The
Historie
of
two
Princes
,
Fantiro
and
Penillo
.
IN
the
Ilandes
of
Balino
,
neere
vnto
the
Citie
of
Dolno
,
there
liued
a
great
Duke
named
Firento
Sanelli
,
a
great
Lord
I
saie
,
for
that
he
was
great
both
in
honor
and
possessions
:
he
was
wise
,
and
therfore
much
honored
;
honorable
,
and
therefore
much
beloued
;
with
his
wealth
he
was
full
of
charity
,
and
therfore
enuied
of
none
,
but
the
courtous
:
hee
was
valiant
,
and
therefore
feared
of
the
wicked
:
but
couetous
,
and
therfore
followed
with
the
kinde
:
and
vertuous
,
and
therfore
blessed
by
the
highest
.
This
Lord
had
to
wife
a
swéete
Ladie
,
called
Merilla
,
a
creature
of
much
worth
,
in
the
best
construction
of
commendation
;
and
if
a
woman
might
be
like
an
Angell
,
she
might
be
saincted
for
her
vertues
:
her
modestie
with
his
grauity
,
her
pittie
with
his
valour
,
her
loue
with
his
charity
,
her
bountie
with
his
wealth
,
and
her
zeale
with
his
vertue
,
made
such
a
coniunction
in
perfections
,
as
that
vnder
the
heauens
,
there
were
hardlie
found
such
creatures
on
the
earth
.
This
blessed
Lord
and
Ladie
had
issue
male
,
onelie
one
sonne
named
Penillo
,
and
female
one
onlie
daughter
named
Merilla
:
the
parents
of
these
two
children
,
liued
till
they
sawe
them
both
to
followe
their
course
in
the
best
content
of
their
affections
:
Penillo
was
of
the
age
of
foure
and
twentie
yeares
,
of
stature
tall
,
ruddie
of
colour
,
well
complexioned
,
but
not
too
faire
;
his
haire
not
blacke
,
but
somewhat-inclining
thereto
,
his
countenance
milde
,
but
not
effeminate
,
his
proportion
in
no
part
imperfect
,
&
for
his
minde
,
it
was
of
an
excellent
temper
:
he
was
silent
,
but
vpon
good
cause
,
and
then
not
to
learne
what
to
speak
;
resolute
,
vpon
good
aduisement
,
but
not
rash
vpon
anie
aduenture
:
he
was
well
read
in
histories
,
and
well
qualified
in
manie
points
,
but
especiallie
in
the
varietie
of
languages
,
wherin
he
exceeded
maine
of
his
fathers
court
:
he
was
stated
for
his
wit
,
gentle
in
nature
,
kinde
with
discretion
,
bountifull
in
rewards
,
not
vaine
in
affection
,
and
constant
in
friendship
;
in
somme
,
he
was
amiable
among
Ladies
,
affable
among
Courtiers
,
sociable
among
souldiers
,
and
honorable
among
all
:
such
a
one
,
as
was
a
ioie
to
his
Parents
,
a
spectable
to
his
Court
,
a
comfort
to
his
friendes
,
and
an
honour
to
his
country
.
Now
for
his
sister
,
as
shee
was
excéeding
faire
,
so
was
shée
admirably
wise
,
yet
with
such
modest
kindnesse
,
that
she
was
so
honored
for
the
one
,
that
she
could
not
but
bee
loued
for
the
other
:
For
euerie
part
of
her
proportion
,
let
it
suffice
,
that
nature
shewed
her
Arte
,
in
leauing
nothing
imperfect
;
for
her
stature
not
tall
,
nor
verie
low
,
but
in
a
swéete
meane
;
her
countenance
sober
with
such
a
swéetnesse
,
as
rauished
the
loue
of
much
discretion
;
her
spéech
not
much
;
but
vttered
with
such
gouernment
,
as
amazed
the
hearers
,
that
could
iudge
of
the
worthinesse
of
commendation
;
her
affection
chiefely
carried
vnto
vertue
,
and
her
loue
knowne
but
vnto
one
,
of
whome
dependeth
a
great
part
of
my
historie
,
as
hereafter
you
shall
heare
.
But
I
will
leaue
further
to
talke
either
of
her
,
or
her
louer
in
this
place
:
and
onelie
entreat
of
another
Duke
,
who
dwelt
in
the
Ilandes
of
Cotasie
,
confining
vpon
the
aforesaid
Ilandes
of
Balino
.
This
Duke
had
to
name
Ordillo
,
a
man
famous
for
much
worth
as
well
in
wit
as
valour
:
who
in
all
his
warres
against
his
enemies
was
neuer
knowne
to
turne
his
backe
,
but
with
aduantage
,
vpon
retire
,
gaue
ouer
no
assault
till
he
had
entred
the
strengths
,
nor
surceased
his
warres
till
he
had
the
honour
of
the
field
:
he
was
at
home
a
Lambe
,
and
abroad
a
Lyon
,
where
wisedome
with
clemencie
so
gouerned
the
nature
of
his
disposition
,
that
his
subiectes
no
lesse
loued
him
,
then
his
enemies
did
honnor
him
:
In
particular
,
to
laie
downe
his
commendation
were
but
tedious
,
and
therfore
in
somme
let
it
suffice
that
he
was
a
Prince
of
that
worth
,
that
made
him
held
worthie
of
his
gouernment
.
This
Duke
had
to
wife
a
gratious
Ladie
,
whose
goodnes
was
such
in
the
worlde
,
as
made
her
soone
fit
for
the
heauens
:
for
such
was
her
delight
in
diuine
contemplations
,
and
so
little
her
foie
in
anie
earthlie
substance
,
that
languishing
in
the
worlde
with
longing
after
heauen
,
shee
liued
not
manie
yeares
with
her
louing
Lord
on
the
earth
,
but
the
Lorde
of
all
loue
tooke
her
vp
into
the
heauens
:
yet
before
her
departure
from
this
life
,
she
had
by
her
Lorde
the
Duke
,
two
blessed
children
,
a
sonne
and
a
daughter
;
her
sonne
,
named
Fantiro
,
and
her
daughter
Sinilia
.
The
young
Lord
,
a
man
of
excellent
partes
,
both
for
bodie
,
and
mind
,
whose
particular
perfections
,
would
requre
a
volume
to
describe
in
their
true
kindes
,
but
for
that
by
a
little
light
,
mai●…
the
whole
daie
be
considered
,
let
thus
much
suffice
,
that
both
for
valour
and
vertue
,
he
might
well
be
called
the
Souldiers
Dictionarie
,
〈◊〉
the
Courtie●…s
Looking
glasse
:
And
for
his
sister
,
if
I
coulde
as
briefelie
set
downe
her
excellencie
,
I
would
not
thinke
it
the
least
point
of
eloquence
;
but
for
all
those
rare
perfections
that
maie
dignifie
the
name
of
an
earthlie
creature
,
I
maie
saie
,
shee
was
in
the
honour
of
reason
,
the
wonder
of
nature
.
But
least
in
my
introduction
into
my
historie
,
I
〈◊〉
more
tedious
then
pleasing
,
I
will
leaue
this
Duke
Ordillo
with
his
blessed
children
for
a
while
,
and
I
will
returne
to
the
Duke
Firento
,
of
the
Ilands
of
Balino
,
and
his
sonne
Penillo
,
one
of
the
most
gallant
gentlemen
in
the
world
.
This
Duke
Firento
finding
his
sonne
of
so
noble
a
spirite
,
a●…
could
not
containe
his
content
,
within
the
confi●…es
of
his
fathers
countrey
,
but
that
as
well
by
his
delight
in
the
reading
of
histories
,
his
forwardnesse
to
the
warres
,
his
conuersa●…on
among
strangers
,
and
especiallie
such
as
professed
armes
,
noting
I
say
his
disposition
〈◊〉
to
the
trauailing
life
,
that
he
feared
he
should
not
long
keepe
him
at
home
,
vpon
good
●…ration
,
how
best
to
aduise
him
either
for
his
staie
,
or
trauaile
to
his
liking
,
finding
him
one
daie
by
chance
all
alone
walking
in
●…
close
arbour
in
his
garden
,
commanding
apart
all
his
attendantes
,
tooke
occasion
in
great
kindnesse
thus
to
deale
with
him
.
Penillo
,
what
fondnesse
it
were
in
mee
,
to
flaster
thee
,
with
thy
much
worthinesse
of
my
loue
,
I
had
rather
thou
shouldest
conceiue
,
then
I
explaine
,
although
I
re●…oice
therein
more
of
my
knowledge
,
then
I
would
haue
thee
prowd
of
my
content
:
but
my
déere
sonne
,
let
me
tell
thee
,
that
as
I
thinke
my selfe
not
a
little
happie
in
my
hope
of
thy
good
,
as
well
for
my
priuat
comfort
,
as
the
profit
of
my
whole
countrey
:
so
,
if
by
the
indiscretion
of
thy
disposition
,
or
by
the
crueltie
of
fortune
,
crossing
alwaies
the
course
of
vertue
,
thou
shouldest
not
onely
deceiue
my
hope
,
but
destroie
my
happines
,
to
the
sorrow
of
mine
age
,
and
cutting
off
my
daies
,
thinke
with
thy selfe
my
deare
sonne
,
if
it
may
lie
in
thy
power
to
preuent
the
worst
,
and
performe
the
best
,
shouldst
not
thou
find
thine
owne
vnkindnes
,
in
proouing
so
vnnaturall
,
as
to
grieue
the
soule
of
him
that
deerely
loueth
thee
,
and
to
be
an
occasion
of
his
death
,
who
vnder
heauen
was
the
originall
of
thy
life
?
Be
not
appauled
my
son
,
speake
freely
I
giue
thee
leaue
;
if
thou
canst
imagine
the
cause
of
my
speech
,
and
as
thou
best
likest
,
without
the
least
doubt
of
my
displeasure
,
I
praie
thee
giue
me
thy
answere
.
The
young
Lorde
,
little
expecting
this
kind
of
gréeting
with
his
good
father
,
and
neuer
vnprouided
to
answere
the
darkest
demand
that
might
be
made
him
,
especiallie
from
his
father
,
in
whom
he
could
not
haue
anie
thought
of
the
least
dislike
of
him
,
with
a
staied
humble
countenance
began
thus
to
frame
his
replie
.
My
gratious
Lord
,
as
I
reioice
not
a
●…title
in
the
greatnes
of
your
more
naturall
,
then
deserued
loue
,
which
looking
onelie
into
your
owne
goodnesse
,
haue
builded
your
hope
of
my
happines
,
so
if
I
could
finde
in
my selfe
the
least
thought
of
vnthankfolnesse
,
whereby
I
might
iustly
purchase
your
harde
opinion
,
surely
,
I
should
thinke
my selfe
worthy
of
death
,
that
shoulde
liue
,
to
giue
offence
vnto
the
fairest
comfort
of
my
life
:
But
,
as
my
conscience
doth
assure
me
of
no
such
criminall
conceit
,
so
do
I
protest
that
I
doe
not
a
little
marueile
what
should
leade
you
into
this
manner
of
question
:
for
as
I
cannot
bee
vnnaturall
,
so
will
I
not
feare
you
to
be
vnkinde
,
but
humbly
beseech
you
for
the
better
accomplishing
of
your
content
,
in
some
plainer
method
to
acquaint
me
with
your
good
meaning
.
The
olde
man
loath
to
mooue
griefe
in
his
sonne
,
whose
deserued
loue
he
was
fullie
assured
of
,
and
yet
willing
to
be
satisfied
of
his
true
resolution
,
touching
his
humour
of
trauaile
,
with
much
adoe
brake
into
this
spéech
with
him
.
Penillo
,
I
haue
of
late
noted
in
thee
,
as
well
by
thy
studie
in
the
languages
,
as
by
thy
conuersation
among
strangers
,
and
thy
loue
to
souldiers
,
that
the
aduenture
of
thy
fortune
abroad
will
be
more
pleasing
to
thee
,
then
thy
best
contentment
at
home
:
but
if
I
might
by
the
aduise
of
my
experience
,
perswade
thée
to
the
care
of
my
knowledge
,
I
should
easily
make
thée
finde
the
sweete
of
the
old
prouerbe
,
that
home
is
home
,
be
it
neuer
so
homely
:
The
rowling
stone
gathereth
no
mosse
,
&
that
prospereth
in
one
ground
maie
perish
in
another
.
Aduentures
are
dangerous
,
the
seas
boistrous
,
and
the
warres
perilous
,
and
great
is
the
difference
betweene
strange
companions
,
and
home
friendes
:
what
canst
thou
sée
abroad
,
that
is
not
here
?
The
same
earth
,
and
little
different
in
nature
either
for
heat
or
cold
;
the
same
sunne
shining
there
that
shineth
here
;
men
and
women
in
the
same
shape
that
thou
séest
here
;
in
their
vniuersities
,
the
same
kinde
of
sch●…lers
,
in
their
cities
,
marchantes
,
and
men
of
trade
and
traffique
as
we
haue
in
ours
;
in
their
villages
,
such
farmers
and
labourers
;
in
their
tribunall
seates
,
such
iudges
;
in
their
warres
,
such
men
of
armes
;
in
their
court
such
Lords
and
Ladies
,
and
in
all
places
such
kinde
of
people
as
in
some
places
of
our
dominion
,
thou
maiest
take
notice
of
,
if
thou
be
circumspect
:
what
shall
I
saie
to
perswade
thée
rather
to
staie
at
home
,
then
stray
abroad
?
Thou
hast
a
father
that
loues
thee
more
déerely
,
then
any
friend
can
doe
;
a
sister
,
whose
vertue
with
her
beautie
,
deserueth
an
honorable
fortune
,
and
which
I
thinke
not
thy
least
charge
in
conscience
to
haue
a
care
,
in
as
much
as
maie
lie
in
thee
to
accomplish
,
thy
mother
holdes
thee
so
deere
as
her
life
,
thy
friends
make
a
iewell
of
thy
kindnesse
,
thy
followers
in
thine
honour
settle
the
hope
of
their
fortune
,
and
my
subiectes
in
thy
wisdome
repose
the
happinesse
of
their
whole
state
:
All
this
and
manie
more
particular
causes
of
content
,
thou
hast
here
at
home
,
likelie
euery
daie
to
encrease
,
where
abroade
,
how
bitter
wil
be
thy
change
,
I
feare
to
thinke
,
should
sorrowe
to
heare
,
and
shall
not
liue
to
dilgeste
,
though
perhaps
such
maie
bee
the
mercifull
nature
of
the
glorous
height
of
the
heauens
highest
grace
,
as
maie
fauour
thy
disposition
,
prosper
thy
aduentures
,
and
blesse
thee
in
all
thy
actions
.
But
as
it
is
ill
to
distrust
God
,
so
is
it
not
good
to
tempt
him
:
answere
me
therefore
truly
to
that
I
demand
of
thee
,
whether
thy
desire
be
to
trauaile
,
or
not
,
&
what
are
the
reasons
that
perswade
thy
resolution
,
howsoeuer
it
be
,
y●
shalt
find
in
me
that
kindnes
,
that
the
condition
of
thy
loue
deserueth
.
The
young
Prince
caried
no
lesse
in
obedience
to
the
loue
of
his
father
,
then
willing
to
aduenture
his
fortune
,
to
atchieue
the
honor
of
his
hope
,
in
as
good
tearmes
as
he
coulde
,
vppon
the
sodaine
made
his
father
this
answere
.
If
it
maie
become
so
vnworthie
a
son
as
my selfe
,
to
so
honourable
a
father
as
your
maiestie
,
to
stand
vpon
argumentes
of
controuersie
,
for
the
direction
of
his
course
of
life
;
crauing
pardon
for
what
soeuer
I
shall
speake
,
that
maie
perhaps
be
vnpleasing
to
your
expectation
:
I
will
not
only
deliuer
you
the
truth
of
my
intent
,
but
the
reasons
that
haue
induced
me
into
the
determination
of
my
resolution
.
I
haue
heard
your
maiestie
often
saie
that
nature
begetteth
no
deformitie
,
but
rather
the
true
image
of
it selfe
;
and
as
in
outwarde
proportion
,
so
do
I
thinke
in
the
qualitie
of
the
spirit
,
the
sonne
may
participate
with
the
father
;
and
although
tha●…
vertue
be
the
gift
onelie
of
God
,
yet
in
the
inclination
and
disposition
of
the
mind
,
the
sonne
maie
take
somewhat
of
the
fathers
spirit
.
For
proofe
whereof
,
I
haue
often
heard
you
saie
that
yo●…
were
your
fathers
sonne
,
such
was
your
desire
to
see
the
world
,
for

bitter
stormes
,
sharpe
〈◊〉
in
a

were
more
pleasing
to

then
the
most

banquet

the

the
calmest
weather
;
and
the
sweetest
peace

that
either
his

court
,
his
own
chamber
,
or
the
most
pleasant
Paradise
that
his
whole
countrie
at
home
could
yeeld
him
:
and
such
were
your
delightes
,
rather
to
heare
a
Trumpet
in
a
fielde
,
then
a
Lute
in

chamber
,
and
to
see
the
assault
of
a

then
the
dauncing
of

Your
maiestie
would
euer
preferre
a
trotting
courser
,
before
an
ambling
lootecloth
,
a
peale
of
ordinance
,
before
a
ring
of
belles
,
and
a
bloudie
sword
before
a
painted
looking
glasse
:
in
somme
,
if
in
alsuch
courses
of
your
conceit
,
you
followed
the
inclination
of
my
Grandfather
,
will
you
think
it
strange
in
me
to
follow
the
steps
of
your
affection
?
Haue
you
not
allowed
my
reading
of
histories
,
and
how
many
of
any
account
are
written
onelie
of
home
actions
?
Haue
you
not
wisht
me
to
make
much
of
strangers
?
and
shall
I
not
studie
languages
where
with
to
entertaine
them
?
I
must
confesse
there
is
no
friend
to
a
father
,
whose
loue
cannot
be
separated
from
the
fruit
of
his
own
body
.
Home
dwelling
is
full
of
ease
,
but
not
of
honour
,
which
is
rather
purchased
by
aduentures
,
then
by
nature
inherited
:
friends
are
kind
,
so
maie
strangers
be
full
of
courtesse
,
and
he
that
looketh
not
into
the
world
,
wanteth
much
wherein
to
glorifie
the
Lorde
God
.
My
sisters
fortune
I
had
rather
leaue
to
the
effect
of
your
wisedome
,
then
my
weaknes
:
and
knowing
her
discretion
wil
nothing
feare
the
honor
of
her
affection
.
My
mothers
tender
care
of
me
maie
be
more
kind
then
commodious

for

I

No

by

is

:
〈◊〉
the
same
sunne
shineth
in
one
place
that
shineth
in
another
,
but
not
at
one
and
the
same
time
;
men
and
women
are
of
the
same
proportion
,
but
not
of
the
same
disposition
,
which
is
a
note
of
great
regard
;
the
diet
,
apparell
,
deineanour
,
and
inclination
of
euerie
countrie
is
to
be
deserued
,
and
the
obseruations
well
taken
maie
fall
out
to
be
commodious
,
so
I
haue
heard
you
say
,
my selfe
haue
read
,
and
verely
beléeue
:
by
trauaile
I
shall
learn
who
are
our
friendes
or
foes
,
and
so
either
to
estéeme
them
or
beware
of
them
:
My
friendes
that
you
maie
spare
will
followe
me
in
my
course
,
or
allowe
of
my
content
,
my
seruantes
will
attend
the
issue
of
my
fortune
,
and
my
countrey
I
hope
shall
be
benefited
by
my
trauaile
.
I
intend
no
long
voiage
,
nor
anie
at
all
without
your
liking
,
but
if
with
your
leaue
I
might
haue
my
desire
,
I
must
confesse
I
would
willinglie
a
little
set
foote
abroad
into
the
world
,
and
for
that
there
are
,
as
I
am
certainlie
informed
,
a
great
number
of
gallant
young
gentlemen
,
shortlie
intending
to
attend
the
Emperour
in
his
warres
against
the
Turke
,
wherein
,
who
performeth
the
true
parts
of
valour
,
shall
returne
with
the
badge
of
deserued
honour
,
I
humbly
beséech
you
,
with
as
little
charge
as
it
shall
please
you
,
to
furnish
me
to
this
piece
of
seruice
,
from
whence
I
am
assuredly
perswaded
,
I
shall
neuer
returne
with
discontentment
.
Now
hauing
reuealed
vnto
your
maiestie
both
the
nature
of
my
inclination
,
the
grounde
from
whence
it
grew
,
and
the
reasons
that
haue
there
to
induced
me
,
I
leaue
to
your
fatherly
loue
to
consider
of
my
dutie
,
and
your
discréete
consideration
,
to
thinke
of
my
stay
or
frauaile
.
The
good
old
Duke
,
finding
that
the
colte
of
a
courser
would
hardly
be
brought
to
the
harrow
,
a
lapwing
would
runne
as
soone
as
it
was
out
of
the
shell
,
&
a
bird
of
his
own
fether
would
take
after
his
owne
slight
,
though
it
could
not
but
grieue
him
,
to
haue
him
far
out
of
his
sight
,
yet
knowing
the
quarrell
good
that
he
went
to
fight
in
,
with
the
Emperour
against
the
Turk
,
and
that
manie
princes
had
sent
their
sonnes
to
gaine
honor
in
that
piece
of
seruice
,
after
a
few
words
of
some
vnwillingnesse
to
want
the
comfort
of
his
presence
,
was
not
only
contented
to
like
well
of
his
desire
,
but
promised
,
with
his
blessing
to
furnish
him
for
his
voiage
:
And
so
,
leauing
him
with
his
father
the
Duke
,
going
into
his
pallace
to
perswade
the
Duchesse
patience
to
his
departure
;
I
will
returne
to
the
Duke
Ordillo
of
the
Ilandes
of
.
Cotasi
,
of
whom
when
I
haue
tolde
you
what
happened
of
his
son
Fantiro
,
I
will
returne
againe
vnto
the
Duke
Firento
,
and
the
young
Prince
.
But
touching
the
Duke
Ordillo
,
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
one
daie
in
the
heate
of
sommer
intending
to
take
his
pleasure
in
a
forrest
neere
vnto
the
sea
side
,
and
hauing
a
stately
redde
déere
so
long
in
chase
,
as
had
almost
spent
all
his
whole
crie
of
houndes
,
wearie
with
following
the
crie
,
and
knowing
that
the
young
Prince
his
sonne
was
of
so
strong
a
bodie
,
though
but
a
childe
in
years
,
that
he
would
bring
him
the
newes
of
the
death
of
the
Déere
,
with
a
soft
pace
breathing
his
horse
,
with
a
prettie
traine
of
his
attendantes
,
retired
himselfe
to
his
pallace
in
a
parke
neere
vnto
the
forrest
,
where
I
will
leaue
him
for
a
while
expecting
the
returne
of
his
sonne
,
and
I
will
tell
you
what
became
of
the
fruit
of
his
expectation
.
The
young
Prince
sole
heire
male
vnto
his
father
,
and
so
little
beloued
by
his
vncle
brother
to
the
Duke
,
and
one
of
his
priuie
Counsaile
,
that
to
aduance
his
owne
children
,
he
cared
not
what
became
of
his
brothers
sonne
,
was
by
a
villaine
that
hee
had
hired
for
the
purpose
,
trained
aside
from
the
chase
,
somewhat
neere
vnto
the
sea
,
where
hauing
him
alone
,
farre
enough
from
companie
,
either
to
heare
what
hee
said
,
or
to
sée
what
hee
did
,
drewe
out
his
sword
,
and
with
a
terrible
countenance
framed
for
the
purpose
,
after
he
had
made
him
to
lightdowne
from
his
horse
,
vsed
this
spéech
vnto
him
:
Howe
now
young
master
?
You
dined
well
,
but
you
had
no
good
sauce
to
your
meate
,
but
I
must
make
you
such
a
dish
of
sauce
to
your
supper
,
th●…ir
all
the
cookes
in
your
fathers
Court
neuer
sawe
the
like
:
For
to
make
short
worke
with
you
,
I
must
see
what
bloud
is
about
your
hart
,
and
I
must
sende
it
to
your
vncle
to
his
venison
:
nowe
,
if
you
can
come
and
beare
him
companie
,
you
shall
tell
me
if
it
be
not
worth
the
tasting
.
The
young
Prince
Fantiro
,
hauing
in
his
heart
no
little
spark
of
his
fathers
spirite
,
séeming
nothing
at
all
dismaied
at
his
shreates
,
nor
as
it
were
,
making
ante
fearfull
account
of
death
,
throwing
off
his
cloake
,
and
vnbuttoning
his
doublet
,
with
a
s●…erne
countenance
,
made
him
this
answere
:
Thou
saucie
rascall
,
what
art
thou
?
a
man
?
a
dogge
?
or
a
deuill
?
that
darest
to
thinke
so
villanous
a
thought
,
or
to
vtter
so
impious
a
spéech
,
as
to
murther
the
innocent
,
or
to
luie
a
violent
hand
vpon
the
least
haire
of
my
head
?
am
not
I
sonne
to
thy
master
?
and
master
to
thy selfe
?
did
I
euer
hurt
thee
?
Naie
,
haue
I
not
béen
too
bountifull
in
my
good
will
,
vnto
so
vngratefull
a
villaine
?
Looke
about
thee
,
séest
thou
not
a
God
in
the
heauens
?
and
knowest
thou
not
there
is
a
deuill
in
hell
?
that
vpon
the
instant
of
thy
villanie
,
standes
not
readie
to
receiue
thee
?
Oh
worst
of
all
creatures
,
how
canst
thou
looke
towards
the
heauens
?
and
dost
not
hang
downe
thy
head
,
to
think
of
the
villany
of
thy
hart
?
Looke
thou
wretched
slaue
,
my
brest
is
open
for
thee
,
thinke
I
feare
not
death
,
for
I
knowe
I
shall
not
liue
one
minute
past
the
houre
that
is
appointed
me
;
and
therfore
doe
thy
worst
:
and
for
mine
viscle
,
God
forgiue
him
the
vnnaturall
villanie
that
hee
hath
shewed
in
this
action
.
The
intended
murtherer
,
not
a
little
amazed
at
the
spirit
of
so
young
a
bodie
,
vnwilling
to
returne
to
the
Court
without
performance
of
his
promise
,
as
well
for
the
want
of
his
promised
rewarde
,
as
for
feare
of
his
displeasure
that
had
set
him
to
worke
,
and
yet
loath
to
embrue
his
handes
in
the
bloud
of
so
swéete
a
creature
,
replied
vnto
him
with
these
wordes
:
My
Lorde
,
the
Lorde
of
lordes
knoweth
how
loath
I
am
,
to
fall
into
the
lapse
of
the
diuell
by
this
hellish
action
;
and
therfore
as
wel
to
saue
your
life
from
the
murtherous
malice
of
your
vncle
,
who
will
neuer
leaue
by
all
deuises
to
séeke
your-bloud
,
as
to
saue
mine
owne
assured
to
be
lost
,
if
I
returne
without
his
contentment
:
I
beséech
you
giue
eare
to
what
I
say
,
and
I
hope
it
shall
be
for
both
our
good
.
In
the
next
hauen
néere
adioining
,
lieth
a
shippe
readie
to
put
to
sea
towardes
the
citie
of
Dolno
,
in
the
Ilandes
of
Balino
,
the
Merchant
that
hath
fraight
and
victualed
her
is
one
Mario
Duronte
,
a
friend
of
mine
,
to
whom
I
will
put
you
as
my
sonne
,
entreating
him
to
carrie
you
shither
,
and
there
to
leaue
you
either-with
some
Courtier
or
Merchant
that
he
is
acquainted
with
for
some
terme
of
yeres
,
for
that
I
would
haue
you
to
learne
the
languages
;
Now
there
,
if
your
fortune
be
to
doe
well
,
I
shall
be
glad
of
it
,
if
otherwise
,
wo
bee
to
me
,
though
vnwillinglie
to
be
the
author
of
it
.
This
spéech
though
it
were
no
little
griefe
to
him
to
leaue
his
fathers
Court
,
and
to
abandon
his
countrey
in
so
poore
a
sort
,
and
vpon
so
hard
a
fortune
,
yet
willing
of
all
ils
to
chuse
the
least
,
was
contented
rather
to
accept
this
little
kindnesse
,
to
be
put
seruant
to
an
vnfit
master
,
then
to
trust
anie
longer
to
the
courtesie
of
so
wicked
a
creature
;
&
therfore
with
great
thankes
,
assuring
him
that
God
would
regarde
his
pittie
,
and
that
himselfe
would
neuer
forget
his
honestie
,
giuing
him
a
purse
of
golde
that
hee
had
about
him
,
kéeping
verie
fewe
crownes
for
himselfe
,
tooke
his
waie
toward
the
hauen
,
and
by
the
way
meeting
with
none
that
knewe
him
,
passed
vndescried
vnto
the
shippe
,
where
being
aboord
,
and
entertained
into
seruice
with
Signor
Mario
,
they
put
to
sea
,
the
tide
seruing
fi●…lie
for
their
purpose
,
leauing
the
villaine
to
returne
to
his
wicked
master
with
the
newes
of
his
Nephew
,
whome
I
will
leaue
at
the
Court
,
telling
him
in
secret
a
deuised
lie
of
the
drowning
of
the
young
Prince
,
and
I
will
tell
you
what
became
of
him
,
and
his
fortune
.
The
winde
seruing
well
to
their
wished
shore
,
it
was
not
long
till
Mario
Doronte
arriued
,
at
the
cittie
of
Dolno
,
where
he
had
not
lien
many
daies
,
but
hauing
occasion
to
go
to
the
court
,
tooke
with
him
his
young
seruant
Rantifo
,
for
so
was
the
young
Prince
nowe
miscalled
by
the
villaine
that
had
intended
his
death
:
Now
being
come
to
the
Court
,
and
there
well
entertained
by
some
not
of
the
meanest
sort
,
with
whom
he
had
to
〈◊〉
with
in
his
businesse
,
crossing
the
Court
,
there
happened
a
Noble
man
of
the
Dukes
chamber
,
to
cast
his
eie
vpon
this
young
Prince
,
the
Merchantes
imagined
prentise
,
whome
calling
to
him
,
after
a
fewe
wordes
had
with
him
,
affecting
verie
much
both
his
person
and
spirit
,
made
such
meanes
to
the
Merchant
,
that
for
a
small
summe
of
crownes
,
with
promise
of
a
greater
friendship
,
he
obtained
him
at
his
handes
,
and
entertaining
for
his
page
,
and
finding
in
him
such
fine
qualities
,
as
did
much
deserue
the
encrease
of
his
good
liking
of
him
,
he
helde
him
in
such
account
,
as
was
not
commonlie
séene
nor
by
him
expected
,
vpon
so
little
knowledge
:
But
the
Merchant
after
the
dispatch
of
his
businesse
returned
to
his
country
,
and
the
young
Prince
now
a
page
caried
his
seruice
with
such
care
,
as
was
not
a
little
regarded
in
the
Court
,
nor
vnrewarded
of
his
master
;
who
in
few
yeares
,
hauing
perfected
his
forwardnesse
in
many
good
qualities
,
by
maintaining
his
desires
in
all
good
instructions
,
with
true
commendations
of
his
worthinesse
,
preferred
him
to
the
Duke
his
master
,
who
in
a
little
time
,
tooke
so
due
a
regard
of
his
seruice
,
that
to
the
viewe
of
his
whole
Court
,
hee
made
shew
of
his
excéeding
fauour
.
But
I
will
leaue
him
for
a
while
in
the
beginning
of
his
fortune
,
in
the
Court
of
his
fathers
enemie
vnknowne
to
him
,
and
himselfe
vnknowne
to
the
Duke
what
he
was
,
and
I
will
returne
to
Pinello
,
the
young
Prince
,
sonne
to
Feronte
.
The
Duke
of
Dolno
in
the
Ilandes
of
Balino
,
who
hauing
obtained
leaue
of
his
parents
for
his
voiage
into
the
Emperors
Court
,
and
so
to
attende
him
in
his
warres
against
the
Turke
,
had
no
sooner
set
foote
aboord
,
but
a
sudden
storme
tooke
him
scarce
out
of
sight
of
lande
,
and
draue
him
for
sauegard
of
his
life
,
and
all
that
were
with
him
,
to
put
in
at
a
hauen
within
the
Ilandes
of
Cotasi
;
where
the
Duke
Ordillo
his
fathers
enemie
was
chiefe
gouernour
:
who
though
he
were
in
his
debt
for
a
summe
of
mony
lent
vnto
his
father
,
and
therfore
by
lacke
of
paiment
had
purchased
his
displeasure
,
yet
hauing
heard
of
his
sonnes
arriuall
,
sent
to
entertaine
him
in
such
good
sort
,
as
befitted
the
honour
of
his
person
,
who
being
met
in
great
solemnitie
,
by
diuers
of
his
Lordes
,
was
after
he
had
béene
feasted
by
the
Gouernours
of
his
chiefe
cittie
,
with
a
great
troupe
of
Nobles
attended
vnto
the
Court
of
the
Duke
,
of
whome
hee
quicklte
receiued
such
an
vnexpected
welcome
,
as
in
the
roialty
of
his
spirit
,
would
haue
remitted
both
all
debt
and
displeasure
:
not
to
stande
too
long
vpon
néedlesse
discourses
,
let
it
suffice
that
the
Dukes
kindnesse
,
the
Nobles
attendance
,
the
Ladies
sweete
fauours
,
and
the
welcome
of
the
whole
Court
,
was
such
,
as
made
him
manie
daies
longer
then
he
determined
,
to
make
aboade
in
that
countrey
:
but
aboue
all
,
the
gratious
kind
countenance
of
the
Dukes
onely
daughter
,
not
a
little
affected
by
this
gallant
young
Prince
,
was
not
the
least
cause
of
his
state
,
of
whom
since
a
great
part
of
my
storie
dependeth
,
I
will
tell
you
,
what
I
reade
fell
out
betwixt
them
.
This
young
Princesse
the
onlie
daughter
of
Ordillo
,
not
a
little
affecting
the
outward
person
,
&
inward
vertue
of
this
young
Prince
,
who
was
nothing
behinde
with
her
in
great
contentment
with
her
much
worthines
of
his
good
liking
,
tooke
occasion
one
morning
,
séeing
him
walking
out
of
his
lodging
into
a
garden
,
right
against
her
chamber
windowe
to
take
a
priuate
waie
through
a
gallerie
downe
into
the
same
garden
,
where
in
a
close
walke
néere
vnto
the
gréene
alley
where
the
Prince
was
walking
vnséene
of
him
a
pretie
while
,
fell
into
this
talke
with
a
gentlewoman
an
attendant
of
hers
,
whom
she
held
in
great
account
,
and
to
whom
she
reuealed
the
secret
of
all
her
hart
:
Oh
Delina
quoth
she
(
for
so
was
her
name
)
little
doest
thou
know
the
cause
of
my
●…ate
melancholie
,
but
I
dare
trust
thée
with
my
life
,
and
for
that
I
know
thou
hast
past
through
the
Labyrinth
,
that
I
am
nowe
in
,
I
will
hope
the
better
of
thy
aduise
for
my
comfort
:
Since
the
comming
of
the
Prince
Penillo
,
into
my
fathers
Court
,
thou
hast
not
séene
me
hartely
merrie
,
for
though
I
conceale
much
of
my
passion
,
yet
will
I
somwhat
ease
my
hart
,
with
telling
thée
somewhat
of
my
minde
.
Some
foure
or
fiue
daies
before
the
newes
came
to
our
court
of
the
arriuall
of
this
worthy
Prince
,
I
had
a
dreame
that
held
me
all
the
time
of
my
sléepe
,
the
most
part
of
a
whole
night
:
the
remembrance
whereof
in
the
morning
and
euer
since
,
hath
troubled
mee
verie
much
:
which
as
néere
as
I
can
remember
I
will
tell
thée
.
Me
thought
I
was
going
thorough
a
thick
wood
,
where
were
a
number
of
nettes
and
snares
,
layde
in
euerie
pathe
where
I
shoulde
passe
,
yet
me
thought
I
passed
thorough
them
so
easily
,
as
if
they
had
beene
of
no
strength
;
till
at
last
I
came
towarde
a
great
water
,
where
neere
vnto
the
shore
laie
a
great
Boate
,
and
from
the
Boate
laie
a
long
line
,
made
all
of
golde
&
pearle
,
within
the
compasse
whereof
,
treading
yet
I
was
aware
,
mee
thought
some
thing
gaue
a
snatche
,
wherewith
the
line
whip●…e
about
my
middle
,
and
caried
mee
into
the
Boate
,
with
the
sodaine
fright
whereof
I
awaked
.
Now
what
saiest
thou
to
this
dreame
?
Delina
,
no
lesse
witty
concetted
of
her
dreame
,
then
noting
the
cariage
of
her
humor
,
made
her
this
answere
.
Madame
if
a
blind
body
may
catch
a
Hare
,
I
may
happen
to
come
somewhat
néere
the
expasition
of
this
night
fansie
.
The
wood
you
went
in
,
is
the
court
,
the
nettes
,
the
eies
and
tongues
of
your
sutors
,
that
had
no
power
to
take
sure
holde
of
your
affection
;
now
the
great
water
maie
be
the
Sea
,
and
the
golden
line
,
the
young
Prince
,
that
may
cary
you
away
from
your
father
:
for
if
I
be
not
much
deceiued
,
he
hath
you
by
the
heart
,
whatsoeuer
it
was
that
helde
you
by
the
middle
.
Unhappie
wench
,
quoth
the
Princesse
,
thou
rouest
too
néere
,
that
hittest
the
marke
so
right
:
but
yet
maiest
thou
bee
deceiued
in
one
point
,
thoughe
not
in
some
other
;
I
haue
past
the
nettes
,
that
is
true
;
and
I
am
caught
,
it
is
not
vntrue
,
but
that
he
either
wil
,
or
shall
carie
me
awaie
,
that
I
feare
will
not
fall
out
:
But
God
knoweth
all
,
tò
whose
onelie
will
I
leaue
it
,
as
farre
may
come
as
neere
,
foes
maie
be
friends
,
and
loue
where
he
doth
light
doth
more
then
all
the
world
besides
.
His
presence
maie
please
the
purest
eie
,
and
for
his
wit
,
I
heard
my
father
woonder
at
it
,
for
his
bountie
,
our
court
speaketh
of
it
,
and
for
his
vertue
,
who
doth
not
see
it
?
but
for
his
loue
,
happy
is
shee
that
shall
enidie
it
:
for
princesse
wisedome
,
with
honourable
bountie
,
shewes
a
diuine
spirite
in
an
excellent
nature
,
and
of
such
a
temper
I
hold
him
,
and
for
such
a
one
I
loue
him
,
and
will
euer
honour
him
,
though
I
neuer
haue
him
.
The
young
Prince
hearing
this
pretty
parly
betwixt
the
Ladie
of
his
loue
,
and
her
handmaid
,
with
a
voice
lowde
enoughe
to
be
heard
of
them
that
were
so
neere
,
fell
thus
to
talke
to
the
aire
:
Oh
heauens
,
who
can
withstand
the
force
of
the
fates
?
was
I
going
to
the
wars
to
gaine
honor
in
the
fielde
,
and
am
I
driuen
to
seeke
a
peace
,
by
being
vanquished
in
a
chamber
?
Did
I
go
to
fight
with
the
great
Turke
,
and
am
I
now
afraide
of
a
little
Christian
?
Is
this
the
fruit
of
a
storme
at
Sea
?
to
come
into
this
kind
of
calme
at
lande
?
Well
what
shoulde
I
talke
to
the
trees
that
heare
mee
not
?
or
to
the
birdes
that
vnderstande
me
〈◊〉
?
or
to
the
aire
that
helpes
mee
not
?
Oh
Bilanta
,
blessed
werte
thou
borne
,
if
thy
beautie
haue
beene
the
beginning
of
my
happines
;
and
happie
,
if
thy
vertue
ioine
issue
with
my
affection
:
for
though
our
parentes
be
at
iarre
,
we
maie
be
at
one
,
and
what
anger
in
them
cannot
yéeld
vnto
,
loue
maie
effect
in
vs
,
an
ende
of
heartburning
in
our
patentes
,
and
a
beginning
of
quiet
in
our
countries
.
But
howe
shall
I
hope
of
thy
loue
?
my
fathers
displeasure
maie
brééde
a
doubt
of
my
loue
;
besides
she
maie
be
affected
otherwise
then
I
know
:
where
at
the
young
Princesse
in
her
close
walk
replied
no.
What
quothe
the
young
Prince
,
is
there
here
such
an
eccho
?
The
Ladie
againe
replied
,
oh
.
The
young
Prince
amazed
at
this
eccho
,
went
on
with
this
speech
:
Oh
that
I
knew
Bilanta
indeede
would
regard
my
loue
;
she
answeared
loue
:
Loue
quoth
the
Prince
,
but
whome
doeth
she
meane
?
I
would
I
knewe
his
name
;
she
answeared
name
:
name
quoth
the
Prince
,
but
who
maie
it
be
?
If
it
be
one
onelie
,
shee
answeared
onelie
:
Onelie
quoshe
hee
,
onelie
happie
in
déede
,
would
so
were
Pinello
;
she
made
answere
Pinello
:
With
that
the
Prince
putting
the
wordes
of
the
eccho
together
,
made
vp
this
speech
:
Oh
loue
,
name
onelie
Pinello
.
And
musing
a
little
vpon
his
conceit
of
this
sound
,
looking
aside
,
espied
the
young
princesse
,
with
her
attendant
walking
out
of
the
Arbour
into
the
Garden
,
whome
meeting
with
,
at
the
ende
of
a
crosse
alley
,
he
saluted
with
this
gréeting
.
Sweete
Princesse
,
when
there
bee
two
Suns
shining
at
one
instant
,
it
cannot
be
but
faire
weather
:
one
in
the
skie
,
and
an
other
on
the
earth
,
both
which
meete
so
sweetelie
in
this
blessed
péece
of
ground
,
that
let
him
die
in
his
bed
,
that
will
not
walke
in
such
a
morning
.
The
Lady
not
fully
perswaded
of
his
affection
,
for
al
his
playing
with
ecche
,
and
yet
hoping
wel
of
his
words
,
till
his
deedes
fell
out
otherwise
,
with
a
modest
smile
made
him
this
answeare
.
My
Lord
,
if
your
spéeches
were
not
so
high
in
the
cloudes
,
that
poore
soules
on
the
earth
know
not
how
to
gesse
of
your
meaning
,
I
shoulde
bee
the
better
able
to
frame
an
answeare
to
your
salutation
;
but
howsoeuer
the
sun
shine
in
the
heauens
,
the
shadow
of
your
imagination
,
if
it
were
a
substance
of
that
worth
,
that
might
answeare
a
far
lesse
figure
,
then
your
fauour
,
would
be
loath
that
anie
fowle
weather
shoulde
hinder
the
happines
of
your
faire
walke
:
but
I
perceiue
such
morning
Astronomers
can
plaie
prettilie
with
their
owne
humors
.
Prettie
Lady
(
quoth
the
prince
)
the
best
plaie
that
I
know
,
is
at
,
be
you
pleasde
,
where
hee
that
lightes
vppon
a
good
carde
were
vnwise
if
he
woulde
change
:
the
princesse
rouing
vnhappilie
at
his
conceit
replied
againe
,
and
yet
my
Lord
,
to
be
afraid
of
good
fortune
,
is
sometime
cause
of
much
losse
:
yea
Madame
answered
the
Prince
,
but
fortune
is
so
fantasticall
,
that
there
is
no
trust
to
be
had
in
her
▪
and
therfore
I
hold
my
opinion
;
rather
to
kéepe
a
good
choise
,
then
to
aduenture
a
bad
change
.
I
am
no
gamster
answered
the
Princesse
,
and
therfore
can
speake
but
idlte
of
the
sport
,
but
they
that
are
pleasde
are
happie
,
and
they
will
not
hold
themselues
so
,
are
vnwise
.
The
Prince
playing
vpon
this
word
pleasde
,
went
forwarde
with
this
speech
:
Good
Madam
,
mate
it
then
please
you
to
be
pleasde
,
with
the
seruice
of
my
affection
?
which
no
further
then
desart
,
will
seeke
the
houour
of
your
fauour
.
The
Ladie
with
a
modest
smile
somewhat
concealing
her
content
,
〈◊〉
him
this
answere
:
My
good
Lord
,
I
am
glad
it
pleaseth
your
greatnesse
to
be
so
merry
with
your
poore
friends
:
but
such
seruice
,
as
your
fauour
,
must
be
graced
with
greater
honour
then
my
vnworthinesse
can
accomplish
.
The
Prince
not
a
little
contented
with
her
spéech
,
replied
againe
in
these
words
:
Madam
,
to
make
a
long
haruest
about
a
little
corne
,
were
but
a
weake
piece
of
husbandrie
;
and
therfore
not
to
hold
you
with
a
tedious
discourse
in
plaine
tearmes
,
you
are
the
card
that
I
meane
,
my
plaie
is
no
iest
,
your
loue
is
the
stake
,
that
I
would
be
glad
if
I
could
to
win
,
you
are
the
choise
,
that
I
haue
made
,
and
that
I
would
bee
loath
to
change
:
and
therfore
if
a
souldiers
eloquence
,
maie
haue
fauour
in
your
audience
,
let
my
heart
and
hand
in
your
honour
speake
for
my
desart
in
your
affection
.
The
Ladie
not
able
to
couer
the
fire
,
that
was
now
past
kindling
,
brake
sodainlie
into
this
answere
.
My
Lorde
,
to
reape
the
corne
ere
it
be
ripe
,
maie
prooue
more
haste
then
good
spéede
,
and
yet
to
let
it
grow
till
it
shedde
,
were
great
losse
to
the
farmer
;
and
therfore
the
taking
of
time
is
profitable
to
the
prouident
.
I
will
not
teach
your
honour
what
to
doe
,
but
if
my
loue
be
the
prize
of
your
pleasure
,
you
cannot
loose
the
hope
of
your
patience
,
assuring
my selfe
,
that
the
reach
of
your
conceit
,
excéedeth
not
the
roialtie
of
your
spirit
;
which
in
the
regard
of
vertue
deserueth
nothing
but
honour
:
and
for
that
the
heart
of
a
souldier
,
is
frée
from
the
tongue
of
a
dissembler
.
I
will
rather
beleeue
the
truth
of
valour
,
then
giue
eare
to
the
falshood
of
a
weaker
spirit
:
But
for
that
manie
crosse
fortunes
,
maie
hinder
the
happinesse
of
the
most
honorable
resolutions
,
let
me
intreat
your
patience
to
make
triall
of
〈◊〉
constanci●…
,
ere
you
make
my
vnworthinesse
,
mistresse
of
my
contentment
.
The
Prince
nothing
disliking
this
good
motion
in
her
good
minde
,
kissing
her
hande
,
made
this
kinde
conclusion
:
Faire
Princesse
,
the
discretion
of
your
good
motion
,
I
exceedingly
like
of
;
for
your
credit
to
my
truth
,
I
cannot
but
thanke
you
,
for
the
honour
wherewith
you
entitle

I
returne

fully

vpon
you

for
the
nature
of
my

let
your
vertue
discerne
it
,
and
for
the
faith
of
my
affection

I
vow
you
shall
command
it

but
as
you
know
I
haue
resolutely
intended
to
attende
the
Emperour
in
his
warres
against
the
Turke
,
where
if
I
gaine
honor
,
the

shall
bee
graced

if
I
die

let
it
suffice
thy selfe
to

of
my

with

whome
howsoeuer
be

I
vow
to
leaue

and
so

thinking
to
procéede
in
their
further
conference

spying
certaine
Ladies

and
Gentlewomen
with
their
friends

attendants
comming
into

they
singled
themselues
one
from

hee
retiring
himselfe
to
his

and
she
to
her
close
arbour
,
where
I
leaue
them
for
a
while
to
meditate
vpon
their
muses
,
and
I
will
returne
vnto
〈◊〉
late
Page
vnto
the
Duke
Feronte
.
Fantiro
sonne
to
the
Duke
Ordillo
,
preferred
by
the
Merchant
before
spoken
of
,
vnto
one
of
the
Duke
Ferontes
Court
,
and
after
by
his
Lord
and
master
vnto
the
Duke
himselfe
,
hauing
so
well
caried
himselfe
in
his
seruice
,
that
he
was
not
onlie
beloued
of
the
Duke
his
now
Lorde
and
master
,
but
of
all
his
whole
Court
,
and
especiallie
of
Senilla
the
onelie
daughter
of
the
Prince
,
of
whom
he
had
often
receiued
such
secret
tokens
of
honorable
fausurs
,
as
except
he
would
hide
both
his
eies
,
he
must
néedes
perceiue
some
part
of
her
affection
:
But
among
al
,
this
was
not
the
least
,
that
one
daie
among
other
,
in
the
afternoone
,
the
Duke
being
disposed
to
haue
some
〈◊〉
,
and
dancing
in
the
presence
,
falling
out
in
a
daunce
,
that
euery
knight
was
to
take
his
Ladie
,
and
euerie
Ladie
her
seruant
,
on
whom
she
would
bestowe
her
fauour
;
in
the
presence
of
her
father
the
Duke
she
tooke
Fantiro
by
the
hand
and
accompanied
him
in
the
measure
,
till
the
dauncing
was
wholie
ended
.
Which
was
noted
of
manie
,
especially
of
one
,
who
hauing
more
wealth
then
honour
,
thought
to
buy
loue
with
drosse
,
which
ilfauoured
dogge
,
vnworth●…e
to
bee
called
a
man
,
yet
attended
with
farre
better
then
himselfe
,
séeking
in
what
hee
might
to
disgrace
this
vnknowne
Prince
,
came
one
daie
by
chance
into
a
galleris
néere
adioining
to
the
presence
,
where
he
found
the
yong
Princesse
walking
all
alone
,
and
vpon
the
sodaine
standing
as
it
were
in
a
muse
,
looking
vpon
a
picture
of
an
Ape
playing
with
an
Owle
,
where
smiling
to
her selfe
which
was
the
best
shaped
creature
,
shee
sawe
comming
towardes
her
the
onelie
hobby
horse
of
a
man
,
that
euer
disgraced
a
coate
of
veluet
:
whome
,
rather
for
the
fauour
that
he
helde
with
her
father
,
then
for
anie
affection
,
that
the
had
reason
to
carrie
him
,
she
for
ill
fashions
sake
thus
saluted
Signor
Sperto
,
for
so
was
hee
called
(
whether
christened
or
no
,
I
know
not
)
God
giue
you
good
morrow
:
The
flouch
of
a
slouen
with
a
slauering
smile
,
vpon
a
slubbered
conceit
,
after
manie
good
〈◊〉
began
to
trouble
her
with
this
tattle
.
Truely
〈◊〉
,
I
am
glad
it
was
my
good
happe
,
to
méere
so
conuenient
〈◊〉
lie
with
your
〈◊〉
,
as
well
for
the
honour
that
I
wish
you
,
a●…
for
the
seruice
I
would
be
glad
to
doe
you
:
for
though
a
Quince
bee
a
tree
of
no
straightnesse
,
yet
it
beareth
a
faire
〈◊〉
wholesome
fruit
,
the
fallow
〈◊〉
is
rough
,
yet
it
beareth
the
best
〈◊〉
,
and
the
Ore
hath
but
an
ill
hue
,
yet
is
there
pure
golde
to
be
had
in
it
,
so
maie
it
bee
that
in
me
you
maie
ūnde
some
cause
of
discontentment
,
〈◊〉
you
haue
made
triall
of
more
then
I
will
protest
:
but
emploie
me
in
your
seruice
,
consider
of
my
desart
,
and
doe
me
iustice
in
your
fauour
:
Let
your
fathers
loue
be
an
ingression
into
my
Grace
,
and
the
endeuour
of
my
dutie
,
the
encrease
of
my
good
for
tune
:
The
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
is
commended
for
shining
as
well
vpon
the
valleies
as
the
mountaines
,
the
sea
is
beloued
as
well
for
a
Pinnis
as
a
proud
ship
,
and
is
not
the
pearle
in
a
shell
,
more
worth
then
the
oyle
of
a
Whale
?
then
thinke
it
not
vnpossible
,
to
find
that
spirit
in
me
that
you
maie
perhaps
finde
in
a
fairer
faced
ereature
:
a
Diamonde
is
the
brighter
for
his
foile
,
a
faire
horse
,
is
the
more
beautifull
,
by
the
deformitie
of
a
fowle
iade
,
and
how
can
you
bee
better
graced
,
then
in
fauouring
the
disgratious
?
for
my
loue
,
I
will
compare
it
with
anie
liuing
;
and
for
my
seruice
I
would
it
could
expresse
my
louing
.
Good
Madam
pardon
my
boldnesse
in
acquainting
you
with
my
suit
,
which
hath
no
life
but
in
the
onely
fruit
of
your
good
fauour
.
The
Ladie
so
little
liking
the
outward
dogge
,
that
shee
had
no
patience
to
thinke
of
the
inward
Deuill
;
little
studying
for
an
answere
,
brake
of
a
sodaine
into
this
spéech
:
Sir
,
for
your
kindenesse
I
thanke
you
,
but
for
your
paines
I
would
be
loath
to
trouble
you
:
for
though
your
eloquence
be
great
,
yet
all
is
but
a
sound
,
and
when
the
stringes
are
once
slipt
,
the
lute
is
but
a
piece
of
wood
:
the
Diamond
is
to
be
loued
for
his
fire
,
not
his
fotle
,
a
comelie
horse
with
a
iade
,
will
make
an
●…lfauoured
coniunction
,
〈◊〉
to
grace
the
vngratious
,
is
against
the
haire
of
a
good
wit
.
My
fathers
loue
,
and
my
liking
maie
differ
vpon
causes
,
and
your
seruice
and
my
command
not
méete
in
anie
occasion
of
emploiment
:
for
the
sunne
shining
on
the
valleies
,
it
is
a
blessing
of
the
heauens
;
and
for
the
Pinnis
sayling
thorough
the
seas
,
it
is
by
the
bearing
nature
of
the
water
,
but
for
the
pearle
in
the
shell
,
indéede
I
must
confesse
it
is
farre
better
out
,
of
it
,
then
in
it
;
and
to
conclude
,
for
the
inwarde
sharpenesse
of
your
witte
,
if
it
were
not
in
so
grosse
a
person
,
I
could
perhaps
take
patience
with
my
fauour
,
to
make
some
emploiment
of
your
seruice
:
but
for
that
I
would
not
féede
you
with
vaine
hopes
,
to
hang
vpon
the
skirtes
of
my
faire
spéeches
,
let
〈◊〉
suffice
you
not
to
abuse
you
,
that
I
could
bee
content
of
ten
to
heare
you
,
but
neuer
to
see
you
.
Whereat
the
wicked
wretch
,
like
a
galde
horse
kicking
at
the
noise
of
a
currie-combe
,
fret●…ing
at
his
owne
deformitie
,
where
a
squinte
eie
,
a
halfe
nose
,
and
a
wrie
mouth
had
no
grace
,
in
a
great
rage
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
his
cold
entertainment
went
awaie
with
these
wordes
:
Well
,
if
you
like
not
that
you
see
,
you
maie
pull
out
your
eies
,
and
softlie
muttering
to
himselfe
,
I
will
méete
with
you
ere
you
be
,
aware
,
and
crosse
you
in
your
most
comfort
,
meaning
with
Fantiro
her
loue
,
now
in
that
Court
called
Rantifo
.
But
I
will
leaue
the
wretch
to
his
wicked
inuentions
,
going
from
the
Ladie
to
the
Duke
her
father
,
and
I
will
tell
you
a
fewe
wordes
of
the
Lady
and
her
louer
,
whose
good
hap
it
was
presentlie
after
the
departure
of
this
sweete
Gentleman
,
to
come
into
the
gallerie
where
his
Ladie
and
mistris
was
,
verie
solemnlie
walking
,
but
fearing
that
he
had
offended
her
fauour
with
pressing
into
her
presence
,
began
to
retire
himselfe
towards
the
doore
,
as
not
willing
further
to
mo●…ue
her
patience
;
which
the
Ladie
espying
,
and
willing
a
little
to
embolden
his
dutie
in
her
fauour
,
called
him
vnto
her
with
these
wordes
:
My
good
seruant
,
what
meanes
this
too
much
good
manner
?
or
shall
I
call
it
strangenesse
?
or
found
you
them
not
here
that
you
looked
for
?
or
are
you
displeased
with
them
that
you
see
?
Truely
I
wil
not
hurt
you
,
and
to
put
you
in
further
comfort
,
if
you
haue
any
suit
to
my
father
or
affection
to
any
friend
of
mine
,
assure
your selfe
I
will
not
hinder
you
,
though
how
much
I
will
further
you
I
will
not
tell
you
.
The
young
Gentleman
,
in
this
Court
vnknowne
what
hee
was
,
and
therefore
carrying
no
greater
title
,
not
a
little
glad
of
this
kinde
gréeting
,
made
her
this
humble
answere
:
My
gratious
Ladie
and
mistris
,
I
feared
nothing
but
your
displeasure
,
nor
ioie
in
anie
thing
vnder
the
heauens
but
your
fauour
:
my
suit
to
your
father
,
is
but
his
imploiment
of
my
seruice
,
and
for
my
affection
to
your
friendes
,
it
shall
be
wholie
in
the
honour
of
your
vertue
:
Now
therefore
I
humblie
beséech
you
pardon
but
my
truth
,
and
regard
my
triall
,
which
shall
make
me
nothing
my selfe
more
then
I
shall
be
happie
in
your
seruice
.
Oh
seruant
(
qd.
the
Princesse
)
I
sée
you
study
not
for
nothing
,
I
beleue
you
read
Ouid
,
you
would
séeme
to
make
such
a
Metamorphosis
of
your self
,
of
late
a
soldier
altogither
in
the
field
●…
now
a
louer
fall
to
courting
in
a
chamber
.
Rantifo
not
vnprouided
of
an
〈◊〉
replied
in
this
manner
:
Good
Madam
,
my
affection
is
no
fiction
,
what
soeuer
it
maie
please
you
to
thinke
of
my
studie
,
but
when
the
honour
of
a
souldier
is
the
fauour
of
his
mistris
,
giue
me
leaue
to
serue
your
father
in
the
field
,
and
honour
you
in
the
Court
:
and
though
the
meanenesse
of
my
estate
make
the
vnworthinesse
of
my
fortune
,
yet
thinke
a
star
in
his
right
place
,
maie
hap
to
prooue
to
be
a
planet
.
The
Princesse
of
the
sodaine
began
thus
to
replie
,
for
starres
〈◊〉
planets
,
I
leaue
the
proprietie
of
their
places
,
to
the
studie
of
Astronomers
;
but
if
your
minde
be
heauenlie
,
the
highest
prosper
your
humor
:
and
,
as
she
was
going
onwards
with
her
spéech
,
vpon
the
sodaine
she
espied
certaine
Ladies
comming
in
to
entre
at
her
companie
into
the
garden
,
wherewith
leauing
her
praier
to
her
seruants
Amen
,
with
a
fauourable
glaunce
she
left
him
to
his
muses
,
&
with
the
Ladies
that
came
to
her
,
went
downe
into
the
garden
;
where
I
will
leaue
her
in
the
pleasant
walkes
to
take
the
benefit
of
the
sweete
aire
,
and
I
will
tell
you
,
what
did
follow
of
Fantiro
,
and
his
fortune
.
Fantiro
now
called
Rantifo
,
no
sooner
had
left
his
mistris
,
but
with
a
concealed
●…oy
gat
him
presently
to
the
Dukes
chamber
,
where
taking
his
place
of
attendance
,
espi●…d
comming
from
the
Duke
,
Signor
Sperto
the
swéete
gentleman
that
I
before
spake
of
,
who
comming
by
Rantifo
,
with
a
fleering
laughter
,
as
one
that
had
plaied
the
Iew
with
him
behind
his
back
,
gaue
him
a
wrie
mouth
good
morrow
;
which
he
taking
verie
kindl●…e
,
not
yet
knowing
his
cunning
practise
,
returned
him
very
humbly
:
but
after
his
departure
finding
the
Dukes
countenance
,
as
it
séemed
to
him
vpon
the
sodaine
somwhat
altered
,
from
his
former
kind
of
kindnesse
,
began
so
suspect
,
that
Iacke
an
apes
was
not
without
his
trickes
,
and
that
his
being
with
the
Duke
had
done
him
no
good
;
as
hee
did
shortlie
after
perceiue
:
for
within
few
daies
after
,
it
was
his
happe
lying
vnder
a
pale
of
the
parke
néere
vnto
the
pallace
,
where
the
Duke
with
this
wicked
horselea●…h
was
walking
,
to
heare
the
talke
that
passed
betwixt
him
and
the
Duke
,
which
was
as
followeth
.
My
gratious
Lord
(
quoth
this
vngratious
lubber
)
the
many
fauours
where
with
your
high●…es
hath
bound
me
vnto
you
,
in
al
the
sernice
that
I
can
deuise
to
〈◊〉
you
,
will
not
suffer
〈◊〉
to
conceale
the
least
cause
that
I
knowe

bée
an

of
your
discontent
,
and
in
what
I
can
humbl●…e
to
aduise
your
fauour
in
the
preuenting
of
al
that
may
endanger
the
iust
weight
of
your
displeasure
.
The
Duke
better
acquainted
with
his
wit
then
his
conscience
,
minding
to
make
vse
of
the
one
,
〈◊〉
soeuer
he
should
finde
of
the
other
,
replied
vnto
him
with
th●…se
words
.
Good
Sperto
,
thy
carefull
regard
of
my
content
,
I
cannot
but
kindlie
thinke
of
;
and
thy
prouidence
in
preuenting
all

of
my
dislike
,
I
will
not

passe
vnrewarded
:
and
therefore
I
praie
thee
playnelie

thy

Signor
Sperto

began
thus
to

for

you
shall
sée
how
indifferentlie
I
will
deale

in

I

in

you

now
on
this
Moone
attendes
a

,
but
if
anie
one
shoulde
presume
past
his
place
to
step
within
the
circle
of
the
Moone
,
thinke
you
not
the

woulde
not
thrust
him
quite
out

I

Now
if
any

in

presume
further
then
your

to

into

were

not

Yes

and
shall
(
quothe
the
Duke

whatsoeuer
he
be
without
exception
:
Then
my
gratious
Lord
,
said
Sperto
,
you
know
,
you
haue
long
fauoured
,
and
by
your
fauour
aduanced
Rantifo
,
a
stranger
in
your
countrie
,
and
such
a
one
as
though
I
must
confesse
by
his
much
worthe
manie
waies
,
deserueth
no
little
honour
▪
yet
if
for
your
fauour
●…ustlie
extended
vnto
him
,
he
will
presume
to
wrong
your
kindnes
,
in
〈◊〉
at
your
Crowne
,
or
robbing
you
of
your
chiefe
comfort
,
I
leane
to
your

to
iudge
of
his
reward
.
The
Duke
marking
well
euerie
part
of
his
spéech
,
and
withall
●…ing
to
minde
the
open
shewe
of
her
fauour
in
taking
out
of
Rantifo
from
all
the
companie
,
both
of
friendes

strangers
,
to
leade
her
in
the
meas●…re
of
her
dance
,
thinking
well
both
vppon
the
man
and
the
matter
,
made
him
this
answeare
.
Signor
Sperto
,
I
sée
well
thy
watchfull
care
of
my
comforte
,
and
do
suspect
no
lesse
then
perhaps
thou
dost
better
perceiue
,
but
to
preuent
all
mishappe
,
and
giue
no
cause
of
offence
;
let
vs
ad●…
what
is
to
be
done
.
The
man
hath
serued
faithfullie
,
and
in
manie
good
seruices
hath
deserued
honourablie
,
our
friendes
in
a
manner
all
do
loue
him
,
I
heare
almost
no
man
speake
ill
of
him
,
and
if
our
daughter
affect
him
,
shall
we
therefore
hate
him
?
God
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
vertue
will
haue
honour
in
despight
of
fortune
,
and
loue
hath
caused
princes
to
fauour
verie
poore
people
,
I
speake
not
this
either
to
pardon
his
presumption
,
or
to
fauour
his
procéeding
,
for
I
will
deuise
in
what
I
can
,
to
remoue
him
farre
enough
from
my
daughter
,
howsoeuer
my selfe
shall
regard
him
.
But
let
me
haue
thy
aduise
how
so
to
worke
it
,
that
he
maie
rather
be
glad
of
our
countenance
,
then
mistrust
our
discontentment
.
Signor
Sperto
,
fearing
to
be
thought
malicious
,
and
yet
not
able
to
couer
the
●…llanie
of
his
humor
,
made
this
answeare
to
the
Duke
.
Maie
it
please
your

to

of
what
m●…le
〈◊〉

If

shoulde
fall
in

with
I
knowe
not
whome
,
nor
of

〈◊〉
a

it
cannot
bee
but
a
discomfort
to
your
heart
,
so
to
see
your
●…ewell
,
that
you
hould
of
the
highest
price
in
your
Crowne
,
to
be
set
in
so
base
golde
,
as
maie
perhaps
proue

and
if

yet
what
a

woulde
it
bréede
in

,
that

awaie

garland
of
your

〈◊〉
▪
yea
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
not
only
all
the
actions
of
your
noblest

would
lie
as
dead
,
or
not

of
,
while
the
Trumpe
of

would

sound
onlie
the
honour
of

;
and
so
in
processe
of
time
,
not
onelie
your
Court

countrie
woulde
bee
disgraced
▪
〈◊〉
agrieued
,
but
your
highnesse
shoulde
see
a
greatfall
of
your

〈◊〉
,
when
by
the
fresh
memorie
of
his

▪
all
former
honoures
woulde
be
forgotten
;
but
to
preuent
all
misfortune
.
Stay
there
a
little
(
quoth
the
Duke
)
and
let
mee
tell
〈◊〉
a
little
of
my
minde
:
my
daughter
,
is
but
a
part
of
my selfe
,
that
is
now
from
my selfe
;
in
affecting
the
vertuon●…
,
I
must
commend
her
disposition
,
and
in
fauouring
the
honorable
▪
I
cannot
mislike
her
discretion
;
and
that
he
is
honoured
by
me
,
hee
maie
the
better
be
graced
by
her
:
Now
,
if
a
stranger
deserue
w●…ll
it
maie
giue
an
example
to
our
Court
,
〈◊〉
to
barre
him
his
right
,
is
a
b●…ot
in
courtesie
:
shee
maie
like
though
not
loue
,
and
hee
serue
though
for
no
such
reward
.
Moreouer
,
what
he
is
we
know
not
,
and
therefore
let
vs
thinke
the
best
,
and
such
maie
be
his
worth
,
as
maie
be
worthie
our
regard
.
Fame
is
not
partiall
〈◊〉
sounding
the
honour
of
deserts
;
and
therfore
who
runneth
〈◊〉
,
let
him
winne
the
Bell
,
and
weare
the
Garland
▪
hee
hath
little
grace
in
himselfe
,
that
feareth
the
fortune
of
another
,
and
the
fresh
memorie
of
one
action
bringeth
in
the
honour
of
another
:
and
for
my selfe
,
while
I
liue
,
I
will
kéepe
my
sword
,
when
I
am
gone
let
my
sonne
keepe
my
scepter
.
For
Rantifo
,
I
finde
so
much
good
in
him
,
that
I
cannot
but
loue
him
;
and
yet
not
so
well
,
but
to
prefer
my
daughter
to
a
better
fortune
,
and
to
content
such
of
my
Court
as
maie
be
agrieued
at
him
,
let
me
heare
thy
aduise
for
the
remooue
of
him
both
from
our
Court
,
and
countrey
.
Signor
Sperto
biting
th●…
lippe
at
th●…se
speeches
,
and
yet
glad
to
heare
this
conclusion
,
made
the
Duke
this
answere
:
Maie
it
please
your
Maiesty
to
think
of
the
embassage
you
meane
to

to

of

,
touching
the
sum
of
〈◊〉
,
that
hee
hath
long
detained
from
you
,
and
the
disgratious
answere
that
he
latelie
sent
you
:
This
Gentleman
your
〈◊〉
knoweth

〈◊〉
〈◊〉

,
and
one
that
will
be
glad
to
receiue
such
honour
at
your
harmes
:
Nowe
if
it
maie
please
your
highnesse
;
his
returne
maie
be
at
your
pleasure
,
which
not

your

maie
haue
fauoure
at
your

The
Duke
Ordillo

you

〈◊〉
〈◊〉

be
otherwise
then

In

maie
take
exceptions

at
your
either
〈◊〉
his

good
deseruing

nor
disfauouring
his

that
your

maie
not
suspect
the
least
looking
into
her
affection

nor
Rantifo
imagine
his
seruice
in
anie
such
nature
suspected
,
but
in
being
so
graced
maie
holde
himselfe
wel
pleased
,
I
thinke
your
Highnesse
shall
not
doe
amisse
in
this
deuise
.
Signor
Sperto
(
quoth
the
Duke
)
I
will
not
flatter
thy
witte
,
though
I
will
loue
thy
counsaile
,
and
follow
thy
aduise
,
which
shall
he
knowne
onlie
to
our selues
:
To
morrow
we
will
grace
him
in
all
we
can
,
both
in
worde
and
countenance
,
so
that
hee
shall
mistrust
nothing
of
our
meaning
,
and
forth
with
we
will
〈◊〉
furnish
him
forth
in
this
embassage
:
and
so
Signor
Sperto
I
will
bidde
thee

I

refuse
it
,
made
him
this
humble
answere
:
My
Gratious
Lord●…
,
though
〈◊〉
of
your
owne
honour
,
proceede
so
much
goodnesse
,
a●…
〈◊〉
so
●…xtende
your
fauour
vpon
so
smal
desert
,
as
I
cannot
but
blush
to
confesse
〈◊〉
let
not
the
honour
of
your
fauour
towardes
me
,
be
a
cause
of
your
N●…bles
●…eartburning
against
me
●…for
though
my
studie
hath
beene
somewhat
in
the
languages
,
yet
hath
my
trauaile
béene
so
little
in
〈◊〉
so
courses
,
as
I
rather
feare
●…o
d●…eiue
your
expectation
,
th●…
i●…
discharge
the
desire
of
my
dutie
:
●…et
if
it
please
you
to
i●…ose
this
charge
vpon
me
,
though
it
were
with
the
losse
of
my
〈◊〉
I
would
thinke
it
well
laied
downe
in
your
seruice
.
Well
(
quoth
the
Duke
)
let
it
suffice
the●…
,
that
my
loue
vnto
thee
shall
put
off
all
causes
of
discontentment
,
that
ma●…e
be
in
this
seruice
;
if
I
fauour
thée
,
which
of
my
Court
,
that
will
not
befriend
thee
?
and
therefore
prepare
thy selfe
for
this
iourney
,
for
I
will
make
choise
of
no
other
:
and
thus
ending
his
speech
rose
vp
from
his
seate
,
and
walking
into
the
garden
m●…t
with
his
daughter
the
Princesse
Me●…illa
,
accompanied
with
diuers
Ladies
and
Gentlemen
of
the
Court
,
whom
saluting
very
gratiouslie
he
passed
by
them
,
and
taking
his
daughter
by
the
hand
walking
aside
with
her
into
an
open
gréene
walke
,
fell
into
this
talke
with
her
.
Merilla
,
my
loue
to
〈◊〉
I
knowe
thou
doubtest
not
,
and
my
care
of
thy
well
doing
is
not
the
least
charge
of
my
loue
,
and
the
effect
thereof
not
the
least
happinesse
of
my
life
:
thy
brother
▪
thou
knowest
is
trauailed
,
God
knoweth
whither
,
〈◊〉
●…hen
to
returne
,
if
God
blesse
him
not
the
better
:
now
if
the
perishe
either
in
the
seas
,
or
the
warres
,
what
comfort
haue
I
on
the
earth
?
but
in
thee
,
and
in
thy
well
doing
.
Thou
ar●…
now
of
yeares
to
make
choise
of
thy
happinesse
in
placing
thy
affection
,
and
is
there
none
in
our
Court
that
can
please
the●…
in
that
point●…
make
thy
choise
where
thou
wilt
,
I
will
leaue
thee
to
thy selfe
,
and
will
not
crosse
thee
in
thy
comfort
▪
onely
be
not
base
in
thy
affection
,
and
thou
shalt
be
gratious
in
thy
kindnesse
.
The
Ladie
(
as
it
should
seeme
)
hauing
had
some
priuat
conference
with
her
seruant
Rantifo
,
of
whome
she
had
some
noti●…
of
her
fathers
talke
with
Signor
Sperto
,
about
the
dispatch
of
him
from
the
Court
,
made
him
this
humble
answere
:
My
Gratious
father
,
your
carefull
loue
of
●…e
doth
so
farre
binde
me
to
you
,
besides
the
duetie
of
nature
,
that
if
I
should
not
be
obedient
to
your
will
▪
I
should
thinke
ill
of
mine
owne
;
and
to
bee
a
discomfort
to
your
kindnesse
,
I
wish
I
had
rather
neuer
béene
borne
;
for
my
brother
,
so
long
as
you
heare
no
ill
newes
,
hope
of
the
best
of
him
:
and
for
the
placing
of
my
affection
,
it
shall
be
onelie
▪
gouerned
by
your
fauour
.
But
I
am
glad
to
heare
you
giue
mee
warning
to
beware
of
basenesse
;
for
Signor
Sperto
would
haue
perswaded
me
not
long
since
,
that
I
could
not
bee
better
graced
then
in
gracing
the
vngracious
,
with
a
world
of
●…dle
wordes
spent
to
verie
little
purpose
:
for
indéede
father
,
his
wit
maie
be
full
of
cunning
,
but
I
feare
he
is
like
a
false
apple
,
rotten
at
the
heart
:
for
assure
your selfe
he
is
not
●…ound
to
you
in
loue
,
that
séekes
to
robbe
you
of
my
seruice
:
but
wheresoeuer
it
shall
please
your
Maiestie
to
command
my
content
;
in
the
heauens
and
your
honour
shall
be
the
direction
of
my
affection
:
thus
hauing
a
little
quitted
Signor
Spertocs
kindnesse
,
she
ended
her
spéech
.
When
the
Duke
in
some
kinde
of
discontentment
,
to
thinke
of
Iacke
an
Apes
his
moris
▪
dance
,
thus
replied
to
his
faire
daughter
:
Well
Merilla
,
regard
euerie
man
in
his
kinde
,
and
for
that
I
finde
him
fit
for
some
seruices
,
I
will
not
suddenlie
put
him
out
of
fauour
,
though
I
will
thinke
of
him
as
I
haue
cause
,
and
finde
a
time
to
vse
him
accordinglie
:
in
the
meane
time
laugh
at
his
follie
,
&
keepe
thy
affection
for
a
better
friend
,
I
will
a
●…le
leaue
thée
here
among
thy
kinde
friendes
,
to
sollace
thy selfe
in
this
garden
:
and
I
will
walke
a
little
about
my
parke
,
with
some
of
my
counfatle
.
So
will
I
leaue
him
a
while
gone
into
the
parke
,
till
his
returne
againe
,
into
the
pallace
,
and
I
will
tell
you
what
fell
out
with
the
Ladies
in
the
garden
.
There
were
thrée
young
gallantes
of
the
court
that
had
determined
to
trie
their
wits
to
la●…e
this
ladie
aboorde
for
her
loue
;
vpon
this
agreement
betwixt
them
that
he
that
woon
her
fauour
shoulde
commande
the
other
as
his
seruantes
,
and
so
euer
after
should
call
them
.
Whereupon
finding
now
a
conuenient
time
to
trie
the
fortune
of
their
aduentures
,
singling
themselues
one
from
the
other
▪
one
of
them
●…hinking
himself
not
the
worst
witted
,
began
thus
to
salute
her
.
Fa●…re
Princesse
how
well
to
entitle
your
worthines
I
know
not
,
but
if
my
vnworthines
may
haue
fauour
in
your
patience
,
my
seruice
should
bee
made
happie
in
your
emploiment
.
The
Ladie
not
making
anie
shewe
of
disdaine
,
with
a
modest
smile
made
him
this
answere
.
Truth
néedeth
no
eloquence
;
for
your
kinde
offer
of
your
seruice
,
I
wish
you
a
better
preferment
,
but
if
I
should
be
so
vaine
as
to
trust
you
,
wherein
would
you
giue
mee
leaue
to
commande
you
?
The
gentleman
with
this
sweet
seeming
speech
halfe
perswaded
of
nothing
lesse
then
her
fauour
,
with
all
humblenes
fell
into
protestations
so
far
of
his
affection
,
that
if
he
disobeied
her
command
,
or
not
fulfilled
her
request
,
let
him
die
with
his
ill
fortune
,
or
bee
disgraced
in
her
fauour
:
whereupon
with
great
thankes
she
made
him
this
answeare
.
Syr
,
for
that
finding
the
greatnes
of
your
good
wil
,
I
would
not
bee
thought
vnkinde
in
my
requit
all
,
marke
well
what
I
saie
vnto
you
.
You
shall
neither
drawe
your
purse
for
a
penny
,
your
sword
against
an
enimy
,
nor
your
foote
from
this
place
,
so
that
you
shall
be
neither
at
cost
,
in
feare
,
nor
danger
for
me
,
and
yet
performe
my
request
,
and
you
shall
bee
assured
of
my
fauour
.
The
gentleman
fearing
that
she
had
mocked
him
with
some
matter
of
small
importance
,
made
her
this
answere
.
Madame
though
by
the
slightnes
of
this
seruice
,
I
feare
the
weaknes
of
my
fortune
,
yet
expresse
your
commandement
,
and
consider
of
my
desert
:
for
be
it
hard
or
easie
,
I
will
either
die
or
do
it
.
Then
(
quoth
the
Princesse
)
without
further
talke
,
you
see
yonder
is
a
diall
vpon
the
wall
of
my
fathers
window
:
you
see
the
shadow
vpon
the
diall
,
stand
here
till
you
see
the
shadow
moue
,
and
then
call
me
to
the
sight
of
it
,
I
desire
no
more
for
your
seruice
.
The
poore
gentleman
there
bound
by
his
oth
to
performe
his
protestation
,
fell
to
stare
out
his
e●…es
,
and
nere
the
better
for
his
looking
:
whome
shee
had
no
sooner
left
in
that
poore
taking
,
but
she
was
set
vpon
by
the
second
,
whome
after
a
great
deale
of
idle
talke
to
little
purpose
,
shee
tooke
vp
in
this
manner
.
If
I
should
thinke
that
you
could
not
dissemble
,
I
should
thinke
you
lacked
wit
,
and
if
I
shoulde
trust
you
without
triall
,
you
might
condemne
me
of
follie
,
but
if
in
regard
of
your
protestations
I
should
make
proofe
of
your
affection
,
might
I
presume
of
your
performance
,
in
making
proofe
of
your
sufficiencie
.
The
poore
man
as
proude
of
his
hope
,
as
his
vnhappy
friend
,
would
refuse
nothing
,
make
no
exceptions
,
but
command
and
it
was
doone
,
or
let
it
cost
him
his
life
:
whereupon
to
abridge
the
tediousnes
of
their
discourse
,
the
put
him
to
this
péece
of
seruice
.
Sir
(
quoth
shee
)
you
see
this
Apple-tree
before
you
,
I
praie
you
watch
the
ripening
of
them
,
the
heate
of
the
Sun
I
heare
will
change
their
colour
,
and
fill
them
full
of
redde
streakes
,
I
praie
you
when
you
see
them
begin
to
change
coloure
call
me
,
that
I
maie
see
it
,
and
I
will
require
no
more
seruice
for
the
assurance
of
my
fauour
.
The
poore
gentleman
sworne
to
his
taske
,
tooke
him
to
his
worke
;
where
losse
of
his
labour
could
get
him
nothing
but
repentance
:
but
in
that
gazing
maze
he
had
not
stood
long
,
but
the
thirde
followed
his
fellowes
,
whome
after
much
néedles
talke
,
shée
put
likewise
to
this
seruice
.
Sir
(
quoth
shée
)
I
am
easilie
perswaded
that
vpon
easie
pointes
you
woulde
performe
an
easie
péece
of
seruice
,
but
had
I
neede
of
your
helpe
in
any
matter
of
difficultie
,
I
maie
perhaps
faile
of
your
performaunce
:
hee
poore
man
as
well
deceiued
as
the
rest
,
in
the
pride
of
his
opinion
,
making
the
worlde
but
a
walke
,
the
seaes
but
a
brooke
,
and
wonders
but
trifles
,
in
respect
of
that
which
he
would
do
for
her
,
receiued
this
commandement
for
his
emploiment
.
Sir
(
quoth
shée
)
you
see
here
this
tufte
of
grasse
,
watch
the
shooting
of
any
one
of
them
,
and
call
me
that
I
maie
see
the
growing
of
them
:
and
it
is
all
the
seruice
,
that
I
meane
to
put
you
to
for
all
the
fauour
that
I
can
afforde
you
.
The
gentleman
forced
either
to
falsifie
his
fayth
,
or
to
pr●…u●…
the
third
foole
,
tooke
him
to
the
ground
where
he
sate
downe
in
vaine
,
to
see
that
was
not
possible
.
But
while
they
were
thus
standing
either
in
muses
or
mazes
returned
the
Duke
into
the
garden
,
where
marueyling
to
beholde
those
gallantes
in
those
tunes
,
hauing
heard
the
cause
told
his
daughter
,
it
would
be
some
disgrace
to
her
greatnes
to
offer
such
discourtesies
,
as
to
charge
her
seruantes
with
impossibilities
▪
yet
smiling
at
their
follies
,
desiring
her
to
rolease
them
,
which
she
soone
granted
:
he
called
Rantifo
vnto
him
not
far
off
walking
with
a
gentleman
of
his
chamber
;
to
whome
being
come
before
him
,
being
disposed
to
be
merrie
with
him
,
tolde
him
of
his
danghters
handling
of
her
sutors
:
but
(
quoth
he
)
let
me
intreate
thee
not
to
make
report
of
this
qualitie
in
her
,
least
it
bee
a
hurt
to
her
great
happinesse
,
when
such
as
maie
be
worthie
her
fauour
,
maie
take
dislike
at
her
vnkindnesse
.
Rantifo
not
a
little
pleased
to
sée
her
so
put
off
her
gallant
suitors
,
and
yet
much
discomforted
in
conceit
of
his
departure
,
told
the
Duke
,
that
such
trials
of
her
wit
,
would
encrease
the
titles
of
her
honour
;
and
for
himselfe
,
he
would
not
wish
to
liue
,
but
to
honour
the
roialtie
of
his
house
:
which
the
Duke
séeming
to
take
verie
well
at
his
handdes
,
after
a
fewe
ordinarie
Courte
words
,
leauing
his
daughter
with
her
friends
and
attendants
,
in
the
garden
,
retired
himselfe
into
his
chamber
and
so
into
his
closet
:
where
I
will
leaue
him
for
a
while
,
at
his
study
,
and
his
daughter
in
the
garden
faine
into
some
talke
with
her
seruant
,
wherof
I
will
speake
hereafter
,
and
I
will
returne
to
tell
you
what
followed
of
Penillo
and
his
fortune
.
In
this
time
of
Penillo
his
being
vpon
the
sea
,
comming
from
the
Emperours
Court
,
he
met
with
a
shippe
going
for
Balino
the
chiefe
cittie
of
his
countrey
,
and
in
the
shippe
found
one
Mario
Doronte
,
the
Merchant
that
first
brought
ouer
Rantifo
,
the
Duke
Ordilloes
sonne
into
that
countrey
,
of
whom
,
making
the
shippe
a
while
to
attend
him
,
after
that
hee
had
enquired
of
him
of
the
health
of
the
Duke
Ordillo
,
and
his
faire
daughter
the
Princesse
his
mistris
,
writing
a
few
humble
lines
to
his
father
,
with
a
token
of
kindnesse
to
his
sister
,
giuing
somewhat
to
the
sa●…lers
,
&
like
wise
to
Mario
Doronte
making
himselfe
towards
the
Ilandes
of
Cotasi
,
left
them
to
the
heauens
blessing
.
This
Mario
Doronte
being
by
misfortunes
at
sea
decayed
,
and
hauing
some
summes
of
money
due
vnto
him
,
in
the
Ilances
of
Balino
,
with
his
wife
and
two
children
,
determining
to
leaue
his
owne
countrey
,
and
so
take
his
habitation
in
some
of
the
cities
of
Balino
,
put
to
sea
in
the
shippe
then
going
for
the
chiefe
citie
in
the
Ilandes
:
not
to
stand
long
vpon
néedlesse
pointes
,
the
winde
and
tide
serning
well
,
within
a
few
daies
they
arriued
at
the
Iland
,
in
a
hauen
néere
vnto
the
cittie
Dolno
,
néere
vnto
the
Court
of
the
Duke
Feronte
.
Where
they
had
not
lodged
manie
daies
,
but
the
decaied
Merchant
hauing
occasion
to
make
petition
to
the
Duke
,
for
meanes
to
come
by
his
mony
of
his
Cxeditours
,
taking
his
wife
and
children
with
him
,
as
well
for
comfort
of
their
companies
,
as
to
mooue
pitty
in
the
Duke
the
more
for
their
sakes
,
met
at
the
Court
gate
with
Rantifo
going
abroad
into
the
parke
with
his
mistris
the
young
Princesse
;
who
looking
well
vpon
the
olde
man
,
and
his
little
familie
,
after
a
fewe
questions
of
his
fortune
,
and
the
cause
of
his
comming
thither
,
tooke
his
petition
,
with
promise
not
onely
to
deliuer
it
to
her
father
,
but
in
what
her
power
coulde
doe
with
him
,
to
effect
the
spéede
of
his
suite
;
and
in
the
meane
time
for
his
reliefe
gaue
him
a
purse
with
two
hundreth
crownes
.
Rantifo
not
a
little
commending
this
gratious
bounty
in
the
young
Princesse
,
calling
to
minde
the
crueltie
of
his
owne
fortune
,
and
noting
the
miserie
of
his
;
not
willing
to
make
himselfe
knowne
vnto
him
,
gaue
him
yet
these
wordes
to
comfort
him
:
father
,
if
I
were
not
suddainly
to
depart
hence
into
the
Iland
from
whence
you
came
,
I
would
assure
thée
,
much
of
my
friendship
,
but
I
will
entreat
this
Ladie
in
mine
absence
to
followe
and
effect
your
comfort
:
which
she
willinglie
promised
,
and
after
happilie
effected
.
But
ere
I
go
anie
further
with
the
discourse
of
their
fortunes
,
I
will
leaue
them
for
a
while
,
and
returne
to
Penillo
,
the
Duke
Feronte
his
sonne
.
This
gallant
young
Prince
was
no
sooner
landed
at
the
coast
of
the
Ilandes
,
but
with
great
rosaltie
hee
was
attended
,
and
with
great
loie
welcomed
to
the
Court
,
where
,
how
his
nustris
reiosced
let
the
hearts
of
true
louers
conceius
,
for
I
can
not
expresse
:
but
let
it
suffice
that
,
though
both
their
contents
met
in
one
coniunction
,
yet
fortune
the
sworne
enemie
to
all
felicitie
,
fell
now
to
deuise
crosses
to
their
comforts
:
for
not
long
had
he
béene
there
making
merie
with
his
faire
mistris
,
but
the
Duke
his
father
hauing
by
the
decaied
Merchant
receiued
a
letter
of
his
sonnes
making
toward
those
Ilands
,
whither
he
was
forthwith
to
send
Rantifo
vpon
a
discontentiue
message
,
wrote
a
letter
in
all
post
to
his
sanne
for
his
spéedie
returne
into
his
countrey
:
vpon
the
sight
whereof
,
not
a
little
agrieued
to
leaue
the
Court
,
where
he
was
so
kindlie
entertained
,
and
especially
his
faire
mistris
the
young
Princesse
of
whom
he
was
so
déerely
beloued
,
and
yet
preferring
his
fathers
fauour
before
his
owne
pleasure
,
concealing
anie
cause
of
discontent
,
with
thankes
to
the
Duke
for
all
his
Roiall
kindnesse
,
and
secretlie
assuring
the
young
Princesse
of
his
kinde
,
and
constant
affection
towardes
her
,
tooke
his
leaue
of
the
whole
Court
,
and
returned
home
to
his
country
.
But
I
wil
leaue
him
vpon
his
tourny
homewards
for
a
while
,
and
returne
againe
to
Rantifo
,
who
was
sent
embassadour
to
his
owne
father
.
Rantifo
taking
leaue
of
the
Duke
his
master
,
and
the
faire
Princesse
his
mistris
,
was
now
put
to
sea
,
for
the
Ilandes
of
Cotasi
,
leauing
the
decaied
Merchants
suit
to
the
fauour
of
his
afore
said
mistris
:
but
ere
I
tell
you
anie
further
of
the
Merchant
,
and
his
suit
,
I
will
tell
you
what
became
of
Rantifo
,
and
his
fortune
.
Rantifo
being
now
come
to
the
Ilandes
,
and
so
to
the
Court
of
Ordillo
,
at
his
first
comming
was
honourably
entertained
,
but
after
the
deliuerie
of
his
message
,
not
so
kindlie
welcome
,
yet
whether
for
feare
of
a
further
mischiefe
,
or
hope
of
vnlooked
for
kindnes
,
all
discontentment
was
concealed
,
and
he
brought
vnto
the
Duke
,
who
setting
his
eie
well
vpon
him
,
began
in
himselfe
to
finde
some
what
in
his
aspect
that
did
so
much
content
him
,
that
his
embassage
did
not
so
dislike
him
,
but
his
presence
did
much
more
please
him
:
wherupon
he
gaue
commandement
to
haue
him
well
lodged
and
to
his
place
in
all
duties
entertained
.
But
Rantifo
after
that
he
had
deliuered
his
embassage
,
being
answered
that
the
Duke
desired
time
to
determine
of
his
answere
,
writ
home
to
his
master
of
the
Dukes
answere
to
his
demand
,
and
vpon
answere
that
he
should
stay
the
limits
of
his
delaie
,
he
tooke
his
lodging
as
néere
as
he
could
to
the
Court
,
where
he
might
sée
out
of
his
window
the
Ladie
Bilanta
his
sister
the
young
Princesse
,
walking
in
the
garden
of
a
Ladie
that
had
a
house
neere
adsoyning
to
the
Court
,
whose
doore
opening
into
the
garden
of
the
house
where
he
was
lodged
,
he
tooke
occasion
one
faire
euening
to
stand
in
the
doore
where
she
passed
by
,
and
noting
a
kinde
of
gratious
glaunce
toward
him
,
he
adventured
to
sa●…ute
her
with
this
kind
of
gréeting
:
Swéete
aire
,
sweete
flowers
,
and
so
swéete
a
creature
,
is
not
this
a
Paradise
if
there
be
anie
on
this
earth
?
Indéede
my
Lord
,
answered
the
Princesse
,
a
swéete
spirit
in
a
sweete
nature
,
can
finde
sweete
humour
,
but
I
praie
you
what
hath
mooued
you
to
this
sweete
kinde
of
salutation
?
Her
vnknowne
brother
,
not
minding
yet
to
be
knowne
,
replied
againe
,
Madame
,
your selfe
is
the
grace
of
all
the
good
that
I
speake
of
:
and
if
you
would
let
me
flatter
you
with
particulars
I
would
tell
you
as
much
as
you
alreadie
knowe
;
but
if
the
worde
of
a
stranger
maie
go
currant
in
your
Court
,
will
you
vouthsafe
my
seruice
the
fauour
of
your
entertainment
?
The
Ladie
smiling
at
his
plaine
kinde
of
loue
making
,
and
yet
loath
to
put
him
to
silence
with
a
sulle
in
kinde
of
answere
,
tolde
him
,
that
men
of
his
place
had
their
wits
otherwise
emploied
,
then
in
trying
the
weak
humours
of
weomen
▪
yet
quesh
she
,
my
Lorde
,
if
I
were
worthie
such
a
seruant
,
I
would
not
doe
dishonour
to
a
stranger
;
but
is
it
possible
that
your
Lordship
can
spende
thus
much
breath
,
but
to
passe
awaie
idle
time
?
Truely
Madam
,
answered
the
embassadour
,
though
I
desire
not
to
bee
thought
a
wanton
,
yet
I
assure
you
for
my
vnfained
affection
to
your
worthinesse
,
since
the
first
houre
that
I
saw
you
I
haue
not
left
to
thinke
of
you
,
and
am
so
glad
here
to
sée
you
,
that
wherein
my
seruice
mate
purchase
your
content
,
it
shall
not
be
slacke
in
your
commandement
.
My
Lorde
answered
the
Princesse
,
Cupid
hath
but
a
blinde
sight
,
and
hot
affections
are
soone
quenched
,
but
if
your
word
and
thought
agrée
,
you
maie
in
time
be
quited
in
your
kindnes
.
When
as
the
Lord
embassadour
was
about
to
replie
vnto
her
spéech
,
a
messenger
came
suddenlie
vnto
her
from
the
Duke
her
father
,
presentlie
to
come
to
him
,
whereupon
with
humble
thankes
for
her
kinde
fauour
they
brake
off
their
talke
for
that
time
,
she
going
to
the
Duke
,
and
he
backe
againe
into
his
lodging
,
where
I
will
●…raue
them
for
a
while
,
and
returne
againe
to
tell
you
what
fell
out
in
the
Court
of
Feronte
the
Duke
of
the
Ila●…ds
of
Balino
.
The
young
Princesse
gladde
that
this
decaied
Merchant
had
such
a
suite
to
her
father
,
tolde
him
that
if
vpon
●…he
dispatch
of
his
petition
,
and
receipt
of
his
money
,
hee
would
returne
into
his
country
,
and
conuaie
her
ouer
with
him
as
a
seruant
to
his
wife
,
she
would
effect
such
expedition
as
should
be
fullie
to
his
content
:
The
poore
man
hauing
receiued
such
bountifull
reliefe
at
her
handes
,
as
bound
him
much
to
her
seruice
,
putting
all
feare
aside
of
what
hurt
might
befall
him
,
if
it
were
descried
,
promised
her
to
doe
his
best
in
all
the
seruice
hee
could
deuise
her
:
whereupon
to
be
briefe
,
she
became
a
suter
to
her
father
for
the
Merchant
,
and
by
her
humble
importuning
his
comfort
,
gat
his
grant
dispatched
,
which
no
sooner
was
effected
,
but
with
all
the
spéede
that
might
be
,
carrying
crownes
enough
to
defray
all
charges
,
in
the
apparell
of
a
prentise
,
that
the
Merchant
had
got
for
the
purpose
,
finding
a
shippe
ready
to
put
to
sea
for
that
countrey
,
stole
awaie
in
a
night
tide
,
and
with
a
merrie
Gale
soone
gat
to
the
shore
that
they
made
for
.
But
nowe
will
I
leaue
to
talke
further
of
them
,
for
a
while
,
and
I
will
tell
you
a
fewe
wordes
of
the
occurrents
in
the
Court
of
Feronte
the
Duke
of
the
Ilands
of
Balino
.
The
young
Prince
being
now
returned
home
,
and
with
great
ioie
receiued
of
the
whole
Court
,
the
Duke
in
no
little
maruell
that
his
daughter
was
so
long
absent
,
sent
vnto
her
lodging
to
knowe
the
cause
of
her
staie
,
but
the
messenger
returning
with
no
bodie
there
,
and
now
fearing
that
his
strange
embassadour
had
stolne
awaie
his
faire
daughter
,
caused
present
search
to
be
made
for
her
in
all
his
prouince
;
but
hearing
of
no
word
of
her
,
grew
into
such
a
rage
,
as
not
able
to
haue
patience
to
heare
his
sonne
touching
the
Roialtie
of
his
entertainment
,
sware
presentlie
to
leuie
an
Armie
,
and
in
regard
of
his
indignitie
to
bee
reuenged
of
the
whole
countrey
:
and
with
this
resolution
went
forward
.
But
I
will
leaue
him
in
his
choler
nowe
bent
to
nothing
but
reuenge
,
and
I
will
tell
you
a
few
wordes
of
the
merchant
and
his
companie
.
The
decaied
Merchant
nowe
by
the
meanes
of
the
young
Princesse
hauing
made
a
happie
voiage
,
comming
on
shore
with
his
familie
,
and
this
new
page
or
rather
prentise
,
mette
by
great
happe
with
the
Lord
embassadour
that
was
sent
from
the
Duke
Feronte
,
in
a
discontentiue
message
,
walking
with
the
Ladie
Princesse
his
sister
,
and
an
attendant
or
two
of
hers
onelie
going
forth
of
a
Castle
of
the
Duke
her
fathers
néere
that
place
,
onlie
to
take
a
little
pleasure
in
séeing
the
comming
in
of
the
shippes
:
and
doing
reuerence
to
the
whole
troupe
the
young
Prineesse
called
the
Merchant
vnto
her
with
these
wordes
.
Alas
good
Mario
,
how
doest
thou
,
how
hast
thou
sped
with
thy

:
what
?
didst
thou
carrie
thy

and
children
with

,
how
daredst

to
aduenture
them
?
Truely
I
am
glad

art
come
home
safe
againe
with
them
,
I
knowe
thou
arte
poore
,
and
for

yet
not
my selfe
,
but
if
I

I
will
doe
thée
and
thy
kinde
wife
some
good
,
for
I
haue
knowne
yée

and
haue
had
manie
a
prettie
iewel
of

for
which
,
I
hope
one

:
Thine

pittied
,
and
shall
not
bee
forgotten
,
my
remembrance
maie

and
for

a

crownes
will

,
though
not
the
good
I
wish
thée
.
But
what
prettie
boy
is

thou
hast
with

?
The
merchant
with
teares
of
thankfull
kindnesse
receiuing
her
bounty
,
tolde
her
that
it
was
a
prettie
youth
of
the
Ilands
of
〈◊〉
,
〈◊〉
hauing
a
desire
to
sée
that
country
came
with
him
in
the

desiring
him
to
put
him
to
some
good
master
;
at
which
wo●…s
,
●…he
embassador
looking
stedfastly
vpon
him
,
&
remembring
his
●…stris
,
asked
of
the
Merchant
if
he
would
bestow
him
vpon
him
.
The
Merchant
knowing
the
Pages
minde
,
was
verie
well
content
with
his
demande
,
and
asking
the
Page
if
hee
woulde
make
choise
of
him
for
his
master
,
séemed
verie
willing
to
agr●…

,
when
the
Ladie
no
lesse
firing
her
eie
vpon
the
P●…ge
then
the
embassadour
,
and
no
lesse
affecting
him
then
hee
did
,
with
a
modest
countenance
made
this
speech
vnto
him
.
My
Lord
,
you

your
aboade
in
this
countrie
is
not
certaine
,
and
this
prettie
wagge
comming

countrie
,
or
to
learne
the
languages
,
if
he
should
returne
with

,
he
might
be
little
benefitted
by
his
trauaile

but
if

your

for
him
,
I
will

of

,
that
he
shall
not
repent
him
of
his
seruice
.
Madame
(
quoth
the
embassadour
)
if
I
should
deny
you
so
smal
a
request
,
hauing
so
great
an
interest
in
my
seruice
,
you
might
well
mistrust
me
in
a
matter
of
more
importance
,
if
I
shoulde
faile
you
in
this
.
The
page
vnknowne
to
anie
but
the
merchant
and
his
familie
,
who
had
sworne
secrecy
in
her
behalfe
,
hauing
no
time
to
meditate
what
to
doo
,
and
seeing
her
seruaunt
the
embassadour
,
now
as
it
were
in
loue
with
an
other
Ladie
,
was
content
to
accept
the
Ladies
kind
offer
,
and
so
leauing
the
merchant
well
recompensed
for
all
his
kindnesse
;
attended
them
to
the
Dukes
Castle
:
where
I
will
leaue
the
embassadoure
after
leaue
taken
of
his
mistris
the
young
Princesse
his
sister
,
yet
vnknowne
,
going
to
his
lodging
,
and
I
will
tell
you
a
little
of
the
Ladie
and
her
new
page
,
as
great
a
person
as
her selfe
.
The
Princesse
looking
of
tentimes
vppon
her
page
,
and
finding
in
his
feature
a
great
resemblance
of
her
loue
her
brother
,
willed
a
tailer
to
be
sent
for
,
whome
shee
commanded
against
the
next
morning
,
to
bring
her
a
péece
of
white
satten
,
of
which
should
be
made
a
sute
of
apparrell
for
the
page
,
and
so
commanding
the
boie
to
attende
her
vnto
her
chamber
,
shee
called
for
a
lute
,
which
,
hearing
of
him
vpon
demand
of
his
qualities
,
that
hee
had
some
little
skill
in
,
willed
him
to
make
her
a
little
musick
,
which
both
in
his
touch
,
and
voice
,
she
liked
so
well
,
that
she
began
excéedinglie
to
fauour
him
:
but
after
musick
donne
she
willed
the
boie
to
walke
into
the
garden
,
and
there
gather
such
flowers
,
or
such
fruites
,
as
best
might
like
him
,
and
in
the
morning
she
would
put
him
out
of
his
prentice
su●…e
,
which
hee
willinglie
did
,
and
hauing
gathered
a
handfull
of
roses
,
&
plucking
off
an
apple
called
a
Pome●…roie
;
hee
returned
in
to
his
mistris
the
Princesse
lodging
,
who
at
a
windowe
noting
his
solemne
kind
of
walking
,
and
the
fruit
that
he
gathered
,
after
his
comming
vp
called
him
into
her
chamber
.
But
first
let
me
tell
you
a
little
of
the
pages
spéech
that
he
had
to
himselfe
in
the
garden
,
per
he
went
vp
.
Oh
poore
Merilla
,
what
a
misery
art
thou
falne
into
?
left
thy
countrie
,
thy
father
,
thy
friendes
,
and
all
thy
home
fortune
,
to
followe
a
stranger
,
who
hath
betraied
thy
affection
,
and
abused
thy
fauour
:
women
are
said
to
haue
their
willes
wauer
as
the
wind
:
but
oh
false
Rantifo
,
no
sooner
come
to
the
Sea
,
but
thy
loue
is
gone
into
an
other
worlde
;
Rantifo
,
no
thou
art
Fantiro
,
the
Dukes
sonne
,
whatsoeuer
be
shy
conceit
to
conceale
it
from
thy
father
,
and
Bilanta
is
thy
sister
,
howsoeuer
thou
hast
made
her
thy
mistris
.
But
alas
,
what
will
become
of
thée
?
when
thy
mistris
shall
know
thée
to
be
thy selfe
,
how
will
shee
vse
thée
?
if
I
reueale
what
I
am
,
can
she
other
then
disdaine
th●…e
?
our
parents
being
scarce
friends
,
if
thou
reuealest
the
cause
of
thy
comming
,
will
shée
not
laugh
at
thy
foslie
,
&
make
it
knowne
to
the
worlde
?
if
she
do
not
,
it
is
more
of
the
heauens
blessing
,
then
thy
merite
,
and
of
her
good
nature
,
then
thy
wit
.
Saie
that
now
shee
doth
somewhat
like
of
thee
,
shee
maie
bee
then
out
of
loue
with
thee
:
and
yet
it
maie
be
that
for
her
loue
to
her
brother
she
maie
be
kind
to
me
,
and
at
my
humble
entreatie
,
conceale
my
follie
from
the
worlde
:
well
,
I
will
hope
the
best
,
till
I
sée
the
worst
▪
And
so
determining
to
make
her selfe
knowne
to
her
mistris
,
she
went
vp
into
her
lodging
,
where
being
come
to
the
princesse
she
fell
againe
to
her
musike
,
wherein
she
did
so
please
the
Princesse
,
that
she
thought
euerie
houre
a
yéere
till
she
had
some
priuate
conferance
with
him
,
for
which
she
stated
not
long
;
fo●…
after
that
she
had
commanded
all
her
attendants
out
of
the
chamber
but

willing
him
to
laie
downe
his
lute
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
aboore

him
in

My
prettie
wag
,
if
thy
〈◊〉
should
haue
occasion
to
employ
thee
in
a
secret
paece
of
seruice
,
wouldest
thou
so
late
it
vp
in
thy
bosome
,
that
no
man
shoulde
perceiue
it
?
Madame
(
quoth
the
page
)
for
my
secre●…e
,
I
holde
it
not
the
least
part
of
mine
honesty
,
and
therefore
make
you
no
doubt
of
it
,
but
if
my
sufficiencie
answeare
not
your
expect●…on
,
I
beseech
you
let
mee
entreate
your
pardon
,
assuring
your
honour
that
I
shall
hate
my selfe
in
slacking
my
dutie
in
your
seruice
:
but
good
Madame
be
not
angrie
if
my
good
will
bee
not
fortunate
;
for
my
heart
I
protest
,
you
haue
bound
it
to
you
,
in
the
faith
of
much
affection
.
The
Ladie
not
a
little
pleased
with
this
spéech
gaue
him
this
hind
answeare
.
Thy
affection
is
the
best
part
of
the
seruice
that
I
will
desire
at
thy
handes
,
for
to
tell
●…hee
trueth
,
I
neuer
same
the
face
,
but
one
that
I
liked
so
well
,
or
could
thinke
to
loue
but
thine
,
and
for
him
,
hee
was
a
noble
personage
,
son
and
heire
to
the
Duke
Feronte
of
the
Ilandes
of
Balino
,
who
is
latelie
gone
home
,
and
I
feare
will
neuer
come
againe
;
such
heartburning
is
growne
betwixt
our
parentes
,
vppon
the
paiment
of
a
little
monte
,
vngodlie
kind
of
drosse
,
the
cause
of
much
mischiefe
in
the
world
;
therefore
I
must
haue
patience
with
my
passion
,
for
euer
hoping
of
comfort
at
his
hands
:
but
for
his
sake
whose
feature
me
thinkes
I
beholde
in
thy
face
,
I
did
first
affect
thee
,
and
do
nowe
for
his
,
and
thine
owne
sake
I
must
confesse
entirelie
loue
thée
:
be
wise
therefore
I
charge
thée
,
for
in
reuealing
my
loue
it
maie
endanger
thy
life
,
&
in
concealing
thy
comfort
,
thou
shalt
finde
the
honour
of
thy
fortune
.
The
Page
with
a
great
sigh
at
his
brothers
absence
,
but
more
agrieued
at
the
discord
of
the
two
Dukes
,
with
her
eies
readie
to
shedde
teares
,
made
her
this
humble
answere
:
Good
Madam
,
shall
I
humblie
begge
this
fauour
at
your
hands
,
that
you
will
vouchsafe
to
keepe
secret
,
what
I
will
commit
vnto
the
onelie
care
of
your
honourable
kindnes
,
wherein
you
maie
either
saue
my
life
,
or
procure
my
death
?
Sweete
boie
,
quoth
the
Princesse
,
let
me
not
liue
,
but
I
will
doe
more
for
thy
loue
then
I
will
speake
of
:
and
for
my
secresie
,
suspect
nothing
that
maie
hurt
thee
,
and
speake
freelie
,
wherin
I
maie
do
thee
good
,
thinke
I
cannot
vse
thee
vnkindlie
.
Then
good
Madam
,
answered
the
Princesse
,
I
will
tell
you
a
strange
yet
true
tale
:
The
embassadour
that
seemeth
to
bee
your
louer
,
is
your
brother
,
sonne
to
the
Duke
your
father
,
his
name
is
Fantiro
,
sought
to
be
slaine
by
a
murtherer
hired
there
to
by
your
vncle
lately
dead
,
but
to
saue
his
life
sought
by
the
malice
of
your
vngodly
vncle
,
was
deliuered
vnto
the
decated
Merchant
Mario
,
who
brought
him
as
a
Page
to
our
Court
,
I
meane
the
Court
of
Feronte
,
the
Duke
of
Balino
my
father
;
whose
daughter
I
am
brought
ouer
in
this
habit
that
you
sée
,
onlie
to
come
to
the
sight
of
your
brother
my
onlie
beloued
Lord
on
this
earth
.
Your
brother
for
my
loue
,
was
by
a
wretch
in
our
Court
wrought
hither
to
this
embassage
,
but
such
was
his
cariage
in
our
Court
,
as
from
his
first
setling
foote
into
fauour
,
he
dailie
encreased
it
,
by
his
much
well
deseruing
;
so
that
there
was
no
man
of
good
spirit
,
but
loued
him
,
and
were
sorrie
to
part
with
him
,
and
for
my
affection
to
him
,
let
my
trauaile
witnesse
my
truth
:
Nowe
for
the
loue
that
in
nature
you
beare
your
brother
,
for
the
kindnes
that
you
maie
finde
requited
in
my
brother
,
for
the
honor
that
you
beare
vnto
loue
,
and
for
the
loue
that
you
beare
vnto
honour
;
let
me
humblie
beseech
you
to
conceale
my
follie
,
and
in
what
you
may
to
be
a
friend
to
my
affection
.
The
Princesse
with
a
modest
blush
smiling
at
her
discourse
,
made
her
this
kinde
and
gratious
answere
:
Sister
,
for
so
will
I
loue
thee
and
estéeme
thee
,
as
I
cannot
be
happy
in
any
thing
vnder
heauen
,
but
in
thy
brothers
loue
,
which
I
holde
as
déere
as
my
life
,
so
if
my
brother
doe
not
in
all
honourable
seruice
either
requite
or
deserue
this
thy
kindnesse
,
I
protest
to
renounce
him
for
my
brother
,
and
detest
him
as
mine
enemie
:
be
therefore
of
good
chéere
,
an●…
feare
no
euill
:
thy
fortune
shall
be
mine
,
my
bedde
,
my
table
,
my
purse
,
yea
and
my
heart
shall
be
all
at
thy
disposing
to
doe
thee
good
.
And
thus
will
I
leaue
them
togither
in
their
kinde
talke
,
and
I
will
tell
you
a
little
of
the
Duke
Feronte
,
and
his
sonne
.
The
Duke
Feronte
,
in
no
little
rage
to
thinke
of
the
losse
of
his
daughter
,
notwithstanding
that
he
had
heard
his
sonnes
report
of
his
Roiall
entertainment
,
followed
on
his
determination
,
for
his
intended
warre
against
the
Duke
Ordillo
,
where
his
embassadour
was
too
well
to
returne
,
and
his
faire
daughter
was
taken
loues
prisoner
,
and
therefore
calling
his
sonne
before
him
vsed
these
wordes
vnto
him
:
Penillo
,
I
haue
made
thee
acquainted
with
my
resolution
for
my
reuenge
of
the
wrong
,
that
I
haue
receiued
of
Ordillo
;
out
of
whose
countrey
,
I
will
fetch
my
fond
daughter
thy
vnhappie
sister
,
either
dead
or
aliue
,
and
therefore
prepare
thy selfe
to
put
off
all
conceit
of
his
kindnes
,
and
gaine
the
encrease
of
my
loue
,
by
the
honour
that
thou
shalt
get
vpon
mine
enemie
.
The
young
Prince
,
sorie
to
haue
such
cause
to
carrie
armes
against
the
father
of
his
faire
mistris
,
and
yet
vnwilling
to
be
disobedient
to
his
father
,
though
it
were
the
aduenture
of
his
death
,
did
humblie
frame
him
this
answere
:
My
Gratious
father
,
I
would
be
loath
to
disswade
you
from
your
setled
resolution
,
but
yet
let
me
tell
you
,
that
although
loue
hath
in
my
sister
wrought
a
follie
,
shall
the
malice
of
a
wicked
spirit
so
poison
your
eare
,
that
such
a
furie
possesse
your
heart
,
that
no
sparke
of
patience
can
haue
place
in
your
conceit
?
It
will
bee
thought
to
the
greatest
part
of
your
Court
,
yea
and
almost
to
your
whole
countrey
,
that
Signor
Sperto
hath
béene
the
kindler
of
all
this
fire
,
and
the
bréeder
of
all
these
warres
:
I
wonder
not
a
little
that
your
Grace
coulde
endure
to
heare
of
his
presumption
,
in
making
loue
to
my
sister
;
who
I
thinke
bee
rather
runne
into
another
countrey
to
trie
the
fortune
of
her
affection
,
then
to
liue
at
home
to
abide
the
vnfitting
suite
of
so
ilfauoured
a
creature
:
whom
,
but
that
he
hath
the
name
of
a
man
,
if
I
did
not
the
better
know
him
,
I
should
surelie
take
for
a
monster
.
But
if
I
maie
begge
so
much
fauour
of
your
Grace
,
as
to
grant
me
my
humble
suite
,
I
beséech
you
beginne
iustice
at
home
,
and
I
hope
we
shall
prosper
the
better
abroad
:
Let
Sperto
in
regard
of
his
malicious
practise
against
a
stranger
,
and
presumption
in
troubling
the
patience
of
your
daughter
,
be
openlie
called
before
you
,
reprehended
for
his
follie
,
and
banished
your
Court
for
his
offence
,
and
I
doubt
not
but
your
maiestie
shall
sée
the
venome
of
his
vile
nature
droppe
out
in
his
right
kinde
,
my
sister
honorablie
returned
to
your
good
fauour
,
and
your
warres
turne
to
such
a
peace
,
as
all
that
loue
you
shall
be
glad
of
.
I
speake
not
this
like
the
Prince
of
Pigmeies
that
should
be
affraid
of
Cranes
,
but
that
I
will
attend
you
in
your
warres
,
where
I
hope
an
honourable
triumph
will
be
better
then
a
bloudie
conquest
:
but
fall
what
will
,
I
will
not
liue
but
to
bee
obedient
to
your
loue
:
and
therefore
will
be
readie
,
when
it
shall
please
you
to
attende
you
.
The
Duke
not
a
little
noting
the
good
counsaile
of
his
discréet
sonne
,
willing
his
son
to
be
in
readines
,
against
a
daie
shortlie
after
appointed
him
,
caused
Sig.
Sperto
forthwith
to
be
brought
before
him
,
to
whome
with
a
sterne
countenance
he
vsed
this
spéech
:
Sperto
,
I
haue
long
giuen
eare
to
thine
vnsuspected
subtiltie
,
but
of
late
hauing
sounded
the
reach
of
thy
conceit
,
I
will
laie
open
thy
cunning
:
in
the
time
of
Rantifoes
being
in
our
Courte
,
thou
couldest
neuer
cease
to
ring
in
mine
eares
some
couse
of
dislike
in
him
,
which
I
tooke
well
at
thy
handes
,
in
regarde
of
thy
imagined
care
of
my
good
;
but
nowe
I
finde
the
ground
of
thy
vngratious
working
grewe
from
the
malicious
feare
in
thee
,
of
his
fauour
from
my
faire
daughter
,
whom
thy
vnworthie
selfe
wouldst
haue
bewitched
with
wicked
eloquence
,
let
me
tell
thée
,
for
that
I
haue
in
some
occasions
of
importance
,
made
good
vse
of
thy
seruice
,
thou
shall
not
be
vnregarded
,
for
I
will
make
thee
receiuer
of
my
customes
:
but
for
thy
saucines
with
my
swéete
daughter
,
driuen
out
of
our
countrey
by
thy
dogged
meanes
,
I
will
out
of
hande
,
haue
thee
made
an
●…unuch
;
and
so
commanding
one
of
his
Surgeons
,
to
take
him
to
his
charge
,
to
dismember
him
of
his
implements
,
fell
in
hande
presentlie
with
his
Counsaile
,
to
go
forwardes
with
his
resolution
for
his
warres
:
while
Sperto
with
the
conceit
of
his
miserie
,
crauing
leaue
of
the
Surgeon
to
spare
him
till
the
next
morning
,
when
his
griefe
being
put
a
little
ouer
,
he
should
with
the
more
strength
endure
his
torment
,
rather
desirous
to
go
to
hell
quicklie
,
then
to
hope
for
heauen
with
repentance
,
with
a
paire
of
his
owne
garters
hangde
himselfe
in
his
owne
chamber
.
But
leauing
thus
the
wicked
wretch
to
his
wofull
end
,
and
the
furious
Duke
in
his
inerorable
anger
,
procéeding
onwards
with
his
warres
:
I
will
tell
you
a
fewe
wordes
of
the
two
Ladies
Merilla
and
Bilanta
,
the
imagined
page
that
I
left
tog●…ther
in
their
chamber
within
a
Castle
of
the
Duke
Ordillo
.
The
Ladie
Bilanta
,
after
she
had
secretlie
conferred
with
the
Ladie
Merilla
,
touching
both
their
loues
,
minding
to
make
her selfe
merrie
with
a
prettie
conceit
,
after
that
they
had
past
a
night
or
two
in
priuat
talke
togither
how
to
bring
all
matters
about
to
their
best
contentment
,
sent
for
the
embassadour
her
brother
,
in
all
kindnesse
spéedelie
to
come
to
her
;
who
no
sooner
receiued
the
message
,
but
laying
all
businesse
apart
,
came
to
his
sister
,
whom
he
then
called
mistris
,
little
thinking
indeed
to
haue
found
his
true
beloued
,
and
louing
mistris
so
neere
.
But
being
come
into
her
lodging
and
well
entred
into
her
chamber
,
commanding
apart
all
her
attendantes
,
shee
thus
fell
into
talke
with
him
.
Seruant
,
though
perhaps
it
maie
séeme
immodestie
in
a
Uirgin
of
my
sort
to
giue
such
entertainment
to
a
stranger
of
what
sort
soeuer
he
maie
be
,
as
I
am
perswaded
your
honourable
kindnesse
will
deserue
;
yet
let
me
entreat
you
one
fauour
to
tell
me
without
dissembling
,
if
I
am
the
first
obiect
of
your
déerest
affection
,
or
whether
you
neuer
haue
had
anie
mistris
that
you
haue
helde
anie
especiall
account
of
,
and
hath
worthilie
had
the
promise
of
your
loue
?
Truely
Madame
answered
her
brother
,
as
hee
thought
vnknowne
to
her
,
I
must
confesse
I
had
a
mistris
whom
I
so
deerely
loued
,
and
so
duelie
serued
,
that
had
I
anie
possible
hope
to
enioie
the
fruit
of
her
fauour
,
I
shoulde
hate
my selfe
in
the
loue
of
anie
other
,
but
shee
being
so
farre
from
the
comfort
of
all
such
conceit
,
I
thinke
it
no
dishonour
to
my
loue
,
to
doe
seruice
to
the
vertue
that
I
finde
in
you
:
for
if
I
coulde
be
so
vile
as
to
thinke
you
a
base
thought
death
bee
the
rewarde
of
my
desire
,
and
to
presume
further
in
the
best
nature
of
honour
,
then
maie
stande
with
your
good
fauour
,
might
condemne
mee
of
follie
,
and
perhaps
ouerthrowe
my
fortune
,
but
in
such
good
termes
to
doe
you
seruice
as
maie
please
you
to
accept
,
I
thinke
it
a
duetie
in
Chiualrie
:
but
for
my
mistris
I
protest
had
you
euer
seene
and
knowne
her
,
you
would
haue
thought
as
much
good
of
her
as
I
do
,
and
wish
her
as
much
happinesse
as
I
want
.
The
Ladie
smiling
at
this
answere
,
would
néedes
know
her
name
,
and
whence
she
was
:
who
tolde
her
that
she
was
the
onlie
daughter
of
his
master
the
Duke
Feronte
,
her
name
was
Merilla
,
and
she
was
the
likest
vnto
the
Page
that
she
lately
had
from
the
Merchant
,
that
euer
she
sawe
:
Well
(
quoth
the
Lady
)
no
longer
my
Lord
embassadour
,
but
déere
brother
,
I
am
glad
to
sée
thee
heere
,
for
thou
art
my
brother
,
and
that
shall
my
father
knowe
ere
long
:
thy
mistris
is
more
worthie
of
honour
,
then
our
whole
countrey
and
thy
life
can
giue
her
:
and
with
that
worde
,
Page
quoth
she
to
the
Ladie
Merilla
,
I
praie
thée
take
thy
lute
and
play
and
sing
thy
wish
:
which
she
being
in
the
chamber
vnséene
by
meanes
of
a
curtein
of
Crimsin
damaske
drawn
betwixt
them
,
tooke
her
lute
and
plaied
a
note
to
a
dittie
,
which
she
sung
as
followeth
.
The
song
.
I
Would
thou
wert
not
faire
,
or
I
were
wise
:
I
would
thou
hadst
no
face
,
or
I
no
eies
:
I
would
thou
wert
not
wise
,
or
I
not
fond
,
Or
thou
not
free
,
or
I
not
so
in
bond
.
But
thou
art
faire
,
and
I
cannot
be
wise
:
Thy
sunlike
face
,
hath
blinded
both
mine
eies
;
Thou
canst
not
be
but
wise
,
nor
I
but
fond
,
Nor
thou
but
free
,
nor
I
but
still
in
bond
.
Yet
am
I
wise
to
thinke
that
thou
art
faire
,
Mine
eies
,
their
purenesse
in
thy
face
repaire
;
Nor
am
I
fond
,
that
doe
thy
wisedome
see
:
Nor
yet
in
bond
,
because
that
thou
art
free
.
Then
in
thy
beautie
onely
make
me
wise
,
And
in
thy
face
,
the
Graces
guide
mine
eies
:
And
in
thy
wisedome
onely
see
me
fond
:
And
in
thy
freedome
keepe
me
still
in
bond
.
So
shalt
thou
still
be
faire
,
and
I
be
wise
:
Thy
face
shine
still
vpon
my
cleered
eies
:
Thy
wisedome
onely
see
how
I
am
fond
:
Thy
freedome
onely
keepe
me
still
in
bond
.
So
would
I
thou
wert
faire
,
and
I
were
wise
:
So
would
thou
hadst
thy
face
,
and
I
mine
eies
:
So
would
I
thou
wert
wise
,
and
I
were
fond
:
And
thou
wert
free
,
and
I
were
still
in
bond
.
The
song
was
no
sooner
ended
but
Fantiro
(
for
so
wil
I
henceforth
giue
him
his
right
name
)
oftentimes
changing
coloure
,
as
one
in
many
passions
at
the
hearing
both
of
her
voice
,
which
was
so
like
his
mistris
the
Ladie
Princesse
Merilla
,
as
might
be
;
and
remembring
the
dittie
to
be
of
his
owne
compiling
,
and
that
in
secret
he
had
giuen
it
vnto
her
when
hee
first
perceiued
her
fauour
,
alter
he
had
commended
her
voice
,
as
he
was
about
to
speake
somewhat
of
his
passion
,
his
sister
vppon
the
sodeine
caused
the
curtein
to
bee
drawne
,
when
hee
might
see
in
a
riche
suite
of
her
apparrell
,
the
imagined
page
;
but
in
deede
his
mistris
standing
by
a
windowe
,
with
her
face
towards
him
:
when
his
sister
seeing
him
stande
as
one
amazed
,
vsed
this
spéech
vnto
him
.
Why
,
how
now
brother
?
doth
thy
heart
faile
thee
?
how
dost
thou
like
this
sight
?
thou
hast
I
knowe
often
heard
that
a
girle
will
turne
to
a
man
,
and
is
it
then
vnpossible
,
that
a
boie
maie
as
well
turne
to
a
woman
?
What
ailest
thou
,
dost
thou
feare
thou
seest
a
shadowe
and
not
the
true
body
of
thy
mistris
?
or
hast
thou
beene
false
vnto
her
in
thy
faith
?
and
therefore
art
feareful
of
the
heauens
displeasure
to
plague
thee
,
with
some
worse
spirit
,
then
thine
own
?
for
shame
go
to
her
,
bid
her
welcome
,
it
is
thy
mistris
,
I
do
not
dissemble
,
be
thankfull
for
her
kindnesse
,
and
deserue
her
loue
.
The
young
Prince
ashamed
anie
longer
to
stande
in
his
maze
,
séeing
his
mistris
in
little
better
tune
,
to
behold
her
seruant
,
●…
assured
louer
so
strange
vnto
her
,
as
if
he
either
had
not
,
or
would
not
haue
known
her
,
went
vnto
her
with
these
words
.
Madame
,
thinke
it
not
strange
to
see
me
in
this
perpleritie
of
minde
,
that
I
am
in
,
so
much
is
my
vnworthines
of
this
,
and
manie
your
honourable
fauoures
,
but
especiallie
this
triall
of
your
affection
hath
so
bounde
mee
to
your
seruice
,
as
if
the
aduenture
of
my
life
maie
make
proofe
of
my
loue
,
let
me
die
like
a
villaine
,
if
I
do
not
honour
your
vertue
.
The
sweet
Lady
with
modest
kindnes
as
much
as
she
could
concealing
the
greatnes
of
her
io●…e
,
as
well
in
beholding
her
loue
,
as
hearing
his
vndoubted
true
protestations
,
made
him
this
sweete
replie
.
My
deare
loue
,
for
so
dare
I
heere
tearme
you
,
when
I
had
no
knowledge
of
that
title
of
honour
,
that
now
I
heare
and
am
glad
to
vnderstand
dulie
belongeth
to
you
,
my
loue
was
in
the
same
nature
that
now
it
is
:
your
vertue
wonne
my
affection
,
and
your
kindnesse
continued
my
content
,
your
noble
cariage
assured
me
of
your
constancie
,
&
al
togither
haue
brought
mee
hither
to
receiue
my

,
not

the
loue
of
father

brother

&
friend
,
honour
,
wealth
,
ease
,
&
all
other

that
Balino
could

Seaes
,
in
the
poore
habite
of
a
Prentise
,
in

to

Nowe

The
young
Prince
with
as
much
adoo
as
could
be
to
abstaine
from
teares
of
kindnes
,
to
thinke
of
this
seldome
seene
faythfull
affection
in
so
faire
a
creature
,
made
her
this
comfortable
replie
.
Sweet
Princesse
,
in
whome
nature
vnder
the
heauens
hath
shewed
the
pride
of
her
perfections
:
how
shoulde
I
liue
to
counteruaile
the
least
part
of
this
your
exceeding
honorable
f●…uour
.
Had
I
ten
such
Dukedomes
,
I
would
lay
them
al
at
●…our
feete
,
and
were
I
the
greatest
Prince
on
the
earth
,
I
would
〈◊〉
gladde
to
bee
your
seruant
:
but
as
in
regarde
of
your
first
affection
,
I
am
bounde
to
honour
you
with
my
seruice
:
so
for
〈◊〉
your
last
honour
,
my
loue
I
vow
shall
euer
serue
you
:
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
laie
by
all
thought
of
strangers
:
this
land
is
youres
,
my
father
I
know
will
reioyce
in
you
,
my selfe
vnder
heauen
,
will
haue
no
●…oie
but
you
:
for
I
protest
without
dissembling
my
〈◊〉
ioie
is
wholie
in
you
.
And
thus
will
I
leaue
these
louers
with
the
other
Ladie
in
this
their
secret
hinde
conference
,
〈◊〉
I
will
tell
you
,
what
followed
of
Mario
the
decayed
Merchant
.
This
Mario
the
Merchant
,
hearing
newes
in
the
Citty
,
that
the
Duke
Feronte
was
comming
from
Balino
,
with
a
great
Armie
against
the
Duke
Ordillo
and
his
country
,
thought
good
no
longer
to
conceale
the
Embassadoure
his
sonne
from
him
,
and
therefore
comming
to
the
Court
,
and
hauing
obtained
meanes
to
haue
some
priuate
conference
with
the
Duke
,
in
fewe
wordes
deliuered
the
discourse
of
all
that
I
before
haue
recited
,
both
of
his
escape
from
the
intended
murther
of
his
malicious
Uncle
,
of
his
carrying
him
ouer
,
of
his
preferment
in
Court
by
him
,
and
of
the
cause
of
his
comming
thither
in
Ambassage
:
all
which
recounted
truly
as
it
was
,
with
the
comming
ouer
of
the
Ladie
Merilla
in
the
attire
of
a
Prentise
,
for
the
loue
of
his
son
Fantiro
,
so
pleased
the
Duke
,
that
he
not
onelie
kindly
gaue
him
thankes
,
but
richly
rewarded
him
for
his
good
newes
,
and
rosaltie
considered
all
his
honest
,
and
kinde
dealing
:
and
presentlie
caused
his
sonne
the
Ambassadour
to
be
sent
for
,
whom
he
welcomed
with
such
a
soie
,
as
such
a
father
might
such
a
son
.
Who
hauing
recounted
all
his
fortune
,
his
father
the
Duke
caused
his
sister
the
young
Princesse
to
be
sent
for
,
to
whom
he
not
onlie
gaue
thankes
for
her
carefull
,
and
kinde
vsage
of
the
young
Princesse
Merilla
,
but
charged
her
vpon
his
blessing
to
continue
all
kindnesse
,
that
might
giue
her
knowledge
of
the
●…oifull
loue
that
shee
should
finde
both
in
himselfe
,
his
Court
,
and
his
whole
countrey
:
and
that
for
a
fewe
daies
shee
should
seeme
to
conceale
it
from
her
,
that
he
knewe
of
her
being
in
his
Court
,
till
he
had
made
preparation
euerie
waie
fit
for
the
entertainment
of
her
presence
.
And
thus
will
I
leaue
the
Ladies
passing
their
time
together
in
priuate
conference
of
their
thiefest
comfortes
,
and
I
will
returne
to
the
Duke
Feronte
nowe
hauing
gotten
his
forces
togither
,
marching
with
his
whole
Armie
towardes
the
sea
,
minding
to
make
for
Cotasi
,
where
nothing
should
content
him
but
a
conquest
.
The
Duke
resolued
vpon
his
determination
,
either
to
leaue
his
bloud
,
or
take
his
reuenge
,
dispatching
awaie
a
post
with
letters
to
his
embassadour
for
the
defiance
of
his
termed
enemie
the
Duke
,
and
proclamation
of
warre
with
him
and
his
whole
countrey
,
calling
his
sonne
vnto
him
,
vpon
a
rocke
on
the
sea
side
in
the
middest
of
his
Armie
made
this
speech
vnto
his
people
.
The
long
iniurie
that
I
haue
borne
at
the
handes
of
my
vnfriendlie
neighbour
Ordillo
,
besides
the
debt
that
hee
oweth
me
,
and
neuer
intendeth
to
paie
me
,
togither
with
my
extreme
griefe
for
the
losse
of
my
onely
daughter
,
that
onelie
through
a
fonde
affection
carried
I
know
not
how
;
to
a
stranger
I
know
not
whom
,
co●…ueied
away
by
a
banbrout
,
or
decaied
merchant
,
if
I
maie
better
terme
him
into
that
vngratious
piece
of
ground
where
Ordillo
hath
his
gouernment
:
these
I
safe
with
manie
other
iust
causes
of
discontentment
conceiued
against
the
proude
Prince
and
his
stubborne
people
,
haue
caused
me
to
put
on
the
resolution
either
of
death
or
reuenge
,
which
shall
no
waie
ende
but
in
conquest
or
submission
;
as
manie
therefore
as
either
regarde
our
loue
,
or
haue
anie
hope
of
our
fauour
,
let
them
with
willing
heartes
followe
the
honour
of
my
resolution
,
protesting
that
whatsoeuer
he
bee
,
that
shall
in
the
least
shewe
of
feare
turne
his
backe
vnto
the
enemie
,
if
hee
were
as
déere
to
me
as
mine
owne
sonne
,
he
shall
die
in
the
place
where
I
finde
him
:
but
hee
that
shall
with
the
fortune
of
his
forwardnesse
,
bring
me
the
Duke
or
his
soune
either
dead
or
aliue
,
I
will
so
regard
and
reward
him
,
that
he
shall
leaue
honour
to
his
posteritie
:
the
winde
serueth
well
for
our
passage
,
and
we
shall
finde
them
perhaps
vnprouided
for
our
comming
,
so
the
easier
will
be
our
victorie
and
the
shorter
our
warres
,
if
not
the
sharper
our
fight
,
the
greater
will
be
our
honor
,
and
since
feare
is
the
badge
of
villanie
,
let
vs
auoide
the
shame
of
such
condition
and
as
manie
as
loue
either
our
crowne
or
countrey
,
holde
vp
their
handes
with
me
:
who
then
in
the
whole
campe
,
that
had
a
hand
,
but
he
would
holde
it
vp
?
Well
to
grow
towardes
an
ende
,
as
the
Prince
said
,
so
said
the
people
:
the
Duke
set
foote
aboord
,
and
all
the
Armie
followed
him
:
the
winde
serued
,
the
sa●…les
were
hoised
,
and
the
anchors
weied
,
and
awaie
they
went
where
I
will
leaue
them
for
a
while
,
and
returne
againe
to
Ordillo
the
Duke
of
Cotasi
and
his
sonne
,
Feronte
his
embassadour
.
The
post
hauing
béen
with
the
embassadour
as
he
thought
,
but
now
rather
an
enemie
then
a
friend
,
if
this
quarrell
should
go
forwarde
,
perceiuing
the
intent
of
the
Duke
his
late
master
,
rather
chusing
to
be
an
vnkinde
seruant
,
then
an
vnnaturall
sonne
,
wrote
vnto
him
,
that
the
case
was
altered
,
hee
had
nowe
chosen
an
other
master
,
whose
loue
hee
knewe
was
such
vnto
him
,
that
seruing
him
faithfullie
,
woulde
not
vse
him
vnkindlie
:
his
embassage
was
deliuered
,
and
nowe
this
must
bee
his
answere
,
as
in
kindnesse
hee
might
command
much
,
so
by
the
contrarie
as
little
;
his
comming
was
more
expected
then
feared
,
and
his
welcome
should
be
as
he
deserued
:
and
for
himselfe
,
if
his
fortune
were
to
his
hope
,
he
should
find
a
kinder
seruant
,
then
he
had
done
a
master
:
with
these
and
such
like
conclusions
,
dispatched
awaie
.
The
young
Prince
,
presentlie
went
to
his
father
the
Duke
Ordillo
,
with
whom
and
his
Counsaile
conferring
vpon
the
seruice
speedelie
to
bee
had
care
of
,
taking
order
by
vertue
of
his
Commission
,
to
leuie
a
great
Armie
,
as
well
to
encounter
the
enemie
,
as
in
diuerse
places
of
strength
to
stand
for
defence
,
if
anie
occasion
should
be
offered
,
being
secure
for
anie
feare
,
or
doubt
to
be
ouertaken
,
hearing
by
a
Pinnis
,
that
being
at
sea
deseried
the
fléete
so
farre
,
as
by
meanes
of
crosse
windes
,
and
ill
weather
,
they
could
not
in
fiue
daies
come
néere
the
shore
of
their
countrey
,
after
he
had
a
little
reposed
himselfe
,
after
his
trauaile
,
considering
the
great
discomfort
that
his
mistris
the
young
Princesse
might
take
vpon
the
rumour
of
these
warres
,
making
all
the
meanes
hee
could
to
haue
it
kept
from
her
hearing
,
tooke
a
conuenient
time
to
go
to
his
sister
,
with
whome
his
mistris
as
yet
remained
.
But
as
such
kinde
of
persons
most
inquisitiue
of
newes
are
not
without
their
intelligencers
,
so
fell
it
out
,
that
the
post
was
scarce
at
the
Court
,
but
his
message
was
knowne
to
the
young
Ladies
,
●…hose
priuate
conference
vpon
the
same
,
before
Fantiroes
comming
to
them
,
was
as
followeth
.
Merilla
considering
the
manie
sorrowes
that
were
now
like
to
fall
vpon
her
,
the
assurance
of
her
fathers
displeasure
,
the
doubt
of
her
brothers
loue
,
and
the
feare
of
the
young
Prince
her
seruantes
death
in
the
seruice
,
was
euen
so
appauled
,
that
(
following
the
humours
of
women
)
first
to
sigh
for
a
little
griefe
of
disobedience
in
nature
,
then
enfolding
her
armes
,
as
lamenting
the
doubted
losse
of
her
brothers
loue
,
and
last
of
all
,
wéeping
with
feare
to
loose
the
comfort
of
all
her
worldes
hope
,
in
her
déere
beloued
and
kinde
louing
Lorde
,
in
the
misfortune
of
the
warres
,
was
by
the
young
Princesse
her
seruants
sister
comforted
with
these
wordes
.
Sister
,
so
will
I
nowe
terme
thee
,
for
so
doe
I
holde
thee
,
and
so
doe
I
hope
to
haue
thee
,
and
so
will
I
euer
loue
shee
;
take
not
too
much
griefe
at
anything
,
that
either
feare
or
doubt
may
put
into
thy
head
,
let
this
comfort
thee
,
that
thou
art
not
alone
in
thy
miserie
:
if
thou
hast
left
a
father
,
thou
hast
found
a
friend
,
and
if
thou
hast
lost
a
brother
,
thou
hast
found
a
sister
,
choler
and
melancholie
gouernes
the
spirits
of
the
aged
,
but
kindnesse
and
mirth
should
be
the
humours
of
our
yeares
:
nature
biddes
you
loue
your
father
,
so
you
maie
though
you
do
not
liue
with
him
;
but
loue
biddes
you
liue
with
your
friende
,
which
you
can
not
if
you
be
from
him
;
and
let
me
tell
you
,
that
a●…
well
as
I
séem●…
to
beare
it
out
,
I
am
stoong
at
the
heart
as
well
as
you
.
I
loue
your
brother
as
deerely
as
I
can
deuise
,
but
for
his
affection
,
I
had
little
time
to
hope
of
,
and
too
little
time
to
en●…oie
.
Nowe
my
father
I
loue
,
as
you
doe
yours
,
but
your
brother
I
cannot
loue
as
you
doe
mine
,
for
I
cannot
enioie
his
presence
,
as
you
doe
my
brothers
:
you
feare
the
fortune
of
the
warres
,
and
I
both
fortune
and
the
wars
.
I
would
my
case
were
yours
or
as
yours
,
that
fortune
would
do
her
worst
,
so
I
had
but
my
loue
to
looke
on
:
be
therefore
content
,
put
off
this
mourning
,
this
warre
maie
bréede
a
blessed
peace
,
for
when
the
Princes
are
both
in
the
field
,
my
wits
shal
faile
me
,
but
I
wil
plot
such
a
piece
of
seruice
,
as
hath
neuer
been
heard
of
before
,
and
I
beleeue
once
executed
,
will
not
be
forgotten
in
hast
.
The
other
young
Princesse
much
comforted
to
haue
such
a
companion
in
her
crosses
,
and
that
the
heauens
did
fauour
her
affection
,
or
else
fortune
would
not
haue
bin
so
kind
to
her
in
her
aduentures
,
taking
a
little
hart
of
grace
,
loath
to
die
with
conceit
,
without
greater
cause
then
she
yet
had
,
for
though
her
head
was
much
troubled
with
imaginations
,
yet
nothing
came
so
néere
her
heart
,
but
a
looke
of
her
loue
would
put
it
quite
out
of
place
,
yet
with
a
little
kinde
of
heau●…nesse
made
her
this
answere
.
Good
Madame
,
if
the
miseries
were
far
greater
that
I
endure
,
then
I
hope
they
euer
will
be
,
yet
of
such
force
are
the
perswasions
that
you
haue
vsed
vnto
me
,
that
I
should
beare
them
with
such
patience
,
that
I
should
forget
much
of
the
paine
:
but
yet
so
manie
are
the
thoughtes
of
griefe
in
my
head
,
that
but
for
the
comfort
of
your
honourable
kindnesse
,
would
doe
me
but
a
little
good
in
my
heart
:
I
must
confesse
loue
is
the
life
of
the
heart
,
but
what
is
the
daie
that
comes
but
like
lightening
?
little
better
then
darke
night
.
You
cannot
mourne
so
much
for
the
lacke
of
your
hope
,
as
I
for
the
losse
of
my
happinesse
;
your
loue
maie
bee
forcible
for
the
time
,
but
it
is
not
of
so
long
continuance
as
mine
,
and
for
that
the
eie
sees
not
,
the
heart
grieues
not
;
you
feare
the
fortune
of
the
warres
,
and
I
wishe
for
nothing
but
peace
.
But
sister
,
since
you
will
haue
it
so
,
and
I
would
it
were
so
,
euerie
waie
that
you
wishe
,
till
the
warres
bee
determined
I
can
be
at
no
quiet
,
for
if
my
brother
die
,
you
loose
your
loue
,
if
your
brother
perish
,
what
ioie
haue
I
in
the
world
?
if
fortune
fauour
my
father
,
my
comfort
will
be
little
with
my
affection
,
and
if
your
father
haue
the
fielde
,
downe
goes
the
honour
of
my
house
:
so
that
I
can
no
waie
sée
how
it
can
go
so
well
,
but
wofull
will
bee
the
issue
of
what
fortune
soeuer
befall
:
but
good
Madam
,
if
there
be
anie
humour
in
your
heade
,
that
maie
giue
comfort
to
my
heart
,
I
beséech
you
acquaint
me
with
some
little
sparke
of
your
conceit
.
I
will
quoth
Merilla
her
sworne
sister
:
and
as
she
was
beginning
to
vtter
some
part
of
her
minde
,
her
brother
Fantiro
the
young
Prince
came
in
,
who
with
a
kinde
Congee
,
lacking
no
Grace
to
entertaine
time
with
such
Gratious
creatures
,
finding
them
in
alike
tunes
for
their
humours
,
some
what
too
néere
maidens
melancholie
,
hoping
to
remooue
it
with
a
Corpus
habeas
,
fell
aboord
with
them
in
this
manner
:
Ladies
all
,
faire
fortunes
befall
you
,
what
fowle
weather
doe
you
dreame
of
,
that
makes
you
droope
so
in
your
countenance
?
I
hope
sister
,
you
are
not
affraid
of
sparrow-blasting
,
and
for
my
swéete
mistris
,
I
would
I
knew
the
cause
of
her
discontent
,
I
would
soone
procure
her
comfort
.
The
Ladie
with
a
merrie
goe
sorrie
not
yet
hauing
fullie
acquainted
him
with
her
loue
to
Penillo
,
the
Duke
Feronte
his
sonne
,
nowe
comming
in
Armes
against
her
father
,
made
him
this
answere
:
Brother
,
my
sister
and
I
am
both
sicke
of
one
disease
,
I
would
we
might
both
alike
haue
remedies
:
but
these
wicked
warres
haue
put
vs
both
in
such
a
flight
,
that
till
they
be
at
a
point
,
we
are
not
like
to
be
at
rest
:
her
brother
as
déere
to
me
,
as
she
to
you
,
I
haue
no
cause
to
hope
euer
to
enfoie
,
so
manie
are
my
perswasions
thereto
,
you
are
not
yet
possessed
though
beloued
,
and
maie
bee
lost
though
neuer
enioied
,
so
our
crosse
carding
gets
nothing
but
sorrowe
,
our
heads
are
so
full
of
doubts
,
and
our
heartes
so
full
of
feares
,
I
speake
for
my
sister
as
my selfe
.
Well
answered
Fantiro
,
for
my
mistris
let
her
be
comforted
with
this
,
that
my
life
I
mate
léese
,
but
shee
my
loue
neuer
;
and
for
your
feares
and
doubtes
,
they
are
incident
to
your
natures
,
and
therefore
you
maie
the
better
awaie
with
them
.
But
déere
mistris
,
quoth
he
,
turning
to
Merilla

dismaied
at
anie

,
feare
nothing

the
praiers
of

I

would
fall
to
me
and
your

:
for
our
loues
and
your
praiers
cannot
but
prosper
togither
.
And
for
my
loue
thus
much
will
I
saie
to
satisfie
all
conceit
of
your
imagination
,
that
so
honourable
is
the
nature
of
my
affection
,
and
so
gratious
the
honor
of
your
vertue
,
that
I
should
hate
my selfe
,
if
I
should
offend
you
;
but
in
doing
you

bee
my

Time
giues
me

The

Prince
with
a
thankfull
Amen
to
their
prayer
,
tooke
his

of
them
both

returned
to

where
I

preparing
for
his
Armie

and
the
two
Ladies
in

parting
stakes
in
conceites

and
I
will
returne
to
Feronte
the
Duke
of
Balino
,
and
his
son
Penillo
,
who
with
a
great
Armie
were
in
sight
of
lande
,
but
for
some
politique
occasions
to
take
the
benefite
of
time
,
did
anker
all
nighte
in
the
Road
before
the
Harbour
;
at
which
time
the
young
Prince
desi●…ous
,
by
some
resolute
aduenture
,
to
gayne
some
especiall
honour
,
humbly
be
sought
the
Duke
his
father
,
that
hee
would
vouchsafe
him
leaue
,
to
haue
the
leading
of
the
Uanguarde
,
the
first
daie
of
seruice
,
and
the
first
night
to
haue
the
selting
of
the
watch
:
both
which
in
regarde
,
as
well
of
his
earnest
suit
,
as
for
the
skill
that
he
sawe
in
him
,
and
the
honour
that
he
had
gotten
in
the
Emperours
wars
against
the
Turke
,
was
granted
him
.
But
after
a
counsayle
helde
by
the
Duke
himselfe
,
his
Sonne
,

all
his
honourable
followers
,
for
the
pitching
of
his
Campe
,

determination
of
his
seruice

taking
some
little
repose
,
till
the
first
breaking
of
the
morning
;
as
soone
as
they
had
light
to
serue
their
turns
for
landing
,
they
made
all
the
hast
they
coulde
a
shore
:
where
I
will
leaue
them
for
a
while
pitching
their
Tents
,
and
prouiding
for
their
wars
,
and
I
will
tell
you
a
worde
or
two
of
the
two
Ladies

I
left

Bilanta
hauing

began
thus
to
talk

Princesse

Sister

I

The
Ladie
amazed
at
her
manner
of
spéech

yet
knowing
the
nature
of
her
loue
,
made
her
this
answeare
:
Saie

for
I

I

our

▪
what
you

I

if

I

Then
quoth
Bilanta

ten
to

,
but
Penillo
will
be
the
formost
man
in
the
fiel●…
,
and
perhaps
to
striue
for
honour
,
maie
step
vpon
a
stone
of

where

hee

My

and
my

are
I
am
sure
in
their
Tent
▪
before
whom
euerie
man
must
come
that
will
seeke
preser●…
in
this
péece
of
seruice
.
Now
let
vs
plaie
the
gallantes
〈◊〉
Armour
,
and
furnishe
our selues
with
Armour
,
sworde
,
and
Pike
,
and
let
vs
with
our
burgonettes
close
couering
our
faces
,
as
strangers
vnknowne
,
make
suit
to
the
Duke
my
father
and
my
brother
,
to
haue
leaue
before
the
battel
,
to
do
some
p●…e
of
seruice
in
his
honour
:
and
saie
that
we
are
young
Knightes
that
will
not
be
knowne
till
our
actions
be
performed
,
but
that
we
come
from
two
Ladies
(
I
meane
our selues
)
who
were
sent
by
them
,
with
this
chaine
of
Pear●…e
to
gratifie
the

,
and
this
Iewell
my

the
better
to
obtaine
leaue
for

of

Nowe
if
we
get
leaue
as
I
doubt
not
it
maie
be
,
we
shall
be
happier
then
we
looke
for

Good

(
quoth
Merilla
)
agreed
,
I
am
for

:
if
I
〈◊〉
aduenture
the

shall
I
feare
anie

No

Then
sister
(

and
being

to

of

Larum
of

Generals
performe
some
such
resolute
piece
of

It

The
Princesse
Merilla
smiling
at
her
inuention
,
and
hauing
past
her
promise
to
followe
her
in
her
enterprise
,
was
as
good
as
her
worde
,
went
with
her
into
a
priuate
chamber
with
her
sister
Bilanta
,
where
they
fell
to
conferre
with
a
secret
friende
,
for
the
better
effecting
of
their
intent
,
where
I
will
leaue
them
like
Amazones
,
fitting
their
armours
,
to
plaie
the
par●…es
of
madde
people
,
and
I
will
tell
you
a
word
or
two
of
the
Duke
Ordillo
,
and
his
sonne
Fantiro
.
The
Duke
making
preparation
for
the
next
daie
to
answere
the
enemie
both
horse
and
foote
,
and
after
good
order
taken
for
euerie
thing
according
to
his
desire
,
calling
his
sonne
vnto
him
,
with
certaine
of
his
Lordes
,
and
principall
men
of
Armes
,
vsed
this
roiall
speech
vnto
him
:
My
good
friendes
and
followers
,
the
matter
that
we
haue
now
in
hande
,
is
of
no
little
moment
,
when
the
liues
of
our selues
,
wiues
and
children
,
our
libertie
,
our
landes
and
goods
,
and
our
honour
,
and
reputation
for
euer
in
this
worlde
,
standeth
vpon
the
issue
of
one
daies
seruice
,
wherein
the
triumphant
shall
bee
blessed
,
and
the
vanquished
in
a
manner
vtterlie
confounded
:
our
enemie
is
angrie
,
and
f●…erce
,
now
it
becommeth
vs
to
be
patient
and
valiant
:
for
nothing
more
daunteth
furie
,
then
the
banishment
of
feare
,
which
in
a
fielde
is
commonlie
the
cause
of
the
ouerthrow
:
Rashnes
maie
be
hurtfull
,
but
cowardise
is
the
shame
of
reason
Let
vs
therefore
put
on
resolution
,
to
be
readie
vpon
the
first
summon
,
to
answere
the
enemie
:
ours
is
the
better
quarrell
,
hee
would
haue
that
he
hath
no
néede
of
,
and
we
cannot
spare
that
he
will
commande
;
now
our
pouertie
hath
made
his
pride
to
swell
to
such
a
height
,
as
I
hope
will
come
down
:
for
if
euerie
one
be
of
my
minde
,
he
shall
haue
a
sharper
breakfast
,
then
he
had
a
supper
:
which
if
hee
disgest
not
the
better
,
maie
happe
sticke
in
his
stomacke
till
his
heart
ake
:
our
strengthes
are
well
fortified
,
but
shall
we
looke
on
him
a
farre
off
?
and
be
afraid
to
take
him
by
the
hand
?
no
,
I
am
olde
,
and
first
to
thee
my
sonne
I
speake
,
&
so
to
all
my
friends
,
I
will
neuer
returne
to
my
Court
,
without
great
contentment
to
my
countrey
:
and
he
that
loueth
me
or
himselfe
let
him
laie
downe
his
life
with
me
in
this
seruice
:
I
will
leade
you
,
follow
me
that
will
,
and
let
him
die
quoth
his
sonne
,
that
will
not
:
to
which
praier
was
such
a
generall
Amen
,
that
with
the
cheerefulnesse
of
euerie
one
,
it
séemed
they
rather
thought
of
a
banquet
then
a
battaile
.
But
not
long
they
were
in
this
resolute
consultation
,
but
the
two
Ladies
,
before
spoken
of
nowe
armed
at
all
pointes
like
souldiers
,
were
brought
before
the
Duke
and
his
sonne
,
who
after
the
reading
of
the
letter
,
and
deliuerie
of
the
chaine
of
pearle
,
with
much
adoe
obtained
〈◊〉
●…t
suite
,
without
the
companie
of
anie
more
then
themselues
;
to
trie
their
fortune
in
gaining
honour
vpon
the
enemie
,
who
leauing
the
Duke
with
his
sonne
in
their
tentes
,
in
the
dim
night
marched
towardes
the
enemie
,
and
vpon
the
sodaine
fearing
to
be
descried
by
some
soo●…te
,
ambus●…aded
themselues
,
in
such
sort
,
that
they
would
be
sure
of
their
purpose
,
ere
they
would
put
their
honours
in
aduenture
,
where
they
had
not
long
rested
,
till
they
mette
with
the
happinesse
of
their
whole
hope
:
but
I
will
leaue
them
there
close
waiting
for
their
fortune
,
and
tell
you
a
fewe
wordes
of
Penillo
the
young
Prince
,
sonne
to
the
Duke
Feronte
.
This
roiall
spirited
youth
,
euer
spurring
for
the
best
fortune
,
and
hauing
that
night
obtained
of
the
Duke
his
father
,
the
charge
of
the
watch
for
that
night
,
and
the
leading
of
the
vanguarde
the
next
morning
;
looking
rounde
about
him
,
and
seeing
no
cause
of
feare
or
doubt
of
enemie
,
the
moone
though
dimlie
shining
,
yet
giuing
so
much
light
,
as
might
descrie
a
lesse
shadow
then
a
souldiers
,
with
his
trun●…enin
his
hand
,
and
his
rapier
at
his
side
,
walking
as
it
were
carelesse
of
all
fortune
,
thinking
none
within
the
hearing
,
tell
thus
to
talke
to
himselfe
:
Oh
poore
Penillo
,
the
most
vnfortunate
man
liuing
,
to
come
with
honour
from
the
seruice
vpon
the
Turke
,
and
nowe
to
make
a
quarrell
,
with
alas
too
weake
a
Christian
,
what
shall
I
doe
?
I
must
followe
my
father
,
to
fall
out
with
my
friende
:
Ordillo
vsed
me
like
himselfe
,
and
shall
I
be
vngratefull
,
in
the
greatest
vnkindnesse
?
but
Bilanta
my
loue
,
what
will
she
thinke
of
my
faith
,
to
she
we
such
fruites
of
my
affection
?
Oh
I
am
not
my selfe
,
that
cannot
be
hers
,
and
yet
in
my
heart
I
am
hers
,
howe
harde
soeuer
be
my
happe
:
but
I
must
not
be
vnnaturall
,
and
I
would
not
be
vnkinde
:
what
is
to
be
done
?
Oh
heauens
doe
that
which
I
cannot
deuise
,
loue
is
diuine
,
and
as
the
stature
is
of
my
affection
,
so
let
me
prosper
in
my
fortune
.
Which
word
was
scarcelie
out
,
when
the
two
vnknowne
souldiers
laied
hold
of
him
,
and
carried
him
prisoner
to
the
Duke
Ordillo
:
before
whom
〈◊〉
they
had
brought
him
,
the
Duke
had
them
for
rewarde
of
their
seruice
,
aske
anie
thing
whatsoeuer
his
court
or
countrey
could
affoorde
them
,
with
protestation
vpon
the
sword
of
honour
,
not
to
denie
,
nor
to
delaie
them
:
but
before
the
dem●…
of
the
souldiers
for
their
promised
rewarde
,
passed
these
fewe
words
betwixt
the
two
Princes
.
Fantiro
the
yoong
Prince
seeing
the
sonne
of
his
enimie
prisoner
,
the
more
to
abate
as
he
thought
,
the
pride
of
his
spirit
,
entertained
him
with
this
welcome
.
Your
fortune
is
like
your
quarrell
,
no
better
then
I
wish
,
and
as
it
beginneth
,
so
I
hope
will
bee
the
ende
:
disgrace
at
the
first
,
thinke
what
will
bee
the
last
.
Well
(
quoth
Penillo
)
I
am
nowe
not
my selfe
,
had
not
fortune
thus
throwne
me
into
thy
handes
,
thou
wouldest
neuer
haue
dared
to
haue
vttered
one
of
these
wordes
;
and
had
I
my
libertie
,
I
would
make
thee
shake
for
this
presumption
.
Who
,
●…e
(
quoth
the
Prince
Fantiro
?
)
Thou
art
deceyued
,
thou
shalt
see
howe
little
account
I
make
of
thy
too
great
minde
,
go
take
thy
libertie
;
see
what
thy
second
fortune
can
do
vppon
mee
.
but
hadst
thou
me
at
this
aduantage
,
what
wouldest
thou
do
to
me
?
Use
thee●…
(
quoth
the
Prince
)
nowe
prisoner
,
as
thou
dost
mee
,
giue
thee
thy
libertie
for
charitie
.
At
which
wordes
the
young
Prince
Fantiro
smiling
at
the
greatnesse
of
so
roiall
a
spirite
,
with
better
wordes
perswaded
him
to
patience
.
When
the
two
Ladies
taking
off
their
Burgonets
,
descrying
themselues
to
the
great
admiration
of
the
Duke
,
the
young
Prince
,
and
the
prisoner
,
and
all
the
beholders
neere
them
,
demaunded
their
rewardes
in
this
manner
.
Merilla
by
her
tra●…e
through
the
Seaes
▪
losse
of
her
fathers
loue
,
her
brother
,
friendes
,
and
countrie
,
desired
to
haue
for
her
rewarde
the
young
Prince
Fantiro
,
whome
the
Duke
with
no
little
gladnes
was
content
to
yee●…
vnto
.
Bilanta
in
the
aduenture
of
her
life
,
in
the
atchieuing
of
this
honor
,
pleaded
a
blessing
of
the
heauens
for
the
enioying
of
her
loue
,
which
was
the
prisoner
.
The
other
young
Prince
,
whoseeing
his
fortune
no
worse
then
to
fall
into
such
faire
hands
,
was
nothing
vnwilling
to
haue
the
Dukes
worde
performed
.
But
I
will
leaue
them
awhile
determining
of
the
euent
of
these
fortunes
,
and
I
will
speake
a
little
of
the
duke
Feronte
and
his
passions
.
Nowe
the
morning
following
the
duke
expecting
his
sons
comming
to
his
Tent
,
to
take
the
charge
of
the
vanguarde
for
that
daye
in
the
seruice
intended
,
but
neyther
seeing
,
nor
hearing
of
him
soo
long
that
he
grewe
into
some
feare
,
least
some
mishap
or
other
was
come
vnto
him
,
fell
at
last
into
this
speech
with
himself
.
Oh
Feronte
,
vnder
what
planet
wert
thou
born
?
or
what
offence
hast
thou
committed
against
the
heauens
,
to
haue
these
heauie
fortunes
befall
thee
,
in
thy
aged
yéeres
,
thy
onelie
daughter
as
full
of
vertue
,
as
honour
could
wish
,
to
bee
stolne
from
thy
Court
,
by
a
stranger
,
and
perhaps
thine
enimie
:
thy
sonne
more
deare
to
thee
then
thy selfe
,
hauing
wonne
honour
in
the
seruice
of
the
Emperour
,
to
loose
it
in
the
gouerment
of
a
meane
Prince
:
naie
more
dost
thou
not
rather
doubt
of
his
deathe
,
then
hope
of
his
life
,
hauing
no
notice
what
maye
become
of
him
.
Oh
too
much
valour
I
feare
hath
made
thee
too
forwarde
:
Is
it
possible
that
thou
liuest
,
if
thou
hast
lighted
into
the
hands
of
thine
enimies
?
No
,
thy
spirite
is
so
great
,
that
it
will
not
let
thée
yéelde
but
to
death
;
and
if
thou
dost
liue
howe
canst
thou
hope
of
anie
thing
,
but
〈◊〉
▪
knowing
the
condition
of
my
comming
?
Well
,
all
thinges
are
at
the
heauens
disposing
,
to
whome
I
will
referre
the
hope
of
my
comfort
:
I●…
thou
liuest
Sonne
,
I
will
redeeme
thée
;
and
if
thou
diest
,
I
will
follow
thée
.
And
thus
in
extreame
passion
,
determyning
the
aduenture
of
his
owne
life
,
to
take
reuenge
of
his
sons
fortun●…
,
vpon
the
sodaine
can●…e
a
Herauld
of
Armes
from
Ordillo
the
