Who
Brauorant
was
,
and
why
he
left
the
Serpentarian
Isle
,
to
passe
into
Grecia
.
WHen
the
dreadfull
report
of
cruell
Armes
and
Warre
(
mentioned
in
the
third
Booke
of
the
first
part
of
this
Historie
)
was
noysed
through
all
the
Pagan
Nations
,
assembling
,
and
in
one
vniting
their
seuerall
puissant
Hostes
,
vnder
the
conduct
and
commaund
of
Alicandro
,
mightie
Emperour
of
the
Sythians
,
marching
vnder
his
Ensignes
against
the
Grecians
,
with
intent
of
mortall
reuenge
,
vtterly
to
subuert
that
Monarchy
,
leuelling
Constantinople
the
seate
of
their
Empyre
with
the
earth
,
with
perpetuall
desolation
.
Thither
then
to
these
euer
memorable
Warres
,
accompanied
this
Scythian
Monarche
,
one
that
for
strength
,
valour
and
high
déeds
,
held
ouer
all
Pagan
Knights
and
mightie
Gyants
,
chiefe
soueraigntie
,
in
all
military
actions
,
as
being
of
the
fearcest
,
sole
supreme
Lord
,
called
the
Gran
Bradamante
Campeon
:
who
procuring
to
eternize
the
memory
of
his
linage
,
desired
to
haue
a
sonne
so
absolute
in
all
accomplishments
,
that
ioyfully
he
might
passe
this
life
,
with
assurance
that
none
but
he
should
imperate
all
those
Orient
Isles
,
in
whose
Conquest
he
had
shead
so
much
humane
blood
.
To
effect
which
desire
,
he
begot
the
most
mightie
Bramarant
,
of
himselfe
the
onely
homecide
:
as
Lirgandeo
in
the
first
Booke
of
the
second
part
hath
recorded
.
With
like
intent
as
the
Father
,
departed
the
sonne
,
for
ere
hee
left
his
Countrey
,
hée
procured
it
,
being
in
loue
with
a
Gyantesse
,
whose
fame
for
valour
,
did
penetrate
the
vaultie
skies
.
With
this
went
hée
wondrous
gladly
to
spill
so
much
Grecian
blood
,
where
both
Father
and
Sonne
founde
theyr
Sepulchres
in
the
Gréeke
fields
.
Now
then
dooth
Galtener
record
,
that
composed
these
two
Parts
,
howe
the
Gyantesse
conceiued
by
the
Famous
Bramarante
,
and
at
the
expiration
of
her
time
of
trauell
,
was
deliuered
of
a
childe
,
for
strengthe
moste
admirable
,
if
not
vnmatchable
expectation
.
For
nourishing
and
bringing
him
vp
as
the
proud
father
was
,
not
with
humane
milke
,
but
of
Ounces
,
Tygers
,
and
Lyonesses
,
whereof
that
Island
yéeldes
infinite
.
At
twelue
yeares
of
age
,
he
was
as
bigge
and
greate
as
any
Knight
of
highest
stature
.
No
wilde
beaste
coulde
outrunne
him
,
howe
swifte
soeuer
hée
were
:
For
so
admirable
was
the
lightnesse
of
the
sturdie
youth
,
that
hée
would
ouertake
them
in
their
course
,
and
with
his
hands
disioynt
them
,
péece
by
péece
,
on
whose
fleshe
hée
fedde
.
Being
of
fouretéene
yeares
,
hée
caused
an
Armour
to
bee
made
of
scales
of
Fish
,
bredde
in
the
Arthlanticke
Sea
,
whose
strength
equalled
the
finest
Diamonde
:
they
were
somewhat
darke
of
colour
,
but
hée
garnisht
them
with
Pearles
and
other
riche
stones
,
so
excellently
,
that
they
séemed
naturally
to
haue
growne
there
.
He
was
not
of
bodie
disproportioned
as
other
Gyants
,
but
composed
of
such
orderly
well
knit
members
,
that
onely
in
strength
he
was
accounted
Gyantiue
.
The
newes
of
his
father
and
Grandsires
death
,
he
receiued
ere
he
receiued
the
order
of
knighthood
,
which
hee
himselfe
of
himselfe
did
take
,
saying
:
None
merited
the
honour
to
giue
him
that
dignitie
,
and
so
became
both
agent
and
patient
to
aduance
his
pride
vnto
the
end
of
his
desire
,
which
was
so
great
,
that
it
amazed
the
world
,
hauing
farre
greater
forces
then
his
father
Bramarante
.
So
when
hee
sawe
himselfe
with
armes
,
and
knewe
the
Greekes
had
slaine
his
Grandfather
,
hee
solemnely
protested
on
the
hilts
of
his
sword
,
to
holde
perpetuall
enmitie
with
them
.
Although
presently
arriued
other
sorrowfull
newes
of
his
fathers
death
,
and
how
the
Gréeke
Princes
with
their
owne
hands
intombde
him
,
vowing
to
defend
his
armour
against
any
that
would
presume
to
take
them
.
This
somewhat
pacified
his
rage
,
yet
not
to
estéeme
them
his
friends
.
It
gréeued
his
verie
soule
to
heare
that
the
king
of
Mauritania
had
dared
to
take
away
the
armour
of
his
deare
father
:
that
hee
would
stay
no
longer
,
thinking
hee
wronged
his
honour
in
the
deferring
of
his
iust
reuenge
.
This
(
aboue
all
the
valiantest
)
hee
had
,
that
hee
was
courteous
and
gentle
,
and
without
sufficient
cause
would
neuer
vndertake
,
nor
of
any
euer
demaunde
the
combatte
.
Arriuing
in
Grecia
hee
became
more
milder
,
not
by
méeting
any
that
ouermatcht
or
equalled
him
in
fight
,
but
with
the
sole
sight
of
the
Gréekish
Ladies
gallantnesse
.
Hée
was
prone
to
loue
,
and
in
pursuite
thereof
performed
no
mean
aduentures
.
Finally
betwéene
him
and
the
furious
Bembo
,
was
all
the
strength
of
Paganisme
diuided
.
Hee
tooke
his
leaue
of
his
subiects
,
(
for
then
he
,
none
was
euermore
beloued
of
any
)
with
whom
hee
left
commaundement
,
that
straight
vpon
report
of
warre
against
Greece
,
they
should
with
the
greatest
power
they
could
assemble
,
séeke
him
there
,
who
onely
with
the
son
of
the
Gouernour
of
his
kingdome
,
called
Artanio
,
left
the
confines
of
Scythia
,
where
he
raigned
,
purposing
to
imploy
himselfe
in
nothing
till
he
met
the
Mauritanian
Brufaldoro
,
and
to
take
from
him
the
armes
of
his
so
deare
and
valiant
father
,
calling
himselfe
vnfortunafe
,
in
that
he
had
not
known
him
.
His
ship
being
rigged
,
and
of
all
munition
and
tackling
well
prouided
,
within
one
moneth
hee
entred
the
vaste
Greeke
Ocean
,
which
not
a
little
gladded
him
to
be
in
his
enemies
countrie
.
On
the
fourth
day
of
his
Nauigation
(
hauing
thitherto
met
with
no
aduenture
woorthie
a
Historie
)
he
descried
making
towards
him
a
shippe
,
whereat
he
reioyced
excéedingly
,
hoping
to
knowe
newes
of
his
demaund
.
The
shippes
in
their
méeting
came
so
neare
,
that
Brauorant
might
well
discerne
vpon
the
hatches
of
this
strangers
shippe
,
two
knights
of
gallant
disposition
,
clad
in
rich
and
strong
Armor
,
with
whose
sight
he
rested
highly
contented
,
for
in
all
his
life
he
had
not
séene
better
accomplisht
Gentlemen
.
They
wore
their
Helmets
off
to
take
the
freshnesse
of
the
aire
,
and
séeing
he
ioyned
his
to
their
shippe
,
they
put
them
on
.
And
he
approaching
said
.
Sir
Knights
,
I
shal
be
highly
fauoured
to
know
neare
what
land
we
are
,
and
how
farre
we
be
from
the
nighest
?
Eleuated
in
contemplation
were
the
two
,
séeing
so
stout
a
youth
,
for
hauing
his
vyzor
raised
,
they
sawe
his
beard
did
not
as
then
spring
foorth
.
The
one
replied
,
you
now
do
nauigate
sir
knight
in
the
Gréekish
sea
,
and
are
not
aboue
thrée
daies
sailing
from
Constantinople
,
for
so
many
is
it
since
we
thence
departed
.
In
curtesie
then
tell
me
(
required
the
sturdie
youth
)
whether
he
that
slew
the
Gran
Campeon
Bradaman
,
be
now
in
that
Citie
,
for
it
greatly
concernes
me
to
méete
with
him
?
And
I
cannot
beléeue
,
nor
is
it
possible
,
that
onely
one
to
one
he
should
ouercome
him
,
whom
all
the
Orientall
Regions
feared
.
The
other
answered
,
That
Prince
is
in
Greece
(
Knight
)
and
if
you
proue
your selfe
with
him
,
you
shall
finde
that
was
nothing
he
then
did
,
so
great
is
his
valiantnesse
and
vnmatched
strength
,
whereto
the
heauens
ioyned
all
their
influences
to
make
it
incomparable
.
To
heare
the
Gréeke
so
praised
,
did
excéedingly
vexe
the
youth
.
So
the
Pagan
replied
saying
.
Surely
if
all
in
Greece
be
as
valiant
in
fight
,
as
they
are
singular
in
their
Princes
praises
,
they
cannot
be
lesse
estéemed
then
for
the
wonders
of
Chiualry
,
and
in
the
world
soly
excellent
for
déeds
in
armes
.
So
are
they
indéed
(
replied
the
knight
)
and
he
that
dares
gaine
say
it
,
I
here
defie
him
to
mortall
battell
.
Defie
me
(
answered
he
)
Oh
heauens
!
is
this
tollerable
I
heare
?
that
before
I
sée
the
countrie
of
my
enemies
,
there
should
bee
any
to
dare
me
and
challenge
me
?
therefore
no
longer
would
the
inraged
Pagan
stay
,
but
commaunding
his
barke
to
be
grappled
close
with
his
aduersaries
,
hee
drewe
foorth
his
furious
blade
.
Against
Mars
would
not
the
other
refuse
the
combat
,
but
in
this
gets
he
little
:
for
being
with
triall
assured
of
the
Pagans
strength
,
hée
straight
imagined
what
small
honour
hee
should
get
in
that
attempt
.
For
the
raging
Scythian
raising
his
Merculean
arme
,
&
as
that
was
the
first
blowe
,
so
would
he
make
it
notable
,
which
indéed
was
such
a
one
,
that
lighting
on
the
top
of
his
helme
,
hee
slised
away
the
one
half
,
with
part
of
the
neck-péece
,
and
descended
on
his
shoulder
with
such
waight
,
that
he
thought
a
Tower
had
fallen
thereon
:
which
made
him
fall
vnto
the
ground
vpon
his
handes
,
loosing
a
péece
of
his
vanbrace
.
Another
seconded
the
new
Mars
,
lessening
the
former
with
the
furie
of
the
latter
,
lighting
on
him
as
he
rose
in
the
middle
of
his
strong
shield
,
which
as
if
it
had
béene
made
of
a
thin
plate
,
was
cleane
cut
from
the
one
to
the
other
end
,
and
the
blowe
fearcely
falling
on
his
sight
,
astonished
,
felled
him
al
along
vpon
the
barke
,
voyding
much
blood
throgh
his
nose
and
mouth
.
An
Eagle
in
lightnesse
was
the
Pagan
,
so
would
he
follow
leaping
after
him
:
but
the
supreme
guider
of
the
Orbes
did
otherwise
appoint
it
,
moouing
his
companion
to
succour
him
with
incredible
seleritie
,
making
the
Scythians
of
none
effect
,
by
giuing
him
a
venturous
thrust
on
the
sturdie
breast
,
making
him
recoyle
backewards
:
for
had
he
lept
into
their
shippe
,
both
had
left
their
liues
in
the
handes
of
the
angrie
Pagan
,
who
like
a
furious
Basseliske
offered
againe
the
daungerous
leape
,
but
to
prohibit
him
,
stood
the
amorous
Florisarte
,
for
it
was
he
and
his
father
,
with
the
disguised
Princesses
that
were
there
,
who
departing
from
Greece
,
were
brought
to
that
passe
,
that
they
accounted
themselues
surely
vanquished
,
so
fierce
séemed
the
Scythian
.
By
this
was
the
father
risen
,
reioycing
at
the
good
ayde
his
sonne
had
giuen
him
.
Againe
reioyned
the
two
barkes
,
and
their
beeing
both
togither
,
increased
their
hopes
of
victorie
.
The
haughtie
youth
refused
them
not
,
but
rather
ioyed
thereat
,
iudging
them
Knights
of
estimation
,
and
since
so
valiant
tokens
they
shewed
thereof
,
he
thought
that
vanquishing
them
,
some
honour
he
might
atchieue
by
the
conquest
.
He
was
inraged
against
the
some
for
disturbing
him
from
winning
the
enterance
of
their
ship
:
and
so
suffering
a
mightie
blow
,
that
had
he
not
bene
Brauorant
that
receiued
it
,
no
other
could
haue
the
heart
to
endure
the
second
.
At
his
pleasure
did
he
reache
the
beloued
Florisarte
on
the
one
side
of
his
shield
.
Farre
did
not
the
sword
enter
,
for
the
Scythian
staied
his
arm
,
but
all
that
it
reached
,
which
was
the
shield
it
snatcht
from
his
hands
,
making
him
turne
twice
or
thrice
about
,
like
with
staggering
to
fall
:
he
stept
nigher
to
the
edge
,
to
discharge
another
,
which
happened
as
he
would
:
for
taking
him
about
the
shoulders
,
the
blade
bounded
vpwards
,
else
it
had
strooke
away
his
head
:
but
so
puissant
was
the
furious
stroake
,
that
it
disarmed
all
that
side
,
and
fell
with
such
huge
heauie
strength
,
that
it
strooke
him
downe
in
the
middle
of
the
barke
.
Like
a
swelling
serpent
became
the
father
,
séeing
his
sonne
so
handled
,
that
with
the
vtmost
of
his
strength
he
discharged
his
rage
vppon
the
Gygantine
youth
,
who
not
respecting
it
,
would
not
ward
it
(
but
to
bée
giuen
by
the
hands
of
the
valiant
Tharcian
)
it
was
too
much
proude
confidence
to
respect
it
:
which
made
him
sée
more
starres
then
the
loftie
Firmament
contained
.
He
staggered
too
vnséemely
steppes
backwards
,
almost
falling
,
but
recouering
himselfe
,
he
fomed
through
the
Vyzor
like
a
hunted
Boore
:
blaspheming
irreligiously
against
his
goddesse
.
By
this
time
came
the
sonne
,
and
knowing
that
one
onely
knight
handled
them
in
that
manner
,
with
both
his
hands
hee
laid
vpon
his
Helme
,
which
sounded
like
a
bell
.
In
all
his
life
he
had
not
receiued
the
like
:
for
it
made
him
bend
his
head
with
no
litle
paine
:
and
with
more
spéed
then
he
would
,
euen
to
his
brest
.
Scarcely
had
the
sonne
executed
his
,
when
the
father
discharged
an
other
in
the
same
place
.
They
forced
him
to
set
his
hands
on
the
ground
:
It
was
to
their
will
,
for
returning
more
furious
then
a
hunted
Lyon
in
his
greatest
rage
,
as
he
rose
,
with
a
counterbuffe
he
tumbled
the
father
on
the
middest
of
his
backe
,
so
sore
brused
with
the
blowe
,
that
almost
hee
could
not
after
stand
on
his
féete
.
The
sonne
maintained
the
fight
,
procuring
rather
to
defend
himselfe
from
the
Pagans
fierce
blowes
,
then
to
offend
.
But
what
auaileth
it
?
for
the
father
being
arriued
in
his
helpe
,
their
aduersary
neuer
fully
reached
them
any
blowe
,
but
he
lanched
forth
their
blood
,
wherwith
they
both
were
withal
couered
,
and
althogh
they
had
somewat
wearied
and
more
inraged
him
,
yet
was
his
Armor
neither
cut
nor
rased
,
and
had
the
battle
béene
made
on
land
,
it
had
ere
this
bene
ended
,
either
with
death
or
vanquishment
of
both
.
For
the
haughtie
youth
was
borne
to
fight
,
finding
ease
therein
:
and
so
had
he
in
the
ende
of
thrée
houre
,
so
tyred
and
wounded
them
,
that
longer
they
could
scarce
holde
out
:
Yet
for
all
this
,
did
not
the
Knights
loose
any
part
of
their
courage
,
which
was
such
,
that
they
forced
the
son
of
Bramarant
to
increase
in
forces
,
bellowing
like
a
bayted
Bull
:
and
yet
highly
estéeming
them
,
in
respect
of
their
shewen
valour
.
Long
hadde
hee
desired
to
winne
their
shippe
,
and
so
now
to
acccomplish
the
same
:
with
a
thrust
,
hee
draue
the
Argentarian
Prince
to
the
farthest
side
of
it
,
and
after
him
woulde
hee
haue
leapt
,
if
that
a
suddaine
whirle-winde
that
happened
,
hadde
not
parted
farre
asunder
both
shippes
,
following
after
it
,
so
great
a
misty
thicke
fogge
,
with
so
much
thundring
and
lightning
,
that
the
prowdest
heart
was
daunted
with
feare
.
Which
beeing
past
,
they
sawe
themselues
so
sundred
,
that
straight
eyther
lost
the
sight
of
the
other
,
and
in
the
Princes
Shippe
,
immeasurable
was
their
griefe
for
the
two
Pages
losse
,
that
in
that
tempest
were
conueyed
away
:
insomuch
,
that
the
amorous
Florisart
was
like
to
runne
madde
with
sorrowe
:
and
it
was
not
much
,
for
none
(
liuing
)
was
euer
better
entertained
.
Heere
their
friende
Nabato
would
not
leaue
them
with
such
paine
,
so
hee
appeared
to
them
in
theyr
Barke
,
saying
.
Valiant
Princes
,
there
is
no
cause
why
you
shuld
gréeue
at
the
heauens
decrée
,
and
what
is
directed
according
to
their
will
:
and
thinke
it
not
little
that
you
haue
sustained
your selues
so
long
against
that
Pagan
:
for
there
be
fewe
on
the
earth
so
valiant
as
he
:
and
let
this
be
no
strangenesse
to
aggrauate
your
mindes
,
for
it
will
alwaies
redound
to
to
the
honor
of
Greece
.
Touching
the
Pages
,
it
was
time
they
should
returne
to
whom
sent
them
:
and
therefore
sorrow
not
,
for
they
are
in
place
where
they
shall
bee
entreated
as
their
persons
do
deserue
.
And
you
gallant
Florisart
,
that
haue
most
reason
of
gréef
,
take
courage
:
for
only
it
must
most
aduance
your
immortall
honor
.
And
one
day
when
least
you
thinke
of
your
glory
,
you
shall
be
challenged
to
obserue
and
performe
your
promise
giuen
to
Artimio
,
accounting
(
through
the
great
content
you
then
shall
receiue
)
all
the
troubles
and
tormenting
passions
you
shall
henceforth
thitherto
endure
(
which
will
not
be
few
)
to
be
but
the
passage
of
so
many
pleasures
:
but
against
many
others
that
may
befall
you
,
your
valour
and
fortitude
is
very
sufficient
.
So
soone
as
you
bee
arriued
at
Argentaria
(
for
so
it
behooueth
the
ease
and
quietnesse
of
Rosabell
)
with
the
greatest
Fléete
of
ships
and
gallyes
(
detracting
no
time
)
that
you
may
make
ready
,
take
your
course
towards
the
Chappell
of
Saint
George
.
For
in
despite
of
our
mortall
and
great
enemie
Lupercio
,
I
le
place
a
signall
on
Lyrianas
inchauntment
,
that
thereby
you
may
repaire
thither
,
séeing
it
a
very
far
off
:
and
let
there
be
no
negligent
forgetfulnesse
herein
,
for
it
toucheth
no
lesse
then
the
Ladies
libertie
,
to
be
done
by
Gréekes
and
their
friends
,
by
the
happie
comming
of
the
vnknowne
Lyon
.
And
hereupon
he
tooke
his
leaue
,
ending
his
spéech
,
and
departed
from
them
.
Who
no
sooner
landed
in
their
dominions
,
and
being
receiued
with
the
loue
that
Flora
did
beare
them
,
they
gaue
order
for
all
what
the
wiseman
had
told
them
,
gathering
togither
of
both
kingdoms
thrée
hundred
royall
gallies
,
well
prouided
with
most
warlike
men
,
and
all
manner
of
other
necessarie
munition
.
What
they
did
,
shall
bee
related
.
For
thrée
miles
from
Rome
appeared
a
most
strange
inchauntment
,
making
at
the
fixing
so
mightie
a
noise
,
that
all
the
Vallies
thereabout
did
resound
,
and
that
famous
Citie
trembled
with
the
sound
.
The
Emperor
was
amazed
,
not
knowing
the
cause
of
that
sudden
earth-quake
:
But
after
a
while
there
came
a
Knight
that
told
him
,
how
in
the
Forrest
there
was
to
bee
séene
a
great
and
woondrous
Castle
of
maruellous
and
seldome
séene
worke
:
and
that
hauing
read
certain
letters
written
on
a
Pillar
,
he
perceiued
it
to
be
the
inchauntment
of
the
Princesse
Roselia
.
Great
contentment
receiued
her
father
and
mother
,
to
know
newes
of
their
deare
daughter
,
hauing
thitherto
supposed
her
dead
:
hoping
now
assuredly
to
sée
her
,
since
she
was
brought
to
such
a
place
.
Nabato
did
comfort
them
,
saying
:
The
time
would
come
,
they
should
sée
her
,
receiuing
more
ioy
then
at
that
instant
they
had
.
So
he
departed
from
them
,
procuring
the
disinchaunting
of
Lyriana
,
(
and
sée
if
thereby
the
great
warres
might
be
appeased
,
which
he
imagined
would
about
her
happen
)
to
espouse
her
to
Rosabel
,
and
as
he
thought
,
he
presently
put
it
in
execution
,
setting
in
despight
of
Lupercio
,
(
hauing
greater
skil
then
he
)
on
the
top
of
the
maruellous
Tower
,
a
burning
Cloud
,
flaming
so
mightily
,
that
it
séemed
continually
to
cast
vpwards
flames
of
inextinguable
fire
.
It
was
séene
farre
off
,
and
therefore
there
were
fewe
vppon
the
seas
but
repaired
thither
,
although
without
it
,
there
had
not
failed
to
come
the
famous
Bembo
,
with
the
Souldan
of
Egypt
,
which
was
a
brother
to
him
slaine
,
yet
farre
more
stronger
.
Neither
at
his
due
time
wanted
the
great
Lord
of
Nyquea
himselfe
,
with
a
mightie
Fléete
.
For
Lupercio
found
that
Gréeke
Prince
should
end
the
aduenture
,
and
maugre
all
the
world
,
beare
away
Lyriana
:
and
to
forbid
that
no
other
Knight
might
approach
to
proue
the
aduenture
,
he
stirred
vp
and
mooued
the
valiantest
Knights
in
the
whole
vniuerse
against
the
Gréekes
,
as
hereafter
shall
at
large
be
exprest
.
And
yet
by
the
signe
,
the
great
Magician
Nabato
set
,
all
the
flower
of
Grecia
vnited
,
was
there
assembled
.
The
mightie
Brauorant
could
not
but
sée
it
,
for
parting
from
the
two
famous
Princes
,
his
Galley
so
nauigated
the
Mediterranean
Ocean
,
that
he
sawe
the
fearefull
flames
that
issued
from
the
Sea
.
Desirous
to
sée
such
straunge
aduentures
,
was
the
stout
and
fierce
Pagan
,
and
to
proue
himselfe
therein
,
ioying
to
haue
left
his
Countrey
,
to
participate
of
his
begunne
sights
,
imagining
that
his
strong
and
valiant
arme
was
sufficient
to
terminate
such
a
déede
,
he
commaunded
thither
to
be
directed
,
where
quickly
he
arriued
,
amazed
to
sée
the
Tower
and
the
maruellous
workemanship
thereof
,
vnable
to
conceiue
who
could
frame
so
admirable
a
thing
.
He
read
the
superscriptions
,
&
not
regarding
what
Armes
were
required
for
that
attempt
,
he
flung
(
as
Bembo
had
done
)
at
one
of
the
Pillers
whereon
the
Tower
was
built
:
but
at
that
instant
,
there
arose
so
much
fire
,
that
all
his
fury
&
strength
nothing
auailing
him
,
with
want
inough
thereof
he
gaue
ouer
,
where
his
Armour
stood
him
in
no
small
stéed
,
for
being
made
of
those
bones
that
are
most
colde
,
they
were
able
to
defend
some
part
of
the
heate
of
that
fire
,
and
blaspheming
on
his
Goddes
,
he
stood
looking
if
he
could
finde
any
other
entrance
:
and
séeing
none
,
he
thought
it
best
to
depart
,
vowing
to
returne
thither
,
and
defend
that
none
other
should
trie
it
,
since
he
had
not
ended
it
,
it
cost
many
liues
:
and
to
performe
it
,
he
commaunded
his
Pylot
to
make
towardes
Mauritania
,
for
he
desired
to
be
there
,
to
demaund
his
fathers
Armes
of
Brufaldoro
,
or
loose
his
life
in
their
pursuite
.
The
weather
was
faire
,
calme
,
and
prosperous
,
fauouring
his
voyage
,
for
in
eight
daies
he
landed
there
:
he
was
glad
thereof
,
and
so
tooke
foorth
a
mightie
roane
Courser
,
the
best
that
all
his
Countrey
did
affoord
,
of
such
force
,
as
it
easily
might
beare
the
sturdie
youth
.
On
another
mounted
his
Squier
Artanio
,
and
taking
the
largest
path
,
he
beganne
to
pace
foorth
in
haste
,
to
learne
of
some
one
,
if
the
king
of
that
lande
were
there
to
séeke
him
.
Straight
was
he
assured
ther
of
,
reioycing
greatly
thereat
,
being
perswaded
none
could
disturbe
him
from
winning
the
Armour
that
once
belonged
to
his
deare
father
.
But
to
rest
himselfe
,
he
entered
through
a
faire
Forrest
,
passing
that
day
there
,
til
it
was
time
to
sléepe
,
which
was
but
little
,
by
reason
of
that
which
befell
him
.
CHAP.
II.
What
hapned
vnto
the
mightie
Brauorant
,
with
a
strange
knight
,
and
who
he
was
.
SCarce
was
the
middle
houre
of
that
same
season
past
,
when
rest
in
silent
quietnesse
surpriseth
the
waking
eyes
of
euery
one
,
to
make
them
cease
their
laborious
daily
toyle
,
suffering
the
wandering
passengers
of
gloomy
darkenesse
,
with
night
tripping
Fairies
to
progresse
throgh
those
walks
,
that
the
absence
of
their
exilde
light
doeth
limit
them
,
in
blacke
obscuritie
:
when
a
suddain
new
alteration
inforced
the
haughtie
Pagan
from
his
accustomed
vncontrowled
sléepe
.
For
the
heard
not
far
from
him
,
the
complaints
of
some
one
,
whose
necessitie
vrged
him
to
lament
.
He
was
as
is
said
,
in
nature
contrary
to
all
others
of
his
kind
,
and
like
his
Father
onely
in
strength
.
For
he
pittied
those
distressed
,
offering
his
person
in
theyr
required
aide
:
hee
rose
,
and
closing
his
Beauer
,
went
to
the
place
from
whence
he
heard
the
plaintes
,
and
by
the
pale
shine
of
Cynthias
watery
beames
,
he
sawe
sitting
at
the
foote
of
a
knottie
Oake
,
a
well
proportioned
knight
,
apparrelled
in
most
rich
Armour
,
complaining
of
loue
.
The
Pagan
knew
not
what
it
ment
,
and
therefore
to
sée
his
effects
,
he
got
behinde
another
Trée
verie
neare
vnto
the
knight
:
who
had
not
all
that
night
slept
,
bewayling
his
chaunce
,
neyther
would
he
do
it
,
but
to
participate
his
griefe
to
those
that
felt
it
not
.
So
not
regarding
,
because
not
séeing
the
Pagan
,
he
beganne
with
a
thousand
sighes
,
witnesses
of
his
soules
sorrow
,
to
vtter
the
gréeued
burthen
it
sustained
:
and
with
such
grace
,
that
Brauorant
rested
amazed
,
iuding
him
some
celestiall
creature
,
respecting
the
swéete
harmony
of
his
voyces
,
he
did
with
all
attention
listen
,
and
ouerheard
the
Louer
in
this
maner
sing
against
Fortune
,
these
verses
following
.
FOrtune
is
blinde
,
she
lookes
on
no
mans
need
,
And
deafe
,
she
hearkens
vnto
no
mans
call
:
And
cruell
,
she
respects
not
who
doth
bleed
,
And
enuious
,
she
reioyceth
at
ones
fall
.
No
Bewtie
can
vnmaske
her
hood-winck't
eies
,
No
Force
can
driue
attention
to
her
eares
:
No
Griefe
make
her
dead-sleeping
pittie
rise
,
Nor
is
her
Enuie
thaw'd
with
Vertues
teares
.
She
at
aduentures
lets
her
Fauours
flie
,
Without
proportion
,
without
due
regards
:
The
base
vnworthy
,
now
she
mounts
on
hie
,
And
fatteth
dunghils
with
her
best
rewards
.
Anon
they
tumble
to
their
first
estate
,
And
other
on
the
tottering
wheele
are
set
:
Who
neuer
finde
repentance
,
till
too
late
,
And
then
they
finde
it
in
sad
sorrowes
net
.
Such
fortune
is
,
and
oh
what
hap
haue
I
To
serue
a
Goddesse
lighter
then
the
winde
:
Constant
in
nothing
,
but
inconstancy
,
As
also
enuious
,
cruel
,
deafe
and
blinde
.
Fortune
is
blind
,
Oh
what
can
me
betide
?
But
blind
mishap
,
that
serue
so
blind
a
guide
.
With
a
breathlesse
heart
breaking
(
hay
me
)
ended
the
Louer
,
principiating
her
oppressed
soules
discharge
thus
.
What
auailed
it
,
Oh
what
auailed
it
me
(
heroycke
warrior
)
so
to
my
honors
cost
,
&
reputations
wrack
,
to
reueale
vnto
thée
the
tenure
of
my
Loues
secrets
,
whose
tribute
is
only
due
to
thy
incomparable
merits
?
It
was
more
then
became
me
,
violating
those
immaculate
rytes
of
ours
,
which
are
first
to
be
intreated
,
and
then
vpon
sufficient
proofe
,
to
like
.
I
knowe
not
on
whom
to
complaine
?
not
of
my selfe
,
for
neuer
was
any
better
imployed
,
nor
yet
their
thoughts
higher
sublimated
?
No
,
I
complaine
of
my
hard
fortune
,
for
that
the
sacrifice
of
my
will
offered
in
his
hands
,
could
be
no
meanes
to
confirme
in
part
,
the
hope
he
gaue
me
on
the
sandes
of
the
Gréeke
sea
coast
,
to
be
soly
mine
.
For
if
I
so
now
vnderstood
it
,
who
would
be
so
weake
,
and
so
mistrustfull
a
Louer
,
as
with
so
many
sorrowes
to
séeke
the
thing
loued
,
and
with
a
number
of
infinit
sighes
,
that
vnsought
for
,
would
méete
me
,
since
I
would
not
refuse
what
he
admitted
,
nor
could
my
Loue
fancie
but
what
he
desired
,
louing
?
But
O
griefe
,
I
cannot
beléeue
,
but
that
misfortune
and
my selfe
,
were
both
borne
Twinnes
at
one selfe
same
birth
.
O
haughtie
Tynacrian
,
thinke
not
but
it
is
a
blot
to
thy
immortall
fame
,
to
shewe
thy selfe
cruel
&
vnkind
,
gainst
him
whom
hath
yéelded
soule
&
thoughts
to
thée
.
It
is
a
tyrannie
altogither
vnbeséeming
whom
thou
art
,
and
what
thou
diddest
protest
at
our
departure
.
The
sterne
fierce
Pagan
would
not
interrupt
him
,
but
astonied
to
heare
what
he
said
,
hearkened
,
vnable
to
resolue
whether
man
or
woman
he
was
.
All
the
night
past
they
away
,
one
in
his
laments
,
and
the
other
in
his
newe
doubts
,
vntil
the
appearing
of
Auroras
shine
began
to
giue
warning
of
the
morning
Sunnes
vprise
.
And
then
leauing
his
stand
,
went
towards
the
Knight
,
that
séeing
it
was
day
,
had
laced
on
his
helme
,
fearing
to
be
knowne
.
The
knightly
Gyant
séeing
him
,
with
excéeding
courtesie
,
that
most
adorned
him
,
he
beganne
to
speake
.
You
haue
inforced
me
(
sir
Knight
)
to
passe
this
night
so
disquietted
,
by
hearing
you
publish
your
griefe
,
that
in
recompence
thereof
,
I
intreate
you
I
may
knowe
the
cause
,
and
if
the
hazarding
of
my
person
to
woorke
your
content
,
may
bee
a
seruice
accepted
,
I
shall
rest
happie
to
bee
so
imployed
.
The
Ladie
well
noted
him
,
thinking
she
had
neuer
séene
a
brauer
nor
better
armed
knight
,
and
his
ciuill
demenour
,
bound
her
to
a
milde
answere
,
but
she
was
in
such
an
amorous
rage
,
that
not
considering
the
end
,
replied
.
Why
then
,
woorse
will
the
day
be
to
me
,
then
was
the
night
to
you
,
knowing
that
you
haue
heard
what
the
verie
soule
dares
not
trust
it selfe
withall
,
and
I
know
not
what
lawe
of
armes
admits
it
.
Your
fauour
I
refuse
,
for
hauing
committed
such
an
offence
,
as
to
require
the
knowledge
of
a
strangers
deare
hearts
secret
,
against
his
will
that
loues
,
which
if
I
declare
,
how
should
I
thinke
it
could
be
conceald
by
you
?
So
may
you
returne
,
for
the
gréefe
that
mée
torments
,
is
pleasant
onely
in
concealement
.
I
had
not
thought
(
replied
the
Pagan
)
that
through
intreating
thée
,
with
what
amongst
good
knights
is
vsed
,
should
haue
put
thée
in
that
arrogant
confidence
,
as
to
néede
none
others
ayde
,
beeing
a
thing
so
contrarie
to
reason
.
If
thou
knewest
the
lawe
of
Loue
(
replied
the
Knight
)
thou
should
knowe
there
is
no
happinesse
therein
,
but
to
loue
with
secrecie
,
for
that
is
it
that
assureth
any
doubtfull
hope
.
But
to
recount
my
cares
to
one
that
cannot
redresse
them
,
with
more
then
a
dolefull
(
I
am
sorrie
)
we
sigh
more
in
hauing
a
straungers
companie
,
then
for
discret
circumspectnesse
.
It
cannot
be
exprest
what
rage
the
Pagan
conceiued
,
for
being
insolently
bolde
,
he
was
onely
noted
of
immoderate
rashnesse
,
and
so
answered
.
Then
,
that
thou
mayest
know
that
to
haue
told
it
me
was
thy
aduantage
,
I
ingage
thée
to
the
battell
,
that
by
taking
away
thy
puling
life
,
the
paines
whereof
thou
doest
complaine
,
may
also
end
.
Mars
was
not
more
fierce
then
the
Louer
,
beeing
angered
,
and
so
without
longer
stay
,
drew
foorth
one
of
the
worlds
best
blades
.
Mightie
hee
was
:
but
hee
met
with
that
strength
whereto
Mylos
forces
neuer
reacht
,
through
conceiued
rage
he
was
quicker
in
executing
his
blow
,
discharging
it
on
the
shield
,
of
which
to
the
ground
hee
threwe
a
péece
,
beating
the
rest
so
heauily
on
his
heade
,
that
it
almost
astonished
him
.
He
stept
in
with
his
right
foote
,
and
with
a
steddie
strong
thrust
he
forst
him
with
staggering
paces
backwards
:
he
wold
not
yet
leaue
the
chase
for
turning
his
sword
vnderhand
,
let
it
flie
at
his
right
thigh
,
making
his
aduersaries
flesh
féele
the
cutting
of
his
sharpe
blade
.
Neuer
was
Serpent
in
the
desert
Libia
more
rigorous
then
the
Pagan
now
did
returne
vpon
the
knight
,
and
where
he
thought
his
blow
would
be
of
more
effect
,
thither
hee
strucke
:
the
other
raised
his
shield
,
but
it
was
of
no
defence
,
for
although
hee
did
not
cut
it
,
through
the
finesse
of
the
temper
,
yet
it
so
charged
him
,
that
hee
set
his
hands
on
the
ground
,
and
ere
hee
rose
,
hee
felt
another
,
which
made
him
thinke
hee
sawe
the
starrie
firmament
.
The
blood
congealed
in
his
mouth
,
and
fréezed
in
his
bodie
,
séeing
the
fiercenesse
of
the
Pagan
,
which
hee
thought
farre
to
excéede
the
Gréeke
Princes
.
He
rose
vp
,
for
hee
was
couragious
,
minding
to
vse
his
nimblenesse
,
but
as
therein
the
Scythian
excéeded
the
swiftnesse
of
any
Hart
,
it
auaild
him
not
from
receiuing
most
cruell
blowes
,
kissing
the
earth
sometimes
with
his
knées
,
and
sometimes
with
his
handes
.
Neuer
felt
he
himselfe
so
persecuted
,
nor
at
the
poynt
to
loose
the
fame
he
had
obtained
for
valour
,
and
therefore
did
hee
redouble
his
blowes
so
strong
and
thicke
,
that
the
Pagan
was
forced
to
deuise
newe
defensiue
wards
.
Excéedingly
he
reioyced
to
sée
what
braue
knights
he
met
in
his
iourney
towards
the
parts
of
Grecia
,
déeming
him
of
that
countrie
,
where
the
Authors
of
his
life
were
intombde
.
This
remembrance
so
vext
him
,
that
hee
supposed
it
cowardise
to
continue
in
single
combat
so
long
:
so
letting
a
blowe
flie
aloft
,
hee
discharged
the
seconde
with
such
mightie
strength
on
his
aduersaries
helme
,
that
it
rezounded
like
a
bell
:
and
not
able
to
penetrate
it
,
so
heauily
it
waighed
on
one
side
,
that
breaking
all
the
laces
,
buckles
,
and
riuets
,
it
strucke
it
from
his
head
,
making
the
knight
vpholde
himselfe
with
his
handes
:
but
at
his
rising
Apollos
beautie
séemed
not
so
faire
that
day
,
as
Floralizas
great
Alicandros
Néece
,
that
wandring
throgh
straunge
lands
in
search
of
her
Poliphebo
,
had
arriued
there
.
In
all
his
life
did
not
the
Pagan
receiue
such
a
blowe
(
as
with
her
sight
)
for
in
all
the
same
,
he
forgot
not
the
memorie
of
that
day
:
hee
stayed
his
sword
,
and
stepping
foorth
,
vnlaced
his
helme
,
setting
to
view
his
sturdie
visage
,
more
faire
then
swartie
,
yet
with
many
wrinkled
checkes
,
and
one
great
mole
on
his
front
,
approoued
tokens
of
his
excessiue
strength
,
his
shield
he
cast
away
,
and
taking
his
sword
by
the
poynt
,
(
through
the
newe
tuch
of
loue
)
hee
spake
with
more
ciuilitie
then
the
most
amorous
.
Admired
Goddesse
,
I
beséech
you
pardon
my
mad
presumption
,
although
I
féele
alreadie
the
punishment
thereof
,
for
the
not
knowing
you
,
forced
me
to
it
,
yet
I
repute
it
well
,
if
it
redownde
not
to
your
farther
displeasure
,
which
will
be
to
me
a
more
vnhappier
death
,
in
that
I
haue
séene
the
excellencie
of
beautie
and
valour
:
and
so
intreate
you
,
as
deseruer
of
farre
more
honour
,
you
will
accept
my
sword
in
signe
of
victorie
,
and
I
le
defend
that
all
the
world
doth
owe
it
you
.
It
greatly
delighted
the
Ladie
to
sée
the
knights
courtesie
,
and
imagining
he
was
of
estéeme
,
replied
.
I
will
not
(
sir
knight
)
haue
you
in
all
things
take
the
better
of
the
fight
,
for
the
victorie
is
yours
,
leauing
not
thereby
indebted
to
your
content
.
Her
handes
to
kisse
then
required
the
newe
Mars
,
thinking
no
greater
good
might
bee
expected
then
the
present
.
Shée
drew
them
from
him
,
demanding
who
he
was
?
So
yoaked
was
the
Pagan
,
that
he
could
not
denie
it
,
nor
through
contemplation
say
any
thing
,
yet
thus
he
spake
.
There
was
no
reason
(
diuine
Goddesse
)
to
intreate
,
what
by
commaunding
makes
me
happie
in
obedience
.
I
am
called
Brauorant
,
sonne
to
that
famous
Bramarant
,
which
in
Greece
was
deathes
man
to
himselfe
,
and
Nephewe
to
that
Campeon
,
which
lost
his
life
by
the
hands
of
a
Gréeke
Prince
(
although
I
cannot
beléeue
it
)
and
therefore
haue
I
left
my
countrie
,
of
purpose
to
be
reuenged
on
the
Gréeks
and
the
Mauritanian
king
,
whose
land
we
now
tread
,
because
hee
tooke
away
my
fathers
armour
:
and
also
I
come
to
know
the
Prince
Meridian
,
whose
vassaile
I
am
,
and
greatest
friend
in
respect
of
the
loue
that
he
and
the
mightie
Midinaro
his
Grandfather
did
beare
vnto
my
kindred
.
And
this
is
all
I
can
say
,
praying
the
like
,
not
in
regard
of
my
relation
,
but
that
I
may
know
my
Soueraigne
.
Bound
thereto
was
the
Ladie
,
replying
thus
.
I
greatly
desire
to
knowe
my
stocke
,
and
whom
I
am
,
that
I
might
therein
satisfie
your
content
(
braue
Brauorant
:
)
and
I
assure
you
,
that
the
most
I
knowe
,
is
,
that
I
knowe
not
whom
I
am
,
more
then
that
a
brother
of
mine
and
my selfe
,
were
brought
vppe
togither
in
a
wood
,
without
other
conuersation
then
of
a
wise
man
,
that
did
instruct
vs
in
all
vertues
,
whom
wee
reputed
our
father
,
till
hee
assured
vs
the
contrarie
,
and
through
the
accidents
befallen
,
some
haue
tolde
vs
wee
are
the
children
of
that
so
loued
Prince
Meridian
.
More
I
knowe
not
.
I
beléeue
no
lesse
,
but
that
those
which
are
the
earths
chief
lights
(
aunswered
the
amorous
Scythian
)
deriue
their
diuine
discent
from
the
heauens
,
whence
your
sacred
Grandfather
procéeds
.
As
they
were
in
this
conuersation
,
they
sawe
him
comming
whom
they
soght
,
mounted
on
a
mightie
Courser
,
he
wore
not
then
the
armour
of
that
Mars
and
mightie
Bramarant
,
kéeping
them
onely
to
weare
in
Grecia
,
the
more
to
despight
her
Princes
.
The
Ladie
knewe
him
,
and
tolde
it
the
fierce
Pagan
,
that
cried
out
for
ioy
,
saying
.
This
aduenture
(
excellent
Ladie
)
admits
comparison
solely
with
that
of
your
knowledge
.
Now
am
I
certaine
of
all
good
fortune
,
since
the
heauens
haue
set
before
mine
eyes
with
so
smal
toyle
the
thing
I
most
desired
.
He
arose
with
angrie
paces
,
and
called
for
his
fierce
horse
.
The
like
did
the
Ladie
,
lightly
vawting
into
the
saddle
.
The
Scythian
was
nothing
enuious
thereat
,
for
in
lightnesse
the
Orientall
nations
affoorded
not
his
péere
,
and
brandishing
his
lance
,
made
against
the
Mauritanian
:
but
what
happeneth
describeth
the
next
Chapter
.
CHAP.
III.
What
befell
vnto
the
mightie
Bramorant
,
with
the
warrelike
Brufaldoro
,
the
most
cruell
battell
betweene
them
,
and
how
they
were
parted
by
Floraliza
.
SOme
content
may
the
angrie
aspect
of
the
two
warrtours
mooue
,
that
representing
Mars
,
either
to
the
other
approached
.
The
Mauritanian
with
his
accustomed
pride
spake
first
saying
.
What
vnexpected
motion
of
suddaine
alteration
(
knights
)
hath
my
comming
sturde
in
yée
?
If
you
stand
in
any
néede
speake
,
for
in
the
vttering
consists
the
remiede
.
Of
nothing
haue
we
néede
(
replied
Campeons
fierce
Nephew
,
for
if
any
had
wrongd
vs
,
we
haue
hands
not
to
remit
our
remedie
to
others
.
That
which
hath
mooued
this
knight
and
my selfe
with
hastie
paces
to
méete
you
,
is
onely
to
know
what
cause
the
Mauritanian
king
had
,
to
take
away
the
armes
of
that
glorious
Bramarant
,
knowing
how
thereby
he
angred
the
Gréeke
Princes
,
yet
no
matter
for
this
(
I
séeke
not
their
contents
)
but
thou
shouldst
imagine
,
that
a
senne
,
of
his
liuing
,
greater
was
the
wrong
to
take
them
,
since
they
were
his
right
,
guiding
thy selfe
thereto
more
by
insolencie
,
then
the
dutie
of
a
knight
.
Neuer
did
the
barbarous
Sarazin
nation
know
a
more
prouder
Pagan
then
the
king
of
Mauritania
,
and
supposing
him
like
to
others
he
had
tried
,
with
a
fearefull
voyce
hee
replied
.
What
,
cowarde
knight
,
thinkest
thou
that
méeting
with
those
armes
,
I
would
through
feare
leaue
them
,
although
I
did
incense
the
heauens
,
and
anger
euery
one
the
earth
contained
?
Oh
,
I
wish
I
had
them
here
to
weare
them
in
triumph
of
my
valours
victorie
,
making
the
powers
of
heauen
knowe
to
thy
cost
,
no
terrene
merits
better
deserues
to
weare
them
then
Brufaldoro
.
Milde
in
the
beginning
was
the
Scythian
,
but
being
mooued
to
rage
,
no
Basseliske
is
like
to
him
,
so
roring
like
a
bull
,
and
turning
his
horse
,
casting
his
eyes
vp
to
the
skie
,
said
.
Is
it
possible
that
I
liuing
sole
sonne
to
Bramarant
should
suffer
this
?
and
that
any
other
but
he
should
threaten
me
,
permitting
,
sithens
thou
haste
his
armour
,
and
detaines
them
,
not
to
procure
them
,
or
loose
my
life
in
the
enterprise
?
So
great
was
their
rage
,
that
the
one
could
neither
prosecute
his
spéech
,
nor
the
other
make
reply
,
leauing
to
their
handes
what
their
tongues
could
not
vtter
.
Now
would
I
here
(
but
I
know
not
how
I
may
)
againe
implore
your
sacred
helps
(
admired
Ladies
of
vnspotted
purities
)
but
the
importunate
tonge
euermore
tuned
with
this
one
vocal
note
,
dasht
my
thoghts
in
their
expected
hopes
.
I
dare
,
oh
I
dare
not
presume
,
least
I
should
waken
your
slumbering
displeasures
,
(
they
are
woorse
then
then
thousand
wo-languishing
deaths
)
to
pray
the
comfort
of
a
smile
,
the
soules
nourishment
and
hearts
incourager
,
to
tread
the
difficultie
of
Dedalus
inextricable
laborinth
,
or
as
Hercules
to
vndergo
so
many
labors
.
But
being
repulst
in
selfe
conceit
,
shall
I
flie
to
those
chaste
diuine
Nimphs
of
that
euerflowing
fountaine
of
tongue
inspiring
musicke
,
that
some
one
(
not
busied
in
the
laies
of
loue
)
would
inchaunt
my
rusticke
penne
with
a
delicious
method
,
according
to
the
two
mightie
warriours
deserts
?
They
did
refuse
my
plaints
,
referring
my
Orizons
to
your
desiding
doom
,
submitting
their
wils
to
your
greater
commanding
powers
,
whose
fauours
in
my
behalf
they
promised
to
solicit
.
With
trembling
feare
doo
I
once
againe
awaite
your
censures
:
Oh
,
in
regard
of
their
immaculate
triple
trinitie
graunt
it
,
be
it
but
vnder
the
couert
of
a
fained
smile
:
whose
obtained
imagination
swifter
then
the
winde
,
brought
the
sterne
combattants
to
incounter
with
more
noyse
,
then
Vulcans
thunderboltes
do
rent
the
clowdie
ayre
amidst
their
furious
passage
,
or
fiercer
then
the
tempesteous
waues
raised
by
the
vnbridled
rage
of
a
sea-oreturning
whirlewinde
,
beate
on
the
flintie
rockes
:
yet
was
it
nothing
in
respect
of
the
horrour
that
these
two
rare
in
armes
committed
with
their
launces
.
Of
knottie
Oake
were
they
,
but
arriuing
at
the
brest
,
brake
as
they
were
of
weake
cane
or
small
reedes
:
either
past
by
the
other
without
motion
,
although
the
Moore
at
his
turning
about
,
throgh
the
astonishment
of
the
shocke
lost
his
right
stirrope
.
Aloft
with
their
swords
raised
togither
,
they
discharged
them
on
their
helms
with
more
force
,
then
doth
a
waterie
current
descending
from
a
stéepie
hill
breake
through
a
riuers
locke
.
Venturous
was
the
Mauritanians
blowe
,
for
it
lighted
on
the
toppe
of
his
plumed
crest
,
striking
away
all
the
stéeled
circuite
,
with
part
of
the
maled
gorget
,
&
on
his
shoulder
praide
the
furious
sword
,
falling
so
heauily
,
that
he
bowed
belowe
his
horse
necke
.
On
the
shield
did
the
fierce
youth
strike
the
Mauritanian
,
it
is
no
defence
against
the
rigorous
arme
,
for
the
halfe
it
tooke
away
,
making
him
shake
like
an
Aspen
leafe
.
They
were
both
most
skilfull
,
so
turned
they
to
second
others
,
and
the
Affricanian
let
flie
a
poynt
,
which
the
youth
surely
felt
,
who
reacht
him
ere
he
could
fetch
home
his
arme
,
with
a
crosse
counterbuffe
on
the
side
of
his
helme
,
that
all
that
part
he
left
disarmed
,
ouerturning
him
more
then
hee
willingly
would
on
his
left
stirrope
:
it
was
no
occasion
to
be
lost
,
so
assalting
with
his
sword
inwards
before
he
could
ward
it
,
did
giue
another
no
lesse
dangerous
on
his
sight
,
so
mightie
,
that
the
blood
gusht
from
his
nose
.
Neuer
was
troden
Serpent
more
rigorous
then
now
the
Affrican
returned
,
that
seeing
himselfe
so
handled
,
crushing
one
tooth
with
another
,
with
his
blade
mounted
on
high
,
executed
on
his
helme
such
a
blowe
,
that
it
almost
strooke
him
sencelesse
.
Hee
well
perceiued
his
alteration
,
so
tooke
he
the
aduantage
entring
with
a
cruell
thrust
,
had
not
his
armes
béene
as
they
were
,
there
had
the
battell
ended
:
but
they
were
so
strong
,
that
the
sword
could
not
enter
them
,
so
sliding
thence
,
it
lighted
twixt
the
buckles
of
his
brest
,
cutting
down
his
strong
male
,
and
he
was
happie
to
shrinke
his
bodie
to
himselfe
,
else
hee
had
béene
mortally
wounded
.
He
past
his
carrier
so
swiftly
,
that
the
Scythian
could
not
strike
him
when
he
wold
.
With
such
nimblenes
returned
the
haughtie
Affrican
,
that
his
courage
amazed
the
inuincible
youth
.
But
now
was
hee
at
the
vtmost
of
his
rage
,
and
willing
to
make
it
known
,
casting
his
shield
at
his
backe
,
let
driue
at
him
a
most
mightie
blowe
.
Ward
it
with
his
sword
and
the
remnant
of
his
shielde
would
the
Affrican
:
it
was
of
no
defence
,
for
from
one
to
the
other
end
it
was
clean
diuided
in
two
,
and
méeting
with
his
sword
,
both
made
so
cruell
a
stroke
on
his
helme
,
that
though
it
contained
two
fingers
in
thicknesse
,
he
gaue
him
a
perilous
wound
on
his
left
side
.
The
Mauritanian
would
not
deferre
his
payment
,
for
closing
his
sword
firmly
,
and
séeing
him
without
shield
,
discharged
the
puissance
of
his
armes
on
his
sure
helme
,
it
was
it
saued
his
life
,
and
his
head
from
cleauing
:
neuerthelesse
it
was
so
heauie
,
that
it
strooke
him
along
vpon
his
coursers
backe
,
redoubling
another
vppon
his
broad
breast
,
that
it
almost
stopt
the
passage
of
his
breath
.
Admirable
was
the
sight
of
the
more
then
cruell
fight
:
for
Apollo
hauing
made
his
course
vnto
the
middest
of
the
vaultie
heauens
,
there
stayed
to
gaze
vpon
their
warre
,
glad
to
sée
the
warriours
,
that
without
signe
of
aduantage
,
had
foure
houres
maintained
their
fierce
combat
.
Yet
something
better
sped
the
Scythian
,
by
reason
of
his
inpenitrable
armes
that
kept
his
bodie
from
cutting
.
Which
was
not
so
with
the
Mauritanian
,
for
in
some
places
was
he
sore
hurt
,
but
yet
was
no
cause
to
make
him
shewe
any
faintnesse
,
&
it
rather
increased
his
courage
to
sée
his
blood
inamell
the
earth
.
Amazed
stood
the
gallant
Ladie
to
viewe
the
Pagans
battel
,
iudging
the
worlds
whole
strength
was
twixt
these
two
reparted
.
Greatly
she
desired
to
giue
order
in
parting
them
,
imagining
that
with
the
death
of
any
Greece
,
she
lost
one
of
the
valiantest
and
greatest
enemies
she
had
.
This
toucht
her
verie
soule
:
yet
would
she
not
séeme
to
disgrace
the
mightie
Brauorant
:
so
shee
againe
regazed
on
the
fight
,
thinking
in
the
end
he
would
get
the
better
,
seeming
most
Maister
thereof
.
He
gaue
the
other
a
blowe
ere
she
could
terminate
her
presumption
,
vppon
his
helme
,
that
in
a
trance
hee
strooke
him
on
his
horse
crupper
.
A
while
was
he
carried
so
about
the
field
,
yet
not
so
long
,
that
he
might
second
another
ere
hee
recouered
himselfe
.
Who
like
a
Hercanian
Tiger
,
with
his
sword
twixt
both
handes
,
executed
his
rage
vpon
his
shield
:
so
mightily
did
it
ioyne
with
his
head
,
that
it
astonisht
him
,
and
with
another
almost
ouerthrewe
him
.
The
raging
mountain
Lyonesse
wanting
her
whelps
,
is
like
a
milde
lambe
,
compared
with
the
puissant
matchlesse
Scythian
,
that
renouncing
his
Gods
with
execrable
blasphemies
,
spurd
against
the
Moore
,
and
so
eager
was
he
in
his
carrier
,
that
he
closed
so
neare
hee
could
not
execute
his
blowe
,
more
then
cast
his
armes
about
him
with
such
power
,
that
he
snatcht
him
from
his
saddle
,
whose
waight
forest
him
to
leaue
his
stirropes
&
leape
after
him
,
falling
both
on
the
hard
ground
,
with
more
strength
they
imbraced
then
doth
the
tender
Iuie
incompasse
about
the
sturdie
Oake
.
A
good
while
tumbled
they
vp
and
downe
the
earth
,
till
séeing
neither
could
so
vanquish
his
aduersarie
,
at
once
they
parted
,
repairing
to
their
weapons
,
whose
sight
once
more
might
satisfie
any
minde
of
the
like
desire
:
for
if
the
Mauritanian
be
nimble
,
the
Scythian
is
a
Roe
in
swiftnesse
.
Here
might
Mars
himselfe
learne
as
in
a
schoole
,
and
with
militarie
principles
gorge
his
sight
.
For
being
a
foote
on
ground
,
it
was
admirable
,
to
note
the
dexteritie
wherewith
they
assaulted
,
and
skilful
manner
of
retires
.
More
noyse
made
they
then
Vulcans
Cyclopean
workemen
.
Thrée
houres
of
the
afternoone
were
past
,
and
they
without
feare
of
any
losse
,
redoubled
their
blowes
as
in
the
beginning
.
More
vsed
to
armes
was
the
Moore
:
but
the
youth
was
borne
with
his
stéeled
coate
,
finding
ease
amiddest
the
greatest
warre
:
so
beganne
hee
to
vaunt
of
his
aduantage
to
the
Mauritanians
coste
,
that
beeing
wounded
,
beganne
to
faint
,
yet
not
so
plainly
,
but
would
diuers
times
put
his
battell
in
hazard
.
By
this
would
Tytans
shining
beames
obscure
his
splendor
,
drenching
it
in
the
Spanish
Ocean
,
when
the
Ladie
apparantly
sawe
the
aduantage
on
Brauorants
partie
,
and
iudged
him
sufficiently
honored
therewith
,
leapt
from
her
horse
,
and
stepping
betwéene
them
,
said
.
Apart
,
apart
,
braue
warriours
,
for
it
is
no
reason
about
a
trifle
of
so
small
importance
,
you
should
make
the
world
Orphant
of
your
persons
.
Captiuated
was
the
Pagan
in
the
giues
of
his
Ladies
gallantnesse
,
that
he
replied
thus
.
Heroicke
Knight
,
though
in
some
respect
I
be
herein
wronged
,
I
wil
not
worke
your
discontent
,
and
do
leaue
the
battle
in
this
estate
.
I
take
vpon
me
valiant
knight
(
said
he
)
the
wrong
offered
you
(
if
it
be
any
to
leaue
the
fight
)
and
I
doubt
not
but
this
knight
wil
take
it
well
to
cease
it
at
this
time
.
Well
perceiued
the
Mauritanian
he
might
be
fully
perswaded
now
to
haue
the
worst
,
so
he
answered
,
he
was
content
,
and
they
should
not
want
another
time
to
ende
it
.
Thankfull
vnto
him
for
it
was
Floraliza
,
and
offering
him
her
friendship
,
the
Moore
departed
,
bearing
with
him
inough
to
talke
off
in
his
Citie
,
of
the
Scythians
courage
.
They
sat
them
downe
,
and
the
youth
tooke
off
his
helme
:
the
like
did
the
Ladie
,
discoursing
of
Brufaldoros
brauery
.
This
vertue
among
the
rest
,
greatly
adorned
Brauorant
,
that
he
neuer
tooke
from
any
the
merites
that
he
thought
him
worthie
of
.
So
was
he
first
in
giuing
a
beginning
to
Brufaldoros
praises
.
No
better
medicine
could
come
to
the
lustie
youth
,
then
the
sight
of
that
humane
Goddesse
,
whose
bewtie
had
so
inchaunted
his
sences
,
that
he
iudged
her
all
diuine
.
He
was
not
constant
,
for
seeing
the
Gréeke
Ladies
,
he
straight
forgot
Floraliza
,
only
the
supremacy
of
bewtie
,
making
change
in
him
.
Most
part
of
the
night
past
they
with
different
thoughts
:
for
the
Pagan
was
soly
ouerwhelmed
in
Contemplation
of
the
Ladies
graces
,
not
daring
to
manifest
his
glorie
,
for
yet
he
was
not
sufficiently
toucht
with
loues
fierie
euil
.
The
Lady
though
she
was
glad
to
haue
such
company
,
were
it
but
because
he
was
an
enemy
to
the
Gréekes
,
answered
with
her
toong
what
her
heart
felt
not
,
which
she
had
left
in
the
possession
of
the
Tynacrian
,
whose
absence
was
able
to
distract
her
,
thinking
she
should
not
sée
him
any
more
.
It
is
easie
for
the
soule
to
beléeue
the
euil
it
is
addicted
too
,
for
as
it
liues
fearful
and
in
doubt
of
the
desired
good
,
any
contrary
accident
that
happens
,
taketh
firme
possession
of
the
Louer
.
In
this
conuersation
were
the
vncontrowled
Brauorant
and
the
Ladie
,
when
they
heard
a
great
noyse
like
the
fighting
of
many
knights
,
they
tooke
their
way
towards
it
,
neuer
finding
out
where
it
was
.
For
the
Magitian
Lupercio
,
had
deuised
it
to
conduct
the
Pagan
to
the
keeping
of
the
maruellous
Tower
.
So
lost
he
the
Lady
which
so
extreamly
greeued
him
,
that
he
had
almost
lost
his
wits
:
wandring
thrée
dayes
vp
and
downe
those
woods
calling
for
her
,
yet
could
heare
no
tydings
,
till
thinking
she
was
shipt
to
sea
,
he
with
his
Page
Artanio
did
the
like
.
He
arriued
at
the
Tower
,
where
he
made
his
abode
to
the
cost
of
many
Fames
,
sending
those
that
went
with
him
in
the
shippe
,
to
the
land
for
his
necessary
prouision
.
Where
for
this
time
we
leaue
him
,
till
other
occasion
that
wil
minister
matter
inough
of
his
valiantnesse
,
and
the
Lady
in
search
of
Polliphebo
,
returning
to
Esclauonia
,
for
in
so
long
delaie
,
we
mightily
haue
wronged
the
Princesse
Venus
.
CHAP.
IIII.
How
the
Prince
Claridiano
returned
to
prison
,
first
discouering
him selfe
to
Don
Eleno
,
and
what
else
happened
.
FRom
the
famous
Citie
of
Xantho
,
went
the
two
all-admired
warriours
(
most
faire
Ladies
)
either
enuious
of
the
other
,
to
haue
seene
the
haughtie
Chiualries
by
their
inuincible
armes
.
With
ioy
they
met
the
Page
and
Dwarffe
,
that
expected
them
in
the
Forrest
,
discoursing
of
the
Fortitude
wherewith
they
procéeded
in
the
battle
,
leauing
their
names
in
Xantho
,
consecrated
to
eternitie
.
Of
great
estéeme
(
said
the
Dwarffe
)
should
those
knightes
prisoners
be
of
,
hauing
obtained
such
defence
.
Thou
sayest
well
(
answered
the
Gréeke
)
for
in
the
end
according
to
their
necessitie
,
they
were
succoured
with
the
valour
of
this
knight
,
to
whom
the
palme
of
the
victorie
is
due
.
I
wil
not
agrée
thereto
Syr
knight
(
said
the
Dacian
)
,
since
the
experience
you
haue
this
day
showne
of
your
vnconquered
arme
,
witnesseth
against
any
that
on
my
behalfe
may
be
alleaged
.
But
leauing
this
(
alreadie
alighted
from
their
horses
)
it
will
glad
my
very
soule
,
to
knowe
who
hath
this
day
inacted
so
many
wonders
.
In
comparison
of
yours
(
said
the
Gréeke
)
warlike
Prince
of
Dacia
,
mine
are
of
so
small
name
,
that
they
may
boast
of
nothing
more
,
then
to
be
atchiued
by
the
fauours
of
your
presence
,
whose
imagination
,
and
the
knowledge
that
Don
Eleno
of
Dacia
went
in
my
defence
,
made
me
draw
strength
from
my
weaknes
,
to
shewe
,
that
at
least
in
something
I
may
resemble
to
be
your
kinsman
.
And
therevpon
he
did
put
off
his
helme
,
procéeding
.
I
should
wrong
the
Darian
Lord
,
not
to
tell
him
who
hath
this
day
receiued
such
happie
ayde
.
His
vncle
did
straight
knowe
him
,
and
with
a
ioyfull
voyce
embracing
him
,
said
.
Vntill
the
death
shall
I
complaine
mee
of
this
wrong
(
most
excellent
Prince
of
Greecia
)
in
so
long
delaying
the
content
I
should
receiue
by
knowing
you
.
For
had
I
been
witting
of
such
deare
companie
,
I
had
still
conceiued
more
assurance
of
the
victorie
.
My selfe
being
armed
with
that
assurance
,
Heroicke
Prince
(
replied
the
Gréeke
)
made
me
reserue
till
now
my
discouerie
,
purposing
still
from
the
beginning
to
do
it
til
the
battell
ended
,
of
whose
good
successe
I
nothing
doubted
seeing
you
therein
:
and
that
you
may
bee
assured
by
what
meanes
you
haue
bound
me
to
your
obseruance
,
know
,
that
the
combat
was
made
for
my
libertie
,
being
called
in
this
countrie
the
Dpairing
Knight
,
whose
Princesse
taking
pittie
of
my
wrong
imprisonment
,
procured
meanes
to
liberate
me
,
and
found
one
difficult
ynough
,
which
was
,
to
let
me
out
through
her
garden
,
and
gaue
mée
this
armour
,
that
I
disguised
,
might
for
my selfe
demaund
the
battell
:
and
since
it
hath
so
happened
to
our
content
,
let
vs
procure
it
for
that
Ladie
,
by
againe
presenting
my selfe
in
her
handes
,
your selfe
beeing
witnesse
thereof
,
for
in
nothing
wronging
the
beautious
Rosamonde
,
little
is
aduentured
therein
.
It
is
iust
(
replied
the
Dacian
)
braue
Claridiano
,
that
herein
all
our
friends
and
kinsfolkes
ayde
vs
:
and
let
vs
go
,
for
whosoeuer
stayes
,
any
delay
is
hurtfull
.
Let
vs
away
(
saide
the
Gréeke
)
for
more
then
is
done
resteth
to
be
executed
,
and
in
affairs
wherein
our
hands
must
be
inured
.
For
know
,
that
this
Ladie
(
one
of
the
worlds
beauties
)
is
inamored
of
the
suspitious
knight
,
who
is
the
Prince
of
Croatia
,
that
is
prisoner
,
whose
amitie
made
me
promise
a
thing
inhumane
,
reason
almost
impossible
,
that
maugre
all
the
kingdome
,
I
would
set
her
in
his
hands
,
but
now
I
sée
fortune
hath
broght
it
to
more
facilitie
,
conducting
you
hither
:
and
I
assure
you
,
that
his
noblenesse
and
friendship
deserueth
any
kindnesse
:
wherto
the
Dacian
spake
.
It
is
ynough
to
effect
it
(
Heroicke
Prince
)
if
you
haue
promised
it
,
for
I
by
loosing
my
life
,
do
accomplish
what
I
am
bound
to
.
With
these
animating
reasons
they
arriued
to
the
doore
where
the
Ladie
expected
them
,
with
so
great
feare
seeing
they
staied
so
long
,
that
she
was
a
thousand
times
about
to
go
away
.
The
two
haughtie
warriours
alighted
,
and
the
Prince
giuing
his
watchword
,
the
ioyfull
Lady
opened
the
doore
and
said
:
I
promise
you
dispairing
knight
,
you
behaue
your selfe
so
like
an
ill
prisoner
,
that
another
time
there
wil
be
no
license
to
walke
foorth
,
hauing
made
this
so
long
.
He
replied
,
I
am
so
pleasant
(
excellent
Princesse
)
with
this
imprisonment
,
that
I
wold
ere
I
returned
bring
company
with
me
,
that
the
might
participate
of
the
ioy
here
enioyed
.
A
greater
offence
then
the
committed
,
deserueth
pardon
with
so
good
excuse
.
Conditionally
(
answered
she
)
that
I
know
who
he
is
,
for
séeing
with
what
courage
he
helped
the
Greeke
Prince
,
makes
me
suspect
he
is
of
that
happie
Countrey
.
Claridiano
replied
.
So
great
is
the
desire
I
haue
towards
your
seruice
(
soueraigne
Venus
,
)
that
it
was
able
to
bring
in
my
aide
,
and
your
seruice
no
lesse
then
my
deare
Lord
and
Vnckle
Don
Eleno
,
Prince
of
Dacia
.
Who
had
alreadie
put
off
his
Helme
,
discouering
his
excellent
complexion
,
intreating
the
kissing
of
her
white
hand
.
He
that
hath
them
so
good
(
said
she
)
is
wronged
,
in
not
commaunding
that
honor
of
all
the
Orbe
.
Now
may
I
liue
content
,
knowing
that
the
protectors
of
all
necessities
abides
in
my
Court
:
And
since
in
handling
my
affaires
,
you
make
me
your
euerlasting
friend
,
I
know
not
why
I
should
not
openly
reueale
my
secrets
to
you
,
though
to
my
cost
,
for
it
wil
not
discontent
him
who
hath
placed
all
felicitie
so
faithfully
to
loue
.
And
to
this
end
,
it
wil
be
good
the
Prince
of
Dacia
should
goe
to
the
suspitious
knights
lodging
,
that
he
may
at
large
know
,
what
hereaway
hath
happened
.
To
morrow
I
wil
send
him
one
of
my
Damzels
,
to
shewe
it
him
.
For
it
behoues
the
Gréeke
Prince
to
returne
to
prison
,
least
he
be
mist
.
Whereto
the
Dacian
answered
.
With
whatsoeuer
your
soueraigne
bewtie
shall
commaund
,
will
I
rest
most
contented
.
For
here
now
we
only
wil
procure
yours
,
although
therein
I
hazard
my
life
.
I
hoped
no
lesse
of
such
a
knight
(
said
she
)
for
such
as
you
in
defending
I
receiue
no
wrong
,
ought
to
shewe
they
be
knights
.
And
hereupon
they
departed
,
appointing
that
with
his
Page
and
Dwarffe
,
he
should
go
to
the
groue
of
Louers
,
whither
they
would
aduise
him
by
Fausta
the
next
day
what
shall
be
done
,
and
surely
making
the
doore
fast
,
she
tooke
the
Gréeke
Prince
by
the
hand
,
saying
.
I
am
sorie
renowned
Prince
to
haue
put
you
in
so
many
daungers
in
my
behalfe
.
but
I
trust
in
the
diuine
powers
,
I
shall
one
day
shewe
my selfe
not
vngratefull
:
he
answered
.
Small
is
not
the
wrong
I
receiue
by
those
words
,
your
soueraigne
beautie
being
assured
that
if
I
haue
,
or
shall
haue
any
content
,
it
is
onely
to
procure
yours
,
and
beléeue
me
,
of
little
desert
is
the
hazard
of
my
life
in
so
necessarie
daunger
,
and
so
much
the
more
,
knowing
that
in
Venus
seruice
,
any
perill
is
a
pastime
.
I
le
suffer
my self
to
be
flattered
herein
(
said
she
)
&
that
my
beautie
hath
obtained
so
good
credit
.
And
because
I
thinke
it
is
reason
you
returne
to
the
Tower
,
heere
put
off
your
armour
,
for
these
will
I
kéepe
with
me
,
to
put
me
in
remembrance
how
much
I
am
indebted
to
their
Maister
.
With
such
grace
she
disarmed
him
,
that
she
disgraced
Cynthia
in
her
pride
,
though
then
she
séemed
more
faire
,
then
when
shee
visited
Endymion
.
Hee
tooke
his
leaue
of
the
Ladie
,
and
going
through
the
Caue
,
they
mounted
the
staires
,
where
in
his
chamber
hee
found
his
trustie
Polisandro
,
with
the
discréet
Fausta
;
that
expected
him
with
some
feare
of
his
long
tarrying
,
although
they
had
not
gréeued
had
he
a
little
longer
stayed
,
for
the
damzels
wittie
chat
had
attracted
the
Pages
affection
,
and
were
they
wise
,
they
had
not
deferde
the
execution
of
their
desires
,
since
so
good
opportunitie
the
Gréeke
had
giuen
them
with
his
absence
.
Galtenor
doth
not
expresse
it
onely
,
saith
:
that
when
the
Prince
of
Croacia
went
to
ayde
Greece
,
and
carried
Venus
and
Fausta
with
him
,
that
she
séeing
Polisandro
there
knighted
,
was
contented
to
bee
made
a
Ladie
,
a
manifest
token
for
any
suspected
minde
to
thinke
they
had
contracted
it
.
From
thence
went
the
damzell
accompanied
with
Polisandro
to
Venus
chamber
,
and
returned
to
the
Prince
,
closed
the
Caue
after
him
,
of
whom
he
vnderstood
the
Dacian
was
the
knight
that
helpt
him
.
Who
being
out
of
the
garden
,
mounted
on
his
swift
Tirio
,
and
alighted
in
the
Forrest
he
was
appoynted
,
whither
he
was
directed
(
as
one
that
well
knew
it
)
by
the
dwarffe
,
that
with
him
and
his
Page
in
pleasant
chat
past
away
most
part
of
the
night
,
glad
to
haue
occasion
wherein
he
might
helpe
his
cousin
.
So
the
time
to
take
some
rest
being
come
,
he
stept
aside
from
them
,
and
lying
along
the
gréen
grasse
with
his
head
on
his
helme
,
he
slept
the
greatest
part
of
the
night
,
and
taking
his
shield
,
straight
went
towards
that
place
,
and
comming
to
a
spacious
plaine
,
at
the
farther
end
thereof
,
he
could
discerne
some
shepheards
that
attended
their
flockes
.
They
were
talking
of
their
common-wealth
affaires
,
entermingling
them
with
matters
of
Loue
.
The
haughtie
Dacian
arriued
,
and
assuring
them
from
the
feare
they
conceiued
by
his
comming
,
said
.
Feare
not
gentle
shepheards
,
for
my
comming
is
not
to
discontent
you
,
saue
onely
throughly
to
heare
your
discourses
of
amorous
cares
.
One
of
them
that
séemed
to
commaund
the
rest
,
aunswered
.
Wee
very
much
estéeme
(
sir
Knight
)
of
the
good
opinion
you
haue
of
the
Esclauonian
shepheards
,
and
beléeue
me
,
there
is
no
reason
to
conceiue
the
contrarie
,
especially
of
those
that
féede
their
flockes
in
the
groue
of
Louers
,
for
here
with
most
efficacie
doth
Loue
manifest
his
power
vnto
vs
,
because
true
loue
should
neuer
bee
wanting
,
from
among
these
spreading
mirtles
,
on
whose
leaues
and
growing
barkes
,
is
the
life
of
those
Louers
written
,
to
incourage
him
that
languisheth
,
séeing
what
they
suffered
,
whose
deathes
with
their
names
,
named
this
Groue
.
Great
occasion
gallant
shepheards
,
hath
the
hearing
of
this
Groue
béene
(
replied
the
Dacian
)
to
bring
me
hither
from
my
farre
remoted
countrie
,
to
knowe
the
aduenture
thereof
.
The
shepheards
did
rest
affected
to
him
,
séeing
his
behauiour
:
and
some
more
precisely
noting
him
,
(
hauing
that
day
béene
in
the
Cittie
)
knew
him
to
bee
one
of
the
Knights
that
had
with
such
honour
ended
the
battell
,
so
made
aunswere
.
To
no
place
(
sir
knight
)
could
you
haue
come
,
to
haue
more
truer
information
of
the
thing
you
desire
,
then
this
,
for
beeing
so
long
since
we
haue
kept
our
flockes
heerein
,
we
haue
learned
of
our
elders
why
this
valley
is
called
of
the
Louers
.
Whereto
the
Dacian
saide
:
Why
then
should
I
impute
it
a
fauor
(
if
it
bee
no
trouble
)
to
relate
it
me
,
wherein
you
shall
perpetually
binde
me
?
In
much
more
then
this
(
replied
the
discréet
shepheard
)
desire
we
to
content
yon
,
for
your
déeds
this
day
done
in
Alantho
,
deserue
farre
much
more
.
So
sat
he
downe
among
them
,
where
the
shepheard
began
his
storie
in
this
manner
.
When
here
arriued
the
Author
and
builder
of
this
great
Cittie
,
and
first
King
of
this
countrie
,
there
inhabited
on
the
highest
toppe
of
this
mountaine
,
a
people
whose
quiet
and
pleasing
dwelling
through
their
excellent
gouernment
and
care
,
brought
it
to
bee
the
gallantest
&
most
pleasantest
Town
in
althis
kingdom
.
Lord
of
this
soyle
was
a
knight
,
Celio
by
name
,
the
valiantest
and
of
rarest
constitution
,
then
knowne
in
all
the
vniuerse
,
insomuch
that
he
was
called
the
Oracle
of
his
age
.
He
had
two
brothers
,
the
second
named
Alcyno
,
and
the
third
Larsinio
,
they
had
a
sister
yonger
then
themselues
,
but
elder
in
beautie
,
which
was
such
,
that
from
many
places
strangers
came
only
to
sée
her
perfeéeions
,
on
whom
some
lost
their
liues
at
the
very
first
sight
.
This
Ladie
called
Laissa
,
their
Parents
did
consecrate
to
this
Groue
,
dedicated
to
Diana
,
to
administer
to
her
rites
in
companie
of
her
other
vowesses
,
they
brought
her
there
so
young
,
and
she
so
much
delighted
in
that
solitude
,
giuing
her selfe
solely
to
hunt
,
that
shee
became
so
excéedingly
obliuious
of
her
Parents
and
kindred
,
that
she
procured
by
all
meanes
possible
to
occult
her selfe
from
them
,
and
all
humane
creatures
:
it
was
easie
to
be
done
by
reason
of
the
thicknesse
and
intricate
passages
of
the
same
,
which
was
no
little
ioy
to
her
,
thinking
she
liued
neuer
more
to
be
séene
of
any
.
This
life
did
she
lead
till
the
age
of
fouretéene
yeares
:
for
then
did
her
beautie
staine
the
sunnes
in
his
mid-daies
pride
,
whose
fame
the
other
Nimphes
of
the
Temple
published
abroad
throughout
the
spacious
world
.
One
day
among
the
rest
,
as
Prince
Celio
accustomed
to
recreate
himself
,
descending
this
way
on
hunting
,
he
chansed
to
finde
her
neare
a
cleare
fountaine
that
lies
behinde
this
little
hill
,
called
the
Vnfortunate
,
by
reason
of
that
which
happened
thereat
.
Where
Celio
séeing
her
,
and
of
such
admirable
beautie
,
blame
him
not
if
hée
yéelded
a
thousand
soules
,
(
so
many
if
he
had
)
for
much
more
deserued
her
excellencies
and
most
gracious
brauerie
.
Hee
went
towards
her
,
shewing
by
his
alteration
what
he
went
for
,
and
how
estranged
from
himselfe
he
should
depart
,
at
the
drawing
of
his
attracted
eies
from
her
sight
.
From
her
being
,
rose
the
solitarie
Goddesse
discontented
,
to
haue
met
with
that
knight
,
who
séeing
her
,
disdaining
coynesse
,
followed
to
ouertake
her
,
stayning
her
with
sighes
that
procéeded
from
the
middest
of
his
perplexed
heart
:
but
the
frée
Ladie
carelesse
of
his
cares
,
declared
hers
,
in
onely
hasting
her
swift
running
steppes
,
turning
her
face
,
from
whom
acknowledged
her
for
his
Goddesse
.
Shee
could
not
so
far
outrunne
him
,
but
he
at
last
ouertooke
her
,
and
catching
holde
by
her
thin
sléeue
,
falling
on
his
knées
,
began
thus
.
Oh
sacred
Ladie
,
why
should
you
shew
such
crueltie
against
him
that
must
liue
onely
to
loue
you
,
hoping
for
no
longer
life
then
you
shal
grant
,
admitting
his
deuotion
?
but
oh
,
if
you
shall
ioy
to
prosecute
your
strangenesse
,
let
mee
not
prorogue
your
vengeance
on
my selfe
.
While
this
dagger
is
readie
to
execute
your
sharpe
decree
,
for
so
you
do
remaine
without
displeasure
,
it
will
be
my
pleasure
to
satisfie
your
doome
with
my
death
.
The
crueltie
(
sir
knight
)
you
speake
of
,
should
I
vse
towards
my selfe
?
(
replied
the
disdainfull
Laissa
)
should
I
regard
your
prayers
,
knowing
how
Capitall
the
offence
is
against
the
chaste
Diana
,
whose
Nimphes
(
of
whom
I
being
one
)
are
first
afore
all
other
things
sworn
to
the
puritie
of
a
single
life
?
and
so
my selfe
ioying
in
the
swéetnesse
of
so
choise
a
liuing
as
that
led
in
solitude
,
should
not
then
cruelly
tyrannize
ouer
my
coontent
,
procuring
your
ease
,
to
loose
my
libertie
?
With
many
currents
of
pearled
teares
distilling
from
his
eyes
,
the
amourous
Celio
answered
.
Neuer
(
sacred
Goddesse
)
did
my
imagination
so
much
as
thinke
by
louing
to
worke
my
content
,
in
any
thing
to
abridge
yours
:
onely
I
beséech
(
and
this
is
not
to
offend
you
)
that
though
my
merits
deserue
not
your
sight
,
nor
my selfe
be
woorthie
to
adore
you
,
I
may
to
nourish
my
else
dying
life
,
make
you
solely
to
my selfe
,
the
sole
commandresse
of
my
oppressed
soule
,
and
that
I
may
repaire
to
your
glorious
name
,
with
the
tributarie
duties
of
my
poore
hearts
spoyles
.
Somewhat
milder
grewe
the
sister
of
amorous
Celio
,
for
there
is
no
Ladie
so
cruell
and
vnthankefull
,
but
reioyces
to
be
beloued
,
for
such
vertue
doth
loue
set
in
the
Ladie
loued
,
that
onely
to
deserue
the
gift
to
be
beloued
,
shée
will
loue
.
She
would
haue
answered
,
but
the
comming
of
Alcyno
the
second
brother
interrupted
her
,
who
almost
before
hee
sawe
her
,
rendred
his
soule
vnto
her
,
as
a
pledge
of
his
true
loue
.
The
like
sacrifice
did
the
third
make
of
hs
,
that
then
arriued
,
which
two
last
séeing
their
brother
,
and
with
that
Ladie
,
ere
they
knewe
how
to
loue
,
exprest
approoued
tokens
to
be
iealous
.
To
breake
their
silence
,
the
third
brother
said
.
What
good
fortune
is
this
,
(
good
brother
)
to
méete
with
so
gallant
a
Ladie
in
so
solitarie
a
place
?
So
haue
the
heauens
appointed
it
my
deare
brother
(
replied
Celio
.
)
And
being
nothing
iealous
of
them
,
to
feare
to
say
his
minde
,
added
:
that
the
power
of
my
thoughts
béeing
imployed
on
her
,
my
soule
may
triumph
in
content
to
haue
found
such
a
Soueraigne
.
Most
woorthie
is
her
beautie
(
saide
the
second
)
of
the
offer
of
my
noble
thought
,
whose
reliques
may
solemnize
her
brauerie
:
neither
is
vnoccupied
,
for
Loue
doth
occupie
them
all
.
And
whilest
Alcino
speakes
,
Larsinio
gluts
himselfe
with
gazing
.
And
if
by
chance
all
thrée
be
silent
,
she
by
mouing
the
Organs
of
her
spéech
,
kindles
the
fire
that
vnconsumingly
doth
burne
them
.
Celio
loues
,
and
the
mollified
Lady
looking
on
him
,
by
the
motions
of
her
eye-resplending
sunnes
,
with
infinit
signes
of
hopes
,
doth
incourage
him
to
persist
in
his
moued
sute
:
and
for
his
sake
,
shée
affects
the
other
two
,
knowing
they
were
his
brethren
.
She
exprest
it
by
her
kind
words
,
in
answering
them
.
Such
is
the
condition
of
loue
(
most
bewteous
Ladies
,
credit
me
,
it
is
knowne
by
experience
)
that
any
amorous
motion
how
fained
soeuer
,
is
accepted
of
the
Louer
,
as
a
manifest
token
,
that
onely
he
,
is
he
,
soly
beloued
.
In
like
maner
fell
it
out
with
the
brothers
.
For
as
the
Lady
without
straungenesse
kindly
spake
to
them
,
the
more
to
winne
Celio
to
her selfe
,
either
of
the
others
accounted
themselues
to
be
especially
beloued
.
The
greatest
part
of
the
day
continued
they
in
pleasing
that
,
intangling
themselues
in
the
snares
of
that
deceiuing
net
,
that
there
with
thousand
childish
toyes
did
leape
from
bowe
to
bowe
to
insnare
these
poore
Louers
in
their
owne
vnhappie
conceits
,
vntil
the
withdrawing
time
of
the
recluse
Goddesse
called
her
away
,
which
forced
the
thrée
brothers
to
returne
vnto
their
home
,
purposing
euery
day
to
come
thither
,
in
quest
of
whom
they
loued
,
yet
minding
to
take
their
seuerall
way
.
For
nothing
was
sufficient
to
disswade
the
two
brothers
that
they
were
not
beloued
,
to
desist
the
prosecuting
of
their
intented
loues
.
Sometimes
after
they
spake
with
the
Lady
,
not
knowing
nor
remembring
she
was
their
sister
:
but
she
by
all
exterior
meanes
,
told
the
two
younger
,
she
could
admit
none
saue
the
elder
.
Neuerthelesse
,
so
possest
was
loue
of
the
two
brothers
soules
,
that
in
such
sort
it
blinded
them
,
that
they
would
neuer
beléeue
it
was
as
she
said
,
and
their
owne
eyes
sawe
to
be
most
true
:
for
the
perfect
sincere
loue
which
nourish
them
,
caused
them
to
deuise
the
expedients
meanes
to
end
their
passionated
labors
.
They
found
it
,
and
to
their
liues
cost
:
for
passing
some
moneths
in
this
entertainment
,
one
day
,
dismall
and
blacke
to
this
Countrey
(
since
so
much
calamitie
fel
on
it
)
Larsinio
the
yonger
brother
hastened
his
comming
to
séeke
his
sister
,
clad
all
in
rich
shining
armor
.
He
met
with
her
at
the
vnhappie
Fountaine
(
through
their
lucklesse
euents
so
called
)
in
whose
bubbling
Current
shée
was
washing
her
faire
white
Alabaster
hands
.
His
Beuer
lifted
vp
the
Louer
,
and
nimbly
leaping
from
his
horse
,
went
straight
towards
the
Founte
.
To
receiue
him
ranue
the
Ladie
,
guerdoning
his
comming
with
a
louing
imbrace
,
not
as
to
her
brother
or
Louer
,
but
so
neare
in
ally
to
him
whom
with
heart
she
tendred
,
which
the
Prince
attributed
not
to
Celio
in
fauour
,
nor
his
consanguinitie
to
Laissa
,
saue
to
his
owne
pure
loue
,
which
was
so
great
,
that
he
iudged
himselfe
in
respect
of
deseruer
of
that
courtesie
.
But
Fortune
now
alreadie
wearie
,
and
angrie
the
earth
should
longer
containe
them
,
ordained
Alcino
should
sée
the
imbracement
,
who
not
knowing
his
brother
by
reason
he
was
armed
,
set
spurres
to
his
horse
being
also
in
armes
.
The
Louer
closed
his
Vizor
séeing
the
other
come
in
that
manner
,
and
mounting
on
his
horse
,
stept
to
him
,
saying
.
What
séeke
you
in
such
haste
sir
knight
?
Onely
(
replied
the
second
brother
)
to
let
you
know
the
little
reason
you
had
to
offer
violence
vnto
that
Ladie
.
Inraged
,
as
well
indéed
he
might
,
became
the
vnwary
youth
,
and
not
supposing
he
was
his
brother
,
turned
about
his
Courser
,
and
saide
.
Why
then
staie
bolde
knight
,
for
this
shall
chastise
thy
rude
rashe
intention
.
Alcino
cowched
his
Launce
,
making
their
incounters
with
as
much
noyse
,
as
if
two
shippes
had
met
.
Of
mightie
forces
were
the
youthes
,
and
so
they
prosecuted
their
battle
with
as
much
strength
as
crueltie
,
that
the
Ladie
which
beheld
them
,
could
not
but
pittie
the
blowes
which
Larsinio
receiued
with
some
teares
:
for
the
loue
she
bore
his
brother
,
forced
her
to
shead
them
.
The
second
brother
closed
with
Larsinio
,
striking
away
at
one
stroke
the
halfe
of
his
shield
,
wounding
him
sorely
on
the
arme
,
which
was
occasion
they
cast
eithers
armes
about
the
other
,
with
such
power
,
that
both
fell
from
their
Saddles
to
the
ground
.
Striuing
,
vp
and
downe
they
tumbled
on
the
grasse
,
bespringling
the
earth
with
their
blood
.
When
the
haughtie
Celio
arriued
,
who
séeing
the
battle
,
not
perceiuing
the
Ladie
there
,
lept
from
his
horse
,
and
drawing
forth
his
sword
,
went
towards
them
and
said
.
In
courtesie
sir
knights
,
cease
a
while
your
fights
,
which
causelesse
séemes
to
be
so
fierce
.
Either
was
so
flesht
against
the
other
,
thinking
the
Lady
offended
by
eithers
action
,
that
vnwilling
to
obey
their
elder
brother
,
(
that
being
also
in
rich
abillements
of
warre
was
not
knowne
)
Alcino
made
reply
.
Doo
not
you
sir
knight
séeke
to
part
our
Combat
,
whose
cause
we
haue
adiudged
too
sufficient
.
Notwithstanding
(
said
Celio
)
for
my
sake
and
intreatie
,
I
hope
you
will
leaue
it
.
It
will
be
then
(
answered
the
youngest
)
to
make
you
confesse
you
are
discourteous
,
in
wishing
peace
where
none
is
desired
.
And
so
he
being
got
betwéene
them
,
and
they
both
angred
togither
,
they
discharged
two
such
blowes
vpon
him
,
that
he
repented
to
haue
vndertaken
that
demaund
:
but
being
of
incomparable
strength
,
quickly
setled
himselfe
among
them
,
beginning
one
of
the
fiercest
fights
in
the
world
.
Aboue
two
houres
they
continued
hacking
,
and
without
pittie
cruelly
cutting
their
armes
and
fleshe
,
that
euery
one
had
aboue
eight
wounds
.
The
Ladie
feared
some
vnhappie
chaunce
,
whose
heart
was
so
deliberated
with
feare
to
sée
Larsinio
so
wounded
(
for
the
others
shée
knew
not
)
that
she
could
not
rise
,
nor
with
her
voyce
giue
notice
shée
was
there
:
so
we
gaue
occasion
vnto
the
lamentablest
and
most
vnluckie
act
that
euer
was
acted
.
For
Celio
weary
of
so
long
delay
,
defending
himselfe
of
the
second
brother
,
with
a
cruell
thrust
to
his
thinking
bereaft
poore
Larsinio
of
his
life
,
whose
death
so
extreamly
gréeued
Alcino
,
(
as
if
he
had
knowne
him
)
that
dispairing
of
life
,
did
cast
his
shield
to
the
ground
,
and
closed
with
his
brother
,
who
doing
the
like
,
so
long
wrasled
,
that
both
fell
to
the
earth
,
where
drawing
foorth
their
daggers
,
with
equall
blowes
either
stabbed
in
the
others
bodie
togither
at
once
,
loosing
their
vitall
breathing
,
to
the
Ladies
so
great
sorrow
,
that
she
thought
to
burst
.
She
rose
,
bewayling
that
accursed
happe
,
and
went
to
Larsinio
,
tooke
off
his
Helme
,
and
séeing
him
like
one
dead
,
she
became
more
then
dead
.
Néedes
would
shée
know
the
others
,
which
was
cause
of
greater
euil
,
for
their
Helmes
being
off
and
knowne
who
they
were
,
a
thousande
lamentations
did
shée
breathe
into
the
aire
,
banning
her
misfortune
.
Shée
fell
in
a
traunce
,
and
twise
or
thrise
lost
the
motion
of
her
mouing
powers
,
and
at
length
recouering
her selfe
,
and
seeing
the
thrée
Princes
,
for
her
sake
with
such
remorselesse
sauadgenesse
slaine
,
tearing
the
golden
tramels
of
her
amber
haire
,
whose
bewtie
eclipsed
Apollos
light
,
thus
she
began
her
lament
.
Oh
cruel
heauens
,
wherein
haue
I
deserued
this
mortal
plague
?
Or
how
haue
I
offended
,
you
should
so
much
maligne
my
hopes
,
to
oppose
your
happie
influences
with
such
dire
euent
,
against
the
springing
of
my
ioyes
?
Had
you
suffered
me
to
kéepe
my
life
within
the
limits
of
my
solitary
walks
,
these
Princes
had
not
séene
me
,
and
so
not
viewing
my
ill
bestowed
bewtie
,
they
had
not
desired
what
soly
was
due
to
one
.
Oh
deare
Princes
,
you
should
haue
bene
contented
to
see
your
brother
beloued
,
and
your selues
for
his
sake
affected
,
to
desist
the
procurement
of
your
pleasure
,
with
his
,
and
your
owne
deaths
.
Oh
chaste
Goddesse
,
why
didst
thou
suffer
so
execrable
a
fact
,
hatefull
,
abhorred
and
detestable
were
my
life
vnto
the
world
,
should
I
desire
to
liue
,
that
sawe
the
timelesse
end
of
your
vnripe
yeares
.
For
this
,
oh
this
vaine
momentary
fading
bewtie
!
How
,
oh
how
may
she
(
valiant
Princes
)
recompence
this
déed
,
this
deare
and
amorous
déed
,
but
to
immitate
you
in
death
,
that
did
Idolatrize
me
in
life
?
Reason
had
Tysbe
to
suffer
for
her
Louer
,
and
Hero
,
rather
to
taste
of
the
bitter
waters
of
death
,
then
of
the
actiue
fire
of
loue
,
that
in
her
entrailes
burned
.
None
had
such
reason
to
die
as
I
:
and
in
speaking
it
,
to
prolong
my
despised
life
,
I
doo
offend
:
which
though
I
might
,
I
will
not
enioy
,
in
absence
of
those
thrée
that
did
so
dearly
loue
me
.
Thrée
liues
wold
I
haue
heroike
Princes
,
to
bestow
on
either
one
,
being
debter
vnto
you
for
thrée
,
but
since
I
cannot
,
to
thée
swéete
Celio
,
my
soule
and
heart
I
doo
bequeath
:
my
good
will
and
affection
to
Alcyno
and
Larsinio
,
and
my
poore
chaste
life
,
with
my
immaculate
and
vnspotted
thoughts
,
to
thée
most
sacred
Goddesse
do
I
I
sacrifice
,
in
extenuation
of
my
fault
.
Wherevpon
with
mortall
fury
she
drew
Celios
sword
,
and
setting
her
brest
to
the
sharpe
point
,
she
offered
her
life
to
deaths
tryumphing
spoiles
.
Which
no
sooner
was
effected
,
but
the
blew
heauens
with
thicke
fogs
and
mysts
was
clowded
,
with
thundring
and
lightning
,
and
innumerable
horrible
voyces
,
that
strooke
deadly
terror
in
the
harmelesse
people
,
who
with
their
flockes
and
heards
of
cattle
,
perished
.
Their
bodies
were
neuer
found
,
nor
if
is
not
knowne
what
is
become
of
them
,
more
then
that
their
liues
and
deaths
,
with
the
maner
and
occasion
,
was
found
carued
in
carrecters
vpon
some
Okes
there
adioyning
,
where
some
shepheards
haue
often
séene
a
Caue
,
from
whence
issues
such
flames
and
smoake
,
that
it
consumed
the
Trées
neare
to
it
,
and
it
is
many
yeares
,
since
none
dares
through
feare
let
their
flocks
féed
thereabouts
.
This
is
(
sir
knight
)
what
you
haue
demaunded
,
and
of
so
many
reports
the
truest
:
where
the
shepheard
ended
.
Naturally
was
the
Prince
couragious
and
desirous
of
such
aduentures
,
and
so
very
earnest
did
he
inquire
for
the
Caue
,
determining
to
enter
and
see
what
it
contained
.
The
shepheards
shewed
it
him
more
to
content
him
,
then
to
thinke
he
would
aduenture
to
descend
thither
.
But
being
hard
by
it
,
with
inuincible
courage
(
in
the
end
like
Don
Eleno
)
hee
tolde
them
his
will
.
They
sorrowed
thereat
,
&
with
no
fewe
teares
they
sought
to
disswade
him
from
it
,
yet
nothing
could
put
him
from
his
purpose
,
respecting
neither
theirs
,
Fabios
,
nor
his
dwarffes
intreaties
:
but
drawing
foorth
his
sword
,
and
taking
his
inchaunted
shielde
,
hee
recommanded
himselfe
to
his
heauenly
Protector
,
and
them
to
expect
his
returne
,
and
so
directed
his
steppes
towards
the
infernell
Caue
,
where
what
happened
him
,
the
next
recounteth
.
CHAP.
V.
How
Don
Eleno
proued
the
aduenture
of
the
Louers
,
and
what
end
he
gaue
it
.
And
how
in
Xantho
he
made
a
challenge
about
the
two
Princes
liberties
.
WIth
Brutus
sword
in
hand
,
and
his
new
inchanted
shield
,
with
maiestick
steps
marching
towards
the
timorous
caue
,
(
most
kind
Ladie
)
left
we
the
Dacian
Prince
,
with
whom
neither
the
intreaties
of
his
Pages
nor
shepheardes
,
preuailed
to
giue
ouer
his
commenced
enterprise
:
neither
the
necessitie
wherein
he
knew
he
had
left
his
deare
Cosin
Claridiano
,
&
the
beautious
Venus
,
with
the
Prince
of
Croacia
,
for
his
desire
to
knowe
what
that
feareful
caue
contained
,
made
him
dispence
with
all
these
,
and
drowne
the
memorie
of
his
owne
affaires
in
the
center
of
obliuion
.
So
with
Herculian
courage
committing
his
safetie
to
the
powers
diuine
,
he
beganne
to
enter
the
terror-bréeding
Caue
,
that
rather
séemed
an
infernall
descent
vnto
the
hellish
vawtes
,
so
much
,
and
so
furious
was
the
fire
that
thither
welcommed
him
:
from
vtter
burning
by
those
consuming
flames
did
dispairing
Brutus
inchaunted
armor
defend
him
:
yet
neuerthelesse
felt
he
the
greatest
paine
in
all
his
life
:
for
besides
innumerable
number
of
horrible
voyces
that
sounded
within
that
hollownesse
,
many
thousand
hideous
deformed
shapes
and
apparitions
opposed
themselues
against
him
,
with
stéeled
mases
hammering
on
his
bodie
,
with
such
seleritie
,
that
sometimes
his
handes
,
then
his
knées
,
and
sometimes
both
,
he
was
forced
to
sit
on
the
ground
:
insomuch
that
his
own
blows
wherwith
he
strook
the
emptie
aire
,
serued
to
no
other
purpose
,
but
with
the
fruitlesse
exercise
to
wearie
his
arme
,
that
he
could
not
féele
it
.
In
this
vneuen
warre
labored
he
about
an
houre
,
minding
many
times
to
returne
backe
,
so
erterne
hot
was
the
fier
,
but
surprised
with
consideration
of
whom
hee
was
,
and
what
ignominious
infamie
awaighted
such
an
act
,
with
much
striuing
hee
obtained
the
ende
of
the
burning
Caue
,
where
he
met
with
a
great
Piller
,
which
nothing
displeased
him
,
that
by
getting
behinde
it
,
might
defend
him
from
his
pursuers
.
But
here
was
he
in
the
greatest
daunger
of
all
his
life
time
,
for
the
Piller
he
imbraced
,
became
a
most
fearefull
Gyant
,
who
so
strongly
prest
him
,
that
he
thrust
his
armor
within
his
flesh
,
and
the
flames
being
no
lesse
,
that
from
him
procéeded
,
then
those
he
indured
thitherward
.
Hee
strongly
stayed
himselfe
,
remembring
whom
hee
had
to
doo
with
,
and
casting
his
mightie
armes
about
him
,
turned
him
vp
and
downe
as
if
hee
had
béene
some
common
Knight
,
till
angered
that
so
long
that
wrasts
had
lasted
,
hee
hoysed
him
from
the
ground
,
and
with
the
vtmost
of
his
strength
ranne
him
against
the
wall
,
that
terminated
the
Caue
.
Scarce
had
he
done
it
,
when
vanishing
,
in
his
place
he
loft
a
doore
,
through
which
with
vncontrowled
minde
he
entred
,
comming
into
a
fresh
delightsome
gréene
,
with
such
different
varietie
of
trées
in
such
artificiall
order
set
,
that
the
sight
eased
him
of
his
past
toyle
.
At
one
end
thereof
he
sawe
a
sumptuous
building
,
séeming
not
by
humane
hands
erected
,
for
the
top
raised
like
to
a
Pyramide
,
séemed
to
checke
the
clowdes
in
height
,
and
as
the
same
reuerberated
on
the
glittering
stones
,
the
great
splendor
thereof
dazeled
the
beholders
eyes
.
At
the
entrance
thereof
stood
thrée
pines
,
to
support
so
many
Arches
,
vnder
which
lay
three
Knights
,
which
séemed
to
defend
the
entrie
.
The
one
and
biggest
in
constitution
of
bodie
,
was
cladde
in
Indian
colour
armour
,
with
many
Lillies
grauen
there
vpon
.
And
on
his
shielde
,
that
hung
at
the
trée
,
was
figured
the
portrature
of
Faith
,
with
this
word
.
On
earth
if
any
honour
bee
,
All
tride
honour
comes
by
mee
.
The
other
two
were
alike
in
skie
colour
armes
,
full
of
strawberies
,
and
on
their
shields
Enuie
pictured
with
many
eyes
,
as
the
Assirians
vsed
to
paint
her
,
the
inscription
thus
.
Enuies
seruants
thousands
are
,
All
which
mischiefes
do
deuise
:
Then
to
looke
on
each
ones
care
,
Enuie
must
haue
many
eyes
.
All
thrée
shewed
themselues
to
be
of
valour
,
which
made
the
Dacian
Lord
imagine
(
as
indéed
they
were
)
.
Laissas
brothers
.
Before
the
Arches
there
was
made
a
horse
race
,
at
the
beginning
whereof
,
hung
a
Table
with
these
words
,
whose
meaning
Don
Eleno
read
thus
.
In
the
time
to
come
,
when
the
most
happiest
in
Loue
,
and
with
whom
Fortune
hath
shewed
her selfe
most
fauourable
,
shall
here
arriue
,
then
this
aduenture
of
the
Louers
shall
haue
ende
:
and
also
the
torments
that
Laissa
suffers
:
for
so
hath
Nycosiano
the
great
Magician
of
the
Greene
valley
ordered
.
Plainly
did
the
Dacian
perceiue
,
that
the
Table
spake
by
him
,
since
through
so
many
misfortunes
he
had
arriued
to
so
happie
a
Hauen
,
as
the
inioying
of
his
beautious
Rosamonde
.
With
gallant
Maiestie
he
entred
the
race
,
being
confronted
by
the
younger
of
the
thrée
brothers
.
The
rest
séeing
the
warre
offered
them
,
mounted
on
their
Coursers
preparing
for
it
,
as
they
which
had
no
more
iudgement
,
but
for
that
,
Iudge
of
the
battell
néeds
would
Cupid
be
,
the
mightie
K.
of
Sowles
and
Hartes
,
sitting
in
all
royaltie
on
a
Imperiall
throne
,
for
workemanship
stupendious
,
shewing
himselfe
(
his
eyes
not
blinded
)
with
irefull
aspect
.
At
his
féet
lay
prostrated
all
those
that
had
rebelled
against
his
decrée
.
But
they
which
had
maintained
his
statutes
,
and
obserued
his
laws
,
and
with
vaine
Idolatrie
adored
his
rights
,
sate
round
about
in
royall
chaires
,
euerie
one
in
his
degrée
,
according
to
the
supremacie
of
his
deserts
:
and
with
most
care
of
obedience
acknowledging
his
feoltie
,
repairing
to
him
with
the
due
tribute
of
his
soule
,
as
to
their
true
sworne
Prince
.
The
signall
of
the
fight
was
giuen
with
so
many
thousandes
of
militarie
instruments
,
as
if
heauen
and
earth
should
méete
.
Whereat
swifter
then
an
ayrie
thought
,
the
warrelike
warriour
prickt
against
Larsinio
,
incountring
him
with
such
strength
,
that
he
forced
him
loose
his
stirropes
and
bridle
,
&
had
almost
ouerthrown
him
from
his
saddle
.
With
braue
gallantnesse
past
the
Dacian
forwards
,
turning
vpon
his
aduersarie
with
his
naked
sword
in
his
hand
,
but
scant
had
he
done
so
,
when
quicker
then
the
winde
,
the
second
brother
spurde
against
him
,
running
at
his
backe
with
such
force
,
that
had
he
not
held
by
his
horse
necke
,
he
had
kist
the
ground
.
He
had
not
done
executing
this
blow
,
when
like
a
thunderbolte
the
mightie
Celio
departed
to
him
,
méeting
him
(
after
the
breaking
of
his
launce
)
so
forcibly
with
his
horses
breast
,
that
both
tumbled
to
the
ground
.
On
his
féete
fell
the
Dacian
,
amazed
at
the
knights
deuise
:
who
gaue
him
no
longer
time
for
this
consideration
,
for
the
two
that
on
horsebacke
remained
,
returned
to
ouerthrow
him
.
Hee
could
not
defend
himself
,
for
the
course
was
short
,
and
so
headlong
they
ouerturned
him
.
Ere
he
could
rise
,
Celio
stept
to
him
,
with
the
greatest
blow
he
had
in
al
his
life
receiued
,
for
it
had
almost
strooke
him
sencelesse
,
laying
him
all
along
vpon
the
earth
.
All
this
was
no
meanes
to
put
the
Dacian
from
his
skilfull
procéeding
,
for
ere
he
could
second
another
,
like
a
furious
Lyon
he
rose
on
his
féet
,
resolued
to
expect
them
.
Hee
sawe
himselfe
in
daunger
of
death
,
for
the
two
that
remained
on
horsebacke
,
(
with
quicke
and
suddaine
carriers
)
so
opprest
him
,
as
he
lost
his
hope
,
with
honour
to
issue
out
of
that
enterprise
.
Among
the
horses
he
setled
himselfe
strongly
.
A
thing
worthie
his
valour
he
did
,
for
his
shield
forwards
,
he
expected
Larsinio
,
that
to
incounter
him
had
aduanced
himselfe
,
but
no
more
he
mooued
him
,
then
if
he
had
runne
against
a
rock
,
whom
with
his
horse
staggering
back
,
the
Dacian
forced
to
fall
,
whereat
the
Prince
was
glad
,
knowing
that
on
foote
he
could
better
deale
with
them
.
So
he
stept
aside
,
letting
Alcino
passe
,
and
as
he
went
,
gaue
him
such
a
thrust
,
which
was
it
that
assured
him
the
victorie
,
making
him
therewith
,
maugre
his
strength
,
to
leaue
his
saddle
.
For
all
this
he
had
no
cause
to
boast
of
the
blowe
:
for
the
inraged
Celio
ranne
to
him
with
both
hands
laying
on
his
rich
helme
,
the
temper
gaue
him
his
life
,
else
had
his
head
downe
to
his
necke
béene
diuided
,
yet
made
he
the
blood
in
great
abundance
gush
through
his
nose
.
By
this
were
the
other
two
vp
with
their
swords
in
hand
.
It
was
a
combat
most
worthie
Cupids
sight
,
for
the
thrée
are
mightie
,
and
the
Dacian
the
same
he
was
woont
,
and
a
foote
stronger
then
Mars
,
hée
shewed
himselfe
like
a
cunning
fencer
,
setting
forth
at
length
his
shield
and
sword
,
to
intice
them
to
make
offer
.
Herein
hee
preuailed
,
for
most
blowes
he
receiued
on
his
shield
,
which
being
inpenetrable
,
they
did
not
so
much
as
race
it
.
In
this
manner
a
while
he
behaued
himselfe
,
but
hee
iudged
it
cowardise
so
to
end
the
battell
:
wherefore
brauely
he
rusht
among
them
,
well
couering
himselfe
with
his
shield
,
and
as
hee
past
,
he
gaue
the
second
brother
such
a
counterbuffe
on
the
helme
,
striking
away
a
great
part
of
his
vizor
that
it
was
aduenture
he
had
not
done
so
by
his
head
.
Downe
along
the
breast
descended
the
sword
,
making
there
a
long
daungerous
wound
,
with
another
he
would
haue
ended
that
battell
,
had
the
other
two
let
him
.
But
the
haughtie
Celio
with
impoysoned
rage
entred
so
much
inwards
,
that
at
his
pleasure
hee
could
discharge
his
furie
on
the
toppe
of
the
inchaunted
shield
,
not
able
to
cut
it
,
yet
so
waightie
was
the
blow
,
that
thrée
or
foure
steppes
staggering
backwards
,
it
forced
him
.
Larsinio
was
not
ydle
,
for
with
a
strong
point
he
thrust
at
his
brest
.
He
felt
the
blow
,
for
it
depriued
him
of
his
breaths
passage
.
The
two
brothers
had
not
discharged
their
blowes
,
when
the
wounded
Alcyno
returned
,
and
with
both
hands
gaue
him
a
most
mightie
stroke
.
Rezound
with
Eccho
did
the
gréene
fields
,
by
the
warriors
sterne
stupendious
blowes
.
And
the
angrie
Iudge
was
astonished
to
sée
with
what
crueltie
they
assayled
each
other
.
Aduantage
had
the
warrelike
Dacian
in
his
armour
,
for
though
he
was
tired
,
yet
they
had
no
scarre
.
Otherwise
was
it
with
the
brothers
,
for
the
fielde
was
besprinkled
with
their
blood
.
Don
Elenos
celeritie
much
auailed
him
,
else
he
had
not
got
the
victorie
so
cheape
,
but
it
and
the
surenesse
of
his
armes
,
makes
it
certaine
.
Thrée
houres
haue
they
fought
,
making
no
shewe
of
fainting
,
in
the
end
of
which
,
was
the
Dacian
alreadie
at
the
extreamest
of
his
rage
,
thinking
he
had
the
worst
of
the
fight
,
so
casting
his
shield
at
his
backe
,
and
with
his
sword
twixt
both
hands
,
began
to
brandish
it
among
them
,
quicker
then
the
Cyclopian
Smithes
doo
their
crooked
hammers
,
and
as
he
could
not
misse
them
,
he
gaue
no
blowe
but
fetcht
blood
.
In
the
selfe
same
Coyne
doo
they
paie
him
:
for
the
thrée
more
fiercer
then
Alcydes
,
assayled
him
so
brauely
,
that
if
he
giues
,
he
receiues
,
and
in
greater
quantitie
,
with
equall
quallitie
.
Now
skill
and
dexteritie
preuailes
not
with
him
,
all
he
remits
to
blowes
,
wherewith
he
rents
,
cuts
,
and
in
péeces
shiuers
their
armor
,
priuy
coates
and
shields
.
He
would
first
dispatch
Celio
which
most
troubled
him
,
so
getting
from
the
two
,
entered
to
him
,
and
in
his
assault
,
with
a
downright
blowe
he
cut
away
his
shield
,
with
al
his
vanbrace
,
and
a
great
péece
of
his
shoulder
.
Scarce
had
he
done
it
,
when
with
a
point
he
turned
against
the
second
,
thrusting
thrée
parts
of
his
sword
vnder
his
arme
pit
,
where
had
he
put
foorth
his
arme
as
he
mought
,
for
euer
had
he
there
laine
.
Vpon
Larsinos
waste
he
discharged
his
furie
so
fiercely
,
that
it
was
a
wonder
he
had
not
in
two
diuided
him
.
The
heauens
preserued
him
to
paie
his
iealousie
,
although
against
the
Dacian
Prince
he
lost
thereby
.
In
his
very
soule
was
Celio
vext
,
to
sée
with
what
rygor
that
one
knight
handled
them
,
that
taking
his
sword
strongly
in
his
fist
,
aymed
aloft
,
giuing
Alcyno
time
to
giue
him
a
dangerous
blow
on
the
thigh
:
for
falling
betwéene
a
ioynt
,
it
made
him
a
wound
outwards
:
so
great
was
the
paine
,
as
he
could
not
stand
on
that
legge
,
which
the
brothers
perceiuing
,
and
assuring
themselues
the
victory
,
began
to
oppresse
him
so
vehemently
,
as
they
depriued
him
of
breathing
.
Eager
herein
séemed
the
third
brother
,
and
would
make
some
shewe
of
his
valour
,
but
it
rezulted
to
his
deare
cost
.
For
Don
Eleno
noting
his
intent
,
gaue
back
,
as
fearing
the
rest
,
and
so
let
the
third
enter
:
who
being
within
his
reach
,
with
incredible
force
laide
him
on
the
head
,
he
cut
away
most
of
his
Helme
,
with
a
great
péece
of
his
head
,
tumbling
him
at
his
féete
,
helping
him
thereto
,
with
another
no
lesse
strong
.
The
other
two
closed
with
him
,
lamenting
the
successe
.
He
could
not
refuse
the
wrasle
.
He
entred
thereto
aduisedly
,
first
drawing
foorth
his
dagger
,
quickly
they
fell
on
the
ground
,
where
they
tumbled
a
good
while
.
It
was
aduantage
for
the
Dacian
to
be
so
,
for
stretching
foorth
his
arme
in
that
place
where
before
Alcyno
was
wounded
on
the
front
,
there
againe
Don
Eleno
strooke
him
,
making
him
loose
his
hold
,
with
the
pangs
of
death
.
Then
he
turned
on
the
first
,
whom
for
his
valour
he
had
affected
,
but
at
that
instant
forgetting
it
,
let
flie
at
his
brest
a
most
cruell
stabbe
,
wherewith
he
ended
the
brauest
aduenture
euer
in
that
kingdome
knowne
.
The
noyse
which
the
haughtie
edefice
made
,
vanishing
away
,
was
heard
through
all
the
Citie
of
Xantho
.
To
Cupids
Throne
was
the
Ladie
conueyed
,
in
that
manner
,
as
she
witnessed
her
brothers
deaths
:
whom
the
God
of
loue
thanked
for
her
amorous
act
,
in
giuing
her selfe
the
mortall
stroke
of
death
,
only
mooued
through
zealous
loue
,
for
which
hee
promised
her
felicitie
in
her
amours
.
Against
the
two
brothers
that
were
causers
of
that
vnhappy
euent
,
was
the
sentence
read
to
this
effect
.
To
the
purgatorie
of
Iealousie
and
Enuie
let
them
be
carried
,
where
they
may
purge
the
paine
that
their
rash
vnaduised
procéedings
did
put
the
famous
Celio
in
.
Whom
the
mightie
Iudge
commaunded
to
be
sent
vnto
the
house
of
Hope
,
where
he
might
liue
in
ioy
,
and
sure
he
should
obtaine
a
glorious
and
amorous
ende
,
deserued
by
his
faith
,
and
that
the
remembrance
of
louing
his
sister
,
should
not
annoy
him
.
This
being
done
in
presence
of
the
Dacian
,
who
vnable
to
stirre
,
with
many
flashes
of
lightning
,
the
heauens
were
somewhat
darkened
,
till
all
was
past
,
he
founde
himselfe
in
the
open
field
,
hard
by
the
bewteous
Layssa
,
and
before
them
a
Piller
of
fire
,
with
these
words
which
Don
Eleno
did
read
in
this
maner
.
The
Purgatory
of
Enuiers
shall
here
remaine
,
iustly
punishing
the
two
Louers
:
til
the
sonne
of
the
cruell
Lyonesse
shall
giue
them
libertie
:
Discouering
also
the
Castle
of
Hope
:
whose
wonders
shall
not
be
by
any
seene
,
till
the
foure
most
fiercest
Lyonesses
shal
meet
at
this
Fount
.
So
greatly
desired
the
Prince
to
see
the
scrole
,
that
hee
sawe
not
the
Ladie
,
till
turning
about
,
hee
spyed
her
come
towardes
him
a
pace
,
alreadie
assured
of
the
true
manner
of
this
successe
,
and
how
she
was
sister
to
the
dead
:
yet
knowing
they
remained
but
inchaunted
,
ioyfully
going
neare
him
,
said
.
I
knowe
not
(
most
soueraigne
knight
)
how
I
may
satisfie
the
dutie
you
haue
bound
me
too
,
in
hazarding
your
life
for
me
in
so
manifest
a
perill
:
although
so
braue
a
déed
as
this
,
brings
with
it
his
due
recompence
.
It
is
sufficient
(
excellent
Ladie
)
answered
the
Prince
,
that
it
bée
knowne
,
I
did
you
therein
some
seruice
,
which
bound
all
the
world
(
seeing
what
wrong
you
indured
,
being
kept
heere
)
to
procure
the
remedie
.
The
comming
of
the
shepheards
,
Squire
and
Dwarffe
,
intercepted
their
farther
spéech
.
Euerie
one
did
their
dutie
to
the
Prince
and
Ladie
.
Whom
Don
Eleno
receiued
,
as
if
he
had
not
in
a
long
time
seene
them
.
At
this
time
entred
the
same
an
infinit
number
of
knights
,
accompanying
the
king
and
the
Prince
Lindauro
,
that
galloped
amaine
to
know
the
newes
.
The
shepheards
aduanced
themselues
,
for
reward
of
the
newes
,
saying
:
that
the
russet
knight
which
had
ended
the
battel
in
the
Cittie
,
had
terminated
the
Louers-aduenture
.
It
greatly
gladded
euery
one
for
Laissas
disinchauntment
:
though
being
done
by
Don
Eleno
,
it
nothing
pleased
the
king
,
that
in
his
heart
did
hate
him
.
By
this
approached
the
Dacian
on
his
mightie
Tyrio
,
bringing
the
Lady
behinde
him
,
so
faire
,
that
she
affected
euery
one
,
and
had
not
Lindauro
borne
so
great
good
will
towards
Venus
,
doubtlesse
he
had
elected
her
his
Goddesse
.
The
King
entertained
him
with
better
exterior
shewe
,
then
inward
minde
,
thanking
him
for
the
good
he
had
done
in
his
kingdome
.
The
Dacian
would
not
(
after
hee
had
replyed
with
his
becomming
dutie
)
treat
of
any
thing
touching
the
prisoners
liberties
,
but
rather
deuised
other
matter
of
discourse
,
till
they
all
fixed
their
eyes
on
a
gallant
Knight
,
that
descended
downe
the
valley
so
well
armed
,
that
it
delighted
euery
one
.
None
there
but
gazed
on
him
,
and
the
Ladie
with
somewhat
more
earnestnesse
:
and
with
affection
beganne
to
commend
his
brauerie
.
He
was
mounted
on
a
mightie
Rone
Courser
,
his
armor
of
a
Tawnie
,
garnished
with
many
gréene
flowers
,
which
brauely
became
him
.
His
shield
about
his
arme
,
in
middest
whereof
was
a
knight
lying
along
,
laying
foorth
his
breasts
to
Cupid
,
that
with
a
dart
angerly
séemed
to
threaten
him
with
this
Motto
.
Strike
home
,
the
Gods
will
sure
his
woorth
commend
,
Who
spoyles
a
wretch
,
that
wants
meanes
to
defend
.
His
launce
he
carried
in
his
hand
,
and
with
such
heroicke
grace
,
that
excepting
the
knights
which
ended
the
battell
,
they
had
not
séene
any
of
better
disposition
.
Approaching
and
doing
his
dutie
to
the
king
,
he
straight
knew
Don
Eleno
by
his
deuise
,
which
not
a
little
pleased
him
to
méete
him
in
those
partes
,
for
he
himself
was
the
mightie
Bransmiano
,
Prince
of
Babilon
,
Florions
Nephew
,
and
sonne
to
Brandizel
,
and
hee
that
in
Grecia
was
chosen
for
the
third
chalenger
of
the
Imperiall
Iousts
,
and
going
with
his
father
to
Babilon
,
was
separated
from
him
by
a
tempest
.
The
youth
was
not
in
loue
,
but
came
in
the
last
condition
of
béeing
,
for
turning
about
and
looking
on
that
Ladie
,
in
recompence
of
his
sight
,
hee
gaue
her
both
heart
and
soule
,
and
yet
complained
of
himselfe
to
haue
giuen
her
no
more
,
iudging
her
beautie
to
deserue
farre
more
.
The
king
demaunded
who
he
was
,
ioying
that
such
a
knight
should
arriue
at
his
Court
.
But
he
excused
himselfe
the
best
hee
could
,
imagining
that
his
discouerie
might
displease
the
Dacian
.
The
king
would
not
séeme
to
importune
him
ouer
much
therein
,
so
turning
about
,
returned
with
all
his
traine
to
the
Cittie
.
It
was
alreadie
knowne
in
euerie
place
what
had
happened
,
&
Venus
had
aduertised
the
Greeke
thereof
,
who
was
excéeding
glad
of
his
Vncles
aduenture
.
All
the
popularitie
entertained
the
Dacian
with
loude
salutations
of
immortall
praises
,
saying
:
Long
liue
the
knight
that
hath
so
honoured
our
land
.
It
so
vext
Lindauro
,
that
a
thousand
times
he
was
about
to
command
them
to
silence
,
but
he
dissembled
it
to
conceale
his
euill
intent
.
So
neare
went
the
new
Persian
Louer
to
Laissa
,
that
all
full
of
affection
,
he
tooke
occasion
to
speake
thus
.
With
reason
may
your
soueraigne
beautie
complaine
of
all
knights
,
for
being
so
remisse
in
procuring
your
libertie
,
that
they
might
loose
theirs
.
The
Ladie
well
vnderstood
him
,
for
shee
was
skilfull
in
the
Art
of
Loue
,
and
now
againe
beginning
therein
,
plainly
coniectured
the
end
,
so
replying
to
the
purpose
,
saide
.
Of
my selfe
may
I
most
lament
(
sir
knight
)
to
be
borne
with
such
lacke
of
fortune
,
that
I
rather
attribute
my
long
imprisonment
to
it
,
then
to
the
fault
of
straunger
knight
,
for
being
ended
by
this
knight
,
that
was
the
first
which
prooued
it
,
it
might
haue
happened
so
to
any
other
,
wherefore
I
am
solely
gréeued
with
mine
owne
misfortune
:
and
sorry
would
I
be
,
that
my
libertie
should
cause
such
losse
as
you
speake
of
,
for
I
would
haue
none
complaine
of
wrong
by
me
.
They
arriued
at
the
Pallace
,
where
the
beautious
Laissa
lighted
in
the
armes
of
the
Prince
of
Babylon
,
being
led
by
the
aydes
of
Don
Eleno
and
Bransiniano
,
which
content
not
a
little
increased
her
beautie
.
More
fairer
then
the
sunne
in
May
Venus
expected
her
comming
.
They
embraced
one
another
with
that
kindnesse
that
befitted
their
estates
,
wherevpon
the
Princesse
said
.
I
knowe
not
soueraigne
Lady
,
to
whom
this
Court
shall
be
hereafter
most
bound
vnto
,
whether
to
this
knight
,
that
with
his
valour
hath
so
honoured
it
,
liberating
you
from
so
iniust
prison
,
or
to
your
excellencie
,
that
so
hath
beautified
it
.
The
Dacian
replying
said
.
Most
beauteous
Princesse
,
bee
assured
that
whilest
you
liue
,
there
will
want
none
that
shall
bee
in
your
debt
,
lesse
then
with
his
life
,
since
you
attribute
to
me
,
what
onely
is
due
with
such
right
to
this
Ladies
beautie
,
in
whose
deliuerance
the
ending
of
this
aduenture
was
nothing
.
Readie
to
burst
with
anger
stood
Lindauro
,
séeing
with
what
kindnesse
Venus
spake
to
that
knight
,
which
made
him
suspect
his
ending
the
aduenture
,
and
what
he
had
done
in
the
place
,
had
mooued
her
to
affection
.
He
could
no
longer
indure
it
,
but
called
him
,
saying
.
Come
(
sir
Knight
)
and
relate
vnto
the
King
what
befell
you
with
the
Louers
,
for
we
shall
all
reioyce
to
heare
it
.
From
the
Ladies
he
went
,
leauing
the
Persian
with
them
,
betwéen
whom
they
admitted
him
:
for
which
place
,
Phoebus
had
exchanged
his
throne
celestiall
.
Venus
while
Don
Eleno
discoursed
with
the
kings
,
demaunded
of
him
in
this
manner
.
Sir
knight
,
quietly
and
without
grudge
,
if
you
will
enioy
so
great
a
fauour
as
this
,
you
must
tell
vs
your
name
,
raising
your
beauer
,
and
this
small
satisfaction
shall
satisfie
so
high
a
benefit
?
The
Persian
replied
.
I
had
ere
this
done
it
(
sacred
Princesse
)
without
demaunde
,
but
I
feared
to
displease
thereby
the
knight
in
russet
:
for
although
hée
hath
not
knowne
me
,
I
could
not
haue
met
with
better
hap
then
him
in
this
countrie
,
and
if
he
bee
here
knowne
,
I
will
declare
my
name
,
else
I
beséech
your
excellencie
,
do
not
commaund
it
me
.
I
onely
am
she
(
of
all
this
kingdome
containes
,
said
Venus
)
that
knowes
him
,
and
he
not
a
little
ioyed
,
discouered
himselfe
to
me
:
and
so
without
feare
may
you
tell
me
yours
,
for
this
Ladie
and
my selfe
excepted
,
none
shall
euer
knowe
it
.
To
satisfie
your
content
(
excellent
Ladie
answered
he
)
I
le
no
longer
conceale
it
,
I
am
Bransiniano
,
Prince
of
Babylon
and
Persia
,
the
greatest
friend
the
Gréekes
haue
,
by
reason
my
father
was
brought
vp
in
company
of
the
Emperour
Alphebo
,
and
I
in
Claridianos
,
in
whose
demaund
I
wander
,
&
as
this
knight
is
his
so
neare
kinsman
,
I
cannot
but
affect
him
:
and
had
I
not
this
reason
,
yet
his
valour
bindes
me
to
his
loue
:
and
raising
his
vizor
,
shewed
his
faire
face
,
saying
.
Because
you
shall
be
assured
(
diuine
Ladies
)
how
much
I
desire
your
seruice
,
I
haue
discouered
all
that
of
my selfe
I
can
.
I
do
highly
estéeme
(
braue
Prince
replied
Venus
)
the
account
you
haue
giuen
me
of
your
stocke
,
and
because
I
will
not
long
be
your
debtor
for
the
same
,
I
will
giue
you
newes
of
that
Gréeke
you
séeke
,
who
in
this
Pallace
is
prisoner
,
vnknowne
to
any
what
he
is
,
saue
to
the
Prince
of
Dacia
and
me
,
who
shall
at
large
acquaint
you
with
the
cause
,
which
is
not
lawfull
any
other
should
know
:
and
so
I
intreate
your
soueraigne
beautie
,
my
deare
Laissa
,
to
conceale
it
.
So
eleuated
in
contemplations
of
her
new
amorous
thoghts
,
was
the
Lady
,
that
neither
it
,
nor
what
else
was
talked
of
,
did
she
marke
,
for
of
none
did
euer
loue
with
more
power
take
possession
,
willingly
making
her
submit
,
séeing
how
great
a
Prince
he
was
.
She
replied
not
to
the
purpose
,
saying
.
I
greatly
desire
(
excellent
Princesse
)
that
since
your
knight
hath
recounted
to
them
their
demaundes
,
he
doo
it
heere
to
vs
.
Venus
knew
not
to
what
end
shee
so
replied
,
but
being
wittie
,
quickly
conceiued
what
might
be
the
reason
,
so
dissembling
it
,
said
.
There
is
no
reason
but
we
should
bee
satisfied
herein
.
So
calling
their
Damzell
Fausta
,
sent
her
in
their
behalfe
to
Don
Eleno
.
But
they
could
not
end
to
giue
her
her
charge
,
by
reason
of
a
suddaine
tumult
that
arose
where
the
king
was
.
The
Persian
hearing
it
,
stood
vp
,
and
closing
his
beuer
,
taking
leaue
of
the
Ladies
,
went
towards
the
Dacian
,
at
what
time
somewhat
mooued
,
hee
thus
beganne
.
Gladly
(
most
mightie
king
of
Esclauonia
)
would
I
haue
deferde
vntill
some
other
occasion
,
what
I
will
now
say
,
because
I
would
not
disturbe
this
present
ioy
.
But
so
great
is
the
necessitie
I
haue
to
depart
,
that
it
forceth
me
to
beseech
thee
,
in
respect
of
the
iustice
thou
haste
alwaies
maintained
,
thou
wouldest
be
pleased
to
giue
me
the
prisoners
,
whose
libertie
cost
me
so
much
blood
,
and
my
companion
much
more
,
whose
words
haue
not
suffered
him
to
come
with
me
,
although
he
requested
me
I
should
on
his
behalfe
,
intreate
so
much
of
his
Maiestie
,
since
as
it
séemed
you
rested
content
,
wee
should
about
their
discharge
vndertake
the
battell
.
Consider
it
well
,
and
answere
me
straight
,
for
I
will
immediately
depart
,
publishing
the
iniustice
I
haue
in
thy
Court
receiued
,
through
all
the
world
.
Here
he
ended
,
doing
his
dutie
.
Well
(
said
the
king
)
he
had
reason
,
but
he
was
so
subborned
by
the
Prince
Lindauro
,
that
to
please
him
,
he
chose
rather
to
reiect
it
,
answering
:
I
know
(
braue
knight
)
you
haue
reason
to
demaunde
these
prisoners
,
but
séeing
they
slew
such
great
Princes
,
whose
kindred
crying
out
for
iustice
,
forceth
me
to
detaine
them
.
To
this
saide
Lindaura
,
your
Maiestie
doth
wrong
your
royall
Crowne
and
seat
,
by
so
many
waies
,
and
in
so
many
respects
,
to
giue
this
knight
so
many
satisfactions
of
what
with
great
right
and
iustice
is
done
.
These
words
so
inraged
the
Dacian
,
that
hee
was
almost
resolued
to
strike
him
,
but
hee
staied
himselfe
,
not
willing
to
raise
the
whole
Hall
vppon
him
,
so
hée
replied
.
It
better
would
beséem
thée
Prince
of
Siconia
to
make
known
thy
valour
,
defending
thy
owne
iustice
with
thy
proper
person
,
by
honourable
meanes
,
and
not
by
so
infamous
a
manner
.
And
that
thou
maist
know
what
wrong
is
done
me
,
I
here
alone
challenge
the
fight
against
two
knights
,
whom
thou
shalt
appoynt
about
this
matter
,
or
if
thou
wilt
like
a
good
knight
accept
my
gage
,
I
defie
thée
,
person
to
person
,
giuing
thée
aduantage
for
the
combat
,
(
that
thou
mayest
sée
and
know
my
iustice
)
I
will
combat
on
foote
in
armour
,
without
weapons
,
as
sword
,
dagger
,
and
launce
,
and
thou
shalt
take
the
fielde
,
and
haue
thy
choise
in
armes
.
So
great
was
the
aduantage
,
that
it
was
able
to
turne
a
tender
Lambe
vnto
a
fierce
Lyon
,
and
not
regarding
his
honour
,
hee
did
accept
it
presently
,
from
which
the
king
could
not
disswade
him
.
None
in
the
Hall
,
except
the
Babylonian
Prince
,
but
iudged
the
knights
challenge
to
procéed
of
meere
madnesse
.
Don
Eleno
as
he
had
done
nothing
,
demaunded
the
battell
to
be
straight
,
first
requiring
the
prisoners
to
be
brought
in
field
.
Who
were
straight
aduertised
thereof
.
The
Gréeke
was
nothing
astonished
thereat
,
well
knowing
the
fury
of
his
vncle
.
The
prisoners
surely
guarded
,
were
conducted
to
a
Scaffold
of
purpose
made
for
such
matters
.
They
gréeted
one
another
as
their
affection
did
deserue
,
with
ioy
,
hoping
for
the
good
successe
of
the
battel
.
For
Pollidolpho
knowing
the
Challenger
,
doubted
not
of
victory
.
On
foote
did
the
Dacian
enter
the
fielde
without
any
weapon
:
which
the
Prince
of
Persia
carried
,
and
his
page
ledde
his
horse
to
giue
it
.
The
Combat
ended
,
with
a
leape
did
the
furious
gallant
take
the
Lists
,
compassing
it
about
with
such
quicke
paces
,
as
he
were
mounted
.
Then
stood
he
still
,
gladly
gazing
how
the
Citie
did
vnpeople
it selfe
to
sée
the
Combat
.
The
Ladies
with
their
bewties
made
that
place
a
Paradice
,
although
Venus
&
Layssa
feared
,
séeing
the
Prince
in
so
doubtfull
a
fight
.
Without
any
such
thought
expected
he
the
comming
of
his
enemies
,
whose
entrance
,
the
next
capitulateth
.
CHAP.
VI.
The
battle
that
past
betweene
the
two
Princes
,
with
the
end
thereof
.
The
Prisoners
liberties
,
and
what
happened
.
IF
at
any
time
(
swéete
Ladies
,
wonders
of
this
times
bewtie
)
my
Prince
and
Don
Eleno
,
had
néed
of
your
fauours
,
this
it
is
,
for
I
without
shall
be
forced
abruptly
here
to
stoppe
,
and
he
thinking
that
it
failes
him
,
no
maruell
if
he
feare
his
aduersary
,
that
at
one
end
of
the
place
appeared
,
as
wel
furnished
with
armes
&
weapons
,
as
with
pride
,
mounted
on
a
mightie
white
Courser
,
his
Armor
was
gréene
,
with
many
harts
all
incompassed
with
flames
of
fire
.
In
midst
of
his
shield
were
two
Harts
enchayned
,
with
this
word
.
Both
are
due
to
her
varitie
,
For
modest
grace
,
and
chiefest
bewtie
.
Of
gallant
constitution
séemed
the
Pagan
,
with
the
great
companies
that
accompanied
him
,
euerie
one
assured
of
his
conquest
,
séeing
him
with
such
aduantage
:
besides
,
reputing
him
of
forces
inuincible
.
They
equalled
the
sunne
betweene
them
,
an
auncient
martiall
custome
in
warres
of
that
qualitie
.
Oh
Don
Eleno
,
who
might
sée
thée
on
foote
without
weapons
,
fearelesse
awaight
the
comming
of
thy
valiant
aduersarie
,
who
at
the
fearefull
trumpets
sound
prickt
foorth
,
making
the
earth
with
hoarse
noise
eccho
the
trampling
of
his
horses
hoofes
.
The
Dacian
stayed
for
him
couragiously
,
onely
fearing
the
incounter
in
the
closing
of
the
horse
.
Leaping
aside
,
he
made
him
loose
the
blow
,
and
with
such
furie
passe
foorth
his
carrier
,
that
his
shield
had
almost
leapt
out
of
the
lists
.
Twise
was
he
so
serued
,
but
the
third
he
changed
of
purpose
,
for
brandishing
with
mightie
force
the
launce
with
such
seleritie
,
he
cast
it
at
him
,
that
his
was
not
sufficient
to
make
him
shun
the
receiuing
it
vpon
his
amorous
breast
,
it
could
not
pearce
it
,
for
that
onely
Loue
had
done
,
so
making
him
a
little
stagger
backe
,
while
it
rebounded
backe
.
Oh
admirable
act
,
in
the
end
worthie
the
Dacian
Lord
:
for
with
more
furie
taketh
not
the
towring
Eagle
her
flight
after
her
pray
,
then
doth
Don
Eleno
follow
the
retorted
lance
,
he
tooke
it
in
the
ayre
,
and
turned
merely
vppon
the
Pagan
,
at
him
hee
let
it
flie
with
more
horror
,
then
had
it
béen
sent
through
a
cannons
mouth
.
Against
his
strength
there
is
no
defence
,
for
it
plainely
pearced
his
shield
,
&
wounding
him
very
dangerously
below
the
nauell
,
with
a
mightie
fall
hee
made
him
measure
his
length
on
the
earth
,
with
such
astonishment
of
the
beholders
,
that
they
knew
not
what
meanes
to
finde
to
praise
the
knights
valour
.
The
lance
was
broken
in
two
,
which
did
not
a
little
content
the
Prince
,
he
tooke
it
vp
quicker
then
the
rauenous
kite
snatcheth
the
tender
chicke
.
By
this
came
Lindauro
,
with
his
shielde
and
sword
in
hand
,
thinking
quickly
to
ende
the
fight
,
and
with
a
florish
would
haue
strooke
the
Dacian
,
entring
with
a
thrust
:
As
sure
of
his
armes
as
of
his
strength
was
the
Prince
,
so
standing
fast
on
his
féete
,
suffered
him
to
enter
.
Great
was
the
blowe
he
receiued
,
but
hee
with
the
trunchion
in
hand
gaue
him
one
,
that
set
all
former
ones
in
obliuiou
,
for
bringing
the
lances
péece
right
ouer
his
head
vppon
the
helme
,
discharged
it
so
puissantly
,
that
voyding
infinit
blood
throgh
his
nostrels
and
mouth
,
he
tumbled
him
headlong
to
the
ground
.
Suddainly
he
arose
,
for
it
was
no
time
of
delaies
.
But
he
was
met
wit
an
other
,
that
almost
had
againe
feld
him
.
Neuerthelesse
would
not
the
Pagan
doubt
the
victorie
,
and
drawing
strength
from
weaknesse
,
let
flie
at
the
toppe
of
the
Dacians
helme
,
it
turned
his
an
one
side
more
then
he
wisht
.
Enter
he
wold
with
another
,
but
ere
he
could
sway
his
sword
about
,
the
Prince
made
him
feele
the
forcible
waight
of
his
trunchion
,
therewith
making
his
shield
and
head
méete
,
that
it
stopt
the
passage
of
his
breath
.
Close
he
would
with
him
,
but
the
Pagan
brauely
set
his
sword
in
the
middle
,
with
the
poynt
against
him
,
and
thrust
him
away
so
strongly
,
that
he
was
forced
backe
thrée
or
foure
steppes
.
He
followed
him
with
a
blowe
on
the
helme
,
which
put
the
Dacian
to
some
paine
,
but
all
redowned
to
the
Pagans
harme
,
for
Don
Eleno
being
now
extreamly
incensed
,
avoyded
another
,
and
closed
with
him
,
casting
his
strong
arme
about
his
necke
.
A
while
continued
they
wrasling
,
but
in
the
end
,
with
a
grone
the
Dacian
laide
him
on
the
ground
vpon
his
backe
.
On
his
breast
he
set
his
knées
,
saying
.
Dead
art
thou
Prince
Lindauro
,
vnlesse
thou
doest
vnsay
what
thou
haste
said
,
commaunding
the
prisoners
to
bee
brought
hither
and
set
at
libertie
,
with
their
horses
,
armes
,
and
weapons
,
since
against
all
lawe
and
iustice
they
haue
been
so
long
detained
.
All
is
ended
with
my
vanquishment
(
replied
the
afflicted
Saracin
.
)
The
Dacian
intreated
the
Iudges
to
come
and
take
the
Pagans
confession
,
who
sent
vnto
the
King
to
liberate
the
knights
,
with
all
that
was
theirs
,
since
his
fortune
was
so
aduerse
against
him
.
Their
horses
and
armes
being
brought
in
presence
of
them
all
,
they
were
armed
.
Where
with
great
kindnes
the
Persian
offred
his
loue
to
the
Gréeke
,
for
as
great
amitie
grew
betwéene
them
,
as
euer
was
among
their
fathers
.
Claridiano
receiued
him
,
saying
.
I
was
assured
(
gallant
Prince
)
I
could
nor
I
should
not
receiue
any
good
without
your
presence
:
my
good
will
deserues
it
,
for
in
all
things
it
shall
procure
your
content
.
Whereto
he
answered
.
Great
is
that
I
receiue
(
heroicke
Prince
)
to
haue
found
the
time
wherein
I
might
enioy
your
sight
,
and
far
greater
should
I
haue
conceiued
,
had
I
taken
part
of
the
troubles
I
was
tolde
you
indured
:
although
where
this
happie
Prince
hath
imployed
his
power
,
my
little
indeuor
were
but
néedlesse
.
I
acknowledge
my selfe
so
bound
vnto
you
al
(
replied
Claridiano
)
that
I
will
protest
no
more
,
saue
that
you
in
desire
,
and
this
Prince
in
dooing
,
haue
accomplisht
the
dutie
of
your
valours
,
and
fulfilled
my
expectation
.
But
let
vs
now
go
to
take
our
leaues
of
this
peruerse
malicious
people
,
on
whom
I
vow
ere
I
depart
from
Esclauonia
,
to
be
fully
reuenged
at
my
pleasure
,
and
their
dammage
.
All
foure
that
were
the
flower
of
armes
,
went
togither
to
the
window
,
where
the
king
was
,
to
whom
that
euerie
one
might
heare
,
the
suspitious
knight
,
spake
thus
.
I
am
very
sorry
(
king
of
Esclauonia
)
in
thy
Court
to
haue
séene
so
many
tumultuous
brawles
,
where
had
you
obserued
and
vnwronged
kept
euery
ones
iustice
,
according
to
the
fame
that
for
so
iust
a
king
doth
so
blazon
you
,
to
be
throughout
the
spacious
territories
of
the
worldes
wide
regions
,
they
had
not
procéeded
so
farre
foorth
,
although
these
knights
and
my selfe
may
truely
say
,
that
if
we
displeased
thée
,
thou
haste
at
pleasure
satisfied
thy selfe
,
to
the
deare
cost
of
our
quiet
,
putting
in
daunger
the
liues
of
such
knights
,
a
thing
that
the
very
hearing
doth
offend
,
how
much
the
more
hauing
taken
so
vniust
reuenge
,
guiding
thy selfe
thereto
by
a
blinde
selfe
voluntarie
passion
,
and
not
by
royal
,
wise
,
and
discréet
reason
.
And
least
thou
shouldest
hereafter
pretend
ignorance
,
knowe
thou
haste
iniuried
such
Princes
,
that
will
straightly
call
thée
to
strickt
account
of
all
these
wrongs
.
Of
whence
,
or
what
you
be
,
and
of
your
pride
and
insolencie
,
we
néede
not
care
to
know
,
(
said
the
king
)
for
it
manifestly
appeares
in
your
last
committed
faults
.
And
that
you
may
sée
how
little
I
respect
your
haughtie
menaces
,
I
commaund
you
on
paine
of
death
,
to
depart
my
kingdome
within
these
foure
daies
,
if
not
,
I
le
séek
,
&
till
the
death
pursue
you
with
an
hoste
of
armed
men
.
Before
this
had
wee
determined
our
departure
(
replied
Pollidolpho
)
abhorring
longer
to
abide
in
Court
,
whose
king
so
little
doth
respect
true
iustice
:
and
so
do
I
hope
to
sée
the
time
thou
shalt
thy selfe
confesse
the
euil
committed
,
to
be
ruled
by
the
opinion
of
self
passionate
men
,
whom
fortune
hath
rewarded
according
to
their
malicious
intent
.
Plainly
vnderstood
Lindaura
it
was
ment
by
him
,
but
vrgent
necessitie
was
betwéene
them
,
that
he
durst
not
speake
.
They
departed
from
the
king
,
leauing
him
readie
to
burst
with
rage
,
and
Lindaura
in
the
same
manner
,
that
had
no
other
comfort
,
but
to
thinke
his
estate
sufficient
to
warre
against
the
whole
world
.
He
required
since
all
matters
were
quietted
,
to
be
married
to
the
Princesse
Venus
.
The
Father
could
not
denie
it
,
being
pleased
therewith
,
nor
the
Lady
might
not
recall
her
word
giuen
to
obey
him
,
although
she
deferred
the
day
,
alleadging
she
and
her
damzels
were
working
certaine
things
against
that
time
,
which
forced
her
to
deferre
it
eight
or
tenne
daies
,
for
séeing
they
were
assured
of
her
graunt
,
that
terme
was
little
.
Her
father
reioyced
,
and
much
more
the
dishonoured
Louer
of
Liconia
,
to
sée
that
for
all
his
troubles
and
vnhappie
chances
,
he
obtained
his
Venus
.
Who
altogither
of
a
contrary
desire
,
sought
meanes
how
to
aduertise
the
Prince
,
and
to
conferre
with
them
of
her
resolution
.
The
Gréeke
well
knew
it
,
who
being
without
the
Cittie
,
taking
some
rest
at
the
fountaine
,
although
it
was
some
to
be
at
libertie
,
and
in
the
company
of
such
friends
as
those
,
on
whom
for
their
valors
a
greater
matter
then
that
,
and
difficulter
might
be
reposed
:
He
expressed
his
determination
thus
.
So
great
is
my
soules
ioy
(
mightie
Princes
of
Dacia
and
Babylon
)
that
my
tongue
cannot
expresse
it
,
in
that
it
pleased
the
reuoluing
Mistresse
of
vnconstant
time
,
to
order
your
commings
hither
,
for
otherwise
what
the
Prince
of
Grecia
promised
,
without
your
handes
had
béene
impossible
for
him
to
atchiue
.
Before
the
king
imprisoned
mee
,
my
helpe
was
craued
by
his
daughter
,
against
the
force
her
father
would
commit
,
to
match
her
with
a
husband
she
disliked
,
to
whom
I
offered
my
person
,
so
did
this
warlike
Prince
of
Croatia
,
louing
(
as
her
beautie
doth
deserue
no
lesse
)
the
faire
Venus
,
and
of
himselfe
he
made
her
sole
Empresse
.
I
well
perceieud
it
,
presuming
more
then
my
strength
could
beare
,
promising
to
set
her
in
his
handes
,
in
despight
of
the
Syconian
Sophy
,
to
whom
she
is
assured
by
the
king
,
because
hée
is
so
great
a
Lord
.
In
prison
talking
with
her
,
and
telling
her
my
opinion
,
she
altogither
yéelded
thereto
,
and
that
shee
would
in
nothing
contradict
me
.
So
must
I
now
go
to
her
presence
,
and
resolue
her
of
my
intent
,
that
according
to
our
time
limitted
,
wee
may
vse
the
most
conuenientest
remedie
.
I
do
therefore
intreate
your
aduise
and
counsell
in
these
waightie
affaires
:
The
Dacian
thus
replied
.
I
knowe
none
here
(
excellent
Prince
,
that
will
deny
his
ayde
vnto
so
mightie
a
Lord
,
as
the
Prince
of
Croatia
,
and
therefore
there
is
no
reason
,
but
we
all
hazard
our
liues
to
woorke
his
content
,
and
moreouer
it
behooues
me
to
take
from
hence
the
bewteous
Laissa
,
for
hauing
bought
her
libertie
at
so
beare
a
rate
,
I
wil
not
leaue
her
in
a
straungers
power
:
for
I
intende
to
intreate
the
Prince
of
Persia
to
carry
her
vnto
his
Empire
,
til
I
otherwise
doo
purpose
:
and
the
company
of
so
braue
a
Lady
will
be
gréeuous
to
none
.
And
since
we
be
héere
togither
,
I
I
am
of
opinion
that
the
Prince
of
Greece
goe
to
night
to
knowe
the
Ladies
resolution
,
and
against
when
they
will
bee
readie
to
depart
thence
.
Whereto
the
Croatian
Lord
thus
said
.
I
cannot
most
excellent
Warriours
,
and
soueraigne
Princes
,
protest
,
nor
binde
my selfe
to
more
then
I
haue
alreadie
,
only
this
,
I
can
within
two
dayes
,
haue
heere
twelue
thousande
men
that
expect
my
comming
to
the
sea
,
that
til
I
commaund
them
the
contrary
wil
not
depart
from
thence
.
And
within
the
Citie
I
haue
fiftie
knights
and
two
Gyants
to
helpe
vs
if
we
shall
néede
their
aide
.
And
we
may
safely
vnséene
go
to
our
lodging
in
the
Citie
,
and
there
order
our
businesse
.
Euery
one
was
glad
that
the
Prince
was
so
well
prouided
,
and
lest
longer
delaie
should
prooue
more
harmefull
,
they
straight
mounted
,
and
tooke
their
way
backe
towards
the
Citie
.
They
entred
vnto
their
lodging
vnséene
of
any
,
through
the
obscuritie
of
the
night
.
From
thence
they
sent
two
of
the
chiefest
of
the
fiftie
knights
,
to
poste
to
the
Sea
side
,
to
commaund
the
Captaines
and
Leaders
of
the
souldiers
,
that
euery
Commaunder
should
leade
the
most
and
best
of
their
charge
vnto
the
Valley
of
the
Louers
,
and
that
the
rest
should
be
in
vigilant
readinesse
,
guarding
the
Gallies
.
The
knights
obeyed
most
willingly
,
as
they
that
intirely
loued
their
Prince
,
being
also
of
his
subiects
so
affected
.
The
Gréeke
Prince
leauing
them
,
onely
with
his
sword
and
the
strong
priuie
Coate
that
Venus
gaue
him
,
he
left
his
Chamber
,
taking
the
next
way
to
the
Garden
,
which
was
the
place
he
thought
to
meete
the
Lady
at
,
which
indéed
was
so
.
For
accompanied
with
Fausta
and
Laissa
,
whom
she
had
made
partaker
of
her
Loues
,
and
also
how
she
estéemed
the
Persian
Prince
,
were
both
determined
to
go
with
them
,
being
assured
what
great
Princes
they
were
,
if
that
meanes
might
debarre
that
vniust
marriage
.
Claridiano
comming
to
the
doore
,
gaue
his
signall
,
which
Fausta
knowing
,
opened
,
saying
.
In
faith
sir
knight
,
I
now
sée
you
cannot
but
be
happie
in
your
owne
Loues
,
being
so
carefull
of
anothers
.
The
Prince
thereto
answered
.
This
is
my
vnhappinesse
,
to
sée
by
experience
anothers
faith
well
guerdoned
,
and
liue
my selfe
in
the
greatest
dispaire
that
euer
knight
in
the
world
did
.
It
may
be
(
answered
said
she
)
you
are
onely
euil
conditioned
:
for
by
all
your
other
parts
,
you
deserue
the
wide
worlds
admiration
.
That
is
not
so
much
(
said
the
gallant
Prince
)
as
my
misfortune
is
great
that
guides
it
this
way
.
Well
leaue
we
this
(
replied
she
)
and
go
we
where
my
Lady
and
the
faire
Laissa
doo
expect
you
:
and
haue
patience
,
for
this
is
but
the
touchstone
,
whereon
the
Ladie
by
true
proofe
makes
triall
of
the
Louer
.
By
this
came
the
two
Ladies
fairer
then
Apollo
,
and
Venus
stepping
foorth
,
said
.
I
did
so
greatly
feare
,
dispairing
knight
,
that
séeing
your selfe
at
libertie
,
you
would
easily
forget
whom
you
left
in
prison
,
that
I
thought
best
to
get
company
to
séek
you
abroad
,
if
you
ouerlong
should
tarry
,
and
with
my
owne
hands
take
my
reuenge
,
which
should
not
be
litle
rigorous
.
Had
I
bene
happie
diuine
Ladies
(
said
the
Prince
)
as
to
haue
knowne
this
resolution
,
to
féele
the
pleasure
that
wounds
giuen
by
those
your
sacred
hands
doo
yéeld
,
I
would
not
haue
so
soone
returned
.
But
yet
knowing
the
falling
into
any
forgetfulnesse
in
you
seruice
,
how
litle
soeuer
,
was
paine
intollerable
,
inforced
me
so
soone
to
hasten
my
comming
,
to
be
resolued
of
your
will
,
the
which
those
Princes
nor
my selfe
wil
in
nothing
contradict
.
I
loue
so
truly
to
kéepe
my
word
inuiolate
heroicke
Prince
of
Grecia
(
answered
the
Ladie
)
that
I
know
not
what
more
to
say
:
sauing
this
,
I
doo
altogither
submit
my
fortunes
to
your
order
,
which
during
life
I
wil
obserue
,
assured
that
such
a
knight
wil
respect
my
poore
immaculated
honour
,
the
which
although
in
some
respect
I
doo
repugne
,
yet
to
frustrate
my
intended
marriage
,
I
wil
venture
my
person
in
any
peril
you
shal
vndergo
:
therefore
in
this
,
there
is
no
more
to
doo
but
plot
it
as
you
thinke
best
,
for
that
is
our
determination
.
And
since
the
Gods
haue
in
all
things
made
you
so
absolute
,
doo
not
gréeue
if
I
take
this
Ladie
in
my
company
:
For
shée
will
in
no
case
remaine
any
longer
in
my
Fathers
Court
,
whilest
I
absent
my selfe
.
In
charge
had
I
that
you
last
spake
of
(
saide
the
Prince
)
from
my
Lord
and
Vncle
the
Prince
of
Dacia
:
but
séeing
she
is
pleased
with
what
we
al
desired
,
let
vs
no
longer
procrastinate
our
iourney
,
making
all
things
readie
for
the
same
two
daies
hence
,
in
which
time
you
may
send
to
our
lodging
those
things
you
shall
bee
best
pleased
to
take
with
you
.
Be
it
as
you
haue
said
(
soueraigne
Prince
,
said
Venus
)
for
hauing
in
our
defence
the
mightie
Alphebos
sonne
,
it
is
nothing
wee
haue
vndertaken
,
were
it
farre
harder
.
Occasion
they
had
to
demaund
for
the
Persian
,
which
being
not
omitted
,
things
passed
so
plainly
,
that
the
Gréeke
reioyced
to
sée
his
friend
so
well
imployed
.
Any
ones
good
would
glad
him
,
though
hée
himselfe
did
want
it
.
He
tooke
his
leaue
of
the
Ladies
with
a
thousand
imbracements
,
that
had
not
Archisilora
gouerned
his
soule
,
and
the
reason
of
his
thoughts
,
it
were
no
wonder
had
he
stood
a
while
ponderating
the
content
thereof
:
but
he
with
one
ordinarie
courtesie
in
liew
of
so
many
fauours
,
left
them
,
of
themselues
iealous
with
feare
of
that
they
should
do
,
although
their
comfort
was
,
that
such
Princes
had
vndertooke
their
safetie
.
They
straight
beganne
to
order
the
preparations
for
their
iourney
from
Xantho
.
While
the
valourous
Gréeke
returned
to
the
Princes
,
that
receiued
him
with
excéeding
ioy
,
relating
to
them
all
their
conference
,
with
the
Ladies
resolution
,
which
not
a
little
contented
them
,
and
moreouer
said
.
And
I
haue
newe
commends
to
the
haughtie
Bransiniano
,
Prince
of
Persia
,
for
the
Ladies
demaunded
for
none
but
him
,
and
I
am
glad
in
my
heart
to
knowe
how
matters
passe
,
and
in
faith
I
had
not
thought
the
Dacian
Lord
to
bee
so
warie
.
Valiant
Gréeke
(
said
Don
Eleno
)
knowe
,
that
in
matters
of
Loue
,
the
greatest
concealement
is
greatest
fire
,
for
nothing
contents
Cupid
more
,
then
to
sée
how
by
the
sole
motion
of
the
eyes
two
agree
,
concluding
more
with
the
sight
,
then
others
in
an
age
,
in
present
daily
continual
discourses
.
For
nothing
better
blazoneth
the
soules
newes
,
then
the
eyes
,
and
if
they
so
could
,
no
maruell
they
be
agréed
,
and
greater
matters
can
Loue
so
effect
.
So
with
great
content
did
they
all
expect
the
second
day
,
to
take
the
Ladies
from
the
Pallace
:
for
the
men
they
sent
for
,
were
by
that
come
to
the
place
appoynted
.
The
next
day
Fausta
sent
thrée
or
foure
of
the
Ladies
chests
,
and
the
one
and
the
others
,
awaited
the
darknesse
of
the
approaching
night
,
wherin
befell
them
what
the
next
following
Chapter
doth
resite
.
CHAP.
VII
.
How
the
Princes
conueyed
the
Ladies
out
of
the
Pallace
.
The
battell
they
had
about
them
with
the
Kings
Knights
:
and
what
more
happened
.
ALreadie
had
the
starrie
canabey
of
heauen
darkened
the
earth
with
clowdie
blacke
obscuritie
,
when
the
foure
mightie
valiant
warriours
clad
all
in
rich
and
strong
abilements
of
warre
,
accompanied
with
the
two
fierce
gyants
and
twentie
knights
,
(
leauing
the
rest
to
guard
the
Ladies
Coffers
,
and
to
aduertise
the
armie
of
their
approach
)
arriued
closely
at
the
Garden
gate
,
and
making
the
accustomed
signe
,
Fausta
with
more
courage
opened
,
where
they
found
the
Ladies
so
amazed
with
feare
,
that
they
had
no
power
to
vtter
one
word
.
It
was
no
time
for
ceremonies
,
so
Claridiano
taking
Venus
in
his
armes
,
carried
her
out
of
the
garden
,
and
deliuering
her
to
the
Prince
of
Croatia
,
said
.
Receiue
this
gift
(
sir
knight
)
for
by
doing
it
,
I
can-cel
the
bonds
of
my
ingaged
word
.
He
could
not
answer
,
being
ouercloied
with
ioy
,
nor
yet
could
she
do
otherwise
.
He
returned
like
the
winde
for
Laissa
,
(
that
more
courage
had
then
the
other
)
hauing
indured
many
perils
,
and
gaue
her
to
the
Prince
of
Persia
,
whose
gladnesse
did
excéed
the
greatest
in
the
world
.
He
forgot
not
Palisandro
,
for
almost
he
plainly
conceiued
what
happened
in
the
Tower
,
so
deliuering
Fausta
vnto
him
,
spake
.
Since
thou
canst
so
well
dissemble
,
thou
deseruest
to
haue
her
in
kéeping
.
The
Damzell
was
wittie
and
so
replied
.
I
would
not
(
sir
knight
)
that
after
you
haue
played
your
owne
parts
,
you
should
thus
ill
rewarde
me
.
The
want
of
power
to
care
for
so
many
(
kinde
Fausta
)
hath
forced
mee
to
commit
you
to
his
guarding
,
that
knows
what
torments
do
possesse
me
.
Therevppon
Don
Elenos
Dwarffe
stept
in
with
these
words
.
I
faith
Prince
of
Grecia
,
if
you
vse
to
pay
all
your
Squires
in
this
manner
,
it
will
make
mee
rebell
against
Don
Eleno
my
Lord
,
for
he
liuing
secure
,
remembers
not
vs
that
be
so
destitute
of
fauours
.
The
Dacian
made
answere
.
The
not
knowing
thy
minde
(
friend
Lesbio
)
was
cause
I
procured
not
thy
remedie
,
but
now
I
knowe
thy
will
,
I
will
ere
long
satisfie
thy
content
.
With
many
iestes
at
length
they
arriued
at
their
armie
,
where
after
they
rested
,
the
Gréeke
would
discharge
his
soule
of
part
of
her
cares
,
wedding
the
beautious
Venus
to
the
gallant
Pollidolpho
,
with
such
content
of
all
the
hoste
,
that
feared
they
not
to
be
heard
,
had
exprest
it
with
applauding
shouts
.
Here
me
thinkes
(
said
Eleno
)
all
the
world
flies
from
farther
toyle
,
which
being
so
,
I
will
also
do
it
,
by
leauing
the
protection
of
this
soueraigne
Ladie
,
so
bestowing
her
to
the
Persian
,
he
saide
.
To
you
(
sir
Knight
)
must
I
deliuer
her
,
being
destitute
of
strength
to
guard
her
.
So
well
did
Venus
plead
,
knowing
how
the
Persian
was
affected
,
that
foorthwith
they
were
both
espowsed
,
to
their
admirable
ioy
.
Content
in
pleasant
chat
,
were
these
Princes
,
and
also
beeing
night
,
it
was
not
much
if
they
enioyed
any
secret
ioyes
,
I
knowe
not
,
but
to
increase
their
pleasure
,
the
sencelesse
trées
were
silent
.
While
they
were
in
their
iollitie
,
no
little
hurleburley
had
ouerturned
the
King
and
Princes
quiet
supposed
rest
of
troubles
in
the
Pallace
,
for
going
to
supper
,
the
Ladies
were
mist
:
they
entred
their
chamber
,
where
they
found
nothing
but
a
letter
,
whose
tenour
was
.
That
Venus
was
departed
,
wedded
to
Pollidolpho
Prince
of
Croatia
,
a
Knight
that
for
merits
of
person
and
state
,
deserued
no
lesse
then
Venus
:
and
Laissa
vnder
the
Protect
of
Bransiniano
Prince
of
Persia
,
backt
and
defended
by
the
Prince
of
Grecia
and
Tribizound
,
togither
with
the
valiant
Lord
of
Dacia
.
The
King
was
not
a
little
daunted
hearing
those
names
,
séeing
how
hard
it
was
for
him
to
bee
reuenged
,
they
being
such
mightie
Princes
:
neuerthelesse
hee
commanded
fortie
thousand
knights
to
be
presently
armed
,
and
being
diuided
in
two
squadrons
,
to
follow
in
fearch
of
them
,
for
imagining
they
were
alone
,
thought
that
méeting
them
,
they
would
bee
easily
fetcht
backe
.
One
of
the
Squadrons
the
furious
Lindauro
did
lead
with
the
Kings
coosin
.
The
Saracin
was
pollitique
,
and
so
supposing
they
might
bee
in
the
Louers
Wood
,
which
made
him
with
swift
steppes
enter
into
the
same
,
although
the
Princes
hadde
tane
some
other
way
.
All
that
night
he
lost
himselfe
,
vntill
the
next
morning
that
hee
met
with
some
shéepheards
,
of
whome
hee
demaunded
for
them
:
they
gaue
him
good
tokens
to
haue
séene
them
:
telling
him
also
that
they
were
marched
towards
the
sea
.
He
turned
about
in
all
haste
with
his
men
in
their
pursuite
,
not
demaunding
whether
they
had
any
company
or
no
:
but
so
fast
hyed
the
Princes
,
that
ere
they
were
ouertaken
,
Phoebus
was
past
the
middest
of
his
dyurnall
course
,
and
were
so
neare
the
sea
,
that
from
the
Gallies
they
might
beholde
them
.
The
Princes
(
séeing
they
were
but
fewe
more
in
number
then
they
)
iudged
it
cowardize
,
not
to
let
them
know
,
how
they
were
incenst
against
them
.
So
agreed
to
stay
,
committed
the
ladies
to
100.
knights
,
to
conuey
them
to
their
ships
,
and
deuided
their
battell
into
two
parts
.
The
ore
was
commanded
by
Don
Eleno
and
Bransiniano
:
and
the
other
,
guided
the
mightie
Gréeke
,
with
the
new
Bridegroome
,
who
was
one
of
the
skilfullest
in
the
world
,
to
dispose
and
order
a
battell
.
In
Figure
of
a
halfe
Moone
,
they
awaighted
their
enemies
,
that
séeing
them
not
to
be
so
many
as
themselues
,
couragiously
prepared
to
assaile
them
,
hoping
the
rest
would
also
arriue
to
them
:
and
with
more
ease
to
get
the
conquest
,
they
approached
with
the
noise
of
innumerable
instruments
,
and
in
good
order
:
for
the
Kings
Coozen
was
a
polliticke
Knight
.
Worthy
of
séeing
was
their
encountring
:
for
though
it
was
of
no
puissant
hostes
,
yet
so
great
was
the
horror
,
as
if
one
hundred
thousand
men
had
met
.
Foure
did
dispayring
Lindauro
ouerthrow
before
he
brake
his
Launce
:
for
the
gréefe
to
sée
his
Lady
in
an
others
power
,
did
incourage
him
:
he
drew
forth
his
sword
,
and
with
it
,
in
company
of
Tarsides
(
so
was
the
kings
coosen
named
)
began
to
performe
wonders
,
onely
they
maintaining
the
heate
of
the
fight
.
But
that
way
the
foure
Heroycke
Princes
entred
,
no
tongue
can
expresse
their
déeds
,
for
they
séemed
no
other
then
the
reapers
in
the
moneth
of
Iuly
among
the
rypened
corne
:
for
their
remorcelesse
blowes
found
no
resist
,
that
shields
,
helmes
,
armor
,
heads
,
bodies
,
and
sometimes
horses
and
all
were
sundred
in
the
middest
.
No
lesse
dammage
did
the
Gyants
in
their
furious
passage
with
their
battle-axe
.
Admirable
was
the
battle
at
this
time
,
to
heare
the
pitteous
claimours
of
the
wounded
,
the
clashing
of
armor
and
weapons
,
with
the
resounding
noyse
of
cutting
strokes
,
and
the
running
about
the
field
of
horses
maisterlesse
.
So
ill
did
not
the
Esclauonians
behaue
themselues
,
but
they
kild
being
killed
,
not
so
much
procuring
the
defence
of
their
owne
liues
,
as
their
enemies
deaths
.
Thrée
houres
endured
the
fight
,
without
vantage
knowne
on
either
side
:
for
the
inhabitants
would
rather
die
,
then
suffer
their
Princesse
violently
by
straungers
to
be
carried
away
:
but
in
the
end
of
that
terme
,
the
Princes
being
heated
in
collor
,
the
field
had
fewe
to
resist
their
mortall
wounds
,
for
euery
blowe
was
the
death
of
a
knight
.
By
this
Pollidolpho
and
Lindauro
met
,
either
by
their
deuises
knew
the
other
.
Glad
was
the
Croatian
of
the
incounter
,
greatly
desiring
it
,
so
said
.
Now
is
the
time
proud
Prince
,
to
shewe
your
déedes
in
fields
,
to
be
otherwise
then
words
in
the
Pallace
.
Without
admitting
any
answere
,
he
did
let
flie
at
his
Helme
,
on
the
outward
side
,
all
the
Plumes
and
the
crooked
top
he
strooke
away
,
making
him
shamefully
bend
in
the
saddle
,
and
with
another
stroke
laide
him
sencelesse
along
his
horse
.
There
he
had
slaine
him
,
had
not
Tarsides
arriued
,
staying
him
with
a
furious
thrust
,
and
giuing
Lindauro
time
to
recouer
himselfe
both
at
once
,
not
respecting
the
lawes
of
knighthood
,
charged
the
Croatian
.
But
the
venturous
Louer
brauely
withstood
them
,
giuing
and
receiuing
mightie
blowes
.
Altogither
apparantly
did
the
Esclauonians
loose
the
field
.
For
wanting
most
of
their
best
Leaders
,
most
pittifull
was
the
bloodie
massacre
made
of
them
.
Not
far
off
was
their
remedie
,
for
at
the
Sunnes
declining
from
the
fourth
houre
,
on
the
top
of
an
hillocke
,
there
appeared
the
Kings
standard
,
with
the
other
twentie
thousand
men
.
Who
seeing
the
battle
in
those
termes
,
prickt
foorth
in
all
haste
,
to
succor
their
friends
that
were
vtterly
discomfited
.
Great
hurt
did
they
vppon
the
Crotians
,
which
also
feared
some
vnluckie
hap
,
so
fierce
was
their
assault
.
Foure
more
magnanimious
knights
then
the
Princes
,
were
neuer
séene
:
for
though
their
enemies
be
treble
thrée
to
one
,
their
valour
doth
supply
their
want
of
multitude
.
Order
was
giuen
none
should
harme
or
touch
the
king
for
Venus
sake
.
Who
waighing
the
doubtfulnesse
of
the
fight
,
commaunded
the
halfe
of
foure
thousand
men
that
kept
the
Gallies
,
should
stand
to
ayde
their
Lords
.
It
was
to
no
small
effect
.
For
arming
themselues
,
presently
they
obeyed
,
taking
their
way
towards
the
hottest
of
the
fight
.
As
they
went
,
two
knights
of
admirable
disposition
,
and
in
rich
armes
met
them
,
and
learning
the
cause
of
that
conflict
,
determined
to
ayde
the
Ladie
.
Good
was
their
helpe
,
being
the
two
strong
Princes
,
Don
Argante
of
Phenicia
,
and
Thorisiano
,
that
togither
wandred
to
séeke
their
aduentures
.
They
entred
crying
Croatia
,
when
they
beganne
to
driue
backe
.
But
these
newe
succours
was
a
meane
to
regaine
their
lost
aduantage
,
and
set
their
aduersaries
hope
in
daunger
.
Sundred
were
Tarsides
and
Lindauro
,
and
vnhappily
did
Tarsides
fall
into
Don
Elenos
hands
,
whom
he
had
incensed
.
This
occasion
would
not
he
loose
,
for
with
both
hands
he
discharged
Brutus
sword
vpon
his
shield
,
it
yéelds
no
defence
,
for
in
two
it
was
parted
,
and
with
the
swords
poynt
did
wound
him
daungerously
on
his
head
.
Hee
closed
with
him
,
and
for
Venus
sake
would
not
kill
him
.
But
casting
his
strong
armes
about
him
,
spurred
his
Tyrio
,
and
snatcht
him
from
his
saddle
,
that
being
altogither
breathlesse
,
hée
deliuered
him
to
foure
knights
,
to
conuey
him
to
the
Princesse
Venus
.
The
battell
was
cruelly
renewed
,
and
dead
bodies
lamentably
falling
on
both
sides
:
but
the
Princes
being
inuincible
,
where
ere
they
went
,
were
assured
of
the
victorie
.
Clearly
had
they
obtained
it
,
if
Phoebus
hastening
his
Westerne
downfall
,
had
not
hid
his
light
in
Thetis
watrie
lap
,
leauing
almost
half
of
the
Esclauonians
dead
,
with
foure
thousand
Croatians
,
besides
the
wounded
.
On
either
side
retrait
was
sounded
,
for
feare
of
the
nights
approach
.
Pollidelpho
being
in
warre
most
polliticke
,
commaunded
many
fiers
to
be
lighted
,
that
his
enemies
might
thinke
they
would
stay
til
the
morrow
:
which
he
nothing
lesse
minded
,
iudging
it
mere
follie
,
because
the
king
had
his
succors
so
neare
,
and
they
theirs
so
far
off
,
marcht
away
to
the
sea
side
,
causing
all
manner
of
lights
in
the
Galleyes
to
be
fired
,
that
the
souldiers
might
imbarke
themselues
.
They
did
so
,
leauing
neuer
a
man
on
land
,
except
the
two
Princes
,
whom
another
aduenture
expected
.
The
next
morrow
,
the
Pagans
thinking
their
enemies
had
stayed
,
scarce
had
Aurora
welcommed
Apollo
the
East
,
when
they
began
in
rankes
and
files
orderly
to
draw
their
men
in
field
.
No
griefe
is
comparable
to
that
which
the
king
and
Lindauro
conceiued
,
being
aduertised
by
their
spies
what
happened
.
So
soone
as
it
was
knowne
they
followed
towards
the
shore
,
thinking
to
ouertake
them
:
but
being
thither
come
,
were
assured
of
theyr
departure
,
which
made
the
King
&
Prince
most
wofully
,
with
bitter
laments
to
exclaime
:
and
more
,
missing
their
kinsman
Tarsides
,
they
wanted
present
means
to
follow
them
,
which
forced
their
returne
to
Xantho
:
where
they
gaue
order
to
prepare
all
the
shipping
in
the
land
.
The
like
did
the
Sophi
,
knowing
how
his
son
was
mocked
.
They
gathered
600.
sayles
,
which
was
the
most
famous
Fléete
that
euer
came
on
those
seas
.
They
wasted
200.
thousand
men
,
and
400.
Giants
,
of
the
fiercest
in
the
world
:
with
so
great
and
puissant
armies
,
he
thought
he
might
make
warre
vpon
the
greatest
Potentate
therof
.
Lindauro
was
appointed
Generall
by
sea
and
land
:
that
had
hée
not
bene
troubled
with
fantasticke
vaine
imaginary
boastes
,
he
had
discharged
the
office
with
immortall
Fame
.
Some
time
was
spent
in
the
preparation
and
assembling
of
this
mightie
army
,
in
which
season
,
the
Princes
with
their
sayles
spread
in
the
winde
,
fearelesse
of
any
thing
,
with
their
Ladies
ioying
in
their
company
,
within
eight
dayes
landed
at
Geua
,
the
chiefest
hauen
in
all
Croatia
.
The
inhabitants
receiued
the
Princes
with
such
ioy
and
costly
triumphes
,
that
to
shun
prolixitie
,
wée
ouerpast
day
by
day
,
the
rumor
stil
increast
of
Lindauros
comming
:
For
which
cause
,
as
also
for
the
ladies
that
were
with
child
,
they
intreated
the
princes
to
abide
with
them
til
they
were
in
peace
,
or
with
assurance
of
agréement
with
Venus
father
:
who
knowing
the
imprisonment
of
her
Coozen
Tarfides
,
procured
his
libertie
,
with
such
entertainment
as
his
merits
deserued
.
It
did
so
win
him
,
as
also
séeing
how
well
beflowed
his
Coozen
was
,
that
he
determined
to
pacifie
the
proclaimed
wars
.
Therupon
he
writ
to
the
king
of
Esclauonia
,
alleaging
what
honor
and
greater
disaduantage
he
incurred
to
persecute
his
daughter
,
since
shee
had
chosen
for
her
husband
,
the
Prince
Pollidolpho
,
rather
then
any
other
.
And
if
she
gaue
her
promise
of
marriage
to
Lindauro
,
it
was
onely
to
please
his
honor
,
and
not
to
satisfie
her
owne
will
,
hauing
before
made
it
obedient
to
an
others
command
.
This
letter
a
thousand
times
made
him
so
recant
his
intent
,
as
he
was
about
so
often
to
haue
shewn
it
the
Prince
,
yet
he
could
not
so
close
kéep
it
,
but
he
discerned
it
.
Who
dissembling
,
séemed
to
take
no
notice
of
it
,
so
that
for
all
that
,
they
set
their
fortunes
on
the
seas
,
purposing
to
land
in
Croatia
.
They
had
done
it
,
and
it
had
béene
one
of
the
cruellest
warre
in
the
world
,
if
the
wise
Nabato
(
considering
his
Don
Eleno
was
there
detained
thereby
)
had
not
succoured
them
,
by
crossing
the
huge
King
with
stormes
and
tempests
,
that
the
third
part
of
the
Fléete
was
ouerwhelmed
in
the
deuouring
waters
.
They
returned
to
Esclauonia
,
where
taking
counsell
,
Lindauro
knowing
that
the
Soldan
of
Nyquea
,
with
the
greatest
part
of
Asia
and
Affrica
,
did
assemble
themselues
togither
against
Grecia
,
resolued
to
ioyne
with
them
,
that
with
so
many
multitudes
,
his
reuenge
might
be
the
more
easier
.
As
it
was
determined
,
he
put
it
in
execution
,
and
repairing
his
tempest
beaten
ships
,
directed
his
voyage
towards
S.
Georges
promontory
,
where
it
was
reported
all
the
generall
forces
met
.
Thus
far
(
admired
Ladies
)
procéeded
the
sole
spoyle
of
the
ioyes
it
procured
,
that
by
so
many
means
sought
the
easie
passage
for
his
reuenge
,
vpon
the
robbers
of
his
contents
:
who
without
remembrance
of
what
hee
(
poore
soule
)
indured
,
past
the
time
in
sports
and
reuels
,
till
the
season
of
the
Ladies
deliuery
was
come
,
both
who
brought
forth
two
Girles
,
whose
beauties
being
in
their
prime
,
darkened
Apollos
clearest
light
.
The
children
were
borne
with
seuerall
tokens
:
for
the
Persians
had
on
their
brests
Loues
bowe
and
quiuer
of
arrowes
.
Venus
daughter
had
also
in
the
breast
,
a
hand
whiter
then
the
snow
,
that
twixt
the
fingers
held
a
heart
as
red
as
blood
.
Much
adoo
there
was
to
name
them
,
in
the
end
it
was
remitted
to
Claridiana
,
who
therein
shewed
the
sharpnesse
of
his
wit
,
for
considering
they
had
got
the
mothers
by
force
of
armes
,
named
the
Babylonian
Helena
:
he
did
not
so
amisse
,
because
for
her
sake
there
were
no
lesse
cruelwars
,
than
Troye
sustained
about
the
first
,
as
it
is
in
the
fourth
part
of
this
Historie
.
Venus
girle
was
called
Pollixena
,
in
remembrance
of
her
whose
loue
so
dearly
Gréeke
Archilles
did
abide
.
Euery
one
praised
the
wittie
naming
of
the
Ladies
by
the
Prince
,
who
expressed
his
ioy
and
loue
in
the
performance
of
a
famous
iouster
.
He
craued
leaue
of
the
Ladies
to
depart
,
thinking
he
wronged
his
owne
,
to
liue
so
long
in
those
pleasures
,
which
he
obtained
with
great
difficultie
.
The
day
before
the
two
Princes
wold
depart
,
Pollidolpho
thus
spake
.
It
is
so
manifest
(
most
mightie
Prince
)
that
many
&
infinit
recountlesse
fauours
and
benefits
I
haue
at
your
hands
receiued
,
which
soring
to
so
high
prized
valor
,
my
life
is
insufficient
to
satisfie
the
least
degrée
of
gratitude
:
but
neuerthelesse
that
you
may
knowe
the
zeale
of
my
thankfull
minde
,
and
how
I
account
my
sole
felicitie
in
your
deare
amitie
,
I
am
determined
to
become
a
Christian
,
for
all
my
land
will
haue
it
so
:
by
which
act
I
do
eternally
propagate
my
loue
,
with
such
excellent
warlike
Princes
:
and
therefore
I
will
receiue
the
Baptisme
at
your
hands
,
togither
with
my
wife
and
daughter
.
The
Princes
conceiued
excéeding
ioy
with
Pollidelphos
déed
:
whereto
Don
Eleno
thus
replied
.
Wee
cannot
but
credibly
beléeue
(
most
noble
Prince
)
so
illustrious
a
déed
hath
long
since
béene
prophecied
,
with
more
diuine
inspirations
,
then
humane
determination
:
to
corroborate
our
friendship
,
there
was
no
cause
to
intimate
this
:
for
to
obserue
the
lawes
of
honourable
true
Loue
,
the
least
ground
with
so
costly
experience
,
were
ynough
.
Happie
be
this
amitie
,
and
confirmed
with
such
bounds
of
faith
,
wee
cannot
feare
that
the
alterations
of
time
reuoluing
chaunces
,
may
any
way
preuaile
against
vs
.
I
knowe
not
whether
I
may
call
most
happie
,
you
or
your
subiects
,
for
if
they
haue
Pollidelpho
for
their
Lord
,
you
haue
a
people
that
amongst
neighbours
of
most
woorth
,
had
got
the
honour
of
themselues
by
so
glorious
a
déed
:
the
which
may
hee
that
hath
begunne
it
,
blesse
,
and
to
eternall
posterities
so
propagate
as
we
desire
.
Wherevpon
they
embraced
,
as
they
had
but
then
séen
one
another
,
doing
the
like
by
the
beautious
Venus
,
confirming
her
daughters
name
.
And
Laissa
séeing
her
husband
a
Christian
,
would
not
longer
continue
Pagan
.
For
eight
daies
during
the
feastes
of
those
solemnities
,
the
Princes
delayed
their
going
,
in
the
end
whereof
,
the
Greeke
Prince
,
with
onely
his
Squire
Pallisandro
,
departed
from
his
friends
.
His
company
required
the
Dacian
,
but
Lesbio
his
Dwarffe
would
not
:
saying
it
behooued
Claridiano
to
goe
alone
:
where
forrowing
the
waued
boosome
of
Neptunes
region
,
we
leaue
them
a
while
,
to
relate
what
else
happened
in
Constantinople
.
CHAP.
VIII
.
The
preparations
the
mightie
Emperour
Trebatio
made
,
knowing
all
Asia
and
Affrica
did
rise
in
armes
against
him
.
And
how
Archysibora
departed
from
the
Court.
SO
many
and
so
certaine
were
she
newes
that
euery
day
were
broght
of
the
Nyquean
Soldans
mightie
preparations
,
and
of
the
aydes
&
helpes
hee
demanded
of
his
bordering
neighbour
kings
,
that
although
it
were
not
giuen
out
,
gainst
whom
such
hostile
assemblies
of
Pagan
Infidelles
were
pressed
,
yet
would
not
the
carefull
Christian
Emperour
séeme
carelesse
of
his
necessarie
affaires
:
but
rather
commaunded
Oristides
the
newe
Thessalian
king
,
with
al
expedition
to
vnite
,
&
with
new
supplies
to
strengthen
al
his
scattered
troupes
,
and
with
them
to
march
away
along
the
nearest
of
their
enemies
neighbouring
holds
,
that
their
diligence
might
stay
their
haste
.
He
obeyed
,
accompanied
with
his
Sarmatia
,
and
executed
his
office
so
well
,
that
in
fewe
daies
he
reparted
on
thrée
frontiers
,
to
the
number
of
two
thousand
men
.
And
leauing
the
Empire
sure
that
way
,
he
withdrew
himselfe
with
fortie
thousand
men
towards
Nyquea
,
to
sée
if
the
enemie
would
assault
any
place
on
the
sudden
.
He
performed
it
all
with
such
happie
spéede
,
that
his
good
diligence
was
to
no
small
effect
,
for
that
is
it
which
ouercomes
the
most
labourous
toyle
.
The
Troyans
quicke
expedition
was
no
meanes
to
make
the
Emperour
be
ydle
,
but
rather
to
shewe
his
great
care
.
For
of
Macedonians
and
Greecians
,
he
gathered
a
well
furnisht
armie
,
wherewith
he
accounted
himself
secure
.
Of
the
last
,
nor
of
those
that
séemed
remisse
in
these
broils
,
was
Torismundo
none
,
but
being
aduertised
of
the
affaires
,
he
shipt
himselfe
towards
Spaine
,
where
hee
prouided
all
the
gallies
of
Naples
and
Sicely
,
with
those
of
Portugall
,
whose
direction
Don
Siluerio
commaunded
them
to
obey
.
On
the
seas
was
not
a
more
discréeter
knight
séene
,
better
to
order
and
reprehend
a
battell
.
With
fiue
hundreth
sayles
he
began
to
plough
the
Western
Ocean
,
which
contained
the
powers
of
Spaine
,
France
,
and
Portugall
,
whereof
sixtie
hundred
thousand
were
Spaniards
,
with
whose
valor
he
doubted
not
to
confront
the
proudest
enemie
.
Of
Portugalles
40.
thousand
:
whose
skill
on
the
sea
,
excelled
the
skilfullest
.
The
French
king
with
consent
of
the
Prince
Clauerindo
,
sent
vnder
the
Spanish
Ensignes
90.
thousand
well
armed
knights
.
Of
all
these
men
,
he
had
made
his
Lieftenant
Generall
,
his
valiant
son
Corselio
.
About
the
end
of
Aprill
with
all
these
powers
,
the
furious
Torismundo
found
himselfe
on
the
vtmost
confines
of
his
land
,
in
sight
of
Lauering
,
where
ouerviewing
all
his
Fléete
,
from
the
hatches
of
his
Gallie
,
all
in
sanguine
armor
raising
his
Beuer
,
and
on
a
bloody
Launce
,
he
thus
spake
.
I
shall
not
néed
most
valiant
knights
to
explicate
in
words
,
what
great
rewards
a
wel
fought
battle
doth
yéeld
:
nor
what
neuer
dying
honor
is
therby
obtained
,
where
rather
a
man
must
be
found
dead
,
holding
his
sword
within
his
hand
,
then
for
feare
to
haue
it
said
,
he
did
force
it
.
But
since
we
wade
within
such
danger
of
our
liues
,
I
will
no
more
remember
saue
the
auncient
blood
from
whence
we
do
descend
:
since
it
was
neuer
said
of
a
French
man
,
that
killing
he
did
flie
.
I
will
not
particularize
the
déeds
of
Spaine
,
where
Fame
these
waste
seas
can
memorise
more
then
what
is
reported
,
that
her
ordinance
in
millitarie
discipline
is
able
to
attempt
the
hardiest
enterprise
.
The
which
since
wee
haue
sufficient
,
conioyned
with
such
strength
,
let
vs
imploy
it
all
,
for
with
so
mightie
forces
,
it
were
an
easie
matter
to
ruinate
the
whole
world
.
The
which
,
that
it
may
be
done
with
more
courage
,
I
do
denounce
this
war
with
fire
and
sword
,
to
be
executed
,
yet
intreating
,
that
none
to
shew
himselfe
valiant
,
become
barbarously
cruell
:
for
nothing
so
much
as
it
doth
blemish
the
deserued
reputation
of
a
souldier
.
Where
ending
,
the
Admirall
discharged
thrée
péeces
of
ordinance
,
as
a
signe
that
euery
one
should
be
ready
against
the
mornings
Sun
vprise
,
with
outspread
sayles
,
to
recommend
their
Fortunes
to
the
fauours
of
the
windes
and
waues
.
A
great
encouragement
to
all
the
men
were
the
Generalles
animating
words
,
whereat
to
expresse
how
feruently
they
were
addicted
to
the
warres
,
they
all
vnsheathed
their
swords
,
proclaiming
the
obedient
faith
due
to
their
Prince
,
who
with
a
merrie
gale
of
winde
set
towards
Grecia
,
aduertising
the
Emperor
of
his
comming
,
who
was
not
a
little
glad
of
his
ayde
.
He
entered
the
wide
Hauen
of
Constaninople
,
discharging
all
his
grose
Artillerie
,
with
such
noise
,
that
heauen
and
earth
séemed
to
méet
,
al
the
Castles
answered
them
with
the
like
.
There
was
none
but
came
to
the
shore
,
to
see
the
entrance
of
the
Spanish
Fléet
.
No
lesse
gallant
on
land
then
a
good
souldier
on
Sea
,
would
hee
shewe
himselfe
,
landing
all
the
Spaniards
in
good
order
,
brauely
attired
,
and
euery
one
with
a
gréene
scarfe
a
crosse
his
breast
,
to
distinguish
them
from
the
Frenchmen
,
that
wore
theirs
read
,
and
the
Portugals
russet
.
In
this
maner
he
landed
50000.
Spaniards
,
30.
thousand
Portugals
,
and
fiftie
thousand
French
,
leauing
the
rest
to
guard
and
defend
his
Gallies
.
It
excéedingly
gladded
the
Emperor
to
sée
so
well
furnished
men
,
and
chiefly
with
father
and
sonne
,
whom
hauing
neuer
before
séene
,
in
his
very
soule
he
reioyced
to
sée
their
excellent
disposition
.
By
land
was
alreadie
arriued
his
deare
Grisanda
,
whose
companie
was
most
welcome
to
the
Gréeke
Ladies
.
The
immeasurable
ioy
cannot
be
expressed
,
which
the
Spaniards
conceiued
séeing
the
Dames
of
Greece
,
and
as
in
warre
no
amorous
thoughts
were
euer
troublesome
to
a
souldier
,
so
the
dread
command
of
angrie
Mars
,
could
not
hinder
them
from
the
procurement
of
some
swéet
sure
rest
,
in
whose
name
they
might
imploy
the
valor
of
their
persons
.
This
pleasing
life
did
little
last
,
for
the
Emperour
hauing
true
notice
that
his
friends
were
comming
to
succor
him
,
resolued
to
go
&
séek
his
enemies
,
&
know
gainst
whom
such
inumerable
powers
were
assembled
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
absence
of
his
deare
sonnes
much
troubled
him
,
for
he
had
onely
with
him
his
sonne
Rosuler
,
that
at
Oliuas
intreaties
did
stay
.
Also
the
furious
Brandafidel
was
with
him
,
on
whose
strength
he
reposed
much
hope
.
The
Gréeke
Alphebo
had
no
néed
of
aduertisement
,
for
the
generallitie
of
the
warres
was
come
vnto
his
eares
,
and
so
with
the
greatest
power
he
could
vnite
,
withdrew
himselfe
to
Tribizound
,
accompanied
with
Braminoro
and
Tefereo
:
who
most
gréeued
at
the
Princes
absence
,
was
the
beautious
Archisilora
,
attributing
the
lacke
of
Claridianos
presence
to
her
owne
strangenesse
:
her
sorrow
was
easily
discerned
by
her
outward
semblance
.
No
lesse
was
Rosamondes
to
sée
her
so
:
knowing
the
cause
,
it
so
tormented
her
,
that
for
feare
it
should
be
perceiued
,
she
resolued
to
absent
her selfe
,
for
commanding
the
Gouernors
of
her
kingdome
,
should
with
all
conuenient
spéede
,
conduct
the
greatest
power
of
well
prouided
men
they
could
select
●ut
of
her
Kingdome
to
Constantinople
,
and
there
to
rest
vnder
the
Emperours
gouernment
.
They
accomplisht
their
Quéens
beheft
(
for
then
she
,
no
Princesse
was
more
with
loue
respected
of
subiects
)
sending
when
time
serued
,
fiftie
thousand
of
well
armed
men
.
The
day
before
her
departure
,
shee
tooke
her
leaue
of
Rosamond
with
no
fewe
teares
,
for
neuer
betwéene
two
Ladies
was
such
simpathie
of
true
amitie
.
Very
importunately
she
offered
her
company
,
but
as
any
good
societie
wold
but
aggrauate
the
Quéenes
euill
,
shee
would
not
admit
it
:
saying
shee
might
not
leaue
Greece
and
the
Emperour
in
such
necessitie
.
Then
her
armes
(
being
the
best
the
world
contained
)
she
presented
her
.
Them
shee
also
refused
,
for
Lirgandeo
had
prouided
her
with
such
as
were
requisit
for
safegard
of
her
person
:
which
were
of
the
same
colour
as
Claridianos
,
sauing
that
the
sable
barres
were
filled
with
flames
of
fire
:
on
her
shield
was
a
gallant
deuise
,
for
out
of
a
field
full
of
odoriferous
flowers
,
a
Ladie
séemed
to
go
in
search
of
a
knight
,
after
whom
she
in
great
haste
ascended
vp
a
craggie
rocke
,
from
whence
she
looked
after
the
content
she
lost
:
and
the
Motto
betwéene
them
,
thus
.
Little
hope
of
ioyes
abide
,
That
leaue
knowne
ioyes
,
for
ioyes
vntride
.
Alone
would
the
warlike
warriour
néeds
go
,
thinking
her
gréefe
a
sufficient
company
:
all
the
Court
sorrowed
for
her
absence
:
but
Lirgandeo
assuring
them
of
her
safetie
,
their
discontent
was
lessened
,
mounted
on
a
lustie
Courser
,
shee
crost
the
woods
of
Greecia
,
thinking
on
her
Lord
,
calling
her selfe
a
thousand
times
most
cruell
,
for
that
in
being
so
,
shee
had
lost
him
:
and
by
the
losse
,
obtained
so
great
torments
.
Shee
shipt
her selfe
in
a
barke
bound
for
Alexandria
,
resolute
to
trauell
the
whole
world
,
in
pennance
of
her
folly
.
One
night
among
the
rest
,
while
the
warriours
slept
,
she
walked
(
as
she
vsed
)
on
the
hatches
,
with
her
laments
,
to
make
the
watrie
dwellers
partakers
of
her
gréefes
:
at
such
time
that
another
barke
sayled
by
hers
,
from
whence
might
be
heard
some
entermingled
grones
with
sighes
.
She
could
not
knowe
what
it
was
,
so
swift
it
went
away
.
After
it
with
all
possible
spéede
,
with
ores
and
sayles
,
she
commaunded
hers
should
followe
:
it
was
done
with
such
diligence
,
till
shee
ouertooke
the
barke
,
wherein
shee
sawe
a
Knight
complaine
of
Loue
and
Fortune
thus
.
Ay
me
vnfortunate
Prince
(
said
the
knight
)
is
it
possible
there
should
be
no
euill
,
but
the
extreamest
sower
it
containes
,
my
perplexed
soule
shuld
féele
?
Why
should
I
hope
for
any
good
,
when
with
mine
eyes
I
sée
it
flie
from
me
?
There
is
no
inconuenience
but
haunts
me
,
except
death
,
with
whom
I
cannot
be
acquainted
.
Oh
Gréekish
Prince
,
how
happily
mayest
thou
call
thy selfe
happie
,
by
being
in
thy
infancie
brought
vp
with
the
soueraigne
of
my
life
,
and
hearts
direction
,
since
that
was
an
occasion
for
the
obtaining
of
those
rights
solely
due
to
to
me
.
Oh
Liriano
,
(
thy
name
being
sufficient
to
asswage
the
gréefe
that
me
torments
)
who
might
by
sacrificing
my
life
into
thy
hands
,
assure
thée
in
faith
thy
Louer
deserue
not
comparison
with
me
.
To
you
,
to
you
,
Sea-Gods
do
I
complaine
:
Oh
you
I
pray
,
that
séeing
her
celestiall
habitation
is
in
your
vaste
confused
watrie
kingdome
,
a
little
intreate
her
for
the
vnhappie
Bembo
.
Oh
Loue
,
how
rigorously
hast
thou
in
all
things
shewen
thy
crueltie
against
me
?
Wherein
haue
I
offended
thée
?
when
disobeyd
I
thy
commands
?
when
violated
I
thy
lawes
?
abolished
thy
rights
?
or
when
did
my
painfull
thoughts
harbor
or
conceiue
the
least
imagination
against
thy
honour
or
deitie
?
If
this
be
so
,
and
not
vnknown
to
thée
,
why
doest
thou
wound
him
with
tyrannie
,
that
is
orborne
with
weaknesse
,
and
thy
disastrous
chaunces
?
Oh
how
many
any
(
pardon
me
faire
Ladies
)
be
hereafter
confident
on
your
perfections
,
your
crueltie
being
as
great
as
your
beauties
are
incomparable
,
if
you
reward
him
that
can
loue
,
like
him
that
onely
liues
to
hate
?
No
more
could
the
Ladie
heare
,
for
the
barke
was
guided
by
Lupertio
,
but
what
she
heard
was
ynough
to
increase
her
paine
,
and
raise
some
doubt
,
that
the
named
Prince
was
he
whom
she
loued
.
Oh
generall
plague
(
said
the
gréeued
Lady
)
none
canst
thou
forgiue
,
shewing
thy
care
in
most
tormenting
them
,
that
are
most
carelesse
of
thée
.
A
shower
of
infinit
teares
rained
the
Quéene
downe
her
pearled
théekes
,
procéeding
from
the
extremitie
of
loue
:
hauing
so
done
,
séeing
her selfe
comfortlesse
,
and
not
knowing
whom
to
aske
for
,
hauing
no
notice
of
the
Gréekes
deuise
,
she
began
to
giue
vent
vnto
her
swelling
thoughts
,
singing
these
verses
.
My
heart
will
burst
except
it
be
discharg'd
,
Of
his
huge
load
,
that
doth
oppresse
it
so
:
Streames
stopt
,
oreflow
the
bankes
,
if
not
enlarg'd
,
And
fire
supprest
,
doth
much
more
fiercer
grow
.
Great
woes
ript
vp
,
but
halfe
the
woe
remaines
:
But
paines
concealde
,
doth
aggrauate
the
paines
.
Sing
then
my
soule
the
storie
of
my
losse
,
Forme
in
sweete
words
the
anguish
of
my
minde
:
Yet
doo
not
:
singing
ill
becomes
a
crosse
,
Rather
sigh
out
,
how
hard
Loues
yoke
I
finde
.
Loue
is
a
sicknesse
,
singing
a
ioy
:
And
pleasure
is
no
pack
horse
for
annoy
.
And
must
I
then
,
knowing
Loue
a
disease
,
That
fils
our
soules
with
strang
calamities
:
Spite
of
my
heart
enforc'd
my selfe
to
please
,
And
in
mine
owne
armes
hug
my
miseries
?
And
seeing
still
my
state
waxe
worse
and
worse
,
Must
I
of
force
embrace
and
kisse
my
curse
.
I
must
,
I
must
,
Cupid
hath
sworne
I
must
,
And
t'
is
in
vaine
and
bootlesse
to
resist
:
Then
be
not
(
Loue
)
oh
be
not
too
vniust
,
I
yeeld
me
to
thy
rule
,
rule
how
thou
list
.
For
my
reclaim'd
rebellion
shall
bring
foorth
,
A
treble
dutie
to
thy
glorious
woorth
.
Oh
Loue
,
sweete
Loue
,
oh
high
and
heauenly
Loue
,
The
Court
of
pleasure
,
Paradice
of
rest
:
Without
whose
circuit
all
things
bitter
prooue
,
Within
whose
centure
euery
wretch
is
blest
.
Oh
graunt
me
pardon
sacred
deitie
,
I
do
recant
my
former
heresie
.
And
thou
the
gearest
Idoll
of
my
thought
,
Whom
loue
I
did
,
and
do
,
and
alwaies
will
:
Oh
pardon
what
my
coy
disdaine
hath
wrought
,
My
coy
disdaine
,
the
author
of
this
ill
.
And
for
the
pride
that
I
haue
shew'd
before
:
(
By
Loue
I
sweare
)
I
le
loue
thee
ten
times
more
.
Hast
thou
shed
teares
?
those
teares
will
I
repay
,
Ten
teares
for
one
,
a
hundreth
teares
for
ten
.
Hath
my
proude
rigor
hunted
thee
astray
?
I
le
loose
my
life
,
or
bring
thee
backe
agen
.
Each
sigh
I
le
quittance
with
a
thousand
grones
,
And
each
complaint
with
a
whole
age
of
mones
.
And
when
I
finde
thee
,
as
I
finde
the
will
,
Or
loose
my selfe
in
seeking
what
I
loue
:
Then
will
I
trie
with
all
true
humble
skill
,
Thy
pittie
on
my
great
offence
to
moue
.
Till
when
,
my
griefes
are
more
then
tongue
can
tel
,
My
daies
are
nights
,
and
euerie
place
is
hell
.
With
a
heauie
sigh
shee
ended
:
but
as
if
singing
had
but
in
part
discharged
her
sorrowes
,
she
beganne
with
saying
to
prosecute
them
as
followeth
.
Ay
me
!
Quéen
of
Lyra
,
(
said
the
Ladie
)
that
hauing
no
cause
to
complaine
,
do
suffer
thus
deseruedly
,
a
iust
pay
for
such
deserts
.
Of
whom
else
might
I
hope
to
bee
loued
,
beeing
by
the
Gréeke
Prince
adored
?
On
the
earth
,
of
whom
couldst
thou
expect
any
good
,
if
not
from
thy
Gréeke
?
Oh
woe
is
me
,
that
the
trust
of
my
small
consideration
should
bring
me
to
this
passe
,
that
I
must
make
the
winds
witnesse
of
my
paines
:
and
that
to
my
vnblemisht
honours
cost
,
I
must
hue
and
wander
by
sea
and
land
,
demaunding
for
him
Archysiloras
loue
:
when
I
mought
haue
liued
with
ioy
,
with
pleasure
,
and
in
quiet
,
by
giuing
him
a
little
signe
of
that
happinesse
,
I
my selfe
receiued
by
being
his
:
but
séeing
it
is
thus
brought
about
,
loue
I
will
,
and
patiently
embrace
this
iust
imposed
toyle
.
Here
was
her
languishment
renewed
,
séeing
a
knight
come
directly
towards
her
shippe
,
lying
a
long
the
hatches
of
another
,
exclaiming
against
Cupids
ordinances
.
Who
euer
suffered
(
said
he
)
his
heart
to
followe
and
séeke
his
owne
dishonour
?
What
lawe
allowes
the
soule
to
disclose
that
,
whose
secrecie
preserueth
no
lesse
then
life
?
Accidents
be
these
onely
incident
in
loue
,
for
he
as
the
King
of
extreames
enforceth
me
,
not
regarding
my
fame
,
to
procure
anothers
consent
.
Oh
(
most
valiant
Knight
)
who
shall
beléeue
thou
shouldest
with
mee
violate
thy
word
?
Thou
knowst
I
loue
thée
,
&
also
the
I
follow
thée
,
but
I
know
to
aggrauate
my
woe
,
thou
fliest
my
presence
?
What
is
become
of
those
swéete
words
at
our
parting
thou
spakest
?
where
is
the
faith
wherwithon
my
hands
thou
vowedst
loyaltie
,
protesting
,
if
any
pleasure
thou
shouldest
haue
,
it
would
procéede
only
from
thinking
thou
art
mine
?
Thou
doest
ill
guerdon
the
bountie
wherewith
I
laide
open
vnto
thée
the
secrets
of
my
soule
,
making
my selfe
tributary
vnknowne
to
whome
.
I
did
it
when
thou
iudgedst
it
newe
life
,
newe
ioy
,
newe
ease
,
and
newe
content
:
But
now
altogither
forgetfull
,
thou
fliest
from
me
,
that
liue
to
loue
thée
.
So
ouerwhelmed
in
her
owne
thoughts
was
the
bewteous
Floralizar
,
who
departing
from
the
furious
Brauorant
,
followed
the
searche
of
the
Tinacrian
,
whom
shée
so
intierly
affected
,
that
shée
regarded
not
whether
any
heard
her
.
By
the
complaints
did
Archisilora
knowe
her
to
be
a
Ladie
,
and
pittying
her
,
caused
her
Barke
to
be
grappled
with
the
other
,
and
saide
.
No
maruell
(
heroicke
Ladie
)
that
since
the
lande
hath
alreadie
beene
acquainted
with
your
constancie
,
you
nowe
participate
your
faith
vnto
these
inhospitable
waters
.
Be
of
good
courage
,
for
you
haue
company
in
your
woes
:
and
such
as
wil
neglect
his
owne
to
remedie
yours
.
At
the
voyce
rose
Floralindas
daughter
,
and
replied
.
Who
are
you
(
Syr
Knight
)
that
so
kindly
doo
commiserate
my
paine
,
which
is
the
greatest
that
euer
was
inclosed
in
any
humane
breast
?
I
am
hée
,
(
saide
Archisilora
)
who
with
my
soule
(
valiant
Ladie
)
will
procure
your
quiet
:
and
therefore
pray
you
,
accept
such
seruice
as
my
Barke
wil
yéeld
:
for
it
may
be
,
the
recitall
of
your
griefs
to
me
,
and
I
mine
to
you
,
wil
be
a
mittigation
of
some
sorrow
.
I
le
not
forgo
the
enioying
of
so
good
company
as
that
you
offer
mee
(
Syr
knight
)
said
Floraliza
,
intreating
I
may
know
who
you
be
that
alreadie
knowes
my
gréefs
?
The
Ladies
gallant
behauior
had
attracted
the
Lirian
Matrons
affection
,
who
replied
.
In
more
then
this
doo
I
desire
to
satisfie
you
soueraigne
Ladie
,
but
first
step
into
my
ship
,
where
I
wil
do
it
at
full
.
To
know
your
name
(
answered
Floraliza
)
a
harder
enterprise
would
I
attempt
.
So
leapt
she
into
the
Quéenes
Barke
,
saying
.
Aduantage
hath
my
Barke
got
(
sir
knight
)
with
my
absence
,
to
which
being
alone
,
the
winds
and
waters
may
now
be
more
fauourable
,
then
when
I
was
in
it
,
and
since
we
haue
this
opportunitie
,
deare
sir
,
defer
not
my
desire
.
With
neuer
a
word
the
haughtie
Quéene
vnlaced
her
Helme
,
resting
more
faire
then
was
Latonas
sonne
,
when
onely
for
loue
he
kept
Admetus
shéepe
.
Floralizas
was
also
of
,
whose
beautie
was
equalled
by
fewe
,
and
that
want
was
with
valour
supplied
.
Let
it
not
gréeue
you
Soueraigne
Lady
said
the
Quéene
,
that
I
knowe
she
cause
of
your
mones
,
for
mine
are
no
lesse
:
which
I
suffer
séeking
for
him
,
that
ought
to
dye
louing
,
but
since
I
am
the
cause
therof
,
it
is
reason
I
endure
the
extremitie
of
gréefe
:
and
séeing
loue
hath
equalled
vs
therein
,
I
le
no
longer
kéepe
from
you
who
I
am
.
So
she
related
vnto
her
euerie
thing
she
could
,
not
naming
Claridiano
.
Why
now
(
said
Alicandros
Néece
)
I
do
account
my
paine
a
pleasure
,
being
pittied
by
you
,
and
haue
assured
hope
we
shall
quickly
finde
redresse
:
wherto
the
Quéene
answered
.
Gladly
would
I
know
who
he
is
to
labor
your
content
.
Any
certaine
thing
I
know
not
(
replyed
she
)
more
then
that
I
am
an
others
:
for
a
brother
of
mine
called
Celindo
,
and
my selfe
,
were
brought
vp
without
knowledge
of
father
,
though
since
we
receiued
the
order
of
armes
,
we
haue
met
with
certaine
tokens
to
be
children
vnto
the
prince
Meridian
.
Excéeding
ioy
conceiued
the
Quéen
,
of
the
Ladies
company
,
resoluing
to
enioy
it
so
long
as
she
would
.
They
vowed
firme
amitie
,
which
towards
the
peace
was
of
no
small
effect
:
for
this
Lady
was
of
highest
estimation
among
the
Pagans
,
in
the
Grecian
warres
.
By
little
and
little
being
tender
of
yeares
,
and
knowing
that
the
manifesting
of
their
loues
,
was
some
ease
to
their
borthering
cares
,
either
vnderstood
who
was
the
Louer
to
the
other
.
Vppon
which
occasion
Floraliza
thus
saide
.
So
that
our
fortune
doth
permit
(
most
Péerelesse
Princesse
)
the
Gréeke
Princes
to
tryumph
ouer
our
hearts
.
Séeing
the
heauens
will
haue
it
so
(
excellent
Lady
aunswered
the
Quéene
)
and
so
haue
fauoured
them
from
their
birthes
,
we
cannot
but
acknowledge
their
Soueraigntie
,
specially
the
Tynacrian
Prince
,
knowing
how
great
his
gaines
are
,
thus
being
loued
.
To
which
Floraliza
made
aunswere
.
Stay
my
good
Quéene
:
how
well
(
by
knowing
your selfe
to
be
loued
)
doo
you
iudge
a
straungers
distresse
?
who
would
not
liue
contented
in
middest
of
the
greatest
euill
,
were
wée
certaine
of
that
assurance
?
What
paine
would
not
then
be
a
pleasure
?
or
what
could
make
mee
a
stranger
to
my selfe
,
onely
séeking
the
company
of
my
woes
?
But
I
feare
illustrious
Ladie
,
that
as
the
heauens
haue
made
them
absolute
happie
,
so
some
one
of
them
wil
place
his
felicitie
in
scorning
her
shall
most
intierly
loue
him
:
And
if
any
there
be
that
wil
most
truly
verifie
my
doubt
,
it
wil
be
the
sonne
of
that
most
cruel
Garrofilea
:
For
what
could
procéed
from
so
cruel
a
mother
,
but
so
cruel
a
sonne
,
to
reiect
the
constantest
faith
that
any
age
ere
knew
.
Let
it
not
so
gréeue
you
bewteous
Floraliza
(
said
the
Quéene
)
that
the
knight
of
the
Braunch
doo
wander
in
absence
of
your
presence
,
so
we
distrust
not
of
his
loue
:
And
you
doo
not
well
to
condemne
him
of
ingratitude
:
for
i
le
pawne
my
word
vnto
you
,
vowing
by
my
high
thoughts
,
to
procure
with
all
my
power
your
chéefest
ioy
:
for
it
were
iniustice
,
another
should
call
him
hers
,
you
being
alone
in
the
world
that
deserue
him
.
This
liberall
promise
was
some
comfort
to
Floraliza
,
as
thinking
that
in
her
company
she
should
not
méete
with
any
inconuenience
,
although
she
perswaded
her selfe
she
should
not
hope
euer
to
be
by
him
beloued
.
In
pleasant
discourses
of
Loue
and
Armes
,
they
past
away
,
their
else
ouer
tedious
voyage
,
vntil
the
fiftéene
day
of
their
Nauigation
,
that
they
arriued
at
the
fruitful
land
of
Tinacria
,
where
what
aduentures
there
befel
them
,
another
Chapter
shall
relate
.
CHAP.
IX
.
The
aduentures
that
happened
vnto
the
two
Ladies
in
Tynacria
,
with
certaine
Gyants
that
had
by
stealth
imprisoned
the
Queene
Garrofilia
,
and
her
bewteous
daughter
Rosaluyra
.
GLad
in
their
glittering
rich
abillements
of
warre
,
landed
the
two
warrelike
Ladies
,
bringing
on
shoare
the
Quéenes
Horse
:
which
she
offered
to
Floraliza
,
that
would
not
take
it
,
but
would
goe
a
foote
,
which
made
Archifilora
doo
the
like
,
with
maiesticke
pace
leading
her
Courser
by
the
bridle
.
Along
a
broade
and
beaten
pathe
trauelled
both
these
Princes
of
bewtie
,
and
Bellonas
in
valour
.
They
had
not
gone
scarce
a
mile
,
when
they
espied
thrée
knights
of
gallant
disposition
:
and
well
mounted
,
comming
the
same
way
:
a
crosse
the
same
lane
issued
an
other
:
then
whom
the
Ladies
had
not
séene
many
of
more
liberal
and
brauer
carriage
:
his
deuice
and
armes
were
discribed
at
the
Tryumphes
in
Constantinople
,
for
this
was
Don
Clarisel
of
Assyria
,
Floralizas
great
Louer
.
Well
did
the
Lady
know
him
,
and
although
the
faith
he
shewed
her
,
could
no
whit
withdraw
her
affection
from
the
Tynacrian
:
Neuerthelesse
,
it
pleased
her
to
giue
him
that
content
that
Ladies
vse
to
yéeld
in
pleasant
chat
,
reseruing
the
best
for
their
soules
beloued
.
She
tolde
the
Quéene
,
how
shee
knewe
that
Knight
,
but
it
behooued
her
to
bee
then
concealed
,
for
that
she
told
her
.
At
length
they
all
met
,
and
none
of
them
but
incessantly
gazed
on
both
the
Ladies
.
None
of
the
thrée
Knights
were
so
courteous
as
the
Assyrian
Prince
,
and
so
the
one
said
.
It
were
some
case
(
Sir
knights
)
for
one
to
ride
while
the
other
went
on
foot
,
and
so
by
turnes
to
vse
your
horse
.
Because
we
will
not
trouble
our selues
(
answered
Floraliza
)
to
mount
and
dismount
so
often
,
we
haue
chosen
thus
to
trauell
togither
,
vntill
by
some
good
chance
we
get
an
other
horse
.
This
countrey
doth
yéeld
so
fewe
(
said
he
)
Sir
knight
,
that
I
feare
it
will
be
very
hard
to
get
one
.
Notwithstanding
,
I
had
rather
haue
my
hopes
(
replied
the
lady
)
them
thy
vnciuill
answere
:
whereto
the
knight
said
.
What
,
comming
on
foot
and
with
such
little
shew
of
valour
,
dare
you
make
comparatiues
with
my
words
?
which
were
you
better
mounted
then
I
am
,
I
would
not
suffer
,
especially
comming
as
you
doo
.
There
is
no
fault
(
said
the
Lady
)
but
may
bee
found
in
a
discourteous
knight
,
and
therefore
,
hauing
committed
this
,
there
is
no
doubt
but
you
haue
all
the
rest
:
yet
if
you
will
try
your
much
strength
with
mine
,
I
am
content
to
doo
it
:
conditionally
,
that
he
which
shall
forgoe
his
saddle
,
loose
his
horse
and
armour
.
Had
you
a
horse
(
said
the
knight
)
I
would
not
much
care
to
doo
it
,
were
it
but
to
disburthen
you
of
your
armed
loade
:
which
now
in
hotte
weather
will
be
surely
troublesome
.
Let
not
that
gréeue
you
(
said
shee
)
for
my
companion
will
lend
me
his
horse
,
and
be
content
to
loose
him
,
if
you
ouerthrowe
me
.
Eare
he
could
answere
,
with
such
grace
she
leapt
into
the
saddle
,
that
the
Quéen
and
Prince
were
amazed
,
and
brandishing
her
Lance
,
she
went
towards
the
knight
,
saying
.
Go
too
,
discourteous
knight
,
now
is
the
time
to
trie
whether
of
the
two
can
better
kéepe
his
armor
.
Forced
through
the
challenge
hée
had
made
,
and
the
presence
of
his
companions
,
he
turned
about
his
great
horse
,
which
was
the
last
he
did
in
all
his
life
.
For
meeting
,
although
the
Ladie
receiued
a
strong
incounter
,
hers
was
such
,
that
making
three
parts
of
the
lance
appeare
at
his
backe
,
at
one
instant
,
he
lost
horse
,
armour
,
and
life
.
No
longer
stayed
the
other
two
,
séeing
their
friend
slaine
,
but
ranne
against
the
Ladie
,
no
more
stirring
her
,
then
if
they
had
run
against
a
rocke
.
The
Quéen
was
abashed
,
seeing
how
basely
the
Knights
behaued
themselues
,
so
drawing
foorth
her
good
sword
,
at
two
steps
shee
was
where
Floraliza
stood
,
with
Camillas
in
her
hand
.
The
Quéen
entred
sidelong
with
her
sword
aloft
,
which
valiantly
discharging
on
the
Knights
helm
,
she
strooke
him
from
his
horse
,
and
with
another
,
on
the
ground
ended
his
life
:
which
done
,
quickly
mounted
his
horse
,
confounding
the
Assyrian
with
admiration
,
who
turning
about
,
sawe
the
Ladie
beate
the
other
Knight
vnto
the
earth
,
with
a
most
pitteous
wound
:
whose
paine
,
ere
it
left
him
,
left
him
lifelesse
.
The
Quéene
went
to
her
,
and
laughing
said
.
In
faith
(
sir
Knight
)
wee
haue
now
horses
for
Pages
,
had
we
brought
any
,
if
they
were
on
foote
,
&
wanting
armour
,
here
we
want
no
choise
.
A
greater
punishment
then
this
(
said
Floraliza
)
deserued
their
discourtesie
:
and
turning
to
the
Assyrian
,
thus
spake
.
Haue
you
any
néed
(
sir
Knight
)
of
our
helpes
,
for
since
we
haue
got
horses
,
a
little
haste
else
calles
vs
away
.
By
the
voyce
he
séemed
to
know
her
,
whose
figure
he
had
impressed
in
his
heart
,
and
so
in
some
amazement
did
replie
.
Not
at
this
time
(
sir
Knight
)
more
then
comming
in
time
,
that
I
might
enioy
the
sight
of
your
high
déed
,
I
would
not
loose
the
conceiued
content
of
gazing
on
them
,
especially
being
atchiued
by
whom
deserues
the
honour
of
euery
victorie
.
So
fearing
the
Prince
had
knowne
,
or
that
by
longer
conuersation
she
might
be
discouered
,
she
tooke
leaue
of
him
,
and
with
the
Quéene
entred
into
a
thicket
adioyning
,
to
rest
,
not
of
the
battell
toyle
,
but
of
the
seas
wearinesse
.
They
allighted
,
letting
their
horses
féed
on
the
grasse
,
where
shee
recounted
who
Don
Clarisell
was
,
and
how
sincerely
he
published
himselfe
to
bee
her
Louer
,
and
how
vnknowne
to
either
,
they
were
brought
vp
in
one
wood
.
She
did
recite
the
aduentures
with
such
passion
,
that
the
Quéene
verily
he
should
certainly
marry
her
.
In
many
diuers
matters
did
the
two
Ladies
chat
away
the
afternoone
,
leauing
vntil
the
next
day
their
approach
vnto
the
great
and
famous
Citie
of
Tynacria
,
where
so
many
aduentures
happened
vnto
the
mightie
Emperour
Trebatio
.
It
greatly
pleased
Floraliza
to
tread
on
the
soyle
of
her
deare
knight
,
hartily
beséeching
the
immortal
Gods
,
to
graunt
her
no
other
end
of
her
desires
then
her
faith
deserued
,
wherwith
she
sought
him
:
for
she
neuer
imagined
any
thing
,
but
what
increased
loue
,
to
loue
him
,
and
with
vnfained
constancy
harbouring
his
affaires
in
the
midst
or
her
heart
,
transferring
them
from
thence
vnto
the
soule
,
to
giue
them
there
a
place
more
quiet
,
frée
from
the
worlds
perturbations
,
and
fortunes
assaulting
stormes
:
and
where
she
might
better
contemplate
her
happinesse
,
being
the
Tynacrians
Maisters
.
They
scruple
of
that
litle
they
had
from
the
Barke
brought
,
with
more
content
in
being
there
pursuing
their
Louers
,
then
were
they
in
Constantinople
,
féeding
on
the
daintiest
cates
of
the
Emperors
Court.
Hauing
done
,
they
a
while
discoursed
of
their
knights
,
thinking
that
time
lost
wherein
they
did
not
remember
them
.
The
houre
of
rest
being
come
,
the
tender
Ladies
made
their
blanckets
of
their
beds
,
the
earth
,
and
for
pillowes
tooke
their
Helmes
,
and
not
without
some
teares
to
sée
themselues
in
that
manner
,
and
vncertaine
whether
their
toyle
would
auaile
them
.
She
that
slept
least
,
not
for
louing
most
,
but
fearing
her
affections
zeale
would
not
bee
accepted
,
was
the
Emperour
Alicandros
Néece
,
that
about
midnight
vnclasping
the
booke
of
her
secret
thoughts
,
she
found
it
so
full
of
amorous
arguments
,
grounded
on
deare
experience
,
that
it
caused
in
her
a
newe
griefe
:
which
tormenting
her
with
some
extraordinary
passion
,
to
giue
it
passage
she
sat
her
vnder
a
loftie
Pyne
,
where
supposing
the
Quéene
of
Lyra
was
not
awake
,
she
began
with
more
melodious
harmony
(
then
his
,
that
descended
into
the
vawtes
of
hell
,
among
those
blacke
inhabitants
,
to
fetch
his
deare
wife
)
to
sing
these
verses
.
Once
I
thought
,
but
falsly
thought
Cupid
all
delight
had
brought
,
And
that
Loue
had
been
a
treasure
,
And
a
Pallace
full
of
pleasure
,
Bur
alas
!
too
soone
I
proue
,
Nothing
is
so
sower
as
Loue
.
That
for
sorrow
my
Muse
sings
:
Loue
's
a
Bee
,
and
Bees
haue
stings
.
When
I
thought
I
had
obtained
That
deare
sollace
,
which
if
gained
Should
haue
caus'd
all
Ioy
to
spring
,
(
View'd
)
I
found
it
no
such
thing
:
But
in
steed
of
sweete
desires
,
Found
a
Rose
hem'd
in
with
Bryers
.
That
for
sorrow
my
Muse
sings
:
Loue
's
a
Bee
,
and
Bees
haue
stings
.
Wonted
pleasant
life
adew
,
Loue
hath
chaung'd
thee
for
a
new
:
New
indeed
,
and
sowre
I
proue
it
,
Yet
I
cannot
chuse
but
loue
it
.
And
as
if
it
were
delight
,
I
pursue
it
day
and
night
.
That
with
sorrow
my
Muse
sings
:
I
loue
Bees
,
though
Bees
haue
stings
.
With
many
Millions
of
sighs
she
ended
.
The
swéete
melodie
awaked
the
faire
Archisilora
,
ioying
to
sée
her
so
firme
a
Louer
.
Long
did
they
not
continue
thus
,
by
reason
that
from
the
farthest
side
of
the
thicket
,
they
heard
the
trampling
of
many
horses
,
and
now
&
then
,
the
cries
of
outraged
Ladies
,
by
violence
opprest
.
A
little
thing
was
inough
to
moue
them
,
being
naturally
bold
,
togither
they
rose
&
bridled
their
horses
,
and
swifter
then
the
wind
they
spurd
after
the
noyse
.
In
such
haste
went
they
,
that
though
they
quickly
got
into
the
high
way
,
yet
could
they
not
know
the
cause
.
They
durst
not
sunder
themselues
for
feare
of
loosing
,
but
rather
referring
their
affaires
to
Fortunes
dispose
,
they
followed
along
that
way
which
was
most
beaten
with
horses
hoofes
:
Two
myles
they
gallopt
not
finding
what
they
desired
,
til
with
the
mornings
suns
vprise
,
in
a
large
faire
plain
they
descried
some
40.
knights
,
and
3.
Gyants
,
that
guarded
a
waggon
drawne
with
4.
horses
.
Assured
to
haue
found
what
they
sought
,
they
let
goe
their
Coursers
reignes
,
with
more
fiercenesse
then
Mars
himself
.
Neuer
was
such
boldnes
séen
,
for
the
knights
were
mightie
,
and
for
the
enterprise
chosen
,
and
the
Giants
euery
one
an
Hercules
.
Neuertheles
,
the
royall
Ladies
nothing
doubting
the
fearful
assault
,
with
their
swords
in
hand
,
entred
among
those
knights
,
as
the
hungry
Lyon
enters
a
heard
of
harmelesse
shéep
,
to
séek
his
praie
.
Against
the
Ladies
strength
,
their
aduersaries
stéele
doubled
shéelds
nor
fine
tempored
armor
was
no
defence
:
for
their
valor
and
puissance
was
infinit
,
and
the
desire
they
had
to
frée
the
prisoners
,
made
them
with
more
force
floorish
their
swords
among
them
.
Ere
they
were
aware
,
eight
of
their
fellowes
were
slaine
,
and
the
rest
strooke
the
Ladies
with
many
encounters
:
but
their
Armor
was
such
,
as
they
suffered
no
impression
.
So
the
furie
of
their
Launces
being
past
,
Oh
Archysilora
,
who
would
not
admire
thée
,
séeing
thée
raised
on
thy
styrrops
,
the
shéelde
at
thy
backe
,
and
with
thy
sword
betwixt
both
thy
hands
,
range
among
those
knights
,
giuing
no
blowe
,
but
was
deadly
,
or
deadly
wounding
?
At
her
héeles
followed
the
Sythian
Matrone
,
that
no
lesse
then
she
made
her selfe
feared
with
Camillas
blade
,
whose
edge
euen
to
the
bone
pierced
their
armor
.
It
séemed
they
both
striued
to
excéed
the
other
in
déeds
,
almost
impossible
in
humane
sight
.
Abashed
were
the
Gyants
togither
with
a
bigge
Knight
that
was
Lord
of
them
all
,
to
sée
how
two
knights
hazarded
their
pryze
,
with
so
much
labour
obtained
:
to
be
rid
of
them
two
Gyants
,
with
croes
of
Iron
made
towards
them
,
crying
to
their
knights
:
Away
,
away
,
you
cowards
,
for
shame
blush
to
sée
two
Knights
thus
vsed
.
Neuer
were
they
by
them
obeyed
more
willingly
then
then
:
for
with
the
word
they
withheld
their
swords
,
accounting
that
command
their
liues
,
which
fighting
with
the
two
,
they
aduentured
on
the
dyce
.
The
two
mightie
Gyants
on
their
styrrops
stretcht
themselues
,
and
shaking
their
armes
,
threw
the
croes
more
fiercer
then
were
they
hurried
from
a
Cannons
mouth
.
Carfully
did
the
two
Ladies
(
séeing
how
it
concerned
them
)
expectit
,
that
spurring
their
horses
,
gaue
way
vnto
the
Iauelings
,
and
ioyning
so
neare
their
Maisters
,
that
ere
they
drew
their
Comitors
,
they
made
them
féele
the
waight
of
their
armes
.
So
eager
was
Meridians
daughters
assault
,
that
she
lost
the
strength
of
her
blowe
,
yet
was
it
such
,
that
falling
on
his
Beuer
it
dazelled
his
sight
,
and
wounded
him
at
large
on
the
fronte
,
from
whence
the
bloud
issuing
,
and
dropping
in
his
eyes
,
blinded
him
,
to
the
Ladies
great
aduantage
.
Forward
she
past
,
swifter
then
lightning
,
and
with
the
same
she
turned
:
at
such
time
that
the
Gyant
did
so
,
as
furious
as
a
bayted
Bull
,
with
his
Fawchon
raysed
against
her
,
that
he
wounded
him
,
and
at
once
on
either
discharged
the
furie
of
their
weapons
.
A
thousand
starres
saw
the
Lady
within
her
rich
helme
,
but
the
Giants
was
filled
with
blood
,
for
the
thin
edged
sword
on
the
head
,
wounded
him
dangerously
.
This
while
was
not
the
Quéene
idle
,
for
in
her
assault
she
had
brauely
done
he
part
:
and
being
longer
winded
,
and
more
vsed
to
the
warre
then
Floraliza
,
with
Mars
his
strength
,
she
laid
him
on
the
side
of
his
helme
,
disarming
all
that
part
,
and
on
the
head
gaue
him
a
mightie
wound
,
cutting
away
a
péece
of
the
skull
,
and
the
blade
discending
downe
the
shoulder
,
with
like
furie
,
as
the
roaring
waters
runne
through
a
lockt
riuer
,
it
strooke
away
all
his
Vanbrace
,
and
with
it
cut
all
the
laces
off
his
shield
,
and
made
him
shake
like
a
loftie
Pyne
:
strooke
with
an
other
blast
,
she
gaue
her
horse
the
reignes
,
and
quickly
turned
him
before
the
Gyant
,
setled
himselfe
,
shee
let
flie
at
his
wounded
arme
.
This
blowe
assured
her
the
victorie
,
for
lighting
on
the
vnarmed
place
,
she
threw
it
to
the
ground
,
and
made
him
roare
horribly
:
for
the
wound
was
mortall
.
Without
payment
scaped
not
the
Quéene
,
for
ere
his
soule
departed
,
dispairing
of
life
,
so
mightie
a
blowe
hee
discharhed
on
her
head
,
that
she
fell
vpon
her
horse
,
voyding
much
blood
from
her
mouth
:
with
such
strength
was
it
executed
,
that
finding
no
other
stay
,
it
drew
the
Gyant
after
it
,
who
like
a
Tower
ouerturned
with
a
whirle
winde
,
he
fell
downe
.
Long
in
accompanying
him
was
not
the
other
,
for
Floraliza
enuying
what
the
Quéene
had
done
,
so
vehemently
pursued
her
Combat
,
that
she
tumbled
the
Gyant
at
her
horses
féete
,
with
so
many
deadly
wounds
,
that
he
straight
gaue
his
soule
vnto
the
diuell
,
that
long
since
had
expected
it
.
No
longer
stay
made
the
other
Gyant
and
knight
,
but
with
their
Coursers
fastest
running
,
prickt
against
the
Ladies
,
to
surprise
them
vnawares
.
Dangerous
were
not
the
encounters
,
by
reason
of
their
enchaunted
armor
,
though
they
were
extreame
greeuous
.
Betwéene
the
foure
,
they
began
one
of
the
brauest
battels
on
the
earth
.
But
at
the
instant
it
was
disordered
:
for
the
knights
not
respecting
their
honors
,
altogither
stept
to
aide
their
maisters
:
in
no
little
danger
were
the
ladies
,
séeing
themselues
assaulted
so
many
waies
:
but
fetching
strength
and
courage
from
their
amorous
breasts
,
they
inacted
déeds
impossible
to
Mars
his
sight
.
He
that
most
vext
them
was
the
great
Knight
,
being
one
of
the
stoutest
in
all
Paganisme
.
With
him
the
faire
Quéene
made
her
battell
,
thinking
by
that
meanes
the
victorie
was
surest
.
Shee
left
the
beautious
Floraliza
with
the
Gyant
,
and
some
twentie
Knights
that
were
left
,
but
so
wounded
,
that
she
quickly
brought
them
to
twelue
.
They
were
all
busied
in
those
bloodie
affaires
,
when
the
braue
Assyrian
like
a
thunderbolte
galloped
along
that
field
towards
them
:
who
also
had
heard
the
Ladies
outcries
in
the
Chariot
,
and
hasting
to
helpe
them
,
had
lost
himselfe
in
the
wood
,
notwithstanding
he
came
in
good
time
,
amazed
to
sée
so
many
dead
.
He
knew
the
Knights
,
and
they
him
:
he
entred
with
his
lance
aboue
hand
:
a
better
blowe
was
not
executed
in
that
battell
,
for
approaching
the
place
where
his
Ladle
fought
,
strongly
brandishing
,
he
threwe
it
at
the
Gyant
,
which
penetrating
all
his
stéeles
places
,
it
appeared
at
his
backe
,
the
pike
bloodie
with
his
hearts
gore
.
This
blowe
was
to
no
small
purpose
,
for
it
mooued
a
suddain
strange
alteration
in
the
Ladies
breast
,
iudging
so
well
of
him
that
gaue
it
,
that
ouer
ioyed
with
that
content
,
she
said
to
her selfe
.
Oh
most
heroicke
Knight
,
would
I
might
satisfie
thy
desires
,
and
not
wrong
the
Tynacririan
.
There
stayed
not
the
galliant
Don
Clarisell
,
for
drawing
foorth
Mylos
furious
sword
,
he
gaue
no
blowe
,
but
ouerthrew
an
enemie
dead
:
close
by
them
went
the
Ladie
,
excéeding
glad
to
sée
him
.
On
horsebacke
was
the
Prince
,
one
of
the
greatest
Knights
in
the
world
,
and
so
richly
armed
,
no
heart
could
desire
more
.
For
all
this
,
ceased
not
the
warlike
Lirian
Matrone
to
pursue
the
great
Knight
,
entring
,
and
retiring
with
such
agillitie
,
as
Mars
himselfe
,
were
hee
there
,
could
wish
no
more
.
In
his
countrie
was
the
Pagan
accounted
the
valiantest
knowne
,
wherefore
he
brauely
held
out
in
fight
.
Of
all
helpes
néeded
he
,
combatting
with
the
Quéene
,
both
in
beautie
,
and
in
valour
,
who
florishing
her
weapon
,
stept
in
with
one
foote
forward
,
and
lay
open
,
that
the
Pagan
might
enter
:
who
being
excéeding
skilfull
,
perceiued
her
intent
,
and
making
her
loose
two
blowes
,
gaue
her
two
thrusts
one
after
another
,
which
forced
her
to
bow
backwards
on
her
horse
:
as
she
raised
her selfe
,
with
all
possible
spéede
hee
strooke
her
on
her
rich
helme
,
but
reacht
her
onely
with
the
poynt
,
wherefore
the
blowe
was
not
to
much
purpose
,
though
it
gréeued
her
much
.
No
Hircanian
Tyger
was
now
comparable
to
the
Quéene
in
fury
,
to
sée
her selfe
so
vsed
,
she
florished
her
sword
,
and
let
it
fall
so
mightily
on
his
head
,
that
it
felde
him
along
the
saddle
,
sorely
wounded
.
She
trusted
to
the
strength
of
her
Horse
,
so
giuing
him
the
spurres
,
ranne
against
her
enemy
,
incountring
him
so
strongly
with
his
breast
,
that
shée
ouerthrew
them
both
to
the
ground
.
But
the
Pagan
knowing
his
disgrace
,
leapt
aside
,
and
though
weake
and
with
many
wounds
,
setled
himselfe
to
make
his
defence
against
the
Quéene
,
that
nimbler
then
an
Eagle
,
leapt
from
her
horse
after
her
pray
.
Deadly
wounded
was
the
Pagan
,
and
no
maruell
then
,
if
with
euery
blowe
she
make
him
kisse
the
earth
with
his
handes
and
knées
.
Alreadie
were
the
Louers
(
though
different
in
affection
)
rid
of
all
their
enemies
,
and
were
set
to
gaze
on
the
battell
,
when
from
the
top
of
the
mountaine
descended
a
Knight
with
more
brauery
then
the
sun
.
Farefull
it
was
to
heare
the
trampling
noyse
of
his
neighing
Courser
,
wheresoeuer
he
trod
.
He
arriued
at
the
chaire
,
extreamly
abashed
to
sée
all
his
hast
had
not
auailde
him
.
Oh
cowardly
Prince
(
said
hée
)
is
it
possible
thou
hast
shewen
thy selfe
slow
in
thy
Ladies
seruice
?
thou
doest
wrongfully
call
thy selfe
hers
,
being
the
least
in
ayding
her
in
her
greatest
distresse
.
There
was
hee
interrupted
,
hearing
a
horrible
blowe
:
which
was
thus
,
The
Quéen
noting
they
all
looked
on
her
,
iudged
it
weaknesse
longer
to
continue
,
and
therefore
strongly
stretching
her selfe
on
her
left
foote
,
with
both
hands
laid
on
the
Pagans
broken
helme
such
a
blow
,
that
diuiding
his
head
downe
to
the
neck
,
at
one
instant
she
ended
both
his
loues
and
life
.
And
as
if
she
had
done
nothing
,
mounted
into
her
seate
,
and
turned
about
to
thanke
the
Assyrian
for
his
good
helpe
:
whereto
he
answered
.
All
,
and
more
then
this
is
due
to
your
valour
,
(
most
excellent
Knight
)
for
where
yours
and
this
Knights
is
,
little
auailes
mine
.
So
thence
they
went
to
speak
vnto
the
Ladies
in
the
Chariot
,
which
were
Garrofilea
,
and
her
bewtious
daughter
Rosaluyra
,
with
two
other
damzels
their
attendants
,
whose
beautie
made
our
two
Ladies
somwhat
enuie
them
.
Neuer
did
any
Knight
affect
with
more
reason
,
Lindoriano
Prince
of
Nyquea
,
who
was
new
come
.
Well
did
mother
and
daughter
knowe
him
,
and
none
like
him
had
the
Princesse
estéemed
.
From
the
heauens
may
you
receiue
your
deserued
recompence
(
most
mightie
knights
)
for
the
succour
you
lent
me
and
my
daughter
(
said
the
cruell
Garrofilea
:
)
although
considering
the
dutie
by
your selues
due
to
the
valour
of
your
owne
persons
,
in
discharging
it
,
so
the
immortall
powers
long
since
guerdoned
it
,
by
imparting
so
largely
their
matchlesse
gifts
with
you
,
making
you
absolute
in
all
compleate
vertues
:
yet
that
our
ioy
may
be
repleat
,
and
we
know
to
whom
we
rest
bound
,
we
shall
account
it
an
exceeding
fauor
,
and
remaine
debtors
togither
with
the
former
for
the
same
,
if
you
will
relate
your
names
and
states
vnto
vs
.
To
which
,
Archisilora
replied
.
In
more
then
this
(
soueraigne
Quéen
)
doth
this
Knight
and
my selfe
desire
to
fulfill
your
will
.
This
Knight
,
poynting
at
Floraliza
,
is
called
the
Knight
of
Hope
:
and
my selfe
,
of
the
burning
flames
of
Loue
:
we
came
togither
,
and
therefore
know
wee
not
him
,
to
whom
we
are
all
so
much
indebted
.
Yet
more
then
this
must
you
do
at
our
intreaties
,
(
said
the
beautious
Rosaluira
)
and
for
my
sake
vnlace
your
helmes
,
vnlesse
you
will
cancell
the
bonds
of
my
indebted
loue
.
There
is
none
but
trembles
at
that
word
(
diuine
Ladie
)
and
feares
it
will
bee
so
(
aunswered
the
Qeéene
)
and
therefore
for
so
much
as
it
toucheth
me
,
I
wil
loose
no
fauor
I
may
therby
reap
.
Who
shall
dare
do
otherwise
(
said
Floraliza
)
excéeding
ioyfull
thereat
,
thinking
she
spake
with
her
Tynacrian
.
At
once
they
put
off
their
helms
,
and
being
somewhat
heated
by
the
battell
,
there
is
no
beautie
comparable
to
the
two
Ladies
.
Oh
Prince
of
Assyria
,
oh
thou
hast
a
heart
of
stéele
to
resist
this
blowe
!
Many
daies
it
was
since
hee
sawe
her
,
yet
presently
he
acknowledged
her
to
bee
the
soueraigne
of
his
soule
.
Haue
patience
magnanimous
Louer
,
for
gainst
loues
accidents
there
is
no
better
shield
.
So
like
was
the
Qu.
of
Lyra
vnto
the
Prince
Polliphebo
,
that
Garrofileo
assuredly
thought
shee
had
her
sonne
before
her
,
she
leapt
out
of
the
Chariot
with
an
extazie
of
ioy
,
and
embracing
the
Quéene
,
said
.
Oh
my
deare
son
Polliphebo
,
may
it
bee
thou
shouldest
thus
long
be
absent
,
and
not
aduertise
me
of
thy
aduentures
and
happie
successes
,
&
crueltie
more
then
inhumane
it
hath
béen
,
and
were
you
not
son
to
such
a
father
,
I
could
not
beléeue
it
of
any
,
but
knowing
whose
you
be
,
I
am
assured
of
your
naturall
crueltie
,
which
makes
mee
resemble
your
tyrannous
father
.
The
Quéen
did
straight
perceiue
Garrosileas
deceit
,
and
by
her
words
confirmed
the
report
blazoned
of
her
rigors
,
she
told
her
of
it
,
&
who
she
was
,
which
not
a
little
admired
the
beholders
,
and
also
when
they
knew
her
companion
to
be
a
Ladie
,
a
newe
the
Quéen
imbraced
them
,
saying
.
Pardon
(
soueraigne
Ladie
)
my
bolde
intreatie
,
for
iudging
you
to
bée
the
Prince
Polliphebo
my
sonne
,
hath
made
me
commit
this
fault
.
There
hath
béene
none
,
vnlesse
intended
(
mightie
Quéene
)
replied
Archisilora
,
but
rather
it
is
a
fauour
exéeding
mercie
,
which
I
thereby
receiued
.
By
this
the
faithfull
Earle
of
Modica
was
arriued
with
aboue
thrée
hundreth
Knights
,
and
the
Ladies
vnwilling
to
be
stayed
,
craued
leaue
to
depart
.
You
will
not
I
am
sure
so
wrong
vs
(
saide
the
Queene
)
as
to
leaue
vs
absent
of
your
company
.
We
can
do
no
otherwise
(
imperious
Dame
)
said
Floraliza
,
for
the
good
successe
of
the
aduenture
this
Lady
and
I
haue
in
hand
,
consisteth
in
briefe
expedition
.
If
it
be
so
(
heroicke
Ladies
)
and
least
you
should
loose
that
happie
successe
,
I
am
content
to
loose
the
great
content
I
should
reape
by
your
conuersation
:
wherevppon
they
kindly
embraced
and
departed
,
leauing
in
Tynacria
eternal
memorie
of
their
beautie
and
brauery
.
And
whilest
Lindariano
made
his
excuse
,
crauing
pardon
for
his
stay
:
the
beauteous
Floraliza
thus
spake
vnto
Don
Clarisell
.
Pardon
mée
(
sir
Knight
)
for
not
doing
this
before
,
but
let
our
lawfull
and
vnauoyded
businesse
bee
our
sufficient
excuse
,
although
it
néeds
not
be
giuen
to
him
,
that
may
be
assured
all
happie
content
is
wisht
him
.
Words
were
these
that
gaue
new
life
vnto
the
Louer
,
nourishing
it
many
yeares
with
these
words
.
The
Prince
taking
her
by
the
hand
,
saide
.
You
haue
done
mee
mightie
wrong
(
most
sacred
Lady
)
to
intreat
him
with
these
wordes
,
that
onely
desires
to
liue
perpetually
at
your
obedience
.
The
Lady
drewe
away
her
hands
,
not
suffering
him
to
kisse
them
,
but
casting
her
armes
about
his
neck
,
said
.
He
that
hath
shewed
his
to
be
so
worthie
(
heroicke
Knight
)
is
iniuried
to
haue
mine
,
but
his
rather
are
to
be
requested
for
that
sacrifice
.
And
inquiring
for
Forsiana
and
Don
Argante
of
Phenicia
(
for
they
all
loued
one
another
like
brothers
)
she
tooke
her
leaue
of
him
,
refusing
his
companle
,
which
with
his
soule
he
offered
,
alleadging
how
it
behooued
them
to
go
alone
.
And
as
one
that
with
admiration
gazeth
on
the
splendor
of
the
heauenly
Sunne
,
with
his
radiant
beames
illuminating
the
earth
,
and
on
a
suddaine
sées
it
dasht
with
mystie
vapors
of
a
blacke
clowde
,
wherewith
his
light
being
obscured
,
blinds
and
bereaues
the
poore
beholders
of
his
contented
sight
.
Euen
so
thought
the
Princely
Louer
he
was
left
,
though
glad
to
sée
how
gently
his
gentle
Lady
intreated
him
.
Towardes
the
sea
did
the
Ladies
take
their
iourney
,
where
they
found
two
Barkes
without
any
to
guide
them
.
It
was
admirable
,
for
so
soone
as
the
Quéene
entred
in
the
one
to
helpe
the
Lady
in
,
so
swift
flies
not
the
arrow
loosed
from
a
stéele
bow
,
as
of
it selfe
it
lancht
into
the
déepe
.
In
a
minute
it
vanisht
out
of
sight
,
leauing
faire
Floraliza
so
extreame
sorrie
,
that
she
was
about
to
fling
her selfe
into
the
sea
,
considering
what
she
had
lost
.
What
content
canst
thou
hereafter
hope
for
poore
Ladie
(
said
the
afflicted
Dame
)
being
robbed
of
that
good
the
heauens
had
imparted
thée
with
her
companie
?
What
mayest
thou
account
happie
,
hauing
lost
her
swéete
comfortable
conuersation
?
Oh
fortune
,
wouldst
thou
but
waigh
how
little
strength
I
haue
left
mee
by
thy
inconstant
changes
,
thou
wouldst
among
so
many
infortunate
happes
,
mingle
one
fained
pleasure
.
She
shipt
her
horse
in
the
other
barke
,
and
waighing
the
anchors
that
held
it
to
the
shore
,
lying
along
vpon
the
hatches
of
the
same
,
shée
committed
his
gouernment
to
Neptunes
mercie
.
Yet
it
was
not
so
ill
looked
too
,
but
the
enuious
Lupercio
had
taken
charge
of
it
,
who
by
all
possible
meanes
assembled
all
the
mightiest
knights
in
the
Hauen
of
Nyquea
,
to
transport
them
thence
vnto
the
maruellous
Tower
:
for
he
had
alreadie
knowne
,
there
should
bee
a
knight
would
win
Theseus
armor
,
and
his
battell-axe
,
wherewith
the
inchauntment
should
be
ended
:
and
knowing
he
was
an
enemie
procured
to
get
and
bring
these
so
valiant
Knights
on
his
side
,
and
therefore
did
he
guide
Floralizas
Barke
,
who
on
the
fourth
day
of
her
Nauigation
,
met
with
her
brother
Don
Cellindo
,
with
whom
she
fought
a
most
cruell
combat
,
which
for
breuity
is
not
recited
:
but
being
known
for
her
brother
,
he
entred
into
her
Bark
,
and
were
directed
towards
Nyquea
,
méeting
continually
all
their
voyage
on
the
seas
,
infinit
Galleis
and
shippes
,
as
well
Christians
as
Pagans
:
where
beeing
arriued
,
wee
must
leaue
them
a
while
,
to
remember
Rosabell
,
whom
we
haue
long
wronged
with
forgetfulnesse
.
CHAP.
X.
What
happened
to
the
most
valiant
Rosobell
,
departed
from
Grecia
in
the
company
of
a
Ladie
.
WIth
some
gréefe
of
minde
(
faire
Ladies
)
left
wee
Rosabell
,
to
sée
himselfe
absent
from
the
swéete
company
of
his
deare
Oristoldo
,
and
armourlesse
with
the
Damzell
was
he
shipt
in
the
doubtfull
Seas
,
yet
knew
not
whither
:
some
comfort
was
it
to
him
,
séeing
hee
had
not
all
his
armes
,
to
haue
the
sword
that
erst
belonged
to
Hector
.
He
inquired
of
the
Damzell
the
cause
why
with
such
spéede
shee
hasted
his
departure
.
For
none
other
(
sir
knight
)
replied
the
Damzell
,
but
to
see
one
of
the
fairest
Ladies
in
the
greatest
daunger
in
the
world
,
and
knowing
that
onely
in
your
presence
rests
her
remedie
:
and
in
the
least
delay
,
the
greatest
death
that
euer
befell
to
any
,
is
sure
on
her
.
For
know
(
most
valiant
Knight
)
that
in
the
kingdome
of
Tentoria
,
there
is
a
Lady
no
lesse
beautifull
,
then
adorned
with
all
good
quallities
and
graces
of
the
minde
.
Shee
was
and
is
beloued
of
all
her
subiects
,
because
they
know
that
chastitie
&
beautie
holds
in
her
one
equall
degrée
of
soueraigntie
.
Through
the
onely
fame
of
her
perfections
,
with
her
the
mightie
Dardario
fell
in
loue
,
who
was
said
to
be
the
valiantest
Gyant
in
the
vniuerse
.
Hee
with
a
puissant
hoast
came
vnto
her
land
,
though
peaceably
:
with
him
hee
brought
a
sonne
vnknighted
,
for
his
yeares
did
not
allow
it
,
who
became
farre
mightier
then
his
father
.
He
sent
his
Ambassadors
to
our
Quéene
,
to
let
her
know
of
his
comming
and
demaund
,
which
was
to
marrie
her
.
A
thousand
times
was
my
Lady
about
to
stay
her selfe
,
to
auoyde
a
match
so
vnequall
.
She
called
a
Councell
of
her
Nobilitie
:
who
resolued
to
withstand
him
with
fierce
warre
,
by
reason
there
were
many
valiant
knights
that
would
loose
their
liues
to
defend
their
Quéen
and
countries
safetie
:
for
although
they
sawe
the
Gyant
come
with
signes
of
peace
,
yet
doubttng
the
woorst
,
had
gathered
a
great
armie
of
men
,
because
they
would
not
be
suddainly
surprised
.
There
were
many
voyces
among
them
,
that
the
Quéen
should
marrie
him
,
being
Lord
of
al
the
Isles
in
the
Adriaticke
Sea
.
But
in
the
ende
,
most
part
agréed
,
they
should
rather
die
with
honour
in
fielde
,
then
for
feare
suffer
such
a
marriage
.
Eight
daies
respite
had
the
Gyants
giuen
them
for
their
aunswere
.
In
which
time
the
beauteous
Syrinda
commending
her
affaires
vnto
the
Gods
,
and
her
wit
,
she
resolued
on
the
greatest
déed
that
euer
Ladie
did
imagine
.
Shee
acquainted
it
with
her
Captaines
and
Councell
of
warre
,
which
are
the
shiefest
Lords
in
her
land
:
and
this
it
was
.
That
she
would
séeme
to
consent
to
his
desire
,
and
that
she
durst
vndertake
in
the
night
of
her
wedding
day
,
to
giue
the
Gyants
head
vnto
her
Knights
,
who
should
be
in
readinesse
to
issue
vpon
their
enemies
,
whose
vanquishment
would
be
easie
,
being
with
the
Feasts
carelesse
and
vnarmed
.
Almost
all
the
Councell
approoued
my
Ladies
deuise
,
and
praying
the
immortall
Gods
to
giue
her
good
successe
therein
,
they
aduertised
the
Gyants
thereof
,
that
with
extreame
ioy
was
almost
besides
himselfe
.
All
his
subiects
laying
by
their
armes
,
with
gallant
shewes
welcommed
her
answere
.
Two
daies
after
,
the
proude
Dardaria
entred
the
Cittie
with
his
soonne
Abstrusio
,
whom
hee
begot
on
a
strong
Gyantesse
,
and
so
issued
like
his
Parents
.
He
onely
carried
his
bigge
Cemitor
at
his
side
,
accompanied
with
two
Knights
richly
adorned
,
and
himself
in
robes
of
inestimable
valor
,
with
a
triple
crowne
on
his
head
,
woorth
a
kingdome
,
with
Princely
brauerie
was
he
entertained
by
the
dissembling
Syrinda
,
whom
the
fierce
pagan
imbraced
with
the
greatest
content
in
the
world
,
thinking
himselfe
in
heauen
,
séeing
the
Ladies
excéeding
beautie
:
who
with
a
thousand
fained
loue
toyes
inueigled
the
disarmed
Gyant
.
The
desired
night
being
come
,
which
was
eternall
to
the
Pagan
,
and
supper
ended
,
hee
was
most
sumptuously
brought
to
his
bedde
:
where
the
Lady
faining
some
modest
shame
to
be
séene
naked
,
so
long
deferred
her
going
to
bedde
,
that
the
force
of
the
many
meates
and
wine
,
forced
him
into
a
sound
sléepe
.
Hee
neuer
more
awaked
:
for
the
Lady
seeing
her
aduantage
,
drew
foorth
a
sharpe
two
edged
Dagger
,
which
she
thrice
stabbed
in
his
brutish
breast
,
pearcing
his
heart
therewith
.
Now
that
the
couragious
Dame
was
assured
of
his
death
,
she
brauely
cut
off
his
head
,
and
presently
gaue
it
to
those
knights
shée
had
appoynted
to
expect
it
.
They
tooke
it
,
extreamely
ouerioyed
,
and
conueyed
the
Quéene
and
Ladies
out
of
the
Pallace
,
for
feare
of
some
danger
that
might
happen
the
next
day
.
With
great
desire
they
expected
his
comming
,
whereon
scarce
had
the
Sunne
sent
foorth
his
messengers
of
morne
,
when
an
alarme
was
sounded
through
all
the
Citie
:
they
of
the
Campe
without
,
thinking
it
was
in
honour
of
the
Nuptialls
,
replyed
with
all
their
millitary
Instruments
.
In
an
instant
were
aboue
fiftie
thousand
men
Armed
,
whereof
fiue
thousand
assaulted
the
Pallace
,
leauing
none
aliue
that
with
Dardario
came
,
except
his
haughtie
sonne
,
that
hearing
the
noyse
,
ranne
foorth
with
one
of
the
bedde
postes
,
making
such
pittiful
slaughter
that
none
durst
assault
him
.
He
got
some
weapons
of
those
that
were
slaine
,
wherewith
his
déeds
are
incredible
.
But
being
alone
,
and
by
so
many
thousands
assaulted
,
his
death
was
certaine
:
which
the
sturdie
youth
perceiuing
,
got
vnto
the
Camp
:
where
being
come
,
he
found
it
so
disordered
and
so
many
sayle
,
and
the
rest
so
affrighted
,
that
he
could
scant
méete
with
any
that
might
tell
him
the
cause
of
so
great
euil
:
in
the
ende
hee
came
to
knowe
it
with
such
great
griefe
,
as
he
was
about
to
kil
himselfe
:
his
fathers
Armour
he
put
on
,
and
the
first
he
met
guirded
him
his
sword
.
The
fury
that
possest
the
youth
when
he
sawe
his
fathers
head
pearched
on
a
pole
vppon
the
highest
Turret
of
the
Citie
,
cannot
most
(
valiant
Knight
)
be
credited
.
Hée
went
foorth
into
the
fielde
roaring
like
a
Bull
,
and
killing
without
mercy
:
but
his
force
was
to
small
purpose
,
for
all
his
Army
was
discomfited
,
and
the
Quéenes
subiects
behaued
themselues
so
well
,
that
ere
the
day
was
halfe
spent
,
they
had
put
the
better
thrée
parts
of
their
foes
to
the
sword
,
and
gaue
chase
to
the
rest
euen
to
their
shippes
,
wherein
sore
wounded
,
as
many
as
could
imbarke
themselues
,
and
among
them
the
mightie
Abstrutio
,
purposing
with
newe
powers
to
returne
,
and
with
fire
and
sword
to
destroy
our
kingdome
.
In
his
he
arriued
,
where
his
intent
he
presently
put
in
execution
,
not
without
griefe
,
to
sée
that
of
fortie
thousande
men
his
father
had
carried
with
him
,
he
had
returned
backe
againe
scarce
fiue
thousand
.
The
Paganne
spoyles
left
all
our
lande
excéeding
rich
:
and
our
Quéene
with
the
greatest
Honour
that
euer
Lady
obtained
.
Notwithstanding
the
great
tryumphes
made
for
so
happie
victorie
,
yet
would
they
not
liue
carelesse
of
their
safetie
:
but
euery
day
mustred
&
trained
their
souldiers
,
and
strengthning
all
their
garrisons
with
the
best
men
in
the
land
,
because
they
would
not
loose
what
was
obtained
for
want
of
diissipline
,
béeing
assured
the
sonne
would
come
to
reuenge
the
fathers
death
:
whose
body
was
cast
out
for
foode
vnto
the
byrdes
and
beasts
.
But
now
(
Magnanimious
Knight
)
returning
to
our
purpose
,
the
murthered
Gyant
had
in
his
owne
Pallace
my
Ladies
liuely
counterfeite
,
which
he
had
caused
to
be
made
,
when
hee
first
became
enamoured
of
her
.
This
being
left
at
home
,
came
to
his
sonnes
hands
,
which
daily
frequenting
,
and
the
helpe
of
his
tender
yeares
,
with
continuall
consideration
of
the
content
,
which
to
be
beloued
of
so
faire
a
Lady
would
yéelde
:
kindled
such
a
fire
in
his
breast
,
that
he
could
in
nothing
delight
saue
in
contemplation
of
Syrindas
bewtie
,
whose
loue
so
opprest
him
,
as
it
bereft
him
of
his
best
sences
,
and
diminished
his
health
.
He
resolued
to
passe
vnto
Tentoria
,
and
colourably
procure
alone
,
what
his
father
with
so
many
men
had
mist
.
He
was
not
of
shape
and
feature
nothing
so
deformed
as
his
Syre
,
but
certainly
farre
stronger
,
and
higher
he
is
a
handfull
then
any
knight
,
being
no
Giant
.
Arriued
in
my
Ladies
countrey
,
he
brought
in
his
company
eight
Knights
,
his
neare
Allyes
,
of
no
lesse
force
then
himselfe
.
Disguised
he
entred
the
Citie
,
where
the
Quéene
kept
her
Court
,
and
knowing
that
she
vsed
to
walke
abroade
vnto
a
neare
adioyning
Groue
,
he
watcht
his
time
,
and
hauing
opportunitie
one
day
,
followed
her
,
tooke
her
,
and
setting
her
before
him
on
his
horse
,
carried
her
away
,
not
dooing
nor
offering
her
any
discourtesie
,
though
she
had
most
cruelly
slaine
his
father
:
he
tolde
her
his
desire
,
desiring
her
not
to
refuse
his
marriage
,
since
all
the
world
knew
how
much
it
honoured
her
to
doo
it
.
Whereto
she
aunswered
.
If
like
a
good
Knight
(
most
cruell
Abstrusio
)
thou
haddest
procured
my
good
will
,
it
had
not
bene
much
I
had
yéelded
to
thy
request
:
but
since
thou
hast
imployed
thy
force
vpon
a
poore
weake
Lady
,
I
will
rather
bee
my
owne
murtherer
,
then
consent
to
any
such
thing
.
Why
then
(
said
the
louer
)
that
thou
mayest
know
what
assured
confidence
you
may
repose
on
my
strength
,
and
arme
,
I
le
giue
thée
leaue
for
sixe
moneths
space
to
send
and
séeke
about
for
that
Knight
,
whose
Fame
aboue
al
others
shal
memorise
his
déeds
,
to
be
the
greatest
with
whom
hand
to
hand
I
le
Combat
about
thée
:
proouing
,
that
none
but
I
merits
thy
bewtie
:
so
that
if
I
prooue
Conqueror
,
thou
take
mee
for
thy
husband
,
with
willing
and
blythe
minde
:
but
if
I
be
conquered
,
I
vow
and
protest
by
all
I
may
,
to
remit
and
release
any
action
I
may
pretend
of
marriage
towards
thée
:
for
which
cause
,
and
that
the
battle
may
be
effected
,
I
le
set
thée
frée
with
all
pleasure
to
enioy
thy
libertie
,
and
this
because
thou
shalt
not
doubt
I
wil
deny
the
Combat
,
or
violate
my
word
.
Somewhat
pacified
was
the
imprisoned
Ladie
hearing
the
Pagans
offer
,
and
considering
that
was
her
best
,
agreed
thereto
.
Which
gladded
the
Pagans
verie
soule
,
supposing
himselfe
sure
of
the
Lady
,
thinking
none
able
to
take
her
by
that
meanes
from
him
.
While
these
things
past
,
newes
were
thither
brought
of
the
neuer
dying
honor
ye
had
obtained
in
the
Iousts
of
Grecia
,
ending
them
to
your
immortal
glorie
.
Wherevpon
my
Ladie
thought
to
none
safer
then
to
you
,
this
dangerous
aduenture
could
be
recommended
,
because
the
strong
Abstrusio
is
the
valiantest
in
all
those
parts
.
She
put
me
in
trust
with
this
businesse
,
being
from
a
childe
brought
vp
in
her
seruice
,
which
I
promised
to
performe
with
all
diligence
:
and
either
loose
my
life
,
or
let
you
knowe
the
necessitie
wherein
I
left
her
,
trusting
that
a
knight
so
absolute
in
all
excellencies
,
would
be
pitiful
,
lending
his
help
bound
by
lawes
of
knighthood
,
to
a
distressed
Lady
:
and
let
not
my
report
of
the
Gyants
strength
,
put
any
doubt
in
your
vnconquered
brest
:
for
hauing
on
your
part
the
strong
shield
of
Iustice
,
it
wil
be
sufficient
to
giue
you
the
eternal
honor
of
so
glorious
a
Conquest
.
This
is
the
cause
braue
knight
,
that
hath
from
such
remoted
countries
brought
me
to
séeke
you
,
and
consider
whether
my
iourney
be
not
lawful
,
and
your
liberal
offer
iust
.
It
is
(
kind
damzel
)
and
am
much
amazed
at
the
Gyants
tyrannie
(
said
the
Prince
)
to
force
the
Lady
against
her
wil
to
marry
him
:
and
wold
I
were
already
with
him
,
that
(
Lady
)
you
might
know
your
Quéenes
remedie
if
it
lie
in
me
,
is
made
voyde
for
want
of
power
,
and
not
wil
to
hazard
my
person
in
her
seruice
:
and
my
life
I
wil
aduenture
in
any
danger
,
to
right
the
wrong
and
violence
she
doth
sustaine
.
Why
then
braue
knight
(
said
she
)
I
may
goe
merry
,
séeing
you
so
willingly
affected
to
my
businesse
,
and
may
the
Goddes
giue
you
the
due
merits
your
bounteous
care
deserueth
:
and
séeing
that
for
my
Lady
you
must
vndertake
such
a
fight
,
she
sends
you
Armor
and
Horse
conuenient
to
cope
with
such
an
aduersary
.
She
drew
forth
the
Armor
which
were
indéed
as
she
said
,
and
excepting
his
of
Hector
,
he
neuer
sawe
better
:
of
colour
they
were
purple
,
crost
with
sanguine
barres
,
garnished
with
some
flowers
of
rich
glistring
stones
,
which
more
adorned
them
.
The
Gréeke
put
them
on
,
which
fitted
him
as
they
were
made
by
his
measure
.
On
his
shield
was
brauely
figured
the
pictures
of
Iustice
and
Chastitie
embracing
,
and
ouer
their
heads
this
motto
.
Vpon
each
other
both
relies
,
(
Twinnes
)
kil
one
,
the
other
dies
.
This
deuice
greatly
pleased
the
Prince
,
because
it
iumpt
with
his
businesse
.
With
these
armes
was
gallant
Rosabel
armed
in
,
neither
in
these
affaires
nor
the
thought
of
his
hoped
battel
,
forgetting
his
Lyriana
,
whose
absence
not
a
litle
gréeued
him
,
for
none
had
lost
such
happinesse
in
loue
as
he
,
with
so
many
sighes
obtained
,
and
so
his
sorrow
was
tollerable
,
loosing
so
great
good
,
for
none
will
gréeue
at
a
losse
,
if
the
cause
be
not
respected
.
Not
méeting
any
aduenture
worthy
memory
,
he
arriued
at
the
Ile
whereof
Abstrusio
was
King
.
Straight
leapt
he
on
shore
,
mounting
a
mightie
roane
courser
,
which
the
néedy
Dame
had
sent
him
:
then
which
he
neuer
bestridde
a
better
,
his
Bollador
,
excepted
.
The
Damozel
masked
her selfe
,
for
feare
of
being
knowne
by
any
of
those
that
brought
her
away
,
when
the
Princesse
was
stolen
.
They
approched
very
neare
the
Citie
,
where
the
fierce
king
made
his
abode
.
It
was
admirable
,
chiefly
the
Castle
,
where
the
King
kept
his
court
,
which
séemed
inexpugnable
,
both
by
nature
and
scituation
of
the
place
.
About
it
,
were
many
pleasant
Groues
and
Meades
,
where
the
Pagan
often
recreated
himselfe
with
Syrinda
who
by
continuall
conuersing
with
the
Pagan
,
his
valour
and
gallant
disposition
,
had
excéedingly
mollified
her
obduracy
.
And
Lyrgandeo
saith
shee
,
had
repented
her selfe
for
sending
her
damozel
to
séeke
any
by
force
to
plead
her
cause
,
being
to
her
honor
to
take
him
for
her
husband
,
that
was
able
to
protect
both
kingdomes
,
that
vnited
was
one
of
the
mightiest
in
the
world
.
The
like
imagination
had
stirred
the
Gréekes
thoghts
,
thinking
that
he
being
so
far
different
from
the
condition
of
others
,
his
marriage
much
aduanced
her
.
On
this
considered
he
,
along
the
Christal
Current
of
a
bubling
streame
,
when
the
mightie
Abstrusio
walked
on
the
other
side
,
armed
in
strong
plates
of
stéele
,
bare
headed
without
helme
,
to
take
the
coolenesse
of
the
fresh
ayre
:
onely
two
knights
without
armor
,
attended
him
,
bearing
his
:
who
was
horsed
on
a
furious
Courser
,
his
sight
greatly
pleased
the
Prince
,
for
his
damozel
knowing
him
,
told
it
Rosabel
.
At
his
right
hand
rode
the
beautious
Syrinda
,
on
a
milke-white
Palfrey
:
she
was
gallantly
attyred
,
for
being
well
intreated
by
the
king
,
she
by
dooing
the
like
,
did
more
allure
him
,
and
he
lost
nothing
by
vsing
her
in
that
manner
,
forcing
her
to
doo
nothing
against
her
will
,
which
to
his
soueraigne
gentlenesse
,
may
be
attributed
.
Comming
more
neare
the
Lady
,
knew
the
Armor
and
horse
which
she
sent
vnto
the
Knight
shuld
combat
for
her
.
She
was
so
amazed
(
though
his
disposition
greatly
contented
her
)
that
the
stoute
Pagan
noted
it
,
and
demaunding
the
cause
,
halfe
trembling
told
it
.
Oh
Iupiter
(
said
the
Pagan
)
how
doest
thou
shew
thy
immortall
power
to
honour
me
,
sending
him
at
such
time
hither
,
whom
I
heartily
expected
?
Now
shal
you
sée
faire
Lady
,
whether
my
valour
deserue
not
some
estimation
in
thy
brest
,
beeing
so
neare
to
sée
it
by
experience
.
So
daunted
was
the
Lady
,
that
she
could
not
answere
,
reuoluing
many
things
in
her
thoughts
against
her selfe
:
for
if
she
should
stay
the
battel
from
procéeding
,
it
were
to
dishonour
the
knight
,
hauing
sent
for
him
so
far
,
onely
to
that
:
and
if
she
suffered
it
,
then
she
imagined
she
wronged
her
Louer
towards
the
Pagan
:
so
that
she
was
set
betwéen
two
contraries
,
altogither
opposed
against
her
happinesse
,
and
which
shee
might
iudge
the
least
to
lay
hands
on
,
she
knew
not
.
The
hastie
comming
of
the
Gréeke
suffered
her
not
to
chuse
,
for
crossing
the
riuer
ouer
a
bridge
,
brandishing
his
Launce
,
went
towards
the
Louers
that
greatly
admired
his
comely
grace
.
The
Pagan
nothing
doubting
his
hoped
victorie
,
expected
him
in
a
faire
plain
,
ioyning
to
a
thicket
of
tall
Pynes
,
called
the
Groue
of
Aduentures
,
for
neuer
any
entred
it
,
but
found
something
to
try
the
valour
of
his
person
.
The
Gréeke
being
come
to
him
raised
his
Beauer
,
and
saluted
him
thus
.
God
saue
the
valiant
Abstrusio
:
I
thinke
I
shall
not
néede
to
relate
the
cause
of
my
comming
,
because
it
was
with
thy
consent
:
neuerthelesse
,
if
without
battell
thou
wilt
remit
the
sute
thou
doest
pretend
,
thou
shalt
obtaine
a
sure
vnconstant
friend
:
for
I
doubt
not
,
but
thou
knowest
how
it
staines
a
Noble
minde
,
by
force
to
force
a
Ladies
will
,
for
it
neither
belongeth
to
a
good
knight
nor
a
true
Louer
:
yet
for
all
this
,
if
thou
wilt
insist
in
thy
enterprise
,
let
vs
no
longer
deferre
the
combat
,
which
instantly
to
be
done
,
will
bee
too
too
long
.
While
he
spake
,
the
Pagan
stedfastly
gazed
on
him
,
and
iudging
him
of
great
strength
,
because
his
constitution
was
not
much
lesse
then
his
owne
,
and
this
imagination
he
confirmed
,
noting
the
libertie
of
his
words
,
which
he
said
procéeded
of
valour
,
for
others
at
his
sole
sight
,
were
ready
to
tremble
.
So
he
answered
.
In
faith
(
Syr
knight
)
I
sée
no
reason
but
any
thing
should
be
done
to
obtain
your
friendship
,
which
oght
not
be
litle
estéemed
by
him
that
hath
it
.
But
you
sée
if
I
leaue
the
battell
,
it
redounds
to
my
dishonor
:
for
it
will
be
said
,
I
did
it
for
feare
,
which
could
neuer
yet
be
reported
,
since
I
knew
what
armor
ment
:
so
now
to
giue
occasion
of
such
spéech
,
he
wil
not
permit
that
knowes
the
estimation
of
true
honour
,
and
how
it
ought
to
be
embraced
.
So
let
our
battle
be
presently
,
although
I
assure
you
,
more
then
this
,
I
neuer
doubted
the
ende
of
any
:
witnesses
we
shall
néed
none
,
for
my
promise
past
to
this
faire
Princesse
shall
be
sufficient
.
It
is
so
(
replyed
the
Gréek
)
for
since
the
one
must
of
necessitie
sacrifice
his
bloold
in
this
field
,
let
the
suruiuer
be
Conqueror
&
Iudge
to
carrie
away
the
Lady
.
Who
came
to
speake
vnto
the
knight
,
so
amazed
,
that
the
Gréeke
conceiued
the
cause
,
and
quickly
assured
himselfe
thereof
.
It
gladded
him
,
purposing
if
he
vanquisht
,
to
marrie
her
to
the
Pagan
.
Defied
eache
other
had
these
combatants
,
and
sought
for
a
conuenient
place
to
make
the
battell
,
when
from
the
thicket
issued
a
knight
vpon
a
nimble
Coueser
:
he
did
no
more
but
take
viewe
of
the
number
that
was
there
,
and
returned
.
Euery
one
noted
him
,
and
mused
what
he
intended
by
such
haste
.
But
the
desire
the
two
had
of
their
Combat
,
made
them
forget
him
.
They
turned
their
fierce
horses
about
,
whose
successe
an
other
Chapter
must
vnfold
:
for
it
deserueth
much
more
.
CHAP.
XI
.
The
aduenture
that
befell
vnto
the
two
most
mightie
warriors
,
being
in
their
combat
,
and
what
else
happened
.
WIth
a
thousand
amorous
doubtes
,
the
bewteous
Syrinda
expected
the
two
braue
warriors
encounters
,
greatly
fearing
the
Gréeke
,
because
she
sent
for
him
,
and
the
Pagans
successe
,
good
or
badde
,
shee
felt
in
middest
of
her
soule
:
and
eythers
blowes
shee
receiued
on
her
brest
.
So
that
deare
(
Ladies
)
neuer
had
Combattants
a
more
suspitious
Iudge
:
because
she
through
loue
,
pleades
the
merits
of
the
one
:
and
the
Gréekes
worthinesse
,
the
bountie
wherwith
he
vndertooke
her
cause
,
inforced
her
to
defend
him
.
Oh
(
sacred
Damzels
,
Natures
chéefest
bewties
)
lend
me
some
litle
fauour
,
that
I
may
woorthily
relate
the
rarest
single
Combat
fought
vppon
the
earth
:
for
the
one
is
Rosabel
,
of
whom
the
world
alreadie
trembles
:
the
other
,
the
haughtie
Abstrusio
,
mirror
of
the
Pagan
Nations
.
The
nimble
swiftnesse
of
their
horses
,
was
occasion
of
their
quicker
méeting
,
making
more
noyse
in
their
carrier
,
then
Vulcans
forged
fire
ratling
through
the
skies
,
renteth
his
passage
,
flashing
among
the
darkened
Clowdes
.
Big
and
knottie
were
their
Launces
,
but
incountring
with
their
stéeled
shields
,
they
séemed
of
slender
willowes
:
Whose
shiuers
mounted
so
high
,
that
their
sight
gaue
notice
of
that
Combat
aboue
the
fourth
spheare
.
Neither
miscarried
by
the
shocke
,
though
both
warriours
were
assured
of
the
others
strength
.
Amazed
was
the
Pagan
,
séeing
his
aduersary
in
his
saddle
,
for
in
all
his
life
til
then
,
he
neuer
incountred
any
but
he
ouerthrew
him
to
the
hard
ground
.
The
Greeke
drew
foorth
the
Troyan
Hectors
sword
,
glad
to
sée
the
Pagans
valour
.
And
flourishing
it
aloft
with
that
celeritie
he
vsed
in
all
his
hattles
,
let
flie
at
the
Pagan
:
who
turned
to
warde
it
,
yet
his
diligence
preuailed
not
,
for
he
had
not
scarce
offered
his
defence
,
when
the
skilful
Gréeke
redoubled
the
strength
of
his
proffered
blowe
,
and
brauely
discharged
it
on
his
aduersaries
shielde
,
it
bootes
not
to
be
of
fine
tempered
stéele
,
for
all
it
reached
was
throwne
to
the
grassy
plaine
.
Sometimes
would
they
proffer
aduantages
,
as
in
a
schoole
of
Fence
is
accustomed
,
which
would
redownd
vnto
the
offerers
disaduantage
,
as
now
it
befel
the
Gréek
Prince
.
For
spurring
his
horse
,
he
wold
haue
giuen
the
Sarracen
another
blow
before
he
setled
himselfe
:
he
did
so
,
but
the
vnbrideled
fury
of
the
horse
,
most
fiercely
ranne
beyond
the
Pagan
,
whose
course
Rosabell
on
a
sudden
staying
,
the
plaine
being
wet
,
his
hinder
féete
slipt
,
so
that
both
headlong
stumbled
downe
.
Galtenor
saith
the
Gréeke
,
lost
not
his
saddle
:
but
Lirgandeo
affirmeth
it
:
adding
,
that
his
fall
was
the
cause
he
performed
one
of
his
vsual
acts
:
for
being
on
his
féete
,
in
a
drie
place
he
awaited
.
The
Pagan
comming
,
that
eagerly
ranne
to
ouerthrow
him
:
his
Horse
he
would
not
kil
,
but
méeting
brest
with
brest
,
with
no
lesse
force
then
Mars
himselfe
,
hée
made
both
Maister
and
horse
recoyle
backe
in
such
a
maze
,
that
hee
had
time
to
follow
the
Pagan
,
and
cast
his
armes
about
him
.
He
was
so
quicke
in
performing
it
,
that
he
had
almost
pitcht
the
Gyant
on
his
head
.
So
Syrindas
Louer
fearing
some
euill
successe
,
was
inforced
to
do
the
like
,
and
shaking
the
stirropes
from
his
féet
,
suffred
the
Greeke
to
pull
him
off
:
who
so
mightily
snatcht
him
from
his
seate
,
that
he
tumbled
him
on
the
ground
:
but
closer
doth
not
the
Iuie
incompasse
about
a
mosse
begrowne
Tower
,
then
the
Pagan
embraced
the
Brittanicke
youth
,
so
that
both
fell
grouelling
on
the
earth
,
where
rising
,
they
beganne
a
most
gallant
wrastle
,
vsing
so
many
slights
and
trickes
,
that
the
God
of
battelles
could
no
more
desire
.
And
so
their
wrastle
falling
out
at
the
beginning
of
their
fight
,
it
longer
continued
,
either
procuring
some
aduantage
to
get
ground
of
his
aduersarie
.
Neuer
were
they
in
more
danger
then
now
.
Along
while
striued
they
thus
,
till
wearie
of
grappling
,
wresting
foorth
their
armes
,
flung
themselues
strongly
the
one
from
the
other
,
with
such
admiration
of
those
that
beheld
them
,
as
they
beléeued
not
what
they
saw
.
Highly
did
the
Ladie
estéeme
the
Gréeke
,
séeing
him
so
brauely
maintaine
himselfe
against
him
that
was
famoused
to
bee
the
valiantest
in
all
the
Adriatricke
Iles
,
who
on
his
owne
behalfe
greatly
misdoubted
,
iudging
his
aduersitie
the
mightiest
in
the
world
.
Now
kéepe
they
no
order
,
nor
nothing
procure
they
more
then
death
,
or
eternall
honour
by
conquest
of
his
aduersarie
.
One
of
the
worldes
best
swords
was
the
Gréekes
,
being
at
Venus
instant
request
tempered
for
the
Troian
,
wherefore
he
neuer
strooke
blow
but
it
fetcht
blood
,
cut
armor
and
flesh
.
And
he
himselfe
receiued
them
nothing
inferior
,
and
though
they
drew
blood
through
the
defence
of
his
armour
and
dexteritie
,
yet
they
brused
his
flesh
in
gréeuous
manner
.
The
Pagan
at
this
time
assaulted
his
aduersarie
,
thinking
with
that
blow
to
assure
the
victorie
.
But
Trebatios
kinsman
,
that
was
in
all
things
his
superior
,
by
stepping
aside
auoyded
it
,
letting
him
fiercely
passe
on
,
so
turning
after
him
,
the
Gréeke
discharged
his
rage
on
the
others
waste
,
in
two
he
had
cleft
him
,
had
he
giuen
the
blow
with
good
ayme
,
yet
it
put
the
Pagan
in
great
paine
:
who
for
all
that
,
recouering
himselfe
,
at
once
confronted
each
other
:
most
mightie
were
the
blowes
that
fell
on
their
helmes
,
either
drew
his
sword
besméered
with
the
others
blood
,
and
with
the
force
of
the
stroke
they
set
their
hands
on
the
earth
.
The
Gréeke
did
first
rise
,
being
longer
winded
,
and
ere
his
foe
was
setled
in
his
broken
shielde
,
he
gaue
him
such
a
blowe
,
that
cutting
a
great
péece
off
it
,
descended
on
the
shoulder
,
where
it
lighted
so
heauily
,
that
his
knées
were
forced
to
the
ground
:
Close
he
would
,
thinking
to
ouerthrow
the
Pagan
.
But
this
bolde
attempt
had
like
to
haue
cost
him
his
life
:
for
the
fierce
Abstrutio
being
verie
nimble
,
and
séeing
him
come
vnaduisedly
,
he
set
his
sword
betwéene
him
,
on
which
the
Prince
cunning
,
felt
the
point
in
his
fleshe
,
whereat
staying
,
he
gaue
backwards
,
else
it
had
pierced
a
passage
for
his
life
.
Héere
mist
he
his
good
Armor
,
attributing
the
fights
continuance
vnto
the
want
of
them
.
He
turned
fiercer
then
a
sauadge
Beare
vpon
the
Pagan
,
who
by
that
was
on
foote
,
laying
on
him
so
many
mortall
blowes
,
that
quickly
some
aduantage
was
discerned
on
Rosabels
side
:
but
it
was
such
as
often
his
aduersary
hazarded
his
hopes
of
conquest
:
for
the
Pagan
séeing
how
it
concerned
him
,
did
from
his
wounds
drawe
strength
,
both
to
defend
and
offend
:
which
yet
made
the
euent
of
the
battle
séem
doubtfull
:
wherin
the
warriors
were
eager
and
gréedie
one
of
the
others
ouerthrowe
,
that
they
spied
not
till
they
were
almost
surprised
,
who
issued
out
of
the
Groue
:
they
were
foure
mightie
deformed
Gyants
,
with
aboue
an
hundreth
knights
,
who
knowing
the
Pagan
,
pursued
him
for
reuenge
,
by
reason
of
their
fathers
death
,
by
his
,
which
they
deferred
til
they
might
take
him
at
some
aduantage
from
his
Court.
Well
did
the
haughtie
Gréeke
guesse
at
their
intent
,
noting
the
manner
of
their
comming
:
wherefore
vsing
his
accustomed
magnanimitie
,
said
to
Abstrusio
.
Leaue
we
our
battle
in
this
estate
sir
knight
,
for
I
repose
such
trust
in
your
person
,
as
when
farther
occasion
shall
permit
,
you
wil
ende
it
:
and
now
procure
we
to
defend
the
Princesse
from
these
knights
,
whose
hastie
comming
séemes
not
for
peace
.
It
cannot
be
exprest
how
the
Princes
words
gladded
the
Pagan
,
who
replied
.
Your
pleasure
be
fulfilled
(
Sir
knight
)
for
henceforth
I
yéeld
to
you
the
victorie
of
this
battle
,
because
farre
more
your
magnanimious
bountie
deserueth
.
So
both
recounted
on
their
horses
.
For
the
Gyants
arriuall
brake
off
their
spéeches
.
The
knights
were
attired
after
the
Parthian
maner
,
with
bowes
and
arrowes
,
which
like
a
shower
of
raine
they
let
flie
at
the
two
knights
,
who
felt
some
of
them
in
their
flesh
through
their
armor
.
To
shunne
this
furie
,
the
Lady
was
forced
to
leape
from
her
Palfray
,
which
she
had
no
sooner
done
,
but
one
of
the
Gyants
with
twentie
Knights
tooke
her
vp
,
and
in
great
haste
spurred
away
.
At
the
outcries
she
made
,
her
Louer
sawe
her
,
and
considering
his
losse
,
loosing
her
,
said
.
Now
(
most
haughtie
Knight
)
must
you
extend
the
vtmost
of
your
valour
,
against
these
vilde
villaines
,
whilest
I
pursue
the
robber
of
my
ioy
,
for
without
her
I
desire
no
life
.
Do
so
(
braue
Knight
)
replied
the
Gréeke
,
for
it
is
reason
you
should
.
And
I
by
shedding
my
hearts
deare
blood
,
shall
but
satisfie
my
bounden
dutie
due
to
the
Lady
.
Away
like
the
winde
in
swiftnesse
departed
the
Pagan
,
leauing
Rosabell
in
the
greatest
perill
in
the
world
:
but
he
was
borne
to
indure
them
,
and
incouraging
himselfe
being
alone
,
couragiously
he
thrust
his
horse
among
that
treacherous
people
.
Neuer
did
Reaper
in
Haruest
season
,
with
more
desire
enter
his
sharpe
sickle
in
the
yallow
ripe
corne
,
then
with
furie
Lyrianas
Louer
prest
among
those
Knights
,
bereauing
som
of
armes
,
some
of
liues
,
and
others
wounded
to
the
death
,
some
hée
cleft
downe
right
,
and
some
hee
parted
at
the
waste
in
two
:
thirtie
Knights
had
the
Gréeke
slaine
,
and
wounded
many
,
ere
any
of
the
Gyants
could
at
full
giue
him
one
blow
;
so
at
length
one
of
them
preased
to
him
,
egerly
to
execute
his
wrath
:
but
in
the
incounter
,
he
opposed
himselfe
with
death
.
For
although
he
wounded
the
Gréeke
on
the
shoulder
,
yet
he
not
respecting
the
others
blowes
,
he
cast
his
shield
at
his
backe
,
and
though
vnaduisedly
he
spurred
against
the
Gyant
with
his
sword
raised
in
both
hands
,
it
fell
on
his
thicke
helme
,
which
vnable
to
resist
,
it
was
with
the
head
cleft
in
the
middest
to
the
necke
,
felling
him
downe
at
his
horse
féete
.
So
great
was
the
Ire
that
possest
the
Knights
,
séeing
their
Gyant
slaine
,
that
vnder
him
they
slew
the
Gréekes
horse
.
Now
hee
was
in
no
lesse
daunger
then
of
his
life
:
for
being
on
foote
,
they
all
ranne
to
ouerturne
him
with
their
horses
:
some
defence
found
hee
behinde
the
heape
of
dead
Knights
,
which
was
nothing
,
had
not
fortune
hither
brought
the
Tynacrian
Polliphebo
,
flower
of
Chiualrie
:
who
hauing
past
many
storms
in
the
seas
,
the
heauens
for
eithers
good
,
did
cast
him
on
that
shore
,
directing
him
thither
at
such
time
as
he
might
succor
his
cousin
,
who
like
Mars
himselfe
behaued
him
,
for
hauing
slaine
another
of
the
suruiuing
Gyants
horses
,
in
the
fall
he
tooke
from
him
an
Iron
Mace
that
hung
at
the
saddle
bowe
,
the
which
at
that
instant
serued
him
better
then
his
sword
,
for
with
it
hee
reached
more
out
at
length
.
The
Tynacrian
blest
himselfe
to
sée
a
knight
of
such
force
:
he
iudged
him
to
be
a
Gréeke
,
for
in
them
consisted
the
worldes
strength
:
he
said
neuer
a
word
,
but
with
his
launce
aboue
hand
,
like
a
fierce
comet
entred
among
them
,
killing
aboue
tenne
before
he
brake
it
.
Hee
would
néeds
rid
the
Knight
from
the
Gyant
that
remained
on
horsebacke
:
so
drawing
foorth
his
sword
,
went
to
him
,
and
taking
it
twixt
both
handes
,
raised
himselfe
on
his
stirropes
,
and
finding
the
Gyant
carelesse
of
him
,
executed
the
brauest
blow
that
in
all
that
day
was
giuen
(
for
he
discharged
his
sword
on
his
middle
,
higher
hee
could
not
reach
)
in
so
braue
a
manner
,
that
from
thence
downward
hee
left
on
horsebacke
,
tumbling
the
other
halfe
at
Rosabels
féete
,
that
with
the
noyse
of
the
fall
turned
about
,
and
séeing
a
déed
so
extraordinarie
,
could
not
but
a
lowde
say
thus
.
Oh
mightie
Iupiter
,
what
vnmatcht
incomparable
strength
is
this
?
He
looked
on
his
deuise
,
yet
knew
it
not
,
for
he
had
neuer
before
seene
it
:
but
desirous
to
let
him
sée
what
he
beléeued
,
stept
with
his
left
foote
forward
,
closed
with
the
Gyant
that
vnmercifully
laide
on
him
,
and
strongly
firming
himselfe
on
the
ground
,
with
both
hands
discharged
his
sword
on
his
shoulder
,
which
effected
such
a
blowe
,
as
it
was
doubted
whether
of
the
two
the
God
of
warre
inured
:
for
all
that
part
downe
to
his
legges
he
cut
away
:
and
like
an
Eagle
leapt
on
a
horse
that
was
neare
him
.
Neither
of
the
kinsmen
spake
to
the
other
,
leauing
it
till
better
opportunie
,
but
thrust
themselues
among
that
miserable
rowte
,
&
greeued
they
were
so
fewe
whereon
to
shewe
their
valour
.
In
lesse
then
an
houre
were
the
two
warriours
left
alone
,
yet
mought
it
well
bee
said
,
in
them
consisted
the
most
part
of
humane
power
.
Togither
they
put
off
their
helmes
,
discouering
their
beautie
admired
,
able
to
haue
slaine
Apollos
in
his
glorie
.
They
were
almost
of
one
age
,
so
Rosabell
first
spake
:
Most
mightie
knight
,
the
best
that
euer
mine
eyes
beheld
,
make
me
meritorious
,
to
know
to
whom
I
am
bound
for
my
life
:
for
to
your
happie
comming
,
when
I
accounted
it
lost
,
must
I
attribute
my
now
enioying
it
.
Whereto
the
Tynacrian
answered
.
Excellent
and
most
renowned
warriour
,
there
was
so
little
néede
of
my
helpe
in
presence
of
your
valour
,
as
I
desire
no
thankes
for
any
thing
done
,
being
solely
due
to
the
strength
of
your
arme
:
for
if
I
presumed
to
the
attempt
of
any
déede
,
it
was
onely
to
haue
the
fruition
of
your
swéete
presence
,
which
bindes
me
to
tell
you
who
I
am
.
Although
there
want
in
mee
sufficient
merits
to
equall
me
in
valour
,
to
deserue
the
name
of
brother
to
the
Emperour
Alphebo
,
&
Rosicler
the
most
glorious
knight
of
Cupid
:
I
am
Polliphebo
of
Tyuaria
,
sonne
to
Quéene
Garrofileo
,
and
the
Emperour
Trebatio
,
and
I
arriued
at
Greece
,
with
desire
to
make
my selfe
knowne
vnto
my
Lord
the
Emperour
,
though
I
am
assured
he
is
displeased
with
my
cruell
mother
.
The
ioy
cannot
be
expressed
,
which
Rosabell
conceiued
,
séeing
him
whose
fame
had
filled
the
earth
with
immortall
honour
.
He
embraced
him
with
these
words
.
In
faith
(
heroicke
Prince
)
I
may
hereafter
thinke
my selfe
the
happiest
knight
aliue
,
throgh
the
knowledge
of
such
an
vncle
:
for
know
(
though
my
déeds
deserue
it
not
)
I
am
your
cousin
Rosabell
,
of
great
Brittaine
,
sonne
to
Rosicler
,
and
the
Princesse
Oliua
,
and
he
that
nothing
more
desired
then
to
know
you
.
With
excéeding
content
the
Tynacrian
embraced
him
.
Oh
vnexpected
happinesse
,
is
it
possible
such
goodnesse
was
in
a
land
so
remote
,
reserued
for
me
?
what
may
I
hope
for
that
will
not
befall
me
,
since
fortune
hath
so
luckily
begunne
my
good
,
acquainting
mee
with
one
of
the
puissant
Emperour
Trebatios
kinsmen
?
I
doo
protest
(
most
excellent
Prince
)
this
day
shall
so
be
inprest
within
my
memorie
,
that
first
euery
vytall
power
shall
abandon
their
naturall
nation
,
ere
I
will
forget
the
remembrance
of
this
present
content
,
caused
by
the
knowledge
of
so
warlike
a
cousin
:
&
be
assured
(
deare
Rosabel
)
that
séeing
you
are
the
first
I
haue
knowne
of
my
kindred
,
so
you
shall
alwaies
be
in
all
things
:
for
I
will
neuer
obey
any
with
more
willingnesse
.
He
performed
it
better
then
he
spake
it
,
for
neuer
cousins
loued
one
an
other
more
,
nor
Rosabell
estéemed
none
of
his
Vncles
as
hee
did
she
Tynacrian
.
Quickly
did
Fortune
or
Nabatos
power
,
(
through
the
Dacians
intercession
,
whom
hee
accounted
as
his
child
)
separated
them
:
for
the
Gréek
telling
his
cousin
why
he
came
from
Greece
,
and
the
necessitie
Abstrusio
might
be
in
,
forced
them
as
quicke
as
any
thought
to
séeke
the
Louers
.
but
being
ouertaken
by
the
nights
approach
,
and
they
following
their
haste
,
lost
one
another
in
the
wood
,
which
so
gréeued
either
of
them
,
as
they
were
readie
for
gréefe
to
yéeld
their selues
:
and
surely
they
had
fallen
into
some
daunger
,
(
for
they
had
ingendred
the
greatest
affection
that
can
be
imagined
)
had
not
the
wise
man
comforted
them
,
alleadging
how
néedfull
their
parting
was
.
So
he
returned
the
Tynacrian
to
his
damzell
,
and
launching
his
Barke
into
the
déepe
seas
,
wée
leaue
him
,
returning
to
the
Gréeke
.
CHAP.
XII
.
How
Rosabell
met
with
Abstrusio
,
fighting
with
them
that
had
stolen
his
Ladie
.
How
hee
ayded
him
:
and
after
,
how
he
suffered
shipwracke
on
the
seas
.
CIth
some
comfort
giuen
by
the
wise
man
,
did
Rosabel
Prince
of
great
Brittaine
hast
his
iourney
,
ioying
in
the
knowledge
of
the
Tynacrian
prince
his
Vncle
:
G
thousand
thankes
gaue
he
the
heauens
,
for
beeing
allied
to
kinsmen
of
such
might
.
Till
midnight
did
he
gallope
séeking
for
Abstrusio
,
wishing
in
heart
he
might
arriue
in
good
time
to
lend
him
his
aide
:
herein
would
Fortune
séeme
to
fauor
him
,
for
euen
when
faire
Endyminos
loue
shined
fairest
,
then
heard
he
a
noyse
of
blowes
and
armor
clashing
.
Lighter
then
a
young
wanton
Goate
,
spurred
hee
thitherward
,
and
entring
into
a
spacious
field
,
hee
sawe
Syrindas
mightie
Louer
,
like
a
new
Mars
among
his
aduerse
Knights
.
Hée
stoode
a
while
gazing
on
him
,
glad
to
sée
such
haughtie
strength
,
and
iudged
him
woorthie
of
the
Ladies
brauerie
.
He
assayled
them
saying
.
To
them
,
to
them
braue
Knight
,
for
their
owne
weaknesse
shall
heere
confound
them
.
The
Gréekes
couragious
words
did
greatly
incourage
him
,
whom
knowing
,
he
humbled
himselfe
for
his
good
helpe
:
the
which
hee
not
a
little
néeded
,
for
at
that
instant
aboue
two
hundreth
knights
vnder
the
leading
of
a
Captaine
Gyant
,
came
marching
downe
along
the
fielde
against
the
Pagan
:
this
Gyant
was
king
and
Lord
ouer
them
all
:
the
furie
which
they
broght
,
made
the
Greke
feare
the
loosing
of
the
Lady
,
whom
he
intreated
séeing
her
on
foote
,
to
get
vp
to
the
toppe
of
the
hil
,
and
hid
her selfe
among
the
trées
,
whither
hee
would
quickly
followe
her
.
She
did
so
:
kindly
requesting
the
Gréeke
to
looke
vnto
the
safetie
of
Abstrusio
.
It
gréeued
him
not
to
heare
her
tender
spéech
,
purposing
to
marrie
them
if
he
could
.
Then
like
a
thunderbolt
hee
turned
on
his
enemies
:
and
with
Abstrusio
ranged
vp
and
downe
among
them
,
dyed
to
the
chinne
in
aduerse
blood
,
and
thogh
the
Pagan
were
somewhat
wearie
with
the
many
battelles
of
that
day
,
yet
the
sight
of
the
Gréekes
braue
déedes
,
so
animated
his
fainting
heart
,
that
hee
forgot
his
wounds
,
and
their
paine
.
Such
miserable
destruction
on
the
hard
rypened
corne
,
makes
not
the
ouerflowing
of
an
vnstayed
current
passing
his
limits
,
as
the
two
warriours
on
those
coward
knights
,
giuing
no
blow
in
vaine
,
but
slew
outright
,
or
for
euer
maimed
:
which
it
behooued
them
so
to
do
,
beeing
onely
two
,
and
their
enemies
so
many
.
Followe
mee
braue
knight
,
(
said
the
Gréeke
)
for
ere
we
part
from
hence
,
I
vow
to
be
reuenged
on
these
base
villaines
.
Do
what
you
will
(
most
mightie
warriour
)
answered
he
,
for
I
le
obey
.
His
shield
he
cast
at
his
backe
,
and
tooke
his
sword
twixt
both
handes
,
beginning
to
execute
such
déedes
as
Mars
would
not
attempt
.
More
feared
was
not
Hercules
among
the
Centaures
,
then
Rosabell
of
his
enemies
,
that
beating
them
downe
on
euery
side
,
at
length
he
metwith
the
Gyant
that
stole
the
Ladie
,
whom
he
assailed
with
a
terrible
blowe
,
and
past
on
,
where
the
Pagan
stayed
him
till
he
returned
,
when
with
both
handes
hee
discharged
his
sword
on
his
thicke
helme
,
whereon
the
famous
Troyans
blade
finding
no
resistance
,
made
his
head
a
good
way
to
skip
from
his
neck
.
This
pleased
him
not
,
so
that
aboue
tenne
lost
their
liues
in
the
conflict
:
for
repairing
thither
,
it
was
as
much
as
to
be
ledde
to
the
slaughter
house
.
By
this
,
the
Larke
the
mornings
Herauld
,
mounting
into
the
loftie
ayrie
skies
,
beganne
to
sing
the
daies
approach
,
welcomming
bright
Phoebus
to
the
East
,
when
the
two
warriours
like
two
firie
meteors
of
heauens
consuming
wrath
,
ranging
about
the
battell
,
encountred
in
the
ende
(
wearie
of
killing
)
with
the
chiefe
and
sole
suruyor
of
the
Gyants
,
who
roring
like
a
Lyon
for
his
pray
,
séeking
them
,
met
,
and
with
them
his
death
:
for
stepping
betwéene
them
,
with
a
heauie
Iron
mace
thought
to
reuenge
himselfe
at
two
blowes
.
It
fell
out
otherwise
,
for
the
furious
Gréeke
with
one
stroke
cut
away
halfe
his
shield
,
and
sorely
wounded
him
.
Heere
did
Abstrusio
brauely
second
him
,
though
it
cost
him
deare
,
for
thrusting
himselfe
vnder
the
Gyants
armes
,
although
hee
thrust
a
handfull
of
his
sword
in
the
side
of
his
brest
,
yet
did
the
Gyant
execute
his
blowe
,
discharging
it
on
the
top
of
his
helme
,
so
fearcely
,
that
sencelesse
it
strooke
him
along
vppon
his
horse
.
At
the
noyse
the
Gréeke
turned
about
,
and
thinking
his
companion
dead
,
no
Hyrcanian
furie
may
be
compared
to
him
.
With
more
eagernesse
furiously
flies
not
the
lowring
Eagle
against
the
spoiler
of
his
nest
,
as
the
Gréeke
to
be
reuenged
.
Againe
would
the
Gyant
raise
his
Mace
,
when
with
incomparable
strength
with
one
blowe
did
Rosabell
throw
downe
his
armes
and
club
:
and
with
a
thrust
going
to
runne
through
the
Gyant
,
he
turned
aside
,
making
the
Gréeke
strike
his
head
against
his
brest
,
with
more
strength
he
embraced
him
,
then
Hercules
,
when
twixt
his
hands
he
crusht
to
death
two
serpents
:
yet
it
auailed
him
not
,
wanting
one
arme
:
for
the
Gréeke
drawing
foorth
his
dagger
,
terminated
that
warre
with
two
cruell
stabbes
.
Dead
tumbled
downe
one
of
the
mightiest
Gyans
of
all
those
Isles
,
whose
father
lost
his
life
by
the
hand
of
the
great
Dardario
,
&
the
sonne
procuring
his
iust
reuenge
,
sacrificed
his
blood
with
honour
,
being
bereft
by
the
Gréek
Prince
:
who
fearing
to
léese
Abstrusio
,
did
execute
more
then
humane
deeds
.
Better
was
not
the
Hesperian
fruite
kept
,
before
Alcydes
spoyled
it
,
then
Rosabell
defended
the
sounded
Pagan
,
offending
his
enemies
on
all
parts
so
lamentably
,
that
woe
was
to
him
that
approached
to
trie
the
effect
of
his
hands
:
euen
as
one
awaked
from
a
déepe
slumper
,
so
amazedly
the
Pagan
raised
himselfe
,
and
remembring
the
state
wherein
hee
was
,
and
what
the
Gréeke
had
done
for
him
,
said
to
himselfe
.
Oh
Iupiter
,
let
me
liue
,
that
I
may
gratifie
this
knight
,
what
his
déeds
on
my
behalfe
haue
deserued
.
The
furious
brauenesse
wherewith
he
behaued
himselfe
,
so
animated
the
stout
Louer
,
that
as
if
but
then
the
warre
beganne
,
he
beganne
to
turne
himselfe
among
them
,
to
the
deare
cost
of
many
liues
.
So
Rosabell
spurring
his
horse
away
,
said
.
Follow
me
knight
,
for
our
fighting
now
is
to
no
more
purpose
,
the
drawing
of
the
mornings
brightnesse
comming
on
so
fast
,
may
make
vs
loose
the
Ladie
.
The
Pagan
followed
him
,
for
whom
the
Gréeke
hewed
out
such
ample
passage
,
as
he
could
reach
to
effect
no
blow
.
They
galloped
through
the
thickest
of
the
troupes
,
leauing
behinde
them
the
cruellest
slaughter
that
euer
was
done
by
two
knights
.
They
arriued
to
the
hill
where
the
Lady
was
,
there
they
dismounted
to
speake
to
her
:
who
full
of
ioy
(
guided
by
Loue
)
embraced
the
Pagan
,
thanking
him
for
his
kinde
carefull
rescue
.
She
on
the
instant
perceiued
her
committed
error
,
but
could
not
salue
it
:
for
Lyrianas
skilfull
Louer
,
straight
iudged
the
cause
,
and
being
glad
thereof
,
knowing
the
Pagans
will
,
and
considering
of
the
signes
which
the
Ladie
had
showen
of
her
affection
towardes
him
,
saide
to
trie
what
would
come
of
it
.
Now
is
the
time
(
sir
knight
)
to
end
our
former
battell
,
that
I
may
right
the
Ladie
which
hath
called
me
from
so
farre
countries
.
Both
Louers
were
mooued
by
the
Gréekes
wordse
,
but
passing
that
fitte
,
and
waighing
what
he
had
done
,
Abstrusio
thus
replied
.
Oh
Ioue
forfende
(
braue
Knight
)
that
séeing
you
haue
so
often
saued
my
life
this
day
,
I
should
now
imploy
it
against
your
seruice
.
The
glorie
and
victorie
of
the
fight
is
yours
:
and
more
then
it
deserues
your
valor
,
which
the
heauens
haue
imparted
you
:
and
though
it
bee
more
then
hell
for
me
to
liue
without
this
soueraigne
Ladie
,
so
I
may
séeme
gratefull
to
your
deseruings
,
my selfe
shall
force
my selfe
to
forgoe
this
happinesse
,
which
is
the
onely
nourisher
of
my
forlorne
life
.
Woorthie
the
honour
of
your
high
merits
(
excellent
knight
)
hath
this
your
answere
béene
(
said
Rosabell
)
and
I
doe
in
heart
wish
my
faint
woorthes
were
now
equal
to
my
will
,
that
I
might
(
were
it
but
in
part
)
pay
the
great
bonds
your
liberall
bountie
hath
bound
me
in
:
and
since
this
Ladie
is
now
infranchised
and
frée
,
I
am
readie
(
as
I
promised
her
Damzell
)
to
conduct
her
to
her
kingdome
,
or
where
else
she
please
.
Whereto
she
spake
.
Euer
since
(
sir
knight
)
my
fortunes
made
mee
néed
your
helpe
,
I
put
my
honour
in
your
hands
,
and
so
I
am
sure
you
wil
(
considering
my
necessitie
)
protect
it
,
in
liew
whereof
,
I
vow
obedience
to
all
your
commaunds
.
It
fittes
so
ill
(
faire
Syrinda
)
with
my
conditions
,
(
spake
the
Gréeke
)
to
guard
Ladies
,
as
the
experience
I
haue
of
my
owne
misfortunes
,
enforceth
mee
refuse
this
charge
,
leauing
it
in
the
hands
of
this
mightie
knight
,
protesting
,
that
if
I
had
a
sister
,
and
with
her
many
kingdomes
,
I
would
commit
her
to
none
other
.
And
séeing
you
haue
so
plainly
heard
my
will
,
I
expect
your
reply
according
to
yours
,
that
hereafter
I
may
serue
Ladies
after
a
new
manner
.
I
knowe
not
whether
of
the
two
were
more
ioyed
with
the
Princes
words
,
but
the
Ladie
with
the
accustomed
bashfulnesse
in
such
cases
,
thus
replied
.
It
well
appeares
(
sir
knight
)
you
would
by
all
good
waies
procure
my
good
will
to
accomplish
yours
.
But
that
you
may
sée
,
there
is
in
me
no
lesse
acknowledgement
of
your
deserts
,
then
in
this
knight
,
for
what
on
my
behalfe
you
haue
performed
,
I
once
againe
submit
my selfe
to
your
order
,
to
dispose
of
him
at
your
content
,
assured
that
a
knight
of
your
worth
,
wil
regard
my
pure
honour
as
your
owne
:
for
hauing
put
my selfe
in
your
hands
,
the
lawes
of
knighthood
binds
mée
to
it
.
The
Gréeke
did
highly
(
as
reason
would
)
estéeme
what
the
Ladie
did
,
and
vnwilling
to
deferre
the
happie
content
which
the
Pagan
might
receiue
,
did
presently
espouse
them
on
the
top
of
that
hill
,
with
more
ioy
then
if
they
were
in
their
rich
royall
pallace
.
Witnesses
they
did
not
want
,
for
at
the
contract
there
were
present
,
the
beauteous
Nimphes
Oreades
and
Hamadryades
,
with
many
hairie
Siluan
Gods
.
The
Gréeke
by
telling
them
who
hee
was
,
did
very
much
please
the
new
betrothed
couple
.
There
they
past
away
the
remnant
of
the
night
in
pleasant
chat
,
for
the
Pagan
with
gladnesse
felt
not
his
wounds
,
and
the
Gréeke
not
willing
to
disturbe
their
content
,
dissembled
his
own
.
But
when
Apollos
light
expelled
Cynthias
darknesse
from
the
heauen
,
all
thrée
tooke
their
next
way
to
the
Cittie
,
where
hearing
what
had
befallen
,
they
had
armed
aboue
twentie
thousand
men
,
the
which
seuerall
waies
diuided
in
many
troupes
went
to
séeke
their
king
.
Many
of
them
they
met
,
that
greatly
reioyced
séeing
him
well
,
who
gaue
order
for
the
recalling
of
the
rest
backe
againe
,
which
was
so
well
followed
,
that
before
noone
they
all
returned
.
In
honour
of
the
Nuptials
,
throughout
the
Cittie
and
all
the
Kingdome
,
many
triumphs
and
Iousts
were
ordained
:
therein
the
Gréeke
shewed
the
incomparable
valor
of
his
person
.
Hee
continued
there
in
the
cure
of
his
wounds
aboue
a
month
,
so
tendred
and
honored
,
as
in
Greece
he
could
be
no
more
.
So
thankfull
did
the
Ladie
shew
her selfe
by
her
tender
care
and
carefull
attendance
,
that
the
Greeke
accounted
all
his
paines
well
bestowed
for
her
.
At
length
thinking
it
time
,
he
tolde
the
Prince
how
necessarie
his
departure
was
.
It
extreamely
gréeued
them
,
for
they
loued
him
as
a
brother
:
They
intreated
him
to
stay
one
eight
dayes
more
,
till
the
ending
of
an
armour
which
the
Lady
had
caused
to
be
made
,
hee
was
constrained
to
stay
because
he
would
not
go
without
them
.
I
well
appeared
by
their
riches
,
the
good
will
they
beare
to
him
:
they
likewise
gaue
him
a
lustie
strong
Courser
,
wherewith
,
and
with
the
armes
the
Prince
was
well
pleased
.
He
tooke
his
leaue
of
braue
Abstrusio
,
and
not
without
many
teares
from
Syrindas
faire
eyes
.
They
remained
so
affected
vnto
him
,
that
when
the
Gréeke
warres
were
knowne
,
this
was
one
brought
great
ayde
thither
,
dooing
the
Gréekes
such
good
seruice
,
that
thereby
they
sufficiently
paide
the
Prince
,
who
with
some
gréefe
for
their
absence
in
a
well
rigged
ship
,
Nauigated
towards
Nyquea
,
thinking
he
shuld
sooner
there
then
in
any
other
place
,
heare
of
his
Lady
.
On
the
fift
Nauigation
,
Fortune
already
beeing
weary
of
her
stay
,
would
shew
him
one
of
her
fiercest
changes
,
for
obtaining
Neptunes
fauour
,
she
conspired
with
Eolus
to
ouerturne
the
seas
,
raising
such
tempestuous
stormes
,
that
the
Prince
saw
himselfe
a
thousand
times
in
the
hands
of
death
:
sometimes
mounted
aloft
vpon
the
deuouring
rigges
of
a
waue
,
as
high
as
a
heauens
wéeping
face
,
and
then
tumbling
downe
,
as
lowe
as
the
lowest
Center
of
the
déepe
,
thinking
himselfe
and
shippe
ouerwhelmed
in
those
mercilesse
waters
,
accompanying
the
watery
dwellers
in
their
Cauerns
.
Then
would
he
pittie
his
weake
ouermatched
vessell
,
to
sée
it
striue
against
two
such
mightie
Elementall
foes
,
for
hauing
lost
by
furie
of
the
raging
windes
,
all
her
sayles
,
her
masses
,
and
tackels
aboue
,
was
belowe
so
cruelly
assaulted
with
the
seas
,
remorselesse
surges
,
that
beating
at
her
belly
and
sides
,
had
hewed
their
passage
through
her
ribbes
,
entring
her
breaches
so
without
all
pitie
,
that
neither
by
pumping
,
nor
any
other
means
,
her
leakes
were
vnable
to
be
stenched
,
that
the
poore
Marriners
tyred
with
labour
,
amazed
at
the
tempests
,
fiercenesse
and
confounded
with
death
:
submitted
to
the
pittilesse
mercie
of
windes
and
waters
,
whose
pittious
woful
clamors
piercing
the
roaring
noyse
of
their
opposed
enemies
,
ascended
the
high
heauens
.
The
casting
ouerboord
,
of
goods
,
anchors
and
tables
,
nothing
doth
auaile
,
and
what
in
haste
they
cannot
hurle
ouerboorde
,
the
furious
winde
doth
blowe
away
,
and
that
it
leaues
,
an
enuious
surge
doth
wash
into
the
sea
.
Thus
hopelesse
of
all
remedie
tossed
vp
and
downe
,
for
the
vnbrideled
rage
of
violent
fighting
windes
,
being
vnchained
from
the
earthes
obscure
concauities
,
blew
from
euery
corner
nothing
but
consuming
wrath
,
death
and
distruction
,
tying
their
force
vpon
the
smal
weak
vessell
,
which
they
had
torne
in
many
places
.
Foure
dayes
fought
they
thus
against
the
vnceasing
dismal
tempests
,
in
the
end
whereof
,
the
poore
death-fainting
saylers
séeming
to
foresée
an
vnlooked
for
calme
,
a
sudden
furious
Southerne
blast
opened
the
torne
Barke
,
leauing
the
distressed
louer
grapling
at
a
planke
vpon
the
whistling
Billowes
,
and
yet
with
his
sword
in
his
mouth
:
for
without
it
(
pittifull
Ladies
)
he
would
not
die
.
With
such
violence
blew
the
windes
,
that
violently
on
a
flintie
Rocke
they
hurled
him
,
to
whose
top
,
with
the
strength
of
his
armes
he
got
.
From
whence
he
looked
to
sée
what
would
become
of
the
ship
and
marriners
,
where
he
saw
the
lamentable
spectacle
,
the
poore
Maister
ryding
on
the
waters
,
vpon
a
Chest
,
whereon
he
set
all
his
hope
,
till
a
deuouring
waue
came
and
bereft
him
of
both
it
and
life
.
The
grones
hee
heard
,
of
the
rest
that
perished
,
séeing
the
fardels
,
packes
,
trusses
,
caper
on
the
dauncing
billowes
,
and
foming
waues
.
No
courage
preuailed
with
them
,
nor
their
continuall
liuing
on
the
seas
:
for
euery
one
(
as
it
is
wont
)
it
buried
in
her
watery
bowels
.
So
extreame
sorrowfull
remained
the
Prince
of
great
Britaine
at
the
lamentable
spectacle
,
that
with
teares
in
his
eyes
he
burst
forth
into
this
passion
.
Oh
supreame
high
heauens
,
how
no
man
in
this
miserable
world
may
iustly
call
himselfe
,
sure
or
happie
?
There
is
no
state
,
no
dignitie
,
nor
office
how
high
soeuer
it
be
aduanced
,
but
is
by
Fortune
,
subiect
to
the
greatest
and
most
dangerous
falles
?
Him
call
I
happie
that
least
doth
set
his
confidence
in
Fortune
,
or
hath
least
receiued
of
her
blinde
gifts
,
terming
her
benifites
,
the
threatning
of
greater
miserie
.
What
good
is
there
on
earth
but
is
mingled
with
a
thousand
vnsauorie
displeasing
euilles
,
and
of
discontents
,
misfortunes
,
and
lamentable
euentes
,
such
and
so
many
,
that
onely
leaue
him
with
his
bare
name
,
ouerpressing
the
soule
with
torments
,
and
gréeuing
the
perplexed
minde
with
most
gréeuous
and
wofull
paines
?
After
that
,
by
little
and
little
the
furie
of
the
sea
was
asswaged
,
he
hasted
to
a
coppes
that
not
farre
from
thence
he
espied
,
there
to
drie
his
clothes
,
and
himselfe
.
There
Trebatios
haughtie
Nephew
disrobed
himselfe
,
leauing
but
his
onely
shert
vpon
him
,
remembring
with
some
tendernesse
the
troubles
he
had
ouerpast
:
iudging
by
the
greatnes
of
them
,
they
would
at
length
,
wearie
of
themselues
,
bring
him
to
a
delectable
sweete
ende
,
that
then
with
the
present
happinesse
he
might
ioyfully
recount
his
former
infelicities
.
This
consideration
somewhat
animated
him
,
suffering
that
distresse
more
patiently
.
Example
should
they
take
by
him
,
that
in
lesse
dangers
forget
to
make
vse
of
sufferance
,
estéeming
that
death
,
which
peraduenture
the
celestiall
powers
doth
but
ordaine
for
tryall
of
theyr
workes
.
The
Gréeke
againe
apparelled
himselfe
,
his
vestments
beeing
drie
,
and
laid
him
downe
to
rest
,
neuer
more
destitute
thereof
then
at
that
instant
:
it
was
little
,
for
straight
hee
wakened
to
séeke
some
path
which
might
leade
him
to
some
Village
:
hee
found
it
,
but
with
some
trouble
:
for
without
it
,
nothing
desired
is
lightly
obtained
.
And
going
along
the
same
,
there
happened
to
him
,
what
the
insuing
Chapter
doth
mention
.
CHAP.
XIII
.
What
befell
vnto
the
mightie
Rosabell
,
with
certaine
other
Ladyes
,
of
whome
hee
learned
the
countrey
wherein
hee
then
was
.
I
Dare
almost
assure
my selfe
(
faire
Ladies
)
your
bewties
haue
with
some
féeling
(
except
your
harts
be
harder
then
the
flint
,
or
more
obdurate
then
the
Dyamond
)
attended
the
Gréeke
princes
shipwrack
:
In
faith
his
worthes
deserue
it
:
for
hee
that
with
an
(
ayme
)
submits
himselfe
to
gréefe
,
maketh
himselfe
vnworthie
of
comiseration
,
being
in
necessitie
:
and
yet
,
neuer
any
merited
fauour
,
that
denied
it
to
the
néedie
.
Something
destitute
of
it
was
Olyuias
haughtie
sonne
,
but
from
the
middest
of
his
heart
drew
he
strength
to
resist
his
woes
:
who
although
incompassed
on
all
sides
with
so
many
extreames
,
did
neuer
forget
her
,
whose
fauours
were
wont
to
cherish
him
,
and
now
in
absence
putting
him
to
his
tryall
.
This
vertue
hath
true
loue
(
remoueable
by
nothing
from
the
soule
,
where
it
buildeth
once
his
rest
,
)
opposing
it selfe
against
all
inconueniences
,
though
ordered
by
his
Lady
,
whereof
being
assured
,
takes
them
as
comforts
to
his
distresse
.
Many
examples
there
are
of
this
,
yet
of
them
I
wil
recount
but
one
,
witnesse
my
mothers
sonne
,
whom
neither
the
changes
of
time
,
nor
time
altering
course
of
life
:
nor
yet
the
Mutabilitie
of
state
in
life
,
can
make
him
denie
his
Captiuitie
,
nor
omit
the
dulled
accentes
of
an
vnaccent
passion
,
with
remembrance
of
his
grones
for
his
vnpittying
warres
.
And
though
she
know
it
,
and
the
sinceritie
of
his
affection
,
yet
turnes
she
away
the
pittie
of
her
fauour
,
one
telling
him
his
paines
are
too
fewe
.
Pittie
so
vnfortunate
a
Louer
(
pittifull
Ladies
)
and
yée
that
shall
first
heare
of
his
griefe
,
greater
then
that
which
neuer
any
had
,
nor
worse
respected
:
yet
this
comfort
hath
hee
,
that
a
lady
(
excéeded
all
worth
of
comparison
)
moued
with
his
laments
,
said
(
vnknowne
by
whom
)
vngratefull
truth
may
shee
be
called
,
that
thus
intreateth
this
distressed
Louer
:
Venus
and
Cupid
reward
thée
(
beautious
Lady
)
and
su●●
I
am
hee
wil
when
thou
shalt
desire
Loues
helpe
,
against
Fortunes
tyrannie
:
for
the
Gréeke
Lord
suffering
his
labours
with
constant
sufferance
,
in
the
ende
obtained
his
Lyriana
,
whose
onely
sight
made
him
déeme
all
his
former
discontents
,
most
swéete
contents
.
With
this
hope
trauelled
hee
on
foote
,
onely
with
his
sword
,
hauing
taken
the
straightest
and
most
troden
path
.
Hee
had
not
gone
farre
,
but
vexed
with
thirst
(
although
newe
dryed
of
waters
)
he
turned
vp
a
long
by
a
cleare
streame
,
till
he
came
to
the
head
of
the
spring
,
about
which
,
was
builded
an
Allablaster
Fountaine
,
whose
worke
,
with
the
clearenesse
of
the
waters
,
inuited
the
Prince
to
drinke
.
Which
done
,
he
did
eate
of
such
frute
as
the
frutefull
trées
did
yéeld
,
that
round
incompassed
the
Fountaine
.
Tyred
with
his
former
toyles
,
he
laid
him
downe
and
slept
a
good
while
,
resting
his
rest
wanting
amorous
ioynts
.
Farre
was
he
not
from
the
great
cittie
of
Golthuerg
,
chiefe
in
the
Kingdome
of
Sylephia
,
lying
betwéene
Polonia
and
Bohemia
,
and
therefore
at
the
instant
,
he
dreamed
the
swéetest
Vision
in
all
his
life
:
for
thinking
himselfe
embraced
his
Lady
,
the
Princesse
Eufronisa
,
whose
beautie
was
inferiour
to
none
,
equalling
the
fayrest
that
met
in
Constantinople
at
the
Tryumphes
.
She
was
very
young
,
hauing
not
yet
attained
to
14.
yeares
,
which
made
her
as
children
vse
,
walke
to
sport
her selfe
about
those
woods
that
bordered
on
her
garden
:
and
hauing
lost
her selfe
with
one
Lady
,
from
the
rest
of
her
attendants
,
so
amazed
was
not
Venus
,
when
she
first
saw
the
boy
Adonis
along
the
banks
of
Nylus
,
as
with
admiration
the
bewtious
Eufronisa
was
astonished
with
the
Gréeke
Princes
sight
that
lay
vpon
the
grasse
,
séeming
more
faire
then
when
young
Apollo
in
habit
of
a
shéepheard
tended
Alestes
Goates
.
He
was
big
of
body
,
his
other
parts
and
liniaments
are
already
set
downe
,
although
now
he
entered
into
20
,
they
were
better
perfected
.
With
more
desire
did
the
Lady
gaze
on
him
,
then
in
the
woods
of
Troy
,
the
thrée
faire
Goddesses
expected
Paris
sentence
.
So
much
she
yéelded
to
the
sight
,
that
shee
began
to
féele
a
newe
alteration
neuer
felt
before
in
her
heart
:
for
being
but
a
childe
,
she
yet
knew
not
the
meaning
of
Loues
pretie
fooleries
.
With
some
woonder
she
turned
to
her
damzell
,
with
these
words
.
Hast
thou
euer
séene
more
perfect
bewtie
then
this
gallant
youth
doth
shew
?
I
beléeue
that
Nature
at
his
byrth
,
angrie
with
her selfe
,
did
thus
create
him
to
despight
her selfe
:
I
cannot
thinke
but
he
is
child
to
some
of
our
immortal
Gods
,
that
haue
now
sent
him
on
the
earth
to
alienate
all
straungers
wits
.
Which
if
it
be
so
,
we
Ladies
must
strengthen
our selues
with
courage
,
for
I
feare
,
the
wisest
will
néed
it
to
scape
frée
of
his
sight
,
so
absolute
is
he
in
all
things
.
This
aduice
came
too
late
to
the
tender
Lady
,
for
Loue
had
already
made
her
his
Goddesse
till
the
death
:
neither
had
she
power
to
vntie
the
knot
wherewith
blinde
Cupid
had
bound
her
hart
,
tying
it
so
hard
,
as
he
left
it
insoluble
.
I
pittie
thée
gallant
Eufronisa
,
that
in
the
nonage
of
thy
yeares
,
thou
shuldest
begin
so
sower
an
office
,
as
to
be
subiect
to
an
vnknown
lord
,
I
wold
willingly
giue
thée
some
consolation
,
but
so
much
I
do
want
it
,
as
rather
for
both
I
should
procure
it
.
No
vaine
,
no
colour
,
no
fashion
was
in
the
Brytanickes
face
,
but
she
coted
it
within
her
very
soule
,
giuing
it
the
shadow
,
and
her
heart
the
substance
,
which
being
so
tender
and
vnacquainted
with
change
,
tooke
such
impression
,
that
neuer
Lady
yéelded
more
to
loue
then
Eufronisa
.
Now
she
desires
to
speake
to
him
,
then
feares
she
.
Already
becomes
she
suspicious
,
that
neuer
learned
to
loue
.
Before
she
knew
who
he
was
,
she
became
so
skilfull
in
the
Art
,
that
she
feared
whether
he
loued
,
whether
he
could
loue
or
acknowledge
anies
soueraigntie
.
Now
she
that
staines
the
blushing
of
the
mornings
Sunne
,
becomes
enuious
of
her
owne
thoughts
,
and
doth
distrust
her
owne
worths
,
séeking
new
deuises
and
inuented
meanes
to
be
beloued
,
deseruing
for
her
owne
bewtie
,
Ioues
immortal
worship
.
Oh
Cupids
blind
snares
,
happinesse
in
misery
,
a
plague
in
pleasure
,
and
grief
without
remedy
,
found
vnsought
for
,
and
yet
a
torment
that
contains
a
most
swéete
life
.
By
her
amazednesse
,
perceiued
the
damzel
her
Ladies
maladie
,
wherefore
she
merily
said
:
Let
vs
awake
this
knight
,
and
try
whether
his
bewtie
haue
more
force
waking
or
sléeping
.
Doo
what
you
wil
(
replied
she
)
although
it
be
no
modestie
considering
who
we
be
.
Rather
waighing
that
,
I
thinke
it
best
to
do
it
(
said
the
wittie
Selia
)
to
sée
what
he
is
that
hath
such
power
ouer
Ladies
:
for
if
his
merits
equals
all
other
parts
requisite
in
a
good
knight
,
he
may
call
himselfe
one
of
the
happiest
in
the
world
.
So
long
continued
the
Ladies
in
their
amourous
chat
,
that
the
Prince
awaked
with
these
words
.
Oh
fortune
,
how
doest
thou
flatter
my
hopes
,
for
if
thou
giuest
me
any
good
,
t
is
only
dreaming
,
that
when
I
wake
to
see
it
,
I
finde
it
but
an
illusion
.
He
said
no
more
,
for
the
Ladies
sight
staied
him
,
both
from
the
publishing
his
woes
,
as
of
the
cause
of
them
.
He
rose
,
admiring
the
Ladies
bewtie
:
who
first
spake
thus
.
You
should
séeme
to
haue
fewe
enemies
(
sir
knight
)
séeing
so
carelesly
you
lye
and
sléepe
in
passages
so
open
,
that
any
by
you
offended
,
may
at
his
pleasure
right
himselfe
.
He
answered
:
So
crosse
and
austere
hath
my
fortune
alwaies
bene
most
bewteous
Ladie
,
that
it
did
neuer
let
me
knowe
the
state
wherin
I
might
say
I
had
a
friend
,
for
euen
my
owne
thoughts
doo
most
within
my
brest
,
make
warre
against
my
rest
:
wherefore
hauing
none
to
trust
vnto
,
forceth
me
to
set
my selfe
in
the
hands
of
euery
one
,
that
one
in
this
generalitie
,
would
shewe
the
office
of
a
friend
,
by
taking
away
my
despised
life
,
then
as
such
a
one
I
should
account
him
,
for
by
the
déed
giuing
me
one
death
,
he
riddes
me
of
a
thousand
that
I
suffer
in
continuall
languishment
:
and
it
,
might
I
wel
call
life
:
for
he
liues
well
,
that
féeles
no
more
pain
.
Great
is
your
griefe
(
answered
the
Ladie
)
and
of
force
to
drawe
commiseration
from
the
hardest
heart
,
and
greater
it
is
,
séeing
that
none
pities
you
,
were
it
but
with
a
counterfeit
remedie
,
noting
the
waight
of
your
complaints
.
In
faith
(
faire
Ladie
)
said
the
Prince
,
so
mightie
are
my
oppressions
,
that
although
I
know
them
,
and
the
paine
I
endure
by
them
,
yet
I
must
suffer
them
,
for
if
I
liue
,
it
is
by
liuing
in
paine
,
so
that
should
I
,
but
neuer
so
litle
ease
this
paine
,
it
would
be
séene
in
the
want
of
my
health
.
If
it
doth
so
please
you
(
replied
the
Ladie
)
vniustly
you
complaine
,
and
I
thinke
you
greatly
wrong
your
Ladie
,
terming
her
cruel
.
My
complaints
(
most
soueraigne
Ladie
)
are
not
so
much
ment
against
my
lifes
directnesse
,
as
against
my
vnhappie
starres
,
that
make
me
infortunate
in
fauours
,
but
not
in
my
imployment
,
for
neuer
was
any
better
,
but
in
such
a
place
where
my
griefs
be
scorned
.
Some
reason
you
haue
(
said
the
Lady
)
hauing
this
occasion
to
bewaile
:
for
where
sorrow
is
not
regarded
,
there
is
a
double
griefe
,
and
gladly
would
I
know
who
you
are
,
and
where
borne
,
for
you
séeme
a
straunger
in
these
parts
.
I
cannot
but
obey
your
soueraigne
commaund
(
most
excellent
Lady
)
answered
the
Gréeke
:
I
was
borne
in
the
farthest
Confines
of
great
Tartaria
,
and
am
called
Corolano
,
cast
by
fowle
weather
and
tempest
of
the
sea
,
on
this
Countrey
,
passing
so
many
troubles
,
that
had
I
not
receiued
such
vnexpected
comfort
with
your
faire
sight
,
no
doubt
,
but
that
my
soule
séeing
the
bodie
drenched
in
misery
,
and
as
vnworthie
to
containe
it
,
had
it
forsaken
me
,
but
to
enioy
within
it
the
view
of
your
happie
sight
,
gaue
life
to
her
liuelesse
habitation
:
And
that
I
may
commit
no
error
(
for
it
is
impossible
but
I
haue
incurred
some
)
suffer
my
prayers
by
your
admittance
to
make
me
deseruer
to
know
the
name
of
the
land
so
happie
in
the
possession
of
such
admirable
brauery
.
Quickly
doo
you
require
a
payment
for
the
discouery
of
your
name
(
Sir
knight
)
replied
Selia
,
(
for
the
Princesse
could
not
,
busied
in
her
new
and
painfull
businesse
)
but
because
you
shall
not
altogither
iudge
your selfe
vnfortunate
in
your
pretences
,
know
this
land
is
called
Sylepsia
,
whereof
this
Lady
is
Princesse
,
and
going
on
hunting
,
we
lost
our
company
and
our selues
:
yet
wee
haue
not
hunted
ill
,
hauing
founde
the
amourousest
knight
in
the
world
:
and
so
according
to
your
showes
,
none
like
you
haue
better
assuraunce
of
the
Louers
Tent
,
whose
aduenture
was
newly
brought
into
this
Cittie
,
and
the
proofe
thereof
shall
within
these
foure
daies
be
begunne
,
and
little
shall
you
not
please
vs
to
hazard
your
person
in
the
tryall
.
I
am
so
ill
prouided
of
Armor
and
other
necessaries
,
(
faire
damzell
answered
the
tender
Prince
)
that
though
I
were
vnwilling
to
do
it
,
yet
to
content
your
bewties
,
with
them
I
would
try
it
,
assured
that
for
louing
and
being
vnfortunate
,
to
me
the
glory
is
onely
due
.
This
want
shall
not
hinder
you
(
said
Eufronisa
)
for
I
will
furnish
you
with
the
best
armor
that
euer
you
saw
,
earst
belonging
to
the
first
king
that
raigned
in
this
countrey
,
named
Tersio
,
equall
in
soueraigntie
of
Fortitude
and
Wisedome
,
strengthened
by
Art
and
skill
wherewith
he
forged
them
,
and
neuer
were
séene
by
any
.
These
i
le
send
you
by
this
damzell
,
first
swearing
you
shall
not
absent
your selfe
from
this
Kingdome
without
my
leaue
,
and
in
our
Pallace
shall
you
be
cherished
.
The
amorous
Lady
spake
so
plainly
,
as
the
Prince
could
perceiue
Loues
new
wound
.
There
is
none
so
destitute
of
iudgement
,
but
wold
haue
weighed
what
he
obtained
to
be
beloued
of
so
faire
a
dame
:
for
if
the
Prince
had
euer
séene
pure
bewtie
,
she
was
the
perfect
stampe
therof
:
in
whose
creation
,
Nature
the
olde
Mars
of
liuing
forme
,
had
shewed
the
vtmost
of
her
skill
,
modeling
her
liniaments
,
more
absolute
then
thought
could
wish
.
Among
so
fewe
yeares
as
they
both
had
,
was
neuer
seene
completer
excellencies
:
so
he
answered
.
Who
dares
most
soueraigne
Lady
,
shew
himselfe
so
vngratefull
to
the
fauours
imparted
by
your
rare
bewty
,
as
to
commit
a
fault
so
hainous
to
depart
from
you
without
your
license
?
I
am
so
long
since
captiue
to
anothers
wil
,
as
now
to
acknowledge
it
anew
is
no
pain
,
but
rather
chéefest
happines
,
knowing
to
whom
I
owe
seruice
.
Why
then
(
said
she
)
we
may
be
gon
,
assured
you
will
do
no
otherwise
,
and
this
night
will
I
send
you
horse
and
Armor
,
whose
sight
will
content
you
:
In
the
meane
time
hyde
your selfe
amongst
these
Pynes
:
for
hauing
lost
our selues
,
it
cannot
bee
but
our
Guard
will
seeke
vs
out
.
The
Gréeke
now
had
no
more
will
but
to
fulfill
the
Ladies
:
and
so
taking
his
leaue
of
the
young
childe
,
already
olde
in
loue
,
he
thrust
himself
into
the
the
thickest
thereof
.
Without
a
thousand
embracements
she
had
not
sent
him
,
feared
she
not
to
be
too
much
noted
of
wantonnesse
,
yet
with
her
eyes
she
exprest
her
hearts
desire
.
They
are
(
soueraign
dames
)
the
tonguelesse
messengers
that
best
make
knowne
the
paine
and
pleasure
of
the
soules
.
Better
signes
of
like
or
dislike
,
is
there
not
,
then
the
motion
of
those
spéechlesse
speakers
.
As
one
rapt
in
a
dustie
blacke
clowde
,
so
séemed
Eufronisa
in
absence
of
her
sonne
.
Ay
me
(
my
Selia
)
said
the
amorous
Ladie
,
what
in
auspicious
lucke
crosses
my
tendernesse
to
affect
the
knight
that
hath
alreadie
another
granted
the
possession
,
of
his
soule
?
Who
can
loue
him
,
knowing
hee
affects
another
,
wherewith
the
heauens
haue
adorned
mee
,
and
yet
not
made
me
proude
?
for
if
he
loues
another
,
how
shall
I
loue
him
,
being
sure
that
for
my
sight
hee
will
not
violate
the
promise
of
his
sacrificed
faith
,
and
yet
who
will
not
dote
on
him
?
What
inconueniences
can
restraine
me
from
his
loue
?
what
infamie
,
what
dishonour
,
or
what
staine
of
maidens
fame
may
befall
me
,
but
my
soule
will
regardlesse
trample
on
,
so
with
equall
loue
her
paines
might
be
rewarded
?
Why
,
I
doo
not
feare
the
foolish
rude
reports
of
common
multitudes
,
when
they
shall
ioyne
their
mouthes
to
fames
shrill
trumpe
,
far
and
neare
to
sound
my
shame
,
when
this
my
folly
shall
bee
noysed
abroad
I
will
loue
and
dote
on
him
,
and
yet
I
do
beléeue
,
that
doing
so
,
I
do
not
sufficiently
answere
the
merits
of
his
valour
,
nor
noble
carriage
of
his
minde
.
And
though
it
be
a
torment
intollerable
,
to
knowe
another
is
inshrined
in
his
brest
,
I
cannot
refuse
the
diuine
appoyntment
,
nor
what
heerein
my
haplesse
fates
ordaine
:
for
otherwise
,
none
more
happie
then
I
in
loue
:
and
I
cannot
beléeue
he
is
as
hee
hath
said
to
bee
,
for
these
that
haue
the
power
to
bee
beloued
of
euerie
one
,
doo
neuer
disclose
their
true
names
,
countrie
,
and
estates
,
wherefore
wee
must
by
all
meanes
procure
to
learne
his
certaine
name
,
for
beeing
intreated
thereto
,
I
do
not
doubt
but
he
will
.
That
he
is
easie
to
be
knowne
(
answered
the
damozell
)
hauing
him
in
our
lodging
,
for
if
he
be
in
loue
,
(
as
he
séemed
to
be
)
being
alone
,
hee
will
publish
it
,
and
perchance
more
then
we
now
wish
,
for
intire
loue
cannot
be
husht
in
secret
,
and
euery
one
too
much
bragges
of
this
blind
opinion
,
as
to
account
the
greatest
comfort
to
participate
the
inward
thoughts
,
to
stones
,
to
wals
,
to
groues
,
to
fields
,
and
windes
.
Ay
me
(
my
Selia
)
by
experience
thou
doest
shew
to
haue
ben
in
loue
(
said
Eufronisa
)
who
can
discourse
of
seas
,
of
rockes
,
of
shallowes
,
and
of
tempests
,
but
such
as
haue
nauigated
,
scapt
and
past
them
?
What
is
hée
that
feares
his
enemie
,
that
hath
not
béene
wounded
at
his
hands
?
If
this
bee
so
,
and
thou
so
skilfull
,
I
will
repose
the
trust
of
this
my
businesse
,
on
thy
discretion
and
experience
.
Had
it
béene
for
nothing
but
to
helpe
you
in
this
tempest
,
(
soueraigne
Ladie
)
answered
Selia
,
I
account
the
time
well
bestowed
,
I
spent
in
Loues
toyes
,
letting
my
soule
confesse
with
content
,
anothers
superioritie
.
I
am
well
acquainted
with
Loues
deuises
and
his
allurements
:
I
know
where
he
is
resisted
,
there
enuiously
hee
striues
to
subiugate
new
forces
,
causing
afterwards
greater
paines
for
refusing
his
deitie
,
and
denying
his
prerogatiue
ouer
all
the
world
,
as
hee
that
can
onely
giue
life
or
death
with
ioy
.
Why
then
(
my
deare
Selia
)
said
the
Princesse
,
it
is
likely
he
wil
not
so
cruelly
tyrannize
ouer
me
,
that
willingly
admitted
the
heauie
yoake
of
his
slauerie
,
as
he
vseth
against
them
that
leuied
armes
and
warre
against
his
power
.
Selia
answered
.
To
demaund
no
condition
of
this
God
,
is
best
for
gouerning
absolutely
by
himselfe
,
doth
not
(
being
blinde
)
consider
the
gréeuous
paines
the
soule
indures
,
and
many
times
with
a
little
,
rests
hee
more
content
,
(
in
the
end
hee
is
but
a
childe
)
then
if
a
thousand
hearts
were
sacrificed
to
appease
his
wrath
.
They
could
procéed
no
further
in
their
sweet
chat
,
for
many
knights
came
to
them
that
carefully
did
séeke
them
,
fearing
some
disgrace
had
befallen
them
.
They
were
glad
when
they
met
them
,
so
altogither
returned
to
the
Cittie
,
for
the
Princesse
would
no
longer
stay
,
hauing
alreadie
foode
to
nourish
her
conceits
.
The
night
beeing
come
,
they
bound
the
armour
in
a
bundle
,
and
the
Ladie
sent
to
a
kinsman
of
hers
,
whom
shee
trusted
to
make
readie
the
best
horse
within
the
Cittie
.
He
did
it
,
desiring
to
do
her
seruice
,
which
when
she
knew
,
making
him
sweare
to
keepe
her
counsell
,
she
bad
him
go
with
Selia
,
for
she
had
promised
a
knight
to
furnish
him
,
to
prooue
the
Louers
tent
.
So
leauing
her
,
they
arriued
in
good
time
at
the
fountaine
,
where
they
found
the
Gréeke
ouerwhelmed
in
imaginations
,
expecting
the
Ladies
commaund
.
After
courtesies
past
on
either
side
,
Selia
said
.
The
Ladie
(
sir
Knight
)
that
met
you
here
this
day
,
sendes
you
this
armour
and
horse
,
for
seeing
you
promised
her
to
prooue
the
aduenture
of
the
Louers
tent
in
her
name
,
shee
thought
good
to
furnish
you
with
necessaries
therefore
.
Whereto
the
Gréeke
replied
.
Faire
damzell
,
you
may
tell
that
Ladie
,
that
with
such
a
fauour
,
a
harder
enterprise
is
assured
.
They
would
not
talke
of
other
matters
,
because
of
the
olde
mans
presence
,
more
then
to
giue
him
direction
for
his
way
,
and
therevpon
departed
,
leauing
the
Prince
expecting
the
comming
of
the
next
morne
,
wherein
faire
Ladies
there
befell
him
what
you
shall
heare
.
CHAP.
XIIII
.
What
happened
to
the
Prince
Rosabell
,
going
to
the
Cittie
to
prooue
the
aduenture
of
the
Louers
Pauilion
.
VNable
to
conceiue
the
cause
why
that
beauteous
Princesse
should
shewe
him
such
kindnesse
,
laye
Rosiclers
braue
sonne
vppon
the
grasse
,
passing
away
the
night
in
that
thicket
,
looking
for
the
desired
morne
,
meane
while
,
taking
some
rest
.
Two
houres
before
it
did
appeare
,
he
awaked
with
the
remembrance
of
his
lost
Ladie
,
recording
with
what
rigor
fortune
had
crost
his
ioyes
,
iudging
his
shipwracke
was
not
yet
an
end
vnto
his
troubles
,
thinking
that
yet
the
blinde
Goddesse
was
not
content
with
his
tried
patience
.
He
hartily
wished
to
know
new
meanes
to
indure
such
excessiue
torments
as
he
daily
suffered
.
This
imagination
so
opprest
him
,
that
to
ease
with
passage
his
burthening
passions
,
he
beganne
to
plaine
him
to
the
trées
,
that
with
their
stirring
noyse
,
mooued
by
the
gentle
blasts
of
Zephyrus
,
séemed
to
pittie
his
laments
breathed
against
her
,
whose
mutabilities
are
the
plagues
and
scourges
of
mortall
men
.
They
were
not
vttered
with
such
silence
,
but
might
bee
heard
by
Astorildo
Prince
of
Callidonia
,
brother
to
the
beauteous
Rosamond
,
that
departing
from
his
sister
in
Greece
,
(
glad
in
his
soule
to
sée
her
so
well
bestowed
)
trauelled
to
séeke
aduentures
through
the
world
,
performing
many
braue
déeds
vnder
the
name
of
the
knight
of
the
Griffon
,
all
which
are
at
large
set
downe
in
the
Chronicles
Lupercio
writ
of
all
the
Pagans
acts
.
Galtenor
doth
not
here
mention
them
,
because
they
appertained
not
vnto
the
storie
he
composed
.
So
now
was
the
frée
Pagan
ouerhearing
the
Gréekes
complaints
:
he
was
not
mooued
at
them
,
for
he
had
not
yet
yéelded
his
libertie
to
loue
.
A
while
he
stayed
,
thinking
the
complaint
would
further
procéed
.
It
fell
out
as
hee
would
haue
it
,
for
hee
vttered
many
pittifull
exclaimes
,
afore
Auroras
shining
in
the
heauens
,
yet
could
he
not
by
them
iudge
who
he
was
,
more
then
the
constancie
he
publisht
of
his
Loue
:
who
was
so
carefull
to
go
vnto
the
Cittie
,
that
in
the
instant
he
put
on
the
rich
armour
Eufronisa
had
sent
him
.
Such
were
they
as
appertained
to
a
nouell
knight
,
all
white
,
bur
garnisht
with
many
flowers
of
precious
Rubies
.
They
greatly
pleased
him
,
being
of
the
best
in
the
world
,
as
also
because
with
such
of
like
colours
,
he
departed
from
Nyquea
,
and
combatted
with
his
father
.
His
shield
was
like
his
armour
,
in
middle
thereof
,
bearing
the
picture
of
Faith
,
held
by
a
white
hand
,
which
for
all
that
two
Serpents
with
their
stinges
did
pricke
,
would
not
loosen
it
.
The
word
this
.
Loues
greefes
the
longer
,
Holds
Faith
the
stronger
.
Though
orepressed
:
still
my selfe
.
Clad
in
these
faire
armes
,
and
mounted
on
a
lustie
Courser
,
did
Trebatios
haughtie
Nephew
pace
on
towards
the
famous
cittie
,
glad
to
sée
it
with
so
many
Danubious
streames
,
which
made
it
one
of
the
fertilests
soyles
in
the
world
.
The
same
way
did
he
spye
the
valiant
Astorildo
,
in
faire
gréene
armour
full
of
Pomegranates
,
and
on
his
shielde
a
fearfull
Griffon
.
Wonders
had
Rosabell
heard
of
him
,
reioycing
to
sée
him
of
such
braue
disposition
:
so
did
he
admire
the
Gréeke
,
supposing
he
was
him
,
that
in
the
Forrest
he
had
heard
complaine
,
hee
gazed
on
him
a
while
,
iudging
his
behauiour
to
excel
his
that
in
Grecia
had
ouerthrown
him
.
Hauing
each
met
with
the
other
,
they
extended
such
courtesie
,
as
they
iudged
eithers
merits
to
deserue
.
The
Callidonian
spake
first
in
that
countrie
language
,
saying
.
I
would
gladly
knowe
(
sir
knight
)
who
you
are
,
for
it
séemeth
to
mee
,
I
haue
séene
you
farre
from
hence
.
In
the
same
tongue
replyed
the
Gréeke
,
beeing
well
skild
in
most
.
I
am
(
sir
knight
)
of
such
remoted
countrie
,
that
though
I
should
tell
my
name
,
you
could
not
knowe
me
:
notwithstanding
through
those
places
I
haue
trauelled
,
and
where
I
am
best
knowne
,
I
am
called
the
Knight
of
the
Flowers
,
beeing
by
stormes
and
fortune
of
the
seas
,
cast
on
this
land
,
where
I
vnderstood
,
there
is
in
the
Kings
Court
,
a
certaine
aduenture
arriued
very
lately
,
which
ere
I
did
depart
,
I
was
willing
to
know
and
prooue
it
,
hazarding
but
little
thereby
,
being
on
Ladies
behalfes
,
whose
seruice
brings
with
it
a
reward
for
any
paine
how
great
soeuer
,
although
it
should
be
thought
none
done
in
a
Ladies
name
.
There
is
reason
(
replied
the
Callidonian
)
to
procure
their
content
with
perill
of
our
liues
,
but
this
must
be
with
assurance
of
reward
.
Whereto
the
Gréeke
answered
.
Then
deserues
he
not
to
bee
beloued
,
that
doth
it
for
reward
.
Neuer
(
sir
knight
)
was
that
loue
famous
,
whereto
a
recompence
was
proposed
,
which
must
by
deserued
loue
be
obtained
:
for
as
loue
is
the
motion
of
a
noble
act
,
for
which
all
good
is
desired
to
the
thing
loued
,
so
doth
not
hee
merit
that
honoured
,
title
that
séekes
it
for
any
other
thing
,
vnlesse
it
bee
to
let
the
world
admire
the
rarenesse
of
his
quallities
,
not
inclining
to
the
other
,
which
rather
is
a
price
prefixt
for
loue
,
dishonouring
the
reputation
of
the
Louer
,
and
disableth
his
worthes
,
through
the
hopes
of
that
guerdon
which
otherwise
might
make
him
most
happie
.
And
well
it
séemes
you
knowe
not
what
it
is
to
bee
anothers
,
alleadging
such
an
irronious
opinion
,
condemned
of
all
that
knowe
what
happinesse
it
is
,
happily
to
loue
,
which
makes
me
smyle
to
thinke
how
safe
the
Tent
is
from
you
,
for
being
to
be
giuen
to
louers
,
your
libertie
excludes
you
from
that
priuiledge
,
which
by
being
one
,
you
haue
obtained
.
I
would
not
haue
you
so
rashly
iudge
,
by
what
you
knowe
not
(
replied
the
Pagan
)
for
you
may
be
deceiued
.
How
should
I
be
(
said
the
Gréeke
)
hearing
you
so
plainly
vrge
your
libertie
?
Nay
then
(
returned
the
Callidonian
)
that
you
may
know
the
vnaduisednesse
of
your
iudgement
,
I
say
,
none
shall
prooue
it
,
vnlesse
he
first
prooue
mee
vpon
the
spéeches
wee
haue
vrged
,
for
who
the
diuell
hath
euer
loued
,
without
hope
of
something
.
That
hope
(
answered
Rosabell
somewhat
mooued
)
the
Louer
must
not
haue
,
but
leaue
it
in
the
Ladies
dispose
,
for
it
is
shee
must
consider
the
merits
of
that
faith
,
wherewith
shee
sées
shee
is
adored
,
and
according
to
those
deserts
and
her
bountie
,
she
yéeldes
the
due
reward
.
And
I
am
sorrie
wee
should
with
new
brawles
enter
into
the
Pallace
,
and
I
beeing
first
aduertised
of
the
aduenture
,
the
first
triall
ought
to
bee
mine
.
And
so
about
both
matters
(
hauing
now
opportunitie
)
let
our
battell
be
,
with
this
condition
,
(
least
we
want
time
for
the
aduentures
promised
)
that
hee
which
forgoeth
first
his
saddle
,
shall
not
sée
the
aduenture
,
vnlesse
he
be
commaunded
by
the
conqueror
.
Nothing
doth
better
please
me
(
said
Astorildo
)
that
you
may
know
your
error
by
your
loue
.
So
these
two
famous
warriours
turned
their
horses
brauely
confronting
each
other
.
More
horror
makes
not
the
furious
waues
,
beating
on
the
stonie
rockes
,
then
they
by
their
incounters
.
The
Pagan
was
one
of
the
greatest
that
the
Gréeke
had
receiued
,
for
it
cast
him
backwards
on
his
horse
,
with
losse
of
both
stirrops
:
but
the
Pagan
chaunced
woorse
,
for
Mars
on
horsebacke
equalled
not
the
Prince
,
that
met
him
so
strongly
,
that
fetching
him
cleane
from
his
saddle
,
he
fel
on
his
féete
.
Recouer
he
would
his
seate
before
the
Gréek
returned
,
hauing
the
bridle
in
his
hand
,
but
the
horse
starting
at
his
offer
,
mounted
aloft
and
put
him
from
it
,
that
the
Gréeke
when
hée
turned
,
sawe
him
on
the
ground
:
where
hee
required
the
combat
with
the
sword
.
We
should
so
stay
ouerlong
(
said
the
Greeke
)
for
fear
therof
made
me
condition
thus
:
but
we
shall
haue
time
ere
you
depart
this
land
to
do
it
,
the
which
I
promise
to
performe
,
bee
it
but
to
disswade
you
from
your
heresie
.
And
that
you
may
beginne
to
credit
me
,
I
am
content
you
first
prooue
the
aduenture
,
so
shall
you
sée
what
aduantage
you
should
haue
,
not
hauing
this
opinion
which
your
libertie
makes
you
maintaine
.
Otherwise
could
not
the
Pagan
do
,
for
noted
he
would
not
be
of
discourtesie
:
so
he
promised
to
accomplish
it
,
and
mounting
againe
like
two
great
friendes
,
they
tooke
their
way
to
the
Cittie
,
arriuing
there
at
the
first
houre
after
noone
,
when
all
the
principall
thereof
repaired
to
the
Pallace
to
sée
the
aduentures
proofe
,
togither
with
many
valiant
straungers
that
about
it
were
thither
come
.
As
these
two
warriours
passed
through
the
stréetes
,
al
the
peoples
eies
they
drew
after
them
,
admiring
to
sée
them
so
well
armed
,
&
of
so
braue
disposition
.
Gallanter
Knights
were
not
in
that
Cittie
séene
of
many
yeares
before
.
As
too
and
fro
the
streetes
were
crossed
by
passengers
that
went
to
the
Court
,
and
they
doing
the
like
,
the
sunnes
splendent
rayes
reuerberated
on
their
glittering
armour
,
as
no
sence
could
more
desire
.
The
amorous
Eufronisa
lost
not
this
sight
,
for
standing
on
a
turret
,
she
sawe
the
maiesticke
pacing
of
her
gallant
,
and
said
vnto
her selfe
,
shée
had
giuen
him
but
litle
to
make
him
Lord
only
of
her
hart
.
There
is
no.
Ladie
(
saide
Loues
newe
Scholler
)
that
hath
more
reason
to
loue
then
I
,
since
(
in
my
opinion
)
the
Gods
haue
not
reserued
vnto
themselues
,
more
grace
,
more
brauerie
,
nor
more
woorth
,
then
they
haue
bestowed
on
this
knight
.
Somwhat
did
this
deefied
couple
prick
their
horses
,
and
passing
vnder
the
Ladies
being
,
the
Gréek
made
his
,
bend
his
knées
to
the
ground
,
and
his
head
lower
then
his
brest
.
The
Ladie
séeing
it
,
raised
her selfe
to
do
him
courtesie
,
which
as
a
fauor
she
bestowed
,
not
respecting
how
she
might
be
noted
for
it
.
Near
her
stood
her
wittie
Selia
,
that
burst
into
these
words
.
I
cannot
blame
you
,
(
soueraigne
Princesse
)
for
louing
him
that
was
borne
to
be
beloued
,
and
if
for
him
you
suffer
,
he
hath
with
him
a
remedie
for
your
greatest
maladie
,
and
therefore
doo
not
complaine
,
for
if
you
do
,
I
le
sweare
you
do
dissemble
.
She
answered
.
If
there
wore
any
with
him
,
that
would
so
well
plead
my
deserts
to
him
,
as
hee
hath
here
to
read
his
merits
to
my
beléefe
,
it
might
bee
I
should
bee
able
to
dissemble
my
paine
when
it
takes
me
:
&
yet
can
I
not
denie
what
thou
alledgest
,
for
his
gallant
behauior
is
a
comfort
in
middest
of
my
greatest
woes
.
The
two
famous
Knights
alighted
,
for
the
hall
(
being
one
of
the
fairest
in
the
world
)
was
full
of
knights
,
that
expected
the
proofe
of
the
Louers
Pauillion
.
In
the
outward
yarde
they
left
their
horses
,
and
as
friends
togither
entred
into
the
hall
,
hauing
round
about
an
infinite
of
rich
seates
,
excepting
a
corner
,
purposely
hung
and
reserued
for
the
Ladies
that
then
entred
,
whose
beautie
and
brauerie
delighted
euerie
heart
.
The
most
beauteous
Eufronisa
would
not
differ
in
her
colour
of
garments
from
the
Brittains
armor
,
apparrelling
her selfe
al
in
white
,
imbrodered
with
red
roses
,
that
neuer
to
the
Ladies
sight
it
admitted
no
compare
.
The
Gréeke
did
note
it
well
,
&
smiled
at
it
.
This
occasion
expected
Cupid
to
yoake
the
brest
of
warlike
Astorildo
,
that
in
scorne
of
him
had
long
time
led
his
life
:
and
so
with
the
sight
of
the
Ladies
rare
beautie
,
he
was
beset
with
new
desires
,
féeling
his
heart
subdued
.
A
wound
was
this
he
receiued
,
that
onely
death
cured
,
for
that
solely
had
power
to
remedie
it
:
for
the
Ladie
busied
her
eies
gazing
on
the
Gréek
,
he
thinking
on
Lyriana
,
in
whom
his
hopes
,
life
,
&
felicitie
consisteth
.
So
that
only
Loue
must
please
this
third
intruder
:
for
Astorildo
alreadie
loues
,
his
life
depends
on
his
alienation
:
now
he
gréeues
for
appoynting
combat
with
the
Greeke
,
séeing
it
toucheth
what
hee
adores
,
and
with
a
word
he
hath
euen
now
changed
his
opinion
,
by
beeing
in
loue
,
and
without
hope
euer
to
obtain
any
recompence
for
his
distresse
.
And
yet
the
Ladie
scorning
the
firmnesse
wherewith
he
loues
her
,
placeth
it
in
affecting
him
that
laughes
at
her
,
because
he
dotes
vpon
Lyriana
.
So
the
Ladies
sate
them
down
,
being
aboue
a
hundreth
in
number
,
daughters
to
the
chiefe
Nobles
of
the
Realme
.
When
all
were
silent
,
an
ancient
graue
man
,
for
so
he
was
that
brought
the
Tent
,
did
set
it
in
middle
of
the
hall
.
A
fairer
péece
was
neuer
séene
:
it
was
all
of
blew
Sattin
,
imbroderad
with
Artechokes
of
golde
,
set
with
so
many
stones
,
that
their
splendor
depriued
the
sight
of
it
.
At
the
doore
thereof
appeared
two
knights
richly
armed
,
that
séemed
to
challenge
the
fight
of
euery
one
present
:
within
was
séene
a
faire
throne
,
wheron
sate
a
Lady
of
excéeding
beautie
,
holding
in
her
hands
a
crowne
of
inestimable
value
.
Thus
euery
one
expecting
to
knowe
of
the
ancient
knight
the
sum
of
the
aduenture
,
the
Ladies
and
knights
yéelding
him
gratefull
audience
,
he
beganne
to
recite
the
cause
of
his
comming
,
whose
relation
deserues
a
new
Chapter
,
inferring
mee
to
intreat
of
you
,
faire
wonders
of
natures
beauties
like
attention

for
now

I
most
néede

so
worthie

.
CHAP.
XV.
How
the
knight
ending
his
relation
of
his
aduenture
,
his
knights
began
to
prooue
it
,
and
what
them
befell
.
MOst
high
and
mightie
King
of
Sylepsia
(
began
the
ancient
knight
)
in
the
Southerne
parts
and
regions
of
the
world
,
there
sometimes
dwelled
a
man
in
the
hidden
and
secret
misteries
of
Art
and
Nigromanticke
spels
the
skilfullest
of
his
time
,
whose
knowledge
and
great
wisedome
could
not
keepe
him
from
the
snares
of
deceitfull
loue
,
who
intrapt
him
with
the
beautie
of
Belisa
,
daughter
to
the
king
of
Arabia
the
Felix
,
one
of
the
fairest
Ladies
on
the
earth
,
who
gouerned
with
higher
thoughts
,
admitted
not
the
wise
Nycostratos
affection
.
He
atchiued
many
woorthie
déeds
in
her
seruice
,
yet
all
would
not
preuaile
to
mooue
the
Ladies
loue
,
nor
yet
to
shew
him
one
counterfeited
fauor
,
which
put
him
in
such
desperation
,
as
daily
he
neglected
the
estimation
of
his
credit
,
&
more
&
more
lost
his
health
.
On
this
Ladie
were
also
inamored
two
Princes
,
alike
in
valour
and
deserts
,
though
one
was
more
happie
hauing
the
Ladies
fauor
:
who
fedde
him
with
those
hopes
that
they
are
woont
to
giue
their
louers
,
al
which
was
woorse
then
death
to
the
wise
man
,
as
also
to
the
other
knight
reiected
.
So
Nycostrato
knowing
it
,
as
also
the
approach
of
his
liues
fatall
houre
,
&
finding
that
Belisa
was
cause
thereof
,
purposed
ere
he
lest
the
world
,
to
be
reuenged
,
&
so
formed
he
this
wondrous
Tent
,
where
hée
inchanted
the
Ladie
,
bereauing
her
of
iudgement
,
for
the
litle
respect
she
had
made
of
his
great
loue
.
Also
he
enchaunted
the
two
louers
to
defend
the
entrance
,
vntill
there
were
a
knight
so
amorous
and
valiant
,
but
as
vnhappie
as
eyther
,
that
by
vanquishing
might
restore
them
their
lost
libertie
.
And
Belisa
,
by
the
Lady
that
without
exception
,
best
deserued
the
tytle
of
constant
Louer
,
yet
woorse
rewarded
:
for
onely
this
&
to
be
fayrest
,
must
frée
enchaunted
Belisa
.
In
the
estate
they
be
,
they
suffer
many
torments
:
for
so
pleased
it
Nycostrato
,
the
more
to
satisfie
his
reuenge
.
That
knight
that
is
fauoured
by
Fortune
,
shall
end
the
Combat
,
must
after
leade
the
Lady
that
will
prooue
the
aduenture
.
In
many
courts
of
mightie
kings
haue
we
bene
,
hoping
to
finde
some
knight
to
set
a
periode
to
our
trauell
:
but
the
Princes
being
valiant
,
and
the
Lady
very
faire
,
none
hath
preuailed
,
no
not
so
much
as
in
the
entrance
.
Almost
dispairing
euer
to
finde
remedie
for
these
Princes
,
I
heard
of
the
famous
knight
and
bewtious
Ladyes
of
your
Court.
With
some
better
hope
I
turned
hither
,
which
I
trust
will
not
be
frustrated
,
considering
the
worthies
here
assembled
of
eyther
kinde
.
So
I
humblie
beseech
your
Maiestie
,
commaund
your
knights
vnto
the
proofe
,
for
no
small
honour
shall
hee
win
that
ends
it
.
There
were
so
many
desirous
of
it
,
as
they
expected
but
the
kings
commaund
,
among
them
were
two
of
the
kings
Coozens
,
both
louers
and
reputed
valiant
.
Many
proouing
the
entrance
,
and
loosing
it
,
made
shew
of
their
valour
,
attributing
their
losse
not
to
it
,
but
to
their
happinesse
in
loue
,
and
so
returned
with
great
comfort
,
thinking
they
had
obtained
much
thereby
.
The
Prince
of
Laronia
,
a
young
knight
,
but
a
notable
louer
,
prepared
himselfe
:
who
drawing
forth
his
sword
,
made
against
the
two
competitors
,
beginning
a
well
sought
combat
:
but
after
a
while
he
retyred
backe
,
vnable
to
endure
his
enemies
strong
blowes
.
No
longer
stayed
the
kings
two
Coozens
,
but
one
after
an
other
made
knowne
their
valour
vnto
the
beholders
,
yet
in
the
end
were
forced
to
withdraw
.
More
couragious
warriors
had
not
the
King
séene
then
those
of
the
Tent
,
who
in
lesse
then
two
houres
had
ouercome
aboue
fiftie
knights
,
besides
the
strangers
the
chiefest
of
the
land
.
Onely
now
were
left
,
the
mightie
Gréeke
,
and
Astorildo
:
who
taking
his
leaue
of
the
Gréeke
(
with
whom
he
would
not
haue
no
longer
quarels
)
drew
forth
his
sword
and
marched
towards
the
Tent.
The
Prince
was
most
skilfull
in
fence
,
and
so
marked
the
maner
how
they
kept
the
doore
,
where
carefully
fixing
his
eyes
,
flourishing
aloft
,
let
flie
2.
blows
one
after
an
other
.
They
of
the
Tent
,
stept
out
toward
them
,
which
was
to
their
euill
,
for
he
in
despite
of
them
woon
the
entrance
,
whereat
so
many
warlike
instruments
were
heard
,
as
if
some
generall
fielde
were
to
be
fought
.
All
the
Hall
did
verily
iudge
he
would
win
it
:
for
being
within
,
his
déeds
were
incredible
,
so
be
labouring
the
Louers
,
as
were
he
a
little
vnfortune
,
Galtenor
,
doubtlesse
he
had
saued
Rosabell
a
labour
.
For
one
of
the
Princes
(
being
the
beloued
)
going
to
wound
him
below
the
shield
,
Astorildo
auoiding
it
,
ran
at
him
with
so
strong
a
thrust
,
that
hee
tumbled
him
bacwards
vpon
the
steps
that
ascended
to
the
Lady
.
Being
rid
of
him
,
he
might
execute
a
blowe
vpon
the
others
helme
,
it
was
with
such
force
,
as
hee
was
forced
to
set
his
knées
vppon
the
ground
,
run
to
ouerthrow
him
he
would
,
which
was
the
losse
of
his
battell
,
for
the
other
abashed
at
his
hap
,
stept
thither
,
and
with
both
his
hands
laid
on
Astorildos
helme
,
which
made
him
stagger
,
like
to
fall
.
An
other
seconded
the
Competitor
,
with
no
lesse
might
then
that
which
made
him
set
both
hands
and
knées
on
the
earth
.
They
cast
theyr
armes
about
him
,
and
though
he
a
while
delayed
his
vanquishment
,
in
the
end
he
was
thrust
out
,
winning
more
honor
then
any
had
before
him
.
Now
was
none
left
but
Lyrianas
Princely
Louer
,
who
rising
from
his
seate
with
excellent
Maiestie
,
drew
forth
that
worthie
sworde
that
once
belonged
to
the
mightiest
and
greatest
enemie
the
Gréekes
had
.
There
was
none
,
but
with
admiration
gazed
on
the
Brytaine
,
for
his
gallant
carriage
assured
the
victorie
.
More
eyes
then
Argos
had
,
wished
the
Lady
,
to
cote
all
his
perfections
,
for
she
loued
him
dearer
then
her
life
.
With
furious
pacing
went
the
Gréeke
towards
the
Pauillion
,
whence
was
heard
,
what
neuer
was
before
,
for
the
signall
as
to
a
battell
of
seuerall
armies
was
sounded
,
with
many
shoutes
and
clamors
,
that
it
drowned
euery
ones
hearing
.
Which
being
past
,
with
more
warlike
aspect
the
two
Competitors
awaighted
their
aduersaries
comming
:
with
their
swords
aloft
they
expected
him
that
with
his
accustomed
courage
went
neare
them
:
at
once
they
discharged
2.
mightie
blowes
,
yet
bigger
they
must
be
to
hinder
him
the
entrance
,
for
with
a
leap
,
ere
they
could
again
raise
their
swords
,
he
ran
in
betwéen
them
,
and
méeting
with
the
vnbeloued
,
with
his
shoulders
thrust
him
from
him
,
fiercer
then
a
bullet
shot
from
a
musket
.
With
a
thrust
wold
the
fauorit
wound
him
,
which
the
Gréek
being
(
skilfuller
then
he
)
nimbly
auoided
,
and
discharged
his
furie
on
his
helme
.
The
enchauntment
is
vnable
to
resist
the
sharpe
edge
of
Hectors
blade
,
for
it
cut
all
the
top
,
wounding
him
a
little
on
the
head
.
Before
he
could
settle
himselfe
,
hee
turned
vpon
the
other
,
giuing
him
a
puissant
blowe
on
the
shield
.
All
that
his
sword
reached
it
cast
to
the
ground
,
leauing
his
arme
with
such
extream
paine
as
he
could
scarce
stir
it
.
Excéedingly
praised
in
the
Hall
was
the
valour
of
the
knight
of
the
Flowers
.
New
baites
for
Eufronisa
that
gaue
eare
to
them
,
with
more
affection
then
Venus
,
when
she
met
Adonis
going
to
hunt
.
Yet
now
hath
she
no
more
to
giue
him
,
hauing
done
it
all
afore
,
saue
constancie
doth
shee
procure
to
maintaine
,
wishing
him
a
happie
victorie
,
which
was
to
some
effect
,
for
the
Competitors
came
onely
to
fight
,
and
thereto
do
animate
themseleus
:
but
he
that
was
borne
in
armour
will
not
be
daunted
with
feare
,
bestowing
neuer
a
blowe
on
the
Louers
,
but
makes
them
with
hands
and
knées
kisse
the
earth
.
None
doubts
the
victorie
,
generally
giuing
it
to
the
Gréeke
,
that
like
a
Lyon
fought
betwéene
the
Competitors
.
The
vnbeloued
thrust
at
him
strongly
with
his
sword
,
thinking
to
haue
runne
him
thorow
,
so
much
he
made
him
giue
backe
,
he
seconded
an
other
,
which
was
trebled
with
a
cruell
stroke
vpon
his
head
by
the
Fauoured
.
Something
they
amazed
him
,
and
doubling
their
blowes
againe
,
made
him
set
one
knée
on
the
ground
.
Hold
on
him
to
wrastle
would
Belisas
Louer
haue
taken
,
but
Rosabell
refused
it
,
giuing
on
his
head
so
mightie
a
blowe
,
as
sencelesse
at
his
féete
he
cast
him
.
Swifter
doth
not
an
Eagle
take
her
flight
,
then
hée
turned
vpon
the
vnbeloued
,
and
twixt
his
armes
he
raised
him
aloft
,
and
breathlesse
threw
him
to
the
earth
.
A
greater
noise
did
not
Illiums
tower
make
when
it
fell
,
then
was
heard
at
the
Louers
fall
.
Ouercast
was
the
Pauillion
a
while
with
a
thicke
fogge
,
which
being
past
,
it
appeared
as
before
,
sauing
that
the
knights
lay
at
the
Ladies
féete
,
that
then
séemed
fayrer
,
hauing
an
other
Crowne
on
her
head
,
besides
that
she
held
in
her
hands
.
With
the
sound
of
heauenly
musick
there
also
appeared
the
aduenture
of
Hope
,
which
Don
Eleno
discouered
at
Esclauonia
:
and
at
the
Ladies
right
hand
,
an
old
man
that
was
iudged
to
be
Nycostrato
.
So
soone
as
the
knights
were
vanquished
,
the
auncient
knight
said
to
Rosabell
.
Most
valiant
knight
,
you
may
highly
thinke
of
your selfe
,
hauing
to
your
immortall
glory
ended
,
what
in
so
many
yeares
could
neuer
bee
attained
.
Now
remaines
,
that
the
Ladies
you
leade
,
by
you
do
prooue
the
aduenture
of
the
Crownes
,
and
I
hope
also
here
to
see
it
terminated
.
Euery
one
in
the
hall
gréeted
the
knight
of
the
Flowers
,
with
much
ioy
:
neither
exprest
nor
thought
may
that
be
,
which
Eufronisa
did
receiue
,
séeing
what
her
knight
with
such
honour
had
obtained
,
calling
her selfe
a
thousand
times
happie
,
for
placing
her
affection
on
him
.
The
proofe
of
the
Crownes
was
begun
by
the
ladies
,
with
some
feare
,
which
notwithstanding
was
lessened
by
the
Knights
company
.
One
of
the
Kings
Nieces
,
a
Lady
of
rare
bewtie
,
taking
the
Knight
by
the
hand
,
said
.
I
would
be
sorie
Sir
Knight
,
that
through
my
company
you
shuld
loose
what
euery
one
knoweth
your
valour
doth
deserue
.
That
is
it
I
feare
(
faire
Lady
)
that
my
vnfortunate
hap
may
debarre
me
from
the
honour
your
bewtie
had
assured
.
Which
being
not
so
great
as
Belisas
,
made
her
returne
without
the
Crownes
:
but
with
more
glorie
then
any
other
had
got
,
hauing
ascended
to
the
highest
step
where
the
Lady
sate
.
Euery
one
prooued
,
yet
got
little
by
it
.
I
beléeue
(
Sir
Knight
)
said
the
olde
man
,
you
haue
attained
a
troublesome
office
by
vanquishing
the
two
amorous
Knights
.
It
is
a
pleasure
(
replyed
the
Prince
)
being
in
seruice
of
Ladies
.
Now
onely
remained
Eufronisa
,
fearing
she
should
not
obtaine
the
victorie
:
iudging
the
enchaunted
Princesse
to
be
fayrer
,
yet
euery
one
was
of
contrary
opinion
,
although
the
Arabian
was
very
faire
:
but
being
so
neare
him
,
she
had
impressed
in
her
soule
,
added
bewtie
to
her
bewtie
,
that
when
she
came
to
the
tents
doore
she
séemed
Angelicall
.
She
was
not
able
,
nor
could
shee
there
otherwise
fauour
her
gallant
,
then
to
wring
him
by
the
hand
,
that
if
Lyriana
had
not
bene
possest
of
his
heart
,
it
had
bene
no
woonder
if
she
there
had
made
him
her
prisoner
.
With
a
most
solemne
consort
of
melodious
harmonie
,
were
the
two
different
Louers
receiued
.
Hauing
entered
the
Pauillion
,
many
Nymphes
strewed
all
their
way
with
swéete
odorious
flowers
,
of
whose
pleasant
smell
all
the
hall
participated
.
With
more
ioy
did
she
mount
the
staires
(
then
the
Carthage
Dydo
entred
the
Caue
,
where
she
found
her
deare
Aeneus
)
till
she
came
vnto
the
top
,
where
the
princesse
Belisa
rising
,
welcommed
her
,
and
taking
off
her
Crowne
from
her
head
,
set
it
vpon
Eufronisas
,
saying
.
This
receiue
most
excellent
Princesse
,
as
a
token
I
acknowledge
the
soueraigntie
of
your
bewtie
ouer
mine
.
And
in
assurance
of
the
excéeding
loue
I
must
beare
you
,
and
the
extreame
paine
you
shall
endure
,
take
this
at
my
hands
,
which
if
you
put
on
,
when
most
you
shall
dispaire
of
comfort
,
this
shall
giue
it
you
,
though
short
and
after
,
paine
till
death
.
But
what
thereby
shall
ensue
,
shall
for
aye
content
you
.
And
you
most
glorious
knight
,
though
Fortune
hath
hitherto
most
cruelly
persecuted
you
,
haue
courage
against
her
chaunges
,
for
you
shall
not
return
to
Greece
without
the
thing
your
soule
most
loues
.
The
Lady
had
no
sooner
ended
what
shee
would
say
,
when
on
a
sudden
the
Pauillion
vanished
,
onely
leauing
the
beloued
Prince
in
all
his
iudgement
with
the
Lady
.
A
sentence
was
proclaimed
,
wherby
was
gathered
,
that
the
vnbeloued
Lord
in
recompence
of
his
saith
,
so
ill
repayed
,
went
to
accompany
amorous
Celio
,
in
the
Castle
of
Hope
.
Euery
one
reioyced
therat
:
for
his
loue
to
Belisa
merited
some
reward
.
Who
was
most
courteously
entertained
by
the
King
with
her
beloued
Prince
,
excéeding
ioyfull
to
be
at
libertie
,
in
company
of
his
Lady
,
that
assured
his
happinesse
with
a
kinde
looke
.
The
Ladies
intreated
the
Gréeke
to
vnloose
his
helme
:
he
refused
it
,
till
Eufronisa
with
a
wincke
did
bid
him
.
He
obeyed
,
which
more
allured
the
Lady
,
his
bewtie
increased
as
much
admiration
as
his
valour
,
for
being
heated
by
the
battel
,
it
was
the
greater
.
Some
there
was
that
said
,
it
equalled
the
Ladies
,
and
hauing
as
yet
no
beard
,
and
being
like
his
mother
,
no
maruell
if
it
were
so
compared
,
making
the
Ladies
enuious
of
his
graces
.
Among
them
he
sate
him
downe
with
the
greatest
content
he
euer
receiued
,
excepting
that
his
Lady
gaue
him
,
when
she
receiued
him
as
her
husband
,
although
hee
lost
her
at
the
instant
.
There
discoursed
he
with
them
,
some
demanding
who
he
was
,
others
,
whether
he
was
in
loue
,
and
others
where
his
Lady
was
.
With
such
wit
,
and
discretion
he
answered
them
al
,
as
he
greatly
gained
theyr
good
willes
.
With
her
eyes
did
Eufronisa
speake
to
him
,
till
the
nights
approch
made
him
take
his
leaue
of
the
king
,
whose
importunities
could
not
make
him
stay
.
Softly
did
the
Lady
remember
him
of
his
promise
of
Belisa
and
her
Louer
,
he
craued
leaue
,
leauing
them
much
bound
vnto
him
,
he
demanded
of
the
knight
of
the
Griffon
,
whether
he
wold
stay
there
or
no
,
for
he
could
do
no
otherwise
but
depart
.
So
far
in
loue
was
Astorildo
,
that
he
answered
.
Sir
knight
,
in
my
soule
I
would
be
glad
of
your
company
,
gréeuing
that
I
euer
crost
you
in
your
words
:
but
at
this
time
I
am
forced
for
a
while
to
abide
in
this
countrey
,
vntill
I
bee
aduertised
the
contrary
from
mine
:
and
if
in
any
thing
my
person
or
what
I
haue
may
do
you
seruice
,
bee
assured
I
will
performe
it
with
my
life
.
The
Gréeke
gratefully
accepting
his
offer
,
departed
out
of
the
Pallace
,
and
on
his
lustie
Courser
went
out
of
the
citie
,
minding
being
more
darker
,
to
returne
and
kéepe
his
promise
.
How
he
accomplished
it
,
the
next
at
large
relateth
.
CHAP.
XVI
.
How
the
Prince
Rosabell
returned
to
the
citie
,
and
what
befell
him
,
with
the
Princesse
Eufronisa
.
WHere
I
haue
hitherto
implored
the
fauour
of
your
desired
aid
(
most
faire
and
only
worthy
to
be
most
faire
Ladies
)
to
prosecute
this
storie
to
record
of
your
fames
,
the
imaginary
grant
thereof
,
hauing
brought
me
to
this
stay
,
doubts
his
sufficiencie
farther
to
procéed
,
vnlesse
it
be
anew
allowed
,
and
sealed
with
a
pardon
,
which
for
your
owne
sakes
,
gentlenesse
and
pittie
,
I
hope
for
my selfe
I
shall
obtaine
,
being
but
the
interpreter
of
my
Authors
offence
,
committed
by
the
Gréeke
,
against
your
search
:
although
it
was
done
by
him
,
constrained
by
her
,
to
asswage
the
burning
fire
of
Eufronisas
loue
,
and
to
remooue
the
desperate
violent
passions
of
the
same
.
Whose
reading
(
oh
thinke
then
how
you
haue
pardoned
me
)
craueth
such
extenuation
,
as
patiently
you
will
not
denie
:
for
his
returne
will
offend
your
bewties
,
violating
plyted
faith
to
Lyriana
,
by
which
iniurie
,
your
worthes
cannot
but
receiue
some
detriment
.
And
so
comming
to
the
place
appointed
him
by
Selia
,
he
left
his
horse
among
the
trées
,
to
féede
alone
maisterlesse
:
although
he
was
not
long
without
one
,
for
being
so
good
,
hee
did
not
little
estéeme
him
,
that
tooke
him
thence
.
But
Rosabell
went
straight
vnto
the
ladies
garden
,
and
knocking
at
the
doore
,
Selia
opened
it
,
saying
.
Now
are
you
worthy
greater
estimation
knight
of
the
Flowers
,
th●●
you
wold
so
willingly
come
and
obserue
your
word
,
which
I
may
attribute
to
your
sufficient
vertues
.
Farre
vnworthy
of
fauour
were
hee
(
faire
damozell
)
that
would
not
know
what
happinesse
by
doing
it
is
obtained
.
Why
thou
come
with
me
(
said
she
)
for
I
le
commit
you
to
better
hands
then
mine
,
and
since
you
haue
this
day
displeased
me
,
proouing
of
the
Crownes
,
do
not
maruel
,
if
I
should
put
you
in
such
a
prison
,
as
Iupiter
would
not
leaue
the
Empire
of
the
heauens
to
liue
in
it
.
Any
thing
procéeding
from
you
(
gentle
Lady
)
I
le
accept
as
a
fauour
(
answered
the
Gréeke
)
being
assured
,
that
since
you
know
my
will
,
you
will
not
be
against
my
content
,
which
I
shall
estéeme
most
great
,
to
worke
yours
.
And
they
arriued
at
the
Ladies
lodging
,
where
they
were
forced
to
silence
,
least
they
should
be
heard
,
and
the
Prince
tooke
off
the
armor
from
his
legs
.
So
went
they
euen
where
Eufronisa
did
expect
him
fairer
then
Diana
,
yet
so
abashed
and
fearefull
,
that
though
she
saw
him
,
yet
could
not
speake
.
But
from
her
weakenesse
she
drew
strength
to
say
,
embracing
him
,
now
Loue
began
to
helpe
her
.
I
would
not
(
valiant
knight
)
haue
you
attribute
this
my
boldnesse
,
to
more
then
to
requite
what
I
am
indebted
to
you
,
hauing
this
day
to
your
high
honour
,
most
noblely
honoured
our
court
,
where
my selfe
also
had
part
(
through
your
valour
)
of
the
glorious
end
of
the
aduenture
.
In
eternall
records
of
liuing
memorie
to
succéeding
ages
shall
this
remaine
,
togither
with
this
my
wanton
déed
,
if
it
be
knowne
.
Hee
replied
.
There
nothing
happened
this
day
(
most
soueraigne
Princesse
)
but
was
atchieued
vnder
the
name
of
your
excellent
bewtie
.
And
therfore
,
vndergoing
it
as
yours
,
what
difficultie
could
happen
,
which
I
might
not
vanquish
,
to
enternize
your
glories
.
Ay
me
(
strange
Coriolano
)
were
I
assured
thereof
,
what
torment
were
so
great
,
which
I
should
not
account
a
pleasure
and
most
swéete
.
But
oh
cruell
griefe
,
it
is
thou
that
hast
conspired
with
my
malignant
starres
,
to
make
mee
explaine
my
will
before
I
know
how
it
will
be
accepted
.
Excéedingly
content
rested
I
,
séeing
you
at
the
Fountaine
,
and
conceiued
such
delight
,
that
therewith
I
liue
,
and
euer
shall
possesse
this
mancion
of
my
life
:
but
if
you
knew
or
would
vnderstand
,
with
what
paines
&
gréefes
it
was
intermixed
,
there
were
no
heart
of
Diamond
,
walled
with
Adamant
,
but
would
pittie
my
distresse
.
She
there
ended
,
raining
downe
her
christall
rubie
chéekes
,
such
a
shewer
of
liquid
pearle
,
as
it
expressed
her
soules
sorrow
.
It
was
not
vnconsidered
by
the
Brittaine
youth
,
for
he
was
M.
of
Loues
schoole
.
A
thousand
times
cursed
he
himselfe
,
complaining
against
the
blinde
guidresse
of
vnhappinesse
,
reuoluing
many
inconueniences
,
the
least
whereof
were
woorse
then
death
:
for
if
he
yéeld
to
the
Ladies
will
,
hee
sées
the
wrong
he
offers
to
his
Lyriana
,
and
if
he
do
it
not
,
hee
feares
she
is
resolued
for
aye
to
kéepe
him
there
.
Both
things
hee
ponderated
wisely
in
his
minde
,
yet
could
not
chuse
which
he
might
do
,
or
how
to
excuse
himselfe
.
Notwithstanding
of
these
euils
hee
tooke
the
lesse
,
yet
greatest
,
chusing
rather
to
suffer
a
liuing
death
,
then
to
offend
his
deare
Lyriana
:
and
so
hee
aunswered
contrarie
to
her
expectation
thus
.
I
cannot
but
confesse
(
most
excellent
Princesse
)
how
much
you
desire
to
fauor
me
,
altogither
immeritable
of
your
benefits
,
and
if
ending
the
aduenture
in
your
name
,
may
be
thought
any
seruice
,
for
euer
bee
it
happie
for
bringing
me
to
this
estate
,
wherein
if
my
woorthlesse
life
sacrificed
to
confirme
your
content
,
may
be
any
signe
of
thankfulnesse
,
behold
me
here
readie
to
yéeld
it
.
With
a
heauie
sigh
the
Lady
answered
.
Woe
be
to
thée
vnfortunate
Eufronisa
,
since
in
thy
tendrest
years
thou
haste
begunne
to
feele
the
bitter
chaunges
of
inconstant
Fortune
.
Sure
,
sure
I
am
,
I
shall
remaine
an
example
to
all
posterities
through
this
vnséemly
act
,
made
woorse
by
thy
vnciuill
vsage
.
I
do
not
require
you
cruell
knight
,
nor
will
not
haue
you
hazard
your
life
in
now
daungers
of
new
enterprises
,
onely
I
request
,
séeing
I
loue
,
(
oh
Gods
that
I
should
say
so
)
you
would
do
the
like
.
Most
faire
of
fairest
Ladies
(
replied
the
afflicted
youth
)
I
am
yours
,
and
as
such
a
one
dispose
of
me
,
for
none
with
more
will
shall
procure
your
content
.
But
yet
doe
not
bestow
your
sacred
faithfull
loue
on
so
meane
a
knight
as
I
,
both
in
conditions
,
blood
,
and
estate
,
the
which
neither
your
Princely
honour
,
fame
,
nor
dignitie
,
doth
allow
,
nor
my selfe
,
séeing
and
knowing
your
loosing
choise
,
bound
by
deserts
vnto
your
worthinesse
may
permit
,
without
infringing
the
constant
lawes
of
faith
,
hospitallitie
,
and
thankfulnesse
.
The
which
rather
then
I
will
commit
,
these
my
hands
will
I
staine
with
my
owne
blood
:
for
where
there
is
such
inequallitie
of
deserts
,
I
should
be
hated
and
abhorred
of
all
men
,
so
to
accomplish
your
languishing
desire
,
and
therefore
haue
patience
(
beauteous
Princesse
)
for
there
is
nothing
better
then
it
,
to
tollerate
these
hastie
accidents
in
Loue
.
Oh
inhumane
crueltie
(
said
the
wéeping
Ladie
)
how
much
doest
thou
extend
thy
power
against
me
?
what
auailes
it
thée
,
hard
hearted
knight
,
to
procure
my
honour
,
by
giuing
me
a
most
vntimely
death
?
So
shalt
thou
rather
be
called
an
homecide
,
then
a
man
seruitor
of
Ladies
:
wel
,
well
I
wot
,
that
my
ouer
liberall
giuing
thée
my
heart
,
mooues
thée
to
this
strangenesse
,
knowing
there
is
no
reason
in
that
breft
wher
Loue
commaundeth
:
which
were
it
in
me
,
I
could
not
but
see
the
increase
of
my
honour
by
being
silent
:
but
with
such
vehemencie
was
my
paine
augmented
,
as
I
could
no
longer
conceale
it
.
And
if
thou
knowest
what
it
is
to
loue
,
this
canst
thou
not
iudge
straunge
,
when
true
affection
could
neuer
yet
be
limitted
,
and
mine
excéeding
all
others
,
forceth
me
to
say
:
I
onely
liue
to
loue
thée
.
Héere
she
pawsed
,
vnable
to
procéede
further
,
nor
the
Prince
to
replie
,
the
one
intercepted
by
the
gréefe
the
poore
soule
indured
:
and
the
other
,
to
sée
he
caused
it
by
being
so
obstinate
and
vnrelenting
to
her
requests
.
In
the
greatest
confusion
of
the
world
was
the
Prince
in
,
to
sée
the
Lady
,
so
determined
and
amorous
,
and
he
himselfe
bereaft
of
possibilitie
to
helpe
her
.
I
hope
most
beauteous
Eufronisa
(
saide
the
Gréeke
)
this
conceiued
anger
against
mee
will
bee
pacified
,
knowing
how
long
since
,
and
afore
this
time
,
Tyrant
Loue
had
made
mée
his
tributarie
vassall
,
delighting
from
mine
infancie
with
those
that
were
toucht
with
this
euill
,
and
if
the
consideration
hereof
may
mooue
you
knowing
my
weaknesse
,
to
satisfie
your
desire
,
I
hope
you
will
desist
from
making
your selfe
guiltie
of
dishonour
.
Ayme
(
cruell
knight
answered
she
)
now
I
le
not
so
much
complaine
of
thy
disdaine
,
as
of
my
owne
lightnesse
,
séeing
what
a
capitall
and
hainous
crime
I
haue
therby
committed
,
not
onely
gainst
me
,
(
yet
that
is
no
matter
)
but
against
all
Ladies
in
the
world
besides
,
that
onely
for
the
name
deserue
to
bee
sued
and
intreated
.
But
I
(
ay
mee
,
that
I
)
as
ill
accounting
of
that
name
,
as
of
my
pure
honour
,
haue
yéelded
to
Loues
triumph
:
rather
become
a
suter
,
then
reserue
my selfe
to
bee
sued
vnto
.
And
yet
doo
not
you
thinke
,
but
I
perceiue
your
minde
is
still
busied
,
imagining
on
an
others
absence
,
this
and
many
other
things
I
knowe
by
experience
,
since
I
first
and
last
sawe
you
at
the
fountaine
.
I
do
confesse
it
all
,
and
also
my
reputations
wracke
,
but
a
resolued
mind
in
constancie
,
cannot
leaue
lo
loue
,
nor
will
I
otherwise
,
though
it
treble
my
sorrowes
eternally
.
For
this
I
did
intreat
thy
helpe
,
and
for
this
requested
thy
good
will
.
But
for
all
I
am
denied
all
;
I
wil
till
death
persist
in
this
my
pure
loue
,
and
hope
for
no
remedie
,
euermore
complaining
alike
of
my self
,
as
of
thy
most
inhumane
barbarous
cueltie
.
And
therwith
flung
out
of
the
chamber
,
bathing
her
chéekes
in
water
of
her
eyes
.
Shee
sent
him
by
Selia
some
Iuncates
of
her
owne
making
to
refresh
him
with
,
for
she
knew
he
had
eaten
nothing
all
that
day
.
She
intreated
him
to
be
answerable
to
the
Princesse
loue
,
though
it
were
but
fained
,
for
according
to
the
gréefe
that
hath
possest
her
,
I
doubt
she
will
not
liue
till
morning
:
and
consider
what
by
her
death
wil
be
imputed
to
you
,
when
you
shall
bee
called
the
murtherer
of
so
faire
a
Lady
.
I
would
to
God
(
gentle
Damzel
)
said
he
,
it
were
in
my
power
to
redresse
the
Princesse
griefe
:
but
you
know
,
being
heretofore
sworne
anothers
,
it
is
impossible
I
should
pleasure
her
,
without
committing
the
greatest
fault
that
euer
knight
hath
none
.
I
wil
no
more
importune
you
(
said
the
damzell
)
for
I
shuld
think
my selfe
much
iniuried
with
your
disdaine
:
how
much
then
a
Princesse
so
faire
and
honourable
.
That
is
it
(
replied
the
Gréeke
)
which
hinders
me
:
for
should
I
do
what
she
requires
,
it
were
but
to
satisfie
her
will
against
mine
,
which
were
the
greatest
wrong
that
might
bee
done
her
,
for
hauing
pawned
my
faith
vnto
another
,
I
cannot
violate
it
to
pleasure
her
.
The
damzel
returned
to
her
Ladie
,
leauing
the
Prince
the
most
perplexed
in
the
world
,
séeing
himselfe
in
place
where
he
could
not
vse
his
valor
.
Selia
found
the
beauteous
Eufronisa
tumbling
on
her
bed
,
drowned
in
teares
.
What
sayest
thou
my
deare
Selia
(
said
she
to
her
)
to
the
tyrannie
wherewith
that
cruel
knight
doth
vse
me
?
what
meanes
may
I
vse
?
I
my selfe
know
it
not
,
nor
doo
thinke
there
is
any
?
and
to
desist
to
loue
him
,
thou
séest
is
impossible
:
for
neither
my
affection
will
permit
,
nor
am
I
able
to
let
it
.
Shee
spied
neare
her
the
Crownes
shée
had
wonne
,
and
with
a
sigh
that
séemed
to
end
her
life
,
said
.
Oh
glorious
rewards
to
increase
my
harmes
,
you
were
the
sole
cause
of
my
vnhappinesse
.
Now
that
she
thought
the
Gréeke
to
bee
in
bed
,
not
able
to
bee
quiet
,
shee
went
alone
vnto
his
chamber
,
whose
sight
made
the
Prince
offer
quickly
to
rise
,
shee
stayed
him
,
saying
.
I
le
not
haue
thée
vse
me
with
any
of
these
ceremonious
courtesies
,
nor
is
my
comming
for
them
(
thou
cruellest
knight
that
euer
the
heauens
did
create
)
but
onely
do
I
come
,
not
to
intreat
of
thée
what
thou
shouldest
of
thy selfe
procure
,
hadst
thou
thy
perfect
iudgement
,
saue
to
demand
of
thée
two
things
,
for
with
either
of
them
shal
I
receiue
some
comfort
,
and
beléeue
me
,
they
bee
not
to
thy
preiudice
,
for
were
they
,
I
would
not
require
them
.
Most
woorthie
Princesse
,
I
nothing
more
desire
of
Fortune
answered
he
)
then
to
haue
that
occasion
offered
,
wherein
I
might
indanger
my
life
in
your
seruice
,
and
would
to
God
by
loosing
it
,
I
might
cure
your
woes
,
then
should
you
sée
with
what
willingnesse
I
would
cast
it
on
a
squadron
of
deaths
darts
:
therefore
demaund
(
faire
Ladie
)
what
you
will
,
for
I
wil
at
the
instant
accomplish
it
,
beeing
with
the
conditions
you
propounded
.
Without
them
(
most
cruell
Knight
said
she
)
who
durst
require
any
thing
of
thee
,
séeing
thy
straungenesse
and
barbarous
disdaine
so
extreame
against
me
.
The
first
thing
therefore
that
for
me
thou
must
do
,
is
,
to
tell
me
who
thou
art
,
and
the
Ladies
name
to
whom
thou
hast
rendred
that
fréely
will
of
thine
?
The
second
thing
I
le
demaund
,
this
being
knowne
,
for
séeing
I
must
be
disdained
and
forlorne
,
I
wil
know
whom
I
loue
,
and
for
whom
I
am
not
loued
.
Your
excellencie
(
sacred
Princesse
)
so
farre
vrgeth
this
matter
,
that
I
cannot
thinke
(
replied
Rosabell
)
why
you
wil
know
the
thing
,
that
being
knowne
,
I
am
sure
wil
but
augment
your
woes
.
They
cannot
be
greater
then
them
I
haue
alreadie
(
did
she
answere
)
and
therefore
you
must
not
breake
with
me
,
vnlesse
you
wil
be
as
disloyal
,
as
cruel
.
I
am
content
to
do
it
(
said
he
)
though
sure
I
am
of
your
hate
when
you
know
me
,
but
that
I
may
giue
some
ease
vnto
your
gréefes
,
I
will
kéepe
promise
.
Know
therefore
(
diuine
Ladie
)
I
am
Rosabel
of
Brittaine
,
son
to
the
Gréeke
Prince
Rosicle●
,
and
his
Princesse
Oliuia
,
espoused
vnto
Lyriana
Princesse
of
Nyquea
,
and
he
that
in
nothing
wil
take
more
felicitie
,
then
to
procure
your
content
.
But
will
you
not
(
excellent
Princesse
)
force
mee
beeing
so
inraged
,
to
breake
that
faith
I
vowed
on
her
hands
to
be
true
Louer
.
And
now
may
you
sée
what
reason
mooued
me
to
bee
so
obdurate
,
finding
that
any
remedie
from
me
,
can
but
dishonour
you
.
And
is
it
possible
knight
(
said
she
)
that
you
are
sonne
to
the
famous
knight
of
Cupid
,
whose
woorthie
déeds
and
loues
haue
with
immortal
fame
filled
all
the
world
,
Wel
,
had
I
no
other
cause
,
but
that
you
are
sonne
to
such
a
father
,
it
were
sufficient
to
make
mee
loue
you
till
death
.
I
only
intreat
your
leaue
,
being
alone
&
opprest
with
these
extream
passions
,
I
may
disburthen
my
cares
,
by
séeing
the
vnhappie
Eufronisa
is
yours
,
for
so
I
shall
receiue
some
rest
.
Whereto
he
answered
.
Most
soueraigne
Ladie
,
Princesse
of
Sylepsia
,
you
sée
what
litle
power
is
in
me
,
to
graunt
you
that
license
,
for
hauing
no
interest
in
my selfe
,
I
cannot
without
her
will
graunt
any
such
thing
.
Then
(
saide
shée
)
tell
mée
where
she
kéepes
,
for
I
le
send
to
her
for
it
?
So
enuious
hath
fortune
béene
to
my
content
,
that
yet
that
I
cannot
say
,
not
knowing
it
,
because
she
rest
her
from
my
hands
.
Well
,
well
,
(
replied
the
Ladie
,
chopping
her
words
in
the
middle
,
and
drowning
them
with
teares
)
because
I
aske
,
I
sée
it
is
impossible
I
should
knowe
it
,
least
I
might
receiue
some
little
comfort
thereby
.
And
since
the
earth
cannot
affoord
me
any
,
the
second
thing
that
you
for
me
must
do
,
since
you
haue
promised
it
,
and
vowed
by
the
faith
of
a
knight
,
is
,
that
with
this
dagger
you
bereaue
me
of
my
despised
life
,
séeing
your
sight
gaue
me
so
many
deaths
:
do
not
denie
it
,
for
you
haue
promised
it
,
and
if
you
do
,
be
sure
I
le
trauell
through
the
world
,
proclaiming
your
disloyaltie
.
And
so
she
drew
foorth
a
dagger
from
vnder
her
gowne
,
and
with
manly
courage
she
put
it
in
his
hands
,
saying
.
Through
my
breast
hewe
foorth
a
passage
for
my
soule
(
most
cruell
knight
)
and
yet
I
will
not
haue
you
make
the
wound
vpon
my
heart
,
least
you
should
hurt
your selfe
,
modelde
in
the
middest
thereof
.
The
Gréeke
tooke
it
,
so
amazed
,
that
he
knew
not
where
he
was
.
But
the
resolute
Ladie
immediately
discouered
her
brests
,
the
purest
work
that
euer
nature
wroght
.
Make
an
end
thou
fellon-stealer
of
my
libertie
,
to
giue
me
som
content
by
this
expected
death
,
and
stain
with
blood
this
constant
obiect
of
thine
eyes
.
Oh
rare
force
of
loue
(
faire
Ladies
)
whose
power
consisting
on
extreames
,
makes
all
things
else
séeme
madnesse
,
being
compared
to
it
.
Oh
,
who
would
not
be
mooued
,
séeing
the
Greeke
holding
the
dagger
in
his
hand
,
sitting
on
his
bedde
,
yet
ranging
with
his
thoughts
on
Lyriana
,
and
the
Ladie
vrging
him
to
hasten
the
deadly
stroke
?
Oh
cruell
inexecable
knight
(
said
shee
)
wilt
thou
yet
in
this
torment
me
?
make
an
end
at
once
,
with
one
swéete
death
to
end
the
many
I
suffer
,
Rosabell
being
the
sole
cause
.
In
not
doing
this
(
most
Princelesse
Ladie
)
I
neither
commit
disloyaltie
(
said
the
Prince
)
nor
breake
my
word
,
for
I
le
rather
loose
my
life
,
then
spill
yours
.
So
excéeding
great
was
the
gréef
that
suddainly
surprised
her
,
that
stopping
her
breath
,
and
benumming
all
her
artires
and
vsuall
powers
,
she
fell
on
the
Gréekes
brests
.
The
greatest
proofe
of
constancie
was
this
,
that
euer
knight
was
tried
withall
,
and
had
hee
continued
it
,
no
doubt
but
the
example
of
it selfe
had
béene
a
sufficient
memorating
marble
to
record
a
déed
so
famous
.
I
do
not
wonder
if
he
beganne
something
to
yéeld
,
and
ioyne
his
face
to
hers
,
(
fairer
then
Apollos
)
halfe
resolued
to
accomplish
her
request
.
Ere
he
was
fully
determined
,
which
wanted
but
little
,
shee
recouered
her selfe
,
and
séeing
she
was
so
vsed
,
conceiued
an
vnhoped
ioy
,
féeling
the
heate
of
his
chéekes
on
hers
,
neuerthelesse
with
many
sighes
shee
said
.
How
is
it
possible
,
tell
me
knight
,
thou
shouldest
still
harbour
such
crueltie
,
as
suffer
me
to
languish
in
such
paine
,
which
thou
mayest
remedie
by
taking
away
the
life
I
abhorre
?
That
thou
wert
cruel
and
inexorable
,
farre
more
then
Hyrcanian
beasts
,
poore
haplesse
Eufronisa
knowes
it
long
sithence
by
experience
.
But
that
thou
wantest
loyaltie
and
faith
to
obserue
thy
word
,
who
can
beléeue
it
of
so
mightie
a
Prince
?
I
do
confesse
(
faire
Princesse
)
answered
he
,
I
do
offend
my selfe
not
doing
it
,
yet
the
offence
is
greater
against
both
,
and
woorthily
I
then
deserue
the
title
of
a
cruell
homecide
:
but
that
you
may
not
longer
complaine
of
me
,
grant
time
till
to
morrow
,
to
be
resolued
in
those
extreames
,
and
then
I
will
reply
to
your
content
.
It
pleaseth
me
(
aunswered
she
)
although
one
daies
stay
will
I
feare
kill
me
outright
,
with
this
vehement
and
cruell
griefe
.
But
I
must
suffer
,
being
borne
to
doo
it
,
and
you
disloyall
and
faithlesse
knight
,
consider
well
what
you
determine
,
for
séeing
you
haue
denied
me
death
,
these
hands
shall
be
guiltie
of
it
in
your
sight
,
when
your
preuention
shall
want
spéede
to
stay
my
execution
.
And
thervpon
she
went
away
,
where
had
shee
stayed
,
and
once
againe
vrged
it
,
no
longer
then
that
instant
had
béen
ynough
to
answere
,
for
the
Gréeke
resembled
his
Grandfather
in
these
affaires
:
he
had
alreadie
pondred
the
Ladies
beautie
and
her
woorthes
,
in
such
sort
,
that
some
of
her
distilling
teares
mollifying
his
obdured
heart
with
such
tendernesse
,
that
he
forgot
Lyriana
.
His
light
vanished
with
her
absence
.
With
many
wishes
hee
desired
the
happie
appointed
night
.
Little
did
he
striue
with
his
thoughts
how
to
be
resolued
,
for
ere
she
went
away
,
was
the
haughtie
Brittaine
in
minde
agréed
.
With
more
rest
stéepes
Eufronisa
then
Rosabell
.
Accidents
be
these
ordered
by
the
blinde
God
,
vnderstood
of
none
but
him
,
although
the
soule
suffers
them
,
and
yet
cannot
he
,
nor
will
conceiue
by
whose
appoyntment
it
happens
:
a
iust
reward
for
his
disloyaltie
,
since
nothing
should
haue
béene
able
to
make
him
erre
against
his
deare
Lyriana
,
that
with
such
generositie
receiued
him
for
her
espowse
,
her
Lord
and
husband
.
The
Ladie
returned
glad
with
the
hope
of
her
expected
good
to
Selia
,
and
tolde
her
euerie
thing
that
happened
.
With
some
content
they
entertained
the
expectation
of
her
ioy
.
By
chance
,
and
it
was
a
happie
chance
,
the
Ladie
tooke
one
of
the
crowns
that
she
had
wonne
in
the
Tent
,
and
set
it
on
her
head
,
it
was
that
which
Belisa
gaue
her
,
to
comfort
her
in
her
distresse
.
Hauing
it
on
,
she
séemed
farre
more
beautifull
,
and
somewhat
elder
.
The
vertue
of
the
Crowne
beganne
his
operation
.
Selia
was
amazed
,
and
plucking
her
by
the
arme
,
said
.
Bee
still
(
Madame
)
for
sée
the
fairest
aduenture
in
the
world
,
for
this
Crowne
hath
power
to
disguise
the
face
,
and
beléeue
me
,
you
are
not
like
Eufronisa
.
Peace
foole
(
said
the
Ladie
)
it
is
but
Loues
deuise
,
and
thy
wittes
conceits
.
Then
do
not
credit
me
(
replied
Selia
)
but
the
euidence
wherewith
I
prooue
it
.
So
she
fetcht
her
a
looking-glasse
,
and
setting
it
before
her
,
said
.
Here
(
Madame
)
may
you
sée
the
Crownes
effect
.
She
could
not
but
laugh
,
séeing
her
countenance
altered
,
and
betwéene
them
both
they
iarred
,
whether
she
so
were
fairest
or
not
.
Then
she
remembred
Belisas
words
in
the
Tent
,
that
there
she
should
finde
remedie
in
her
greatest
necessitie
.
Shee
could
not
imagine
whose
semblance
she
represented
.
They
would
no
longer
deferre
the
knowledge
of
so
happie
businesse
:
so
hand
in
hand
they
went
into
a
gallerie
,
called
the
Ladies
Treasurie
,
because
therein
were
the
pictures
of
most
in
the
world
.
This
was
a
curiositie
the
king
for
his
pleasure
had
made
.
Many
they
sawe
most
faire
,
and
they
were
those
that
in
Grecia
then
flourished
:
but
passing
further
,
they
perceiued
their
deceit
,
finding
Lyriana
,
whose
beautie
she
possest
.
They
read
the
title
,
which
tolde
them
she
was
Princesse
of
Nyquea
,
to
the
greatest
ioy
that
euer
Eufronisa
did
conceiue
.
Shee
embraced
Selia
,
saying
.
Oh
my
Selia
,
the
heauens
now
will
take
my
part
,
for
knowe
,
the
Lady
that
hath
captiuated
this
knight
,
is
she
whom
I
represent
hauing
on
this
Crowne
:
and
by
this
deuise
,
meane
I
(
nothing
thanking
him
)
to
fulfill
my
desire
,
although
he
haue
promised
me
an
answere
to
morrow
.
And
if
I
can
,
with
this
deceit
I
le
craue
no
answere
,
séeing
it
must
come
with
so
many
paines
and
grones
.
And
sée
my
Selia
,
how
my
suspition
at
the
fountaine
is
verified
,
that
he
was
not
him
hee
said
,
for
he
is
son
vnto
the
famous
knight
of
Cupid
,
and
betrothed
to
this
Princesse
,
and
so
I
thinke
I
may
stand
excused
for
this
my
boldenesse
.
Well
knew
she
it
,
that
in
the
inchanted
Tent
tolde
me
,
that
though
therby
I
should
obtain
greatest
good
,
yet
would
it
be
intermixt
with
infinite
troubles
.
Ioyfully
returned
the
two
Ladies
vnto
their
chamber
,
expecting
the
next
morne
,
to
deceiue
him
that
was
alreadie
deceiued
,
repenting
him
of
the
disdaine
hee
shewed
.
The
newe
crowned
Ladie
entred
his
lodging
,
to
giue
him
the
good
time
of
the
day
.
The
Gréeke
had
scarce
séene
her
,
when
falling
in
the
deceipt
,
he
tooke
her
to
bee
Lyriana
,
and
with
great
tendernesse
he
ran
to
her
,
saying
.
May
it
be
deare
Ladie
,
that
in
time
of
such
sorrow
you
would
be
pleased
to
glad
my
heart
with
your
presence
.
How
ill
should
I
requite
your
loue
deare
Lord
(
saide
the
mistaken
Ladie
)
if
I
did
not
procure
your
content
,
being
able
as
at
this
time
,
and
though
I
be
with
you
,
yet
none
knowes
of
it
.
The
Gréeke
Louer
embraced
her
,
thinking
he
enioyed
his
Lyrianas
companie
,
which
made
Eufronisa
most
glad
to
sée
the
effect
of
the
pleasant
deceit
.
What
happened
by
this
méeting
,
is
left
to
honest
consideration
.
Onely
Galtenor
saith
,
the
Ladie
forgot
her
paines
,
enioying
many
daies
the
fruition
of
the
Gréeke
Louers
bedde
vnder
that
deuise
,
telling
him
that
a
wise
man
her
great
friend
,
had
for
some
time
fetcht
her
out
of
the
inchantment
,
to
accompany
him
in
that
distresse
.
Much
bound
did
the
Prince
thinke
himselfe
to
him
for
so
good
a
turne
.
So
farre
wrought
the
vertue
of
the
Crowne
,
that
all
the
time
shee
enioyed
him
by
that
deceit
,
the
Gréeke
could
comprehend
no
more
,
but
tooke
what
Fortune
offered
him
.
At
length
Eufronisa
iudging
it
reason
to
let
him
go
,
féeling
her selfe
with
childe
,
conferred
with
Selia
that
approoued
it
.
Shee
tooke
off
the
Crown
,
kissing
it
a
thousand
times
,
for
hauing
enioyed
by
it
her
harts
content
.
She
had
no
sooner
set
it
by
the
other
,
when
it
was
presently
taken
away
,
not
knowing
by
whose
hands
.
A
voyce
shée
heard
,
which
thus
comforted
her
.
Haue
patience
Ladie
,
for
the
heauens
will
haue
it
so
,
and
till
you
knowe
the
fruite
that
by
this
deceit
shall
rise
,
neuer
looke
to
sée
it
more
.
So
soone
as
it
was
taken
away
,
the
Gréek
thought
all
that
he
had
past
but
a
dreame
,
hauing
scarce
the
remembrance
thereof
.
What
time
hée
had
so
spent
he
knew
not
,
but
stayed
for
the
Ladies
comming
to
giue
her
his
answere
,
which
shee
determined
to
refuse
,
because
shee
would
not
be
bound
vnto
him
for
it
.
She
entred
his
chamber
with
her
damzell
,
thus
speaking
.
How
are
you
determined
(
most
cruell
knight
of
the
Flowers
)
that
according
to
your
resolution
,
she
may
liue
that
loues
you
.
He
answered
.
I
am
sure
(
excellent
Princesse
)
you
haue
had
time
to
consider
the
wrong
you
do
me
,
to
inforce
me
breake
my
word
:
yet
I
am
yours
,
and
will
bee
till
the
death
,
and
so
may
you
dispose
of
mee
at
your
pleasure
.
Whereto
she
thus
returned
.
Euer
since
(
most
glorious
Prince
of
Greece
)
that
Fortune
or
the
powers
of
Loue
made
my
heart
obedient
to
your
will
,
I
onely
procured
but
a
graunt
from
your
mouthe
,
by
so
many
meanes
as
you
haue
séene
,
solely
deuised
to
affect
you
,
and
that
you
might
knowe
I
loue
you
.
And
since
you
are
assured
thereof
,
and
now
to
comfort
my
sorrowes
in
your
absence
,
I
wil
haue
you
leaue
with
me
some
remembrance
,
and
let
it
be
your
dagger
,
for
which
you
shal
haue
mine
,
that
wherewith
I
intreated
you
to
end
my
life
,
which
now
I
le
kéepe
to
imploy
it
in
your
loue
:
and
beléeue
me
(
braue
Prince
)
while
this
soule
shal
haue
power
to
breath
,
this
affection
shall
neuer
decay
.
And
therewith
,
with
excéeding
ioy
she
embraced
him
,
and
taking
his
ponyard
,
she
gaue
him
hers
,
bidding
him
prepare
his
departure
against
the
next
morning
.
The
Prince
did
so
,
somewhat
abashed
to
haue
béen
so
importuned
.
Hee
tooke
his
leaue
of
the
Ladies
not
without
many
teares
,
for
trust
mee
,
hee
was
beloued
in
the
highest
degrée
that
euer
knight
was
.
A
verie
rich
Iewell
the
Ladie
gaue
him
at
his
departure
.
All
armed
in
precious
armour
,
and
mounted
on
a
lustie
Courser
,
giuen
him
by
Eufronisa
,
hee
went
out
of
the
famous
Cittie
of
Golthuerge
,
whose
departure
she
tooke
most
heauily
:
yet
some
comfort
she
conceiued
to
be
big
with
childe
by
him
.
Straight
the
two
Ladies
beganne
to
deuise
how
they
might
kéepe
close
Eufronisas
trauell
,
who
being
a
straunger
to
such
matters
,
gréeued
thereat
.
Onely
this
consolation
she
tooke
,
to
looke
from
the
toppe
of
a
high
turret
towards
Grecia
,
whither
her
ioy
was
gone
,
calling
it
a
heauie
land
to
bring
forth
such
fruite
.
Thus
this
bewtious
Lady
passed
away
the
season
vntill
her
time
of
deliuerie
,
which
being
the
first
,
she
felt
extreamely
.
She
was
deliuered
of
two
boyes
,
the
fairest
that
the
heauens
created
:
for
he
which
was
first
brought
forth
,
had
on
the
face
of
a
Lady
,
fairer
then
the
sunnes
Splendor
in
his
pride
.
The
other
a
heart
thrust
through
with
a
dagger
,
with
the
wound
so
fresh
as
it
séemed
then
to
bléed
.
Selia
shewed
them
her
,
saying
.
Reioyce
faire
Princesse
,
with
the
issue
sprung
from
that
deceit
,
which
is
such
,
that
it
frées
you
from
any
fault
.
The
tender
mother
embraced
and
kist
them
,
saying
.
Oh
,
may
the
powerfull
heauens
deare
children
of
my
heart
,
let
you
liue
to
know
your
warlike
father
:
for
though
he
vsed
me
with
all
crueltie
,
yet
are
you
his
sonnes
.
Blesse
you
may
the
Gods
,
&
make
you
as
happie
as
I
am
vnhappie
,
although
I
may
now
call
my selfe
the
happiest
on
the
earth
,
onely
by
being
your
mother
.
So
carefull
Selia
,
tooke
them
away
,
and
through
a
secret
doore
in
the
garden
,
she
gaue
them
to
the
old
ancient
knight
,
to
see
them
nursed
in
some
Village
.
At
their
carriage
away
,
a
thousand
kisses
and
blessings
did
the
louing
mother
giue
them
,
as
diuining
the
long
time
shee
should
be
ere
againe
she
saw
them
.
With
much
care
did
the
olde
knight
carrie
them
to
a
Village
,
where
he
had
prepared
a
nurse
for
them
.
That
hee
might
passe
more
couertly
,
he
cros●
the
Forrest
,
bearing
the
children
in
two
baskets
on
a
litle
Asse
,
by
the
way
hee
rested
,
and
tooke
downe
the
boyes
to
quiet
them
from
crying
.
Scarce
had
he
done
,
when
a
chased
Lyon
ran
thitherward
,
being
hunted
by
shéepheards
,
with
their
dogs
.
The
knights
age
and
the
Lyons
sight
,
put
him
in
such
feare
as
he
fell
downe
in
a
trance
.
As
then
the
cruel
beast
ment
not
to
take
any
pray
,
but
to
escape
his
pursuers
.
In
this
manner
lay
the
old
man
and
the
children
crying
for
hunger
,
when
by
great
chaunce
a
mightie
Lord
dwelling
on
the
confines
of
Sylepsia
,
past
that
way
with
his
wife
,
that
had
bene
at
the
Cittie
to
to
sée
the
tryumphes
there
.
With
them
was
an
auncient
Lady
,
lately
deliuered
of
a
childe
,
that
dyed
in
Golthuerge
.
So
soone
as
the
Lords
wife
saw
the
children
,
and
hauing
none
her selfe
,
tooke
such
affection
on
the
babes
,
séeing
theyr
woonderfull
bewtie
,
that
she
commaunded
the
other
Lady
carefully
to
nurse
and
bring
them
vp
.
In
this
manner
were
these
two
Infants
carried
by
this
Lord
,
and
tendered
as
his
owne
.
He
that
had
the
Ladies
face
,
they
named
Clarabell
.
And
the
other
with
the
wounded
heart
,
Leobello
.
Who
so
grew
in
yeares
and
bewtie
,
that
they
were
accounted
children
of
the
Godds
.
Where
we
will
leaue
them
,
nourished
by
the
good
Knight
Sergio
,
for
so
was
hee
called
,
omitting
also
their
afflicted
mothers
sorrow
for
theyr
losse
:
and
a
while
must
remember
the
mightie
dispayring
knight
Claridiano
of
the
Sphere
,
already
departed
from
Croatia
.
CHAP.
XVII
.
What
aduenture
the
Prince
Claridiano
met
in
the
Ile
of
Creet
,
where
he
disinchaunted
his
Vnckle
Claramant
.
FOr
a
while
(
faire
Ladies
)
I
am
constrained
to
leaue
Loues
amorous
discourses
,
and
trust
mee
,
with
some
gréefe
:
but
hauing
to
treate
of
many
things
,
I
must
describe
them
with
diuers
styles
.
And
now
the
warlike
Gréeke
,
with
an
Adamantiue
power
,
attrackts
me
to
lighten
him
from
the
darke
center
of
obliuion
:
who
departing
from
the
most
bewteous
Venus
,
and
gallant
Laysa
,
lanched
into
the
Adriaticke
sea
,
downe
the
which
,
hee
Nauigated
foure
dayes
:
and
the
fift
,
hee
crossed
into
the
Affrican
,
and
happening
on
no
aduenture
deseruing
memorie
,
he
put
into
the
Carpachian
and
Egeum
seas
:
where
sayling
some
fiftéene
dayes
,
his
enchaunted
Barke
ran
it selfe
on
land
,
in
the
Ile
of
Creete
,
(
now
Candy
)
the
happiest
and
fertilest
in
all
those
partes
,
because
Ioue
was
borne
and
raigned
there
.
A
shore
leaped
he
and
Palisandro
his
Squire
,
and
landed
theyr
horses
.
The
commonest
way
that
they
could
iudge
,
they
tooke
,
and
did
ride
aboue
an
houre
,
méeting
with
none
to
learne
in
what
land
they
were
.
Vnder
a
high
Pyne
they
dismounted
to
rest
and
passe
the
heate
of
the
afternoone
,
eating
of
such
prouision
as
Palisandro
had
carried
from
the
Barke
.
The
pleasantnesse
of
the
countrey
much
delighted
the
Prince
,
although
it
was
such
little
comfort
to
the
paines
he
suffered
,
that
were
it
not
for
Palisandros
consolations
,
hee
had
without
doubt
run
into
excessiue
dangers
.
As
he
sat
downe
,
certaine
shéepheards
came
that
way
,
driuing
their
flocks
to
féed
on
the
downes
,
belowe
a
hillocke
neare
to
that
place
.
They
told
him
,
how
he
was
in
the
famous
I
le
of
Creet
,
of
which
hee
had
heard
so
many
things
.
It
much
pleased
him
,
to
heare
the
shéepheards
name
the
aduenture
of
the
thrée
Pypes
:
for
though
hee
had
heard
thereof
,
he
neuer
knew
it
to
be
in
Creete
:
to
bee
assured
thereof
,
he
demanded
of
them
thus
.
Can
you
tell
me
discréete
shéepheards
,
the
beginning
of
this
aduenture
?
who
made
it
,
and
for
whom
?
That
which
now
is
said
thereof
(
Syr
Knight
)
is
,
that
not
many
yeares
since
,
this
aduenture
appeared
here
,
where
(
it
is
said
)
there
is
onely
one
of
the
famousest
Princes
of
the
world
inchaunted
:
whose
strength
is
also
giuen
out
farre
to
excéede
Theseus
,
so
celebrated
in
this
Ile
,
for
killing
of
the
Minotaure
.
So
difficult
is
the
entrance
to
the
Fountaine
,
called
of
the
thrée
Pypes
,
that
none
,
though
many
mightie
knights
procured
it
,
haue
arriued
thither
.
Onely
there
is
one
entrance
,
so
surely
guarded
,
as
it
is
thought
impossible
to
passe
that
way
by
force
of
armes
,
all
the
rest
is
immured
with
so
high
a
wall
of
stones
,
cut
so
smoothe
,
that
there
is
no
ascending
nor
entrance
,
but
through
the
difficult
passage
,
which
is
a
little
beneath
your
hill
.
I
do
greatly
thanke
you
(
kind
shéepheards
)
for
your
courteous
relation
,
and
will
requite
it
in
any
thing
I
may
.
So
they
went
away
,
leauing
him
conferring
with
his
squire
about
the
proouing
thereof
,
for
he
much
desired
to
know
the
Prince
that
was
within
.
The
squire
would
not
gainsay
it
,
knowing
his
valor
sufficient
for
greater
matters
.
Then
hauing
a
while
rested
,
they
followed
the
shéepheards
direction
,
within
a
little
time
they
came
in
sight
of
the
stupendious
Edefice
.
Neuer
before
had
the
Prince
séene
a
thing
more
worthy
admiration
then
it
:
for
it
séemed
to
checke
the
most
highest
Clowdes
.
The
passage
to
it
,
was
along
a
faire
Valley
,
a
stones
cast
in
length
,
whose
entrance
was
through
a
Lane
of
mightie
trées
,
whose
innumerable
thicke
branches
ioyning
togither
,
did
well
declare
the
difficult
passage
.
Without
any
feare
Trebatios
haughtie
Nephew
arriued
thither
,
not
far
fro
the
Groue
that
leaded
to
the
Fountaine
,
of
which
the
aduenture
tooke
his
name
.
The
breadth
of
the
way
that
the
Prince
went
,
would
suffer
but
sir
knights
to
go
it
togither
:
the
which
,
as
one
prepared
to
the
fight
,
the
mightie
youth
traced
.
So
comming
to
the
end
of
the
Lane
where
the
Vallies
entrance
began
,
he
was
not
so
amazed
with
the
battell
he
had
against
the
hellish
beast
at
Merlins
sepulchre
,
as
séeing
here
one
of
the
fearefullest
winged
Serpents
that
might
be
.
He
stayed
himselfe
,
to
bethinke
him
by
what
meanes
hee
might
combat
with
the
vgly
monster
.
In
the
end
he
resolued
to
be
best
on
foote
,
the
better
to
vse
his
nimblenesse
and
weapons
,
so
did
he
dismount
,
giuing
Palisandro
his
horse
,
and
taking
his
Lance
in
his
hand
,
and
with
his
heart
in
heauen
,
he
marched
towards
the
infernall
monster
:
the
which
séeing
him
come
,
stretched
her self
on
the
ground
,
and
raising
halfe
her
body
,
hissing
fearfully
,
crept
against
the
Gréeke
,
who
with
that
discréetnesse
he
vsed
in
all
his
affaires
,
setling
himselfe
strongly
on
his
left
leg
,
hurled
his
Launce
at
her
.
Vpon
her
inpenitrable
scales
wherewith
she
was
armed
,
it
fell
,
rebounding
backe
as
if
it
had
lighted
vpon
a
Rocke
.
Neuerthelesse
,
it
made
her
bend
her
head
as
lowe
as
the
ground
.
With
a
nimble
leape
he
got
within
the
beasts
Cabbin
,
where
there
began
such
hideous
outcries
,
that
he
was
about
a
thousand
times
to
turne
backe
,
but
iudging
it
base
cowardise
,
with
his
sword
drawne
he
expected
the
serpents
comming
.
Neuer
was
that
I
le
witnesse
of
a
more
brauer
Combat
.
In
it
the
Gréekes
dexteritie
auailes
him
,
for
the
edge
of
his
sword
can
make
no
impression
in
her
.
He
found
it
,
when
at
his
first
assault
,
he
gaue
her
a
mightie
blowe
on
the
scales
.
Whipping
the
earth
with
her
taile
,
came
the
furious
Serpent
against
the
Gréeke
youth
:
and
being
neare
him
,
with
her
mouth
he
would
haue
hoysed
him
aloft
:
he
defended
himselfe
stepping
aside
,
so
scaping
her
clawes
,
but
not
her
taile
,
wherewith
shee
gaue
him
such
ayerke
,
that
she
floong
him
farre
without
the
entrance
he
had
woon
.
More
furious
then
shee
rysed
the
Gréeke
Hercules
bruised
with
the
fall
,
and
with
hastie
paces
hee
ranne
againe
vnto
the
entrance
,
but
there
hee
founde
the
Serpent
.
Fearelesse
,
the
valiant
Gréeke
approached
to
her
,
holding
his
sword
sure
betwéene
his
hands
.
He
had
scarce
made
an
offer
,
when
the
diuellish
furious
Serpent
snatcht
at
his
shield
with
one
of
her
fangs
,
dragging
him
thereby
,
within
her
inchaunted
pale
,
vntill
she
brake
the
girts
.
It
gréeued
not
the
Prince
to
be
there
,
nor
yet
to
haue
lost
his
shield
,
but
with
his
sword
in
both
hands
,
stayed
for
her
that
furiously
came
flying
to
him
;
she
stretcht
forth
her
paw
to
take
him
with
her
sharpe
clawes
.
With
much
héed
the
Prince
expected
her
,
and
being
neare
,
with
a
flourish
,
he
gaue
her
a
most
strong
blowe
.
It
was
venturous
,
and
that
which
gaue
him
the
victorie
.
For
discharging
it
very
neare
her
breast
,
where
the
scales
were
not
so
hard
,
it
mortally
wounded
her
.
No
hellish
furie
is
now
comparable
to
her
being
wounded
,
for
striking
the
earth
,
she
flew
to
the
Gréeke
,
whose
courage
and
strength
could
not
now
defend
him
from
her
tayle
:
for
therewith
she
strook
him
to
the
ground
,
where
also
he
could
not
scape
her
tallents
.
His
armor
saued
his
life
,
though
some
of
the
ioynts
ran
into
his
flesh
.
The
Gréeke
in
this
extremitie
forgot
not
his
dagger
,
which
drawing
forth
with
his
left
hand
,
he
stabbed
it
thrise
vnder
her
necke
,
with
which
wounds
she
let
him
go
.
But
she
had
no
sooner
done
it
,
when
she
returned
vpon
him
,
opening
wide
her
infernall
mouth
.
He
strongly
held
his
left
arme
,
and
holding
the
point
of
his
dagger
vpwards
,
he
ran
it
into
her
mouth
,
whereon
she
thinking
to
pray
,
twixt
her
iawes
,
shee
thrust
it
into
her
braines
.
With
some
trouble
the
Gréeke
drew
it
forth
,
glad
of
the
good
successe
:
yet
before
he
got
cleare
,
or
that
she
fell
,
with
her
taile
she
gaue
him
the
last
yerke
,
in
such
manner
,
that
had
she
bene
able
to
second
an
other
,
he
had
bene
in
great
daunger
.
He
fell
on
the
ground
,
voiding
much
blood
through
his
mouth
.
The
like
to
that
the
Gréeke
Louer
neuer
had
receiued
.
He
rose
,
because
carelesly
he
would
not
loose
what
his
valour
assured
.
And
saw
the
serpent
weltring
in
her
owne
goare
,
till
by
little
and
little
she
dyed
,
to
the
Gréekes
excéeding
content
:
who
to
rest
,
sate
him
downe
vnder
a
loftie
oake
that
grew
in
the
end
of
that
Lane
,
and
tooke
off
his
helme
to
take
the
ayre
,
that
then
freshly
blew
.
On
the
bark
of
the
Oake
he
saw
a
scrowle
,
which
he
read
thus
.
To
thee
Knight
,
whom
Fortune
hath
so
fauoured
,
as
ouercomming
the
feareful
keeper
of
the
entrance
vnto
the
three
Pyped
Fountaine
to
let
thee
here
arriue
to
rest
,
haue
courage
,
for
it
must
ende
what
yet
doth
want
.
The
words
did
not
so
much
feare
him
,
as
the
doubt
whether
hee
should
haue
to
do
with
knights
on
whom
he
might
better
shew
his
valour
.
Long
would
not
Archysiloras
Louer
rest
,
for
presently
rising
he
tooke
his
shéeld
,
and
casting
it
at
his
backe
,
went
downe
the
Valley
.
Great
comfort
did
hee
receiue
with
the
byrds
swéete
harmony
that
welcommed
him
,
where
Philomelas
sad
complaints
increased
his
,
and
the
Larkes
swéete
song
(
the
mornings
Herault
)
eased
his
trauell
.
A
more
pleasanter
place
the
Prince
had
neuer
séene
,
for
besides
the
flowrie
Tapestry
,
the
diuersitie
of
all
manner
of
frutefull
trees
were
so
many
,
and
in
such
order
placed
,
that
Nature
mistresse
of
inuention
,
séemed
there
to
striue
with
Art
(
the
adorner
of
her
wants
)
for
soueraigntie
.
Euery
thing
the
prince
considered
not
,
omitting
the
dear
remembrance
of
his
soules
commandresse
,
fayre
Archysilora
.
He
made
such
haste
,
that
about
the
second
houre
after
mid-day
,
hee
arriued
to
the
famous
Fountaine
,
whose
proud
making
,
much
amazed
him
.
For
the
Pypes
through
which
the
water
ran
,
were
thrée
mightie
sauages
,
cut
in
Alablaster
,
whiter
then
the
snowe
(
vppon
the
Appenines
)
all
guilded
and
inamelled
.
Vnder
the
thrée
pypes
was
a
faire
great
Cesterne
,
where
she
little
byrdes
flew
to
drinke
.
Before
it
stood
a
brazen
Piller
with
this
insciption
.
The
vnknowne
Castle
shall
be
seene
by
none
,
vntill
the
dispayring
Lyon
,
freeing
the
passage
to
his
owne
bloods
cost
,
shall
arriue
vnto
this
Piller
:
where
to
passe
forward
,
he
must
leaue
heere
some
peece
of
his
Armor
.
The
Prince
a
good
while
doubted
which
it
should
be
.
In
the
ende
he
resolued
to
leaue
his
shéeld
.
He
hung
it
on
the
Piller
,
and
straight
went
on
,
discouering
before
him
the
stately
buildings
,
so
high
,
that
they
séemed
to
reach
vnto
the
middle
region
of
the
ayre
,
it
was
all
so
couered
with
Golde
,
that
it
scarce
admitted
any
sight
.
There
was
but
one
doore
,
the
which
the
Prince
found
fast
locked
,
whereat
with
the
pummell
of
his
sword
he
knocked
very
hard
.
At
the
noyse
,
a
window
opened
aboue
the
gate
,
out
of
which
there
looked
a
Lady
all
in
Armor
,
sauing
the
head
.
The
sight
astonished
the
Gréeke
,
thinking
it
was
Archysilora
,
who
with
some
anger
,
said
.
What
séeke
you
(
audacious
Knight
)
for
none
may
enter
here
,
but
that
liues
to
loue
without
hope
?
halfe
trembling
,
the
Prince
answered
.
I
do
confesse
,
how
I
offend
you
(
most
excellent
Quéene
of
Lyra
)
by
demanding
a
reward
for
my
faith
sacrificed
to
thy
gallantnesse
:
but
yet
if
with
death
or
endlesse
dishonor
you
will
still
be
reuenged
on
me
,
appoint
the
manner
of
the
vilest
death
you
can
,
and
I
will
bee
hee
that
shall
most
willingly
performe
that
sacrifice
.
It
is
well
knight
(
replyed
the
Lady
)
now
you
haue
committed
a
fault
,
you
thinke
by
confession
to
extenuate
your
descrued
punishment
.
So
ouercome
with
contemplation
of
his
Lady
stood
the
Gréeke
,
that
he
heard
not
the
opening
of
the
gate
,
with
as
much
horror
,
as
if
a
peale
of
ordinance
were
discharged
.
Through
it
,
came
foorth
two
Knights
richly
armed
:
and
also
after
them
,
followed
the
bewteous
Claramant
,
apparelled
in
cloath
of
Golde
,
whose
presence
would
haue
made
Narcissus
leaue
his
selfe-loue
to
stay
and
dote
on
him
.
Hauing
their
Launces
in
their
rests
,
and
as
swift
as
the
winde
,
they
ran
against
the
carelesse
Prince
,
that
was
busied
gazing
on
his
beloued
Archysilora
.
So
valiant
were
his
two
aduersaries
,
and
so
desirous
to
hit
him
,
that
they
lost
not
their
encounters
,
which
were
so
mightie
and
sudden
,
that
when
he
would
haue
warded
them
,
hee
found
himselfe
on
the
ground
,
so
sore
brused
with
the
fall
,
that
he
could
not
rise
when
he
would
.
So
eager
is
not
an
Eagle
to
defend
he
yoonglings
,
as
the
Knights
turned
vpon
the
Prince
,
and
both
at
once
againe
hit
him
,
but
being
warned
by
the
former
negligence
,
stoutly
resisted
them
,
that
they
could
not
ouerthrowe
him
,
but
made
him
stagger
backwards
.
So
skilfull
were
the
Knights
of
the
Castle
,
that
the
one
séeing
the
ill
successe
of
their
encounter
,
like
a
second
Mars
,
flung
his
Lance
at
him
.
He
mist
him
:
for
in
the
middest
of
his
amorous
brest
,
hee
gaue
him
the
greatest
blow
that
euer
he
receiued
,
and
was
forced
to
stay
himself
with
his
left
hand
on
the
ground
.
Neuer
before
did
the
Prince
iudge
himselfe
in
more
danger
,
séeing
the
knights
so
actiue
and
strong
.
They
could
not
so
preuaile
with
their
dexteritie
,
but
the
Gréeke
with
his
,
reached
him
that
hurled
his
Lance
,
such
a
blow
,
that
sencelesse
hee
strooke
him
on
his
horse
necke
.
Hee
ran
to
plucke
him
down
,
but
he
was
stayed
in
the
attempt
:
for
the
other
knowing
hee
could
not
come
in
time
to
rescue
him
,
setled
himselfe
on
his
styrrops
,
and
out
of
his
arme
let
his
Lance
flie
,
like
a
killing
Comet
:
it
strooke
him
on
the
one
side
of
the
closing
of
his
armor
,
where
Galtenor
saith
,
it
wounded
him
a
litle
:
but
Lirgandeo
affirmeth
,
he
was
felled
to
the
earth
,
yet
howsoeuer
he
could
not
performe
his
attempt
:
for
all
he
much
procured
it
.
Now
the
two
companions
being
spearelesse
,
drew
foorth
two
swords
vnequalled
in
all
the
world
,
and
with
them
arriued
vpon
the
Gréeke
,
that
expected
them
:
A
floorish
discharged
one
vppon
his
helme
,
which
he
gréeuously
felt
,
and
the
other
somewhat
lower
thrust
at
him
fiercely
:
which
hee
dearely
did
aby
:
for
Claridiano
more
furious
then
thundering
lightning
,
auoided
it
stepping
aside
,
leauing
him
hanging
vpon
his
horse
.
Thinking
to
haue
slaine
him
,
with
both
hands
he
laid
on
his
shoulders
.
The
Prince
imagined
he
had
cleft
him
in
the
middest
,
but
he
could
not
be
vanquished
on
horsebacke
:
who
therefore
returned
with
more
courage
then
before
,
and
began
to
helpe
one
another
against
the
Prince
,
with
such
strength
and
lightnesse
,
as
he
thoght
himselfe
in
manifest
danger
,
doubting
the
euent
of
the
battell
.
So
one
assaulted
him
with
his
Coursers
swiftest
course
,
which
carreir
he
lost
:
for
Archisiloras
Louer
a
little
yéelding
sidewaies
,
cast
his
strong
arms
about
him
,
and
maugre
all
his
forces
,
pulled
him
from
his
saddle
to
the
ground
,
much
glad
therof
,
for
so
he
might
better
deale
with
them
.
Who
were
so
instructed
to
aide
one
an
other
,
that
he
which
was
on
foot
,
wold
neither
loose
nor
step
from
Claridiano
,
till
he
saw
his
companion
run
at
him
,
and
then
with
a
swinge
hee
turned
him
against
the
horse
brest
,
who
encountred
him
so
strongly
,
that
he
made
him
stumble
backwards
like
to
fall
.
And
more
to
helpe
him
downe
,
he
on
foote
thrust
at
him
in
his
amaze
,
two
such
strong
points
,
that
Claridiano
neuer
did
what
he
was
now
inforced
vnto
,
for
neither
courage
nor
valoure
preuayling
,
he
fell
downe
.
But
like
Anteus
towching
on
the
earth
,
he
rose
fresher
and
fiercer
,
that
he
on
horsbacke
escaped
not
frée
for
his
encounter
:
for
as
he
turned
,
Claridiano
as
wrathfull
as
a
hungrie
Lyon
,
let
driue
at
him
with
so
puissant
a
blowe
,
that
whether
he
would
or
no
,
hee
felde
him
from
his
Saddle
downe
to
the
grassie
plaine
:
where
it
added
pleasure
to
content
,
séeing
the
fortunate
and
vnconquered
Gréeke
enter
,
and
retire
as
he
would
.
Wearied
he
had
them
,
although
himselfe
was
no
lesse
:
for
they
of
the
Castle
were
of
the
valiantest
in
the
world
,
and
about
that
matter
,
would
not
refuse
Mars
his
challenge
.
Crossing
his
sword
inwards
,
the
one
assaulted
the
Gréeke
,
it
was
but
an
offer
,
for
going
toward
it
,
he
stayed
his
arme
,
and
bearing
it
lower
,
strooke
him
on
the
legs
,
and
on
the
left
thigh
he
gaue
him
the
greatest
blow
that
he
had
receiued
in
all
that
battle
:
for
though
it
did
not
wound
him
,
yet
it
put
him
in
such
paine
that
he
could
not
stir
that
legge
.
The
good
effect
of
the
stroke
,
perceiued
they
of
the
Castle
,
and
that
they
might
take
the
aduantage
,
before
the
paine
left
him
,
they
began
to
hammer
him
with
more
strength
and
spéede
,
then
the
Cyclopes
did
when
they
forged
Aeneas
Armor
.
The
Prince
much
feared
being
so
lame
,
but
séeing
it
concerned
him
no
lesse
then
his
life
,
dragging
that
legge
,
performed
wonders
.
The
first
Battle
that
euer
Claramant
had
séene
was
this
:
the
which
he
iudged
to
himselfe
would
be
the
last
,
so
fierce
and
terrible
it
was
.
He
said
,
more
cunning
skill
nor
vallour
could
not
be
wished
in
one
knight
,
then
what
he
in
the
yallow
shewed
.
It
was
a
matter
worthy
the
Prince
,
for
as
he
was
,
he
neuer
suffered
them
to
close
within
him
,
though
they
nothing
else
procured
,
stil
kéeping
them
out
with
his
vntollerable
cruell
blowes
,
which
made
them
kisse
the
earth
,
sometimes
with
their
hands
,
and
then
with
their
knées
.
And
againe
other
times
,
all
at
once
.
In
the
ende
he
flung
at
him
that
had
wounded
him
:
quicke
he
was
,
but
Archysiloras
Champion
was
possessed
with
extreamest
of
his
rage
,
and
therefore
reached
him
on
the
toppe
of
his
Helme
,
in
such
manner
,
that
in
despight
of
him
,
he
tumbled
him
on
the
gréene
brest
of
his
mother
earth
.
At
him
with
a
thrust
ranne
the
other
,
which
Claridiano
striking
aside
,
hée
strooke
him
with
both
handes
on
his
armes
,
that
he
could
no
more
vse
his
sword
.
Hee
closed
with
him
,
and
hoysing
him
from
the
ground
,
flung
him
downe
on
his
backe
,
neare
where
his
Companion
was
.
Vppon
them
with
his
naked
Dagger
busseled
the
Louer
:
for
hauing
exceedingly
incensed
him
,
he
forgot
the
pitie
and
accustomed
clemency
which
he
vsed
towards
his
vanquished
.
Before
him
stept
the
bewteous
Claramant
,
saying
.
To
ende
a
Combat
with
death
(
most
valiant
knight
)
whose
conquest
is
so
manifest
,
wil
rather
blemish
the
Victors
victorie
,
then
dignifie
his
fame
:
Wherefore
I
pray
you
,
giue
me
those
Knights
as
by
you
are
vanquished
.
The
haughtie
Gréeke
lifted
vp
his
head
to
answere
him
,
for
through
the
anger
of
the
fight
,
he
had
not
noted
the
Donzell
.
So
looking
on
him
now
,
he
was
astonished
,
thinking
he
sawe
himselfe
:
for
were
hée
a
litle
elder
,
none
could
haue
distinguished
them
,
nor
yet
from
the
Emperour
Alphebo
,
for
they
resembled
so
much
one
another
,
that
in
the
beginning
he
verily
iudged
him
to
be
his
father
,
which
opinion
his
tender
yeares
frustrated
.
And
yet
supposing
him
some
kinsman
of
his
,
did
graunt
it
,
and
would
haue
done
had
it
bene
farre
more
.
But
that
was
inough
,
had
he
bene
any
other
then
Claridiano
,
to
make
him
neuer
returne
to
Greece
.
For
scarce
had
the
Donzell
raysed
them
with
his
hand
,
when
as
freshe
as
in
the
beginning
,
they
let
flie
at
him
,
togither
two
such
blowes
,
that
they
made
him
knéele
on
the
ground
.
It
extreamly
gréeued
him
to
be
so
mocked
,
yet
was
not
he
angry
against
the
Donzell
,
imagining
through
lacke
of
iudgement
he
had
done
it
.
He
animated
himselfe
to
this
new
Combat
,
although
with
some
doubt
to
sée
his
aduersaries
nimbler
and
lustier
then
at
the
first
,
and
himself
somewhat
weary
.
Clasping
his
sword
strongly
in
his
hand
,
he
went
against
them
,
making
them
knowe
,
nothing
could
bereaue
him
of
his
assured
victorie
.
So
closing
with
the
one
,
with
his
shoulders
he
thrust
him
from
him
,
like
a
loosened
arrow
from
a
bowe
.
And
with
a
leape
he
turned
on
the
second
.
His
spéed
could
not
saue
him
,
for
the
furious
Greeke
cut
away
halfe
his
helme
,
with
part
of
his
head
.
This
blow
gladded
him
,
resoluing
to
deny
the
Donzell
any
thing
he
should
aske
within
that
place
.
By
this
arriued
the
other
,
but
what
auailes
it
,
for
the
Greeke
Mars
giues
no
blowe
which
they
féele
not
within
their
fleshe
.
They
had
kinde
Ladies
in
this
second
fight
lost
the
vertue
of
the
Inchantment
,
only
helping
themselues
with
their
natural
strength
,
which
was
very
great
.
And
yet
it
preuailes
not
against
him
that
was
borne
a
Conqueror
.
End
this
cruel
warre
would
the
Gréeke
,
calling
himselfe
coward
to
prolong
it
so
long
:
And
auoyding
one
of
their
blowes
,
he
ran
at
him
with
the
brauest
thrust
that
in
all
his
life
he
executed
:
for
piercing
shield
,
breast
and
backe
,
hée
tumbled
him
dead
at
his
féete
,
to
Claramants
great
admiration
.
The
second
incouraged
himselfe
for
all
he
was
alone
and
sore
wounded
,
it
was
but
a
little
lengthning
of
his
life
,
to
endure
a
more
cruell
death
.
For
the
Prince
hauing
Fortune
by
the
Front
,
strooke
at
the
top
of
his
helme
,
yet
not
with
the
strength
he
might
,
but
he
yéelding
backe
his
head
,
couered
it
with
the
shielde
:
whereat
the
Gréeke
turning
his
arme
,
discharged
it
on
his
thighes
so
mightily
,
that
almost
he
cut
one
cleane
off
.
Before
he
could
setle
himselfe
,
he
ran
vpon
him
,
and
with
incredible
haste
(
least
Claramant
should
interrupt
him
)
hereaft
him
of
his
life
:
himselfe
remaining
so
wearie
,
that
his
legges
could
not
then
sustaine
him
.
All
his
life
time
he
most
estéemed
this
victorie
,
for
it
cost
more
labor
,
more
blood
,
and
more
trouble
,
then
any
other
of
that
quallitie
.
He
went
towards
the
beauteous
Donzell
,
elder
then
him
by
sixe
yeares
,
but
hauing
suffered
no
cares
,
nor
paines
,
nor
loue
passions
,
made
him
séeme
yonger
then
his
cousin
:
who
tooke
off
his
helme
,
discouering
that
Mars
his
countenance
of
his
.
Either
reioyced
to
sée
the
other
,
thinking
they
sawe
one
another
in
a
glasse
.
So
Claridiano
spake
first
,
saying
.
I
intreat
you
(
faire
Donzell
)
so
the
heauens
make
you
happie
in
all
attempts
,
to
tell
me
the
cause
of
your
being
within
so
defended
a
place
,
and
also
who
you
are
?
for
considering
how
dearly
your
sight
hath
cost
me
,
(
although
I
thinke
it
well
bestowed
)
you
are
bound
to
tell
me
:
whereto
Claramant
replied
.
Of
neither
(
sir
knight
)
may
I
resolue
you
,
vnlesse
I
receiue
the
order
of
Chiualrie
,
and
in
faith
it
not
a
little
gréeues
mee
,
that
I
cannot
herein
satisfie
you
.
Such
desire
had
the
Gréeke
to
know
him
,
as
hée
was
determined
to
giue
it
him
:
but
remembring
how
hee
was
before
mocked
,
thus
answered
.
Nay
sir
,
if
your
knowledge
must
cost
so
much
,
I
will
not
more
wish
it
,
for
in
not
performing
as
yet
your
request
,
I
am
sure
I
do
you
some
seruice
.
Why
then
(
said
Claramant
)
fare
you
well
,
for
I
le
returne
vnto
my
Castle
,
and
in
faith
,
sorrie
to
bée
denied
in
my
first
request
I
euer
made
to
any
knight
.
Go
with
me
from
hence
(
woorthie
Donzell
,
returned
the
Gréeke
)
and
you
shall
receiue
it
with
such
solemnitie
,
as
is
due
vnto
your
person
.
The
gallant
youth
answered
not
,
but
in
great
haste
returned
to
the
Castle
,
where
had
hee
entred
,
his
cousin
had
not
béene
able
to
haue
fetcht
him
thence
,
for
béeing
with
armes
,
none
of
all
his
kinsmen
did
excell
him
.
But
the
wise
Nabato
knowing
it
concerned
his
sonne
Don
Eleno
,
with
his
charmes
and
exorcismes
,
clowded
with
mists
and
fogges
all
those
shining
buildings
,
so
astonishing
the
Donzel
,
that
thinking
to
enter
the
Castle
,
hée
mist
his
way
,
and
tooke
it
towardes
the
Fountaine
of
the
thrée
pypes
,
where
being
a
drie
,
and
hearing
the
waters
running
noyse
,
he
dranke
.
But
hee
had
scant
toucht
it
,
when
such
horribible
and
hideous
noyse
was
heard
,
that
Claramant
was
halfe
afraide
.
The
ende
of
that
aduenture
consisted
on
Claramants
arriuing
to
the
fount
,
to
take
downe
the
shield
which
his
cousin
had
hung
on
the
piller
,
on
condition
of
his
passage
.
So
all
that
mightie
edefice
vanished
away
,
made
by
the
great
Magitian
Lirgandeo
,
as
the
second
part
related
,
wherein
hee
had
inchanted
this
valiant
Prince
,
when
he
tooke
him
from
the
barbarous
Scythians
that
belonged
to
Bramarant
,
who
stole
him
from
his
mother
in
the
woods
of
Grecia
,
as
in
the
third
booke
of
the
first
part
is
expressed
.
Alone
did
the
Gréeke
finde
himselfe
in
a
broad
field
,
and
Palisandro
by
him
with
the
horses
.
So
looking
for
the
Donzel
,
he
spied
him
in
great
haste
entring
into
a
thicke
wood
of
trées
,
that
stood
in
the
valley
.
He
rose
and
went
thither
,
at
such
time
as
Claramant
onely
with
his
shield
,
had
thrust
himselfe
within
,
whose
sight
he
quickly
lost
.
Accompany
him
hee
would
,
but
it
was
in
vaine
,
for
a
strong
contrarie
winde
blew
him
out
,
where
he
was
forced
to
expect
the
successe
of
that
aduenture
reserued
to
the
Donzel
.
CHAP.
XVIII
.
How
Claramant
entred
into
Theseus
walke
,
where
he
wonne
his
armour
:
and
what
else
happened
.
WIthin
the
intricate
groue
(
swéete
Lady
)
wee
left
the
Donzel
Claramant
,
whose
disinchauntment
being
excéedingly
desired
of
euerie
one
,
made
mée
(
to
please
those
desires
)
a
breuiate
the
presedent
combats
,
although
Lyrgandeo
doth
not
a
little
inlarge
his
discourse
therin
.
But
my selfe
wishing
no
lesse
his
inlargement
,
then
any
other
,
forced
me
to
enter
him
with
such
breuitie
,
within
the
way-confused
wood
,
wherein
hauing
lost
himselfe
,
Trebatios
sonne
wandred
thrée
daies
alone
,
onely
with
the
Greekes
shield
.
This
was
that
crooked
intricable
mancion
,
in
whose
contriuing
,
Dedalus
at
Minos
petition
,
king
of
Greece
,
did
shew
the
sharpnesse
of
his
skill
and
witte
,
wherein
the
famous
Minotaure
was
inclosed
:
whose
originall
sprung
from
she
beastly
blinde
loue
of
Pasiphae
the
Quéene
,
for
the
king
béeing
imployed
in
the
Troyan
warres
,
she
with
inhumane
appetite
lusted
after
a
white
bull
,
that
was
among
her
heards
:
and
not
knowing
how
to
accomplish
so
foule
a
déede
,
shee
recommended
it
to
Dedalus
:
who
with
his
wit
,
being
the
Oracle
of
his
age
,
contriued
an
artificiall
Cowe
of
wood
,
wherin
he
put
the
Queene
,
couered
with
the
hyde
of
another
which
the
Bull
most
followed
,
by
which
meanes
she
satisfied
her
lust
,
ingendring
the
Minotaure
which
the
Poets
faine
:
and
yet
Arsanio
in
the
fourth
of
his
Problemes
,
approoues
with
wonderfull
arguments
,
the
possibilitie
of
the
act
:
and
saith
that
at
the
time
of
the
monsters
birth
,
returned
the
king
,
who
would
not
,
althogh
the
Quéen
died
of
the
labour
kil
the
beast
,
but
rather
commanded
him
to
be
kept
in
a
place
most
difficult
to
come
foorth
,
reseruing
him
there
,
for
what
hée
further
intended
.
For
making
cruell
warre
vpon
the
Athenians
,
in
reuenge
of
his
sonne
Androgeus
death
,
whom
they
flew
,
hee
compelled
them
in
satisfaction
thereof
,
yearely
to
send
him
seuen
men
,
and
as
many
maides
,
to
be
deuoured
by
the
Minotaure
.
Whose
forme
was
both
of
man
and
Bull
,
and
of
proportionable
bignesse
.
For
some
few
yeares
lasted
this
cruell
custome
,
vntill
Theseus
comming
,
whose
strength
was
nothing
inferior
to
Hercules
,
in
so
much
,
that
some
will
haue
him
to
be
he
.
Being
young
,
he
ayded
Hercules
against
the
Amazones
,
whom
after
they
had
conquered
,
he
married
their
Quéenes
sister
.
He
slew
the
Tyrant
of
Thebes
,
that
would
not
burie
his
dead
kinsmen
.
And
in
the
Marathonian
fields
hee
slewe
the
wilde
Bull
that
wasted
all
Attica
.
This
was
hee
that
rauisht
Helena
the
first
time
,
whose
tender
age
might
then
well
acquit
her
of
the
error
.
Hee
descended
into
hell
with
Perithons
,
to
steale
Proserpyne
,
where
he
lost
his
friend
.
This
by
lot
was
sent
to
Creete
as
food
vnto
the
Minotaure
.
But
the
beauteous
Ariadne
affecting
the
youth
,
gaue
him
a
clue
of
thread
,
which
should
(
after
he
had
slaine
the
beast
)
lead
him
out
.
He
ingratefully
requited
both
her
loue
and
life
good
turne
,
leauing
her
alone
in
Niosia
I
le
,
which
act
of
vnthankfulnesse
so
gréeued
the
most
wise
Dedalus
,
that
he
inchanted
him
in
the
laborinth
,
in
recompence
of
his
ingratitude
,
suffering
eternall
paines
yet
to
fewe
,
in
respect
of
his
deserts
.
He
more
inlarged
the
mazed
house
,
that
his
libertie
might
be
more
difficulter
.
The
which
he
made
so
singuler
,
as
at
the
least
it
equalled
that
in
Egypt
,
and
far
excelling
king
Porsenas
which
he
builded
in
Italie
for
his
sepulchre
:
which
was
so
fearefull
,
that
hee
commaunded
before
he
dyed
,
he
should
not
being
dead
,
be
there
left
without
company
,
and
so
euery
yeare
,
many
being
put
therein
,
were
inforced
finding
no
way
out
,
to
associate
him
in
his
death
.
In
this
inextricable
wood
,
did
Dedalus
place
Theseus
,
where
the
Gréeke
youth
had
lost
himselfe
,
not
knowing
how
,
nor
which
way
he
had
got
in
there
.
It
gréeued
him
not
,
for
his
inuincible
heart
incouraged
him
to
greater
matters
.
The
fourth
day
of
his
wandring
through
the
wood
,
hee
came
vnto
a
faire
walke
,
whose
Couert
of
gréene
Iuie
,
reaching
from
trée
to
trée
on
eyther
side
,
was
so
thicke
,
that
neither
sun
nor
starre
could
penetrate
it
at
no
time
,
and
therefore
it
was
naturally
most
colde
,
besides
that
Dedalus
with
his
skill
had
made
it
more
,
when
there
he
left
the
ingratefull
Thenian
,
with
fréezing
colde
to
extinguish
the
burning
heate
,
wherewith
he
loued
Phedra
,
forsaking
her
sister
that
had
giuen
him
no
lesse
then
his
life
,
helping
him
to
the
bottome
of
the
thréed
,
by
which
he
issued
out
of
the
Laborinth
.
So
he
indured
excéeding
torments
,
minding
on
nothing
,
saue
that
none
shuld
passe
that
way
,
fearing
that
some
one
woulde
vanquish
the
Minotaure
,
that
kept
somewhat
more
within
.
Scarce
could
the
Gréeke
Prince
endure
the
coldnesse
of
the
Lane
,
and
but
that
he
iudged
it
base
feare
,
he
had
returned
backe
:
yet
encouraging
himselfe
,
valiantly
with
his
sheeld
,
he
passed
on
forwards
,
till
he
met
with
the
mightie
Theseus
,
clad
al
in
most
rich
greene
armor
,
garnished
of
tawnie
Lyons
,
beset
with
many
rich
and
vnualuable
stones
.
A
foote
stood
the
fierce
Athenian
,
leauing
against
a
mightie
stéele
battle-axe
,
with
a
sword
girded
at
his
side
,
looking
with
such
a
sterne
aspect
,
as
Mars
had
feared
him
.
But
Trebatios
sonne
borne
to
maister
him
,
vndauntedly
stept
to
him
with
such
courtesie
,
as
he
thought
his
person
merited
,
saying
.
Most
valiant
knight
,
I
would
gladly
finde
a
passage
from
a
place
so
yrkesome
as
this
,
and
if
along
this
Lane
be
the
way
,
I
intreate
you
suffer
me
fréely
to
passe
.
With
admiration
of
his
gallant
disposition
,
did
Hercules
companion
thus
reply
.
Most
willingly
faire
Donzell
,
I
would
pleasure
you
in
this
,
or
any
thing
else
,
but
my
ingratitude
bringing
me
hither
,
forceth
mee
to
let
none
passe
this
way
,
onely
to
haue
more
company
(
being
alone
)
to
associate
me
.
And
so
may
you
séeke
an
other
way
,
although
I
beléeue
there
is
none
but
this
.
Why
then
(
said
our
new
Mars
)
I
shall
be
constrained
to
procure
it
,
and
so
rest
nothing
beholding
to
you
for
it
.
Whereupon
as
if
hée
were
better
armed
then
the
Athenian
,
well
couering
himselfe
with
his
shéeld
,
paced
towards
him
,
who
became
more
fiercer
,
then
when
he
descended
into
the
earthes
blacke
Center
,
séeing
the
boldnesse
of
the
youth
so
yoong
and
armorlesse
,
presuming
to
win
what
onely
was
committed
to
his
strength
,
in
so
many
dangers
and
haughtie
enterprises
approoued
.
He
raised
aloft
his
axe
,
thinking
to
haue
cleft
him
in
the
middest
.
But
the
gallant
youth
leaping
aside
,
meant
not
onely
to
make
him
loose
his
blowe
,
but
to
close
with
him
,
hauing
an
eye
vnto
his
sword
,
hoping
that
if
he
had
it
,
to
assure
his
victorie
therewith
.
At
this
time
he
mist
of
his
intent
,
for
Theseus
was
none
of
those
that
admitted
any
such
brauados
:
but
in
the
middest
of
the
stroke
,
before
his
aduersarie
could
enter
,
he
stayed
the
axe
,
discharging
such
a
blowe
on
his
shéeld
,
with
the
point
,
that
he
inforced
him
backe
swifter
then
hee
came
,
with
greater
paine
on
his
brest
,
for
the
shéeld
striking
there
,
made
him
almost
breathlesse
.
He
had
not
effected
this
blowe
,
when
with
the
blade
he
offered
an
other
.
He
floorished
it
aboue
his
head
so
mightily
,
that
had
not
the
Gréeke
fallen
on
his
,
he
had
bene
cleane
parted
in
two
.
He
saw
himselfe
within
deathes
clawes
,
for
the
very
wind
the
weapon
yéelded
in
his
passage
,
was
inough
to
strike
downe
an
other
lesse
valianter
then
he
.
He
would
not
then
ketch
at
his
sword
,
because
the
other
ouerwharted
him
in
it
,
but
rather
with
the
nimble
skill
his
tutors
had
taught
him
,
séemed
to
stay
a
blowe
,
lifting
his
shéeld
on
high
,
the
Athenian
beléeuing
that
he
would
,
and
that
therewith
he
should
terminate
that
controuersie
,
well
setled
on
his
left
leg
,
hee
let
fly
at
him
a
downe-right
blowe
.
It
is
credible
,
that
hitting
him
with
the
axe
,
he
had
diuided
not
him
alone
,
but
the
strongest
Rocke
.
He
that
should
liberate
the
Scythian
Lady
,
would
not
so
trust
to
his
shéeld
:
for
as
the
axe
descended
,
swifter
then
thought
,
he
closed
with
him
,
thrusting
himselfe
vnder
his
armes
,
and
with
his
,
he
astonished
him
with
a
blowe
running
his
shéeld
against
his
head
,
whereat
the
other
for
feare
of
giuing
backe
,
resisted
him
with
all
his
strength
,
and
so
ayding
his
left
leg
outwards
,
our
new
warrior
met
with
the
swords
handle
,
the
which
without
more
adoo
,
he
easily
drew
forth
,
whose
blade
yéelded
such
splendor
as
the
Prince
was
amazed
.
It
was
many
years
since
the
Athenian
had
not
séen
his
naked
sword
,
which
now
viewing
in
his
enemies
power
,
there
is
no
Lyon
in
fiercenesse
comparable
to
him
.
Néeds
would
the
Gréeke
youth
trie
his
conquered
weapon
before
he
got
from
him
,
discharging
it
with
all
his
strength
on
that
side
it
hung
.
His
armor
it
cut
not
,
for
the
world
had
none
better
,
but
it
so
tormented
his
legge
and
thigh
,
that
he
could
not
stand
thereon
.
So
Claramant
stepping
from
him
,
saide
.
Now
shall
thou
know
(
knight
)
how
much
better
it
had
béene
for
thée
,
to
haue
let
me
fréely
passe
,
and
kéepe
thy
weapons
,
then
to
bée
without
them
,
for
they
now
shall
make
me
way
.
Why
then
stay
(
said
hee
)
discourteous
youth
,
and
thou
shalt
sée
whether
the
hauing
of
my
sword
can
defend
thée
from
Theseus
wrath
,
at
whose
presence
al
Plutos
kingdome
trembled
.
And
so
he
strooke
at
him
a
most
mightie
blow
.
He
could
not
so
defend
it
,
but
it
fell
vpon
one
side
of
his
shield
,
cutting
it
away
:
and
made
him
thrice
turne
about
.
But
suddainly
he
recouered
,
and
firmed
himselfe
against
his
aduersarie
,
that
with
his
axe
poynt
came
against
him
.
He
turned
away
and
scapt
it
,
discharging
his
sword
vppon
his
helme
.
It
sounded
like
a
bell
,
making
a
displeasant
musicke
chattering
of
his
téeth
.
Ere
Theseus
could
recouer
himselfe
,
he
gaue
him
another
,
it
was
it
which
gaue
him
the
victorie
,
by
the
passing
with
the
poynt
betwéene
the
closing
of
his
armor
.
Cutting
his
priuie
coate
of
male
,
the
sharpe
blade
entred
vnto
his
flesh
:
had
he
not
feared
the
axe
,
and
a
little
forwarder
thrust
his
arme
,
he
had
slaine
the
Athenian
:
yet
it
was
the
first
time
that
the
ingratefull
Louer
sawe
his
owne
blood
,
whose
sight
added
such
furie
to
his
furie
,
that
now
hee
will
not
procéede
like
a
skilfull
knight
,
but
let
his
blowes
flie
at
randon
,
which
put
the
youth
in
more
daunger
and
aduised
care
to
shunne
them
,
assuring
himselfe
,
that
blow
which
tooke
him
full
,
would
be
his
death
:
and
therefore
he
behaued
himselfe
with
such
dexteritie
,
as
his
cousin
had
hee
béene
there
,
could
haue
done
no
more
.
Oh
it
was
a
spectacle
woorthie
the
Gréeke
Theater
,
for
the
haughtie
Athenian
fiercer
then
when
he
slew
the
Tyrant
Creon
,
procured
to
giue
him
but
one
blowe
,
the
which
with
singuler
agilitie
the
Gréeke
shunned
.
There
is
no
Roe
in
swiftnesse
like
to
him
,
for
entring
and
retiring
at
his
pleasure
,
sometimes
hee
wounded
Theseus
,
and
euerie
time
he
tooke
him
ful
with
his
famous
sword
,
he
made
him
tremble
like
the
toppe
of
a
high
proude
pyne
,
shaken
with
the
voyce
of
heauen
.
Hée
himselfe
receiued
some
,
but
they
were
on
his
shield
,
the
which
in
that
daungerous
battell
saued
his
life
.
Sixe
houres
they
haue
fought
without
rest
.
They
were
in
the
end
(
swéet
Mistresse
)
made
of
flesh
&
blood
,
and
must
feele
the
excessiue
paine
and
trouble
,
so
at
once
without
any
word
,
they
withdrew
to
breath
:
for
although
the
Gréek
was
not
wounded
,
yet
his
much
labour
had
ouer
much
wearied
him
.
Against
himselfe
bitterly
exclaimed
the
Athenian
,
séeing
himselfe
both
matcht
and
wounded
,
by
one
knight
without
armor
.
The
Gréeke
had
no
cause
yet
to
complaine
,
for
this
was
his
first
battell
,
yet
he
incouraged
himselfe
to
end
it
to
his
glorie
.
As
he
walked
vp
and
downe
,
he
past
by
an
oake
,
whereon
he
read
an
inscription
to
this
effect
.
Dismay
not
,
oh
thou
valiant
Knight
,
that
by
thy
valour
haste
arriued
to
vngratefull
Theseus
walke
,
but
take
courage
,
for
vanguishing
him
,
and
winning
his
armor
,
thou
doest
arriue
(
this
being
thy
first
battell
)
vnto
the
highest
top
of
honour
,
reseruing
in
thy
power
,
the
hopes
of
greatest
ioyes
.
Hauing
read
the
letters
,
the
Gréeke
thought
nothing
what
hée
had
before
him
,
considering
the
promise
redounding
by
the
victorie
.
No
longer
would
he
rest
,
for
the
desired
end
of
the
aduenture
will
not
suffee
him
more
to
breath
:
and
so
couering
himselfe
with
the
remainder
of
his
shield
,
and
strongly
gryping
his
sword
in
his
hands
,
went
against
the
Athenian
,
saying
.
Come
knight
,
let
vs
end
our
battell
,
for
it
is
a
shame
it
should
so
long
last
,
being
but
betwéene
two
.
Theseus
replied
,
taking
his
axe
twixt
both
his
hands
.
There
is
not
any
,
but
at
his
first
semblance
would
haue
trembled
like
an
Aspen
leafe
:
yet
the
haughtie
youth
fearelesse
,
confronted
him
.
His
axe
flourisht
,
the
Athenian
thinking
to
haue
hit
him
with
the
blade
.
But
the
gallant
youth
,
whose
strength
excelled
his
,
with
his
swoord
strooke
it
away
:
within
him
hée
stept
,
letting
flie
a
mightie
thrust
at
his
breast
,
whose
force
made
him
fencelesse
giue
backe
,
drawing
his
battell
axe
after
him
.
Trebatios
sonne
followed
him
hard
,
and
ere
he
could
raise
it
from
the
ground
,
hée
layde
on
the
visor
of
his
helme
such
a
blowe
,
that
he
thought
the
firmament
had
fallen
,
so
many
starres
he
sawe
about
his
eares
.
So
abashed
to
be
so
handled
was
Ariadnes
reiecter
,
for
euen
as
hee
dragd
his
axe
,
hee
hoyst
it
aloft
,
that
the
Gréeke
could
not
escape
the
blowe
,
nor
shun
a
wound
vpon
his
right
side
,
and
yet
but
little
,
for
féeling
the
blade
,
he
yéelded
to
the
left
side
,
and
let
it
passe
,
and
séeing
his
wisht
occasion
,
presently
closed
with
him
.
The
Athenian
durst
not
let
go
the
axe
,
for
therein
consisted
his
strength
:
whereby
vnable
to
helpe
himselfe
as
he
would
in
this
strife
,
surely
Claramant
wonne
ground
of
him
.
A
better
wrasle
could
not
almost
be
séene
,
for
the
Prince
being
vnarmed
,
and
therefore
nimbler
,
trippes
,
tangles
,
and
vntangles
his
legges
with
more
dexteritie
:
which
his
aduersarie
could
not
do
,
although
by
méere
strength
he
valiantly
resisted
.
The
Gréeke
offering
to
take
the
axe
from
him
,
snatcht
at
it
,
but
too
strong
so
easily
to
part
from
it
,
was
the
Athenians
holde
.
Oh
,
who
would
not
wish
to
sée
this
braue
contention
,
for
ingrateful
Theseus
to
defend
it
,
fetches
forces
from
his
alreadie
fainting
mind
,
and
the
Gréeke
to
winne
it
,
imployeth
the
vtmost
of
his
valour
.
Thus
contending
,
they
were
almost
at
the
end
of
the
Alley
,
when
Trebatios
issue
with
a
fine
slight
got
the
victorie
.
For
séeming
to
let
go
the
axe
,
loosened
a
little
his
hold
,
and
himselfe
stepping
something
backe
.
The
Athenian
did
the
like
,
thinking
so
to
reassure
his
axe
:
but
the
Gréeke
setling
himselfe
strongly
on
his
legges
,
stept
in
,
and
on
the
suddaine
wroong
it
out
of
his
hands
.
No
sooner
had
he
done
it
,
but
all
that
abhorred
fréezing
Alley
,
séemed
on
a
light
burning
fire
.
The
thundrings
,
lightnings
,
and
hideous
shoutes
,
not
a
little
amazed
the
Prince
,
and
him
that
was
without
,
no
lesse
,
who
not
able
to
indure
,
imagining
the
haughtie
Donzell
to
be
in
some
daunger
,
entred
through
those
intangling
pathes
.
By
the
Athenians
loosing
of
his
axe
,
the
passage
was
frée
,
so
farre
as
the
Donzell
was
.
So
he
arriued
when
his
inuincible
Vncle
gazed
on
the
armor
Theseus
had
left
him
vpon
a
table
of
Iaspar
,
wher
there
stood
a
Piller
with
an
Epitaph
.
He
then
quieted
himselfe
,
séeing
it
was
the
knight
that
had
disinchanted
him
.
They
embraced
with
such
loue
,
as
if
they
knew
the
consanguinitie
betwéene
them
.
Now
may
you
(
sir
knight
)
said
Claramant
,
séeing
fortune
hath
giuen
me
armour
and
weapons
,
let
me
receiue
the
order
of
them
at
your
hands
.
In
all
things
I
desire
to
satisfie
your
content
,
faire
Donzell
(
replied
the
dispairing
Prince
)
wishing
it
no
lesse
then
mine
.
But
now
rest
a
while
,
for
we
shall
haue
time
ynough
to
doo
it
,
for
I
beléeue
the
winning
of
these
armes
,
haue
cost
you
no
small
trouble
.
Some
indéed
it
hath
(
said
Clarament
)
but
beeing
so
well
acquittanced
with
the
enioying
of
your
sight
,
and
these
rich
armes
,
I
account
it
wel
bestowed
.
But
let
vs
read
this
scrowle
,
for
I
feare
we
haue
more
to
do
to
get
from
this
accursed
place
.
So
hand
in
hand
they
went
to
the
Piller
,
and
read
the
discription
thus
.
When
the
two
most
fiercest
Lyons
shall
meete
in
the
valley
of
vngratefull
Theseus
,
the
one
winning
his
armor
,
and
receiuing
the
order
of
knighthood
of
him
that
gaue
him
his
liberty
,
and
vanguishing
the
Minotaure
,
then
shall
the
inchantments
of
ancient
Dedalus
haue
end
.
It
greatly
reioyced
Claridiano
,
to
sée
that
he
might
safely
giue
him
the
order
of
Chiualrie
.
And
with
one
accord
hee
armed
and
knighted
him
at
once
.
They
fitted
him
so
well
,
as
if
of
purpose
they
had
béene
forged
for
him
.
Neuer
had
Archisiloras
Louer
séene
a
gallanter
knight
:
somewhat
bigger
he
was
then
his
cousin
,
but
not
taller
:
wherefore
the
wisemen
alwaies
doubted
whether
was
the
valianter
,
for
their
particular
battels
one
against
the
other
,
it
could
neuer
be
séene
.
But
rather
on
foote
with
the
battel-axe
,
no
knight
could
abide
the
strength
of
Claramant
.
Fewe
times
carried
he
shield
,
the
better
to
play
with
his
are
,
and
therefore
was
he
surnamed
the
Cruel
,
for
with
it
hee
spilled
more
blood
then
the
fierce
Affrican
.
With
excéeding
ioy
did
he
gyrt
his
sword
,
embracing
him
with
excéeding
signes
of
loue
.
They
vowed
such
great
amitie
,
that
their
knowledge
of
vncle
and
cousin
,
could
not
more
augment
it
.
A
while
they
rested
,
that
with
more
courage
the
new
knight
might
prooue
the
aduenture
of
the
Minotaure
.
So
much
desired
the
late
armed
Prince
,
to
sée
the
beast
,
as
he
rose
,
saying
.
It
is
time
(
sir
knight
)
to
end
this
businesse
,
for
being
so
surely
backt
,
were
the
enterprise
more
difficult
,
the
victorie
is
most
certaine
.
His
cousin
followed
him
,
glad
to
sée
his
braue
and
gallant
gate
.
His
are
he
carried
on
his
shoulder
,
the
best
weapon
that
the
world
contained
,
and
his
sword
gir●
by
his
side
.
In
this
manner
they
paced
towards
a
stately
building
that
stood
in
middest
of
the
field
.
Narrow
was
the
entrance
to
it
,
but
within
if
had
so
many
intricate
waies
,
that
they
could
not
deuise
where
it
might
end
.
Enter
into
it
would
the
vallerous
Claramaunt
,
recommending
himselfe
vnto
the
immortall
Gods
protection
.
The
like
did
Claridiano
,
committing
him
to
his
kéeping
,
that
with
a
(
F●at
)
framed
the
whole
heauens
,
earth
,
and
vast
seas
.
With
tender
kindnesse
the
two
kinsmen
embraced
each
other
,
which
done
,
the
haughtie
youth
prepared
to
enter
the
inextricable
house
of
Dedalus
.
What
within
hapned
him
,
and
the
battell
fought
with
the
monster
,
deserues
a
new
Chapter
.
CHAP.
XIX
.
How
Claramant
entred
the
laborinth
of
Creete
,
where
he
slewe
the
Minotaure
,
and
the
glorious
end
he
gaue
the
aduenture
.
I
Doubt
not
(
gallant
Ladies
,
beauties
ornaments
)
but
that
neither
the
excellencies
of
your
perfections
,
whose
powerfull
vertue
can
onely
with
the
sight
commaund
the
greatest
heart
,
nor
yet
the
tender
pittie
attending
on
your
sexe
,
will
not
with
timerous
feare
appall
your
gentle
minds
,
reading
these
fierce
accidents
of
sterne
Mars
.
And
then
I
hope
you
will
not
conceiue
lesse
pleasure
with
the
bloodie
battels
wherein
I
am
intangled
,
then
at
Cupids
amorous
discourses
.
But
where
they
seem
offensiue
,
passe
them
ouer
,
though
loue
haue
ordained
them
,
and
yet
respecting
the
cause
,
I
know
you
will
not
condemne
the
effect
.
For
although
now
you
sée
the
Gréeke
Prince
busied
with
cruell
warres
,
too
soone
he
will
be
ledde
where
he
shall
confesse
,
there
is
no
good
where
the
little
blind
God
doth
not
raigne
,
and
this
euen
when
ayded
with
nothing
but
his
strength
,
hee
shall
set
frée
the
faire
Princesse
of
the
Scythians
,
from
her
strong
inchauntment
.
But
before
that
happens
,
attend
,
and
you
shall
heare
what
him
befell
entring
the
blinde
Laborinth
.
His
axe
he
carrid
afore
,
and
with
vnremoouing
steppes
,
hee
entred
the
way-confused
habitation
,
where
he
so
often
turned
and
returned
,
comming
backe
when
as
he
thought
himselfe
to
go
forward
,
and
crossing
such
by-waies
at
euery
second
pace
,
that
when
he
iudged
to
be
at
the
end
,
he
found
himselfe
at
the
doore
.
Sometime
he
heard
,
not
without
great
amazement
,
the
noyse
of
voyces
crying
:
The
rich
armor
thou
haste
wonne
bolde
knight
,
shall
not
auaile
thée
to
get
from
our
dwelling
,
in
recompence
of
thy
presumption
to
disquiet
vs
:
and
then
felt
hée
such
mightie
blowes
,
that
often
made
him
set
his
hands
and
knées
vppon
the
ground
:
but
considering
how
litle
he
had
done
by
winning
the
armor
,
and
how
the
other
valiant
knight
expected
him
,
so
animated
him
to
indure
those
huge
strokes
,
which
none
but
he
could
haue
suffered
.
Wearie
and
tired
,
he
at
last
came
where
he
sawe
a
little
light
,
that
issued
from
a
high
cranny
of
the
wal
.
It
gladded
him
,
for
by
it
,
he
found
a
way
that
brought
him
vnto
a
faire
large
yard
,
about
whose
wals
were
many
pictures
and
stories
so
naturally
drawne
,
that
they
somewhat
eased
his
paine
.
By
them
he
vnderstood
Pasiphaes
beastly
accesse
vnto
the
Bull.
It
so
disliked
him
,
that
he
turned
away
his
eyes
,
being
offended
,
not
with
the
pictures
,
but
with
what
it
represented
.
Hee
sawe
Theseus
cladde
in
those
armes
he
won
of
him
,
enter
the
Laborinth
,
with
the
thread
tied
to
his
arme
,
and
at
the
doore
the
two
beautifull
sisters
,
that
with
feare
did
stay
for
him
.
The
cause
was
,
they
loued
,
and
where
that
passion
is
,
none
can
liue
secure
,
fearing
also
the
good
it
enioyeth
.
A
little
beyond
,
he
sawe
how
ill
repayed
Ariadne
was
,
being
left
to
the
mercie
of
the
windes
among
wilde
beasts
.
To
such
pittie
was
he
mooued
towards
the
Ladie
,
that
casting
vp
his
eyes
to
heauen
,
he
said
.
Oh
cruell
knight
,
vnwoorthie
the
name
of
Theseus
,
imploying
so
ill
those
partes
the
heauens
hath
adorned
thee
with
,
but
especially
against
a
weake
tender
Ladie
,
whom
if
reason
had
béen
thy
guide
,
thou
shouldest
haue
helped
,
although
thy
life
were
hazarded
.
A
new
battell
(
were
it
possible
)
would
I
haue
with
thée
vppon
this
,
to
make
thée
confesse
thy
crueltie
and
ingratitude
.
He
vowed
to
himselfe
to
helpe
all
Ladies
,
though
hee
indaungered
his
life
:
which
he
performed
so
well
,
that
many
vnder
that
name
,
onely
durst
trauell
alone
,
and
euerie
one
called
him
the
knight
of
the
Ladies
.
His
owne
image
sawe
hee
a
little
further
,
and
his
battell
fought
with
Theseus
,
togither
with
those
which
Claridiano
made
about
his
libertie
.
He
reioyced
to
see
the
haughtie
déeds
of
his
new
friend
.
Being
about
to
go
to
the
other
side
of
the
yard
,
to
view
those
pictures
there
,
as
he
turned
,
he
espied
two
knights
all
in
armor
comming
towardes
him
,
with
their
shields
and
swords
readie
for
the
fight
.
Their
gallant
semblance
and
brauerie
much
pleased
the
Gréeke
:
beeing
neare
him
,
one
said
.
Thou
haste
béene
much
ouerséene
(
knight
)
not
acknowledging
Loues
soueraigntie
,
to
enter
a
place
so
prohibited
,
where
be
sure
thou
shalt
be
called
to
strickt
accounts
.
They
stayed
for
no
answere
,
but
ere
he
could
sway
his
axe
about
,
they
gaue
him
two
mightie
blowes
,
one
on
his
shoulder
,
and
the
other
on
his
helme
.
Both
he
greatly
felt
,
especially
so
cowardly
to
be
assaulted
.
With
an
Eagles
swiftnes
he
got
from
betwéen
them
,
into
the
middest
of
the
broad
yard
,
the
better
to
vse
his
daungerous
axe
.
He
stretcht
it
out
at
length
,
awaiting
for
his
aduersaries
,
that
nothing
fearing
,
followed
him
.
With
the
poynt
he
hit
one
,
almost
beheading
him
,
for
with
the
blade
he
sorely
wounded
his
throate
:
hée
drew
backe
his
axe
,
and
winding
it
about
,
layed
on
his
shield
,
the
which
he
strooke
to
the
ground
,
and
his
Maister
headlong
at
his
féete
.
His
companion
was
not
carelesse
,
but
comming
behind
,
gaue
him
so
strong
a
blowe
vppon
his
helme
,
that
though
he
cut
it
not
,
yet
hee
bended
it
to
his
breast
.
Like
a
furious
Lyon
turned
the
Gréeke
against
him
,
whom
hée
found
so
neare
,
that
to
hit
him
,
he
was
faine
to
draw
back
his
armes
,
and
with
a
fierce
incounter
he
ranne
his
shield
through
,
and
wounded
him
on
the
breast
,
making
him
stagger
backwards
,
and
to
helpe
him
downe
,
hee
raised
his
axe
,
and
discharging
it
on
the
side
of
his
helme
,
he
cut
away
all
that
part
,
with
a
great
peece
of
his
inchaunted
gorget
.
He
felled
him
at
his
féete
,
and
was
so
eager
to
end
with
him
,
that
hee
forgot
his
other
aduersarie
,
who
assayling
him
at
his
backe
,
gaue
him
so
fierce
a
blowe
vpon
his
middle
,
that
his
companion
executing
ano
,
ther
in
the
same
place
,
they
had
almost
felled
him
.
Neuer
was
Beare
nor
Tiger
more
fierce
then
now
the
Prince
became
against
his
enemies
,
raising
aloft
his
axe
.
He
could
not
misse
his
blowe
,
for
they
were
before
him
.
So
with
all
his
strength
he
hit
one
on
the
shoulders
,
the
blowe
was
so
mightie
,
that
all
the
blade
he
hid
within
his
breast
,
splitting
his
heart
in
two
.
Scarce
had
he
finished
this
,
when
he
laide
vppon
his
other
enemie
,
who
was
so
skilful
,
that
ere
the
axe
descended
,
he
got
vnder
his
armes
,
running
at
his
breast
with
a
thrust
.
This
blow
much
gréeued
the
Gréeke
,
for
it
stopt
the
passage
of
his
breath
:
and
hee
seemed
to
awaite
the
axe
:
but
for
all
the
haste
he
made
to
ward
the
blowe
,
it
first
crowned
him
with
death
,
for
falling
on
his
head
,
diuided
in
two
,
he
sent
him
to
accompany
his
friend
.
The
hideous
noyse
which
hee
heard
in
the
next
roome
,
would
let
him
take
no
rest
,
but
rather
leaning
on
his
axe
,
he
stayed
more
warily
to
sée
what
it
was
.
When
presently
with
admiration
he
was
amazed
,
seeing
the
feareful
Minotaure
so
vgly
and
deformed
.
His
face
was
like
a
mans
,
although
farre
bigger
:
his
eyes
glowed
like
a
furnace
of
kindled
fire
.
On
his
large
front
hee
had
two
mightie
hornes
,
whose
poynts
were
harder
then
any
Diamond
:
his
necke
short
and
thicke
.
So
big
and
broad
a
breast
he
had
,
that
the
very
fight
witnessed
his
strength
.
He
was
of
a
dunne
colour
,
and
went
vpright
as
wel
on
his
hinder
legs
,
as
on
all
foure
.
In
stead
of
clouen
féete
,
hee
had
most
sharpe
clawes
,
with
which
there
was
no
armor
but
he
would
rent
.
In
bignesse
he
was
but
as
an
ordinarie
Bull
,
yet
swifter
then
an
Ounce
,
and
so
with
his
strength
he
assured
his
light
incounters
.
With
such
fiercenesse
hee
came
,
that
the
Prince
thought
he
should
want
time
to
view
him
.
Neuerthelesse
,
he
fixed
his
foote
strongly
on
the
paued
yard
,
vntil
approaching
to
execute
his
blowe
,
hee
gaue
him
way
,
letting
him
passe
swifter
then
the
winde
.
There
wanted
no
spectacles
to
ouer-view
the
battel
,
for
the
windowes
ouer
the
yarde
were
full
of
beauteous
Ladies
,
among
whom
,
(
had
he
but
his
right
iudgement
)
he
might
haue
séene
the
tamer
of
his
heart
:
neither
did
their
want
gallant
Knights
to
accompany
them
,
for
Dedalus
had
also
prouided
that
,
when
he
first
made
that
inchantment
in
reuenge
of
Ariadnes
wrong
.
The
spéedie
returne
of
the
lustful
Quéenes
sonnes
returne
,
put
him
from
his
gazing
:
but
hee
found
the
Prince
so
watchful
,
that
his
hastie
course
was
to
no
effect
.
Thrée
carriers
past
they
thus
,
neither
wounding
the
other
,
yet
so
wel
could
not
the
Prince
defend
himselfe
,
but
at
last
the
Bul
met
with
him
.
He
strooke
him
not
ful
with
both
hornes
,
for
so
he
had
indaungered
him
,
saue
with
one
,
hitting
him
on
the
shoulder
,
which
forced
him
to
shewe
more
signes
to
be
a
tumbler
,
then
a
skilfull
Knight
.
He
was
so
abashed
to
be
so
vsed
,
that
fiercer
then
any
Tiger
hee
stayed
his
returne
:
which
hee
did
with
his
accustomed
lightnesse
.
Him
did
the
warlike
Gréeke
expect
with
his
axe
on
high
,
till
he
approached
so
neare
,
that
to
his
thinking
he
could
not
loose
his
blow
:
with
all
his
strength
he
turned
it
,
giuing
the
furious
Minotaure
such
a
blowe
betwéene
his
hornes
,
that
he
made
him
giue
backe
.
He
thrust
the
blade
so
much
forth
,
that
the
blow
was
but
with
the
staffe
,
which
sounded
as
if
it
had
fallen
on
a
plate
of
stéele
.
With
his
pawes
the
beast
catched
at
the
Prince
,
who
with
a
leape
escaped
him
,
swaying
about
his
dangerous
weapon
,
discharged
it
on
his
fore
knée
,
whose
hard
hyde
could
not
saue
it
from
cutting
cleane
off
.
Neuer
on
the
earth
was
heard
more
fearefull
bellowing
then
the
Bull
made
,
wounded
so
dangerously
.
Somewhat
carelesse
stood
the
youth
,
thinking
on
the
venturous
blowe
he
had
made
,
that
he
was
forced
to
receiue
one
nothing
inferior
to
his
:
for
the
beast
suddenly
ran
at
him
with
both
his
hornes
.
To
the
fine
temper
of
his
brestplate
,
is
Claramants
life
imputed
:
for
had
it
bene
otherwise
,
from
side
to
side
hee
had
pierced
him
:
but
finding
a
stay
,
so
fiercely
to
resist
him
,
he
was
strooke
with
a
sore
fall
on
the
paued
ground
.
There
,
hauing
his
other
foote
to
helpe
him
with
,
he
had
surely
slaine
him
.
Neuerthelesse
,
with
his
right
pawe
(
which
was
that
was
left
)
he
tooke
hold
of
his
shoulder
,
and
wroong
him
so
hard
,
that
the
Prince
thought
that
part
,
to
be
crushed
to
péeces
.
He
drew
it
to
himselfe
,
bringing
away
all
it
catcht
in
his
enchaunted
clawes
,
which
was
his
vanbrace
.
So
strongly
he
hoysed
the
Gréeke
,
that
he
set
him
on
his
féete
.
Some
feare
conceiued
the
haughtie
youth
,
at
the
beastly
creatures
fiercenesse
.
He
was
not
able
to
vse
his
axe
,
before
the
Minotaure
holding
down
his
head
,
tooke
him
betwéen
his
hornes
,
and
floong
him
excéeding
high
into
the
emptie
ayre
:
falling
so
miserably
on
the
stones
vpon
his
left
arme
,
that
he
thought
it
and
his
body
all
brused
.
Here
Galtenor
dares
not
vndertake
certainly
to
expresse
the
rage
that
possessed
the
Gréeke
Prince
.
The
hardest
Dyamond
would
he
haue
cleft
:
so
fierce
he
turned
vpon
Pasiphaes
sonne
,
that
like
lightning
came
against
him
,
againe
to
hoyst
him
on
his
hornes
:
but
before
he
approached
to
execute
his
furious
encounter
,
Trebatios
sonne
discharged
such
a
blowe
on
one
of
his
hornes
,
that
it
and
part
of
his
head
came
to
the
ground
,
and
from
〈◊〉
wound
issued
gutters
of
gore
blood
.
Shrill
shoutes
of
hideous
cryes
ecchoed
throghout
the
edifice
,
answering
the
Bulles
roaring
.
Who
closed
with
the
Gréeke
,
casting
his
clawes
vpon
his
sword
hills
,
the
which
he
drew
forth
,
laying
such
a
blowe
vpon
his
helme
,
that
with
hands
and
knées
he
kissed
the
earth
.
He
feared
not
so
much
his
combat
against
Theseus
,
being
without
armour
,
then
now
séeing
his
weapon
in
his
enemies
hand
.
Increased
so
was
his
feare
,
hearing
a
clamourous
noyse
that
saide
.
Dead
art
thou
distressed
Prince
,
for
neuer
shalt
thou
sée
thy
desired
Parents
,
nor
thy
new
friend
that
expects
thée
.
It
was
no
time
to
make
reply
to
those
words
,
nor
séeke
for
them
that
spake
them
:
for
the
diuellish
beast
fenst
with
the
sword
so
brauely
and
quicke
,
that
he
constrained
the
Gréeke
to
vse
all
his
possible
care
to
shun
his
blowes
by
his
dexteritie
.
And
the
Bulles
bleeding
,
was
to
his
no
small
auaile
,
for
with
his
turning
it
fell
on
his
eyes
,
that
it
much
blinded
his
sight
.
So
wel
could
not
Alphebos
brother
saue
himselfe
,
but
he
was
ouertane
with
a
mightie
blowe
,
sidelong
it
lighted
on
his
necke
péece
,
cutting
most
part
therof
:
and
had
the
stroke
bene
giuen
aduisedly
,
his
necke
from
his
shoulders
he
had
sundred
.
The
beast
euer
so
closed
with
the
Prince
,
that
he
could
not
fetch
about
with
his
axe
,
that
taking
it
by
the
toppe
,
he
could
no
more
but
strike
him
with
the
point
,
yet
all
the
blade
with
the
strength
of
his
armes
he
hid
within
his
brest
,
and
thrust
him
away
all
the
length
of
his
axe
,
that
he
could
not
hit
him
with
his
sword
,
being
out
of
his
reach
.
There
is
no
poysonous
Basseliske
to
be
compared
with
the
wrathful
man-halfe-Bull
:
who
casting
flouds
of
blood
from
his
eye
and
brest
,
prosecuted
his
disordered
battle
so
cruelly
,
that
the
vexed
Gréek
breathlesse
,
and
tyred
with
ouermuch
labor
,
knewe
not
which
way
to
turne
himselfe
.
And
for
all
he
sawe
the
Monster
deadly
wounded
,
yet
he
misdoubted
the
victorie
,
because
he
neuer
reached
him
with
the
sharpe
slising
sword
,
but
it
made
him
set
his
knées
to
the
earth
.
All
the
yard
was
dyed
with
beastly
bloodie
gore
,
and
such
abundance
therof
he
had
shed
,
that
he
séemed
nothing
so
fierce
as
in
the
beginning
.
Well
did
Claramant
perceiue
it
,
which
infused
new
hopes
in
his
fainting
minde
.
A
thousand
times
called
he
himself
coward
,
séeing
that
battle
so
long
continued
,
which
he
iudged
his
friend
would
haue
had
long
afore
ended
,
if
he
were
in
his
place
.
Most
circumspectly
,
and
with
the
greatest
care
he
could
,
he
awayted
,
and
it
was
not
in
vaine
towards
the
ending
of
the
cruell
fight
:
for
the
fierce
beast
returning
with
his
full
carreir
,
he
strooke
him
on
the
head
:
in
two
he
cleft
it
,
and
felde
him
dead
at
his
féete
.
He
was
no
sooner
downe
,
but
all
that
edefice
was
couered
ouer
with
thicke
blacke
fogge
.
Shrikes
and
howlings
were
heard
,
vgly
illusions
and
fantasmos
,
appeared
to
the
Prince
,
that
had
he
not
bene
Claramant
,
there
he
had
for
euer
left
his
life
.
The
horror
which
the
Castle
and
all
the
Inchauntment
made
in
the
vanishing
,
strooke
him
in
a
traunce
on
the
ground
,
and
was
no
lesse
,
then
if
heauen
and
earth
should
haue
met
with
fierce
incounters
.
An
houre
and
more
lasted
the
tempestuous
noyse
,
in
the
end
wherof
,
the
skies
cleared
,
and
Claramant
found
himself
neare
to
the
Fountaine
of
the
thrée
Pipes
,
from
whence
Claridiano
ranne
to
imbrace
him
,
and
ioyfull
to
sée
him
safe
,
said
taking
off
his
Helme
.
How
doo
you
féele
your selfe
(
most
valiant
Knight
?
)
for
I
am
sure
,
considering
the
outragious
cries
I
heard
,
you
haue
not
bene
idle
.
I
haue
vndergone
all
things
easily
(
sir
Knight
)
replied
his
vncle
,
only
by
hoping
of
your
sight
,
which
hath
lessened
all
my
troubles
if
any
be
sustained
.
So
sitting
downe
at
the
Fountaine
,
he
related
to
him
all
his
successes
,
wherat
his
cousin
remained
no
lesse
amazed
then
content
,
iudging
the
knight
to
be
the
sonne
of
vallour
,
of
whome
Claridiano
intreated
he
might
know
who
he
was
.
Were
it
for
nothing
else
(
Sir
Knight
replied
Claramant
)
but
to
satisfie
your
content
,
I
should
haue
thought
my selfe
most
happie
,
if
Fortune
would
haue
let
me
tell
you
who
I
am
:
But
hauing
so
fauoured
me
with
your
deare
sight
and
acquaintance
,
no
maruel
if
this
pleasure
so
sauour
of
some
discontent
,
as
in
not
being
able
to
reueale
my
parentage
to
you
,
because
indéed
I
knowe
not
who
I
am
,
more
then
that
I
haue
some
yeares
bene
nourished
in
this
Groue
,
being
made
excéeding
much
of
,
yet
not
knowing
by
whom
,
nor
for
what
cause
,
it
is
incredible
.
Sometimes
to
comfort
me
in
my
solitarinesse
,
they
told
me
I
was
of
Greece
,
and
of
Noble
parents
.
There
is
no
ioy
comparable
to
Claridianos
,
hearing
he
was
a
Gréeke
,
perswading
himselfe
certainly
he
was
his
kinsman
.
Againe
he
imbraced
him
,
gratulating
his
being
of
that
Countrey
,
and
his
Countrey
man
.
Claramant
requested
also
to
know
him
,
since
the
friendship
vowed
betwéene
them
,
might
allow
no
secret
from
the
other
.
To
please
him
,
Claridiano
did
it
.
The
kissing
of
his
hands
intreated
his
faire
vncle
,
saying
.
The
not
knowing
you
(
soueraigne
Prince
)
hath
made
me
commit
so
manifest
an
error
:
wherefore
in
signe
of
inpenetrated
pardon
,
graunt
me
your
victorious
hands
,
that
I
may
thereon
expiate
the
offering
of
my
innocency
on
them
,
due
to
your
worthinesse
.
His
tender
Cousin
imbraced
him
and
said
.
Most
valiant
Knight
,
this
is
not
tollerable
,
yours
being
of
such
deserts
,
meriting
the
dutie
of
all
the
world
:
And
trust
me
,
you
are
too
blame
to
vse
me
with
such
ceremonies
,
that
am
your
professed
friend
,
and
wil
be
til
the
death
.
All
that
day
they
rested
there
,
in
pleasant
conuersation
passing
away
the
time
,
where
Palisandro
reioyced
in
his
very
soule
,
that
his
Lord
had
found
so
mightie
a
friend
.
So
many
things
did
the
Prince
discourse
to
him
of
Grecia
,
which
so
contented
Claramant
,
that
he
intreated
him
to
returne
and
accompany
him
thither
:
The
which
Archisiloras
Louer
graunted
,
purposing
to
discouer
himselfe
to
none
,
arriued
in
Crecia
,
and
so
he
praied
his
vncle
.
In
the
afternoone
,
the
two
Heroicke
warriors
tooke
their
way
towards
the
Sea
.
At
their
departure
from
the
Fountaine
,
on
the
Piller
that
contained
the
former
words
,
they
reade
these
.
The
intricate
Laborinth
and
vanquishment
of
Theseus
,
the
most
ingratefullest
of
all
Louers
,
was
ended
by
the
mightie
Kinght
of
the
Lyons
,
in
presence
of
his
greatest
friend
and
kinsman
:
by
whom
he
first
receiued
his
libertie
.
And
so
both
ended
the
famousest
aduenture
in
the
world
.
The
suspitious
words
to
be
neare
Allies
,
could
not
more
augment
the
Louers
amitie
betwéene
the
two
haughtie
youthes
,
although
they
increased
new
ioy
,
hoping
in
the
end
that
Prophecie
would
issue
true
.
Thus
they
arriued
at
the
sea
shore
,
where
they
founde
their
inchaunted
Barke
richly
prouided
with
all
necessaries
for
the
Gréeke
Princes
.
Who
being
shipt
therein
,
with
more
fury
then
doth
a
Commet
crosse
the
azure
skies
,
it
launched
into
the
déepe
.
Where
of
force
we
must
leaue
them
,
returning
to
Greece

CHAP.

How
Lysarte
King
of
Tharsis
,
and
his
sonne
Florisarte
,
Prince
of
Argentaria
,
arriued
with
their
Fleete
within
sight
of
the
Maruellous
Tower
,
and
what
else
happened
.
ALthough
I
am
constrained
altogither
vnwillingly
to
leaue
treating
of
Loue
and
Loues
discourses
,
yet
wil
I
not
leaue
to
implore
your
fauours
(
bewteous
Ladies
)
to
march
vnder
the
displayed
Ensigne
of
sterne
and
bloodie
Mars
.
For
if
it
he
wel
considered
,
this
is
an
amorous
warre
,
procéeding
of
affection
,
wherein
the
chéefest
and
valiantest
thereof
,
imparts
no
blowe
vpon
their
enemies
,
but
is
guided
by
Cupid
.
Some
fight
here
to
please
their
Ladies
,
others
,
to
giue
her
libertie
inclosed
in
the
Tower
,
whose
loue
many
prosecuted
,
but
only
by
one
is
obtained
.
And
others
to
become
Louers
,
choose
this
warre
as
their
best
meanes
for
it
,
which
indéed
sorted
not
in
vaine
,
because
many
sacrificed
their
liberties
to
vnknowne
Ladies
,
especially
in
Greece
,
where
the
blinde
God
kept
the
greatest
part
of
his
treasure
,
wherewith
he
captiuates
the
strongest
hearts
.
So
that
(
diuine
Ladies
)
while
I
follow
Mars
his
Drumme
,
I
doo
not
forget
the
footing
of
Cupids
daunces
.
And
this
opinion
is
wel
confirmed
by
the
gallant
Florisarte
,
Prince
of
Argentaria
,
who
neither
Armes
,
nor
the
being
among
so
many
bloods
,
could
extinguish
the
remembrance
of
his
Loue
,
not
knowing
who
it
was
,
saue
only
to
maintaine
his
word
,
ingaged
to
disguised
Artinio
,
that
for
Arbolindas
sake
,
the
faire
Princesse
of
Scotland
had
so
laide
that
plot
,
heretofore
recited
:
whose
memorie
and
absence
,
made
him
within
his
Helme
drowne
his
eyes
in
teares
.
It
is
common
(
excellent
Ladies
)
among
amourous
Gallants
,
alwaies
to
bewaile
their
greatest
euil
,
although
many
other
present
daungers
doo
incompasse
them
.
In
this
perplexitie
the
valiant
youth
in
his
fathers
company
,
with
all
his
Fléete
nauigated
the
Gréeke
sea
with
prosperous
winde
.
With
such
great
desire
came
the
Argentarians
,
and
men
of
Tharsis
to
fight
,
that
they
thought
they
should
neuer
sée
the
occasion
to
shew
their
kings
how
greatly
they
desired
to
haue
them
.
Ten
dayes
they
sayled
on
the
Vast
seas
,
méeting
with
nothing
that
might
hinder
their
voyage
,
bearing
the
Gréeke
armes
in
middest
of
their
Cullours
.
The
eleuenth
day
early
in
the
morne
,
they
discryed
a
mightie
.
Nauie
of
ships
and
Gallies
,
houering
vp
and
downe
,
vpon
the
calme
waters
.
They
were
aboue
seuen
hundreth
sayles
.
So
not
knowing
what
they
were
,
nor
of
whose
part
,
they
strook
alarm
,
séeing
the
great
aduantage
they
had
ouer
them
,
both
in
winde
,
and
lightnesse
of
vesselles
.
The
Fléete
of
the
Tharsian
Prince
,
in
good
order
began
to
cast
about
in
manner
of
a
halfe
Moone
,
discharging
two
péeces
of
ordinance
,
in
signe
of
battle
,
setting
forwards
against
their
aduersaries
.
Who
as
it
séemed
trusting
to
their
strength
of
multitudes
,
made
ready
their
well
furnished
ships
,
and
answered
them
in
like
manner
,
aduancing
on
their
Admirall
,
their
royall
armes
:
and
thus
they
approached
one
an
other
,
séeming
to
couer
the
seas
.
Foure
of
the
Agentarian
Gallies
rowed
forth
without
,
spread
sayles
to
discouer
their
aduersaries
ensignes
,
which
to
their
content
they
discried
:
for
being
in
sight
of
them
,
they
saw
the
imperiall
Eagle
,
with
two
crowned
heads
,
the
selfesame
they
had
.
In
signe
of
peace
and
message
,
the
Tharsians
hung
out
a
white
flagge
.
So
they
were
suffered
to
passe
among
their
ships
,
whose
numbers
of
men
and
fierce
Gyants
amazed
them
.
They
boorded
the
Admirall
,
from
whence
two
ancient
Knights
of
Argentaria
,
were
in
a
Barge
,
conducted
to
the
royall
Galleon
,
where
they
deliuered
their
embassage
vnto
a
mightie
knight
,
that
little
wanted
of
a
Gyants
heigth
,
telling
him
how
in
their
fléete
were
the
kings
of
Tharsis
,
and
Argentaria
,
from
whom
hauing
séene
their
armes
,
they
came
to
know
whether
they
were
on
the
part
of
Grecia
,
vnder
whose
standard
they
also
fought
.
These
newes
excéedingly
gladded
the
gallant
youth
,
being
no
lesse
then
valiant
Abstrusio
:
who
would
néeds
expresse
his
thankfulnesse
for
what
Rosabell
had
done
for
him
,
hauing
through
his
valour
and
strength
obtained
his
faire
Syrinda
:
who
knowing
that
her
Abstrusio
went
to
Grecia
,
would
not
stay
without
him
,
dreading
the
want
of
his
presence
.
And
so
to
conduct
her
with
more
safetie
,
hee
had
mustered
togither
from
both
kingdomes
and
all
the
Ilands
he
had
conquered
by
his
valour
,
300.
thousand
Combattants
,
the
skilfullest
in
Nauigation
in
all
the
wide
world
besides
,
and
he
himselfe
excelling
all
others
therein
,
because
with
aduantage
to
giue
a
battell
on
the
seas
,
hée
seemed
to
haue
bene
onely
borne
thereto
:
hee
brought
with
him
500.
puissant
giants
his
friends
,
that
to
please
him
with
many
of
their
knights
,
accompanied
him
in
that
voyage
.
And
in
his
ship
to
guard
his
deare
lady
,
were
twentie
,
proportioned
like
to
plesse
pynes
.
Now
séeing
the
Nauie
,
he
had
reputed
to
be
against
him
,
came
on
the
●ehalfe
of
his
honoured
Prince
,
he
declared
who
he
was
,
and
how
he
reioyced
to
haue
met
such
friends
vnto
the
Gréekes
and
Rosabell
.
Presently
they
sounded
in
signe
of
peace
,
yet
many
of
Abstrusios
followers
,
and
Argentarians
,
gréeued
thereat
,
because
they
first
desired
to
haue
made
tryall
of
theyr
persons
:
but
long
was
it
not
after
,
that
they
had
occasion
to
do
it
.
By
this
was
it
knowne
to
Lysart
,
who
his
reputed
enemie
was
,
and
so
to
shew
him
extraordinarie
courtesie
,
he
and
his
sonne
with
fo●●e
Lords
of
estimation
went
to
visit
him
,
whereof
Abstrusio
being
aduertised
,
expected
their
comming
on
the
hatches
of
his
Galleon
,
commanding
as
they
passed
by
,
they
should
be
welcommed
with
a
generall
peale
of
Ordinance
from
all
his
ships
:
which
was
performed
in
such
good
sort
,
that
the
haughtie
Lysart
much
commended
their
good
entertainment
:
who
with
all
his
company
went
aboord●
of
the
Galleon
:
and
most
kindly
the
two
lustie
warriers
embraced
one
an
other
.
And
so
being
knowne
how
they
were
all
voyagers
for
one
enterprise
,
and
eyther
relating
how
much
they
were
bound
to
Rosabell
,
the
mightie
Abstrusio
burst
forth
into
these
words
.
Oh
Ioue
,
now
I
am
fully
assured
,
how
effectually
thou
dost
impart
thy
fauours
to
the
Gréekes
:
and
I
nothing
wonder
at
the
lamentable
desolation
of
ruined
Troy
,
since
al
the
good
aduentures
of
the
world
are
soly
reserued
for
them
,
as
due
to
their
worths
.
And
your
Maiestie
hath
reason
mightie
king
of
Tharsis
,
to
shewe
the
office
of
a
friend
vnto
so
braue
a
Prince
,
and
as
for
me
,
were
I
not
he
I
am
,
shuld
I
denie
what
I
owe
,
since
through
him
I
enioy
my
life
,
possesse
my
kingdome
,
and
that
which
is
more
,
and
I
most
estéeme
,
is
the
happie
fruition
of
my
deare
wife
.
And
then
he
told
him
all
that
hapned
with
him
,
to
Rosabels
immortall
glory
.
So
Lysarte
requited
his
discourse
with
an
other
of
his
Loues
,
and
that
therefore
hee
brought
that
Nauy
to
ayde
them
.
It
is
no
more
then
due
(
said
Abstrusio
)
to
helpe
him
that
helpes
so
many
to
obtaine
their
ioyes
,
in
whose
pursute
let
vs
spend
our
liues
,
to
make
him
happie
in
content
.
And
so
ioyning
both
fléetes
togither
by
the
Tharsians
direction
,
they
set
forwards
,
for
Lysarte
was
best
acquainted
with
those
seas
,
and
knew
where
the
enchauntment
stood
,
hauing
bene
at
it
when
he
freed
Rosabell
from
it
.
Who
desirous
to
honor
the
Pagan
with
more
then
ordinarie
courtesie
,
commanded
to
be
proclaimed
throughout
his
Fléete
,
that
euery
one
should
obey
the
mightie
Abstrusio
,
as
their
Captaine
Generall
.
Who
taking
some
offence
thereat
,
said
.
Since
our
amitie
must
be
of
such
force
and
continuance
,
I
wold
not
(
mightie
Prince
)
you
wold
vse
these
ceremonies
with
me
.
I
do
,
but
what
I
know
you
deserue
and
is
your
due
.
Braue
Prince
(
replyed
Lysarte
)
and
therefore
do
but
commaund
,
and
we
will
all
obey
:
for
now
and
at
all
times
,
we
entend
to
be
your
souldiers
,
and
so
hée
intreated
him
to
passe
into
his
Galley
▪
but
not
able
to
obtaine
it
,
hee
and
his
sonne
were
faine
to
stay
in
that
Galleon
.
With
the
noise
of
many
instruments
,
the
two
puissant
Nauies
began
to
shape
their
course
towards
Nyquea
.
They
had
such
faire
weather
and
prosperous
winde
,
that
on
the
fourth
day
of
their
Nauigation
,
they
discried
the
flames
of
fire
that
issued
from
the
Tower
.
Thither
they
turned
their
course
,
sending
forth
sixe
swift
sayling
Gallies
,
to
discouer
their
way
.
The
which
were
so
neare
the
Tower
,
that
they
sawe
a
most
daungerous
battell
fought
betwéene
the
Arches
.
The
reason
was
,
for
that
the
mightie
Brauorant
making
his
abode
there
,
would
suffer
none
to
prooue
the
ascending
vp
.
Some
about
it
had
lost
their
liues
,
and
many
their
honors
.
They
so
long
tarried
,
that
from
the
South
they
discried
before
they
went
away
,
such
an
infinit
number
of
sayles
,
that
it
amazed
their
iudgements
,
déeming
them
to
be
aboue
4000.
vesselles
of
Ships
,
Barkes
and
Gallies
.
Neuer
did
Xerses
sée
at
once
so
many
sayles
togither
.
This
fléete
was
the
mightie
Soldans
of
Nyquea
,
with
whom
all
his
friends
beeing
ioyned
,
came
thitherward
couering
all
the
sea
of
Greece
.
In
the
Admirall
,
was
the
two
Soldanes
of
Nyquea
and
Egypt
,
being
a
brother
of
his
whom
Rosabell
slew
.
Who
séeing
himselfe
so
mightie
,
resolued
with
all
his
strength
to
reuenge
his
brothers
death
,
and
his
was
the
greatest
part
of
that
power
.
With
them
ioyned
the
Prince
of
Syconia
,
Venus
Louer
,
the
Sophy
,
the
mightie
King
of
Assyria
,
with
the
Phenician
:
who
hoping
there
to
sée
their
sonnes
,
as
Lupercio
tolde
them
,
agreed
to
ayde
the
Souldan
of
Nyquea
.
Also
very
strongly
came
braue
Epirabio
,
with
proude
Brufaldoro
,
Brauo●●…nts
great
enemie
.
Many
men
brought
not
Bembo
Prince
of
Achaya
,
but
without
doubt
,
the
valiantest
and
most
expert
in
warre
.
Enuious
Lupersio
so
well
pleaded
for
this
braue
knight
,
that
he
caused
him
to
be
created
Lord
Generall
both
by
sea
and
land
,
hee
accepted
the
honor
,
iudging
his
strength
to
be
sufficient
to
discharge
a
greater
charge
.
He
named
for
his
Lieftenant
and
Substitute
by
sea
,
the
discreet
king
of
Assyria
,
because
he
had
rather
fight
by
Land
,
that
he
might
order
and
dispose
of
the
Shippes
and
gallies
,
least
their
numbers
breaking
into
disorder
,
might
hazard
their
victorie
,
which
otherwise
they
had
assured
.
Euery
one
highly
estéemed
him
,
séeing
his
gallant
behauiour
,
and
knowing
how
he
was
honoured
throughout
the
world
.
So
many
hundred
thousands
of
men
they
brought
,
that
he
thought
he
was
able
with
them
to
subdue
all
the
world
:
For
most
of
the
Princes
were
accompanied
with
furious
Giants
,
and
many
Sagitaries
:
especially
the
Soldane
of
Egypt
,
because
his
country
affoorded
most
.
With
such
noyse
they
arriued
at
the
Tower
,
as
if
heauen
and
earth
had
met
.
Yet
for
all
this
,
did
not
the
two
Combattants
desist
from
the
cruell
sight
,
vntill
the
strange
knight
saw
how
great
a
Fléete
made
thitherward
,
and
then
thinking
it
no
wit
,
longer
to
stay
,
with
a
cruel
point
thrust
the
sturdie
Brauorant
from
him
,
and
turning
his
barke
,
put
foorth
into
the
sea
,
leauing
the
inraged
Pagan
so
furious
,
that
hee
was
about
to
follow
him
.
Hée
was
nothing
daunted
with
the
sight
of
so
huge
a
Nauie
,
but
rather
wished
they
would
assault
him
,
that
hee
might
execute
on
them
the
wrath
that
the
knight
had
put
him
in
,
who
was
none
other
,
but
the
bewtious
Archysilora
,
who
séeing
the
flames
,
came
to
the
Tower
.
Within
sight
she
stood
,
and
so
did
the
sixe
Gallies
,
to
sée
what
order
they
tooke
.
With
soueraigne
prayses
did
Lupersio
extoll
the
merits
of
the
Knight
of
the
Tower
,
so
euery
one
called
him
.
They
all
reioyced
knowing
whose
sonne
he
was
,
and
how
he
would
take
their
part
.
He
aduertised
his
friend
Bembo
,
to
honour
him
:
for
in
him
consisted
the
sure
hopes
of
that
doubtfull
victorie
.
The
Prince
did
so
,
sending
a
Galley
to
salute
him
in
his
name
.
A
little
did
not
the
Pagan
estéeme
the
account
that
was
made
of
him
,
&
much
honoured
Bembo
,
being
acquainted
with
him
.
By
Lupercios
counsell
the
thrée
most
mightie
Pagans
,
Bembo
,
Brauorant
,
and
Brufaldoro
,
his
competitor
,
placed
themselues
before
the
Arches
,
for
he
●…red
what
after
did
insue
:
and
there
(
had
it
not
beene
in
respect
of
Bembo
)
would
Brauorant
haue
had
assaulted
the
Mauritanian
.
There
was
neuer
a
Prince
in
all
the
Fléet
,
but
went
to
know
him
,
all
whom
he
receiued
with
singular
courtesie
.
But
how
he
tendred
Floraliza
,
requires
a
new
storie
:
hers
was
the
third
voyce
in
counsel
of
war
,
for
that
dignitie
had
Lupercio
procured
her
,
by
whose
direction
all
the
armie
was
gouerned
.
Neuerthelesse
,
greatly
sorrowed
the
Soldane
of
Nyquea
for
his
sonnes
absence
,
thinking
his
presence
would
haue
assured
his
hopes
.
Scarce
had
that
mightie
Nauie
cast
about
the
Tower
,
when
another
no
lesse
puissant
then
it
,
appeared
Eastward
from
the
coast
of
Grecia
,
the
which
but
stripping
the
windes
,
purposed
to
get
the
aduantage
of
his
enemies
.
It
was
the
Emperour
Trebatios
,
that
with
fiue
hundreth
shippes
and
galleyes
made
towards
the
highst
part
of
the
Tower
:
somewhat
a
farre
off
,
and
from
the
toppes
of
their
masts
they
could
descrie
the
Fléete
at
the
Tower
,
which
they
iudged
to
be
their
enemies
.
Neuer
did
Neptune
on
the
seas
behold
a
thing
more
stupendious
,
for
both
armies
seemed
two
populous
Citties
.
In
the
royall
Admiral
,
all
the
Princes
were
met
to
consult
on
the
giuing
of
the
battel
.
The
Emperor
brought
with
him
the
best
men
in
all
his
Empire
,
and
in
his
guard
his
sonne
Rosicler
,
the
warlike
Rosamond
,
with
famous
Brandafidel
,
and
the
stout
Bramidoro
king
of
Cerdenā
.
For
the
Ladie
perswading
her selfe
that
in
so
renowmed
an
enterprise
,
her
beloued
Dacian
would
surely
be
,
would
not
stay
in
Grecia
;
but
rather
clad
in
her
rich
armour
,
was
one
that
wonne
most
honour
both
on
sea
and
land
.
With
him
also
came
the
sonnes
of
the
mightie
Croanto
,
Lord
of
the
Carmenian
Iles
,
knights
,
whose
like
the
world
contained
fewe
.
No
lesse
guarded
was
the
Emperor
Alphebos
Admiral
,
within
which
there
was
besides
himselfe
,
his
deare
Empresse
Teffereo
,
and
the
two
valiant
Spanish
brothers
:
for
his
more
safetie
,
he
had
with
him
twelue
Gyants
his
neighbours
,
then
who
in
all
the
aduerse
armie
,
there
was
none
valianter
,
nor
that
with
more
trust
and
care
defended
their
Prince
.
The
Spanish
Admirall
was
one
of
the
brauest
and
best
furnisht
shippe
in
eithers
Fleet
,
for
therein
would
Torismundo
shewe
his
magnifisence
,
with
his
brother
in
lawe
Clauerindo
,
and
both
their
sonnes
that
were
in
her
,
and
at
their
guard
fiftie
Spanish
knights
,
that
against
Mars
,
neither
of
them
would
refuse
the
combat
.
The
new
King
of
Thessaly
,
would
néeds
manifest
how
much
he
was
bound
vnto
the
Greekes
,
to
whom
with
his
Sarmatia
,
the
first
onset
was
committed
,
and
to
be
seconded
by
the
Spanish
and
French
,
as
men
most
hardiest
at
the
first
assaults
.
The
Emperor
Trebatio
like
a
wise
Captaine
,
shewed
himselfe
in
sanguine
coloured
armor
(
for
this
deuice
pleased
him
best
)
and
mounted
the
hatches
of
his
ship
,
that
euery
one
might
sée
him
.
With
him
came
the
two
wise
men
,
Lyrgandeo
&
A●tomidoro
,
who
as
yet
knew
not
the
end
of
the
aduenture
,
for
it
was
in
Medeas
bookes
,
and
he
that
had
them
,
was
their
friend
Nabato
,
that
in
a
Cloude
houered
ouer
the
Tower
(
for
his
deare
Don
Elenos
sake
)
least
Lupercio
with
his
exercismes
might
deuise
some
newe
treason
against
the
Lady
enchaunted
there
.
The
counsell
was
ended
,
with
resolution
straight
to
begin
the
battel
,
although
there
wanted
the
Kings
of
Antioch
,
Babylon
and
Persia
,
whose
presence
was
greatly
missed
.
Euery
Prince
and
commaunder
passed
to
his
owne
ship
,
to
order
theyr
necessarie
affaires
.
And
while
the
quiet
waues
with
gentle
calme
hore
their
vesselles
,
the
great
Emperour
of
Greece
leaped
into
a
Frigat
,
with
his
Helme
off
:
on
the
one
side
went
his
sonne
Rosicler
,
and
on
the
other
,
Don
Elenos
faire
Lady
,
and
hauing
gone
round
about
his
Nauy
,
encouraging
his
souldiers
,
set
himselfe
in
middest
of
them
all
,
and
thus
began
.
Come
is
the
time
(
most
valiant
knights
)
wherein
déeds
will
be
more
requiset
then
words
,
hauing
such
multitudes
of
strong
enemies
to
cope
withall
:
&
if
I
be
mooued
to
speake
thus
,
beléeue
me
,
it
is
but
to
renew
the
memorie
of
the
royall
blood
from
whence
we
descend
,
&
the
glory
the
our
predecessors
from
age
to
age
haue
maintained
,
eternizing
their
fames
therby
,
to
all
posterities
:
intreating
you
as
friends
,
that
none
would
fight
otherwise
,
then
to
make
their
enemies
confesse
the
worth
of
their
persons
,
&
not
for
desire
of
spoyle
or
gaine
,
and
to
expresse
his
duty
,
loue
&
fidelitie
towards
his
God
,
Prince
and
country
:
for
this
,
&
nothing
but
this
,
will
assure
his
victorie
.
And
let
not
their
ouermatching
numbers
daunt
our
couragious
mindes
,
but
still
vphold
our
woonted
valor
,
wherewith
in
despite
of
foes
,
we
made
our
names
to
be
feared
.
There
can
be
no
greater
honor
,
then
with
glory
here
like
good
knights
to
die
,
if
sates
haue
so
appointed
.
And
since
euery
one
of
you
knowes
the
right
and
iustice
of
our
cause
,
let
vs
confidently
trusting
thereto
,
make
them
know
how
vniustly
they
haue
topsey-turuey
turned
the
world
.
Here
ended
the
braue
Emperour
,
and
with
amiable
Maiestie
,
commaunded
his
frigate
to
his
former
place
,
leauing
his
souldiers
so
animated
with
his
words
,
that
they
thought
euery
minute
long
,
till
they
met
with
their
enemies
.
Straight
he
ordered
his
battels
,
diuiding
his
Fléete
into
thrée
parts
.
The
middle
most
he
himselfe
conducted
,
being
all
the
Gréekes
and
Macedones
,
whose
Generall
was
Meridian
.
The
right
squadron
guided
the
Emperour
Alphebo
,
with
all
those
of
his
Empire
,
being
very
warlike
people
.
The
left
going
somewhat
foremost
,
ledde
Torismundo
,
Prince
of
Spaine
.
Before
than
all
went
Priams
valiant
heire
,
backt
with
some
Spanish
Galleyes
,
to
succour
those
in
most
daunger
.
On
the
Pagans
side
,
in
no
lesse
good
order
had
Bembo
disposed
his
battel
,
in
forme
of
a
halfe
Moone
,
an
vsual
custome
to
fight
among
them
:
in
which
manner
they
approached
our
Nauie
,
at
the
sound
of
many
thousand
militarie
Instruments
.
Beeing
readie
to
giue
the
o●●●t
,
the
famous
Generall
from
this
Admiral
,
spake
thus
.
Where
(
valiant
Knights
)
there
is
so
many
Princes
,
and
such
great
experience
in

,
I
should
haue
little
néed
to
aduertise
you
,
that
Fortune
hath
ministred
vnto
vs
occasion
,
foreuer
to
perpetuate
our
fame
.
Sure
may
we
account
the
victorie
,
for
beeing
as
valiant
as
our
aduersaries
,
we
excéed
them
in
numbers
,
and
may
if
me
list
,
two
or
thrée
at
once
assayle
euery
one
of
his

.
As
for
my selfe
,
loosing
my
life
in
the
office
you
haue
giuen
me
,
I
satisfie
the
dutie
of
a
knight
,
and
vow
to
be
your
generall
friend
till
death

And
therevppon
displayed
a

crossebarde
with
blacke
,
a
signe
that
none
should
take
his
foe
prisoner
,
but
shut
the

against
all

.
So
closing
his
beauer
,
lead
after
him
the

in

,
and
leaning
vnder
the
arches
the

,
those

began
to

How
the
most
cruell
fight
betweene
both
the
Nauies
began
:
and
the
admirable
successes
that
in
the
processe
thereof
happened
.
THis
is
the
time
,
béeing
incompassed
with
so
many
enemies
,
that
I
dare
not
(
faire
diuine
Ladie
)
passe
one
foote
further
without
your
speciall
fauor
.
Blacke
and
fatall
was
the
day
to
many
,
tasting
in
it
the
sower
cup
of
death
.
But
to
those
whom
fortune
was
bent
to
please
,
reseruing
their
liues
to
sée
the
dismall
bloodie
losse
of
others
,
some
comfort
was
it
to
them
,
the
hearing
of
so
many
drummes
and
trumpets
eccho
in
the
ayre
,
resounding
in
the
déepe
,
reioycing
a
so
many
displayed
flagges
and
bannerets
as
daunced
with
the
winds
,
the
waighing
of
anchors
,
and
hoysting
vp
of
sayles
,
the
noyse
which
the
poore
slaues
haue
on
the
waters
,
beating
them
with
their
oares
:
the
clamorous
cries
of
euery
Captaine
,
incouraging
those
whom
feare
had
alreadie
daunted
:
the
glistring
shine
of
armour
,
and
the
confounding
numbers
of
braue
Knights
and
fierce
Gyants
,
that
on
the
hatches
of
euerie
vessell
did
expect
their
enemies
:
these
and
such
like
sights
,
amazed
and
admired
the
beholders
.
Neptune
would
not
this
day
shew
himselfe
cruell
,
nor
Eolus
let
foorth
more
then
one
gentle
breath
,
that
did
with
swelling
pride
blowe
big
the
Pagans
sayles
.
Who
taking
aduantage
of
the
good
occasion
,
with
redoubled
courage
offered
to
grapple
,
accounting
the
conquest
theirs
.
Oh
who
is
he
,
able
to
describe
the
manner
of
so
many
deaths
that
there
were
giuen
?
So
great
was
the
smoke
issuing
from
their
shottes
,
that
they
neither
heard
nor
sawe
one
another
,
which
being
past
,
and
the
welking
clearing
ouer
head
.
Oh
Mercury
,
would
thou
wert
in
middest
of
this
battell
,
in
apt
eloquence
to
modell
foorth
the
merits
of
euery
particular
woorth
.
But
first
the
hideous
cries
of
slaughtered
bodies
,
the
noyse
of
warriours
,
the
shrikes
of
the
wounded
,
could
not
but
be
a
cruell
spectacle
:
for
they
were
all
betwéene
two
of
the
cruellest
oppressed
elements
that
were
,
fire
and
water
.
Quickly
fomed
the
seas
with
bloodie
froth
,
and
on
it
floated
the
dead
carkasses
of
sometime
liuing
creatures
.
Excéeding
great
was
the
slaughter
that
the
Christians
made
,
with
wilde
fire
and
balles
of
burning
pitch
and
rozen
.
And
as
they
vsed
all
possible
celeritie
in
casting
it
,
and
the
winde
that
played
with
their
running
wings
a
little
strong
,
by
that
meanes
was
the
destruction
,
which
they
made
infinit
:
for
neither
striking
of
sayles
,
remoouing
cabbins
,
and
casting
ouerboord
all
necessarie
tackle
,
auayled
to
auoyde
the
mercilesse
deuouring
fire
,
which
left
neither
mast
nor
sayle
vnconsumed
.
Oh
cruell
Soldan
of
Nyquea
,
that
doest
delight
to
sée
the
thing
that
would
haue
moued
Nero
to
some
pittie
.
Straunge
waies
for
deathes
were
there
séene
,
for
some
flying
the
fire
,
perished
in
the
waters
:
nor
is
there
a
friend
,
that
will
helpe
the
other
.
The
father
in
such
hurlebourly
knowes
not
his
deare
sonne
,
nor
he
remembers
his
sire
to
pay
him
the
debt
he
owes
him
,
for
life
and
nurture
.
Only
euery
one
procures
to
liue
,
and
when
he
cannot
scape
,
to
die
,
not
to
depart
vnreuenged
.
This
satisfaction
was
the
sole
comfort
to
them
,
that
with
cruell
wounds
flung
at
their
enemies
,
and
stumbling
on
their
owne
guttes
,
embraced
a
willing
death
,
togither
with
their
aduersaries
.
Some
hanging
by
their
strong
hands
ouerboord
,
sawe
the
cruell
axe
descend
,
and
cut
them
from
his
holde
,
and
he
reioyced
with
such
a
death
,
rather
then
to
be
hewen
in
péeces
by
an
Infidel
.
Others
embraced
like
good
friends
,
sought
their
endes
in
the
lowest
déepes
,
glad
to
kill
,
being
killed
.
The
proper
life
is
heere
had
but
in
equall
estimation
with
his
aduersaries
death
.
Others
that
to
themselues
complained
towards
the
heauens
,
against
Fortune
and
their
happes
,
sawe
their
friends
come
stumbling
without
armes
and
legges
vppon
them
.
Such
was
the
confusion
among
them
,
that
no
order
could
be
obserued
,
although
therin
the
Greek
got
some
aduantage
,
because
their
vessels
were
lighter
and
better
prouided
.
The
gallant
Spanish
Captaine
with
aduise
of
his
Lieftenant
generall
,
Countie
of
Medyna
,
appointed
some
small
boates
well
furnished
,
who
with
all
necessarie
diligence
,
closely
pearced
through
tenne
of
the
Pagans
greatest
ships
,
the
which
with
such
furie
leaked
,
that
on
the
suddaine
,
not
knowing
which
way
they
were
suncke
,
with
an
infinit
number
of
men
,
chéefely
Gyants
,
whose
waights
did
soonest
ouerwhelme
them
.
Then
preuailed
not
outcries
of
Pilots
,
nor
the
hastie
calling
for
boats
,
because
the
Rowers
fearing
the
fires
which
the
Spaniards
hurled
,
rather
striued
to
saue
themselues
,
then
their
friends
,
whom
they
sawe
smothered
in
those
vnquenchable
flames
,
and
beeing
vp
to
the
chin
in
water
,
yet
séemed
to
burne
aliue
.
Peace
,
they
iudged
the
two
contrarie
elements
had
made
,
séeing
the
aboundance
of
water
could
not
frée
them
from
the
fire
,
nor
the
fire
for
feare
of
it
,
kéepe
the
waters
from
ouerwhelming
them
.
From
side
to
side
some
were
thrust
,
and
these
exclaimed
not
for
beeing
wounded
,
but
for
want
of
company
to
comfort
them
,
in
their
funerall
obsequies
.
Well
do
the
Gréekes
defend
themselues
,
offending
on
this
side
,
where
the
Spaniards
brauely
cried
S.
Iames.
And
although
they
were
confronted
thrée
to
one
,
they
gallantly
stucke
to
it
,
seeing
how
victoriously
the
Thessalians
had
assayled
their
enemies
.
Wonders
performed
the
Troyan
with
his
beloued
Sarmatia
,
against
the
Pagan
:
but
what
auuales
it
,
when
for
one
they
kil
,
there
came
twentie
in
his
place
,
and
so
on
either
side
the
battell
was
at
one
stay
:
whose
fiercenes
may
be
forgot
,
remembring
what
on
the
right
wing
was
done
,
where
the
fierce
Alphebo
which
Claridiana
commanded
,
for
no
deuise
can
there
be
distinguished
,
being
all
died
in
one
sanguine
hiew
.
There
all
other
meanes
they
did
forget
of
fight
,
saue
with
their
armes
,
that
being
come
to
handie
blowes
,
who
would
not
,
but
with
more
then
admiration
admire
,
séeing
them
boord
the
Shippe
,
wherein
the
two
Soldans
of
Egypt
and
Nyquea
were
,
walled
about
with
so
many
furious
Gyants
.
On
his
right
hand
went
his
Empresse
Claridiana
,
like
lightning
among
them
.
But
the
gallant
Teffereo
,
expressing
there
who
hee
was
,
shewed
by
good
experience
the
high
valor
of
his
person
.
I
beséech
your
Maiestie
to
follow
me
,
for
in
despight
of
our
foes
,
I
will
enter
this
ship
(
said
he
.
)
Do
so
,
for
we
will
all
back
you
(
replied
the
two
Louers
)
that
no
lesse
wisht
it
then
he
.
So
the
Ladie
desirous
to
be
first
,
couragiously
leapt
into
the
aduerse
vessel
,
and
maugre
all
the
Gyants
that
defended
it
,
she
rusht
in
among
them
:
but
it
had
like
to
haue
cost
her
life
,
for
the
Gyants
iudging
her
to
be
of
estimation
,
two
of
them
gaue
her
two
such
blowes
at
once
,
that
carelesse
they
strooke
her
at
their
féete
.
Outright
had
they
slaine
her
,
or
at
least
taken
her
prisoner
,
if
her
inuincible
husband
with
his
vtmost
spéed
had
not
followed
her
close
,
almost
falling
downe
,
with
such
strength
he
leapt
among
them
.
Many
blowes
he
suffered
,
making
no
reckning
of
them
,
because
he
onely
aymed
at
them
that
strooke
his
Empresse
.
It
is
no
new
matter
what
hée
now
doth
,
diuiding
the
two
Gyants
at
two
blowes
in
foure
parts
,
that
had
offended
him
,
offending
his
Ladie
.
He
durst
not
go
from
her
till
she
recouered
her selfe
,
becomming
fiercer
then
a
mountaine
Lyonesse
.
Many
liues
dearely
bought
her
wrath
.
Brauely
were
they
backt
by
Teffereo
,
and
the
two
Spaniards
following
them
,
togither
with
most
of
the
Imperiall
guard
,
and
the
foure
Gyants
,
all
which
kept
still
togither
in
a
round
,
backe
to
backe
.
There
was
so
many
in
the
Soldans
shippe
to
kéepe
them
at
worke
,
that
they
had
no
time
to
looke
about
:
for
the
Barkes
and
Galleyes
of
supplie
,
which
Bembo
as
a
skilfull
Generall
had
appoynted
for
their
purpose
,
serued
to
no
other
end
but
to
fetch
away
wounded
men
,
leauing
fresh
souldiers
for
them
,
and
of
the
best
.
Heere
were
one
of
the
fiercest
conflicts
that
happened
all
that
day
:
for
the
Tribizonians
imitating
the
valour
of
their
Princes
,
would
not
haue
them
loose
what
they
had
wonne
.
And
therefore
although
thousands
perished
,
they
brauely
hindered
their
aduersaries
from
succour
,
which
was
no
helpe
for
the
Lords
within
.
In
her
inchaunted
Barke
,
had
the
braue
Quéene
of
Lyra
ranged
about
all
the
battell
,
to
finde
out
her
friend
Rosamonde
,
whom
shée
greatly
affected
:
but
not
méeting
with
her
,
her
good
fortune
,
or
theirs
that
were
in
the
shippe
,
conducted
her
thither
.
Séeing
that
cruell
fight
,
and
thinking
them
to
bee
the
Emperour
Trebatios
his
Sonnes
,
shee
brauely
leapt
into
the
Egyptian
Barke
,
crying
:
Grecia
and
Lyra.
Many
knew
her
by
the
voyce
,
among
whom
were
the
Emperours
that
were
opposed
against
a
number
of
Gyants
.
More
destruction
make
not
the
vnseasonable
showers
of
drowning
waters
,
beating
downe
the
ripened
corne
:
nor
with
more
furie
flies
not
the
hastie
fired
powder
,
then
the
warlike
Matrone
with
her
sword
,
shewes
her selfe
ioyning
with
the
Gréeke
.
Mars
wounding
the
first
Gyant
she
met
so
brauely
on
the
helme
,
that
cleauing
it
,
shee
also
cleft
his
head
downe
to
the
necke
.
With
such
helpe
(
soueraigne
Quéene
said
Alpheo
)
our
victorie
will
not
bee
so
great
,
if
this
shippe
should
of
it selfe
yéeld
,
although
the
greatest
personages
of
all
the
fléete
be
in
it
.
It
was
no
time
to
bée
spent
in
answering
courtesies
,
for
the
Gyants
bée
many
and
strong
,
and
die
willingly
in
defence
of
their
shippe
,
that
by
this
was
at
the
last
to
be
conquered
:
for
with
the
Quéens
helpe
,
and
the
Trebezonians
diligence
,
the
two
Soldans
were
constrained
,
rather
then
to
fall
in
the
hands
of
such
fierce
warriours
,
to
leape
into
a
Pinnace
,
in
whose
succors
many
others
came
,
among
which
,
was
the
Galeon
wherein
he
came
from
Nyquea
,
into
which
they
went
,
gréeuing
for
the
losse
of
the
other
,
which
was
one
of
the
best
in
all
the
Fléet
.
Whereof
neuer
a
man
suruide
,
but
euery
one
perished
by
the
sword
,
and
they
that
fled
that
death
,
leaping
into
the
sea
,
swallowed
it
in
water
of
eternall
sléepe
.
This
victorie
was
not
so
clearely
wonne
,
but
they
lost
tenne
gallies
of
Trebizound
,
which
the
Pagans
suncke
,
who
also
kept
them
company
with
some
of
theirs
.
Leauing
the
conquered
vessel
well
manned
,
and
displaying
on
the
toppe
thereof
the
armes
of
Greece
,
victoriously
they
returned
into
their
owne
,
and
with
all
spéed
the
Emperour
commaunded
the
Pilot
to
hale
towards
the
Tower
,
where
there
was
most
to
do
,
for
the
two
braue
Competitors
being
there
,
would
suffer
none
to
come
thither
without
losse
of
life
.
Wée
haue
no
reason
thus
long
to
forget
the
mightie
Bembo
,
Lord
generall
of
the
Pagan
armie
,
who
espying
the
Gréeke
Admirall
,
supposing
that
most
of
her
Princes
were
in
her
,
made
with
his
against
it
.
The
noyse
of
the
vehement
shocke
was
such
,
that
it
séemed
no
lesse
then
the
incounter
of
two
huge
rockes
.
The
Gréekes
got
the
best
,
by
reason
she
bore
her
beake
higher
,
wherewith
she
brused
all
that
side
.
Here
do
they
fight
as
if
they
were
on
maine
land
,
for
Galley
to
Galley
,
and
ship
to
shippe
,
beeing
grappled
togither
,
the
arme
must
onely
procure
the
victorie
.
Oh
Bembo
,
who
would
not
wish
to
sée
the
busied
in
the
things
thou
didst
neuer
exercise
?
For
firmly
fixing
thy
féete
on
the
ships
side
,
&
with
thy
sword
twixt
both
hands
,
executed
blowes
the
Mars
wold
haue
thoght
impossible
,
but
as
in
the
other
,
there
were
such
knights
,
his
déeds
did
nothing
amaze
them
,
neither
Don
Celindos
,
nor
his
braue
sisters
,
who
were
confronted
with
the
haughtie
Emperour
Trebatio
,
his
sonne
Rosider
with
the
bewteous
Rosamonde
,
that
with
victorious
courage
did
behaue
her selfe
,
giuing
no
stroke
but
it
felde
an
enemie
into
the
déepe
,
that
séeing
they
must
die
,
had
rather
doo
it
by
her
hands
,
deuoured
or
consumed
,
either
in
the
water
,
or
with
fire
.
She
eagerly
pursued
Don
Celindo
,
and
followed
him
more
then
she
should
:
for
the
Achayan
séeing
her
so
neare
him
,
discharged
a
flourish
on
the
best
helme
in
both
Nauies
.
It
made
the
blood
gush
through
her
mouth
,
and
bende
her
head
as
lowe
as
her
faire
breast
.
Shée
conceiued
such
mortall
hate
against
him
for
this
blowe
,
that
first
the
generall
Gréeke
warres
ended
,
before
it
was
extinguished
.
Neuerthelesse
he
scaped
not
vnpaide
,
for
trusting
to
her
Armes
,
(
although
Floraliza
gaue
her
a
fierce
thrust
,
)
she
lost
not
her
intended
blowe
,
which
she
executed
on
the
Pagans
shield
:
which
is
no
defence
against
it
,
for
the
blade
is
the
best
on
all
the
earth
:
and
therefore
cleane
in
two
it
parted
his
shield
,
in
whose
making
,
Lupercio
had
showne
such
skil
.
It
daunted
the
Sarazen
Prince
,
for
hée
had
neuer
séene
his
Armor
cut
.
Yet
there
staied
not
the
furious
sword
,
for
lighting
vpon
one
side
of
his
Helme
,
cutting
,
it
descended
downe
to
the
shoulder
,
where
it
lost
his
force
,
making
him
stagger
backe
.
And
then
she
would
haue
leapt
into
her
aduersaries
shippe
,
had
not
then
come
against
her
,
the
Gyants
of
his
guard
,
that
made
her
violently
retire
.
Idle
were
not
Father
and
Sonne
,
behauing
themselues
there
like
Sampson
,
among
the
Phylistines
.
And
on
the
other
side
,
the
two
friends
,
Bramidoro
of
Cerdenia
,
and
the
strong
Brandafidel
,
with
his
flying
vnaccustomed
weapon
,
who
sometimes
,
with
it
,
at
one
blow
felde
thrée
of
those
deformed
Gyant
.
On
the
other
side
,
was
this
ship
likewise
boorded
,
by
the
valiant
Prince
of
Assiria
,
so
fiercely
,
that
had
not
the
good
Theban
Duke
bene
neare
to
her
,
shée
had
bene
entered
:
but
his
comming
,
with
the
Duke
of
Medynas
,
intercepted
their
aduersaries
from
their
purpose
.
Ashamed
was
Bembo
to
be
so
repulsed
,
not
knowing
his
aduersary
.
Some
paide
dearly
for
his
anger
,
for
returning
to
his
place
,
he
met
with
Oliuias
Louer
,
something
carelesse
of
him
,
being
carefully
busied
against
the
Gyants
.
With
a
downright
blowe
he
strooke
him
.
The
Pagans
armes
were
not
of
such
weaknesse
,
as
that
his
blowes
should
be
receiued
without
warde
,
for
it
forced
him
to
set
his
handes
on
the
hatches
of
his
shippes
,
and
before
he
rose
or
were
succoured
,
the
Achayan
seconded
another
,
nothing
inferior
to
the
former
.
There
is
no
Hyrcanian
Tyger
that
may
be
compared
vnto
the
great
Emperour
,
séeing
his
sonne
so
vsed
.
He
clasped
his
sword
strongly
twixt
his
hands
,
laying
the
waight
therof
vpon
his
helme
.
Neuer
til
then
,
did
the
Sarazen
féele
such
a
blowe
,
for
his
sword
flue
out
of
his
handes
,
and
he
set
both
knées
on
the
hatches
.
At
his
rising
,
a
pellet
of
Brandifidels
weapon
,
did
hit
him
on
the
breast
,
and
depriuing
him
of
breath
,
made
him
recoyle
backe
.
Well
did
the
two
brothers
knowe
him
,
but
they
could
not
deny
their
dutie
vnto
their
Generall
:
and
therefore
togither
they
requited
the
Gyant
with
such
blowes
,
that
stumbling
backwards
,
he
had
like
to
haue
fallen
:
and
had
they
bene
able
to
reach
his
head
,
they
had
felde
him
:
for
fewe
armes
were
like
to
theirs
.
With
such
eager
fury
did
Rosamond
séeke
Bembo
,
that
shée
did
not
respect
the
others
strokes
,
whom
Brandafidell
wel
befriended
with
his
terrible
Mace
:
for
with
it
,
he
strooke
aside
the
two
brothers
,
that
brauely
defended
their
partie
:
so
that
the
wrathfull
Ladie
past
along
,
and
with
both
hands
gaue
the
Sarazen
Louer
a
mightie
blowe
.
All
the
toppe
of
his
helme
with
a
great
péece
thereof
,
she
strooke
away
,
and
wounding
him
a
little
,
she
made
him
tremble
like
an
Aspen
leafe
.
Ere
the
Pagan
could
turne
himselfe
,
putting
forth
her
arme
,
she
gaue
him
a
daungerous
thrust
on
the
breast
.
His
Armor
and
priuie
coate
it
pearst
:
and
Lyrgandeo
saith
,
his
flesh
felt
the
blade
.
But
howsoeuer
hée
gaue
backe
yéelding
from
the
sword
,
a
manifest
token
that
hée
feared
the
poynt
.
So
well
could
not
Bramidoro
,
and
Brandafidels
blowes
defend
her
,
but
Floraliza
founde
opportunitie
to
giue
her
one
with
Camillas
sword
about
her
helme
,
with
all
her
strength
.
Shée
greatly
felt
this
stroke
,
for
it
made
her
turne
amazedly
about
.
With
another
full
as
great
,
seconded
Celindo
,
with
Quéene
Iulias
cutting
blade
:
it
fell
on
her
shield
,
whose
inchauntment
being
far
auncienter
then
that
of
his
sword
,
it
could
not
cut
it
,
but
it
strooke
it
so
violently
against
her
head
,
that
shée
was
verie
much
astonished
.
Forward
stept
Bramidoro
King
of
Cerdena
,
to
pay
what
Rosamond
did
owe
(
for
the
furious
Bembo
not
séeing
him
,
and
méeting
with
a
Gyant
in
his
place
)
with
both
handes
he
gaue
him
so
terrible
a
blowe
,
that
he
constrained
him
to
set
both
knées
on
the
ground
.
So
busied
were
father
and
sonne
against
the
Achayan
,
and
another
,
that
he
had
time
to
bestowe
another
at
his
helme
,
it
was
with
such
mightinesse
,
and
discharged
(
as
he
could
not
more
desire
)
that
he
felde
him
all
along
vppon
the
hatches
,
to
the
astonishment
of
euery
one
that
sawe
the
Battle
,
to
enioy
whose
sight
,
many
left
their
sights
,
for
of
foure
to
foure
,
a
fiercer
Combat
could
not
lightly
be
wished
.
Readie
to
burst
with
rage
was
Rosicler
now
,
séeing
the
Achayan
was
onely
he
that
disturbed
the
entrance
of
that
vessell
.
He
closed
with
him
,
and
with
both
hands
they
either
discharged
vppon
the
other
,
such
puissant
blowes
,
whose
eccho
was
heard
ouer
all
the
fléete
,
the
which
,
both
Nauies
horror
could
not
drowne
.
With
much
courtesie
they
receiued
one
another
,
bowing
their
heades
verie
lowe
.
So
inraged
was
the
Pagan
séeing
his
shielde
in
péeces
,
and
his
head
wounded
,
that
it
made
him
second
an
other
before
Rosicler
was
readie
.
It
was
like
one
of
those
he
vsed
to
execute
,
making
him
touch
the
hatches
with
hands
and
knées
.
He
could
not
adde
any
more
,
but
raising
his
sword
,
with
it
he
reached
Brandafidell
(
surprizing
him
vnawares
)
vppon
his
armes
:
It
was
a
miracle
he
did
not
cut
them
off
,
yet
it
inforced
him
to
let
go
his
Mace
,
dragging
it
along
,
not
able
to
wylde
his
armes
through
paine
.
This
did
Trebatio
well
note
,
ending
then
the
dispatching
of
a
Gyant
to
hell
.
At
one
steppe
he
confronted
Bembo
,
whom
before
he
could
settle
himselfe
,
the
Gréeke
gaue
so
strong
a
blowe
,
that
maugre
his
might
,
he
strooke
him
away
from
him
:
and
saide
to
his
friendes
,
that
their
pursuing
particular
Combats
,
made
them
loose
the
generall
battell
,
their
enemies
so
much
excéeding
them
in
numbers
.
It
was
as
the
Emperour
said
,
for
indéed
they
had
the
worst
,
hauing
euerie
vessell
of
their
owne
assaulted
by
thrée
and
foure
of
their
aduersaries
,
and
yet
the
courage
and
vallour
of
the
Christians
was
such
,
that
it
supplied
the
want
of
men
.
All
had
not
bene
sufficient
,
had
not
at
this
time
,
some
fiue
houres
before
the
setting
of
the
Sunne
,
Eastward
appeared
at
one
instant
,
two
proude
Fléetes
,
that
with
a
freshe
gale
made
towardes
the
Battle
,
not
séeming
any
whit
to
assault
eache
other
.
And
from
the
coast
of
Niquea
,
was
also
descried
a
number
of
barks
with
souldiers
.
Both
Nauies
feared
,
not
knowing
to
which
they
would
incline
,
for
that
side
was
sure
of
victorie
,
whose
part
they
tooke
.
At
once
they
both
approached
,
yet
in
different
manner
:
for
that
which
coasted
more
along
the
land
,
came
altogither
in
one
squadron
,
discharging
their
ordinance
.
The
other
kept
with
the
winde
on
the
seas
,
and
in
forme
of
an
Arch
,
with
their
greatest
vesselles
in
the
middest
,
lingring
nothing
behinde
.

arriuing

and

they
were

Chapter

CHAP.
XXII
.
How
in
the
Greekes
ayde
there
arriued
the
mightie
Abstrusio
,
and
the
King
of
Tharsis
.
With
Sacridoro
,
King
of
Antioch
,
Pollidolpho
,
and
the
Persian
Prince
.
THere
is
no
content
that
might
bee
equalled
to
mine
(
fayrest
of
all
fayres
)
if
I
durst
but
imagine
you
had
with
some
pleasure
ouerpast
the
beginning
of
this
Nauall
conflict
:
the
which
fauour
were
soly
sufficient
to
adde
thereto
such
an
ende
,
as
euery
worthy
accident
therein
hapned
did
deserue
.
For
that
Fléete
which
coasted
more
along
the
shore
,
entered
among
the
Pagans
side
,
that
for
all
they
were
so
many
,
were
not
able
to
forbid
it
,
nor
to
breake
their
order
.
This
was
the
famous
Abstrusios
Nauie
(
then
who
vpon
the
seas
was
neuer
any
more
skilfuller
)
and
bringing
with
him
,
so
many
men
&
well
furnished
vesselles
,
with
an
ifinit
number
of
braue
Knights
,
aduancing
aloft
the
Gréeke
armes
,
hee
passed
through
his
enemies
with
winde-blowne
sayles
,
and
oares
,
in
mosthorrible
manner
:
crying
Grecia
,
and
his
countrey
.
He
kept
such
good
order
,
that
ere
he
lost
it
,
he
made
mortall
destruction
on
his
enemies
,
for
his
smaller
barkes
entring
,
where
greater
could
dot
,
did
nought
but
cast
wilde
fire
,
melted
pitch
,
and
scalding
Leade
,
which
was
present
death
to
those
that
onely
defended
themselues
with
the
sword
.
Armed
like
Parthians
,
were
Abstrusios
followers
with
bowes
and
arrowes
,
wherewith
before
they
fell
to
handy
blowes
,
they
bereft
a
number
numberlesse
,
of
liues
.
Which
horror
of
shafts
being
past
,
it
was
admirable
to
sée
with
what
brauerie
they
betooke
themselues
to
their
weapons
.
They
were
all
expert
and
exercised
in
warre
,
because
they
liued
in
it
continually
,
against
theyr
neigbouring
Ilanders
.
Wherefore
the
Sea
began
a
newe
to
floate
with
dead
trunckes
of
men
,
with
such
horrible
outcries
of
the
wounded
,
because
they
could
not
before
death
reuenge
themselues
,
that
there
is
no
heart
so
stony
and
remorcelesse
,
but
would
haue
bene
mooued
to
pittie
.
Sylla
that
wished
to
sée
riuers
of
purple
goare
,
had
here
bene
satisfied
with
sight
of
seas
of
blood
.
The
mightie
generall
Abstrusio
did
set
himselfe
vpon
the
hatches
of
his
galeon
,
doing
what
Mars
durst
not
imagine
:
on
either
hand
,
Lysart
did
accompany
him
,
with
his
sonne
Florisart
,
desiring
to
make
manifest
their
affection
to
the
Gréeke
.
The
Gyants
that
were
appointed
to
guarde
the
fayre
Serynda
,
were
cyzed
like
tall
high
mastes
,
clad
all
in
steele
,
with
Iron
Maces
in
their
hands
.
A
better
defended
vessell
was
not
in
all
that
Fléete
:
for
not
dreading
any
thing
,
it
went
forwards
sinking
all
it
met
.
The
furious
Bembo
hauing
séene
the
mercilesse
destruction
of
his
men
and
Gallies
,
had
commaunded
his
to
be
vngrapled
from
the
Gréeke
Emperors
,
to
send
succour
where
it
most
néeded
.
He
was
straight
espied
by
Abstrusio
,
that
presently
sent
those
that
followed
him
to
boord
her
,
leauing
way
for
his
encounter
.
The
beake
of
whose
Galleon
was
all
of
Iron
,
fastened
euen
downe
to
her
kéele
,
which
made
him
presume
on
more
then
was
lawfull
on
the
seas
.
So
séeing
how
well
his
Gallies
had
assailed
his
aduersaries
,
not
omitting
his
intent
,
Abstrusio
entered
with
his
,
running
with
such
force
against
the
side
of
his
aduersaries
,
that
he
split
her
cleane
in
two
,
and
had
almost
endangered
himselfe
:
for
trusting
to
his
strength
,
he
would
haue
leaped
into
her
when
shee
began
to
sinke
,
and
they
within
her
,
cryed
out
for
boates
to
saue
themselues
.
Oh
Bembo
,
here
diddest
thou
shew
thy selfe
to
be
whom
thou
art
:
for
leaping
into
a
small
Barge
,
he
opposed
himselfe
against
Abstrusio
,
as
if
he
were
in
as
good
a
Galleon
as
his
.
The
Pagan
laughed
at
his
folly
,
and
noting
him
more
narrowly
,
by
his
colours
he
knew
him
to
be
his
enemies
Generall
.
It
gladded
him
,
thinking
to
haue
taken
him
prisoner
.
But
the
haughtie
Louer
that
had
his
life
reserued
to
endure
greater
troubles
,
made
his
valour
there
knowne
to
the
vttermost
,
and
how
in
déeds
of
armes
he
would
be
second
vnto
none
:
for
though
he
was
beset
on
all
parts
,
he
so
bestirred
himselfe
,
that
neither
his
aduerse
Generall
,
nor
Lysarte
,
with
his
sonnes
power
,
could
enforce
him
from
his
standing
.
Presently
was
he
succoured
and
taken
into
Lindauros
Admirall
,
dyed
in
blood
and
so
inraged
,
that
he
would
speake
to
none
,
nor
any
durst
looke
on
him
.
To
be
in
such
vnaccustomed
brunts
amazed
him
,
and
more
,
not
able
to
learne
,
nor
gesse
whom
his
aduersary
was
,
that
making
such
destruction
of
his
,
had
succoured
the
Gréekes
.
From
this
imagination
was
he
put
,
hearing
the
entry
of
the
other
Fléete
nothing
inferior
to
the
first
.
Diuers
were
the
voyces
heard
,
for
some
cryed
,
Babylon
and
Persia
,
some
Antioche
,
others
Croatia
,
and
all
at
once
,
Grecia
,
and
then
let
flie
such
volleyes
of
shaftes
,
that
no
lesse
hauocke
they
made
,
then
Abstrusio
.
Whose
arriuall
vtterly
vanquished
that
wing
of
the
Pagans
:
And
Sacridoros
Admirall
where
Oristoldo
was
,
past
close
by
the
Tower
,
which
none
else
had
done
.
It
astonied
both
Father
and
Sonne
,
to
looke
vpon
the
two
Competitors
,
Bramarant
and
Brufaldoro
,
who
with
their
ponderous
blades
suffered
none
to
approach
the
Arches
:
to
doo
the
like
arriued
Bembo
,
making
himselfe
strong
betwéene
the
Pillers
that
sustained
the
Tower
,
where
he
animated
himselfe
with
gazing
on
the
Ladie
he
most
affected
,
that
opening
the
Casements
,
then
knowing
none
of
them
,
had
set
her selfe
to
behold
the
battell
.
She
appeared
like
the
Sunne
of
Maye
,
in
all
his
glorie
,
chasing
away
the
duskie
Clouds
from
about
him
,
that
would
obscure
his
brightnesse
.
There
was
none
in
all
the
Fléetes
but
turned
their
eyes
to
gaze
on
her
bewtie
.
Many
knew
her
,
whereof
one
was
Oristoldo
,
who
thus
said
to
his
Father
.
This
is
the
season
wherein
we
must
procure
to
liberate
you
Ladies
thence
.
For
the
fayrest
of
them
is
Lyriana
,
whose
carrying
from
Nyquea
,
cost
our
friend
Rosabel
and
me
so
much
blood
,
and
more
labor
.
And
beléeue
me
not
(
dread
Lord
and
Father
)
if
these
knights
haue
not
purposely
taken
their
standings
there
,
that
none
might
proue
the
ascending
to
the
Tower
.
As
they
were
thus
talking
,
they
descried
two
knights
of
rare
disposition
,
comming
in
seueral
Barkes
.
The
one
was
presently
knowne
to
be
Don
Eleno
of
Dacia
,
whome
(
being
departed
from
Pollidolpho
)
Nabato
had
guided
thither
.
Of
his
helpe
there
was
no
néed
:
for
the
Pagans
had
then
the
worst
:
yet
he
entred
as
he
was
accustomed
,
couering
the
frothy
waues
with
dead
carkasses
.
He
assaulted
no
particular
knights
,
but
the
fierce
Gyants
.
Quickly
was
Rosamond
aduertised
of
his
comming
:
whereat
she
straight
commaunded
her
Royall
Galley
to
waft
her
,
where
he
was
,
she
met
him
.
Her
Armor
was
well
knowne
of
euery
one
,
and
so
her
beloued
Dacian
also
knew
her
.
He
leapt
into
her
Galley
,
imbracing
one
another
with
intyre
loue
.
It
was
no
time
for
long
discourses
,
so
hauing
kist
the
Emperors
handes
,
the
two
Louers
began
to
performe
such
déeds
as
were
incredible
,
but
not
to
those
that
to
their
cost
beheld
them
.
The
other
knight
clad
all
in
Rose
colour
Armour
,
none
as
then
knew
:
but
approaching
neare
the
Tower
,
and
viewing
his
Lady
,
he
conceiued
such
content
,
that
he
suspended
his
fight
,
til
he
had
well
noted
the
possessor
of
his
heart
.
He
became
so
fierce
with
that
sole
sight
,
as
he
iudged
nothing
,
the
subduing
of
both
Armies
.
Casting
his
shield
behind
him
,
and
taking
Hectors
sword
twixt
both
hands
,
at
fewe
blowes
he
was
known
to
be
Rosabel
,
to
the
excéeding
content
of
all
his
friends
.
In
this
inchaunted
Boate
,
he
flung
to
the
Arches
of
the
Tower
,
but
he
found
them
so
wel
defenced
,
that
neither
his
friend
Aristoldos
helpe
,
nor
his
owne
strength
,
could
make
his
way
to
them
:
For
the
thrée
famous
warriors
being
in
a
rancke
,
with
such
brauery
behaued
themselues
,
that
euery
one
iudged
the
approching
to
the
Pillers
impossible
.
With
Brauorant
closed
Lyrianas
Louer
,
crossing
his
sword
on
high
:
nimbler
he
was
then
Scythian
,
and
so
with
all
his
strength
before
he
could
warde
it
,
he
discharged
a
furious
blow
on
his
helmet
,
the
which
had
it
not
bene
of
such
force
,
euen
with
his
head
it
had
bene
cleft
,
yet
he
forst
him
two
steppes
backe
.
Into
his
Barke
he
would
haue
leapt
:
but
the
Pagan
(
inured
to
such
blowes
,
although
it
much
gréeued
him
)
returned
,
and
with
a
thrust
droue
him
backe
againe
,
as
fast
as
he
came
forward
.
Fewe
blowes
like
vnto
these
had
the
Britaine
felt
,
but
séeing
the
Ladies
looked
on
him
,
and
also
his
Father
,
and
Graundsyer
,
that
were
come
thither
,
returned
vnto
his
place
,
where
he
began
one
of
the
fearcest
Combats
of
all
that
day
.
For
against
the
other
Barke
wherein
Bembo
was
,
came
Don
Eleno
,
no
lesse
furious
then
Mars
:
and
Brufaldoro
was
confronted
by
the
Emperor
Alphebo
.
He
the
first
executed
his
blow
,
was
hasty
Dacian
:
so
close
grapled
were
the
barks
,
that
they
could
fight
as
sure
as
on
land
,
and
therefore
Rosamonds
beloued
,
with
Brutus
sword
,
flourished
it
twise
aloft
.
Well
perceiued
Bembo
his
intent
,
wherefore
leauing
his
Helme
bare
,
gaue
him
a
strong
thrust
on
his
amourous
breast
:
the
which
taking
him
as
he
stifly
stood
,
and
with
his
minde
another
where
,
it
was
a
great
chaunce
he
ouerthrew
him
not
,
but
made
him
stagger
into
his
Barke
.
After
him
would
the
Pagan
leape
,
but
as
swift
as
a
Leopard
returned
the
Louer
,
and
ere
he
could
doo
it
,
with
both
hands
he
discharged
his
sword
,
in
such
manner
on
his
helme
,
that
he
thought
he
sawe
more
starres
then
the
heauens
contained
:
and
bore
so
heauily
on
the
one
side
,
as
he
set
his
left
knée
vppon
the
ground
.
Another
seconded
the
Dacian
a
little
lower
,
descending
downe
the
shoulder
:
a
better
blowe
was
not
giuen
in
all
the
Battle
,
for
it
cut
away
all
his
Vanbrace
,
with
his
sléeue
of
Male
,
and
somewhat
wounded
him
.
The
Pagan
trembled
at
the
blowe
,
and
knowing
that
was
he
which
ouerthrew
him
in
Grecia
,
he
animated
himselfe
,
for
he
was
greatly
vexed
to
sée
his
crosse
fortune
,
and
beganne
to
shewe
,
he
was
no
lesse
then
Bembo
,
Prince
of
Achaya
.
The
Emperour
Alphebo
that
knewe
his
enemy
,
warily
assayled
him
,
although
he
quickly
broke
off
order
,
for
the
Moore
remembring
him
,
will
not
vse
trickes
of
defence
,
but
giue
and
receiue
without
pitie
.
So
at
once
they
laid
on
their
helmes
.
Both
kist
the
ground
:
the
Emperour
with
one
hand
,
but
the
Mauritanian
with
both
,
and
both
knées
.
The
Gréeke
seconded
another
,
bearing
his
sword
outwards
:
which
offer
he
had
scarce
made
,
when
turning
his
hand
,
with
all
his
strength
he
thrust
at
his
breast
:
thence
the
poynt
glaunced
to
indaunger
the
Moore
,
more
:
for
if
he
had
not
yéelded
to
the
thrust
,
cleane
through
he
had
bin
thrust
,
for
happening
twixt
the
buckles
,
it
ranne
to
the
other
side
.
None
sawe
the
blowe
,
but
iudged
either
the
Moore
to
be
dead
,
or
deadly
wounded
.
Who
hauing
escaped
that
great
daunger
,
became
more
furious
then
fire
smothered
within
a
Basseliske
,
charged
with
powder
:
And
recouering
his
former
place
,
casting
his
Shield
at
his
backe
,
beganne
so
with
blowes
to
weary
the
Lorde
of
Trebizond
,
that
almost
hée
could
not
fetch
his
breath
:
yet
not
in
such
sort
,
but
he
often
astonished
the
Moore
,
and
made
him
to
féele
his
strength
and
fury
of
his
armes
.
All
this
while
was
not
Trebatios
Nephew
ydle
,
with
Brauorant
,
the
flower
of
Paganisme
,
for
their
fight
is
woorthie
the
sight
of
the
towred
Ladies
.
It
was
more
dangerous
for
the
Moore
,
because
the
Louer
supposed
his
Ladie
had
knowne
him
.
He
neuer
shewed
himselfe
more
skilfuller
nor
fiercer
.
Many
particular
battels
were
left
,
onely
to
beholde
that
of
the
sixe
.
Both
are
well
armed
and
sure
from
beeing
wounded
,
which
made
them
fearelesse
abide
one
anothers
strokes
.
Like
a
chafed
Bore
fomed
the
Scythian
,
séeing
so
many
aduersaries
to
resist
him
,
and
more
they
that
could
hazard
his
battel
,
as
he
that
then
was
before
him
,
who
refusing
no
labor
,
entred
and
retired
at
his
pleasure
.
Nimble
and
actiue
was
the
Pagan
,
and
so
helping
himselfe
therewith
,
before
the
Brittaine
youth
could
turne
about
,
he
executed
a
blowe
vpon
the
rich
helme
which
Eufronisa
gaue
him
,
whose
fine
temper
saued
his
life
,
for
else
it
had
diuided
him
in
two
:
yet
it
made
him
set
his
hands
to
the
ground
:
ere
hee
rose
,
the
Pagan
discharged
againe
a
flourish
on
him
,
nothing
inferior
to
the
other
.
It
was
somewhat
besides
his
head
,
and
not
able
to
make
impression
,
it
glanced
away
without
more
harm
,
although
it
had
done
ynough
to
inrage
him
.
With
more
furie
issues
not
the
Tyger
from
his
denne
to
seeke
his
pray
,
then
he
returned
vpon
the
Scythian
with
Hectors
sword
,
strongly
clasped
in
both
hands
.
Aboue
foure
lost
the
vermillion
of
their
faces
,
seeing
the
feareful
blow
descend
,
whose
noyse
was
heard
ouer
all
the
armies
:
his
helme
sounded
like
a
bell
,
and
he
voyded
much
blood
through
his
mouth
and
nostrels
:
and
staggerd
vp
and
downe
,
not
knowing
where
he
was
.
With
such
another
hee
helped
him
,
which
forced
him
in
amazement
,
to
set
his
hands
and
knées
on
the
hatches
of
his
barke
,
wherein
he
would
haue
leapt
,
if
the
two
brothers
,
Don
Celindo
and
Floraliza
,
had
not
there
arriued
.
At
once
they
both
eagerly
discharged
two
blowes
on
him
,
that
hee
was
constrained
to
bow
lower
then
he
would
Quicke
and
bolde
was
the
Ladie
,
so
would
she
haue
wonne
the
entrance
of
his
vessell
,
but
shée
had
like
to
ouerthrowne
her selfe
:
for
the
Emperors
Admirall
béeing
neare
thereto
,
and
the
haughtie
Rosicler
knowing
his
braue
sonne
,
and
séeing
him
so
ill
vsed
,
like
an
Eagle
leapt
into
his
boate
,
saying
.
Courage
braue
Prince
,
for
your
father
is
with
you
.
With
the
blowe
he
gaue
,
she
was
forced
backe
,
and
for
feare
of
falling
into
the
sea
,
shée
withheld
her selfe
.
His
son
could
not
answere
him
,
so
inraged
he
was
,
imagining
some
shew
of
cowardise
had
made
his
father
come
to
succor
him
.
And
his
blood
repaired
to
his
heart
,
the
which
burning
like
fire
,
and
closing
barke
to
barke
,
leauing
his
father
with
Don
Celindo
,
he
turned
his
reuenge
wholly
vpon
the
Ladie
,
whose
beautie
deserued
no
such
requitall
.
Camillas
armie
may
she
thanke
for
her
life
,
else
this
had
béene
her
last
battell
and
terme
of
breathing
.
Thrée
steppes
he
made
her
stagger
backewards
,
and
followed
her
with
so
strong
a
thrust
,
that
hee
thrust
her
so
farre
within
the
barke
,
that
easily
he
wonne
the
entrance
in
despight
of
the
Pagans
.
Excéeding
danger
doth
Meridians
daughter
incurre
,
fighting
with
Rosabell
,
with
whom
no
Lyon
may
bee
compared
.
Againe
before
the
Ladie
recouered
her selfe
,
hee
gaue
her
another
that
had
almost
felled
her
.
Neuer
was
she
in
such
perill
:
but
he
that
loued
her
as
his
soule
,
Don
Clarisell
,
(
that
long
had
sought
her
)
came
thither
in
such
good
time
,
as
it
was
worth
no
lesse
then
her
life
to
her
:
who
seeing
his
Ladie
so
handled
,
let
flie
a
cruell
thrust
at
him
.
Against
him
that
had
strooke
him
,
turned
the
Brittaine
youth
,
giuing
the
Ladie
leaue
to
rise
and
breathe
.
Thither
also
arriued
the
furious
forsaken
Lindauro
,
with
many
mightie
Gyants
of
his
guard
,
and
séeing
the
cruell
fight
,
and
knowing
the
Ladie
(
whom
they
all
tendered
)
hee
went
against
Rosicler
,
that
hand
to
hand
warred
with
Celindo
:
he
entred
betwéene
them
,
parting
both
Barkes
,
whereby
the
brother
and
sister
turned
both
vpon
Rosabel
.
He
did
not
refuse
them
,
although
the
Assyrian
troubled
him
euerie
time
he
reached
him
.
On
euerie
side
else
of
the
battell
,
the
Gréekes
had
plainly
got
the
victorie
,
which
they
brauely
maintained
.
And
indéed
the
mightie
Abstrusio
was
he
that
wonne
it
,
winning
the
title
of
an
excellent
Captaine
,
which
he
kept
for
euer
.
There
wanted
not
them
that
tolde
him
newes
of
his
deare
friend
Bosabels
arriuall
.
It
gladded
his
very
soule
,
for
as
it
he
loued
him
.
Him
for
gratitude
doth
Galtenor
extoll
aboue
all
the
Princes
in
the
world
.
Hee
tolde
it
to
his
beloued
Syrinda
,
saying
.
Let
vs
go
to
ayde
our
Prince
(
deare
Ladie
)
for
he
that
is
so
much
indebted
to
him
as
we
both
,
it
is
the
least
we
can
do
.
His
strength
and
valour
do
I
wish
I
had
(
replied
she
)
to
imploy
in
the
thing
I
most
desire
.
With
an
embrace
the
Pagan
encouraged
himselfe
,
and
commaunding
his
Galleon
to
be
directed
towardes
the
Tower
,
in
a
trice
he
rusht
in
among
the
Barks
there
.
Easily
he
might
haue
suncke
them
,
with
the
aduantage
of
his
being
the
strongest
&
best
in
all
the
Fléetes
,
but
yet
he
would
not
,
saue
enter
them
with
his
person
.
By
his
manner
of
fight
he
knew
his
friend
,
wherevpon
he
committed
his
Galleon
to
the
stout
Lysarte
,
that
shewed
himselfe
that
day
to
be
a
good
warriour
.
The
Gréeke
Louer
wanted
now
no
friends
,
for
on
the
other
side
came
the
haughtie
Oristoldo
,
all
couered
with
Pagans
blood
.
Abstrusio
first
arriued
,
whom
euery
one
feared
,
séeing
him
so
sterne
and
mightie
:
from
his
owne
to
Rosabels
shippe
he
leapt
,
pronouncing
his
proper
name
.
It
much
contented
him
to
haue
such
a
friend
by
his
side
.
Little
could
Alicandros
Nephewes
winne
at
their
hands
:
for
the
Pagan
merits
not
comparison
with
lesse
then
with
Brauorant
,
and
if
hee
haue
any
aduantage
ouer
him
,
it
is
more
then
is
knowne
.
In
his
assault
he
strooke
Don
Celindo
on
the
helme
:
had
he
done
it
with
aduise
,
it
had
béene
the
last
,
with
the
latest
moment
of
his
life
:
neuerthelesse
being
besides
his
head
,
it
falleth
him
headlong
downe
.
He
clasped
him
twixt
his
armes
,
thinking
eyther
to
kill
or
imprison
him
.
Either
hée
mought
haue
done
,
if
the
gallant
Don
Argante
had
not
lept
thither
from
his
vessell
.
Of
haughtie
courage
was
the
youth
,
so
vpon
the
Pagans
barke
he
discharged
a
fierce
blowe
,
which
made
him
leaue
Don
Celindo
,
and
tarne
vpon
him
.
Against
them
both
would
the
Pagan
defend
himself
,
to
his
honour
,
had
he
place
to
wilde
about
his
strong
armes
:
but
there
was
such
little
roome
,
as
they
were
all
heaped
togither
one
vppon
another
.
Yet
Rosabell
brauely
kéeping
his
standing
,
I
knowe
not
with
whom
I
may
compare
him
,
vnlesse
it
be
with
him
whom
Fortune
exalted
aboue
all
knights
:
who
,
while
matters
thus
past
to
eternize
the
Gréekes
fame
,
appeared
in
sight
of
both
armies
,
like
the
God
of
warre
himselfe
,
whose
arriuall
deserueth
farre
more
then

CHAP.
XXIII
.
How
to
the
battel
arriued
the
two
Princes
,
Claramant
and
Claridiana
:
and
what
ende
happened
to
the
aduenture
of
the
Tower
.
TIred
with
bloodie
conflicts
of
sterne
warre
,
I
now
will
returne
me
(
faire
Ladies
)
to
Loues
swéet
pleasing
battels
,
whither
bringing
those
two
that
haue
the
sole
preheminence
ouer
al
others
in
armes
,
and
onely
to
liberate
the
beauteous
Lyriana
,
I
shall
not
néed
to
craue
your
fauors
thereto
,
for
I
trust
(
though
not
all
)
some
wil
denie
it
me
.
This
hope
animates
me
to
procéed
in
this
laborinth
,
and
commit
the
two
princes
to
your
protecting
smiles
.
Plowing
vp
the
billowes
of
the
calme
seas
,
they
resembled
the
glorious
sunne
,
appearing
through
the
clowdes
,
displaying
his
firie
rayes
.
As
they
approached
,
Claramant
said
.
The
world
(
braue
Prince
)
is
so
full
of
your
haughtie
déeds
,
that
there
néeds
no
more
triall
to
eternize
them
:
wherefore
let
me
intreate
you
at
this
time
,
to
let
me
be
formost
in
this
attempt
,
that
presuming
on
your
helpe
,
I
may
winne
some
honour
by
your
ayde
.
Most
warlike
warrior
(
replied
he
)
considering
the
necessitie
,
you
should
not
demand
of
me
,
what
I
ought
to
intreat
of
you
:
for
where
your
axe
hewes
his
passage
,
there
my
sword
is
not
required
.
So
doo
as
you
will
,
for
I
meane
to
kéepe
where
I
am
,
to
enioy
the
sight
of
your
déeds
.
And
as
I
thinke
,
there
is
more
to
do
at
the
Tower
then
any
where
else
.
He
néeded
not
to
haue
said
so
,
for
Galtenor
that
guided
their
barke
,
directed
it
thither
.
Straight
did
Trebatios
vnknowne
sonne
close
his
beauer
,
and
setting
one
foote
on
the
edge
of
his
vessell
,
with
his
axe
twixt
both
hands
,
he
entred
betwéene
both
armies
,
crying
:
Grecia
,
Grecia
,
that
none
might
strike
him
.
There
was
none
but
much
reioyced
,
séeing
one
with
Theseus
axe
at
one
end
,
and
the
other
,
with
the
best
sword
in
the
world
,
defending
his
backe
at
the
other
.
More
furious
did
not
Hercules
shewe
himselfe
among
the
Cennaures
,
nor
Theseus
beating
at
the
brazen
gates
of
Hell
,
then
were
the
two
Princes
among
those
miserable
Infidels
.
No
blow
doth
the
new
Mars
bestowe
,
but
riddes
his
father
of
an
enemie
:
who
was
ouerioyed
with
pleasure
,
séeing
the
excellent
disposition
,
of
them
both
.
He
expressed
it
to
the
two
Gyants
that
were
with
him
,
saying
.
Haue
you
euer
séene
any
knights
of
haughtier
disposition
?
credit
me
,
these
be
they
will
winne
our
victorie
.
I
thinke
no
lesse
(
said
the
King
of
Cerdina
)
for
excepting
my
Lord
the
Emperor
of
Trebizond
,
I
haue
not
beheld
any
of
better
constitution
and
shape
of
bodie
then
the
formost
.
It
is
so
(
said
Brandafidell
)
but
I
le
be
suretie
for
the
other
,
that
he
will
not
for
his
part
loose
any
iot
of
the
victorie
.
Why
then
(
spake
the
Emperor
Trebatio
)
let
vs
behold
the
triall
of
their
brauerie
.
Quicly
did
they
verifie
it
to
bee
true
,
for
passing
by
the
imperiall
Admirall
,
and
thinking
the
Emperor
to
be
there
,
they
did
their
dutie
very
gallantly
.
Swifter
then
the
winde
past
their
Barke
forward
,
till
it
came
euen
where
Rosabell
was
:
round
beset
with
mightie
enemies
was
the
lustie
Brittaine
,
for
Epirabio
a
valiant
Pagan
,
with
others
,
excéedingly
troubled
him
.
So
was
Abstrusio
by
the
rest
that
were
in
the
shippe
,
as
is
alreadie
said
.
Now
Claramant
arriued
,
and
with
a
flourish
swaying
about
his
axe
,
hee
strooke
the
Pagan
on
the
helme
:
it
is
too
weake
to
defence
the
head
,
for
with
a
big
wound
he
was
felled
.
To
succor
him
came
the
braue
Assyrian
Prince
,
who
heere
got
nothing
now
,
for
the
rigorous
axe
will
not
pardon
Loue
it selfe
:
the
which
was
discharged
on
the
midst
of
his
shield
:
It
cleft
it
in
two
,
and
had
not
his
armor
béene
Telimonios
,
his
breast
had
béen
so
too
:
yet
hee
stumbled
backwards
,
not
knowing
what
he
did
.
Then
turned
he
vpon
the
two
valiant
brothers
,
reaching
Floraliza
besides
her
helme
:
and
although
her
beautie
did
not
deserue
it
,
he
made
her
stumble
as
shee
would
fall
.
At
her
did
Rosabell
let
driue
,
felling
her
altogither
on
the
ground
.
To
helpe
her
hasted
Don
Argante
,
which
was
to
no
small
effect
,
hitting
Claramant
a
venturous
blow
on
his
armes
,
making
him
loose
his
,
whose
force
could
not
but
haue
indaungered
Don
Celind●
Like
an
angrie
Lyon
did
the
gallant
Torisiano
set
vpon
Lyrianas
●●●er
,
and
giuing
him
on
his
helme
a
most
fierce
blow
.
It
forced
him
touch
the
Barke
with
one
hand
.
By
this
was
Floraliza
on
his
féete
,
who
more
furious
then
an
Hyrcanian
beast
,
with
both
hands
raised
Camillas
sword
,
laying
it
on
Rosabell
before
he
rose
.
With
a
little
more
,
she
had
layde
him
along
:
yet
she
stayed
to
giue
him
a
thrust
at
his
rising
,
which
she
did
with
the
vtmost
of
her
strength
,
driuing
him
two
steppes
from
her
.
Disgraced
was
the
Brittaine
here
,
for
either
tripping
one
leg
with
another
,
or
by
the
strength
of
the
blowe
,
he
fell
on
his
backe
at
Don
Celindos
féete
.
Who
thinking
he
had
occasion
by
the
front
,
would
not
omit
it
,
for
seeing
him
so
stagger
,
he
turned
his
sword
about
ouer
his
head
,
and
discharged
it
at
full
on
the
Gréekes
helme
.
Doubt
do
the
wise
men
,
to
whether
Rosabels
fall
may
be
attributed
.
It
extreamly
gréeued
Abstrusio
that
was
hard
by
him
,
then
who
was
neuer
Lyon
more
fierce
.
He
met
with
Floraliza
,
that
eagerly
followed
the
Gréeke
,
on
whose
shield
he
layde
the
waight
of
his
armes
with
his
broad
sword
,
in
such
manner
,
that
beating
it
against
her
head
,
it
left
her
sencelesse
.
He
had
time
to
turne
vpon
Don
Celindo
,
that
would
haue
knéeled
on
the
Brittaine
,
whom
he
gaue
so
mightie
a
stroke
on
his
shoulders
,
that
he
inforced
him
backwards
faster
then
he
came
.
Then
gaue
hée
the
Pagan
his
hand
,
who
quickly
got
on
his
legges
,
and
so
at
his
pleasure
tooke
his
reuenge
on
the
brothers
,
that
they
were
fully
requited
with
interest
.
In
this
season
was
not
Claridiano
so
ydle
,
as
to
witnesse
what
his
vnckle
performed
,
for
neuer
any
knight
did
better
backe
his
friend
.
There
was
no
Gyants
durst
come
neare
the
inchanted
barke
,
but
in
satisfaction
of
his
presumption
,
left
his
life
in
the
handes
of
the
one
or
other
.
Sometimes
would
Claramant
hitting
his
enemie
with
his
axe
,
strike
him
euen
to
Claridianos
standing
,
who
finished
the
reckoning
,
bereauing
him
of
his
life
,
whose
fortune
brought
him
thither
.
The
horror
which
was
made
there
,
séemed
no
lesse
then
if
the
whole
frame
of
heauen
would
fall
:
for
all
the
famous
Pagans
repaired
to
the
Tower
,
maintaining
the
battell
in
an
equall
state
where
they
were
:
but
in
all
other
places
else
,
there
was
nothing
heard
but
victorie
for
the
Gréekes
.
Breaking
through
so
many
valiant
aduersaries
rusht
the
inchanted
Barke
,
till
it
confronted
Brufaldoros
.
It
much
pleased
Claramant
to
beholde
the
Pagans
disposition
,
and
with
what
furie
hée
defended
his
arch
.
With
thousands
of
dead
bodies
hee
had
strewed
the
vast
sea
,
hauing
thitherto
with
honor
augmented
his
fame
:
but
the
blinde
Goddesse
intending
altogither
to
fauor
the
Grecians
,
conducted
thither
the
inuincible
Claramant
,
all
died
with
Sarazens
blood
.
The
Moore
then
ended
the
felling
of
the
gallant
Persian
on
his
Barke
,
to
poore
Laissas
extream
grief
that
beheld
it
:
who
quickly
saw
him
pay
for
it
dearly
.
For
as
the
Barke
past
all
the
Christian
vessels
,
made
the
warriour
way
,
somewhat
he
might
reuenge
them
for
their
sustained
disgraces
,
and
others
(
that
waighed
not
their
honours
)
because
they
would
not
meddle
with
him
.
Many
left
their
fights
,
hearing
that
the
Knight
of
the
Lyons
combatted
with
him
that
kept
the
arches
of
the
Tower
.
With
fresh
courage
entred
the
famous
combattants
.
Most
nimble
was
the
Moore
,
and
knowing
his
enemies
valor
,
with
what
aduantage
he
had
with
his
axe
,
he
purposed
to
procéed
warily
in
this
battel
,
and
helpe
himselfe
with
that
dexteritie
the
heauens
had
lent
him
.
So
with
his
shield
on
his
arme
,
and
his
sword
poynting
outwardes
,
stayed
for
him
.
The
venturous
youth
did
not
respect
nor
care
toward
his
aduersaries
blows
,
saue
onely
brandished
his
axe
about
,
letting
it
fall
where
it
would
,
but
Brufaldoro
was
no
knight
to
bee
assaulted
so
openly
and
carelesly
,
for
letting
the
axe
flie
ouer
his
head
,
he
set
his
knées
on
the
ground
,
and
in
that
manner
he
gaue
the
Prince
so
mightie
a
blowe
on
his
left
side
.
Had
not
his
armor
béene
so
sure
,
in
two
hee
had
béen
diuided
,
yet
it
made
him
stagger
as
if
hee
would
haue
fallen
on
that
side
.
This
was
the
first
and
greatest
blowe
that
Claramant
receiued
.
With
more
aduise
he
turned
,
and
being
well
setled
,
whilded
aloft
his
axe
.
All
his
trickes
nor
agilitie
auayled
the
great
Mauritanian
king
,
for
falling
on
the
edge
of
his
shield
,
all
it
reached
was
cut
away
,
letting
the
cruel
blow
light
on
the
Pagans
temples
.
Neither
armor
nor
inchantment
can
resist
the
furious
axe
,
for
in
sight
of
the
greatest
Princes
and
best
knights
of
the
world
,
the
mightie
K.
of
Mauritania
with
a
daungerous
wound
was
felled
all
along
vppon
the
hatches
of
his
barke
.
Highly
was
the
knight
of
the
Lyons
extolde
by
all
the
beholders
,
for
they
that
knew
Brufaldoro
,
and
at
one
blowe
saw
him
on
the
ground
,
could
not
imagine
whom
his
aduersarie
might
be
.
With
mightie
furie
did
the
barke
passe
forward
as
far
as
Bembo
,
at
such
time
as
the
proud
Moore
rose
in
amaze
,
&
flinging
to
his
enemie
,
in
his
place
he
encountred
the
haughtie
Claridiano
,
representing
the
sterne
God
of
battelles
on
the
seas
.
Betwixt
them
both
they
began
one
of
the
fiercest
combats
of
that
day
:
for
the
Pagan
rores
and
blasphemes
against
heauen
,
when
thinking
to
be
reuenged
,
he
met
whom
he
imagined
not
,
being
so
brauely
to
his
cost
resisted
by
Claridiano
,
that
many
times
he
was
strooke
sencelesse
.
Many
gazed
on
their
fight
,
iudging
him
and
his
companions
of
the
Lyons
,
the
flower
of
both
armies
.
Quickly
did
the
furious
Claramant
,
attract
all
the
spectators
eyes
after
him
,
who
then
had
like
to
haue
incurred
much
danger
,
for
bearing
his
ayme
on
Brauorant
,
the
valiant
Bembo
stept
vnder
his
armes
,
and
in
his
passage
gaue
him
a
daungerous
thrust
.
There
stayed
the
Barke
,
and
ere
the
Gréek
could
turne
about
his
axe
,
Achayan
was
ioyned
to
Claramant
.
The
Pagan
greatly
fearing
the
Gréekes
weapons
,
went
as
neare
him
as
he
could
,
and
so
reached
at
his
sword
.
With
some
amaze
hee
made
him
giue
backe
,
else
he
had
easily
drawne
it
.
Claridiano
did
by
chance
perceiue
it
,
whereat
with
one
step
he
was
with
him
.
Neuer
did
two
knights
better
ayde
one
another
,
then
the
kinsmen
.
At
his
armes
he
let
flie
a
mightie
blowe
,
it
made
him
forget
his
hold
of
the
sword
,
and
retire
thrée
steppes
,
helped
thereto
with
an
enuious
thrust
.
And
hauing
performed
his
succor
,
he
returned
very
quicke
vnto
his
first
place
.
For
the
Assyrian
and
Don
Argante
were
come
thither
,
to
both
whom
hée
made
knowne
the
valor
of
his
person
.
More
abashed
then
may
be
expressed
.
Claramant
retired
a
little
backe
(
séeing
what
had
happened
him
with
Bembo
)
to
fetch
about
his
axe
,
which
he
did
with
such
furie
,
that
it
caused
chil
colde
feare
in
the
hearts
of
the
furthest
remooued
,
but
not
in
the
valiant
Achayan
,
that
nothing
at
all
daunted
,
entred
within
him
as
he
raised
his
weapon
,
and
with
his
vtmost
strength
he
strooke
him
on
his
thighes
.
A
more
troublesome
blowe
had
not
the
Gréek
receiued
,
for
the
paine
thereof
made
him
loose
his
.
Wherevppon
he
would
haue
closed
with
him
:
but
the
mightie
Bembo
striking
his
axe
outwardes
with
his
sword
,
and
before
hee
could
defend
himselfe
,
hee
discharged
it
on
his
helme
.
He
made
him
set
one
knée
on
the
ground
,
and
sée
the
least
stars
in
the
firmament
at
broad
day
.
Ere
he
could
rise
,
he
strooke
him
againe
on
the
shoulders
with
no
lesse
fiercenesse
.
But
all
this
cannot
auayle
him
,
to
shunne
what
the
cruel
Mistresse
of
inconstant
times
had
decréede
against
him
.
For
the
Gréeke
being
well
recouered
,
and
strongly
getting
on
his
féete
,
with
extreamest
furie
of
inraged
wrath
,
with
his
remorcelesse
axe
,
he
met
the
Achayans
head
.
It
cut
away
all
the
toppe
,
and
a
great
péece
on
the
side
,
and
had
killed
him
outright
,
striking
somthing
lower
:
yet
in
a
trance
he
felled
him
downe
.
And
so
brauely
passed
forth
vnto
the
third
Arche
,
defended
by
the
flower
of
Chiualrie
.
There
was
neither
friend
nor
foe
but
admired
the
knight
of
the
Lyons
fortitude
.
So
well
was
he
backed
by
his
Coosen
,
that
his
prayses
with
his
Vnckles
merits
,
were
sung
in
an
equal
key
.
For
there
was
no
knight
so
hardie
that
durst
but
imagine
to
interrupt
their
passage
,
séeing
their
maintenance
.
Within
reach
one
of
an
other
,
approached
the
two
warriers
.
Eyther
by
the
sole
viewe
estéemed
his
aduersary
.
Brandishing
his
heauie
blade
,
the
Gran
Campeons
Nephew
,
prepared
himselfe
for
his
defence
,
with
such
aspect
,
that
I
know
not
he
,
would
not
feare
him
.
Now
manner
of
fight
would
Claramant
haue
deuised
against
him
,
considering
his
wel
knit
sinewes
,
and
strong
composed
members
.
There
he
repented
that
little
pause
,
iudging
it
cowardise
to
make
that
small
stay
.
With
his
axe
on
his
shoulder
and
his
left
foote
forward
,
he
went
against
his
enemie
,
that
with
his
sword
in
both
hands
expected
him
in
the
same
manner
.
A
more
fearefull
spectacle
was
neuer
séene
:
for
most
of
the
spectators
dreading
their
sight
closed
their
eyes
.
So
Claramant
made
as
if
he
would
execute
his
blowe
,
but
in
the
middest
of
his
course
he
stayed
his
weapon
,
to
take
him
vnawares
,
as
he
fetched
it
about
againe
.
Carelesse
was
not
the
Scythian
,
but
rather
none
like
him
,
did
with
more
warinesse
lay
holde
of
aduantage
in
the
processe
of
his
battels
.
And
so
perceiuing
his
aduersaries
intent
,
he
closed
with
him
so
quickly
,
that
when
he
would
haue
strooke
him
,
the
Pagan
had
executed
his
blowe
.
There
is
no
knight
how
valiant
soeuer
,
that
hauing
receiued
such
a
one
,
durst
haue
expected
an
other
:
for
this
forced
the
Prince
backwards
within
his
barke
,
and
dragged
his
axe
after
him
.
A
thousand
times
would
the
Pagan
haue
leaped
after
him
,
which
he
left
,
because
he
would
not
forsake
his
Arch.
A
brauer
blowe
in
all
that
warre
was
not
giuen
,
nor
neuer
did
Claramant
receiue
a
bigger
,
for
it
made
the
blood
gush
from
his
nose
and
nostrels
.
So
farre
had
the
Pagan
run
within
him
,
that
he
could
not
strike
him
with
his
axe
,
but
rather
Bramarants
fierce
sonne
seconded
it
most
mightily
.
Neuer
did
Trebatios
haughtie
sonne
do
,
what
at
this
instant
,
which
was
by
stepping
aside
,
to
shun
his
aduersaries
stroke
.
And
as
he
wished
it
,
so
hee
sawe
the
stoute
Pagan
follow
the
furious
waight
of
his
blade
.
Wherat
the
Gréeke
setled
himselfe
on
his
left
foote
,
and
crushing
one
tooth
with
an
other
,
with
the
vtmost
of
his
strength
,
he
discharged
his
rage
on
his
Helme
.
From
it
bounded
the
Axe
,
else
it
had
battered
all
his
head
:
neuerthelesse
the
blowe
so
astonisht
him
,
that
not
knowing
what
he
did
,
he
staggard
as
he
would
fall
.
Whereupon
Claramant
brauely
leapt
after
him
into
his
Barke
:
the
like
did
Claridiano
,
and
either
supposing
the
other
would
not
strike
him
,
they
both
at
once
executed
two
most
puissant
blowes
.
Altogither
without
féeling
,
they
felled
him
.
Little
honour
got
the
kinsmen
by
the
déed
,
for
being
two
,
and
of
such
note
,
it
was
rather
the
Pagans
glorie
to
be
vanquished
at
their
hands
.
Scarce
was
the
blowe
discharged
,
when
the
Tower
was
all
couered
with
a
blacke
thicke
myst
,
and
with
the
same
,
with
such
horror
was
a
larum
sounded
,
as
in
the
beginning
of
the
conflict
.
With
thundring
and
lightnings
,
shrikes
and
hideous
fearfull
cries
,
and
terrible
claimours
,
were
both
Armies
affrighted
:
the
cause
was
,
that
Lupercio
séeing
how
his
hopes
were
by
Fortune
crost
,
procured
to
obtaine
by
his
Arte
,
what
with
so
many
thousand
men
he
could
not
get
.
But
Nabato
the
Gréeke
friend
,
that
had
more
skil
then
he
,
with
Nygromanticke
spelles
and
Coniurations
,
dissolued
the
others
exorcismes
,
and
so
cleared
the
Tower
as
before
.
From
whose
highest
top
was
a
Ladder
let
downe
,
by
which
two
knights
might
well
get
vp
at
once
.
Slow
to
doo
it
was
not
the
valiant
Gréeke
,
casting
his
axe
vpon
his
shoulder
,
at
such
time
as
the
strong
Pagan
rose
from
the
ground
.
There
is
no
Lyon
missing
his
praie
,
more
fiercer
then
he
,
for
roaring
like
a
bayted
Bull
séeing
him
with
the
axe
ascend
,
he
would
haue
followed
him
:
but
Claridiano
preuented
it
,
confronting
him
,
arme
against
arme
,
and
sword
against
sword
,
and
with
a
braue
thrust
inforst
him
backe
.
Well
did
Branorant
expresse
his
wrath
by
discharging
his
blade
with
both
hands
on
the
others
rich
helme
,
the
finesse
of
whose
temper
,
saued
his
life
:
yet
it
did
not
kéepe
him
from
touching
the
grounde
with
his
knées
,
voyding
blood
from
his
vysor
.
Thither
rowed
amaine
in
their
Barkes
,
came
with
inraged
fury
,
the
two
lustie
warriours
,
Bembo
,
and
Brufaldoro
,
by
whose
comming
,
Claridiano
had
incurred
much
daunger
,
if
they
had
entered
:
but
the
gallant
Rosabel
,
that
with
Don
Celindo
and
Floraliza
combatted
,
hauing
approched
so
very
neare
to
Brauorants
barke
,
he
leapt
into
it
,
when
Bembo
arriued
to
doo
so
.
The
Brytaine
hindred
him
from
it
,
driuing
him
away
with
a
braue
thrust
,
not
onely
making
him
loose
his
intent
,
but
hopes
of
euer
getting
his
desires
:
For
the
magnanimious
Dacian
rushing
among
them
,
interrupted
Brufaldoro
from
ayding
the
Scythian
.
And
so
one
with
others
beginning
a
fierce
battell
,
the
second
Mars
Claramant
had
time
to
ascend
vp
the
ladder
,
not
without
much
paine
,
for
vnséene
of
him
by
whom
he
was
strooke
,
he
felt
himselfe
mortally
wounded
.
Vnto
the
top
of
the
Tower
he
arriued
,
with
more
courage
then
Hector
amiddest
the
Myrmedons
,
where
he
was
opposed
by
two
deformed
Giants
with
heauie
Maces
.
But
as
Fortune
had
vowed
to
fauour
him
,
like
lightning
he
put
himselfe
among
them
,
with
the
best
weapon
the
world
contained
.
In
middest
of
the
Gallery
he
stretched
him
at
length
,
which
being
broade
inough
,
oh
who
were
able
distinctly
to
dylate
the
wonders
he
performed
,
swaying
about
his
axe
:
for
the
Gyants
onely
are
there
to
fight
,
from
whence
they
draw
strength
for
their
defence
,
and
courage
from
their
wounds
:
the
which
maketh
our
knight
take
the
condition
of
a
Lyon
,
assayling
and
retyring
,
like
an
Eagle
in
swiftnesse
:
but
the
more
hee
toyles
,
the
more
doth
it
augment
force
in
his
aduersaries
,
for
their
inchanment
lies
in
tumbling
downe
the
way
Claramant
ascended
.
Long
endured
not
this
strife
:
for
the
Prince
séeming
to
feare
them
,
gaue
a
litle
backe
,
wherat
they
eagerly
followed
him
,
which
he
well
noting
,
set
on
him
that
came
foremost
,
and
méeting
him
right
against
the
ladder
,
he
turned
about
his
axe
,
with
such
fury
,
that
with
it
he
feld
the
Giant
ouer
,
who
was
neuer
more
séene
.
The
Gréeke
was
of
pregnant
and
sharp
vnderstanding
,
so
he
straight
perceiuing
the
cause
,
which
made
him
auoiding
a
blow
of
the
suruiuer
,
close
with
him
,
&
suddenly
hoysting
him
aloft
,
tumbled
him
the
same
way
his
companion
went
.
If
all
the
frame
of
heauen
and
earth
had
fell
,
it
could
not
haue
caused
more
feare
,
then
what
surprysed
the
hearts
of
euery
one
by
the
Gyants
death
.
So
wearie
remained
Claramant
,
that
to
ease
himselfe
,
he
raised
his
Beauer
,
to
breathe
a
while
,
and
so
he
looked
out
at
a
window
on
the
battle
,
reioycing
to
sée
so
many
of
his
enemies
vessels
to
burne
with
fire
.
Long
stood
he
not
so
,
because
the
wise
Nabato
in
company
of
the
Ladyes
,
issued
out
of
an
other
fayre
Gallery
.
The
Gréeke
had
not
till
then
(
since
his
enchantment
)
séene
any
woman
,
which
made
him
admire
these
fayres
,
iudging
none
might
equall
the
cheefest
of
them
.
So
the
wise
man
approached
,
saying
.
Most
excellent
knight
,
you
may
account
your selfe
in
more
then
I
may
well
expresse
,
hauing
ended
such
an
aduenture
as
this
,
onely
reserued
for
the
valour
of
your
person
,
and
vertue
of
those
armes
,
the
which
vntill
this
instant
,
haue
cost
you
most
deare
:
yet
must
you
more
indure
,
sustaining
many
dangers
about
them
:
and
therefore
henceforth
begin
to
take
courage
.
And
as
for
what
you
haue
done
for
these
Ladies
,
because
in
part
it
concernes
your selfe
,
they
shall
not
néed
to
thanke
you
.
And
more
in
this
matter
I
am
not
permitted
to
say
till
you
shall
loose
your
libertie
,
recouering
then
both
father
,
mother
,
friends
and
wife
.
And
while
I
liue
,
will
I
assist
you
to
my
power
,
for
my
Lyons
sake
that
is
among
you
,
whom
I
account
as
my
sonne
.
So
for
this
time
ceasing
,
I
commit
vnto
your
victorious
hands
,
Lyriana
the
faire
princesse
of
Nyquea
,
espoused
vnto
the
valiant
Gréek
Prince
Rosabell
,
that
belowe
expected
her
,
brauely
backing
you
with
your
deare
friend
.
Hauing
thus
said
,
he
vanished
,
&
Claramant
taking
the
Lady
by
the
hand
,
fairer
then
the
sun
,
he
ledde
her
downe
the
steps
,
at
the
noise
of
such
swéete
musicke
,
that
it
much
delighted
both
fléetes
.
Thither
repaired
most
of
the
valiantest
Pagans
,
imagining
the
aduenture
ended
.
Oh
Bembo
,
it
touches
thée
more
than
any
,
&
so
more
then
humane
deeds
doest
thou
perform
,
yet
all
auaile
not
against
thy
contrarious
fates
:
for
the
Gréeke
Emperor
séeing
the
aduentures
end
,
commanded
certaine
Gyants
to
rowe
him
there
,
with
more
furie
to
breake
through
his
enemies
:
with
whom
went
most
of
the
warlike
Knights
:
He
that
best
deserued
in
that
exigent
,
discharging
the
hopes
of
him
expected
,
was
the
braue
Tartarian
Zoylo
,
being
high
treasurer
of
all
the
fleete
,
who
desirous
to
shew
how
much
he
was
indebted
to
Rosabell
,
chose
out
eight
of
the
best
furnished
Gallies
,
both
of
sayle
and
munition
,
and
with
them
in
a
rancke
,
he
set
himselfe
along
the
Arches
,
that
way
to
hinder
his
aduersaries
approach
,
although
all
their
fléete
made
thitherwards
:
and
so
ioyning
with
Oristoldo
,
and
his
valiant
father
in
his
ship
,
with
Abstrusios
barke
,
which
was
the
strongest
on
all
the
sea
,
they
brauely
resisted
the
Pagans
furie
,
that
then
seemed
reuenous
.
Nothing
helped
them
,
for
then
Claramant
descended
with
his
Beauer
closed
,
because
he
would
not
be
knowne
by
any
.
With
a
loude
voice
he
demanded
for
Rosabell
.
Farre
from
him
was
not
the
glad
youth
,
most
ioyfull
séeing
his
Lady
sure
from
his
enemies
.
She
was
deliuered
to
him
with
these
words
.
I
doo
so
much
desire
your
content
(
most
valiant
Prince
,
)
that
to
procure
it
,
I
haue
indeuoured
to
doo
thus
much
:
and
so
in
signe
that
I
will
euer
be
your
friend
while
life
indures
,
I
present
you
with
the
spoiles
,
onely
due
to
your
vallour
.
Whereto
the
Prince
replied
.
Braue
knight
,
I
doo
not
so
much
estéeme
the
good
you
haue
done
me
by
liberating
my
espowse
,
although
my
life
depended
thereon
,
as
the
generositie
and
magnanimitie
wherewith
you
doo
it
,
which
is
so
great
,
that
I
cannot
requite
,
saue
by
perpetually
acknowledging
the
debt
you
haue
bound
vs
all
in
,
and
referre
the
satisfaction
to
your
owne
merits
,
from
whence
this
memorable
act
procéeds
.
The
great
hurleburly
brake
off
their
farther
spéeches
,
whereat
he
returned
,
for
the
other
Ladies
and
Rosabel
with
his
in
his
armes
,
was
conducted
to
the
Christians
Imperiall
Admirall
,
where
the
Gréeke
Emperour
receiued
them
with
the
greatest
ioy
in
the
worlde
.
Presently
was
victorie
proclaimed
for
the
Gréekes
:
who
being
assured
thereof
,
fought
fiercer
then
at
first
.
The
sunne
with
his
absence
parted
that
more
then
wondrous
Battle
:
and
so
the
Pagans
fearing
their
vtter
ouerthrow
,
sounded
retrait
,
leauing
the
third
part
of
their
vesselles
swallowed
by
the
sea
,
with
infinit
number
of
Knights
and
Gyants
.
They
entred
into
counsell
to
sée
what
befitted
them
.
Voyces
were
giuen
altogither
to
ende
the
battle
:
but
in
the
end
they
resolued
the
contrary
,
because
their
aduersaries
held
Fortune
by
the
hand
,
and
thereuppon
withdrew
towards
Nyquea
,
from
whence
with
fresh
supplies
and
new
hostes
,
to
turne
vpon
Grecia
they
resolued
.
Some
comfort
was
this
to
those
that
were
like
to
burst
with
fury
.
Bembo
would
not
be
cured
,
til
the
Souldan
himselfe
intreated
him
.
So
madde
was
Brauorant
,
that
none
durst
looke
him
on
the
face
.
The
wise
man
,
consolated
and
animated
them
,
saying
he
did
finde
by
his
Art
,
that
if
there
doo
not
come
more
supplies
to
Grecia
,
they
should
surely
conquere
it
:
for
their
partie
would
be
far
augmented
,
by
the
vniting
of
many
more
Princes
much
wronged
by
the
Gréekes
.
With
this
they
were
appeased
,
although
destitute
of
consolation
.
Nothing
so
were
the
Gréekes
,
that
all
the
night
spent
in
ioy
and
pleasure
,
not
missing
their
lost
men
,
though
they
were
very
many
.
The
Emperor
with
all
his
sons
,
wold
néeds
passe
into
Abstrusios
great
and
strong
Galleon
,
to
doo
him
that
fauour
.
Who
requested
the
kissing
of
his
handes
,
but
the
Emperor
would
not
,
and
imbracing
him
,
said
.
If
I
had
knowne
we
had
bene
all
souldiers
vnto
so
braue
a
Captaine
,
I
had
with
better
hopes
expected
the
happie
successe
of
this
conflict
.
What
I
did
,
in
what
degrée
soeuer
,
(
most
mightie
Monarche
he
replied
)
was
through
imagination
of
the
great
content
I
hoped
would
haue
redowned
by
my
seruice
,
the
which
I
assure
eternally
vnto
your
Crowne
.
All
the
warlike
Ladies
assembled
togither
,
where
Archysilora
made
her selfe
knowne
.
The
Emperour
tooke
her
in
his
armes
saying
.
In
faith
,
beléeue
me
faire
Quéene
,
our
victorie
hath
bene
too
small
,
since
procured
by
such
hands
.
Rosamonde
reioyced
in
her
hart
with
her
comming
,
for
they
intierly
loued
.
Then
the
Emperor
sent
for
Venus
,
and
Layssa
,
who
brought
with
them
their
two
litle
daughters
,
whose
bewtie
euery
one
admyred
.
There
also
the
graund
Trebatio
greatly
thanked
Pollidolpho
for
his
good
aide
.
And
euery
one
in
generall
,
were
busied
in
the
entertainment
of
so
woorthie
a
successe
.
Through
all
the
Fléete
,
the
Emperour
commaunded
the
two
knights
to
be
sought
for
,
that
had
ended
the
aduenture
:
but
not
finding
them
,
he
was
aduertised
how
they
departed
in
the
greatest
haste
possible
.
After
them
had
the
Emperor
sent
,
but
that
Nabato
staied
him
,
that
would
not
depart
without
visiting
his
Dacian
,
and
speake
to
the
Emperor
,
who
entertained
him
as
his
déeds
and
merites
deserued
.
He
made
reply
according
to
his
wisedome
,
perswading
them
not
to
gréeue
for
the
two
knights
absence
,
whom
they
should
sée
in
other
new
contents
,
which
the
one
should
conceiue
vntil
death
,
although
the
other
,
is
so
tormented
with
amorous
cares
,
that
the
earth
can
affoord
him
no
pleasure
,
because
the
giuer
thereof
is
in
this
shippe
.
None
could
directly
suspect
who
he
was
,
yet
some
iudged
him
to
be
Claridiano
,
and
they
were
the
two
gallant
Ladies
,
Rosamond
and
Archysilora
,
who
was
comforted
with
hope
to
sée
him
in
Grecia
,
where
she
would
assure
him
of
his
glorie
,
and
how
that
if
she
were
beloued
,
he
was
no
lesse
.
It
was
presently
knowne
by
spies
,
how
their
enemies
were
withdrawne
homewards
.
It
nothing
gréeued
them
,
in
that
for
Lyrianas
sake
,
they
willingly
would
haue
accorded
to
any
good
motion
.
Before
that
Nabato
departed
,
he
aduertised
them
,
they
should
not
dissolue
theyr
Hostes
,
for
that
they
would
returne
vpon
Crecia
,
with
the
greatest
powers
on
the
earth
,
against
which
the
fierce
Lyonesse
would
rise
,
stirred
vp
by
the
Russet
Lyon
.
With
this
he
tooke
his
leaue
of
the
Gréekes
,
leauing
them
much
bound
vnto
him
.
A
great
while
he
conferd
with
Don
Eleno
,
to
whome
he
declared
the
cause
of
the
future
warre
,
and
that
since
he
was
the
greatest
cause
thereof
,
he
should
procure
to
make
knowne
the
vtmost
of
his
vallor
:
because
that
partie
which
should
most
respect
him
,
would
most
oppresse
him
,
and
would
many
times
put
him
in
imminent
daungers
of
his
life
,
yet
all
should
honorably
ende
,
to
his
lasting
fame
,
and
Rosamonds
.
So
he
imbraced
him
,
vanishing
far
from
thence
.
The
next
morning
,
the
victorious
Gréekes
in
tryumphant
manner
made
towards
Constantinople
,
hauing
finished
the
famousest
nauall
fight
that
was
heard
or
read
of
.
Forewards
did
King
Sacridoro
put
forth
,
to
be
the
first
should
beare
those
happy
tydings
vnto
the
Empresse
,
which
he
accordingly
performed
.
And
with
prosperous
windes
,
not
long
after
they
arriued
all
at
Constantinople
,
in
whose
welcome
,
there
happened
what
the
next
Chapter
shall
declare
.
CHAP.
XXIIII
.
How
the
Emperour
Trebatio
with
all
his
Fleete
,
arriued
at
Constantinople
.
His
welcome
,
with
what
else
happened
.
NO
sooner
were
the
furious
horses
of
the
Sun
,
harnest
in
theyr
bright
Caparisons
of
shining
light
,
readie
to
drawe
the
golden
Charriot
of
heauens
glittering
eye
,
through
the
Christal
paued
wayes
of
the
Azure
skies
,
expelling
thence
the
duskie
Cloudes
of
leaden
melancholy
darkenesse
,
when
the
Gréekes
gallant
Fléete
containing
so
many
Princes
,
and
braue
Knights
,
appeared
in
sight
of
the
famous
Citie
of
Constantinople
,
sounding
so
many
millitary
Instruments
,
as
if
that
were
the
instant
of
the
earths
generall
desolation
.
Such
thicke
smoake
of
smothering
fiery
mysts
,
raised
the
discharged
ordinance
in
wel
ordred
peales
,
that
one
vessel
could
not
discerne
the
other
.
Which
past
,
the
Gallies
and
Shippes
beganne
to
showe
themselues
,
daring
the
windes
with
their
proude
streamers
,
and
all
their
toppes
with
dauncing
Banners
made
of
silke
,
whose
méeting
displayed
in
the
aire
,
rauished
the
beholding
sences
with
ioy
:
which
on
the
other
side
,
was
a
corsiue
to
the
hearts
of
the
afflicted
prisoners
,
séeing
theirs
as
trophies
of
the
victorie
,
set
vp
among
their
aduersaries
.
The
eccho
on
the
water
of
mellodious
harmony
of
concordant
Musicke
,
was
a
comfort
to
the
poore
wounded
souldiers
,
who
were
all
committed
to
the
warlike
Troians
charge
.
The
discréet
Citizens
were
not
all
this
while
carelesse
,
but
rather
in
preparations
to
feast
their
Prince
had
bene
most
carefull
.
All
the
Castles
in
the
Citie
welcommed
them
according
to
their
vsuall
custome
,
placing
on
the
highest
of
euery
one
,
the
Emperours
Imperiall
standards
.
To
the
sea
side
came
all
the
gallant
youthes
brauely
Armed
,
and
euery
one
a
blew
scarfe
,
and
in
their
hands
swords
and
daggers
,
wherwith
they
skirmiged
as
they
went
.
In
two
parts
they
diuided
themselues
to
take
the
Princes
in
the
middle
,
that
then
were
comming
forth
of
Abstrusios
Admirall
.
A
most
faire
Bridge
they
set
vp
,
from
the
Galleon
to
the
shore
,
with
many
stately
Arches
,
all
couered
with
gréen
cloth
of
golde
,
and
they
with
many
curious
Pictures
,
containing
all
the
Gréeke
Princes
Battles
and
aduentures
.
Who
issued
foorth
in
this
manner
.
First
marched
the
Emperor
Trebatio
,
betwéene
his
two
sonnes
,
representing
such
Maiestie
and
chearfull
semblance
,
that
therewith
his
subiects
were
much
gladded
.
A
little
behinde
them
,
appeared
those
thrée
Myrrors
of
beawtie
,
Lyriana
,
Archysilora
,
and
Rosamond
,
who
to
please
the
Princesse
of
Nyquea
,
had
put
off
their
strong
abillements
of
warre
.
They
were
all
thrée
attyred
in
gréene
,
cut
vpon
cloth
of
siluer
,
and
tackte
with
knottes
of
Pearle
,
and
betwéene
euery
cut
,
a
button
of
rich
Dyamonds
:
on
whose
sparkeling
light
,
the
reuerberating
sun
dazeling
thereon
,
depriued
the
beholders
of
the
Ladies
sight
.
Large
&
wide
were
their
garments
,
with
long
sléeues
hanging
to
the
ground
,
all
richly
Embrodered
,
euen
much
like
the
fashion
now
vsed
in
France
.
Other
shorter
they
woare
on
their
arms
,
laced
ouer
with
great
Orient
Pearles
,
with
cuts
drawne
through
with
finest
cloath
of
Golde
,
faced
with
white
and
crimson
,
according
to
the
vsance
of
the
Parthians
.
Their
disheueld
hayre
dangled
downe
in
tramels
,
whereon
,
there
is
not
any
,
but
would
haue
hung
thereon
a
thousand
soules
,
and
iudge
them
too
fewe
for
their
merits
.
To
conclude
,
they
were
so
excéeding
absolute
in
all
perfections
,
that
Apollo
blushed
to
bee
excelled
in
bewtie
by
humane
creatures
,
who
to
enioy
the
contemplation
of
their
excellencies
,
and
surfet
in
imaginary
conceits
of
their
rarieties
,
curbed
with
his
raignes
,
the
hastie
galloping
of
his
fierce
and
vnstayed
stéeds
.
A
little
after
them
,
followed
other
thrée
,
no
lesse
bewtifull
then
they
.
These
wer
the
gallant
Venus
,
the
braue
Layssa
,
with
the
faire
Syrinda
.
They
would
not
change
colour
,
and
therefore
were
all
in
Crimson
,
cut
vpon
Golde
.
Next
to
them
,
the
excellent
Empresse
,
Claridiana
,
attired
according
to
her
Maiesticke
state
and
grauitie
:
yet
with
such
exquisit
bewty
,
that
the
former
sixe
became
enuious
of
her
faire
.
She
passed
on
with
the
mightie
Abstrusio
,
whom
all
the
Gréekes
much
affected
.
The
rest
of
the
ladies
were
al
richly
apparelled
.
At
the
end
of
the
bridge
,
vpon
a
tryumphant
arch
,
stood
thrée
images
,
most
liuely
representing
the
first
thrée
ladies
.
Not
far
from
them
,
thrée
Syrens
,
with
Amber
tresses
dangling
to
the
ground
came
forth
,
and
playing
on
seuerall
Harpes
,
sung
seuerall
notes
one
after
the
other
,
thus
.
From
the
Lillies
is
she
hight
,
Robed
with
Emperious
might
:
Yet
she
staynes
the
Lillies
white
.
When
she
had
done
,
then
the
second
turning
to
the
Quéene
of
Lyra
,
sung
.
Earthly
thing
giues
not
her
name
,
Earth
cannot
expresse
the
same
:
Heauenly
t
is
,
and
thence
it
came
.
The
third
,
with
no
lesse
swéetnesse
,
remembred
Rosamond
,
in
this
manner
.
Though
last
,
not
least
,
but
with
the
best
,
The
worldes
sweete
Rose
is
well
exprest
:
A
faire
paire-royall
euer
blest
.
Hauing
all
ended
,
they
recorded
them
togither
,
with
such
recording
voyces
,
to
the
consort
of
their
delightfull
musick
,
nothing
different
from
Angels
harmony
.
And
as
they
went
vnder
it
,
from
the
opening
of
a
Cloude
,
spredde
vnder
the
Arch
,
after
a
tempest
of
artificall
thunder
and
lightening
,
there
raigned
downe
,
an
odoriferous
shewer
of
swéete
water-dewed
fragrant
flowers
,
whose
comfortable
odour
,
reuiued
all
their
sea-weakened
mindes
.
Before
they
had
passed
it
,
from
the
thickest
of
the
same
Cloude
,
there
descended
thrée
mightie
Eagles
,
eyther
with
a
coronet
of
flowers
in
their
billes
:
and
whipping
the
ayre
with
their
great
winges
:
they
with
them
,
crowned
the
thrée
most
gallant
Ladies
.
So
soone
as
they
were
gone
by
,
and
Venus
with
her
company
come
thither
,
the
thrée
Syrens
,
to
a
new
dulced
tune
,
with
one
voyce
sung
this
note
.
An other
faire
payre-royall
of
like
fame
,
That
doubtfull
t
is
,
which
hand
will
winne
the
game
.
The
twelue
Gouernors
of
the
Empire
,
with
all
the
courtiers
and
gallants
of
the
Cittie
,
expected
their
landing
at
the
shore
:
where
twelue
auncient
Peeres
,
clad
in
long
robes
of
cloath
of
Golde
trayling
on
the
ground
,
tooke
the
sixe
Ladies
vnder
a
cannabie
,
whose
value
excéeded
estimation
,
and
in
that
equipage
marched
forward
,
till
they
stayed
to
behold
a
Castle
,
erected
and
drawne
on
foure
whéeles
:
within
they
rung
a
larum
bell
,
crying
,
Nyquea
,
Nyquea
:
aduancing
on
the
highest
of
the
same
,
thrée
Ensignes
,
with
the
Ladies
armes
.
Then
in
rich
Armour
issued
out
thereof
,
thrée
well
accomplished
Knights
,
who
aloude
made
a
challenge
,
to
maintaine
they
were
the
Paragons
for
bewtie
and
fortitude
.
There
wanted
not
enemies
to
defend
the
contrarie
:
for
from
the
same
Castle
came
foorth
nine
knights
,
betwéene
whom
,
they
began
a
braue
combat
at
barriers
.
Then
beganne
the
Castle
to
mooue
,
discharging
so
many
fireworkes
,
as
if
it
were
al
on
a
flame
.
The
Ladies
wold
not
mount
on
horeseback
,
because
they
were
very
neare
the
chiefe
gate
of
the
Cittie
,
through
which
the
Theban
Duke
issued
foorth
with
the
imperial
Ensigne
:
who
intreated
the
Ladies
in
the
Cittizens
behalfe
,
to
dispose
of
the
Citie
as
their
natural
Lords
.
They
returnd
their
thankfulnes
according
to
their
states
,
highly
estéeming
of
their
solemne
entertainment
,
which
had
so
excéedingly
contented
Lyriana
,
that
shee
accounted
all
her
forepassed
troubles
well
bestowed
,
since
they
had
brought
her
to
so
happie
ende
.
In
all
the
Court
there
was
not
any
but
came
to
sée
the
arriuall
of
their
Princes
.
In
opinion
was
the
Ladies
beautie
had
,
whether
of
the
thrée
was
fairest
:
for
Lyrianas
sight
had
attracted
all
eyes
.
And
in
no
lesse
admiration
were
the
others
had
.
Such
presse
of
people
were
in
the
stréetes
,
that
had
not
the
Emperours
guard
gone
before
,
they
had
not
béene
able
to
passe
.
But
beeing
entred
into
the
yard
,
new
matters
did
happen
,
for
an
alarum
bell
was
with
furie
rung
in
Lyndabrides
inchantment
:
which
ended
,
they
heard
a
most
heauenly
noyse
of
swéet
musick
.
Ther
was
none
but
demanded
the
cause
of
that
vnaccustomed
accident
.
Whereto
the
wisemen
aunswered
.
That
by
reason
of
the
Nyquean
Princesse
comming
,
the
gates
were
opened
,
that
euerie
one
that
would
,
might
fréely
prooue
the
aduenture
.
Very
great
pleasure
conceiued
the
Emperour
Trebatio
thereat
:
so
did
the
grand
Alphebo
,
imagining
the
end
of
the
aduenture
was
at
hand
,
so
much
by
them
desired
.
I
do
omit
(
faire
Ladies
)
to
shunne
prolixitie
,
their
newe
welcomes
in
the
Hall
:
onely
remembring
Oliuas
ioy
,
with
the
sight
of
Lyriana
and
her
sonne
Rosabell
,
whom
also
with
the
other
Ladies
,
sonnes
,
and
kismen
,
the
Empresse
Briana
,
most
kindly
entertained
.
Few
daies
after
,
was
the
Brittaine
Prince
,
with
the
Princesse
of
Nyquea
,
married
by
the
Patriach
of
Constantinople
,
being
first
baptized
,
which
sacred
and
diuine
Sacrament
,
Rosamond
would
also
receiue
,
for
her
dear
Lords
sake
.
New
triumphs
had
béen
ordained
,
but
that
the
proofe
of
the
disamorous
Tower
did
intercept
them
:
for
as
the
promised
reward
was
so
great
,
euery
one
procured
most
,
to
shew
himselfe
most
forward
in
that
aduenture
.
Dinner
being
done
,
there
wanted
no
knights
that
offered
the
trial
,
but
as
it
required
such
great
valour
,
ere
the
sunne
setting
,
there
was
hung
about
the
Tower
,
aboue
two
hundreth
Shieldes
,
euery
one
placed
according
to
his
Maisters
deserts
.
Drowne
would
Apollo
his
cleare
light
,
in
Thetis
watery
lappe
,
when
through
the
place
there
entered
a
gallant
and
well
accomplished
Knight
,
clad
in
rose
colour
Armour
,
and
brauely
mounted
.
His
disposition
pleased
euery
one
.
Who
galloping
along
,
leaped
from
his
saddle
,
and
with
admirable
brauery
passed
into
the
Tower
.
Many
suspected
he
would
end
the
aduenture
,
séeing
with
what
courage
hee
ascended
the
defended
steps
.
But
foure
he
wanted
,
when
vnable
to
goe
any
further
,
hee
was
sencelesse
cast
from
the
Tower
,
hauing
his
Shéelde
set
very
neare
vnto
the
haughtie
Troians
.
This
knight
was
a
valiant
Pagan
Lord
,
of
Lesbos
I
le
,
not
farre
from
Troy
.
Who
hauing
landed
a
little
after
the
Ladies
came
thither
,
at
such
time
,
that
he
well
made
knowne
the
prowesse
of
his
person
.
Scarce
had
this
stout
Pagan
lost
his
entrance
,
but
Lyriamandros
haughtie
sonne
,
named
Tersildo
,
presented
himselfe
,
to
be
no
lesse
valiant
then
frée
from
the
vnweildie
yoake
of
of
loue
.
His
Armour
was
of
Azure
colour
,
with
many
starres
of
Golde
.
In
the
middest
of
his
shield
,
was
portrayed
a
knight
treading
on
Cupid
,
hauing
his
Bow
and
Quiuer
broken
:
with
this
Motto
.
Loue
resisted
is
a
childe
,
Suffered
,
is
a
Tyger
wilde
.
And
a
little
lower
.
The
scourge
of
heauen
,
and
earth
,
hell
,
sea
,
and
land
,
Is
scourg'd
and
maistered
by
a
humane
hand
.
There
was
no
Lady
there
,
but
gréeued
at
his
frée
deuice
,
nor
neuer
did
they
more
wish
any
knights
vanquishment
,
as
this
:
thinking
it
was
an
iniurie
vnto
their
sexe
,
to
haue
him
liue
at
libertie
.
Quickly
was
their
desire
satisfied
:
for
proouing
the
entrance
,
he
did
couragiously
arriue
as
farre
as
the
Pagan
,
whence
with
like
violence
hee
was
cast
forth
:
whose
vnhappie
chance
did
greatly
please
all
the
Ladies
present
.
The
nights
approach
with
sable
couerture
,
taking
her
place
in
Phoebus
absence
,
brake
off
the
instant
tryall
:
whereupon
the
Emperour
with
his
company
returned
to
the
Pallace
,
where
was
open
reuelling
.
Rosabell
daunced
with
Lyriana
,
and
euery
Prince
with
his
beloued
Lady
,
to
their
incomparable
ioy
.
All
which
,
did
but
more
and
more
gréeue
the
Quéene
of
Lyra
,
for
wanting
her
Claridiano
,
she
was
not
capable
of
the
least
pleasure
:
so
was
she
there
present
onely
,
but
in
person
,
for
her
soule
wandred
to
séeke
him
.
Iust
guerdon
for
her
straungenesse
,
which
she
long
time
was
forced
to
suffer
:
for
although
he
was
in
the
Gréeke
warres
,
none
knew
him
(
as
in
the
fourth
of
this
part
shall
be
expressed
)
nor
would
he
be
knowne
to
any
,
imagining
his
Lady
to
bee
still
displeased
with
him
:
whose
sight
did
sufficiently
strengthen
him
to
tollerate
his
paines
.
But
now
we
are
inioyned
to
leaue
her
,
and
the
disamorous
proofe
to
explicate
the
manner
,
how
the
Princesse
Roselia
,
and
Arbolinda
of
Scotland
were
liberated
,
whome
in
the
Forrest
,
thrée
miles
from

How
Claridiano
and
Claramant
arriued
at
the
Port
of
Rotta
,
where
they
founde
the
straunge
enchauntment
of
Roselia
,
and
what
haughtie
deedes
of
Chiualrie
they
there
performed
in
the
company
of
Alphebo
,
Brauorant
,
and
Don
Celindo
.
PLowing
the
foming
Billowes
of
the
vast
déepe
sea
,
with
their
inchaunted
barke
(
most
bewtious
dames
)
we
left
Claridiano
and
Claramant
,
with
no
small
ioy
,
for
the
good
successe
of
the
valiant
Gréekes
,
and
yet
much
wondred
at
the
litle
reason
the
Nyquean
Souldan
,
had
not
to
accept
as
his
sonne
in
law
(
whom
Darius
would
not
haue
refused
)
the
famous
Britaine
Rosabell
,
Competitor
with
Mars
himselfe
in
armes
:
and
for
state
and
royaltie
,
equall
to
the
Gréeke
Macedonian
Alexander
.
Of
these
&
such
like
matters
did
the
two
Gréeke
warriors
discourse
,
admirnig
to
behold
,
with
what
swiftnesse
their
barke
cut
through
the
swelling
waues
.
And
to
sée
whether
they
could
discern
any
Hauen
or
Arbor
,
not
long
after
they
descried
one
,
the
fayrest
and
safest
that
they
euer
sawe
,
the
which
Claridiano
ouerioyed
thereat
,
tolde
his
vnckle
it
was
the
famous
Port
of
Rotta
,
thrée
myles
from
the
renowned
Cittie
of
Rome
,
whereat
they
desired
to
land
,
because
they
wished
to
sée
a
place
so
glorious
as
that
.
Theyr
will
was
quickly
accomplished
,
for
the
Barke
with
incredible
Vellocitie
came
a
shore
in
the
same
Hauen
,
where
the
Princes
imagined
they
were
to
abide
:
whereupon
landing
and
mounting
on
theyr
Horses
,
they
tooke
theyr
best
way
to
Rome
,
which
Claridiano
partly
knew
,
hauing
before
bene
there
.
And
crossing
a
great
wood
,
they
came
into
a
fayre
playne
all
dyaperd
with
Floras
fragrant
Tapestry
,
ouer
which
an
Imperious
Castle
séemed
to
commaund
:
whose
loftie
heigth
and
toplesse
Pyramedes
,
controwled
the
starry
Firmament
.
In
middest
thereof
,
stood
an
Alabaster
Tower
,
fiue
wayes
squared
,
the
workemanship
thereof
,
greatnesse
and
altitude
,
amazed
the
Princes
.
At
euery
edge
of
the
square
,
it
had
thrée
Bulwarkes
of
finest
Iasper
,
so
that
the
middle
Tower
was
incompassed
with
fiftéen
Bulwarkes
.
Round
about
,
it
was
Moted
,
with
a
broad
déepe
Ditch
,
ouer
which
,
fel
a
draw
Bridge
,
to
passe
it
:
at
the
farthest
ende
thereof
,
there
stood
a
mightie
big
Christal
Piller
,
on
which
hung
by
Chaines
of
gold
,
fiue
rich
Hornes
,
a
litle
beneath
,
a
Table
with
Letters
,
that
yéelded
such
splendor
,
as
they
almost
depriued
the
beholders
sight
.
Greatly
did
the
Prince
wonder
at
the
straunge
rich
Edefice
,
and
so
Claramant
said
.
Truly
(
most
excellent
Prince
)
this
séemes
to
be
a
most
gallant
aduenture
,
if
we
may
iudge
it
by
the
strong
fortefied
bignesse
of
the
Castle
,
Tower
,
and
Bulwarkes
,
whose
like
,
mine
eyes
til
now
did
neuer
yet
behold
:
nor
is
it
possible
they
should
againe
see
such
another
.
And
therefore
I
much
desire
to
reade
the
Letters
of
the
Table
,
if
you
so
thinke
it
good
,
to
be
certified
therof
,
for
least
I
be
deceiued
,
this
should
be
some
Inchauntment
:
and
if
it
be
,
of
no
smal
estéeme
should
the
person
inchaunted
be
of
.
Answere
would
Claridiano
,
when
through
the
aire
they
heard
a
hideous
noyse
,
by
the
rising
of
a
sudden
whirlewind
,
with
such
horror
,
that
it
séemed
to
leade
a
Legion
of
diuels
after
it
,
leauing
the
way
desolate
by
which
it
past
,
renting
by
the
rootes
all
the
pines
,
oakes
and
elmes
it
met
.
This
sight
confounded
the
Princes
,
who
looking
to
sée
the
ende
,
they
sawe
a
blacke
fogge
rise
ouer
the
ditch
,
whose
obscure
aspect
,
depriued
Tytan
of
his
bright
rayes
:
but
a
litle
after
,
the
Welkin
cleared
,
and
Apollo
being
restored
to
his
former
light
,
they
discerned
the
Bridge
raised
aboue
ten
faddome
high
,
hindering
the
passage
ouer
:
and
on
this
side
,
there
was
placed
an
other
Piller
,
but
of
Brasse
,
with
an
inscription
of
Emerald
Letters
,
that
signified
the
aduenture
.
Not
speaking
one
to
another
,
they
went
to
the
Piller
,
and
hauing
learned
all
maner
of
languages
,
they
could
reade
this
in
the
Germane
tongue
thus
.
Let
none
,
(
though
Mars
in
Armes
)
be
so
daring
as
to
pretend
the
libertie
of
Roselia
,
vnlesse
they
be
fiue
Warriors
,
whose
famous
deeds
haue
through
the
world
extended
their
eternall
glorie
:
for
till
they
shall
be
togither
in
this
Forrest
,
the
passage
ouer
the
Moate
shall
be
graunted
to
none
.
Whereupon
Claridiano
tooke
occasion
thus
to
speake
vnto
his
vnckle
.
I
thinke
(
heroicke
Prince
)
it
is
in
vaine
for
vs
to
offer
to
proue
the
aduenture
,
séeing
the
words
say
,
there
should
bee
fiue
that
must
doo
it
togither
.
Oh
how
should
I
reioyce
,
were
we
now
accompanied
with
the
strength
of
Paganisme
,
Brauorant
,
Bembo
,
and
Brufaldoro
,
that
we
might
vndertake
this
enterprise
:
but
séeing
the
wise
men
haue
thus
ordered
it
,
let
vs
if
you
please
,
go
vnto
the
populous
Cittie
of
Rome
,
where
you
shall
sée
such
antiquities
,
that
without
admyration
you
cannot
behold
.
Be
it
as
you
haue
said
(
mightie
Lord
)
replied
Claramant
,
for
I
wil
in
all
things
obey
you
.
As
these
famous
Princes
of
Greece
were
about
to
tread
the
next
way
to
the
Cittie
,
they
heard
a
great
noyse
towards
the
sea
coast
,
as
if
many
knights
were
in
battle
togither
,
whose
horror
of
vncontrowled
blowes
,
was
no
lesse
then
that
of
Vulcans
Aetnean
worke-house
.
Slow
were
not
they
that
were
borne
to
fight
,
in
pricking
their
swift
stéeds
thitherward
:
and
hauing
crost
the
Forrest
hard
by
the
shore
in
a
fayre
plaine
,
they
sawe
two
sturdie
knights
in
Combat
one
against
the
other
.
A
third
of
no
lesse
gallantnesse
mounted
,
and
leaning
on
his
speare
,
beheld
them
.
To
him
went
Mars
his
Competitors
,
and
after
due
courtesie
,
Claramant
thus
said
.
You
shall
not
a
little
fauour
vs
Sir
knight
,
to
let
vs
know
the
cause
of
so
terrible
fight
,
which
in
mine
opinion
,
will
not
cost
lesse
,
then
eythers
life
,
with
such
furie
they
prosecute
it
.
So
much
haue
your
kinde
words
bound
me
,
(
Sir
knight
answered
hee
)
that
I
cannot
in
honour
denie
to
satisfie
all
your
demaund
.
Know
therefore
,
that
you
bigge
knight
in
Russet
armor
,
is
called
Brauorant
,
one
of
the
strongest
that
this
day
breathes
:
who
hauing
taken
part
with
the
Souldan
of
Nyquea
,
in
his
last
expedition
against
Grecia
,
where
he
lost
most
of
his
ships
and
men
in
the
Nauall
battell
,
as
no
doubt
you
haue
heard
:
this
knight
left
him
of
purpose
,
to
sayle
vnto
his
kingdome
,
to
assemble
new
powers
against
the
Gréekes
on
the
Souldans
behalfe
,
hauing
sworne
vtterly
to
distroy
them
.
And
I
,
Don
Celindo
by
name
,
desirous
to
sée
the
high
déedes
of
this
most
famous
warrier
,
did
offer
my selfe
to
associate
him
,
which
hee
refused
not
.
So
to
morrowe
will
bee
eight
dayes
,
wee
departed
from
the
Souldans
Fléete
,
in
a
well
rigged
shippe
.
Long
sayled
we
not
with
prosperous
weather
,
but
were
by
a
cruell
storme
cast
on
this
shore
:
where
finding
this
Knight
,
the
valiantest
(
as
his
fame
memorateth
)
that
euer
the
spacious
worlde
hath
known
,
we
knew
him
straight
to
bee
the
Emperour
Alphebo
of
Trebizond
(
for
treacherous
Lupersio
had
conducted
him
thither
to
end
his
desire
.
)
Whom
Brauorant
knowing
to
haue
beene
on
the
Grecians
side
,
and
remembring
the
waight
of
his
cruel
blowes
,
did
on
the
instant
challenge
him
:
and
for
this
slight
occasion
,
they
so
batter
and
mangle
one
an
others
Armor
and
flesh
.
No
longer
stayed
Claridiano
,
but
vnderstanding
that
knight
to
bee
his
father
,
drew
forth
his
sworde
and
stepped
betwéene
them
,
with
these
words
.
Withholde
braue
Knights
,
for
so
fierce
a
quarrell
is
not
lawfull
on
so
small
occasion
,
since
the
losse
of
eyther
wil
be
a
noted
want
vnto
the
world
.
Whereat
the
courteous
Emperor
leauing
,
replied
.
In
faith
(
braue
Knight
)
were
it
but
onely
in
respect
of
your
gentle
spéech
,
I
would
haue
done
it
:
how
much
the
more
,
when
I
winne
thereby
,
wanting
an
equall
estimation
with
this
knights
valour
.
How
milde
the
Pagan
was
,
being
mildly
,
vsed
,
&
how
tractable
is
alreadie
exprest
:
who
now
hearing
his
aduersaries
gentle
words
,
did
accordingly
make
his
answer
to
the
Emperor
.
So
greatly
haue
your
frendly
words
inchayned
me
to
your
obeysance
(
most
mightie
Lord
)
that
thogh
this
knight
had
not
requested
it
,
I
would
haue
desisted
from
the
combat
,
especially
,
it
being
my
aduantage
,
considering
how
Fame
throgh
euerie
mouth
blazoneth
your
woorth
,
and
my
vnwoorthinesse
.
As
Claridianas
Lord
would
haue
aunswered
,
Claramant
intercepted
him
thus
.
If
(
most
valiant
knights
)
the
greatest
part
of
your
rigorous
battel
,
hath
béene
to
manifest
vnto
the
world
the
rarenesse
of
your
vnmatched
strength
,
wherewith
the
heauens
hath
armed
you
,
then
go
with
vs
,
where
there
is
occasion
offered
,
whereon
you
may
more
securely
imploy
your
redoubted
valors
in
lawful
attempts
of
brauest
armes
,
which
may
be
vndertaken
with
more
sufficient
reasons
,
then
you
began
this
your
slender
quarrell
.
For
know
,
that
at
the
end
of
this
Forrest
,
in
the
middest
of
a
faire
plaine
,
we
found
a
Fortresse
,
which
we
iudge
to
bee
the
strongest
on
the
earth
,
and
reading
certaine
letters
insculped
in
a
Table
,
we
perceiued
it
to
be
the
inchauntment
of
the
Princesse
Roselia
,
daughter
to
the
Emperor
of
this
land
:
and
more
,
that
none
but
fiue
knights
togither
,
whose
fame
the
world
should
report
to
be
admirable
,
should
prooue
the
aduenture
.
Wherefore
since
you
be
they
(
according
to
the
conditions
required
)
it
were
vniust
we
should
neglect
the
libertie
of
so
great
a
Princesse
.
And
although
my
companions
merits
and
mine
owne
,
be
not
in
the
least
degrée
,
such
as
the
aduenture
challengeth
,
it
shal
satisfie
vs
to
march
vnder
the
shadow
of
such
woorthies
,
to
end
a
more
harder
enterprise
.
Whereto
Alphebo
replied
.
I
am
content
to
offer
my
person
to
the
proofe
,
although
in
me
there
bée
nothing
meriting
your
praise
:
but
the
controuersie
had
with
this
knight
,
hath
béen
ynough
to
teach
mee
to
imitate
his
valor
.
I
,
&
to
haue
stolne
some
part
thereof
from
him
to
incourage
me
to
this
attempt
.
It
shall
not
be
left
for
me
,
(
said
Don
Celindo
)
for
in
the
company
of
such
knights
,
the
hardest
is
the
easiest
to
be
atchiued
.
Then
Brauorant
,
it
is
not
lawfull
the
libertie
of
so
great
a
Ladie
should
be
remitted
through
my
meanes
,
although
my
fame
nothing
deserues
your
estimation
.
Then
let
vs
no
longer
delay
the
triall
of
so
happie
a
proofe
(
said
Claridiano
:
)
who
presently
spurred
his
swift
Courser
,
leading
the
way
vnto
the
braue
inchauntment
.
Followed
he
was
by
the
flower
of
armes
:
that
altogither
in
short
space
arriued
at
the
déepe
mote
,
where
they
admired
the
greatnesse
and
exquisit
workmanship
of
the
Castle
,
whose
like
they
accorded
the
world
contained
not
:
especially
when
Alphebo
saide
,
it
excelled
that
of
Lindaraza
,
where
he
disinchanted
his
father
,
as
in
the
first
of
the
first
part
of
this
great
Historie
.
No
sooner
were
these
valiant
warriors
arriued
,
when
the
draw-bridge
(
that
yet
stood
on
high
)
was
let
downe
,
which
hauing
past
,
they
stept
to
the
Piller
whereon
the
hornes
hung
.
The
ingrauen
scrowle
of
the
Table
they
thus
read
.
When
the
fiue
warriours
the
aduenture
doth
require
,
shall
bee
here
togither
,
if
they
be
of
such
daring
hearts
,
as
to
prooue
it
,
let
each
of
them
hang
one
of
these
hornes
about
his
necke
,
and
winding
them
,
the
Castle
gates
shall
be
opened
,
and
they
may
enter
.
In
performance
thereof
,
these
mightie
Princes
were
nothing
slow
,
but
euery
one
louingly
imbraced
one
another
,
they
each
of
them
presented
themselues
before
either
of
the
Castles
,
whose
gates
presently
flew
open
at
the
shrill
founding
of
the
hornes
,
the
eccho
whereof
,
was
also
heard
within
the
Citie
of
Rome
.
Throgh
the
doore
that
befel
vnto
the
inuincible
Alphebo
,
issued
a
deformed
vgly
big
Gyant
,
mounted
on
a
lustie
Courser
,
with
a
strong
knottie
lance
in
his
hand
,
hauing
a
pike
of
well
tempered
stéele
,
aboue
two
handfuls
in
length
.
Him
Alphebo
receiued
with
the
swiftest
running
of
his
horse
,
the
like
did
the
Gyant
,
with
such
furie
as
the
earth
could
scarce
beare
them
.
They
met
so
strongly
,
that
the
gyants
big
lance
flew
in
péeces
,
against
the
inpenetrable
shield
of
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
whose
shiuers
hissing
through
the
ayre
,
mounted
higher
then
the
proude
toppe
of
the
inchantment
.
The
Gyants
mightie
speare
was
not
of
strength
to
pearce
Alphebos
thield
,
the
which
was
resisted
by
the
magicke
spelles
wherewith
Lyrgandeo
had
forged
it
:
yet
was
hee
cast
backwards
ouer
his
saddle
bowe
,
loosing
the
raines
out
of
his
hand
.
I
know
not
to
what
I
shall
compare
the
Emperour
of
Trebezounds
incounter
:
for
hitting
the
gyant
in
middest
of
his
shield
,
he
pearced
it
,
togither
with
the
plates
of
stéele
,
and
priuie
coate
,
whose
inchaunted
power
vnable
to
defend
the
lance
guided
by
so
braue
an
arme
,
he
ran
it
through
his
left
side
,
mortally
wounding
him
directly
on
his
heart
,
against
which
the
strong
speare
bending
,
he
broke
it
,
and
leauing
a
péece
in
the
wound
,
the
rest
flew
into
the
middle
region
of
the
ayre
.
So
passing
forward
,
they
met
with
such
a
shocke
,
that
it
deserues
eternall
memorie
:
for
as
the
two
warriors
,
incountred
shield
against
shield
,
and
bodie
with
bodie
,
the
haughtie
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
first
ranne
against
the
Gyant
vpon
the
speares
trunchion
,
which
hee
so
vehemently
thrust
through
his
bodie
,
that
it
cleft
into
his
miserable
heart
:
yet
he
scapt
not
so
frée
,
but
felt
himselfe
so
brused
on
his
Corneryno
,
that
the
poore
horse
was
driuen
to
strike
his
buttockes
on
the
ground
,
along
whose
backe
his
Maister
fel
,
in
such
amazement
,
that
he
knew
not
whether
he
was
in
heauen
or
on
earth
.
But
recouering
himself
,
and
iudging
it
cowardise
,
he
set
spurres
vnto
his
horse
,
which
made
him
fetch
light
carreirs
vppon
the
ground
.
And
looking
after
his
aduersarie
,
he
sawe
him
lie
vpon
the
earth
,
voyding
his
blood
as
through
a
riuer
:
by
him
lay
his
horse
with
his
shoulder
broken
,
and
both
at
one
instant
accompanied
each
other
in
death
.
A
little
reioyced
not
the
courteous
Emperor
at
his
spéedie
good
successe
,
and
after
his
due
thankes
to
God
for
his
victorie
,
would
not
procéede
vntill
the
end
of
Brouorants
battell
,
whom
hee
iudged
one
of
the
best
knights
of
the
world
,
wherein
hee
nothing
deceiued
himselfe
.
Who
hauing
sounded
the
rich
horne
,
whereat
the
Gates
burst
open
,
whence
came
foorth
a
well
proportioned
Gyant
,
both
brauely
mounted
and
clad
in
defensiue
armes
,
with
a
huge
mace
of
seldséene
greatnesse
in
his
hands
.
Against
him
made
Bramarants
sonne
,
brandishing
his
launce
aboue
his
head
:
so
did
the
Gyant
with
his
mace
:
but
in
the
méeting
,
Campeons
Nephew
mist
his
incounter
,
running
his
speare
through
the
head
of
his
aduersaries
horse
,
who
as
Brauarant
past
by
him
,
discharging
his
mace
with
such
strength
in
the
middest
of
his
shield
,
the
which
(
though
inchanted
)
it
battered
and
descended
to
his
helm
:
where
it
fell
so
heauily
,
that
maugre
his
courage
,
it
made
him
bend
his
head
below
his
brest
,
and
voyde
much
blood
.
There
is
no
Lyon
crueller
,
nor
chafed
Bull
more
furious
then
is
now
the
inuincible
Scythian
:
for
hauing
wel
recouered
his
seat
,
&
drawing
foorth
his
slycing
blade
,
with
more
fiercenesse
then
a
thunderbolte
,
hée
looked
for
his
enemie
,
whom
he
saw
on
féet
,
with
his
mace
aloft
.
Against
him
hee
went
,
but
first
brauely
leapt
from
his
horse
,
and
griping
his
sword
strongly
twixt
his
hands
,
he
neglected
to
watch
his
aduantage
,
but
let
flie
at
the
Gyant
:
so
did
he
,
and
at
once
executed
two
blowes
woorthie
such
warriors
.
Venturous
was
the
Gyants
blowe
,
for
lighting
on
his
enemies
helme
,
although
it
could
not
breake
the
inchantment
,
it
forced
him
to
tumble
headlong
on
the
paued
floore
,
where
hee
thought
he
sawe
the
twinckling
of
more
starres
then
is
in
the
firmament
.
The
Gyant
had
no
time
to
vaunt
of
his
victorious
blow
,
for
with
another
nothing
inferior
,
his
shield
was
cut
in
two
,
through
which
the
sword
descended
to
his
helme
,
cutting
away
all
the
one
side
thereof
,
with
all
the
top
,
the
which
had
it
fell
right
,
his
head
had
béene
cleft
in
the
middest
:
yet
fell
he
to
the
ground
on
his
hands
,
amazed
with
the
stroke
.
The
haughtie
Emperor
not
a
litle
admired
the
strength
of
the
combattants
,
much
estéeming
the
Gyant
,
considering
Brauorants
disgrace
:
whom
he
animated
,
(
though
néedlesse
)
with
these
words
.
Courage
braue
warrior
,
for
there
is
much
to
doo
:
but
making
the
world
knowe
the
vtmost
of
your
singular
valor
,
with
it
we
shall
easily
liberate
the
Princesse
Roselia
.
Though
almost
choked
with
chollor
,
and
blaspheming
against
himselfe
,
(
for
no
God
he
confest
)
hee
turned
his
head
at
those
words
,
and
séeing
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
not
fighting
,
because
he
had
alreadie
killed
the
gyant
,
there
is
no
tongue
able
to
explicate
the
furie
that
entred
the
fierce
Pagans
breast
,
supposing
that
knight
excelled
him
,
when
he
would
not
acknowledge
Mars
any
superioritie
.
And
accounting
it
base
fearfulnesse
to
let
a
single
combat
indure
to
the
third
blowe
,
foming
through
the
mouth
,
he
raised
his
sword
and
went
against
the
Gyant
,
that
was
alreadie
vp
:
who
well
noted
with
what
furie
he
came
,
and
trusting
to
his
Mace
,
crost
it
ouerhead
,
whereon
fell
the
strongest
blow
bestowed
in
his
time
.
For
being
possest
with
the
vtmost
of
extreamest
rage
,
&
Brauorants
son
desirous
to
make
known
the
might
of
his
arme
,
hee
discharged
on
him
a
fierce
stroke
worthie
his
valor
)
which
falling
on
the
mace
,
(
whose
inchauntment
being
of
no
force
)
it
cut
it
like
as
it
were
of
wood
,
and
sliding
to
the
shoulder
,
where
his
armor
was
not
able
to
resist
the
sharpnes
of
the
sword
,
(
guided
by
the
strongest
arme
that
euer
the
Gyantiue
nation
knewe
)
it
sliced
him
in
the
middest
,
diuiding
the
brutish
bodie
in
two
parts
:
which
déede
the
Knight
of
the
Sunne
so
admired
,
as
he
iudged
him
to
be
sonne
to
such
a
father
.
Litle
had
the
fierce
Pagan
thought
he
had
done
,
wherevpon
like
an
infernall
furie
he
entred
the
gate
.
All
this
while
was
not
the
Heroicke
Claridiano
ydle
,
for
in
the
opening
of
the
Portall
,
at
the
shrilnesse
of
the
horne
,
there
issued
foorth
a
mightie
Centaure
,
with
a
big
dart
in
his
right
hand
,
and
in
the
other
a
chaine
,
by
which
he
ledde
a
cruell
Lyon
.
This
sight
daunted
not
the
second
Mars
,
but
swifter
then
a
Roe
he
prickt
against
the
Centaure
,
that
expected
him
,
brandishing
his
stéely
dart
,
the
which
,
ere
the
prince
came
neare
him
,
hee
flung
at
him
with
all
the
strength
of
his
arme
,
it
ranne
through
the
shield
,
and
wounded
him
a
little
on
the
breast
,
pearcing
his
armor
,
whose
inchauntment
could
not
withstand
the
sharpenesse
of
the
speare
.
The
Prince
hit
the
Centaure
in
the
middest
of
his
breast
with
such
puissance
,
that
had
not
his
plates
of
fine
tempered
stéele
,
(
wherewith
he
was
armed
)
defended
him
,
he
had
béene
then
slaine
,
yet
he
so
thrust
him
backe
,
that
staggering
vp
and
downe
,
hee
fell
on
the
ground
,
at
such
time
as
his
horse
past
on
,
which
stumbling
on
the
Centaure
,
fel
shrewdly
on
the
earth
,
where
it
had
cost
Claridiano
no
lesse
then
the
price
of
his
life
,
had
he
not
vsed
his
dexteritie
,
wherewith
hee
leapt
at
one
side
from
off
his
back
before
hee
fell
,
the
which
scarcely
touched
the
ground
,
when
the
cruell
Lyon
with
his
pawes
seyzed
on
him
,
and
rent
him
asunder
péece
by
péece
,
which
much
auailed
for
the
Princes
victorie
,
for
whilest
the
Lyon
deuoured
the
horse
,
he
discharged
at
his
pleasure
the
waight
of
his
armes
vpon
his
head
,
of
the
which
,
as
much
as
the
murthering
sword
did
take
,
was
cut
away
:
yet
the
blowe
was
not
sufficient
to
kil
him
outright
,
but
rather
roring
amaine
,
it
forced
him
leaue
his
pray
to
flie
at
Claridiano
,
closing
with
him
so
spéedily
,
that
he
could
not
shunne
him
,
but
with
his
sharpe
clawes
helde
him
so
hard
,
that
hee
crusht
his
crimson
blood
through
his
armor
,
gryping
him
closer
then
doth
the
little
Remora
cleaue
to
the
kéele
of
any
shippe
,
to
hinder
her
swift
course
.
In
great
anguish
of
minde
was
the
warlike
Gréeke
all
this
while
,
féeling
himselfe
so
fast
bound
betwéene
the
Lyons
fangs
,
and
séeing
the
Centaure
come
against
him
with
a
heauie
naked
sword
.
No
remedie
found
Mars
his
Competitor
,
but
to
draw
his
dagger
,
and
stabbing
it
into
his
bellie
,
forced
the
Lyon
with
the
pangs
of
death
to
leaue
him
,
the
which
méeting
with
the
Centaure
,
not
knowing
what
it
did
,
catcht
at
his
brest
,
which
with
his
clawes
he
rent
,
letting
foorth
riuers
of
blood
through
his
mortal
wound
.
Whereat
the
fierce
Centau●●
forsaking
the
Prince
,
raised
his
blade
on
high
,
and
with
it
diuided
the
Lyon
in
two
.
Which
done
,
trailing
the
one
halfe
with
him
,
he
marched
towards
Claridiano
,
who
wondring
at
the
sight
,
did
so
too
,
and
on
his
shield
tooke
the
beasts
blowe
,
which
he
requited
with
a
poynt
that
he
thrust
at
him
,
which
penetrating
his
plates
of
stéele
,
wounded
him
to
the
death
.
Roaring
like
a
Bull
,
the
Infernal
Monster
towred
his
sword
aloft
,
which
when
he
would
descend
,
he
was
staied
in
the
midst
of
his
course
,
by
the
remorcelesse
stroke
of
death
:
whereat
he
fel
downe
,
at
the
time
that
Claridiano
thanked
his
God
for
the
victorie
.
And
imagining
his
companions
were
afore
him
,
he
past
on
through
the
gate
.
No
lesse
fierce
was
Claramants
renowned
battle
,
for
in
the
end
of
the
hornes
shril
sound
,
there
appeared
a
wel
disposed
knight
,
richly
armed
and
mounted
,
bearing
a
Launce
in
his
hand
,
and
a
big
Cemitor
at
his
saddle
bow
.
Our
new
Mars
nothing
feared
him
,
but
spurred
his
horse
against
him
,
and
méeting
in
middle
of
their
course
,
their
shiuered
launces
flew
into
the
ayre
,
giuing
place
vnto
the
furious
shocke
of
their
bodies
.
Trebatios
sonne
was
faine
to
get
about
his
horse
neck
,
for
feare
of
falling
,
hauing
almost
lost
his
bridle
:
but
recouering
his
seat
,
he
spyed
his
aduersarie
lie
on
the
ground
,
groueling
vnder
his
horse
,
striuing
to
get
from
it
.
Courteous
was
Claramant
,
and
so
alighted
to
helpe
his
enemie
,
which
kindnesse
he
had
like
to
haue
dearly
bought
,
for
through
the
gate
that
the
knight
issued
foorth
,
flew
out
a
hideous
terrible
Griffon
,
who
suddainly
surprising
the
Prince
,
clasped
his
bodie
about
,
and
with
his
sharpe
tallents
crushed
his
armor
within
his
flesh
,
and
vehemently
fluttring
his
wings
aloft
,
raised
him
a
litle
,
purposing
to
haue
mounted
on
high
,
and
then
to
let
him
fall
,
and
beate
him
in
péeces
against
the
stones
.
It
happened
not
as
the
beast
intended
:
for
the
Prince
noting
how
treacherously
he
had
béene
assayled
,
and
féeling
his
flesh
brused
in
many
places
,
and
his
armor
with
his
owne
blood
bedewed
,
stretcht
foorth
his
armes
on
high
,
more
inraged
then
an
angred
Tyger
,
and
getting
hold
by
his
wings
,
pluckt
him
downe
,
making
him
loose
his
pretended
flight
,
and
so
both
fell
on
the
ground
.
And
the
haughtie
Gréeke
being
of
great
force
,
turned
vppon
him
,
where
refusing
to
vse
any
of
his
weapons
,
being
extreame
wrathfull
,
hee
seized
on
either
wing
,
which
with
the
vtmost
of
his
strength
,
hee
pluckt
away
by
the
rootes
,
leauing
the
truncke
without
motion
,
voyding
inuenombde
gore
from
the
wounds
.
Hee
performed
not
this
so
safely
,
but
he
had
his
helme
cleft
in
two
,
&
a
small
wound
on
the
head
,
the
which
the
vgly
beast
had
done
with
his
inchanted
bill
,
whose
death
preuented
his
further
daunger
.
By
this
was
the
knight
recouered
,
and
with
his
shield
and
sword
marched
against
the
Prince
,
but
what
auales
it
:
for
Bryanas
sonne
being
swelled
with
wrath
,
tarried
for
him
,
with
his
axe
,
who
directed
a
blowe
towards
the
disarmed
part
of
his
head
.
The
angrie
Prince
would
not
receiue
it
,
because
he
would
not
indanger
his
life
,
but
leaping
at
one
side
,
gaue
place
vnto
his
enemies
blowes
,
whose
sword
ranne
almost
to
the
middest
into
the
ground
,
and
he
himselfe
followed
it
.
The
occasion
would
not
Claramant
forgo
,
but
like
a
Fawlcon
at
his
pray
,
stept
to
him
,
and
with
his
axe
strooke
him
to
the
earth
,
where
hée
tumbled
vp
and
downe
.
So
Claramant
desirous
to
make
an
ende
,
closed
with
him
.
But
the
knight
with
the
feare
of
death
pluckt
him
vppon
himselfe
by
the
skirt
of
his
armor
,
making
him
loose
his
blowe
,
and
casting
his
armes
about
him
,
thought
to
get
some
ground
of
him
:
but
the
vnhappie
knight
missing
his
purpose
,
the
gallant
Prince
helde
him
fast
,
and
setting
one
knée
vpon
his
breast
,
with
his
dagger
opened
a
passage
through
it
for
his
hatefull
life
,
sending
him
to
bee
wasted
ouer
the
infernall
poole
,
by
the
blacke
Ferry-man
of
hell
.
Thankes
did
hée
render
to
the
god
of
his
father
for
the
victorie
,
and
without
further
stay
,
as
he
would
passe
on
,
he
heard
a
great
crie
,
and
turning
his
head
,
hée
sawe
it
was
a
Gyant
dragd
about
the
féeles
by
his
horse
,
with
one
leg
hanging
in
his
stirrope
.
The
cause
was
,
that
Don
Celindo
hauing
winded
his
horne
,
and
his
Castle
opening
,
that
Gyant
on
a
mightie
Courser
issued
foorth
.
Agaifist
him
went
Alicandros
Nephew
,
but
bing
ouer
eager
,
mist
his
incounter
,
and
was
by
the
Gyant
strooke
along
his
horse
backe
.
Either
past
by
the
other
brauely
set
in
his
seate
,
where
drawing
their
strong
swords
,
they
laide
such
loade
vppon
their
battered
crests
,
renting
their
armor
,
and
mangling
their
flesh
,
vntill
the
Gyant
slipt
his
bodie
aside
,
to
auoyde
a
blowe
that
Don
Celindo
let
flie
at
him
,
reentring
with
a
strong
poynt
with
all
his
strength
.
This
offer
of
the
Gyants
got
him
no
lesse
then
the
victorie
:
for
the
inhumane
wretch
mist
his
thrust
,
and
running
the
sword
betwéen
his
armes
,
it
slid
down
the
armor
,
bringing
the
Gyants
head
vpon
Don
Celindos
horse
neck
,
inclining
it
downwards
,
who
séeing
him
so
neare
,
and
not
omitting
so
good
opportunitie
,
strooke
him
on
the
helme
with
his
sword
hilts
,
ouerbearing
him
on
that
side
he
most
declined
,
which
was
the
occasion
of
his
fall
from
his
horse
,
and
thinking
to
haue
stayed
himselfe
,
thrust
one
leg
so
farre
into
the
stirrope
,
that
when
he
would
,
he
could
not
draw
it
foorth
:
whereat
the
Gyant
noting
his
disgrace
,
drew
his
dagger
,
minding
to
cut
it
,
but
so
vnfortunate
he
was
,
that
somewhat
annoyed
with
the
former
blow
,
he
mortally
wounded
his
horse
bellie
with
the
stroke
,
the
which
féeling
it
,
with
extreame
pangs
of
death
,
fetching
a
Carreir
,
ranne
about
the
field
dragging
his
maister
after
him
,
where
both
ended
at
once
,
leauing
Celindo
thanking
Fortune
and
his
Gods
for
his
good
successe
.
Through
the
gates
of
those
Towers
that
befel
them
,
entred
he
&
Claramant
,
and
yet
not
with
such
hast
as
Claridianas
Lord
,
that
hauing
séene
Brauorants
good
hap
,
no
longer
delaying
the
time
,
fearing
to
be
out
gone
,
he
past
on
til
he
came
to
a
large
yard
of
strange
worke
.
And
round
about
it
,
there
was
a
Gallery
supported
with
twentie
pillers
of
cleare
Christall
.
In
the
midst
of
it
,
stood
a
faire
Fountaine
,
distilling
water
through
diuers
pipes
,
incompassed
with
Rose
Trées
,
and
other
Odoriferous
flowers
.
On
the
top
of
the
Fount
,
there
was
a
rich
and
precious
Armor
of
inestimable
value
,
lying
vppon
a
Table
of
siluer
,
with
twelue
féete
of
gold
,
whereat
hung
a
braue
sword
.
At
the
entrance
to
the
yard
,
stood
a
reasonable
Piller
of
Brasse
,
wheron
was
written
certaine
words
with
Letters
of
Rubies
.
No
further
would
Trebatios
eldest
sonne
passe
,
til
he
had
read
the
scrowle
,
containing
thus
.
What
Knight
soeuer
would
ende
the
Aduenture
,
it
behooues
him
ere
he
passe
farther
,
to
win
these
Armes
,
for
considering
the
keepers
,
he
shall
haue
need
of
them
:
But
if
his
courage
failes
to
do
it
,
let
him
go
on
,
for
the
passage
is
free
.
So
great
pleasure
and
liking
he
conceiued
of
the
armor
,
that
although
he
had
not
intended
to
prosecute
the
aduenture
,
hee
would
haue
spent
a
thousand
liues
to
obtaine
them
,
such
was
his
valour
.
Then
couering
himselfe
with
his
shield
,
and
vnsheathing
his
sword
,
hee
entered
the
yarde
,
and
going
towards
the
Fountaine
,
he
saw
it
guarded
with
so
horrible
a
Serpent
,
able
to
affray
any
but
Alphebo
.
Shee
was
of
a
speares
length
,
and
a
brace
in
breadth
.
Foure
feete
she
had
,
and
two
armes
,
armed
with
nayles
of
stéele
,
a
handfull
long
:
and
téeth
too
of
that
kinde
.
Of
these
Serpents
,
do
ancient
writers
make
mention
,
to
be
dull
,
heauie
,
and
drowsie
:
insomuch
,
that
no
small
noise
will
easily
awaken
them
.
A
while
stood
the
Emperor
still
,
to
sée
if
she
would
rise
:
but
noting
her
slouthfull
sléepe
,
he
went
more
neare
her
,
greatly
wondring
at
her
horred
fiercenesse
,
misdoubting
humane
strength
against
so
terrible
a
monster
.
But
his
heroicke
brest
,
beeing
vnacquainted
with
any
feare
,
recommended
his
safetie
to
the
supreme
King
of
Kings
,
and
with
his
sword
strooke
the
vgly
beast
on
her
defensiue
scales
,
whereat
,
with
hellish
horror
she
awaked
.
Against
her
went
he
when
she
being
on
her
féete
,
with
her
scaly
tayle
,
she
strooke
him
so
fierce
a
blowe
on
his
body
,
that
the
Gréeke
staggering
,
had
like
to
haue
fallen
,
but
that
his
backe
stumbled
at
the
Piller
,
where
he
stayed
.
This
much
inraged
the
Emperor
,
who
like
a
Bazeliske
awaighted
her
,
he
auoiding
an
other
stroke
wherewith
she
approached
him
,
and
then
he
discharged
his
blade
in
all
possible
haste
,
vpon
her
ribbes
:
but
it
happened
not
as
he
thought
,
for
the
sword
rebounded
backe
,
vnable
to
batter
her
scales
,
at
whose
strength
he
much
wondred
:
and
being
about
to
second
a
poynt
,
shee
entered
vpon
him
:
raising
aloft
her
armes
.
Carelesse
was
not
the
warrior
,
and
misliking
her
embracements
,
wreathed
aside
his
body
,
and
as
she
would
haue
closed
,
he
turned
his
sword
,
and
therewith
cut
away
her
hinder
legges
,
making
her
fall
flat
on
her
buttockes
,
howling
at
the
paine
of
her
wound
.
And
lifting
vp
her
truncke
on
her
armes
,
swoong
about
her
tayle
,
and
hitting
him
on
the
shoulders
,
she
felde
him
on
his
handes
,
and
as
hee
rose
,
got
holde
of
his
Armour
with
her
nailes
,
and
(
furious
with
paine
)
rent
away
halfe
of
his
armor
,
and
had
not
he
bene
warie
to
looke
to
himselfe
,
with
her
téeth
shée
had
made
an
ende
of
him
.
But
he
séeing
halfe
his
body
disarmed
,
and
fearing
a
disastrous
death
,
shooke
himselfe
from
her
,
hauing
two
péeces
of
his
armor
sticking
in
her
iawes
,
imbrued
in
his
purple
blood
,
that
issued
from
the
wounds
she
had
made
him
.
There
is
no
furie
of
Hyrcania
,
like
to
Claridianas
Louer
,
séeing
the
yarde
besprinckled
with
his
blood
,
and
himselfe
vnarmed
:
that
taking
his
sword
in
both
hands
,
on
the
Serpents
backe
,
he
executed
the
brauest
blowe
that
euer
knight
performed
:
for
happening
in
the
middest
of
her
body
,
and
the
strong
scales
vnable
to
resist
the
sharpesse
of
the
blade
,
guided
by
the
best
arme
in
the
world
,
she
was
parted
in
two
,
and
the
gates
of
her
life
opened
to
entertaine
the
fréezing
ayre
of
colde
death
.
Infinit
deserued
thankes
rendered
the
Gréek
to
his
Creator
for
the
victorie
:
and
taking
off
his
torne
Armour
,
hee
went
to
the
bubling
Fountaine
,
and
being
vexed
with
thirst
,
drunke
of
the
Christaline
water
,
remaining
as
well
and
lustie
,
as
if
he
were
neither
wounded
nor
had
fought
,
blessing
the
water
and
he
that
made
it
.
But
looking
on
the
armes
,
hee
sawe
them
to
bee
the
richest
hee
had
euer
before
séene
.
They
were
of
russet
colour
,
full
of
white
and
redde
stars
,
made
of
Dyamonds
and
Rubies
,
inchained
one
by
an
other
,
with
knots
of
Golde
.
The
shéeld
did
nothing
differ
from
them
.
In
middest
of
it
,
was
the
picture
of
a
Knight
,
naturally
resembling
the
knight
of
the
Sunne
,
when
he
maintained
the
bewtie
of
Lyndabrides
,
vnder
the
tytle
of
the
knight
of
the
Chariot
,
as
the
first
part
of
this
Historie
remembred
.
Hee
was
also
mounted
on
a
horse
,
the
counterfeyt
of
Corneryno
.
The
motto
thus
.
His
power
cannot
be
withstood
,
That
hath
horse
,
armes
,
and
cause
so
good
.
Slowe
was
not
he
to
arme
himselfe
with
these
armes
,
and
hauing
in
mind
the
libertie
of
Roselia
,
like
a
whirle-winde
he
passed
through
a
doore
he
found
in
the
yarde
.
All
this
while
,
the
furious
Brauorant
was
not
:
idle
for
hauing
ended
his
first
battle
,
he
entered
the
gate
from
whence
the
Gyant
came
forth
.
Through
Lymbo
he
thought
he
walked
,
so
excéeding
darke
was
his
way
.
A
great
while
did
he
grope
about
the
wall
on
eyther
side
,
to
find
and
issue
from
that
dwelling
,
vntill
he
found
a
doore
:
the
which
,
althogh
it
was
of
strongest
steele
,
yet
he
quickly
battered
it
with
the
pummell
of
his
sword
.
Forward
he
passed
,
and
in
the
end
,
he
found
himselfe
to
be
at
the
gate
of
a
faire
hall
,
in
middest
whereof
,
there
stoode
the
confused
picture
of
a
mightie
Gyant
,
made
of
Brasse
,
with
a
sword
in
one
hand
,
and
in
the
other
,
a
bigge
shéeld
:
and
as
the
stoute
Scythian
would
enter
in
,
the
Fantasmo
made
against
him
.
No
whit
at
all
was
Cmpeons
nephew
afraid
,
yet
stood
in
great
confusion
,
not
knowing
in
what
maner
to
make
his
battle
.
First
arriued
the
Fantasmo
,
and
with
incredible
force
executed
his
blowe
on
Brauorant
Helme
:
who
hauing
no
shéeld
to
ward
it
,
was
constrained
to
set
his
knées
and
one
hand
to
the
ground
.
A
poynt
was
seconded
with
so
strong
a
thrust
,
that
hitting
him
as
he
was
disordered
,
it
laid
him
along
vpon
his
backe
.
Vpon
him
went
the
Fantasmo
,
yet
mist
of
his
intent
.
For
the
strong
Scythian
did
cast
his
armes
about
his
necke
,
felling
him
to
the
floore
,
and
in
the
fal
,
being
within
his
reach
,
he
gaue
him
such
a
blow
on
the
mishapen
face
with
his
fist
,
that
therewith
he
rowled
him
along
the
ground
:
and
rayfing
himselfe
,
went
against
the
vgly
shape
,
that
being
vp
did
the
like
:
but
hee
auoyding
a
blowe
,
with
a
floorish
on
high
,
he
descended
his
cutting
blade
,
paring
away
some
of
the
shoulder
,
and
halfe
his
arme
.
Which
no
sooner
was
done
,
but
that
part
turned
into
an
vgly
Gyant
,
who
hauing
a
Mace
of
Iron
in
his
hand
,
said
.
Thinke
not
(
fierce
knight
)
thy
strength
able
to
end
the
aduenture
,
for
all
the
vnited
power
of
the
vniuerse
shall
not
frée
thée
from
my
hands
.
Much
amazed
was
the
sterue
sonne
of
Bramarant
,
séeing
the
Gyant
before
him
,
yet
with
most
inuincible
courage
hee
prepared
himselfe
for
the
Combat
,
and
so
comming
towards
him
,
offered
to
strike
at
his
head
,
which
made
him
lift
his
Clubbe
to
defend
it
.
But
Brauorant
withdrawing
backe
his
strong
arme
,
stepped
in
with
his
right
legge
,
and
ranne
at
him
with
a
mightie
thrust
.
It
cut
all
his
Armour
,
and
mortally
wounded
him
on
the
belly
.
Vnrecompenced
went
hee
not
away
:
for
the
Gyant
swaying
his
Mace
about
,
hee
strooke
him
therewith
on
the
breast
,
and
felde
him
to
the
earth
,
but
hee
quickly
rose
,
ready
to
burst
with
rage
,
blaspheming
against
himselfe
,
from
which
passion
he
was
put
,
by
the
approach
of
the
Phantasmo
that
came
to
wound
him
.
But
he
scaping
it
,
would
turne
his
edge
vpon
him
,
but
with
the
backe
of
his
sword
he
strooke
him
on
the
helme
,
that
it
made
him
stagger
a
good
way
from
thence
,
and
then
swifter
then
an
Eagle
,
receiuing
the
Gyants
blow
on
his
blade
,
it
cut
his
Mace
of
Iron
cleane
in
two
.
Which
when
Floralizas
Louer
spied
,
he
closed
with
him
,
and
crossing
his
legges
with
the
others
,
he
brauely
tript
him
downe
,
felling
him
on
his
backe
,
and
then
he
stabde
his
dagger
into
his
brutish
breast
,
making
him
belch
forth
his
soule
to
him
that
long
before
that
expected
it
.
Now
could
not
the
vallerous
youth
so
cleanly
go
away
with
this
good
hap
,
but
that
he
was
hit
on
the
helme
a
heauy
blow
by
the
Phantasmo
,
the
fine
temper
thereof
saued
his
life
,
yet
was
he
in
a
traunce
laid
along
.
On
the
shoulder
the
inchaunted
shapelesse
Picture
seconded
another
,
which
made
him
tumble
on
the
grounde
,
and
as
he
went
to
thrust
at
him
a
furious
poynt
,
he
got
on
his
féete
,
but
so
blinde
with
rage
,
that
forgetting
what
had
befallen
,
he
tooke
his
sword
in
both
hands
,
and
with
the
vtmost
of
his
strength
,
he
discharged
it
vpon
his
shoulder
,
diuiding
the
Phantasmo
cleane
in
two
.
He
had
scarce
executed
the
blow
,
but
the
couragious
Pagan
repented
him
thereof
,
for
each
part
of
the
accursed
Phantasmo
,
turned
to
a
mightie
Lyon
,
whose
ferocitie
could
not
but
haue
feared
any
other
saue
Brauorant
.
It
amated
the
Pagan
,
yet
not
that
he
fainted
,
but
with
more
brauery
then
in
the
beginning
,
held
the
point
of
his
sword
before
him
,
letting
the
beasts
come
,
whereof
one
thirsting
for
his
praie
,
ranne
vpon
his
sword
,
splitting
his
heart
in
two
thereon
.
The
other
assayled
him
on
his
left
side
,
where
finding
no
resistance
,
fastened
his
clawes
on
him
:
and
although
his
Armor
was
strong
,
yet
he
pearst
them
,
renting
his
flesh
within
,
which
but
more
kindled
his
fury
,
séeing
his
blood
there
shead
,
which
til
then
had
happened
in
no
fight
before
.
Bramarants
sonne
would
not
immitate
Sampson
in
that
action
,
because
it
should
not
be
said
he
followed
the
example
,
but
rather
performed
an
act
no
lesse
memorable
,
for
letting
his
sword
hang
by
the
Chaine
at
his
wrist
,
he
tooke
the
Lyon
by
the
necke
twixt
his
hands
,
and
with
incomparable
strength
choaked
him
,
himself
remaining
both
wounded
,
and
with
his
Armor
rent
.
There
is
no
ioy
like
to
his
,
hauing
ended
that
perillous
Combat
,
and
although
he
was
weary
,
yet
went
he
forward
,
fearing
his
companions
would
be
before
him
.
No
lesse
famous
were
Claridianos
battles
:
for
vanquishing
the
kéepers
of
the
first
Castle
,
like
a
whirlewinde
he
past
on
,
making
staie
at
a
litle
narrow
Lane
,
séeming
to
haue
no
end
on
no
side
.
Amazed
was
Archysiloras
gallant
,
at
the
obscuritie
thereof
,
yet
he
went
on
,
and
comming
to
the
ende
,
vnawares
he
did
tread
in
a
hollow
place
,
falling
into
a
Vawte
,
filled
with
nothing
but
Wormes
,
and
venemous
Vermine
.
It
was
but
sixe
yardes
broade
,
and
eight
long
:
It
yéelded
no
more
light
,
then
what
issued
at
a
litle
casement
,
where
he
espied
a
verie
olde
man
,
swarter
then
Chimnies
soothe
,
who
with
a
hoarse
voyce
said
.
In
faith
(
braue
knight
)
you
haue
got
verie
good
company
among
those
Wormes
,
on
them
you
may
execute
your
reuenge
:
but
I
feare
they
wil
first
take
it
on
you
with
their
venome
:
and
therfore
your
best
way
is
not
to
strike
them
,
if
you
wil
not
be
slaine
:
for
t
is
better
to
prorogue
your
life
a
litle
,
then
nothing
to
enioy
it
.
Excéeding
great
was
the
Princes
wrath
,
séeing
himselfe
so
betraied
into
that
pestilentiall
Caue
,
and
hauing
vnderstood
the
Magitians
words
,
blinde
with
rage
he
replied
.
Small
is
the
Conquest
,
got
by
such
treachery
,
thus
to
betray
any
knight
:
which
assures
me
,
that
he
(
which
made
this
Inchauntment
)
was
more
inured
to
treasons
then
good
déeds
,
séeing
without
battles
,
by
vndesent
stratagems
,
he
prosecutes
his
diuellish
intent
and
purpose
.
Why
then
,
that
I
may
sée
how
thy
words
will
agrée
with
your
déeds
(
said
the
infernal
Coniurer
)
there
be
within
that
place
,
two
beasts
,
to
whom
all
the
rest
acknowledge
their
obedience
.
Now
if
thou
beest
so
hardie
as
to
incounter
with
them
,
on
their
deaths
depends
thy
libertie
:
else
art
thou
for
euer
there
inclosed
.
Although
extreame
wrathful
,
yet
glad
in
some
respect
,
Trebatios
Nephew
answered
.
I
am
content
to
hazard
my
person
in
any
daunger
to
issue
hence
,
and
for
an
instance
thereof
,
shewe
me
the
way
I
must
goe
foorth
,
and
then
place
the
beasts
there
.
Be
it
so
(
returned
the
Magitian
)
and
in
yonder
dark
corner
there
is
an
iron
King
,
the
which
if
thou
doest
pluck
at
,
thou
shalt
descry
whence
the
beastes
doo
issue
.
Slacke
was
not
the
Princely
Gréeke
to
goe
thither
,
and
getting
holde
of
the
King
,
hée
pluckt
so
hard
,
that
drawing
a
Plancke
from
the
Wall
,
hée
fell
backwardes
,
with
it
almost
vppon
him
,
but
fearing
the
suddain
comming
of
the
beasts
,
he
quickly
got
on
his
féete
:
when
against
him
there
came
a
Monster
of
straunge
shape
.
His
bodie
was
proportioned
like
a
Beare
,
saue
that
he
had
a
long
Tayle
,
and
crooked
téethe
,
like
Tuskes
,
and
on
his
head
,
he
had
a
horne
neare
a
yarde
long
.
His
armes
were
nothing
differing
from
a
mans
,
being
footed
lyke
a
Lyon
.
In
one
hand
he
beare
a
Bowe
readie
bended
,
with
a
stéele
Darte
.
And
in
the
other
,
he
had
a
Chaine
,
which
tyed
a
mightie
Bazeliske
.
Nothing
daunted
with
the
sight
,
was
Claridiano
,
although
a
litle
amated
at
theyr
fiercenesse
:
but
hauing
an
eye
at
the
Darte
,
drawing
his
sword
,
and
couering
himselfe
wel
with
his
shield
,
he
marched
against
the
vgly
mishapen
Monster
.
Who
shooting
his
Darte
,
did
make
it
flie
swifter
then
lightning
.
The
Prince
warded
himselfe
,
receiuing
it
on
his
shield
.
And
then
the
Monster
hauing
so
done
,
he
let
loose
his
Companion
,
marching
both
togither
against
the
Prince
.
He
also
incountred
them
,
and
méeting
first
with
the
Monster
,
he
let
flie
at
his
head
,
striking
away
halfe
his
horne
,
with
all
his
Iawes
on
that
side
.
Before
he
could
second
it
,
the
Bazeliske
with
his
stéely
Bill
,
strooke
him
vnder
his
arme
,
that
it
made
him
stagger
thrée
or
foure
steppes
,
and
stumbling
on
the
wall
,
saued
himselfe
from
falling
.
In
manifest
daunger
of
his
life
was
the
Gréeke
,
for
the
wounded
Monster
roring
with
paine
,
closed
with
the
Prince
(
ere
he
could
recouer
his
last
mischaunce
)
and
casting
his
armes
about
him
,
would
haue
pluckt
him
backwards
.
Here
Alphebos
sonne
could
no
otherwise
but
doo
the
like
,
and
hauing
greater
strength
,
and
being
more
nimbler
then
the
Monster
,
slipt
one
arme
betwéene
his
legges
,
and
hoysting
him
aloft
,
he
flung
him
to
the
earth
on
his
backe
,
and
as
he
drew
his
Dagger
to
ende
with
him
,
the
furious
Bazeliske
fluttering
his
winges
,
flewe
on
his
shoulders
,
where
with
infernal
fury
,
with
his
inchaunted
Bill
hée
strooke
the
Prince
on
the
head
,
that
it
made
him
loose
his
blowe
and
that
good
occasion
,
and
with
his
helme
clouen
,
felde
him
a
toside
.
In
whiche
season
,
the
Monster
rose
,
spitting
fire
through
his
hellishe
mouth
.
Straight
did
Claridianas
sonne
rise
,
but
being
halfe
astonished
of
the
blowe
,
the
Monster
had
time
to
runne
at
his
breast
with
his
broken
horne
,
which
made
him
so
recoyle
backe
,
that
he
had
much
adoo
to
saue
himselfe
from
a
fall
.
But
what
auailes
it
,
all
being
for
theyr
worst
:
for
the
Prince
(
stifeled
with
rage
)
tooke
his
Dagger
in
his
one
hand
,
and
not
knowing
what
he
did
,
aimed
it
at
the
Bazeliske
that
came
flying
at
him
.
Straighter
then
the
Monster
shot
his
Darte
,
he
flung
it
,
and
hitting
him
in
the
breast
,
it
staied
not
til
it
cleft
his
heart
in
two
,
and
flying
out
at
his
backe
,
fel
with
the
beast
at
once
,
that
with
a
hiddeous
shrike
stird
no
more
.
This
death
greatly
displeased
the
Monster
,
who
bellowing
,
and
spitting
sulphure
flames
,
leapt
to
the
Prince
that
set
his
swords
point
against
him
,
the
which
he
tooke
betwéene
his
tushes
,
and
rising
on
foote
,
would
haue
pluckt
by
the
Princes
skirt
,
but
that
he
saued
it
with
his
shield
,
through
which
,
as
if
it
had
bene
of
some
composed
clay
,
he
thrust
his
clawes
into
it
.
The
haughtie
warriour
did
let
it
go
,
and
raising
his
right
hand
,
(
letting
his
sword
hang
by
the
Chain
,
the
which
he
had
alreadie
drawn
from
the
Monsters
mouth
)
he
would
néedes
make
the
Magitian
witnesse
his
vnequalled
strength
,
for
closing
his
armed
fist
,
he
gaue
the
deformed
Monster
such
a
buffet
,
as
he
strewed
all
his
face
with
his
owne
braines
,
making
his
eyes
flie
from
the
head
,
and
he
himselfe
bellowing
,
fall
dead
at
his
féete
:
to
the
Princes
excéeding
ioy
,
though
not
to
the
Magitians
,
that
woulde
not
any
longer
staie
in
the
Windowe
.
Whereat
the
victorious
youth
without
farther
delaie
,
fearing
to
be
outgone
by
the
rest
,
past
the
doore
he
had
so
dearely
discouered
.
Admirable
were
these
battles
of
the
second
Castles
,
that
hapned
to
Alphebo
,
Brauorant
,
and
Claridiano
:
yet
nothing
inferior
to
them
,
was
heroicke
Claramants
,
for
hauing
done
with
the
first
,
he
stepped
through
the
Gate
,
receiuing
innumerable
blowes
,
not
knowing
by
whom
they
were
giuen
:
making
him
set
his
hands
and
knées
vnto
the
ground
:
neyther
his
shield
nor
terrible
Axe
auailed
,
not
séeing
his
aduersary
.
This
so
tormented
our
seconde
Mars
,
that
he
beganne
with
all
his
strength
to
strike
on
either
side
,
still
kéeping
his
way
forwarde
along
a
fayre
Gallery
,
and
béeing
neare
to
the
end
thereof
,
the
blowes
ceast
,
at
the
opening
of
the
wall
whence
came
foorth
a
wilde
Sauadge
.
In
either
hand
he
did
leade
a
Centaure
,
bounde
with
a
Chaine
,
bearing
in
their
hands
long
Cemitors
.
The
haughtie
Warrior
not
fearing
them
,
with
his
shielde
about
his
arme
,
and
raising
his
Axe
with
the
other
,
went
towards
them
.
At
first
the
Sauadge
met
him
with
an
iron
bat
,
leauing
the
Centaures
behinde
him
:
and
at
the
Princes
Helme
,
he
let
driue
a
terrible
blowe
.
Claramant
lifted
his
shield
to
take
it
thereon
,
the
which
was
driuen
with
such
fury
to
his
head
,
that
he
could
scarce
keepe
himselfe
from
falling
.
With
admired
spéede
the
Centaures
aymed
theyr
Semitors
at
him
:
And
then
he
brauely
turned
his
Axe
,
striking
one
vpon
his
brest
,
felling
him
in
a
sound
,
and
with
a
counterbuffe
he
cut
away
the
others
arme
with
his
Semitor
.
Vnrepaid
could
not
Bryanas
sonne
scape
,
for
the
Sauadge
séeing
his
Centaures
so
intreated
,
discharged
his
bat
vpon
his
shoulder
,
with
such
monstrous
strength
,
that
maugre
his
vallour
,
it
strooke
him
down
,
falling
vpon
the
astonished
Centaure
,
that
then
would
rise
,
who
séeing
him
so
neare
,
did
cast
his
strong
armes
about
,
crushing
him
so
hard
that
he
could
not
stirre
,
giuing
the
Sauadge
occasion
againe
to
raise
his
bat
,
discharging
it
directly
vpon
the
Princes
head
.
But
he
séeing
it
descend
,
with
the
vtmost
of
his
strength
,
on
the
sudden
got
from
betwéene
them
,
some
halfe
yarde
away
,
and
so
auoyded
the
Batte
,
striking
the
Centaure
so
venturous
a
blowe
on
the
breast
,
that
he
opened
the
Portall
of
his
heart
,
with
hideous
horror
,
to
vent
forth
his
liuing
breath
.
Incomparable
was
Claramants
content
of
this
great
good
successe
,
yet
was
it
not
sufficient
to
expell
his
wonderfull
excéeding
rage
,
which
made
him
as
nimble
and
swift
as
a
Roe
,
get
on
his
legges
,
euen
when
the
Sauadge
séeing
the
ill
hap
of
his
stroke
,
did
discharge
another
.
Lightly
did
Claramant
shunne
it
,
and
so
the
Batte
finding
no
resistance
,
ranne
one
halfe
of
it
into
the
grounde
,
and
before
he
could
fetche
it
out
againe
,
the
Prince
with
a
downeright
blowe
easily
cut
asunder
both
his
armes
,
and
turning
againe
vppon
the
Centaure
,
with
another
mightie
blowe
,
he
claue
him
from
the
head
to
the
brest
.
And
so
leauing
him
dead
,
and
the
wilde
Monster
roaring
with
paine
,
he
would
haue
passed
to
enter
the
breach
the
beasts
had
made
in
the
wall
,
but
he
saw
it
close
,
not
knowing
by
what
meanes
,
and
ignoring
the
cause
,
with
raging
furie
,
returned
on
the
Sauadge
,
&
with
his
axe
wounded
him
in
the
middle
,
parting
his
brutish
body
in
two
:
at
the
instant
the
wall
opened
,
whereat
thanking
his
Gods
,
hee
went
thorowe
the
doore
,
fearing
his
stay
might
yéelde
some
aduantage
to
his
companions
,
the
which
he
would
not
acknowledge
Mars
to
haue
ouer
him
.
No
lesse
strong
then
venturous
,
was
Don
Celindos
Combat
,
for
when
he
saw
the
Gyants
disgrace
,
hee
valiantly
put
himselfe
through
a
Caue
,
and
being
at
the
end
thereof
,
comming
to
a
great
gate
,
he
did
tread
in
a
hole
,
falling
:
yet
happily
as
it
fell
out
.
For
before
the
gate
,
there
was
a
Vault
,
couered
with
a
boorde
made
lesse
then
the
mouth
thereof
,
and
fastened
to
a
round
pole
,
whose
endes
crossed
the
hole
at
one
side
,
and
so
treading
harde
on
the
boorde
,
it
ouerweighed
the
one
side
downewards
,
whereby
he
fell
in
:
but
the
holes
mouth
béeing
narrowe
,
and
his
sword
hanging
by
his
side
,
in
the
fall
it
crost
vpon
the
hole
,
and
so
he
hung
thereat
,
ouer
knées
in
water
.
This
vnthought
mischance
,
daunted
Meridians
sonne
,
yet
recommending
himselfe
vnto
his
Gods
,
he
lifted
vp
his
armes
,
and
raysing
his
body
,
cast
it
flat
ouer
the
boorde
,
and
as
light
as
he
could
,
with
much
adoo
,
he
got
out
of
the
hellish
place
,
thinking
himselfe
now
to
haue
new
risen
from
death
.
He
had
scarce
gone
thence
,
when
he
heard
the
voyces
of
certaine
men
,
and
listening
,
he
heard
them
say
:
Come
,
come
,
let
vs
goe
apace
,
and
wee
shall
sée
how
well
the
Rat
canne
swim
.
A
while
stood
the
youth
still
desirous
of
reuenge
.
It
was
not
long
deferred
him
:
for
through
the
same
gate
that
opened
into
a
garden
,
there
issued
sixe
swaines
,
euery
one
with
his
Bill
in
his
hand
.
More
destruction
makes
not
the
hungrie
woolf
among
the
tender
lambs
,
then
Floralizas
brother
of
those
villaines
,
saying
.
Sée
here
you
villaines
,
the
Rat
scaped
from
your
trappe
,
defend
your selues
from
him
.
By
this
he
had
already
cleft
one
to
the
waste
,
and
ran
an
other
through
the
body
and
heart
.
Amazed
were
they
to
sée
that
the
knight
had
scaped
thir
trap
,
and
so
trusting
to
their
aduantage
,
they
made
him
sometime
kisse
the
ground
with
his
hands
,
and
then
with
his
head
:
yet
all
did
but
increase
his
rage
:
For
Alycandros
Nephew
being
abashed
to
let
them
hold
out
so
long
,
so
swoong
his
sword
among
them
,
that
hée
felde
one
dead
,
an
other
with
shoulder
cut
:
an
other
without
legges
:
and
the
last
,
armelesse
,
and
all
wanting
their
soules
,
hee
sent
them
poste
vnto
hell
:
finishing
with
theyr
liues
,
the
ende
of
the
enterance
of
the
second
Castle
,
and
staying
no
longer
there
,
he
entered
into
the
Garden
.
Now
is
the
time
(
admired
Ladies
,
Goddesses
of
those
soules
that
adore
you
)
to
lend
me
a
little
pittie
,
(
the
ornament
of
your
sexe
)
equalling
your
magnificent
bountie
,
with
your
rare
and
diuine
bewties
,
suffering
the
sunnie
rayes
of
your
swéete
fauours
,
so
to
strengthen
my
harsh
quill
,
(
although
immeritable
)
that
I
may
expresse
the
fiercest
battell
that
euer
Mortalles
heard
of
,
worthy
to
bee
atchieued
by
none
but
the
mightie
Alphebo
,
deseruer
of
the
worlds
greatest
Trophies
.
Who
hauing
put
on
the
best
and
richest
Armour
in
the
Vniuerse
,
tooke
his
shéeld
about
his
Arme
,
and
with
his
vnsheathed
sword
,
put
himselfe
through
the
gate
in
the
yarde
,
staying
in
a
roome
darker
then
Erebus
,
and
from
the
doore
thereof
,
issued
sulphire
flames
of
fyre
,
making
it
resemble
hell
it selfe
:
and
looking
within
the
doore
,
he
saw
a
great
Hall
,
all
of
a
fyre
:
wherein
there
was
a
huge
Sallamander
,
as
big
as
any
horse
.
She
had
a
great
head
,
fashioned
like
an
Eagle
,
with
a
stéele
Bill
,
with
clawes
of
the
same
mettall
,
of
excessiue
length
.
Moreouer
she
had
a
long
tayle
like
a
Serpents
,
and
did
nothing
but
voyd
volleys
of
fyre
through
her
mouth
.
Much
amazed
was
the
Emperour
at
the
straunge
fashion
of
the
beast
,
especially
,
not
knowing
how
to
make
his
battell
:
for
if
he
enters
the
roome
,
so
great
is
the
fyre
,
that
it
is
like
to
consume
him
:
and
therefore
he
made
a
noise
,
to
try
if
she
would
come
forth
,
and
so
he
strooke
his
sword
against
the
gate
,
at
which
noise
she
arose
,
but
would
not
moue
:
and
being
vp
,
looked
at
the
doore
,
yet
sturred
not
,
and
did
cast
more
fyre
from
her
mouth
,
then
a
smithes
double
bellowes
rayseth
with
blowing
.
Many
times
was
Alphebo
about
to
follow
after
her
,
but
iudging
it
ouerhardie
boldnesse
,
hee
would
detaine
himselfe
:
yet
calling
to
mind
his
companions
might
out
go
him
,
he
thought
the
danger
too
small
.
So
drew
he
forth
his
dagger
,
and
stepping
to
the
doore
,
hee
threw
it
at
the
Sallamander
,
and
the
marke
being
so
great
,
and
aymed
by
such
an
arme
,
he
missed
her
not
,
but
thorow
her
ribbes
he
made
it
flye
vp
to
the
hylts
,
launching
out
her
gorie
blood
.
The
wound
did
not
harme
her
,
for
licking
it
with
her
tongue
,
it
healed
,
but
yet
it
put
her
into
such
paine
,
that
any
other
but
the
Emperor
would
haue
bene
affrighted
,
hearing
her
hideous
howling
,
and
hauing
an
eye
at
the
causer
of
his
extreame
paine
,
with
two
iumps
shee
was
with
him
.
Backe
stepped
the
Gréeke
,
thinking
shee
woulde
haue
followed
out
,
but
hee
rested
amazed
,
séeing
shee
did
not
,
but
kept
still
within
,
roring
like
a
Bull.
Well
did
the
Trebizonian
Lord
note
it
,
and
therefore
taking
his
shéeld
about
his
arme
,
and
commending
himselfe
to
his
God
,
with
his
sword
he
marched
against
the
beast
,
and
offering
to
strike
her
,
she
béeing
watchfull
,
turned
about
her
scaly
tayle
,
wherewith
she
made
him
loose
his
blowe
,
and
recoyle
thrée
steps
backe
.
But
being
angred
therewith
,
he
returned
with
more
aduice
then
in
the
beginning
,
and
hollowing
his
body
at
her
tayle
that
came
again
in
the
same
maner
,
he
thrust
a
poynt
at
her
brest
,
running
his
sword
a
handfull
into
it
.
Shee
shryked
most
horribly
féeling
the
wound
,
and
in
the
instant
did
spit
so
much
fire
,
that
some
ouertaking
him
and
getting
into
his
Helme
,
it
so
heated
him
,
as
he
thought
his
face
to
be
a
meere
cole
.
Two
steppes
did
Alphebo
goe
backe
to
auoyde
the
fire
,
whence
hee
sawe
that
the
beast
touching
the
wound
with
his
tongue
,
it
presently
healed
,
and
shee
instantly
set
her selfe
at
the
very
edge
of
the
doore
.
It
greatly
confounded
the
Emperours
sences
,
to
sée
he
could
not
deuise
how
to
vanquish
her
,
and
imagining
her
vertue
consisted
in
licking
her
wounds
,
he
determined
to
strike
her
on
the
head
where
her
tongue
might
not
reach
it
:
wherfore
couering
himselfe
with
his
shéeld
,
he
went
to
her
that
expected
him
at
the
doore
.
He
offered
to
strike
her
on
the
brest
with
a
point
,
which
the
Sallamander
fearing
,
shrunke
her
body
backe
,
omitting
the
vse
of
her
tayle
.
So
the
Gréek
Mars
stepped
forward
with
his
hinmost
leg
,
letting
his
sword
fly
at
her
head
.
He
thoght
it
wold
not
lesse
then
cleaue
her
,
yet
found
he
such
resistance
,
that
glauncing
downe
it
wounded
her
a
little
on
the
necke
,
which
she
straight
curing
with
her
tongue
,
it
nothing
hurt
her
at
all
.
This
madded
the
sonne
of
Trebatio
,
especially
to
sée
how
little
it
auailed
him
to
wound
her
:
so
vnresolued
what
to
doo
,
hee
concluded
to
receiue
a
blowe
,
and
then
follow
her
,
to
execute
an
other
at
his
pleasure
on
her
head
,
hoping
her
cure
wold
not
be
so
certaine
there
.
Thus
determined
once
againe
,
he
went
to
the
doore
,
where
she
carefully
awaighting
him
,
and
séeing
him
so
neare
,
ere
he
could
strike
her
,
she
cast
her
clawes
vpon
him
,
and
gryping
him
hard
with
them
,
she
not
onely
frustrated
his
blowe
,
but
plucked
him
so
strongly
,
that
the
good
Emperour
could
not
so
soone
get
from
her
,
whereby
of
force
,
he
was
constrained
to
enter
in
,
where
scarce
shée
had
him
,
but
she
grapled
him
about
the
middle
with
her
stéeled
tallents
,
that
had
he
not
then
had
on
the
best
Armour
in
the
Vniuerse
,
without
doubt
hee
had
there
perished
.
But
though
he
had
escaped
her
sharpe
clawes
,
yet
hee
could
not
auoyde
the
cruell
burning
heate
of
the
enchaunted
fyre
that
then
incompassed
him
on
all
sides
,
chiefly
that
which
issued
from
the
Sallamanders
mouth
.
It
excéedingly
tormented
the
Gréeke
,
séeing
himselfe
so
burne
without
remedie
,
and
his
Armour
to
glowe
like
a
bright
cole
of
fyre
.
And
so
with
that
furie
,
(
hauing
his
death
before
his
eyes
)
nimbler
then
a
cat
,
leaping
out
of
a
fyre
,
he
tooke
holde
of
the
Sallamanders
body
,
and
straining
his
strength
beyond
his
power
,
féeling
his
flesh
broyle
,
hee
ouerturned
her
to
the
ground
,
and
still
maintaining
his
fiercenesse
,
he
brought
her
to
the
doore
,
and
although
she
there
striued
most
to
withstand
him
,
yet
hee
hurled
her
out
of
the
burning
lodging
,
where
on
the
sudden
shee
dyed
,
euen
as
the
fish
wanting
the
water
that
nourisheth
it
.
With
his
dagger
he
went
to
wound
her
,
but
séeing
she
styrred
not
,
he
went
and
found
her
dead
,
wherfore
he
gaue
his
Creator
due
thanks
for
so
great
a
victorie
:
and
without
more
stay
,
hee
disarmed
himselfe
,
for
all
his
Armour
was
of
a
very
fyre
.
Hauing
done
,
hee
felt
himselfe
so
wearie
and
tyred
,
as
euer
before
at
any
time
hee
hadde
beene
:
and
sitting
downe
vpon
the
Sallamander
,
he
tarried
the
cooling
of
his
armes
.
While
this
cruell
combat
lasted
,
the
haughtie
Pagan
,
both
Louer
and
subiect
of
the
gallant
Floraliza
,
had
not
béene
idle
,
who
abashed
at
his
long
staying
in
winning
the
passage
of
the
second
Castle
,
went
along
through
the
hall
,
where
he
did
find
the
Fantasmo
,
whose
ende
brought
him
into
a
fayre
gréene
plot
,
in
middest
whereof
there
was
a
Tower
,
circled
about
with
a
high
stéepie
wall
,
which
had
no
gate
nor
signe
of
entrance
.
Amazed
at
this
sight
,
the
stout
Schythian
looked
to
the
top
of
the
Tower
,
where
he
saw
a
well
accomplished
Knight
,
clad
all
in
rich
Armour
,
who
with
an
angrie
voice
said
.
What
thinkest
thou
knight
?
it
is
in
vaine
to
séeke
an
entrance
hither
,
for
there
is
none
:
vnlesse
thou
wilt
créepe
vp
the
wal
,
which
is
impossible
,
and
were
it
to
be
done
,
seest
thou
not
I
am
here
to
forbid
it
?
but
were
it
not
so
dangerous
,
it
is
graunted
to
none
,
nor
none
shall
ascend
hither
.
In
termes
of
answere
would
not
the
vntaymed
youth
procrastinate
the
time
,
but
rather
with
greatest
haste
disarmed
himselfe
,
kéeping
onely
his
Helme
on
his
head
,
and
his
shéeld
the
which
he
cast
at
his
backe
,
and
his
sword
hanging
by
his
side
,
hee
drew
forth
his
dagger
(
and
beeing
desirous
to
make
his
valour
knowne
vnto
the
Knight
)
hee
strooke
it
into
the
wall
,
and
with
both
his
hands
plucking
out
some
stones
,
hee
clamored
vp
,
and
as
he
ascended
,
so
hee
stucke
his
dagger
,
for
thereon
sometimes
hee
sette
his
féete
,
whilest
hee
made
his
hands
sure
to
mount
.
Amazed
was
the
knight
,
to
sée
with
what
nimblenesse
and
dexteritie
he
did
it
,
but
fearing
to
be
assaulted
on
high
,
he
flung
down
a
great
stone
from
the
top
.
It
fell
vpon
Brauorants
Helme
,
which
with
a
sore
fall
,
halfe
sencelesse
it
tumbled
him
to
the
earth
.
Neuerthelesse
,
within
a
while
hee
recouered
himselfe
,
being
fiercer
then
any
Lyon
,
an
reuiling
himselfe
and
his
Gods
,
which
others
adored
,
he
returned
to
prosecute
his
way
:
but
with
great
care
and
watch
to
escape
from
an
other
fall
,
if
the
Knight
played
as
he
did
before
.
Who
much
delighted
to
sée
with
what
courage
Campeons
Nephewe
clymed
vppe
.
Hee
so
occupied
himselfe
in
gazing
on
him
,
that
Brauorant
had
leaue
to
ascend
so
high
,
that
when
he
would
haue
hurled
an
other
,
hee
had
no
time
to
do
it
,
for
while
he
fetched
it
,
which
was
some
two
yards
from
that
place
,
the
Pagan
had
got
to
the
toppe
,
which
being
loath
to
loose
,
he
brauely
leaped
in
.
His
sterne
presence
somewhat
feared
the
knight
,
but
séeing
him
disarmed
,
he
recouered
strength
:
yet
it
auaileth
him
litle
:
for
Brauorant
so
charged
him
with
a
blow
,
that
it
cut
his
shéeld
cleane
in
two
,
and
descending
on
his
Helme
,
made
him
set
his
knées
to
the
ground
.
It
angred
the
Knight
to
bee
so
vsed
,
who
stepping
in
with
one
foote
,
did
let
flie
at
him
a
strong
poynt
.
By
wresting
aside
his
body
,
Mars
his
Competitor
did
shun
it
,
and
so
suddenly
closed
with
him
,
that
standing
but
on
one
leg
,
he
feld
him
on
his
backe
,
euen
when
the
knight
drew
forth
his
dagger
,
the
which
the
Pagan
being
vnable
to
preuent
,
was
enforced
to
let
him
go
,
who
got
vp
,
and
more
irefull
then
a
Bazeliske
,
going
nearer
,
gaue
him
such
a
blowe
on
the
helme
,
yet
not
able
to
penetrate
,
there
it
glaunced
downe
,
wounding
him
a
little
on
the
shoulder
.
Now
was
the
furious
Pagan
mad
to
sée
his
aduersaries
blade
réeke
with
his
lukewarme
blood
:
whereat
detracting
no
more
time
,
escaping
an
other
thrust
,
againe
he
closed
with
him
,
and
presently
taking
him
by
the
middle
hoysting
him
aloft
,
hee
instantly
tumbled
him
headlong
downe
the
Tower
:
where
on
the
ground
,
with
the
extreame
waight
of
his
Armour
,
hee
was
broken
in
many
péeces
,
and
at
the
instant
,
the
Tower
vanished
away
with
such
a
noyse
,
as
if
the
earth
were
ouerwhelmed
:
so
that
Brauorant
found
himsefe
beneathe
where
his
Armour
lay
,
and
the
dead
Knight
neare
vnto
him
.
There
he
armed
himselfe
,
getting
through
a
Gate
hee
had
espied
.
No
lesse
victorious
remained
Archysiloras
Louer
of
the
aduenture
of
the
last
porche
.
For
hauing
slaine
the
infernall
beasts
in
the
Vault
,
he
went
in
at
the
opened
wall
he
had
descried
,
and
crossing
thorow
a
faire
Orchard
,
he
came
at
last
vnto
a
big
strong
Castle
,
shut
with
brazen
gates
,
whereon
were
made
certaine
Letters
of
Emeralds
:
the
which
he
thus
read
.
What
knight
so
euer
would
end
the
aduenture
,
let
him
winde
his
horne
,
and
the
gates
shall
be
opened
.
Hee
ended
,
making
all
the
field
resound
with
the
eccho
of
the
Hornes
shrill
sound
:
whereat
the
gates
flying
open
,
there
issued
a
mightie
vgly
Draggon
,
shaped
almost
like
the
Sallamander
.
Doubtlesse
any
other
saue
Claridiano
would
haue
feared
his
aspect
:
but
hee
that
was
borne
to
fight
,
as
if
he
were
a
weake
knight
,
taking
his
Shéeld
about
his
arme
,
went
towards
him
with
his
sword
drawne
.
He
warded
a
huge
stroke
with
his
scaly
Taile
:
it
strooke
his
shielde
from
his
arme
,
and
had
almost
felde
him
.
It
inraged
Claridiano
who
stifly
setling
himselfe
on
his
féete
,
thrust
a
poynt
at
the
hellish
beast
,
it
had
like
to
haue
cost
him
his
life
,
for
the
Dragon
escaping
it
,
as
hée
past
,
did
strike
him
so
terrible
a
stroke
,
backwardes
vppon
his
gorget
,
that
he
was
felde
on
his
face
.
Then
would
the
fierce
Dragon
haue
closed
with
him
,
but
hée
found
Claridiano
nothing
remisse
,
who
raging
mad
,
with
a
quicke
leape
atoside
,
auoyded
his
fury
,
and
turning
vppon
him
,
with
his
good
sword
he
cut
away
his
legges
by
the
knées
.
With
dreadfull
crying
shrikes
,
the
woundes
beast
draling
his
bodie
on
the
grounde
,
would
haue
taken
the
Prince
betwéene
his
pawes
,
but
being
wrathfull
,
and
this
his
last
battle
,
with
a
downeright
blowe
hée
cleft
a
péece
of
his
head
,
and
with
a
fierce
thrust
,
cut
his
heart
cleane
in
two
,
felling
him
dead
at
his
féete
,
and
so
past
on
,
desirous
to
ende
the
aduenture
.
At
one
instant
finished
Claridiano
and
Claramant
theyr
Battailes
,
although
Trebatios
sonnes
was
somewhat
longer
,
because
it
was
more
troublesom
.
For
hauing
slain
the
sauadge
&
the
Centaures
,
hée
paced
that
way
they
came
,
til
he
issued
into
a
delightfull
Plaine
,
where
he
was
incountred
by
a
gallant
knight
in
hose
and
doublet
,
who
said
.
So
feared
are
Theseus
Armes
(
Syr
knight
)
in
this
habitation
,
that
dreading
the
losse
of
the
Castle
,
I
am
inioyned
the
Combat
in
this
maner
,
and
if
you
intend
to
passe
on
,
you
must
doo
the
like
:
and
therefore
presently
vnarme
you
.
The
Gréeke
not
refusing
it
,
did
straight
put
off
his
Armour
:
to
whome
the
knight
deliuered
a
Rapier
and
Dagger
,
with
these
words
.
(
With
these
weapons
must
you
defend
your selfe
,
valiant
knight
)
.
I
am
content
,
replied
Claramant
,
and
taking
them
,
prepared
for
the
fight
.
The
Gréeke
first
setling
himselfe
,
did
with
his
Dagger
strike
away
his
aduersaries
point
,
and
with
his
Rapier
wounded
him
with
a
thrust
on
the
breast
,
and
drawing
back
his
leg
,
controwled
the
others
Rapier
,
that
came
directly
to
his
head
.
The
wound
much
gréeuing
the
knight
,
made
him
respect
no
tricks
of
Art
,
but
ranne
against
the
prince
,
who
fearing
his
vnaduised
desperate
comming
,
crost
his
rapier
against
the
other
,
and
so
staied
his
fury
.
but
he
burning
with
ire
to
be
so
preuented
,
thought
to
haue
slaine
him
with
his
Dagger
,
imagining
Claramants
care
was
onely
in
the
preuention
of
the
rapyer
,
but
it
was
not
so
:
for
he
stretching
out
his
arme
further
,
did
first
stabbe
his
dagger
into
the
knights
shoulder
,
which
made
him
forgoe
his
purpose
:
wherevpon
the
Prince
hauing
opportunitie
to
drawe
backe
his
sword
,
did
it
,
and
suddenly
with
a
strong
poynt
wounded
the
knight
mortally
in
the
flancke
,
which
altogither
made
him
faint
.
The
wounded
knight
séeing
his
date
of
life
expyred
,
dispairing
of
remedie
,
he
hurled
his
dagger
at
him
,
with
the
vtmost
of
his
strength
,
that
he
miraculously
scaped
an
vntimely
death
:
for
Claramant
chancing
to
take
it
on
his
hilts
,
the
poynt
thereof
was
stayed
at
the
Pummell
,
and
had
it
not
there
found
that
resistance
,
it
could
not
but
haue
run
it
vp
to
the
hils
into
his
body
.
Amazed
was
the
Gréeke
Prince
,
iudging
that
,
the
moment
of
his
byrth
,
but
going
to
take
his
reuenge
of
the
knight
,
hee
saw
him
splitted
on
his
owne
rapyer
:
for
séeing
himselfe
deadly
wounded
,
and
that
hee
could
not
escape
with
life
,
chose
rather
to
bee
his
owne
executioner
,
then
the
Prince
should
tryumphe
ouer
his
death
at
his
hands
.
Ioying
at
the
victorie
of
so
daungerous
a
Combat
,
hee
prosecuted
his
way
.
No
aduantage
had
Claramant
ouer
Don
Celindo
,
who
ended
his
fight
as
soone
as
he
:
for
hauing
slaine
the
swaynes
,
and
passed
the
Garden
,
hee
came
vnto
a
greene
Meade
,
where
a
knight
gallantly
mounted
,
expected
the
battle
:
not
farre
from
him
there
stood
a
Piller
,
whereto
a
luftie
courser
was
tyed
,
the
which
Alicandros
Nephew
imagining
to
be
for
him
,
he
did
quickly
back
,
and
taking
a
strong
knottie
Launce
that
he
also
there
found
,
eyther
parted
from
the
other
,
to
take
his
carreire
,
and
valiantly
made
their
strong
encounters
.
In
middest
of
the
shéelde
did
Don
Celindo
hit
the
Knight
,
and
clearely
piercing
it
,
thrust
him
so
strongly
,
that
breaking
his
saddle
gyrtes
,
he
tumbled
him
from
his
horse
.
The
knight
strooke
Don
Celindo
on
his
Beauer
,
which
so
astonished
him
,
that
he
let
goe
his
horse
bridle
,
who
féeling
his
head
at
libertie
,
eleuated
himselfe
so
high
,
that
both
fell
downe
,
yet
Don
Celindo
perceiuing
it
,
before
the
fall
,
did
quickly
leape
from
his
backe
.
With
shields
about
their
armes
and
swords
on
high
,
the
two
braue
warriors
met
.
With
a
furious
thrust
did
Don
Celindo
first
wound
his
aduersary
,
which
made
him
giue
backe
thrée
steppes
.
But
he
presently
returned
,
and
gaue
him
such
a
blow
on
the
helme
,
that
he
thoght
himselfe
in
heauen
,
so
many
starres
he
sawe
about
his
head
,
and
with
a
counterbuffe
on
the
shoulder
,
he
had
almost
felde
him
.
Like
a
rauening
Lyon
became
Floralindas
sonne
,
and
offering
to
strike
him
on
the
head
,
the
knight
repaired
thither
with
his
shield
.
It
was
the
cause
of
his
ouerthrow
:
for
Don
Celindo
not
minding
it
,
with
a
point
wounded
him
mortally
on
the
brest
,
pearcing
all
his
Armor
,
and
then
with
mightie
strength
turning
his
sword
to
the
others
head
,
he
cut
away
halfe
his
helme
,
with
a
péece
of
his
scull
.
Howling
and
shriking
with
the
wound
,
the
knight
turned
his
backe
,
and
fled
through
a
faire
Gallery
.
After
him
went
Don
Celindo
,
ouertaking
him
in
a
great
plaine
,
where
he
sawe
foure
great
Arches
inchaste
with
precious
stones
,
held
vp
with
eight
mightie
Christal
Pillers
.
There
did
Don
Celindo
assaile
the
knight
,
euen
when
a
bewteous
Lady
most
richly
attyred
confronted
him
.
He
was
astonished
at
her
sight
,
thinking
he
sawe
his
deare
Rosiluera
.
Stay
your
hand
braue
knight
(
said
the
Lady
)
and
doo
not
execute
your
wrath
on
him
that
yéelds
you
the
victorie
.
I
cannot
(
most
soueraigne
Princesse
replied
he
,
amazed
to
sée
her
there
)
but
satisfie
your
content
,
obeying
what
ere
you
shall
impose
on
me
:
as
he
only
borne
to
do
your
seruice
:
yet
is
my
poore
soule
tormented
with
griefe
,
that
this
commaund
is
no
greater
.
It
is
too
much
(
answered
she
)
for
her
that
hath
showne
you
no
kindnesse
:
and
so
the
craftie
Damzel
taking
him
by
the
hande
,
placed
him
vnder
the
last
Arche
,
leauing
him
there
inchaunted
,
without
iudgement
or
vnderstanding
,
sauing
how
to
accomplish
her
wil
,
who
leauing
him
there
said
.
Here
must
you
remaine
Syr
knight
,
and
defend
the
entrance
gainst
all
the
world
,
if
all
the
worlde
shall
come
.
Be
assured
(
Lady
)
I
wil
(
replied
the
inchaunted
youth
)
and
first
I
le
leaue
to
breathe
,
then
desist
from
defending
the
Arche
.
Away
went
the
Lady
along
the
Arches
,
when
the
furious
Brauorant
came
thitherward
,
hauing
put
on
his
Armour
.
He
stept
backe
as
one
in
a
traunce
,
imagining
he
behelde
his
Floraliza
,
into
that
shape
she
had
transmuted
her selfe
.
The
Pagan
so
admyred
her
sight
,
as
he
was
strooke
dumbe
,
but
she
reuiued
him
thus
.
Come
with
me
braue
knight
,
for
we
greatly
néede
your
strength
.
He
did
not
refuse
it
,
saying
.
Leade
the
way
(
diuine
Ladie
,
replied
he
)
for
it
is
my
felicitie
to
loose
my
life
for
your
bewtie
.
Leading
him
by
the
hand
,
the
deceitfull
Ladie
left
him
inchaunted
vnder
the
third
Arche
,
saying
.
Courteous
Knight
,
this
Arche
must
you
defend
,
with
the
vtmost
of
your
vallor
.
He
made
answer
.
Leaue
that
care
to
me
,
for
wil
at
least
shall
not
want
,
if
strength
forsakes
me
not
.
At
another
Gate
by
this
,
appeared
Archysiloras
Louer
,
to
him
she
went
,
representing
the
Quéen
of
Lyra.
Whom
(
to
be
short
)
she
also
inchaunted
in
the
second
,
and
in
the
first
did
the
like
by
Claramant
,
hauing
on
the
presence
,
and
countenance
of
the
famous
Lyndabrides
,
whom
he
by
report
alreadie
began
to
fancie
.
Then
like
the
winde
she
vanisht
away
,
yet
ere
she
went
,
she
commuunded
them
on
their
liues
,
they
should
not
go
out
of
the
Arches
,
vnlesse
they
would
imbrace
theyr
deaths
.
And
so
leauing
a
scroll
vpon
a
Piller
,
she
left
them
.
CHAP.
XXVI
.
How
the
Emperour
Alphebo
ended
the
famous
Inchauntment
of
Roselia
,
and
what
else
happened
.
SO
great
was
the
care
that
those
wise
men
,
Lyrgandeo
,
Artemidoro
and
Nabato
had
ouer
the
Gréekes
and
theyr
Empire
,
that
by
theyr
Arte
had
reached
to
the
knowledge
,
how
that
memorable
Monarchy
would
be
brought
to
the
point
of
an
vtter
ouerthrow
,
and
perpetuall
desolation
:
wherefore
so
entierly
affecting
her
Princes
,
(
as
this
great
Historie
hath
amply
mentioned
)
for
their
Loues
,
they
reuolued
their
bookes
,
to
know
the
cause
,
and
causer
of
such
bloodie
warres
:
which
they
found
to
be
the
two
Princesses
,
Lyriana
of
Nyquea
,
and
Roselia
of
Rome
:
whereupon
they
resolued
to
Inchaunt
them
,
beginning
first
with
Lyriana
,
within
the
sea
Tower
,
as
hath
bene
related
.
And
séeing
that
the
Romane
Princesse
was
left
,
they
ioyned
themselues
togither
,
in
the
making
of
this
Inchantment
the
strongest
euer
séene
,
for
while
she
was
so
kept
,
her
Father
should
not
knowe
what
had
happened
betwéene
her
and
Don
Eleno
of
Dacia
,
nor
should
she
at
his
hands
require
reuenge
against
him
.
As
they
did
determine
it
,
so
did
the
wise
Magitians
performe
it
,
making
it
far
stronger
then
Lyrianas
,
for
they
intended
to
kéepe
her
long
time
there
,
vntil
some
good
order
were
taken
about
the
Gréekes
affaires
.
Againe
,
they
resolued
to
haue
Lyriana
disinchaunted
,
and
her
Nuptialls
with
the
Brytaine
Prince
solemnized
,
hoping
it
wold
be
a
means
to
reconcile
the
Souldan
of
Nyquea
,
giuing
him
so
great
a
Prince
as
Rosabel
to
be
his
sonne
in
lawe
.
They
would
not
do
so
by
Roselia
,
because
she
could
not
be
wedded
with
whome
she
had
imprinted
in
her
heart
.
But
the
peruerse
Selagio
(
by
meanes
of
Lupercio
)
hunting
after
reuenge
for
the
death
of
Fangomadon
(
whom
Rosicler
flew
,
as
in
the
first
Chapter
of
the
first
booke
of
this
third
part
is
exprest
)
would
néeds
procure
the
libertie
of
this
Lady
,
with
Arbolinda
of
Scotland
,
that
accompanied
her
:
for
which
purpose
,
in
a
Barke
he
drew
Brauorant
and
Don
Celindo
,
from
the
Fléete
:
doing
the
like
by
Alphebo
,
directing
also
Claridiano
and
Claramant
thither
:
where
all
of
them
performed
such
déeds
in
armes
as
is
specified
,
and
worthie
of
such
great
Princes
,
slaying
all
the
kéepers
of
the
Castles
.
But
the
wise
men
fearing
the
two
Ladies
libertie
,
as
the
last
refuge
of
their
hopes
,
erected
these
foure
Arches
,
there
to
Inchaunt
those
mightie
Warriors
,
that
none
might
end
the
aduenture
,
they
being
the
sole
Pillers
of
humane
strength
.
Twentie
yeares
they
purposed
the
Inthauntment
should
stand
,
finding
by
theyr
Art
,
that
after
that
time
Greece
would
flourish
with
most
happinesse
,
by
a
contracted
League
,
with
the
greatest
Potentates
of
the
world
.
But
the
supreame
King
of
Kings
,
hauing
otherwise
disposed
of
those
affayres
,
frustrated
(
as
you
shall
sée
)
theyr
toyles
,
bringing
thither
at
that
time
Alphebo
,
sole
Phoenix
in
armes
,
vallor
,
and
all
bountie
.
So
much
the
longer
he
staied
,
vntil
his
armor
was
coole
,
and
then
buckling
it
on
,
past
the
last
Portall
,
comming
to
the
Arches
,
at
the
very
instant
the
Lady
had
done
inchaunting
the
knights
,
and
lighting
on
the
Piller
,
he
thus
read
the
inscription
.
Let
none
though
he
be
Mars
in
Armes
,
pretend
to
passe
forward
,
for
what
is
done
,
is
nothing
comparable
to
what
is
to
do
,
seeing
he
must
Combat
with
the
Myrrors
of
Chiualry
,
Claramant
,
Claridiano
,
Brauorant
,
and
Don
Celindo
.
The
Trebezonian
Lord
did
feele
his
blood
fréeze
in
his
bodie
,
hearing
his
strong
Companions
were
there
inchaunted
,
and
among
them
his
sonne
,
for
whose
sake
he
greatly
dreaded
the
fight
,
fearing
some
ill
mischaunce
either
to
him
or
his
sonne
:
for
he
déemed
none
equalled
Claridiano
.
Oh
,
Claridianas
Lord
wisht
his
sonne
thence
,
and
in
his
place
the
whole
world
:
for
that
power
vnited
,
he
not
so
much
did
doubt
.
As
he
was
thus
considering
with
himselfe
,
he
heard
a
voyce
(
that
by
Selagios
procurement
said
)
What
doubts
thou
Illustrious
Emperor
?
Consider
it
is
not
worthie
thy
great
valor
to
refuse
these
Combats
,
for
theyr
endes
shal
conclude
the
famousest
déeds
in
armes
that
was
euer
heard
of
.
Altogither
did
these
words
put
him
from
his
pensiuenesse
,
iudging
his
delaie
to
procéed
from
base
cowardise
:
wherfore
as
swift
as
a
Roe
,
he
went
towards
the
first
Arche
,
when
he
heard
the
noyse
of
certaine
voyces
,
that
said
.
Leaue
,
leaue
,
this
accursed
enterprise
,
thou
mightie
Alphebo
,
for
with
the
blowes
thou
giuest
to
one
knight
,
thou
woundest
Bryanas
soule
,
and
with
those
thou
dischargest
on
the
other
,
thou
doest
split
her
heart
,
to
whom
thou
owest
all
content
:
thy
deare
Clatidiana
we
meane
.
Backe
stept
the
Emperor
,
not
in
feare
of
the
Battles
,
for
his
heroicke
mind
was
not
vsed
to
it
,
but
to
haue
vnderstood
those
words
,
yet
supposing
they
were
vttered
only
to
threaten
him
,
rather
desiring
to
die
(
oh
admirable
courage
)
then
to
be
tainted
with
cowardise
,
recommending
himself
to
his
true
God
,
he
began
to
march
towards
the
first
arch
,
being
nothing
hurt
by
the
Inchantment
,
for
the
vertue
of
his
King
defended
it
,
the
which
he
alwayes
woare
,
wherewith
he
freed
his
Father
from
Lyndarazas
imprisonment
,
where
he
atchiued
immortall
fame
.
He
had
no
sooner
entred
it
,
but
like
a
blazing
Commet
,
Claramant
issued
to
entertaine
him
,
(
vnknowne
to
his
brother
)
by
reason
of
the
inchantment
.
At
that
time
a
gallant
window
opened
,
where
appeared
two
ladies
,
whose
bewties
stained
Venus
in
her
pride
,
there
come
to
beholde
the
battels
.
At
length
togither
met
the
two
haughtie
combattants
,
either
receiuing
the
other
,
with
the
puissance
of
their
strong
terrible
blowes
.
They
discharged
them
on
the
toppe
of
their
heads
so
rigorously
,
that
squadrons
of
sparkles
flew
from
their
helmes
.
Either
did
set
one
knée
on
the
ground
,
bowing
their
heads
with
such
low
congies
,
as
if
they
had
knowne
themselues
to
be
brothers
.
Both
remained
angrie
and
fearefull
of
the
others
strength
:
so
rising
,
they
gaue
beginning
to
the
hammering
of
their
bodies
,
as
if
it
were
a
battell
of
twentie
knights
.
The
Emperors
new
wonne
armor
,
did
well
defend
his
flesh
from
the
cutting
of
Theseus
axe
.
Neuerthelesse
,
within
an
houre
of
their
fight
,
he
felt
his
bodie
sorely
brused
,
yet
he
comforted
himselfe
,
séeing
his
aduersarie
besmeared
with
his
owne
blood
,
hauing
his
armor
rent
and
torne
in
many
places
,
but
yet
as
lustie
as
when
he
beganne
,
and
raising
his
axe
,
he
laide
on
the
others
shoulder
.
The
inpenetrable
armes
he
may
thanke
for
his
life
,
the
which
they
saued
,
though
not
him
from
touching
the
earth
with
his
hands
.
And
so
the
valiant
Prince
seeing
this
good
occasion
,
closed
with
him
,
that
either
cast
his
strong
armes
about
the
other
,
to
procure
eithers
aduantage
.
Soone
got
Claramant
ouer
the
Emperor
,
because
he
assaulted
him
with
a
suddaine
aduised
charge
.
But
Claridianos
Louer
hauing
recouered
his
foyle
,
made
him
loose
his
ground
,
and
so
ouerturned
him
of
one
side
,
that
crossing
his
legge
with
his
,
he
tript
his
brother
,
who
fell
vnder
him
:
yet
as
swift
as
an
Eagle
he
got
vp
,
and
grappling
togither
,
they
tumbled
vp
and
downe
the
paued
earth
.
Where
séeing
they
could
not
so
vanquish
one
another
,
let
go
,
repairing
to
their
weapons
,
with
such
mightinesse
&
heauie
blowes
wounding
their
bodies
,
that
none
saue
they
in
al
the
world
,
could
suffer
them
:
yet
did
not
they
faint
,
nor
loose
no
whit
of
their
fierce
courage
,
whose
furie
being
throughly
heated
,
séemed
to
increase
their
strength
and
ardinent
,
becomming
so
nimble
and
quicke
in
assaulting
and
retiring
,
offending
,
and
defending
,
that
their
féete
séemed
to
be
winged
.
Greatly
did
Alphebo
wonder
at
his
aduersaries
fiercenesse
,
iudging
him
one
of
the
best
in
the
vniuerse
,
calling
to
remembrance
the
battell
he
had
in
Constantinople
with
his
brother
Rosicler
,
about
the
Princesse
Lyndabrides
.
He
could
not
deuise
how
to
get
from
him
that
arch
,
supposing
his
victorie
consisted
thereon
.
Committing
himselfe
to
God
,
and
trusting
to
his
forces
,
auoyding
a
thrust
,
he
closed
with
Claramant
,
and
before
he
could
preuent
it
,
he
hoysed
him
from
the
ground
,
who
vnable
to
forbid
it
,
he
carried
out
of
the
arch
,
but
with
excéeding
labour
,
for
Claramant
with
the
vtmost
of
his
power
striued
to
let
it
.
He
was
no
sooner
thence
,
when
as
one
dead
he
remained
in
the
Emperors
armes
,
who
laying
him
downe
,
imagining
hee
would
reuiue
with
the
ende
of
the
aduenture
,
he
past
that
,
till
he
entred
the
second
arch
,
where
against
him
,
came
the
Mirror
of
courtesie
&
fortitude
,
the
magnanimious
Claridiano
.
Almost
did
his
father
knowe
him
,
by
the
maiesticke
gate
&
comelynesse
wherewith
he
made
against
him
,
giuing
him
so
suddain
a
blow
,
that
ere
he
repaired
to
the
defence
,
hee
seconded
two
thrusts
,
which
sorely
vexed
Trebatios
sonne
,
making
him
stagger
thrée
steppes
back
,
and
before
he
recouered
himselfe
,
he
gaue
him
a
downe
right
blow
on
the
helme
,
which
made
him
sée
many
millions
of
firie
sparkes
.
It
greatly
inraged
the
péerelesse
Alphebo
,
who
séeing
himselfe
so
handled
,
forgetting
that
he
was
his
father
,
and
he
his
sonne
,
did
most
terribly
discharge
his
rich
blade
vpon
his
shield
.
It
yéelds
no
defence
against
the
best
arme
in
the
world
,
for
in
two
péeces
it
was
throwne
to
the
ground
,
and
descending
to
the
helme
,
finding
there
more
resistance
,
it
made
his
head
bend
with
an
awfull
congey
due
to
his
authoritie
,
and
kisse
the
earth
with
his
hands
,
and
as
he
rose
,
with
a
strong
poynt
he
was
ouerturned
to
the
ground
.
Long
was
he
not
so
,
but
rising
like
the
winde
,
blinde
with
rage
,
he
tooke
his
sword
in
both
hands
,
discharging
it
on
his
fathers
shield
,
the
which
resisted
the
edge
,
was
strooke
with
such
might
against
his
helme
,
that
he
thought
the
firmament
was
within
.
With
his
knées
on
the
ground
he
so
remained
astonished
,
till
the
sound
of
another
blowe
vpon
his
shoulder
awakened
him
,
to
stay
himselfe
with
his
hands
from
falling
.
Neuer
did
Alphebo
féele
himselfe
more
chollericke
,
nor
furious
,
nor
neuer
by
one
battle
so
indaungered
:
but
fearing
to
be
ouercome
,
with
madding
rage
he
went
against
him
he
tendred
as
his
soule
,
and
on
his
waste
gaue
him
a
most
mightie
blow
.
It
made
him
incline
his
bodie
that
way
,
for
cutting
his
armor
,
it
wounded
him
alittle
,
sprinkling
the
ground
with
his
crimson
blood
.
With
a
counterbuffe
the
Emperor
returned
,
hitting
him
on
his
Go●get
:
vpwards
bounded
the
sword
,
&
falling
on
the
buckles
of
his
helm
,
it
cut
them
all
,
making
it
flie
from
his
head
.
With
admiration
did
the
Trebizonian
Lord
gaze
on
his
picture
,
in
such
carelesse
manner
,
that
Claridiano
had
time
to
strike
him
at
his
pleasure
on
the
middest
of
his
precious
helme
,
and
straining
the
vtmost
of
his
strength
,
he
felled
him
downe
,
making
the
blood
gush
from
the
closings
of
his
helme
.
With
more
eagernesse
doth
not
the
soring
hawk
seizeon
his
pray
,
then
Claridiano
closed
with
his
father
,
and
casting
his
armes
about
him
,
thought
to
choke
him
betwéene
them
,
at
such
time
as
the
fierce
Emperor
returned
to
himselfe
.
Oh
,
then
did
hee
wish
to
haue
any
other
then
Claridiano
betwéene
his
armes
,
(
I
,
though
it
were
the
God
of
battels
himselfe
)
to
inflict
on
him
the
deserued
punishment
for
such
vsance
,
the
which
hee
could
not
now
do
,
vnlesse
he
should
powre
vengeance
on
himselfe
.
But
hauing
good
hold
on
him
,
with
some
trouble
at
length
hee
lifted
him
from
the
ground
,
and
with
violent
striuing
,
opposing
his
greatest
forces
against
his
sonnes
resistance
,
with
blood
gushing
from
his
face
,
he
carried
him
out
of
the
arch
:
and
leauing
him
euen
like
Claramant
,
hee
felt
his
bodie
neuer
wearier
in
all
his
life
.
A
while
hee
sate
him
downe
at
the
foote
of
the
same
arch
,
to
rest
himselfe
,
and
putting
off
his
helme
,
hee
wyped
his
bloodie
face
:
but
with
the
sight
of
the
two
Ladies
in
the
window
,
whom
he
iudged
to
bee
Roselia
and
Arbolinda
,
remembring
their
fréedome
,
he
rebuckled
on
his
helme
,
and
marched
to
the
third
arch
,
where
Brauorant
,
the
flower
of
Pagans
strength
,
incountred
him
with
a
strong
poynt
.
On
his
shield
did
the
Emperor
receiue
it
,
against
which
the
sword
bending
,
forced
him
two
steppes
backe
.
Another
seconded
the
Pagan
on
his
breast
,
making
him
bende
his
bodie
backewards
.
And
comming
vppon
him
with
the
third
,
Trebatios
sonne
gaue
way
vnto
the
furious
poynt
,
which
finding
no
stay
,
it
drewe
the
hardy
Scythian
after
it
.
Whom
Alphebo
following
,
strooke
him
on
the
flancke
,
and
vnable
to
cut
his
armor
,
he
brused
his
flesh
within
.
This
blowe
chafed
the
fierce
Pagan
,
who
like
a
Basseliske
,
with
Mars
his
strength
,
did
let
flie
at
him
a
mightie
blowe
.
On
his
shield
did
the
Emperor
take
it
,
the
which
was
strooke
so
against
his
helme
,
making
it
thunder
like
the
stormie
heauens
.
And
then
hée
gaue
him
a
cruell
thrust
,
that
had
not
his
armor
béene
the
best
in
the
world
,
he
could
not
but
haue
incurred
mortall
perill
.
The
Gréekes
respected
no
trickes
of
defence
being
so
handled
:
wherefore
like
winters
hayle
,
he
charged
the
Pagan
with
his
blowes
in
such
sort
,
that
hee
rested
amazed
at
the
Emperors
fiercenesse
,
yet
fainted
not
his
shewen
valor
in
the
beginning
,
though
his
owne
blood
had
besmeared
his
armor
,
whose
inchauntment
was
not
of
force
against
the
cutting
of
Alphebos
sword
.
About
this
time
,
the
Gréeke
with
all
his
puissance
,
gaue
him
a
blow
on
his
helme
,
whose
force
greatly
inforced
him
back
,
which
occasioned
the
Emperor
to
execute
his
intent
,
for
noting
with
what
blinde
eager
furie
the
Scythian
came
against
him
,
the
pollitick
Lord
returned
back
by
little
and
little
,
euen
to
the
first
Arch.
So
Brauorant
thinking
hée
did
it
for
feare
,
hastily
followed
him
,
and
beeing
almost
out
of
the
Arches
,
he
heard
a
voyce
that
said
:
Returne
,
returne
,
renowned
Brauorant
,
and
remember
Floralizas
command
:
go
not
out
of
the
first
arch
,
for
if
thou
doest
,
thou
art
but
dead
.
Great
was
his
affection
towardes
that
Ladie
,
hearing
himselfe
called
by
her
owne
name
,
amazedly
turned
his
head
,
supposing
she
was
there
.
Which
happie
occasion
Bryanas
sonne
would
not
loose
,
for
watching
such
opportunitie
,
with
one
stride
he
ioyned
with
him
,
hoysting
his
bodie
in
the
ayre
,
and
béeing
neare
out
of
it
,
maugre
the
Pagans
strength
,
he
threw
him
foorth
,
leauing
him
as
one
dead
.
Infinit
thankes
did
the
Gréeke
render
vnto
God
for
this
victorie
,
and
without
longer
stay
,
he
paced
to
the
last
arch
,
kept
by
Alicandros
Nephew
,
with
whom
hee
had
one
of
the
brauest
battels
in
the
world
:
for
the
aduantage
the
Emperour
had
ouer
him
in
strength
,
the
other
supplied
by
being
fresh
,
and
he
wearie
and
tired
.
It
so
pleased
the
bewteous
Roselia
(
being
one
of
those
that
looked
on
them
)
to
sée
with
what
dexteritie
and
valor
Don
Celindo
prosecuted
his
fight
,
that
shee
purposed
(
though
shee
was
inchanted
)
to
make
none
Patrone
of
her
heart
but
him
,
if
she
wedded
not
Don
Eleno
.
Here
doth
not
Lyrgandeo
particularize
this
combat
,
because
he
would
not
be
tedious
,
onely
hée
affirmeth
it
was
one
of
the
famousest
that
euer
was
:
and
how
in
the
and
he
was
as
his
companions
carried
out
of
the
arches
,
but
with
a
new
wound
,
for
while
he
made
his
battell
,
he
chanced
to
behold
Roselia
,
whom
he
so
well
liked
,
that
hee
almost
forgot
the
faire
Rosiluera
Excéeding
great
ioy
conceiued
the
Gréeke
Mars
,
to
haue
wonne
the
Arches
,
and
as
he
returned
throgh
them
,
a
Ladie
incountred
him
with
these
words
.
Know
,
illustrous
Emperor
,
mirrour
of
the
worlds
chiualrie
,
that
the
end
of
this
aduenture
consists
in
giuing
me
that
ring
on
your
finger
,
to
put
it
on
your
wife
Claridianas
that
yonder
lieth
,
and
it
behooues
you
to
do
it
with
speede
,
for
else
her
life
is
short
,
and
readie
to
exspire
her
cancelled
date
,
by
the
hands
of
that
knight
which
stands
ouer
her
.
Towards
the
place
whence
the
Damzell
came
,
he
turned
his
head
,
where
he
thought
he
saw
his
Claridiana
lying
on
the
ground
,
and
ouer
her
a
knight
with
a
dagger
in
his
hand
,
wherewith
he
offered
to
stabbe
her
.
No
longer
stayed
the
haughtie
Gréeke
,
but
like
a
furious
Lyon
,
leauing
the
Ladie
he
ranne
to
the
knight
,
who
fearing
to
be
slaine
,
(
being
Nabato
so
disguised
)
togither
with
the
damzell
vanished
away
:
whereat
the
Emperour
wondred
,
as
also
of
the
straunge
aduenture
of
the
Castle
.
In
the
end
of
the
arches
,
he
found
a
large
wide
paire
of
staires
,
made
all
of
precious
stones
,
hee
ascended
them
quicker
then
a
hurried
bullet
from
a
cannons
mouth
,
and
beeing
at
the
toppe
,
hee
sawe
a
faire
rich
Gallerie
,
from
whence
the
Ladies
viewed
the
battels
.
At
the
ende
thereof
,
he
past
a
gorgeous
Portall
,
that
opened
into
a
great
Hall
of
admired
riches
:
and
as
he
would
enter
into
it
,
two
Ladies
saluted
him
,
whom
he
thoght
to
be
those
before
mentioned
,
being
indéed
the
Princesse
Roselia
,
and
Arbolinda
.
With
much
courtesie
the
Emperour
returned
their
salutations
,
and
to
bee
assured
if
they
were
whom
the
Tables
mentioned
,
he
demanded
of
them
thus
.
Let
me
intreate
you
faire
Ladies
,
to
tell
mee
where
within
this
dwelling
I
may
finde
the
Princesse
Roselia
of
Rome
,
and
Arbolinda
of
Scotland
,
for
I
much
desire
to
sée
them
,
to
know
whether
it
bee
true
,
what
the
world
reporteth
of
their
beauties
?
Then
they
said
.
With
one
condition
(
sir
knight
)
we
will
lead
you
where
they
be
,
which
if
you
denie
,
it
will
bee
impossible
to
sée
them
.
Demaund
what
you
will
(
replied
the
kinde
warriour
)
for
I
will
performe
what
euer
it
be
.
We
hoped
no
lesse
from
your
valour
(
said
Arbolinda
)
and
therefore
we
pray
you
giue
vs
that
ring
on
your
finger
,
that
we
may
carrie
it
to
Roselia
,
that
greatly
néeds
it
.
I
am
content
(
answered
the
wary
(
Gréeke
)
but
first
go
we
beyond
yon
first
Arch
,
&
there
I
protest
by
the
faith
of
a
knight
,
to
performe
my
promise
.
That
is
to
denie
it
(
saide
Roselia
)
for
wee
may
not
go
any
farther
.
Why
then
soueraigne
Ladies
(
replied
Alphebo
)
I
recall
my
promise
,
intended
on
this
condition
.
If
you
be
so
resolued
(
said
Arbolinda
)
farewell
,
for
we
must
go
vnto
the
Princesses
,
vnwoorthie
of
your
discourtesie
,
that
because
you
wil
not
performe
your
promise
,
shall
here
remaine
inchaunted
,
vntill
the
comming
of
some
other
more
kinder
knight
,
to
pittie
them
.
I
do
so
greatly
desire
to
be
absolued
of
my
passed
word
(
replied
the
Gréeke
)
especially
(
as
you
sayd
)
Roselias
libertie
depending
thereon
,
that
I
intend
perforce
,
(
crauing
pardon
for
my
boldnesse
)
to
carrie
you
where
I
may
giue
you
my
ring
,
and
be
fréede
of
my
promise
.
Whereto
Roselia
said
.
You
will
not
I
hope
,
intreat
vs
with
such
violence
,
for
it
is
not
the
part
of
a
good
knight
,
to
oppresse
distressed
Ladies
,
inforcing
them
against
their
wils
:
which
to
preuent
,
wee
will
leaue
you
,
returning
to
Roselia
,
that
expects
vs
.
As
the
gallant
Ladies
were
turning
their
backes
,
Trebatios
sonne
stept
to
them
,
and
tooke
them
in
his
armes
,
and
in
his
going
out
of
the
Gallerie
,
many
hideous
fearefull
shrikes
were
heard
,
and
he
charged
with
mightie
inuincible
blowes
,
ynough
to
haue
dissolued
Vulcans
work
house
:
yet
for
all
this
,
did
not
the
flower
of
armes
cease
to
go
forward
,
sometimes
setting
his
hands
,
and
sometimes
his
knées
to
the
ground
,
and
then
inclining
his
head
belowe
his
breast
.
Many
terrible
illusions
were
opposed
against
him
,
sufficient
to
daunt
Mars
himselfe
.
But
they
nothing
feared
him
,
for
the
magnanimious
Alphebo
,
by
this
had
descended
the
staires
,
and
although
tormented
with
oppressiue
vlowes
,
confronted
with
horred
apparisians
,
and
his
hearing
made
deafe
wfth
miserable
howlings
,
yet
hee
got
out
of
all
the
arches
,
at
what
instant
there
sounded
the
lowdest
and
most
shrillest
noyse
,
with
the
mightiest
thunderclap
that
euer
was
heard
in
the
world
.
Tenne
myles
from
Rome
it
was
heard
,
making
that
famous
Cittie
shake
as
with
an
earthquake
,
vtterly
dissoluing
the
best
inchauntment
that
euer
mortals
heard
of
.
In
middest
of
an
oderiferous
plaine
,
did
Alphebo
find
himselfe
,
clad
in
his
rich
won
armor
,
with
his
son
Claridiano
,
that
equalled
him
in
all
things
:
with
them
the
mightie
Claramant
,
in
all
respects
comparable
,
to
brother
and
Cousin
.
There
also
was
that
furious
Brauorant
,
Paragon
of
the
Gyantean
regions
,
accompanied
with
the
new
Louer
Don
Celindo
:
and
with
them
,
the
beauteous
Princesses
,
Roselia
and
Arbolinda
.
Well
remembred
Brauotant
what
had
him
befallen
,
and
thinking
he
had
by
him
béene
vanquished
,
would
haue
challenged
the
Emperor
of
Trebizound
about
it
,
but
that
he
descried
a
great
company
comming
throgh
the
Forrest
:
and
supposing
it
to
be
the
Emperour
of
Rome
,
hee
tooke
his
leaue
of
the
Princes
and
Ladies
,
who
were
not
able
to
stay
him
.
And
comming
to
the
sea
side
,
he
shipped
himselfe
in
his
Barke
,
which
in
short
time
brought
him
to
the
Souldan
of
Nyqueas
Fléete
.
Claridiano
and
Claramant
would
also
néeds
depart
,
imagining
they
were
not
knowne
,
shaping
their
course
towards
Grecia
,
because
they
heard
the
world
prepared
against
her
.
Alphebo
would
not
hinder
their
voyage
,
séeing
it
pleased
them
to
conceale
their
names
,
and
so
he
tooke
his
leaue
of
them
.
By
this
arriued
the
Emperour
of
Rome
,
whom
the
noyse
of
their
battels
,
and
the
beasts
howlings
had
brought
thither
:
and
alighting
from
his
Alfana
,
he
embraced
his
daughter
Roselia
,
and
Arbolinda
,
with
such
ioy
as
may
be
thought
.
In
the
end
(
to
be
short
)
Don
Celindo
recounted
what
had
befallen
,
which
made
them
all
wonder
,
admiring
Alphebos
valours
:
who
also
vnwilling
to
be
longer
detained
,
tooke
his
leaue
and
departed
.
So
shipping
himselfe
,
arriued
in
Constantinople
,
where
he
at
large
discoursed
the
whole
processe
of
the
aduenture
.
Don
Celindo
remained
mith
Roselia
,
whose
disinchantment
was
solemnized
with
many
triumphes
.
Thus
leauing
them
all
,
we
returne
to
the
valiant
Princes
,
Claramant
,
and
Claridiano
,
nauigating
by
sea
in
their
inchaunted
Barke
.
CHAP.
XXVII
.
How
the
two
Princes
,
Claridiano
and
Claramant
,
arriued
at
Grecia
,
and
of
the
faire
aduenture
that
befell
them
with
a
knight
.
WIth
more
furie
then
the
dreadful
threatning
Commet
renteth
his
passage
through
the
firie
element
,
did
the
inchanted
barke
wherein
those
two
Princes
nauigated
,
furrow
the
raging
billowes
of
Neptunes
inhospitable
regions
,
directing
their
course
towards
the
memorable
Grecian
Empire
.
So
swiftly
did
it
cut
the
foming
waues
,
that
foure
daies
after
,
in
sight
of
the
Gréekes
Fléete
,
that
anchored
in
the
Hauen
of
Hircambella
,
and
not
farre
from
it
they
ranne
a
shore
.
It
not
a
little
gladded
them
,
knowing
where
they
had
arriued
,
for
Claramant
greatly
desired
to
sée
that
Court
,
so
famoused
through
the
world
.
Being
on
land
,
they
mounted
vpon
mightie
horses
,
which
Galtenor
had
prouided
them
,
with
a
shield
for
Trebatios
sonne
,
and
so
tooke
their
iourney
toward
Constantinople
,
hearing
by
the
way
of
the
proofe
of
the
disamorous
Tower
:
the
discourse
whereof
,
Claridiano
tolde
his
vncle
,
which
was
the
greater
motion
to
stirre
him
to
the
triall
.
Whereto
his
Cousin
said
.
And
it
comes
well
to
passe
,
that
the
earth
may
know
,
how
both
by
land
and
sea
,
you
are
Mars
his
fauorite
:
but
I
would
not
for
the
world
,
be
there
knowne
,
for
being
banisht
by
my
swéete
enemie
from
her
deare
presence
,
I
should
not
well
obey
her
commaund
,
so
to
disclose
my selfe
.
Thus
treating
of
this
matter
,
and
of
Roselias
straunge
inchauntment
,
iudging
it
the
haughtiest
euer
heard
of
,
Claramant
began
in
this
manner
.
It
would
reioyce
my
very
soule
,
to
know
that
famous
knight
,
called
of
the
Sunne
,
for
as
I
suppose
,
we
were
all
vanquisht
by
him
,
and
the
glorie
of
that
great
aduenture
solely
attributed
to
him
.
Because
I
imagine
you
will
bee
glad
to
knowe
who
he
is
,
(
replied
Claridiano
)
knowe
,
it
is
the
Emperor
of
Trebezound
,
whom
the
heauens
decréed
to
be
my
father
.
I
am
excéeding
glad
thereof
,
(
said
Claramant
)
and
sure
I
was
,
so
valiant
a
sonne
could
not
but
procéede
from
so
glorious
a
father
.
But
I
also
desire
to
know
who
those
thrée
knights
were
,
that
kept
the
arches
of
the
Tower
in
the
sea
:
for
beléeue
me
,
they
are
the
flower
of
Armes
.
Two
of
them
(
replied
the
Prince
)
I
can
tell
you
of
,
the
one
Bembo
by
name
,
King
of
Achaya
,
and
Lord
Generall
of
the
Souldans
Fléete
:
the
other
is
a
most
strong
Pagan
,
King
of
Mauritania
,
and
mortall
enemie
to
the
Gréekes
.
The
last
,
yet
séeming
of
a
bigger
constitution
of
composed
members
,
I
knowe
not
,
sauing
that
it
was
he
which
in
our
companie
proued
Rosilias
inchantment
,
being
he
we
met
in
the
Forrest
,
in
battell
against
the
Emperor
my
father
:
But
the
time
is
long
,
and
we
may
end
any
particular
combat
,
for
I
no
lesse
desire
it
then
you
,
since
I
crost
him
on
the
seas
,
when
I
defended
your
ladder
.
In
this
conuersation
they
came
vnto
a
cleare
riuer
of
fresh
bubbling
water
,
which
inuited
them
to
find
out
his
spring
,
to
passe
away
the
heate
of
the
afternoone
,
for
the
Sunne
hauing
progrest
halfe
his
course
,
had
alreadie
dried
the
moysture
of
the
earth
.
Within
a
while
they
found
a
faire
Fountaine
,
where
they
allighted
,
both
to
wash
their
faces
,
and
take
such
repast
as
Pollisandros
prouision
affoorded
.
Thus
they
droue
away
the
time
with
some
content
,
for
Claridiano
for
his
vncles
sake
controwled
his
greefes
,
when
his
Ladies
remembrance
troubled
him
.
So
béeing
desirous
to
take
a
nappe
,
they
parted
a
litle
one
from
the
other
to
sléep
.
Short
it
was
,
for
the
Musicke
of
a
swéete
voyce
awaked
them
at
once
.
Wherevpon
Claridiano
said
.
Haue
you
euer
heard
(
braue
Knight
)
more
swéet
harmonie
?
Beléeue
me
,
we
haue
met
with
some
good
entertainment
,
for
he
that
sings
,
in
my
opinion
,
should
liue
by
being
in
loue
.
We
may
not
leaue
the
enioying
of
so
swéete
a
note
.
So
they
rose
togither
,
and
putting
on
their
helmes
,
tooke
their
shields
and
followed
the
sound
they
heard
,
and
then
ceased
.
They
came
vnto
a
little
groue
beset
with
loftie
Pynes
,
there
saw
they
a
shepheard
,
of
the
fairest
disposition
in
the
world
:
and
so
beautifull
,
that
his
sight
wold
haue
made
him
enuious
that
kept
Admetus
flockes
.
He
séemed
to
be
very
young
,
holding
a
Recorder
in
his
hand
,
to
whose
sound
tuning
his
voyce
,
he
sung
his
soules
gréefe
vnto
those
sencelesse
trées
.
Credit
me
,
Prince
of
Grecia
,
(
said
Claramant
)
that
some
chance
in
Loue
hath
made
him
so
disguise
himselfe
:
for
although
there
be
gallant
shepheards
about
these
and
other
fields
,
yet
this
his
tender
behauiors
showes
,
he
hath
not
béene
brought
vp
to
tend
shéepe
.
Let
vs
attend
him
(
replied
Claridiano
)
for
hee
himselfe
will
resolue
this
our
doubt
.
They
néeded
not
much
perswasion
to
make
them
listen
,
for
the
swéetnesse
wherewith
he
sounded
his
Instrument
,
was
sufficient
to
mooue
,
as
did
the
Thracian
Poet
his
melodie
,
which
when
he
ended
,
he
warbled
foorth
this
Elegie
.
Great
must
needs
be
the
greef
,
extreme
must
needs
be
the
torments
Which
I
do
feele
while
I
want
(
faire
Polinarda
)
thy
sight
:
Esteeming
thy
sweet
presence
my
sole
happines
in
life
,
How
may
thy
long
absence
but
be
a
death
to
my
heart
?
On
this
staie
yet
I
liue
,
in
thy
disgrace
that
I
liue
not
,
For
then
in
endles
plagues
damned
I
were
to
perish
:
Rather
as
one
whose
sincere
Loue
was
kindly
regarded
,
On
the
highest
heau'ns-spheare
placed
I
was
by
thy
hand
:
Golden
dayes
were
those
.
But
now
dispoiled
of
all
blisse
Like
sad
Bellerophon
,
ioyles
I
wander
alone
.
In
darknesse
I
do
straie
,
missing
thy
Sunne
to
direct
me
,
My
day
to
night
turnde
is
,
my
delite
into
laments
.
Vexed
thus
though
I
am
:
Complaine
on
thee
yet
I
cannot
,
Of
thee
(
Ladie
diuine
)
for
loue
I
had
loue
againe
.
Spightfull
Fortune
it
is
,
that
of
all
ioyes
hath
me
bereaued
,
And
with
deadly
malice
crost
me
with
heauy
mishaps
.
Distrest
by
Fortune
,
yet
neuer
will
I
be
daunted
,
Maugre
her
,
and
her
force
,
will
I
loue
,
and
be
belou'd
:
Enuious
ill
Fortune
cannot
compell
me
to
dispaire
,
When
she
hath
her
worst
done
,
then
can
I
be
but
a
wretch
.
Then
when
I
most
am
a
wretch
,
most
constant
shal
be
my
hope
then
,
Which
without
her
compasse
firmly
by
faith
I
do
keepe
:
Her
force
will
not
I
feare
,
nor
seeke
for
her
helpe
that
I
lou'd
be
Oh
fayrest
of
fayres
,
on
thee
alone
I
depend
:
In
presence
was
I
lou'd
,
and
shal
be
I
doubt
not
in
absence
(
Lady
,
in
whom
vertue
like
to
thy
bewtie
shineth
,
Constant
as
comely
)
.
Bur
alas
,
that
I
must
like
a
Pilgrime
Wander
a
whole
age
thus
through
regions
so
remote
,
Kingdomes
farre
distant
,
where
I
wish
in
vaine
to
behold
thee
,
Where
new
sprung
dangers
hourely
delaie
my
returne
From
thy
sight
banished
,
whose
siluer
rayes
be
so
splendent
That
therewith
dazled
,
Cynthia
hideth
her
head
!
Expect
yet
do
I
still
and
that
day
daily
do
looke
for
,
In
thy
sweete
presence
once
yet
againe
to
reioyce
:
Conuerting
sadnesse
to
gladnesse
,
sorrow
to
singing
:
Rapte
in
blisse
,
then
I
shall
perpetually
tryumph
.
In
meane
time
resting
on
this
so
sacred
a
comfort
,
This
thy
want
perforce
with
patience
I
do
beare
,
Till
the
raging
tempest
of
Fortunes
fury
be
ore-blow'n
,
And
I
of
all
turmoyles
shall
haue
a
happie
release
.
No
more
could
the
two
valiant
Gréekes
vnderstand
,
for
the
vehement
grones
that
burst
from
his
soule
,
togither
with
hart-breaking
sighes
,
drowned
the
verie
sound
of
his
words
.
Now
that
he
had
thus
giuen
a
litle
passage
to
his
griefes
,
by
publishing
them
vnto
those
loftie
pynes
,
that
by
bowing
their
spreading
braunches
,
séemed
to
pittie
his
distresse
,
with
a
breathlesse
(
Ay
me
)
he
began
his
laments
in
this
maner
.
Oh
Loue
!
how
extreamly
hast
thou
executed
the
power
of
thy
rygor
on
me
?
Oh
my
tender
yeres
,
eclipsed
in
the
budding
of
your
spring
,
with
the
nipping
winter
of
sower
griefe
:
Iniustly
hast
thou
made
me
an
example
of
the
happiest
Louer
that
euer
was
,
neuer
hauing
against
thy
soueraintie
so
much
as
in
thought
offended
,
nor
yet
in
any
thing
gainsaid
or
contradicted
thy
awfull
power
.
Oh
I
acknowledge
it
,
and
do
confesse
what
happinesse
is
obtained
,
submitting
true
dutie
to
thy
commaund
,
as
to
the
sole
deitie
able
to
giue
life
,
or
swéetest
death
:
and
yet
for
all
thou
art
long
since
assured
with
what
submissiue
humblenesse
I
haue
obeyed
thy
behests
,
and
with
patience
endured
thy
crosses
,
so
dearely
bought
,
at
the
highest
rate
and
price
of
my
content
,
it
pleaseth
thée
,
when
the
soueraigne
Goddesse
of
my
soule
,
would
most
fauour
me
,
to
exile
me
her
presence
by
such
cruell
meanes
.
On
me
,
and
my
poore
heart
,
that
neuer
did
offend
thée
,
hauest
thou
tyrannized
with
all
inhumanitie
,
winking
and
pardoning
the
Conspirators
against
thy
rule
.
What
hast
thou
got
by
absenting
me
from
her
stampt
in
my
liuing
soule
?
wherein
wert
thou
offended
,
when
I
beheld
her
presence
?
were
it
not
I
feare
to
be
accounted
Traytor
vnto
thy
Crowne
and
Principallitie
,
I
would
call
,
and
proclaime
thée
(
ouer
and
besides
that
thou
art
cruell
)
to
be
enuious
:
and
if
not
so
,
that
Iealousie
(
plague
of
mortals
,
and
immortals
)
to
sée
me
loue
and
liue
thereby
,
and
in
recompence
of
so
firme
a
faith
,
to
hope
for
the
glorie
of
being
againe
beloued
,
hath
forced
thée
to
make
me
in
exile
wander
thus
from
that
her
happie
presence
.
I
neuer
haue
séene
tokens
of
a
perfecter
Louer
in
my
life
(
said
Claridiano
)
and
as
I
am
a
Knight
,
if
it
lie
in
mee
to
helpe
him
,
I
will
doo
it
to
the
daunger
of
my
life
.
Of
this
and
more
is
the
Louer
worthie
of
(
answered
his
vncle
)
:
but
I
would
not
haue
had
you
bound
your selfe
vnto
so
much
,
wherby
you
should
omit
your
iourney
to
Constantinople
,
the
which
would
gréeue
my
very
soule
,
especially
loosing
your
company
.
To
doo
so
would
increase
my
sorrow
in
the
highest
degrée
(
said
the
Prince
)
because
our
loue
bindes
vs
to
gréeue
at
others
absence
:
yet
will
not
I
remit
to
procure
his
content
,
that
know
how
to
loue
so
intierly
:
and
it
may
be
,
I
shall
this
way
find
some
measure
for
my
torments
:
knowing
that
her
sight
(
Commandresse
of
my
soule
)
will
but
augment
my
paines
,
by
being
in
disgrace
:
and
what
great
glorie
it
were
to
bee
imbraced
in
her
grace
.
But
go
we
to
him
that
learned
to
loue
,
and
not
feare
the
plague
of
absence
,
for
neuer
yet
did
any
féele
it
,
but
iudged
it
woorse
then
death
.
Let
vs
go
(
replied
the
frée
youth
)
for
it
is
charitie
to
helpe
him
in
al
thinges
.
Wherevpon
they
made
a
little
noyse
,
that
the
carelesse
shepheard
might
heare
their
going
.
With
some
alteration
he
did
rise
,
supposing
some
other
matter
.
But
when
(
by
Mooneshine
)
hee
sawe
those
two
knight
,
the
riches
of
their
armour
,
and
so
gallant
disposition
,
hée
went
to
méete
them
(
beeing
no
lesse
courteous
then
any
)
and
saide
.
What
is
it
you
this
way
séeke
(
braue
knights
?
)
for
although
Fortune
hath
brought
me
to
the
last
poynt
,
to
make
me
dispaire
of
my selfe
,
so
I
may
in
any
thing
worke
your
contents
,
beléeue
mee
,
I
will
be
glad
shee
should
,
for
that
time
lengthen
my
despised
life
,
then
which
I
could
not
be
more
plagued
.
Whereto
Claridiano
made
answere
.
Wee
come
this
knight
and
my selfe
,
to
offer
our
persons
to
procure
your
content
(
courteous
sheppheard
)
if
your
necessities
requires
them
,
the
which
we
shal
hazard
,
with
more
will
then
you
to
imploy
them
.
There
is
no
satisfaction
,
nor
yet
gratefulnesse
,
sufficient
to
ballance
your
most
kinde
offer
(
gallant
Knights
,
replied
the
shepheard
)
but
in
doing
it
,
you
haue
made
known
the
valor
and
magnanimitie
of
your
heroicke
minds
,
whereto
by
bountie
you
were
bound
.
Oh
,
may
Loue
recompence
it
(
if
it
hath
not
bene
possible
to
denie
his
soueraigntie
)
with
more
ioyes
then
I
at
his
hands
haue
receiued
:
but
now
any
comfort
whatsoeuer
,
will
but
augment
my
gréefe
,
the
which
hath
so
far
extended
it selfe
,
that
no
remedy
nor
salue
can
cure
it
.
Then
Claramant
tooke
occasion
thus
.
But
althogh
phisicke
doth
not
alwaies
whole
cure
the
inueterated
Mallady
,
yet
many
oftentimes
it
preuents
,
and
expelles
many
dangerous
accidents
,
that
would
else
excéedingly
aggrauate
the
infirmitie
,
and
so
for
all
it
may
not
now
please
you
to
communicate
it
to
those
that
will
féele
your
sorrow
,
it
will
be
some
consolation
to
sée
them
pittie
it
,
were
it
but
to
be
answered
with
(
take
comfort
,
for
others
haue
bene
vsed
with
like
crueltie
,
and
you
are
not
alone
despised
in
the
world
)
.
It
is
euen
so
,
said
the
amorous
shéepheard
:
for
amongst
all
the
greatest
consolations
inuented
to
mittigate
the
paines
in
loue
,
to
communicate
them
,
is
the
cheefest
:
yet
in
me
to
discouer
them
,
it
is
an
offence
against
the
partie
I
loue
.
But
to
tell
the
torments
I
haue
endured
,
and
what
happinesse
they
had
obtained
,
and
my
extreame
fall
from
that
high
felicitie
,
were
to
wrong
my selfe
in
the
recitall
,
for
it
will
be
but
an
argument
of
little
sufferance
in
me
,
séeing
that
the
least
of
my
suffered
paines
was
sufficient
to
withstand
a
thousand
deathes
:
But
now
to
consider
they
haue
let
me
suruiue
,
oh
,
there
is
no
euill
comparable
to
it
,
nor
none
can
I
deuise
worse
.
For
had
I
then
bene
depriued
of
my
abhorred
life
,
I
shuld
not
haue
bene
so
familiar
with
sower
gréefe
:
yet
to
sée
that
after
the
loosing
of
that
soueraigne
good
,
my
life
doth
still
persecute
me
with
woes
,
that
death
fearing
to
come
neare
them
,
flyes
from
me
when
I
most
do
call
him
:
oh
there
is
no
patient
that
can
endure
this
,
nor
I
haue
power
to
tollerate
it
,
but
with
millions
of
continuall
teares
,
to
bewaile
this
losse
and
my
misfortunes
.
Farther
hée
could
not
proceede
,
for
his
teares
interrupted
him
,
which
so
mooued
the
tender
hearted
Prince
,
that
they
intreated
him
to
make
them
pertakers
of
his
gréefs
,
that
they
might
iudge
whether
he
haue
reason
so
to
gréefe
.
Then
the
shéepheard
said
.
I
am
sure
it
is
good
to
relate
the
tenor
and
processe
of
my
woes
,
vnto
such
Knights
:
yet
my
distressed
soule
refuseth
to
refresh
the
memorie
with
so
many
euilles
:
but
that
you
may
know
how
small
this
my
languishment
is
,
sit
you
down
,
and
you
shall
heare
the
greatest
iniustice
that
euer
was
vsed
towards
any
:
he
being
assured
of
my
faith
,
that
doth
reward
it
not
as
it
deserues
,
but
according
to
his
pleasure
,
as
a
Tyrant
.
They
all
sate
them
downe
vnder
the
couert
of
a
spreading
Oake
,
where
the
Gréekes
put
off
their
Helmes
,
whose
bewties
admyred
the
shéepheard
,
who
with
some
sighes
moouing
them
to
silence
,
he
began
.
Since
you
be
pleased
(
Sir
knights
)
to
haue
me
recount
the
Pilgrimage
of
my
oppressed
life
,
and
who
I
am
:
so
that
séeming
to
receiue
content
thereby
,
I
shall
not
néed
to
intreate
you
to
yéeld
me
that
attencion
,
my
manifold
sorrowes
do
deserue
.
Know
therefore
(
most
Noble
warriors
)
how
that
imperiall
power
that
doth
command
both
Gods
and
men
,
pardoning
none
of
no
kinde
,
I
meane
Loue
,
soueraigne
of
all
soueraignes
,
hath
inforced
me
into
this
disguised
habit
:
And
yet
when
I
ponder
how
extreamely
the
blinde
Goddesse
is
bent
against
me
,
I
finde
my selfe
not
secure
therein
:
for
I
haue
ere
this
bene
honored
,
and
as
a
Prince
acknowledged
,
vntill
my
●●arre-crost
loues
,
exilde
me
through
the
world
.
This
heart-infecting
Deitie
(
gallant
Knights
)
when
in
greatest
pompe
and
iollitie
I
liued
in
Apulia
,
(
whereof
the
Heauens
allotted
me
Prince
)
sent
and
conducted
thither
those
,
whose
tongues
were
tuned
with
the
dulced
notes
of
the
gallantnesse
and
bewtie
of
the
Princesse
of
Lucania
.
With
such
déepe
roote
did
her
faire
name
insert
it self
within
my
frée
thoghts
,
that
it
is
now
impossible
to
leaue
to
loue
her
,
in
that
both
she
and
I
haue
by
a
hidden
grace
,
accorded
in
one
thing
.
But
I
doubt
it
is
the
nature
of
our
climate
,
or
they
that
breathe
therein
,
by
custome
to
bee
subiect
to
like
misfortunes
.
What
shall
I
remember
Hanniball
,
who
had
hee
not
knowne
Apulia
,
then
had
hee
not
beene
insnared
in
this
passion
,
but
béene
Lord
of
Rome
,
and
not
through
loue
,
ouerthrow
his
eternall
honour
,
wonne
with
such
losse
of
his
owne
blood
.
Yet
was
not
this
example
of
any
force
to
diuert
me
from
my
new
imaginations
,
but
rather
in
greatest
haste
I
prepared
my
iourney
towards
Lucania
,
whither
I
went
,
onely
with
a
Page
,
my
horse
and
Armour
,
soly
to
sée
Pollinarda
,
and
if
her
perfections
equalled
the
fame
of
her
bewtie
.
I
arriued
in
time
when
it
most
florished
,
because
the
Court
was
then
full
of
knights
that
serued
her
.
And
in
faith
beleeue
me
,
that
how
far
soeuer
the
report
of
her
prayses
excéeded
beléefe
,
so
farre
and
more
did
I
finde
them
to
limp
behinde
her
excellencies
I
noted
.
In
my
opinion
the
heauens
haue
not
created
a
more
absoluter
bewtie
,
because
Enuie
it selfe
hath
found
no
meanes
to
seize
thereon
,
and
therefore
is
become
the
Herauld
of
her
worthes
.
You
may
think
(
Noble
Sir
)
these
were
new
snares
to
intrap
my
captiue
soule
.
Asumptuous
tryumphe
was
ordained
in
the
Citie
,
which
in
auncient
times
was
called
Frossa
,
which
in
the
Assyrian
tongue
,
signifieth
happy
.
It
was
so
indéed
,
and
euen
from
the
beginning
,
for
she
neuer
had
a
Quéene
,
but
was
also
in
bewtie
so
.
This
occasion
did
Fortune
offer
me
(
oh
she
did
further
me
to
make
my
mishaps
the
greater
)
placing
me
neare
vnto
a
brother
of
hers
:
by
name
Lysander
,
a
knight
both
young
and
valiant
,
and
in
loue
too
with
the
Infant
of
Campania
,
that
in
court
accompanied
the
princesse
Pollinarda
:
high
Solesia
,
no
lesse
bewtifull
then
kinde
,
who
knowing
how
she
was
beloued
,
wold
not
ill
repay
Lysanders
faith
,
and
so
the
gallant
liued
in
some
respects
assured
of
his
hopes
.
Oh
,
yet
neuer
had
any
full
assurance
,
if
he
still
will
be
amorous
.
On
the
aduerse
part
,
was
Leader
,
the
valiant
Prince
of
Calabria
,
Agesilao
by
name
,
the
happiest
that
I
knew
,
in
that
without
the
panges
of
passions
,
and
soules
afflictions
,
he
obtained
to
be
beloued
of
Pollinarda
,
and
in
such
open
manner
,
that
the
whole
popularitie
did
know
it
.
It
did
not
gréeue
my
Ladies
father
,
but
rather
it
so
pleased
him
,
that
in
open
shew
he
exprest
it
,
which
more
animated
the
Lady
to
grace
him
with
new
fauours
,
which
were
sharpe
poynted
daggers
,
stucke
in
the
heart
of
wofull
Florisiano
,
for
so
am
I
named
.
Oh
it
could
not
be
lesse
,
beholding
with
my
owne
eyes
my
own
sorrow
.
At
length
the
Iousts
began
,
wherein
my
starres
vouchsafed
a
little
to
aduance
me
,
which
did
attract
Lysanders
affection
,
with
such
true
zeale
,
that
there
cannot
bee
firmer
friendship
then
that
hee
hath
shewen
me
:
yea
,
although
against
his
sister
.
The
whole
multitude
turned
their
gazing
eyes
on
my
deuice
,
which
was
,
blew
armes
,
crost
with
yeallow
barres
.
It
accorded
to
the
ill
my
iealous
soule
endured
.
On
my
shéeld
was
portrayed
suspition
in
her
naturall
colour
,
as
in
auncient
times
she
was
paynted
,
bearing
a
scrowle
,
with
this
word
.
Wisely
,
who
can
her
despise
,
That
onely
doth
employ
her
eyes
To
spie
out
Loues
subtilties
.
There
was
no
Ladie
in
the
place
,
but
noted
my
iealous
colours
,
and
so
(
as
I
after
vnderstood
)
some
that
were
more
pittifull
,
prayed
for
my
victorie
:
which
maketh
me
think
their
orizons
and
good
will
abode
me
the
honour
of
the
iousts
.
So
Lysander
(
that
greatly
affected
me
)
and
I
,
cleared
the
place
,
that
none
wold
more
aduenture
:
and
hauing
don
,
yet
did
I
not
disclose
my selfe
,
neither
to
him
nor
any
other
,
although
the
King
himselfe
was
very
importunate
to
know
me
:
onely
this
they
got
,
that
I
was
called
the
iealous
Knight
.
Sure
I
am
,
that
my
Ladie
béeing
so
busied
with
Agesilao
,
shee
did
not
note
my
déeds
,
but
rather
(
for
it
was
told
me
)
she
was
displeased
,
that
I
vnknown
,
had
vnhorsed
her
Louer
in
the
Liftes
.
Néedes
would
the
Prince
Lysander
haue
mee
to
his
owne
lodging
,
professing
himself
so
intier
a
friend
,
that
he
hath
wonne
me
to
the
death
:
the
which
I
will
gladly
receiue
,
to
procure
his
content
.
In
greater
bonds
did
he
tie
me
,
altogither
expressing
his
much
noblenesse
,
by
discouering
vnto
me
,
the
sinceritie
of
his
loue
towards
Solefia
,
Infant
of
Campania
.
I
could
not
but
highly
estéeme
of
the
trust
he
reposed
in
me
,
being
but
a
Knight
,
possessing
nought
but
armour
and
horse
.
He
intreated
me
to
accompanie
him
that
night
in
a
Maske
,
because
the
king
his
father
in
honour
of
the
iousts
,
feasted
all
the
Princes
with
shews
and
reuellings
.
It
pleased
me
in
my
soule
,
in
that
I
shuld
behold
her
presence
that
gouerned
my
heart
.
In
two
long
robes
of
cloth
of
golde
we
issued
,
masked
:
yet
would
not
I
go
so
vnprouided
,
but
that
I
had
on
a
priuie
coate
,
which
in
my
wandring
daies
I
vsed
,
bearing
armes
.
In
this
manner
we
entered
the
Pallace
,
when
the
reuels
began
.
Euery
Ladie
that
had
her
gallant
there
,
fauoured
him
,
to
daunce
with
him
.
Of
these
was
my
deare
friend
Lysander
one
,
whose
Mistresse
was
attired
in
the
same
colour
that
we
were
.
They
daunced
with
such
grace
,
that
Cupid
himselfe
could
not
but
like
it
.
Next
to
him
,
did
Agesilao
take
Pollinarda
Princesse
of
beautie
,
by
the
hand
.
I
cannot
denie
what
the
heauens
had
imparted
them
,
for
their
grace
and
Maiestie
,
admired
all
the
Hall
.
Many
excellent
changes
and
tricks
they
vsed
,
yet
the
iealous
passion
of
my
gréeued
soule
stirred
vp
more
in
my
face
,
by
comming
and
going
of
my
running
colour
.
Had
not
my
friende
bene
there
,
rather
then
I
would
haue
suffered
it
,
my
heart
vpon
a
two
edged
sword
should
haue
bene
split
,
or
I
reuenged
.
The
beloued
youth
was
famoused
to
be
an
excellent
Musitian
,
as
indéed
he
was
.
So
his
Lady
(
or
rather
espouse
,
for
her
father
had
agreed
thereto
)
gaue
him
a
Lute
to
play
thereon
.
Hee
accepted
it
,
(
for
he
was
fully
bent
to
performe
her
will
)
and
began
to
touch
it
with
more
swéeter
musicke
then
hee
that
descended
to
the
infernall
Vaultes
to
fetch
his
wife
.
Then
with
a
cleare
voice
he
warbled
forth
this
Dittie
,
the
which
my
memorie
carried
away
,
the
more
to
increase
my
paine
.
That
brow
,
which
doth
with
faire
all
faires
excell
,
Those
eyes
that
shining
lends
the
world
his
light
,
That
gracious
mouth
where
all
the
Graces
dwell
,
That
dimpled
chin
,
the
whetstone
of
delight
,
Those
two
rare
Mounts
,
of
Lillies
and
of
Roses
,
That
in
their
swelling
,
all
content
encloses
.
That
brow
,
eye
,
mouth
,
chin
,
and
most
daintie
cheeke
,
Doth
call
,
keepe
,
hold
,
bind
,
and
in
giues
restraine
My
heart
,
eye
,
eare
,
my
thought
,
and
iudgement
,
eeke
,
That
no
wise
force
,
can
free
me
thence
againe
.
Yet
do
I
loue
my
pleasing
paine
so
well
,
That
boue
all
ioyes
,
I
prize
my
heauenly
hell
.
Let
dunghill
basenesse
and
the
earthy
mind
,
His
summum
bonum
place
in
what
he
list
:
My
soule
(
which
strange
diuinitie
doth
find
)
Within
thy
faces
centure
to
consist
:
Will
not
consent
that
any
other
bee
My
onely
good
,
but
onely
,
onely
thee
.
Thy
brow
,
shall
be
the
dreadfull
snowy
Barre
,
Where
I
will
daylie
for
thy
mercie
plead
:
Thy
shyning
eye
,
my
path-directing
starre
,
Thy
mouth
,
the
Lawes
,
which
I
must
keepe
,
shall
read
.
Thy
chin
and
cheeke
,
shall
equall
power
beare
:
The
first
to
cheere
,
the
last
to
keepe
in
feare
.
And
thou
thy selfe
,
(
Goddesse
of
my
desire
)
In
my
Hearts
temple
,
dayly
I
le
adore
,
No
other
Deitie
will
I
admire
,
No
other
power
diuine
,
will
I
implore
:
Great
Goddesse
keepe
me
,
in
thy
fauour
shine
,
My
heart
,
eye
,
eare
,
my
thought
and
iudgements
thine
.
Thus
did
he
runne
vpon
the
treble
with
such
heauenly
melodie
,
that
had
he
not
bene
Agesilao
that
sung
,
beléeue
me
braue
knight
,
I
would
haue
liked
it
:
but
being
done
by
the
enemie
to
my
rest
,
it
was
worse
then
hell
vnto
mine
eyes
,
that
saw
it
.
And
in
faith
,
his
song
was
but
the
méere
truth
,
although
she
was
too
cruell
towards
him
,
yet
was
I
the
cause
,
as
I
shal
tell
you
.
No
imperfection
was
noted
in
the
continuance
of
his
Harmonie
:
So
hauing
done
,
he
laide
by
his
Lute
,
the
which
the
Princesse
bequeathed
to
Solesia
,
who
in
compassion
of
my
(
as
shee
thought
)
ill
placed
affection
,
warbled
out
this
cold
comfort
.
Feare
not
faint-heart
,
Tyme
may
prooue
A
soueraigne
plaister
for
your
Loue
.
Such
a
faith
so
firmely
grounded
,
Such
a
Loue
so
kindly
placed
:
From
a
Heart
so
deepely
wounded
,
From
a
person
so
well

Needs
must
get
the
Hearts
desiring
,
Though
hope
,
yet
seeme
not
to
say
it
.
And
though
this
Tyme

retyring

Tyme
heereafter

Feare

A

I
did
not
conceiue
the
meaning
of
her
conceit
,
vntill
I
vnderstood
shee
did
suspect
I
affected
her
Couzen
,
and
so
to
put
mee
in
hope
(
being
glad
I
accompanied
her
Louer
)
shee
animated
me
,
with
that
I
did
requite
it
,
when
it
pleased
Loue
to
do
by
me
,
as
by
then
assuring
her
how
intierly
she
was
beloued
of
my
friend
,
whereof
I
had
experience
,
in
the
many
daies
I
continued
in
Lucania
.
I
thinke
Lysander
did
perceiue
the
affection
I
bore
his
sister
,
yet
hee
shewed
him
so
like
a
Knight
,
that
he
not
only
dissembled
it
,
but
séemed
to
reioyce
,
&
wish
my
hopes
might
take
place
,
if
that
the
Callabrian
had
not
bin
them
betwéen
.
But
being
no
longer
able
to
indure
the
pestiferous
plague
of
iealousie
,
on
the
foure
Gates
of
the
Cittie
,
I
secretly
caused
so
many
shieldes
to
be
set
vp
,
wheron
,
vnder
an
vnknowne
name
,
I
named
my self
maintainer
of
the
ring
,
an
exercise
and
pastime
much
vsed
in
that
land
,
by
reason
it
is
near
vnto
the
Spanish
soyle
,
whose
nation
,
challengeth
the
sole
preheminence
ouer
this
exercise
,
as
skilfullest
and
principall
Authors
thereof
.
No
knight
in
the
Cittie
would
admit
it
,
séeing
the
Callabrian
did
refuse
it
,
vnlesse
I
did
expresse
my
name
,
the
which
,
in
that
I
could
not
do
without
danger
of
my
life
,
I
graunted
notwithstanding
,
that
any
should
openly
defend
Pollinardas
beautie
,
which
I
by
another
name
couertly
maintained
.
Therevpon
Agesilao
presently
subscribed
,
and
and
after
him
many
prepared
to
winne
at
the
ring
.
The
day
béeing
come
,
you
may
thinke
(
braue
knights
)
he
would
shew
himselfe
in
the
richest
manner
he
could
,
as
a
Prince
so
famous
and
happie
.
So
did
the
Ladie
attired
all
in
white
,
adding
such
vertue
to
her
excellencies
,
that
had
I
not
béen
inurde
to
suffer
discontented
paines
,
my
perplexed
heart
would
haue
burst
.
The
sport
beganne
,
wherein
hee
behaued
himselfe
according
to
his
Ladies
fauors
,
with
which
it
had
not
béene
much
,
hee
had
performed
much
more
.
There
were
wee
,
my
friend
Lysander
and
my selfe
I
meane
,
in
seuerall
colours
,
for
his
attire
was
gréene
,
imbrodered
with
Artechokes
of
golde
,
manifesting
a
maiesticke
minde
.
But
I
still
with
iealousie
tormented
,
durst
not
but
differ
from
him
,
apparrelled
in
yellow
,
laced
with
blew
and
golde
,
and
mounted
on
a
mightie
Courser
,
which
from
Apulia
I
had
brought
.
My
companions
posie
agréed
with
his
content
.
My
hearts
heart
,
likes
my
heart
,
and
I
againe
,
Like
my
hearts
heart
,
so
both
content
remaine
.
His
Lady
well
vnderstood
it
,
for
she
tendered
him
as
her
soule
.
Mine
was
dispairing
in
this
manner
.
Dispaire
,
I
yeeld
,
sith
all
things
do
agree
,
Into
thy
clawes
,
to
driue
dispairing
me
.
Valiant
was
the
gallant
Lysander
,
to
whom
I
granted
the
first
course
,
whose
prize
he
wonne
,
which
was
a
Pelican
,
by
nature
cruell
to
himself
,
onely
to
become
kinde
to
his
kinde
.
It
,
did
Solesia
receiue
with
greater
ioy
,
then
I
possessed
,
séeing
my
Ladies
bewtie
so
ill
defended
:
yet
was
I
reuiued
in
my
drouping
thoghts
,
hearing
how
all
the
multitude
adiudged
Pollinarda
stil
to
be
fairest
.
After
him
I
took
my
turne
,
wherin
the
heauens
so
aided
me
,
that
at
euery
carreire
,
I
tooke
the
ring
on
my
lances
point
.
Then
in
signe
of
victorie
,
I
had
a
Crowne
of
golde
deliuered
me
.
They
could
not
haue
giuen
me
a
thing
the
more
might
please
me
at
that
occasion
,
for
I
had
an
other
ready
made
of
purpose
to
present
her
,
if
I
issued
victor
.
Making
my
horse
set
his
knées
on
the
ground
,
I
presented
them
both
,
but
about
my
prepared
Coronet
,
I
had
caused
to
be
engrauen
this
posie
.
Well
deserues
her
head
a
Crowne
,
Who
Crownes
with
praise
all
womankind
:
Therefore
,
Loue
hath
sent
me
downe
,
As
token
of
his
louing
mind
,
A
Crowne
,
to
Crowne
the
Crowne
of
Nature
,
Soueraigne
of
all
earthly
feature
.
Neare
me
was
Agesilao
,
when
I
presented
the
prizes
.
He
presently
suspected
I
was
hee
that
had
vanquished
the
Iousts
in
the
same
colour
,
since
when
he
noted
it
by
many
occasions
,
as
also
how
I
affected
his
lady
.
So
trusting
to
many
friends
and
kinsfolkes
he
had
in
the
place
,
yet
chéefely
thinking
I
was
vnarmed
,
and
being
spurred
with
a
iealous
frenzie
,
he
stepped
to
me
,
so
did
my
friend
,
suspecting
there
would
be
some
hurliburly
:
He
thus
said
.
I
know
not
knight
,
whereon
thou
hast
grounded
thy
presumption
,
so
to
deliuer
the
pryzes
in
such
preiudiciall
maner
.
Wherupon
to
mooue
him
,
I
replied
.
To
sée
how
ill
the
excellent
bewtie
of
this
soueraigne
princesse
is
defended
:
for
if
acccordingly
some
were
so
rewarded
with
fauour
,
you
might
with
as
great
right
go
without
it
,
as
an
other
that
I
know
.
He
was
bolde
of
his
vallor
,
and
being
toucht
to
the
quick
,
he
drew
his
sword
against
me
.
He
had
got
nothing
by
the
aduenture
,
for
sauing
my
head
,
I
was
else
all
armed
,
and
with
mine
in
my
hande
,
at
two
steppes
I
was
within
him
,
so
neare
,
that
he
had
not
satisfied
his
boldnesse
with
lesse
then
his
life
:
but
we
were
separated
by
the
standers
by
,
that
it
procéeded
no
farther
then
in
words
.
Euery
one
blamed
him
,
which
incouraged
me
(
without
respect
of
displeasing
my
Lady
)
to
challenge
,
&
cast
him
my
honors
gage
,
as
a
warning
he
should
be
alwaies
prouided
,
against
wheresoeuer
we
met
.
We
departed
thence
,
and
I
so
angred
,
that
I
thought
it
long
til
I
incountred
him
.
Now
the
Reuels
of
that
night
being
ended
,
the
two
were
contracted
with
the
Fathers
publike
consent
:
and
the
houre
of
rest
approached
,
euery
one
withdrew
into
his
lodging
,
so
that
Agesilao
possest
with
excesse
of
ioy
,
and
forgetting
my
challenge
,
he
closely
with
two
men
got
him
vnder
his
Ladies
window
,
where
,
knowing
what
pleasure
she
receiued
with
his
Musicke
,
he
played
this
Dittie
vppon
his
Lute
.
What
ere
he
is
that
would
behold
,
Imperious
Cupids
sporting
place
:
Here
to
gaze
,
let
him
be
bold
,
On
this
bewteous
comely
grace
.
Here
doth
rarest
bewtie
dwell
,
On
her
brow
doth
Cupid
sit
:
This
is
she
that
doth
excell
,
Both
for
her
bewtie
,
loue
and
wit
.
In
her
Cupid
taketh
rest
,
Ioy
and
blisse
with
her
haue
end
:
Who
knoweth
her
,
is
double
blest
,
Whose
bewtie
day
,
to
night
doth
lend
.
My
rage
swelling
heart
,
could
not
suffer
him
to
procéed
farther
,
for
with
more
fury
then
my
feare
would
allow
,
I
rusht
vpon
him
,
saying
:
The
time
and
place
doeth
now
fit
(
discourteous
Prince
)
that
the
death
of
one
of
vs
shall
testifie
the
vallor
of
the
other
.
I
being
alone
,
and
himselfe
accompanied
with
two
,
made
them
the
bolder
all
thrée
to
assaile
me
:
I
refused
them
not
,
but
valiantly
put
my selfe
among
them
:
I
mortally
wounded
one
,
which
gaue
me
way
the
sooner
to
méet
with
the
vnhappie
Prince
,
who
so
litle
liued
to
enioy
his
louing
hopes
:
for
driuing
him
before
me
til
he
was
vnder
his
Mistresse
window
,
with
a
strong
thrust
I
ranne
him
through
:
where
the
blinde
Goddesse
of
Chaunce
,
séemed
yet
to
fauour
him
,
as
to
be
stucke
to
his
Ladies
wall
.
At
the
last
grone
wherewith
he
yéelded
his
soule
,
I
heard
another
,
the
fearfullest
,
that
euer
before
or
since
I
heard
,
because
it
procéeded
from
Pollinarda
.
It
so
daunted
me
,
that
I
had
like
to
haue
bene
taken
,
all
the
knights
guard
,
with
others
,
being
thither
come
.
As
secretly
as
I
might
I
shrunke
away
,
til
I
had
time
to
set
my
safetie
on
my
féete
,
getting
to
my
Lodging
,
saying
nothing
of
what
had
happened
vnto
my
friend
,
yet
had
he
questioned
me
about
it
,
he
could
not
but
haue
perceiued
it
.
What
else
befel
,
the
next
Chapter
shall
rehearse
.
CHAP.
XXVIII
.
How
the
Prince
of
Apulia
,
with
much
pitie
continued
the
discourse
of
his
life
vnto
the
Greeke
Princes
.
TO
proue
how
many
daungers
,
and
perillous
inconueniences
the
disordinate
passion
of
inconsiderate
Loue
doth
cause
,
there
shall
néede
no
arguments
nor
preambles
of
large
discourses
to
auerre
it
:
for
the
experience
that
euery
one
sustaines
by
paines
and
griefes
thereof
,
togither
with
the
opinion
of
that
famous
Philosopher
that
said
:
If
this
disordered
Motiue
of
intemperate
and
furious
motions
,
had
not
bene
indengered
in
the
breasts
of
mortalls
,
as
some
plague
and
scourge
for
euils
,
infinit
and
Capitall
deadly
crimes
had
neuer
bene
committed
,
nor
imagined
.
Well
is
this
saying
confirmed
by
the
vnhappy
death
of
the
Calabrian
prince
,
at
the
hands
of
the
Apulian
Florisiano
:
who
with
equal
grace
and
griefe
,
prosecuted
the
tenor
of
his
woes
thus
.
The
bitter
exclamatios
that
sounded
in
the
Pallace
(
braue
knights
)
and
the
hurliburly
of
the
Citie
,
séemed
no
lesse
,
then
had
it
bene
round
begirt
with
enemies
.
Dead
as
he
was
,
he
was
carried
to
the
Lady
,
so
she
gaue
in
charge
,
for
louing
him
so
dearly
in
his
life
,
she
would
not
in
his
death
forsake
him
.
She
did
lamentably
bewaile
ouer
the
murthered
Corpes
,
when
I
disguised
came
thither
,
for
I
could
not
but
go
and
sée
her
,
of
whose
sorrow
I
had
bene
the
causer
.
Oh
cruell
heauens
(
said
the
wofull
Ladie
)
with
what
barbarous
immanitie
haue
you
extended
your
rygorous
power
on
me
,
more
then
on
any
Ladie
else
?
Oh
Sauadge
and
inhumane
wretch
,
murtherer
of
my
soule
,
may
it
be
there
shall
want
Iustice
,
where
such
bloodie
déedes
haue
abounded
?
Ay
me
vnfortunate
Prince
,
how
cruelly
in
thy
tender
yeares
art
thou
by
an
vntimely
death
persecuted
.
A
thousand
times
did
she
sound
vpon
the
deceased
Truncke
,
holding
it
in
her
lappe
.
So
extreame
were
my
passions
(
Syr
knights
)
that
to
sée
him
in
that
manner
,
I
almost
became
iealous
,
iudging
I
had
fauoured
him
,
by
so
sheading
of
his
blood
,
that
in
death
(
were
it
not
sencelesse
)
to
enioy
so
swéete
a
fauour
.
Considering
my
great
intyer
loue
,
my
state
for
his
I
would
haue
chaunged
.
By
little
and
little
I
approached
so
neare
her
,
that
lifting
vp
her
eyes
,
she
met
with
him
that
was
cause
of
all
her
sorrowe
:
shée
supposing
it
,
cried
out
aloude
and
saide
:
Why
doo
you
suffer
the
bloodie
murtherer
with
such
presumption
to
appeare
thus
before
the
murthered
?
Oh
Gods
,
sufficient
strength
,
did
I
then
desire
,
sufficiently
to
be
reuenged
.
Some
of
the
dead
Princies
Allyes
,
did
suddainly
arise
,
which
forced
me
without
farther
regard
,
to
shewe
my selfe
guiltie
of
the
fact
by
drawing
my
weapons
.
Aboue
fortie
swords
did
presently
flie
about
mine
eares
.
The
Pillers
of
the
yarde
(
whither
I
was
got
following
Pollinarda
)
defended
my
backe
,
whereby
hauing
slaine
thrée
or
foure
,
the
rest
with
feare
retired
,
giuing
me
leaue
to
returne
vnto
the
place
where
the
Ladie
continued
her
laments
.
There
I
said
I
would
yeelde
both
my selfe
and
my
weapons
into
the
Princesse
hand
.
So
ioyfully
I
resolued
to
accompany
the
dead
prince
,
to
please
the
Ladie
,
and
therevpon
taking
my
sword
by
the
point
,
prostrated
on
my
knées
,
I
said
:
Most
excellent
Ladie
,
if
any
offence
hath
bene
committed
,
it
hath
beene
with
this
,
wherewith
you
may
take
what
reuenge
you
will
on
mée
,
that
was
the
executioner
thereof
.
Beléeue
me
(
heroicke
knights
)
there
is
no
crueltie
like
to
that
,
kindled
within
the
breast
of
an
angry
woman
,
peremptorily
resolued
,
for
so
she
may
haue
her
will
,
no
life
she
doth
respect
.
She
tooke
the
sword
,
and
with
inraged
courage
,
she
offered
to
execute
what
I
had
accounted
my
happinesse
,
so
she
were
contented
:
but
her
strength
fayled
her
in
the
execution
of
the
blow
,
falling
after
the
blade
in
a
traunce
,
whose
point
scratching
my
Front
,
did
let
foorth
my
blood
.
And
though
greater
wounds
then
that
I
had
not
felt
,
yet
that
I
noted
,
when
the
Lady
returning
to
her selfe
,
I
spied
my
deare
blood
on
her
face
,
as
the
spoyles
of
her
intent
.
A
sufficient
marke
was
that
(
braue
knights
)
to
asswage
the
greatest
paine
.
Millions
of
thankes
gaue
I
Fortune
for
it
,
attributing
that
hap
to
her
:
for
being
so
rare
,
it
could
not
but
procéed
from
such
a
blinde
distributresse
of
vnexpected
benefits
.
I
had
no
power
to
defend
me
from
those
that
assailed
me
,
being
weaponlesse
,
who
had
giuen
me
a
thousand
deaths
,
much
more
one
,
but
that
my
friend
and
faithfull
Lysander
,
arriued
at
the
instant
,
who
drawing
his
sword
,
approued
his
friendship
to
be
great
,
by
shielding
me
from
a
shamefull
death
,
though
not
from
a
rygorous
prison
,
where
the
King
commaunded
me
that
night
to
be
cast
in
,
shewing
himselfe
to
be
most
excéedingly
angry
and
gréeued
.
You
may
easily
suppose
(
woorthie
Syrs
)
what
I
might
féele
,
being
in
that
sort
imprisoned
,
especially
,
when
the
next
day
I
was
adiudged
in
the
open
place
to
bee
beheaded
.
I
did
not
so
much
sorrowe
to
be
ledde
to
die
,
as
to
depart
in
my
Ladies
disgrace
.
Who
moste
like
an
eager
Tyger
of
Hyrcania
,
stil
cryed
and
yelled
out
for
reuenge
.
But
it
pleased
my
inconstant
chance
,
(
from
whence
I
gather
,
I
was
reserued
to
suffer
greater
paines
)
that
I
should
knowe
my
Iaylor
,
being
a
knight
both
gentle
and
kinde
,
whom
by
deserts
I
had
bound
to
pleasure
me
:
for
in
former
times
,
I
had
no
lesse
saued
him
then
his
life
,
defending
it
from
them
that
would
haue
spilt
it
.
Hee
much
encouraged
me
:
saying
,
he
would
for
my
sake
vndertake
any
perill
,
béeing
thereto
long
since
indebted
.
His
kindnesse
did
much
comfort
me
,
although
I
neuer
imagined
to
steale
from
prison
,
for
all
he
would
haue
set
mee
at
libertie
,
for
I
was
resolued
to
die
louing
her
,
by
that
meanes
working
my
Ladies
content
,
that
she
might
sée
I
suffered
the
deserued
punishment
,
on
me
inflicted
for
so
displeasing
her
.
I
onely
intreated
him
,
by
the
amitie
and
loue
I
had
once
shewen
him
,
séeing
my
death
was
not
to
be
auoyded
,
and
that
I
might
leaue
the
world
contently
,
he
should
procure
the
deliuerie
of
a
letter
from
me
to
my
Ladie
,
for
it
would
be
my
latest
happinesse
.
He
had
before
that
(
noble
knights
)
heard
mee
complaine
,
and
vtter
my
true
harts
sorrow
,
togither
with
the
cause
thereof
:
which
made
him
bid
me
write
,
for
he
would
with
his
owne
hand
conuey
it
to
hers
,
and
also
get
me
an
aunswere
.
To
which
courtesie
I
replied
.
Had
I
much
more
done
for
you
then
I
haue
(
sir
knight
)
this
your
kind
offer
is
a
sufficient
satisfaction
for
the
same
,
binding
me
anew
(
ouer
and
aboue
your
loue
)
to
procure
your
content
in
any
thing
I
may
:
to
effect
which
desire
,
oh
would
I
had
a
long
life
,
that
a
déed
so
rare
and
in
such
distresse
offered
and
performed
,
might
with
sufficient
recompence
bee
guerdoned
.
Thus
animated
I
writ
my
letter
,
whose
coppie
I
haue
about
mee
,
the
which
,
though
it
may
séeme
troublesome
to
you
,
I
wil
read
,
togither
with
the
answere
:
and
then
you
will
say
,
I
haue
reason
to
complaine
.
He
drew
his
letter
,
and
opening
it
with
a
sigh
,
hee
reade
it
thus
.
Florisianos
Letter
to
Pollinarda
.
NOt
without
fear
(
most
soueraigne
Princesse
of
Lucania
)
euen
at
the
last
moment
of
my
life
,
do
I
presume
to
write
,
not
intreating
that
I
may
liue
,
for
that
,
nor
the
intiernesse
of
my
Loue
to
your
seruice
,
will
permit
it
,
nor
yet
can
I
perswade
my selfe
it
would
sort
to
any
good
effect
,
because
I
am
the
petitioner
:
for
although
it
sometimes
passed
throgh
my
pensiue
thoughts
to
demaund
it
,
to
imploy
the
same
to
your
content
,
It
presently
vanisheth
like
ayre
,
with
remembrance
of
the
vnhappie
successe
of
your
distressed
Louers
vntimely
fall
.
And
although
my
fault
may
haue
some
hope
of
pardon
,
beeing
committed
through
the
aboundance
of
pure
Loue
,
yet
is
it
crost
,
because
it
was
against
thee
,
when
I
onely
should
haue
dissembled
my
paine
,
and
not
(
procuring
to
asswage
it
)
increase
thine
in
the
highest
degree
.
But
I
am
resolued
to
die
,
seeing
you
and
my
misfortunes
,
will
haue
,
and
haue
ordained
it
so
.
I
do
not
offend
,
beseeching
thee
,
that
with
thy
leaue
,
I
may
intreat
to
be
carried
to
the
place
of
execution
along
by
thy
windowe
,
for
the
sight
of
thy
presence
,
wil
much
abate
my
greefe
and
tertor
of
so
sharpe
a
death
.
It
shall
be
a
fauour
that
with
content
wil
license
my
departure
,
when
this
haplesse
bodie
trodde
downe
with
woes
,
shal
be
dispossest
of
life
.
The
immortall
Gods
preserue
thine
as
they
can
,
and
he
wishes
that
expects
the
approaching
of
the
expiring
minute
of
his
.
Hauing
done
,
to
the
Court
did
the
Iaylor
(
sir
knights
)
high
him
.
He
was
a
man
in
whom
the
King
and
al
the
Nobilitie
reposed
much
trust
:
so
might
he
enter
vncontrowlde
into
fair
Pollinardas
chamber
,
whom
(
as
he
tolde
me
)
he
found
clad
all
in
mourning
,
still
continuing
her
laments
.
By
little
and
litle
in
their
discourses
,
hee
forced
her
by
occasion
to
demand
for
me
:
whereto
he
replied
.
I
was
one
that
momentarily
expected
his
death
,
from
whom
I
tooke
this
letter
,
finding
it
on
his
Deske
,
and
séeing
it
was
directed
to
your
Highnesse
,
I
heere
bring
it
to
be
burnt
,
least
it
import
some
further
euil
.
He
did
so
cunningly
deliuer
it
,
and
skilfully
perswade
the
reading
,
that
she
thought
him
ignorant
of
the
tenor
.
Shee
tooke
and
perused
it
,
from
whence
redounded
the
procéeding
of
the
greatest
crueltie
euer
heard
of
.
From
Medea
and
Progne
hath
Pollinarda
taken
their
names
of
cruell
:
for
her
aunswere
,
denotes
her
much
more
inhumane
,
the
which
I
do
intreate
you
to
attend
,
that
you
may
be
assured
what
power
a
womans
rage
is
of
,
to
execute
her
will
.
The
contents
of
her
reply
be
these
.
Pollinardas
answere
to
Florisiano
.
COnfounded
was
I
twixt
two
extreames
by
thy
Letter
,
(
most
bloodie
knight
,
and
the
cruellest
that
was
euer
borne
:
)
the
one
increased
my
paine
,
thinking
on
thy
presumption
,
and
my
ignorance
in
receiuing
thy
lewd
scribled
paper
,
because
it
came
from
him
that
bereaft
mee
of
my
life
,
murthering
that
vnhappie
Prince
.
The
other
which
I
account
woorse
then
hell
,
to
be
constrained
to
answere
thee
:
because
to
dissemble
with
thy
letter
,
were
to
giue
ayme
to
thy
boldnesse
,
with
occasion
that
thou
mightest
think
it
pleased
me
,
(
by
my
silence
)
to
graunt
thy
request
,
admitting
thy
least
euill
,
the
which
my selfe
denying
it
,
and
adding
tenne
times
more
tortures
to
thy
deserued
punishment
,
it
would
be
termed
no
new
crueltie
,
proceeding
from
mee
so
exceedingly
wronged
and
offended
.
My
sight
thou
hast
no
need
to
desire
,
if
it
shall
any
thing
auayle
for
thy
content
:
for
hee
that
spoyled
mee
of
my
ioy
,
hath
no
reason
to
demaund
any
.
And
since
thou
murderedst
his
life
that
did
not
merit
it
,
thou
hast
merited
the
cruellest
death
that
may
be
deuised
,
the
which
I
will
hasten
to
execution
.
I
cannot
wish
thee
life
,
to
ende
mine
:
because
I
doo
procure
thy
death
to
comforte
mee
.
He
hath
reason
(
noble
Knights
saide
the
Prince
,
hauing
ended
)
to
pine
,
to
languish
,
to
trauell
without
ioy
and
content
,
that
liued
to
sée
so
kinde
a
letter
as
mine
,
aunswered
with
such
disdaine
and
rigor
.
Who
hath
euer
heard
of
such
crueltie
as
this
?
I
had
no
tongue
to
complaine
of
her
,
nor
power
to
banne
my
luckelesse
starres
.
For
considering
how
I
did
offend
her
,
I
thought
this
course
of
wrath
too
little
:
But
I
desired
(
so
dearely
did
I
loue
Pollinarda
)
it
should
bee
saide
of
her
,
shee
had
with
greatest
bountie
and
noblenesse
,
forgiuen
the
greatest
enemie
of
her
content
,
and
sole
spoyler
of
her
ioy
,
for
that
had
béene
a
manifest
token
of
selfe-conquest
ouer
her
owne
anger
,
and
reuenging
thirst
,
which
is
the
sole
glorie
aboue
all
others
,
to
eternize
an
honourable
minde
,
because
it
is
generally
accorded
,
that
to
bee
a
greater
triumph
obtained
ouer
our
proper
selues
,
then
to
vanquish
either
heauen
or
earth
.
Onely
for
this
is
that
Ladie
much
bound
to
me
,
that
I
neuer
desired
nor
imagined
any
thing
,
but
to
the
aduancement
of
her
honor
and
fame
.
My
gentle
Kéeper
greatly
comforted
me
,
knowing
how
intierly
I
loued
.
He
performed
an
act
,
the
which
hauing
since
(
without
affection
)
often
déeply
wondred
with
my selfe
,
yet
could
I
neuer
resolue
mee
of
the
cause
,
more
then
the
motion
of
a
vertuous
inclination
,
to
comiserate
a
haplesse
chance
.
It
was
,
that
being
throughly
gréeued
,
to
sée
I
should
the
next
day
be
openly
beheaded
,
(
against
which
execution
,
my
deare
friend
Lycanders
intercessions
nothing
preuailed
)
that
entring
my
chamber
with
a
courage
resolue
,
he
thus
spake
vnto
me
.
You
sée
(
sir
knight
)
what
the
king
hath
determined
on
your
affaires
,
it
doth
so
gréeue
my
very
soule
,
that
to
saue
your
life
,
I
would
gladly
loose
mine
,
and
hazard
my
credit
with
his
Maiestie
,
wronging
his
reposed
confidence
in
me
,
and
will
giue
you
libertie
through
this
Tower
,
for
it
is
impossible
you
should
scape
by
this
Gate
,
by
reason
of
the
strong
guard
that
kéepes
you
.
And
gréeue
not
thus
to
discontent
your
Ladie
,
for
the
processe
of
time
will
lessen
her
concealed
sorrowe
for
Agesilaos
death
,
better
then
yours
may
now
satisfie
her
reuenge
.
Let
it
be
so
,
and
by
this
meanes
reserue
your
life
,
bee
it
but
to
imploy
it
in
louing
her
:
for
it
is
not
the
part
of
a
noble
breast
to
dispaire
of
euery
thing
,
but
it
rather
belongs
to
a
couragious
minde
,
to
nourish
his
decaying
hopes
with
bolde
confidence
.
He
so
well
perswaded
me
(
most
famous
knights
)
that
I
resolued
to
preserue
my
life
by
that
sower
remedie
.
And
first
to
comfort
him
,
for
the
depriuation
of
his
estate
,
which
he
willingly
did
forgo
to
escape
away
with
me
,
I
tolde
him
for
whom
I
vndertooke
that
daunger
,
discouering
my selfe
vnto
him
.
It
gladded
him
,
and
therevppon
hee
tooke
off
my
boltes
and
Gyues
,
wherein
my
aduerse
fortune
had
bound
me
,
and
so
the
night
being
come
,
we
descended
the
Tower
by
a
corded
ladder
,
through
a
window
that
ouerlooked
the
sea
coast
,
where
he
had
prouided
a
well
rigged
Barke
:
entring
therein
a
maine
,
wee
lancht
from
the
Cittie
of
Frossa
,
not
without
many
sighes
&
teares
from
my
heart
,
thinking
how
much
I
did
displease
the
Ladie
of
my
life
thereby
,
in
that
her
pleasure
consisted
on
my
death
.
Thrée
daies
did
wee
nauigate
with
a
faire
gayle
,
which
made
mee
thinke
,
I
better
fared
on
the
seas
,
then
on
the
land
.
The
second
time
would
not
Fortune
let
me
repeate
it
,
for
conspiring
with
Eolus
,
they
both
would
néeds
trie
their
fiercenesse
on
my
patience
,
with
the
cruellest
storme
that
hath
béen
séen
:
for
the
waues
beginning
to
swell
,
threatning
the
heauens
and
strongest
rockes
,
what
might
not
we
feare
,
that
were
tossed
on
their
billowes
,
sometimes
hoysed
to
the
cloudes
,
and
then
cast
lower
then
the
center
of
the
earth
?
So
that
he
which
suffered
lesse
paine
,
was
glad
to
submit
to
deaths
stroke
.
Such
and
so
many
flashes
of
water
came
tumbling
into
our
weather-beaten
vessell
,
that
full
against
our
willes
,
wee
were
forced
to
taste
the
sauor
of
Neptunes
saultest
licquor
.
On
the
sudden
we
were
surprized
with
such
a
whirlewinde
,
that
we
lost
all
hope
of
recouery
,
for
the
persecuted
Barke
laie
wallowed
vp
and
downe
,
aboue
halfe
an
houre
,
vntil
a
contrary
winde
ouermaistring
the
tempest
,
cast
it
neare
the
shore
,
and
running
on
a
shole
,
it
splitted
in
the
midst
.
Our
clamors
and
shrikes
then
,
are
not
to
be
beléeued
,
nor
wil
I
rehearse
them
,
for
my
tongue
is
insufficient
.
He
that
by
chaunce
got
then
any
aduantage
,
was
by
fastning
on
some
péece
of
boord
,
a
litle
to
prolong
his
life
.
It
was
so
hideous
darke
,
that
none
could
sée
the
other
,
nor
light
any
fire
could
we
,
for
the
winde
dispearcing
it
,
would
blow
it
out
.
Thus
grapled
on
a
planke
,
I
left
my
friend
,
and
wrastling
with
the
seas
,
fortune
,
and
death
:
the
Gods
permitted
me
(
yet
I
know
not
why
)
to
saue
my
abhorred
life
.
And
about
the
dawning
of
the
day
,
I
found
my selfe
on
the
sandie
Hauen
of
Argier
,
so
brused
and
tired
,
that
I
could
not
stand
on
my
féete
,
for
besides
my
toyles
,
I
had
not
slept
in
foure
daies
before
,
still
by
moments
expecting
my
neare
approching
death
.
I
was
willing
to
take
a
nappe
,
before
I
would
go
into
the
countrie
,
so
stepping
among
some
growing
wéedes
,
I
slept
a
good
while
,
receiuing
a
little
rest
and
ease
.
Quickly
was
it
bereaft
mee
,
falling
in
the
hands
of
those
barbarous
Infidels
of
that
Sconse
,
that
neither
pitlie
nor
pardon
any
,
though
they
bee
of
their
owne
sect
,
so
much
they
trust
to
the
strength
of
that
their
Castle
.
They
carried
me
vnto
a
rich
Turke
,
Lieftenant
of
the
Fortresse
,
who
bought
me
for
two
hundreth
Chequins
,
to
serue
him
with
his
other
slaues
.
I
imployed
the
vtmost
of
my
power
therein
,
which
redownded
to
such
effect
,
that
hee
trusted
me
aboue
all
his
other
seruitors
.
My
painfull
,
diligent
,
and
carefull
seruice
,
came
to
the
kings
hearing
,
that
he
would
néeds
haue
me
from
his
Lieftenant
,
paying
the
double
that
my
first
Maister
had
done
for
me
.
I
will
omit
(
valiant
Princes
)
how
I
might
gréeue
to
be
so
hurried
from
Market
to
Market
to
be
solde
.
It
pleased
my
fortune
to
let
me
so
farre
obtaine
the
Kings
grace
,
as
that
hee
let
mee
go
at
libertie
without
bands
,
but
marked
in
the
front
as
his
slaue
.
I
learned
to
speak
the
language
,
which
much
auayled
me
,
would
I
haue
violated
my
faith
consecrated
to
my
Ladie
,
for
Troyla
his
daughter
did
euen
dote
on
me
:
but
to
him
that
had
vowed
his
soule
to
Pollinardas
excellencies
,
and
wanting
the
consolation
of
her
presence
,
that
increased
his
torment
.
I
purpose
to
shunne
her
importunities
,
once
of
so
many
times
,
they
had
iniustly
bought
and
solde
me
to
runne
away
.
One
night
among
the
rest
,
I
resolued
to
do
it
,
the
which
I
might
easily
accomplish
,
considering
the
much
libertie
I
had
:
yet
would
I
not
do
it
without
a
farewell
of
the
beauteous
Troyla
,
because
I
would
not
séeme
vngratefull
for
her
loue
and
fauors
.
You
may
imagine
how
she
might
take
it
,
affecting
me
(
in
my
opinion
)
as
her selfe
:
neuerthelesse
,
her
true
loue
teares
could
not
stay
poore
distressed
Iaroe
,
so
was
I
called
by
the
Turkes
.
Shee
seeing
me
thus
obstinately
determined
,
requested
to
know
who
I
was
,
then
which
shee
required
no
other
comfort
:
I
did
not
hazard
much
thereby
,
and
therefore
satisfied
her
.
It
somewhat
quieted
her
,
protesting
to
come
to
my
kingdome
,
or
neuer
to
receiue
husband
,
but
at
my
hands
.
Therevpon
I
tooke
my
leaue
,
a
thousand
times
embraced
by
her
,
for
I
durst
not
do
it
,
fearing
thereby
to
wrong
her
,
that
is
the
load-starre
of
my
ioyes
.
Shée
gaue
me
more
necessaries
for
my
iourney
then
I
néeded
,
and
therewith
departed
from
Argier
,
where
I
nothing
got
,
but
like
a
slaue
to
be
marked
in
the
forehead
.
I
could
not
rest
,
so
tormented
was
I
with
variable
cogitations
,
yet
in
the
end
I
resolued
to
returne
into
Lucania
,
sure
to
be
knowne
of
none
,
for
that
my
cares
,
and
the
troubles
of
the
seas
,
had
impaired
and
altered
my
countenance
,
as
also
my
slaues
marke
.
And
considering
how
long
since
I
was
yoaked
and
captiuated
with
Loues
slauerie
,
I
nothing
gréeued
at
the
signes
thereof
:
for
accounting
them
giuen
me
as
by
Pollinardas
hands
,
I
did
therein
repute
my selfe
most
happie
.
In
these
tempestuous
toyles
,
and
turbulent
shipwracks
,
spent
I
one
yeare
and
an
halfe
,
which
was
too
much
to
be
forgot
,
though
not
in
my
Ladies
Pallace
.
I
thought
that
Fortune
(
by
ayding
me
with
prosperous
gales
)
would
now
at
length
séeme
to
pittie
me
,
for
in
fewe
daies
I
arriued
in
Lucania
,
where
I
inquired
how
matters
passed
.
I
was
informed
,
that
one
of
the
strongest
knights
now
knowne
(
the
Gréeke
Princes
that
admit
no
comparatiue
,
excepted
)
was
thither
come
.
The
deceased
Princes
younger
brother
he
was
:
but
farre
valianter
:
for
there
is
no
Gyant
able
to
withstand
him
.
Hee
solicited
and
wooed
by
all
means
to
obtain
the
Ladies
good
will
,
knowing
there
past
no
more
betwéene
her
and
his
brother
,
then
an
exterior
affection
confirmed
with
espowsed
faith
.
Yet
doth
he
insist
therein
,
〈◊〉
haughtie
and
proude
is
Asternio
the
fierce
,
so
is
he
named
.
Many
times
was
I
about
to
buy
horse
and
armor
,
to
trie
my
fortune
,
which
is
vnable
to
suffer
any
Competitor
in
my
loue
and
hopes
.
But
I
let
it
alone
,
to
sée
to
what
end
my
slauish
turkish
habit
would
sort
vnto
.
Sometimes
I
beheld
her
,
which
was
no
small
redresse
to
my
afflicted
minde
,
yet
was
it
tempered
,
séeing
her
disconted
,
which
pure
loue
made
me
thinke
was
for
Agesilao
.
So
one
day
walking
neare
her
chamber
window
,
I
met
with
my
friend
the
Prince
Lysander
.
Euen
from
his
secret
cabinet
,
did
my
heart
leape
with
his
suddaine
sight
.
He
stayed
to
looke
on
mee
,
and
séeing
me
attired
like
a
Turke
,
with
a
turbant
on
my
head
,
and
the
rest
of
my
apparrell
neate
and
cleane
,
he
demaunded
whence
I
was
.
I
aunswered
of
Carthage
,
and
that
by
great
good
happe
I
had
freed
my selfe
from
Argiers
bondage
.
He
intreated
me
(
I
know
not
if
through
affection
)
to
become
his
seruant
.
I
agréede
thereto
,
onely
againe
to
trie
my
fortune
that
way
.
Thence
wée
went
to
the
Pallace
,
where
hée
acquainted
his
new
seruitor
with
his
Parents
.
My
Lady
was
present
,
whose
presence
made
euery
ioynt
&
vain
tremble
within
me
,
in
their
seueral
motion
,
yet
now
and
then
casting
my
eyes
vnto
the
Sunne-shine
of
her
beautie
,
I
drew
strength
from
it
,
to
support
my
weake
minde
,
to
make
reply
to
their
demaunds
:
for
séeing
me
so
young
,
in
that
no
hayre
yet
budded
in
my
face
,
they
comiferated
the
relation
of
my
troubles
,
imprisonments
,
and
slaueries
:
yet
this
nothing
gréeued
me
(
saide
I
)
for
I
cannot
remember
when
I
was
mine
owne
,
and
therefore
supposing
I
was
marked
to
no
other
fréedome
,
I
did
till
now
patiently
beare
my
slauish
bondage
,
as
if
I
had
béene
borne
thereto
,
and
I
beléeue
it
will
neuer
bée
otherwise
,
my
fortunes
so
continued
it
.
Gladly
would
I
haue
had
my
Lady
vnderstood
it
,
(
so
shee
might
not
knowe
me
)
and
with
what
affection
I
did
vtter
it
,
as
hee
that
so
long
since
was
wholly
deuoted
to
her
perfections
.
There
was
none
in
all
the
Court
but
tooke
liking
in
me
,
especially
my
Lord
Lysander
,
that
fauored
me
that
night
to
take
mee
with
him
,
with
swords
&
bucklers
,
and
priuie
coates
,
secretly
to
walke
abroad
,
crossing
the
backside
of
a
Gard●●
that
leaded
him
to
his
Ladie
Solesias
lodging
.
His
kindnesse
and
familiaritie
was
a
meanes
that
hee
did
not
intreate
mee
as
a
seruant
,
but
as
if
he
had
knowne
me
,
making
mee
the
Secretarie
of
his
Loues
,
the
surest
token
of
true
amitie
that
may
bee
in
this
age
.
I
cannot
otherwise
beléeue
,
but
that
Cupid
now
at
length
thought
himselfe
wronged
,
séeing
Pollinarda
so
rebellious
and
cruell
towardes
him
and
me
.
So
she
that
could
not
loue
Florisiano
,
Venus
sonne
with
his
almightie
power
,
forced
to
affect
poore
Iaroe
,
which
name
I
would
not
change
,
for
vnder
that
title
Fortune
had
offered
me
,
in
obtaining
the
grace
of
Troyla
Princesse
of
Argier
.
Quickly
did
Pollinarda
expresse
manifest
tokens
of
her
change
,
demaunding
me
whether
I
néeded
ought
,
if
yea
,
my
demaund
should
be
the
effect
of
my
desire
.
Neither
was
I
able
to
answere
,
nor
did
I
euer
make
known
Florisianos
great
necessities
:
but
rather
perceiuing
what
she
ment
,
as
one
skilfull
in
the
Art
,
I
séemed
straunge
and
regardlesse
of
her
offer
,
to
be
more
assured
of
her
faith
,
that
after
no
occasion
might
frustrate
our
expects
.
My
straungenesse
effected
what
I
wished
,
for
by
this
,
Iaroes
Loue
had
made
her
more
solicit
.
I
doubted
not
thereof
,
noting
the
wooing
motions
of
her
eyes
.
Oh
,
they
be
the
swéete
silent
Ambassadors
,
soliciting
the
soules
want
.
Many
times
would
I
set
my selfe
at
a
window
,
to
ruminate
alone
the
felicitie
of
my
state
:
then
would
I
say
to
my selfe
:
Oh
,
who
might
deale
some
of
my
abounding
fauours
with
disconted
Florisiano
?
Oh
Gods
,
how
enuious
became
the
Prince
of
Apulia
,
to
sée
Iaroe
so
beloued
,
and
himselfe
vtterly
abhorred
.
Oftentimes
recounting
my
many
fauors
,
I
found
them
so
infinit
,
that
I
was
contented
to
let
the
Prince
share
with
Iaroes
glorie
and
happinesse
.
One
night
,
(
oh
happie
night
among
the
rest
)
did
the
Lady
at
full
make
knowne
her
vehement
passions
,
for
I
being
by
my
maister
commanded
to
watch
till
one
of
the
clocke
,
because
wee
should
then
walke
abroad
,
I
got
me
in
that
season
not
farre
from
her
chamber
.
I
thinke
there
was
some
false
doore
,
for
when
I
was
giuing
thankes
to
Cupid
for
the
benefits
I
receiued
,
I
heard
some
busling
there
.
I
started
somewhat
amazed
:
and
looking
what
it
might
be
,
I
sawe
her
that
now
gouernes
my
heart
,
appeare
more
fairer
then
Diana
.
A
siluer
Candlestick
with
a
Taper
she
held
in
her
hand
.
With
cap
in
hand
(
for
she
was
my
Empresse
)
I
ran
to
take
it
from
her
.
Oh
loue
,
to
none
but
whom
thou
lists
thou
dost
distribute
thy
fauors
.
She
plainly
(
excellent
knights
)
shewed
her selfe
to
be
soly
mine
:
for
wanting
the
power
to
mooue
the
Organs
of
her
voyce
,
yet
her
eyes
firmely
fixed
on
mine
,
she
would
not
let
the
candlesticke
go
.
Oh
Loues
swéete
warre
!
In
faith
(
Noble
Sirs
)
you
would
haue
smiled
to
sée
the
bewtious
Pollinarda
by
silence
and
dumme
action
,
confesse
she
did
loue
,
acknowledging
his
soueraigntie
,
and
her
tributarie
dutie
to
his
deitie
,
granting
those
fauours
as
hostage
of
her
faith
,
vnto
his
seruant
Iaroe
.
Oh
do
not
suffer
him
(
most
sacred
Lady
,
said
I
)
so
much
to
offend
,
that
was
onely
created
to
adore
you
.
With
this
spéech
,
she
perceiued
the
fault
she
had
committed
:
whervpon
with
consent
we
set
the
Taper
on
the
table
,
while
she
replyed
.
The
imagination
(
Iaroe
)
thou
mightest
ill
suspect
,
of
this
my
comming
thus
to
visit
thée
,
hath
bereft
me
of
all
strength
and
vnderstanding
:
but
that
thou
mayest
knowe
wherefore
I
come
,
it
is
thus
:
I
must
haue
thée
tell
me
thy
proper
name
,
for
I
am
sure
thou
hast
some
other
.
This
will
I
not
be
denied
,
vowing
to
kéepe
it
secret
,
that
thou
mayest
receiue
no
harme
therefore
.
You
may
well
thinke
how
I
might
stand
confounded
with
her
demaund
:
aunswere
I
could
not
,
which
made
her
more
eager
to
know
it
.
Againe
,
she
vrged
me
,
that
I
was
inforced
to
say
,
I
cannot
conceiue
(
diuine
Princesse
)
why
you
are
importunate
to
know
the
thing
that
will
most
of
all
others
gréeue
you
:
oh
let
me
not
be
the
cause
to
renew
your
sorrow
,
for
I
will
first
be
my
own
murtherer
.
The
amorous
Dame
replyed
:
Did
I
imagine
to
receiue
any
,
I
would
not
demaund
it
:
but
doing
so
,
I
assure
you
,
you
shall
not
in
any
thing
more
content
me
,
then
in
that
.
I
aunswered
her
thus
.
Well
,
for
all
this
,
I
am
sure
(
faire
Princesse
)
the
knowledge
of
my
name
will
vexe
you
.
Wherefore
I
humbly
intreate
you
to
holde
this
dagger
in
your
hand
,
that
ending
my
spéech
,
you
also
end
poore
Iaroes
life
.
Know
therefore
(
soueraigne
Pollinarda
)
I
was
borne
as
I
said
in
Carthage
,
but
am
called
Florisiano
:
I
changed
it
,
because
I
heard
,
that
in
times
past
one
of
this
name
had
excéedingly
displeased
you
,
by
sleying
the
Prince
of
Calabria
:
wherefore
,
séeing
how
hated
that
name
was
in
this
house
,
I
durst
not
come
hither
with
it
,
fearing
to
refresh
therewith
,
the
memorie
of
passed
gréefes
.
Oh
excéeding
power
of
loue
,
for
though
(
Syr
Knights
)
I
remembred
the
things
she
did
most
loue
and
hate
,
she
shewed
no
whit
of
alteration
,
but
returning
my
ponyard
,
said
.
Little
néed
had
you
Florisiano
,
to
alter
your
name
for
any
such
feare
,
knowing
that
onely
for
it
,
the
first
of
the
same
had
bene
forgiuen
.
Farther
shee
did
not
procéede
,
nor
more
openly
bewray
her
affection
.
I
dissembled
my
ioy
,
sharing
it
with
Iaroe
,
whom
now
me
thoght
began
to
bee
forgot
:
I
would
therein
recompence
him
for
his
former
kindnesse
towards
Florisiano
.
The
time
would
no
longer
permit
vs
to
chat
,
for
the
houre
of
my
departure
being
come
,
I
was
constrained
to
tell
her
so
.
She
was
content
,
aduising
me
to
be
secret
,
because
shee
would
that
way
often
visit
me
.
I
imagine
(
Sir
Knights
)
that
you
thinke
both
tongue
and
soule
swore
a
solemne
performance
of
her
deare
commaund
,
and
if
you
so
thinke
,
I
assure
you
,
your
thoughts
deceiue
you
not
:
for
my
soule
that
still
hanged
vpon
her
lips
,
receiued
her
command
,
with
no
lesse
sentence
of
the
Delphian
Oracle
:
then
rising
,
with
a
pleasant
smiling
she
said
:
I
pray
Lord
Florisiano
,
let
vs
entreate
your
Turkeship
,
Christianly
to
conduct
vs
to
our
lodging
,
and
then
wée
le
license
your
departure
.
All
rauished
with
ioy
,
not
able
to
speake
a
word
,
I
went
with
her
to
her
chamber
doore
:
and
then
falling
on
my
knées
and
kissing
her
hand
,
desiring
her
to
account
me
hers
:
I
tooke
my
leaue
,
leauing
my
soule
in
her
bosome
,
and
returned
to
my
Lords
lodging
:
where
we
prepared
our selues
for
our
walke
.
He
did
an
act
,
that
I
iudged
most
kinde
,
for
he
gaue
me
a
garment
that
had
bene
mine
,
saying
:
Hold
Iaroe
,
for
since
Fortune
robbed
mee
of
his
owner
,
none
hath
better
deserued
it
.
I
put
it
on
,
and
greatly
wondred
how
he
knew
me
not
.
Away
we
went
,
arriuing
to
the
window
where
his
Lady
expected
him
:
I
stayed
to
guarde
the
passage
,
with
such
resolution
,
that
all
the
world
,
yea
Florisiano
of
Apulia
,
had
not
passed
there
:
with
the
first
,
and
with
the
fauoured
last
,
was
Iaroe
now
in
disgrace
,
séeing
the
alteration
of
his
fortunes
.
So
if
with
patience
you
will
attend
me
,
the
next
Chapter
shall
vnfolde
what
else
happened
CHAP.
XXIX
.
How
the
Prince
of
Apulia
ended
the
discourse
of
his
amourous
life
to
the
Greeke
Princes
,
and
how
Claridiano
pittying
his
estate
,
departed
with
him
.
WHat
strong
residence
the
power
of
Loues
affection
hath
within
an
amorous
brest
(
faire
Ladies
)
the
beawteous
Pollinardas
suddain
and
vnexpected
change
(
which
Agesilao
bought
full
dearely
)
doth
amply
shew
:
for
not
remembring
how
greatly
she
had
loued
him
,
how
bitterly
she
had
taken
his
death
,
and
with
what
rigor
she
procured
his
reuenge
,
she
recanted
,
and
without
consideration
of
her
honours
blemish
,
doted
on
a
slaue
.
A
iust
guerdon
,
that
séeing
she
would
not
affect
the
Knight
,
that
with
such
firme
proofes
had
approoued
himselfe
to
be
hers
,
and
by
his
déeds
,
worthy
of
her
estimate
,
she
now
beheld
the
subiect
of
her
ioyes
,
with
slauish
markes
,
and
that
her
blinde
and
vaine
passion
,
might
so
far
excéed
as
to
say
,
that
for
the
second
Florisianos
sake
,
the
first
had
bene
pardoned
.
There
is
none
that
may
safely
build
his
assurance
on
such
effects
,
if
once
he
haue
opened
his
doores
to
Loues
flatteries
.
In
pensiue
imaginations
had
the
Louer
put
the
Gréekes
with
his
amorous
Historie
,
that
they
would
not
so
soone
haue
it
end
.
But
the
youth
that
aggrauated
his
woes
with
repetition
of
his
former
gréefes
,
abreuiated
,
saying
.
There
stayed
I
(
Heroicke
knights
)
gazing
on
the
vesture
that
belonged
to
the
Apulian
,
till
that
my
Lord
Lysander
hauing
excused
himselfe
to
his
lady
,
of
certaine
obiections
layd
against
him
,
I
thinke
it
was
but
some
iealous
imagination
,
they
would
assure
all
inconueniences
,
by
an
espousall
contraction
,
especially
befitting
them
both
.
So
hee
came
for
me
to
be
a
witnesse
thereto
,
but
ere
he
discouered
himselfe
,
he
would
néeds
try
the
vygor
of
my
armes
,
comming
an
other
way
disguised
for
the
purpose
:
and
being
neare
me
,
he
drew
,
saying
.
What
madnesse
hath
brought
thée
to
so
suspitious
a
place
,
where
thy
boldnesse
shall
reape
no
other
againe
,
then
a
remorcelesse
death
?
I
was
so
carefull
to
let
none
passe
,
nor
to
disclose
who
I
was
,
that
without
more
ado
,
or
other
answere
,
I
set
vpon
my
dearest
friend
.
In
faith
I
reioyced
to
sée
how
wel
he
behaued
himselfe
,
although
I
knew
him
not
,
but
I
being
throughly
incensed
,
I
began
to
follow
him
in
such
sort
,
that
I
droue
him
among
the
hedges
of
the
Orchard
,
faithfully
discharging
my
dutie
.
It
behooued
him
to
speake
,
least
some
danger
had
happened
,
so
he
raysed
his
voice
,
miscalling
me
therewith
,
which
more
gréeued
me
,
then
if
he
had
mortally
wounded
me
:
for
séeing
me
with
eager
furie
,
presse
to
take
aduantage
at
full
to
hit
him
,
he
said
.
Oh
Turkish
dog
,
what
doest
thou
?
I
knew
my
Lord
Lysanders
voyce
,
and
beléeue
me
(
Noble
warriors
)
I
was
neuer
more
vexed
:
but
that
I
tendered
him
as
my
soule
,
Iaore
had
surely
kept
him
from
enioying
his
loues
,
yet
I
stayed
my
hand
,
considering
his
friendship
towards
the
Prince
of
Apulia
.
So
I
tooke
my
sword
by
the
poynt
,
and
intreated
him
to
pardon
me
,
for
my
not
knowing
him
,
had
forced
mee
to
commit
that
fault
.
The
faith
(
answered
he
)
wherewith
(
friend
Iaroe
)
thou
backest
thy
Maister
,
brings
with
it
thy
excuse
,
for
neuer
had
any
knight
a
better
seruant
than
I
:
But
that
thou
mayest
know
how
I
estéeme
thée
,
come
,
for
I
will
haue
thée
be
a
witnesse
to
the
faith
I
will
plight
vnto
Solecia
,
to
bee
her
firme
Louer
.
Hee
bounde
mee
eternally
by
the
act
:
And
the
Moone
then
shyning
bright
,
it
shyned
iust
in
the
middest
of
the
Ladies
windowe
where
she
stayed
:
and
credit
mee
,
shee
séemed
bewtifull
.
Shee
had
so
affected
Florisiano
Prince
of
Apulia
,
that
séeing
mee
with
his
owne
garments
,
shee
could
not
but
pittie
him
,
calling
mee
to
memorie
.
With
my
hatte
in
hand
(
as
a
seruant
ought
)
I
stood
still
,
but
she
called
me
,
saying
.
Come
thée
hither
friend
Iaroe
,
for
I
will
haue
this
assurance
passe
in
thy
presence
,
and
my
ioyes
should
I
account
compleate
,
were
the
owner
of
thy
apparell
in
thy
place
.
Oh
,
if
that
were
so
,
my
deare
espouse
(
sayde
my
tender-hearted
fréende
)
what
greater
content
could
wee
more
desire
.
Towards
whom
might
the
blinde
Goddesse
shewe
her selfe
more
fauourable
then
to
vs
,
had
she
now
sent
vs
that
valiant
knight
,
crost
with
so
many
troubles
?
Some
teares
did
I
espie
in
their
eyes
,
which
so
greatly
moued
me
,
that
I
could
no
longer
dissemble
,
and
going
more
neare
them
,
I
thus
spake
:
My
very
soule
would
ioy
(
most
soueraigne
Princes
)
although
I
lost
this
good
,
to
sée
that
knight
here
,
who
is
the
happiest
in
the
worlde
to
be
beloued
of
such
Princes
:
for
then
should
fortune
neither
bereaue
Iaroe
of
this
content
,
(
oh
Gods
I
could
scarce
make
an
end
)
nor
yet
should
the
dispairing
Knight
be
so
persecuted
by
her
,
as
not
to
enioy
your
happie
presence
,
&
by
experience
sée
,
with
what
faith
he
is
affected
.
And
if
you
regard
him
,
behold
me
here
,
for
more
troubles
yet
reserued
:
And
since
I
am
eye
witnesse
of
the
strongest
and
purest
amitie
that
can
be
,
oh
let
the
knight
in
yealow
satisfie
it
with
the
like
,
and
with
endlesse
seruice
perpetually
to
honor
you
.
And
wonder
not
to
sée
me
thus
attired
,
for
the
successes
that
haue
me
befallen
,
makes
me
admire
how
I
haue
escaped
with
life
.
I
wil
not
(
because
I
cannot
sufficiently
)
expresse
(
excellent
knights
)
the
ioy
those
Princes
conceiued
with
my
sight
.
They
imbraced
me
as
I
were
their
brother
,
yet
had
I
bene
so
,
they
could
not
haue
done
more
.
They
plainly
had
perceiued
I
was
inamoured
of
Pollinarda
,
since
to
such
manifest
hazard
of
my
life
,
I
durst
aduenture
to
come
to
the
Court
.
He
so
richly
performed
the
part
of
a
Noble
Prince
,
that
knowing
I
desired
to
be
concealed
,
and
not
to
be
intreated
otherwise
then
a
seruant
,
he
also
séemed
content
that
I
should
affect
his
sister
.
Much
better
did
the
faire
Ladie
take
my
part
,
saying
.
Beléeue
me
,
henceforth
none
but
I
wil
sollicit
Iaroes
affaires
,
which
should
haue
no
il
successe
,
séeing
he
refuseth
his
other
name
:
so
wil
I
procure
to
redresse
the
most
difficultest
,
that
we
may
liue
contented
.
She
forgot
it
not
the
next
day
,
going
to
visit
my
Lady
in
her
chamber
,
where
she
found
her
troubled
with
many
amourous
doubts
:
now
misconstring
of
her
fauours
showne
me
,
then
iudging
it
not
sufficient
to
my
deserts
,
and
her
loue
.
We
departed
thence
ouercome
with
ioy
,
and
being
in
our
Chamber
,
and
the
Prince
laide
in
bed
,
I
betooke
me
to
a
window
that
looked
into
the
Garden
,
to
recount
the
fauours
I
receiued
:
where
in
briefe
I
omitted
none
,
singing
vnto
the
silent
night
,
the
pleasure
of
my
conceiued
happinesse
,
vnable
to
deuise
what
meanes
I
might
choose
to
be
knowne
vnto
the
Princesse
.
She
was
so
farre
in
loue
,
and
therein
so
much
out
of
quiet
(
no
Louer
had
euer
any
)
that
she
ouerheard
my
song
,
and
I
thinke
she
gathered
thereby
,
her selfe
had
only
the
power
to
glad
my
sorrowfull
soule
.
And
as
the
Infant
Solesia
came
afterwards
,
and
began
to
talke
of
me
,
she
so
well
dealt
for
me
,
speaking
more
then
I
deserued
,
that
she
altogither
made
conquest
of
her
heart
for
me
:
insomuch
that
she
had
almost
discored
it
.
For
that
time
the
Ladie
would
not
presse
her
any
more
,
which
if
she
had
,
Pollinarda
would
of
force
explaind
her
great
loue
towards
me
.
That
night
which
was
the
last
of
my
content
,
she
came
to
heare
Musicke
,
and
as
I
alwaies
vsed
,
I
tooke
my
Lute
and
went
to
the
window
,
where
(
not
thinking
because
it
was
so
late
any
had
heard
me
)
I
began
to
sing
,
and
openly
to
expresse
the
soueraigne
ioy
of
my
heart
,
in
this
maner
.
Oh
,
who
would
thinke
that
Bondage
could
be
Free
?
That
,
deep-hart-woundings
could
beget
all
gladnes
,
That
,
most
accurst
,
could
the
most
happiest
bee
,
That
,
that
which
all
count
griefe
,
should
kill
all
sadnes
,
Let
all
men
note
these
myracles
in
mee
,
Whom
Loue
hath
raised
from
the
depth
of
badnes
Vnto
the
highest
,
of
all
high
degree
,
Euen
then
,
when
nothing
rul'd
my
soule
;
but
madnes
.
Blest
be
the
heauenly
powre
,
whose
powerfull
might
Hath
duld
the
keen
edge
,
of
her
iust
disdaining
:
And
euer
blessed
be
her
noble
spirit
That
heard
(
with
pittie
)
my
sad
soules
complaining
:
Blest
be
the
griefe
of
past
afflictions
night
,
Sith
it
,
more
sweete
,
doth
make
my
present
gaining
,
Blest
be
the
Tyme
,
that
lent
me
first
her
sight
,
But
treble
blest
the
Tyme
of
grace
obtaining
.
You
markes
of
bondage
:
(
too
)
which
did
inuest
Me
in
these
blessings
:
euer
be
you
blest
.
Longer
had
I
made
my
song
,
but
that
I
heard
a
noise
,
which
not
only
made
me
leaue
,
but
also
with
some
alteration
to
draw
my
weapons
,
not
thinking
my
lifes
happinesse
would
séeke
me
at
that
houre
.
With
my
sword
in
one
hand
,
and
buckler
in
the
other
,
I
awayted
the
successe
,
when
in
the
way
accustomed
,
I
espied
that
soueraigne
Ladie
,
so
excellent
bewtifull
,
that
with
her
only
sight
,
I
thought
my selfe
transported
into
the
skies
.
Smiling
she
came
,
shewing
the
heauen
of
her
face
full
of
ioyfull
hopes
.
She
first
said
thus
.
Methinkes
that
straunge
,
and
irefull
kinde
of
entertainment
,
for
her
that
soly
procures
thy
content
:
Oh
what
swéete
words
?
these
be
they
that
now
féede
me
in
this
cruell
absence
:
and
more
she
said
thus
.
And
in
faith
I
haue
not
conceiued
small
pleasure
hearing
thée
sing
,
expressing
the
secrets
of
thy
amourous
heart
:
and
for
the
great
loue
the
Prince
my
brother
beareth
thée
,
I
wil
indeuour
(
if
you
tel
me
who
your
Ladie
is
)
to
get
your
libertie
,
that
you
may
better
attend
her
seruice
.
With
my
soule
full
of
gladnesse
I
replied
.
It
is
the
condition
(
most
soueraigne
Ladie
)
of
all
powerfull
Loue
to
pardon
none
,
among
which
number
,
he
hath
from
the
beginning
so
subdued
my
heart
,
that
I
haue
alwaies
delighted
to
treate
of
his
affaires
with
my selfe
,
being
most
alone
:
although
the
Ladie
I
adore
and
idolatrize
,
be
resolued
neuer
to
fauour
me
.
I
haue
not
dared
euen
from
the
spring
of
my
loues
,
to
do
more
then
sing
the
ioy
my
heart
conceiues
to
account
my selfe
hers
.
Where
to
she
answered
.
And
is
it
possible
thou
art
so
cunning
in
dissembling
thy
affection
?
Now
by
my
troth
,
wert
thou
to
be
my
gallant
,
thou
shouldest
not
suffer
so
many
torments
.
And
beléeue
me
,
there
is
neuer
any
thing
lost
by
discouering
to
the
Ladie
the
interior
secrets
of
the
heart
,
and
how
she
is
beloued
:
for
otherwise
thus
to
dissemble
,
is
rather
occasion
of
further
euil
,
because
it
is
likely
,
(
nay
it
often
happens
)
that
the
Ladie
may
place
her
affection
on
some
other
,
and
so
thou
loose
that
benefit
,
through
silence
.
I
haue
alreadie
set
my
chiefe
happinesse
therein
(
did
I
reply
)
most
beawteous
Ladie
,
and
therefore
I
cannot
but
bee
silent
,
and
loue
,
although
I
die
.
Well
hath
my
Ladie
vnderstood
what
I
require
,
and
how
I
loue
:
for
mine
eyes
sometimes
forgetting
their
other
motions
,
repairing
vnto
the
heauen
of
that
bewtie
for
some
fauour
,
are
credible
Embassadors
of
the
hearts
intent
.
That
is
not
sufficient
(
said
she
)
to
make
her
resolue
to
loue
,
beeing
beloued
:
for
as
touching
your
gazing
,
that
is
so
common
and
generall
among
all
men
,
that
the
Ladies
may
iudge
it
as
an
ordinarie
thing
,
not
considering
the
owner
of
those
gazing
instruments
,
doth
honour
and
loue
her
:
and
therefore
it
is
an
error
to
dissemble
,
when
the
paine
is
estraunged
.
If
in
recompence
of
the
greatnesse
thereof
,
(
most
sacred
Ladie
said
I
)
the
author
of
the
same
should
be
discouered
,
and
she
acquainted
therewith
,
none
with
more
reason
ought
to
do
it
then
I
,
for
there
can
be
none
that
hath
indured
so
much
,
nor
any
loued
with
such
firmnesse
.
If
there
be
assurance
thereof
(
replied
the
Princesse
)
I
say
thou
doest
wrong
thy
Ladie
,
in
not
letting
her
know
how
she
is
beloued
,
if
it
be
with
such
truth
as
you
publish
.
And
therfore
because
I
haue
this
day
heard
I
know
not
what
of
the
Princesse
Solesia
,
thou
shalt
tell
me
what
I
demaund
,
and
on
my
faith
none
shall
know
it
,
but
whom
thou
wilt
.
You
haue
no
reason
to
binde
me
to
any
thing
,
(
excellent
Ladie
replied
I
)
knowing
I
will
till
death
obey
your
commaund
.
Shee
answered
.
Why
then
we
shall
not
so
ill
disagrée
as
I
thought
:
the
thing
therefore
I
would
knowe
,
is
,
thou
must
tell
me
if
thy
Lady
be
heere
or
no
,
and
her
name
withall
,
without
delay
and
circumstance
:
for
I
shall
thereby
receiue
the
greatest
pleasure
in
the
world
,
and
with
the
contrary
,
excéeding
discontent
,
which
will
bee
immerited
,
and
no
iust
guerdon
for
what
I
meane
to
do
for
thée
?
You
may
easily
conceiue
(
valiant
Knights
)
what
conflicts
I
might
indure
of
contrarious
thoughts
,
not
knowing
the
successe
that
might
ensue
,
if
by
telling
troth
,
I
did
condiscend
vnto
her
demaunde
.
Somewhat
amazed
stoode
I
a
while
,
in
so
much
that
shee
saide
:
you
must
not
deuise
excuses
,
for
it
will
fall
out
woorse
,
if
you
offend
me
so
.
I
answered
.
None
did
I
deuise
(
diuine
Pollinarda
)
but
I
rather
began
to
incourage
my selfe
,
to
passe
my
life
in
your
disgrace
,
for
nought
else
can
redowne
heereby
,
but
kindle
your
fléeping
wrath
.
Bee
it
what
it
will
,
(
saide
shee
)
for
I
am
pleased
with
the
knowledge
.
Why
then
(
replied
I
)
know
(
soueraigne
Princesse
)
shée
is
in
this
Cittie
,
and
of
the
selfe
same
name
that
you
are
of
,
in
which
repitition
I
offend
her
.
Shee
procéeded
further
,
saying
.
And
haue
you
neuer
spoken
with
her
?
now
did
I
tremble
with
feare
,
and
then
imagined
a
thousand
deuises
,
yet
in
the
end
I
replied
,
Soueraigne
Ladie
,
your
excellency
so
farre
vrgeth
this
matter
,
that
I
cannot
steppe
from
hence
,
fearing
to
méete
with
death
,
vnlesse
you
seeke
his
lifes
ouerthrow
that
was
borne
to
serue
you
.
She
replied
:
I
wil
haue
you
tel
me
all
,
for
I
wil
take
it
as
one
that
procures
your
good
,
as
you
haue
partly
séene
.
Whereto
I
answered
falling
on
my
knées
:
Presuming
on
your
Royall
word
and
fauours
(
sacred
Ladie
)
I
cannot
deny
but
I
am
yours
,
imploring
pardon
for
this
fault
(
if
it
be
any
)
worthie
of
worse
punishment
then
death
.
It
did
not
gréeue
her
to
heare
me
say
she
was
the
Quéene
my
heart
had
chosen
to
imperate
ouer
it
,
and
my
soule
:
but
rather
taking
holde
by
my
King
(
the
marke
of
my
slauery
)
which
for
my
pleasure
I
often
put
on
,
shée
raised
me
,
saying
:
Very
plainely
hast
thou
(
Florisiano
)
exprest
thou
louest
me
,
and
if
thy
constancie
wherewith
thou
doest
it
,
be
as
thou
saiest
,
so
I
may
enioy
a
heart
so
sincere
,
and
second
to
none
,
I
giue
thée
leaue
to
do
so
stil
,
regarding
the
secrecy
due
to
my
honor
,
vntil
the
heauens
shall
minister
those
meanes
wherewith
I
may
asswage
thy
griefes
.
I
required
her
hands
,
I
could
doo
no
lesse
,
to
kisse
them
)
more
glad
,
then
had
I
bene
inuested
sole
Emperor
of
the
wide
world
,
and
yet
that
had
not
so
pleased
me
.
She
commanded
me
to
take
off
my
King
,
séeing
Fortune
had
now
fauoured
me
,
wherto
I
replied
:
Oh
let
not
your
excellency
commaund
me
to
put
off
that
thing
wherewith
the
heauens
haue
begun
to
worke
my
ioy
,
lest
Fortune
enemy
to
all
content
,
séeing
me
no
more
a
slaue
,
should
tryumph
ouer
my
glory
:
And
though
I
be
a
king
in
louing
,
and
the
most
glorious
and
frée
in
being
beloued
,
let
me
kéepe
this
as
a
memoriall
:
I
am
and
wil
be
yours
while
my
life
shall
endure
,
the
which
loosing
it
in
your
seruice
,
will
be
the
happiest
and
richest
losse
in
this
terrene
Orbe
.
If
it
be
so
,
weare
it
(
replied
the
Mistresse
of
my
life
)
and
yet
the
taking
it
off
,
should
nothing
impaire
my
affection
,
which
now
is
only
imployed
in
your
Loue
.
Thus
was
the
Soueraigne
of
my
soule
,
weauing
this
swéete
webbe
of
my
life
,
on
the
delicate
Loome
of
both
our
contents
,
when
blinde
Fortune
Mistresse
of
mischaunce
,
being
weary
and
angry
that
she
had
helped
me
that
litle
moment
of
time
,
brought
it
about
I
know
not
by
what
meanes
,
that
our
Loues
till
then
became
suspitious
in
Court
,
nay
further
procéeds
my
woes
,
(
Oh
I
cannot
without
teares
say
more
)
it
came
to
the
Kings
eares
:
who
desirous
to
be
assured
of
so
dishonourable
a
déede
,
as
to
be
beloued
of
the
Princesse
,
he
had
hidde
himselfe
in
that
roome
vnknowne
to
me
that
very
night
:
and
séeing
by
experience
what
he
had
suspected
,
he
issued
forth
inraged
like
a
mad
man
.
I
yet
was
on
my
knées
,
when
he
came
forth
,
and
finding
me
in
that
manner
,
he
tooke
me
by
the
collor
,
and
drawing
my
ponyard
,
said
:
Oh
infamous
miscreant
,
Turkish
dogge
,
hast
thou
thus
wronged
the
trust
reposed
in
thée
?
The
punishment
inflicted
on
thée
,
shall
bee
a
sufficient
example
to
all
others
such
disloyall
wretches
as
thy
owne
selfe
.
I
had
no
eyes
to
looke
him
in
the
face
,
nor
tongue
to
answere
him
,
though
I
wanted
not
hands
to
shead
his
blóod
,
had
not
my
Ladyes
and
my
friend
Lysanders
displeasure
and
discontent
thereby
stayed
me
.
Hée
snatched
at
her
so
furiously
,
that
shee
almost
fell
vpon
her
face
,
saying
.
I
had
not
thought
(
Minion
)
thy
wanton
boldnesse
would
so
haue
made
thée
passe
the
limits
of
shame
and
grace
,
as
to
bestowe
thy
affection
on
a
slaue
?
He
cried
to
those
that
awaighted
without
,
whereat
foure
knights
rushed
in
,
who
straight
conueied
me
to
prison
,
where
I
thoght
they
would
closely
murther
me
:
the
which
I
had
gladly
receiued
,
so
shee
were
not
hardly
handled
,
that
had
so
bountifully
fauoured
mee
.
The
king
did
commit
her
,
but
knowing
our
affection
had
beene
no
other
then
he
had
séene
,
hee
straight
(
for
hee
loued
her
dearely
)
forgaue
her
,
turning
all
his
rage
vpon
poore
Florisiano
.
Oh
,
magnanimious
Knights
,
with
how
many
millions
of
brinish
teares
did
I
bewayle
that
losse
?
it
was
beléeue
me
the
greatest
in
the
world
,
for
none
in
so
short
time
could
bee
so
happie
as
I
,
nor
none
againe
so
vnhappie
.
Nothing
I
did
,
but
exclaime
lamenting
,
and
with
woes
tormenting
my
afflicted
selfe
.
At
length
,
being
so
many
,
some
pierced
the
high
heauens
,
moouing
the
immortall
Gods
to
pittie
and
comiseration
,
appointing
a
meanes
on
earth
to
redéeme
me
:
for
the
Noble
Lysander
being
mooued
at
my
disgrace
,
by
pollicy
procured
my
Gailors
to
release
me
of
my
Irons
and
boltes
,
that
I
might
escape
through
a
window
,
and
saue
my
life
.
I
gréeued
no
lesse
to
depart
from
Pollinarda
,
at
that
time
(
though
in
her
grace
and
fauour
)
then
at
first
when
like
an
enemie
I
ran
from
her
.
Yea
more
then
this
did
my
friend
sollicit
in
my
behalfe
:
for
hee
went
to
his
sister
,
and
discouered
to
her
the
whole
secret
of
my
affaires
,
telling
her
,
I
was
the
Knight
in
yealowe
,
and
hee
that
slewe
her
Agesilao
,
then
louing
her
more
then
now
.
I
neuer
would
tell
any
who
else
I
was
,
because
I
vowed
it
from
the
beginning
,
onely
to
procure
her
fauour
or
disfauour
,
without
that
regard
and
respect
wherein
I
might
bee
hadde
,
beeing
knowne
to
bee
Prince
of
Apulia
,
and
had
not
your
valour
and
curtesies
bound
me
thereto
,
none
should
haue
knowne
it
.
The
Lady
did
not
gréeue
at
this
swéete
complot
of
Loue
,
but
rather
it
kindled
in
her
some
new
affection
.
So
was
I
visited
in
prison
from
her
:
which
reuiued
my
hopes
,
and
added
new
life
to
my
dying
powers
.
To
pleasure
the
Prince
Lysander
,
my
Gaylors
tooke
from
me
my
gyues
.
The
Lady
Mistresse
of
my
life
,
knew
the
night
of
my
departure
,
and
hauing
sometimes
before
written
vnto
me
by
her
brother
,
yet
then
she
exprest
the
vtmost
of
her
Loue
:
for
I
was
no
sooner
downe
in
the
Garden
ouer
which
the
windowe
was
that
I
leaped
through
,
when
among
a
certaine
company
of
trées
I
heard
a
noyse
.
Supposing
it
could
be
none
that
would
do
me
such
pleasure
as
I
after
receiued
,
I
drew
my
weapons
and
went
towards
that
place
,
where
I
was
quickly
pacified
,
séeing
a
knight
I
well
knew
:
who
with
as
much
breuety
as
the
case
required
,
tolde
me
,
that
my
Lady
sent
me
a
Letter
with
money
and
Iewels
for
my
escape
.
I
tooke
all
,
not
knowing
how
to
deserue
so
much
good
as
at
her
hands
I
had
receiued
:
and
making
my
answere
according
to
the
merits
of
those
déeds
,
I
tooke
my
leaue
of
the
knight
and
went
out
of
the
Garden
,
and
trauelled
till
I
thought
I
was
out
of
daunger
,
and
hiding
my selfe
among
certaine
stéepie
Mountaines
,
I
vnripped
the
Letters
seale
,
and
by
the
clearenesse
of
the
Moone
,
that
then
shyned
,
I
read
it
thus
.
Pollinardas
Letter
.
THe
greefe
(
kinde
Florisiano
)
to
see
thee
so
depart
from
her
that
had
lodged
thee
in
her
brest
,
is
so
great
,
that
it
will
not
suffer
me
to
be
tedious
,
although
it
bee
my
onely
desire
:
for
seeing
that
going
from
mine
with
such
affection
,
it
must
rest
in
thy
hands
:
it
were
some
comfort
to
me
,
thus
with
thee
to
prattle
longer
.
But
aye
me
,
for
Fortune
thinking
we
shuld
enioy
too
great
a
happinesse
thereby
,
she
doth
bereaue
me
of
my
iudiciall
sences
and
my
bteath
,
yet
not
so
much
,
but
I
haue
strength
to
say
(
though
not
libertie
)
to
auerre
,
that
I
remaine
thine
till
death
:
which
shall
first
attach
me
with
his
grim
pawes
,
then
I
will
grant
an
other
(
yea
)
vnlesse
it
be
to
him
that
hath
long
since
with
such
zeale
and
constant
loue
,
obtained
and
wonne
my
firme
faith
.
The
Gods
preserue
thee
me
,
as
they
know
I
wish
,
and
thou
deseruest
.
Thine
till
death
,
Pollinarda
.
This
Letter
is
it
(
braue
warriors
)
that
comforts
me
,
when
my
gréefe
is
at
greatest
,
and
this
is
the
foode
vnto
my
fainting
life
,
whose
tedious
relation
,
I
am
sure
hath
wearied
you
.
Wherto
Claridiano
said
:
This
kn●●●●
and
my selfe
(
Noble
Prince
)
haue
taken
such
pleasure
at
your
Loues
discourse
,
that
it
cannot
bee
exprest
:
insomuch
,
it
hath
bound
me
to
offer
my
life
in
your
behalfe
,
for
I
protest
,
neuer
to
put
on
Armour
more
,
if
I
deliuer
not
that
Lady
into
your
hands
,
in
spight
of
all
the
world
:
wherefore
let
vs
straight
bee
gone
,
although
it
gréeues
my
very
soule
to
leaue
this
Knight
:
but
your
necessitie
forceth
me
thereto
,
because
her
father
to
bee
rid
of
that
care
,
may
marrie
her
to
the
brother
of
the
deceased
Prince
.
That
onely
is
the
thing
which
most
tormenteth
me
(
answered
the
Apulian
)
for
doubtlesse
it
may
happen
as
you
(
Sir
Knight
)
haue
imagined
:
and
may
the
heauens
recompence
what
now
and
hereafter
you
shall
do
in
my
behoofe
:
and
I
much
desire
to
know
who
you
are
,
that
I
may
venture
with
more
securitie
:
for
all
helpes
will
be
necessarie
to
cope
with
so
puissant
a
King
,
and
a
knight
so
strong
as
Astrenio
.
By
the
way
you
shall
know
that
(
said
the
hastie
Gréeke
)
for
daunger
now
awaites
on
our
delay
.
He
tooke
his
leaue
of
his
vncle
with
more
loue
,
then
when
Pe●●hous
parted
from
Theseus
:
he
promised
to
séeke
him
,
if
matters
succéeded
to
his
content
.
They
all
rose
,
the
Gréeke
Prince
with
Florisiano
,
hasted
to
their
ship
,
wherein
being
imbarked
,
they
launched
into
the
déepe
Ocean
,
where
we
must
leaue
them
,
to
bring
Claramants
to
Constantinople
.
CHAP.
XXX
.
What
happened
in
the
proofe
of
the
Disamorous
Tower
:
and
how
Claramant
arriued
,
and
prooued
it
.
WIth
feare
to
bee
condemned
of
too
much
prolixitie
,
in
the
amorous
discourse
of
the
Prince
of
Apulias
life
,
being
the
thing
I
most
dread
,
and
onely
séeke
to
shunne
:
and
yet
no
small
trouble
did
it
cost
mée
to
refuse
it
,
to
so
briefe
a
summarie
as
I
haue
the
which
I
vrge
for
my
excuse
,
although
it
néed
not
,
if
it
be
read
by
Cupids
vassailes
:
but
whilest
this
is
in
question
,
attend
(
fairest
of
all
faires
)
&
most
beauteous
Ladies
,
for
the
triall
of
the
Tower
is
nothing
but
Loue
.
There
was
none
left
,
but
went
foorth
to
sée
it
,
because
the
fame
therof
drew
them
thither
.
So
many
knights
came
from
the
shippes
,
that
the
Cittie
was
not
able
to
containe
them
all
,
and
euery
one
so
richly
armed
,
that
it
delighted
euery
beholder
.
The
spacious
yard
was
in
a
trice
filled
with
people
:
and
the
Ladies
with
their
beauties
,
made
it
more
glorious
then
the
heauenly
Synode
of
the
Gods
.
For
the
trial
,
there
wanted
no
knights
,
in
that
ere
noone
,
aboue
two
hundreth
shields
accompanied
the
others
that
were
before
hung
vp
,
yet
none
arriued
so
high
as
Brandimardo
,
(
sonne
to
the
great
Affricano
)
that
died
vppon
the
conquest
of
Lyra
,
in
Rosiclers
presence
,
as
was
declared
in
the
second
part
of
this
Historie
.
As
the
Emperours
were
about
to
withdraw
to
dinner
,
there
entred
the
place
,
attended
on
with
a
maiesticke
companie
,
a
cousin
of
Abstrusios
,
no
lesse
valiant
then
he
.
All
in
gréen
armor
hee
was
clad
,
brauely
garnished
with
halfe
Moones
:
the
deuise
on
his
shielde
was
a
Griffion
without
head
,
which
in
his
countrie
in
battell
he
had
slaine
.
As
nimble
as
a
Roe
he
dismounted
,
ascending
the
staires
in
such
haste
,
that
euery
one
thought
he
would
end
the
aduenture
:
but
arriuing
where
the
deceased
Pagan
had
done
,
hoe
was
charged
with
so
many
strong
blowes
,
that
Galtenor
saith
he
could
do
no
more
,
then
raise
one
legge
to
steppe
higher
,
which
was
the
cause
that
with
more
rigor
hee
was
thrust
out
,
and
his
shield
placed
according
to
his
deserts
,
next
to
Brandimardos
.
Great
honor
wonne
Salberno
hereby
,
(
so
was
he
named
)
and
had
in
high
estimation
,
for
(
his
Cousin
excepted
,
that
was
borne
for
the
seas
,
whose
Lieftenant
hee
was
)
none
could
better
order
a
Nauall
battel
then
he
,
as
he
shewed
it
in
the
warres
of
Grecia
.
The
Emperour
to
fauor
the
Captaine
generall
of
his
Fléetes
,
inuited
him
,
which
they
much
estéemed
,
iudging
the
Gréeke
Monarch
the
absolutest
accomplished
in
all
vertues
,
of
any
in
the
whole
vniuerse
besides
:
and
themselues
most
happie
,
to
bee
ioyned
in
amitie
with
such
Princes
.
Away
they
would
go
,
when
a
kinsman
of
Pollidolpho
of
Croatia
shewed
himselfe
,
whose
armes
were
of
an
Indian
colour
full
of
strawberries
.
With
gallant
brauerie
hee
went
towards
the
Tower
,
where
hee
spedde
not
so
ill
,
as
not
to
be
accounted
valiant
,
for
his
shield
was
hung
next
to
the
Troyan
Oristides
.
To
dinner
went
the
Emperors
,
glad
to
sée
what
happened
in
that
triall
,
where
they
were
serued
with
such
maiestie
as
their
estates
required
.
By
themselues
sate
all
the
Ladies
so
exceeding
faire
,
that
Paris
had
doubted
to
which
for
beautie
hee
might
giue
the
golden
apple
.
Nothing
could
please
the
beauteous
Archysilora
,
in
absence
of
her
Gréeke
,
but
rather
gréeued
to
sée
those
feastiuals
,
missing
the
presence
of
her
Prince
.
She
was
a
thousand
times
determined
to
go
and
séeke
him
:
but
shee
left
it
,
supposing
the
fame
of
the
disamorous
Tower
would
draw
him
thither
,
thinking
that
was
he
that
acccompanied
the
knight
of
the
Lyons
,
so
much
shee
iudged
him
to
resemble
Claridiano
.
Great
comfort
was
it
to
her
to
communicate
her
gréefe
with
Rosamond
,
that
incouraged
her
as
one
that
was
frée
of
such
tormenting
passions
,
and
yet
sore
gréeued
for
the
want
of
her
deare
sonne
Roselindo
,
of
whom
she
knew
not
what
was
become
,
and
many
times
shee
was
about
to
demaunde
the
wise
men
for
him
,
had
shee
not
thought
it
too
much
immodestie
.
She
could
not
but
reueale
it
to
her
beloued
Dacian
,
who
dissembled
it
as
much
as
he
could
,
yet
not
without
signes
of
inward
sorrow
in
his
very
soule
:
he
purposed
to
séeke
him
,
first
inquiring
of
his
friend
Nabato
,
the
place
of
his
abode
,
the
which
animated
him
,
perswading
himselfe
hee
would
haue
especiall
care
of
his
welfare
,
beeing
the
thing
that
so
neare
concerned
him
.
Dinner
béeing
ended
,
and
the
table
taken
vp
,
all
that
companie
of
Emperors
,
Kings
,
Princes
,
and
Knights
,
with
all
the
Ladies
,
came
foorth
to
sée
the
new
commers
,
that
were
many
,
to
prooue
the
Tower
.
It
was
woorthie
the
trauell
,
and
to
be
desired
,
what
was
promised
to
the
victor
.
Wherefore
scarce
were
the
Ladies
placed
,
when
with
Princely
grace
there
entred
the
sto●t
Lastorus
,
cosin
to
Don
Silue●io
,
and
Generall
to
the
Hungarians
,
and
of
whom
there
was
good
hope
.
He
shewed
himselfe
to
be
no
lesse
vnbeloued
then
valiant
,
for
his
shield
was
set
next
to
the
Troyans
.
So
many
hasted
to
the
triall
,
that
no
sooner
one
ended
,
but
another
was
readie
.
Among
them
that
best
behaued
themselues
,
was
the
gallant
Lusitanian
,
Archylocus
,
on
Siluerios
brother
,
whose
shield
was
also
equalled
with
the
last
.
In
such
multitudes
were
those
shields
hung
vp
,
that
the
Christaline
Tower
was
almost
full
.
Euerie
one
conuerted
their
eyes
at
one
side
of
the
place
,
because
they
had
espyed
the
famous
Oristoldo
Lord
generall
by
land
,
to
whom
the
Emperour
had
giuen
that
honorable
charge
,
in
respect
of
what
his
father
had
done
for
his
son
,
and
he
for
his
Nephew
.
It
was
aduisedly
done
by
the
Gréeke
,
for
the
world
did
neuer
knowe
a
better
,
nor
more
fortunate
Captaine
,
or
more
skilfuller
in
ordering
of
battel
,
and
presenting
it
in
time
.
He
was
beloued
of
all
,
and
also
of
the
Ladies
,
although
he
had
not
shewne
himselfe
amorous
:
for
he
said
,
there
was
nothing
more
contrarie
nor
troublesome
to
him
that
swayed
any
publicke
commaunde
,
then
to
bee
in
loue
,
and
to
bee
so
,
it
was
necessarie
for
a
man
to
busie
himselfe
in
nothing
but
in
that
new
alienation
,
setting
apart
all
other
cares
.
Accompanied
with
most
of
the
Nobilitie
came
the
valiant
youth
,
all
in
white
armor
garnished
with
knots
of
Gold
and
Azure
.
A
gallanter
knight
had
not
béene
séene
in
that
triall
.
Mounted
he
was
on
a
Roane
Courser
,
with
Caparisons
of
colour
like
his
armes
,
with
so
many
stones
,
that
their
light
dazeled
the
splendor
of
the
Sunne
,
whose
rayes
reuerberating
on
them
,
depriued
the
beholders
sight
.
On
his
head
and
his
owne
Burgonet
,
great
plumes
of
feathers
,
full
of
spangles
of
golde
.
In
middest
of
his
shield
within
a
groue
of
trées
,
hée
himselfe
was
pictured
with
his
hand
vnder
his
chéeke
,
leaning
vpon
a
bloodie
launce
,
at
his
féete
lay
the
God
of
Loue
with
bow
and
arrowes
,
as
vanquished
by
him
:
on
whom
he
séemed
to
gaze
so
carelesly
,
as
if
he
held
his
deitie
in
naught
.
The
posse
was
thus
,
wreathed
about
his
launce
.
Mars
and
Cupid
differ
farre
,
Loue
cannot
agree
with
warre
:
And
till
Mars
and
Loue
agree
,
Looke
not
(
Loue
)
to
conquer
me
.
None
was
more
gazed
on
then
the
braue
Prince
of
Antioche
.
Oh
,
how
gallant
doth
he
come
(
saide
Lyriano
,
who
greatly
tendred
him
)
and
I
am
glad
of
his
libertie
,
by
reason
of
these
Ladies
that
may
well
excuse
it
,
for
were
he
in
loue
,
he
could
not
then
so
well
guard
vs
.
I
am
sorrie
(
replied
Rosiluera
)
that
so
frée
a
knight
should
haue
any
here
to
take
his
part
,
for
I
knowe
not
how
so
great
a
wrong
as
hee
commits
against
Ladies
by
that
cruell
deuise
,
may
bee
satisfied
,
but
by
wishing
the
thraldome
of
his
libertie
.
If
the
world
had
another
Oristoldo
(
aunswered
the
Princesse
)
it
were
good
that
this
were
in
loue
,
and
the
other
the
care
to
kéepe
vs
.
Leaue
we
this
(
said
Rosamond
)
to
sée
what
will
become
of
his
libertie
.
By
this
he
was
arriued
at
the
Tower
,
where
hee
allighted
,
and
drawing
foorth
his
sword
,
mounted
the
staires
with
such
courage
,
that
euery
one
cried
out
:
Lindabrides
would
be
his
.
One
steppe
he
ascended
higher
then
Brandimardo
.
There
he
stayed
,
for
hee
was
charged
with
so
many
blowes
,
that
hee
spedde
woorse
then
any
before
,
although
his
honour
were
greater
.
His
mother
and
the
Princesses
that
loued
him
as
their
sonne
,
made
him
come
where
they
were
,
and
there
the
Ladies
did
disarme
him
with
such
kindnesse
,
as
if
he
were
one
of
the
Gréeke
Princes
.
To
whom
Lyriana
saide
.
I
am
sorrie
(
Prince
Oristoldo
)
that
to
shew
vs
your
libertie
,
to
these
Ladies
gréefes
,
you
haue
sustained
such
trouble
.
He
aunswered
.
Pleasant
is
the
sowrest
(
most
soueraigne
Princesse
)
if
my
will
and
desire
bee
considered
,
although
the
deuise
be
against
my selfe
,
the
which
shall
neuer
kéepe
me
from
being
yours
.
Now
you
haue
lost
the
entrance
(
said
Artemisa
)
you
shew
your selfe
penitent
and
sorrie
for
your
libertie
,
but
you
shal
not
thinke
to
haue
answered
it
with
such
small
satisfaction
.
The
beautie
of
these
two
Ladies
had
something
astonished
the
frée
Prince
:
yet
hee
replied
.
You
shal
not
néed
to
deuise
new
punishments
for
him
,
that
must
&
will
be
alwaies
obedient
to
your
commaunds
(
faire
Ladies
)
and
let
it
be
ynough
,
I
confesse
I
haue
wronged
you
,
that
this
acknowledgement
may
strengthen
my
excuse
,
and
so
lessen
my
fault
,
that
by
purchasing
your
grace
,
I
may
hope
for
an
extenuation
of
my
chastisement
.
That
might
be
(
said
Rosiluera
)
were
not
your
offence
greater
then
may
bee
forgiuen
.
No
more
of
this
vnprofitable
that
(
spake
Archyrosa
)
for
his
libertie
will
sufficiently
hereafter
plague
him
,
as
it
hath
done
many
others
:
and
let
vs
now
inquire
the
reason
of
this
tumult
:
whereat
they
all
looked
to
sée
what
it
was
.
There
was
none
but
said
aloud
.
The
aduenture
is
at
an
end
,
now
the
braue
knight
of
the
Lyons
is
come
.
All
the
Princes
turned
to
sée
his
comming
,
especially
Rosabell
,
beeing
so
greatly
bound
vnto
him
.
What
shall
I
say
of
Archysilora
Quéene
of
Lyra
?
the
changing
colours
of
her
face
deuoted
her
alteration
,
thinking
her
Prince
came
with
him
.
Alreadie
was
this
warlike
Mars
past
the
prease
of
people
,
mounted
on
a
mightie
bay
Courser
,
whose
Caparisons
coloured
like
his
armor
,
were
imbrodered
with
so
many
inestimable
stones
,
that
the
riches
of
them
admired
the
spectators
.
On
the
toppe
of
his
helme
and
horses
head
,
were
large
plumes
of
diuers
coloured
feathers
,
that
the
brauerie
of
both
amazed
the
whole
place
,
that
none
doubted
his
victorie
.
The
Emperor
Alphebo
,
was
he
that
most
reioyced
,
because
he
had
and
did
greatly
loue
that
Princesse
,
whom
he
so
easily
could
not
forget
,
if
she
had
not
béene
alotted
to
his
brother
.
In
middest
of
whose
shielde
,
was
drawne
a
world
round
like
a
globe
,
by
which
a
knight
climed
vp
,
to
the
toppe
whereof
he
wanted
litle
,
whereon
sate
Fortune
,
reaching
him
her
hand
,
with
this
motto
.
If
Fortunes
hand
be
not
a
stop
,
I
will
attaine
the
highest
top
,
The
which
,
if
Fortune
do
deny
,
Fortune
is
too
blame
;
not
I.
No
lesse
pleasure
was
conceiued
at
the
word
then
the
knights
gallant
disposition
:
who
with
admired
Maiestie
past
on
,
making
his
horse
bend
to
the
earth
before
the
Ladies
.
It
amazed
him
to
sée
such
diuine
bewtie
:
he
stood
a
good
a
good
while
rapt
in
contemplation
:
iudging
it
the
rarest
sight
in
the
world
:
and
indéede
he
was
not
deceiued
,
for
so
many
and
so
faire
were
neuer
séene
togither
,
but
there
.
I
would
be
loth
(
saide
the
Princesse
Oliuia
)
the
knight
of
the
Lyons
should
detract
much
time
in
gazing
on
our
beauties
,
so
that
when
hée
would
not
,
he
be
forced
to
loose
the
forbidden
entrance
,
not
for
want
of
valour
,
but
by
his
yéelding
to
loue
.
There
is
none
heere
but
wishes
his
good
in
all
things
(
spake
the
Quéene
of
Lyra
)
for
by
his
meanes
we
were
all
made
ioyfull
.
Oh
,
let
mee
kéepe
company
with
such
happie
knights
(
saide
Artemisa
)
whose
disdaine
towards
Ladies
,
nor
their
comming
against
them
so
openly
to
approoue
themselues
their
aduersaries
,
in
Venus
lawes
,
will
not
diuert
their
affection
from
them
.
The
desire
they
haue
to
become
Louers
(
aunswered
the
Empresse
Claridiana
)
helpes
them
to
be
beloued
:
but
let
vs
not
not
loose
the
sight
of
his
high
déeds
:
for
I
haue
great
hope
of
his
victorie
.
There
is
none
here
but
hath
the
like
,
wishing
it
with
their
very
soules
(
replied
Lyriana
)
and
therevpon
I
doubt
not
but
he
should
finde
some
one
heere
that
would
vndertake
the
combat
about
the
same
.
By
this
the
furious
youth
was
arriued
at
the
Tower
gate
,
where
he
dismounted
,
and
stucke
his
launce
in
the
ground
,
whereat
hee
tyed
his
horse
with
such
beauerie
,
that
euery
one
applauded
his
behauiour
.
His
shield
hee
tied
to
his
saddle
pummell
,
and
taking
his
Axe
,
with
soueraigne
grace
he
paced
towards
the
entrance
,
whose
passage
many
iudged
too
small
,
considering
his
fearefull
aspect
.
For
raising
aloft
his
mightie
axe
,
making
the
blade
shine
with
her
glittering
brightnesse
,
and
he
beeing
one
of
the
best
proportioned
knights
on
the
earth
(
so
he
were
no
Gyant
)
for
he
was
nine
foot
in
height
,
and
of
most
strong
and
euen
composed
members
,
all
which
were
apparant
tokens
of
his
excessiue
strength
.
Scarce
did
hee
beginne
to
mooue
to
enter
the
Tower
,
when
there
was
heard
the
horrible
sound
of
new
warlike
instruments
,
with
such
cries
and
clamors
of
people
,
that
it
séemed
a
whole
hoste
was
within
.
Vpon
the
toppe
of
the
Tower
appeared
squadrons
of
armed
knights
,
whence
also
were
discharged
infinit
péeces
of
Ordinance
.
Many
hideous
shrikes
,
gaue
warning
that
the
fierce
scourge
of
their
house
was
come
.
This
is
no
impediment
to
forbid
his
mounting
the
staires
,
for
as
if
hée
walked
on
the
plaine
ground
,
he
ascended
them
to
the
very
top
,
whence
new
cries
rezounded
,
and
newe
kéepers
were
séene
to
defend
him
from
taking
the
key
of
the
Tower
.
A
good
while
he
laboured
in
this
rigorous
conflict
:
in
the
end
,
setling
himselfe
strongly
on
his
féete
,
hée
past
his
axe
into
his
left
hand
,
and
with
his
right
hee
got
the
key
,
wherewith
hee
opened
the
Tower
gate
,
whereat
a
new
alarum
was
sounded
,
which
put
the
battel
in
some
doubt
.
For
foure
vgly
deformed
Gyants
were
placed
at
the
doore
,
in
defence
whereof
they
executed
wonders
,
hauing
no
other
care
but
to
prohibit
the
entrance
.
Oh
who
would
not
delight
to
sée
our
warlike
youth
,
within
the
narrownesse
of
the
gate
,
take
the
axe
by
the
middle
,
wherewith
he
misses
no
blowe
,
and
that
which
he
executeth
,
daunts
the
place
with
chill
cold
feare
,
but
not
those
that
were
onely
set
there
to
receiue
them
,
though
the
God
of
battels
had
discharged
then
,
yet
could
they
not
bee
greater
then
these
.
Not
without
great
labour
and
toyle
hee
thrust
himselfe
among
them
,
where
his
déeds
were
admirable
:
yet
he
toyled
in
vaine
,
for
vnlesse
hée
cleaued
their
heads
,
hee
cannot
frée
himselfe
from
them
,
because
therein
consisted
all
their
strength
.
But
now
Fortune
was
of
his
side
,
and
content
that
beauteous
Princesse
should
be
set
at
libertie
,
and
end
so
many
her
troubles
,
by
enioying
him
,
the
heauens
had
so
long
since
promised
her
:
for
laboring
in
this
cruell
fight
,
giuing
and
receiuing
mightie
blowes
,
by
good
chance
hee
reached
one
with
the
blade
of
his
axe
vpon
the
head
.
Hee
cleft
it
downe
to
the
breast
,
thinking
hee
had
cut
a
rocke
,
so
hard
hee
found
it
.
At
the
very
instant
he
vanisht
out
of
sight
,
whereby
he
supposed
their
inchauntment
lay
there
.
Wherevpon
hee
beganne
to
stretch
himselfe
at
length
with
his
axe
,
as
a
cunning
maister
of
his
weapon
.
Euery
one
in
the
place
plainly
beheld
him
,
for
the
walles
of
the
Tower
were
so
transparant
,
that
all
was
séene
,
what
ere
was
done
in
the
first
Hall
.
Some
alteration
did
Claridiano
féele
within
her
Iuorie
breast
,
remembring
what
troubles
and
daungers
shee
had
indured
and
past
,
all
caused
by
that
Princesse
.
And
Meridian
was
also
confounded
in
imagination
of
opposed
thoghts
,
which
excéedingly
gréeued
him
:
for
if
his
sister
were
liberated
,
his
fathers
large
Emperie
should
be
hers
:
but
so
he
might
sée
her
,
hee
was
content
for
that
time
to
omit
those
cogitations
,
and
turned
his
eyes
on
the
haughtie
knight
,
that
representing
firie
Mars
within
the
Tower
,
had
by
this
slaine
another
.
The
valiant
youth
made
sure
account
of
the
victorie
,
knowing
where
their
strength
lay
.
So
hee
extended
all
his
,
to
end
the
battell
with
them
,
thinking
their
deaths
would
ende
the
enterprise
.
Hee
made
as
if
hee
feared
them
,
that
they
might
with
vnaduised
haste
follow
him
.
It
fell
out
as
hee
desired
,
and
so
fetching
about
the
ingratefull
Athenian
axe
,
hee
discharged
it
with
the
vtmost
of
his
furie
,
on
the
top
of
the
ones
helme
,
that
both
it
and
helme
was
cleaft
to
the
waste
.
Hauing
thus
done
,
he
determined
to
close
with
the
last
,
but
ere
hee
cast
his
armes
about
him
,
hee
ranne
against
him
so
hard
with
his
shoulders
,
that
hee
thrust
him
from
him
,
with
more
furie
then
hee
had
béene
driuen
by
a
culuerins
shot
,
and
before
hee
recouered
himselfe
,
the
vnresisted
axe
did
hit
him
on
the
head
,
doing
by
it
as
by
the
others
.
The
Gréeke
thought
he
had
now
ended
his
businesse
,
but
it
happened
otherwise
:
for
two
knights
of
gallant
disposition
,
presented
themselues
before
him
,
without
eyther
Armes
or
weapons
,
sauing
Rapiers
and
Daggers
.
They
issued
forth
on
the
sudden
,
but
with
the
sound
of
millitarie
instruments
,
that
gaue
signall
to
a
new
fight
.
The
one
said
:
Most
valiant
knight
,
séeing
the
happiest
immured
within
this
Tower
must
not
be
with
Armour
,
which
wee
willinglier
would
haue
done
,
the
better
to
eschew
your
furious
blowes
:
but
wee
are
commaunded
the
contrarie
:
and
therefore
,
we
are
forced
,
and
dare
not
but
obey
:
wherefore
,
if
you
will
terminate
the
battle
,
and
thereby
conclude
the
aduenture
,
you
must
presently
put
off
your
Armour
,
for
our
Combatte
is
permitted
onely
with
Rapiers
and
Daggers
.
Somewhat
astonished
was
the
Gréeke
,
séeing
he
must
leaue
his
Armour
,
but
it
lasted
not
long
,
because
he
would
not
bee
taynted
with
cowardise
,
and
so
hee
thus
made
aunswere
:
I
am
content
(
Syr
Knights
)
although
it
bee
no
good
custome
,
if
wee
may
vse
our
Armes
,
to
put
them
off
in
such
necessarie
occasion
.
At
that
instant
he
set
his
axe
against
the
wall
,
and
vngyrting
his
sword
,
and
dooing
the
like
by
it
.
The
two
Knights
had
such
care
,
and
were
so
vigilent
to
watch
these
two
weapons
,
that
hee
was
scarcely
disarmed
,
when
swifter
thou
an
Eagle
they
presently
snatched
them
away
,
that
his
nimblesse
was
not
able
to
prohibit
it
.
Hee
neuer
sawe
himselfe
in
daunger
of
death
vntill
now
:
for
they
of
the
Tower
with
those
weapons
are
become
more
furious
then
himselfe
.
They
said
:
Dead
art
thou
Knight
,
for
thy
fiercenesse
cannot
deliuer
thée
from
our
handes
.
Onely
with
his
dagger
did
the
Gréeke
youth
finde
himselfe
,
wherewith
conioyned
to
his
inuincible
and
neuer
daunted
courage
,
hee
beganne
to
defend
himselfe
,
and
with
seldséene
brauery
to
maintaine
what
hee
had
wonne
,
to
the
extreame
gréefe
of
all
that
beheld
him
:
the
which
,
togither
with
the
sorrow
conceiued
to
sée
him
so
disarmed
,
and
my selfe
ouerwearied
,
constraineth
mee
abruptly
to
leaue
this
warre
vnfinished
,
that
after
a
little
breathing
,
I
may
with
fresh
courage
ende
it
in
the
next
part
,
continuing
the
relation
of
the
rare
déeds
,
both
of
the
famous
Gréekes
,
and
valiant
Pagans
,
their
Competitors
.
And
if
herein
I
doo
commit
any
offence
,
let
,
oh
let
your
pardon
and
your
fauours
excéede
my
faults
,
and
then
,
Nec
Laudare
satis
,
dignasque
rependere
grates
Sufficiam
,
referent
superi
