of
that
anc●…ent
stock
,
he
doth
finde
him
,
&
doo
beleeue
that
ther
is
not
a
more
valianter
knight
then
he
is
to
be
found
in
all
the
world
,
&
seeing
that
it
was
necessary
&
stood
him
vpon
to
vse
against
him
all
his
power
&
strength
,
he
presently
charged
him
with
his
mightie
&
furious
blowes
.
So
these
two
worthy
knights
endured
in
their
battayle
more
then
one
houre
without
ceasing
or
taking
any
breath
,
but
breaking
their
shields
&
tearing
of
their
shirts
●…f
maile
that
was
so
fine
,
sustaining
the
terrible
blowes
of●…th
other
,
&
by
reason
of
the
great
goodnes
&
finenesse
of
theyr
armour
&
helmes
,
their
furious
swoords
could
not
execute
any
wound
,
yet
for
all
that
their
flesh
&
bones
were
all
〈◊〉
,
and
many
times
they
brought
each
other
out
of
all
r●…membrance
,
&
seeing
that
their
battaile
endured
very
long
,
without
acknowledging
any
aduantage
betwéene
them
.
The
princesse
Lindabrides
was
very
much
amazed
,
likewise
all
the
ladies
&
the
damsels
,
&
giants
that
were
with
hir
,
&
〈◊〉
▪
O●…istedes
for
an
extreame
&
valiant
knight
,
that
so
long
did
sustaine
himselfe
against
the
furie
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
.
Now
was
it
almost
two
houres
that
these
two
valiaunt
knights
were
in
their
battaile
,
when
that
the
knight
of
the
Sun
with
very
much
shame
&
anger
,
for
that
the
battayle
endured
so
long
beefore
the
princesse
,
and
with
one
alone
knight
,
with
both
his
hands
he
stroke
such
a
blow
at
Oristedes
,
vpon
his
fine
and
inchanted
helme
,
that
the
●…ound
thereof
was
heard
throughout
all
that
valley
and
forrest
,
and
endured
a
good
space
,
and
made
him
to
fall
forwardes
vpon
his
saddle
bow
out
of
all
remembrance
,
and
his
horse
carried
him
along
the
bridge
till
he
came
vnto
the
Castle
gate
,
wheras
hee
stayed
till
such
time
as
Oristedes
came
againe
vnto
himselfe
,
very
much
tormented
with
the
force
of
that
mightie
blow
,
and
all
his
face
béerayed
with
blood
,
and
ranne
out
at
his
nose
and
mouth
,
and
when
hée
saw
himselfe
in
that
case
,
with
more
furie
then
euer
hee
was
in
all
his
life
,
hee
set
spurs
vnto
his
horse
,
and
made
him
to
run
towards
he
Knight
of
the
Sunne
with
more
fury
then
his
wearinesse
would
well
consent
,
and
with
his
sword
in
both
his
hands
hee
stroke
him
such
a
terrible
blow
vpon
his
fine
inchanted
helme
,
in
such
sort
,
that
if
his
swerd
had
not
somwhat
glaunced
,
vpon
his
shoulder
,
it
would
haue
put
him
in
great
perill
,
for
that
the
fury
of
that
blow
was
such
,
that
the
knight
of
the
Sun
had
fallen
from
his
horse
to
the
ground
,
if
he
had
not
embraced
himselfe
about
his
horse
neck
,
and
was
so
greatly
amazed
at
the
great
force
&
strength
o●…
Oristedes
,
that
hee
sayd
vnto
himselfe
.
Oh
valyaunt
and
famous
Gréekes
,
such
as
were
ioyned
together
at
the
siege
of
this
great
Citie
of
Troy
,
with
how
great
reason
,
(
aboue
all
things
the
which
dooth
happen
in
this
world
)
ought
you
to
bée
honoured
and
praysed
,
for
that
you
dyd
not
alone
resist
the
great
force
of
the
Sonnes
of
Priamus
,
but
also
you
dyd
destroy
and
ouerthrow
all
his
generation
,
with
all
the
whole
power
of
the
Troyans
:
Oh
Achilles
that
Captayne
of
Greece
,
with
what
reason
can
I
name
my selfe
and
say
,
that
I
dooe
procéede
of
the
noble
blood
,
from
whence
my
father
the
Emperour
dooth
descend
for
that
it
was
not
vnto
thée
so
much
reproch
the
blows
of
that
stout
warrior
,
the
first
begotten
of
Priamus
,
as
are
vnto
me
the
blows
of
this
knight
,
who
doth
descend
of
his
linage
.
And
of
truth
I
doo
say
,
that
if
of
this
reproch
I
doo
not
reuenge
my selfe
,
I
doo
pretend
neuer
héerafter
to
name
my selfe
for
a
Breeke
.
And
in
saying
these
words
the
fury
which
hée
had
was
so
great
,
that
hee
hasted
with
great
spéede
towards
the
valiaunt
Oristedes
,
who
béeing
not
very
well
experienced
with
such
lyke
force
,
dyd
abide
his
comming
,
and
with
both
his
hands
hée
stroke
him
such
an
ouerthwart
blow
vpon
his
strong
and
inchaunted
healme
,
that
hée
made
it
to
flye
of
his
head
,
and
so
vnarmed
hée
fel
from
his
horse
to
the
ground
,
so
far
out
of
remembraunce
and
from
himselfe
,
that
hée
could
not
arise
vp
againe
,
till
such
time
as
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
did
alight
from
his
horse
,
and
did
help
him
.
And
when
that
hée
had
receiued
aire
,
hée
came
againe
vnto
himselfe
,
and
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
tooke
vp
his
helme
,
and
gaue
it
vnto
the
knight
,
saying
:
Gentill
knight
take
vnto
you
armour
,
and
doo
not
loose
by
their
●…ack
,
that
which
your
great
bounty
doth
assure
you
.
Then
Oristedes
,
when
hée
saw
the
great
curtesie
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
hée
threw
his
sword
vnto
the
ground
,
and
sayd
.
My
gods
will
not
consent
,
for
so
much
as
I
doo
lacke
Fortune
,
for
to
defend
my selfe
,
that
I
doo
let
to
acknowledge
,
that
I
am
by
you
ouercome
.
It
is
sufficient
gentill
knight
that
you
haue
ouercome
mee
in
battell
of
armes
,
and
not
now
to
ouercome
mée
in
courtesie
.
Then
the
valyant
and
worthy
Knight
of
the
Sunne
)
wh●…
had
no
good
will
to
combat
with
him
any
more
)
béeing
very
ioyfull
,
hée
went
vnto
him
saying
:
Happy
art
thou
gentill
knight
,
that
your
deedes
doo
giue
to
vnderstand
of
your
discent
,
from
that
noble
and
valiant
Knight
Hector
.
For
as
there
doth
remaine
in
you
force
and
strength
of
armes
,
so
is
ther
no
lack
of
vertue
in
you
.
I
am
hée
that
is
ouercome
,
and
he
hath
the
victory
that
will
not
that
our
battell
should
procéede
any
further
.
And
in
saying
these
words
the
two
knights
did
embrace
one
another
.
And
the
knight
of
the
Sun
at
the
request
of
Oristedes
did
tel
him
who
he
was
,
●…
knowing
the
same
,
at
that
time
he
did
discemble
,
a
maruailous
dolour
and
griefe
the
which
hée
receiued
at
his
hart
.
And
dyd
complaine
very
much
against
his
gods
,
for
that
they
séemed
to
bee
so
fauorable
vnto
the
Greeks
against
the
Troyans
.
So
likewise
when
that
hée
did
know
who
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
was
,
he
went
vnto
hir
,
&
making
a
great
reuerence
,
he
would
haue
kissed
hir
hands
,
for
that
he
did
know
hir
in
the
court
of
the
Emperour
hir
father
,
&
was
two
yéeres
in
the
same
court
,
wheras
he
did
so
high
feats
of
knighthood
,
that
he
was
esteemed
to
bée
one
of
the
best
knigh●…s
in
all
his
owne
countrie
,
and
likewise
in
the
gran
Tartaria
,
and
for
that
hée
was
so
great
a
friend
vnto
the
Prince
Meridian
,
he
did
not
combat
with
him
about
his
demaund
,
and
if
that
Oristedes
would
haue
remained
and
abode
in
the
court
of
the
Emperour
Alicandro
,
hee
would
haue
made
him
a
mightie
Lord
,
but
vnderstanding
the
death
of
his
father
,
and
for
to
mayntayne
that
custome
,
hée
returned
vnto
Troy
,
whereas
hard
by
the
bridge
there
was
a
little
Citie
,
to
the
number
of
two
thousand
households
,
and
inhabited
by
the
descent
of
such
as
remained
at
the
destruction
of
the
great
citie
of
the
Troians
,
and
likewise
vnto
such
Gieekes
whom
the
countrie
did
like
well
.
Now
to
returne
vnto
the
purpose
,
then
did
the
Princesse
receiue
Oristedes
with
great
loue
,
and
said
:
Is
it
true
my
friend
,
will
you
thus
intreate
vs
in
your
owne
Countrie
,
wée
would
not
vse
you
in
this
sort
in
Tartaria
,
if
we
had
you
there
.
Soueraigne
Princesse
,
said
Oristedes
may
it
please
your
highnesse
to
pardon
&
forgiue
mée
this
errour
,
for
that
my
dutie
in
the
which
I
was
bound
by
mine
ancestours
to
maintaine
this
custome
,
as
also
lacke
of
knowing
you
,
was
the
occasion
that
I
haue
committed
this
ouer-sight
,
and
for
that
Oristedes
dyd
know
of
the
demaund
that
the
Prince
Meridian
did
bringe
out
of
his
countrie
,
he
demanded
of
the
Princesse
for
him
.
And
shée
tolde
him
how
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
had
battell
with
him
,
&
of
all
that
passed
betwixt
them
both
.
The
which
when
Oristedes
vnderstood
,
hée
dyd
comfort
himselfe
very
much
,
for
that
it
séemed
vnto
him
to
be
no
reproach
,
for
to
be
ouercome
by
so
valiant
a
knight
,
by
whom
Meridian
was
first
ouercome
,
who
thought
that
ther
was
not
a
knight
in
all
the
world
that
could
match
him
.
So
receiuing
great
contentment
for
the
acknowledge
of
the
Princesse
,
as
also
to
know
that
shée
should
bée
married
to
so
valiant
a
knight
,
with
great
ioy
&
plesure
hée
said
.
For
that
which
vnto
so
high
a
princesse
as
you
are
is
due
,
I
think
it
is
no
reson
that
in
this
sort
alone
you
shuld
enter
into
the
gran
Cataia
,
wheras
are
assembled
the
mightiest
lords
in
the
world
,
in
the
emperors
court
,
therfore
if
you
please
I
will
go
before
,
and
carry
them
the
newes
of
your
comming
,
that
they
may
receiue
you
,
as
your
high
estate
dooth
deserue
,
for
that
I
am
sure
that
the
Emperour
wil
bée
as
glad
as
euer
hée
was
in
all
his
lyfe
with
the
newes
,
and
I
shall
receiue
great
contentment
to
finde
my selfe
present
in
the
Court
of
the
Emperour
Alycandro
,
at
the
celebrating
of
so
high
a
marriage
,
and
at
the
great
triumphs
&
feasts
as
shall
bée
there
made
,
as
also
for
my
bounden
dutie
,
for
the
great
good
will
which
alwayes
the
Emperour
bare
vnto
mée
.
The
Knight
of
the
Sunne
would
very
fayne
haue
disturbed
the
voyage
of
Oristedes
,
for
to
haue
excused
the
great
trauayle
which
hée
should
receiue
in
that
iourney
,
for
that
it
was
very
long
,
and
needes
must
passe
through
very
strange
Countries
,
but
hée
offered
this
with
so
great
good
will
,
that
it
did
profit
nothing
all
that
euer
he
could
doo
for
to
disturb
him
of
his
iourney
.
So
for
that
day
they
all
went
vnto
the
Citie
,
whereas
they
were
meruailously
wel
receiued
,
and
were
serued
of
al
things
very
abundantly
.
Then
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
lookeing
out
of
a
high
window
of
the
pallace
,
hée
saw
péeces
of
walls
and
towers
of
old
antiquitie
,
which
was
a
memorie
of
the
great
Citie
of
Troy
,
and
round
about
the
same
the
wide
and
broad
fields
,
whose
sight
caused
the
teares
to
fall
from
his
eyes
,
when
hee
remembred
the
great
number
of
worthy
knights
,
as
wel
Greeks
as
Troyans
that
were
there
slaine
,
and
béehoulding
the
great
circuite
thereof
,
which
dyd
extend
from
the
one
side
vnto
the
other
foure
miles
,
&
the
smalnesse
of
the
Citie
at
that
present
,
and
the
great
demonstration
of
towers
&
other
mightie
building
,
hee
said
within
himselfe
:
Oh
weake
,
miserable
,
and
feeble
life
of
man
,
what
confidence
or
securitie
canne
mortall
men
haue
in
the
great
riches
and
pompe
of
this
world
,
considering
with
great
attention
the
sodaine
&
vncertaine
mouings
&
changes
of
humane
things
,
&
how
sodainly
they
are
ouercome
&
destroyed
.
Who
had
seene
the
great
citie
of
Troy
compassed
about
with
so
strong
wals
,
and
fortified
with
so
high
and
great
towers
,
and
furnished
with
sumptuous
buildings
,
full
of
people
,
gouerned
by
so
mighty
a
King
,
and
defended
by
so
famous
captaines
,
who
had
knowen
the
King
Priamus
,
Lord
ouer
the
principall
regions
Orientalls
and
Meridionalls
,
of
the
great
Asia
.
Who
had
séene
his
mightie
power
,
his
great
riches
,
his
pride
and
high
estate
,
the
great
number
of
vassalls
and
subiects
,
the
worthinesse
of
his
Captaines
,
the
singular
force
and
strength
of
his
sons
,
and
all
these

Now
I
know

that
with

the
Marriners
doth
call

Fortune

not

dooth
say

that

and
that
it
is
requist
for
to
learne
to
suffer
the
a●…undaunce
of
Fortune
,
for
as
that
wise
Poet
Lirico
sayth
,
〈◊〉
the
high
and
mightie
Pine
Trées
are
oftenest
beaten
〈◊〉

and
the

Towers
〈◊〉

and
on

and
〈◊〉
dooth
the
thunder-bolts
commonly
strike
.
It
is
said
〈◊〉
the
humane
highnesse
of
it selfe
,
is
vnquiet
and
with●…
securitie
,
for
that
there
is
nothing
that
can
bée
so
secret
,
〈◊〉
it
commeth
to

,
as
care
,
trauayle
,

,
〈◊〉
feare

wéeping
,
and
in
the

death
.
And
lykewise
I
doo
now
know
to
bée
true
,
that
how
happy
so
euer
the
béeginning
is
,
the
end
is
vncertaine
and
doubtfull
,
for
that
all
humane
things
dooe
turne

lyke
a

and
after
a

calme
Sea
,
followeth
tempests

troubled

,
and
after
a
cléere
morning
a
clowdie
euening

Therefore
comfort
your selues
you
Greekes
and
Troyans
,
that
haue
béene
banished
in
these
fieldes
of
Troy
,
for
that
the
fame
of
your
mightie
déedes
is
out
of
the
subiection
of
Fortune
,
and
it
cannot
bée
that
by
hir
you
bée
ouerthrowen
so
long
as
the
world
endure
.
In
saying
these
and
many
other
words
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
remained
a
good
while
at
the
same
window
,
with
great
sorrow
and
griefe
which
the
remembrance
of
all
those
things
did
cause
vnto
him
.
So
night
drew
on
,
and
euery
one
went
to
take
their
rest
,
&
after
that
they
had
stayed
there
two
dayes
,
the
knight
Oristedes
tooke
his
leaue
of
them
,
and
tooke
in
his
companie
two
Pages
,
and
departed
out
of
the
Citie
,
&
tooke
his
iourney
towards
the
gran
Cataia
,
and
gran
Tartaria
,
vnto
the
court
of
the
Emperour
Alycandro
,
which
was
in
the
gran
Cataia
.
So
that
at
this
present
the
Historie
doth
leaue
him
with
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
and
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
till
time
serueth
.
How
Rosicleer
and
the
king
Sacridoro
came
into
England
,
and
what
happened
with
them
there
.
Chapter
56.
MAny
dayes
trauailed
Rosicleer
and
the
King
Sacridoro
towards
the
kingdome
of
England
with
so
great
desire
to
find
themselues
there
that
Rosicleer
dyd
thin●…ke
eue●…y
day
to
bée
〈◊〉
whole
yéere
,
&
passed
through
many
countries
wheras
happened
vnto
them
many
&
〈◊〉
things
worthy
to
be
kept
in
memorie
.
Yet
the
historie
dooth
let
them
passe
for
shortning
of
time
.
But
in
the
end
of
much
trauaile
,
they
came
vnto
a
port
hauen
of
Holand
,
whereas
they
found
a
ship
that
was
readie
to
depart
for
England
.
And
being
very
glad
,
for
that
they
found
so
good
oportunitie
,
they
entred
into
the
saide
ship
,
wherein
they
found
many
Ladies
and
damsels
,
accompanied
with
certaine
knights
,
who
declared
that
they
went
vnto
the
Citie
of
London
,
vnto
certaine
triumphs
and
feasts
which
was
made
at
the
marriage
of
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
with
the
Prince
of
Lusitania
,
for
that
in
many
〈◊〉
bordering
there
about
,
it
was
commanded
to
bee
〈◊〉
.
〈◊〉
when
Rosicleer
heard
that
,
hée
was
very
much
〈◊〉
,
not
knowing
what
it
should
meane
,
but
the
damsel
,
〈◊〉
▪
who
did
very
well
know
the
determined
wil
of
the
Pri●…cesse
,
did
straight
way
fall
in
the
reckoning
thereof
,
▪
〈◊〉
.
●…ir
knight
feare
not
,
and
doo
not
dismay
your selfe
,
for
without
all
doubt
ther
is
no
other
thing
in
this
matter
〈◊〉
bée
〈◊〉
,
but
this
which
I
will
tell
you
:
and
is
,
that
●…he
prince
〈◊〉
Siluerio
,
hath
very
much
importuned
the
king
〈◊〉
this
marriage
.
And
he
séeing
the
great
necessitie
that
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
in
,
for
to
maintaine
these
wars
against
the
〈◊〉
Trebatio
,
and
hauing
néede
of
his
aide
and
help
,
will
〈◊〉
v●…to
him
his
daughter
in
marriage
,
although
it
bée
against
hir
will
.
But
this
one
thing
you
shall
vnderstand
〈◊〉
mée
to
bée
for
certayne
,
and
to
builde
vpon
the
Princesse
●…liuia
,
that
at
such
time
as
hir
father
will
compell
hir
to
doo
〈◊〉
thing
perforce
,
that
first
she
will
kill
hir
owne
selfe
,
them
〈◊〉
vnto
the
same
.
And
so
it
●…ell
out
true
,
as
the
damsell
●…elia
,
d●…d
coniecture
,
for
that
the
sorrow
and
paine
of
the
●…nce
Don
Siluerio
,
did
so
much
increse
,
seeing
the
little
good
●…ll
that
the
Princesse
Oliuia
dyd
beare
vnto
him
:
vpon
a
〈◊〉
such
time
as
the
King
was
occupyed
in
preparing
●…ldiers
in
a
redinesse
,
and
other
things
necessary
and
con●…ient
for
the
warres
,
the
Prince
finding
him selfe
all
〈◊〉
with
him
,
bée
sayde
:
That
for
so
much
as
it
was
not
〈◊〉
vnto
him
,
of
his
promise
made
,
to
giue
〈◊〉
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
for
his
wife
,
hée
desired
him
for
to
accomplish
the
same
,
and
to
giue
hir
vnto
him
for
his
spouse
,
if
hée
would
that
hée
should
performe
that
which
hée
had
promised
him
,
of
people
for
the
warres
,
for
that
to
the
contrarie
hée
would
retourne
againe
into
his
owne
Countrie
with
his
Knights
.
Then
when
the
King
saw
with
what
determined
will
hée
spake
vnto
him
,
hée
was
very
sorrowfull
for
the
same
,
and
remayned
a
good
space
with-out
makeing
him
any
auns
were
,
in
which
time
hée
remembred
how
many
and
sundrie
times
hée
had
procured
that
marriage
of
his
daughter
,
and
like
wise
how
often
hée
had
importuned
hir
for
the
same
,
who
alwayes
dyd
apart
hir selfe
by
diuerse
excuses
,
as
though
shée
had
no
great
desire
therunto
.
So
that
if
hée
should
grant
vnto
the
Princes
desire
,
it
must
of
force
bée
done
contrarie
&
against
the
will
of
his
daughter
,
wherein
hée
did
hope
of
no
good
successe
of
that
Marryage
to
bée
done
agaynst
hir
will
,
for
that
in
such
cases
the
principall
to
bée
considered
amongst
men
,
as
well
in
high
estate
,
as
in
meaner
sort
,
is
to
vnderstand
th●…
good
will
〈◊〉
their
daughters
,
for
that
onely
in
them
doth
consist
the
forc●…
of
Matrimonie
.
And
if
there
bée
lacking
this
poynt
therein
they
may
better
say
that
it
is
violence
then
Marriage
.
An●…
agayne
,
the
wound
in
his
heart
was
so
fresh
for
the
death
〈◊〉
the
Prince
Edward
his
sonne
,
that
hée
little
estéemed
to
〈◊〉
uenture
his
estate
and
lyfe
,
for
to
bée
reuenged
for
the
sam●…
and
as
these
grieuous
passions
after
that
once
they
bée
〈◊〉ted
in
man
,
dooth
shut
vp
all
their
sences
&
vnderstanding
that
they
cannot
haue
any
iudgement
within
themselues
to
consider
any
thing
with
reason
:
Euen
so
the
〈◊〉
griefe
which
the
King
conceiued
for
the
death
of
his
sonne
dyd
so
shut
vp
his
vnderstanding
,
that
hée
desired
no
〈◊〉
thing
but
reuengement
.
So
hée
determined
for
to
force
〈◊〉
constraine
his
Daughter
vnto
that
Marriage
,
onely
for
satisfie
his
appetite
and
euill
desire
,
not
hauing
beefore
〈◊〉
eyes
,
neither
consideration
that
after
that
all
should
bée
nished
and
done
,
according
as
hée
would
haue
it
,
that
〈◊〉
sonne
should
remaine
d●…ad
,
and
his
daughter
lost
and
〈◊〉
away
,
for
that
hée
married
hir
against
hir
will
,
and
〈◊〉
séeing
that
if
he
should
deny
to
accomplish
his
promise
vnto
the
prince
,
he
would
returne
againe
into
his
owne
country
with
all
his
people
,
&
without
him
he
could
not
doo
that
which
he
so
greatly
doth
desire
.
So
after
a
while
that
he
was
trobled
with
these
thoughts
,
he
returned
vnto
the
prince
&
said
:
Worthy
prince
of
Lusitania
,
if
I
haue
withdrawen
my selfe
in
giuing
you
my
daughter
to
wife
(
according
as
you
haue
demanded
hir
of
mee
)
doo
not
you
thinke
that
it
hath
beene
neglected
,
or
that
ther
hath
lacked
in
me
any
good
will
,
for
that
rather
more
then
you
I
doo
desire
the
same
,
but
the
detraction
héereof
hath
ben
for
two
causes
,
the
one
,
in
part
of
my
daughter
,
for
that
she
is
young
&
tender
of
age
,
she
hath
no
good
will
to
be
maried
so
soone
,
the
other
,
in
consideration
of
the
great
wars
which
we
doo
looke
for
and
the
great
hast
that
we
doo
make
for
the
same
,
I
would
that
first
all
these
wars
should
be
fi●…ished
&
made
an
end
of
,
&
then
afterwards
with
a
great
deale
more
quietnesse
should
your
mariage
bée
celebrated
with
that
honour
&
highnes
as
is
requisit
vnto
so
high
princes
.
But
now
seeing
it
is
so
that
you
cannot
suffer
so
long
delay
,
I
wil
accomplish
&
performe
all
your
request
,
&
〈◊〉
promise
you
to
giue
you
my
daughter
for
wife
,
&
will
diliuer
hir
vnto
you
as
I
haue
promised
,
before
these
wars
begin
,
&
I
will
at
the
celebrating
of
this
mariage
(
for
that
the
princesse
is
the
onely
heyre
vnto
these
kingdomes
)
that
t●…er
be
made
great
&
solempne
feasts
,
&
that
it
be
proclaymed
in
all
the
kingdomes
&
prouinces
ioyning
héereabouts
,
for
that
this
day
two
moonths
I
will
haue
it
agréed
&
concluded
.
Wherae
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
was
very
glad
&
ioyfull
,
thy
force
did
kisse
the
kings
hands
,
&
offred
vnto
him
all
his
knights
,
&
his
estate
,
at
all
times
when
he
would
commaund
them
,
then
the
prince
did
take
his
leaue
of
the
king
,
&
straight
waies
it
was
knowen
throughout
all
the
citie
,
&
the
feasts
were
proclaimed
.
But
when
the
newes
came
to
the
eares
of
〈◊〉
Oliuia
,
hir
sorrow
&
griefe
was
so
great
,
that
many
times
she
was
at
the
point
of
death
,
&
was
fully
determined
within
hir selfe
,
that
at
such
time
as
hir
Father
would
vse
that
force
vnto
hir
,
that
first
before
she
would
consent
ther
vnto
shée
would
kill
hir selfe
.
Then
the
king
knowing
hir
will
&
mind
to
be
contrary
vnto
his
pretence
,
commanded
hir
to
be
put
into
a
tower
,
&
alonely
in
the
company
of
hir
damsels
,
&
commanded
that
none
should
either
see
or
speake
with
hir
,
beléeuing
that
therby
she
would
reclaime
hir selfe
,
&
yéeld
vnto
his
request
.
In
the
meane
time
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
made
ready
&
put
in
order
all
that
was
requisite
&
néedefull
for
those
feastes
,
with
so
great
expenses
,
&
now
inuentio●…s
,
as
neuer
the
like
hath
be●…
seene
,
for
that
this
was
one
of
the
most
riches
princes
in
all
the
world
,
&
had
brought
with
him
more
then
fiftie
thousand
knights
into
England
,
&
amongst
them
were
such
,
that
they
thought
that
in
all
the
world
was
not
their
equals
.
These
were
the
great
triumphs
and
fea●…ts
that
were
told
vnto
Rosicleer
&
the
king
Sacridoro
in
the
ship
whereas
they
came
passengers
,
all
the
which
they
belée●…ed
to
be
as
Fidelia
had
told
vnto
them
,
&
with
the
great
desire
that
Rosicleer
had
to
méete
with
Don
Siluerio
,
he
thought
to
be
very
slow
the
swift
course
&
sailing
of
th●…
ship
,
as
though
she
did
not
moue
out
of
the
place
.
So
in
this
sort
the
ship
did
nauigate
a
leauen
daies
,
in
the
end
wherof
they
ariued
in
a
port
of
Scotland
,
which
was
a
prouince
of
England
,
&
disi●…barking
themselues
they
gaue
great
thanks
vnto
them
which
came
with
them
in
the
ship
,
for
their
good
conuersation
,
they
tooke
their
leaue
of
them
&
departed
all
alone
,
&
it
was
consented
betwéene
them
that
Fidelia
should
goe
before
,
and
giue
vnderstanding
vnto
the
princesse
Oliuia
of
their
comming
,
and
afterwards
finding
hir
conformable
vnto
their
will
,
they
would
determine
what
was
best
to
bée
done
.
¶
How
Fidelia
went
to
the
Prince
Oliuia
,
and
gaue
hir
vnderstanding
of
the
comming
of
Rosicleer
.
Chapter
.
57.
AS
you
haue
heard
before
,
it
was
concluded
betwéene
the
two
knights
that
Fidelia
should
goe
before
vnto
the
Citie
of
London
,
for
to
carry
newes
vnto
the
princesse
Oliuia
of
th●…
comming
of
Rosicleer
,
&
to
vnderstand
the
estate
of
all
things
.
So
she
tooke
hir
leaue
of
them
&
departed
on
hir
tourney
,
&
they
two
remained
in
a
monestary
of
religious
men
,
which
was
foure
miles
from
London
in
great
confusion
,
not
knowing
how
to
determine
themselues
in
these
matters
,
that
they
stoode
them
so
much
vpon
,
seeing
with
what
great
hast
they
did
prouide
all
things
necessary
for
those
triumphs
&
feasts
,
&
the
celebrating
of
the
mariage
of
the
princesse
Oliuia
,
for
that
within
foure
daies
the
time
would
▪
bée
expired
of
the
two
moneths
which
were
appointed
as
it
was
told
them
of
many
that
they
ouertoke
going
vnto
the
triumphs
.
And
Rosicleer
hearing
the
same
,
was
so
full
of
anguish
in
hart
,
that
he
seemed
like
a
foole
,
furious
&
from
himselfe
,
&
would
neither
eate
nor
drinke
,
neither
all
that
euer
the
king
Sacridoro
could
say
or
doo
,
was
sufficient
for
to
appease
him
,
&
many
times
he
did
arme
himselfe
and
would
haue
taken
his
horse
for
to
goe
and
seeke
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
,
and
wheresoeuer
he
had
found
him
,
to
haue
sl●…ine
him
,
but
by
the
great
wisedome
and
gouernment
of
the
king
,
by
force
and
against
his
will
hée
did
stay
and
detaine
him
,
alwaies
putting
before
him
the
ill
successe
that
would
proceede
in
doing
the
same
,
and
how
that
hée
might
therein
bring
himselfe
into
a
meruailous
perplexitie
,
and
bee
an
occasion
that
the
princesse
Oliuia
shall
bee
put
wheras
hee
shall
neuer
sée
hir
.
Likewise
that
he
should
consider
how
Fidelia
was
gone
to
speake
with
the
princes
Oliuia
,
&
that
it
was
not
good
till
such
time
as
she
had
sent
hir
answere
,
&
giuen
vs
to
vnderstand
hir
purpose
,
not
to
giue
any
attempt
.
With
which
p●…rswasions
Rosicleer
stai●…d
hims●…lfe
,
although
very
sorrowfull
,
and
without
any
contentment
,
or
hope
of
remedy
.
He
did
abide
the
returne
of
Fidelia
,
&
the
answere
she
should
bring
from
hir
ladye
the
princesse
.
Who
when
she
came
vnto
the
citie
of
London
,
she
went
vnto
the
great
pallas
whereas
she
found
not
the
princes
,
but
it
was
told
hir
▪
how
that
the
king
had
commanded
hir
to
be
caried
into
a
strong
tower
,
wheras
no
bodie
could
neither
see
hir
,
nor
speak
with
hir
,
but
only
two
damsels
,
who
did
serue
hir
,
&
without
opening
any
doore
,
to
any
body
all
such
things
as
was
necessary
for
hir
,
was
drawen
vp
at
a
window
.
This
tower
was
scituated
,
vpon
a
high
rock
,
very
strong
,
&
nygh
vnto
a
very
broad
&
déepe
riuer
,
&
walled
round
about
.
And
the
king
kept
the
keies
therof
,
for
that
he
would
that
none
should
enter
in
therat
for
to
visit
the
Princes
,
for
that
she
seeing
hir selfe
so
solitary
,
&
in
so
great
straightnes
,
would
be
the
occasion
,
that
she
would
yéeld
hir selfe
vnto
mariage
,
&
to
doo
all
that
the
kings
pleasure
was
to
command
hir
,
although
it
were
all
onely
for
to
be
cléere
of
so
straight
&
solitary
life
.
So
when
Fidelia
,
came
vnto
the
gates
of
the
tower
,
&
saw
that
they
were
shut
,
she
knocked
at
a
ring
that
hong
therat
,
till
such
time
,
as
a
damsell
whom
she
did
know
very
will
,
did
looke
out
at
a
window
:
who
when
she
knew
Fidelia
,
being
very
much
amazed
to
sée
hir
,
she
said
.
What
hath
ben
become
of
you
my
sister
Fidelia
,
that
in
so
long
time
,
you
haue
not
come
to
visit
the
princes
our
mistresse
,
for
that
your
absence
hath
grieued
hir
very
much
,
and
hath
thought
long
for
your
comming
.
To
whom
Fidelia
,
answered
&
said
,
my
good
friend
I
haue
ben
all
this
time
in
Scotland
in
my
mothers
house
,
for
that
I
was
very
sick
,
&
till
now
she
would
neuer
let
me
depart
from
hir
.
Then
the
other
damsell
said
,
if
you
doo
meane
to
come
in
hether
,
you
must
goe
vnto
the
king
,
for
that
he
hath
the
keies
of
the
tower
.
Then
Fidelia
very
heauy
when
she
heard
these
newes
she
would
stay
ther
no
longer
,
but
went
vnto
the
kings
pallas
.
And
entring
into
his
chamber
,
finding
him
all
alone
,
she
knéeled
downe
before
him
,
and
kis●…ed
his
hands
.
Then
the
king
when
he
knew
hir
,
he
was
very
glad
&
ioyful
of
hir
comming
,
&
said
,
my
friend
Fidelia
,
wher
haue
you
ben
so
long
,
that
you
haue
not
come
to
sée
vs
:
vnto
whom
shée
said
,
in
Scotland
with
my
parentes
,
&
héere
I
doe
desire
your
highnesse
to
pardon
me
.
For
that
,
&
by
reason
of
a
great
infirmitie
which
my
father
had
,
was
the
occasion
that
I
haue
deteyned
my selfe
so
long
,
&
haue
not
come
to
acknowledge
my
duetie
&
seruice
vnto
the
princesse
my
lady
&
mistresse
.
Thou
art
welcome
said
the
king
,
&
héere
I
doe
desire
thée
,
to
goe
&
see
the
princesse
,
&
to
declare
vnto
hir
the
great
benefit
which
will
come
vnto
hir
,
in
taking
for
husband
,
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
.
And
ther
the
king
did
declare
vnto
hir
all
that
was
appointed
to
be
done
,
for
that
he
had
hir
in
reputation
for
hir
grauitie
,
&
wisdome
,
and
thought
that
the
Princesse
would
giue
more
credit
vnto
hir
words
,
then
vnto
any
other
.
Then
Fidelia
,
who
made
a
very
good
semblance
,
shewing
that
all
that
was
done
,
did
seeme
very
well
,
&
that
the
king
had
grea●…
reason
therin
:
did
promise
vnto
him
,
to
te●…l
and
persware
the
princesse
in
such
sort
,
that
she
would
make
to
remoue
hir
purpose
Then
the
king
gaue
the
keies
of
the
tower
,
vnto
one
of
his
priuy
chamber
,
&
commanded
him
to
go
with
Fidelia
,
&
to
open
the
gates
of
the
tower
,
&
bring
Fidelia
〈◊〉
,
&
to
locke
the
gates
againe
,
and
to
bring
him
the
keies
.
So
Fidelia
did
take
hir
leaue
of
the
king
,
&
went
with
the
knight
vnto
the
tower
,
wheras
the
gates
were
opened
,
&
she
being
within
,
they
were
shut
againe
,
&
the
keies
brought
to
the
king
.
Then
Fidelia
,
went
vp
into
the
tower
,
vnto
the
chamber
of
hir
lady
&
mistresse
,
who
hauing
newes
of
hir
entring
into
the
tower
,
did
abide
hir
comming
,
in
so
great
confusion
and
sorrow
,
as
euer
she
was
in
all
hir
life
,
suspecting
the
newes
to
be
very
euill
that
Fidelia
should
bring
hir
.
And
being
in
hir
chamber
all
alone
,
faining
not
to
be
verie
well
,
whereby
shee
might
the
better
vnderstand
of
Fidelia
the
whole
effect
of
hir
message
.
Who
so
soone
as
she
entred
into
the
chamber
,
she
kneeled
downe
beefore
hir
,
and
did
kisse
hir
hands
,
at
which
time
the
princesse
had
no
power
to
speak
vnto
hir
,
she
was
so
sodainly
taken
,
&
pinched
at
hir
hart
,
misdoubting
hir
embassage
,
but
after
a
while
comming
againe
vnto
hir selfe
,
as
though
she
had
awaked
out
of
a
dreame
or
sound
sléepe
,
and
seeing
in
presence
an
other
damsell
,
who
at
the
same
instance
,
entred
in
she
said
.
Thou
art
welcome
my
Fidelia
,
tell
me
how
thy
mother
doth
who
hath
ben
the
occasion
of
thy
so
long
tarying
ther.
Ah
my
good
lady
,
said
Fidelia
,
my
mother
hath
lien
so
sicke
,
that
a
thousand
times
I
thought
she
would
haue
died
,
&
although
that
I
would
many
times
before
,
haue
departed
to
haue
come
hether
,
yet
would
she
neuer
consent
therevnto
,
till
now
that
thankes
bée
vnto
God
she
doth
remaine
very
well
.
I
am
very
glad
therof
,
said
the
Princesse
,
although
I
haue
thought
long
for
your
comming
.
And
in
saying
these
wordes
the
other
damsell
went
foorth
,
&
Fidelia
,
did
shut
the
doore
after
hir
,
so
that
the
princes
,
&
Fidelia
remained
all
alone
.
And
séeing
that
she
would
giue
hir
newes
of
hir
embassage
,
she
was
againe
so
sodainly
taken
that
she
had
no
hart
to
heare
hir
,
but
looked
so
pale
,
as
though
she
had
ben
dead
,
trembling
with
all
hir
body
&
flesh
,
as
though
she
had
ben
afraide
to
heare
what
Fidelia
would
say
.
Who
with
a
gentle
laughter
to
see
the
princes
in
that
case
,
shée
said
.
If
the
straunge
countries
,
high
waies
,
mountaines
,
&
desolat
places
,
in
the
which
I
haue
trauailed
&
the
troubles
which
I
haue
suffered
,
and
the
great
perills
in
the
which
I
haue
seene
my selfe
,
were
manifest
vnto
you
(
my
lady
&
mistresse
)
then
doe
I
will
beléeue
that
you
should
be
satisfied
,
of
the
great
loue
,
&
good
will
,
that
your
Fidelia
,
hath
to
serue
you
.
How
oftentimes
in
the
cruell
téeth
,
&
vnmercifull
nailes
of
furious
beasts
,
did
I
think
to
be
torne
all
to
peeces
,
finding
my selfe
all
alone
in
the
deserts
of
Siria
,
&
inhabited
Petrea
.
How
many
times
in
the
high
towers
and
rowling
mountaines
of
sand
,
haue
I
ben
deliuered
,
out
of
the
deserts
of
Affrica
,
&
how
many
tunes
hath
mine
honor
put
beene
to
sale
,
&
I
to
be
lost
in
so
many
strange
countries
,
in
the
which
I
haue
passed
,
and
fallen
into
the
power
of
monstrous
and
strange
kind
of
people
,
&
of
different
maners
&
customes
,
I
haue
found
&
séene
my selfe
in
all
these
perils
&
daungers
,
&
God
hath
brought
me
out
&
deliuered
me
from
all
these
tribulations
,
&
in
the
end
of
all
,
when
I
was
past
all
hope
to
find
out
him
that
I
sought
,
&
at
such
time
as
my
honour
was
in
the
greatest
perill
to
be
lost
,
&
being
caried
prisoner
with
my
hands
bound
,
in
the
power
of
the
most
euillest
knight
that
euer
humaine
nature
framed
,
&
so
valiant
in
armes
,
that
all
the
whole
empire
of
Russia
did
feare
&
tremble
at
him
,
then
did
god
aide
&
help
me
,
by
méeting
of
that
happy
&
fortunate
Knight
,
he
who
neuer
in
the
world
was
borne
the
like
,
for
refuge
&
defence
of
damsels
,
he
who
had
trauailed
&
wandered
throughout
all
the
world
,
accomplishing
the
banishment
that
by
you
was
commanded
him
,
whose
life
was
as
a
fantasie
vnto
his
soule
,
with
more
desire
of
death
then
to
liue
,
his
fortune
at
this
time
did
bring
him
,
whereas
without
knowing
me
he
slew
that
euill
knight
that
caried
me
prisoner
,
with
other
damsels
the
which
he
had
taken
,
and
after
that
he
had
s●…aine
him
,
comming
for
to
set
vs
at
liberty
,
hée
straight
waies
knew
me
,
&
calling
to
his
remembrance
that
cruell
sentence
of
yours
the
which
I
caried
vnto
him
,
&
deliuered
after
that
out
of
the
like
perill
he
had
deliuered
me
,
his
griefe
was
such
in
his
heart
,
that
for
the
space
of
two
houres
we
had
him
for
dead
,
at
which
time
if
the
letter
of
your
succour
had
not
ben
presented
vnto
him
,
I
beleeue
hée
would
ther
haue
ended
his
daies
.
To
conclude
,
he
read
your
letter
,
&
ther
with
receiued
so
great
ioy
,
that
he
séemed
to
be
transported
into
another
world
and
of
truth
my
lady
,
you
may
beleeue
,
that
according
vnto
the
sorrowfull
life
which
he
hath
lead
,
and
the
ouer
much
troubles
which
he
hath
passed
for
your
occasion
,
that
now
he
is
as
one
restored
from
death
to
life
,
he
is
come
with
me
,
and
hath
brought
with
him
that
worthy
king
Sacridoro
,
he
who
many
times
you
haue
heard
tell
,
did
launch
himselfe
into
the
fountaine
of
the
Sauages
after
him
,
so
that
they
are
now
the
greatest
friends
in
the
world
.
They
are
altogether
,
&
●…oo
remaine
in
a
place
foure
miles
from
hence
,
tarrieng
to
know
what
your
pleasure
is
to
command
them
.
The
princes
was
so
attentiue
vnto
that
which
hir
damsell
told
,
that
when
she
had
made
an
end
of
hir
tale
,
with
the
great
ioy
which
she
receiued
,
the
teares
ran
down
hir
faire
chéekes
,
&
felt
within
hir
hart
so
meruailous
pleasure
&
soueraigne
contentment
,
that
she
found
hir self
cleane
changed
from
that
she
was
wont
to
be
,
in
such
sort
that
she
had
no
tongue
to
speake
vnto
Fidelia
,
neither
did
she
remember
to
make
hir
answere
,
for
that
all
hir
sences
were
occupied
in
thinking
on
Rosicleer
,
not
béeléeuing
to
receiue
so
great
a
benefit
as
to
sée
him
.
Then
Fidelia
seing
hir
in
that
case
,
to
●…e
hir
by
the
hands
,
&
bringing
hir
to
remembrance
,
she
said
:
Lady
,
why
doo
not
you
answere
mée
,
and
giue
mee
thanks
for
this
security
which
I
haue
done
,
for
I
perceyue
that
now
I
haue
accomplished
and
brought
to
passe
all
that
you
so
much
desired
,
you
make
no
account
of
me
:
Ab
Fidelia
,
said
the
princes
,
my
hart
is
full
of
anguish
&
griefe
,
that
I
cannot
comprehend
so
great
a
benefit
which
God
doth
shew
vnto
me
,
onely
in
that
I
know
that
Rosicleer
is
aliue
,
and
if
hée
did
come
see
me
,
hauing
my
perfect
remembrance
,
my
pleasure
&
contented
ioy
should
be
such
,
that
in
all
things
I
should
thinke
my selfe
happy
,
if
death
did
take
me
in
Rosicleers
armes
.
Lady
,
saide
Fidelia
,
let
all
such
matters
passe
,
and
let
vs
be
diligent
in
that
which
is
most
conuenient
to
reserne
the
life
of
you
and
Rosicleer
,
and
to
make
all
things
sure
for
that
which
is
to
come
,
for
with
death
you
can
put
small
remedy
in
that
which
is
past
.
Ah
my
Fidelia
,
said
the
Princesse
,
one
euill
béeing
past
,
another
is
come
,
doo
you
not
sée
this
my
close
kéeping
,
and
how
fast
my
Father
hath
mée
in
this
tower
,
that
of
a
thousand
other
damsells
I
cannot
bée
seene
.
And
aboue
all
this
,
hée
hath
promised
vnto
Don
Siluerio
,
that
within
these
foure
daies
,
hée
will
marry
mée
vnto
him
,
and
deliuer
mée
in
his
power
,
to
lead
my
life
with
him
,
therefore
my
good
friend
,
imagine
with
your selfe
what
is
best
to
bee
done
,
in
this
my
great
trouble
,
for
that
I
know
not
what
I
should
say
.
Fidelia
likewise
was
at
hir
wittes
end
,
not
knowing
what
was
best
to
bée
done
,
for
that
the
tower
whereas
they
were
was
so
strong
,
and
the
windowes
of
so
great
height
,
that
it
was
not
possible
for
any
to
enter
into
the
tower
,
except
it
were
by
the
gate
.
So
that
both
of
them
passed
away
the
day
in
great
confusion
,
and
likewise
the
night
,
without
sleeping
any
whit
at
all
,
but
talking
and
imagining
what
was
best
to
bée
done
,
in
that
so
dangerous
and
perillous
a
case
.
How
Fidelia
departed
from
the
Court
,
and
went
to
speake
with
rosicleer
at
the
Monasterie
,
wheras
shee
left
him
.
Chapter
58.
WHen
the
next
morning
was
come
,
Fidelia
said
vnto
the
princesse
,
that
forasmuch
as
beetwixt
them
two
they
could
finde
no
remedie
how
and
by
what
meanes
Rosicleer
might
come
and
speake
with
hir
,
that
if
it
were
hir
pleasure
shee
would
goe
vnto
the
place
whereas
shée
left
them
,
&
sée
if
they
could
determine
some
meanes
for
to
disturb
this
that
the
king
did
determine
to
doo
with
Don
Siluerio
,
&
set
hir
at
liberty
out
of
that
secret
bondage
.
The
which
counsaile
séemed
very
good
vnto
the
Princesse
and
commaunded
hir
presently
to
goe
foorth
and
put
it
in
vre
.
But
how
is
it
possible
to
go
forth
,
the
king
hauing
the
keyes
of
the
tower
?
Feare
not
for
this
said
Fidelia
,
for
I
haue
good
remedy
for
the
same
.
And
in
saying
this
she
went
vnto
a
window
,
and
séeing
an
ancient
man
thát
passed
vp
&
downe
,
&
calling
him
vnto
hir
,
she
bad
him
to
come
nigh
vnto
the
tower
,
and
said
vnto
him
:
Good
man
,
for
gods
loue
I
do
desire
thée
to
do
so
much
for
me
,
as
to
go
vnto
the
king
,
&
to
tell
him
that
Fidelia
the
damsell
of
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
would
speake
with
him
about
certayne
matters
which
dooth
accomplish
very
much
hir
highnesse
,
&
that
I
would
desire
him
to
commaund
the
gate
of
the
tower
to
bée
opened
that
I
may
come
foorth
.
This
ancient
man
tooke
his
leaue
of
hir
,
&
promised
to
performe
hir
request
▪
So
he
went
vnto
the
king
,
and
declared
the
message
of
Fidelia
,
who
when
he
heard
it
was
very
glad
and
ioyfull
,
beeléeuing
that
it
was
concerning
that
which
he
had
sayd
vnto
hir
,
&
deliuered
the
keyes
vnto
his
chamberlaine
,
who
was
a
very
honest
old
man
,
and
commanded
him
to
go
&
to
open
the
tower
gate
,
that
Fidelia
might
come
out
.
Then
the
chamberlaine
did
as
hée
was
commanded
,
&
Fidelia
tooke
hir
leaue
of
the
Princesse
&
went
vnto
the
king
,
and
taking
him
on
the
one
side
somwhat
a
part
,
shée
sayd
:
Soueraigns
Lord
,
you
shall
vnderstand
that
I
haue
got
the
victorie
of
the
princesse
,
&
shée
sayth
,
that
seeing
it
is
your
pleasure
shée
is
very
wel
content
to
marry
with
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
,
and
if
she
hath
not
hetherto
consented
,
the
occasion
hath
ben
hir
yong
&
tender
age
,
and
also
considering
the
great
wars
which
is
looked
for
,
shée
knew
not
how
God
would
dispose
with
hir
husband
,
for
that
hée
is
a
young
and
very
couragious
,
by
reason
wherof
he
would
put
himselfe
wheras
should
bée
the
greatest
peril
and
danger
.
At
which
words
the
king
receiued
so
great
contentment
,
that
hee
sayde
vnto
Fidelia
.
There
is
nothing
in
the
world
that
doeth
so
much
content
mée
▪
for
to
marry
hir
against
hir
will
,
would
bée
a
gri●…uous
corsiue
vnto
my
hart
,
and
therewith
hée
cast
his
armes
about
hir
neck
,
and
embraced
hir
,
and
gaue
hir
great
thanks
for
hir
trauaile
therein
,
and
promised
hir
for
hir
paines
taken
,
to
marry
hir
very
honourably
.
If
it
please
your
highnesse
,
sayd
Fidelia
,
the
Princesse
my
Lady
willeth
mée
to
goe
vnto
the
Monastery
of
Nuns
,
that
is
twelue
miles
from
this
Citie
,
to
comm̄aund
them
to
make
certaine
workes
which
shee
hath
great
neede
of
.
Let
it
bee
done
in
Gods
name
sayd
the
King
,
goe
thy
wayes
and
God
send
thee
good
speede
.
And
heerwith
Fidelia
tooke
hir
leaue
of
the
king
,
very
ioyfull
,
and
shee
beeing
gone
,
the
king
presently
sent
for
don
Siluerio
,
and
when
hee
came
hee
sayde
vnto
him
,
how
the
Princesse
was
content
to
bee
married
vnto
him
,
and
that
all
things
should
bée
made
readie
for
the
marriage
.
But
when
the
prince
don
Siluerio
heard
that
newes
,
there
was
no
ioy
and
pleasure
in
the
world
that
might
bee
compared
vnto
his
,
and
béeing
proud
with
the
same
,
hée
went
and
gaue
all
his
knights
vnderstanding
therof
,
and
presently
it
was
published
throughout
all
the
Citie
,
for
the
which
they
were
very
ioyfull
,
and
the
preparation
for
the
feasts
and
triumphs
went
forwarde
more
then
it
dyd
beefore
.
Then
Fidilia
who
in
all
this
time
dyd
not
sleepe
,
but
in
great
hast
trauayled
towards
the
monasterie
,
whereas
shee
left
the
two
knights
,
and
at
hir
comming
thether
Rosicleer
receiued
hir
with
great
pleasure
,
for
hée
thought
euerie
houre
hée
trauailed
to
bée
a
whole
yéere
.
And
when
shee
had
declared
vnto
him
the
whole
estate
of
all
things
,
and
of
the
great
ioy
which
the
Princesse
receiued
for
his
comming
,
one
way
hée
was
very
ioyfull
,
for
that
his
Lady
shewed
him
so
great
loue
,
and
another
way
hée
was
in
great
confusion
,
not
knowing
what
order
might
bée
taken
for
to
deliuer
his
Lady
and
mistresse
out
of
that
great
perplexitie
in
the
which
shée
was
brought
,
with
the
which
shée
was
brought
with
the
marriage
of
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
,
but
in
the
ende
after
great
debating
beetwéene
them
,
the
king
Sacridoro
who
receiued
as
great
griefe
for
the
sorrow
of
his
friend
as
though
it
had
been
vnto
himselfe
:
My
good
Lord
and
friend
,
that
which
I
can
say
is
this
,
that
for
these
and
such
like
attempts
god
did
ordaine
knights
in
the
world
for
to
surpasse
others
,
and
so
likewise
to
bee
in
greater
per●…ls
,
&
for
to
doo
such
things
that
should
séeme
to
surpasse
and
exceede
nature
,
and
to
appeare
straunge
vnto
others
,
for
if
the
lustaining
of
perils
were
equall
in
all
degrees
,
then
for
very
little
should
serue
the
extremitie
of
knights
,
for
that
they
should
not
finde
wherein
to
exercise
themselues
,
for
to
appeare
valianter
then
others
.
Therefore
séeing
that
God
hath
made
you
more
valyaunter
then
any
in
the
world
,
you
ought
for
to
put
your
person
in
aduenture
to
put
remedie
in
this
matter
,
with
reproach
and
perill
vnto
your
●…erson
,
such
as
neuer
hath
béene
séene
in
Knight
,
séeing
that
●…he
Princesse
Oliuia
is
so
fast
locked
in
,
that
to
take
hir
out
from
thence
it
is
a
thing
impossible
,
and
it
is
now
requisit
that
you
doo
pacifie
your
altered
minde
,
that
you
may
the
better
abide
time
and
season
to
worke
oùr
feate
.
And
my
iudgement
is
this
,
that
wée
doo
waight
the
time
that
the
king
shall
command
the
Princesse
to
bée
taken
out
of
the
Tower
,
to
carrie
hir
vnto
the
pallace
for
to
celebrate
the
Marriage
with
Don
Siluerio
at
which
time
there
will
bée
little
memorie
of
armour
,
but
all
occupied
in
apparayling
themselues
,
and
to
seeke
out
new
inuentions
,
then
wée
to
enter
in
,
and
to
take
the
princesse
from
them
,
and
paying
with
your
rigorous
arme
him
who
shall
withstand
vs
,
for
that
at
that
time
they
shal
not
haue
so
great
strentgh
,
for
to
cause
vs
to
stay
,
and
if
once
wée
get
well
out
of
the
Citie
,
wée
haue
the
sea
at
hand
,
wheras
wée
cannot
lack
a
ship
,
all
furnished
and
readie
for
to
make
Sayle
,
wée
béeing
once
within
,
and
betwixt
this
and
that
place
our
horse
be
so
good
,
that
I
béeleeue
there
is
not
any
that
can
ouertake
vs
,
of
all
remedies
impossible
,
this
is
one
amongst
them
that
is
possible
to
bée
done
,
therefore
now
my
Lord
,
consider
with
your
s●…lfe
,
what
is
best
to
bée
done
in
this
extremitie
.
Then
Rosicleer
who
was
meruaylous
attentiue
vnto
these
words
which
the
King
Sacridoro
had
sayde
:
hauing
his
hart
so
valiant
and
couragious
for
such
like
attempts
,
and
likeing
the
counsaile
of
that
inuention
very
well
,
beefore
that
the
King
had
fully
ended
his
iudgement
,
when
that
hée
would
haue
put
himselfe
in
that
enterprise
,
and
finding
this
to
bée
the
best
remedy
,
they
concluded
,
and
straight
wayes
therewith
they
all
thrée
departed
to
the
sea
side
,
which
was
not
far
of
,
and
when
they
came
thether
they
procured
to
seeke
out
and
to
prouide
for
to
serue
theyr
turne
a
good
Ship
,
and
amongst
a
great
number
of
strangers
that
were
come
thethey
with
people
for
to
sée
theyr
feasts
,
they
chaunced
to
enter
into
one
,
which
séemed
vnto
them
to
bée
the
strongest
and
the
best
sayler
amongst
them
all
.
And
talking
with
the
master
or
patron
thereof
,
they
found
him
to
bee
of
the
Empire
of
Greece
,
and
Rosicleer
knowing
him
by
hi●…
speech
to
bée
of
Greece
,
hee
tooke
him
a
part
,
and
dyd
discouer
vnto
him
who
hée
was
,
and
tolde
him
what
great
necessity
hee
had
of
him
and
of
his
shéep
,
promising
him
excellent
payment
,
with
the
aduantage
,
if
so
bée
that
they
did
well
escape
with
their
enterprise
,
and
without
reproch
.
Then
the
Maister
of
the
Ship
béeing
a
Grecian
,
and
hauing
heard
of
Rosicleer
,
was
very
glad
and
ioyfull
,
for
that
hée
had
so
good
opportunitie
to
serue
him
,
would
haue
kissed
his
hands
,
as
the
hands
of
his
Lord
and
Prince
,
and
offered
him
not
onely
his
ship
,
but
also
his
lyfe
to
serue
him
at
that
and
all
other
times
.
Then
Rosicleer
with
great
loue
embraced
him
,
and
gaue
him
great
thankes
,
and
all
the
rest
of
the
day
that
remayned
,
they
were
in
the
Ship
with
him
,
putting
in
order
all
things
necessary
,
as
vnto
so
peril●…ous
an
enterprise
was
requisit
.
So
the
next
day
drew
on
of
the
marriage
,
as
it
was
agréede
,
which
should
bee
the
third
day
,
in
the
which
time
these
two
perfect
friends
did
peruse
and
mend
their
armour
,
and
fortified
theyr
ship
,
for
it
séemed
according
vnto
the
great
necessitie
into
the
which
they
were
driuen
,
that
it
was
all
néedefull
.
So
the
next
day
béeing
come
,
Fidelia
took●…
hir
leaue
of
them
,
and
went
vnto
the
citie
,
&
straight
waies
vnto
the
king
,
who
commaunded
that
the
Tower
should
bee
opened
,
willing
hir
to
doo
his
hearty
commendations
vnto
his
daughter
,
and
to
tell
hir
that
shée
should
make
hir selfe
in
a
readinesse
,
for
the
next
day
shée
should
come
foorth
to
see
the
great
feasts
&
triumphs
which
the
Prince
Don
Siluerio
hath
ordayned
for
hir
sake
.
With
this
Fidelia
tooke
hir
leaue
of
the
king
and
departed
,
and
the
gates
of
the
Tower
béeing
opened
,
shee
entered
in
therat
,
&
the
gates
were
shut
againe
●…s
beefore
.
When
shée
came
vnto
the
Princesse
,
they
two
to●…ether
entred
into
hir
closet
all
alone
,
and
there
Fidilia
de●…lared
vnto
the
Princesse
all
that
euer
shée
had
passed
with
●…he
King
hir
Father
,
and
what
was
concluded
with
the
two
●…ights
.
And
when
the
Princesse
vnderstood
the
great
perill
●…nd
daunger
in
the
which
shee
should
put
hir selfe
,
hir
heart
〈◊〉
hir
to
think
thereof
,
and
waxing
pale
of
coulour
,
shée
〈◊〉
as
though
shee
had
béen
dead
,
not
knowing
whe●…her
shée
were
in
Heauen
or
in
the
earth
.
At
which
time
Fidelia
,
dyd
comfort
hir
saying
:
What
is
this
my
Lady
and
mistresse
,
at
such
time
as
his
death
was
most
published
,
and
you
enuironed
with
most
mortall
anguish
,
at
that
time
,
you
had
a
good
hart
for
to
suffer
all
,
&
courage
for
to
discemble
.
And
now
you
that
haue
your
knight
so
nigh
at
hand
with
hope
quickly
for
to
sée
him
,
you
doo
lacke
force
for
to
suffer
,
and
your
hart
doo
faile
you
for
to
enioy
him
,
that
more
then
your
owne
lyfe
you
haue
desired
.
For
Gods
loue
doo
it
not
,
my
Lady
,
but
rather
animate
your
salfe
,
and
do
you
reioyse
,
for
that
in
such
great
necessitie
,
the
great
valour
of
noble
courage
is
knowen
:
and
in
especiall
,
whereas
no
euill
may
chance
vnto
you
,
but
rather
a
further
benefit
and
contentment
of
minde
,
more
then
hetherto
it
hath
béene
vnto
you
.
And
if
once
Rosicleer
,
haue
got
you
into
his
power
,
then
is
there
nothing
that
can
bée
hurtfull
vnto
you
,
for
to
●…ourne
you
to
any
griefe
,
for
that
you
haue
recouered
for
your
husband
,
the
most
high
and
worthiest
Prince
in
all
the
world
as
well
in
his
estate
,
as
of
his
person
.
Then
the
Princess●…
sayde
,
with
a
great
sigh
,
ah
,
Fidelia
,
I
haue
no
dread
nor
perill
of
my
owne
part
,
for
that
I
dyd
choose
rather
to
kill
my selfe
,
then
to
doo
any
other
thing
to
the
contrarie
.
So
that
I
haue
little
feare
in
any
other
thing
,
touching
my selfe
:
but
my
feare
is
onely
for
Rosicleer
,
for
that
this
his
enterprise
the
which
hée
dooth
take
in
hand
is
great
,
his
life
must
needs
bée
in
great
perill
,
if
God
for
his
〈◊〉
mersie
do
not
maruaylously
delyuer
him
.
For
this
cause
(
sayde
Fidelia
,
)
hath
God
made
him
of
such
force
aboue
all
other
,
for
tha●…
hee
hath
deliuered
and
cleered
himselfe
,
in
greater
daungers
then
this
is
:
so
if
God
permit
,
hée
will
cléere
himselfe
o●…
this
.
And
I
doo
béeleeue
,
that
God
hath
not
forgot
you
,
bu●…
will
deliuer
you
,
with
your
honour
,
out
of
this
rebuke
,
an●…
will
not
permit
that
your
father
the
king
,
shuld
do
so
grea●…
outrage
,
in
forcing
you
to
marrie
against
your
will
.
S●…
with
these
&
other
such
words
in
effect
,
did
Fidelia
perswad●…
the
princesse
Oliuia
,
in
such
sort
,

WHen
the
day
was
come
that
the
marriage
of
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
with
the
prince
don
Siluerio
should
bée
celebrated
,
the
great
Citie
of
London
was
so
ful
of
people
as
well
straungers
,
as
those
borne
in
the
Countrie
,
that
the
streets
could
scarce
hold
them
,
&
all
the
streets
were
full
with
the
military
knighthood
of
Lusitania
,
the
which
did
publish
&
set
foorth
the
great
power
&
mightinesse
of
the
prince
don
Siluerio
,
who
was
that
day
apparailed
with
very
●…ich
apparel●…
,
of
cloth
of
Affrica
,
full
of
meruailous
precious
●…tones
of
the
Indias
Orientals
,
&
accompanied
with
many
va●…iant
knights
of
his
owne
,
and
also
borne
in
the
countrie
of
●…ngland
,
and
in
company
with
the
king
,
they
went
vnto
the
●…hurch
,
and
in
the
midst
amongst
them
the
thrée
precious
●…nd
estéemed
Princes
,
Bargandel
,
Liriamandro
,
and
〈◊〉
Zoylo
,
vnto
whom
the
Prince
▪
Don
Siluerio
dyd
offer
〈◊〉
friendship
.
Then
when
seruice
was
done
,
the
King
〈◊〉
inuite
,
to
dinner
with
him
,
all
the
most
estéemed
●…nights
that
were
in
the
Court
,
as
well
straungers
as
●…ose
of
the
Countrie
,
and
there
was
so
great
a
number
of
〈◊〉
,
that
they
could
scarce
be
placed
in
the
mightie
pallace
.
And
after
that
with
great
maiestie
&
pomp
they
had
ended
their
dinner
,
they
together
did
accompany
the
king
vnto
the
tower
,
for
to
take
out
the
princesse
Oliuia
,
who
being
aduertised
by
Fidelia
what
shée
should
doo
,
was
meruaylous
richly
apparayled
,
abiding
they
time
that
the

come
to
take

out
of
the
tower
,
and
dissembling
with
hir selfe
cleane
contrarie
vnto
that
which
was
in
hir
stomacke
.
So
when
the
gates
of
the
tower
were
opened
,
shée
descended
downe
from
hir
closet
,
accompanied
with
hir
damsells
,
and
Brandizel
&
Lyriamandro
did
take

Palfraye
,
which

ordayned
for

Knights

,
and
put
hir

a
royall
estate
that
was
appoynted
,
whereas
shée
might
sée
all
the
feasts
and
triumphs
.
When
don
Siluerio
saw
hir
to
bee
so
fayre
and
of
so
great
beauty
,
that
in
all
the
whole
world

not

at
that
presen●…
,
hée
was
as
ioyfull
as
euer
hee
was
in
all

,
and
was
so
gallant
and
mercie
,
as
though
they
had
giuen
vnto
him
all
the
whole
world
,
and
did
pretend
to
doo
such
things
that
day
,
that
the
Princesse
should
haue
him
in
estimation
for
a
very
valyant
Knight
.
Their

they
had
ordayned
in

,
fiftie
of

the

,
dyd

,
which
were

in
the

of

on

was
do●…
Siluerio
in
another
Tent
,
very
richly
wrought
with
gold
and
silke
,
an●…
was
ordayned
,
that
all
such
ventrous
Knight
as
had
in
Iust
or

ouercome
any

Knights
should
afterwards
Combat
with
him
one
after
another
and
he
had
his
shield
likewise
hanged
vpon
his
tent
,
as
the
others
had
,
setting
himself
in
a
chaire
at
the
tent
doore
,
wheras
he
might
very
well
at
his
pleasure
sée
all
that
euer
was
done
by
his
knights
.
And
the
king
was
set
in
his
roiall
place
appointed
,
&
hauing
in
his
company
,
those
three
worthy
princes
,
Bargandell
,
Lyriamandro
,
&
the
tartarian
Zoylo
,
who
because
they
were
so
great
friends
vnto
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
,
they
would
not
as
that
day
iust
,
but
did
beare
the
king
company
.
Likewise
many
other
princes
and
knights
which
came
thether
to
see
the
triumphs
&
feasts
,
&
being
all
set
in
order
,
the
●…usts
began
,
for
ther
was
come
forth
into
the
court
an
english
knight
called
Amberto
,
very
valiant
&
couragious
,
&
famous
in
all
that
country
,
who
straight
waies
at
his
cu●…ring
in
,
she
wing
a
valiant
mind
,
he
went
vnto
the
tents
,
and
with
his
speare
he
touched
the
shields
of
the
knights
of
Lusitania
,
whose
owner
straight
waies
came
foorth
,
who
was
one
of
the
stoutest
that
was
amongst
them
all
,
whose
name
was
Bramides
,
&
being
mounted
vppon
a
strong
and
great
horse
,
with
his
speare
in
his
hand
he
put
himselfe
into
the
field
,
&
Amberto
doing
the
like
,
with
so
great
fury
and
force
as
their
horses
could
run
,
they
made
their
encounter
,
which
was
in
such
sort
,
that
the
english
knight
was
pushed
out
of
his
saddle
downe
to
the
ground
,
&
Bramides
of
Lusitauia
procéeded
forwards
on
his
course
,
without
any
mouing
,
and
as
though
he
had
done
nothing
,
for
the
which
he
was
estéemed
of
the
king
Oliuerio
&
of
all
those
that
beeheld
him
to
bée
a
worthy
knight
,
&
presently
after
the
foile
of
Amberto
,
came
foorth
into
the
court
a
strange
knight
,
who
was
very
desirous
to
get
honor
,
but
at
the
first
encounter
Bramides
of
Lusitania
●…uerthrew
him
,
&
without
staying
he
ouerthrew
sixe
or
sea●…en
that
came
forth
to
iust
with
him
,
&
this
being
done
,
hée
went
into
his
tent
,
wher
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
receiued
so
great
pleasure
,
that
he
did
not
let
but
say
vnto
the
king
(
who
was
in
his
roiall
estate
hard
by
wheras
he
was
)
how
doth
●…our
maiestie
like
the
knight
of
Lusitania
that
can
so
wel
behaue
themselues
and
maintaine
the
field
.
It
séemeth
vnto
mée
said
the
king
,
that
if
all
they
be
conformeble
vnto
this
knight
,
they
ought
to
be
had
in
great
estimation
.
At
this
time
entred
another
valiant
knight
into
the
field
,
and
was
naturally
borne
in
Fraunce
,
called
Reno
,
who
touching
with
his
speare
one
of
the
shéelds
,
ther
came
straight
waies
another
knight
of
Lusitania
,
who
although
he
was
a
very
valiant
knight
,
yet
the
French
knight
was
of
so
great
force
,
that
at
the
first
encounter
he
ouerthrew
him
to
the
ground
,
&
passed
on
his
course
as
though
he
had
done
nothing
at
all
,
&
presently
taking
another
speare
in
his
hand
,
he
went
vnto
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
,
&
touched
his
shéeld
with
his
speare
,
&
straight
waies
the
prince
came
foorth
mounted
vpon
his
mightie
horse
,
very
gallant
&
couragious
,
&
ioyning
in
their
encounter
,
although
the
french
king
was
very
valiant
,
yet
the
prince
was
of
far
greater
strength
,
by
reason
wherof
he
gaue
him
and
his
horse
a
great
fall
vnto
the
ground
.
Wherat
the
king
&
all
those
that
did
behold
it
,
receiued
meruailous
great
contentment
of
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
.
So
the
most
part
of
the
day
was
passed
away
,
wherein
the
knights
of
Lusitania
had
ouerthrowen
vnto
the
ground
more
the●…
fiue
hundreth
other
knights
,
&
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
in
al●…
that
time
receiued
no
foile
that
was
any
thing
to
his
reproch
for
the
which
he
was
very
glad
&
ioyfull
,
&
thought
that
i●…
all
the
world
at
that
present
there
was
not
one
like
vnt●…
him
,
who
imagined
that
the
princesse
Oliuia
receiued
grea●…
contentment
therat
,
who
had
hir
vnderstanding
occupied
i●…
other
matters
,
and
had
hir
mind
so
occupied
vpon
Rosiclee●…
that
she
had
no
regard
vnto
any
thing
that
was
done
in
〈◊〉
the
great
court
,
and
hauing
continually
before
hir
eyes
th●…
great
reproch
which
should
be
done
vnto
hir
that
night
,
sh●…
was
so
full
of
feare
,
that
many
times
hir
hart
did
faile
hi●…
but
by
reason
of
hir
shamefastnes
(
for
that
all
people
ver●…
much
beheld
hir
great
beautie
)
she
did
couer
&
hide
a
〈◊〉
part
of
hir
sorrow
.
At
this
time
because
the
knights
of
〈◊〉
had
ouerthrowen
so
many
in
the
field
,
ther
was
not
knight
in
all
the
court
séene
to
proue
their
aduentures
,
of
the
which
Don
Siluerio
with
great
pleasure
said
vnto
the
king
:
I
beleeue
that
for
the
knights
of
England
this
day
,
the
knights
of
Lusitania
cannot
loose
their
custome
,
to
haue
the
better
in
feats
of
armes
.
At
which
words
of
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
ther
were
diuers
knights
in
company
with
the
king
that
receiued
great
griefe
,
especially
two
ancient
knights
,
kinsmen
vnto
the
king
Oliuerio
,
who
in
their
time
were
valiaunt
knights
,
&
because
age
would
not
agrée
that
they
should
put
on
armour
,
they
were
like
to
burst
with
anger
,
in
séeing
how
the
knights
of
Lusitania
would
disgrace
the
knights
of
England
.
Then
vpon
a
sodaine
ther
were
amongst
the
country-men
of
the
country
a
great
rumor
,
which
seemed
to
bée
of
some
sodaine
ioy
,
&
looking
what
it
should
be
,
they
saw
entering
on
the
one
side
of
the
great
place
a
knight
of
a
very
big
stature
,
&
armed
with
rich
armour
,
&
mounted
vpon
a
great
horse
,
who
by
his
gallant
disposition
séemed
they
knew
to
be
Brandamarte
,
the
best
knight
which
at
that
time
was
in
all
the
court
,
he
was
borne
in
England
,
a
yong
man
&
verye
valiant
,
&
since
the
small
time
that
he
was
an
armed
knight
,
by
his
mightie
prowesse
he
hath
got
very
much
honour
.
And
all
those
of
the
country
had
great
hope
in
him
that
he
wold
defend
the
honour
of
his
Country
against
those
knights
of
Lusitania
.
The
King
likewise
was
very
desirous
that
his
Knights
might
not
receyue
any
reproch
.
When
Brandamarte
came
vnto
the
Tents
,
he
touched
one
of
the
shields
with
his
speare
,
and
straight
waies
the
owner
therof
came
forth
,
mounted
vpon
a
mightie
horse
,
and
comming
vnto
the
iust
,
(
because
the
knight
of
Lusitania
was
very
valiaunt
)
yet
Brandamarte
was
much
more
,
and
ouerthrew
the
other
vnto
the
ground
,
and
without
any
farther
delay
hée
touched
other
sixe
sheeldes
,
and
at
the
first
encounters
he
ouerthrew
the
owners
of
them
to
the
ground
,
which
gave
great
contentment
vnto
the
king
Oliuerio
,
and
vnto
all
those
of
the
Country
,
for
that
hee
defended
so
valianutlie
the
honour
of
their
country
:
But
their
ioy
endured
not
long
,
for
that
after
that
Brandamarte
had
touched
the
shield
of
Bramides
of
Lusitania
,
with
his
speare
,
he
came
straight
wayes
foorth
,
&
for
that
they
were
both
of
them
very
good
&
valiant
knights
,
they
made
their
encounter
very
strongly
,
in
such
sort
,
that
Bramides
of
Lusitania
,
lost
his
stirrups
and
passed
his
course
forwardes
on
,
without
receiuing
any
other
harme
.
And
Brandamarte
,
with
his
horse
,
(
who
was
somewhat
weary
)
was
constrained
of
very
●…orce
to
fall
vnto
the
ground
,
at
which
fall
ther
was
few
in
all
that
great
place
,
but
was
very
sorie
:
&
the
wore
,
for
that
after
that
he
was
euerthrowen
for
the
space
of
a
good
houre
,
there
was
not
one
Knight
that
durst
enter
into
the
great
court
.
And
the
knights
of
Lusitania
with
great
prid
,
was
aduansing
&
praising
themselues
.
But
in
especiall
,
Bramides
,
who
with
a
loude
voice
,
that
all
the
people
might
heare
him
,
he
said
:
Come
foorth
,
come
foorth
,
you
knights
of
England
,
that
you
may
vnderstand
and
know
,
how
valiant
&
of
great
strength
,
the
knights
of
Lusitania
,
are
.
Then
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
,
who
was
in
his
tent
,
hard
by
the
place
wheras
the
king
was
,
with
great
pride
&
contentment
that
he
had
of
the
honour
,
which
his
knights
had
got
,
he
said
vnto
the
king
.
Now
mightie
king
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
not
without
great
cause
the
knights
of
Lusitania
,
are
estéemed
for
the
best
knightes
in
all
the
world
,
for
that
in
any
place
whersoeuer
they
beecome
,
they
neuer
loose
,
but
alwaies
get
honor
.
And
I
doo
beléeue
&
haue
it
for
a
certainty
,
that
with
these
first
thousand
knights
,
that
I
haue
heere
with
mee
,
of
Lusitania
,
that
I
am
not
able
alone
to
make
war
against
the
emperour
Trebatio
,
but
also
to
conquer
the
most
part
of
all
the
world
.
At
these
wordes
of
the
prince
vnto
the
king
,
not
one
which
was
with
him
receiued
any
contentment
.
But
in
especial
those
two
ancient
knights
,
the
one
of
them
was
called
Adriano
,
who
could
not
suffer
to
heare
the
great
reproch
,
but
with
very
anger
,
he
said
:
My
Lord
&
prince
,
of
truth
I
may
speake
it
,
that
the
bountie
&
force
of
all
the
world
,
doth
not
consist
in
the
knights
of
Lusitania
,
for
that
I
haue
seene
in
this
country
such
,
that
if
they
were
héere
now
at
this
present
,
that
all
your
knights
would
get
by
them
but
litle
honor
.
Then
the
prince
said
,
I
would
that
god
were
so
pleased
,
that
those
knights
were
héere
now
at
this
time
,
for
that
I
&
my
knights
would
very
quickly
bring
you
out
of
this
doubt
.
So
at
this
time
,
some
of
the
knights
of
Lusitania
,
were
very
ioyfull
for
the
honour
&
victory
which
they
had
receiued
,
&
other
some
as
sad
&
sorrowfull
,
for
the
reproch
&
shame
happened
vnto
them
,
by
the
knights
of
the
country
,
at
which
time
vpon
a
sodaine
&
vnlooked
for
,
they
saw
two
knights
which
entred
into
that
mightie
place
,
of
so
gallant
&
gentle
disposition
,
&
well
armed
,
as
euer
they
saw
in
all
their
liues
,
of
the
which
,
one
of
them
vpon
his
mightie
horse
did
put
himselfe
right
ouer
against
the
great
pallas
,
&
the
other
went
vnto
the
tents
of
the
knights
of
Lusitania
,
and
touched
one
of
the
knights
shields
with
his
speare
,
and
straight
way
the
owner
therof
came
foorth
.
And
this
strange
&
venterous
knight
,
made
his
encounter
with
so
great
strength
,
that
in
the
middest
of
that
great
place
,
hee
ouerthrew
him
from
his
horse
to
the
ground
,
his
heeles
vpwards
,
&
so
far
from
himself
as
though
he
had
ben
dead
.
Then
straight
waies
came
forth
an
other
,
who
with
great
lightnes
he
shoued
him
out
of
the
saddle
,
so
that
he
was
taken
in
mens
armes
&
caried
him
into
the
tent
,
for
that
all
the
bones
of
his
body
were
shaken
&
brused
,
with
that
strongs
encounter
.
And
without
any
long
tarying
,
hee
ouerthrew
other
ten
knights
of
them
,
entreting
them
in
such
sort
,
that
not
one
of
them
all
could
arise
from
the
ground
,
of
himselfe
,
but
that
they
were
caried
in
other
mens
armes
,
into
their
tents
.
At
the
which
the
king
Oliuerio
,
&
all
that
were
there
present
,
were
greatly
amazed
,
and
could
not
learne
by
any
meanes
to
know
who
those
two
valiant
knights
should
bée
.
Then
all
th●…se
of
England
receiued
great
ioy
and
contentment
,
for
that
they
saw
that
the
knights
of
Lusitania
,
there
pride
and
ioy
did
abate
.
And
Adriano
said
vnto
the
king
,
I
beléeue
that
the
Prince
Don
Siluerio
is
not
,
well
pleased
with
this
knight
.
Let
him
alone
said
the
king
,
for
I
haue
a
good
hope
that
his
knights
will
cary
away
but
litle
honour
of
that
which
is
past
.
Then
Bramides
of
Lusitania
came
foorth
mounted
vpon
a
myghtye
great
horse
,
&
with
a
big
speare
in
his
hand
he
gaue
a
turne
about
the
place
,
shewing
great
prid
,
&
thinking
certainly
that
at
the
first
encounter
he
would
ouerthrow
the
valiant
knight
,
but
it
fell
not
out
according
vnto
his
expectation
,
for
that
they
made
their
incounter
with
such
force
that
Bramides
vpon
the
shéeld
of
the
strange
knight
shéeuered
his
speare
all
to
shéeuers
,
but
the
knight
made
no
shew
of
moouing
in
his
saddle
,
but
he
made
his
encounter
so
strongly
against
Bramides
,
that
heauing
him
right
out
of
his
sadle
,
he
caried
him
a
good
way
off
from
his
horse
,
with
his
head
to
the
ground
and
his
héeles
vpwards
,
&
was
so
astonied
with
that
terrible
blow
,
that
hée
could
not
arise
from
the
ground
,
till
such
time
as
some
of
his
companions
tooke
him
vp
,
&
caried
him
into
their
tent
.
Oh
how
great
was
the
griefe
that
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
conceiued
when
he
saw
his
knights
receiue
so
great
reproch
,
&
the
knights
of
England
with
so
great
ioy
&
pleasure
,
because
they
saw
that
strange
knight
defend
their
honors
so
valiantly
.
The
king
and
the
two
ancient
knights
that
were
with
him
,
desired
very
much
to
know
who
that
knight
should
be
,
and
likewise
his
companion
,
who
as
it
séemed
vnto
them
,
was
as
one
amazed
,
beholding
that
mightie
pallace
,
&
in
his
semblance
&
proportion
seemed
to
be
no
lesse
valiant
than
his
companion
,
as
it
was
of
truth
,
for
that
it
was
that
valiant
Rosicleer
,
who
had
not
so
much
gouernment
of
himselfe
for
to
saffer
,
but
néedes
he
must
come
foorth
into
that
great
place
with
the
king
Sacridoro
,
for
to
behold
that
day
the
princesse
Oliuia
,
but
that
he
saw
the
princes
in
hir
royall
estate
,
shewing
foorth
hir
soueraigne
countenance
with
so
singuler
beauty
,
he
was
as
one
astonied
&
amazed
,
not
knowing
whether
he
were
in
Heauen
or
on
Earth
,
and
the
great
glory
th●…
which
he
felt
within
himselfe
when
that
he
had
before
him
that
precious
sight
so
long
of
him
desired
,
that
forgetting
himselfe
hée
remained
in
one
place
without
any
power
for
to
mooue
himselfe
,
but
as
one
depriued
of
his
wits
.
And
the
other
was
that
stout
&
strong
king
Sacridoro
,
who
seeing
the
great
mischance
of
his
companion
,
would
make
some
shew
of
his
great
bountie
,
and
by
reason
that
he
was
of
so
great
bountie
,
in
lesse
then
one
houre
he
ouerthrew
vnto
the
ground
all
those
fiftie
knights
,
all
very
euill
intreated
,
&
ill
beestead
with
the
force
of
the
mighty
fals
which
they
had
receiued
,
&
the
great
pleasure
the
which
Adriano
receiued
héereat
was
such
,
that
he
could
not
let
but
say
vnto
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
,
how
doo
you
like
this
my
lord
,
now
you
may
well
see
that
the
bountie
of
all
the
world
doth
not
consist
onelye
in
the
knights
of
Lusitania
:
By
God
I
doo
sweare
,
that
according
vnto
the
vsing
which
these
knights
haue
receiued
,
the
emperor
Trebatio
shall
bée
in
great
securitye
of
them
for
anye
harme
he
shall
receiue
at
their
hands
.
The
prince
was
so
full
of
sorow
,
&
so
angry
for
that
which
hapned
vnto
his
knights
,
that
without
making
any
answer
vnto
Adriano
,
with
great
fury
he
mounted
vpon
his
great
horse
,
&
tooke
a
speare
in
his
hand
,
&
put
himselfe
ready
at
a
point
for
to
reuenge
the
in●…urie
done
vnto
his
knights
.
At
whith
time
the
valiant
Zoylo
,
for
that
he
was
a
great
friend
vnto
the
prince
,
fearing
that
ther
should
happen
some
reproch
vnto
him
,
saide
vnto
the
king
:
Truely
my
lord
,
if
it
please
your
highnes
,
I
would
very
much
that
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
might
excuse
the
iusting
at
this
time
with
that
straunge
&
ventrous
knight
,
for
that
he
hath
gotten
this
day
very
much
honour
,
&
I
would
not
that
now
he
should
loose
it
againe
▪
Surely
said
the
king
Oliuerio
,
I
should
be
very
sorrowfull
,
and
I
would
that
all
might
well
be
excused
,
and
they
seperated
if
there
were
any
good
meane
for
the
same
.
I
will
goe
and
part
them
sayd
the
●…artarian
Zoylo
.
And
therwith
he
arose
vp
from
the
place
wher
he
sate
by
the
king
,
&
descended
downe
the
court
,
&
mounting
vpon
a
horse
very
gallantly
&
richly
trapped
,
which
was
brought
vnto
him
,
he
went
vnto
the
king
Sacridoro
,
and
said
.
Sir
knight
,
by
the
way
of
curtesie
I
doo
hartely
desire
you
that
this
day
you
would
cease
your
high
&
valiant
deedes
,
for
you
haue
done
inough
to
giue
testimonie
of
great
bounty
,
&
at
this
time
to
depart
,
for
that
the
king
Oliuerio
shall
receiue
great
contentment
&
courtesie
in
so
doing
.
Then
the
king
Sacridoro
,
who
knew
him
very
well
,
since
the
time
that
he
saw
him
at
the
fountaine
of
the
sauages
,
&
hauing
great
desire
to
shew
him
plesure
,
answered
him
&
said
:
Sir
knight
not
onely
in
this
,
but
in
all
other
things
whatsoeuer
your
pleasure
is
to
commaund
mée
,
with
all
my
hart
&
power
I
will
doo
it
to
doo
you
pleasure
.
So
after
that
the
valiaunt
Zoylo
dad
gratified
him
with
great
thanks
for
his
curtesie
,
the
king
Sacridoro
departed
&
went
vnto
the
place
wheras
Rosicleer
was
as
one
amazed
&
astonied
,
beholding
the
great
beauty
of
the
princes
Oliuia
,
&
shaking
him
by
the
hand
,
hée
said
:
Come
let
vs
now
depart
from
heuce
,
for
we
haue
taried
héere
very
long
.
Then
Rosicleer
comming
to
himselfe
,
as
one
which
did
awake
out
of
a
dead
sléepe
,
set
spurs
to
his
light
horse
,
and
went
with
the
king
Sacridoro
&
put
themselues
in
a
by
way
out
of
that
great
place
,
in
such
sort
,
that
in
a
short
space
they
were
out
of
sight
,
and
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
ramained
very
furious
and
full
of
anger
,
for
that
the
knight
was
departed
from
thence
before
hée
did
first
take
reuengement
for
the
iniurie
done
vnto
his
Knightes
,
and
for
that
it
wax●…d
late
,
&
againe
there
were
no
knights
left
for
to
iust
,
there
béegan
straight
waies
a
great
noise
of
sounding
of
Triumpets
,
and
other
instrumentes
of
musick
,
which
was
done
in
such
sort
,
that
all
the
whole
Citie
dyd
ring
thereof
,
and
héere
with
the
iusts
were
made
an
end
,
the
Tents
taken
out
of
that
great
place
,
and
the
Prince
Don
Siluerio
,
with
great
honour
,
accompanied
with
many
Princes
and
knights
,
was
brought
vnto
the
mightie
pallace
,
wheras
hée
was
very
well
receiued
by
the
king
,
●…
was
carried
into
a
Chamber
which
was
on
the
one
side
of
the
great
hall
,
wheras
he
was
vnarmed
.
The
Princesse
Oliuia
beefore
this
time
knew
Rosicleer
,
for
Fidelia
when
shee
saw
him
aduertised
hir
,
wherat
shee
receiued
great
contentment
,
&
dyd
esteeme
all
hir
trauailes
&
sorrows
which
shee
had
receiued
well
bestowed
,
although
when
she
remembred
the
great
hurly burly
that
shuld
bée
that
night
,
hir
hart
was
very
much
out
of
quyet
,
and
full
of
anguish
,
and
could
not
by
any
meanes
bée
merry
,
but
with
great
sighs
and
bitter
teares
she
desired
God
to
deliuer
hir
well
out
of
all
those
daungers
.
How
that
at
such
time
as
the
King
Oliuerio
and
the
mightie
Princes
and
knights
of
the
Court
were
ioyned
together
,
that
the
Princesse
Oliuia
and
the
Prince
Don
Siluerio
should
take
handes
,
Rosicleer
and
the
King
Sacridoro
entered
into
the
mightie
pallace
,
and
what
happened
therin
.
Chapter
.
60.
AFter
that
Rosicleer
and
the
King
Sacridoro
were
departed
out
of
the
place
whereas
the
iusts
were
made
,
they
both
put
themselues
into
a
Forrest
which
ioyned
nigh
vnto
the
Citie
,
whereas
they
remayned
till
the
night
was
come
,
béeing
fully
determyned
what
they
should
doo
,
for
that
they
had
left
their
ship
at
the
coast
,
all
in
a
redinesse
&
very
wel
appointed
,
&
considering
in
what
great
peril
&
danger
they
did
put
themselues
,
they
praied
vnto
god
with
all
their
harts
for
to
deliuer
them
well
out
of
that
great
reproch
,
&
hauing
a
very
good
hope
that
god
wold
aide
&
succour
them
,
for
that
which
they
went
about
was
in
a
iust
&
right
cause
,
for
to
set
frée
the
great
wrong
&
harme
done
vnto
the
Princesse
.
The
day
béeing
past
and
the
night
come
,
they
issued
out
of
the
forrest
,
and
entered
into
the
citie
,
&
for
that
ther
were
so
many
knights
,
as
well
strangers
as
Countrie
men
,
they
could
not
be
perceiued
,
for
the
stréets
were
full
of
them
,
&
likewise
the
night
being
darke
,
theyr
armour
could
not
be
discouered
,
neither
was
ther
any
account
made
therof
,
for
that
it
was
a
time
void
of
suspition
,
so
they
drew
nigh
vnto
the
pallace
,
at
such
time
as
the
Princesse
Oliuia
&
the
Prince
Don
Siluerio
should
ioyne
hands
together
,
vowing
matrimonie
,
the
pallace
being
cléere
&
light
with
the
great
number
of
torches
and
candles
that
were
ther
lighted
,
that
it
seemed
to
bée
mid
day
,
and
there
were
so
great
a
number
of
people
,
that
they
could
scarce
mooue
by
one
another
.
All
this
time
went
Fidelia
very
diligently
vp
and
downe
the
pallace
,
and
when
shée
saw
the
houre
draw
néere
that
theyr
pretence
should
be
put
in
execution
,
she
went
out
of
the
pallace
,
and
taking
with
hir
a
bundle
of
things
necessarie
for
the
princesse
,
she
went
towards
the
sea
side
,
and
put
hir selfe
in
the
ship
,
abiding
the
time
to
sée
what
fortune
would
doo
for
hir
Lady
and
mistres
,
and
for
those
worthy
and
valiant
Knights
,
and
was
in
so
great
feare
,
that
for
any
thing
shée
would
not
bée
put
in
the
like
againe
.
All
this
time
was
the
Princesse
Oliuia
so
full
of
anguish
and
alteration
,
that
shée
knew
not
whether
shée
were
aliue
or
dead
,
and
béeing
in
a
quadran
nigh
vnto
the
great
hall
,
accompanied
with
all
hir
Ladies
&
damsels
,
readie
to
bée
taken
foorth
to
ioyne
hands
with
the
Prince
,
shée
many
times
fell
in
a
sound
,
and
béeing
very
much
comforted
by
the
Princesses
Rodasilua
&
Siluerina
,
yet
all
that
euer
they
could
doo
did
profit
very
little
,
neyther
could
shée
recouer
any
force
nor
receiue
any
comfort
,
for
that
the
houre
was
come
that
she
shuld
passe
that
great
affliction
,
and
in
remembraunce
thereof
shée
thought
verily
that
hir
hart
would
haue
leapt
out
of
hir
dody
.
At
this
present
time
Rosicleer
and
the
King
Sacridoro
,
came
vnto
the
pallace
,
and
by
a
false
doore
which
Rosicleer
knew
very
well
,
they
entered
into
a
chamber
wheras
the
princesse
was
,
leauing
their
Horses
with
a
Page
of
the
kings
,
who
put
them
vnder
a
portall
where
they
could
not
bee
séene
of
the
people
,
so
they
went
vp
a
narrow
payre
of
stayres
till
they
came
into
the
great
hall
,
whereas
they
found
the
King
Oliuerio
,
with
all
those
mighty
Princes
and
knights
,
in
a
fayre
Quadran
,
in
company
with
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
,
abiding
the
comming
of
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
to
take
hir
to
his
spouse
.
Lykewise
on
the
other
side
of
the
hall
in
another
Quadran
was
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
accompanied
with
all
hir
Ladies
and
Damsels
,
and
with
the
Princesse
Rodasilua
and
Siluerina
,
who
had
hir
in
the
midst
beetwixt
them
,
and
when
they
would
haue
gone
whereas
the
King
was
,
the
Princesse
Oliuia
could
not
step
one
foot
forwards
,
but
fell
in
a
sound
in
the
armes
of
the
other
Princesses
.
Then
when
these
two
valiant
knights
saw
it
was
time
,
they
entered
both
together
into
the
quadran
,
and
the
king
Sacridoro
carryed
his
Swoord
drawen
in
his
hand
,
and
his
shéeld
on
his
arme
,
the
which
put
a
great
teare
amongst
all
the
Ladyes
and
Damsels
,
and
Rosicleer
went
straight
vnto
the
Princesse
Oliuia
his
Lady
,
and
tooke
hir
in
his
armes
,
lifting
hir
from
the
ground
,
all
which
time
shée
was
in
a
sound
,
and
by
reason
at
theyr
entering
in
,
all
those
Ladyes
and
damsells
gaue
great
shrikes
and
out
cryes
,
there
came
presently
to
that
place
many
Knights
,
and
béeing
without
armour
they
drew
out
theyr
Swoords
,
and
doubled
theyr
cloakes
about
theyr
armes
,
and
went
to
rescue
and
take
away
the
Princesse
from
Rosicleer
,
who
carried
hir
in
his
armes
,
but
for
that
the
good
King
Sacridoro
was
at
hand
in
a
redinesse
,
with
foure
blows
which
hée
gaue
,
hée
ouerthrew
foure
Knights
dead
to
the
ground
,
of
them
that
first
approched
wher
they
were
,
the
which
did
put
so
great
feare
in
all
the
rest
,
that
they
durst
not
come
nigh
him
,
so
that
Rosicleer
had
roome
to
come
vnto
the
narrow
stayres
,
which
descended
downe
to
the
false
doore
.
Then
the
King
Sacridoro
put
himselfe
in
the
face
of
all
the
people
,
and
dyd
so
much
,
that
Rosicleer
came
vnto
the
place
whereas
his
horse
was
,
and
findeing
none
for
to
disturbe
him
,
hée
mounted
forthwith
vpon
his
Horse
,
and
tooke
the
Princesse
in
his
armes
beefore
him
,
and
hée
had
the
Page
to
tarrie
for
his
Lord
,
and
setting
spurres
vnto
his
good
horse
Rodarte
(
which
hée
had
of
the
Gyant
Mandroco
,
and
one
of
the
strongest
and
lightest
that
was
in
all
the
world
)
within
a
short
time
hée
found
himselfe
out
of
the
Citie
,
and
with
so
great
iury
,
that
it
séemed
a
Thunder-bolt
or
whirle
winde
,
hée
tooke
his
course
throughout
those
fields
with
so
great
swiftnesse
,
that
the
grasse
whereon
his
horse
trode
,
séemed
as
though
it
mooued
not
.
This
valyaunt
Rosicleer
trauayled
with
so
great
ioy
and
contentment
for
that
rich
pray
which
hée
carryed
,
that
hée
could
scarce
béeléeue
hee
had
so
great
a
Iewell
with
him
.
At
which
time
the
Princesse
Oliuia
was
in
a
sound
,
without
any
sence
of
knowledge
who
carryed
hir
away
,
and
by
reason
of
the
great
care
of
the
people
,
in
the
which
the
king
Sacridoro
remayned
,
troubled
so
much
Rosicleer
,
that
it
was
the
occasion
hée
forced
his
Horse
with
so
great
spéed
,
that
in
a
short
time
hée
came
vnto
the
sea
coast
,
and
strayght
wayes
hée
entered
into
a
Shippe
,
and
layde
the
Princesse
vppon
a
bed
,
and
kissed
hir
,
and
left
hir
in
the
companie
of
Fidelia
hir
damsell
,
and
hée
went
a
shoare
and
mounted
vpon
his
horse
,
and
with
as
great
spéede
hée
returned
back
agayne
,
to
séeke
out
his
perfect
friend
the
King
Sacridoro
,
who
in
all
this
time
had
done
meruaylous
déedes
,
but
by
reason
that
the
King
and
all
the
other
Princes
and
Knights
that
were
in
the
Quadran
,
at
the
great
shrikes
and
outcries
of
the
damsels
were
come
thether
,
they
had
so
compassed
him
round
about
,
that
hée
could
not
mooue
himselfe
neyther
on
the
one
part
nor
on
the
other
,
but
for
that
they
were
all
vnarmed
,
hée
quickly
made
such
a
slaughter
amongs
them
,
that
the
rest
durst
not
come
night
him
,
so
that
hée
had
tyme
to
descend
the
stayres
,
and
comming
vnder
the
porch
,
wheaeas
his
Page
was
with
his
horse
,
although
that
a
great
number
descended
the
stayres
after
him
,
yet
in
spight
of
them
all
hée
mounted
vppon
his
Horse
,
and
by
reason
that
the
number
was
great
,
béeing
on
Horsebacke
hée
slew
many
of
them
,
then
the
page
mounted
vppon
his
Horse
,
and
broching
them
furyous●…ie
with
theyr
Spurres
,
of
pure
force
they
went
out
of
the
Pallace
.
In
the
meane
time
the
Prince
Don
Siluerio
séeing
what
had
happened
,
was
the
most
furious
&
angriest
Knight
in
the
world
,
and
entered
into
his
chamber
,
and
armed
himselfe
with
hie
▪
rich
and
glistering
armour
,
and
the
like
did
many
other
Princes
and
knights
,
as
well
those
which
were
borne
in
England
,
as
of
those
which
hée
brought
with
him
out
of
Lusitania
,
and
béeing
armed
hée
came
vnto
the
place
whereas
hee
left
the
king
,
and
when
hee
saw
that
they
were
gone
,
in
great
bast
they
calied
for
their
horses
,
and
mounting
on
them
they
follow
their
enimies
with
so
great
fury
,
that
many
of
theyr
horses
burst
in
their
running
,
and
in
pursuing
of
them
they
met
with
many
that
tolde
them
newes
of
the
King
Sacridoro
,
and
they
forced
so
much
their
horses
in
following
after
them
,
that
the
Prince
Don
Siluerio
●…uertooke
the
King
Sacridoro
a
myle
out
of
the
Citie
,
who
when
hée
saw
him
come
alone
,
dyd
abide
his
comming
,
and
when
hée
came
vnto
him
,
with
an
outragious
fury
hée
stroke
the
King
such
a
blow
vpon
his
helme
that
hée
made
him
to
decling
his
head
downe
to
the
brest
,
but
the
King
returned
such
another
vnpon
his
helme
,
that
hée
had
ouerthrowen
him
to
the
ground
if
hée
had
not
embraced
himselfe
about
his
horse
necke
,
but
the
Prince
receiued
so
great
griefe
for
the
carrying
away
of
the
Princesse
,
that
hee
feared
not
the
perill
of
the
battell
,
but
with
great
fury
and
courage
hée
béeganne
to
strike
at
the
King
,
charging
him
with
very
furious
and
terrible
blowes
,
but
all
that
dyd
profit
him
very
little
,
for
that
the
king
was
a
great
deale
more
stronger
then
hée
was
,
so
that
it
could
not
haue
fallen
out
well
with
him
,
if
the
battayle
had
endured
long
,
but
at
this
time
there
were
ioyned
toge●…her
with
him
more
then
one
hundreth
Knights
,
the
which
●…yd
compasse
the
good
and
valyaunt
King
round
about
,
and
●…harged
him
with
very
great
and
thicke
blowes
,
but
hée
who
was
very
valyaunt
and
couragious
,
dyd
verie
little
●…stéeme
his
life
(
for
that
it
was
in
the
quarrell
,
and
his
du●…ie
which
hée
did
owne
vnto
his
perfect
friend
Rosicleer
)
and
〈◊〉
such
sort
hée
dyd
animate
himselfe
,
that
in
a
small
time
●…ée
had
slayne
more
then
twentie
knights
,
and
if
there
had
not
béene
so
many
of
them
,
hée
would
by
the
help
of
almightie
God
,
and
his
great
strength
,
quickly
haue
cléered
himself
of
them
,
but
by
reason
that
there
were
so
many
,
and
more
and
more
they
encreased
,
that
hée
found
himselfe
in
great
perill
,
and
at
the
point
to
be
slayne
.
But
at
this
time
that
valyaunt
Rosicleer
,
who
séemed
to
come
lyke
vnto
a
whirle
winde
vppon
his
great
and
swift
Horse
,
when
that
hée
came
vnto
the
place
whereas
they
made
that
cruell
and
perillous
battell
,
and
séeing
in
what
great
danger
and
perill
they
had
brought
his
friend
,
hée
strayght
way
put
himselfe
amongst
the
thickest
of
them
,
lyke
vnto
a
rauishing
Lyon
,
some
hée
cloue
their
heads
a
sunder
,
and
some
hée
cut
of
theyr
armes
,
and
other
some
hée
cut
a
sunder
by
the
wast
,
and
did
so
héehaue
himselfe
amongst
them
,
that
in
a
small
time
,
hée
had
ouerthrowen
the
halfe
of
them
dead
to
the
ground
.
Then
when
the
king
Sacridoro
,
knew
the
great
aide
and
succour
which
hée
had
,
with
a
new
fore
hée
charged
so
his
enimies
,
that
béetwixt
them
both
they
dyd
so
much
,
that
there
was
not
a
knight
in
all
the
field
that
durst
abide
them
,
but
onely
the
Prince
Don
Siluerio
,
who
béeing
wounded
with
mortall●…sorrow
&
griefe
,
for
the
carrying
away
of
the
Princesse
Oliuia
,
with
more
courage
then
strength
or
force
,
hée
dyd
combat
with
both
of
them
,
charging
them
with
very
great
and
heauie
blowes
.
Then
Rosicleer
,
who
séeing
that
that
one
Knight
dyd
disturbe
them
of
theyr
iourney
,
without
knowing
him
,
hée
stroke
him
so
terrible
a
blow
vpon
his
sine
healme
,
that
all
amazed
and
astonied
from
himselfe
,
hée
fell
from
his
horse
to
the
ground
.
That
béeing
done
,
these
two
good
and
perfect
friends
would
not
make
any
long
staying
,
but
set
Spurs
vnto
theyr
surions
horses
,
and
ran
wit●…
so
great

that
there
was
none
that

them
,
till
such
time
as
they
came
vnto
the

.
Now
a●…
this
time
,
came
the
king
Oliuerio
,
out
of

citie
,
with

tenne

owne
Countrie
,
and
followed
the
pursute
of
their
enimies
And
when
they
came
vnto
the
place
where-as
the
battall
was
fought
,
they
were
greatly
amazed
to
sée
that
grea●…
slaughter
and
e●…usion
of
blood
,
and
could
not
béeléeue
that
any
humane
Knight
should
haue
so
much
force
and
strength
for
to
make
so
great
slaughter
as
there
was
done
,
and
helping
vp
the
Prince
Don
Siluerio
from
the
ground
,
who
lay
a
long
vpon
the
earth
as
though
hee
had
béene
dead
,
without
moouing
of
hand
nor
foote
,
they
all
together
in
an
ambushment
followed
the
pursuite
of
their
enimies
,
those
two
Knights
,
but
for
all
the
great
hast
which
they
made
in
their
running
,
at
such
time
as
they
came
vnto
the
Sea
si●…e
,
they
were
all
entered
into
theyr
ship
,
and
the
Greeke
master
of
the
same
beeing
all
in
a
readynesse
,
brought
whom
his
ankers
,
and
hoysed
foorth
his
sayles
,
and
beegan
to
nauigate
vppon
the
calme
waters
of
the
Ocean
sea
,
for
that
at
that
present
they
found
fortune
and
winde
fauourable
vnto
them
,
there
was
no
glory
in
all
the
world
that
might
bée
compared
vnto
this
of
the
perfect
louer
Rosicleer
,
when
hee
saw
so
much
at
his
ease
and
will
,
and
in
his
power
,
hir
for
whom
hée
had
passed
so
great
sorrow
and
griefe
.
Then
when
the
Princesse
Oliuia
was
come
agayne
vnto
hir selfe
,
shée
tooke
him
in
hir
armes
&
kissed
him
very
often
,
vttering
woords
of
perfect
loue
,
&
although
as
yet
shée
was
not
cleane
voyde
of
the
alteration
in
the
which
shée
was
brought
,
yet
finding
hir selfe
in
the
armes
of
him
whom
shée
so
much
loued
,
shée
receiued
great
pleasure
&
contentment
,
and
much
more
,
to
sée
hir selfe
frée
from
that
great
force
,
which
the
king
hir
father
agaynst
all
reason
and
iustice
would
haue
constrained
agaynst
hir
will
to
marrie
with
the
Prince
Don
Siluerio
,
and
agayne
,
calling
to
remembraunce
what
great
sorrow
and
griefe
which
the
absence
of
Rosicleer
dyd
cause
hir
to
●…ustayne
,
shée
therewith
receiued
so
great
contentment
and
●…lorie
to
sée
him
in
hir
presence
,
that
shee
thought
hir

to

from

,
comforting
and
●…eioycing
hir selfe
with
the
presence
of
him
that
shee
so
long
●…ooked
for
.
Then
when
the
king
Oliuerio
and
the
Prince
Don
Sil●…erio
,
and
the
other
Princes
and
knights
that
came
with
●…hem
,
when
they
approched
vnto
the
water
side
,
and
saw
that
the
ship
was
departed
,
and
perfectly
informed
how
that
the
knights
and
the
princesse
were
therin
,
they
receiued
so
great
sorrow
&
griefe
,
that
the
king
was
at
the
point
of
death
,
and
the
Prince
if
they
had
not
held
him
,
would
haue
leaped
into
the
sea
,
and
for
that
they
could
not
vnderstand
nor
know
in
whose
power
the
Princesse
was
carried
away
,
their
payne
and
griefe
was
the
greater
,
and
in
great
hast
they
caused
a
great
company
of
ships
to
bée
made
in
a
readinesse
to
follow
them
,
&
beeing
all
in
very
good
order
,
there
entered
into
them
many
knights
,
as
well
those
of
Lusitania
,
as
knights
of
England
,
and
being
in
this
preparation
,
ther
was
a
marriner
of
another
ship
which
came
vnto
the
king
and
said
:
Mightie
Prince
,

Damsell
which
was
in

that

departed
,
gaue
mée
this
Letter
to
giue
vnto
your
highnesse
,
if
that
by
fortune
you
should
come
hether
.
Then
the
king
béeing
very
much
amazed
,
not
knowing
who
it
should
bée
that
left
that
letter
,
hée
tooke
it
&
opened
it
,
and
saw
that
it
was

read
the

as

for

Thou

of

:
Béehold

princesse
Oliuia
had
ordained
to
kill
hir selfe
,
the
same
nyght
that
they
should
haue
ben
made
sure
together
,
but
the
diuine
prouidence
did
so
ordaine
&
prouide
,
that
the
greeke
Prince
Rosicleer
,
thy
very
friend
(
who
being
wounded
with
the
loue
of
the
princes
thy
daughter
)
should
come
&
set
at
liberty
this
great
outrage
of
forcing
,
&
to
take
hir
out
of
thy
power
,
&
to
cary
hir
vnto
the
soueraigne
empire
of
his

whereas
with
great
maiesty
conformable
vnto
hir
highnes
,

their
mariage
be
celebrated
:
therfore
they
&
I
doo
desire
thee
for
that
thy
honor
&
the
honor
of

shall
be
by
this
change
greatly
augmented
,
that
thou
wouldst
conceiue
well
〈◊〉
,
&
to
haue
patience
,
for
that
it
can
be
no
otherwise
,
alwaies
obeying
as
our
duty
is

the

prouidence
.
When
the
king
had
read
this
letter
,
&
well
vnderstood
the
●…ontents
therof
,
he
was
one
way
greatly
amazed
,
to
vnder●…tand
that
Rosicleer
was
aliue
,
&
another
way
his
paine
and
●…riefe
did
double
in
him
,
considering
the
two
great
iniuries
●…hat
were
done
vnto
him
by
the
father
&
the
sonne
,
&
as
one
〈◊〉
himselfe
with
the
great
sorrow
he
receiued
,
he
wept
&
〈◊〉
out
with
a
loud
voice
saying
:
Oh
fortune
&
my
great
〈◊〉
how
much
doo
you
shew
your selues
to
be
my
eni●…ie
,
that
thou
art
not
content
that
the
emperour
Trebasio
〈◊〉
my
welbeloued
son
the
Prince
Edward
,
but
that
now
〈◊〉
is
come
his
son
,
&
hath
robbed
me
of
my
daughter
,
〈◊〉
onely
heire
of
these
kingdome
:
Oh
soueraigne
creator
,
●…herefore
dooest
thou
suffer
so
great
arrogancy
in
these
〈◊〉
?
why
dost
thou
not
at
once
destroy
them
,
&
throw
〈◊〉
out
of
this
world
,
as
thou
threwest
Lusifer
out
of
heauen
:
Oh
kings
&
princes
of
the
world
,
come
&
ioyne
your
●…elues
all
together
in
my
fauour
,
&
giue
me
aide
,
for
to
take
reuengement
of
two
so
notable
iniuries
:
Behold
that
the
pride
of
Greece
doth
eueryday
increase
,
in
such
sort
,
that
in
time
they
will
be
Lords
&
gouernours
ouer
all
the
whole
world
,
&
put
you
all
from
your
mightie
kingdomes
&
high
estates
.
Likewise
the
great
lamentations
that
Don
Siluerio
made
when
he
saw
his
mariage
so
changed
,
was
such
,
that
ther
was
none
that
heard
him
but
was
moued
vnto
great
compassion
.
In
great
hast
was
made
in
a
readinesse
twelue
great
ships
,
&
diuers
other
small
ships
,
in
the
which
ther
was
imbarked
more
then
ten
thousand
knights
very
well
armed
and
likewise
with
them
did
imbarke
themselues
the
prince
Don
Siluerio
with
the
thrée
princes
,
Bargandel
,
Liriamandro
,
&
the
tartarian
Zoylo
,
&
in
great
hast
they
made
saile
that
way
which
Rosicleer
went
,
although
the
thrée
princes
had
another
determination
,
contrary
vnto
Don
Siluerios
,
for
when
they
vnrerstood
that
he
who
had
caried
away
the
Princesse
was
Rosicleer
,
they
were
as
glad
as
euer
they
were
in
all
their
liues
,
although
they
could
not
perfectly
beléeue
that
hee
should
be
aliue
.
Then
they
called
to
remembrance
all
that
had
passed
at
the
fountaine
of
the
sauages
with
them
,
and
were
fully
determined
that
if
it
were
certainly
Rosicleer
,
&
did
ouertake
him
,
that
first
they
would
consent
to
their
owne
death
rather
then
he
should
receiue
any
harme
,
for
that
they
were
all
thrée
of
them
such
friends
vnto
Rosicleer
,
that
except
it
were
the
king
Sacridoro
,
in
all
the
whole
world
hée
had
not
the
like
.
So
they
waied
their
ankers
,
&
hoist
sailes
,
&
began
to
take
their
iourney
after
the
other
ships
,
with
as
much
saile
as
euer
they
could
make
,
they
did
nauigat
through
the
great
ocean
sea
with
as
much
spéed
as
euer
they
could
,
&
the
king
Oliuerio
returned
back
againe
vnto
his
citie
&
pallace
,
very
heauy
&
sorrowfull
,
wheras
straight
waies
with
great
speed
he
began
to
gather
together
people
for
the
war●…
▪
Writing
vnto
the
mightiest
kings
in
all
christendome

desiring
them
for
to
aide
&
succour
him
with
all
the
people
that
were
possible
,
for
the
furniture
of
his

giuing
them
to
vnderstand
the
great
iniuries
which
he
had
receiued
of
the
emperour
of
Greece
,
&
his
son
,
&
how
greatly
he
was
bound

to
reuenge
himself
of

Wheras
the

of
the
knight

Chapter
.
61.
THe
history
saith
that
Oristedes
the
Troian
,
made
so
great
spéed
in
his
iourney
towards
the
gran
Cataia
,
wheras
the
emperour
Alicandro
was
,
&
after
that
he
had
passed
the
first
two
Scithias
,
in
the
end
of
fiftie
daies
he
entered
into
the
third
,
which
did
belong
vnto
the
Emperour
Alicandro
,
&
the
gran
Cataia
was
in
the
confines
of
the
third
Scithia
,
which
fallethmore
towards
the
Orient
,
vnder
the
which
was
the
mighty
emperour
of
Tartaria
,
the
great
,
&
many
other
kingdomes
,
subiect
vnto
the
emperour
Alicandro
,
wherby
he
was
estéemed
to
be
the
mightiest
lord
in
the
world
.
Besids
all
this
,
all
the
kingdomes
&
Lordships
of
the
Orient
were
subiect
to
him
.
So
when
this
good
knight
Oristedes
was
entred
into
the
third
Scithia
,
within
one
moonth
after
be
entred
into
the
gran
Cataia
,
wher
hée
vnderstood
that
the
emperour
was
in
●…
citie
called
Neptaia
,
which
had
aboue
an
hundreth
&
fiftie
thousand
householdes
within
the
wals
,
&
when
he
came
vnto
the
said
citie
,
he
went
vnto
the
pallaice
,
&
entring
in
therat
,
he
found
the
Emperour
in
the
great
hall
,
accompanied
with
many
kings
and
Lords
that
were
his
subiects
.
And
entring
in
therat
he
pulled
of
his
helme
,
&
went
&
knéeled
downe
before
that
mightye
Emperour
,
for
to
kisse
his
hands
:
but
he
who
knew
him
very
well
,
&
very
glad
for
to
see
him
ther
,
made
him
to
arise
vp
on
his
feet
againe
&
did
embrace
him
saying
,
Oristedes
,
my
very
good
friend
,
thy
absence
hath
not
caused
vnto
me
so
much
sorow
&
grie●…e
,
as
now
t●…y
comming
doth
cause
me
to
be
glad
and
ioyfull
.
Then
Oristedes
said
,
my
good
lord
&
emperour
you
shall
receiue
much
more
contentment
,
when
that
you
dooe
vnderstand
the
newes
that
I
dooe
bring
vnto
you
,
for
that
you
shall
vnderstand
that
the
princes
Lindabrides
,
your
daughter
is
comming
,
&
very
nigh
vnto
this
country
:
&
doth
bring
in
hir
company
a
knight
,
the
most
valiant
est
that
euer
the
gods
did
create
in
all
the
world
,
and
hauing
the
prince
Meridian
,
your
son
,
trauailed
throughout
many
countries
,
till
he
came
vnto
the
emp●…re
of
Grecia
,
&
neuer
could
find
any
one
knight
,
that
in
bounty
&
force
,
was
equall
vnto
him
.
But
this
alone
knight
,
who
did
ouercome
me
in
equall
battaile
,
&
since
hée
hath
defended
the
beauty
of
the
Princes
Lindabrides
,
with
the
best
knights
that
is
in
the
world
.
And
when
he
came
vnto
Troy
,
whereas
I
doo
dwell
,
defending
the
passage
of
the
bridge
,
kept
by
old
antiquitie
,
hauing
battaile
with
him
,
hee
ouercame
me
.
And
at
his
commandement
I
am
come
hether
,
for
to
bring
you
newes
of
their
comming
.
And
for
that
you
shall
sée
&
vnderstand
,
how
fauourably
the
gods
hath
béene
vnto
the
princes
,
in
giuing
vnto
hir
so
valiant
a
knight
,
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
if
hee
dooe
excéede
in
bounty
,
of
knighthood
,
there
is
no
lacke
in
him
of
maiestie
and
high
estate
,
for
that
hee
is
sonne
vnto
the
Emperour
of
Grecia
,
béeing
accounted
the
mightyest
Prince
,
that
is
amongest
all
the
Christiane
.
So
when
the
Emperour
Alicandro
hadde
well
vnderstoode
all
that
Oristedes
,
hadde
tolde
him
,
hée
was
so
full
of
ioy
and
mirth
,
that
hée
thought
that
in
all
his
life
he
neuer
receiued
the
one
halfe
of
so
great
comfort
&
pleasure
,
for
that
he
louod
the
princes
Lindabrides
,
much
more
then
the
prince
Meridian
.
And
would
giue
a
good
part
of
his
estate
,
so
that
the
Princesse
might
remaine
with
the
whole
Empire
.
And
for
that
he
was
fully
certified
of
the
high
bounty
,
of
Oristedes
,
&
of
the
prince
Meridian
,
his
sonne
.
That
he
was
certaine
&
suer
,
that
the
knight
that
should
ouercome
them
,
in
battaile
,
should
surmount
all
other
knights
in
the
whole
world
.
And
so
with
great
ioy
,
he
did
embrace
Oristedes
,
&
gaue
him
great
thanks
for
his
comming
.
All
the
other
lords
and
knights
that
were
in
the
great
hall
,
they
were
greatly
amazed
when
they
vnderstoode
that
one
alone
knight
did
ouercome
in
battaile
two
such
valiant
knights
as
they
were
.
For
that
they
thought
verily
that
in
all
the
world
could
not
bée
found
others
that
could
be
equall
vnto
them
.
So
strayghtwaies
the
Emperour
Alicandro
,
caused
these
newes
to
bée
published
throughout
all
his
kingdome
&
lordship
,
commanding
all
his
v●…ssailes
&
subiects
,
to
prepare
&
make
themselues
in
a
redines
,
to
be
at
the
great
triumphs
&
feasts
which
hée
doth
pretend
to
make
,
at
the
mariage
of
the
princes
Lindabrides
,
his
daughter
.
All
this
while
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
went
tranailing
in
his
triumphant
chariot
,
&
the
more
that
the
conuersation
of
the
princes
did
continue
,
so
much
the
more
,
dyd
his
hart
burne
in
the
flaming
fier
of
hir
loue
,
in
such
sort
,
that
he
neuer
remembred
the
faire
princes
Claridiana
,
neither
the
em●…erour
his
father
,
nor
Rosicleer
,
his
brother
,
neither
his
two
perfect
friends
Brandizel
&
Clauerindo
,
of
all
his
memory
he
was
cleane
void
,
forgetting
his
owne
naturall
country
,
&
all
transported
&
kindled
in
the
amorous
loue
of
the
princes
,
and
onely
in
contemplating
himselfe
in
beholding
hir
great
beautie
,
was
all
his
ioy
&
delight
,
so
that
he
remembred
no
other
thing
.
Wherat
none
ought
much
to
meruaile
,
for
that
the
surpassing
beautye
of
this
noble
princes
,
(
accompanyed
with
so
high
and
soueraigne
maiestie
)
was
such
,
that
I
doo
beleeue
that
there
was
neuer
knight
borne
in
this
world
,
that
kéeping
continuall
company
with
hir
as
the
knight
of
the
Sun
dead
,
&
hauing
before
him
that
perillous
sight
,
that
could
cléere
himselfe
or
withstand
the
firie
darts
of
loue
(
although
we
may
well
dessemble
the
great
loyalty
that
it
told
of
other
knights
,
for
that
it
is
to
tell
of
things
surmounting
nature
,
or
els
it
is
so
●…ar
to
extoll
knights
,
for
to
make
them
to
beare
off
to
be
men
.
)
So
that
if
the
knight
of
the
Sun
with
the
presence
of
the
princesse
had
forgot
himselfe
,
to
the
contrary
,
the
princes
with
the
presence
of
him
was
the
pleasantest
lady
in
all
the
world
,
&
receiued
great
contentment
onely
in
thinking
that
at
their
comming
vnto
the
court
of
the
emperour
hir
father
,
their
marriage
should
straight
wayes
be
celebrated
.
So
after
that
they
had
trauailed
one
mooneth
in
the
mighty
Asia
,
they
entred
into
the
second
Scithia
,
wheras
they
saw
so
many
&
so
strange
formes
of
people
and
customes
,
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
went
very
much
amazed
,
and
although
many
things
worthy
of
telling
hapned
vnto
them
in
this
iourny
,
yet
this
history
doth
leaue
them
,
for
that
if
he
should
detaine
himselfe
in
telling
of
them
,
he
shuld
leaue
off
to
declare
the
principall
,
for
that
the
greater
part
is
vntold
.
To
conclude
,
in
the
end
they
entred
into
the
country
o●…
the
gran
Cataia
.
Then
the
emperour
when
he
vnderstood
that
they
were
within
a
daies
iourney
of
Neptaia
,
whereas
hée
was
,
hée
went
foorth
to
méet
them
accompanied
with
mor●…
then
fiftie
kings
&
lords
,
his
subiects
,
&
euery
one
a
crowne
〈◊〉
gold
vpon
his
head
,
and
more
then
a
thousand
knights
tha●…
went
in
gard
.
And
when
they
came
whereas
they
met
th●…
triumphant
chariot
,
they
alighted
from
their
horses
,
&
wen●…
&
kissed
the
hands
of
the
princes
Lindabrides
,
&
embraced
th●…
knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
hée
receiued
them
with
great
ioy
&
co●…tentment
,
&
when
the
emperour
drew
nigh
,
the
knight
of
th●…
Sun
knéeled
downe
before
him
for
to
kisse
his
hands
,
but
th●…
emperor
with
great
pleasure
meruailed
at
his
mightie
pr●…portion
&
gallant
semblance
,
would
not
consent
therevnt●…
but
embraced
him
with
great
loue
,
&
kissed
him
,
saying
:
dooe
desire
the
high
&
mighty
gods
,
my
sonne
,
to
graunt
you
health
,
that
you
may
enioy
many
yéeres
your
youthfulnesse
,
for
that
your
comming
into
this
country
hath
made
me
very
glad
&
ioyfull
.
And
I
doo
desire
them
(
my
good
lord
)
said
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
to
preserue
your
person
&
emperiall
estat
for
that
all
we
your
subiects
,
may
doo
our
duties
in
your
seruice
.
Then
Oristedes
the
troyan
came
vnto
him
,
as
one
that
had
a
great
desire
to
see
him
,
&
the
knight
of
the
Sun
embraced
him
with
great
loue
,
&
all
those
kings
&
knights
meruailed
much
at
his
mightie
proportion
,
&
musing
how
that
〈◊〉
knight
of
so
few
yéeres
should
consist
so
great
force
&
strength
.
So
after
that
all
had
giuen
him
entertainment
,
the
emperour
went
vnto
the
triumphant
chariot
,
&
ascended
vp
into
it
the
faire
princes
did
fall
downe
vpon
hir
knees
&
kissed
his
hands
,
&
the
emperour
likewise
kissed
hir
,
&
receiued
hir
with
great
loue
,
&
passing
béetwéene
them
many
words
of
great
pleasure
,
he
set
himself
downe
in
the
triumphant
chariot
,
in
the
midst
betwéene
the
princes
&
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
all
the
other
kings
&
lords
,
mounted
vpon
their
horses
,
&
compassed
the
Chariot
round
about
,
taking
their
iourney
towards
the
mightie
Citie
of
Neptaya
,
whereas
of
an
infinit
number
of
people
,
as
well
women
as
men
,
with
great
solempnitie
they
were
receiued
,
being
all
much
amazed
at
his
gentle
and
gallant
disposition
.
Likewise
the
knight
of
the
Sun
did
very
much
meruaile
at
the
mighty
greatnes
of
that
citie
,
and
of
the
great
abundance
of
people
that
were
therin
,
and
saide
vnto
himselfe
,
that
not
without
great
reason
the
Emperour
was
estéemed
for
the
mightiest
Prince
in
all
the
world
.
So
likewise
when
they
came
vnto
the
mightie
pallace
,
he
was
no
lesse
amazed
to
sée
the
great
sumptuousnes
and
riches
thereof
,
for
that
in
all
his
life
hée
neuer
saw
the
like
,
no
not
by
a
great
deale
,
for
that
it
seemed
●…o
bée
a
citie
compassed
about
with
verye
strong
walles
and
high
towers
.
When
they
came
thether
they
all
alighted
from
their
horses
,
&
entred
into
that
mighty
pallace
,
whereas
they
passed
away
the
rest
of
the
day
that
remained
,
&
all
that
night
in
great
&
solempne
feasts
.
And
it
was
concluded
amongst
them
all
,
that
within
fifteene
daies
they
should
begin
to
make
the
great
triumphs
&
feasts
for
the
mariage
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
&
the
princes
Lindabrides
,
at
the
which
triumph
shal
be
present
the
most
strongest
king
and
knights
in
all
the
pagan
country
,
for
to
see
by
experience
the
great
bounty
that
hath
ben
published
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
who
all
this
time
receiued
great
ioy
&
contentment
,
for
the
time
drew
on
to
finish
his
great
desire
,
&
although
the
loue
of
the
princes
,
&
hir
great
desert
were
the
principall
occasion
that
he
should
bée
desirous
to
marry
with
hir
.
Likewise
considered
,
he
might
thinke
himselfe
happye
to
haue
to
wife
the
daughter
of
so
mightie
an
emperour
,
&
heire
vnto
so
high
estate
.
With
this
determination
&
firme
loue
he
passed
away
that
time
verie
much
honored
of
the
emperour
,
&
respected
of
all
those
lords
&
kings
his
vassailes
,
for
that
they
all
had
a
great
delight
&
pleasure
in
him
.

Chapter

62.
AFter
the
departure
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
the
two
princes
Brandizel
&
Clauerindo
did
a
bide
certaine
daies
in
the
court
of
the
emperour
Trebatio
of
whom
&
likewise
of
all
his
knights
,
they
were
honoured
&
esteemed
,
&
by
reason
of
the
great
loue
which
the
Prince
Brandizel
bare
vnto
the
princesse
Clarinea
,
she
could
not
take
any
rest
nor
be
at
quiet
.
S●…
vpon
Turrian
day
béeing
in
conuersation
with
his
friend
Claueryndo
,
hee
sayd
:
That
for
so
much
as
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
was
not
there
with
them
,
mée
thinckes
it
should
bée
good
(
in
the
meane
time
till
hée
returned
agayne
)
to
fly
from
this
idlenesse
in
the
which
wee
are
,
and
to
go
and
seeke
some
aduentures
for
to
increase
our
honour
,
and
to
exercise
militarie
Knighthood
.
The
which
counsayle
lyked
the
Prince
very
well
,
and
vnderstanding
the
will
of
Brandizell
,
hée
strayght
wayes
sayde
that
hee
should
dooe
all
that
his
pleasure
was
,
for
that
hee
should
receyue
great
contentment
therein
.
So
both
of
them
asked
lisence
of
the
Emperour
for
to
depart
,
promising
him
to
returne
againe
so
soone
as
they
heard
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
was
returned
agayne
.
So
the
Emperor
(
although
very
much
against
his
will
,
and
by
theyr
great
importunancie
)
did
grant
leaue
vnto
them
.
So
these
two
perfect
friends
departed
from
Constantinople
,
and
when
they
came
vnto
the
waters
side
,
they
entered
into
a
ship
which
they
found
readie
to
depart
towards
the
kingdome
of
Polonia
.
After
that
they
were
departed
&
had
sayled
on
theyr
voyage
foure
dayes
,
there
beegan
to
arise
a
great
storme
at
the
sea
,
and
at
midnight
the
winde
began
to
blow
so
terrible
,
and
the
Sea
to
worke
so
far
out
of
all
order
,
that
sometimes
they
thought
that
the
waues
carryed
the
ship
vp
into
the
cloudes
,
and
other
tymes
they
thought
the
Ship
to
fall
downe
to
the
deapth
thereof
,
and
the
Ship
receiued
such
a
leake
,
that
whatsoeuer
the
marriners
could
doo
with
the
Pompe
and
otherwise
,
yet
might
they
goe
vp
to
the
knees
in
water
aboue
the
balest
,
for
the
which
cause
these
two
good
knights
made
no
other
reckoning
but
to
bée
lost
,
which
caused
them
with
all
theyr
harts
to
praye
vnto
God
to
haue
mercie
on
them
,
and
to
forgiue
them
theyr
sinnes
,
and
also
if
it
were
his
diuine
pleasure
to
delyuer
them
out
of
that
great
torment
.
When
the
day
was
come
those
boysterous
windes
dyd
so
beate
the
Ship
▪
tumbling
and
tossing
it
from
one
part
to
another
,
in
such
fort
,
that
it
could
no
longer
indure
,
but
opened
a
sunder
in
the
midest
,
so
that
these
two
Knights
had
no
other
refuge
,
but
eyther
of
them
to
take
holde
of
the
first
planke
that
came
vnto
theyr
hands
.
Then
God
who
dyd
reserue
them
for
a
greater
effect
,
did
deliuer
them
that
they
were
not
drowned
in
that
torment
,
for
that
they
had
not
fully
halfe
an
houre
.
sustained
themselues
vpon
their
planks
in
the
water
,
when
that
those
mightie
high
and
great
waues
dyd
carrye
them
vpon
the
shoare
.
The
Prince
Brandizel
in
Polonia
,
and
the
Prince
Clauerindo
vpon
an
Iland
that
séemed
to
bée
full
of
thick
and
gréene
trées
,
who
when
hée
was
vpon
the
shoare
,
and
saw
himself
cléere
of
that
great
torment
,
he
gaue
great
thanckes
vnto
almightie
God
for
his
wonderfull
benefits
shewed
vnto
him
in
that
his
deliuerance
,
&
dyd
very
much
lament
the
losse
of
his
friend
Brandizel
,
not
knowing
what
was
béecome
of
him
.
And
béeing
very
desirous
to
know
in
what
Countrie
hée
was
,
finding
a
narrow
and
small
vsed
way
,
hée
followed
the
same
,
and
trauayling
therein
a
mile
,
hée
meruayled
very
much
that
hée
could
sée
no
people
,
neyther
anie
towne
or
inhabitaunce
,
the
Countrie
béeing
so
fresh
and
full
of
Trées
that
it
séemed
vnto
him
neuer
in
all
his
lyfe
to
haue
séene
a
Countrie
so
delightsome
.
So
after
a
great
while
that
hée
had
trauayled
by
that
narrow
path
,
at
such
time
as
the
Sun
béegan
to
waxe
hot
,
and
found
himselfe
out
from
amongst
those
trées
,
hee
entered
into
a
great
and
wide
plaine
,
in
the
midst
of
the
which
hée
saw
a
mightie
high
and
well
towred
Castle
,
the
which
was
of
Lyndaraza
,
the
sight
wherof
put
him
in
great
admiration
,
and
it
séemed
vnto
him
that
it
could
not
bee
wrought
by
any
humane
hands
,
and
beeing
very
desirous
to
know
who
it
shuld
be
that
was
Lord
of
that
meruaylous
Castle
,
hée
hasted
his
pace
more
then
beefore
,
and
went
towards
the
same
,
and
the
nigher
hee
came
to
it
the
more
hée
meruayled
.
So
when
hée
came
and
saw
that
wide
and
déepe
ditch
,
and
that
there
was
no
other
entrie
into
the
Castell
but
onelie
by
the
bridge
,
hée
went
thether
,
and
found
that
the
gate
was
shut
,
and
hauing
at
the
ring
thereof
a
very
fayre
and
rich
horne
of
Iuorie
,
with
a
scroule
vpon
it
which
sayde
.
Thou
Knight
,
whose
fortune
hath
brought
thée
hether
,
if
thou
art
determined
to
know
anie
thing
of
this
great
and
strong
Castle
,
blow
this
horne
,
and
thou
shalt
not
lacke
one
to
make
thee
aunswere
,
and
haue
a
great
care
in
defending
thy selfe
from
the
Porter
,
for
that
hee
will
put
thy
lyfe
in
great
perill
.
The
Prince
heereat
was
very
much
amazed
,
and
could
not
imagine
what
it
should
bee
,
but
hauing
a
great
desire
to
know
what
should
bée
within
,
without
any
longer
tarrying
,
and
with
a
valiant
courage
hée
tooke
the
horne
and
put
it
to
his
mouth
,
&
béegan
to
sound
it
with
so
great
strength
,
that
the
sound
was
heard
throughout
all
the
Castell
,
and
hée
had
not
scarce
pulled
the
Horne
from
his
mouth
,
when
that
with
a
great
rushing
and
noyse
the
gates
were
open
,
and
there
issued
out
at
the
gate
a
furious
beast
called
Brama
,
and
the
most
horrible
and
euill
fauouredst
that
euer
was
séene
formed
by
nature
,
for
that
his
body
was
as
big
as
two
good
horses
,
and
his
legges
more
bigger
then
a
buls
legge
,
and
each
legge
had
fiue
clawes
,
and
the
least
of
them
was
a
span
long
,
and
as
bigge
as
a
mans
finger
,
and
his
mouth
so
bigge
,
that
a
man
might
well
goe
in
thereat
,
and
was
all
furnished
with
very
big
tuskes
,
and
as
sharp
as
a
rasour
,
and
hée
threw
out
at
his
mouth
great
abundaunce
of
fire
and
smoake
,
in
such
sort
,
that
it
séemed
to
bée
Hell
mouth
,
and
hée
came
foorth
with
so
great
brauenesse
,
that
there
was
no
man
but
onely
at
the
sight
of
hir
would
haue
receiued
great
feare
.
And
as
soone
as
this
Brama
was
come
foorth
,
it
went
strayght
wayes
towards
the
Prince
,
and
in
his
hastynesse
hée
would
haue
gored
him
with
his
sharp
tuskes
,
but
the
Prince
who
was
polytike
and
very
lyght
,
gaue
a
leape
on
the
one
side
,
and
cléered
himselfe
from
the
fury
thereof
,
and
passing
by
him
with
his
swoord
hée
thrust
so
terrible
a
foyne
at
that
monster
,
that
chancing
béetwéene
two
ribs
,
it
entered
into
his
body
vp
to
the
hilts
,
and
pulling
the
sword
out
,
there
followed
great
abundance
of
blood
out
at
the
wound
.
Then
when
the
furious
Brama
felt
himselfe
hurt
,
with
as
great
fury
as
euer
was
séene
,
he
returned
vnto
the
Prince
,
who
bearing
his
head
very
lowe
,
in
such
sort
,
that
by
no
meanes
hee
could
defende
himselfe
,
but
must
of
force
abide
his
fury
,
who
stroke
him
with
his
tuskes
so
terrible
a
blow
,
that
hee
threw
him
from
the
ground
tenne
paces
from
him
backwards
,
so
that
if
his
armour
had
not
béene
made
by
that
wise
man
Lyrgandeo
,
at
that
blow
hée
had
parted
him
a
sunder
in
the
midst
,
yet
for
all
that
,
the
Prince
was
so
euill
intreated
with
the
mightie
fall
,
that
if
hée
had
not
béene
of
so
valiant
a
courage
,
it
had
not
béene
possible
for
him
to
haue
risen
agayne
from
the
ground
,
but
by
reason
that
hée
was
one
of
the
most
valiantest
Knights
in
all
the
world
,
with
a
trise
hée
arose
vp
agayne
,
and
at
such
time
as
this
furious
Brama
camen
towards
him
againe
,
for
to
claspe
him
béetwixt
his
cruell
and
sharp
clawes
,
hée
firmed
himselfe
sure
vpon
his
féete
,
and
tooke
his
sword
in
both
his
hands
,
and
determined
to
put
his
lyfe
in
aduenture
in
striking
of
one
blow
,
and
so
hee
dyd
,
for
at
such
time
as
this
Brama
came
vnto
him
,
hée
stroke
him
so
stronge
a
blow
with
both
his
hands
vppon
his
monstrous
head
,
and
for
that
his
Swoord
was
very
good
and
sharpe
,
and
stroke
with
so
good
a
will
of
the
Prince
,
that
it
cloue
it
cleane
asunder
,
and
the
sword
entered
into
the
ground
a
good
span
,
so
that
the
monstrous
beast
fell
downe
dead
to
the
ground
beefore
the
Prince
,
who
praysed
God
greatly
for
that
victorie
which
hee
had
,
and
remayned
a
good
while
bee
houlding
that
great
beast
,
and
was
very
much
amazed
at
his
strange
forme
and
furious
composition
,
and
béeing
very
desirous
to
know
and
vnderstand
the
ende
of
that
straunge
aduenture
,
without
any
longer
tarrying
hee
entered
in
at
the
great
gates
that
were
open
,
and
as
hee
went
in
vnder
the
first
tower
,
lookeing
on
the
one
side
,
hee
saw
proportioned
on
the
wall
,
his
perfect
friend
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
it
was
so
arteficially
done
,
that
it
seemed
to
bee
himselfe
in
person
,
and
beeing
greatly
amazed
thereat
,
hée
stayed
to
hée
▪
holde
the
whole
circumstaunce
thereof
,
and
there
hee
saw
the
thrée
first
battailes
the
which
hee
made
vpon
the
bridge
,
paynted
very
naturally
.
And
calling
to
remembraunce
that
which
the
Emperour
Trebatio
had
commanded
to
bée
paynted
vpon
the
fore
front
of
the
pallace
,
he
straight
waies
fell
in
reckoning
what
it
should
bée
,
and
how
that
was
the
Iland
of
Lyndaraza
,
whereas
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
tooke
out
and
set
at
liberty
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
and
receiuing
great
ioye
and
contentment
to
sée
painted
there
the
mighty
and
wonderful
déeds
of
his
great
friend
,
he
passed
forwards
,
and
finding
that
there
was
no
doore
shut
to
●…ake
any
resistance
,
hée
entered
into
euery
part
therof
,
without
any
feare
or
dread
,
and
in
euery
hall
or
chamber
wherein
hee
entered
,
〈◊〉
stayed
to
beehold
the
braue
and
perillous
battailes
that
had
there
passed
with
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
,
and
of
all
them
were
so
perfectly
set
forth
,
that
it
séemed
to
bee
new
done
as
then
,
and
beeing
as
greatly
amazed
to
see
all
this
,
as
also
the
sumptuous
buildings
,
it
seemed
rather
to
him
to
bée
things
celest●…all
,
and
not
made
by
the
handes
of
any
humane
creature
.
And
when
hée
had
passed
through
all
the
doores
,
halls
,
and
chambers
,
whereas
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
had
made
battayls
,
hée
entered
into
the
great
and
mightie
Court
,
wheras
he
was
no
lesse
amazed
then
beefore
at
the
strange
makeing
thereof
and
great
riches
.
So
in
this
sort
hée
procéeded
forwards
,
and
went
vp
a
broad
payre
of
stayres
into
a
mighty
Gallerie
,
whereas
hée
discouered
the
doore
,
and
thrée
steps
of
beaten
stluer
,
and
comming
to
them
hée
entered
in
at
the
doore
,
where
hée
saw
the
fayre
Lyndaraza
and
all
hir
Damsels
,
playing
vpon
Harps
,
with
so
excellent
a
grace
,
that
the
sweet
noyse
of
Musicke
séemed
to
ascend
vp
in●…o
the
Heauens
,
and
filled
his
cares
with
the
sweet
melo●…ie
,
in
such
sort
,
that
as
a
man
depriued
of
his
vnderstan●…ing
,
the
Prince
remained
at
the
entrie
of
the
doore
,
and
sée●…ed
vnto
him
that
the
voyce
of
Lyndaraza
was
rather
ce●…estiall
then
humane
,
and
therewith
he
was
straight
wayes
●…aken
prisoner
with
hir
loue
,
and
neuer
beefore
was
there
●…uer
Lady
or
Damsell
that
was
Lord
of
his
hart
.
So
then
●…yndaraza
tooking
towards
the
doore
had
spide
the
Prince
,
●…nd
strayght
wayes
left
off
hir

and
hir

,
tooke
hir

,
and
did
lift
hir

wheras
shee
sat
and
with
a
countenance
as
thou●…h
shée
had
béen
angry

shée
sayd
:
Who

sir
knight
,
that

béene
so
bould
,
without
my

,
to

.
Then
the
Prince
who
was
béeholding
of
hir
,
as
one
amazed
,
and
was
very
sorrie
,
for
that
hée
had
giuen
hir
occasion
to
bée
angry
,
with
a
trise
hée
pulled
of
his

and
discouered

,
that
it

And

Then

:
It

,
that
against
the
highnesse
of

of

that

was
serued
with
verie
fine

〈◊〉
then
the
faire
Lindaraza
said
:
Worthy

I
doo

hartelie
desire

,
whereas

vnto
very

Knights
,
and
likewise
〈◊〉
you
can
tell
mée
any
newes
of
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
my
lord
,
for
that
since
the
time
●…e
was
carried
away
from
hence
by
a
knight
of
mighty
Knighthood
,
wée
neuer
heard
any
newes
of
him
.
Then
the
Prince
who
was
with
great
pleasure
contempl●…ting
himselfe
in
hir
great
beauty
,
and
as
one
that
could
giue
hir
relation
of
all
together
,
hee
told
hir
of
all
that

passed
till
such
time
as

departed
out

of
the
Emperour
.
Of
the
which
the
fayre
Lindabrides
receiued
so
great
pleasure
,
to
heare
those
newes
,
that
hir
beauty
increased
the
more
.
And
beeing
in
this
communication
,
Flamides
(
who
was
gone
a
hunting
in
the
Forrest
)
came
home
,
and
when
〈◊〉
saw
the
Prince
hee
was
very
gald
,
for
that
hée
vnderstood
that
hee
should
bée
the
knight
,
by
whom
his
nephew
Lindaraza
should
bee
set
at
libertie
,
&
entering
into
the
quadran
whereas
they
were
,
and
knowen
vnto
the
Prince
who
hée
was
,
he
receiued
him
with
curteous
entertainment
,
and
they
both
embraced
one
another
with
great
●…oue
.
So
they
pass●…d
away
the
rest
of
the
day
which
remained
with
great
pleasure
,
and
when
the
night
came
,
the
Prince
and
Flamides
●…ay
both
in
one
chamber
,
whereas
the
Prince
declared
vnto
Flamides
the
great
loue
which
hee
bare
vnto
Lindaraza
,
and
●…esired
him
that
he
might
haue
the
carrying
of
her
vnto
the
Court
of
the
Emperour
hir
father
,
for
that
his
determina●…ion
was
,
to
demaund
hir
for
his
wife
,
and
according
vnto
●…he
great
loue
and
friendship
that
was
beetwixt
them
,
they
●…éeleeued
verily
that
shee
should
not
bée
denyed
.
Then
Flamines
who
receiued
greater
contentment
thereat
,
then
at
any
other
thing
,
sayd
,
that
hée
was
very
well
content
,
and
that
hée
should
doo
him
great
pleasure
therein
.
So
béetwixt
them
both
it
was
consented
,
that
they
all
together
should
depart
from
thence
the
next
day
.
Whereas

Brandizel
was
deliuered
from

torment
of

,
and
what

vnto

afterwards
.
Chapter
.
63.
IN
great
peril
to
be
drowned
the
prince
Brandizel
found
himselfe
in
that
furious
torment
,
which
chaunced
vnto
them
at
the
Sea
,
but
God
would
not
permit
that
such
a
knight
as
hée
was
should
dye
,
but
first
to
acknowledge
his
Christian
lawe
,
dyd
direct
his
fortune
in
such
sort
,
that
the
planke
wheron
he
swam
,
was
carryed
by
those
vniuersall
and
great
rouling
waues
vnto
the
shoare
,
which
séemed
to
bée
very
good
,
fresh
,
and
fertiel
.
When
this
wearyed
and
afflicted
Prince
was
a
land
,
hée
knew
the
Countrie
,
for
that
hée
had
béene
in
it
beefore
,
and
it
was
the
kingdome
of
Polonia
,
whereas
hée
did
deliuer
and
cleere
out
of
the
power
of
the
Gyant
,
the
fayre
Princesse
Clarinea
,
his
Lady
,
and
for
that
hée
knew
the
Countrie
very
well
,
one
way
hée
was
very
sad
and
sorrowfull
,
for
the
great
perill
in
the
which
remained
hir
very
friend
Clauerindo
,
&
otherwise
hée
was
the
gladdest
man
in
all
the
world
,
for
that
hée
was
in
that
Countrie
,
and
so
nigh
vnto
the
Princesse
his
Lady
,
but
when
hée
considered
with
himselfe
that
hée
was
on
foot
,
and
so
euill
intreated
with
the
sea
hee
was
ashamed
so
to
shew
himselfe
beefore
the
King
,
neyther
knew
hée
no●…
what
to
doo
,
nor
whether
hee
might
goe
,
for
to
remedie
him selfe
in
that
necessitie
.
The
time
of
the
yéere
as
then
was
very
hot
,
and
after
that
hée
had
dryed
himselfe
in
the
Sun
,
hée
put
himselfe
into
a
gallant
fresh
&
greene
Forrest
,
which
was
along
the
sea
side
,
&
comming
vnto
a
fountaine
of
very
cleere
〈◊〉
christalline
water
,
shadowed
with
boughs
of
verye
greene
〈◊〉
odoriferous
tre●…s
,
he
stooped
and
dronke
of
the
same
wate●…
,
&
after
he
had
well
refreshed
hims●…lfe
he
sa●…e
downe
vpon
〈◊〉
gréene
grasse
,
&
pulled
off
his
helme
&
laid
himselfe
downe
,
&
what
with
the
pittering
of
the
leaues
of
the
trees
,
〈◊〉
with
the
pleasant
aire
,
likewise
with
the
swéet
noise
of
the
running
of
the
water
,
he
fell
in
a
sound
sleepe
,
&
being
ther
a
〈◊〉
,
the
king
of
Polonia
who
was
on
hunting
in
the
same
forrest
,
chanced
with
his
knights
,
for
to
come
vnto
the
same
place
,
&
when
the
king
&
his
knights
did
first
see
him
,
they
were
greatly
amazed
to
see
a
knight
of
so
gentle
disposition
to
lie
along
vpon
the
grasse
,
&
especially
in
that
place
,
but
by
reason
his
helme
was
off
,
they
did
very
much
behold
him
,
&
in
the
end
they
knew
him
to
be
the
prince
Brandizel
,
〈◊〉
great
fri●…nd
,
at
the
which
he
was
greatly
amazed
for
to
see
him
ther
alone
,
&
without
any
horse
,
yet
was
he
the
gladst
man
in
all
the
world
,
&
did
alight
from
his
horse
&
went
vnto
him
,
and
shaking
him
by
the
armes
,
the
prince
did
awake
out
of
his
sleepe
,
&
when
he
knew
the
king
he
was
much
amazed
,
&
with
a
trise
hee
arose
vp
and
went
for
to
kisse
his
hands
,
but
the
king
who
did
loue
him
very
well
did
embrace
him
with
g●…eat
loue
,
and
asked
him
how
he
came
into
that
country
all
alone
,
&
by
what
aduenture
.
To
whom
the
prince
said
,
with
great
desire
to
serue
your
〈◊〉
,
&
there
he
declare●…
vn●…o
him
all
that
hapned
vnto
him
,
&
vnto
the
prince
Clauerindo
,
&
vnderstanding
all
,
the
king
was
very
sorowfull
for
the
great
perill
and
danger
in
the
which
the
prince
Clauerindo
remained
,
although
he
thought
all
for
the
best
,
&
was
very
glad
to
see
in
that
country
the
prince
Brandizel
,
for
that
he
had
a
great
d●…sire
to
ma●…ie
him
vnto
the
princes
Clarinea
his
daughter
▪
for
that
it
séemed
vnto
him
to
be
one
of
the
be●…t
knights
in
all
the
world
.
So
after
that
there
had
passed
béetwixt
them
manye
things
,
the
king
commaunded
a
horse
to
be
giuen
vnto
the
prince
,
&
so
they
departed
together
vnto
the
citie
of
Poloni●…
,
which
was
but
foure
miles
from
that
place
,
whereas
they
were
meruailou●…ly
well
reteined
,
but
especially
of
the
princes
,
whose
ioy
&
pleasure
was
such
,
that
it
could
not
be
rehersed
,
at
such
time
as
she
vnderstood
of
the
comming
of
him
whom
hir
hart
so
greatly
desired
▪
and
whom
she
thoug●…t
so
long
for
his
comming
.
The
history
cannot
héere
detaine
him selfe
long
,
but
onely
how
that
the
prince
remained
ther
certaine
daies
in
the
which
time
the
wise
Lirgandeo
vnderstanding
the
great
care
in
the
which
he
was
in
,
for
that
he
du●…st
not
marie
himselfe
without
the
lisence
of
his
father
,
did
send
him
letters
from
the
king
Florion
,
and
from
the
quéene
his
mother
,
by
the
which
they
gaue
him
lisence
to
mary
with
the
princesse
Clarinea
,
&
desired
him
to
returne
&
sée
them
so
soone
as
it
was
possible
,
&
the
prince
being
glad
therof
,
dyd
shew
them
vnto
the
king
,
who
likewise
did
reioyce
therat
.
So
straight
wsies
the
mariage
was
made
in
such
sort
,
that
the
prince
did
inioy
the
princesse
Clarineo
,
wheras
the
history
doth
leaue
them
till
time
doth
serue

Of
the
great
triumphs
&
feasts
that
were
made
in
the
court
of
the
Emperour
Alycandro
.
Chapter
.
64.
THe
day
drew
on
in
the
which
the
mariage
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
with
the
princesse
Lindabrides
should
be
celebrated
,
&
the
whole
citie
of
Neptaia
,
with
the
wide
&
broad
fields
,
were
all
furnished
with
valiant
,
worthy
,
&
well
estéemed
knights
,
which
séemed
to
be
a
mightie
army
,
amongst
them
ther
lacked
not
high
&
mightie
kings
,
&
valiant
&
stout
knights
,
for
that
all
the
flower
of
the
pagans
were
ioyned
together
in
the
court
of
the
emperour
Alicandro
,
Wherat
the
knight
of
the
Sun
was
greatly
amazed
for
that
if
he
had
not
séene
it
,
he
could
not
haue
beléeued
that
the
power
os
any
one
Lord
in
all
the
world
could
not
haue
extended
so
far
.
At
this
time
the
knight
of
the
Sun
was
estéemed
and
honoured
of
all
those
mightie
kings
,
Lords
,
and
knights
,
who
thought
long
for
the
day
of
the
triumphs
,
for
to
sée
by
experience
some
part
of
his
great
bountie
that
was
so
noised
abroad
,
for
that
they
could
not
beléeue
that
he
should
bée
of
so
great
force
&
strength
but
that
ther
were
a
great
number
of
pagans
in
that
court
that
would
shew
themselues
more
valiaunter
then
he
.
In
this
time
the
great
ioy
&
contentment
which
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
receiued
cannot
be
expressed
,
for
that
the
day
approched
nigh
in
the
which
hir
welbeloued
knight
shall
be
giuen
hir
to
husband
,
so
that
ther
were
no
ioy
nor
pleasure
that
might
be
compared
vnto
hirs
,
●…or
that
as
then
she
was
voide
of
all
feare
,
&
in
great
security
of
that
great
doubt
which
the
presence
of
the
princesse
Claridiana
did
put
hir
in
.
So
the
dext
day
was
come
,
in
the
which
the
great
triumphs
&
feasts
should
be
celebrated
,
for
that
the
next
day
following
they
should
be
maried
,
in
which
day
the
emperour
(
in
a
fresh
&
gréene
garden
,
which
was
ioyning

did
inuite
all
those
mighty
kings
,
princes
,
&
estéemed
knights
,
that
were
ther
present
,
for
to
dine
with
him
,
the
which
was
done
with
great
solempnitie
,
and
great
store
of
musick
of
diuers
sorts
.
The
dinner
was
ended
somwhat
betimes
,
&
all
those
knights
which
would
enter
into
the
〈◊〉
,
went
to
arme
themselues
,
&
the
●…mperour
put
himselfe
in
his
royall
place
appointed
to
bée
holde
all
that
should
passe
,
accompanied
with
such
ancient
kings
&
knights
that
for
their
age
they
could
not
weare
armour
nor
●…ust

And
straight
wai●…s
the
faire
princes
Lindabrides
,
who
was
so
brauely
&
richly
apparailed
,
as
neuer
the
like
was
seene
,
came
foorth
accompanied
with
more
then
two
hundreth
of
ladies
&
damsels
,
which
were
very
faire
&
of
high
estate
an●…
lignage
,
and
were
carried
vnto
a
place
of
estate
,
that
was
very
rich●…y
hanged
,
and
was
appointed
for
them
,
on
the
one
side
of
that
mighty
court
.
So
when
that
all
the
windows
,
〈◊〉
,
〈◊〉
all
other
places
were
●…urnished
with
people
,
knights
began
to
apeare
in
the
court
,
a
great
number
.
Then
the
knight
of
the
Sun
being
armed
with
his
rich
armour
,
that
he
had
of
Meridian
,
&
mounted
vpon
his
light
horse
,
hée
came
foorth
into
the
place
,
all
to
he
trapped
with
cloth
of
filu●…r
,
wrought
with
beaten
gold
,
&
set
full
of
precious
stones
,
〈◊〉
▪
which
was
worth
a
whole
●…ingdome
.
He
likewise
had
a
〈◊〉
of
blew
silk
,
wr●…ught
with
gold
,
which
the
princes
Lind●…brides
,
did
giue
him
▪
&
did
become
him
meruailously
well
,
&
for
that
he
came
foorth
accompanied
with
many
princes
&
knights
,
&
with
the
sound
of
many
instruments
it
gaue
him
so
great
maiestie
,
that
it
well
seemed
that
he
was
the
most
highest
prince
in
all
the
world
.
And
all
men
receiued
great
contentment
of
his
mighty
proporcion
,
for
that
he
was
the
best
made
knight
,
&
the
comeliest
both
on
horsbacke

en
foote
,
armed
&
v●…armed
,
that
was
●…o
be
found
amongst
all
〈◊〉

pagans

And
the
most

pain●…ers
in
Grecia
,
did
send
his
picture
for
a
m●…ruaile
into
all
the
wor●…d
,
and
was
no
les●…e
wondred
at
of
all
〈◊〉
that
did
see
it
.
So
when
the
knight
of
the
Sun
was
ent●…ed
into
the
great
place
,
he
rode
round
about
the
same
,
&
being
done
he
put
himselfe
at
his
〈◊〉
,
with
a
mightie
great
speare
in
his
hand
,
〈◊〉
pulled
downe
●…is
beuer
,
&
straight
waies
they
began
to
〈◊〉
vnto
the
Iust.
.
It
was
not
long
after
,
when
ther
came
foorth
against
him
a
pagan
knight
,
and
prince
of
Cambray
,
a
young
man
&
very
desirous
to
get
honor
,
who
was
armed
with
〈◊〉
ry
rich
armour
,
&
mounted
vpon
a
great
Horse
,
who
〈◊〉
against
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
who
likewise
came
foorth
〈◊〉
receiue
him
,
and
made
their
encounter
,
with
so
great
force
〈◊〉
strength
,
that
the
prince
of
Cambray
all
to
bée
shiuered
hi●…
speare
,
vpon
the
strong
armo●…r
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
with
out
doing
him
any
o●…her
harme
:
but
he
made
his
〈◊〉
with
so
great
force
,
that
as
though
he
had
ben
a
child
,
he
〈◊〉
him
out
of
the
sadle
vnto
the
ground
,
&
he
passed
〈◊〉
on
,
as
thou●…h
he
had
done
nothing
.
And
for
that
they
had
the
prince
in
estimation
of
a
valiant
knight
,
they
were
all
very
much
amazed
to
see
him
so
quickly
ouer
throwen
.
Then
straight
waies
after
him
came
foorth
Bracazar
,
king
of
the
Sandalos
,
with
a
crowne
of
gold
vpon
his
helme
,
which
did
signifie
him
to
be
a
king
,
who
was
very
proud
,
and
a
knight
very
much
feared
amongst
the
pagans
,
&
comming
against
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
they
made
their
encounters
in
such
sort
,
that
when
the
pride
of
Bracazar
did
mast
increase
,
he
found
himselfe
ouerthrowen
vnto
the
ground
,
vnto
his
great
reproch
,
&
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
without
any
moouing
,
&
with
great
furie
of
his
horse
,
did
passe
forwardes
on
without
receiuing
any
harme
.
So
straight
waies
ther
came
foorth
another
pagan
,
vnto
the
encounter
called
,
Gebreo
,
king
of
the
Teras
,
one
of
the
principalest
in
all
the
court
of
the
emperour
,
who
thought
at
the
first
encounter
,
to
ouer
throw
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
&
with
great
fury
went
against
him
,
&
strok
him
,
such
a
blow
with
his
speare
,
that
he
made
him
somwhat
to
decline
backwards
vpon
his
saddle
.
But
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
made
his
encounter
with
so
great
strength
,
that
he
ouer
threw
him
&
his
horse
vnto
the
ground
.
Then
without
any
further
tarying
,
ther
came
foor●…h
other
three
strong
and
valiant
pagans
,
whom
he
ouerthrew
at
their
first
encounters
,
to
the
ground
,
〈◊〉
so
great
wonder
vnto
the
emperour
,
&
vnto
all
those
that
did
b●…hold
him
▪
that
they
could
not
beléeue
that
in
any
humane
knight
,
should
remaine
so
great
force
,
or
the
like
were
able
for
to
doo
.
But
much
more
they
were
amazed
,
when
that
the
most
part
of
the
day
he
passed
away
in
that
sor●…
,
&
had
〈◊〉
to
the
ground
,
more
then
one
hundreth
of
paga●…
knights
,
of
kings
&
other
mightie
lords
,
without
any
shew
of
wearinesse
in
him
,
or
receiuing
any
damage
at
all
,
but
as
one
that
●…ad
done
nothing
.
Then
the
〈◊〉
Oristedes
,
who
was
néer●…
vnto
the
●…mperour
,
sa●…d
:
Of
truth
I
cannot
beleeue
,
but
all
the
Gods
in
the
heauens
did
io●…ne
to gether
at
the
making
and
●…ngendring
of
this
knig●…t
,
and
did
vse
him
in
all
their
powers
and
strengthe
,
for
that
comming
bether
&
to
be
lord
ouer
all
these
thy
countries
kingdomes
&
ioueraigne
Emperour
,
to
be
equall
with
them
.
Then
the
emperour
saide
,
I
doo
ver●…ly
beleeue
the
same
for
as
the
high
gods
hath
brought
me
hether
this
knight
,
for
to
marie
him
with
my
daughter
,
&
to
be
lord
ouer
this
my
high
estate
,
euen
so
had
they
great
care
&
consideration
,
for
to
make
him
of
so
g●…eat
courage
,
aboue
all
them
that
are
in
the
world
.
And
I
so
glad
for
to
receiue
him
to
be
my
son
,
that
ther
is
no
other
ioy
,
that
I
doo
d●…sire
nor
looke
for
.
So
whilest
that
the
emperour
,
&
the
Troian
Onstedes
,
was
talking
haereof
,
there
entered
into
the
great
place
,
twelue
giants
,
all
together
of
so
huge
bignes
,
that
they
seemed
to
be
towers
,
&
all
mounted
vpon
mighty
elephants
,
&
armed
with
armour
made
of
scalles
&
bones
,
bordered
with
with
fine
gold
&
precious
stones
,
with
crownes
of
siluer
very
curiously
wrought
,
vpon
their
helmes
,
&
their
elophants
were
couered
with
skins
,
&
lined
with
very
fine
white
〈◊〉
,
which
did
become
them
very
well
.
And
ther
entred
in
after
them
twelue
dwarffes
,
of
the
Pigmeres
,
which
were
their
pages
,
and
all
mounted
vpon
Elophants
,
who
carried
theyr
speares
&
shields
,
which
were
of
so
great
hugenes
,
that
they
were
all
together
hid
vnder
them
,
that
no
part
of
them
could
be
perseued
,
in
such
sort
,
that
beholding
the
mightie
hugenes
of
the
one
,
&
the
small
stature
of
the
other
,
might
very
well
be
considered
the
great
contrarietie
that
is
in
the
operation
of
nature
.
Then
so
soone
as
they
were
entred
in
,
the
emperour
straight
waies
sent
word
to
know
what
they
were
&
it
was
giuen
to
vnderstand
,
that
they
were
the
kings
of
the
orientall
Ilands
,
which
were
very
many
&
very
aboundant
,
full
of
gold
&
siluer
&
precious
stones
,
&
wheras
all
the
whole
nation
,
as
well
women
as
men
,
were
giants
.
Although
not
far
from
them
was
the
country
of
pigmeres
:
&
for
that
these
kings
did
vnderstand
of
these
great
feasts
&
triumphs
,
they
were
agreed
altogether
to
〈◊〉
&
see
them
,
ech
of
them
beleeuing
▪
that
twenty
of
the
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
that
might
be
ioyned
together
,
were
not
able
to
equall
themselues
vnto
his
great
force
&
strengeth
.
And
to
say
the
truth
,
they
were
the
greatest
&
valiantest
in
all
the
world
,
for
that
they
were
of
the
naturall
generation
of
giants
,
for
others
ther
be
abroad
in
countries
,
that
although
they
séeme
to
be
as
big
as
they
be
,
●…et
are
they
not
of
the
nation
that
they
be
of
.
When
these
twelue
G●…ants
were
entred
into
the
great
&
mightie
place
,
all
the
whole
company
wondered
greatly
,
for
they
were
the
greatest
that
euer
they
had
séene
,
and
beeing
mounted
vpon
these
Elophants
,
they
séemed
an
vnusuall
thing
to
●…ust
with
,
&
no
knight
would
iust
with
them
,
for
that
twentie
knights
together
were
not
sufficient
once
to
mooue
them
.
So
straightwaies
one
of
them
put
himselfe
right
against
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
with
a
speare
in
his
hand
,
of
so
huge
bignes
,
that
it
séemed
to
be
the
mast
of
a
ship
,
who
shaked
it
with
such
vnusuall
force
of
his
arme
,
that
all
men
mused
at
it
,
&
seeing
him
so
great
&
fearefull
,
ther
were
few
in
all
that
place
but
were
very
sorry
to
sée
him
put
himself
against
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
but
especially
the
Emperour
Alicandro
,
and
much
more
the
princesse
his
daughter
,
who
could
not
abide
to
sée
hir
knight
put
in
that
great
perill
,
but
sodai●…ly
lost
hir
coulour
&
fell
in
a
sound
in
the
armes
of
hir
ladies
&
damsels
,
who
had
very
much
to
do
before
they
could
bring
hir
againe
vnto
hir selfe
.
But
this
worthy
&
couragious
knight
,
who
made
no
wonder
at
the
hugenes
of
the
Gian●…
but
choosing
the
greatest
and
strongest
speare
that
was
〈◊〉
a
great
number
that
were
ther
,
and
setting
spurs
vnto
his
swift
horse
and
with
so
great
●…ury
,
that
it
seemed
like
a
whirle
winde
,
he
went
towardes
that
mightie
Gyant
,
who
so
fast
as
the
Elophant
could
runne
,
came
against
him
▪
and
ioyning
together
in
the
middest
of
the
〈◊〉
,
the
speares
point
of
the
Giant
did
pearce
through
the
shield
of
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
and
by
reason
that
his
armour
w●…s
the
finest
and
the
strongest
that
was
in
all
the
world
,
the
speare
could
not
pearce
it
,
but
glanced
on
the
one
side
,
so
that
the
speare
apeered
at
the
back
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
with
his
shield
vpon
the
point
,
for
that
the
buckles
thereof
were
broken
,
and
vpon
a
sodaine
in
that
place
was
there
a
g●…eat
rumor
,
&
shriks
amongst
the
people
,
thinking
that
he
had
ben
slaine
,
but
the
val●…ant
knight
who
had
not
his
equall
in
all
the
world
,
determined
ther
to
shew
his
bountye
,
made
his
enter
in
such
sort
vpon
the
broad
breast
of
that
dreadfull
Giant
,
by
reason
that
the
speare
was
great
&
strong
,
&
beefore
it
did
breake
he
ouerthrew
him
&
his
Elephant
to
the
ground
,
whose
fall
made
so
great
a
noise
,
as
though
a
whole
tower
had
fallen
downe
,
&
he
procéeded
forwards
on
his
furious
course
as
though
he
had
receiued
no
encounter
at
all
,
which
made
all
those
that
were
present
to
wonder
at
that
mightie
blow
.
Then
the
valiant
Oristedes
said
vnto
the
emperour
:
I
doo
beléeue
that
if
the
ancestors
of
this
knight
,
the
gréekes
,
and
mine
of
the
●…roians
,
which
were
together
at
the
siege
of
Troy
,
were
now
aliue
,
not
one
of
them
should
get
any
honour
by
this
knight
,
neither
could
they
doo
such
meruailes
in
knighthood
,
for
that
if
this
we
haue
séene
,
should
be
related
vnto
vs
in
histories
,
are
giuen
vs
to
vnderstand
by
others
,
the
most
part
therof
we
neuer
should
nor
could
,
beeleeue
,
but
rather
iudge
it
to
be
a
thing
impossible
.
Of
a
truth
said
the
emperour
,
your
troian
ancestors
were
very
good
&
singuler
knights
,
but
yet
I
dooe
beléeue
that
this
knight
is
better
then
euer
they
were
,
&
being
in
this
communication
,
the
second
giant
came
foorth
to
iust
with
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
who
taking
another
shield
,
as
fast
as
his
horse
could
run
moued
against
him
,
&
so
mightely
they
made
their
encounter
,
that
the
speare
of
the
giant
,
by
reason
that
it
was
big
,
and
chanced
a
full
blow
on
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
that
it
made
him
to
decline
backewards
somewhat
,
&
brake
not
,
but
glanced
vpwards
without
dooing
any
other
harme
,
so
that
hee
setteled
himselfe
,
but
he
made
his
encounter
with
the
Gyaunt
so
strongly
,
that
vnhorsing
him
from
his
Elephant
,
he
threw
him
to
the
ground
,
and
the
good
Knight
passed
forwards
,
leauing
the
giant
with
so
great
anger
,
that
the
smoke
c●…me
out
at
his
beauer
,
as
from
a
chimney
with
fire
.
Then
straight
waies
came
foorth
the
third
Gyant
,
whom
this
valyaunt
knight
dyd
ouerthrow
vnto
the
ground
▪
in
the
same
order
as
hee
dyd
the
other
▪
in
●…uch
sort
hee
perseuered
in
his
valiaunt
bounty
,
that
the
first
part
of
the
day
lacked
to
conclude
,
when
that
of
the
twelue
giants
,
hee
had
ouerthrowe●…
a
leauen
of
them
to
ground
,
without
once
moouing
in
his
Saddle
at
the
encounter
of
any
of
them
,
putting
so
great
wonder
in
all
them
which
beeheld
him
,
that
seeing
it
beefore
their
eies
,
they
thought
it
a
thing
impossible
to
bee
béeleeued
.
And
the
faire
Princesse
Lindabrides
seeing
hir
knight
cléere
from
so
mightie
encounters
,
was
no
lesse
ioyfull
,
as
to
sée
him
so
far
absent
from
the
presence
of
the
fayre
Princesse
Claridiana
,
although
shée
was
not
in
full
securitie
in
séeing
the
last
Gyaunt
which
remayned
,
who
séemed
vnto
hir
to
bée
the
best
and
most
wonderfull
,
and
so
it
was
of
truth
,
for
that
this
was
the
most
brauest
&
strongest
of
them
all
,
a●…d
although
they
were
all
Kings
,
euery
one
of
them
ouer
his
Iland
,
yet
by
reason
of
his
great
brauenesse
and
mightie
force
,
they
were
all
subiect
vnto
this
,
and
they
estéemed
him
for
theyr
Lord
and
principall
amongst
them
,
and
in
signe
and
token
thereof
,
this
had
his
crowne
of
fine
golde
meruailous
richly
wrought
with
precious
stones
,
and
the
other
were
all
of
siluer
,
and
hee
was
called
Bradaman
Campeon
,
which
was
as
much
to
say
in
theyr
language
,
mighty
king
,
Captayne
,
or
Champyon
,
and
was
Lord
ouer
the
Iland
Serpentaria
,
which
is
the
most
biggest
and
principallest
amongst
all
the
Orientall
Ilands
.
The
wise
Artemidoro
sayth
,
that
this
was
hée
that
dyd
compile
the
mightie
déedes
of
he
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
in
those
parts
whereas
this
Bradaman
dwelt
,
was
the
most
mightiest
and
valyauntest
Gyaunt
that
euer
was
seene
,
and
hee
who
had
most
power
ouer
all
the
Gyaunts
of
the
Orient
all
Ilands
,
for
that
by
reason
of
the
great
fiercenesse
of
that
nation
,
there
was
neuer
any
that
had
so
much
power
as
to
bring
them
into
subiection
,
but
in
the
time
of
this
Bradaman
Campeon
,
they
were
constrayned
to
bée
subiect
vnto
him
,
in
such
sort
,
that
in
onely
hearing
him
named
,
they
did
tremble
and
quake
,
and
in
respect
of
him
,
they
did
not
onely
take
him
to
bée
theyr
Lord
,
but
did
also
serue
and
obey
all
such
kings
as
were
put
in
by
him
into
any
of
those
Ilands
,
and
would
not
suffer
any
for
to
raigne
longer
then
it
was
his
will
and
pleasure
.
This
great
Campeon
seeing
his
strong
companyons
so
ouerthrowen
and
loose
the
victorie
,
hée
receiued
thereat
neyther
sorrow
nor
griefe
,
but
was
rather
very
glad
and
ioyfull
,
to
sée
the
great
valour
of
that
knight
,
for
that
(
as
he
hoped
to
)
to
ouercome
him
,
he
might
then
the
better
shew
foorth
his
great
bountie
,
although
it
seemed
vnto
him
to
get
verie
little
honour
in
ouercomming
of
him
,
considering
the
great
encounters
and
iusts
which
hée
had
made
beefore
with
so
many
Gyants
and
Knights
,
and
approching
vnto
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
vpon
his
mighty
Elophant
,
which
seemed
to
bée
a
great
tower
,
hée
sayde
.
Sir
Knight
,
thou
oughtest
to
haue
thy selfe
in
great
estimation
,
for
that
thou
hast
with
so
great
lightnesse
ouerthrowen
my
companions
,
which
are
the
most
strongest
Gyants
in
all
my
Kingdomes
,
and
for
that
thou
shalt
not
deceiue
thy selfe
of
thy
victorie
,
the
which
thou
hast
got
of
them
,
neyther
thy
bountie
to
make
thée
so
hardie
for
to
enter
with
mée
alone
into
contention
,
I
will
giue
thée
to
vnderstand
that
I
am
Bradaman
Campeon
,
Lord
ouer
the
Orientall
Ilands
,
hée
that
if
all
the
Knights
in
the
world
were
ioyned
together
in
the
〈◊〉
agaynst
him
,
hée
dooth
thinke
to
put
them
vnto
the
sword
first
,
beefore
they
should
ouercome
him
by
armes
.
Likewise
●…or
that
I
would
not
that
the
reproch
of
my
companions
▪
should
bée
left
vnreuenged
,
I
will
giue
thée
this
libertie
,
for
to
choose
fiftie
knights
of
the
best
that
thou
canst
find
in
all
this
company
,
and
that
you
come
all
together
to
combat
with
mee
,
and
not
to
let
mée
take
any
rest
till
such
time
as
I
doo
kill
and
vanquish
you
all
.
The
great
brauerie
of
the
Gyant
for
all
that
,
dyd
not
put
any
feare
into
this
worthy
knight
,
although
he
séemed
vnto
him
,
to
be
one
of
the
most
deformedst
of
stature
that
euer
he
saw
in
all
his
life
:
yet
his
valyant
courage
was
such
,
that
with
the
help
of
god
,
he
hoped
to
abate
his
pride
,
&
with
that
confidence
he
answered
&
said
:
I
do
giue
thée
great
thanks
Bramadan
,
for
this
tale
which
thou
hast
tolde
vnto
mee
although
(
for
to
giue
occasion
to
haue
thée
in
greater
estimation
)
it
had
been
better
,
that
an
other
had
giuen
mee
to
vnderstand
of
thy
great
fame
,
and
not
told
me
by
thy selfe
.
For
that
there
can
nothing
be
wel
done
,
when
that
it
is
aduanced
and
set
foorth
by
the
d●…er
thereof
,
but
must
néedes
loose
a
great
part
of
the
●…ertue
,
and
touching
that
,
whereas
thou
sayst
,
that
I
should
choose
vnto
mée
fifty
Knights
for
to
help
mée
,
I
giue
thée
no
thanckes
for
the
same
,
for
that
I
am
fullie
perswaded
,
that
thou
doost
it
for
vaine-glorie
,
and
to
boast
thy selfe
,
more
than
for
any
honour
or
profit
thou
doost
meane
towards
mée
:
therefore
take
vnto
thée
thy
weapon
and
come
forth
against
mée
,
for
with
the
fauour
and
help
of
God
,
one
of
lesser
stature
then
thou
art
,
although
his
better
seruant
did
quell
a
Gyant
as
thou
art
:
so
likewise
may
I
ouercome
thee
:
for
that
thou
mayst
the
better
know
the
great
miracles
of
god
,
and
how
mighty
they
are
.
Bradaman
,
who
very
well
vnderstood
,
what
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
had
sayd
,
makeing
a
great
laughter
,
hée
sayd
:
Knight
,
if
beefore
I
had
thée
in
reputatio●…
of
valyaunt
,
I
now
accompt
thée
for
simple
and
foolish
,
for
that
thou
wilt
attempt
things
that
are
béeyond
nature
,
and
vnpossible
:
so
that
I
doo
accompt
it
rather
to
folly
then
to
any
manhoode
or
strength
:
take
into
thy
companie
the
Knights
which
I
doo
will
thee
,
otherwise
it
will
bée
a
great
reproch
to
mée
,
when
it
shall
bée
knowen
in
my
Countrie
,
that
I
doo
take
a
speare
to
iust
with
one
alone
Knight
.
Then
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
sayd
,
it
is
more
honour
to
ouercome
one
knight
,
than
to
bée
ouercome
by
one
hundreth
.
And
if
in
thy
Countrie
it
bée
a
great
shame
for
to
iust
agaynst
one
alone
Knight
,
so
lykewise
〈◊〉
my
countrie
a
great
dishonour
,
when
it
shall
bee
knowen
,
that
for
to
combat
with
thée
I
séeke
companie
and
help
,
therefore
I
will
combate
with
thee
alone
if
thou
wilt
,
if
not
,
make
thy
returne
backe
agayne
from
whence
thou
camst
,
and
let
other
good
Knights
come
vnto
the
Iust
,
who
dooth
thincke
long
for
the
Same
.
Bradaman
at
these
words
was
very
angrie
,
and
lykewise
for
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
beecause
hée
would
continue
with
him
alone
,
and
as
one
amazed
hee
remayned
not
knowing
what
to
dooe
,
one
way
séeming
to
bée
great
necessitie
in
him
to
combate
with
him
alone
,
and
an
other
way
great
reproach
and
shame
,
to
leaue
his
companions
quarrell
vnreuenged
.
The
Emperour
and
all
those
th●…t
were
with
him
dyd
well
heare
and
vnderstand
all
that
passed
beetwixt
them
,
not
a
little
wondering
at
the
fiercenesse
of
that
monstrous
and
valiant
Gyant
,
and
dyd
greatly
feare
his
strength
and
vnreasonable
stature
,
séeming
vnto
them
vnpossible
that
anie
humane
Knight
should
ouercome
him
.
Now
when
Bradaman
saw
that
his
brauenesse
nor
importunations
dyd
little
preuayle
him
to
perswade
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
not
to
enter
into
battayle
with
him
alone
,
with
great
furie
hée
tourned
the
raynes
of
his
mightie
Elephant
,
and
broching
him
with
his
spurrs
,
hée
〈◊〉
:
Well
,
séeing
that
thy
follie
hath
so
disquieted
mée
,
if
all
the
Gods
in
the
Heauens
should
ioyne
together
with
t●…eyr
powers
for
to
succour
and
aide
thée
,
yet
shall
they
not
bee
sufficient
for
to
deliuer
thee
out
of
my
hands
,
and
more
hee
s●…yd
:
O●…
〈◊〉
and
reprochfull
Bradaman
,
at
the
mensioning
of
whose
name
all
the
whole
earth
almost
doth
tremble
,
and
now
one
alone
knight
so
valiuant
and
hardie
,
that
hee
dare
put
himselfe
in
the
field
against
mee
:
how
and
which
way
might
I
take
reuengement
of
this
so
great
o●…trage
.
And
in
saying
these
words
with
a
mightie
great
speare
in
his
hand
,
which
seemed
to
bee
as
bigge
as
a
Pine
Tree
,
and
as
fa●…t
as
his
Elephant
could
runne
,
hée
went
agaynst
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
who
calling
vpon
God
for
h●…s
ayde
and
●…uccour
,
lykewyse
ranne
agaynst
him
,
with
so
great
swiftnesse
,
that
heauen
and
earth
seemed
to
tremble
,
so
that
the
lookers
on
had
great
feare
to
beehold
him
,
●…arrying
to
see
the
successe
of
that
rigorous
encounter
,
the
which
was
such
,
and
with
so
great
force
and
strength
▪
that
theyr
speares
(
although
they
were
very
big
)
were
sheeuered
all
to
péeces
without
any
moouing
either
of
them
in
theyr
saddles
till
such
time
as
they
came
to
méete
together
with
theyr
bodyes
and
horses
.
Then
the
good
Horse
Cornerino
with
his
sharpe
and
hard
horne
,
broched
the
El●…phaunt
in
the
middest
of
the
breast
,
in
such
sort
,
that
wounding
h●…m
very
s●…re
,
hee
ouerthrew
him
dead
to
the
ground
with
his
master
Bramadan
vpon
him
,
who
gaue
such
a
blow
vppon
the
earth
with
his
fall
,
that
it
séemed
a
mightie
Tower
to
haue
fallen
hée
made
so
great
noyse
.
Likewise
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
with
his
Horse
béeing
tormented
with
the
mightie
encounter
of
Bradaman
and
his
Elephaunt
,
almost
astonied
they
came
both
to
the
ground
,
yet
with
a
tryse
this
couragious
knight
rose
vp
vpon
his
feete
,
&
with
his
swoord
deawen
in
his
hand
,
and
his
shéeld
on
his
arme
,
hée
went
agaynst
Bradaman
,
who
greatly
amazed
at
that
stronge
encounter
,
was
vpon
his
feete
,
with
a
great
bat
of
yron
in
both
his
hands
,
at
the
ende
whereof
was
hanged
by
strong
chaines
of
pron
foure
great
peliets
of
the
same
mettall
,
the
which
hée
●…long
about
his
head
,
flourishing
with
such
●…urie
to
see
himselfe
ouerthrowen
at
the
first
encounter
by
one
alone
Knight
,
that
hée
wished
all
the
whole
place
to
bee
fu●…l
of
Knights
,
and
agaynst
him
,
that
hee
might
the
better
execute
his
fury
,
and
comming
nigh
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
with
great
fury
and
forc●…
hee
let
dri●…e
at
him
so
terrible
a
blow
,
that
the
bigge
pellets
on
his
bat
whirled
in
the
ayre
,
and
made
so
great
a
noyse
,
that
there
was
none
in
all
the
place
,
but
onely
in
seeing
of
him
so
fierce
and
outragious
,
but
were
meruailously
afraide
.
But
this
mighty
and
valiant
knight
,
seeing
so
terrible
and
mortall
a
blow
comming
vpon
him
,
with
great
discretion
made
shew
as
though
hee
would
abide
the
fury
thereof
,
but
yet
at
such
time
as
hée
would
discharge
the
same
,
by
reason
that
the
Graunt
was
●…rry
h●…gh
,
and
the
blo●…
stroke
ouerthwart
▪
hee
with
great
〈◊〉
st●…oped
downe
to
the
ground
,
in
such
sort
,
that
the
blow
went
ouer
him
without
touching
him
any
thing
at
all
.
And
with
the
great
fury
of
the
bat
and
the
pellets
,
it
made
the
Gyant
to
turne
twise
about
with
all
his
body
.
In
the
meane
time
this
valiaunt
knight
,
did
strike
him
such
a
blow
vpon
his
leg
,
that
what
with
the
great
strength
wherewith
it
was
stroken
,
and
the
finenesse
of
his
swoord
,
it
cut
his
armour
and
the
flesh
vnto
the
hard
bone
,
whereat
issued
very
much
blood
,
that
the
earth
was
all
to
bée
sprinkled
therewith
.
But
when
that
Bradaman
,
felt
himselfe
wounded
,
and
saw
his
aduersarie
beefore
●…im
,
with
so
great
courage
,
his
wrath
,
anger
and
mortall
courage
was
such
that
hée
might
bée
compared
vnto
one
of
the
infernall
furies
,
for
that
ther
came
foorth
at
his
visor
so
much
smoake
and
sparkles
of
fyer
,
as
though
it
had
beene
full
of
gunne
pouder
and
Brimstone
.
And
with
so
great
brauenesse
,
that
he
put
great
feare
in
all
them
that
dyd
béehould
him
,
with
both
his
hands
,
hée
béegan
to
throw
that
great
and
heauie
bat
about
his
head
,
with
so
great
force
and
swiftnesse
,
that
it
séemed
to
make
a
round
cerkle
,
and
the
waighty
pellets
of
yron
that
hung
thereat
,
made
a
whirling
noyse
in
the
ayre
.
And
so
with
this
dreadfull
semblance
,
he
went
agaynst
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
béeing
very
certayne
and
sure
,
that
if
any
of
those
pellets
,
should
fasten
vpon
him
,
that
it
would
breake
him
all
to
péeces
.
But
hée
who
in
the
lyke
extremities
his
hart
neuer
fayle●…
him
,
séeing
that
it
dyd
accomplish
him
to
〈◊〉
from
his
aduersarie
,
or
else
to
abide
that
daungerous
blow
,
from
the
which
it
was
not
possible
to
escape
the
death
,
if
any
of
those
pellets
did
chance
to
hit
him
.
At
such
time
as
hée
came
nigh
him
,
&
that
the
pellets
had
passed
once
about
whi●…ling
hard
by
his
v●…sar
of
his
helmr
,
beefore
that
hee
could
come
about
againe
,
with
great
lightnesse
,
hee
put
himselfe
within
the
force
of
the
blow
,
and
●…oyned
with
the
Gyant
,
in
such
sort
,
that
when
hee
came
about
with
his
swelling
blow
agayne
,
the
pellets
missed
their
purpose
,
but
with
the
hand
end
of
the
club
hée
stroke
the
Knight
of
the
Sun
with
so
great
strength
that
hée
thought
verely
,
that
all
his
armour
and
bones
had
béene
broke
a
sunder
in
the
midst
:
and
by
reson
of
the
grea●…
strength
and
swiftnesse
wherewith
the
pellets
flew
about
,
was
the
occasion
that
the
bat
flew
out
of
the
Giants
hands
,
and
●…ell
a
great
way
from
him
on
the
ground
.
The
which
when
the
good
Knight
saw
,
beeing
very
glad
,
hée
cleered
himselfe
from
him
,
and
said
:
I
promise
thee
from
this
time
forwards
,
thou
shalt
not
profit
thy selfe
any
more
of
this
thy
dreadfull
weapon
against
mee
.
Then
the
Gyaunt
who
made
no
reckoning
thereof
,
drew
out
a
great
broade
fauchon
the
which
hée
had
hanging
at
his
●…ide
,
and
saide
:
knight
,
doo
not
incourage
the
selfe
any
more
for
this
,
that
if
all
the
heauens
and
〈◊〉
were
ioyned
together
in
thy
fa●…our
,
yet
should
they
not
be
sufficient
for
to
deliuer
thy
life
out
of
my
hands
.
And
in
saying
these
words
,
hée
went
vnto
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
for
to
strike
him
a
blow
vppon
his
head
,
the
which
was
done
so
quickly
,
that
the
Knight
had
no
leasure
for
to
cléere
himselfe
,
but
warding
it
with
his
swoord
and
shéelde
in
the
best
wise
hée
could
,
and
chauncing
vnder
his
swoord
,
hée
●…loue
his
shéeld
a
sunder
in
the
middest
,
and
the
force
of
the
blow
descended
downe
vpon
his
Healme
with
so
great
strength
,
that
it
made
him
to
stoup
with
his
knées
&
hands
.
downe
to
the
ground
,
and
if
his
healme
had
not
béene
won●…erfull
good
,
at
that
same
blow
hée
had
clouen
him
downe
vnto
the
girdle
,
yet
for
all
this
,
that
valyaunt
knight
faynted
nothing
at
all
,
but
with
great
lightnesse
hée
arose
vp
a●…ayne
,
and
by
reason
that
the
Gyaunt
was
of
great
height
,
hée
could
not
procure
to
wound
him
from
the
wast
vpwards
,
●…herefore
hée
tooke
his
Swoord
in
both
his
hands
and
stroke
●…im
such
an
ouerthwart
blow
,
vpon
the
left
leg
,
that
hée
cut
〈◊〉
harneys
and
flesh
to
the
hard
bone
,
and
made
a
grea●…
wound
then
the
other
beefore
,
whereout
there
issued
ve●…
much
blood
,
whereat
Bradaman
recouered
so
great
out●…agious
fury
,
that
hée
wished
that
all
the
great
place
were
●…ll
of
knights
to
contend
against
him
,
wheron
he
might
the
〈◊〉
execute
his
blow
,
for
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
●…ith
his
great
lightnesse
and
force
dyd
cleere
himselfe
from
〈◊〉
,
in
such
sort
,
that
it
was
a
great
meruayle
for
him
to
〈◊〉
one
sure
blow
vpon
him
,
which
was
the
occasion
that
the
battayle
endured
more
then
two
houres
béetwixt
them
,
with
so
great
force
and
strength
,
that
there
was
no
iudgement
to
bée
giuen
béetweene
them
who
should
haue
the
victorie
.
All
those
which
béeheld
this
braue
battell
were
very
much
amazed
at
the
fury
and
force
of
Bradaman
,
and
much
more
at
the
bountie
of
that
valyant
knight
,
&
how
hee
could
so
long
endure
agaynst
him
.
Then
the
Emperour
Alicandro
(
although
hee
had
great
doubt
of
the
battaile
)
yet
hée
meruayled
very
much
,
and
sayd
vnto
Oristedes
,
the
singular
bountie
of
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
is
to
bée
wondered
at
,
who
likewise
with
words
of
great
prayse
sayde
,
that
there
was
not
a
knight
in
all
the
world
that
in
bounty
&
strength
was
lyke
vnto
him
.
In
this
time
the
fayre
Princesse
with
the
out
ward
shew
of
hir
heauy
countenaunce
,
and
the
going
and
comming
of
hir
rubicond
coulour
,
gaue
to
vnderstand
what
great
sorrow
and
griefe
hir
heart
receyued
for
to
see
hir
welbeloued
knight
put
into
so
great
perill
and
trouble
,
and
occupyed
hir selfe
in
no
other
thing
,
but
praying
vnto
hir
Gods
for
to
giue
him
the
victorie
,
at
which
time
the
splendant
Sun
drew
nigh
vnto
the
Occident
regions
,
and
the
sad
darknesse
of
the
night
began
to
couer
the
earth
,
when
the
furious
Bradaman
and
the
good
Knight
of
the
Sunne
had
endured
thrée
houres
in
the
battayle
,
without
taking
anie
rest
,
yet
at
that
time
they
stroke
so
fierce
and
furious
one
agaynst
an
other
,
as
though
it
dyd
but
as
then
béegin
,
and
Bradaman
laboured
with
great
courage
for
to
fasten
one
sure
blow
vpon
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
,
beeléeuing
verelie
ther
with
to
make
an
end
of
that
battayle
,
but
all
that
euer
hee
dyd
procure
to
dooe
,
was
to
little
purpose
,
for
that
this
worthie
knight
knowing
the
great
perill
and
daunger
of
his
mortall
blowes
,
dyd
procure
by
all
meanes
to
defende
and
cleere
himselfe
from
them
and
with
great
fury
and
lightnesse
hee
dyd
still
strike
and
wound
him
on
his
big
legs
in
such
sort
,
that
although
his
armour
was
made
of
fine
and
hard
bones
of
Elephaunts
,
yet
when
the
night
drew
on
,
hée
had
more
then
ten
wounds
on
them
,
whereout
ranne
so
great
abundance
of
blood
,
that
all
the
place
was
baraye●…
therwith
,
as
though
ther
had
ben
two
bulls
slaine
,
the
quantitie
,
was
so
much
by
reason
whereof
the
giants
force
and
strength
abated
,
in
suth
sort
,
that
he
did
not
execute
his
blewes
with
so
great
strength
as
he
did
at
the
first
,
the
which
being
knowen
by
the
knight
of
the
Sun
,
his
fury
&
●…orce
increased
the
more
▪
&
Bradaman
fainted
by
the
losse
of
so
much
b●…ood
,
&
being
without
all
power
&
strength
,
he
fell
downe
vnto
the
ground
,
whose
fall
was
so
terrible
&
heauie
,
that
it
made
the
whole
pallace
,
with
all
the
towers
to
shake
,
which
was
as
great
●…oy
&
pleasure
vnto
them
that
did
behold
it
,
as
it
was
sorrow
&
griefe
vnto
all
the
giants
,
the
companions
of
Bradaman
,
who
were
ready
to
burst
with
pure
anger
,
to
see
their
lord
to
be
ouer
come
&
loose
the
victory
,
&
the
knight
of
the
Sun
giuing
thanks
vnto
almighty
god
for
that
great
victory
,
went
vnto
Bradaman
,
●…
pulled
off
his
helme
to
sée
if
he
were
dead
or
not
,
and
when
he
saw
that
he
was
but
in
a
sound
,
he
commanded
straight
waies
that
he
should
be
caried
from
thence
,
wheras
he
might
be
cured
of
his
wounds
.
The
which
was
straight
way
done
,
and
his
wounds
washed
and
bound
vp
,
&
found
that
he
was
in
no
perill
of
death
,
although
if
the
knight
of
the
Sun
had
knowen
at
that
time
what
would
haue
hapned
,
with
a
very
good
will
he
would
haue
c●…t
off
his
head
,
before
he
would
haue
commanded
him
to
b●…
〈◊〉
,
for
that
euery
drop
of
blood
which
was
ther
spilt
,
cost
full
deerly
the
emperour
of
Greece
.
Thus
this
braue
&
perillous
battaile
being
concluded
,
the
horse
of
the
knight
of
the
Sun
was
straight
wa●…es
brought
vnto
him
,
&
〈◊〉
theron
,
all
those
kings
&
mighty
lords
came
for
to
beare
him
company
▪
with
such
gallant
noise
of
musick
,
that
it
shewed
the
great
malestie
of
those
kings
&
Princes
that
were
ther
present
.
In
this
sort
they
bare
this
knight
company
till
hee
came
vnto
the
mightie
pallace
,
dooing
him
such
honour
as
the
like
was
neuer
done
vnto
any
Prince
or
Knight
,
and
beeing
entered
into
the
pallace
,
in
company
with
those
Kings
,
●…ordes
,
and
knights
,
the
mightie
Emperour
Alicandro
came
〈◊〉
into
the
galleries
for
to
receiue
him
,
&
embracing
him
with
great
loue
he
〈◊〉
:
Oh
my
doore
&
weibeloued
son
,
how
happy
&
ioyfull
was
that
day
when
first
I
knew
you
,
I
may
acco●…nt
my selfe
happy
in
that
I
had
a
daughter
for
to
deserue
so
●…aliant
a
knight
.
Then
the
knigh●…
of
the
Sunne
knéeling
d●…wne
before
him
,
sai●…
:
In
this
am
I
onely
bound
to
giue
great
thanks
vnto
God
,
&
to
acc●…unt
myselfe
happy
&
fortun●…te
,
for
that
I
acknowledge
for
my
father
so
soueraign●…
a
lord
.
And
being
in
this
conference
,
the
empresse
came
&
embraced
him
with
great
loue
,
although
vntill
that
time
shée
did
with
him
euill
for
the
great
loue
which
she
b●…re
vnto
hir
son
the
prince
Meridian
,
yet
hauing
seene
that
day
the
great
meruailes
by
him
done
,
hir
mallice
was
turned
into
great
loue
,
&
accounted
hir selfe
happy
in
obtaining
such
a
son
in
law
▪
Then
they
altogether
entered
into
a
very
great
quadra●…
,
wheras
he
was
vnarmed
,
&
being
supper
time
,
the
fair●…
princ●…s
Lindabrides
was
brought
thether
with
great
torch
light
,
&
much
musi●…ke
,
whereas
they
sup●…ed
altogether
with
great
ioy
&
〈◊〉
,
the
knight
of
the
Sun
&
the
faire
princes
Lindabrides
were
set
together
,
where●…s
passed
betwixt
them
many
amorous
questions
,
the
which
did
great●…ye
increase
their
amorous
desires
,
&
by
reason
of
the
great
quantity
of
lights
that
were
in
the
quadran
,
their
beauties
dyd
redouble
more
then
before
,
&
gaue
great
contentm●…nt
vnto
all
the
lookers
on
.
So
after
that
they
had
s●…pped
,
began
the
feasts
of
dancing
,
in
the
which
the
knight
of
the
Sun
did
〈◊〉
with
the
princes
,
with
so
notable
&
excellent
grace
,
with
the
like
disposition
,
that
it
was
a
thing
worth●…
of
beholding
.
Likewise
th●…se
kings
&
lords
did
dance
with
the
l●…dies
and
damsells
of
the
princesse
,
who
were
very
faire
,
in
the
which
mirth
and
pastime
they
passed
away
the
greatest
part
o●…
the
night
,
and
for
that
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
was
verye
wearie
of
his
great
trauayle
the
past
,
the
Emperour
would
not
that
that
night
they
should
bée
made
sure
together
,
but
commanded
it
to
be
referred
till
the
next
day
following
▪
Thus
midnight
béeing
past
,
all
men
went
vnto
their
rest
and
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
at
two
of
the
clocke
in
the
morning
tooke
his
leaue
of
the
Princesse
Lindabrides
,
with
great
sorrow
&
griefe
,
for
that
his
desired
glorye
was
put
off
and
delaied
till
the
next
day
.
So
béeing
departe●…
the
one
from
the
other
,
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
was
carryed
into
his
chamber
,
wheras
hée
euer
lay
since
his
comming
thether
,
and
béeing
laid
in
his
rich
bed
,
he
passed
away
that
night
,
as
shall
be
tolde
you
in
the
first
Chapter
of
the
next
booke
.
Thus
endeth
the
second
part
of
the
first
booke
of
the
Mirrour
of
Knighthood
.
