like

rather
performed
a
worke

for
so
soyled
with
infamie
are
these
passions
as
hell
ought
to
be

not

of

PRIDE
proceedeth
from
mans
ouerweening

giuen

and
reuenge

groweth

But
these
two
yokefellowes
INGRATITVDE
and
ENVIE
,
doe
degenerate
from
kinde
,
and
maske
without
visard
of
excuse
.
The
other
pursue
their
enemies
and
seeke
to
breake

the
barres
of
their
aduauncement
:
but
the
one
of
these
woundeth
his
friend

whom
he
ought
to
honour
,
and
the
other
reprocheth
vertue
,
whom
the
wicked
reuerence

And
least
,
Time
,
the
true
exposer
of
Secrets
,
reproche
me
,
as
a
Fosterer
of
both
these
dampnable
vices
.
Of
Ingratitude
,
in
not
acknowledging
,
many
receiued
fauours
,
of
a
Right
noble
Italian
Gentleman
.
Of
Enuie
,
in
smouldring
his
most
cleare
vertues
:
who
with
a
zealous
affection
,
oftentimes
in
my
hearing
,
made
his
tongue
,
an
honorable
Trumpet
to
sounde
the
bright
renowne
of
her
Maiesties
excellencie
(
as
he
sayd
,
and
I
beleeue
vppon
earth
)
the
fountaine
of
grace
and
goodnes
:
who
vsed
her
sacred
name
,
with
such
a
reuerent
regard
,
as
in
his
behauiour
,
I
noted
the
full
consideration
of
a
dutifull
subiect
,
denized
by
the
eternall
fame
,
of
her
Highnes
deuine
Grace
.
So
that
desirous
to
erect
some
Memorial
Monument
of
his
worthines
,
I
haue
taken
vpon
me
to
be
the
Secretarie
of
a
few
,
of
many
his
precious
vertues
:
Which
I
humbly
present
vnto
your
honor
,
with
a
hand
redy
to
doe
you
effectuall
seruice
:
and
a
tongue
confessing
,
that
you
shall
herein
beholde
,
the
least
part
of
those
glorious
giftes
,
which
eternize
your
name
,
and
binde
the
generall
multitude
,
to
honour
your
Counterfet
,
for
whose
benefite
,
I
haue
likewise
committed
to
memorie
,
the
ciuill
disputations
,
and
speaches
of
sundry
well
Courted
Gentlemen
,
and
Gentlewomen
,
his
Guestes
,
during
the
time
of
my
intertainment
,
with
Segnior
Phyloxenus
(
for
so
couertly
I
name
him
,
least
in
giuing
him
his
true
honorable
Tytles
in
England
,
I
should
make
a
passage
for
Enuie
,
to
iniurie
him
in
Italy
)
whose
exercises
,
if
my
penne
hath
not
maimed
them
in
the
reporting
,
may
be
a
president
of
behauiours
to
the
indifferent
well
qualited
Gentleman
and
Gentlewoman
:
Besides
,
a
true
Anatomie
of
the
inconueniences
,
which
eclypse
,
&
of
the
vertues
which
expresse
the
glory
of
Marriage
:
an
estate
both
honorable
and
diuine
:
honorable
,
in
that
,
she
is
imbraced
of
all
men
:
diuine
,
because
in
the
last
yeare
of
their
life
she
(
in
dispite
of
death
)
maketh
men
to
liue
a
new
terme
,
in
their
children
and
posteritie
:
not
vnlike
to
a
leafe
fallen
Rose
,
which
in
his
stalke
hath
many
tender
buddes
:
Which
bare
report
of
mine
:
I
reuerently
protect
vnder
the
Garde
,
of
your
honors
regarded
vertues
:
A
bare
report
,
I
Christen
it
:
for
,
whatsoeuer
is
praise
worthy
in
this
Booke
,
belongeth
to
Segnior
Phyloxenus
and
his
Courtly
fauourers
:
and
what
is
worthlesse
,
is
the
blame
of
my
imperfect
iudgement
:
So
that
,
besides
the
protection
,
I
am
humbly
to
craue
,
that
your
Honor
will
receiue
whatsome-euer
is
due
to
them
,
with
a
fauorable
countenance
,
and
to
pardon
the
vnsufficiencie
of
their
Trowchman
:
with
an
imagination
,
that
his
Present
,
is
the
testimonie
of
a
duetiful
affection
:
Who
zealously
prayeth
,
that
your
vertues
maye
haue
as
full
power
ouer
Enuie
,
as
they
haue
Aucthoritie
to
command
the
willing
mindes
of
the
best
inclined
dispositions
:
Of
which
number
,
it
may
please
you
of
fauour
,
though
not
of
merit
,
to
account
me
.

GEORGE
WHETSTONS

Vnto
the
friendly
Reader
,
Wealthe
and
welfare
.
FRiendly
Reader
,
I
present
thee
heere
(
as
I
thinke
)
a
profitable
,
vnpolyshed
labour
:
For
,
he
that
is
the
Troucheman
of
a
Straungers
Tongue
,
may
well
declare
his
meaning
,
but
yet
shall
marre
the
Grace
of
his
Tale
:
And
,
therefore
,
Themistocles
,
the
noble
Captayne
and
Philosopher
of
Athens
,
compareth
suche
forced
Speaches
,
to
Tapistrie
Hangings
rowled
vp
:
which
,
beyng
open
,
appeare
beautifull
:
and
fowlded
,
reserue
their
Uertue
,
but
lose
their
showe
:
But
I
expect
(
somwhat
)
better
euent
,
then
may
an
Interpreter
,
that
is
bownd
to
a
present
Reporte
:
for
my
Respit
,
hath
ben
sufficient
to
consider
of
Segnior
Phyloxenus
,
and
his
honorable
companies
vertues
:
and
(
least
by
rash
acquitall
of
their
fauours
,
I
should
do
iniurie
,
to
their
reputation
)
I
haue
,
with
well
aduised
Iudgement
,
bethought
mée
,
of
suche
memorable
Questions
and
Deuices
,
as
I
heard
and
sawe
presented
,
in
this
most
noble
Italian
Gentlemans
Pallace
,
the
Christmas
tweluemoneths
past
:
and
aunswerable
to
my
weake
capassitie
,
haue
exposed
that
same
,
in
such
sort
,
as
if
thou
art
not
too
curious
,
may
delight
,
and
content
thée
:
and
if
not
too
carelesse
,
may
directe
,
and
benefit
thée
:
And
to
satisfie
thée
,
wherin
:
I
giue
thée
friendly
knowledge
,
that
Segnior
Philoxenus
reuerent
regard
of
the
Quéenes
Maiesties
high
Uertues
,
is
a
President
for
thée
:
with
a
dutiful
,
and
vnfained
heart
,
to
loue
,
feare
,
and
obay
her
Highnesse
,
from
whome
,
next
vnder

,
thou
receiuest
such
swéete
blessinges
:
as
through
the
whole
world
,
her
excellencie
is
renowned
,
and
thy
prosperitie
enuied
.
By
this
noble
Gentlemans
ciuill
intertainment
of
strangers
,
thou
mayste
perceyue
with
what
Garland
,
Courtisie
,
is
principally
crowned

By
the
ciuill
behauiours
,
of

,
Bergetto
,
and
other
Gentlemen
herein
named
,
thou
haste
a
President
of
gouernment
,
which
will
commend
thée
:
and
by
well
regarding
their
spéeches
,
thou
shalt
finde
a
discréete
methode
of
talke
,
méete
for
a
Gentleman
.
The
lyke
benefit
,
shall
Gentlewomen
receiue
,
in
Imitating
,
of
Madona

(
Quéene
of

Maria

Besides

a

néedefull

,
and
witty
sayinges
,
to
perfect
the
commendation
,
both
of
a
Gentleman
,
and
Gentlewoman
.
(
Courteous
Reader
)
thou
haste
heare
,
the
honorable
institution
of
Marriage
,
so
perfectly
Anatomed
,
as
a
verye
weake
Iudgement
,
may
sée
the
causes
,
which
make
Houshould
quarrelles
,
to
resemble
Hell
.
Againe
,
the
man
,
which
is
willing
to
liue
happily
,
may
here
learne
such
directions
,
and
lawes
,
as
will
chaunge
his
priuate
house
,
into
a
Paradice
on
earth
.
If
ciuill
and
Morall
pleasures
,
withall
these
benefites
,
may
make
thée
intertaine
thys
booke
and
report
well
of
the
Aucthor
.
I
assure
thée
thou
shalt
be
pleased
,
and
I
satisfied
.
But
if
thou
makest
thy
tongue
,
enemie
to
thy
owne
reputation
,
thou
mayest
detract
,
but
not
reproche
the
worke
:
Iniure
,
but
not
hurt
the
writer
,
for
both
will
liue
,
and
laugh
such
Callumniators
to
scorne
,
when
either
are
readie
to
doe
the
discrete
Reader
seruice
.
Some
will
(
perchaunce
more
of
enuie
to
heare
a
stranger
commended
,
then
of
pittie
to
bemone
my
hard
fortune
,
or
fowle
vsage
)
say
,
I
haue
as
iust
cause
to
complaine
,
of
iniuries
receiued
at
Roane
,
Rome
,
and
Naples
,
as
to
commend
the
vertues
and
good
intertainment
,
of
Signior
Philoxenus
:
But
to
giue
such
Suggestioners
a
double
good
example
,
both
of
patience
and
thankefulnesse
:
I
heare
protest
,
that
as
these
iniuries
begunne
,
with
my
hard
fortune
,
so
they
ended
,
no
wayes
in
my
discredite
:
And
as
I
forgeue
the
causes
of
my
mishaps
,
so
scorne
I
,
to
recount
them
,
to
receiue
amendes
,
in
a
little
pittie
.
But
,
for
that
they
,
and
all
such
as
vew
my
Report
,
may
learne
of
me
to
bee
gratefull
for
receiued
benefites
:
I
make
it
knowen
:
That
this
trauell
,
is
Segnior
Philoxenus
due
:
And
I
still
his
debter
,
and
so
shall
remayne
during
my
life
:
reseruing
a
good
affection
,
to
bestow
on
such
as
receiue
his
Uertues
:
and
my
paynes
to
profite
and
commend
them selues
.
And
in
my
opinion
,
it
is
iust
they
doe
so
:
Wherfore
,
to
giue
a
disgrace
to
ceremonies
,
gentle

I
ende

mée
so

fronted
with

Marble
,
supported
on

with

Pillers
of

ouer
the
thrée
Portalles

stood
the

At
the
entry
of
this
stately
Hall
,
I
was
receiued
by
the
Lord
of
the
Pallace
,
accompanied
with
diuers
Gentlemen
of
good
quallytie
,
with
so
ciulll

intertaynment
,
as

before

past
any

I
began
to
recount
the
Aduenture
which
brought
me
thither
,
and
craued
his
honourable
fauour
for
my
dispatch
:
Why
?
then
(
quoth
Segnior
Phyloxenus

for
so
(
for

I
name
the
Lord
of

I
thanke
your

Fortune
for
arriuyng
you
here
,
to
do

this
honour
:
No
hard
,
but
happy
Fortune
(
quoth
I
)
if
I
may
liue
to
honouryou
with
my
effectual
seruice
:
Well
(
quoth
he
)
after
your
wéerie
trauaile
,
it
is
more
néedeful
to
prouide
for
your
repose
,
then
for
a
further
Iorney
,
and
so
lead
me
the
way
into
a
faire
great
Chamber
,
richly
hung
with
Tapistrie
:
the
Roof
wherof
,
was
Allablaster
plaister
,
embost
with
many
curious
deuises
in

,
&
in
sundrie
places
in

was

was
A

full

you
liue
abroad

without

Wherefore
,
in

Soueraigne
,
whose

armeth
al
true
knights
,
with
an
earnest
desire
to
doo

I

,
to

on

,
or

the

Sir
(
qd
I
)
the
vertue
of
these
honorable
thoughts
blaseth
the
true
magnanimity
of
a
noble
mind
,
which
,
measureth
not
your
fauour
by
the
desart
of

,
but
with
the
ryaltie
of
your
heart
,
&
so
binde
thousands
in
recognisance
Ciches
:
hauing
a
fayre
prospect
into
a
goodly
Garden
,
beautified
,
with
such
rare
deuises
,
as
deserued
to
be
compared
with
the
earthly
Paradice
Tiuoly
.
And
to
be
bréefe
,
this
Pallace
,
with
all
her
conueiances
,
as
well
necessarie
,
as
of
pleasure
,
fully
mached
the
statelynesse
of
Cardinall
Furnesaes
Pallace
,
buylded
&
beautified
,
with
the
ruinous
Monumentes
of
Rome
,
in
her
pride
:
so
that
the
curiousnesse
there
of
,
was
of
power
to
haue
inchaunted
my
eyes
with
an
immodest
gase
,
had
I
not
remembred
,
that
it
belongeth
vnto
a
Gentleman
Segnior
Phyloxenus
vertues
:
then
to
regarde
his
sumptuous
buyldings
,
who
(
as
I
learned
of
one
of
the
Seruantes
)
all
the
yéere
opened
his
dores
to
euerie
ciuill
Gentleman
,
and
at
Christmas
,
inuited
all
Frenchmen
,
Almain
,
Duch
men
and
other
Gentlemen
,
Straungers
,
intreated
.
The
Madona
Aurelia
,
Sister
to
the
Lorde
of
the
Pallace
,
was
crowned
with
the
Lot
,
whose
worthynesse
was
such
,
as
herein
it
séemed
Fortune
obayed
desert
:
for
there
was
no
Gentlewoman
in
the
trowpe
,
that
Aurelia
excelled
not
in
beautie
,
&
singularity
of
wit
,
nor
no
Gentleman
,
that
her
vertues
inchaunted
not
,
with
more
admiraion
,
then
the
Sirens
swéete
songes
,
the
wether
weried
Sayler
,
so
that
of
the
one
shee
was
crowned
with
Enuy
,
and
of
the
other
with
Honor.
.
But
in
as
much
,
as
this
was
but
the
fyrst
night
of
her
raigne
,
she
referred
the
Proclamation
of
her
lawes
vntill
the
next
daye
,
and
so
dismist
the
at
tendaunce
of
her
subiectes
for
that
night
,
which
(
in
sooth
)
lasted
me
but
a
sléepe
,
so
soundly
after
trauell
,
I
imbraced
mine
ease
.
The
next
Day
no
sooner
appeared
,
but
the
Trumpets
sounded
the

of
Christmas
●…vppon
which
Sommons
,
the
Companie
rose
,
and
(
attired
in
their
most
sump
tuous
wéedes
)
in
the
greate

attended
their
Quéene
Aurelia
,
who
about
Seruice
time
,
(
with
the
Maiestie
of
a
Goddesse
)
presented
her selfe
:
on
whome
,
all
the
Trowpe
waighted
vnto
the
Chappell
,
wheare
the
Seruice
was
not
so
ceremonious
,
as
in
other
Churches
of
Italy
,
and
yet
more
then
agréed
with
Segnior
Phyloxenus
conscience
,
onely
to
geue
no
offence
,
to
the
superstitious
reale
of
others
.
The
Seruice
ended
,
against
the
returne
of
the
company
,
the
Tables
were
couered
in
a
most
stately
Order
,
and
with
the
sownd
of
Trumpettes
,
were
furnished
with
so
many
seuerall
daintie
Disshes
,
as
the

of
the
affaires
set
in
good
order
,
the
Harold
proclaimed
the
lawes
,
whereunto
the
Gentlemen
and
Gentlewomen
were
bounde
,
with
the
penallties
for
the
breach
of
them
.
The

of
Queene
Aurelia
.
FIrst
,
euerie
Gentleman
,
and
Gentlewoman
,
were
coniured
faithfully
to
execute
all
the
charges
,
and
offices
assigned
by
their
Quéene
Aurelia
,
and
that
they
should
be
attendant
of
her

.
Item
euery
Gentleman
was

to

vppon

the
great
Hall
,
among
the
Countrie
Trulles
the
whole
Christmas

And
euery
Gentlewoman
that
had
not
a
Seruant
,
was
iudged
vnworthye
,
to
bee
courted
for
one
wéeke
:
for
his

was
holden
very
small
,
that
coulde
bee
intertained
of

,
and
her

very
crooked
that
was
beloued
of

.
Item

,
vppon
paine
,
to
lose
her

,
and
to

entertained
of
no

For
he
that
was
dissoyall
to

coulde
not
be
holden
faithfull
vnto
an
other
.
Item
euery
Gentlewoman
,
was
bounde
to
imploye
her

Seruaunt
vppon

For
she
that

Item

Item

,
with
the
kissing
of
her

,
vpon

to
be
déemèd
,
vnworthy

.
For
she
of
all
the

Dame
,
that
with
scorne
,
receyueth
dutifull
seruice

For

Item

This

Of

who
although
shee
were
in

wayne
of
her

,
yet
was
she
in
the

.
This
done
,
Quéene
Aurelia
,
by
consent
,
deuided
the
exercises
of
euery
day
,
into
these
times
:
the
forenoone

The

for

among

that

with

THe
next
daye
by

a
Clocke

according
to
one
of
the

in

Proclamation
,
you
might
sée
the
yong
Gentlemen

Gentlewomen
,
coupled
together
lyke
fowles
on
Saint

day
morninge
.
But
Cauiliero
Ismarito
,
hauing
the
eyes
of
his
hart
setteled
vpon
his
Mistresse
beautie
,
with
carelesse
regarde
,
behelde
the
rest
of

:
and
leanyng
by
a
dore
,
thorow
which
she
should
passe
,
he
awayghted
Quéene
Aurelias
comming
.
Who
at
her
accustomed
howre
,
presented
her self
with
an
aduauntage
of
brauerie
,
whom
the
whole
trowpe
reuerently
saluted
,
and
honorably
accompanyed
vnto
the
Chappell
.
After
Seruice
,
Dinner
,
and
all
were
solempnlye
ended
:
Queene
Aurelia
with
a
chosen
company
,
retyred
her selfe
,
into
a
pleasant
drawing
Chamber
,
to
execute
the
reported
NO
ioy
comes
neare
the
heauenly
ioy
of
loue
,
When
we
imbrace
,
the

of
our

.
All
pleasures
els
,
that
kinde
or
Arte
may
moue
,
To
loue
,
are
lyke
,
the
heate
of
paynted
fyre
.
Loue
is
the
roote
,
whereon
swete
thoughts
do
grow
,
Loue
is
the
sowrce
,
from
whence
content
doth
flow
.
¶
When
I
behould
my
Mistresse
in
the
face
,
Loue
from
her
eyes
,
a
thousand
Graces
throwes
.
But
when
in
armes
,
Idoe
her selfe
imbrace
.
One
smyling
looke
exileth
all
my
woes
.
Then
straight
our
lippes
prepare
them selues
to
fight
And
on
eche
kys
,
Loue
seales
a
new
delight
.
¶
What
would
you
more
?
I
wish
me
in
my
graue
,
Were
but
my
soule
with
halfe
these
pleasures
crownde
:
And
heare
on
earth
to
be
my
Misterisse
slaue
,
I
hold
me
free
,
and
others
to
be
bounde
.
Wherfore
,
I
sing
which
I
in
sollace
proue
,
There
is
no
heauen
,
to
lyfe
bestowed
in
loue
.
The
swéet
deliuerie
of
this
sonet
,
so
inchanted
the
harts
of
the
hearers
,
as
for
a
space
,
their
sences
gaue
place
to
the
contemplation
of
their
soules
.
In
the
end
,
Madona
Isabella
by
this
motion
,
made
the
whole
company
a
passadge
for
spéech
.
If
Loue
be
so
swéete
a
passion
(
quoth
she
)
I
muse
from
what
cause
procéedeth
the
complaintes
of
Louers
,
who
with
showering
teares
,
bedeweth
the
earth
:
with
misty
fights
,
dimmeth
the
aire
,
&
with
shril
outcries
pearceth
the
heauens
The
cause
quoth
Soranso
,
procéeds
of
our
fleshly
imperfections
,
which
corruptes
the
nature
of
good
things
,
&
not
of
any
defect
in
loue
:
for
loue
is
a
simple
deuine
vertue
,
and
hath
his
being
in
the
soule
,
whose
motions
are
heauenly
.
I
haue
read
(
qd
Isabella
)
that
there
be
sundry
kindes
of
loue
.
The
vse
of
loue
,
are
diuers
qd
Soranso
,
as
in
zeale
towardes
God
,
in
duty
towardes
our
Countrie
,
in
obedience
towards
our
parents
,
&
in
affection
towards
our
frends
(
qd
Franceschina
,
)
because
that
estate
is
honorable
,
&
yet
subiect
to
crosse
fortunes
:
But
touching
your
conclusion
of
wantonnes
,
(
qd
Faliero
)
vnlesse
you
reuoke
this
sentence
,
we
wil
haue
you
indited
at
Rome
as
an
heretick
,
for
by
the
Popes
Cannons
,
Priests
may
not
marry
:
&
they
haue
a
custom
among
them selues
,
not
to
liue
chast
.
Well
(
qd
Franceschina
,
if
the
Pope
for
this
opinion
,
burne
mée
as
an
heretick
,
good
men
will
cannonise
mée
for
a
vertuous
Uirgin
.
Thease
Digressions
(
quoth
Quéene
Aurelia
,
)
are
the
meanes
(
rather
)
to
worke
a
confusion
of
our
memories
,
Madame
,
(
quoth
Fabritio
)
I
hold
it
good
,
we
obay
your
direction
.
And
for
that
Mariage
,
is
the
most
honourable
euent
of
Loue
:
and
that
a
Single
lyfe
,
is
the
greatest
testimanie
of
Chastytie
:
A
ciuill
Contention
,
to
prooue
which
Trueth
.
Quéene
Aurelia
,
and
the
rest
of
the
company
,
lyked
verie
Subieat
:
and
studing
,
who
weare
the
fittest
to
deale
in
this
Controuersie
,
Aurelia
(
with
a
glaunsinge
eye
)
beheld
,
that
her
seruant
Ifmarito
,
witsafed
no
greater
Token
,
that
he
tooke
delight
in
thease
actions
then
(
sometime
)
Seruant
(
quoth
she
)
your
sober
lookes
,
promiseth
a
hope
that
you
will
vndertake
Dianaes
quarrell
:
but
(
which
wil
serue
in
this
question
)
I
feare
me
,
you
cōn●…aund
Loue
,
so
much
,
as
you
contempne
Mariage
:
And
the
greater
is
my
suspicion
,
in
that
you
are
a
T●…auayleri
the
nature
of
which
Mariage
?
The
reason
is
(
say
they
)
their
Affections
are
poyioned
,
with
the
knowledge
of
womens
so
haynous
euyls
,
as
the●…
dare
not
venter
of
that
vocation
:
But
my
opinion
is
,
they
●…learned
so
many
●…lties
to
de●…
〈◊〉
lesse
w●…
,
as
dandled
with
the
●…ments
of
sundry
Loues
,
they
forsweare
Mariage
,
who
bindes
them
to
one
only
wyfe
:
And
if
you
be
infected
with
the
humour
of
thease
sorte
of
Trauailers
,
you
may
wel
vndertake
this
charge
:
Venus
,
though
she
loue
not
Diana
,
yet
is
she
the
sworn
enemie
of
Iuno
.
And
if
you
be
sound
from
this
infirmitie
,
the
little
haste
you
make
to
marry
,
witnesseth
,
you
honor
Hymen
,
with
no
great
deuotion
,
and
therfore
,
I
commaund
you
too
vse
all
your
possyble
proofes
,
in
the
Defence
of
a
Single
lyfe
:
and
for
your
Assistaunce
,
I
do
appoin●…t
you
,
Lucia
Bella
,
whom
,
this
Charge
can
not
mislyke
,
because
(
as
I
vnderstand
)
she
meanes
to
be
a
professed
Nun
:
You
are
to
encounter
the
opinions
of
many
,
and
therfore
,
arme
your selues
,
with
as
good
reasons
,
as
you
may
.
Madame
(
quoth
Ismarito
)
I
am
so
déepely
bound
vnto
your
commaundement
,
as
I
am
driuen
to
leaue
youre
suggestions
not
answeared
,
and
my
owne
inne●…ency
,
vnexcused
,
&
only
attend
the
incounter
of
him
,
that
wil
maintaine
Marriage
,
to
be
more
worthy
then
a
syngle
life
:
which
vocation
of
Marriage
,
though
I
reuerently
honour
,
yet
I
so
zealously
affect
the
other
,
as
I
hope
(
where
the
Iudges
are
indifferent
)
to
make
the
glory
thereof
to
shine
as
the
faire
white
,
aboue
euery
other
colour
.
Syr
,
quoth
Soranso
,
though
white
be
a
fayre
colour
,
yet
single
lyfe
)
be
precious
,
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
in
the
opinion
of
men
,
yet
is
Marriage
more
precious
,
in
that
,
it
is
a
sacred
institution
of
God
,
and
more
honoured
of
men
:
the
Marryed
are
reuerently
intertained
,
when
the
vnmaryed
are
but
familiarly
saluted
.
The
Maried
in
assemblies
,
are
honoured
with
the
hyghest
places
,
the
vnmarryed
humble
them selues
vnto
the
lowest
.
To
be
short
,
Virginitie
is
the
handmayde
of
Marriage
.
Then
,
by
how
much
the
Master
is
greater
then
the
seruaunt
,
by
so
much
Marriage
is
more
worthy
then
is
single
lyfe
.
I
confesse
quoth
Ismarito
,
Marriage
is
an
honourable
Chastitie
,
is
a
deuine
vertue
,
gouerned
by
the
motions
of
the
soule
,
which
is
immortall
,
and
perticypating
of
the
same
vertue
,
is
alwaies
fresh
and
gréene
.
The
euer-springing
Baye
,
is
the
Metamorphos
of
chast
Daphnè
,
whom
Appollo
,
although
he
weare
a
soueraign
GOD
,
could
not
allure
to
Mariadge
:
which
prooueth
Chastitie
,
a
true
spark
of
Diuinitie
,
whose
twinkling
reflexions
,
so
daseleth
the
eyes
of
imagined
Gods
(
whose
powers
must
néedes
be
more
great
then
the
greatest
of
men
)
as
they
cannot
sée
an
ende
of
their
incontinent
desires
:
where
as
the
beautie
of
Marriadge
,
is
many
times
blasted
by
fortune
,
or
the
frailtie
of
the
Married
.
Therfore
(
think
I
)
by
how
much
deuyne
thinges
are
of
greater
emprise
then
earthlye
;
by
so
much
the
Single
lyfe
,
is
more
worthy
then
then
▪
the
maryed
.
And
in
aduauntage
,
[
qd
Lucia
Bella
]
where
Soranso
sayth
,
that
there
is
great
honour
done
vnto
the
married
,
and
to
the
Single
is
giuen
light
regard
,
I
pray
you
whether
are
Baccus
minions
or
the
Muses
,
most
reuerensed
?
Among
men
,
whose
places
are
hyer
then
the
Cleargies
?
and
amonge
women
,
whose
greater
then
the
religious
Dames
?
They
haue
not
this
preheminence
[
qd
Faliero
]
because
Single
life
,
but
because
their
function
is
more
sacred
then
other
mens
,
who
if
their
prayers
to
GOD
bee
no
more
zealous
,
then
their
vowes
to
chastytie
Ismarito
,
attributes
suche
Glorie
vnto
a
Single
lyfe
,
because
that
Daphne
was
metamorphosed
into
a
Bay
Trée
,
whose
Branches
are
alwayes
gréene
:
In
my
opinion
,
his
reason
is
fayre
lyke
the
Bay
Trée
:
for
the
Bay
Trée
is
barren
of
pleasant
fruict
,
&
his
plesing
words
of
weighty
matter
.
Furthermore
,
what
remembrance
is
theare
of
faire
Sirinx
coynesse
,
refusing
to
be
God
Pans
wife
?
other
then
that
she
was
metamorphosed
into
a
fewe
vnprofitable
Réedes
:
Or
of
Anaxaretes
chaste
crueltie
towardes
Iphis
,
ouer
then
that
she
remaineth
an
Image
of
Stone
in
Samarin
.
Many
other
suche
lyke
naked
Monumentes
remayne
,
of
nice
contempners
of
Marriage
.
But
in
the
behalf
of
Mariage
,
thousands
haue
ben
changed
into
Olyue
,
Pomegranate
,
Mulberie
,
and
other
fruictfull-trées
,
swéete
flowers
,
Starres
,
and
precious
Stones
,
by
whom
,
the
worlde
is
beautified
,
directed
and
noorished
.
In
many
well
gouerned
commen
wealths
,
Sterylitie
hath
ben
reputed
so
vile
,
as
the
Aged
was
of
no
man
honoured
,
the
had
not
children
of
his
own
,
[
to
do
him
reuerence
.
Then
,
by
how
much
those
thinges
,
which
noorish
with
increase
,
are
more
necessarie
then
those
things
,
which
but
simply
please
the
eye
:
by
so
muche
,
the
marryed
,
is
more
worthy
then
the
single
lyfe
.
Sir
,
quoth
Ismarito
,
it
séemeth
that
you
haue
read
a
Single
lyfe
,
with
Barrennesse
,
&
commend
the
fertilytie
of
Mariage
:
But
had
you
showen
the
wéedes
with
the
Corne
,
bare
pasture
wold
haue
retourned
as
great
a
benefit
,
as
your
haruest
.
The
Monsters
,
Serpents
,
and
loathsome
Creatures
,
mentioned
by
Ouide
,
in
his
Metamorphosis
,
were
they
not
I
praye
you
the
fruicts
of
Marriage
?
as
wel
as
the
blessings
,
whiche
you
so
affectedlye
reported
?
Oedippus
was
glad
to
scratch
out
his
eyes
,
because
he
could
not
indure
to
behold
the
vices
of
his
Children
.
The
good
Emperour
Marcus
Aurelius
in
his
aged
daies
,
neuer
rose
that
he

not
:
neuer
dyned
that

not

nor
neuer
went
to

,
that
he
wéeped
not
:
to
heare
,
sée
,
and
consider
,
the
mounstrous
euylls
of
his
Children
.
Admit
the
Married
,
haue
vertuous
Children
,
they
may
dye
when
they
are
yonge
,
then
the
goodnesse
of
their
lyues
,
increaseth
sorrowes
,
by
their
deathes
:
and
where
the
comfort
is
so
doubtfull
,
it
is
not
amisse
to
refuse
the
hazard
of
the
gréefe
:
neither
dyeth
Phenix

tourneth
into
an
other
Phenix

It
is
for
some
Phenix
sake
,
quoth
Quéene
Aurelia
,
that
you
thus
stoutly
defend
a
Single
lyfe
.
I

You
(
quoth
shée
)
it
is
at
my
commaundement
,
but
yet
for
some
others
merit
.
Alvisa
vechio
,
fearing
that
Marriage
wold
receiue
som
disgrace
,
if
that
Quéene
Aurelia
fauoured
the
Defence
Single
lyfe
,
could
not
longer
suppresse
her
affections
,
but
with
a
womans
Impatiencie

blamed
the

of

saued

deale
of

compare

]
Iuno
and
Diana
together
,
and
by
their
callings
,
you
may
easely
iudge
who
is

Diana
(

is

if

withall
considering
how
that
the
controuercy
was
sufficiently
debated
,
commaunded
the
contenders
,
to
kéepe
scilence
:
and
referred
the
qustion
,
to
be
Iudged
by
Fabritio
,
&
Isabella
.
Who
hauing
aduisedly
considered
,
the
reasons
on
both
sydes
,
agréed
that
a
single
chast
lyfe
pleased
God
,
because
,
Chastitie
is
pure
:
and
also
delighteth
man
,
because
,
shée
quieteth
the
mynde
:
but
a
chast
marryed
lyfe
,
bothe
pleaseth
,
and
honoureth
God
:
because
Marriage
,
howrely
,
presenteth
the
world
,
with
the
Image
of
himselfe
:
pleaseth
,
and
profiteth
man
,
because
,
she
giueth
him
a
companyon
,
by
affection
,
chaunged
into
his
owne
disposition
:
of
whom
he
hath
children
,
who
in
dispight
of
death
,
preserueth
him
alyue
.
And
therefore
,
the
sentence
of
them
both
,
was
pronounsed
by
Fabritio
,
in
the
behalfe
of
Marriage
:
who
with
But

,
should
haue
ben
fyred
with

he
cooled

affections
,
with
such
caueats
,
as
they
that
had
their
voyces
ready
tuned
,
to
synge
the
prayses
of
God
Himen
,
were
of
the
suddayne
,
as
mute
as
a
fishe
:
by
reason
whereof
,
Fabritio
,
had
free
passage
:
for
his
counsellinge
reporte
:
who
,
after
many
wordes
,
to
either
purpose
deliuered
,
concluded
with
the
opinion
of
Plato
,
That
Marriage
,
was
a
Parradice
on
earth
,
if
her
Lawes
be
obserued
:
and
a
Hell
in
the
House
,
where
her
Statutes
are
broken
.
The
Gentlewomen
wist
not
what
to
say
,
to
Fabririos
bitterswéete
commendation
of
Marriage
,
vntyll

If

,
by

,

(

will
showe

haue
rather
cause
(
quoth

to
let
Mayster
Doctor
kisse
your
hand
,
(
for
commending
your
kynde
)
then
to
blame
him
,
by
a
surmise

of
iniurye
,
offered
vnto
women
,
for
if
there
be
a
few
good
,
they
couer
the
faults
of
a
number
that
are
euill
:
as
a
litle
golde
,
guildeth
a
great
quantitie
of
iron
:
and
for
any-thing
he
sayde
,
you
haue
as
generall
an
interest
in
vertue
,
as
in
vice
.
Yea
,
but
[
qd
Quéene
Aurelia
]
he
is
to
be
blamed
for
his
intent
,
which
was
euyll
,
&
deserueth
not
to
be
praysed
Madame
(
qd
the
Doctor
)
so
much
greater
is
the
good
,
you
receiue
by
my
Trespasse
,
as
therby
you
are
honoured
with
the
vertue
,
to
forgiue
.
Yea
,
but
(
quoth
she
)
remission
is
to
be
vsed
in
ignorant
offences
,
and
not
in
wilfull
.
My
Habit
(
quoth
he
)
is
a
testionie
that
I
spake
not
of
mallice
.
So
much
[
qd
she
]
the
greater
is
your
fault
,
in
that
it
procéeded
vpon
pleasure
:
and
where
you

priuiledge
your selfe
by

¶
DOCTOR
MOSSENIGO
HIS
Satisfaction
,
for
praysing
women
against
his
will
.
IN
the
famous
Citie
of
Viena
,
in
Austria
,
somtimes
dwelled
a
simple
Sadler
,
named
Borrihauder
,
who
was
married
to
an
olde
crabbed
shrew
,
called
Ophella
:
the
agréement
of
this
couple
was
so
notable
,
as
the
Emperour
Charles
the
fift
,
commaunded
his
Paynter
Parmenio
,
to
draw
their
counterfeats
,
as
a
Monument
of
fury
:
Parmenio
,
commyng
to
doe
the
Emperours
commanndement
,
found
Borrihauder
wéeping
with
the
agony
of
his
wiues
stripes
,
and
Ophellas
chéeks
as
red
as
fire
with
the
heate
of
her
tonge
:
whiche
straunge
sight
,
chaunged
his
determination
,
into
a
pleasaunt
conceit
,
and
in
place
of
their
Counterfets
,
in
a
fayre
table
,
he
drew
an
Element
troubled
with
lightnyng
,
and
vnderwrit
Ophella
,
and
in
another
Table
fastened
to
the
same
,
he
likewise
drew
an
Element
darkned
with
rayne
,
and
vnder
wright
,
Borihauder
.
Parmenio
presented
this
trauel
vnto
the
Emperour
.
The
Emperour
séeing
the
two
names
,
and
not
the
shape
of
those
,
hee
commaunded
to
be
drawne
,
demaunded
the
Paynters
meanyng
héerein
,
who
pleasantly
aunswered
,
that
he
could
not
take
the
view
of
Ophellas
face
,
for
feare
of
being
fyered
with
the
lightning
of
her
tonge
,
and
that
Borihauder
was
drowned
with
teares
,
which
as
showers
of
Raine
folowed
the
thunder
claps
,
of
his
wiues
Fistes
:
But
in
good
time
(
had
she
died
)
this
Demideuill
Orphella
fel
so
extremely
sick
,
as
in
euery
mans
iudgement
,
it
was
néedefull
to
giue
Phisick
to
her
soule
,
but
bootelesse
to
bestow
any
of
her
body
:
Borihauder
séeing
her
,
as
he
thought
at
a
good
passe
,
was
so
accustomed
to
sorrow
,
as
hee
determined
to
toule
her
passing
bel
,
with
this
counterfet
mone
.
Ah
deare
God
(
qd
he
)
how
vnhappy
am
I
to
lose
my
louing
wife
,
my
good
wyfe
,
my
swéet
wife
?
O
how
happy
were
I
,
that
as
we
haue
lyued
together
,
that
we
might
nowe
dye
together
.
This
pittyous
sound
of
her
husband
,
so
melted
the
dying
harte
of
Ophella
,
that
lyke
a
Candle
consumed
,
that
leaueth
a
little
smoke
in
the
wéeke
,
she
lay
both
spéech
les
,
&
senceles
,
saue
that
the
panges
of
death
,
sometymes
threwe
a
weake
breath
out
of
her
mouthe
:
but
lyke
vnto
wilde
fire
,
that
burneth
in
water
,
the
Corsiue
,
that
would
haue
killed
the
deuill
,
in
her
case
,
recouered
her
to
health
,
which
was
her
husband
,
out
of
feare
of
her
life
,
in
dispight
of
the
iniurie
of
time
past
,
fell
to
kisse
and
coll
his
Maide
,
which
watched
his
gasping
wife
,
before
hée
tooke
order
with
the
Clarke
,
to
ring
her
knell
:
which
Ophella
,
as
dim
as
her
sight
was
,
perceiued
,
&
Furie
,
which
was
the
last
motion
,
that
accompanied
her
in
life
,
like
a
whirl
wind
,
that
with
a
suddaine
violence
,
draweth
things
into
the
ayre
,
so
fired
her
hart
with
malice
,
to
sée
her
husband
in
this
iolity
with
her
maide
,
as
madnes
,
gaue
her
the
strength
to
crye
.
Ah
,
ah
,
Traytour
,
I
am
not
yet
dead
,
ah
villain
,
villaine
,
I
am
not
yet
dead
:
and
through
this
passion
,
choller
so
dryed
her
Catar
,
as
shortly
after
,
she
perfectly
receyued
her
health
:
and
so
canuassed
her
husband
Borrihauder
,
as
by
the
motions
of
sorrow
,
&
payne
,
he
hung
himselfe
in
a
Crabtrée
:
O
quoth
Katherina

it
was
great
dammage
that
Thymon
of
Athens
was
not

mallitious
men

The

was
without

and
therefore

able
example

to

Neither
had
Ophela
(
for
any
thinge
we
heare
)
either
heyre

(

then

by

therefore
better
to

our

therefore
to

smiled

to
heare
the

sorrowed
to
sée
the

in

it

Then
quoth
Philoxenus

these

be
not
vnnecessary
in

It
séemeth
reason

to
reward
the

for
his

Sermon
,
with

to

,
busied
him
with
many

which
he
euer
aunsweared
in

so
that
his

hyndred
(

a

Then
(

it
is
good
taking
awaye

this
plenty
of

for
cloying
Fryar
Buiardoes
wit

The

company
,
hearing
the
Fryar
beaten
with
hys
owne
sentence
,
tourned
into
a
contrary
sence
,
burst
out
into
suche
an
immoderate
laughter
,
as
choller
that
rose
to
the
very
throat
of
the
Friar
would
not
suffer
him
to
swallowe
,
one
bitt
more
of
meat
:
in
somuch
,
as
the
boord
was
taken
a●…aye
,
and
the
Friar
driuen
to
saye
Benedicite
,
with
an
emptye
stomacke
:
an
intertaynment
,
as
fit
for
a
flatterer
,
as
a
reward
for
a
faythful
seruant

The
office
of
courteous
reuerence

fully
discharged
:
the
company
retyred
towards

to
pause
a

after

obseruing
therein
an

After

talke
a

After

Where
the
pittifull
Gentlewomen

moaned
the
dysgrace
of

murmured
more
that

And
to
put

out
of

that
the

had
taught
hym
such
a

way
to
woo

as
to
melt

into

woulde

the
oportunitie
of
thrée
howres

two
to

and
one
to
prayse
the
thing
they
lyke

Yea
(
quoth
Franceschina
Santa
,
his

since

are
so
mercyfull

it
is
necessary
to
brydle

I

And

is
great

to

But
how

the

And

The

As

As

The
double
effectes
of
this
Sonet
,
made
them
freshly
to
remember
the
doubtes
,
they
left
yesterday
vnresolued
.
And
to
avoyde
degression
,
whiche
rayseth
many
difficulties
,
and
resolueth
few
:
Quéene
Aurelia
,
caused
a
Repeticion
of
Platoes
opinion
of
Mariage
:
which
was
:
She
was
a
Paradice
on
earth
,
where
her
Statutes
were
kept
:
and
a
Hell
in
the
House
,
where
her
lawes
were
broken
.
Wherevpon
(
qd
Dondolo
with
the
libertie
of
Quéene
Aurelias
fauour
)
I
demaunde
the
cause
?
why
that
the
Male
,
and
Female
,
of
bruite
and
wilde
creatures
loue
,
cherish
&
take
comfort
,
in
one
anothers
companie
,
onelie
by
the
Impression
of
nature
:
and
man
and
woman
,
that
are
be●…tified
both
with
the
vertues
of
nature
and
reason
,
manie
times
matched
together
,
make

of
this
hotie
institution

By
Quéene

commaundement

to
aunswere

Sir
(
qd
Faliero
)
The
aduantage
of
reason
,
with
which
you
haue
preuiledged
man
and
woman
,
is
the
onelie
cause
thereof
no
man
will
denie
,
but
that
there
is
a
difference
of
conditions
,
in
creatures
of
euerie
kynde
:
some
horst
,
Therefore
(
thinke
I
)
the
opinion
of
Plato
maye
bee
imbraced
as
a
sounde
iudgemente
.
The
whole
assemblye
,
allowed
Falierees
reason
:
And
Dondolo
hymselfe
was
reasonably
well
satisfied
,
But
quoth
he
,
since
Mariage
bringeth
with
her
vnspeakable
Ioy
,
or
vncurable
sorrow
:
How
may
a
man
assure
himselfe
of
the
one
or
avoide
the
〈◊〉
when
a
womans
vnsearcheable
hart
,
is
the
only
harbour
both
of
her
good
and
euil
conditions
:
and
(
once
)
in
appearance
,
the
honourable
,
and
the
dishonest
,
the
vertuous
,
and
the
vicious
:
and
in
briefe
,
euery
sorte
of
Women
,
are
naturally
beautifyed
with
modestie
.
If
the
good
repulse
dishonest
request
with
chaste
disdaine
,
the
badde
with
counterfet
sobry●…e
;
will
blush
at
incontinent
sutes
:
If
the
good
vseth
●…ence
as
a
vertue
,
the
bad
with
well
ordered
speach
,
will
be
as
highly
estéemed
:
If
the
good
with
the
beautie
and
benefites
of
Nature
,
delighte
:
the
bad
with
the
flori●…h
of
Arte
,
will
no
lesse
be
fantasied
.
So
that
,
at
the
first
face
;
the
cunningest
Clarke
ni●…y
bee
deceiued
,
in
iudgi●…ge
who
best
desorueth
.
The
greatest
Clarke
(
qd
Faliero
)
proues
not
alwaies
the
wisest
man
,
and
none
more
apt
to
be
beguiled
then
he
He
valueth
all
,
that
glistereth
,
Golde
:
he
estéemeth
fayre
wordes
,
as
friendly
deeds
and
thinketh
that
louely
countenaunces
,
d●…
spring
from
a
louyng
●…ndition
.
When
experience
The
corruptest
Canker
,
bloometh
lyke
the
swéetest
Eglantine
:
the
bitter
Bullice
,
resembleth
the
pleasaunt
Damson
,
and
the
sowre
Crab
,
the
sauorie
Pippin
.
Euen
so
good
and
bad
,
faire
and
fowle
,
chaste
and
vnconstaunt
,
Well
(
qd
Dondolo
,
)
notwithstanding
your
directions
be
good
,
yet
the
pathe
to
heauen
,
is
so
difficult
to
fynde
,
as
the
ignoraunt
passenger
without
direction
,
is
like
to
follow
the
beaten
waye
to
Hell
,
and
the
surest
guide
is
Experience
:
So
that
the
direction
of
the
Parents
,
is
to
be
imbraced
Parents
with
regarde
,
foresée
the
euils
that
negligent
Children
,
féele
ere
they
withstand
:
Parents
prouide
liuing
,
to
mainetaine
their
Childrens
looue
.
Children
often
times
by
matching
with
beggers
,
diminish
theyr
parents
inheritaunce
.
Parents
labour
for
necessaries
to
support
an
househoulde
.
Children
onely
séeke
for
silken
ragges
,
to
vpholde
their
pride
.
Parents
haue
care
to
matche
their
Children
with
those
of
vertuous
condition
:
and
Children
lightly
regarde
no
more
then
their
loouers
amiable
countenaunce
.
I
confesse
with
you
(
qd
Faliero
)
the
ouersights
of
yonge
But
admit
there
be
no
disagréement
betwéene
the
parties
,
which
is
rather
fortune
then
foresight
in
parentes
,
who
regarde
that
the
landes
and
goods
be
great
,
but
smally
waye
,
whether
the
beauty
and
behauiours
please
or
no
:
yet
looue
enforste
,
taketh
knowledge
neither
of
fréendes
,
Delicate
meate
,
hardely
forceth
an
appetite
vnto
the
sycke
.
Pleasure
yieldes
no
sollace
to
the
sorrowfull
,
no
more
can
forcement
enforce
the
frée
to
fancie
.
The
Lyon
with
gentlenes
may
be
tamed
,
but
with
curstnes
neuer
conquered
:
much
more
lordly
is
Loue
,
for
as
Petrarke
deuyneth
.
The
Prince
,
the
Peere
,
the
Subiect
and
the
slaue
,
Loue
giues
with
care
,
to
him
they
make
their
mone
And
if
by
chaunce
,
he
graunt
the
grace
they
craue
,
It
comes
of
ruthe
,
by
force
he
yeeldes
to
none
.
I
could
report
many
examples
of
large
authoritie
,
to
Loue
,
his
contempt
to
be
constrained
,
and
the
great
compassion
he
vseth
when
he
is
with
curtesie
acquired
,
which
account
,
inforced
Mariage
is
sildome
considered
.
There
is
procurement
of
fréendes
before
plightment
of
faith
:
safety
for
liuinges
before
assuraunce
of
loue
,
and
clapping
of
handes
before
knitting
of
hartes
:
an
occasion
that
the
sorrowfull
partyes
morne
when
they
are
Married
,
and
reioyse
when
by
death
they
are

Therefore

wyll

where

their

the
Husband
wyll
haue
no

nor
the
Wife
desyre
to

:
Seruauntes
with
negligence
will
waste

and
hyrelinges
,
with
proloyning
,
will
winne
:
and
(
which

the

so
that
for

,
engendereth
sorrowes

This

auayled

,
of

,
so
full
was
the

Fye

,
Quéene

commaunded
Faliero
,
to
confirme
his
sufficient
reasons
,
with
the
discourse
of
some
rare
Historie
.
Whose
commaundement
he
willingly
satisfied
,
and
reported
as
followeth
.
The
Historie
in
the
reproche
offorced
Mariage
,
reported
by
Faliero
.
IN
the
famous
Cittie
of
Cirene
,
in
Affrick
,
dwelled
sometimes
a
riche
Marchaunt
named
Tryfo
.
This
Tryfo
had
a
wealthy
neighbour
called
Clearches
,
who
of
long
time
entertained
one
an
other
with
a
neighborly
affection
Tryfo
to
inherite
all
his
liuings
,
had
but
one
onely
sonne
,
named
Sicheus
:
and
Clearches
one
onely
Daughter
called
Elisa
.
The
Parents
to
establish
(
as
they
imagined
)
an
euerlasting
amitie
,
betwéene
theyr
houses
,
concluded
a
Mariage
for
theyr
vnfortunate
Children
:
making
no
doubt
,
but
that
they
would
as
well
inherite
theyr
affections
,
as
theyr
liuings
:
of
which
there
was
hope
enough
,
if
the
order
had
béene
as
good
to
establish
theyr
Loue
,
as
the
haste
great
,
to
sollemnize
the
Mariage
:
for
that
in
theyr
persons
,
appéered
no
signe
of
disagréement
,
nor
in
theyr
abilyties
cause
of
exception
:
but
looue
(
that
behouldeth
no
more
quicknesse
in
a
Dyamond
,
then
in
a
dim
Saphyre
)
though
he
take
impression
by
sight
,
rooteth
in
contemplation
:
Youthe
,
who
intertaine
their
thoughts
with
a
thousand
vaine
fancies
:
but
to
my
purpose
.
The
Mariage
day
drew
neare
:
and
as
at
the
very
push
of
Battell
,
the
wise
Captaine
animateth
his
Souldiers
,
with
some
plausible
Oration
,
euen
so
the
night
before
the
Mariage
,
Tr●…fo
scheeled
his
sonne
Sicheus
,
with
this
following
aduertisement
.
My
good
sonne
quod
he
,
so
great
are
the
follyes
of
men
,
Louer
,
cured
with
the
yéelding
of
his
Kinge
Demetrius
,
notwithstanding
he
was
bothe
wise
Lamia
,
as
in
open
Schooles
,
he
raysed
disputations
,
whether
the
loue
he
bare
Lamia
,
or
the
Iewels
he
bestowed
vpon
her
,
were
the
greater
:
or
whether
her
merrit
excéeded
them
bothe
or
noe
.
Yea
when
she
died
he
caused
her
to
be
Intombed
vnder
his
Bed
Chamber
windowe
,
to
the
ende
,
that
with
dayly
teares
he
might
worship
her
engraued
bones
,
who
(
liuing
)
was
of
him
intirely
belooued
.
If
the
wisest
,
and
the
worthyest
,
be
thus
ouertaken
in
their
affections
,
what
easie
baites
may
beguile
thée
,
who
in
yeares
art
young
,
of
substaunce
delicate
and
lustie
,
and
therefore
apt
to
looue
:
reddy
in
conceyt
,
and
of
consideration
vnperfect
:
whot
in
desire
,
and
in
discretion
colde
:
My
sonne
,
by
experience
I
know
,
and
to
preuent
thy
ouerlikely
mischaunce
in
choyce
:
I
haue
chosen
thée
a
wife
,
fayre
to
please
theae
,
ritche
to
continue
looue
,
her
Parents
my
assured
fréendes
,
and
she
thy
affected
loouer
:
loue
her
well
,
beare
with
her
in
small
faultes
,
as
a
woman
and
the
weaker
,
&
bridle
thy
owne
euill
affections
as
a
man
,
her
head
and
gouernour
:
and
in
thus
dooing
,
God
will
multiply
his
blessings
vpon
you
,
and
make
your
aged
Parents
to
dye
in
peace
,
to
sée
you
liue
in
prosperitie
.
Young
Sicheus
regarded
his
Fathers
tale
,
as
Schollers
doo
their
Tutors
,
who
giuing
them
leaue
to
playe
,
admonisheth
them
with
all
,
to
kéepe
good
rule
,
which
they
promise
,
and
performe
the
contrary
.
With
the
like
affection
,
Sicheus
embraced
Mariage
.
He
was
not
so
soone
wearie
of
dallying
with
his
Wife
,
as
he
was
ready
to
entertayne
a
Harlot
:
so
that
in
shorte
space
,
he
became
a
common
Louer
,
and
a
carelesse
Husband
:
and
withall
,
grew
as
arrogant
in
defending
his
libertie
,
as
dissolute
in
his
actions
and
behauiour
:
If
his
friends
did
gently
aduise
him
,
he
was
of
age
O

Chions
Letter

FAyre
Mistresse
,
had
I
vertue
to
perswade
you
to
ruthe
,
as
you
haue
power
to
make
me
loue
:
the
discouerie
of
my
blasing
affections
,
would
melt
you
,
(
were
you
a
Mountaine
of
Ice
)
to
pitty
.
But
for
that
Loue
is
more
vehement
in
the
heart
,
then
in
the
tongue
,
I
appeale
to
your
owne
motions
for
grace
,
if
you
haue
euer
loued
:
if
not
,
I
hope
for
such
iustice
at
Venus
handes
,
as
you
shall
loue
:
and
yet
thus
much
I
saye
,
although
I
affye
nothing
in
my
perswations
,
because
they
be
but
wordes
.
I
presume
of
my
indeuours
,
for
that
I
haue
vowed
my
life
,
to
death
,
to
do
you
seruice
:
of
which
you
can
haue
no
better
assuraunce
,
then
imployement
,
nor
I

fauor
,
then
to
be
imployed

Good
Madame
,
martir
me
not
,
with
ordinary
doubts
,
in
that
my

are
not

For
as
your
beautye
excelleth
all
other
Dames
,
as
the
fayre

euen
so
the

hath
made
me

estate
of
flaming
flaxe

that
is
,
presently
to
receiue
grace
,
or
in
a

to
perish

Thus
longing
for
your

I
somewhat
succour

The
Letter
presented
,
and
aduisedly

surprised
her
with
an

:
not
so
much
for
that
she

purchased
her self

as

of

gaue

not

But
yet
before
he
presumed
to

the
Contents
,
he
kissed
and
rekissed
the

:
houldyng
an
opinion
,
that
commyng
from
his
Mistresses
handes
,
it
deserued
suche
honour
(
althoughe
it

Sentence
of

In

Barre

,
lyke

that
bites

which

from

sodenly

he
sheathed
his
Sword
in
Cicheus
intrayles
.
CICHEVS
shall
not

To
hinder
CHIONS
loue

The
fact
,
was
so
fowle
,
and
withall
so
publique
,
as
the
Chion
:
&
for
that
his
bloodie
sword
,
was
a
witnes
of
the
trespas
,
there
was
no
Plea
to
saue
him
:
for
wilfull
faultes
may
be
pitied
,
but
deserueth
no
pardon
:
and
to
say
trueth
,
neither
did
he
desire
to
lyue
,
because
ELISA
,
the
vertue
of
his
lyfe
,
by
the
charge
of
Lawe
,
was
bownd
to
sue
him
to
death
:
who
followed
the
processe
,
with
an
apparance
of
sorrow
,
suche
as
if
her
Conscience
had
bene
without
scruple
of
guiltinesse
,
or
her
harte
a
thowsande
degrées
from
ioye
:
when
God
knowes
,
she
was
puffed
with
the
one
,
and
the
other
,
so
that
the
wonder
,
at
her
dissimulation
,
equalled
the
reproche
of
her
notorious
hatred
.
To
be
shorte
,
this
was
the
Iudges
sentence
:
Chyon
Elisaes
harte
,
is
as
Gyltie
,
as
Chions
hand

and
therewithal
,
thundred
this
following
vengeance

the
cleared
malefactor

Fortunes
of
Cesar
and
Pompey
,
when
their
endes
were
both
violent
?
saue
that
I
hould
Cesars
to
be
the
harder
:
for
that
,
he
was
murthered
in
the
Armes
of
Prosperytie
,
and
Pompey
,
at
the
féete
of
Disgrace
:
but
being
both
dead
,
vnto
their
Monumentes
,
Writers
adde
this
Opinion
.
Cesar
,
in
his
lyfe
,
was
more
fortunate
then
Pompey
:
and
Pompey
,
more
honest
then
Cesar
.
A
proofe
,
that
some
Disgrace
,
is
the
ground
of
Good
Reporte
:
and
some
good
Fortune
,
the
Trumpe
of
Infamie
:
therfore
,
let
no
man
yeld
to
Aduersitie
,
nor
affie
too
much
in
Pompe
and
painted
Prosperytie
:
for
the
one
,
is
but
vexation
,
the
other
vanitie
,
and
both
in
short
time
vanish
.
A
sodayne
alteration
(
as
me
thought
)
made
me
to
contemplate
of
these
causes
:
for
that
(
commynge
out
of
my
lodgyng
,
somwhat
tymely
)
I
entred
the
great
Chamber
,
with
as
strange
a
regarde
,
as
he
that
commeth
out
of
a
House
full
of
Torch
and
Taperlights
,
into
a
darke
and
obscure
Corner
:
knowing
that
at
midnight
(
aboute
whiche
tyme
,
I
forsooke
my
company
)
I
lefte
the
place
,
attyred
lyke
a
seconde
Paradice
:
the
earthly
Goddesses
,
in
brightnesse
,
resembled
Heauenly
Creatures
,
whose
Beauties
daseled
mennes
eyes
more
then
the
Beames
of
the
Sunne
:
The
swéet
Musick
recorded
the
Harmonie
of
Angels
,
the
straunge
and
curteus
deuices
in
Maskers
,
séemed
as
fygures
of
deuine
Misteries
.
And
to
be
short
,
the
place
was
a
verie
Sympathie
,
of
an
imagined
Paradice
.
And
in
the
space
of
one
slumbering
sléepe
,
to
bee
left
lyke
a
desert
wildernesse
,
without
any
creature
,
saue
sundrie
sauadge
Beastes
,
portrayed
in
the
Tapestrie
hanginges
,
imprest
suche
a
heauy
passion
in
my
minde
,
as
for
the
time
,
I
fared
as
one
,
whose
sences
had
forgot
how
to
doo
their
bounden
offices
:
In
the
ende
,
to
recomfort
my
throbbing
hart
,
I
tooke
my
Citterne
,
and
to
a
solempne
Note
,
sung
this
following
Sonet
,
which
I
a
litle
before
,
composed
vpon
a
quiet
thought
,
I
possessed
after
my
reading
of
Boetrus
of
the
consolation
of
Philosophy
,
translated
into
Italion
,
by

in

Thy

that

During
the
time
,
that
my
thoughtes
swounded
with
the
charme
of

were

In
so

,
of

,
to
beholde
the
statelynesse
of

,
I
was
dryuen
foorth

not

,
is

with
the
title
of

of

The
name
of
Loue
gaue
a
large
occasion
of
discourse
:
but
for
that
an
other
tyme
was
appoynted
for
those
disputations
,
and
the
morninge
was
wholly
dedicated
,
vnto
the
seruice
of
God
:
the
question
drowned
in
Soransos
●…nggestion
,
and
the
whole
company
scylent
,
in
such
affayres
,
attended
Quéene
Aurelias
comming
:
who
,
in
chaunge
of
gorgious
,
and
rich
apparrell
,
kept
her
accustomed
howre
,
to
go
vnto
the

By

there
might

After

and

had
taken
their
ordinarye
places
,
euery
one
helped

of

either
in

all

was
neither

Which
,
perceiued
by
Franceschina
Sancta
his

,
she
(
moued
with
the
spirit
of
compassion
)
studied
,
howe
with

,
shée
might
reuoke

and

and
to

shee
demaunded

how

might
be
vnrewarded
,
In
the
end
(
quoth
Segnior
Philoxenus
)
Monsier
Bergetto
,
what
is
your
opinion
?
Sir
[
qd
Bergetto
)
my
Mistresse
hath
locked
the
tongue
,
that
should
pronounce
it
.
Why
(
quoth
Franceschina
)
these
be
no
questions
of
loue
,
and
therefore
you
haue
libertie
to
speake
.
No
Lady
(
quoth
Bergetto
)
but
his
vertue
may
appeare
in
the
aunsweare
.
Well
(
quoth
his
Mystresse
)
if
you
canne
cleare
your
trespasse
,
by
one
of
these
questions
,
I
must
do
no
iniurie
to
Iustice
,
and
therefore
,
saye
your
pleasure
.
Uppon
this
warrant
(
quoth
Bergetto
)
to
your
first
thrée
,
I
aunsweare
.
A
Captayne
maye
betray
his
charge
,
which
is
a
benefit
to
the
enemy
:
but
the
betrayer
,
is
not
To
your
second
thrée
questions
,
a
man
maye
offende
through
ignoraunce
,
which
is
excused
without
a
pardon
:
for
ignoraunce
,
is
without
intent
of
euill
:
therfore
to
be
suffered
,
though
not
to
be
cherished
:
A
man
may
offend
,
through
necessitie
,
which
commendeth
Iustice
,
with
the
vertue
to
forgiue
:
for
necessity
,
is
bound
vnto
no
law
,
and
therefore
,
deserueth
not
to
be
punnished
with
the
rigour
of
law
:
To
the
third
,
a
man
may
offend
through
rashnes
,
&
make
amends
with
repentance
:
which
Iustice
may
pardon
,
without
preiudice
to
equity
:
&
herein
(
faire
Mistres
)
I
haue
showen
my
trespas
,
&
the
reparation
of
my
trespasse
.
To
your
third
thrée
questions
,
a
man
may
hurt
his
friend
against
his
will
,
which
is
an
iniurie
:
yet
,
ought
not
to
be
reuenged
:
for
reuenge
,
can
but
afflict
the
trespasser
,
and
the
misfortune
,
gréeueth
him
:
Before
the
husband
,
a
man
may
kisse
the
wife
,
by
mistaking
:
which
is
an
iniury
,
not
to
be
reuenged
:
for
the
wife
may
wipe
away
the
wrong
with
her
hand
,
&
the
husband
by
reuenge
,
may
make
worke
for
the
Chirurgion
:
And
to
the
last
,
a
man
must
be
content
to
take
good
wordes
of
a
beggerly
debtor
:
which
is
an
iniury
not
to
be
reuenged
:
for
a
man
can
haue
of
a
Cat
but
her
shin
,
&
of
a
begger
,
but
his
scrip
:
vnles
he
wil
sel
the
Appotherm
y
the
greace
of
the
one
,
&
the
dice
maker
,
the
bones
of
the
other
.
The
whole
company
gaue
a
verdict
,
that
Bergetto
,
had
erpounded
his
Mistres
doubts
Without
blemish
to
Iustice
:
and
therfore
were
ernest
suters
for
his
remission
.
Whom
she
pardoned
,
with
this
prouiso
,
that
he
should
behaue
himselfe
honourably
towardes
women
heareafter
.
For
his
lybertie
,
Bargetto
reuerently
kissed
his
Mistresses
hande
,
and
thus
all
vnkindnesse
pacified
.

The

,
in
times
past
,
the
capitall
Citie
,
within
the
kingdome
of
Naples
,
sometime
dwelled
a
forward
young
Gentleman
called
Marco
Malipiero
:
the
sonne
and
heire
of
Caualiero
Antonio
Malipiero
,
in
his

renowned
,
for
manie
valiant
seruices
.
This
young
Gentleman
in
the
pride
of
his

,
became
inamoured

Daughter
of
Philippo
Prouolo
,
an
auncient
Gentleman
,

harde
aduenture

.
But
yet
in
dispight
of
fortunes
iniurie
,
who
disabled
him
with
many
losses
,
and
thereby
,
of
small
wealth
to
aduance
his
Daughter
:
Felice
her selfe
was
inriched
with
suche
perfections
of
of
nature
,
that
the
friends
lamented
,
but
could
not
blame
the
affection
of
young
Malipiero
:
which
in
verie
déede
,
grewe
so
great
,
as
it
contemned
the
duetie
of
a
childe
,
and
scorned
the
aduise
of
a
Father
:
Felice
alone
gouerned
him
,
and
none
but
Felice
he
obeyed
.
Prouolo
intertayned
Malipiero
,
with
the
curtisie
of
a
friende
,
as
the
good
partes
he
possessed
:
as
for
the
possibilitie
Malipiero

resolute
in

boldly
aunswered
,
that
This

Gouernour
would

then

so
that

it

what

can

,
fearing
the
daunger
of

was
as
ready

the

whose

were
so
straite
,
that
although
they
all
had
great
occasion
of
sorowe
,
they
had
no
leasure
for

In

THis

Sealed

To
the

of
the

to
whom
Marino
deliuered
,
both
the
Iuell
,
and

,
with
out
instructions
to

:
for
Protheus
could
not

himselfe
into

then
Macrello
:
as
well
,
to
auoide
suspition
,
as
to
compasse
his

:
who
behaued
himselfe
so
cunningly
,
in

as

vertuous
Dames

after

with
this
Answere
.
¶
FELICES

IAm

and
for
that
your

are
so
extreame
,
I

in
my
Bosome
:
But
,
with
what

to

:
so

the
euent
of
our
Loue
,
to
your

:
and
my
yealding
,
to
Macrelloes
Reporte
:
who
,
in
bewraying

fall
more
teares

.
:
So

ouercom
with
rueth
,
to
see

and

so
daungerous
,
I
can
not
but
commyt

FELICE

THis
Letter
,
was
subscribed
:
Lyfe
,
to
MARINO
GEORGIO
:
and
deliuered
to
the
faithfull
Macrello
:
with
charge
,
that
he
should
make
knowen
,
his
great
Importunities
,
before
Felice
woulde
graunt
so
hye
a
fauour
:
which
Prouiso
,
might
haue
ben
spared
:
for
Macrello
,
(
partly
for
his
glorie
,
but
chiefely
,
for
his
owne
benefite
)
vpon
delyuerie
of
this
Letter
,
willed
Marino
,
to
receiue
it
,
as
a
Conquest
as
hardly
gotten
,
as
Hercules
labours
:
and
if
(
quoth
he
)
I
had
not
indured
your
torments
(
by
Imagination
)
it
had
not
ben
impossible
to
haue
mooued
Felice
to
rueth
:
Marino
,
heard
these
circumstances
,
with
no
better
remembrance
,
then
if
he
had
ben
in
an
Extasie
:
The
Subscription
:
Lyfe
to
Marino
:
ouercame
him
with
Which
done
,
by
the
direction
of
Macrello
,
this
Conquerour
Gowlde
,
made
suche
a
passage
,
into
a
reputed
honest
Cytizens
House
,
as
,
without
suspition
,
Marino
Georgio
,
and
fayre
Felice
,
theare
(
many
tymes
)
mette
,
but
to
what
purpose
,
I
leaue
to
your
constructions
:
and
yet
,
thus
much
Marino
,
in
shorte
space
,
recouered
his
former
Complection
:
and
it
was
not
long
,
before
Felice
was
richer
,
then
either
Father
or
Husband
.
But
,
O
that
Furie
Ielousie
,
enuying
this
Accord
,
sent
slie
Suspition
,
to
infect
Malipieroes
heart
:
who
pryinge
with
Lynx
his
eyes
,
presented
him
a
thousande
causes
In
conclusion
,
seeing
his
Wife
to
excéede
in
brauerie
,
In
fine
,
as
héedefull
,
as
these
Louers
were
in
their
dealinges
,
Ielosye
directed
suspecte
,
to
Marino
Georgio
:
and
moreouer
,
made
him
an
eye
witnesse
of
the
iniuries
done
vnto
Malipiero
:
which
when
he
assuredly
knew
,
hée
Rome
.
Malipiero
was
no
sooner
a
mile
on
his
way
,
then
Macrello
certified
Marino
of
this
wished
oportunitie
:
and
Loue
made
both
him
and
Felice
so
boulde
,
as
in
his
owne
house
they
determyned
the
followinge
night
,
to
exercise
vppon
Malipiero
their
wonted
iniurie
:
but
about
mydnyght
when
mistrust
was
at
repose
,
Malipiero
entred
Malipiero
,
in
his
reuenge
like
a
Lyon
hungring
after
his
pray
:
with
his
Rapier
and
these
bitter
wordes
nayled
Marino
vnto
the
Bed
.
Thou
Couche
[
ꝙ
he
]
soyled
with
dishonour
,
washe
out
thy
staynes
,
with
the
Adulterers
blood
.
But
holding
death
too
easy
a
scurge
for
his
wiues
trespas
,
hée
condemned
her
to
this
torture
,
more
extreme
then
death
:
Hee
made
an
Anotomy
of
her
welbeloued
Marino
,
&
set
him
in
a
fayre
Chamber
,
within
whiche
,
hee
inclosed
his
wyfe
,
without
dooing
her
any
bodely
iniurie
,
saue
the
cutting
of
her
haire
:
and
to
say
trueth
,
this
beautifull
ornament
of
haire
,
beséemeth
not
an
Adultresse
head
.
And
to
punish
her
the
more
,
Malipiero
caused
her
euerie
dinner
&
supper
to
take
her
accustomed
place
,
that
at
meales
shee
might
be
tormented
But
least
he
should
be
ouercome
with
compassion
,
manie
Marino
:
whiche
pennaunce
shée
patientlye
indured
,
vntyll
GOD
,
who
saw
that
her
repentaunce
was
vnfayned
,
sent
Segnior
Cornaro
to
bée
a
peace
maker
Dinner
being
ended
,
which
was
longer
,
then
pleasant
,
either
to
husbande
,
wife
,
or
friende
:
Felice
,
as
she
entered
so
departed
.
W●…
,
notwithstanding
,
leaft
part
of
her
sorowe
behinde
in
Cornaros
heart
,
whose
cheareles
countenance
,
when
Malipiero
perceyued
(
quoth
he
)
let
not
the
martyrdome
of
this
Woman
afflicte
you
:
for
her
fault
deserueth
this
vengeaunce
,
and
so
recounted
the
reported
aduenture
:
And
in
aduantage
,
shewed
him
her
prison
and
the
Annotomie
of
her
dishonour
?
and
withall
licensed
him
Felice
,
to
heare
what
plée
shée
had
for
her
discharge
.
Uppon
which
warrant
,
quoth
Cornaro
,
Madame
,
if
your
patience
be
equall
with
your
torment
,
I
holde
you
the
most
happie
Woman
of
the
worlde
.
Felice
with
a
countenance
abased
,
and
Cheakes
dewed
with
teares
tolde
him
in
humble
wordes
,
that
her
trespasse
was
tenne
times
greater
,
then
the
torment
which
the
Lorde
of
the
House
,
whome
shée
was
not
●…worthie
to
call
Malipiero
,
ledde
the
Gentleman
awaye
,
who
rendred
him
affected
thankes
,
in
that
,
besides
his
good
intertaynment
,
he
witsafed
him
the
honour
to
knowe
so
great
a
secreasie
:
withall
,
moued
with
compassion
,
hee
effectually
intreated
Malipiero
,
to
accept
Felices
sorrow
the
true
witnes
of
grace
&
amendement
,
as
satisfaction
of
her
The
parentes
and
friendes
of
euerie
side
séeing
the
humilitie
,
sorowe
,
and
patience
,
of
poore
Felice
,
were
all
earnest
sutors
for
her
remission
.
The
roote
of
auncient
loue
not
altogether
dead
in
Malipiero
,
was
comforted
with
their
intercessions
,
&
quickened
with
the
hope
of
amendement
:
in
so
much
,
as
vppon
sollemne
promise
to
be
hencefoorth
of
good
behauiour
,
he
receyued
her
to
grace
:
and
to
repayre
her
crased
honour

in
which
holy
estate
,

liued
,
loued

And
with

Maister
Doctor
,
quoth
Fabritio
,
you
haue
reported
a
verie
necessarie
Historie
:
for
it
contayneth
many
héedeful
notes
,
both
of
Amonition
,
and
aduise
.
Besides
the
due
punishment
of
rashnesse
in
Marriage
.
For
therein
wee
may
see
howe
hungersterued
want
,
compelleth
the
best
natured
man
to
deceiue
his
friende
,
and
yelde
vnto
his
owne
slaunder
.
Againe
,
how
that
monster
,
Golde
,
conquereth
the
honour
of
the
fayrest
.
Yea
,
quoth
Isabella
,
and
corrupteth
the
conscience
of
the
wisest
:
so
that
this
is
no
example
of
any
honour
to
you
men
,
because
Golde
intised
Felice
,
to
be
disloyall
to
her
Husbande
,
for
it
draweth
manie
of
you
,
both
from
the
feare
and
loue
of
God
.
Well
,
quoth
Soranso
,
let
it
passe
,
Felice
in
her
repentaunce
,
hath
made
a
large
amendes
of
her
trespasse
,
and
I
feare
me
,
if
euery
lyke
offence
were
so
sharpely
punnished
,
we
should
haue
Mazers
of
mens
Sculles
,
more
ordinarye
then
Siluer
Boules
,
and
powled
Women
more
common
then
baulde

Not
so
,
quoth
Quéene
Aurelia
:
for
a
fewe
of
these
examples
Maddam
,
quoth
Don
Dolo

if
we
continue

,
Parradice

Plato
speaketh

Be
it
so
,
quoth
Quéene
Aurelia
,
but
if
we
still
continue
the
way
to
his
House
Hel
,
our
errour
will
instructe
others

and
since
we
haue

it

not

amisse
euerie

to

vntill

finde
out
the
true

:
And
for
that
our

is
concluded

we
will
(
for

The
Question
that
arose
,
by
behouldyng
,
the
MOWNTIBANKES
,
in
the
thirde
Nightes
Pastime
.
AT
the
accustomed
Houre
,
Supper
was
serued
in
with
manie
daintye
Dishes
:
whiche
were
saused
,
with
sundrie
shorte
ciuill
,
and
pleasaunt
euentes
of
the
Gentlemen
,
and
Gentlewomens
wittes
:
For
he
,
or
shée
,
was
helde
of
weake
capacitie
,
that
either
of
forestuddie
,
or
,
vpon
offered
occasion
,
coulde
say
nothing
of
good
regarde
.
In
the
ende
,
when
Supper
was
done
,
and
Quéene
AVRELIA
,
and
the
most
Honourable
of
the
companie
had
taken
their
places
vppon
a
Scaffolde
made
for
Mountebanke
,
his
necke
bechayned
with
liue
Adders
,
Snakes
▪
Eau'ts
,
and
twentie
sundrie
kinde
of
venemous
vermines
,
whose
mortall
Zanni
,
and
other
Actors
of
pleasure
:
who
presented
themselues
onelie
with
a
single
desire
,
to
recreate
Segnior
Philoxenus
,
and
his
worthie
companie
:
and
not
with
the
intent
of
common
Mountebanckers
,
to
deceyne
the
people
with
some
vnprofitable
Marchandize
.
In
the
middest
of
this
pastime
,
an
auncient
Gentleman
(
of
the
generall
Societie
)
séeinge
these
Uiperous
Beastes
,
by
cunninge
vsage
,
to
be
made
so
Domesticke
and
affable
,
whether
it
were
vppon
an
impression
of
his
owne
greife
or
of
the
experience
he
had
of
an
other
mans
Plague
,
I
know
not
;
but
sure
I
am
,
he
burst
into
these
passions
.
O
GOD
,
(
quoth
hee
)
of
what
mettell
is
a
Womans
tongue
,
which
correction
cannot
chastise
,
nor
lenitie
quiet
,
Marie
(
quoth
a
pleasant
Companion
)
it
is
made
of
the
same
mettle
,
that
Virgils
Brasen
Flayle
was
off
,
which
strooke
both
his
friendes
and
foes
.
But
(
quoth
the
Gentleman
)
Virgyll
knew
,
&
taught
others
howe
to
pacifie
this
engine
.
It
is
(
true
quoth
the
other
:
)
but
in
teaching
the
secrete
vnto
his
Seruant
,
coste
him
his
owne
life
.
So
a
woman
knowes
howe
to
holde
her
Tongue
,
by
hauinge
of
her
will
,
but
if
a
man
thinke
to
stay
it
,
he
must
beate
her
to
death
.
A

Unsauerie

The

Poyson
is
pleasaunt
in

,
and
the
remedie
for

offendeth
the

If

:
in
my
imagination
(
quoth
hée
)
an
vnquiete
wife
is
not
vnprofitable
though
shée
bee
a
little
vnpleasaunt
:
Her
anger
kéepeth
Seruauntes
in
awe
,
and
her
quicknesse
ouerseeth
their
negligence
:
If
her
tongue
runne
at
ryot
,
where
shée
huntes
,
there
is
store
of
abuse
,
which
must
be
chased
either
with
blowes
or
wordes
:
If
the
furye
of
her
speache
offende
her
Husbande
,
it
is
lyke
,
that
)
her
outrage
,
groweth
from
his
faulte
:
And
where
an
iniurie
is
offered
,
it
is
sufferable
,
yf
the
wronge
bee
blamed
:
but
which
maketh
a
full
amendes
,
for
her
furious
moode
:
as
the
clowdy

lightly
cleareth
towardes

:
euen
so
,
though
she
bitterly
scowld
at

,
shée
will
be
sure
,
to
kisse
swéetely
a

if

euen

Yong
Gentleman
(
quoth

I
vse
not
this
ceremony
to
represse
your
libertie
of
speache
:
for
the
error
of
youre
rashnes
,
I
will
refell
with
reason
and
experience
:
but
least
heareafter
you
should
be
as
arrogant
in
opinion
,
as
you
are
ripe
in
conseight
:
I
haue
thought
good
,
friendlye
,
and
bréefelye
to
signifie
your
imperfection
:
and
nowe
to
aunswere
your
late
suggestion
.
I
affirme
that
Nature
hath
created
nothing
to
a
néedlesse
purpose
:
but
notwithstanding
,
our
abuse
,
or
mischance
,
changeth
hurtefull
thinges
,
into
occasions
of
our
healpe
:
Surfit
,
and
Sicknes
only
,
commendeth
Medicine
:
and
as
you
affirme
,
the
bloud
of
a
Scorpion
,
cureth
the
biting
of
the
Viper
.
But
take
away
the
cause
,
which
procéedeth
from
our
gréefe
,
and
you
shall
finde
medicine
,
an
enemye
to
health
:
and
the
stinge
of
a
Scorpion
,
no
better
then
death
:
and
trust

and
his

to

vnreléeued

that
wilfully
indammageth
his

of

In

liue
vnpittyed

to
ouersée
the
slacknesse
of
his

who
wyll

whose

shall
ouer-rule
himselfe

But
more
perticularly
to
discribe
the
properties
of
an
vnquiet
wife
,
and
more
largely
to
discourse
the
displeasures
of
her
vnfortunate
husband
:
I
will
approoue
her
lowringe
,
as
vnprofitable
,
as
his
life
is
vnpleasaunt
:
you
say
her
quicknesse
ouerséeth
the
negligence
of
seruaunts
:
but
I
affirme
,
that
her
curstnesse
maketh
them
as
swift
to
runne
away
,
as
they
were
slowe
to
serue
her
:
and
common
vse
avowes
,
that
often
shyfte
is
neyther
beneficyall
for
Mayster
nor
Cienta

In

By

the

of
his

and
the
Zanni
in
showing
the

conditions
of
his
Maister
,
had
wasted
a
good
part
of
the
night
,
and
wearyed
the

that
desyre

sommoned

The
fourth
Daies
exercise
:
Containing
:
varietie
of
necessarie
Discourse
,
and
yet
withall
,
the
greater
part
appertaining
to
the
generall
argument
of
Marriage
.
SO
deepe
are
the
impressions
of
Sorrow
,
Pluto
,
for
the
restitution
of
his
Wife
Euridice
,
his
plaints
so
Charmed
the
torments
of
Hell
,
as
for
the
time
,
the
Gripe
forbare
to
teare
vpon
Titius
growing
hart
.
Tantalus
indeuoured
not
to

Danaes

bryncklesse

Sisiphus
,
sate
and
eased
himselfe
vpon
his
rowling
Stone
:
yea
and
Pluto
ouercharged
with
pittie
,
made
restitution
of
Euridice
.
This
sorrow
to
heare
,
that
Quéene
Aurelia
by
some
distemperature
,
was
●…ick
,
and
kept
her
Chamber
,
wrought
such
gréefes
in
the
heartes
of
the
whole
company
,
that
they
hounge
theyr
heads
in
disgrace
,
like
Garden
Flowers
:
which
(
séeming
as
teares
)
are
eloyed
with
she
dewe
of
a
fowle
missing
daye
,
Among
the
rest
Isinatito
,
although
he
Segnior
Phyloxenus
,
séeing
Ismarito
in
this
passion
,
and
that
occasion
entertayned
him
with
no
other
businesse
:
while
the
rest
of
the
company
were
hearing
of
a
lyttle
superstitious
seruice
,
lead
him
into
a
very
beautifull
Gallerie
,
where
the
Mappes
of
the
worlde
were
so
artificially
set
foorth
in
Painting
,
as
I
doubt
the
Popes
Microcosmos
Latteran
,
which
hath
béene
this
sixtéene
yeares
a
making
,
wyl
be
ended
with
no
more
perfection
.
In
this
Gallerie
were
the
Pictures
of
all
Christian
Princes
:
and
in
an
other
place
by
themselues
,
the
Pictures
of
certaine
Heathen
Rulers
:
and
in
an
other
rancke
,
the
Pictures
of
so
many
learned
men
and
graue
Magistrates
,
as
he
could
through
fréendship
or
rewarde
obtaine
.
After
much
discourse
of
the
especiall
Monuments
,
wherewith
this
pleasaunt
Gallerie
was
attyred
,
Segnior
Phyloxenus
brought
Ismarito
〈◊〉
fayre
booke
,
wherin
were
diuers
rare
deuises
,
and
(
directing
him
to
Pensils
,
Colers
Sir
(
qd
Ismarito
)
I
haue
already
recorded
your
good
fauours
in
the
Table
of
my
heart
:
and
I
beséeche
you
that
this
fayre
Booke
may
not
be
blemished
by
me
,
or
remaine
a
wytnesse
to
you
of
my
indiscression
.
This
nicenesse
(
qd
Philoxenus
)
professeth
more
then
ordinarie
knowledge
,
and
therefore
I
coniure
you
,
by
the
affection
you
beare
me
,
to
satisfye
my
request
.
Ismarito
vpon
this
importunitie
,
because
he
would
not
leaue
a
suspition
,
that
his
curiositie
grew
rather
of
simplicitie
then
discression
:
and
missing
among
the
Moderne
Pharos
,
which
shyned
lyke
the
Sunne
,
and
therein
a
Phenix
,
bathing
of
her selfe
,
whose
gleaming
reflexions
,
shined
ouer
all
Loegria
,
Cambria
,
and
the
greatest
part
of
Albania
,
and
extended
vnto
a
great
parte
of
the
Continent
,
espetially
vnto
that
parte
that
lay
betwéene
the
Occean
,
the
Mediterrane
,
and
the
great
Sea
called
Euxinus
Pontus
,
and
vnderneath
writ
.
Pharos
Europae
,
non
Africae
.
Phyloxenus
aduisedly
regarded
this
deuise
,
before
he
would
either
require
Ismaritos
intent
,
or
giue
his
owne
iudgement
.
In
the
end
,
deuining
what
should
be
the
secret
meaning
of
this
Simbole
or
Ensigne
:
quoth
he
,
Segnior
Ismarito
,
this
Cognizance
of
your
quicke
wit
,
pleaseth
me
much
,
and
withall
remembreth
me
of
a
neglected
curtesie
,
which
(
I
thinke
)
will
showe
you
the
Image
of
your
Phenix
,
and
blason
the
secresie
of
your
whole
deuise
:
and
thereuppon
he
lead
Ismarito
into
a
moste
curious
priuie
Gallerie
,
where
(
drawing
a
faire
Curtaine
,
and
reuerently
kissing
his
hand
)
he
shewed
Ismarito
the
Picture
of
a
Venice
,
who
traffiqued
toward
the
Westerne
Islands
,
presented
him
:
which
Ismarito
beheld
,
with
a
regarde
so
duetifull
,
as
their
néeded
no
glose
,
to
expound
the
zealous
affection
of
his
heart
.
And
by
her
was
stalled
a
goodly
Gentleman
,
Crowned
with
a
Scepter
,
whom
Ismarito
knew
not
,
other
wise
than
by
imagination
,
in
beholding
his
Armes
,
who
bare
Gu.
an
Eagle
displaied
Crowned
Ar.
And
(
qd
Phyloxenus
,
)
when
I
followed
the
Frenche
Court
,
I
admyred
a
young
Prince
of
rare
towardlinesse
,
whose
counterfeit
at
my
departure
I
brought
with
me
,
and
there
withall
shewed
Ismarito
a
Picture
,
which
he
verye
well
knew
,
and
in
it
were
written
in
Charracters
,
these
thrée
woordes
:
Hercules
Franciscus
valesius
.
And
by
this
Prince
stoode
an
other
counterfeit
,
whose
Armes
Ismarito
forgot
,
but
well
he
remembred
his
Posie
was
,
Ie
le
meintiendray
.
The
counterfeits
of
other
Potentates
there
were
,
which
Philoxenus
placed
in
the
ranck
of
these
Princes
,
for
some
regarded
vertues
,
knowne
vnto
himselfe
.
And
by
his
owne
testimonie
,
he
prised
these
counfeits
,
abooue
all
the
Monuments
(
auncient
or
Moderne
)
which
beautified
his
Pallace
.
Upon
which
warrant
,
Sir
,
qd
Ismarito
,
the
Honourable
In

quoth
he
,
it
is
but
iust
,
their

crie
,
God
saue
their
Highnesse
,
and
theyr
hearts
aunswer
,
So
be
it
.
After
Segnior
Philoxenus
and
Ismarito
had
had
some
conference
,
as
well
touching
the
meaning
of
this
Pharos
,
as
of
some
other
deuises
figured
in
Philoxenus
Booke
:
the
Trumpets
sound
,
gaue

of
Dinner
:
so
that
this
priuate
conference
was
adiorned
,
till
Segnior
Philoxenus
pleasure
should
renue
it
.
When
Ismarito
entered
into
the
great
Chamber
,
and
among
so
many
fayre
Flowers
,
missing
the
glorious
Rose
,
his
countenaunce

The

¶
The
aduenture
of
Fryer
Inganno
,
reported
by
Mounsier
Bergetto

IN
a
little
Village
among
the
Appenine
Mountaynes
not
far
from
the
place
,
where
S.
Fraunces
lyeth
in●…ombed
,
There
sometymes
dwelled
a
fayre
younge
countery
woman
named
Farina
:
and
for
that
her
house
was
in
the
hye
waie
,
to
S.
Fraunces
holy
relykes
,
she
was
many
tymes
visyted
with
Friers
of
his
order
,
who
were
intertayned
.
rather
for
their
habyt
,
then
their
honestie
:
for
the
poore
ignorant
people
,
reuerenced
Sainct
Fraunces
,
as
a
seconde
Christe
,
for
whose
sake
,
they
hould
his
Disciples
,
not

:
amonge
manye
that

,
Fryer
Inganno

euer
sealed
his

,
vppon
his
dames

,
and
yet
,
without
suspicion
of
the
husband
,
or
▪
dishonest
intent
of
the
wife
:
Uppon
a
time
,
after
Fryer
Inganno
,
had
wel
beaked
himselfe
,
with
a
warme
fire
,
and
a
good
breakefast
,
the
spirit
that
saint
Fraunces
,
was
driuen
to
coniure
downe
,
by
tumbling
naked
in
the
frost
and
snowe
,
tempted
his
Disciple
with
suche
swéete
motions
,
as
he
was
mynded
willfully
to
abiure
heauen
,
rather
then
to
deale
so
roughly
(
qd
he
)
among
the
Appenine
countreywemen
,
for
Sainct
Fraunces
,
from
Heauen
,
hath
behelde
Inganno
,
and
am
come
,
to
bestow
my
blessinges
vpon
the
good
Appenine
dames
,
that
for
my
sake
cherish
you
,
my
Disciples
:
But
with
an
especiall
Affection
,
I
wil
visite
the
good
Dame
Farina
:
And
for
that
,
her
Feminine
weakenes
,
can
not
indure
my
Heauenly
presence
,
I
wyll
many
times
borrowe
thy
earthly
shape
:
and
in
my
name
,
go
salute
Farina
,
and
showe
her
,
that
this
night
,
in
that
her
Husbande
is
from

,
I
meane
to
visite
her
:
wyll

to
leaue
open
the
Doores
,
because
I
purpose
to
come
as
Fryer
Inganno
,
and
not
as
Saint
Fraunces
.
This
is
his
message
,
therfore
,
as
I
began
,
I
end
:
blessed
Away

the
Fryer
,
with
a

hart
and
a
heauy
Cowle
:
but

,
to
punish
his
lewde
intent

&
to
preserue
her
from
sinnyng
through
ignoraunce
,
so
tyckled
her
hart
with
ioy
,
of
this
blessinge
at
hande
,
as
to
welcome
Saint
Farina
,
and
others
,
entred

were
wearye
of

scourged
the

Fryer
.
And
(
setting
hym
the

naked
in
the
Sunne
)
annoynted
his
bodie
with

so
that

so
that
following
their

,
Madam

with

I
will

an

whereupon
Isabella
reported
as

The
rare
Historie
of
Promos
and
Cassandra
,
reported
by
Madam
ISABELLA
.
AT
what
time
CORVINVS
the
scourge
of
Turkes
,
rayned
as
Kinge
of
Bohemia
:
for
to
well
gouerne
the
frée
Cities
of
his
●…ealme
,
hée
sent
diuers
worthy
Maiestrates
.
Among
the
rest
,
he
gaue
the
Lorde
Promos
the
●…auntship
of
〈◊〉
:
who
in
the
beginning
of
his
gouernment
,
purged
the
Cittie
of
many
ancient
vices
,
and
seuerely
punished
new
offenders
.
In
this
Cittie
,
there
was
an
olde
custome
(
by
the
suffering
of
some
Maiestrates
,
growne
out
of
vse
)
that
what
man
so
euer
committed
●…e
,
should
lose
his
head
:
And
the
woman
offender
should
euer
after
be
infamously
noted
,
by
the
wearing
of
some
disguised
apparrell
:
For
the
man
was
helde
to
bee
the
greatest
offender
,
and
therefore
had
Lorde
Promos
,
with
a
rough
execution
,
reuiued
this
Statute
,
and
in
the
hyess
degrée
of
iniurie
,
brake
it
hymselfe
,
as
shall
appeare
by
the
sequell
of
Andrugioes
aduentures
.
This
Andrugio
by
the
yéelding
fauour
of
fayre
Polina
,
trespassed
against
this
ordinaunce
,
who
through
enuie
,
was
accused
,
and
by
Lorde
Promos
condemned
,
to
suffer
execution
.
The
wofull
Cassandra
,
Andrugioes
Sister
,
prostrates
her selfe
at
Lorde
Promos
Féete
,
and
with
more
teares

thus
pleaded
for
her

Most

death
of
sorrowfull
Cassandra
,
his
innocent
Sister
.
I
wil
not
presume
,
to
excuse
his
offence
,
or
reproche
the
Lawe
of

:
for
in
the
generall
construction
,
hee
hath
done
most
euill
,
&
the

hath
iudged

what
is
right
:
But

maketh

,
to
the
nature
of

,
and

Hée
hath

:
Hée
hath
committed
no

Rape
.
In
which
Act
the
iniuried
Mayde
can
haue
no

.
But
with
yéelding
consent
of
his
Mistresse
,
Andrugio
hath
onlye
sinned
through
Loue
,
and
neuer

but
with
Marriage
to
make

.
I
humbly
beséeche
you
to
accept
his

,
and
Cassandra
,
shall
euer

true
Seruantes

Promos
eares
were
not

,
to

Cassandras
ruethful
tale
,
as
his

were

to

And
Loue
,
that

became
now
the
Soueraigne
of

But
because
he
would
séeme
to

his

,
he
aunswered
:

,
you
importune
me
with
an

:

and
in
great

is
a
witnes
of
this
Priuiledge
:
who
not
able
to
subdue
his
incontinent
loue
,
and
(
withal
)
resolued
,
that
Cassandra
would
neuer
be
ouer
come
,
with
fayre
wordes
,
large
promises
,
or
riche
rewardes
:
demaunded
the
spoyle
Cassandra
,
ymagyned
at
the
first
,
that
Lorde
Promos
,
vsed
this
speache
,
but
to
trie
her
behauiour
:
Aunswered
hym
so
wisely
,
as
if
he
had
not
ben
the
Ryuall
of
Uertue
,
Cassandra
,
mooued
with
a
chaste
disdayne
,
departed
,
with
the
resolution
,
rather
to
dye
her selfe
,
then
to
stayne
her
honour
:
And
with
this
heauie
newes
,
gréeted
her
condemned
Brother
:
poore
man
,
alas
,
what
should
he
do
?
Life
was
swéete
:
but
to
be
redéemed
with
his
Sisters
Infamie
,
could
not
,
but
be
alwayes
vnsauerie
.
To
perswade
her
to
consente
,
was
vnnaturall
:
too
yealde
to
Death
,
was
more
greeuous
.
To
choose
the
leaste
of
these
euylles
,
was
difficult
:
to
Fayne
would
he
lyue
,
but
Shame
cloased
his
mouth
,
when
he
attempted
to
perswade
his
Sister
.
But
Necessytie
,
that
maistereth
both
Shame
&
feare
,
brake
a
passadge
for
his
imprysoned
intent
.
Swéete
Cassandra
,
(
quoth
he
)
that
men
loue
,
is
vsuall
,
but
to
subdue
Affection
,
is
impossyble
:
and
so
thornie
are
the
motions
of
incontinent
Desire
,
as
to
finde
ease
,
the
Thou
maiste
refuse
and
lyue
:
but
he
beynge
reiected
,
I
die
:
For
wantyng
his
wyll
in
thée
,
he
wyll
wreake
his
téene
on
mée
.
This
is
my
hard
estate
:
My
lyfe
,
lieth
in
thy
Infamie
,
and
thy
honour
in
my
death
.
Which
of
these
euylles
be
leaste
,
I
leaue
for
thée
to
iudge
.
The
wofull
Cassandra
,
answered
:
that
Death

was
It
is
true
(
quoth
Andrugio
,
)
but
thy
Trespasse
,
wyll
be
in
the
leaste
degrée
of
blame
:
For
,
in
forced
Faultes
,
Oh
Andrugio
,
(
quoth
she
)
Intent
,
is
now
adayes
,
lytle
considred
:
thou
art
not
condemned
by
the
intent
,
but
by
the
strickt
worde
of
the
Law
:
so
shall
my
crime
bée
reproched
,
and
the
forced
cause
passe
vnexcused
:
and
such
is
that
venome
O
yes
(
quoth
Andrugio
,
for
if
this
offence
be
known
,
thy
fame
will
bée
enlarged
,
because
it
will
lykewise
bée
knowne
,
that
thou
receauedst
dishonor
to
giue
thy
Brother
This
further
hope
remaineth
,
that
as
the
Gilliflower
,
both
pleaseth
the
eye
and
feedeth
the
sence
:
euen
so
the
vertue
of
thy
chast
behauiour
may
so
grace
thy
bewty
,
as
Promos
silthie
lust
,
may
bee
turned
into
faithfull
loue
:
Soueraigne
Maddame
,
and
you
faire
Gentlewomen
,
(
quoth
Isabella
)
I
intreate
you
in
Cassandras
behalfe
,
these
reasons
well
wayed
,
to
iudge
her
yéelding
a
constrainte
,
and
no
consent
:
who
werie
of
her
owne
life
,
and
tender
ouer
her
brothers
,
with
the
teares
of
her
louely
eyes
,
bathed
his
Chéekes
,
with
this
comfortable
sentence
.
Lyue
Andrugio
,
and
make
much
of
this
kisse
,
which
breatheth
my
honour
into
thy
bowels
:
and
draweth
the
infamie
of
thy
first
trespasse
into
my
bosome
.
The
sharpe
incounters
betwéene
life
and
death
,
so
occupied
Andrugio
sences
,
that
his
tongue
had
not
the
vertue
,
to
bid
her
fare
well
.
To
greeue
you
with
the
hearing
of
Cassandras
secreate
plaints
,
were
an
iniurie
:
vertuous
Ladies
,
for
they
concluded
with
their
good
fortune
,
and
euerlasting
fame
:
But
for
that
her
offence
grew
neyther
of
frayltie
,
frée
wyl
,
or
any
motion
of
a
Woman
,
but
by
the
Promos
,
Andrugioes
precious
ransome
.
This
Deuill
,
in
humaine
shape
,
more
vicious
then
Hyliogabalus
of
Rome
:
and
withall
,
as
cruell
as
Denis
Sicyll
:
receaued
this
Iuell
with
a
thousande
protestations
of
fauour
.
But
what
should
I
say
?
In
the
beginnyng
of
his
loue
,
Promos
was
metamorphosed
into
Priapus
:
and
of
a
Féende
what
may
we
expect
?
but
vengeaunce
heaped
vpon
villany
.
And
therefore
,
let
it
not
séeme
straunge
,
that
after
this
Helhound
,
had
dishonoured
Cassandra
,
hée
sent
his
warrant
,
to
the
Gayler
pryuely
,
to
execute
Andrugio
,
and
with
his
head
crowned
with
these
two
Bréefes
,
in
Promos
name
,
to
present
Cassandra
:
Fayre
Cassandra
,
as
Promos
promist
thee
:
From
Pryson
loe
,
he
sendes
thy
Brother
free
.
This
was
his
Charge
,
whose
cursed
wyll
had
ben
executed
,
had
not
God
by
an
especiall
prouidence
,
at
the
howre
of
his
Death
,
possessed
Andrugio
with
the
vertues
Romanes
,
Marcus
Crassus
,
and
Marius
,
the
one
of
whiche
,
by
the
force
of
his
tongue
,
and
the
other
by
the
motions
of
his
eyes
,
caused
the
Axe
to
fall
out
of
the
Headsmans
hand
,
and
mollyfyed
his
cruell
mynde
.
With
lyke
compassion
,
the
Gayler
(
in
hearinge
Andrugios
hard
aduenture
)
left
his
resolution
:
And
vppon
a
solempne
othe
,
to
liue
vnknowne
,
yea
to
his
deare
Sister
,
he
gaue
him
life
,
and
in
the
dead
of
the
night
,
betooke
him
to
God
,
and
to
good
fortune
:
which
done
this
good
Gayler
Andrugio
:
and
according
to
lewde
Promos
commaundement
made
a
present
thereof
to
Cassandra
.
How
vnwelcome
this
Present
was
,
the
testimonie
of
her
former
sorowes
somewhat
discouer
:
but
to
giue
her
present
passion
a
true
grace
,
were
the
taske
of
Prometheus
,
O
quoth
shée
,
swéete
Andrugio
,
whether
shall
I
firste
lament
thy
death
?
exclaime
of
Promos
iniurie
?
or
bemone
my
owne
estate
,
depriued
of
honour
?
and
which
is
worse
,
cannot
die
,
but
by
the
violence
of
my
owne
hands
.
Alas
,
the
least
of
these
gréefes
,
are
to
heauie
a
burden
for
a
man
,
then
all
ioyned
in
one
poore
womans
hearte
,
can
not
be
eased
but
by
death
:
and
to
be
auenged
of
iniurious
Fortune
,
I
wil
forthwith
cut
my
Fillet
of
life
.
But
so
shall
Promos
lewdnesse
escape
vnpunished
:
what
remedie
?
I
am
not
of
power
to
reuenge
:
to
complayne
,
I
expresse
my
owne
infamie
,
but
withal
,
proclaime
his
vilanie
:
and
to
heare
his
lewdnes
reproued
,
woulde
take
away
the
bitternesse
of
my
death
.
I
will
goe
vnto
the
King
,
who
is
iust
and
mercifull
,
hée
shall
heare
the
ruthfull
euents
of
Promos
Tyrrannie
:
and
to
giue
him
example
of
vengeaunce
,
I
will
seale
my
complaintes
with
my
dearest
bloode
.
Continuing
this
determination
,
Cassandra
buried
her
imagined
brothers
heade
,
and
with
spéed
iornyed
vnto
King
Coruinus
Court
:
Before
whose
presence
when
shée
arriued
,
her
mourninge
Attyre
,
but
especially
her
modest
countenaunce
moued
him
to
beholde
her
with
an
especiall
regarde
.
Cassandra
(
vppon
the
graunt
of
audience
)
with
her
eyes
ouercharged
with
teares
,
reported
,
the
alreadie
discoursed
Cassandra
,
vpon
these
comfortable
wordes
,
a
lytell
succoured
her
afflicted
hart
,
and
with
patience
,
attended
the
Iustice
of
the
King
:
who
with
a
chosen
companie
,
made
a
Progresse
to
Iulio
,
and
entred
the
Town
,
with
a
semblaunce
Promos
:
by
that
colour
,
to
learne
what
other
corrupte
Maiestrates
,
ruled
in
the
Cittie
:
for
well
he
knewe
,
that
Byrdes
of
a
feather
,
would
flie
together
,
and
wicked
men
would
ioyne
in
Affection
to
boulster
each
others
euil
.
After
this
gratious
King
,
had
by
heedfull
intelligence
vnderstoode
the
factions
of
the
people
,
vnlooked
for
of
the
Magisrates
,
he
caused
a
proclamation
to
be
published
:
in
which
was
a
clause
,
that
if
anie
person
coulde
charge
anie
Magistrate
or
Officer
,
with
anie
notable
or
haynous
offence
,
Treason
,
Murder
,
Rape
,
Sedition
,
or
with
any
Uppon
this
Proclamation
it
was
a
hell
to
heare
,
the
exclamations
of
the
poore
,
and
the
festered
consciences
of
Stix
.
Among
manie
that
complayned
,
and
receiued
iudgement
of
comfort
,
Cassandras
Processe
was
presented
,
who
lead
betwéene
sorrow
and
shame
,
accused
Promos
to
his
face
.
The
euidence
was
so
playne
,
as
the
horrour
of
a
guiltie
conscience
reaued
Promos
of
all
motions
of
excuse
:
so
O
(
quoth
the
King
)
such
espetial
mercy
were
tyrannie
Andrugio
.
O
God
(
quoth
hée
)
if
men
durst
bark
as
Dogges
,
manie
a
Iudge
in
the
world
would
be
bewrayed
for
a
théefe
:
Well
,
wicked
Promos
,
to
scourge
thy
impious
offences
,
I
héere
giue
sentence
,
that
thou
foorthwith
marry
Cas
sandra
,
to
repayre
her
honour
by
thée
violated
'
,
&
that
the
next
day
thou
lose
thy
head
,
to
make
satisfaction
for
her
This
iust
Iudgement
of
the
good
Kinge
,
in
the
first
point
,
was
foorthwith
executed
:
But
sacred
is
the
Authoritie
,
that
the
vertues
of
the
good
,
are
a
Shéelde
vnto
the
Cassandra
,
who
(
simply
)
by
vertue
ouercame
the
spight
of
Fortune
:
In
this
marriadge
was
charged
with
a
new
assault
of
sorrow
:
and
preferring
the
dutie
of
a
wife
,
before
the
naturall
zeale
of
a
Sister
,
where
The
gracious
Kinge
,
sought
to
appease
her
with
good
words
,
but
hée
could
not
do
her
this
priuate
fauour
,
without
There
was
no
remedie
,
Cassandra
must
departe
,
out
of
hope
,
to
obtayne
her
sute

But

But

But
on
the
other
parte
,
regardyng
the
sorrow
of
his
Sister
,
he
wisshed
him
lyfe

as

To

the

Among

erred

THE
last
nights
good
howre
of
repose
,
was
the
cause
of
the
companies
this
daies
early
rising
:
who
by
nine
of
the
Clock
,
entered
the
great
Chamber
,
armed
for
any
lawdable
exercise
.
And
after
an
accustomed
duty
of
salutation
discharged
,
euery
man
be
thought
himselfe
of
some
pleasing
matter
,
to
entertaine
the
present
time
.
Soranso
and
Ismarito
were
seuered
from
the
rest
of
the
company
,
vpon
priuate
discourse
:
which
béeing
ended
,
Soranso
,
casting
his
eye
aside
,
beheld
in
the
hangings
,
the
picture
of
Ixion
,
heardled
to
his
tormenting
Whéele
.
Sée
yonder
,
quoth
he
,
the
worthy
scourge
Ambition
,
and
withall
reported
the
Fable
,
of
his
presumptuous
making
of
loue
to
Iuno
.
Naye
quoth
Ismarito
,
Ixion
is
rather
the
example
of
Vaine
Glorie
punished
:
for
Iupiter
,
so
well
allowed
of
Ixions
hie
minde
(
in
that
he
represented
his
Image
)
as
he
Iuno
,
and
so
sent
him
backe
vnto
the
Earth
:
where
vaine
glorious
Ixion
Proclaymed
,
that
he
was
the
Minion
of
Iuno
,
and
had
Acteoned
Iupiter
:
Questionlesse
,
quoth
Soranso
,
this
imagination
of
the
Heathen
Poet
,
could
not
but
be
the
trauell
of
a
Diuine
spirit
,
it
exposeth
such
néedefull
matter
,
for
Christians
to
contemplate
of
.
You
néede
not
doubt
of
your
opinion
,
quoth
Ismarito
,
I
beséeche
you
,
quoth
Soranso
,
to
inlarge
this
discourse
.
I
am
not
so
simple
to
beléeue
,
that
we
are
like
the
Image
of
God
,
in
our
outwarde
shape
:
yet
my
knowledge
is
not
perfect
,
in
what
vertues
we
resemble
the
Image
of
God
.
Referring
you
,
for
your
better
knowledge
,
to
grauer
Ismarito
)
I
wyll
onely
to
satisfye
your
request
,
say
what
I
haue
reade
,
and
what
in
my
oppynyon
,
standeth
with
reason
.
In
our
exterior
body
,
to
say
we
resemble
God
,
were
a
grose
ignoraunce
:
but
in
that
our
soule
is
closed
within
our
Trinity
.
Notwithstanding
she
is
but
one
,
yet
she
comprehendeth
in
her
thrée
dignities
,
to
wit
,
Intendment
,
Wit
,
and
Memorie
.
Intendment
,
and
Memorie
procéedeth
from
both
:
and
as
the
three
persons
of
the
Trinitie
,
are
but
one
God
,
so
the
three
powers
of
the
soule
,
are
but
one
soule
:
and
in
that
man
is
created
in
this
sorte
,
according
to
the
image
of
God
,
because
he
should
resemble
his
creator
in
excellencie
,
he
is
formed
straight
and
not
curbed
:
to
behould
the
earth
,
not
thereby
to
Alexander
,
Iulius
Cesar
,
Scipio
,
Haniball
,
and
manye

in

And
doubtles
,
the
exploits
of
man
,
would
be
wonderful
,
&
glorious
,

not

of

and

of

These
be
the
euilles
,
that
eclipseth
the
excellencie
of
many
who
otherwise
would
appeare
more
glorious
then
the
Sonne

you

I
beseeth

,
as
well
as
your
wisdome
will
correct
my
errours
.
I
had
thought
Ceremonies
had
béene
in
disgrace
,
among
Englishmen
,
quoth
Soranso
,
but
I
finde
you
superstitious
in
curtesie
,
and
therefore
will
take
no
example
by
you
:
but
let
it
suffise
,
I
am
your
fréend
,
and
wyll
deserue
this
fauour
,
in
any
resonable
seruice
.
By
this
time
,
Dinner
was
ready
to
be
set
vpon
the
boarde
,
and
Quéene
Aurelia
came
againe
vnto
the
open
viewe
,
whose
presence
was
as
welcome
vnto
the
generall
company
,
as
the
cleare
Sunne
(
after
roughe
stormes
)
to
the
wether
weried
Sayler
:
Aften
she
had
acquited
the
courteous
salutations
of
the
whole
troupe●…
she
●…yrste
take
her
plate
,
and
then
the
rest
as
they
pleased
,
or
were
accustomed
.
At
this
Dinner
there
passed
much
pleasaunt
Table
talke
,
impertinent
for
this
report
:
which
béeing
doone
,
at
the
accustomed
howre

Quée●…e
Aurelia
sent
for
the
chosen
company
,
who
placed
in
the

Chamber
,
the
Eunuck

his

,
tuned
his
Lute
,
and

this

WHo
prickels
feares
,
to
pluck
the
louely
Rose
,
By
my
consent
,
shall
to
a
Nettle
smell
:
Or
though
fainte
heart
,
who
dooth
a
Ladie
lose
,
A

I
wishe
,
or
to

Apes
in
Hell
.
On
Thornes
,
no
Grapes
,
but
sowre
Slowes
do
growe
:
So
from
base
loue
,
a
base
delight
dooth
flowe
.
Then
minde
crowne
thou
,
my
thoughts
aboue
the
skie
,
For
easie
gaynde
,
the
Conquest
is
not
sweete
:
My
fancie
swift
,
with
Icarus
wings
dooth
flye
.
Yet
fastined
so
,
as
fyre
and
Froste
may
meete
.
For
pleas'd
am
I
,
if
hope
returne
but
this
:
Grace
is
obtaynde
,
thy
Mistrisse
hand
to
kisse
.
A
Grace
indeede
,
far
passing
all
the
ioye
,
Of
egall
loue
,
that
offereth
wish
in
wyll
:
For
though
her
scorne
,
and
light
regard
annoy
,
Dispaire
of
grace
,
my
fancie
can
not
kill
.
For
why
this
ioye
,
all
passions
sets
in
rest
:
I
dayly
see
,
my
Mistresse
in
my
breast
.
Who
so
inuented
this
sonet
qd
Quéene
Aurelia
,
deserueth
to
be
well
fauoured
of
his
Mistresse
,
in
that
he
kept
her
so
carefully
in
his
bosome
.
Nay
qd
Dondolo
,
if
his
eyes
were
so
subtyll
,
as
absent
,
he
could
see
her
behauior
,
his
affection
were
more
daungerous
then
his
seruice
necessarie
.
We
geue
you
to
know
(
qd
Isabella
)
that
we
waye
not
though
our
husbandes
,
a
hundred
myles
of
,
knowe
our
behauiours
at
home
.
I
thinke
so
quoth
the
plaine
Doctor
,
for
so
farre
off
they
may
(
sighe
at
their
one
mischaunce
,
but
)
not
chasten
your
amisse
.
Perchaunce
they
should
not
be
charged
with
such
iniurie
,
as
this
company
should
be
(
quoth
Maria
Belochy
)
if
wee
would
offer
to
aunswer
your
enuious
sugiestions
.
Laides
I
speake
not
with
intent
(
qd
Soranso
)
to
make
a
question
of
your
behauiors
,
but
admit
you
of
all
creatures
the
most
perfect
:
yet
for
that
you
haue
motions
,
as
well
bad
,
as
good
,
you
maye
many
tymes
make
showe
of
euill
,
and
yet
not
doo
amysse
,
which
if
your
husbandes
be
so
quicke
sighted
,
as
to
perceiue
,
they
will
iudge
by
their
owne
eyes
,
and
not
by
your
hartes
,
and
so
from
shaddowes
may
growe
euill
effectes
.
If
there
sight
be
so
quick
,
qd
Franceschina
Santa
,
then
If
their
sight
be
so
quick
(
quoth
Franceschina
Sancta
)
then
,
though
by
a
negligent
trespasse
,
their
wiues
sometime
giue
them
cause
to
sigh
,
with
a
number
of
louing
vsadges
,
they
will
giue
them
daylye
occasion
of
reioysinge
.
I
graunt
as
muche
(
quoth
Soranso
)
but
this
will
follow
,
Indeede
(
quoth
Aluisa
Vechio
)
the
loue
of
a
ielous
husband
,
is
sawced
with
such
frowarde
motions
,
as
I
had
rather
be
matched
with
him
,
that
regardeth
mée
not
at
al
,
then
with
him
that
loueth
mée
too
muche
:
for
of
the
one
,
though
I
am
not
beloued
,
yet
I
shall
not
be
much
crossed
:
of
the
other
,
I
being
too
much
beloued
,
I
shall
neuer
be
in
quiet
.
I
am
not
of
your
mynde

quoth
Helena
Dulce
)
I
had
Yea
,
but
(
quoth
Katharina
Trista
)
Men
are
so
easye
conceited
,
that
if
they
perceiue
a
woman
studdieth
how
to
please
them
,
they
straight
waies
,
imagine
,
she
will
lykewise
studdie
how
to
deceiue
them
:
and
therefore
,
God
shéelde
mée
from
a
Ielous
Housbande
.
I
haue
heard
,
the
whightstreaked
Carnation

,
was
the
Metamorphos
of
a
Faire
Gentlewoman
,
beheaded
by
her

,
vpon
this
Ielous
thought
,
that
his
wife
beinge
so
faire
,
could
not
but
be
beloued
of
the
Gods
,
although
hée
Orpheus

who
by
extreame

Me
thinkes
(
quoth
Isabella

)
the
Sonet
,
which
mooued
the
late

,
directes
a
fayre
way
to

for

And

The

:
this
Aduenture
,
geueth
Hope
,
and
promiseth
good
Fortune
.
It
is
true
(
quoth
Soranso
,
)
&
I
dare
vndertake
to
approoue
it
,
the
happiest
estate
in
Mariage
.
Dondolo
,
because
he
would
not
be
disgraced
,
by
mariyng
a
Burgoys
fayre
Daughter
of
Rauenna
,
offered
to
prooue
the
contrarie
.
Quéene
Aurelia
,
licensed
them
to
shew
their
reasons
.
Whervpon
,
quoth
Soranso
:
to
geue
great
Ladies
and
Gentlewomen
of
calling
,
their
true
right
and
honor
,
who
lightly
,
marry
not
their
Inferiours
in
reputation
,
but
for
some
especiall
Uertue
,
that
doth
commende
their
choice
,
and
cleareth
the
Bleamish
of
their
Husbandes
basenes
?
I
must
confesse
,
that
he
which
rayseth
his
thought
so
hye
,
vndertaketh
(
no
doubt
)
a
tedious
sute
:
his
delayes
wyll
be
gréeuons
,
and
his
Solliciters
wyll
be
well
rewarded
,
in
what
sort
so
euer
he
be
regarded
.
But
what
of
this
?
Quo
quid
difficilius
,
eo
pulchrius
:
Perryll
maketh
honor
perfect
:
the
styngyng
of
the
Bée
,
mendes
the
swéetenes
of
Honie
:
Roses
best
refresheth
our
Sences
,
when
we
prick
our
handes
to
reache
them
:
He
that
crackes
the
Nut
,
thinkes
the
Kernell
swéetest
.
The
reason
is
,
not
for
that
the
goodnesse
of
a
thing
,
is
the
better
,
for
the
euil
thervnto
Cofetua
,
the
Affrican
,
became
enamoured
of
a
Begger
:
faire
Venus
,
espoused
yll
fauoured
Vulcan
:
Pigmalion

:
Narcissus

in

:
&
mightie
Ioue
,
many
times
,
cast
aside
his
diuinitie
,
to
dallie
with
simple
country
trulles
:
then
,
why
shuld
the
affected
(
how
bace
so
euer
his
estate
be
)
dispaire
to
attempt
a
great
Ladie
,
when
his
warrant
is
signed
with
so
large
Aucthoryties
?
But
whether
he
spéede
or
faile
:
be
accepted
or
reiected
:
well
entertained
,
or
yll
intreated
:
the
ymagination
,
that
time
wil
inuest
his
desire
with
delight
,
is
to
the
Affected
,
a
Paradice
,
If
a
House
,
were
as
soone
bilded
,
as
the
Plot
is
drawn
(
quoth
Dondolo
)
Shepherds
wold
disdaine
to
liue
in
Co
,
rages
:
euen
so
,
if
euery
man
could
as
soone
compasse
a
Lady
for
himselfe
,
as
he
can
report
the
fortune
of
other
:
there
must
be
an
Act
to
make
Ladies
,
or
Lords
must
be
glad
of
mean
Women
.
But
admit
,
by
the
example
of
other
mens
Aduauncements
,
that
the
meanest
may
be
raised
,
by
the
yeelding
fancye
of
the
mightie
:
I
prophesie
that
such
an
vpstarte
,
had
more
néede
of
ten
Eyes
,
to
warde
the
mallice
of
his
Wiues
kindred
,
then
one
tongue
to
moue
her
to
kindnesse
.
A
woman
cannot
myslike
affectionated
profers
,
because
they
procéede
of
loue
:
But
her
kindred
disdaineth
his
attempte
,
for
that
the
conclusion
,
tendeth
both
to
their
and
her
dishonour
:
A
woman
séeing
her
seruaunts
passions
,
cannot
but
sustaine
him
with
pittie
,
her
Kindred
The
Cardinal
of
Aragon
,
aduenged
the
base
choice
of
Malfy
,
with
the
death
of
her selfe
,
her
Children
,
and
her
Husband
:
and
alleadged
in
defence
,
that
he
had
done
no
iniurie
to
Nature
,
but
purged
his
House
of
dishonour
:
for
Nature
(
quoth
he
)
is
perfect
,
and
who
blemisheth
her
is
a
monster
in
Nature
,
whose
head
,
without
wrong
to
Nature
may
be
cut
off
.
Yea
(
quoth
Soranso
)
but
,
this
Cardinall
,
for
all
his
habit
,
and
glose
of
Iustice
,
is
for
this
Act
,
so
often
regestred
In
déede
(
quoth
Dondolo
)
in
common
curtesie
she
enioyeth
And
where
shee
ordereth
:
The
vncontrouled
Wife
,
desireth
to
be
serued
with
pompe
,
and
to
be
set
foorth
with
pride
:
whiche
the
ruling
Husband
would
represse
,
as
wel
for
sauing
his
wiues
honour
,
as
for
sparing
his
owne
pursse
.
The
vncontrouled
wife
desireth
to
walke
at
lybertie
,
and
to
be
visited
of
many
:
of
which
the
ruling
Husbande
,
woulde
barre
her
:
as
well
to
preserue
his
mynde
from
mistruste
,
as
to
kéepe
his
Chimney
from
being
fyred
.
The
vncontrouled
wife
disdayneth
the
Countrie
and
desireth
the
Citie
:
which
the
rulyng
Husband
would
mislyke
,
for
that
in
the
Countrie
,
the
exercise
of
huswiuerie
inlargeth
his
Wiues
estimation
,
and
in
the
Cittie
,
Idlenesse
hazardeth
her
reputation
.
The
vncontrouled
Wife
,
desireth
without
checke
to
pratle
,
and
without
discreation
to
gouerne
:
which
the
rulyng
Husbande
in
no
wise
would
allowe
,
for
that
manye
wordes
is
a
bleamish
to
his
wiues
modestie
,
and
the
rule
of
his
Wife
,
is
warrant
sufficient
,
for
the
wise
to
ouer
rule
him
for
a
Woodcocke
.
Many
other
vanities
,
follow
the
desires
of
Women
:
which
a
man
thus
aduaunst
,
must
forbeare
to
chasten
,
least
hée
expose
himselfe
to
a
thousande
daungers
:
for
the
wife
taking
pepper
in
the
nose
,
will
suffer
him
,
(
yea
perchaunce
,
agrée
to
make
him
)
a
pray
,
to
the
displeasure
of
his
enemies
:
I
meane
her
able
Friendes
and
kindred
:
which
bondage
is
not
within
the
Paradice
,
Plato
speaketh
off
:
For
according
to
the
opinion
of
sundrie
Philosophers
,
as
Nature
will
not
be
controuled
,
for
that
she
createth
:
as
Fortune
is
won
with
no
praiers
,
because
●…hee
is
blinde
,
and
shooteth
at
aduenture
:
no
more
dooth
Marriage
alow
of
inequallitie
,
because
her
will
is
to
deuide
her
benyfites
,
and
blessing
among
the
married
with
indifferencie
.
To
this
ende
Marriage
is
lykened
to
Sienes
grafted
in
a
stocke
of
contrarie
qualitie
:
for
as
by
groweth
and
good
order
,
they
both
become
of
one
nature
,
euen
so
,
man
and
woman
vnited
in
this
honourable
estate
,
with
good
Segnior
Fabritio
,
to
conclude
Don
Dolos
opinion
,
with
his
owne
Iudgement
,
saide
in
trueth
,
that
Marriage
coulde
not
away
with
such
seruitude
:
as
the
Husband
,
who
is
wise
and
the
chéefe
,
shoulde
obay
the
wife
,
who
in
common
construction
,
is
simple
,
weake
and
the
inferiour
.
And
where
a
Rich
woman
(
as
Don
Dolo
hath
said
)
Marieth
her
poore
Seruant
,
because
she
is
the
cause
of
his
aduancement
,
she
will
looke
to
gouerne
:
which
if
she
doo
,
her
indiscression
,
will
moue
others
to
speake
,
and
her
Husband
to
sorrow
:
and
if
he
challenge
the
preuiledge
of
a
husband
to
direct
,
hee
shall
bée
bounde
to
a
lyfe
more
bitter
then
Death
.
Not
,
but
that
in
respect
of
his
former
estate
,
he
may
endure
these
crossinges
of
his
wife
,
but
because
,
as
hee
is
growne
in
estimation
:
so
is
hée
growne
in
hautinesse
of
mynd
,
and
can
now
wurse
brooke
an
vnkinde
word
,
then
in
times
past
,
an
iniurious
déede
.
And
therefore
in
Don
Dolos
behalfe
,
I
doo
iudge
Soranso
to
be
in
an
errour
.
I
wil
not
dispute
,
against
the
Authoritie
of
your
iudgment
(
qd
Soranso
)
but
at
aduenture
if
yonger
Brethren
er
in
Mariage
,
God
send
them
to
stumble
vpon
no
worser
fortune
.
Quéene
Aurelia
,
who
regarded
,
that
Dondolo
was
somewhat
to
lauish
,
in
painting
out
,
of
the
natural
dessires
of
a
woman
,
knew
as
well
,
how
to
set
foorth
his
follyes
and
ouersight
:
and
therefore
to
take
a
modest
reuenge
(
qd
shée
.
)
I
happinesse
in
Mari●…ge
consisteth
so
much
in
the
Lordly
rule
of
the
Husbande
,
then
where
a
man
maryeth
his
inferriour
in
reputation
,
there
is
a
lykelyhood
of
good
agreement
:
Wherfore
Segnior
Dondolo
,
because
I
think
you
married
your
wife
,
with
the
same
Iudgement
,
with
which
you
manyfested
the
inconueniences
of
loftye
Loue
:
I
beseeche
you
,
show
vs
the
blessinges
of
this
inferiour
choyce
.
Soranso
,
and
the
rest
began
to
smyle
,
to
heare
this
com
maundement
:
for
well
they
knew
Dondolo
,
was
intrapt
with
a
slaunder
of
his
owne
reputatiton
:
but
Dondolo
,
although
,
he
were
a
litle
gauled
,
set
a
reasonable
florish
,
vpon
his
bace
fancie
:
and
therefore
(
qd
he
)
as
it
is
alreadie
adiudged
,
if
a
man
marrie
aboue
his
callyng
,
he
must
beare
with
his
Wife
in
folly
,
as
much

You

A

not
the
beautyfuller

for

Gold
:
euen
so
,
the
honour
of
a
woman
,
is
Eclipst
,
in
matchyng
with
her
Seruaunt
,
her
slaue
,
or
her
Inferiour
:
for
that
Straungers
wyll
valewe
her
by
her
Fortune
,
although
her
haughtie
nature
,
wyll
not
lose
the

of
her
reputation
:
Neither
is
the
estimation
of
a
Kitchynstuffe
inlarged
,
by
marriyng
with
a
Courtier
:
for
that
the
Best
wyll
disdayne
her
Basenes
,
not
so
much
for
her
byrth
,
as
her
bryngynge
vp
:
Yet
,
presumyng
on
her
Husbandes

:
in
Pryde
,
she
wyll

Well
,
let
this
suffice
,
to
refell
their
Suggestions
,
that
thinke
pleasantly
to
spende
their
dayes
,
by
marrying
eyther
their
better
or
inferiour
.
Now
,
touchynge
the
generall
disposition
,
of
suche
wemen
,
as
from
the
Cart
,
are
raysed
vnto
this
account
:
they
will
vse
the
better
sorte
with
straingenesse
,
because
they
lacke
the
order
of
honest
curtesie
to
entertain
them
,
&
with
the
basest
wyl
be
famyliar
,
because
the
rudenes
of
the
one
answereth
the
ignorance
of
the
other
:
So
that
,
it
is
more
requisite
for
him
that
is
thus
married
,
to
watche
his
wyues
goyng
into
the
Stable
,
for
feare
of
his
Horsekéeper
,
then
in
her
Parlour
,
to
eye
her
behauiour
,
in
entertayning
the
Gallant
.
Examine
Kyng
Astolphus
,
what
constancie
he
found
in
his
thrée
halpenie
Iuell
,
whome
he
had
tourned
out
of
Shéepes
,
Russet
,
into
Cloth
of
Siluer
:
In
such
honours
,
had
no
otherwise
altered
her
manners
,
but
that
she
thought
the
Lyppes
of
a
Captaine
was
as
swéete
as
a
Kings
,
and
therfore
in
all
her
brauerie
,
she
fell
to
her
kinde
.
If
this
suffice
not
,
heare
the
vsage
of
Bianca
Maria
,
Daughter
and
onely
Heire
of
Giaccomo
Scapardon
,
a
no
table
Userer
of
Baetta
,
Biancas
beautie
,
made
her
sufficiently
knowne
,
but
her
Fathers
Bagges
,
made
her
wonderfully
desiered
:
so
that
both
ioyned
together
,
aduaunst
her
,
from
a
Shop
Maide
,
firste
,
to
be
the
wife
of
Vicount
Hermes
:
after
whose
death
,
clyming
vp
to
further
honor
,
and
declyning
in
honestie
,
she
espoused
the
Counte
of
Zelande
.
Long
after
the
seconde
Mariage
,
shee
dallyed
not
with
her
disposition
,
which
was
rather
in
an
open
Shop
,
to
bée
courted
with
men
,
then
in
a
secreat
Chamber
to
be
accompanied
with
wayting
women
:
so
that
following
her
vnmodest
fancy
,
with
a
few
Prentices
,
she
fled
from
her
Husband
to
Padua
,
where
she
set
vp
for
her selfe
:
and
thus
she
vnworthely
raised
to
bée
a
Countesse
,
wickedly
,
and
wilfully
fel
to
be
a
Courtisan
.
Andrea
Zeno
,
a
Gentleman
of

,
was

serued

Daughter

who
vpon

without

I

Epethia

the

wife
of
Hanno
Prince
of
Carthage
,
was
a
Sailers
daughter
.
The
vertuous
Virginia
,
espoused
to
Sextillius
a
worthie
Senator
of
Rome
,
was
a
Laundresse
.
Both
these
were
beautified
with
such
singuler
vertues
,
as
while
they
lyued
,
their
honest
lyues
instructed
the
greatest
Lady
,
in

:
&
being
ded

the
remembrance
of
their

is
a

Séeing

I
am

But
how
?
quoth
Aluisa

doe
you
repent
you
of
of

of

Neither
qd
Dondolo

For
in
general
choice
,
this
course
is
out
of
the
way
,
to
Platos
Paradice
:
but
for
that
my
especial
Fortune
is
good
,
I
am
pleased
.
Yea
,
qd
Soranso
,
or
if
the
contrary
had
happened
,
this
might
haue
comforted
you
,
that
your
wife
should
not
haue
been
the
Wel

qd
Fabritio
,
and
Isabella
:
There
néedes
no
further
iudgement
in
this
Question
,
then
Dondolos
confession
and
his
yealding
,
to
Falieros
proofes
.
We
haue
in
this
exercise
taken
thrée
sundrie
wayes
,
(
quoth
Queene
Aurelia
)
and
yet
neuer
a
one
the
right
way
to
our
Paradice
:
and
nowe
it
is
too
late
to
traiuel
any
further
.
Therefore
we
will
:
refreash
our
spirites
with
a
little
Musicke
,
and
so
adiourne
our
further
controueruersies
vntill
too
Morowe
:
but
as
the
Eunuke
was
a
tuning
his
voyce
,
to
haue
fulfilled
his
Ladies
commaundement
,
Knowledge
was
giuen
of
certaine
honourable
Personages
ariual
:
by
occasion
wherof
,
the
company
left
their
determination
to
furnish
the
great
Chamber
.
The
wittie
deuice
of
Segnior
Philoxenus
,
to
giue
certayne
Comedians
a
Theame
,
to
present
some
pastime
in
action
,
the
fift
night
,
after
Supper
.
BY
that
time
,
Supper
was
done
,
certayne
Comedians
of
Rauenna
,
presented
their
seruice
to
Segnior
Philoxenus
,
&
his
honourable
companie
,
who
are
not
tide
to
a
written
deuice
,
as
our
English
Players
are
,
but
hauing
certayne
groundes
or
principles
of
their
owne
,
will
,
Extempore
,
make
a
pleasannt
showe
of
other
mens
fantasies
:
So
that
to
try
the
quicknes
of
the
Gentlemen
,
and
Gentlewomens
wittes
,
to
giue
the
Comedians
a
Theame
,
Segnior
Philoxenus
,
demaunded
the
meaning
of
certaine
Questions
.
Segnior
Soranso
,
quoth
he
:
What
passion
is
that
,
that
tormenteth
a
man
most
,
&
hath
least
power
to
ouercome
?
To
thinke
of
a
Womans
Inconstancie
,
qd
Soranso
:
which
gréeueth
euery
man
,
and
cannot
be
subdued
by
wo
men
themselues
.
Madame
Aurelia
,
(
qd
Philoxenus
:
)
What
thing
is
that
,
which
most
delighteth
,
and
most
deceiueth
a
Women
?
A
mans
dissimulation
.
(
qd
Queene
Aurelia
:
)
Which
Sirens
Songes
,
and
yet
turneth
to
as
deceitefull
a
conclusion
,
as
the
Crocadiles
Teares
.
This
yet
,
was
but
quid
pro
quo
:
so
that
neither
one
parte
,
nor
the
other
was
displeased
.
The
modest
laughter
being
ceased
,
Segnior
Philoxenus
demaunded
of
Ismarito
,
what
was
the
cause
of
most
Deuotion
?
and
yet
the
greatest
replenisher
of
Hell
.
Ignoraunce
[
qd
Soranso
]
whiche
causeth
men
to
worship
Stones
,
and
dishonour
God
.
Madam
Maria
,
what
is
that
(
quoth
Segnior
Philoxenus
)
that
of
men
is
least
estéemed
,
and
of
God
most
regarded
?
Chastitie
[
qd
Maria
Belochy
]
whiche
is
precious
before
God
,
and
a
laughing
stock
among
men
.
Doctor
Mossenigo
[
qd
Segnior
Philoxenus
]
amonge
men
who
is
the
most
cruell
?
A
Dycer
[
qd
the
Doctor
]
for
he
teareth
God
in
péeces
.
Enuious
,
who
murthereth
the
lyuing
,
and
the
fame
of
Madam
Lucia
[
qd
Segnior
Philoxenus
]
wherein
doth
a
man
please
a
woman
best
,
and
displease
himselfe
most
?
The
modest
Gentlewoman
began
to
blush
,
and
with
great
difficultie
resolued
this
Question
.
In
the
end
,
by
the
tongue
of
Alvisa
Vechio
(
quoth
she
)
In
giuing
of
her
,
her
Wyll
.
It
is
true
(
quoth
the
Doctor
)
for
her
delight
is
to
gouerne
,
wherin
her
discretion
,
giueth
others
cause
to
laugh
,
and
her
Husband
to
hang
the
Lyp.

what

Hope
[

whiche
incourageth
men
at
lybertie
,
to
attempt
great
matters
,
and
maketh

Madam
Helena
[
qd
Segnior
Philoxenus
]
what
is
that
which
woundeth
the
hart
,
&
yet
is
worshipped
of
the
eye
?
Beautie
(
quoth
Helena
Dulce
)
for
it
pleaseth
a
mans
eye
,
and
pearceth
his
hart
.
Segnior
Bergetto
,
(
qd
Segnior
Philoxenus
)
What
is
that
which
oweth
most
and
payeth
least
,
and
of
all
euils
is
the
worst
.
Ingratitude
:
(
quoth
Bargetto
:
)
For

Monster
receiueth
Madame
Franceschina
,
(
quoth
Segnior
Phyloxenus

What
is

Ielousie

If

Segnior
Philoxenus
stopped
his
digression
,
and
commaunded
the
Comedians
,
to

of

,
that
should
lyuelie

the

a
note
of
the

of
certayne

that

had
not

Segnior

in

looke

as
imbrace

and
therfore
,
though
he
bare
a

owne
Commentaries

hee
is
bounde
to
weare
a
Sword
by
his
side
,
to
doo
his
Countrie
seruice
.
For
Gouernment
,
and
Ciuil
behauiours
,
he
read
Plutarches
Moralles
:
Gueuaraes
Dial
of
Princes
:
the
Courtier
of
Count
Baldazar
,
Castillio
:
and
others
.
And
(
in
He
(
likewise
)
studied
Cosmographie
,
and
had
therin
commendable
knowledge
:
which
studie
,
can
not
,
but
much
please
and
commende
a
braue
minded
Gentleman
:
For
He
was
a
good
Hystorigrapher
,
and
had
read
manie
rare
Chronicles
.
How
pleasing
this
studie
is
to
a
Gentleman
,
is
liuely
expressed
in
his
owne
nature
,
greedy
of
newes
.
And
where
may
hée
haue
better
intilligence
,
then
Cronicles
?
in
which
,
quietly
in
his
owne
Study
,
he
may
receiue
knowledge
,
of
Actes
done
throughout
the
whole
worlde
.
He
was
a
good
Harrolde
,
and
had
read
much
in
Annorie
:
An
Arte
most
néedefull
,
for
a
Gentleman
,
in
that
it
is
These
Gentlemanly
studies
he
vsed
,
intermedled
with
others
of
more
pleasure
,
whiche
I
had
not
leasure
to
regarde
,
nor
memorie
to
beare
away
:
but
in
all
his
actions
,
and
behauiours
,
he
exposed
a
Gentleman
so
perfect
,
as
in
Baldezar
.
By
that
time
Segnior
Philoxenus
had
sufficiently
fed
Ismaritos
eyes
,
with
this
honourable
fauour
:
the
sounde
of
the
Trumpet
,
gaue
knowledge
of
dinner
,
so
that
Ismarito
,
was
driuen
to
leaue
,
that
earthly
Paradice
,
to
attende
honourable
Philoxenus
,
into
the
great
Chamber
:
against
whose
comming
,
the
Table
stoode
furnished
with
manye
daintie
Dishes
.
And
Duéene
Aurelia
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Companie
,
were
readie
to
salute
him
:
whiche
curtesye
perfourmed
,
she
tooke
her
appointed
place
and
the
rest
,
as
they
pleased
.
Towardes
the
latter
ende
of
this
dinner
,
a
meane
fellow
,
garded
betwéen
,
two
Furies
of
the
Kitchen
,
was
brought
coram
nobis
:
for
some
pettie
piylfering
in
the
Scullerie
.
Segnior
Philoxenus
,
referred
his
paine
to
the
Iudgement
,
of
the
Gentlemen
,
and
Gentlewomen
there
present
.
Some
of
the
Gentlemen
,
appointed
him
some
pleasaunt
paine
,
in
the
office
,
where
hée
dyd
the
trespasse
:
some
other
of
the
Gentlewomen
ouercome
,
with
a
natural
pitty
,
accepted
his
teares
in
satisfaction
,
and
so
discharged
him
:
But
the
Doctor
more
rougher
then
the
rest
,
tooke
him
vp
so
short
,
as
the
poore
fellow
was
driuen
to
say
,
Sir
,
where
you
may
help
,
hurt
not
:
The
Doctor
,
to
satisfie
his
request
,
and
to
kéepe
his
first
determination
,
aunswered
,
to
help
hange
a
Theefe
,
is
no
hurte
,
to
the
common
weale
,
your
petition
shal
be
signed
.
The
rascall
Théefe
,
hearing
this
seuere
Iudgement
(
as
the
Italians
are
naturally
quicke
witted
)
replyed
:
If
chéefe
Maiestrates
shoulde
set
their
handes
to
There
would
bee
more
Lawyers
hanged
,
for
stealing
of
Houses
,
then
Roges
for
robbinge
of
Headges
.
The
aunswere
of
the
Doctor
,
and
the
replye
of
the
poore
Fellow
,
made
that
company
so
merrie
,
that
for
the
pastime
,
the
trespasser
had
made
them
,
they
remitted
the
punishment
of
his
offence
.
The
laughter
quieted
:
in
the
commendation
of
his
Countriemans
capassitie
(
quoth
Soranso
)
Master
Doctor
,
this
poore
Snake
,
spake
true
Italian
.
Yea
(
quoth
the
Doctor
,
but
he
lackes
the
vertues
of
the
auncient
Romaines
:
couertly
expressing
thereby
,
that
their
Bargetto
enuying
the
fauours
,
Ismarito
receaued
,
and
for
some
pryuate
grudge
,
about
crossing
in
Argument
)
sought
by
some
pleasant
scoffe
,
to
raise
an
vnkinde
quarel
:
And
with
that
intent
(
quoth
he
)
Segnior
Ismarito
,
I
drink
vnto
you
,
with
a
better
affection
,
than
I
bare
you
in
my
sléepe
,
for
I
dreamed
,
with
my
Rapire
drawne
,
I
chased
Ismarito
,
quickly
aunswered
,
I
pleadge
you
(
Segnior
Bergetto
)
but
with
lesse
feare
then
you
supposed
to
bée
in
mée
,
when
you
were
asléepe
:
for
men
after
they
are
awake
,
expounde
dreames
by
contraries
.
Bergetto
,
deceaued
of
his
expectation
,
was
dryuen
by
patience
,
to
salue
the
wounde
,
he
had
giuen
hymselfe
.
But
Segnior
Philoxenus
:
to
take
away
the
cause
of
after
vnkindnesse
,
reaued
the
companie
,
of
leasure
,
to

there
is
a

kinde
of

so
in
looking
in
Maria
Belochi's

,
hée
vsed
certaine

gaue
a

pleasing
Iudgement
:
which
fired
all
the
Ladies

Gentlewomen
,
with
an
earnest
desire
,
to
know
their
fortune
:
and
by
this

,
the
remembrannce

of

was
taken
away

rose
from

and
after
ordenarie
curtesie
ended
,
they
paused
a
time
by
the
Fire
,
to
put
their

in
order
,
for
the
following
disputation
:
who
at

entred

where
the
Eunuke
readie
to

his

vnto

This
Sonet
,
mooued
the
company
to
smile
,
not
because
the
inuention
was
vnwittie
,
but
in
that
,
it
was
the
fruites
of
Doctor
Mossenigoes
Muse

who
to
reuenge
vppon
himselfe
all
the
iniurie
,
which
he
had
done
to
the

of

,
became
inamoured
of
Katharina
Trista
,
the
waspissest
Damosel
,
among
the
whole
troupe
of
Gentlewomen
:
But
knowing
the
Doctors
Phylosophie
,
could
not
so
subdue
his
affection
:
but
that
time
would
make
them
all
sporte
and
him
smarte
,
they
dissembled
their
knowledge
of
his
folly
,
as
déepely
as
hée
couered
the
passions
of

:
notwithstanding
to
raise

to

Whereupon

Fabritio
with

with

gaue
sentence
,
against
D●…ctor
Mossenigo
,
in
these
words
.
An

man
amourous
,
of
a
yong
Woman
,
is
an
enemie
,
both
to
his
health
and
reputation
,
for
the
causes
aforesaid
.
The
rest
of
the
companie
,
smyled
to
héere
this
iudgement
:
but
the
Doctor
,
brake
foorth
many
a
secret
sigh
,
not
for
the
disgace
he
tooke
in
his
pleading
(
for
he
defended
an
yll
matter
,
with
colour
sufficient
)
but
in
that
he
knew
this
verdict
would
alwaies
be
a
barre
in
his
sute
.
While
the
Doctor
and
Soranso
argued
:
Quéene
Aurelia
,
espyed
in
the
Cloath
of
Arras
:
a
Beast
fourmed
like
an
Unicorne
,
saue
that

bare
his
Horne
in
his
nose
:
whiche
beast
,
sléeping

laide
his
murthering
Horne
in
a
yong
Maidens
In
the
ende
(
quoth
Ismarito
)
Madam
,
I
haue
read
of
a
gallant
yong
Gentleman
of
Naples
named
Rinautus
,
that
was
Metamorphosed
into
such
a
Beast
,
by
this
aduenture
:
passing
through
the
Iland
Circe●…ū
[
that
Homer
speaketh
off
]
which
is
now
annexed
vnto
the
Continent
:
he
was
espied
of
Circes
,
who
inhabited
that
Ilande
.
This
wrincled
,
yll
fauoured
Witch
,
at
the
first
sight
,
was
surprised
in
Loue
,
with
the
goodly
shape
and
beautie
of
this
seemely
Gentleman
:
but
for
al
her
charmes
,
and
Inchauntments
,
her
Arte
failed
,
either
to
force
him
to
Loue
,
or
to
frée
her selfe
from
louing
:
for
,
notwithstandinge
,
shee
was
a
Goddesse
,
he
disdained
her
ouer
worne
,
soule
and
wythered
visage
:
and
shee
presumyng
of
her
Sorcerie
,
powred
fresh
Coales
,
vppon
her
kyndled
desyre
,
in
hope
that
necessitie
would
force
him
to
consent
,
to
the
requeste
,
fréewill
contemned
:
but
Cupid
(
to
whom
such
power
onely
belongeth
)
to
scourge
her
presumption
,
in
suche
sorte
hardened
Rinautus
harte
,
that
all
Circes
Sute
and
Sorceries
tended
vnto
a
fruitlesse
successe
.
In
so
much
,
as
in
her
rage
she
turned
him
into
a
Rhinocerot
,
a
Beast
of
vnconquerable
force
,
who
in
his
nose
,
beareth
a
borne
,
much
like
to
the
Unicorne
:
But
notwithstanding
hee
was
thus
transfourmed
(
as
King
Nahucadonizer
,
in
the
fourme
of
an
Oxe
,
retained
the
spirit
of
a
man
)
so
hée
in
his
altered
shape
,
nourished
his
auncient
disdaine
of
yll
fauoured
Circes
:
and
so
bee
fully
auenged
,
with
all
hys
force
,
pursueth
olde
Creatures
:
and
such
as
hée
ouertaketh
,
hée
goreth
to
death
:
yet
is
he
by
this
polycie
subdued
:
Place
a
faire
.
Maide
,
in
his
walke
,
and
foorth
with
hee
will
with
a
louinge
countenaunce
,
repaire
vnto
her
,
and
in
her
bosome
,
gently
bestow
his
murthering
Horne
:
and
sodainlye
,
(
as
one
rauished
with
contentment
)
hée
fauleth
a
sléepe
,
by
which
meanes
he
is
slaine
before
he
recouereth
the
vse
of
his
force
.
The
Companie
laughed
well
,
to
heare
this
straunge
Metamorphosis
.
In
the
end
(
qd
Quéene
Aurelia
)
I
would
Maister
Doctor
had
hard
this
Hystorie
,
when
hée
so
inuayed
against
Beautie
,
perhaps
,
he
would
haue
bene
affraide
of
her
vengeaunce
,
seeing
her
power
able
to
conquere
sauage
&
wilde
Beastes
.
But
the
Doctor
,
glad
of
this
aduantage
,
not
vnlyke
the
Atheistes
,
that
(
liue
as
though
,
they
hoped
neyther
after
heauen
,
nor
feared
Hel
)
yet
confesse
God
with
their
mouth
,
hecause
the
contrarie
woulde
make
them
hated
of
men
:
so
he
by
this
tale
,
found
out
both
a
warrant
,
to
maintayne
his
former
Blasphemie
,
and
to
excuse
his
present
Follie
in
Loue
:
And
to
Aucthorize
either
:
Madame

quoth
he
,
)
the
inchaunted
Beaste
,
approoueth
myne
opinion
of
Beauties
power
,
and
his
Death
is
a
greater
witnesse
of
her
crueltie
,
then
is
Doctor
Mossenigo
,
who
confesseth
that
Beautie
.

In

(
quoth

Socrates
●…altred
his

and
so
often
as
idlenes
presented
him
with
thys
passyon
,
he
read
his
written
remembraunce
:
and
by
some
honest
exercise
,
remooued
his
imagination
.
This
is
not
your

Maister
Doctor
(
quoth
Soranso
)
I
beléeue
,
there
is
some
vnkindnes
betwéene
Saturne

by
the
enuious
aspeckt
of
some

It
maye
be
(
quoth
the
Doctor
)
by
the
flatterie
of
Mercurie
,
Well
(
quoth
Quéene
Aurelia
)
let
vs
leaue
this
bye
matter
,
and
consider
better
of
Ismaritos
Metamorphosis
:
me
thinks
it
prophesieth
muche
mischaunce
to
an
Dulde
Wydowe
,
whiche
marteth
a
Yonge
man
,
and
no
greate
pleasure
to
the
yonge
maried
Bacheler
.
O
good
Madam
,
say
not
so
(
quoth
Soranso
)
for
in
this
It
may
well
be
to
their
Graue
(
quoth
the
Doctor
)
but
it
bryngeth
sorow
into
their
House
,
and
maketh
their
life
more
vnpleasant
then
death
:
and
if
Soranso
followe
this
Course
,
perhappes
his
day
wyll
be
no
better
then
Doctor
Mossenigos
.
Quéene
Aurelia
smilinge
,
saide
,
shee
feared
this
c●…ntention
woulde
bring
the
companie
to
hell
gates
.
Yet
quoth
she
,
In
that
I
imagine
the
way
will
be
pleasaunt
,
I
licence
you
to
perseuer
in
your
purpose
.
Uppon
which
warrant
(
quoth
Soranso
)
to
maintaine
Cleane
contrarie
(
qd
the
Doctor
)
for
the
follies
of
a
yong
man
is
sufficiently
punished
,
by
marrying
an
olde
woman
:
〈◊〉
the
sins
of
an
olde
widdow
,
ar
fully
plagued
,
in
matching
with
a
yong
man
:
for
that
(
contrarie
to
your
suggestion
)
neither
can
inioye
,
the
cause
of
their
Mariage
,
without
annoyance
to
their
mindes
:
for
his
lyking
,
is
fastned
on
her
riches
,
which
she
will
not
,
but
by
necessitie
leaue
:
&
her
loue
is
setled
on
his
person
,
which
for
her
pleasure
,
he
disdaineth
to
A
Begger
I
fownd
thee
,
and
so
thou
wylt
leaue
mee
.
To
chastice
her
talke
,
setteth
an
edge
of
her
tongue
:
to
suffer
her
in
her
rage
,
maketh
her
raylynges
irreuocable
.
By
your
wordes
,
Maister
Doctor
[
qd
Lucia
Bella
,
]
the
wife
is
the
greatest
cause
of
this
contention
,
and
yet
in
common
opinion
,
the
Husband
is
most
blamed
.
Madame
,
you
are
too
hastie
in
an
aduauntage
,
I
ment
no
such
parciallytie
(
quoth
the
Doctor
.
Yea
Madame
,
(
quoth
Bargetto
)
M.
Doctor
is
now
so
conquered
,
as
his
tong
is
the
Trumpet
of
your
pleasure
.
It
is
so
(
quoth
the
Doctor
)
to
sound
out
those
thinges
which
are
true
:
and
in
trueth
,
the
yonge
Husbande
often
tymes
,
maketh
the
euilles
,
good
in
déedes
,
which
the
olde
These
,
&
many
moe
complaints
,
she
preferreth
against
her
Husband
,
with
the
vehemencie
of
a
womans
passion
.
Her
Husband
,
that
knoweth
how
to
be
reuenged
in
déedes
,
(
for
his
own
credit
)
is
more
milde
in
words
:
he
layeth
al
these
blames
vpon
her
own
crooked
disposition
:
who
though
she
be
so
olde
,
as
a
man
can
hardly
loue
her
,
yet
with
a
cankred
ielous
froward
nature
,
she
wold
force
a
man
to
hate
her
:
But
what
remedie
,
since
his
fortune
was
so
hard
?
he
wold
starue
her
with
patience
:
and
only
adde
this
Suffrage
to
his
Letanie
:
A
praua
muliere
,
good
Lord
,
deliuer
mée
.
These
drie
scoffes
,
sets
her
hart
in
a
light
fire
,
and
(
saue
that
she
hath
not
so
many
colours
like
)
vnto
Iris
,
thundreth
out
the
venome
of
her
cankred
Spirit
in
reuylings
,
and
raylyngs
against
her
Husbande
:
And
(
to
say
trueth
)
her
case
is
to
be
pittied
,
as
much
as
her
tong
is
to
be
blamed
:
for
Iniurie
is
not
so
greuous
vnto
a
man
,
as
to
sée
his
Aduersarie
soothe
his
trespasse
with
an
honest
shoe
.
But
,
to
my
purpose
,
her
Husband
crosseth
her
with
a
quiet
Aunswere
:
yon
may
sée
friendes
,
sayth
he
,
wyld
fire
Thus
with
their
own
michéefes
,
they
greue
their
friends
,
delight
their
foes
,
and
wearie
their
Neighbors
,
in
according
their
debates
:
and
if
they
be
in
the
morning
quieted
,
and
go
home
in
peace
,
at
Noone
like
enemies
they
ar
redy
to
throwe
the
house
out
at
the
window
:
a
slut
like
the
furie
of
lothsomenes
,
shall
bring
in
dinner
,
because
the
Ielious
wife
,
dare
not
trust
her
husbande
with
any
maide
that
is
hansome
:
the
husbande
offended
,
throweth
the
Platters
at
her
head
,
and
axeth
if
she
meane
to
poyson
him
:
the
Wife
taketh
pepper
in
the
nose
,
and
sayth
,
if
hee
had
not
married
her
,
he
woulde
haue
beene
glade
of
the
worst
morsell
there
.
The
Husband
replieth
that
if
he
had
not
béene
so
mad
,
the
diuell
would
not
haue
married
her
.
Then
beginneth
the
old
Musik
,
tuned
perchance
with
a
rap
or
two
of
the
lippes
,
and
when
they
haue
brawled
their
fill
,
shee
runneth
and
bemoneth
her selfe
at
her
neighbors
,
and
he
goeth
and
maketh
himselfe
merie
with
his
Mistrisses
.
In
sooth
,
maister
Doctor
,
it
séemeth
to
mée
(
quoth
Sir
Soranso
)
that
you
haue
verie
substancially
proued
my
opinion
:
You
will
kill
her
with
kindnesse
,
(
quoth
Maria
Belochye
.
Yea
,
Madam
,
(
qd
Soranso
)
if
her
nature
be
so
froward
,
as
to
die
with
good
vsage
.
In
déede
Ladyes
quoth
the
Doctor
,
there
are
some
men
,
that
entertaine
their
olde

,
with
such
a
fayre
showe
of
flattering
looue
,
as
they
bewitche
them
euen
to

But
at
what
rate
dooth
she
purchase
this
kindenesse
?
O
euen
with
the
vndooing
of
her selfe
and
Children
:
yea
,
and
which
is
worse
,
it
is
the
pollicie
Maister
Doctor
(
quoth
Quéene

me
thinketh
your
wordes
doo
too
much
wrong
to
the

though
they
cannot
sufficiently
blame
the

I
graunt

dooth
direct
the

,
to

with

Segnior

smilelingly
,
demaunded
an
account
of
the
benefit
of
the
chosen
companies
sixe
dayes
Disputation

Sir
(
quoth
Soranso
,
with
a
modest
merry
countenaunce
)
we
are
like
to
present
you
a
Eanckrupts
reckoning
,
who
the
longer
he
occupieth
,
the
worse
he
thriueth
:
Stix
.
If
you
trauaile
with
as
much
pleasure
,
as
you
report
your
aduentures
with
ease
,
quoth
Signior
Philoxenus
,
I
wonder
but
a
little
though
errour
carryed
you
to
Hell
gates
:
but
to
incourage
you
to
perseuer
in
your
fyrst
purpose
,
let
this
comfort
you
:
that
thinges
when
they
are
at
the
worst
,
begin
again
to
amend
.
The
Feauer
giueth
place
to
health
,
when
he
hath
brought
the
pacyent
to
deathes
doore
.
The
Bée
,
when
he
hath
lefte
his
stinge
in
your
hand
without
dainger
may
playe
with
your
eye
lidde
:
so
,
when
all
the
inconueniences
of
Marriage
,
are
in
your
eares
,
you
may
very
well
receiue
her
into
your
heart
:
and
to
conclude
your
benifytte
with
your
owne
example
,
there
With
your
fauour
,
Sir
,
quoth
Dondolo
,
to
be
sicke
is
common
to
all
men
,
but
to
restore
to
health
,
vnder
God
,
is
the
offyce
of
the
Phisition
:
so
we
all
knowe
by
our
owne
trauaile
,
the
infirmities
of
Marriage
,
but
to
fynde
out
the
blessinges
,
muste
procéede
from
your
sound
directions
which
fauour
to
obtaine
we
are
all
earnest
suters
.
Your
request
is
so
iuste
quoth
Segnior
Philoxenus
,
that
if
I
were
able
(
as
I
am
not
)
to
better
your
i●…gementes
,
I
would
not
be
daintye
in
this
pleasure
:
but
for
that
the
more
the
opinions
are
,
in
the
end
,
the
more
profound
the
sentence
is
:
I
wyll
too
morrowe
(
in
part
,
to
satisfie
your
demaund
)
ioyne
with
you
in
your
ordinarie
swéete
exercise
.
Perchaunce
you
haue
ended
all
the
inconueniences
in

olde
yeare
,
and
I
may
begin
the
New
yeare
,
in
helping
to
bloome
the
blessings
of
Marriage
.
Quéene

broade

who
in

by

the

resemble

In
the
imbroderies
of
whose
Garments
,
Flowers
and

,
were
so
naturally

wrought

Ianus

of

(

in
the
likenes
of
a
Serpent
,
winding
his
body
into
a

holding
his

expressing
vnder

couertly

that

And
(
to
my

Segnior
Philoxenus
,
thus
bountifully
solemnized
the

who
in

honour
of

sets
forth
his

The
woorthy
Historie
of
Phrigius
and
Pieria
.
Reported
by
Segnior
Phyloxenus
.
IN
the
Register
of
Fame
,
wherein
the
Monuments
of
the
vertuous
are
Cronicled
,
as
presedents
for
theyr
posteritie
,
I
reade
,
that
in
the
famous
Cittie
of
Miletum
in
Ionia
,
as
soueraigne
Prince
and
gouernour
,
there
raigned
a
worthy
Duke
,
called
Nebeus
,
who
to
comfort
and
supporte
his
aged
yeares
,
had
to
his
sonne
and
onely
heayre
,
Phrigius
,
a
young
Gentleman
of
such
rare
towardlines
,
as
it
may
be
a
question
,
whether
he
weare
more
beholding
to
Nature
for
the
perfections
of
his
body
,
to
Vertue
for
the
qualities
of
his
minde
,
or
to
Fortune
in
suffering
him
to
be
so
nobly
borne
.
In
Myos
,
a
neighbour
Cittie
to
Miletum
,
there
was
also
a
Prince
of
much
renowne
,
named
Pythes
,
whose
Daughter
and
heyre
,
was
fayre
Pieria
,
by
whose
vertues
all
Ionia
was
renowned
.
The
auncient
enuie
betwéene
the
Cittizens
of
Miletum
and
Myos
,
was
tourned
into
amitie
:
and
the
open
warre
betwéene
Duke
Nebeus
and
the
noble
Pithes
,
was
peaceably
and
honourably
ended
:
All
such
happie
euents
,
succéeded
this
following
aduenture
.
Upon
the
Feastiuall
day
of
Diana
,
the
Cittizens
of
Myos
,
with
out
the
iniurie
of
Souldiers
,
might
lawfully
repayre
to
Miletum
,
to
sacrifice
to
Diana
,
vpon
which
safe
conduct
,
with
many
other
Ladyes
and
Gentlewomen
of
Myos
,
fayre
Pieria
waighted
on
her
Mother
to
Dianas
Temple
,
whose
rare
beauty
was
such
,
as
dazeled
the
eies
of
the
behoulders
,
like
the
reflections
of
a
Myrror
,
placed
against
the
Sunne
.
Among
many
that
looued
,
and
few
or
none
that
saw
possibility
of
grace
,
such
was
the
renowne
of
her
chasse
disdaine
,
young
Phrigius
beheld
Pieria
with
such
a
setled
eye
,
as
Dianas
Temple
sheelded
him
not
against
the
Arrowes
of
Looue
:
but
as
a
wounded
Stag
,
at
the
first
séemeth
little
dismayde
:
so
Phrigius
with
an
vnappalled
chéere
,
returned
to
the
Dukes
Pallace
,
and
as
pledge
of
truce
,
he
sent
his
heart
to
Myos
.
The
Ceremonies
and
Sacrifices
of
Diana
ended
,
the
Warres
renued
,
the
wonted
Massacres
,
Murthers
,
Rapines
,
and
outragious
cruelties
practised
by
the
Souldiours
of
either
part
:
in
so
much
as
Lawe
gaue
place
to
Armes
,
equitie
to
violence
,
and
all
publique
order
was
peruerted
,
and
vpon
the
point
to
be
destroyed
.
The
Captaines
of
Myos
encouraged
theyr
Souldiours
of
that
one
part
:
but
that
Souldiours
of
Miletum
,
were
driuen
to
comfort
theyr
Captaine
with
a
threatening
of
disgrace
.
But
ah
poore
Phrigius
,
what
aunswer
shouldst
thou
make
?
To
see
thy
Souldiours
slaine
,
and
thy
Citties
spoyled
,
without
proffers
of
rescue
were
dishonourable
:
to
bend
thy
forces
against
thy
owne
heart
,
were
vnnaturall
:
to
make
the
best
choyse
of
these
two
euilles
,
required
leasure
:
and
iudgement
.
And
therefore
aduisedly
to
consider
of
his
estate
,
at
this
time
Phrigius
satisfied
his
Souldiours
with
hope
of
some
spéedy
venturous
exployte
,
and
daungered
not
his
enemies
,
with
the
proffer
of
any
violence
:
so
that
either
power
kept
their
trenches
peaceably
,
but
yet
with
this
indifferent
perryll
,
that
they
attended
oportunitie
,
to
make
the
one
Conquerors
,
and
the
other
Captiues
:
for
the
long
Ciuill
contention
,
had
now
made
the
estate
of
either
as
desperate
,
as
the
fortunes
of
two
that
haue
their
substaunce
vpon
the
chaunce
of
Dice
,
the
one
to
haue
all
,
the
other
to
be
vndoone
.
When
Phrigius
had
with
slender
hope
thus
quieted
the
acclamations
of
the
people
,
he
retyred
himselfe
into
a
solitary
Chamber
,
to
be
the
sole
companion
of
his
outragious
passions
,
with
whom
he
thus
deuised
.
Ah
trayterous
eyes
,
betrayers
of
my
whole
body
,
the
scourge
of
Miletum
,
and
enymies
of
my
honour
:
the
vengeaunce
of
Oedippus
is
too
gentle
for
your
iniuries
:
what
doost
thou
say

oh
blasphemous
tongue

riuall
of

,
callumner
of
Beautie
,
and
hinderer

Then

to
demaunde

Beautie

But

though

Loue
,
haue
doone
but
what
is
iust
,
Fortune
hath
dealt
too
rigourously
with
me
,
to
render
my
heart
Captiue
to
his
Daughter
,
who
is
the
riuall
of
my
father
:
what
hope
may
I
giue
to
my
afflictions
?
when
possibility
of
comfort
is
taken
away
:
the
Parents
are
ready
to
sheath
their
Swords
in

an

entrayles

is
it

Children

imbrace

O

giueth

vnto

I
receyued

shall

exclayme

These

conflictes
Phrigius
had
with
his
bitter
passions
,
which
pursued
theyr
aduantage
,
with
such
thorny
feares

he

had
béene

Miletus
was
glad
to
sée
him

affected
,
and

him

daungerouslie
afflicted
:

ciuill
Fraies
,
had
buried
more
young
men
in
the
Fieldes
,
then
aged
in
the
Churches

Churchyardes

Therefore
to
confirme
his

and
to
comfort
him
with
hope
:
Lord
Phrigius
quoth
he
,
to
blame
your
affection
were
cruelty
&
no
sound
counsell
:
for
you
loue
Pieria
,
the
Parragon
of
the
worlde
,
to
discomfort
you
with
an
impossibilitie
of
her
fauour
,
were
cleane
against
the
possibilitie
of
your
fortune
:
for
besides
that
,
your
person
alluringly
pleaseth
,
your
authorities
commaund
:
yea
Piches
cannot
but
reioyce
,
Pieria
consent
,
and
all
Myos
desire
is
to
solemnize
this
Mariage
.
My selfe
,
and
the
grauer
sort
of
the
counsell
,
will
motion
the
matter
to
the
Duke
your
father
,
who
I
trust
wil
holde
the
affection
of
his
sonne
,
rather
to
procéede
from
the
iustice
of
Diana
,
then
the
iniurie
of
Cupid
.
Who
regarding
the
zelous
offeringes
of
Pieria
,
agreed
that
you
shoulde
be
wounded
,
that
Pieria
might
haue
the
honour
to
cure
you
,
in
whose
vertues
,
all
Ionia
hopeth
to
be
blessed

Therefore
,
to
make
your
affection
knowen

in
some
pleasing
Letter
,
to
Pieria
commend
your
seruice
,
and
to
deale
with
both
your
fathers

refer
the
care

How
swéete
the
smallest
hope
of

is

a

who
nowe
began
to
looke
cheerefully
,
and
with
hope
appeased
his
passions
:
so
that
imbrasing
Miletus
,
he
committed
his
life
to
the
fortune
of
his
discresion
:
and
while
his
passion
was
quicke
,
hee
presented
both
loue

seruice
to
Pieria

Phrigius

FAire

sith

a

let

not

strange
,
that
I

The

(

the

is

To

needeth

that

your

made
so

shal
hold
him self

so

SIR

I
receiued

that
your

,
so
far
passe
my
meryt
,
as
I
wun
der
at
the
errour
of

:
so
,
I
doubt
whither
so
honourable
a
personage
,
as
your
Lordship
,
can
yeelde
your
seruice
,
to
so
meane
a
Lady
:

if

were
of
that

,
whether
you
woulde
obay
,
to
bee
Seruante
to
her
,
whose
Fathers
ryuall
,
your
parentes
,
and
you
are
:
but
on
the
other
part
:
I
entertayne
a
faint
hope
,
that
you
are
not
so
much
enemie
to
your
honor
,
as
to
leaue
in
your
Aduersaries
possession
,
a
Monument
of
Dissimulation
:
Vpon
which
warant
,
and
your
free
offer
of
seruice
:
I
bind
you
,
by
a
curtuousrequest
,
to

to

:
that
I
may
without

of
Hostliyty
repaire

In

To
my
Lorde
Phrygius
:
delyuered
by
the
handes
,
and
blessed
with
the
louing
countenaunce
of
Pieria
,
was
returned
to
Phrigius
,
by
his
owne
messenger
:
who
,
after
hée
had
read
and
reread
this
Letter
(
not
for
that
,
the
Contents
,
gaue
him
any
assuraunce
of
Loue
:
but
for
because
,
they
commaunded
an
imployment
of
Seruice
)
hée
comforted
his
Spirit
,
with
hope
,
that
his
indeuour
in
this
charge
,
shoulde
,
both
reaue
all
doubte
,
of
dissimulation
,
by
hym
,
and
smoothe
Pierias
Browe
,
of
Chaste
disdayne
:
and
to
further
a
happy
ende
of
the
Countries
calamitie
.
In
the
beginnyng
of
Phrigius
contentment
,
Lorde
Miletus
had
so
dealt
in
these
affaires
,
as
in
shorte
time
Duke
Nebeus
,
and
Prince
Pythes
came
to
parle
of
peace
:
and
while
the
Counsels
of
either
parte
,
considered
vppon
the
Articles
of
agréement
:
Safecundit
of
Trafick
,
was
geuen
to
the
Inhabitants
of
either
Citie
.
How
swéete
the
friendly
incounters
,
of
these
aunciente
enemies
were
:
is
the
office
of
him
,
that
hath
béene
scourged
with
warres
:
who
,
though
they
were
but
in
the
estate
of
repriued
men
,
yet
the
hope
of
assured
peace
lightned
their
hartes
of
former
sorrowe
,
and
replenished
the
Faire
Pieria
,
nowe
safely
repaired
to
the
Aulters
of
Diana
:
and
Phrygius
,
more
of
desire
,
to
salute
his
Mistris
,
then
of
zeale
to
sacrifice
,
to
Chastetie
:
fayned
many
Deuotions
,
to
visit
her
Temple
:
where
these
Louers
,
for
the
reuerence
they
bare
to
the
place
,
forbare
to
encounter
in
any
spéeche
of
Loue
:
Yet
if
Diana
,
wolde
haue
publyshed
their
thoughts
,
shee
shoulde
haue
confessed
,
that
the
most
deuotionate
of
them
both
,
in
their
hartes
,
honoured
Iuno
,
in
the
eye
of
her
owne
Image
and
Aulters
.
But
Diana
,
though
shée
be
the
Soueraigne
of
single
Nimphes
:
yet
is
she
friende
to
Iuno
,
and
the
Chast
Married
:
and
only
enemie
,
to
Venus
and
the
wanton
sort
:
so
that
shee
tooke
in
worth
,
this
light
trespasse
:
yea
,
held
her self
honoured
,
that
her
sacred
Temple
,
should
bee
the
originall
cause
of
Myletum
and
Myos
,
peace
and
amytie
:
and
the
ende
of
their
auncient
enuy
,
and
enmitie
.
Wherfore
,
to
conclude
,
the
begun
agreement
,
she
sent
Concorde
and
Charitie
,
to

vp
Grudge
,

Duke
Nebeus
and
Prince
Pythes
,

from
the
vexation
of
these
furies
,
with
affable
and
friendly
intertainment
,
reasoned

parled
of

the

but
yet
with

consent
,
that
although
their
hartes
were
lynked
together
,
by

choyce
,
the
clapping
of

was
referred
to
the

who
burying

sprang
a

in
which
was
the

which
at
pleasure
being

expressed
the

yet
is
her
essentiall
substance
compounded
of

At

was
the

Enuy
armed
with

,
to

were
driuen

:
at
that
foote
wherof
the

Enuy
kept
,
to
hinder
that
passages
of
such

attempted
with
their

,
to

those
Ladies
at

:
who
hering
by

of

were
ariued
by
hope
,
that
the
vertu

with

drew

assailed

but
dry

so
that

But
Enuy
more
warie
then
Argus

pitifull
then

But

of

daunted
with
the
feare
of
his

,
imagining
that

stroke

recoyled

Whervpon

In
