THE
SECOND
PART
OF
Cloria
and
Narcissus
.
AS
the
Princesse
Clorias
thoughts
now
were
reasonably
well
setled
,
concerning
the
safety
of
Narcissus
,
in
regard
of
the
messengers
relation
,
so
Roxana
with
more
alacrity
and
cheerfulnesse
,
summoned
a
a
new
Dedalus
,
to
make
an
end
of
those
passages
belonging
to
the
Island
of
Crete
;
whereupon
one
day
meeting
in
the
same
walke
that
had
entertained
the
Princesse
,
upon
her
first
arrivall
in
the
Country
,
they
both
seated
themselves
together
under
a
tree
,
artificially
made
into
an
Arbour
of
pleasure
,
that
had
its
full
prospect
toward
the
sea
;
whilst
he
gave
her
this
further
accompt
:
Madam
said
he
,
as
for
the
interests
which
I
formerly
mentioned
unto
you
not
many
dayes
since
,
you
may
be
pleased
to
know
,
that
as
Evarchus
our
King
in
his
Warres
with
the
Senate
of
Lydia
,
must
be
forced
upon
all
occasions
,
to
court
any
assistance
whatsoever
for
his
best
advantage
,
so
of
the
other
side
doe
the
Cretans
resolve
to
make
use
of
their
present
power
,
to
gaine
benefits
to
themselves
,
and
party
in
any
thing
they
can
procure
,
either
from
their
Prince
or
any
other
:
to
this
purpose
,
after
the
agreement
that
I
told
you
of
,
which
I
made
with
the
Natives
of
the
Country
,
(
however
many
of
the
most
rigid
sort
,
would
not
at
all
come
within
any
manner
of
communication
,
whereby
to
be
subject
to
the
Lydian
power
,
thereunto
incouraged
as
't
is
supposed
by
a
messenger
from
Delphos
,
that
neither
understands
the
Islands
interest
or
the
peoples
good
)
they
designed
Commissioners
to
be
sent
to
Philadelphae
,
where
the
King
then
remained
,
to
Treat
upon
such
conditions
,
as
they
conceived
most
necessary
for
their
commodity
and
security
:
Thus
arriving
at
court
,
in
a
short
time
they
were
not
onely
admitted
to
kisse
the
Kings
hands
,
but
withall
permitted
to
present
their
Petitions
and
requests
;
for
this
ceremony
(
and
so
I
may
well
call
it
,
since
it
produced
but
small
effects
,
to
the
advantage
of
any
party
)
there
was
appointed
a
great
Hall
in
the
City
of
Philadelpha
,
into
which
place
the
messengers
were
brought
with
some
State
,
as
soone
as
the
King
was
seated
in
his
Throne
,
because
they
should
not
complaine
of
the
want
of
any
circumstance
,
that
belonged
to
the
solemne
entertainement
of
Ambassadours
of
other
Nations
,
to
make
them
the
willinger
to
comply
towards
the
assistance
desired
:
After
they
had
beene
in
this
manner
received
,
as
also
with
good
language
from
the
Kings
own
mouth
cherished
,
they
presented
a
paper
that
contained
these
peremptory
demands
:
First
they
desired
to
have
,
not
onely
the
free
exercise
of
their
religion
through
the
whole
Island
,
notwithstanding
the
Lydian
lawes
to
the
contrary
according
to
the
rights
and
customes
of
Delphos
,
but
withall
to
enjoy
the
use
of
the
best
Temples
,
alone
appropriated
to
themselves
,
with
all
the
rents
and
priviledges
that
of
old
at
any
time
belonged
unto
them
:
Secondly
,
they
expected
an
absolute
concession
from
his
Majesty
,
that
no
governours
whatsoever
of
any
forraigne
Nation
,
should
be
appointed
over
them
in
Creet
or
in
any
Fort
or
Island
belonging
to
the
same
;
besides
they
refused
to
admit
of
those
of
the
very
Country
it selfe
,
unlesse
they
were
confirmed
and
approved
of
by
the
gentrall
councell
,
which
they
had
established
to
manage
&
odered
all
their
affairs
both
in
peace
and
Warre
:
And
lastly
they
expected
,
(
as
the
writing
which
they
had
delivered
the
King
exprest
)
an
absolute
restoration
of
all
those
lands
to
the
true
owners
,
that
had
beene
taken
from
their
possession
,
by
reason
of
any
former
pretended
rebellion
,
and
given
to
the
Myssians
or
Lydians
,
either
by
the
old
Queene
of
Lydia
,
or
Evarchus
father
:
The
King
,
as
I
was
informed
after
he
had
read
these
propositions
,
seemed
to
the
outward
view
of
the
assembly
,
extreamely
troubled
in
his
apprehensions
,
as
if
he
had
been
exceedingly
deceived
in
his
expectation
,
concerning
the
good
nature
and
reality
of
our
country-men
:
however
,
notwithstanding
he
was
by
this
meanes
sufficiently
inflamed
in
his
thoughts
,
in
regard
of
these
proceedings
;
(
not
onely
in
some
sort
disdaining
to
be
thus
handled
by
his
Subjects
in
his
necessities
,
but
being
also
with
some
reason
suspicious
of
their
intentions
,
as
fearing
that
they
aymed
to
become
Masters
of
the
whole
Island
,
and
so
by
consequence
to
be
possessors
of
most
of
the
Lands
of
his
best
friends
,
who
were
actually
imployed
now
with
him
in
his
Warres
)
yet
conceiving
that
he
was
not
at
the
instant
,
in
a
capacity
to
shew
much
discontent
to
any
party
,
that
could
either
good
or
hurt
him
in
his
present
differences
with
the
Senate
,
he
gave
their
commissioners
at
leastwise
faire
words
in
the
generall
,
promising
speedily
to
send
particular
messengers
of
his
own
into
Creet
,
not
onely
more
knowingly
to
Treat
with
them
concerning
their
demands
;
but
withall
,
if
it
were
possible
,
to
conclude
with
them
concerning
his
own
desires
,
which
he
conceived
would
be
for
both
their
advantages
,
against
the
common
enemy
,
that
had
an
intention
to
destroy
either
:
in
this
manner
they
were
dismist
into
their
owne
Country
,
partly
pleased
,
and
a
great
deale
more
unsatisfied
,
in
regard
no
more
life
remained
from
their
imployment
,
then
the
expectation
of
the
comming
of
the
Kings
officers
:
But
in
the
interim
whilst
these
messengers
were
look't
for
,
both
the
Kingdome
of
Syria
and
the
Country
of
Aegypt
put
in
for
their
severall
interests
,
as
well
concerning
the
government
it selfe
of
the
Island
,
as
to
be
supplyed
from
hence
,
with
Souldiers
in
their
Warres
,
one
against
another
;
the
State
of
Syria
went
onely
upon
the
score
of
Evarchus
right
and
Titles
,
though
Sorastros
challenged
their
affections
in
his
service
,
by
an
ancient
Tye
as
he
said
they
owed
the
Aegyptian
Nation
:
neither
as
I
told
you
formerly
,
was
the
Arch
-
Flamin
of
Delphos
backward
in
maintaining
to
the
uttermost
of
his
power
(
by
the
industry
of
some
instruments
he
imployed
)
his
owne
jurisdiction
above
either
;
as
pretending
the
best
right
to
the
same
,
by
reason
of
those
agreements
that
had
been
made
with
the
Kings
of
Lydia
,
who
first
conquered
this
Island
.
These
attempts
I
must
say
,
extreamely
divided
the
inhabitants
both
in
their
actions
and
opinions
:
for
as
the
more
moderate
sort
of
people
(
especially
those
that
had
any
correspondency
with
the
Lydians
,
either
by
extraction
or
commerce
)
were
willing
enough
to
continue
the
old
government
,
and
retaine
both
their
lawes
and
customes
they
had
formerly
used
,
so
the
violenter
part
of
the
Natives
,
that
had
time
out
of
minde
contracted
a
certaine
kinde
of
barbarisme
in
their
manners
and
dispositions
,
would
heare
of
no
agreement
,
but
what
was
prescribed
them
by
a
few
commanders
,
that
were
sent
from
the
Aegyptian
Warres
,
who
seemed
onely
to
comply
with
the
religion
of
Delphos
for
their
owne
ends
:
The
people
I
may
affirme
with
some
confidence
,
were
so
far
transported
,
&
infatuated
with
this
spightfull
ambition
(
their
governours
in
the
interim
,
supposing
they
should
be
made
petty
Princes
in
command
,
amongst
the
more
ignorant
sort
of
Natives
)
that
they
did
not
onely
decline
violently
all
manner
of
reasonable
accords
,
but
even
were
perswaded
to
hate
with
an
exact
spleene
and
malice
,
all
their
owne
country
men
,
friends
and
kindred
,
that
had
any
manner
of
correspondency
,
or
almost
the
least
communication
with
those
of
the
Lydian
race
and
interest
:
In
the
Interim
the
Senate
of
Lydia
,
finding
this
violence
and
distractions
amongst
us
,
resolved
to
put
many
of
the
strong
Forts
of
the
Country
(
which
from
the
beginning
of
the
troubles
,
they
had
kept
in
their
possession
)
absolutely
into
the
hands
of
the
Myssians
,
the
better
to
avoid
the
expence
;
and
inconveniency
of
the
Warre
in
their
owne
particulars
,
having
as
they
thought
enough
to
doe
with
their
King
in
in
Lydia
;
and
the
rather
for
that
they
knew
,
that
as
Myssia
was
most
proper
,
to
send
Souldiers
of
their
owne
Nation
into
the
Island
of
Creet
,
whereby
to
contend
with
the
inhabitants
,
so
was
there
such
an
inveterate
spleene
and
hatred
between
the
Natives
of
both
Countreys
,
not
onely
in
regard
of
their
possessions
,
but
their
religion
,
that
no
reconciliation
was
at
any
time
to
be
feared
:
besides
the
Myssians
with
others
of
Lydia
of
their
faction
and
interests
,
supposed
the
old
Cretans
owed
them
a
secret
revenge
,
for
having
injuriously
outed
them
of
their
lands
and
estates
,
in
the
time
of
the
late
King
Evarchus
father
.
These
Transactions
I
say
,
filled
the
whole
country
a
new
with
bloud
and
slaughters
;
and
the
more
confused
it
proved
;
(
and
so
consequently
the
more
horrid
)
in
regard
that
for
the
most
part
,
we
fought
dividedly
upon
the
generall
score
of
three
interests
:
sometimes
two
against
one
,
&
then
againe
each
for
it selfe
,
as
often
as
any
opposition
was
found
,
which
not
seldome
hapned
,
in
regard
of
the
many
jealousies
and
suspitions
,
rising
daily
out
of
the
variety
of
apprehensions
by
reason
of
frequent
accidents
:
so
that
in
a
short
time
,
almost
in
every
place
the
Townes
were
fired
,
the
people
destroyed
,
and
the
countrey
depopulated
;
being
no
safety
in
any
place
,
or
scarce
the
least
meanes
of
subsistance
out
of
Armies
,
unlesse
it
were
under
the
walls
,
and
protection
of
some
few
garrisons
,
that
secured
a
kind
of
small
circuit
,
for
necessary
provisions
,
to
maintain
themselves
and
the
inhabitants
of
their
jurisdiction
:
but
the
King
at
last
receiving
from
me
and
others
intelligence
of
these
lamentable
proceedings
,
in
the
Island
of
Creet
(
as
truly
in
a
manner
it
was
past
all
examples
,
since
the
intention
of
all
sides
,
was
not
alone
to
contend
about
disputable
rights
,
occasioned
by
some
former
oppression
,
but
even
to
extirpate
not
onely
whole
families
,
but
the
very
remembrance
of
the
Nation
it selfe
,
that
should
have
the
unhappinesse
to
be
overcome
by
the
other
)
gave
order
to
me
if
it
were
possible
to
reconcile
these
bloudy
differences
and
horrid
contentions
,
with
all
the
speed
I
could
,
especially
amongst
those
of
his
own
party
,
neither
was
he
determintd
to
exclude
out
of
this
number
the
old
Cretans
themselves
,
however
depending
upon
other
interests
,
onely
in
regard
they
seemed
by
their
declarations
formerly
in
words
to
stand
for
his
Title
and
authority
,
against
the
proceedings
of
the
Myssians
,
though
publickly
,
they
contended
violently
with
his
Forces
in
the
field
:
'T
is
true
I
cannot
deny
but
in
some
things
they
had
reason
enough
for
their
jealousies
,
the
King
very
often
being
constrained
,
to
goe
even
from
his
own
resolutions
,
to
give
satisfaction
to
those
Councels
that
were
continually
about
his
person
;
who
perswaded
him
,
he
lost
the
love
of
his
people
in
Lydia
,
by
seeming
in
any
kind
to
favour
or
countenance
the
Cretans
in
their
demands
,
who
as
they
pretended
were
enemies
to
their
generall
established
religion
;
Of
the
other
side
the
Natives
were
againe
by
much
too
covetous
and
mistrustfull
not
onely
to
desire
violently
other
mens
possessions
and
estates
from
them
,
but
so
entirely
to
doubt
the
Kings
performance
of
his
promises
,
when
as
they
knew
he
did
but
endeavour
for
his
better
advantage
,
to
contract
privately
with
them
in
most
particulars
,
in
such
matters
as
appertained
to
the
Temple
of
Delphos
,
for
giving
as
I
said
too
generall
a
distast
,
to
those
of
his
owne
party
,
within
the
Kingdome
of
Lydia
.
But
to
be
short
,
it
was
not
very
long
,
before
the
King
sent
a
most
intimate
councellor
of
his
owne
into
the
Island
of
Creet
,
as
well
to
informe
me
particularly
of
his
pleasure
by
word
of
mouth
,
as
also
to
joyne
himselfe
with
me
and
others
in
commission
for
the
better
and
speedier
effecting
of
his
designes
:
presently
as
soone
as
hee
arrived
,
we
sent
out
our
summons
to
the
whole
Countrey
in
the
generall
,
either
to
meet
themselves
,
or
to
appoint
Deputies
for
each
division
in
the
Island
,
to
attend
the
Kings
orders
and
direction
upon
a
certaine
day
at
Pergame
,
not
onely
to
heare
what
should
be
propounded
in
their
Princes
behalfe
,
for
their
future
peace
and
advantage
,
but
also
we
our selves
would
be
ready
to
heare
what
the
people
would
demand
,
to
their
further
satisfaction
,
whereby
their
enemies
,
the
Myssians
,
might
be
opposed
in
their
intentions
;
who
endeavoured
not
onely
to
beat
downe
all
Kingly
authority
in
the
Island
,
but
to
become
absolute
Lords
,
over
all
the
inhabitants
ancient
liberties
:
I
must
tell
you
,
whilst
we
expected
a
joyfull
issue
of
these
purposes
,
we
understood
another
great
Lord
of
Lydia
,
was
newly
arrived
with
certaine
directions
as
was
pretended
from
the
King
,
independent
to
that
power
was
granted
us
,
whereby
as
we
were
informed
,
onely
himselfe
was
impowred
underhand
,
to
deale
more
intimately
with
the
inhabitants
concerning
matters
of
religion
:
as
this
something
startled
our
expectation
having
no
such
notice
from
the
King
,
so
did
we
resolve
to
send
for
the
party
upon
our
authority
,
who
upon
his
appearing
,
neither
obeying
our
commands
,
nor
giving
us
the
satisfaction
was
desired
,
we
at
that
very
instant
restrained
his
person
,
untill
the
Kings
pleasure
in
that
particular
(
as
we
said
)
should
be
publickly
knowne
:
but
whether
these
proceedings
of
ours
(
which
however
we
esteemed
for
the
best
)
or
that
the
Natives
in
truth
were
otherwise
setled
in
their
resolutions
,
hindred
the
successe
,
when
the
day
came
according
to
the
appointment
for
this
assembly
to
meet
,
there
appeared
none
at
all
of
the
ancient
inhabitants
of
the
Country
,
so
that
upon
some
conclusion
of
a
few
things
between
us
and
the
rest
of
the
Cretans
,
who
were
not
altogether
so
spightfull
against
the
Lydian
customes
as
the
others
,
we
for
the
present
dissolved
any
further
Treaty
,
which
in
a
manner
is
as
much
as
I
can
say
of
our
present
state
and
affaires
,
●ntill
I
shall
be
better
instructed
,
either
by
the
Natives
inclinations
,
or
concerning
the
Kings
fortunes
and
successe
;
it
not
being
yet
a
month
since
the
intended
Treaty
was
broake
up
:
Roxana
as
she
had
beene
very
attentive
to
all
Dedalus
discourse
,
for
that
shee
was
extreamely
desirous
to
informe
her selfe
in
what
particulars
she
could
,
concerning
the
passages
of
the
Island
,
so
when
he
had
absolutely
made
an
end
of
what
he
would
say
,
she
used
these
words
unto
him
,
truly
my
Lord
,
said
she
,
I
must
needs
confesse
,
this
seemes
to
my
imagination
to
be
a
most
unfortunate
Country
in
the
generall
,
if
not
to
be
threatned
by
some
desperate
fate
from
the
heavens
,
to
its
destruction
:
however
of
the
other
side
,
it
seems
something
doubtfull
as
yet
to
my
apprehension
in
what
things
the
Natives
are
so
much
to
blame
according
to
many
mens
thoughts
,
since
it
is
but
reasonable
,
as
the
King
is
to
expect
from
them
their
fidelity
and
assistance
,
so
they
should
in
some
sort
,
be
assured
in
their
religion
and
possessions
;
especially
in
a
conjuncture
of
times
when
there
are
so
many
enemies
of
all
parts
that
conspire
their
ruine
;
not
onely
in
respect
of
the
Myssians
that
are
in
open
hostility
against
them
,
but
in
regard
also
of
those
that
attend
about
Evarchus
person
at
the
Court
;
who
are
no
way
inclinable
as
you
have
already
intimated
to
favour
their
proceedings
or
interest
.
Truly
Madam
answered
Dedalus
,
if
there
were
no
more
in
it
then
those
generals
you
mention
,
there
might
be
much
said
in
their
behalfes
,
but
being
pleased
to
admit
so
farre
of
a
tedious
discour●●
,
that
I
may
a
little
take
apart
the
particulars
of
their
demands
,
I
make
no
question
but
you
will
easily
perceive
,
that
as
they
were
unreasonable
,
to
exact
from
the
Kings
necessities
such
conditions
,
so
was
it
unpossible
for
him
to
grant
them
their
desires
,
without
endangering
in
a
manner
the
whole
frame
of
his
affairs
,
both
in
Lydia
and
Creet
it selfe
.
Dedalus
finding
,
that
Roxana
was
most
willing
to
heare
all
his
arguments
for
her
better
satisfaction
,
he
began
thus
to
dispute
:
First
,
said
he
for
their
propositions
mentioned
,
not
onely
to
have
a
free
liberty
to
exercise
their
owne
Countrey
rights
,
in
the
worship
of
the
gods
,
according
to
the
use
of
Delphos
,
but
to
have
most
of
the
chiefe
Temples
,
belonging
to
the
Island
delivered
into
their
hands
,
with
all
the
rents
and
revenues
belonging
unto
them
,
it
cannot
but
evidently
appeare
to
all
knowing
judgements
,
what
a
distraction
it
would
soone
have
made
in
Creet
,
when
as
in
many
places
most
of
the
inhabitants
themselves
,
are
contrary
in
their
opinions
to
those
principles
,
whereupon
would
follow
a
most
desperate
confusion
amongst
all
sorts
of
people
;
when
such
should
be
of
a
suddaine
,
debarred
of
the
usuall
place
of
their
sacrificing
to
the
gods
,
by
those
that
formerly
were
subject
to
their
lawes
and
customes
;
and
much
more
strange
and
distastfull
it
would
be
,
to
have
the
maintenance
of
all
their
Priests
and
Flamins
(
being
for
the
most
part
Lydians
by
birth
)
taken
from
them
,
and
they
turned
with
their
whole
families
into
the
world
without
any
substance
at
all
,
after
so
long
a
time
of
possession
and
settlement
:
besides
it
is
very
well
knowne
,
many
of
the
Noblemen
and
Gentry
of
the
Country
it
selfe
,
upon
whose
fidelity
and
power
the
Kings
present
affaires
depended
,
were
actually
vested
in
a
great
part
of
those
Titles
and
rents
(
in
a
manner
beyond
any
remembrance
)
either
by
gift
or
purchase
:
who
no
doubt
upon
such
a
disadvantagable
change
,
meerly
out
of
spleene
and
distaste
,
would
have
quickly
turned
their
endeavours
and
affections
,
to
the
countenancing
absolutely
of
the
Myssians
proceedings
,
against
Evarchus
their
Prince
:
In
the
next
place
whereas
they
demanded
,
that
either
no
strange
governours
should
be
appointed
over
any
part
of
the
Island
,
but
meerly
Natives
,
or
at
leastwise
such
as
should
be
approved
by
the
generall
councell
instituted
by
themselves
,
I
pray
consider
but
with
indifference
,
which
I
know
you
doe
,
what
an
extraordinary
(
and
I
may
say
)
a
most
preposterous
inconveniency
,
it
would
have
brought
upon
the
Kings
designes
,
not
onely
by
reason
of
those
contemptible
opinions
,
it
would
have
created
in
all
mens
minds
concerning
his
actions
and
want
of
spirit
,
but
also
have
given
so
generall
a
distast
to
all
his
Subjects
of
best
quality
in
both
Kingdomes
,
that
the
effects
must
needs
have
beene
of
a
most
dangerous
consequence
,
when
as
the
principall
men
of
honour
should
be
absolutely
outed
,
both
of
their
present
command
or
future
expectation
,
to
give
way
to
the
advancement
of
such
people
,
that
neither
knew
well
how
to
governe
when
they
should
be
imployed
,
or
the
King
himselfe
could
be
at
all
certaine
of
their
fidelitie
,
when
they
were
in
office
;
as
well
in
regard
of
the
fantasticall
inconstancies
of
their
own
natures
and
dispositions
;
as
also
in
respect
of
their
severall
interests
depending
upon
other
Nations
.
And
last
of
all
,
whereas
it
is
desired
,
that
all
those
lands
be
againe
restored
to
the
ancient
Natives
of
the
Island
,
which
had
beene
at
any
time
forfeited
,
for
what
pretended
rebellion
soever
,
either
in
the
raigne
of
the
father
of
Evarchus
,
or
the
old
Queene
of
Lydia
,
and
so
consequently
in
the
possession
of
any
Lydians
or
Myssians
,
would
have
proved
as
dangerous
an
inconveniency
to
the
Kings
affaires
,
as
any
other
thing
we
have
yet
mentioned
;
and
in
truth
would
have
beene
a
worke
(
besides
the
generall
distaste
)
of
a
most
stupendious
labour
to
have
effected
:
not
onely
in
regard
of
the
severall
intricate
Titles
,
that
must
of
necessity
depend
upon
the
long
continuation
of
them
from
one
family
to
another
,
by
reason
of
alienations
and
bargaines
of
diverse
natures
and
manners
,
made
betweene
man
and
man
,
but
also
would
be
a
most
difficult
matter
for
the
Natives
themselves
,
justly
to
distribute
with
an
indifferent
equality
and
content
,
to
each
party
who
should
make
their
demands
,
since
as
many
would
pretend
to
what
was
none
of
their
owne
,
so
others
againe
being
but
very
young
(
if
at
all
then
borne
)
when
their
ancestors
lost
the
possessions
of
their
estates
,
(
the
property
of
them
being
also
since
that
time
changed
,
either
by
cutting
down
of
woods
,
erecting
of
building
,
or
peopling
of
Townes
and
Villages
)
would
be
defrauded
of
their
dues
,
for
want
of
certaine
knowledge
,
what
belonged
to
their
Parents
:
besides
how
many
hundred
of
families
,
would
be
turned
to
a
most
miserable
begging
posture
?
who
as
Tennants
to
their
Lords
,
had
laid
out
their
money
of
a
confiderable
valew
upon
purchases
,
either
for
lives
or
yeares
,
and
knew
not
where
to
seeke
other
habitations
with
their
wives
and
children
for
their
subsistance
;
neither
truly
could
the
Natives
make
any
considerable
profit
of
the
said
lands
,
for
want
of
people
to
mannure
them
,
since
it
is
very
well
knowne
,
they
in
their
owne
persons
are
not
any
way
husbandmen
,
or
at
all
industrious
without
the
Lydian
assistance
;
wherefore
consequently
,
this
course
and
alteration
must
bring
a
generall
devastation
upon
the
whole
Countrey
:
but
put
case
some
would
readily
yield
to
these
orders
and
injunctions
,
by
reason
of
quietnesse
and
possession
,
yet
no
doubt
but
the
most
part
would
oppose
,
being
by
birth
or
extraction
either
Myssians
or
Lydians
,
which
of
necessity
would
procure
confusion
enough
,
as
also
be
a
meanes
that
Evarchus
enemies
,
would
dispossesse
all
his
friends
under
their
jurisdiction
in
like
manner
,
wheresoever
they
had
gained
by
their
swords
any
thing
over
the
Kings
fortunes
in
Lydia
,
Myssia
,
or
Creet
.
Of
the
other
side
,
if
we
doe
but
consider
,
the
small
aide
and
assistance
,
these
people
could
have
afforded
their
Prince
at
the
best
,
we
shall
find
these
concessions
(
upon
the
matter
)
would
have
beene
wholly
lost
,
since
they
undertooke
onely
,
to
procure
him
ten
thousand
men
to
be
imployed
in
his
Warres
,
without
paying
them
for
any
considerable
time
;
and
the
gods
know
perhaps
,
they
would
not
fully
have
performed
those
promises
;
being
as
uncertaine
in
their
undertakings
,
as
unreasonable
in
their
demands
:
No
no
,
Madam
,
said
he
,
these
were
but
meer
chymeras
,
broached
by
some
of
their
eminent
commanders
for
their
own
ends
,
to
render
themselves
great
and
potent
amongst
the
people
,
and
afterward
would
have
made
use
of
their
power
,
as
their
ancestors
did
before
them
,
to
no
other
purpose
but
to
exercise
Tyranny
and
nourish
rebellion
:
And
however
,
I
say
,
that
the
messenger
sent
from
Delphos
seemed
to
concurre
in
these
designes
,
yet
I
will
not
say
he
erred
,
so
much
in
will
and
intention
,
as
out
of
ignorance
and
want
of
judgement
:
neverthelesse
though
he
imagined
onely
perhaps
to
reduce
the
inhabitants
to
their
ancient
obedience
to
the
Temple
of
Delphos
,
without
prejudicing
much
others
rights
,
yet
his
complying
so
much
with
their
rude
and
barbarous
customes
in
outward
shew
,
according
to
the
old
Natives
humours
;
with
his
publickly
discountenancing
all
others
of
a
more
civill
conversation
,
notwithstanding
they
professed
the
same
religion
and
worship
of
the
gods
,
gave
not
onely
cause
of
too
much
suspition
,
concerning
his
designes
and
purposes
,
but
occasioned
a
great
deale
of
confusion
and
distraction
in
the
generall
as
well
to
the
overthrow
of
the
Kings
●●●●est
,
as
to
the
hazard
of
the
Natives
subsistance
in
their
owne
Country
,
in
regard
of
the
advantages
their
enemies
the
Myssians
make
of
their
differences
.
But
heare
a
messenger
sent
from
the
Princesse
Cloria
stopt
their
further
discourse
,
who
as
he
said
desired
to
speake
with
Roxana
:
so
that
the
old
woman
,
onely
thanking
Dedalus
for
what
was
past
;
and
promising
too
meet
him
often
upon
the
same
subject
,
made
hast
to
know
her
Mistresses
pleasure
:
When
Roxana
came
into
her
Chamber
,
the
Princesse
told
her
,
that
she
had
beene
lately
troubled
with
a
most
untoward
and
fearefull
dreame
,
which
however
in
her
thoughts
she
was
not
at
all
superstitious
as
shee
said
,
yet
shee
could
not
absolutely
free
her
apprehension
from
the
consideration
of
it
:
shee
imagined
her selfe
and
Narcissus
to
be
upon
the
Sea
together
in
one
Vessell
,
when
of
a
sudden
an
extreame
darknesse
seemed
to
cover
the
face
of
the
water
,
in
so
much
as
they
could
not
perceive
any
thing
at
all
about
them
,
whereupon
both
of
them
remaining
frighted
,
with
a
kind
of
horrour
to
see
so
great
an
unexpected
change
in
the
weather
,
from
a
cleare
Sun-shine-day
,
to
a
time
almost
as
black
as
night
,
they
might
at
last
behold
themselves
incompassed
round
about
with
many
ships
,
belonging
to
the
Senate
of
Lydia
,
that
bid
them
presently
yield
to
that
power
without
resistance
,
unlesse
they
would
hazzard
their
owne
destructions
:
so
that
instantly
conceiving
themselves
no
way
able
to
resist
so
peremptory
a
command
,
their
persons
were
presently
not
onely
seized
,
but
separated
with
a
great
deale
of
cruelty
one
from
anoth●●
,
to
their
no
small
griefe
and
amazement
,
whilst
in
the
interim
also
shee
heard
some
of
the
company
say
,
that
as
this
designe
was
put
in
execution
,
by
the
authority
of
young
Philos
Philostros
nephew
,
so
was
it
his
pleasure
to
have
her selfe
carried
prisoner
into
her
fathers
Kingdome
of
Lydia
,
as
he
was
resolved
to
dispose
of
the
person
of
Narcissus
,
according
to
his
owne
will
and
intentions
in
the
Kingdome
of
Syria
:
presently
upon
the
apprehension
of
the
dreame
(
as
shee
said
)
shee
wakened
,
with
some
kinde
of
seeming
trouble
more
then
ordinary
as
the
people
about
her
had
informed
her
her
:
Roxana
finding
her
Mistresse
notwithstanding
her
professions
,
to
be
something
discomposed
,
either
by
reason
of
the
distempers
of
her
sicknesse
,
or
in
regard
of
the
distraction
of
her
apprehension
,
having
belike
before
shee
went
to
sleep
,
filled
her
imagination
with
some
unprofitable
thoughts
proceeding
from
the
discourse
of
former
actions
or
conceptions
,
told
her
,
that
as
it
was
the
greatest
folly
in
the
world
(
if
not
a
most
supreame
impiety
)
to
put
any
manner
of
confidence
or
beliefe
in
dreames
unpleasant
,
that
were
ingendred
onely
in
the
fancy
by
meere
accidents
,
meeting
with
the
indisposition
of
the
body
,
so
if
the
gods
at
any
time
had
a
will
,
we
should
be
instructed
in
things
to
come
necessary
to
be
known
,
they
would
certainly
send
us
for
true
information
to
Oracles
,
that
are
not
to
be
held
fallible
in
any
kind
:
of
the
contrary
,
the
motions
that
proceed
from
our selves
are
for
the
most
part
governed
by
passions
;
and
so
consequently
not
to
be
relyed
upon
,
although
sometimes
I
cannot
deny
said
shee
but
they
happen
accordingly
,
though
no
otherwise
then
like
as
a
person
should
cast
a
stone
over
a
house
,
and
by
meere
fortune
might
kill
a
bird
of
the
other
side
;
for
though
the
stone
had
but
that
one
place
to
light
in
to
doe
the
thing
,
yet
by
meere
fortune
it
might
as
well
light
there
as
any
where
else
:
but
however
this
short
discourse
,
reasonably
well
quieted
the
Princesses
thoughts
for
the
present
;
yet
both
shee
and
Roxana
fell
upon
a
resolution
,
with
all
possible
speed
to
haste
their
journey
towards
the
Island
of
Cyprus
;
as
well
for
that
they
doubted
not
,
but
to
meet
Narcissus
to
their
extraordinary
content
and
satisfaction
there
;
as
of
the
other
side
,
not
conceiving
Greet
to
be
a
place
of
sufficient
security
any
long
time
,
in
regard
of
those
many
factions
and
disturbances
in
the
country
,
depending
upon
severall
interests
,
according
to
the
relations
of
Dedalus
the
governour
;
for
besides
the
inconstant
natures
of
the
people
,
with
the
small
authority
the
King
seemed
to
have
by
way
of
jurisdiction
,
over
the
very
actions
and
affaires
of
his
own
party
(
as
they
were
informed
)
could
they
be
very
confident
of
the
fidelity
of
the
City
of
Pergame
,
where
they
for
the
present
remained
;
in
regard
the
Senate
of
Lydia
by
occasion
of
Trade
,
seemed
to
have
a
kinde
of
hidden
influence
,
in
the
thoughts
and
affections
of
most
of
the
inhabitants
:
neverthelesse
,
although
Cloria
and
her
governesse
might
have
these
passionate
desires
,
of
removing
with
all
expedition
,
yet
neither
the
distempers
of
the
Princesse
,
or
the
commodity
of
the
Syrian
Vessell
that
had
conveyed
them
thither
,
as
yet
afforded
them
the
conveniency
.
But
whilst
their
expectations
from
day
to
day
waited
the
opportunity
,
Dedalus
of
a
sudden
had
intelligence
,
that
the
old
Cretans
having
newly
given
the
Myssians
in
their
Countrey
a
kinde
of
a
desperate
overthrow
,
esteeming
themselves
thereby
at
more
liberty
to
act
as
they
pleased
,
were
marching
in
all
hast
against
the
Walles
of
Pergame
,
with
an
intention
as
't
was
said
,
to
obtaine
the
absolute
jurisdiction
both
of
the
Towne
and
Haven
:
The
Governour
upon
this
,
after
he
had
made
the
Princesse
Cloria
acquainted
with
the
newes
,
assembled
the
chiefe
Magistrates
of
the
City
,
whereby
not
onely
to
take
their
advice
,
but
to
demand
their
assistance
;
however
all
the
benefit
this
congregation
produced
towards
the
end
he
intended
,
was
to
breake
up
the
meeting
in
distracted
councells
instead
of
more
setled
resolutions
;
for
he
found
some
were
for
the
Senate
of
Lydia
and
the
Myssians
;
others
againe
declared
their
affections
to
be
most
inclinable
for
the
proceedings
and
Religion
of
the
ancient
Natives
;
though
the
third
sort
of
people
however
fewest
in
number
declared
for
the
Princesse
Cloria
and
himselfe
:
but
Dedalus
finding
,
he
could
not
build
his
determinations
upon
these
uncertainties
,
wherein
both
the
safety
of
the
Towne
and
his
own
honour
,
might
probably
suffer
,
by
reason
of
the
protraction
;
as
also
the
person
of
the
Princesse
Cloria
be
endangered
by
his
slownesse
and
neglect
,
he
quickly
mustered
up
all
the
Souldiers
of
the
Castle
,
with
such
others
of
the
Kings
party
in
the
City
,
that
were
willing
to
obey
his
command
,
with
an
intention
according
to
Roxana's
perswasion
,
onely
to
guard
and
defend
the
Walls
and
the
Bullwarkes
of
the
Towne
from
any
suddaine
surprize
of
the
Rebells
;
not
conceiving
himselfe
able
to
contend
equally
with
them
in
the
Field
,
by
reason
of
their
numbers
and
provision
:
no
sooner
was
this
resolution
of
his
publickly
made
knowne
in
the
generall
to
the
people
,
but
the
most
part
of
them
,
began
with
open
mouthes
to
exclame
against
his
intentions
,
calling
him
Traytor
and
coward
,
with
a
thousand
other
words
of
most
infamous
language
,
pretending
he
durst
not
issue
out
into
the
field
to
fight
with
the
enemy
,
for
feare
of
his
own
person
,
though
it
were
thereby
to
secure
all
their
lives
and
estates
:
As
this
mad
rage
in
the
multitude
,
was
kindled
by
the
Myssians
faction
in
the
City
,
as
doubting
if
it
were
not
speedily
prevented
,
the
old
Cretan
Natives
might
probably
become
masters
of
the
place
,
and
so
by
consequence
they
should
be
hindred
of
their
Trade
and
commerce
with
Smyrna
,
and
other
Haven
Townes
belonging
to
the
Senate
of
Lydia
,
so
was
Dedalus
forced
to
issue
out
into
the
Field
,
and
venture
a
Battle
with
the
Rebels
,
which
he
performed
with
so
gallant
a
bravery
,
that
within
few
houres
time
he
dislodged
most
of
their
Troopes
from
about
and
neere
the
walls
of
Pergame
:
But
three
or
foure
dayes
after
,
thinking
to
returne
againe
into
the
Towne
with
both
honour
and
authority
,
he
was
suddainly
(
contrary
to
his
expectation
)
violently
opposed
and
denyed
enterance
at
the
gates
of
the
City
,
the
inhabitants
pretending
that
he
onely
seemed
to
have
put
the
enemy
to
flight
,
when
he
had
resolved
to
deliver
up
the
Towne
into
their
hands
:
Dedalus
in
the
interim
being
enflamed
with
this
ungratefull
proceedings
of
his
Country
men
,
resolved
by
power
and
force
of
armes
,
to
gaine
a
new
entrance
to
his
old
command
;
and
to
this
purpose
,
although
his
Souldiers
were
not
many
,
he
began
to
make
formall
Trenches
,
as
if
he
intended
a
long
and
continued
siege
,
whereby
againe
to
bring
the
people
,
to
their
wonted
and
ancient
obedience
,
to
that
jurisdiction
he
held
under
the
King
his
master
,
as
supposing
neither
their
strength
or
skill
,
would
long
be
able
to
contend
with
his
right
and
power
:
but
alasse
,
they
had
already
too
craftily
prevented
his
purposes
,
by
more
preventing
designes
;
for
as
soone
as
they
fell
upon
these
resolutions
,
to
keep
him
by
strong
hand
out
of
the
Towne
,
they
sent
privately
to
those
Lydian
ships
that
lay
dispersed
over
the
Seas
,
with
a
full
declaration
of
their
intentions
,
which
was
to
render
themselves
obedient
to
the
Senat
's
commands
;
of
which
a
considerable
number
was
already
come
into
the
Haven
,
to
take
possession
of
the
City
,
whereby
to
receive
the
peoples
offers
in
that
nature
,
with
a
promise
also
of
their
parts
,
to
afford
them
protection
both
in
war
and
peace
,
against
all
those
that
should
oppose
:
This
being
soon
made
known
to
Dedalus
,
he
had
no
other
way
,
but
to
endeavour
the
best
conditions
he
could
both
for
himselfe
and
the
Princesse
,
to
which
effect
Commis-missioners
of
each
side
were
appointed
to
Treat
;
since
as
he
could
not
altogether
have
declined
this
remedy
,
so
with
no
probable
hope
,
could
he
have
expected
the
gaining
of
the
Towne
by
force
,
in
regard
of
those
supplies
which
remained
in
the
ships
newly
come
into
the
Haven
;
to
strengthen
the
inhabitants
endeavours
and
resolutions
;
of
the
other
side
,
being
obliged
to
lye
with
all
his
Forces
in
the
Fields
before
the
Walls
of
Pergame
,
without
either
supplyes
or
provision
,
he
was
in
certaine
danger
to
be
destroyed
by
the
old
Natives
,
who
not
many
dayes
before
by
his
valour
and
conduct
,
he
had
disgracefully
chased
from
the
siege
.
However
the
Princesse
Cloria
,
when
shee
came
to
the
assured
knowledge
of
these
unfortunate
passages
,
by
which
her
owne
liberty
seemed
again
to
be
circumscribed
,
by
a
new
though
a
more
inferiour
jurisdiction
,
although
shee
could
not
be
but
sufficiently
sensible
of
the
unhappinesse
of
such
a
subjection
,
yet
shee
resolved
to
meet
her
captivity
with
such
a
majesty
,
as
either
would
bring
revenge
upon
her
person
,
in
regard
of
her
Fathers
contentions
,
or
procure
a
respectfull
compassion
from
her
enemies
,
that
might
defend
her
Dignity
from
all
oppression
:
with
these
thoughts
(
as
if
shee
had
beene
of
a
sudden
miraculously
cured
of
her
distempers
)
shee
called
for
her
Clothes
,
whereby
the
better
to
put
her
couragious
determinations
in
execution
,
when
any
violence
to
that
purpose
should
be
attempted
:
but
Roxana
upon
the
instant
comming
in
to
her
chamber
,
and
finding
her
body
not
in
a
capacity
to
answer
to
that
resolution
of
her
minde
,
not
onely
gave
her
counsell
to
lye
still
,
and
expect
as
yet
the
farther
event
of
things
during
the
Treaty
,
but
also
entered
into
more
necessary
discourses
with
her
,
concerning
what
was
to
be
thought
upon
and
done
,
in
this
unlucky
conjuncture
of
affaires
;
although
shee
could
not
apprehend
much
danger
would
happen
,
either
to
her
person
or
quality
by
this
accident
:
To
this
purpose
shee
used
this
language
unto
her
as
shee
lay
in
her
bed
:
Madam
said
shee
,
put
the
worst
,
which
is
to
be
made
prisoners
to
this
new
power
,
that
as
you
see
,
hath
not
onely
driven
out
Dedalus
from
his
command
,
but
probably
will
now
circumvent
all
our
other
designes
,
if
they
can
finde
the
opportunity
:
they
must
either
carry
you
into
Lydia
,
or
send
you
home
into
Cyprus
;
if
they
conducted
you
into
Lydia
,
they
cannot
certainly
be
so
inhumane
,
as
to
debarre
you
from
the
sweet
society
of
your
most
honoured
and
noble
Father
,
in
whose
conversation
you
will
not
only
be
delighted
;
as
it
may
be
imagined
with
a
most
supreame
felicity
,
but
also
you
will
have
the
commodity
,
to
impart
unto
him
your
secret
resolution
,
concerning
the
intended
marriage
,
between
my
Lord
Narcissus
and
your selfe
,
which
perhaps
is
a
conveniency
you
would
be
most
unwilling
to
misse
;
and
in
some
sort
requisite
before
you
absolutely
finish
those
other
ceremonies
,
which
in
effect
as
you
know
,
must
have
beene
performed
either
in
person
or
by
Deputy
,
to
render
you
fully
satisfied
in
your
thoughts
;
since
as
you
may
remember
you
made
an
open
profession
to
that
purpose
:
besides
how
doe
you
know
,
but
that
you
may
finde
your
Father
in
such
a
prosperous
condition
,
that
by
the
absolutely
subjection
of
his
enemies
,
your
mother
the
Queen
may
againe
be
called
home
to
her
old
honours
and
felicities
in
Lydia
?
which
would
be
the
convenietest
and
best
Theatre
,
whereon
to
act
the
happy
parts
of
your
most
glorious
Nuptialls
:
of
the
contrary
if
they
should
send
you
into
Cyprus
,
certainly
you
should
be
in
the
place
according
to
your
own
wishes
,
since
all
this
while
you
have
endeavoured
the
expedition
and
successe
of
that
journey
,
as
the
last
seeming
period
of
your
desires
,
after
all
your
strange
and
severall
adventures
;
esteeming
it
as
a
full
satisfaction
from
the
gods
,
in
recompence
of
your
so
many
troubles
and
hazards
:
neither
let
it
ever
enter
into
your
thoughts
,
that
the
Senate
of
Lydia
will
in
any
kinde
,
either
endanger
your
person
or
restraine
your
liberty
;
for
that
,
as
such
intentions
would
afford
them
no
manner
of
benefit
whatsoever
,
in
their
contentions
with
the
King
your
Father
(
since
there
are
already
many
of
the
royall
Issue
out
of
their
power
and
possession
)
so
would
it
not
onely
cause
a
more
generall
hate
upon
their
actions
throughout
all
Asia
,
but
highly
exasperate
your
Uncle
Orsames
against
their
proceedings
;
to
the
endangering
certainely
,
of
a
new
Warre
betweene
Syria
and
Lydia
,
which
no
doubt
but
the
Senate
will
endeavour
to
prevent
,
by
all
meanes
possible
they
can
invent
.
Yet
however
Roxana
might
be
of
these
opinions
,
or
that
shee
onely
used
such
discourses
,
the
better
to
encourage
the
Princesse
,
neverthelesse
it
was
not
many
dayes
before
the
Senates
Sea
Forces
declared
their
intentions
;
which
was
absolutely
to
conduct
Cloria
into
Lydia
,
restrained
in
her
person
,
untill
(
as
they
said
)
the
farther
pleasure
of
the
Senate
,
should
be
known
concerning
her
particular
;
withall
pretending
they
had
a
peremptory
commission
to
execute
according
to
this
purpose
;
proceeding
belike
from
the
untoward
endeavour
of
that
Ambassadour
at
Memphis
,
that
had
beene
imployed
by
Philos
,
to
distroy
the
Loves
between
Cloria
and
Narcissus
:
As
for
Dedalus
,
all
the
conditions
he
could
procure
for
himselfe
,
was
,
upon
their
undertaking
to
pay
him
thirty
Talents
for
the
discharge
of
his
Souldiers
,
and
the
defraying
of
his
necessary
expences
,
presently
to
lay
downe
Armes
and
quit
the
Island
of
Creet
;
though
if
he
pleased
being
so
agreed
between
them
,
he
might
visit
the
Kingdome
of
Lydia
,
untill
such
time
he
should
more
commodiously
prepare
his
occasions
,
for
his
absolute
transportation
into
forraigne
parts
.
'T
is
true
Roxana
cast
about
many
wayes
in
her
working
thoughts
,
how
yet
to
alter
or
prevent
these
determinations
of
carrying
the
Princesse
Cloria
into
Lydia
a
prisoner
:
first
shee
fancies
to
steale
out
of
the
Towne
,
to
those
Forces
which
Dedalus
had
in
a
body
entire
without
the
Walls
;
and
notwithstanding
the
agreement
to
animate
their
spirits
to
stand
for
the
Kings
right
and
the
Princesse
safety
:
but
finding
they
both
needed
necessary
provisions
,
and
were
in
danger
in
their
persons
hourely
to
be
cut
off
by
the
old
Cretans
,
that
lay
every
where
dispersed
over
the
whole
Countrey
;
who
hated
them
as
they
knew
equall
with
the
Myssians
,
shee
thought
that
would
be
a
project
of
no
great
consequence
to
their
benefit
;
then
againe
shee
imagined
,
that
perchance
they
might
use
some
stratagem
,
to
be
conveyed
privately
out
of
the
Haven
,
by
some
hired
ship
to
that
purpose
;
and
by
that
meanes
concealedly
get
into
the
Island
of
Cyprus
,
according
to
their
former
intentions
:
however
when
shee
remembred
she
was
told
,
that
the
officers
of
the
Senates
forces
,
had
lately
not
onely
taken
a
strict
account
of
all
the
Vessels
that
remained
in
the
Harbour
,
but
had
also
put
in
new
Commanders
of
their
owne
in
every
ship
,
she
supposed
with
no
probability
what
,
soever
,
could
they
attempt
such
a
designe
without
being
revealed
;
and
then
they
might
come
to
be
worse
used
in
their
confinement
.
Whereas
now
the
Princesse
was
promised
all
honour
,
favour
,
and
respect
according
to
her
Dignity
in
the
journey
.
And
lastly
she
conceited
,
that
perchance
they
might
find
not
onely
reception
but
protection
in
the
Armies
of
the
ancient
Natives
:
but
when
she
considered
the
inconstancy
of
their
dispositions
,
the
rudenesse
of
their
customes
,
with
their
several
particular
interests
,
she
thought
it
a
vanity
,
if
not
a
madnesse
to
put
in
execution
any
such
designe
,
and
the
rather
for
that
the
Princesse
Cloria
her selfe
,
was
not
yet
so
perfectly
recovered
of
her
health
,
that
she
could
possibly
expose
her
person
to
those
uncertainties
,
both
in
travel
,
&
dyet
,
with
other
inconveniences
,
that
she
would
necessarily
be
obliged
to
suffer
amongst
those
unpollisht
Troopes
:
wherefore
the
old
woman
being
in
her
opinion
convinced
in
all
these
particulars
,
shee
perswaded
her
Mistresse
,
with
a
kinde
of
a
majesty
mixt
with
affability
and
kindnesse
,
to
entertaine
both
her
fortunes
,
and
those
Commanders
that
should
be
designed
to
conduct
her
under
the
jurisdiction
of
the
Senate
,
since
as
yet
they
could
not
by
any
meanes
learne
what
probably
might
be
resolved
of
,
concerning
the
farther
disposure
of
their
persons
,
upon
their
arrivall
in
the
Kingdome
of
Lydia
.
It
was
not
many
dayes
when
the
Princesse
Cloria
had
declared
her selfe
,
both
fit
and
willing
,
to
undertake
a
journey
,
that
the
Admirall
at
Sea
,
who
had
been
sent
out
by
the
direction
of
the
Ambassadour
,
that
remained
as
was
formerly
related
at
Memphis
,
conducted
the
sweet
Princesse
with
her
governesse
into
his
own
ship
,
where
he
had
prepared
a
magnificent
Cabin
for
her
reception
;
but
whether
so
adorned
out
of
any
intention
thereby
the
better
to
win
her
beliefe
,
or
out
of
the
humanity
of
his
own
nature
I
cannot
tell
:
yet
so
it
was
,
in
that
unwelcome
Triumph
,
that
both
the
Fleet
and
the
Seas
themselves
received
them
with
a
prosperous
Wind
,
which
in
two
dayes
and
a
night
or
thereabouts
,
landed
them
in
the
faire
and
ancient
Haven
of
Smyrna
.
where
they
reposed
not
much
longer
,
before
they
were
conveyed
by
many
gallant
Troopes
of
horse
(
by
the
Senates
directions
)
to
a
brave
Castle
of
the
Kings
,
seated
upon
a
hill
not
very
far
off
the
great
City
of
Sardis
,
where
they
had
not
onely
time
enough
to
rest
,
but
to
exercise
abundantly
their
own
thoughts
,
since
as
they
knew
they
were
confined
,
so
were
they
in
a
manner
out
of
hope
to
know
for
how
long
.
Some
weekes
after
the
said
Princesse
,
and
her
affectionate
Governesse
,
had
remained
imprisoned
in
the
Castle
,
which
the
Senat
had
ordered
for
their
confinement
,
spending
their
time
for
the
most
part
in
fruitlesse
complaints
,
accompanied
with
more
Teares
,
of
a
sudden
Roxana
one
day
as
shee
was
sitting
in
a
low
Parlor
,
that
opened
a
Balcona-window
into
the
parke
,
where
many
tame
Deere
grazed
,
that
all
the
winter
were
accustomed
to
be
fed
by
the
hand
,
for
the
pleasure
formerly
of
the
King
,
who
upon
his
retirement
from
troublesome
affaires
,
would
repaire
thither
for
the
better
privacy
of
recreation
,
was
salluted
by
a
young
gentleman
,
of
more
then
ordinary
beauty
and
comlinesse
of
person
,
who
after
he
had
with
a
certaine
winning
behaviour
made
up
between
confidence
and
humility
,
bestowed
some
complements
upon
her
,
he
uttered
this
language
:
Madam
said
he
,
not
finding
the
excellent
Princesse
Cloria
so
apt
and
capable
for
my
discourse
at
present
,
as
I
wish
she
were
,
in
regard
of
those
desparing
sorrowes
,
that
seem
to
cloud
so
many
admirable
perfections
,
that
were
wont
to
give
new
lustres
to
the
world
,
and
may
againe
notwithstanding
these
ominous
interpositions
,
that
seem
to
be
governed
,
not
onely
by
a
cruell
but
a
most
presumptuous
and
unmannerly
fate
,
if
shee
can
but
be
wrought
to
such
a
confidence
and
belife
of
my
intentions
,
concerning
her
service
,
as
is
not
onely
convenient
but
most
necessary
for
the
season
:
for
however
the
office
I
now
seem
to
hold
under
the
Senats
jurisdiction
,
is
cause
I
must
confesse
of
suspition
enough
,
to
the
most
strongest
perswasions
,
yet
I
call
all
the
gods
to
witnesse
,
who
best
know
my
heart
,
that
I
harbour
never
a
thought
inwardly
that
doth
not
entirely
wish
a
most
supreame
happinesse
to
every
action
,
that
Evarchus
can
thinke
may
againe
bring
him
to
the
uttermost
height
,
of
all
his
ancient
honours
and
Dignities
,
though
the
circumstances
and
reasons
of
my
affections
,
in
regard
of
my
present
condition
,
are
so
many
and
various
at
this
time
to
be
disputed
:
but
if
this
beliefe
of
my
loyalty
,
shall
take
that
place
with
your
charity
,
as
I
humbly
desire
it
may
,
I
shall
then
discover
unto
you
such
passages
,
lately
come
to
my
knowledge
,
that
will
not
only
probably
secure
the
Princesse
from
a
storme
comming
upon
her
,
which
perhaps
shee
would
most
willingly
avoid
,
but
also
put
her
in
a
way
of
so
absolute
a
happinesse
,
that
I
dare
be
hold
to
say
,
neither
her
hopes
nor
yours
can
yet
arrive
unto
.
Roxana
however
she
knew
not
(
notwithstanding
all
his
violent
professions
)
how
to
be
over
confident
of
his
intentions
,
yet
in
regard
both
of
the
necessity
of
their
condition
,
as
also
having
some
kind
of
reasons
given
her
,
by
the
earnestnesse
of
his
language
,
and
the
ingenuity
of
his
countenance
,
to
be
something
plyable
to
his
discourse
,
she
thought
it
at
leastwise
the
safest
way
,
to
comply
with
his
offer
without
any
seeming
jealousie
,
whatsoever
:
And
to
this
purpose
,
after
she
had
abundantly
thanked
him
for
his
extraordinary
curtesie
,
she
told
him
,
both
her
Ladies
obligations
and
her
owne
,
would
be
exceedingly
augmented
,
by
any
information
he
should
give
of
the
Senats
intentions
,
since
as
yet
they
could
finde
nothing
but
effects
of
their
cruelty
;
And
much
more
if
by
his
assistance
,
they
might
winde
themselves
out
of
their
present
troubles
and
future
dangers
.
Then
Lady
said
he
,
as
the
story
I
have
to
tell
,
concernes
Prince
Cassianus
fortunes
,
since
his
departure
out
of
Lydia
,
wherein
the
Princesse
Cloria
is
involv'd
,
so
must
I
desire
your
leave
to
prosecute
all
those
circumstances
that
belong
to
the
relation
,
however
perhaps
they
may
not
be
altogether
judged
so
necessary
to
the
matter
,
by
your
discerning
judgement
,
yet
in
regard
the
passages
cannot
be
but
something
delightfull
to
your
fancy
,
I
shall
make
bold
to
presume
upon
your
patience
,
since
truly
they
are
both
admirable
and
almost
past
all
beliefe
:
Know
then
,
that
Cassianus
at
his
being
at
the
Court
of
Lydia
,
though
his
businesse
in
outward
view
seemed
to
pretend
to
nothing
,
but
the
procuring
assistance
from
the
King
,
to
regaine
his
lost
Countrey
of
Iberia
,
yet
secretly
I
must
tell
you
,
he
fell
in
love
with
the
Princesse
Cloria
,
which
however
he
durst
not
discover
:
In
this
posture
he
continued
between
hope
and
despaire
,
untill
the
arrivall
of
the
old
Queen
Anaxia
,
as
he
believed
drowned
all
his
encouragements
,
in
a
vast
Sea
of
impossibility
,
for
that
she
brought
with
her
in
her
journey
,
certaine
propositions
full
of
honour
and
benefit
to
Evarchus
Court
,
from
the
King
of
Aegypt
,
concerning
a
marriage
betweene
the
faire
Princesse
and
his
Son
and
Heire
Osiris
,
which
caused
Cassianus
that
night
,
when
all
the
world
was
imployed
about
the
triumphant
sports
,
that
were
designed
for
the
entertainment
of
the
Queen
of
Syria
,
to
leave
Lydia
:
belike
being
put
on
to
those
resolutions
,
by
his
melancholly
apprehensions
,
which
however
as
you
very
well
know
so
enflamed
the
whole
Kingdome
,
by
the
spightfull
practises
of
factious
Dimogoras
joyned
with
the
crafty
insinuations
of
others
of
the
same
interest
;
that
it
proved
a
maine
occasion
that
since
hath
disquieted
the
King
in
his
government
.
But
Cassianus
himselfe
who
had
left
Lydia
ingendring
certaine
blacke
clouds
of
malignant
vapours
,
that
afterwards
became
furious
stormes
of
bloud
and
slaughter
(
though
I
cannot
say
he
was
any
way
guilty
in
their
effects
;
for
Princes
Titles
and
interests
are
oftentimes
abused
to
sinister
ends
and
purposes
)
retired
in
person
,
under
the
jurisdiction
of
an
ancient
Forrest
,
not
many
dayes
journey
from
the
Court
,
where
sometimes
he
privately
lived
,
delighting
his
solitary
intentions
,
with
the
exercise
of
hunting
,
and
other
rurall
delights
,
which
those
pleasant
woods
,
and
that
fruitfull
Countrey
plentifully
afforded
his
nature
and
fortune
:
but
not
long
it
was
before
Hyacinthia
our
Queen
also
,
by
reason
of
the
inflamations
of
Lydia
,
was
forced
to
quit
her
Husbands
Kingdome
by
which
accident
as
you
know
she
met
in
that
place
,
with
the
company
of
her
banished
brother
Candalus
,
outed
in
like
manner
of
all
his
happinesse
,
by
the
powerfull
authority
of
Philostros
great
favourite
to
Orsames
.
As
most
of
these
passages
were
within
the
compasse
of
your
owne
intelligence
,
which
I
have
related
onely
for
my
stories
better
method
,
so
now
I
shall
presume
to
informe
you
of
such
particulars
,
as
you
have
not
yet
heard
of
;
for
Cassianus
remaining
as
I
said
in
the
delightfull
Forrest
,
and
going
under
the
borrowed
and
abbreviated
name
of
Cassa
,
being
disguised
in
the
habit
of
a
young
huntsman
,
upon
the
Queenes
arrivall
,
presented
himselfe
to
your
view
though
not
to
your
knowledge
:
by
which
encounter
,
he
was
encouraged
,
againe
to
prosecute
his
old
love
(
almost
laid
asleep
by
time
and
separation
,
to
the
Princesse
Cloria
since
the
conveniency
(
as
he
thought
)
could
not
be
bettered
;
and
in
that
manner
resolved
to
wait
upon
the
Queen
undiscovered
into
Syria
:
Neverthelesse
in
that
intended
voyage
as
you
know
,
both
himselfe
and
Eumenes
suffered
shipwrack
;
however
Cassianns
(
though
the
other
perished
)
by
the
prospitiousnesse
of
the
heavens
,
escaped
in
a
manner
miraculously
the
desperate
danger
of
the
Sea
,
and
entered
into
such
adventures
as
scarce
can
be
paralleld
:
for
his
body
being
supported
,
upon
a
flat
chest
full
of
Jewells
belonging
to
himselfe
,
by
the
onely
flowing
of
the
water
,
was
carried
into
certaine
Nets
belonging
to
poor
fishermen
,
who
finding
a
young
man
full
of
beauty
,
though
almost
dead
by
the
violent
agitation
of
the
waves
,
after
they
had
recovered
some
life
in
him
,
presented
him
to
a
Lords
daughter
of
the
Country
called
Brisania
,
as
a
subject
worth
her
best
compassion
;
but
the
Lady-whether
taken
with
the
youth
and
beauty
of
her
patient
,
or
having
an
inclination
to
affect
that
she
had
once
preserved
,
of
a
sudden
fell
in
love
with
his
lovely
person
,
since
she
had
no
motives
to
be
inticed
by
the
knowledge
of
his
Titles
,
he
having
concealed
himselfe
,
the
better
to
performe
his
intended
journey
into
Syria
:
and
this
love
at
last
from
small
sparcles
,
began
to
encrease
to
a
great
flame
,
though
for
a
long
time
Cassianus
was
not
informed
of
the
Ladies
passions
;
for
her
virgin
modesty
ever
supprest
the
declaration
of
that
which
shee
had
much
adoe
to
hide
,
untill
the
secret
fire
was
discovered
by
the
sharp
sight
of
another
Suitor
,
that
had
already
procured
the
good
will
of
her
Father
for
their
future
marriage
;
notwithstanding
another
Rivall
by
a
more
noble
love
contended
with
the
former
for
preheminence
:
In
the
interim
that
these
intricate
affections
seemed
to
act
severall
parts
,
the
old
Lord
by
his
unexpected
death
,
left
his
faire
daughter
to
inherite
rather
misfortune
,
then
jurisdiction
;
For
Fridius
her
hated
Lover
(
being
so
called
)
presently
seized
both
upon
her
Person
and
Country
,
pretending
that
her
Father
in
his
last
will
,
had
instituted
him
the
sole
governour
of
her
Minority
,
least
she
might
endanger
both
her
honour
and
safety
by
some
inconsiderable
match
;
resolving
withall
to
make
Cassianus
a
Sacrifice
or
a
Petitioner
to
compasse
his
ends
:
to
which
purpose
,
he
caused
him
publickly
to
be
accused
,
that
he
intended
to
have
betrayed
the
Towne
and
Conutrey
to
a
forraigne
power
;
under
pretence
of
freeing
Brisania
from
prison
,
who
seemed
also
to
have
consented
to
the
practice
,
whereby
to
have
procured
her
own
releasement
.
And
this
being
falsely
laid
to
his
charge
he
was
unjustly
condemned
;
however
Fridius
suspended
the
execution
untill
he
had
not
onely
againe
attempted
the
Ladies
consent
to
his
offered
Love
,
but
procured
Cassianus
,
who
went
by
the
borrowed
name
of
Cassa
,
to
be
himselfe
a
Sollicitor
in
his
suit
;
which
opportunely
gave
Brisania
occasion
,
instead
of
granting
Fridius
his
request
,
to
discover
her
own
love
;
but
Cassianus
became
rather
confused
then
pleased
at
this
discovery
,
since
the
hazard
of
his
own
life
could
but
purchase
the
acceptance
;
in
so
much
as
onely
with
a
sorrowfull
courtship
he
entertained
her
discourse
,
however
she
gave
him
leave
to
depart
,
and
carry
her
peremptory
denyall
to
the
proud
Tyrant
.
Neverthelesse
poore
Cassa
was
to
be
made
the
object
of
his
spleen
,
since
Brisania
would
not
be
the
subject
of
his
love
;
for
some
few
dayes
after
he
was
brought
to
a
publicke
scaffold
erected
before
the
Castle
window
,
where
Brisania
remained
,
that
she
might
be
the
better
witnesse
of
the
bloudy
Tragedy
intended
;
Cassa
appeared
in
a
mourning
habit
,
becomming
the
sadnesse
of
his
present
condition
,
but
much
more
clouded
in
his
sorrowfull
countenance
,
that
shewed
his
dejected
minde
;
though
his
beauty
had
yet
so
large
a
possession
in
his
person
by
the
opinion
of
the
people
,
that
he
seemed
a
Sun
shaded
in
a
dark
skie
,
that
notwithstanding
shot
forth
bright
beames
under
the
blacke
coverture
;
And
in
this
manner
was
lead
to
the
Theater
of
death
in
the
view
of
the
people
,
who
accompanied
him
all
the
way
with
their
liberall
lamentation
,
since
these
were
the
onely
sacrifices
they
could
offer
in
his
behalfe
;
for
although
he
was
esteemed
amongst
them
but
a
private
Gentleman
of
Iberia
,
yet
could
they
not
chuse
but
grieve
to
see
a
Youth
of
his
naturall
perfections
,
untimely
brought
to
his
destruction
,
by
the
cruelty
of
a
wicked
Tyrant
:
But
in
the
meane
time
poore
Brisania
summoned
to
the
spectacle
by
the
noyse
of
the
spectators
,
at
the
first
sight
began
to
feele
new
passions
in
her
gentle
bosome
,
not
so
much
of
love
as
pitty
,
since
the
prisoner
himselfe
had
by
divers
messages
solicited
her
to
yield
,
rather
then
to
make
him
the
onely
object
of
Fridius
his
hate
:
wherefore
,
first
she
laid
before
her
thoughts
the
innocency
of
the
prisoner
that
was
to
suffer
,
onely
because
she
continued
wilfull
.
Then
she
began
to
thinke
there
was
nothing
but
her
own
miserable
captivity
could
redeem
his
life
,
religion
,
charity
and
affection
pleaded
of
one
side
,
as
hatred
,
honour
,
and
courage
contended
of
the
other
,
which
made
her
sometimes
resolve
to
breake
through
the
crowde
,
and
fling
her selfe
at
Fridius
his
feet
to
begge
his
pardon
:
But
then
her
spirit
againe
disdaining
such
a
submission
,
rather
chusing
to
cast
her
person
amongst
the
people
,
and
by
her
own
death
incite
their
revenge
,
Whilst
these
considerations
tormented
her
gentle
soule
,
and
that
his
approaching
execution
seemed
to
exact
from
her
consent
a
speedy
resolution
,
at
the
further
end
of
the
Market
place
appeared
a
confused
feare
amongst
the
common
people
,
which
was
quickly
seconded
,
not
onely
with
cryes
of
Treason
,
but
with
the
noyse
of
many
warlike
instruments
,
tending
to
the
surprize
of
the
Towne
,
so
that
the
scaffold
that
was
ordained
to
be
the
stage
where
Cassa
was
to
act
his
last
part
,
became
soon
emptied
of
all
those
unwelcome
assistances
,
and
he
left
onely
to
be
his
own
prisoner
;
an
accident
certainly
that
sufficiently
pleased
him
,
although
his
amazed
joy
had
scarce
beliefe
enough
to
apprehend
he
was
freed
,
which
made
him
longer
continue
that
posture
the
executioner
had
put
him
in
,
then
his
good
fortune
required
at
his
hands
,
so
that
he
moved
not
untill
one
of
the
Souldiers
wish't
him
to
pray
for
the
life
of
Saxanius
who
had
delivered
him
from
death
.
By
which
declaration
it
was
quickly
knowne
throughout
all
the
Market-place
,
that
Brisanias
first
Suitor
had
both
saved
Cassa
from
destruction
,
and
possest
himselfe
of
the
City
,
who
hearing
of
the
cruell
captivity
of
his
deere
Mistresse
by
the
wicked
tyranny
of
Fridius
,
had
assembled
all
his
friends
to
her
rescue
,
and
by
a
neat
stratagem
,
had
happily
brought
about
the
designe
for
her
delivery
,
and
her
enemies
punishment
:
Fridius
sufficiently
apprehensive
of
the
guilt
of
his
own
Treason
,
staid
not
to
dispute
the
right
of
his
cause
with
his
victorious
rivall
,
but
presently
retired
under
the
safe
protection
of
the
strong
Castle
,
where
he
supposed
was
a
Garrison
able
to
contend
,
whilst
other
succors
came
to
his
assistance
;
besides
he
had
Brisania
in
his
power
,
by
whose
authority
and
Title
he
imagined
the
better
to
retaine
the
obedience
of
the
People
.
But
Saxanius
intending
neither
to
be
slothfull
in
his
love
or
hate
;
after
he
had
given
some
orders
for
the
surer
obedience
of
the
Towne
,
soon
placed
a
formall
siege
before
the
Fort
where
his
Mistresse
was
imprisoned
,
with
so
great
a
probability
of
prevailing
that
within
some
few
dayes
he
received
a
Message
from
wicked
Fridius
,
that
if
he
did
not
presently
retire
himselfe
and
his
Troopes
from
before
the
Castle
,
he
vow'd
by
all
the
gods
that
Brisania
should
act
the
first
part
in
that
Tragedy
was
intended
:
And
for
the
greater
assurance
of
his
intention
,
he
caused
the
Lady
to
be
brought
upon
the
Leades
,
where
were
already
prepared
the
circumstances
of
her
death
.
Saxanius
after
he
had
understood
this
peremptory
demand
from
the
proud
Tyrant
,
and
beheld
with
his
sorrowfull
eyes
the
threatned
danger
of
his
faire
Mistresse
,
for
whose
safety
he
had
ingaged
not
onely
his
owne
courage
,
but
the
valours
also
of
all
his
friends
and
kindred
,
became
tormented
with
many
thoughts
,
and
divers
resolutions
,
since
if
he
absolutely
performed
the
commanding
request
of
his
hated
rivall
,
he
was
no
more
secured
(
as
he
supposed
)
of
Brisania's
preservation
,
then
if
he
should
yield
to
nothing
he
desired
,
but
rather
gave
Fridius
the
more
liberty
to
be
cruell
,
when
he
had
no
occasion
to
feare
;
And
for
any
promise
he
could
make
,
it
was
to
be
esteemed
like
the
rest
of
his
false
actions
:
wherefore
he
almost
determined
to
send
away
the
Harralde
with
a
threatning
deniall
,
instead
of
a
submissive
consent
.
But
then
reflecting
upon
the
apprehensions
of
his
deare
love
,
who
as
he
believed
,
would
imagine
that
he
esteemed
much
more
a
little
honour
then
the
saving
of
her
life
,
it
destroyed
his
former
halfe
resolution
,
and
entered
him
againe
into
new
and
confused
considerations
,
which
were
lost
in
his
desperate
breast
with
diversity
of
passions
,
untill
casting
his
sad
eyes
towards
the
place
where
Brisania
was
,
as
a
pure
sacrifice
to
be
offered
according
to
his
imagination
,
who
seemed
in
his
apprehension
already
to
accuse
him
of
unworthy
love
,
that
could
so
long
dispute
in
his
minde
her
preservation
;
of
a
sudden
he
might
see
one
cast
headlong
from
the
top
of
the
Castle
into
the
ditch
;
which
too
soon
perswaded
his
beliefe
that
the
wicked
Tyrant
had
prevented
his
judgement
,
by
performing
the
execution
before
the
returne
of
his
messenger
:
so
that
he
remained
like
one
that
seemed
to
be
changed
into
a
marble
Statute
,
untill
a
flagge
of
Truce
appeared
joyfully
upon
the
Castle
,
as
a
testimony
of
future
friendship
:
however
Saxanius
could
not
be
satisfied
in
the
Omen
,
untill
a
Messenger
from
the
Fort
assured
him
not
onely
of
the
Ladies
safety
,
but
also
of
the
death
of
Fridius
;
with
this
relation
,
that
the
Souldiers
of
the
Fort
,
neither
being
able
to
endure
their
Princesse
captivity
,
nor
the
Tyrants
cruelty
,
had
by
force
rescued
their
Mistresse
,
and
committed
a
supreame
Justice
upon
his
person
;
who
now
was
sent
from
Brisania
to
know
what
conditions
the
besiegers
expected
both
for
her
liberty
and
the
Towne
they
had
already
conquered
.
But
Saxanius
would
make
no
Articles
at
all
with
his
Love
,
for
after
he
had
disposed
of
his
Troopes
into
severall
Quarters
,
he
went
to
present
himselfe
a
slave
to
the
faire
Captive
he
had
redeemed
,
where
he
intended
to
chaine
his
freedome
for
ever
.
However
Cassianus
finding
that
he
was
not
onely
fallen
into
some
disdaine
by
reason
of
those
desires
he
exprest
for
his
own
preservation
,
as
also
Saxanius
likely
to
take
possession
of
those
favours
he
might
have
enjoyed
,
imagined
there
was
no
way
to
preserve
him
still
in
the
good
will
of
his
Lady
,
but
to
discover
his
quality
,
which
he
supposed
would
both
advance
his
esteeme
,
and
lessen
his
rivals
credit
;
and
by
that
meanes
become
a
publicke
pretender
to
Brisania
;
which
notwithstanding
produced
no
other
effects
then
a
challenge
from
Saxanius
,
which
Cassianus
in
honour
could
not
refuse
,
after
he
had
given
sufficient
testimonies
of
his
condition
to
be
a
Prince
and
no
wandring
stranger
.
Yet
however
the
day
was
appointed
for
the
combate
,
and
every
ones
expectation
attended
the
finall
event
of
the
quarrell
,
Brisania's
nurse
called
Rhena
promised
to
satisfie
all
parties
without
danger
or
bloud
,
provided
her
Mistresse
would
be
directed
by
her
Counsells
,
and
become
wife
to
him
whom
the
heavens
had
ordained
to
be
her
husband
.
This
strange
intricacy
gave
curious
desires
to
multitudes
of
people
to
be
present
at
the
wonder
,
since
both
the
Champions
were
resolved
not
to
be
foyled
in
their
honour
,
scarce
in
their
loves
;
Wherefore
they
came
into
the
Field
armed
,
to
supply
the
defect
of
the
old
womans
performance
,
according
to
her
bold
promise
:
but
when
they
were
prepared
to
have
ended
the
difference
by
a
bloudy
encounter
.
Rhena
intreated
them
they
would
first
repaire
to
the
great
Temple
to
sacrifice
to
the
immortall
gods
,
where
she
said
,
she
might
perhaps
relate
such
a
story
,
that
would
satisfie
all
their
desires
.
This
proposition
from
the
old
woman
,
although
it
carried
not
with
it
much
probability
of
according
the
rivalls
,
their
quarrell
being
grounded
upon
a
difference
that
knew
not
how
to
admit
of
any
competition
,
when
gratitude
it selfe
seemed
to
have
no
place
in
Cassianus
disposition
,
though
he
enjoyed
his
life
by
the
fortunate
favour
of
Saxanius
;
yet
by
the
importunate
cryes
of
the
people
who
began
to
be
lesse
curious
and
more
pittifull
,
they
were
perswaded
to
follow
her
directions
;
and
being
before
the
Altar
encompassed
round
about
by
the
expecting
multitude
,
Rhena
after
she
had
called
the
heavens
to
witnesse
of
the
truth
of
what
she
intended
to
utter
,
delivered
this
relation
,
which
as
she
said
,
she
had
bound
her self
by
a
vow
never
to
declare
,
untill
some
necessity
not
to
be
avoyded
forced
from
her
the
discovery
.
When
beautious
Elizana
said
she
,
the
vertuous
mother
of
Prince
Cassianus
here
present
,
was
constrained
with
her
deare
Husband
,
to
flye
from
the
Countrey
of
Mesopotamia
by
the
prevailing
power
of
Artaxes
generall
,
in
the
way
being
great
with
child
,
she
was
forced
to
retire
to
the
house
of
my
late
Lord
,
Father
to
Brisania
,
whose
wife
was
her
neere
kinswoman
,
and
at
the
same
time
great
also
,
where
she
had
not
remained
many
dayes
before
she
was
delivered
of
a
faire
daughter
,
as
my
Lady
not
long
after
of
another
,
to
the
joy
of
the
whole
house
:
however
,
the
gods
esteeming
my
Mistresse
too
good
for
this
life
,
took
her
out
of
this
world
before
she
had
finished
the
moneth
of
her
child-birth
,
to
the
unspeakable
sadnesse
both
of
her
husband
,
and
all
her
servants
,
leaving
no
issue
to
inherit
her
singular
vertues
but
a
daughter
only
.
Elizana
also
being
quickly
called
away
by
her
own
troubles
,
left
her
little
infant
unto
my
education
,
as
my
Lord
also
trusted
me
with
his
jewel
:
but
accidents
and
the
warres
in
Armenia
growing
every
day
more
hot
then
other
,
for
the
better
security
and
quiet
,
I
was
perswaded
with
the
two
children
,
to
retire
to
my
own
house
,
where
we
remained
for
some
yeares
,
they
contented
to
be
each
others
companion
,
as
I
happy
to
be
both
their
Foster
mother
,
since
they
increased
not
so
fast
in
dayes
and
nights
as
in
beauty
and
goodnesse
;
but
alasse
the
Fates
were
envious
at
our
felicity
,
and
tooke
one
of
them
out
of
the
world
,
and
with
these
words
,
the
old
woman
wept
with
the
remembrance
of
her
deare
losse
,
untill
her
many
Teares
running
downe
her
aged
cheekes
gave
some
interruption
to
her
discourse
:
but
finding
her
griefe
was
scarce
seasonable
to
the
passionate
multitude
,
she
wiped
her
eyes
,
and
then
proceeded
:
When
the
violence
of
the
warre
said
she
became
so
qualified
,
that
Parents
had
some
leasure
to
enjoy
the
comfort
of
their
children
,
I
presented
my
Lord
with
a
beautifull
daughter
;
though
for
the
other
I
had
in
charge
,
I
desired
his
favour
to
make
my
excuse
,
since
it
was
not
in
my
power
to
prevent
the
will
of
the
gods
,
which
gave
him
so
much
satisfaction
,
that
he
perswaded
Elizana
by
letter
to
be
content
that
had
many
more
,
which
continued
untill
my
Lady
Brisania
by
his
late
death
as
you
know
became
heire
to
all
his
possessions
,
though
interrupted
some
time
by
wicked
Fridius
,
and
redeemed
by
valiant
Saxanius
,
to
whom
without
a
great
deale
of
ingratitude
she
cannot
but
give
her selfe
,
and
all
that
she
hath
,
since
she
hath
received
it
from
his
hands
.
At
which
words
Cassianus
began
to
muster
up
within
his
brest
a
multitude
of
passions
,
untill
the
old
woman
turning
towards
him
told
him
,
that
presently
she
would
render
him
satisfied
also
:
wherefore
,
after
the
people
were
a
little
quieted
in
their
confused
murmur
,
she
thus
ended
her
story
:
But
now
said
she
to
unriddle
this
mystery
,
and
fully
to
performe
my
promise
,
I
must
let
know
,
that
Brisania
wat
not
child
to
your
late
deceased
Governour
,
but
daughter
to
worthy
Elizana
;
I
onely
using
that
fallacy
upon
the
death
of
the
other
,
because
I
feared
the
losse
to
my
Lord
would
have
proved
a
vexation
intollerable
,
since
he
wanted
children
to
inherit
his
fortune
and
honour
;
and
for
Elizana
,
I
supposed
the
crosse
would
not
appeare
so
great
,
in
respect
of
the
bountifulnesse
of
the
issue
which
the
gods
had
bestowed
upon
her
;
however
I
made
a
private
vow
to
my selfe
as
I
said
,
never
to
discover
this
mystery
,
untill
some
pressing
occasion
forced
from
me
the
declaration
,
aswell
to
retaine
Brisania
in
her
supposed
Fathers
possessions
,
as
to
take
from
their
Parents
all
jealousie
of
my
fraude
.
But
since
the
heavens
by
the
power
and
right
of
conquest
,
have
now
establish't
my
Lord
Saxanius
in
that
government
which
Brisania
did
intend
innocently
to
usurpe
,
and
that
his
noble
pretentions
to
her
love
deserve
her
best
entertainment
,
as
if
the
Gods
intended
a
perpetuall
unity
in
their
hearts
against
all
obstacles
,
I
hope
it
will
be
the
opinion
of
all
here
present
,
that
the
marriage
between
them
be
solemnized
instantly
in
the
Temple
;
and
the
rather
for
that
I
cannot
doubt
Prince
Cassianus
will
forbid
the
conjunction
,
since
nature
denies
him
the
capacity
of
such
a
happinesse
.
This
declaration
was
quickly
warranted
by
the
desires
of
all
the
people
with
loude
acclamations
,
so
that
Brisania
turning
about
to
Saxanius
with
a
blush
that
more
enflamed
his
joy
,
after
a
little
pawse
saluted
him
with
this
language
:
My
Lord
said
she
,
for
so
it
should
seeme
the
destinies
have
designed
you
against
all
difficulties
,
though
whether
I
shall
be
now
esteemed
worthy
in
your
vertuous
thoughts
to
give
you
that
Title
may
be
some
question
,
since
your
noble
addresses
formerly
received
not
those
ready
entertainements
they
merited
:
however
,
I
shall
endeavour
to
perswade
you
to
believe
that
the
heavens
have
had
a
secret
influence
whereby
the
better
to
unite
our selves
,
since
my
preposterous
affection
to
my
Brother
upon
small
grounds
endeavoured
something
to
obscure
your
perfections
in
my
apprehension
,
which
now
appeare
to
my
knowledge
in
a
most
full
and
affectionate
prospect
,
that
absolutely
delights
all
my
senses
.
And
with
that
,
as
if
she
had
been
too
liberall
in
her
language
,
like
a
Rose
over-prest
with
the
nights
dew
,
by
little
and
little
cast
downe
her
lovely
lookes
upon
the
ground
.
Saxanius
instead
of
delivering
his
judgement
concerning
Brisania's
plea
,
put
in
execution
his
intended
decree
by
a
gentle
kisse
upon
her
faire
lips
,
which
gave
the
people
sufficient
intelligence
of
his
thoughts
,
so
that
the
marriage
became
presently
solemnized
,
to
the
content
of
all
the
standers
by
,
but
more
specially
to
themselves
,
whose
happinesse
could
not
fully
be
apprehended
but
in
the
fruition
onely
.
And
this
Madam
,
I
say
,
is
the
delightfull
,
though
intricate
story
of
Cassianus
adventures
,
since
his
departure
out
of
Lydia
,
which
he
was
pleased
to
signifie
in
writing
under
his
own
hand
;
however
to
none
but
to
his
faithfull
friend
and
chiefest
counsellour
Dimogoras
.
But
now
that
I
have
entertained
your
eares
with
these
strange
though
pleasant
passages
;
as
I
may
say
,
seemingly
rather
miracles
,
then
accidents
,
I
shall
come
neerer
a
great
deale
to
your
concernments
:
This
intelligence
of
the
safety
of
the
Prince
,
you
must
know
,
enflamed
the
thoughts
of
Dimogoras
;
whereupon
he
began
to
consider
if
a
marriage
could
be
compassed
,
between
Cloria
the
Kings
daughter
and
Cassianus
,
it
would
undoubtedly
,
not
onely
strengthen
his
own
greatnesse
,
but
exceedingly
fortifie
all
manner
of
contentions
of
the
Senate
,
with
Euarchus
the
King
,
since
by
this
means
his
daughter
should
not
be
matched
to
any
forrain
Prince
,
that
might
give
her
father
assistance
;
but
rather
by
degrees
would
be
wrought
to
be
an
enemy
to
his
pretentions
and
desires
.
With
these
considerations
he
went
presently
to
the
Senate
,
whereby
to
make
them
acquainted
with
the
intelligence
he
had
received
.
To
this
purpose
,
being
sat
in
the
Councell
,
he
uttered
this
kind
of
speech
,
with
as
much
eloquence
as
his
naturall
roughnesse
,
and
want
of
education
could
deliver
.
My
Lords
,
said
he
,
as
it
is
most
evident
,
the
gods
have
hitherunto
prospered
our
attempts
in
a
most
admirable
manner
,
to
the
wonder
of
all
Asia
,
so
of
the
other
side
may
we
againe
behold
,
a
kind
of
miraculous
influence
depending
upon
those
accidents
,
signified
unto
you
by
Prince
Cassianus
Letters
:
These
things
being
considered
,
I
see
no
reason
,
nay
I
may
boldly
affirme
there
is
a
great
deale
of
piety
in
the
resolution
,
both
belonging
to
the
service
of
the
gods
,
as
also
towards
the
establishing
of
our
own
affaires
,
to
endeavour
all
waies
possible
,
to
unite
the
persons
and
affections
,
of
Cloria
the
Kings
daughter
,
and
Cassianus
the
advent'rous
Prince
,
in
such
indissolvable
ties
of
love
and
marriage
,
that
may
not
onely
render
them
happy
themselves
,
but
secure
us
from
all
feare
of
a
forraigne
conjunction
,
that
undoubtedly
would
disorder
(
if
not
destroy
)
that
work
we
have
already
wisely
begun
,
and
hope
shall
fortunately
end
in
this
Kingdome
.
For
my
part
,
I
must
confesse
,
I
doe
almost
tremble
yet
,
when
I
consider
in
how
great
a
hazzard
our
affaires
stood
,
before
your
Admirall
surprized
the
Princess
at
Pergame
;
for
that
the
alliance
intended
between
her selfe
and
Narcissus
,
could
not
have
been
other
than
ominous
;
when
as
of
the
other
side
,
we
are
most
assured
,
to
finde
Cassianus
upon
all
occasions
,
not
onely
a
furtherer
of
our
designes
,
but
a
lover
of
our
persons
.
Perhaps
you
may
be
a
little
startled
with
the
doubts
,
that
Cloria
will
scarce
be
brought
to
think
of
such
Nuptials
;
but
truly
these
are
meerly
frivolous
considerations
,
in
comparison
of
benefits
of
States
,
and
Kingdoms
;
wherefore
I
say
,
If
she
cannot
be
perswaded
to
yield
her
consent
,
by
the
influence
of
his
Courtship
,
she
must
be
compelled
by
your
power
and
authority
.
So
that
my
opinion
is
,
that
Cassianus
be
presently
sent
for
,
not
onely
to
put
in
execution
,
with
all
expedition
,
what
we
shall
determine
for
our
own
happinesse
,
and
the
Kingdomes
welfare
;
but
also
to
be
honoured
and
maintained
by
our
loves
and
affections
,
according
to
our
former
resolution
and
promises
.
Let
it
suffice
there
seemeth
already
them
sent
by
the
gods
for
their
good
)
yet
she
resolved
in
her
thoughts
to
enquire
after
the
party
and
his
interest
,
by
which
she
intended
to
lay
the
ground
of
those
Councels
she
would
use
.
To
this
purpose
,
after
some
few
daies
she
became
informed
,
that
he
was
a
young
Nobleman
of
Lyria
,
called
Creses
,
imployed
by
the
Senate
in
the
government
of
the
Countrey
about
the
Castle
,
which
made
her
also
observe
his
actions
,
whereby
she
might
learn
,
whether
it
were
a
new
instructed
duty
that
taught
him
better
obedience
to
the
Kings
service
then
formerly
;
or
whether
some
discontent
of
his
other
Lords
proceedings
at
Sardis
,
in
regard
of
his
own
person
,
caused
him
revengefully
to
put
off
his
trust
.
But
as
within
the
compasse
of
some
weeks
she
was
satisfied
it
was
neither
of
these
reasons
that
gave
him
an
appetite
to
leave
his
command
,
and
begin
a
new
loyalty
to
his
King
;
so
of
the
other
side
she
became
assured
in
her
opinion
,
that
his
secret
love
to
the
Princesse
Cloria
was
the
principall
cause
that
made
him
offer
so
acceptable
a
service
,
to
the
hazzard
of
his
own
life
;
and
with
this
knowledge
fell
into
many
considerations
with
her
Mistresse
,
whether
it
were
better
with
security
of
their
persons
,
still
to
remaine
in
the
Castle
,
where
they
were
under
the
jurisdiction
of
the
Senate
,
and
to
expect
the
vexations
of
Cassianus
importunity
upon
his
arrivall
,
as
Creses
had
informed
them
,
or
hazard
themselves
under
the
protection
of
the
new
lover
,
whose
disposition
and
intention
they
were
not
acquainted
withall
;
neverthelesse
,
after
long
debate
they
fell
upon
the
latter
,
which
was
rather
absolutely
to
trust
his
passion
,
then
expect
the
Senates
goodnesse
;
And
to
that
purpose
Roxana
told
Creses
in
the
Princesses
name
,
that
she
was
resolved
wholly
not
onely
to
relye
upon
his
fidelity
,
but
to
be
directed
in
her
journey
to
her
Father
by
his
care
;
which
gave
Creses
a
wor●●f
content
,
not
alone
that
he
was
thought
wo●●●●
of
so
great
a
confidence
,
but
by
this
meanes
he
should
free
his
apprehension
from
the
danger
of
Cassianus
courtship
;
so
that
within
a
weekes
space
he
provided
all
things
necessary
for
their
escape
:
whilst
in
the
meane
time
Cloria
pretended
a
sicknesse
that
caused
her
to
keep
her
chamber
,
whereby
no
suspition
of
her
flight
,
might
remaine
for
some
dayes
after
her
departure
,
as
Creses
did
of
important
businesse
,
which
called
him
to
a
necessary
attendance
at
Sardis
:
When
the
designed
night
came
that
they
were
to
begin
their
journey
which
was
expected
with
some
impatience
,
the
Princesse
Roxana
,
and
their
intrusted
dwarfe
,
the
only
attendants
they
would
use
for
feare
of
discovery
,
repaired
to
a
place
at
the
foote
of
the
Castle
hill
,
where
one
Sentinell
being
more
curious
then
the
rest
,
would
have
interrupted
their
passage
,
but
their
ready
knowledge
of
the
word
,
gave
him
a
quicke
discharge
,
and
so
consequently
set
them
free
to
take
their
Horses
,
that
were
provided
not
farre
off
by
Creses
care
,
who
was
there
also
attending
himselfe
to
mount
the
Princesse
and
the
other
company
:
But
scarce
had
the
cheerfull
morning
appeared
in
the
East
,
after
a
tedious
nights
travell
in
rough
and
unbeaten
wayes
,
when
they
arrived
at
an
even
plaine
,
that
not
onely
afforded
them
some
consolation
to
sweeten
their
past
inconvenience
,
but
gave
opportunity
to
Creses
,
reflecting
upon
his
owne
trust
,
and
enflamed
by
his
secret
love
to
use
this
language
to
the
Princesse
.
Madam
,
said
he
,
as
I
envy
not
the
Gods
happinesse
in
the
conversation
I
have
〈◊〉
to
enjoy
,
so
the
trust
that
is
committed
to
〈◊〉
,
deserves
a
diligence
beyond
expression
,
wherein
if
I
had
a
thousand
lives
they
were
all
too
few
to
be
imployed
in
such
a
service
;
yet
give
me
leave
to
say
without
profanation
of
your
sacred
selfe
,
that
love
is
the
onely
price
that
ought
to
purchase
your
person
by
an
honourable
pitty
,
which
cannot
be
wanting
where
there
are
so
many
other
admirable
perfections
;
for
since
none
can
merit
your
vertues
,
your
goodnesse
will
appeare
in
the
greatest
lustre
,
when
it
shall
be
seene
you
chuse
,
because
you
intend
absolutely
to
oblige
,
like
the
heavens
that
take
most
pleasure
in
forgiving
highest
offences
.
It
may
perhaps
be
esteemed
by
ignorant
apprehensions
,
a
kinde
of
an
equality
in
worth
,
when
Titles
are
united
;
but
you
know
that
darke
foyles
are
used
to
illustrate
bright
Diamonds
,
wherefore
let
not
honours
be
the
object
of
your
lookes
;
which
however
,
although
they
cannot
outshine
yours
,
yet
cettainly
the
clearnesse
of
your
beauty
will
best
appeare
when
others
are
removed
,
like
the
faire
Moone
when
the
Sunne
is
most
obscured
that
offends
by
his
too
much
violence
;
Flowers
seeme
more
delighfull
in
innocent
fields
,
then
in
stately
Gardens
;
and
christall
streames
are
plentifuller
replenished
with
variety
of
watry
inhabitants
,
wh●n
the
green
meadowes
give
them
boundes
,
rather
then
where
Marble
structures
enrich
their
aboade
;
then
kissing
her
hand
with
a
passionate
earnestnesse
,
he
bathed
her
white
glove
with
a
few
of
his
owne
Teares
,
that
quickly
gave
Cloria
Items
of
his
intentions
;
but
she
would
take
no
notice
of
his
discourse
being
unwilling
to
disquiet
her
protection
,
since
she
could
not
condiscend
to
his
desire
,
so
that
she
was
constrain'd
prettily
to
divert
the
occasion
by
calling
her
Governesse
to
the
communication
,
pretending
that
else
her
rigid
gravity
might
chide
them
both
for
their
dis-respect
;
when
Roxana
was
arrived
at
a
neerer
distance
,
the
Princesse
perceiving
her
to
be
much
troubled
,
if
not
altogether
tired
with
the
past
nights
travell
,
by
her
often
removing
her selfe
upon
her
Saddle
,
not
being
accustomed
to
many
such
exercises
,
after
she
had
bid
her
be
of
good
cheere
,
began
to
question
with
her
concerning
the
practice
and
imployment
of
her
youth
;
and
whether
or
no
women
in
those
dayes
did
use
to
ride
a
hunting
according
to
the
fashions
now
of
Lydia
?
faith
no
Madam
said
Roxana
,
in
those
times
maides
were
more
modestly
bred
then
to
exercise
such
hoyting
recreations
;
for
if
their
mothers
suffered
them
to
walke
a
turne
or
two
in
the
garden
,
after
they
had
performed
a
good
dayes
worke
upon
their
Samplers
,
and
of
holy
dayes
to
goe
eate
a
messe
of
Creame
in
some
honest
neighbours
house
,
it
was
esteemed
a
large
liberty
;
besides
there
was
a
carefull
provision
by
their
parents
,
that
no
men
of
any
sort
should
accompany
them
;
although
they
were
such
as
pretended
to
be
Suitors
,
and
the
conditions
of
marriage
already
agreed
upon
;
but
now
by
my
truly
there
is
nothing
but
private
courtship
,
and
publicke
love
with
continuall
divertizements
,
from
one
pleasure
to
another
;
so
that
young
girles
endeavour
nothing
more
,
then
to
become
bold
and
scandalous
:
nay
I
can
assure
you
Princesse
said
she
,
a
Maide
durst
not
so
much
as
smile
before
her
Father
and
Mother
,
scarce
looking
upon
their
woers
before
they
were
married
;
in
which
bashfull
posture
on
the
night
of
their
Nuptials
,
they
entertained
their
husbands
with
teares
onely
.
This
discourse
or
rather
passion
of
the
old
woman
,
proceeding
as
't
was
supposed
from
the
hard
going
of
her
horse
,
gave
Cloria
occasion
to
tell
her
in
a
gentle
smile
,
that
the
reason
why
they
did
not
practice
such
pastimes
,
was
because
they
wanted
good
horses
for
the
sport
,
and
Coaches
at
she
had
heard
were
not
then
in
use
:
good
horses
said
Roxana
,
I
cannot
tell
what
you
call
good
,
but
for
my
part
I
was
never
worse
carried
then
at
the
present
;
at
which
the
Princesse
began
to
laugh
out-right
,
since
she
had
so
directly
hit
upon
the
disease
of
her
Governesse
.
However
Creses
that
he
might
prevent
all
quarrells
told
her
,
that
since
she
found
hers
not
easie
,
she
should
ride
on
his
,
which
perhaps
would
better
please
her
,
although
he
protested
he
had
no
designe
but
to
accommodate
her
before
himselfe
;
whereupon
taking
her
downe
from
her
saddle
,
in
a
quarter
of
an
houres
time
made
the
exchange
,
though
the
labour
seemed
fruitlesse
;
for
the
old
woman
being
no
whit
amended
in
the
choyce
,
shewed
the
defect
proceeded
from
her
age
,
and
not
from
her
Steede
:
Neverthelesse
,
most
couragiously
(
though
she
did
sweat
for
the
businesse
)
she
arrived
at
the
Forrest
,
where
they
intended
to
repose
themselves
for
the
noone
season
,
that
required
some
shade
against
the
Suns
violence
;
Creses
chose
a
flourishing
Tree
for
the
Princesse
accommodation
,
which
contented
her
thoughts
as
well
as
the
richest
Canopy
of
State
in
her
fathers
Court
,
and
the
provision
that
the
dwarfe
had
brought
with
him
abundantly
satisfied
instead
of
other
curiosities
:
these
satisfactions
exacted
from
Cloria
another
necessary
duty
,
that
the
night
past
had
absolutely
debaured
her
of
,
which
was
shewed
by
the
gentle
closing
of
her
faire
eyes
from
the
dayes
light
;
whilst
in
the
meane
time
Roxana
had
conveniency
,
after
she
had
put
something
under
her
Ladies
head
,
to
retire
her selfe
under
another
tree
to
be
indulgent
also
to
her
owne
senses
.
But
Creses
whose
love
and
care
caused
him
to
be
a
diligent
Sentinell
over
the
Princesses
rest
,
afforded
him
also
the
happinesse
of
this
contemplation
,
in
which
faine
he
would
have
stollen
a
kisse
,
but
that
he
feared
the
heavens
would
have
revealed
the
theft
:
can
the
gods
(
thought
he
)
be
altogether
stupid
to
suffer
so
divine
a
creature
upon
earth
,
and
leave
their
own
habitation
barren
of
such
excellence
,
since
more
then
a
thousand
Cupids
are
ready
to
offer
sacrifices
upon
the
pure
Altar
of
her
faire
forehead
,
perfumed
by
the
incense
of
her
odoriferous
breath
?
can
these
two
illustrious
cherries
said
he
,
that
onely
kisse
one
another
,
because
they
cannot
meet
with
the
like
perfections
,
be
lesse
powerfull
then
to
invite
Iove
from
Olympus
to
taste
of
the
dainties
;
but
beholding
a
presumptuous
flye
boldly
to
entertain
it selfe
in
the
delicious
garden
of
her
face
,
where
mixt
Roses
and
Lillies
gave
it
both
nourishment
and
delight
,
notwithstanding
the
many
gentle
prohibitions
of
her
white
hand
,
he
began
passionately
to
exclame
against
the
rudenesse
of
the
creature
;
yet
when
he
saw
its
black
colour
and
curious
shape
served
instead
of
a
foyle
to
become
her
beauty
,
as
if
put
there
rather
by
art
then
nature
,
he
not
onely
let
the
silly
beast
alone
,
but
commended
his
industry
;
however
finding
her
sleeping
importunity
,
desired
something
earnestly
to
berid
of
that
troublesome
ornament
,
he
could
doe
no
lesse
then
contribute
his
assistance
,
and
hastily
endeavoured
to
chace
the
flye
from
that
paradise
,
where
it
wanted
neither
flowers
nor
exercise
;
at
which
the
Princesse
suddenly
wakened
with
a
demand
what
had
disturbed
her
in
her
rest
:
But
poore
Creses
durst
not
owne
the
disquiet
,
and
so
she
fell
asleep
againe
,
in
which
innocent
calme
she
remained
untill
Roxana's
confident
authority
made
her
know
,
it
was
time
to
prepare
for
the
afternoons
journey
;
and
this
injunction
was
sufficient
to
render
her
obedient
against
the
inticements
of
her
wearied
senses
.
Many
dayes
they
had
not
travelled
in
this
large
Forrest
,
to
seeke
out
obscure
wayes
to
prevent
surprize
,
since
they
supposed
they
should
hastily
be
pursued
if
not
encountered
by
some
of
the
Senates
Forces
,
lying
in
a
manner
every
night
,
either
in
a
poor
Cottage
,
or
in
the
open
aire
,
which
the
couragious
Princesse
underwent
with
an
admirable
fortitude
,
hoping
her
reward
at
last
should
be
not
onely
to
see
her
deare
Father
,
but
to
heare
some
newes
of
her
love
Narcissus
,
for
whose
sake
her
thoughts
were
chiefly
tormented
;
before
they
arrived
at
a
small
playn
encompassed
with
wood
,
which
the
more
flourished
,
because
Phaebus
had
not
so
absolute
a
dominion
in
that
place
as
elsewhere
.
At
the
farther
end
of
the
Plaine
upon
the
rising
of
a
little
hill
,
that
directed
its
view
towards
the
East
,
they
might
behold
a
house
;
though
not
of
any
appearing
capacity
,
to
containe
many
persons
:
but
long
they
had
not
contemplated
the
commodity
of
their
supposed
nights
lodging
,
ere
they
spyed
an
.
old
Father
with
his
booke
in
his
hand
,
sitting
under
a
Tree
,
which
gave
occasion
to
Creses
,
whilst
the
Princesse
and
Roxana
were
content
to
take
some
pleasure
in
that
solitude
,
to
present
himselfe
to
the
aged
man
,
aswell
to
be
informed
who
he
was
,
as
also
to
receive
some
benefit
by
his
assistance
.
Wherefore
after
they
had
civilly
saluted
one
another
,
and
that
Creses
had
told
him
he
conducted
certaine
distressed
Ladies
towards
Philadelphia
,
where
their
friends
remained
in
the
Kings
warres
,
and
also
that
they
wanted
for
the
present
accommodation
of
lodging
for
the
approaching
night
,
the
old
man
seemed
not
onely
willing
to
pleasure
him
in
any
thing
,
but
of
the
sudden
burst
forth
into
abundance
of
Teares
and
complaints
,
as
it
should
seem
at
the
remembrance
of
Euarchus
and
his
fortunes
,
which
made
Creses
the
more
passionate
to
be
informed
of
his
condition
,
and
to
that
purpose
desired
him
that
he
would
be
pleased
to
let
him
know
what
accident
had
driven
him
into
that
solitary
course
of
life
;
so
both
seating
themselves
upon
a
little
rising
hillock
,
because
the
old
Father
was
not
capable
of
a
long
discourse
without
some
repose
,
he
uttered
this
language
:
Sir
said
he
,
since
you
will
needs
be
acquainted
with
my
fortunes
,
you
must
know
in
my
youth
I
was
bred
by
the
carefull
industry
of
my
parents
a
scholler
,
which
profession
brought
me
first
in
credit
with
my
Prince
Euarchus
Father
,
who
was
himselfe
not
onely
learned
,
but
exceedingly
loved
the
conversation
of
those
that
were
possessed
with
such
qualities
,
which
at
the
first
joyned
with
the
ambition
of
my
owne
nature
,
made
me
a
Courtier
,
and
that
vocation
as
I
thought
,
exacted
from
me
a
diligence
to
preferment
,
however
,
honours
were
but
moderately
conferred
upon
me
,
during
the
life
of
the
old
King
;
though
after
his
death
his
sonne
Euarchus
,
whether
mistaking
my
ability
or
being
in
love
with
my
fidelity
,
showred
downe
so
many
favours
upon
me
,
that
I
not
onely
in
a
short
time
,
became
chiefe
Flamin
of
all
Lydia
,
but
in
a
manner
governed
the
whole
State
under
the
King
,
which
heaped
on
me
sufficient
envy
;
and
the
rather
since
I
conferred
many
offices
possessed
formerly
by
the
Nobility
upon
those
of
my
owne
profession
,
whereby
the
better
to
strengthen
my
party
,
and
dignifie
my
condition
:
In
this
posture
I
remained
untill
the
great
Senate
that
now
rules
in
Lydia
chaced
me
from
Court
and
Common-weale
,
which
made
me
seek
out
this
private
habitation
,
untill
the
fa●●
of
Euarchus
government
shall
be
so
determined
that
I
may
againe
returne
to
his
service
,
or
resolve
to
end
my
life
in
this
solitude
;
and
with
that
wept
,
which
for
some
time
continued
them
both
in
a
pensive
silence
,
untill
Creses
importuned
the
aged
father
to
put
off
his
sorrow
;
or
at
leastwise
suffer
him
to
be
a
sharer
with
him
in
his
griefe
,
by
letting
him
know
more
particularly
the
causes
:
this
gave
occasion
to
the
old
man
to
tell
him
that
many
Souldiers
were
newly
arrived
in
the
Forrest
to
shelter
themselves
by
the
protection
of
the
woods
,
from
the
rage
of
their
persecutors
,
who
followed
them
after
a
Battell
that
was
lately
fought
between
Thyasmus
and
the
Senates
Forces
,
where
both
he
and
almost
his
whole
Army
being
surprized
by
an
Ambuscado
of
the
enemy
,
had
lost
the
day
to
the
absolute
destruction
of
the
Kings
affairs
,
and
an
utter
undoing
as
't
was
believed
of
all
his
friends
,
since
Euarchus
expects
every
houre
in
person
to
be
besieged
in
Philadelphia
.
This
unexpected
newes
did
more
then
trouble
Creses
,
not
onely
because
it
did
in
a
manner
destroy
his
owne
hopes
that
seemed
to
depend
upon
the
successe
of
the
journey
he
had
in
hand
,
which
was
to
present
the
Princesse
Cloria
an
acceptable
offering
to
her
Father
,
but
in
denying
them
all
meanes
to
avoid
a
dangerous
consequence
,
since
they
neither
could
advance
towards
their
first
intention
,
for
doubt
of
interruption
in
the
passage
by
scattering
Troopes
of
the
Senates
garrisons
,
nor
durst
retire
back
againe
to
the
Castle
for
feare
of
being
cruelly
punished
for
the
escape
:
so
that
he
was
●orced
to
make
the
old
father
acquainted
with
the
personall
presence
of
the
Princesse
Cloria
,
and
the
rather
since
he
could
no
way
intrust
his
fidelity
,
but
of
the
contrary
by
that
knowledge
procure
a
reception
of
her
in
his
house
untill
his
owne
returne
from
Philadelphia
,
whither
he
intended
secretly
to
go
,
that
he
might
the
better
be
informed
of
the
Kings
condition
,
and
by
that
direction
more
conveniently
secure
the
Princesse
Cloria
either
by
flight
into
some
forraigne
Country
,
or
deliver
her
person
into
the
protection
of
her
owne
Father
as
he
had
promised
:
yet
he
conjured
the
Flamine
,
after
he
had
layed
open
unto
him
his
thoughts
,
intentions
,
and
desires
,
not
to
discover
the
least
syllable
of
these
disasterous
accidents
to
the
Princesse
,
for
feare
of
disquieting
her
gentle
bosome
with
misfortunes
,
no
care
of
hers
could
remedy
;
though
he
determined
to
perswade
her
to
be
contented
to
dispence
with
his
owne
absence
for
some
time
,
to
performe
pretended
necessary
service
for
her
safety
.
When
they
had
sufficiently
digested
these
resolutions
and
agreements
,
they
both
rose
from
their
seats
to
present
themselves
to
Cloria
;
the
Princesse
at
their
approach
entertained
the
Flamine
,
with
the
same
affection
she
conceived
to
be
due
to
one
,
that
had
beene
formerly
honoured
by
her
Fathers
favours
;
whilst
he
with
Teares
in
his
eyes
,
presently
conducted
her
and
the
rest
of
the
company
to
his
small
habitation
;
excusing
notwithstanding
in
a
courtly
phrase
,
the
poorenesse
of
the
welcome
she
was
to
expect
:
but
long
she
had
not
enjoyed
the
pleasing
security
of
that
retirement
,
before
she
was
overtaken
with
a
most
horrid
and
insolent
treason
in
this
sort
.
The
Souldiers
that
cowardly
were
fled
from
the
battell
,
as
the
Flamine
had
related
to
Creses
,
and
were
retired
within
the
Fortifications
of
those
woods
,
for
their
better
security
against
their
pursuers
,
understanding
by
some
intelligence
that
the
Princesse
Cloria
was
lodged
privately
within
the
old
Fathers
house
,
began
to
consider
,
that
if
they
returned
her
back
again
to
the
Senate
at
Sardis
,
from
whence
they
understood
she
was
escaped
,
it
would
prove
so
acceptable
,
that
they
should
not
onely
thereby
purchase
all
their
pardons
,
but
probably
many
of
the
chiefe
actors
might
receive
considerable
rewards
.
This
opinion
they
no
sooner
entertained
in
their
wicked
and
disloyall
breasts
,
but
the
execution
followed
with
so
much
violence
,
that
they
not
onely
seized
Cloria
and
Roxana
,
but
also
carried
with
them
the
old
Flamine
,
as
a
full
period
to
their
supream
villany
,
notwithstanding
all
the
perswasions
could
be
used
towards
them
;
but
the
gods
hating
the
traytors
,
though
the
Senate
made
use
of
the
treason
,
all
they
could
procure
for
this
acceptable
service
,
was
to
have
their
lives
saved
,
upon
condition
,
they
should
within
ten
daies
depart
the
Kingdome
;
or
else
,
to
suffer
present
death
wheresoever
the
could
be
found
after
the
limited
time
,
which
●●used
them
to
curse
the
very
day
of
their
births
.
However
this
just
sentence
was
a
deserving
reward
for
their
offences
,
yet
poore
Cloria
enjoyed
no
comfort
in
her
captivity
,
but
rather
her
crosses
were
augmented
by
the
arrivall
of
Cassianus
:
one
day
when
she
was
retired
into
the
innermost
part
of
her
lodgings
,
with
an
intention
to
contribute
a
large
proportion
to
her
sorrows
,
esteeming
it
the
best
conversation
she
could
possesse
in
these
sad
times
,
she
was
of
a
sudden
saluted
by
the
Prince
,
who
conceived
his
power
gave
him
a
sufficient
warrant
for
any
intrusion
;
where
,
after
he
had
continued
his
courtship
with
a
few
complements
,
he
strived
to
protest
his
affection
,
with
all
the
reasons
that
the
same
religion
,
neernesse
of
kindred
,
and
his
vow'd
service
to
her
father
could
pretend
unto
;
which
pluckt
from
the
Princesse
this
sharp
and
sudden
reply
,
contrary
to
her
nature
.
Cozen
,
said
she
,
although
your
own
thoughts
can
best
witnesse
the
Religion
you
hold
,
yet
give
me
leave
to
tell
you
,
that
my
knowledge
receives
no
satisfaction
by
your
profession
,
since
you
violently
seem
to
runne
along
with
that
current
,
that
seeks
by
all
means
possible
to
destroy
the
Lydian
rights
,
in
taking
away
the
Flamins
out
of
the
Temples
,
the
onely
pretended
occasion
now
of
these
warrs
between
my
father
and
his
Senate
,
in
which
customes
I
have
been
brought
up
from
my
cradle
.
Again
,
for
your
blood
,
I
must
confesse
it
is
of
so
neere
kindred
with
mine
,
that
I
wonder
you
doe
not
bl●●●
to
see
me
suffer
an
injurious
captivity
,
without
revenge
or
assistance
;
much
more
,
to
be
a
principall
cause
of
my
imprisonment
,
since
your
preposterous
affections
adds
flames
to
the
Senates
cruelty
;
when
as
my
love
in
all
justice
should
rather
be
perswaded
then
compelled
.
And
lastly
,
concerning
the
service
you
professe
to
my
father
,
as
I
would
be
glad
to
see
some
effects
thereof
by
reall
actions
,
instead
of
ayerie
,
and
perhaps
of
false
professions
;
so
of
the
other
side
,
I
must
desire
you
to
remember
,
that
Prince
Cassianus
was
alwaies
entertained
,
&
cherished
by
King
Euarchus
,
with
all
humanity
and
bounty
,
when
his
regall
power
was
not
diminished
:
Wherefore
in
my
opinion
,
you
have
no
reason
to
side
with
that
faction
,
that
strives
to
pluck
the
Diadem
from
the
browes
of
him
and
his
posterity
;
in
which
number
I
have
,
or
ought
to
have
a
confiderable
interest
.
Cassianus
,
after
he
had
received
this
bitter
reply
,
with
a
certain
pale
,
if
not
guilty
look
,
rested
for
some
time
,
as
it
were
frozen
in
a
kind
of
despaire
,
not
being
able
to
utter
one
syllable
in
defence
of
himselfe
,
against
such
desperate
language
,
as
he
thought
delivered
by
a
heavenly
Oracle
:
yet
at
last
,
lest
he
might
seem
altogether
conquered
by
the
force
of
her
reasons
,
when
it
was
impossible
her
sweet
words
could
wound
,
but
with
the
darts
of
Cupid
,
he
fearfully
returned
this
answer
,
which
reached
her
eares
,
but
not
her
beliefe
.
Madam
,
said
he
,
for
the
differences
in
Religion
between
your
father
and
his
Senate
,
I
esteem
them
no
way
essentiall
;
consisting
onely
in
matter
of
ceremony
,
which
with
a
little
labour
may
easily
be
reconciled
to
both
their
advantages
.
And
for
that
bloud
of
yours
,
that
so
much
honoured
my
birth
,
I
could
wish
to
have
an
occasion
to
let
it
out
from
nourishing
my
heart
,
whereby
to
doe
you
the
least
service
;
though
your
release
cannot
fall
within
the
capacity
of
my
power
,
since
it
is
the
command
of
the
whole
Kingdome
that
restraines
your
liberty
;
neverthelesse
without
any
thought
of
injury
intended
to
your
person
:
for
,
if
I
believed
the
Senate
had
any
determination
to
diminish
,
much
lesse
to
deprive
your
Royall
father
of
those
flowers
which
belong
justly
to
his
glorious
Crown
,
I
should
be
so
farre
from
countenancing
of
their
endeavours
,
that
I
would
contend
with
all
difficulties
to
teare
the
remembrance
of
their
intentions
from
the
face
of
the
earth
;
however
,
I
cannot
deny
,
but
I
meerly
subsist
by
their
extraordinary
bounty
,
since
I
have
lost
the
possession
of
mine
own
Countrey
,
that
should
maintain
my
condition
.
At
which
words
the
Princesse
with
a
disdainfull
smile
gave
him
a
dissembled
thankes
,
accompanied
by
so
sweet
and
becomming
a
scorn
,
that
Cassianus
seemed
more
bitter
at
her
silence
then
by
the
dispute
;
though
Roxana
could
not
chuse
but
take
her
Mistresses
part
,
and
consequently
made
this
choloricke
answer
to
that
little
he
had
said
in
his
owne
defence
.
My
Lord
said
she
,
I
cannot
but
wonder
if
the
points
in
Religion
be
of
no
greater
difference
then
you
speak
of
,
that
the
Senate
should
disturbe
the
quiet
State
of
Lydia
with
so
much
bloud
and
slaughter
,
to
compell
Euarchus
to
change
the
government
,
when
it
is
evident
he
desires
but
to
maintaine
the
profession
of
his
Father
without
alteration
;
nay
rather
me
thinks
it
would
have
beene
greater
markes
of
their
piety
,
to
have
given
way
to
the
Kings
humour
in
so
small
a
thing
of
consequence
,
then
to
have
bought
the
alteration
at
so
deare
and
dangerous
a
price
.
And
for
the
latter
part
of
your
discourse
,
I
shall
onely
put
you
in
minde
,
that
as
your
Uncles
love
and
bounty
never
failed
you
,
when
he
was
in
a
flourishing
prosperity
,
so
you
may
doe
nobly
to
pay
his
actions
past
,
and
his
necessities
present
,
with
testimonies
of
gratitude
and
duty
.
Cassianus
although
he
vowed
to
the
uttermost
of
his
power
,
he
did
and
would
render
him
his
best
endeavours
,
yet
he
quickly
changed
the
subject
of
the
discourse
,
pretending
that
love
at
the
present
,
was
more
sutable
to
his
disposition
then
hate
,
and
therefore
began
againe
to
court
the
Princesse
with
fresh
complements
:
however
when
he
found
with
a
neglectfull
silence
she
onely
seemed
to
heare
his
words
,
without
a
will
to
understand
the
matter
,
as
if
she
were
lesse
pleased
with
those
smiles
then
with
the
Senates
frownes
,
he
abruptly
quitted
the
roome
with
a
kinde
of
a
darke
clowde
in
his
lookes
:
within
two
dayes
after
this
encounter
the
old
Flamine
,
was
brought
before
the
great
Senate
to
receive
his
tryall
,
not
onely
for
having
been
in
his
court
imployments
a
disturber
of
the
State
as
't
was
pretended
by
his
ill
councell
to
Euarchus
,
but
at
the
present
for
being
an
instrument
to
convey
the
Princesse
out
of
the
Senates
protection
,
and
conceale
her
person
in
his
house
,
whereby
to
marry
her
to
some
forraigne
power
that
might
indanger
the
prosperity
of
Lydia
.
Which
accusations
were
so
spightfully
alleadged
against
him
,
with
such
prejudicate
resolutions
for
his
ruine
,
that
the
old
man
had
not
force
enough
,
to
sustaine
the
waight
of
the
prosecution
,
though
he
exprest
a
competent
courage
in
his
defence
,
and
so
was
condemned
publikely
to
lose
his
head
upon
a
Scaffold
in
the
view
of
all
the
people
,
who
at
leastwise
appeared
contented
if
not
pleased
at
the
novelty
.
But
Cloria
when
she
heard
of
this
sudden
,
and
as
she
conceived
horrid
determination
,
was
possessed
with
a
noble
compassion
,
not
onely
considering
the
old
man
to
have
been
a
most
faithfull
servant
to
her
Father
,
but
unfortunate
by
this
intended
Tragedy
,
onely
for
entertaining
her
at
his
house
,
as
a
testimony
of
his
loyalty
to
the
royall
Family
,
which
wrought
in
her
gentle
soule
divers
perturbations
:
First
she
considered
,
that
if
he
suffered
,
it
would
be
some
staine
to
her
honour
,
since
he
appeared
rather
to
be
a
Martyr
for
her
,
then
for
himselfe
;
which
obligation
she
was
unwilling
to
undergoe
without
some
testimonies
of
a
supreame
gratitude
;
yet
then
when
she
reflected
upon
that
submission
she
must
use
to
beg
his
life
of
the
Senate
,
she
thought
the
sacrifice
of
an
old
Flamine
,
who
e're
long
could
not
chuse
but
be
an
offering
to
the
earth
,
would
not
prejudice
his
owne
happinesse
,
much
lesse
taxe
her
of
ill
nature
;
And
therefore
became
halfe
perswaded
to
let
him
runne
his
last
period
with
glory
,
rather
then
become
a
supplyant
to
her
Fathers
Subjects
for
mercy
:
yet
after
much
contestation
with
her selfe
,
the
vertuous
Princesse
fell
upon
this
apprehension
,
that
she
in
a
manner
became
the
author
of
ill
,
by
omitting
that
good
she
had
power
to
doe
,
and
by
that
meanes
should
deserve
the
worlds
censure
:
so
that
pitty
,
gratitude
,
and
religion
,
seemed
to
contend
with
courage
,
honour
,
and
disdaine
,
till
at
last
she
flew
to
this
resolution
,
to
send
for
Cassianus
,
and
conjure
him
by
the
hopes
of
his
desired
love
,
to
be
so
farre
an
intercessor
in
the
poore
Flamins
behalfe
,
as
to
preserve
him
from
destraction
by
his
power
or
interest
;
though
againe
when
she
entered
into
consideration
what
a
jealous
scruple
the
request
might
raise
in
Narcissus
thoughts
,
if
ever
he
should
come
to
know
of
the
action
,
it
almost
destroyed
the
piousnesse
of
her
intention
:
neverthelesse
she
called
Roxana
,
and
wisht
her
in
her
name
to
fetch
Cassianus
to
speake
with
her
,
since
her
resolutions
were
not
long
to
be
protracted
,
if
she
had
a
will
they
should
prove
effectuall
;
yet
as
the
old
woman
was
going
out
of
the
doore
to
performe
her
message
,
she
suddenly
commanded
her
backe
againe
,
labouring
as
it
were
in
her
inconstant
constancy
,
untill
Roxana
her self
being
displeased
with
her
fruitlesse
irresolutions
,
at
length
went
without
her
leave
.
When
Cassianus
came
,
he
found
the
Princesse
seated
not
onely
in
a
darke
chamber
,
but
invironed
with
those
mourning
Curtaines
about
her
bed
,
which
she
had
caused
to
be
hung
up
since
her
last
imprisonment
,
as
testimonies
of
the
discontented
State
she
conceived
her selfe
in
:
when
Roxana
had
informed
her
of
the
Princes
presence
to
attend
her
pleasure
,
after
she
had
with
a
low
voyce
desired
him
to
sit
downe
in
a
chaire
neere
her
,
she
used
this
discourse
unto
him
.
Cousin
said
she
,
is
it
possible
you
can
thinke
,
that
the
bload
of
the
poore
and
aged
Flamine
may
be
so
acceptable
an
offering
to
the
gods
,
as
to
make
them
thereby
more
propitious
to
your
desires
?
or
doe
you
believe
,
that
my
love
which
you
seeme
to
hope
for
,
will
be
perswaded
easily
by
the
cruelty
of
so
horrid
a
sacrifice
?
if
you
meane
to
threaten
instead
of
intreaing
,
perhaps
you
may
please
your
owne
nature
,
but
never
I
can
assure
you
,
compell
my
liking
,
since
I
finde
in
my
soule
so
much
courage
yet
left
,
notwithstanding
all
my
misfortunes
,
as
not
to
give
away
my
affections
to
one
that
hath
merited
so
much
just
hate
from
me
.
Certainely
you
are
mistaken
to
thinke
Cypres
branches
are
fit
ornaments
to
become
a
marriage
bed
,
for
the
many
examples
in
that
kinde
have
beene
alwayes
prodigious
;
can
you
flatter
so
farre
your
owne
imagination
,
as
to
apprehend
the
slaughter
of
my
friends
,
and
slaughtered
chiefly
for
my
service
,
can
create
lesse
effects
in
me
,
then
a
revenge
when
I
shall
have
power
to
execute
it
according
to
my
will
,
upon
those
that
have
occasioned
my
displeasure
?
It
should
be
strange
they
should
expect
to
be
entertained
in
my
bosome
,
that
have
spightfully
procured
my
disgracefull
discontent
.
No
Cousin
,
assure
your selfe
,
these
are
not
the
wayes
to
captivate
a
Virgins
gentle
heart
,
or
to
trust
protestations
of
such
a
Suitor
,
that
wanted
not
hate
in
the
highest
professions
of
his
love
.
Cassianus
after
he
had
heard
these
words
from
the
Princesse
,
hastily
without
any
reply
at
all
tooke
his
leave
;
which
not
onely
gave
occasion
of
many
conjectures
both
to
Cloria
and
Roxana
,
but
also
of
some
discourses
that
produced
hopes
and
feares
,
untill
within
three
houres
of
his
departure
,
he
againe
returned
into
the
Princesse
Chamber
,
with
a
reprieve
for
the
old
mans
life
,
signed
by
the
hands
of
the
Senate
;
though
with
this
condition
,
that
she
must
be
pleased
to
follow
the
direction
of
the
whole
Kingdome
in
her
marriage
,
however
Cassianus
vowed
by
the
heavens
,
he
imployed
all
his
power
to
have
procured
it
absolute
.
Cloria
notwithstanding
she
was
not
well
satisfied
with
the
restriction
,
yet
she
was
pleased
with
the
pardon
,
and
presently
sent
it
by
Roxana
to
the
officers
that
had
the
custody
of
the
old
Flamine
,
whilst
in
the
meane
time
she
conceived
some
dissembled
satisfaction
was
necessary
,
that
he
might
continue
still
his
begun
courtesies
to
the
aged
father
;
withall
to
possesse
him
with
the
knowledge
of
the
impossibilities
that
hindred
the
progresse
of
his
love
,
whereby
he
might
be
lesse
violent
in
pressing
the
Senate
to
the
accomplishment
of
his
desires
;
and
the
rather
she
fell
upon
this
resolution
,
for
that
Narcissus
absence
secured
him
from
all
danger
by
underhand
practises
,
though
her selfe
could
not
be
confident
of
his
safety
,
since
she
had
heard
nothing
from
him
;
which
consideration
at
the
present
drew
from
her
faire
eyes
some
teares
before
she
used
these
wordes
to
Casstanus
:
Worthy
Cousin
said
she
,
(
for
so
I
will
now
call
you
,
since
I
finde
your
words
reall
,
and
your
love
noble
)
if
the
Gods
did
give
me
the
possibility
of
being
your
wife
,
I
should
a
great
deale
rather
,
declare
my selfe
perswaded
to
the
choyce
by
your
owne
vertues
,
then
by
the
Senates
wisedome
,
since
the
interest
of
a
kingdome
is
not
to
be
put
in
the
ballance
with
the
unity
of
affection
;
the
one
proceeding
onely
from
forced
reasons
,
that
last
no
longer
then
the
motives
have
power
by
the
operation
of
private
ends
,
when
the
other
arising
from
the
secret
influence
of
the
heavens
,
engraves
a
perpetuall
affection
in
the
heart
,
not
to
be
removed
by
humane
Tyranny
.
Wherefore
I
say
,
interests
of
Crownes
cannot
contribute
any
thing
to
the
felicity
of
Nuptialls
,
however
sometimes
they
pretend
false
shewes
to
cover
hidden
discontents
,
and
so
by
that
meanes
conzens
the
world
into
a
beliefe
of
what
the
married
couple
never
enjoy
,
of
the
contrary
enduring
millions
of
concealed
torments
,
that
are
increased
in
violence
when
they
burst
forth
like
imprisoned
flames
,
which
by
accidents
procure
their
owne
liberty
:
Therefore
I
say
,
nay
I
will
boldly
professe
the
undergoing
the
punishment
of
a
thousand
deaths
,
before
I
be
ever
compelled
to
marry
by
the
prescription
of
earthly
respects
,
much
lesse
be
commanded
to
take
any
for
my
husband
,
that
hath
not
really
perswaded
my
judgement
,
or
absolutely
wrought
upon
my
fancy
;
let
it
suffice
your
perfections
carry
with
them
more
powerfullnesse
in
my
consideration
,
then
the
Senates
desires
doe
waight
in
my
understanding
,
though
I
should
be
sorry
to
chuse
rashly
,
or
to
be
guided
wholly
by
mine
owne
opinions
;
which
is
enough
to
let
you
see
my
unconquered
,
and
I
hope
pure
love
cannot
be
constrained
,
although
my
deare
life
pay
the
ransome
of
my
seeming
wilfulnesse
:
for
though
Tyranny
may
shut
up
my
weake
body
within
strong
Walles
,
untill
the
just
gods
punish
the
wickednesse
,
yet
my
resolved
soul
will
be
free
to
make
election
of
death
,
or
life
,
as
the
occasion
shall
be
presented
;
so
that
as
your
actions
have
changed
already
my
beliefe
of
your
intentions
;
doe
not
againe
change
your
actions
,
that
I
become
of
an
other
minde
,
wherein
you
will
but
lose
honour
instead
of
gaining
love
;
and
that
losse
perhaps
may
make
you
uncapable
of
all
other
fortunes
;
it
is
enough
,
I
valew
your
bloud
,
I
esteem
your
person
,
and
love
your
vertues
;
however
I
cannot
be
yours
in
possession
as
long
as
Narcissus
lives
;
and
with
those
words
wept
againe
,
as
at
her
former
apprehensions
of
his
safety
,
which
continued
her
in
a
silence
,
untill
Cassianus
reply
gave
her
thoughts
new
matter
to
work
upon
:
Madam
said
he
,
as
I
cannot
but
be
perswaded
,
though
unwillingly
by
your
powerfull
and
excellent
Rhetoricke
,
yet
give
me
leave
to
tell
you
,
that
I
understand
not
your
conclusion
,
since
you
have
beene
pleased
to
say
in
your
discourse
,
that
as
long
as
Narcissus
lives
you
cannot
be
mine
;
a
choyce
I
must
confesse
,
that
the
gods
have
never
to
this
houre
revealed
unto
me
,
since
at
my
leaving
of
Lydia
,
a
match
of
a
farre
greater
dignity
in
Titles
,
seemed
to
be
the
obstacle
that
destroyed
my
hopes
,
and
so
consequently
all
motions
I
could
make
of
my
secret
love
:
but
however
,
if
my
ears
have
not
much
deceived
my
knowledge
,
I
have
heard
it
generally
reported
,
that
some
accident
many
moneths
since
hath
deprived
Narcissus
not
onely
of
the
share
you
pretend
he
hath
in
your
affection
,
but
also
of
all
the
claime
he
can
expect
in
this
world
.
If
it
have
said
Cloria
,
your
pretentions
are
the
neerer
;
and
with
that
fell
a
weeping
again
so
bitterly
that
Cassianus
could
not
chuse
but
accompany
her
in
her
griefe
;
but
after
some
time
that
his
thoughts
had
liberty
to
enter
into
consideration
both
of
the
Princesses
words
and
of
his
owne
concernment
,
scarce
yet
believing
her
relation
,
he
told
her
,
that
he
had
no
reason
to
claime
the
interest
of
another
;
yet
if
Narcissus
were
dead
,
he
hoped
his
love
and
service
should
expect
the
next
place
in
her
affection
:
and
with
that
parted
from
her
,
with
an
intention
to
make
a
more
particular
enquiry
,
into
the
truth
of
the
intelligence
,
which
afforded
the
Princesse
a
kinde
of
a
calme
for
the
present
,
that
contented
her
thoughts
.
And
this
calm
having
made
her
discontents
something
tolerable
,
she
was
perswaded
one
afternoon
by
her
Governess
,
to
take
some
little
delight
or
recreation
,
in
a
green
Meadow
within
the
limits
of
her
imprisonment
,
that
usually
was
not
frequented
by
strangers
,
where
a
River
in
the
midst
divided
the
field
by
a
seeming
equall
arbitration
;
which
afforded
a
kind
of
a
sad
entertainment
to
the
Princesse
,
whilst
Roxana
was
perswaded
also
by
her
many
solicitous
thoughts
,
to
search
out
solitary
walkes
in
the
neighbouring
woods
,
for
the
exercise
of
her
contemplation
:
To
this
purpose
Cloria
sitting
down
by
the
Brook
side
,
supporting
in
the
interim
her
faire
cheeks
by
her
white
hand
,
whilst
her
knee
underpropped
both
,
as
a
rich
foundation
that
nature
had
created
,
for
the
establishment
of
a
most
noble
building
,
her
fancy
was
carried
as
it
were
with
a
stedfast
melancholly
to
behold
the
running
streame
,
that
represented
to
her
troubled
imagination
,
her
own
inconstant
fate
,
that
had
formerly
afforded
her
some
moments
of
happinesse
,
in
the
conversation
of
her
deare
Narcissus
,
whom
now
she
was
not
sure
ever
to
enjoy
againe
,
which
by
a
quick
course
seemed
to
hasten
to
the
Sea
to
be
drowned
in
that
vast
confusion
,
as
her
past
delight
was
buried
in
her
Fathers
misfortunes
and
her
own
.
And
as
she
was
sending
also
her
teares
along
with
the
course
of
the
River
into
the
man
Ocean
,
to
be
confounded
in
the
multitude
of
those
rude
waters
,
of
a
sudden
she
saw
a
Pilgrim
to
travers
the
Meadow
,
as
if
his
ignorance
in
those
parts
had
rendred
him
altogether
unskilfull
in
the
wayes
:
But
the
Princesse
being
yet
fuller
of
charity
then
sorrow
,
dispenced
for
the
present
with
her
griefe
,
to
give
him
some
instruction
;
and
to
that
purpose
calling
him
to
her
,
began
to
question
with
him
about
his
name
and
businesse
:
The
Pilgrim
in
a
kind
of
amazed
reply
told
her
,
that
as
his
name
scarce
deserved
any
remembrance
amongst
those
that
enjoyed
happy
conditions
,
by
reason
of
his
many
misfortunes
,
so
for
his
businesse
,
he
should
be
loath
to
impart
it
to
any
,
before
it
did
reach
the
eares
of
the
Princesse
Cloria
to
whom
it
was
directed
,
whose
aboad
as
he
was
informed
was
not
farre
off
that
place
.
Truly
answered
the
Princesse
if
you
meane
that
happy
condition
by
my selfe
,
you
are
as
much
mistaken
in
your
opinion
as
you
were
in
your
way
;
however
perhaps
I
may
prove
so
fortunate
to
your
intention
,
as
to
helpe
you
to
the
speech
of
that
Lady
you
mention
,
although
I
must
tell
you
,
this
passage
is
not
open
to
all
travellers
,
being
onely
kept
for
the
Princesse
private
recreation
,
and
such
company
as
are
confined
with
her
in
the
Castle
:
At
which
words
the
poor
Pilgrim
fell
upon
his
knees
to
aske
pardon
for
his
fault
,
though
he
protested
he
was
altogether
ignorant
that
any
prohibition
,
had
forwarned
passage
into
those
private
walkes
reserved
for
the
Princesse
pleasure
;
however
his
journey
into
Lydia
was
chiefly
intended
to
her
presence
.
The
Princesse
quickly
commanded
him
to
rise
,
assuring
him
,
that
as
the
limitation
of
those
fields
did
not
belong
wholly
to
her
jurisdiction
,
she
being
her selfe
a
prisoner
also
under
authority
,
so
if
she
were
an
absolute
commandresse
(
as
he
did
imagine
)
she
was
so
well
acquainted
with
the
reverence
due
to
his
sacred
habit
,
that
his
free
absolution
would
soone
have
been
procured
at
her
hands
.
At
which
words
the
Pilgrim
began
to
weep
,
and
notwithstanding
her
earnest
intreaty
,
would
by
no
meanes
rise
from
the
ground
where
he
kneeled
,
which
made
Cloria
wonder
,
though
not
more
at
the
businesse
then
at
his
passionate
carriage
.
Wherefore
,
after
some
few
circumstances
,
finding
no
importunity
of
hers
was
able
to
remove
him
from
his
setled
humility
,
she
told
him
she
was
the
Lady
to
whom
the
intention
of
his
travels
was
directed
.
When
the
Pilgrim
had
received
this
information
,
he
beseeched
her
a
new
to
pardon
his
rude
errour
,
since
as
he
said
,
being
lately
come
out
of
Syria
,
he
could
not
be
enformed
of
the
dignity
of
her
person
,
not
having
any
attendants
about
her
to
instruct
his
knowledge
;
and
then
wept
againe
as
if
his
businesse
had
been
nothing
else
,
but
meer
expressions
of
sorrow
;
untill
at
last
having
wiped
his
eyes
with
a
Handkerchiefe
hanging
at
his
girdle
,
he
entertained
the
Princesse
with
this
language
:
Most
vertuous
Princesse
said
he
,
be
pleased
to
know
,
that
it
was
my
fortune
to
be
in
the
City
of
Tyre
,
when
young
Narcissus
was
brought
into
the
Towne
mortally
wounded
by
a
ship
of
the
same
Towne
,
where
by
the
courtesie
of
the
Captaine
he
was
soon
provided
of
convenient
lodgings
for
his
repose
,
and
an
assembly
desired
of
the
best
Physicians
of
the
place
for
his
cure
,
although
his
name
and
condition
was
concealed
from
all
but
those
that
had
conveyed
him
thither
:
thus
hee
remained
with
some
hopes
but
more
doubts
for
many
weekes
of
his
recovery
,
untill
at
last
a
dangerous
Feavour
made
every
one
in
the
house
despaire
of
his
safety
:
amongst
which
number
it
was
my
chance
to
be
preparing
my selfe
for
a
voyage
to
Delphos
,
according
to
a
serious
vow
I
had
made
to
the
Gods
for
the
expiation
of
certaine
offences
.
But
he
understanding
of
my
intention
,
and
conceiving
my
best
way
would
be
to
passe
by
the
Kingdome
of
Lydia
in
the
journey
,
one
day
when
the
violence
of
his
sicknesse
gave
him
some
more
ease
,
then
accustomed
,
&
that
the
chamber
by
hazard
was
freed
from
all
company
but
my self
,
by
reason
of
a
certain
holy
day
neere
the
Towne
,
he
desired
me
to
approach
his
bed-side
,
where
after
I
was
seated
,
and
that
by
many
sighes
,
he
had
made
me
acquainted
with
your
unfortunate
loves
and
his
own
condition
,
he
conjured
me
by
all
the
charity
that
ought
to
accompany
my
thoughts
in
so
sacred
a
journey
,
that
in
my
passage
I
would
visit
you
in
Lydia
,
where
he
understood
you
were
newly
arrived
:
and
not
onely
declare
unto
you
all
the
circumstances
of
his
untimely
death
,
with
the
assurance
of
his
most
constant
love
to
his
last
end
;
but
withall
obliged
me
to
deliver
this
Ring
which
he
said
was
the
deare
testimony
of
the
contract
that
had
been
between
you
;
and
presently
putting
his
hand
in
his
bosome
drew
out
a
paper
wherein
was
contained
that
unwelcome
token
.
When
Cloria
beheld
the
pledge
of
their
unfortunate
loves
now
ended
in
the
worst
of
periods
,
she
looked
upon
it
as
if
she
expected
a
miraculous
remedy
,
or
a
miserable
distraction
;
till
at
last
conquered
by
the
very
depth
of
her
desperate
imagination
,
she
became
exceeding
pale
,
and
scarce
was
so
for
any
time
before
a
more
earthly
colour
,
by
little
and
little
seemed
to
change
that
yet
lovely
white
,
which
death
it selfe
a
great
while
had
no
power
to
overcome
.
But
alasse
the
procession
was
too
wilfull
,
for
not
long
after
her
dainty
,
though
weake
legs
not
being
able
to
support
the
waight
of
her
faire
body
,
since
her
pure
soule
could
contribute
no
assistance
,
she
sunke
downe
to
the
ground
,
like
a
rich
marble
statue
built
upon
snowy
bases
:
which
caused
the
poor
Pilgrim
with
a
haste
,
composed
of
an
amazed
sorrow
,
and
a
desperate
feare
,
to
flye
to
her
reliefe
,
cursing
not
onely
his
relation
,
but
his
very
journey
that
occasioned
it
:
his
violent
execrations
had
not
power
to
breath
the
least
shew
of
life
into
her
sweet
body
,
as
if
the
gods
were
resolved
to
keep
possession
of
so
heavenly
a
spirit
(
notwithstanding
he
continued
the
rubbing
of
her
Temples
with
more
then
ordinary
passion
)
untill
he
spake
in
her
eares
,
that
Narcissus
was
not
dead
,
but
falsly
so
alleadged
by
his
malicious
&
wicked
tongue
;
and
for
a
testimony
of
his
last
affirmations
(
which
he
wisht
might
be
confirmed
by
his
perpetuall
torment
,
as
a
punishment
for
his
offence
)
he
sudden
pulled
off
that
deceitfull
beard
,
that
had
so
unluckily
disguised
his
person
from
her
knowledge
.
Cloria
after
she
had
for
some
time
continued
in
her
sad
sleep
,
that
faine
would
gently
have
sent
her
without
noyse
to
a
better
habitation
,
she
softly
againe
opened
her
eyes
,
that
seemed
something
ecclipsed
of
their
former
brightnesse
,
and
fixing
them
upon
that
object
that
onely
had
power
to
keep
them
from
entertaining
an
eternall
darknesse
,
she
used
these
low
words
:
And
is
it
possible
that
Narcissus
still
lives
?
or
is
it
my
flattering
fancy
that
ever
couzens
me
into
new
miseries
?
then
shut
them
againe
,
as
if
either
yet
she
was
not
absolutely
perswaded
of
his
truth
,
or
had
a
mind
to
reprove
him
for
his
unkinde
concealing
of
himselfe
;
But
Roxana's
arrivall
,
both
afforded
Cloria
more
remedy
,
and
proved
a
meanes
to
beg
Narcissus
pardon
,
who
was
not
able
by
any
Rhetorick
to
excuse
the
sin
,
he
had
committed
against
the
Lawes
of
love
,
in
borrowing
a
disguised
shape
,
to
hide
that
which
Cloria
had
onely
a
desire
to
see
:
however
lovers
quarrels
although
they
are
violent
,
yet
never
or
very
seldome
are
lasting
;
beside
the
sweet
Princesse
had
no
room
left
in
her
bosome
for
revenge
,
where
there
was
already
inspired
so
much
joy
;
so
that
in
a
short
time
a
perfect
truce
was
not
only
made
between
them
,
though
chiefly
exprest
in
contemplation
,
wherein
their
hearts
spake
more
then
their
lips
:
but
after
they
seemed
sufficiently
to
have
surfeited
of
their
joy
,
Narcissus
was
perswaded
to
make
a
perfect
relation
of
his
own
adventures
:
Wherefore
,
taking
her
faire
hand
,
and
gently
kissing
it
twice
or
thrice
,
as
a
sworne
testimony
of
the
truth
of
his
story
,
he
began
in
this
manner
,
whilst
in
the
meane
time
the
poore
Princesse
read
a
lecture
in
his
looks
,
that
appeared
amply
to
instruct
her
thoughts
.
Most
sweet
Princesse
said
he
,
as
I
know
not
what
accident
,
or
rather
I
may
call
it
a
fate
,
separated
our
ships
one
from
another
comming
from
Egypt
,
so
no
sooner
were
we
out
of
sight
of
your
vessell
,
but
the
winds
,
as
if
they
intended
againe
to
remember
us
of
a
meeting
,
though
they
seemed
to
deny
the
opportunity
,
began
most
furiously
to
rage
upon
the
waters
;
in
so
much
as
being
tost
from
one
billow
to
another
,
with
a
kinde
of
a
rude
uncertainty
,
we
became
at
last
in
a
manner
desperate
of
our
own
safeties
:
but
then
O
you
gods
,
how
were
my
thoughts
transported
in
your
behalfe
,
knowing
you
to
be
in
the
same
condition
of
danger
and
hazard
?
how
many
lives
would
I
have
willingly
sacrificed
of
my
own
,
with
what
torments
soever
,
but
to
have
rendred
you
secure
in
my
own
thoughts
,
in
some
Haven
or
Harbour
of
quietnesse
,
free
from
the
inconstant
cruelty
of
the
winds
;
and
raging
tempest
that
appeared
rebellious
to
all
our
wishes
?
what
infinite
dammages
did
I
conceive
the
whole
world
would
sustaine
by
your
losse
,
since
with
you
went
away
all
vertue
,
honour
,
and
beauty
from
the
face
of
the
earth
?
sometimes
I
would
call
the
Marriners
from
their
necessary
imployments
,
to
aske
their
opinions
concerning
your
danger
and
condition
,
whilst
they
barbarous
and
ignorant
wretches
,
rather
minded
their
own
present
affaires
,
then
gave
me
any
satisfactory
reply
,
as
if
they
understood
not
the
consequence
of
my
demand
,
but
rather
amazedly
preferred
their
own
safety
,
before
those
thoughts
appertaining
to
your
particular
:
which
caused
me
equally
to
bestow
both
curses
and
prayers
in
your
behalfe
:
The
Princesse
finding
Narcissus
in
some
sort
transported
with
these
imaginations
,
whereby
probably
she
should
be
delayed
from
hearing
the
story
of
his
adventures
,
with
a
pretty
kinde
of
jeering
smile
,
wisht
him
to
leave
off
now
any
more
care
for
her
particular
,
since
as
she
said
he
found
her
safe
,
and
rather
follow
that
relation
she
expected
from
him
,
as
a
more
necessary
duty
for
the
present
;
This
made
him
quickly
fall
to
his
taske
with
fewer
circumstances
then
formerly
in
this
manner
:
A
night
and
a
day
said
he
,
having
kept
us
upon
the
Seas
in
this
storme
,
at
last
the
skye
cleared
it selfe
from
its
cloudy
incumberance
,
which
made
us
perceive
,
that
we
were
neare
the
Island
of
of
Rhodes
:
wherefore
finding
our
ship
was
much
beaten
with
the
Tempest
,
and
most
of
our
company
unable
to
undergoe
a
farther
journey
without
some
refreshment
,
I
gave
my
consent
to
have
the
vessell
put
into
the
Haven
,
the
rather
because
I
hoped
to
heare
some
news
of
your
safety
in
that
City
.
The
chiefe
commander
of
that
Island
for
the
present
is
a
great
noble
man
of
Lydia
,
who
however
he
keeps
a
certaine
correspondency
with
the
Senate
for
his
own
more
convenient
security
,
yet
in
his
heart
he
is
an
entire
servant
to
the
King
your
Father
,
which
not
onely
made
me
think
my
welcome
so
much
the
better
in
his
Country
;
but
his
wife
being
my
most
neare
kinswoman
,
I
was
perswaded
to
make
my
aboad
for
some
few
dayes
in
that
place
,
whilst
in
the
interim
we
sent
out
many
small
vessels
,
to
enquire
after
your
condition
:
but
however
I
could
have
been
very
well
content
,
to
have
remained
there
longer
,
in
regard
of
the
vertuous
and
noble
entertainment
both
of
the
Lord
and
Lady
,
yet
upon
the
messengers
returne
finding
no
advertizement
could
be
given
concerning
your
particular
,
with
a
certain
kinde
of
melancholly
rage
I
retired
into
my
chamber
,
where
I
continued
notwithstanding
any
perswation
to
the
contrary
,
untill
another
ship
was
fitted
for
our
transportation
,
in
regard
ours
was
held
for
the
present
altogether
uncapable
of
another
voyage
,
without
a
great
deale
of
mending
and
reparation
:
within
two
or
three
dayes
I
took
my
leave
of
my
kinswoman
,
and
her
Lord
;
though
the
gods
knew
in
a
very
blunt
manner
,
(
my
thoughts
being
over
burthened
for
complements
)
and
presently
directed
my
course
to
the
Island
of
Cyprus
,
where
I
hoped
you
were
;
or
at
leastwise
by
my
comming
thither
would
be
arrived
;
notwithstanding
I
could
not
in
my
fearfull
apprehension
but
doubt
the
worst
,
notwithstanding
those
in
the
ship
,
endeavoured
by
many
circumstances
,
to
confirme
me
in
a
certain
belief
of
your
safety
,
which
made
the
journey
something
lesse
tedious
and
distastfull
:
I
conjured
the
whole
company
entirely
to
conceale
my
name
,
from
any
person
whatsoever
untill
you
were
found
:
when
we
landed
at
Salamine
I
understood
the
Queene
your
mother
and
my
father
were
both
lately
removed
from
thence
to
Paphos
,
where
again
strictly
enquiring
after
you
,
and
not
hearing
any
news
whatsoever
either
of
your
aboad
or
safety
,
after
I
had
spent
some
time
in
tearing
my
haire
,
and
using
other
fruitlesse
complaints
,
I
resolved
in
a
disguise
to
seek
you
out
in
the
country
of
Pamphylia
;
whither
very
probably
I
conceited
the
winds
and
the
storm
might
have
driven
your
ship
,
and
by
that
meanes
have
committed
your
person
to
a
new
imprisonment
,
since
that
Territory
is
known
to
belong
unto
the
King
of
Egypt
:
To
this
purpose
having
changed
my
habit
(
being
only
accompanied
by
a
few
of
my
attendants
I
could
best
trust
)
we
put
Egyptian
colours
upon
the
top
of
our
vessel
,
as
if
we
had
onely
belonged
to
the
principality
of
Pamphylia
:
thus
we
sailed
with
all
possible
speed
towards
the
confines
of
the
lesser
Asia
,
in
regard
we
understand
by
certaine
Merchants
of
Syria
remaining
in
Salamine
,
no
newes
had
been
heard
of
you
in
that
Kingdome
,
since
your
departure
from
the
City
of
Memphis
:
but
the
gods
perhaps
intending
by
this
diversion
,
to
bring
about
other
purposes
according
to
their
divine
and
inscrutable
decrees
,
before
we
approached
the
shore
of
Pamphylia
by
some
howers
sail
,
we
were
suddenly
set
upon
by
two
vessels
of
Tyre
,
and
presently
commanded
to
yield
our
persons
to
their
power
and
dispose
,
without
dispute
or
contradiction
,
unlesse
we
would
hazzard
our selves
in
a
contention
most
dangerous
and
desperate
.
This
language
meeting
my
discontents
and
despaire
,
caused
me
to
make
a
greater
resistance
,
then
was
either
convenient
or
necessary
for
our
welfare
,
untill
at
last
being
wounded
in
many
parss
of
my
body
,
and
not
a
few
of
the
company
slain
or
hurt
,
our
ship
was
not
onely
seised
upon
,
but
my selfe
carried
to
the
Castle
of
the
Town
,
where
an
Officer
belonging
to
Philos
commanded
me
to
custody
,
for
that
Philos
was
for
the
present
gone
to
Damascus
;
within
three
daies
Philos
returned
from
Court
,
and
not
long
after
comming
into
my
chamber
,
he
quickly
knew
who
I
was
:
so
bestowing
upon
me
some
few
complements
(
I
desiring
him
in
the
interim
to
conceale
my
name
and
qualisy
)
he
presently
gave
order
,
for
my
respectfull
attendance
and
necessary
cure
:
also
he
appointed
me
to
be
removed
to
the
best
lodgings
in
his
Castle
,
with
a
promise
absolutely
not
to
discover
my
person
to
any
,
but
his
own
sister
Artemesia
,
who
,
as
he
said
to
his
knowledge
,
would
contribute
her
best
assistance
to
my
recovery
:
in
this
condition
(
though
extreamly
afflicted
inwardly
by
reason
of
your selfe
)
I
remained
for
at
least
a
weeks
space
;
when
againe
one
day
Philos
came
and
seated
himselfe
by
my
bed
side
,
telling
me
after
some
few
complements
,
that
as
his
sister
had
provided
such
rare
simples
for
the
practise
of
my
Physitians
,
as
could
not
otherwise
be
procured
,
by
all
the
power
and
art
of
the
great
and
rich
Kingdome
of
Syria
,
so
was
she
resolved
shortly
in
person
to
give
me
a
visit
,
if
not
daily
accompany
me
in
my
distempers
,
when
I
should
be
rendred
as
he
said
more
proper
for
the
conversation
of
ladies
:
then
he
made
me
exactly
tell
him
the
story
or
manner
of
our
unfortunate
separation
at
sea
;
seeming
extraordinary
inquisitive
,
as
well
in
what
posture
I
left
you
at
parting
,
as
what
my
opinion
was
concerning
your
safety
:
Although
this
relation
with
so
many
particulars
,
brought
to
my
remembrance
by
the
discourse
,
encreased
my
torments
,
like
so
many
sharp
daggers
piercing
my
heart
,
with
a
thousand
mortall
wounds
,
yet
I
could
not
well
deny
the
civillity
,
in
regard
that
I
was
not
onely
in
the
Country
of
Syria
,
where
I
knew
it
would
have
been
held
a
kind
of
a
rude
barbarisme
in
conversation
,
not
to
comply
in
all
discourses
whatsoever
,
notwithstanding
any
discontent
or
passion
,
but
that
for
the
present
,
I
seemed
to
be
also
entertained
with
the
best
expressions
of
love
and
kindnesse
,
could
be
imagined
in
his
house
:
after
I
had
made
answer
to
what
he
could
possible
require
at
my
hands
in
that
nature
,
I
both
desired
and
conjured
him
to
send
speedily
,
what
ships
he
could
spare
out
of
his
Harbours
,
to
enquire
after
your
welfare
and
aboade
:
which
being
promised
(
some
of
the
Physitians
at
the
same
time
comming
into
the
room
)
he
necessarily
left
me
to
their
dispose
and
directions
.
As
I
began
to
recover
my
health
,
I
became
every
day
more
then
other
perswaded
,
and
satisfied
concerning
the
certaine
hopes
of
your
safety
,
in
regard
we
cold
not
heare
of
any
shipwracks
,
that
had
hapned
upon
any
of
those
coasts
,
or
seas
neer
Syria
,
Pamphylia
,
or
Cyprus
,
how
diligent
soever
the
messengers
had
beene
in
their
enquiry
:
which
in
a
short
time
so
mended
my
condition
,
if
not
repaired
my
disability
,
that
oftentimes
I
was
not
only
able
,
but
prescribed
to
walk
into
the
garden
,
and
other
places
of
pleasure
for
my
better
recreation
:
And
this
was
an
occasion
,
that
one
afternoon
I
was
sent
for
by
the
Lady
Artemesia
(
Philos
being
for
the
present
somewhere
out
of
the
way
,
attending
upon
his
necessary
occasions
)
at
my
arrivall
I
found
the
Lady
her selfe
seated
at
the
upper
end
of
the
room
with
a
Sampler
in
her
hand
,
and
a
waiting
woman
attending
by
her
,
that
furnished
her
with
those
silks
she
had
occasion
to
use
;
however
at
my
approach
she
rose
up
,
to
give
me
a
respectfull
salutation
,
and
that
drew
from
me
some
complements
in
regard
of
the
dainty
work
she
had
designed
,
which
in
truth
appeared
excellent
to
my
apprehension
,
being
only
the
pretty
banquet
of
the
gods
,
where
Juno
sweld
with
over
much
jealousie
because
Ganymed
was
so
neer
her
husband
:
but
that
which
pleased
most
my
opinion
,
was
to
see
the
angry
lookes
of
Cupid
,
because
his
mother
courted
her
deformed
Vulcan
in
such
an
assembly
,
whilst
Mars
appeared
to
be
out
of
countenance
at
the
action
.
After
I
had
not
only
viewed
but
commended
the
artificiall
hand
,
that
had
so
lively
described
the
delightfull
story
,
Artemesia
made
me
this
reply
;
that
it
was
no
wonder
if
humane
creatures
were
given
so
much
to
love
,
when
the
very
gods
themselves
were
troubled
with
those
passions
.
Truly
Madam
said
I
,
although
I
cannot
but
allow
of
the
passion
,
when
it
is
ordained
to
produce
onely
noble
effects
,
yet
certainly
the
gods
could
never
be
subject
to
those
imperfections
,
when
for
the
most
part
their
flames
were
unlawfull
,
as
either
preventing
of
other
mens
loves
,
or
destroying
the
chastity
of
virgines
,
as
the
Poets
mention
:
for
my
part
said
she
,
I
am
of
opinion
,
although
most
of
their
actions
described
by
the
wandring
fancies
of
Poets
,
were
but
meer
fictions
,
yet
it
cannot
be
but
the
stories
of
Perseus
and
Hercules
,
both
sons
to
Iupiter
were
true
,
and
consequently
doe
shew
to
our
example
,
the
lawfulnesse
of
the
passion
,
when
such
Heros
were
produced
:
the
one
of
a
married
wife
,
the
other
of
a
maid
,
to
free
the
world
from
oppression
and
injury
,
since
they
appeared
busied
in
no
other
imployment
;
who
for
their
excellent
qualities
and
justice
,
have
been
since
esteemed
gods
.
This
discourse
I
must
confesse
comming
from
a
virgin
,
did
something
amaze
me
,
yet
we
continued
our
disputation
untill
the
time
of
the
day
,
and
Philos
comming
into
the
room
,
prevented
any
further
contention
,
in
a
subject
I
as
much
delighted
in
as
her selfe
.
At
which
expression
the
sweet
Princesse
smiled
,
as
if
some
cause
had
been
given
her
of
jealousie
,
however
she
told
him
,
although
his
story
began
to
be
suspitious
,
yet
she
had
so
much
justice
in
her
resolution
,
as
to
attend
the
end
of
his
discourse
,
hoping
that
his
relation
at
last
would
cleere
all
difficulties
:
but
by
my
honesty
Madam
said
Roxana
,
you
will
perchance
be
deceived
in
your
confidence
,
when
you
may
be
sure
he
will
never
accuse
himselfe
what
fault
soever
he
hath
committed
privately
;
which
words
proceeded
so
sharply
from
the
old
womans
delivery
,
that
it
might
be
easily
conjectured
,
that
in
her
youth
she
had
been
sometimes
couzened
in
her
love
;
or
at
leastwise
was
of
that
opinion
:
neverthelesse
Cloria
bid
Narcissus
go
on
,
protesting
she
would
not
doe
that
wrong
to
her
own
innocent
and
noble
thoughts
,
as
to
suspect
him
whom
she
had
in
her
judgment
esteemed
worthy
of
her
affections
:
At
which
declaration
the
poore
Pilgrim
seemed
to
be
transported
with
a
new
joy
;
and
after
he
had
given
her
humble
thankes
for
the
confidence
she
had
of
his
vertues
,
that
became
encreased
by
that
opinion
,
he
took
her
white
hand
againe
,
upon
which
he
imprinted
a
multitude
of
vowes
able
to
drive
jealousie
out
of
the
world
,
and
then
proceeded
in
this
manner
.
But
this
interruption
as
I
said
,
not
onely
put
off
the
exercising
of
my
wit
,
and
perhaps
Artemesia's
intention
,
but
also
carried
us
all
to
supper
,
where
many
lookes
of
the
young
Lady
to
invite
my
eyes
to
the
like
encounter
,
gave
my
thoughts
more
then
enough
suspition
,
and
so
consequently
my
minde
a
great
deale
of
trouble
all
the
night
following
;
untill
the
morning
brought
into
my
chamber
an
old
woman
,
whom
I
had
often
seene
in
those
visits
her
mistresse
had
bestowed
upon
me
in
my
ficknesse
,
and
boldly
seating
her selfe
upon
my
bed
,
abruptly
used
these
words
:
Of
all
the
men
in
the
world
said
she
,
I
wonder
at
your
stupidity
,
since
your
youth
and
beauty
should
be
such
flames
to
love
,
rather
to
consume
your
quiet
rest
,
then
coldly
thus
to
entertaine
the
more
then
offered
affections
of
another
Venus
,
whose
perfections
are
only
subjects
of
admiration
.
Is
it
possible
that
so
bright
a
starre
as
Artemesia
,
hath
not
a
powerfull
influence
in
your
dull
soule
?
When
the
earth
seemes
to
tremble
at
the
greatnesse
of
her
Uncle
,
which
renders
all
people
in
a
mauner
willing
to
become
his
slaves
,
whilst
you
appeare
loath
to
be
his
friend
.
Can
you
thinke
these
frequent
visits
that
this
faire
and
great
Lady
made
to
you
in
your
sicknesse
,
and
since
her
free
conversation
,
proceed
from
ordinary
respects
,
when
the
greatest
Princes
in
Asia
are
not
thought
worthy
of
the
favours
without
comming
clothed
with
the
pretensions
of
being
her
husband
;
And
alasse
,
who
can
be
esteemed
so
happy
as
to
merit
such
a
Title
,
however
far
above
you
in
dignity
,
though
I
could
wish
she
had
chosen
long
agoe
to
have
prevented
her
unhappy
fate
,
by
casting
her
eyes
and
heart
upon
such
a
subject
:
if
you
doe
not
yet
understand
this
old
Philosophy
,
at
leastwise
believe
the
new
logick
I
deliver
that
am
her
nurse
,
and
consequently
should
know
her
mind
.
Let
it
suffice
,
if
you
list
you
may
be
happy
beyond
Kings
;
but
if
your
perverse
fortune
intend
you
not
such
a
blessing
,
certainly
no
lesse
a
curse
then
destruction
will
accompany
the
disaster
;
since
there
is
no
meane
to
be
expected
,
between
possession
in
love
or
ruine
by
hate
;
And
after
some
time
left
me
to
be
accompanied
only
by
my
own
imagination
,
which
soon
represented
unto
me
these
considerations
.
First
the
dangerous
consequence
of
being
in
the
custody
of
Artemesia's
brother
,
who
had
the
commodity
as
well
to
destroy
as
to
speak
the
word
;
and
next
the
rage
of
the
whole
family
if
they
should
conceive
themselves
dishonoured
by
the
refusall
.
Yet
deare
Cloria
said
he
,
my
not
to
be
conquered
loyalty
to
you
,
was
sufficient
to
resist
,
though
not
to
prevent
all
difficulties
.
At
which
expression
,
the
Princesse
only
with
another
pretty
smile
,
bid
him
go
on
in
his
story
;
but
the
first
said
he
,
most
troubled
my
thoughts
,
since
Philos
love
to
his
sister
as
I
believed
,
would
easily
be
perswaded
by
my
death
to
make
a
greater
distance
between
our
affections
,
when
he
should
finde
my
constancy
could
not
be
removed
by
his
milder
art
,
rather
then
hazard
Artemosia's
honour
;
but
for
the
second
,
although
I
supposed
the
whole
family
would
hold
it
for
a
supreame
indignity
,
to
have
their
kins-woman
refused
by
my
neglect
,
yet
the
revenge
could
not
well
be
executed
without
the
discovery
of
the
Ladies
passion
:
but
I
re-resolved
as
my
best
defence
,
neither
to
take
notice
of
the
old
womans
discourse
,
nor
of
her
Mistresses
courtship
,
untill
I
were
yet
prest
by
some
new
overture
,
not
to
be
waved
without
a
peremptory
reply
,
and
then
to
shew
my
courage
in
our
loves
;
since
the
Ladies
passions
,
I
supposed
would
not
break
out
to
any
dangerous
violence
,
untill
she
became
absolutely
desperate
in
her
hopes
.
After
I
had
drest
my selfe
,
and
was
entertaining
my
thoughts
in
a
retiring
place
belonging
to
my
lodging
,
I
became
suddenly
invited
by
a
messenger
sent
by
Philos
,
to
accompany
him
to
a
certaine
place
belonging
to
his
Uncle
Philostros
,
not
above
foure
houres
voyage
in
a
Coach
;
where
the
great
favourite
had
imployed
abundance
of
wealth
,
with
more
industry
,
to
render
it
an
habitation
both
curious
and
stately
,
as
being
the
place
not
only
of
his
birth
,
but
bearing
the
name
of
his
family
.
The
first
object
that
presented
it selfe
to
our
eyes
,
was
a
beautifull
Towne
,
though
more
in
the
quality
then
in
the
quantity
of
the
houses
,
built
in
such
a
just
uniformity
,
that
it
became
a
question
to
my
imagination
,
whether
the
order
or
the
materials
should
have
the
greater
preheminence
in
my
opinion
,
since
the
one
in
a
pleasant
prospective
pleased
the
sight
,
as
the
other
in
a
mature
consideration
satisfied
the
understanding
:
for
as
Cypres
trees
being
mixt
with
the
severall
buildings
,
afforded
a
most
delightfull
variety
,
so
the
richnesse
of
the
stone
shewed
it
was
designed
to
be
lasting
;
both
which
being
joyned
together
,
the
whole
could
not
chuse
but
be
admirable
,
in
so
much
as
I
had
much
adoe
to
get
my
lookes
off
those
rarities
,
untill
greater
wonders
appeared
ready
to
entertaine
me
,
which
was
the
Palace
it selfe
seated
in
a
convenient
ascent
,
built
all
of
Tuscan
work
,
with
such
exact
skill
,
that
the
Architectures
of
the
wonders
of
the
world
,
might
have
been
present
at
the
designe
:
It
was
framed
into
a
perfect
square
,
each
angle
supported
by
a
goodly
Pavilion
,
elevating
their
guilded
heads
above
the
rest
of
the
Fabrick
,
whilst
two
Galleries
of
either
side
joyned
by
a
portall
of
severall
coloured
Marble
,
inclosed
in
a
large
Court
that
only
at
the
further
end
made
a
brave
Tarras
,
paved
artificially
with
Moysayck
work
,
and
bounded
by
raile
and
baller
of
Corinthian
Brasse
,
where
upon
both
sides
the
staires
upon
double
pedestalls
of
Porphir
,
were
placed
the
two
statues
of
Saturne
and
Jupiter
:
The
outward
Court
round
about
the
walls
seemed
to
be
crowned
with
Urrnes
,
mixt
with
halfe
statues
of
the
ancient
Grecians
,
whilst
the
entrance
being
open
at
the
top
the
architrave
freeze
and
cornish
were
cut
off
in
the
middle
,
and
finished
with
Cartooses
instead
of
meeting
.
The
gate
of
either
part
was
supported
by
Jonick
pillars
,
two
behind
and
one
before
,
which
made
a
returne
in
the
building
,
and
foure
guilded
Lions
upon
low
pedestals
seemed
to
guard
the
passage
.
After
we
had
traversed
these
beautifull
inclosures
,
we
were
let
into
the
gardens
for
the
more
conveniency
of
shade
,
since
the
day
already
began
to
be
enflamed
by
the
Suns
violence
,
which
for
the
more
curiosity
were
ordered
into
severall
discents
,
supported
by
huge
Arches
of
white
Marble
,
and
in
many
places
so
covered
with
excellent
Fruit
trees
,
that
they
seemed
a
farre
off
,
to
be
painted
over
with
delightfull
Landskips
of
woods
,
whilst
the
Birds
and
waterworks
inclosed
in
the
vaults
sent
forth
a
pleasing
murmur
to
the
aire
.
The
first
garden
although
it
were
lesse
then
all
the
rest
,
because
it
might
afford
a
better
prospect
upon
the
other
,
was
divided
into
foure
squares
,
each
conteining
a
magnificent
fountaine
,
the
one
having
the
brazen
statue
of
Hercules
with
his
club
in
his
hand
,
invironed
about
with
a
Christall
lake
,
wherein
were
Fishes
so
gentle
by
education
,
that
they
waited
in
the
water
to
be
fed
by
those
that
viewed
the
curiosities
.
The
superfice
of
the
pond
was
formed
into
twelve
angles
,
and
raised
three
foot
high
by
a
certaine
calle
of
cut
stone
,
that
resembled
a
hedge
,
whereupon
each
point
was
put
,
one
of
his
labours
artificially
cast
in
mettle
.
The
second
water
worke
represented
the
naked
figures
of
Diana
and
her
Nymphes
in
white
Marble
;
however
so
shadowed
by
a
dainty
grove
planted
by
Art
for
that
purpose
,
that
their
whole
shapes
could
not
perfectly
be
discovered
,
though
there
appeared
enough
for
delight
and
admiration
,
whilst
poore
Actaeon
without
the
trees
in
a
green
plat
of
ground
seemed
to
be
torne
in
pieces
by
his
own
houndes
,
according
to
the
judgement
given
against
him
by
the
revengefull
goddess
,
though
his
friends
in
every
place
out
of
the
bushes
,
appeared
to
haste
to
his
rescue
.
The
third
fountaine
was
only
of
Perimus
and
Thisbe
,
with
the
tragicall
event
of
their
loves
.
And
the
last
figured
the
fates
of
Hero
and
Leander
,
where
her
Tower
being
built
in
a
certaine
other
lake
,
which
received
its
current
from
the
first
,
made
a
kind
of
confused
,
though
little
Sea
,
wherein
the
compassionate
Nymphes
by
exact
expressions
,
were
apprehended
to
bewaile
the
lovely
Youths
death
,
whilst
his
distracted
love
,
cast
her selfe
from
the
battlements
of
her
own
lodgings
,
to
accompany
him
in
his
buriall
.
But
that
which
most
delighted
my
senses
(
because
it
afforded
a
pleasing
prospective
between
divers
rowes
of
even
set
Trees
)
was
a
certaine
banquetting
house
,
built
after
the
forme
of
a
round
Temple
,
with
large
windowes
of
bright
glasse
,
divided
by
guilded
pillars
,
notwithstanding
it
had
a
portall
,
to
give
it
entrance
,
of
many
transparent
columnes
,
or
at
leastwise
they
so
appeared
to
my
view
at
a
distance
;
the
materials
that
built
it
,
were
yellow
minerals
,
enterlaced
with
shells
of
mother
of
Pearle
,
so
that
the
structure
resembled
a
Tower
of
gold
garnished
with
jewels
;
and
being
sheltred
over
head
in
every
place
but
before
,
by
united
cypresses
,
it
represented
to
my
imagination
,
a
rich
Tabernacle
in
a
stately
Pavillion
;
since
the
Trees
were
so
tall
,
that
they
gave
it
rather
a
shady
lustre
,
then
a
darke
coverture
.
Scarce
had
I
contemplated
this
pleasant
object
,
but
that
Philos
invited
me
to
a
neerer
taste
of
the
beauty
,
it
being
to
be
past
over
by
a
Bridge
silver'd
over
,
since
the
house
it selfe
was
seated
in
an
Island
made
by
the
winding
course
of
a
naturall
River
,
though
many
artificiall
streames
from
it
,
seemed
to
contribute
some
assistance
to
the
running
Brooke
.
At
our
arrivall
(
having
spent
a
quarter
of
an
houres
time
in
descending
the
severall
sorts
of
staires
,
that
carried
us
into
the
lower
Gardens
)
we
might
encounter
with
our
eyes
,
at
the
first
opening
of
the
doore
,
the
Lady
Artemesia
,
newly
come
out
of
the
water
,
scarce
having
covered
her
modesty
with
a
Lawne
smock
;
neither
did
our
surprisall
seem
to
hasten
the
accommodation
of
that
light
coverture
to
the
best
advantage
,
as
if
she
were
so
farre
from
being
ashamed
to
be
taken
in
that
posture
,
that
she
rather
exprest
a
desire
to
have
her
beauties
still
seen
;
her
haire
was
at
full
length
,
though
curiously
curled
,
which
pretended
to
designe
,
and
not
to
accident
,
since
two
waiting-women
in
Nymphs
attire
,
held
a
great
Looking-glasse
before
her
,
whilst
she
carefully
drest
her
face
with
certaine
black
patches
,
cut
into
the
forms
of
Flies
,
and
other
small
creatures
,
for
the
better
ornament
of
her
lookes
:
her
legs
were
bare
,
onely
she
wore
upon
her
feet
a
paire
of
rich
embroydered
pantobles
:
This
,
as
neere
as
I
can
remember
,
was
the
state
we
found
her
in
.
And
very
neere
certainly
you
were
,
said
Cloria
,
that
you
could
discover
so
much
.
At
which
words
Narcissus
began
to
blush
,
protesting
also
with
a
pretty
violence
;
that
he
was
so
farre
from
liking
her
in
that
posture
,
that
he
was
as
much
displeased
as
ashamed
at
her
immodesty
.
Well
,
well
,
replied
the
Princesse
,
goe
on
in
your
story
,
without
these
impertinencies
,
since
none
laies
any
fault
to
your
charge
.
Which
command
was
too
peremptory
from
his
faire
Mistresse
,
to
continue
him
in
any
longer
disputation
;
so
he
proceeded
.
But
however
,
said
he
,
although
she
put
on
no
bashfull
amazement
in
her
countenance
,
yet
with
a
disdainfull
frown
she
seemed
to
entertaine
our
company
,
which
was
a
sufficient
injunction
to
cause
us
speedily
to
retire
;
and
that
gave
occasion
to
Philos
(
since
we
had
already
travelled
enough
over
those
walkes
)
to
command
us
to
be
conducted
up
into
the
house
,
where
we
might
be
more
conveniently
shaded
from
the
heat
of
the
day
;
and
that
quickly
brought
us
into
the
Galleries
,
where
excellent
pictures
,
not
enough
to
be
esteemed
,
and
rich
cabbinets
beyond
valuation
,
gave
our
thoughts
and
eyes
an
abundance
of
imployments
,
untill
a
delicious
dinner
called
us
into
another
room
,
where
we
found
Artemefia
,
scarce
seeming
to
be
the
same
woman
we
left
her
in
the
Garden
;
having
not
onely
put
off
altogether
her
choler
,
but
also
being
trimmed
up
with
so
exquisite
a
neatnesse
,
as
if
she
had
been
prepared
for
her
Nuptiall
Feast
;
which
confirmes
my
opinion
,
that
all
those
postures
were
designed
of
purpose
,
to
make
me
think
she
was
admirable
in
every
shape
,
as
well
when
nature
played
the
carelesse
wanton
,
as
when
art
became
the
curious
painter
.
Bvt
in
conclusion
,
a
few
complements
set
us
all
at
table
,
where
lovely
pages
like
Ganymeds
fill'd
our
Wine
rather
in
Diamonds
then
Christiall
glasses
,
whilst
our
fruit
seemed
to
be
fetcht
from
the
Hesperides
,
all
so
excellent
,
that
could
not
be
imitated
,
much
lesse
equalled
;
yet
that
excellency
was
elevated
,
I
will
not
say
augmented
by
ravishing
Musick
,
both
of
voyces
and
Instruments
,
that
with
a
gentle
harmony
,
rather
bewitched
then
burdened
the
eare
;
which
continued
untill
direction
was
given
to
take
away
the
cloth
,
that
the
room
might
be
emptied
of
all
attendants
,
to
give
us
the
greater
liberty
for
our
private
conversation
,
a
custome
in
that
Country
for
the
better
recreation
,
since
they
used
not
to
remove
presently
after
dinner
:
however
we
all
continued
for
some
time
in
a
perfect
silence
,
they
perhaps
expecting
what
I
should
say
of
my
noble
entertainment
,
and
their
uncles
greatnesse
;
and
I
,
not
being
over
willing
to
administer
occasion
of
discourse
,
till
at
last
Philos
himselfe
brake
out
in
this
manner
.
Sister
,
said
he
,
although
I
must
confesse
we
have
largely
tasted
of
your
bounty
,
though
more
of
your
neat
curiosity
,
a
property
I
must
acknowledge
,
that
better
becomes
youthfull
Ladies
;
yet
it
should
seem
before
dinner
,
you
were
too
carelesse
of
your
retirednesse
,
in
suffering
strangers
to
be
eye-witnesses
of
those
beauties
which
you
have
designed
onely
for
him
that
is
to
be
your
husband
,
as
rich
Jewels
that
are
to
be
lockt
up
in
close
Cabinets
,
not
to
be
exposed
to
the
vulgar
view
.
Brother
,
answered
Artemesid
,
with
a
spightfull
haste
,
although
it
be
true
that
it
was
contrary
to
the
intention
of
my
innocent
modesty
,
in
that
posture
to
be
surprized
by
your
wandring
intention
;
yet
certainly
I
am
lesse
ashamed
of
the
accident
,
when
I
consider
you
beheld
nothing
,
that
either
I
may
be
deprived
of
,
or
easily
can
be
equalled
by
other
Ladies
of
my
yeeres
;
onely
all
the
feare
I
have
is
,
lest
the
scandall
may
prove
offensive
to
this
worthy
stranger
,
that
I
have
so
great
ambition
to
content
,
that
I
should
beshrew
any
occasion
that
might
render
me
suspected
in
his
opinion
,
since
the
interest
of
my
blood
and
conversation
I
know
must
alwaies
keep
me
safe
in
yours
:
I
must
confesse
this
complement
,
or
rather
strange
expression
of
Artemesia
,
put
me
in
some
confusion
;
considering
of
one
side
;
if
I
gave
her
no
answer
at
all
,
it
might
be
interpreted
an
ungratefull
rudenesse
,
having
received
such
exquisite
entertainment
,
pretended
onely
for
my
disvertisement
,
after
my
long
sicknesse
;
and
of
the
other
part
,
what
reply
soever
I
could
make
,
proceeding
from
accustomed
rules
of
civility
,
would
of
necessity
engage
my
words
to
the
acknowledgement
of
her
perfections
,
which
might
encourage
some
other
passionate
progresse
of
that
love
I
so
much
disliked
:
however
,
at
last
I
fell
upon
this
resolution
,
to
involve
my
answer
into
such
a
riddle
,
that
either
could
not
be
well
understood
,
or
being
so
,
it
might
imply
a
double
sence
,
which
I
delivered
in
this
sort
:
Madam
,
said
I
,
your
beauties
resemble
the
innocency
of
the
first
Ages
,
that
thought
vertues
were
not
to
be
hid
from
the
ignorant
world
,
nor
imperfections
to
be
mask'd
by
any
art
,
whereby
the
rude
multitude
might
alwaies
have
a
book
open
,
to
learn
knowledge
,
and
practice
goodnesse
,
which
was
the
best
way
to
avoid
ill
,
when
naked
truth
was
the
onely
written
character
for
their
instructions
.
This
reply
,
although
it
did
not
for
the
present
well
satisfie
,
because
it
seemed
not
to
flame
by
the
stroake
of
the
flint
,
that
had
produced
sparkles
,
as
they
believed
,
to
set
on
fire
the
youthfull
Tinder
of
my
heart
;
yet
of
the
other
side
,
it
left
not
an
absolute
despaire
in
their
opinions
,
that
at
last
I
might
be
warmed
by
their
motions
:
neverthelesse
,
for
that
time
the
coldnesse
of
my
answer
,
changed
the
subject
of
our
discourse
to
other
talke
,
that
I
confesse
,
I
approved
of
;
which
with
many
varieties
,
continued
us
untill
the
evening
warned
us
to
depart
,
and
brought
us
to
our
old
habitation
;
where
,
at
our
arrivall
,
we
found
a
Messenger
newly
come
from
Damascus
,
attending
to
certifie
Philos
,
that
his
great
uncle
Philostros
was
taken
suddenly
with
a
dangerous
sicknesse
,
insomuch
as
many
of
his
Physicians
very
much
doubted
of
his
recovery
;
but
however
he
concealed
the
news
from
all
the
house
,
yet
the
next
morning
very
early
,
it
caused
him
to
take
his
journey
,
leaving
me
in
the
interim
onely
to
be
accompanied
by
his
gallant
sister
;
who
having
the
raines
absolutely
in
her
own
hands
,
let
her
passions
runne
with
a
full
careere
;
for
finding
that
all
these
trials
had
not
wrought
at
all
upon
my
affection
,
or
got
the
least
ground
of
my
constancy
,
since
the
burning
coales
brought
by
Cupids
diligence
from
his
mothers
luxurious
Altars
,
had
not
yet
thaw'd
my
icy
thoughts
.
Artemesia
fell
to
work
new
stratagems
,
so
that
one
morning
,
I
being
in
a
private
Library
belonging
to
my
lodgings
,
where
commonly
I
spent
some
houres
in
the
day
,
in
conferring
with
those
books
I
most
desired
to
read
,
and
viewing
the
Maps
of
severall
Countries
for
my
recreation
;
of
a
sudden
I
might
heare
the
dolefull
voyce
of
a
certaine
person
,
divided
from
my
knowledge
by
a
partitian
wall
at
the
end
of
the
room
,
which
quickly
made
me
curious
enough
to
be
informed
of
the
nature
of
the
complaint
:
wherefore
approaching
neerer
and
leaning
my
head
close
to
the
division
,
I
became
instantly
satisfied
,
that
the
noyse
proceeded
from
no
other
then
from
Artemesia
,
which
did
not
a
little
increase
my
wonder
,
since
I
conceived
her
much
beyond
all
misfortune
:
however
I
was
resolved
to
be
fully
instructed
,
and
to
that
purpose
setling
my
eares
to
an
entire
attentivenesse
,
in
distinct
words
I
heard
this
language
.
O
unhappy
Artemesia
,
said
she
,
is
it
possible
that
thy
owne
beauty
is
of
so
poor
a
valew
,
that
it
hath
not
the
power
to
attract
the
least
regard
from
a
youthfull
eye
,
which
hath
been
accustomed
heretofore
,
to
inflame
all
the
hearts
of
Syria
?
or
is
thy
Uncles
dignity
fallen
in
the
estimation
of
all
the
world
,
since
a
stranger
in
thy
power
as
a
prisoner
contemnes
both
?
O
you
gods
of
love
and
honour
said
she
,
permit
not
our
family
to
be
disgraced
though
you
be
determined
I
shall
perish
,
since
I
cannot
perswade
him
I
must
hate
my selfe
;
and
by
consequence
become
a
destroyer
of
us
both
;
for
as
I
am
resolved
not
to
breath
only
to
suffer
,
so
must
not
he
live
chiefely
to
tryumph
;
with
much
other
goodly
stuffe
of
this
nature
,
which
I
leave
to
repeat
,
because
I
will
not
prophane
your
most
chaste
eares
,
with
all
the
particulars
of
her
violent
and
ridiculous
passion
;
however
I
was
forced
to
dwell
with
my
consideration
upon
two
points
in
her
mad
expression
;
the
first
was
,
that
she
seemed
to
declare
me
a
prisoner
,
which
untill
then
I
never
understood
;
though
I
must
confesse
,
I
found
my
liberty
oftentimes
restrained
under
the
pretence
of
a
loving
care
of
my
health
:
And
the
other
that
appeared
more
terrible
,
her
seeming
resolution
,
either
to
enjoy
or
to
destroy
.
Which
made
me
when
I
had
heard
enough
,
to
retire
to
my
own
chamber
;
but
many
dayes
I
had
not
continued
there
,
before
I
perceived
by
the
apparent
neglect
of
the
whole
house
,
Artemesia
not
sending
for
me
according
to
her
custome
,
that
I
was
held
for
no
other
then
a
prisoner
,
being
every
night
locked
into
my
lodging
by
an
officious
Groom
.
All
which
was
done
as
I
understood
to
bring
downe
my
proud
and
Icy
heart
,
to
comply
with
her
desires
;
her
nurse
in
the
interim
giving
me
many
items
of
her
intention
;
besides
,
I
might
behold
every
day
out
of
my
chamber
window
,
the
rich
and
glorious
triumphes
of
my
insolent
Mistresse
,
when
shee
mounted
her
Chariot
to
take
the
aire
for
her
recreation
,
or
performed
some
other
visits
for
her
pleasure
.
And
that
the
splendor
might
more
appeare
to
my
thoughts
,
as
intended
affronts
,
contemning
my
low
condition
&
captivity
,
she
caused
an
ordinary
way
to
be
made
by
my
doore
,
where
she
daily
past
with
mirth
in
her
countenance
and
scorn
in
her
language
;
to
shew
she
had
not
only
forgot
her
old
love
,
but
the
very
remembrance
I
was
in
the
house
;
whilst
in
the
meane
time
the
foresaid
nurse
would
now
and
then
give
me
a
visit
,
as
it
were
covertly
out
of
pitty
,
to
comfort
up
my
thoughts
against
her
Ladies
rigour
;
however
I
very
well
knew
her
intention
was
but
the
better
to
discover
my
resolutions
;
neverthelesse
,
with
all
which
humours
I
was
content
to
play
,
to
avoid
any
further
incumbrance
of
her
Mistresse
offered
affection
,
not
doubting
but
at
her
brothers
returne
I
should
be
able
to
procure
my
releasemtnt
,
the
only
happinesse
I
aymed
at
,
though
my
endeavours
were
not
of
force
to
prevent
this
following
mischiefe
;
for
Artemesia
finding
that
no
artifice
could
make
me
entertaine
her
love
,
or
adore
her
person
,
since
the
heavens
knew
I
had
a
brighter
deity
to
worship
,
which
kept
me
from
all
superstitious
Idolatry
,
began
to
be
enamoured
with
her
own
revenge
,
and
so
resolved
to
make
me
become
a
Martyr
before
my
time
:
wherefore
one
day
comming
into
my
chamber
,
when
I
least
looked
for
her
company
,
her
own
pride
as
I
thought
,
having
forbid
her
entrance
,
bearing
in
her
hand
a
short
dagger
,
as
in
her
countenance
a
rough
tempest
,
saluted
me
with
this
desperate
language
:
Villain
,
said
she
,
dost
thou
think
to
carry
the
Trophies
of
my
dishonour
into
thy
own
Country
,
to
adorne
the
chariot
of
thy
Mistresses
triumphes
,
with
those
spoyles
thy
disdaine
hath
purchased
in
this
Castle
,
to
the
disgrace
of
our
whole
family
?
and
with
that
struck
at
my
naked
breast
,
being
newly
unbuttoned
by
reason
of
the
heat
of
the
weather
,
with
such
a
womans
violence
,
that
I
must
confesse
,
my
quick
prevention
had
fortune
enough
to
avoyd
the
danger
of
the
stroake
,
though
not
so
much
power
as
to
hinder
her
rage
;
for
finding
I
had
not
only
defended
my selfe
against
her
intended
and
malicious
fury
,
but
endeavoured
to
become
an
absolute
conquerour
over
her
mad
passion
,
by
striving
to
dispossesse
her
also
of
her
weapon
,
with
a
spleen
more
infernall
then
humane
,
because
she
could
not
hurt
me
,
she
resolved
to
wound
her selfe
,
whereby
I
might
be
esteemed
the
greater
criminall
,
to
take
off
that
blemish
which
hung
upon
her
reputation
by
her
too
violent
love
;
but
the
stroake
proved
more
deadly
then
perhaps
she
imagined
,
for
it
not
only
pierced
her
arme
,
where
she
onely
intended
it
,
but
by
reason
of
the
sharpnesse
of
the
point
,
entred
a
great
depth
into
her
naked
side
,
which
with
the
effusion
of
a
great
deale
of
bloud
(
that
at
last
called
up
most
part
of
the
house
to
her
assistance
)
left
her
dead
in
the
view
of
all
the
spectators
.
This
sad
disaster
,
as
you
may
imagine
,
sufficiently
inraged
the
whole
company
,
and
conceiving
me
either
the
actor
,
or
the
instrument
of
the
Tragedy
,
with
all
violence
haled
me
to
a
closer
prison
in
the
Castle
,
whilst
according
to
the
custome
of
those
parts
,
my
processe
was
to
be
made
the
next
morning
by
the
Justice
of
the
Towne
,
before
the
body
could
either
be
buried
or
imbalmed
.
This
accident
gave
my
confused
thoughts
sufficient
imployment
;
however
I
made
a
great
question
whether
I
should
confesse
my
name
,
or
conceale
my
condition
,
finding
by
my
citation
,
I
was
only
called
the
ungratefull
stranger
,
which
gave
me
some
opinion
that
my
quality
was
not
generally
knowne
in
the
City
;
believing
as
the
one
would
not
at
all
help
to
lessen
the
crime
pretended
against
me
,
but
rather
give
the
more
suspition
of
a
hidden
designe
,
in
that
I
durst
attempt
a
murther
of
that
horrid
nature
,
which
an
ordinary
person
would
never
have
performed
,
so
the
other
might
in
some
sort
helpe
to
hide
the
shame
to
our
Family
,
in
being
called
to
a
publick
defence
in
a
case
of
such
a
wickednesse
:
wherefore
I
determined
not
to
reveale
my selfe
,
untill
some
apparent
necessity
procured
it
.
At
my
arraignment
,
there
was
alleadged
against
me
besides
the
breach
of
the
rules
of
hospitality
,
how
that
it
was
impossible
any
other
could
commit
the
murther
,
since
Artemesia
was
found
alone
with
me
in
my
chamber
;
and
it
was
not
to
be
supposed
she
had
killed
her selfe
.
On
the
contrary
,
I
pretended
that
being
a
meer
stranger
in
those
parts
,
it
could
not
be
imagined
I
should
harbour
so
much
malice
in
my
breast
,
as
to
become
the
murtherer
of
one
that
had
treated
me
in
my
sicknesse
with
abundance
of
humanity
;
besides
I
said
,
the
weapon
which
had
given
Artemesia
her
deadly
wound
,
was
found
by
all
the
company
in
her
own
hand
:
but
the
businesse
being
thus
to
and
fro
violently
disputed
,
Artemesia's
nurse
was
sent
for
to
give
further
testimony
of
my
carriage
towards
her
Mistresse
during
my
aboade
in
the
Castle
,
which
could
not
chuse
but
give
in
the
opinion
of
all
there
present
,
a
great
deale
of
light
in
the
disputation
;
however
,
the
malicious
old
woman
imagining
her
declarations
might
afforde
me
some
assistance
,
refused
to
come
,
pretending
she
was
necessarily
imployed
in
the
Funerall
of
her
dead
Mistresse
,
being
locked
up
with
the
body
in
her
private
chamber
;
though
the
truth
was
,
she
thirsted
after
my
life
to
save
the
honour
of
Artemesia
,
and
the
whole
family
,
since
by
that
meanes
I
should
not
have
the
opportunity
to
divulge
her
preposterous
love
;
so
that
at
last
I
was
not
only
found
guilty
,
but
condemned
privately
to
lose
my
head
within
the
Castle
court
;
fearing
belike
in
my
last
speech
I
would
publish
some
passages
,
that
might
render
the
people
satisfied
of
my
innocency
,
and
Artemesia's
lasciviousnesse
,
Thus
finding
all
my
honest
Rhetorick
,
could
not
prevaile
in
my
just
defence
to
secure
me
from
condemnation
,
I
resolved
to
declare
my
person
,
hoping
that
although
it
might
not
prove
of
sufficient
force
to
divert
my
judgement
,
yet
neverthelesse
it
would
be
a
motive
to
protract
my
execution
untill
Philos
returned
from
Damascus
;
which
declaration
happily
me
with
my
expectation
:
For
after
the
Judges
with
much
amazement
had
entertained
the
knowledge
of
my
condition
,
being
the
son
of
him
who
was
esteemed
so
intimate
a
friend
to
the
Kingdome
of
Syria
,
they
not
only
presently
signed
my
reprieve
,
but
conveyed
me
with
all
the
respect
their
laws
would
give
them
leave
,
back
againe
to
the
prison
,
where
I
remained
untill
Philos
returne
,
who
brought
with
him
the
newes
of
Philostros
death
and
buriall
,
though
foure
dayes
time
was
spent
after
his
arrivall
before
he
offered
me
a
visit
,
in
which
space
I
had
liberty
enough
for
consideration
what
would
be
my
fate
:
At
last
he
came
and
saluted
me
with
this
discourse
to
my
no
small
adn
iration
.
My
Lord
said
he
,
I
must
not
onely
desire
you
to
forget
all
your
ill
usage
in
this
Castle
,
but
to
interpret
the
reasons
,
to
have
proceeded
from
a
womans
unruly
passion
(
for
I
cannot
give
it
a
better
Title
)
without
my
privity
,
which
my
future
actions
,
and
my
present
discourse
shall
testifie
,
if
either
you
will
believe
my
words
,
or
pardon
my
intentions
.
Be
pleased
then
in
short
to
know
,
for
my
resolution
is
to
make
unto
you
a
particular
confession
,
and
after
commit
my selfe
unto
you
goodnesse
and
mercy
,
that
when
you
and
the
faire
Princesse
Cloria
were
at
Memphis
with
Orsames
,
it
was
my
fortune
to
be
conquered
by
the
power
of
love
,
proceeding
not
only
from
the
excellency
of
her
beauty
and
conversation
,
but
as
I
may
say
was
thrust
upon
me
by
such
a
forcible
and
precipitate
fate
,
that
could
not
to
be
contradicted
by
the
power
of
any
reason
or
temper
;
in
so
much
as
I
must
tell
you
,
in
regard
of
those
passions
,
I
could
neither
eate
,
sleep
,
nor
rest
with
convenient
satisfaction
;
so
that
I
conceived
my selfe
obliged
for
my
preservation
,
to
contrive
a
project
with
the
Lydian
Ambassadour
then
remaining
at
Memphis
,
which
was
to
interrupt
your
passage
at
Sea
going
into
Cyprus
,
whereby
the
better
to
make
a
separation
between
your
love
,
and
that
which
the
Princesse
bore
you
,
that
both
mine
,
and
my
sister
Artemesias
might
succeed
in
the
places
:
And
however
the
gods
prevented
rather
the
manner
of
the
execution
,
then
the
effect
of
our
designes
,
by
contrary
stormes
and
accidents
at
Sea
,
yet
I
must
now
enforme
you
,
that
as
your selfe
by
fortune
were
taken
by
our
ships
,
which
hath
since
produced
this
late
dismall
mishap
concerning
my
sister
,
so
the
Princesse
Cloria
,
by
chance
falling
upon
the
Coasts
of
the
Island
of
Creet
,
is
now
delivered
into
the
possession
of
the
Senate
of
Lydia
;
and
they
as
I
am
enformed
,
from
those
Ambassadors
of
our
Country
that
are
at
Sardis
,
intend
with
some
violence
to
bestow
her
in
marriage
upon
her
Consin
Cassianus
Prince
of
Iberia
,
whereby
the
better
to
fortifie
their
pretentions
and
Titles
against
King
Euarchus
her
father
;
however
they
seemed
for
a
long
time
to
play
with
my
hopes
,
as
if
they
only
intended
her
for
my
satisfaction
,
belike
imagining
that
such
an
expectation
would
alwayes
be
sufficient
to
continue
our
family
faithfull
to
their
purposes
,
and
so
consequently
make
my
Uncle
Philostros
ever
willing
to
imploy
his
power
with
Orsames
for
their
advantages
;
but
he
being
now
dead
(
which
newes
they
have
already
received
in
Lydia
)
they
publickly
disclaime
from
having
any
such
intention
,
as
believing
now
we
can
no
more
contribute
profitably
to
their
designes
:
wherefore
as
my
thoughts
and
resolutions
intend
a
present
retirement
in
some
place
of
religion
,
to
seek
pardon
of
the
gods
for
my
many
violent
and
unjust
ambitions
,
so
did
I
very
well
know
,
their
mercies
in
no
kind
were
to
be
obtained
,
without
such
a
particular
declaration
of
my
own
faults
,
which
I
have
now
made
unto
you
:
as
I
can
no
way
doubt
of
your
charity
and
compassion
in
my
behalfe
,
according
to
the
noblenesse
of
your
nature
;
so
may
you
be
pleased
to
take
what
free
liberty
you
please
for
your
departure
,
with
a
promise
also
on
my
part
to
be
ready
to
assist
you
with
my
best
services
,
either
in
your
loves
to
the
fairest
Princesse
,
or
upon
what
other
occasion
soever
that
may
make
you
better
honoured
and
esteemed
in
the
world
.
After
he
had
delivered
thus
much
,
I
must
confesse
I
was
so
well
satisfied
with
this
discourse
;
not
onely
in
regard
of
your
safety
,
but
also
in
respect
of
my
own
releasement
,
that
Philos
imagined
as
I
then
thought
by
my
present
actions
and
expression
,
that
I
meant
to
run
away
from
him
,
for
suddainly
taking
me
by
the
hand
,
he
said
he
had
a
few
more
words
to
deliver
unto
me
,
that
concerned
his
sisters
proceedings
,
since
he
held
it
most
necessary
his
own
innocency
might
be
cleared
;
for
that
in
no
particular
he
protested
,
was
he
guilty
of
my
last
usage
.
As
I
cannot
deny
said
he
,
but
that
I
kindled
the
first
sparkles
by
my
commendation
of
your
person
and
worth
,
that
afterward
flamed
so
violently
in
my
sisters
bosome
;
so
of
the
other
side
,
I
never
expected
it
should
have
broken
out
to
such
an
ominous
passion
,
whereby
you
were
to
be
injured
without
measure
,
as
my
sister
destroyed
beyond
example
:
But
as
the
Gods
have
their
secret
workings
in
all
humane
things
,
we
must
with
patience
and
reverence
submit
all
our
endeavours
to
their
pleasure
,
which
will
for
the
most
part
keep
us
from
extravagant
and
wicked
actions
;
since
however
sometimes
we
might
faile
by
misprision
,
yet
by
a
small
repentance
we
should
againe
be
brought
into
our
accustomed
temper
,
when
as
letting
loose
the
reines
of
our
desires
without
moderation
,
we
are
borne
into
a
vast
Sea
of
confusion
,
that
produceth
nothing
but
prodigious
destructions
,
as
it
fared
with
Artemesia
,
who
was
resolved
because
she
could
not
obtaine
suddenly
what
her
own
thoughts
perhaps
esteemed
lawfull
,
to
convert
that
passion
to
so
strange
a
hate
,
that
of
necessity
would
not
onely
render
the
object
of
her
wishes
nothing
,
but
her selfe
miserable
without
hope
of
ever
being
able
to
enjoy
what
she
so
much
longed
for
;
however
her
old
nurses
counsels
,
although
they
did
not
contribute
to
her
passions
,
yet
they
produced
those
projects
that
caused
your
ill
usage
;
for
finding
you
were
not
by
any
faire
meanes
to
be
wonne
to
my
sisters
desires
,
she
advised
her
to
assay
the
contrary
,
to
try
if
that
course
could
terrifie
you
to
consent
:
All
which
Artemesia
confessed
before
her
death
,
her
body
againe
reviving
after
it
was
brought
into
her
private
Chamber
,
as
also
with
many
Teares
and
fighes
entreated
your
pardon
,
which
I
thought
good
to
acquaint
you
with
,
that
her
unfained
repentance
might
procure
your
charitable
forgivenesse
:
And
with
that
taking
me
by
the
hand
againe
with
terres
in
his
eyes
,
he
desired
me
as
a
testimony
of
a
perfect
reconciliation
,
I
would
vouchsafe
the
paines
to
visit
the
dead
Corpes
before
the
Funerals
,
which
shortly
were
to
be
performed
.
Although
I
went
with
him
as
fully
contented
in
my
minde
,
as
he
seemed
oppressed
with
sorrow
for
his
sisters
death
;
yet
I
could
not
chuse
but
have
a
noble
compassion
at
the
remembrance
of
the
Ladies
hard
fate
,
especially
for
that
the
cause
was
only
for
over
much
loving
me
,
but
at
my
arrivall
instead
of
imbracing
the
dead
body
,
to
my
wonderful
amazement
,
I
was
saluted
with
these
words
from
living
Artemesia
.
My
Lord
said
she
,
that
you
may
not
think
you
converse
with
dead
,
(
though
changed
)
Artemesia
,
you
must
first
know
,
that
after
I
had
performed
in
your
Lodgings
that
unparalleld
action
of
my
mad
rage
,
bathed
all
over
with
mine
own
bloud
,
I
was
carried
into
my
chamber
,
whilst
you
unknowne
to
me
was
in
danger
to
have
suffered
unjustly
for
my
fault
:
And
being
there
by
the
carefull
industry
of
mine
own
Physitian
,
without
the
privity
of
any
,
but
such
as
were
intrusted
about
my
person
,
I
was
not
onely
recovered
from
my
trance
,
but
before
my
brothers
arrivall
put
out
of
danger
of
death
;
however
,
I
desired
the
businesse
might
be
kept
secret
from
the
knowledge
of
all
but
my
intimate
servants
,
since
I
was
resolved
to
quit
the
world
by
a
more
religious
way
,
not
being
willing
to
support
the
shame
of
so
detestable
a
fact
:
yet
considering
that
an
absolute
repentance
could
not
be
,
where
there
wants
an
intention
of
full
satisfaction
,
I
was
desirous
with
my
own
mouth
,
to
make
this
declaration
before
I
enter
into
the
strict
rules
of
my
pennance
,
by
which
I
humbly
and
sorrowfully
beg
your
pardon
,
wishing
a
perpetuall
prosperity
to
the
chaste
loves
between
you
and
the
Princesse
Cloria
.
And
this
,
my
Lord
,
being
all
I
have
to
say
to
you
,
I
desire
you
will
have
no
more
remembrance
of
me
,
then
meerly
what
charity
instructs
your
pious
thoughts
.
And
with
these
words
she
drew
close
the
Curtaines
of
her
bed
,
not
willing
to
be
seen
,
or
any
more
spoken
withall
.
These
things
,
I
must
confesse
,
rather
appeared
to
my
imagination
visions
then
actions
,
untill
with
as
much
honour
as
could
be
devised
,
I
was
set
free
by
Philos
,
who
also
courteously
offered
to
accompany
me
with
his
best
service
in
my
journey
;
but
because
I
was
resolved
to
visit
the
place
of
your
aboad
in
a
disguize
,
not
onely
for
that
I
knew
you
were
in
the
custody
of
your
enemies
;
but
also
in
that
I
had
a
desire
to
understand
by
the
way
,
the
secrets
of
the
Senates
intention
concerning
Cassianus
love
,
which
I
must
confesse
gave
my
thoughts
some
trouble
,
I
refused
his
offer
.
As
this
discourse
seemed
to
give
a
singular
content
to
the
lovely
Princesse
,
demonstrated
by
many
visible
signes
,
both
in
her
eyes
and
blushes
;
so
Roxana
,
who
had
all
the
while
,
with
a
most
exact
attentivenesse
,
given
eare
to
his
severall
relations
,
uttered
this
language
,
with
a
kind
of
a
formall
gravity
:
Truly
my
Lord
,
said
she
,
you
have
not
onely
gallantly
now
cleared
all
our
doubts
and
feares
,
but
also
in
my
opinion
have
carried
your selfe
in
your
difficult
adventures
,
more
like
a
valiant
Martyr
,
then
a
constant
lover
,
which
I
must
confesse
deserves
both
praise
and
requitall
:
and
yet
Governesse
,
said
the
Princesse
,
we
must
not
commend
him
overmuch
,
lest
he
expect
a
greater
reward
then
we
shall
be
willing
to
afford
him
.
Deare
Cloria
,
replied
Narcissus
,
I
cannot
but
confesse
my
own
covetousnesse
,
since
no
lesse
a
present
can
content
my
thoughts
,
then
your
admirable
selfe
,
which
is
a
Jewell
beyond
the
price
of
the
whole
world
:
But
said
Cloria
,
the
chiefe
property
of
Jewels
,
are
to
be
looked
upon
at
a
distance
;
wherefore
,
if
you
will
be
satisfied
onely
with
that
liberty
and
moderation
,
perhaps
I
shall
without
much
difficulty
grant
your
request
.
Yet
Madam
,
replied
Roxana
,
it
is
most
necessary
he
make
choice
of
some
other
apparrell
,
better
to
become
his
person
;
so
may
you
have
both
the
conveniency
now
and
then
to
meet
in
these
walkes
without
suspition
,
untill
the
confusion
now
in
the
Kingdome
afford
you
a
greater
liberty
.
But
Narcissus
most
earnestly
entreated
to
be
entertained
at
a
neerer
distance
;
however
without
fruit
,
in
regard
both
Cloria
and
Roxana
apprehended
,
that
his
passion
to
see
Cassianus
sometimes
received
as
a
suitor
,
though
but
with
appearing
complements
,
would
provoke
him
to
some
actions
,
which
might
either
prejudice
their
liberties
,
or
discover
his
person
;
for
that
neither
of
them
could
yet
be
over-confident
,
of
Cassianus
intentions
and
fidelity
concerning
the
old
Flamin
,
although
he
had
not
since
their
late
discourse
,
either
shewed
any
manner
of
discontent
,
or
so
much
as
troubled
them
with
visits
.
Narcissus
,
when
he
saw
he
could
not
by
any
means
prevaile
in
his
desire
,
as
if
he
had
been
at
the
instant
possest
with
some
Poeticall
fury
,
began
this
complaint
in
verse
;
which
the
Princesse
,
being
excellent
also
in
that
faculty
,
as
quickly
answered
extempore
.
Narcissus
.
Most
dearest
Love
,
recall
thy
hard
decree
,
that
seems
both
rigorous
to
thee
and
me
;
The
coldest
rocks
,
though
cover'd
all
with
Snow
,
upon
the
Sunnes
approach
begin
to
thaw
.
Cloria
.
But
vertue
must
not
so
admit
a
flame
,
to
be
it selfe
end
angered
by
the
same
;
As
appetites
doe
kindle
false
desires
,
discretion
must
oppose
t'
allay
the
fires
.
Narcissus
.
O
doe
not
so
prophane
a
holy
name
,
by
scruples
that
doe
onely
vertue
staine
;
Long
since
I
have
your
word
,
yours
is
a
debt
,
wherefore
unjust
the
payment
to
neglect
.
Cloria
.
Yet
't
is
extortion
,
not
a
lawfull
due
,
to
take
by
force
,
and
never
rightly
sue
:
When
contracts
name
no
time
(
you
know
)
we
may
defer
the
payment
to
a
longer
day
.
Narcissus
.
But
it
s
unjust
for
to
defraud
a
law
,
onely
by
sleights
,
that
faine
would
over-awe
Prformauce
:
No
Cloria
,
you
ought
to
know
,
The
race
being
wonne
,
the
prize
you
must
bestow
.
Cloria
.
I
partly
grant
your
argument
;
howere
you
must
not
be
the
judge
,
my
parents
beare
The
greatest
share
in
government
,
since
I
am
theirs
,
and
borrow
but
my
liberty
.
Narcissus
.
Surely
that
Tye's
dissolv'd
and
free
,
when
they
have
neither
power
to
give
,
or
we
to
pray
;
If
the
exigence
be
such
to
them
and
we
,
no
reason
that
our
right
should
hindred
be
.
Cloria
.
You
still
mistake
;
I
doe
no
right
refuse
,
but
for
prevention
onely
physick
take
,
To
temper
heady
sense
,
which
well
I
see
,
looks
chiefly
at
it selfe
,
and
minds
not
me
.
Narcissus
.
O
heavens
above
,
when
did
you
ever
read
,
of
such
a
temper
,
which
you
seem
to
plead
?
Have
not
the
gods
approv'd
the
influence
,
that
your
philosophy
would
make
but
sense
.
Cloria
.
Such
false
Deities
as
you
example
were
,
but
onely
Poets
gods
,
whose
lust
and
feare
,
Render'd
their
Nuptials
rapes
,
vice
their
designe
,
and
did
but
cozen
fooles
with
names
divine
.
Narcissus
.
Where
shall
we
seek
to
finde
Religion
then
,
if
not
in
love
of
either
gods
or
men
?
This
paradoxe
observ'd
,
will
surely
turn
the
world
into
a
Chaos
,
and
men
to
burn
.
Cloria
.
Rather
such
loves
were
nought
but
sensuall
dreams
,
that
made
their
thoughts
a
Chaos
of
extreams
;
Still
craving
more
,
without
the
harmony
of
soules
,
that
onely
us
can
satisfie
.
Narcissus
.
Alas
,
deare
soule
!
although
your
rhetoricke
,
would
fain
perswade
my
trembling
heart
that
's
sick
,
To
what
you
please
;
yet
't
were
hypocrisie
,
for
me
to
seem
to
like
your
tyranny
.
Cloria
.
Nere
did
a
tyrant
practice
temperance
,
my
innocence
seeks
onely
to
advance
,
The
lawes
of
love
and
honour
,
those
being
left
,
marriage
is
a
thraldome
or
a
theft
.
Narcissus
.
How
should
I
plead
for
love
,
much
lesse
contend
,
when
you
in
love
will
not
become
my
friend
?
But
leave
me
with
tortures
the
fruit
to
catch
,
that
you
with
crafty
slights
from
me
doe
snatch
.
Cloria
.
T
is
passion
not
craft
,
that
injures
love
,
and
from
your selfe
not
me
,
your
torments
move
,
Which
ought
be
checkt
,
least
our
expected
joyes
in
future
times
prove
but
confused
ioyes
.
Narcissus
.
At
leastwise
I
must
call
that
temper
cruell
,
that
starves
my
flames
for
want
of
fitting
fuell
,
Since
I
can
neither
quench
those
fires
that
burne
or
warme
my selfe
which
way
so
ere
I
turne
.
Cloria
.
There
is
no
meanes
so
good
to
still
a
flame
,
as
for
to
cast
on
milke
upon
the
same
:
Calme
then
your
thoughts
,
and
be
content
to
beare
the
just
decree
,
which
passion
will
not
heare
.
Narcissus
,
Certainly
faire
Creature
you
feele
no
paine
,
that
wooes
me
thus
my
passions
to
refrain
;
For
those
that
tortures
taste
upon
the
rack
,
cannot
be
blamed
if
they
some
courage
lack
.
Cloria
.
Yet
such
as
faile
in
their
owne
constancy
,
imply
a
guilt
,
and
doe
as
faulty
dye
;
When
others
that
their
tryalls
overcome
,
doe
save
their
lives
,
and
gaine
a
lawrell
Crowne
.
After
the
Princesse
had
thus
perswaded
Narcissus
to
be
contented
,
finding
the
time
of
the
day
gave
them
no
more
opportunity
,
she
rose
up
to
returne
to
the
Castle
;
however
assuring
him
as
often
as
she
could
without
danger
to
her selfe
she
would
frequent
those
walkes
for
his
satisfaction
;
This
being
the
decree
all
the
favours
poore
Narcissus
could
obtaine
further
of
the
wilfull
Princesse
was
,
only
one
parting
kisse
,
in
recompence
of
all
his
travells
;
which
being
obtained
,
she
and
her
Governesse
went
home
joyfully
discoursing
of
their
good
fortune
,
which
continued
Cloria's
thoughts
in
such
a
paradise
all
the
night
following
,
that
scarce
did
her
faire
eyes
entertain
any
rest
at
all
;
Thus
as
I
say
,
shee
took
paines
to
please
her
imagination
,
whilst
her
body
wanted
that
sleep
it
necessarily
required
;
which
was
an
occasion
that
after
dinner
the
next
day
she
cast
her selfe
upon
her
bed
,
something
to
supply
the
defect
of
the
night
past
;
but
presently
upon
her
waking
her
Dwarfe
told
her
,
that
a
young
handsome
Priest
at
the
gate
,
humbly
desired
to
be
admitted
to
the
speech
of
her
highnesse
,
having
as
he
said
,
businesse
of
great
consequence
to
impart
unto
her
.
This
sudden
intelligence
gave
Clorias
thoughts
some
trouble
,
doubting
a
disasterous
adventure
,
the
rather
for
that
her
newly
being
wakened
from
the
Ideas
of
her
chiefe
delight
,
it
seemed
to
interrupt
her
apprehension
with
a
contrary
feare
,
of
being
dispossest
of
what
she
had
enjoyed
by
her
flattering
fancy
;
however
she
called
Roxana
to
accompany
her
in
the
expectation
,
commanding
the
little
messenger
not
only
to
usher
in
that
stranger
,
that
seemed
so
importunate
,
but
afterward
himselfe
to
wait
in
the
outward
roome
,
because
she
would
have
none
privy
to
the
businesse
,
before
she
and
her
Governesse
were
informed
of
the
contents
.
But
no
sooner
did
Cloria
view
this
new
intruder
,
but
but
she
knew
him
to
be
him
whom
she
most
desired
to
see
,
her
young
servant
Narcissus
,
who
had
borrowed
the
habite
of
one
of
Apollos
Priests
,
in
a
Temple
where
he
lodged
the
night
past
amongst
the
woods
,
to
keep
him
from
every
ones
knowledge
but
her
own
,
and
her
intrusted
Governesse
Roxana
:
neverthelesse
the
rigid
old
woman
began
to
raile
downe
right
at
his
presumption
,
vowing
with
his
too
much
passion
he
would
destroy
them
all
;
this
gave
Cloria
occasion
to
laugh
heartily
,
seeing
her
poor
servant
with
innocent
looks
,
to
undergoe
the
cholerick
reproofe
of
Roxana
,
without
replying
one
single
word
to
her
hasty
language
,
yet
his
patience
not
only
by
little
and
little
procured
him
his
peace
;
but
after
a
long
conference
with
his
compassionate
Mistresse
,
by
the
free
consent
of
her
Governesse
,
who
at
last
became
perswaded
,
he
was
entertained
for
a
houshold
servant
;
however
the
sweet
Princesse
seemed
unwilling
to
prophance
his
sacred
robes
with
any
hypocrisie
.
But
one
day
Cassianus
comming
to
visit
the
Princesse
,
the
gods
know
with
what
an
envious
jealousie
Narcissus
underwent
this
ceremonies
;
sometimes
he
had
a
will
to
have
interrupted
his
passage
at
the
entrance
into
her
chamber
;
other
while
againe
he
thought
to
have
alleadged
she
was
asleep
,
and
could
not
be
disquieted
in
her
rest
;
and
last
of
all
he
began
to
have
a
resolution
to
quit
his
borrowed
habit
,
and
challenge
him
for
his
boldnesse
,
in
pretending
in
his
presence
to
his
right
:
And
a
thousand
other
fancies
entertained
his
imagination
,
almost
in
an
instant
,
when
there
was
no
more
time
left
him
for
these
considerations
;
but
whilst
Cloria
was
advertized
of
Cassianus
arrivall
,
and
he
admitted
into
her
chamber
;
whither
Narcissus
followed
him
with
greedy
steps
to
be
a
curious
eye
witnesse
of
his
behaviour
:
And
when
he
saw
Cloria
with
a
gentle
modesty
admit
of
her
Cousins
salutation
,
she
being
not
willing
to
give
him
any
discontent
,
by
reason
of
the
old
Flamine
that
was
at
his
mercy
,
his
colour
began
to
change
in
his
face
;
one
while
the
beautifull
red
seemed
to
claime
an
interest
in
revenge
,
notwithstanding
all
the
prohibitions
of
his
sweet
Mistresse
:
then
againe
the
faire
white
had
the
prerogative
,
and
pretended
feare
to
Clorias
commands
;
so
that
in
this
manner
they
never
left
combating
in
his
lovely
countenance
,
untill
he
was
rid
of
the
occasion
of
those
disorders
.
Not
many
dayes
after
Cassianus
had
performed
his
unwelcome
visit
,
the
Senate
belike
jealous
of
the
Princesse
safety
,
in
regard
the
King
her
father
had
been
strangely
rescued
from
their
power
by
that
Army
that
not
long
before
they
esteemed
their
Subjects
,
suddenly
commanded
not
onely
those
servants
to
be
removed
from
their
accustomed
attendance
that
had
been
about
her
person
,
but
her selfe
and
Roxana
to
be
conducted
to
a
stronger
Fort
,
there
to
remaine
with
better
security
,
and
more
honour
as
they
pretended
,
until
the
present
distractions
of
Lydia
could
in
some
sort
be
pacified
;
in
which
number
poor
Narcissus
became
also
prescribed
,
which
converted
his
past
content
into
an
unexpressible
rage
;
some
time
blaming
the
heavens
for
not
punishing
the
cruelty
as
he
interpreted
it
,
of
the
unjust
and
barbarons
decree
,
then
againe
he
absolutely
fell
out
with
himselfe
,
that
he
had
not
ability
beyond
humane
force
,
to
prevent
the
execution
of
such
a
pernicious
command
.
But
alasse
,
his
vaine
passions
were
so
farre
from
defending
the
Princesse
Cloria
against
that
violence
offered
to
her
person
,
that
he
had
not
so
much
liberty
as
by
one
deare
kisse
to
take
leave
of
her
white
hand
,
amongst
the
rest
of
her
traine
,
who
were
admitted
to
that
sorrowfull
honour
:
for
the
rigid
guard
finding
by
his
distracted
lookes
,
and
extravagant
words
,
that
he
had
not
patience
enough
in
his
breast
,
to
comply
punctually
with
their
strict
commission
,
quickly
discharged
him
from
his
ordinary
attendance
,
before
they
disposed
of
the
rest
of
the
servants
.
This
accident
soon
retired
Narcissus
into
the
neighbouring
woods
,
there
to
complaine
only
to
Rocks
and
stones
of
the
greatnesse
of
the
Princesse
injury
,
and
his
owne
misfortunes
,
in
which
place
he
remained
in
his
wilde
passion
,
untill
want
of
food
and
lodging
,
constrained
him
to
turne
his
thoughts
to
consider
his
present
necessity
,
and
to
that
purpose
resolved
to
seek
some
habitation
,
where
he
might
receive
entertainement
,
untill
he
could
further
dispose
of
his
determination
;
since
he
found
these
fruitlesse
sorrowes
and
distracted
expressions
,
neither
eased
his
griefe
or
profited
his
love
.
Wherefore
after
he
had
travelled
three
or
foure
dayes
in
the
vast
Forrest
,
with
such
provision
only
as
he
could
get
in
poore
and
contemptible
Cottages
,
as
he
past
through
a
thick
wood
,
which
seemed
to
obscure
a
certaine
Plaine
that
lay
beyond
it
,
his
melancholy
eares
of
a
sudden
were
saluted
with
a
certaine
kind
of
rude
musick
,
that
appeared
also
more
confused
,
for
that
it
was
at
many
periods
accompanied
with
the
loud
acclamations
of
common
people
.
As
this
seemed
a
strange
adventure
to
his
imagination
,
after
such
an
absolute
silence
for
so
many
dayes
in
his
solitary
perambulation
,
where
dolefull
ecchoes
appeared
to
have
beene
in
a
manner
his
only
companions
;
with
the
uncouth
fall
of
waters
from
high
and
unaccessible
precipices
;
so
the
unexpected
newnesse
againe
of
probability
of
humane
conversation
,
put
on
a
little
his
desire
to
be
curious
,
though
scarce
was
he
willing
to
allow
himselfe
any
content
at
all
,
since
she
that
was
the
delight
of
his
soule
,
had
been
forcibly
separated
from
his
sight
;
neverthelesse
prosecuting
his
intention
,
he
directed
his
steps
towards
the
place
where
he
heard
the
noyse
,
through
the
intangled
Bryers
,
and
almost
impassable
bushes
,
which
sufficiently
moderated
his
haste
,
and
protracted
his
march
,
yet
at
last
with
much
paine
,
he
arrived
neere
the
outside
of
the
wood
,
where
he
might
perceive
through
the
branches
of
the
trees
,
in
a
spacious
Plaine
,
a
great
many
of
Countrey
people
gathered
about
a
little
Altar
,
raised
six
steps
above
the
ground
;
at
which
stood
an
old
Priest
offering
sacrifice
to
the
god
Pun
,
as
appeared
by
his
statue
placed
upon
certaine
bases
composed
of
rough
stone
,
and
with
more
unpolished
workmanship
.
This
discovery
invited
Narcissus
to
attend
the
issue
with
silence
,
and
the
rather
for
that
at
every
full
point
,
and
stop
of
the
Priest
in
his
devotions
,
the
multitude
suddenly
took
hands
in
a
joyfull
agreement
one
with
another
,
and
danced
many
rounds
,
about
the
Image
in
a
rurall
manner
,
to
the
only
Musicke
of
their
untunable
voyces
,
though
a
certaine
ditty
,
which
he
could
not
understand
by
any
words
they
uttered
,
appeared
to
expresse
the
intention
of
their
mirth
,
though
onely
knowne
to
themselves
in
respect
of
the
rudenesse
of
the
language
,
and
the
harshnesse
of
the
delivery
.
When
Narcissus
had
a
long
time
enterteined
his
wonder
with
the
sight
of
this
extraordinary
pastime
,
desiring
also
to
satisfie
his
understanding
of
the
reason
of
their
assembly
,
he
approached
nearer
the
company
,
with
an
intention
to
enquire
of
some
standing
by
,
not
onely
what
the
occasion
might
be
of
that
solemnity
,
but
how
he
should
the
readiest
way
find
out
the
next
convenient
Towne
to
give
him
reception
;
And
the
opportunity
fitted
well
with
his
desire
;
for
the
Priest
having
performed
all
the
rights
and
ceremonies
belonging
to
his
office
,
was
newly
retired
some
distance
from
the
multitude
,
to
a
small
rising
banke
;
as
well
to
repose
himselfe
,
as
to
behold
with
greater
conveniency
the
continued
sport
,
wherein
he
seemed
to
have
more
then
an
ordinary
interest
,
which
made
Narcissus
quickly
addresse
himselfe
to
him
with
this
courteous
language
.
Father
said
he
,
I
hope
it
is
the
custome
in
these
parts
,
especially
amongst
those
of
your
profession
,
not
to
take
ill
any
curiosity
of
a
stranger
,
that
seekes
civilly
to
be
enformed
as
well
in
the
manners
of
the
Countrey
where
he
passeth
,
as
of
a
convenient
place
that
may
give
him
entertainment
:
And
that
I
may
prevent
your
demand
which
I
make
no
doubt
will
seem
necessary
to
your
judgement
,
be
pleased
to
know
that
I
am
by
birth
of
the
Island
of
Cyprus
,
and
intending
a
pilgrimage
to
the
Temple
of
Delphos
,
am
by
chance
fallen
into
your
company
.
The
Priest
seeing
himselfe
saluted
by
a
young
man
,
though
in
his
own
habit
of
such
an
excellent
beauty
,
and
so
perfect
a
shape
,
presently
not
only
rose
up
from
his
seat
,
to
give
him
the
more
respectfull
welcome
,
but
told
him
for
his
lodging
the
night
to
come
,
since
the
time
of
the
day
perhaps
might
prevent
him
of
a
better
conveniency
,
he
should
hold
it
an
extraordinary
honour
,
that
his
own
poor
habitation
might
performe
the
service
:
and
the
rather
as
he
said
for
that
their
professions
seemed
to
agree
by
the
outward
resemblance
of
the
Robes
.
Narcissus
was
not
much
displeased
with
the
offer
,
as
well
because
he
found
himselfe
something
weary
by
reason
of
those
extravagant
and
uncertaine
journeyes
he
had
made
,
as
also
that
he
might
hope
by
this
opportunity
to
get
further
information
concerning
his
own
resolutions
,
that
yet
he
had
not
fully
determined
.
Wherefore
after
he
had
returned
the
Father
a
civill
thankes
for
his
favour
,
with
an
intimation
he
was
willing
to
accept
of
his
charitable
kindnesse
,
they
both
sate
downe
together
upon
the
bankside
,
to
behold
the
finishing
of
those
rurall
delights
,
that
passionately
seemed
to
imploy
the
Countrey
people
,
which
gave
occasion
to
Narcissus
to
demand
the
reason
of
that
extraordinary
mirth
,
that
possessed
the
thoughts
of
the
whole
company
.
The
Priest
after
he
had
a
little
smiled
to
thinke
of
the
strangers
apprehension
,
told
him
,
since
he
perceived
his
curiosity
went
so
farre
as
to
be
satisfied
in
those
petty
affaires
,
he
would
take
the
paines
to
let
him
know
the
originall
that
produced
the
effects
,
which
as
he
said
was
the
more
proper
for
his
entertainment
;
since
the
occasion
at
the
present
detained
almost
all
Asia
both
in
expectation
and
wonder
;
however
he
feared
his
story
might
be
too
tedious
for
his
patience
.
But
Narcissus
seeming
rather
passionate
at
the
satissaction
then
distasted
at
the
offer
;
the
Priest
retired
something
further
into
the
woods
,
to
be
more
out
of
the
noyse
of
the
people
,
where
after
he
had
setled
the
strangers
expectation
to
a
silent
attentivenesse
,
he
began
this
discourse
.
Sir
said
he
,
you
must
be
pleased
to
know
that
our
King
Euarchus
grandmother
called
Minerva
,
(
by
whose
right
he
came
to
weare
all
those
Crownes
he
was
once
possessor
of
,
and
might
still
have
enjoyed
in
a
prosperous
measure
,
if
his
fortunes
had
been
equall
to
his
goodnesse
,
or
his
Subjects
loyaltie
answerable
to
his
own
eminent
worth
)
was
a
Princesse
of
such
excellent
vertues
,
that
it
had
been
a
controversie
between
art
and
nature
,
whether
had
more
bountifully
contributed
to
the
adorning
of
her
royall
person
;
however
,
she
only
raigned
in
Mysia
,
a
Country
not
only
barren
in
production
of
the
fruits
of
the
earth
,
but
luxurious
in
the
unfaithfulnesse
of
the
people
,
though
her
birth
justly
claimed
the
inheritance
of
this
rich
Kingdome
of
Lydia
after
our
Queen
then
raigning
here
;
I
say
this
admirable
Princesse
had
a
base
brother
also
,
named
Leonatus
,
who
wanted
not
ambition
enough
to
desire
the
Crowne
of
Mysia
,
though
he
were
not
furnished
with
sufficient
vertues
to
merit
such
a
dignity
;
and
to
this
purpose
left
nothing
unattempted
that
might
either
advance
his
own
esteem
or
deprave
his
sisters
actions
;
and
to
that
end
insinnated
himself
by
all
meanes
possible
,
not
only
into
the
good
opinion
of
the
Lords
,
but
much
more
into
the
favour
of
the
common
people
;
in
which
interim
the
young
Princesse
being
furnished
with
youth
and
beauty
,
was
perswaded
by
the
chiefe
nobility
to
thinke
of
a
noble
husband
that
might
accompany
her
in
her
conversation
,
and
give
the
Kingdome
a
hope
of
posterity
,
two
essentiall
parts
as
they
pretended
of
her
own
happinesse
;
in
prosecution
of
this
desire
,
there
was
presented
unto
her
view
a
handsome
Lord
of
this
our
Countrey
of
Lydia
:
in
conclusion
the
nuptials
were
quickly
solemnized
to
the
appearing
content
of
both
parties
;
and
the
rather
for
that
the
then
Queene
of
Lydia
was
well
satisfied
with
the
choyce
,
not
doubting
to
maintaine
by
this
meanes
a
continual
and
strong
interest
in
the
Kingdome
of
Mysia
,
since
she
had
married
to
the
Princesse
one
of
her
own
Subjects
.
But
now
Leonatus
began
to
play
his
part
;
for
finding
this
conjunction
proved
a
bar
to
his
pretention
for
succession
,
he
thought
it
his
best
way
to
establish
himselfe
notwithstanding
,
a
certain
power
in
the
government
,
and
to
that
purpose
strived
by
all
meanes
his
malicious
will
could
instruct
,
to
gaine
the
good
opinion
of
the
young
King
,
whereby
to
set
him
at
difference
with
the
Queen
,
who
began
to
be
a
little
distasted
,
to
see
his
wife
take
upon
her
so
absolute
authority
,
he
only
bearing
the
name
of
a
Prince
;
which
at
last
grew
to
such
a
height
,
by
the
underhand
provocation
of
wicked
Leonatus
,
that
one
day
when
the
Queene
(
being
great
with
child
)
was
retired
into
her
private
chamber
,
to
conferre
with
a
certain
Secretary
of
State
,
most
imployed
in
the
Kingdomes
affaires
,
her
husband
of
a
sudden
rusht
into
her
presence
with
his
sword
drawne
,
and
there
before
her
amazed
eyes
slaughtered
her
poore
servant
.
However
this
was
an
act
of
some
horrour
to
the
great
bellied
Queen
,
and
so
consequently
might
be
thought
sufficient
motives
of
her
lasting
indignation
,
to
see
her selfe
and
authority
so
affronted
by
one
she
had
lately
raised
from
being
a
Subject
to
be
her
husband
;
yet
religion
and
good
nature
proved
so
powerfull
in
her
noble
disposition
,
that
upon
the
Kings
sorrow
and
submission
,
she
was
content
both
to
forgive
the
injury
,
and
forget
the
dishonour
by
a
perfect
reconciliation
.
But
Leonatus
not
weary
yet
of
his
own
wickednesse
,
though
despairing
of
his
further
ability
to
retain
his
interest
with
the
young
King
,
since
the
Queen
as
he
thought
had
so
absolutely
circumvented
him
in
that
project
,
of
a
sudden
stroake
into
friendship
with
certaine
factious
Priests
,
that
had
newly
brought
in
a
religion
into
Mysia
,
that
taught
this
dangerous
Doctrine
;
That
Princes
deserved
no
longer
to
governe
,
then
whilst
they
contented
the
People
.
Which
opinion
you
may
very
well
imagine
,
took
feelingly
with
the
multitude
,
in
so
much
as
in
a
short
time
the
Queen
had
imployment
enough
,
to
defend
her
person
from
reproaches
,
as
her
Kingdome
from
civill
warre
;
This
exceedingly
tormented
her
thoughts
,
untill
the
birth
of
her
young
sonne
againe
revived
her
spirits
:
however
Leonatus
still
prosecuting
his
horrid
designes
to
supplant
the
Queen
in
her
just
right
,
whereby
to
bring
the
government
of
the
Kingdome
under
his
own
jurisdiction
,
one
night
secretly
caused
not
only
the
young
King
to
be
cruelly
murthered
in
his
bed
,
in
execution
of
his
revenge
,
because
he
had
quitted
his
party
,
but
also
laid
the
bloudy
slaughter
,
by
way
of
private
aspersions
,
upon
the
innocent
and
religious
Queen
,
the
more
to
bring
her
in
hatred
with
the
common
people
,
who
seemed
already
sufficiently
poysoned
,
by
the
late
pernicious
doctrine
brought
into
the
Countrey
by
the
turbulent
Priests
:
Although
these
crafty
practises
had
not
as
yet
power
to
shake
,
or
rather
absolutely
to
destroy
her
grounded
authority
,
which
had
been
cast
upon
her
by
so
rightfull
a
succession
,
yet
by
little
and
little
they
so
wounded
her
reputation
,
that
they
made
her
desire
to
have
a
faithfull
companion
,
to
assist
her
in
her
government
;
which
politick
Leonatus
perceiving
,
judging
it
a
love
passion
in
the
Queen
,
put
on
some
of
the
nobility
underhand
to
perswade
her
,
not
only
presently
to
marry
,
but
to
take
for
her
husband
a
valiant
Gentleman
his
intimate
friend
,
who
a
long
time
had
pretended
unto
her
love
,
however
he
was
not
without
some
suspition
,
that
he
had
been
an
actor
in
the
Kings
death
;
with
these
baites
I
say
Leonatus
so
farre
intangled
the
Queenes
innocency
,
that
she
was
wonne
by
perswasion
to
make
this
election
,
being
councelled
thereunto
by
the
chiefe
nobility
,
set
upon
her
to
that
purpose
,
though
she
first
caused
a
decree
to
be
past
by
the
unanimous
consent
of
all
,
that
this
Lord
had
been
no
way
guilty
,
of
the
false
aspersion
his
enemies
had
cast
upon
him
,
concerning
the
Kings
murther
.
No
sooner
were
these
nuptials
solemnized
,
which
was
the
thing
Leonatus
desired
,
but
secretly
he
admonished
the
new
King
to
flye
,
assuring
him
as
his
friend
,
that
either
he
would
be
suddenly
slaine
by
many
that
had
conspired
his
death
,
or
publickly
be
apprehended
and
brought
to
his
Tryall
by
the
consent
of
the
whole
Kingdome
;
so
that
he
,
whether
knowing
himselfe
faulty
indeed
,
or
fearing
the
power
and
injustice
of
his
enemies
,
since
emulation
amongst
his
equalls
had
procured
him
a
world
of
envy
,
quickly
followed
his
advice
,
and
privately
without
the
Queenes
privity
,
quitted
his
Country
and
Fortunes
.
Leonatus
conceiving
now
he
had
compassed
the
hardest
part
of
his
projects
,
sent
secretly
into
Lydia
to
possesse
the
Queen
there
,
with
an
assurance
of
Minerva's
guilt
,
since
she
had
married
the
murtherer
of
her
first
husband
;
too
apparently
,
as
he
pretended
,
discovered
by
his
strange
flight
:
at
the
same
time
also
,
by
the
help
of
his
factious
priests
,
he
raised
tumults
against
her
,
in
her
own
kingdome
,
whereby
she
became
imprisoned
,
because
she
would
not
quit
her
government
.
This
you
may
believe
,
gave
the
poore
Queen
sufficient
imployment
;
insomuch
as
being
wearied
by
continuall
troubles
,
and
invited
to
the
Court
of
Lydia
by
her
kinswomans
promises
for
her
better
and
quiet
protection
,
she
was
content
to
resigne
the
Crown
to
her
sonne
,
and
accept
of
those
offers
she
esteemed
reall
.
But
alas
,
no
sooner
was
she
arrived
within
the
bounds
of
this
kingdome
of
Lydia
,
but
contrary
to
her
expectation
,
wherefore
amazed
in
the
execution
,
instead
of
being
admitted
into
the
Queens
presence
with
love
and
honour
,
she
was
commanded
as
a
prisoner
to
a
Castle
not
farre
off
;
whilst
in
the
mean
time
her
young
sonne
was
committed
to
the
tuition
of
Leonatus
her
worst
enemy
;
however
with
this
pretention
,
that
as
soon
as
she
could
cleare
her selfe
of
those
aspersions
and
accusations
that
her
subjects
brought
against
her
,
she
should
enjoy
those
respects
at
Court
which
had
been
largely
promised
her
;
though
in
the
interim
she
must
be
content
with
her
fortune
,
since
the
State
of
Lydia
thought
it
not
fit
for
one
in
her
condition
,
bespotted
with
the
opinion
of
so
black
a
crime
,
should
have
any
correspondence
with
their
Queen
,
as
't
was
pretended
,
of
so
bright
a
vertue
;
when
the
gods
know
,
it
was
either
the
too
much
cleernesse
of
her
own
good
parts
,
or
the
rightfulnesse
of
her
title
,
being
of
a
contrary
Religion
,
that
was
the
onely
obstacle
of
her
happinesse
.
But
whilst
Minerua
under-went
for
many
yeeres
a
hard
imprisonment
in
Lydia
,
since
the
Queen
her selfe
was
so
farre
from
easing
her
of
her
bonds
,
as
she
would
never
give
eare
to
her
complaints
;
the
King
her
young
sonne
began
to
approach
to
mans
estate
,
and
that
maturenesse
in
age
,
gave
him
a
feeling
of
his
mothers
oppressions
;
but
her
enemies
in
Mysia
being
also
backt
from
the
States
in
these
parts
,
who
had
an
intention
all
they
could
to
suppresse
his
greatnesse
,
that
he
might
have
no
power
to
claim
his
right
in
the
kingdome
of
Lydia
,
gave
his
thoughts
and
actions
not
onely
continuall
interruptions
,
but
at
last
imprisoned
his
very
person
in
his
own
kingdome
.
Notwithstanding
all
this
,
the
wise
King
bore
these
insolencies
with
unexampled
patience
,
knowing
that
as
it
was
not
in
his
power
to
free
himselfe
from
their
tyranny
by
any
Kingly
pretention
;
so
of
the
other
side
he
hoped
that
factions
amongst
themselves
would
at
last
purchase
his
liberty
.
In
this
state
he
continued
,
untill
his
Guard
found
that
it
might
be
prejudiciall
to
his
Titles
in
Lydia
,
after
the
old
Queens
death
,
to
keep
him
thus
as
a
prisoner
,
whereby
they
might
also
be
debarred
from
a
plentifull
share
of
the
gain
,
when
Lydia
by
succession
should
fall
to
him
;
upon
these
considerations
,
they
of
a
sudden
,
not
onely
released
him
,
from
his
confinement
,
but
every
one
of
these
men
themselves
strived
who
might
be
most
in
his
favour
;
when
as
he
not
onely
as
a
good
natured
Prince
,
forgot
all
his
injuries
,
but
became
sufficiently
pleased
to
be
at
liberty
,
upon
any
termes
.
But
the
old
Queen
of
Lydia
,
drawing
now
to
her
last
period
,
both
of
life
and
Kingdome
;
conceiving
it
was
reason
sufficient
for
a
just
jealousie
,
to
have
the
heire
apparant
so
neere
her
jurisdiction
,
whom
she
imagined
looked
upon
her
continuance
;
like
a
young
blossome
,
that
strived
to
thrust
out
the
ancient
and
withered
flower
from
its
stalke
,
began
suddenly
to
question
the
poore
Princesse
(
her
selfe
also
being
almost
worn
out
by
her
hard
usage
)
about
her
correspondence
with
those
forraine
powers
,
who
were
of
her
kindred
;
And
not
content
with
any
answer
the
truth
of
her
proceedings
could
make
,
called
her
to
her
triall
before
ordinary
Commissioners
.
As
these
might
be
evident
marks
of
Minerva's
ruine
,
so
were
they
not
undiscovered
by
the
sharp
apprehension
of
the
wise
Lady
,
though
her
spightfull
fate
,
would
not
afford
her
preservation
,
notwithstanding
her
excellent
endowments
:
yet
as
she
had
good
cause
,
she
excepted
against
those
partiall
Judges
designed
for
her
destruction
,
by
all
the
pretentions
that
a
free
Prin
cesse
,
or
an
opprest
woman
could
alledge
,
though
the
Queen
seemed
as
deafe
to
her
just
and
reasonable
request
,
as
her
enemies
were
violently
bent
to
satisfie
their
cruelties
;
untill
in
the
end
she
was
forced
to
desist
from
her
importunities
,
and
stick
wholy
to
the
confidence
her
goodnesse
had
merited
in
God
mercies
.
This
not
onely
brought
her
to
a
judgement-seat
,
prepared
with
some
outward
circumstances
fit
to
entertaine
her
dignity
,
but
to
a
condemnation
prepared
with
ceremony
,
to
bewitch
the
understanding
of
the
common
people
,
who
rather
desired
to
behold
strange
spectacles
,
then
to
be
delighted
in
just
actions
;
and
in
this
May-game
,
as
I
may
call
it
,
of
the
worst
cruelty
,
when
the
form
of
Law
was
onely
made
use
of
to
hide
bad
intentions
,
was
this
brave
and
religious
Queen
,
as
a
period
to
all
her
fortunes
,
sentenced
to
lose
her
head
.
Notwithstanding
this
condemnation
,
the
Queen
of
Lydia
for
some
time
deferred
the
execution
,
conceiving
her
own
honour
could
not
but
suffer
abroad
,
in
the
opinion
of
all
other
Princes
,
her
equals
,
as
her
kinswoman
in
person
did
at
home
,
under
her
jurisdiction
.
But
ambition
,
jealousie
,
and
revenge
,
at
last
got
the
victory
over
all
her
other
vertues
,
by
the
malicious
and
crafty
perswasions
of
Minerva's
enemies
;
who
believed
,
they
could
not
be
safe
as
long
as
she
lived
;
since
it
was
probable
,
if
ever
she
came
to
weare
the
Crown
of
Lydia
,
she
would
alwaies
be
mindfull
of
their
disaffections
;
these
reasons
procured
the
Queen
underhand
,
to
signe
a
warrant
for
Minerva's
death
,
which
by
the
Lawes
of
the
Countrey
could
not
else
be
taken
away
by
any
power
;
and
with
this
authority
a
messenger
presently
was
sent
to
the
chief
officer
of
the
Province
,
to
give
Minerva
warning
of
her
approaching
doom
.
When
the
sad
Princesse
beheld
this
bloudy
character
written
with
the
royall
hand
of
her
neerest
kinswoman
,
it
was
a
question
whether
amazement
or
courage
governed
most
in
her
noble
thoughts
;
for
as
of
one
side
she
could
scarce
believe
,
that
the
Queen
had
been
drawne
to
an
act
so
prejudiciall
to
the
honour
of
her
Sex
,
so
of
the
other
side
,
she
entertained
the
newes
with
a
gentle
smile
,
as
a
wished
period
of
all
her
miseries
,
onely
with
three
or
foure
deep
sighes
,
she
desired
these
requests
of
those
commissioners
that
had
authority
to
see
the
sentence
put
in
execation
:
First
,
that
she
might
have
all
her
servants
about
her
at
the
time
of
her
death
,
to
beare
true
testimony
to
the
world
,
that
she
neither
staggered
in
her
religion
,
nor
derogated
from
her
sonnes
honour
:
next
that
the
Queen
would
be
so
charitable
,
as
not
onely
quietly
to
suffer
those
that
attended
about
her
person
in
safety
to
quit
the
Kingdome
,
but
to
pay
them
their
due
wages
,
if
not
reward
them
according
to
the
just
service
she
had
received
:
and
lastly
,
that
she
might
have
a
Priest
of
her
own
profession
,
to
comfort
and
instruct
her
in
her
last
suffering
.
To
the
first
,
they
onely
answered
,
that
as
they
could
not
give
her
leave
to
have
all
her
attendants
about
her
for
feare
of
tumults
,
by
reason
of
their
multitudes
,
so
were
they
willing
to
allow
her
some
few
to
satisfie
her
desire
.
For
the
second
,
they
promised
to
be
intercessors
to
the
Queen
in
her
behalfe
.
But
for
the
last
,
they
absolutely
refused
her
request
,
pretending
it
would
be
a
dishonour
to
the
religion
professed
in
Lydia
.
With
these
answers
Minerva
retired
into
her
chamber
,
the
better
to
prepare
her
religious
thoughts
against
the
next
daies
combate
,
where
she
remained
all
that
night
with
so
constant
a
zeale
to
the
worship
of
the
gods
,
and
so
cheerfull
a
demeanor
in
the
perswading
of
her
servants
to
patience
,
by
contemning
of
all
worldly
prosperity
,
that
it
was
easily
to
be
perceived
,
she
rather
entertained
death
as
a
kind
friend
,
that
intended
to
put
her
in
possession
of
a
better
life
,
then
as
a
fierce
enemy
that
set
before
her
imagination
frights
of
a
horrid
destruction
;
Thus
she
continued
her
imployment
,
untill
the
early
morning
,
and
watchfull
cruelty
brought
to
her
chamber
doore
the
instruments
of
her
destruction
:
This
warning
was
sufficient
to
make
her
prepare
with
Majesty
,
to
act
the
last
scene
that
should
render
her
famous
to
posterity
.
Wherefore
with
a
pleasant
look
,
as
if
she
intended
to
laugh
at
deathes
worst
shape
,
when
she
came
out
she
bid
the
company
good
morrow
,
and
then
proceeded
to
the
Scaffold
with
all
the
circumstances
belonging
to
her
dignity
,
that
was
covered
over
with
blacke
Velvet
;
where
being
set
in
her
dismall
Chaire
of
State
,
she
told
the
spectators
,
that
as
they
must
not
expect
many
words
from
her
,
in
regard
her
sister
the
Queen
of
Lydia
was
not
present
,
to
whom
she
would
only
have
directed
a
discourse
;
so
of
the
other
side
,
she
wisht
them
all
to
beare
witnesse
,
that
she
constantly
expired
in
that
religion
she
ever
profest
to
the
world
,
for
which
she
both
did
,
and
was
joyfull
to
shed
her
best
bloud
,
which
being
said
,
by
one
and
one
she
took
leave
of
her
servants
,
who
being
over
prest
with
griefe
and
teares
were
scarce
able
to
performe
their
last
though
constrained
duties
to
fit
their
glorious
Mistresse
for
her
execution
;
And
with
another
sweet
smile
holding
up
her
white
hands
to
the
omnipotent
gods
for
mercy
,
not
long
after
without
the
least
unquiet
motion
,
she
received
that
fatall
stroake
that
sent
her
soule
to
an
eternall
habitation
.
When
this
unexampled
Tragedy
became
spread
over
Asia
,
which
gave
sufficient
occasion
of
large
discourses
,
it
could
not
but
with
speedier
wings
flye
to
her
Sons
Court
,
with
all
the
particular
circumstances
of
her
death
,
where
it
rested
untill
an
Ambassador
from
the
Queen
of
Lydia
was
sent
in
some
sort
to
lessen
the
fact
,
as
being
absolutely
done
without
her
privity
,
as
he
pretended
,
to
which
purpose
some
of
her
principall
Councellors
had
been
punished
:
but
this
Balsame
a
long
time
had
not
power
to
heale
the
deep
wound
this
apprehended
cruelty
had
made
in
his
dutifull
bosome
,
untill
his
people
finding
that
Myssia
was
not
able
to
contend
with
Lydia
in
any
revenge
,
and
that
the
smallest
attempt
offered
by
way
of
force
to
vindicate
his
honour
,
might
interrupt
his
quiet
and
peaceable
succession
to
a
Crowne
so
rich
and
flourishing
,
which
ere
long
he
could
not
by
course
of
nature
but
expect
,
since
the
Queene
was
both
old
and
decayed
,
not
only
disswaded
him
from
any
hostile
evasion
,
but
also
counselled
him
to
entertaine
a
firme
correspondency
with
the
State
,
he
was
to
possesse
;
and
the
rather
,
for
that
the
Lydian
messenger
threatned
him
with
a
legall
deprivation
from
his
royall
right
,
by
the
consent
of
the
whole
Kingdome
,
by
whose
judgment
as
he
said
,
his
mother
had
been
condemned
,
if
any
way
he
stirred
violently
to
disturbe
the
peace
establisht
in
both
Countries
.
These
reasons
I
say
render'd
him
as
well
satisfied
in
shew
as
in
effect
,
who
was
esteemed
extreamly
peaceable
if
not
slothfull
in
his
nature
;
which
was
the
occasion
,
that
as
he
could
never
be
brought
willingly
to
enter
upon
any
actions
of
glory
,
so
did
it
make
him
for
the
most
part
as
it
were
a
captive
,
to
the
pressing
importunities
of
his
covetous
,
and
insolent
Country
men
the
Myssians
,
who
scarce
would
be
satisfied
with
any
gaine
or
preferment
whatsoever
he
could
bestow
upon
them
:
But
to
be
short
,
at
last
the
old
Queen
of
Lydia
dying
he
without
any
contradiction
,
quickly
took
possession
of
her
Kingdoms
,
in
which
government
he
continued
with
all
the
prosperity
in
the
world
during
his
life
;
but
that
finished
,
the
Crownes
of
Lydia
,
Myssia
,
and
Creet
,
descended
by
a
just
right
upon
his
hopefull
Son
and
Successor
Euarchus
,
then
newly
married
to
Hyacinthia
,
Orsames
sister
,
our
now
Queen
,
who
enjoyed
also
those
possessions
(
〈◊〉
must
needs
say
)
with
as
much
happinesse
(
untill
these
last
stirres
)
as
it
was
possible
for
mortality
to
expect
.
But
the
Myssians
who
as
I
said
before
received
golden
liberalities
in
the
time
of
the
old
King
,
(
he
being
a
Prince
that
knew
no
way
how
to
be
provident
)
when
they
found
that
Euarchus
numerous
issue
,
and
the
Queenes
necessary
expences
did
in
a
manner
drowne
all
their
expectation
;
first
,
began
to
mutter
in
words
against
the
accustomed
vanities
of
the
times
;
and
lastly
they
found
fault
that
only
smooth
faced
boys
enjoyed
,
as
they
said
,
all
the
credit
of
the
Court
,
when
Souldiers
and
men
of
valour
wanted
both
countenance
and
meanes
to
live
,
the
King
being
so
bewitched
to
his
own
ease
,
and
his
wives
content
,
that
he
could
not
be
drawne
to
helpe
his
own
brother
in
law
,
against
the
oppression
of
the
King
of
Armenia
;
by
which
warre
many
might
be
imployed
that
now
wanted
subsistance
:
nor
was
there
wanting
in
Lydia
it selfe
many
factious
spirits
,
that
not
only
received
encomagement
by
this
bold
language
,
who
also
coveted
state
preferment
in
the
government
of
the
Common
weale
;
yet
these
begun
discontents
lay
hid
in
the
cinders
of
some
duty
,
untill
new
taxations
of
the
Subjects
gave
more
desperate
distastes
;
besides
,
the
accidentall
arrivall
of
Prince
Cassianus
in
Lydia
after
his
Fathers
death
,
stirred
up
the
pride
of
one
Dimogoras
to
a
new
spleen
against
the
King
,
by
which
means
he
believed
he
should
be
the
sooner
imployed
.
But
that
which
seemed
most
to
contribute
to
Euarchus
prejudice
,
was
the
sudden
arrivall
of
an
old
Myssion
Captaine
out
of
the
warres
of
Armenia
called
Lycius
,
who
having
gained
in
those
services
good
store
of
wealth
,
sued
to
the
King
to
have
himselfe
rewarded
by
Titles
of
honour
;
which
being
denyed
him
by
some
neglect
,
as
also
Cassianus
request
for
a
competent
assistance
,
a
little
protracted
,
this
insolent
Commander
quickly
flew
from
the
Court
with
execrations
in
his
mouth
,
and
malice
in
his
heart
;
and
comming
into
his
own
Countrey
omitted
no
diligence
that
could
withdraw
the
people
from
their
lawfull
obedience
,
which
he
had
the
better
opportunity
to
effect
,
since
he
found
not
only
the
nobility
ambitious
,
but
the
Priests
violent
.
The
one
he
perswaded
with
brave
spirits
againe
to
looke
upon
the
courage
of
their
Ancestors
,
who
had
by
force
of
Armes
torne
priviledges
from
their
King
;
the
other
he
admonished
to
cast
their
thoughts
upon
the
recovery
of
that
religion
now
almost
lost
,
that
had
formerly
chaced
their
former
Queen
both
from
her
Kingdome
and
life
;
and
for
the
common
people
it
was
sufficient
ro
plead
to
their
imaginations
liberty
;
by
whose
perswasion
the
nobility
not
only
raised
a
power
absolutely
to
contemne
the
Kings
authority
,
in
their
own
Country
of
Myssia
,
but
also
led
a
great
Army
into
Lydia
,
whereby
to
compell
Euarchus
to
summon
the
great
Councell
of
the
Kingdome
.
To
be
short
,
when
this
eminent
assembly
was
met
,
as
it
was
designed
in
the
City
of
Sardis
,
which
was
also
assured
to
be
made
a
free
Towne
(
as
much
as
to
say
,
as
not
to
be
compelled
to
any
obedience
to
Euarchus
and
his
posterity
)
the
chiefest
discourses
that
were
made
there
,
were
in
disgrace
of
the
Kings
actions
,
and
almost
all
the
Acts
that
past
were
to
destroy
his
authority
:
All
which
the
milde
King
suffered
with
a
world
of
patience
,
hoping
that
time
,
after
they
had
wearied
themselves
with
their
violent
passions
,
would
let
them
see
their
own
mistakes
,
or
the
gods
at
leastwise
would
defend
his
innocency
:
however
these
unexpected
proceedings
not
only
continued
,
but
their
rage
grew
to
such
a
height
against
his
person
whereby
as
't
was
thought
to
bring
him
into
the
greater
contempt
amongst
the
common
people
,
that
by
divers
tumults
countenanced
in
the
multitude
,
he
was
at
last
forced
from
the
City
of
Sardis
,
whilst
the
Senate
in
the
interim
iustituted
a
strong
guard
of
Souldiers
of
the
Towne
Forces
,
to
wait
upon
their
Councels
,
because
they
would
shew
to
the
Subjects
,
greater
markes
of
Soveraignty
in
their
Assembly
,
then
in
the
Kings
dignity
.
But
whilst
many
were
brewing
their
own
passionate
designes
with
uncredible
insolency
,
being
chiefly
supported
by
the
votes
of
the
common
people
,
who
were
perswaded
they
should
recover
by
their
authority
an
absolute
liberty
,
the
poore
King
with
a
very
small
traine
retired
to
the
City
of
Theatyra
:
where
however
,
contrary
to
the
expectation
of
the
Senate
,
who
believed
that
their
discountenance
,
was
sufficient
to
render
him
abandoned
by
the
whole
Kingdome
,
he
not
onely
received
better
welcome
,
but
was
entertained
with
the
generall
commiseration
of
most
of
those
parts
,
who
bitterly
complained
of
his
hard
and
as
they
thought
unjust
usage
;
and
the
rather
did
this
pitty
prevaile
for
that
by
his
eloquent
and
fluent
Pen
,
he
seemed
fully
to
beat
back
all
the
aspersions
his
enemies
sought
daily
to
cast
upon
him
,
which
brought
as
I
say
to
his
Court
multitudes
of
gentry
and
nobility
,
both
from
the
City
of
Sardis
and
other
parts
,
who
vowed
perpetuall
faithfulnesse
to
his
person
,
with
other
essentiall
services
.
These
encouragements
by
the
perswasion
of
his
trusty
Councellors
,
made
him
imploy
his
best
industry
to
raise
Souldiers
,
whilst
in
the
interim
he
sent
to
the
Queen
,
whom
he
understood
was
in
the
Island
of
Cyprus
,
to
procure
him
Armes
,
by
the
credit
she
had
purchased
with
the
Duke
of
that
Country
,
since
the
Senate
had
already
seized
upon
all
his
Magazin
and
ships
:
After
which
he
went
from
one
Province
to
another
,
to
feele
the
inclination
of
the
people
;
yet
as
he
found
most
of
them
for
him
in
their
words
when
he
was
amongst
them
;
whether
out
of
the
inconstancy
of
their
own
natures
,
or
unwilling
to
be
at
any
charge
to
maintaine
new
troubles
;
as
soone
as
he
left
them
personally
,
they
were
for
the
greatest
number
carried
from
their
former
professions
,
so
that
he
perceived
the
successe
of
his
whole
fortunes
,
was
chiefly
to
depend
upon
the
gallantry
of
the
better
sort
.
And
truly
this
expectation
did
not
deceive
him
;
for
in
a
short
space
,
beyond
all
beliefe
they
so
furnished
him
with
moneys
,
besides
their
own
attendance
;
that
he
became
master
of
a
brave
Army
commanded
by
his
nephew
Prince
Thyasmus
,
who
was
newly
arrived
in
his
Campe
from
the
Armenian
warres
.
The
Senate
,
who
before
had
raised
Forces
to
contend
against
the
Kings
intentions
,
according
to
the
intelligence
they
had
received
not
to
be
sloathfull
in
their
affaires
,
quickly
created
Dimogoras
generall
in
the
designe
,
whom
they
knew
was
a
man
never
to
be
reconciled
to
his
Soveraigne
,
by
reason
of
the
spightfulnesse
of
his
own
violent
ambition
;
no
sooner
was
he
establisht
in
his
office
,
but
he
was
commanded
to
march
,
as
they
pretended
to
separate
the
King
from
pernitious
Councels
,
and
bring
him
safe
to
Sardis
,
there
to
be
better
governed
;
to
which
purpose
that
City
had
plentifully
furnished
money
,
conceiving
their
prosperity
depended
upon
their
Princes
ruine
.
This
resolution
was
quickly
knowne
to
Euarchus
,
and
not
long
after
considered
by
his
Councell
that
it
was
high
time
to
advance
with
the
whole
Army
,
to
try
the
fortune
of
a
battell
with
the
Senates
Generall
,
since
the
King
wanted
provision
,
and
could
not
expect
supplies
of
money
to
furnish
out
the
necessary
expence
:
with
this
determination
after
two
or
three
dayes
march
,
they
met
the
Senates
forces
upon
an
ample
Plaine
,
spacious
enough
to
have
desided
the
controversie
for
the
worlds
Empire
:
the
conflict
of
a
sudden
grew
so
desperate
,
that
it
was
a
question
whether
they
sought
more
to
satisfie
their
own
spleenes
,
or
to
gaine
a
beneficiall
Victory
;
which
however
was
prosecuted
for
some
houres
with
doubtfull
fortune
;
for
although
the
Kings
horse
commanded
by
Thyasnius
in
person
,
at
the
first
charge
defeated
their
enemies
,
in
so
much
as
for
many
Furlongs
,
they
had
the
chace
of
their
Troops
,
yet
the
Foot
Forces
in
their
absence
,
that
for
the
most
part
wanted
armes
,
had
sufficient
imployment
to
sustaine
the
fury
of
the
Senates
Souldiers
,
being
better
provided
:
which
however
was
bravely
supplyed
by
the
noble
valour
of
the
King
himselfe
,
in
so
much
as
he
sustained
the
violence
of
the
tempest
,
untill
his
own
horse
again
came
into
his
rescue
,
though
with
such
a
slaughter
of
his
poor
Subjects
,
that
it
created
a
passionate
compassion
in
his
royall
breast
,
although
the
determinable
fate
of
his
Crowne
might
very
well
have
given
a
full
imployment
to
his
thoughts
:
Upon
Thyasmus
appearing
with
his
victorious
Troopes
,
Dimogoras
retired
with
his
worsted
Forces
,
and
the
night
hindred
further
prosecution
for
the
present
,
which
as
I
may
say
,
enviously
shaddowed
the
Kings
glory
,
who
else
could
not
have
been
defrauded
as
't
was
thought
of
a
most
absolute
Conquest
to
his
immortall
honour
,
if
not
to
his
Kingdoms
prosperity
.
However
he
resolved
the
next
morning
early
,
againe
to
set
upon
his
enemies
,
who
were
retired
for
their
better
safety
,
within
the
protection
of
their
secure
Trenches
;
but
contrary
to
his
expectation
Dimogoras
(
belike
fearing
Euarchus
intention
,
and
unwilling
to
hazzard
the
Senates
fortunes
in
one
doubtfull
adventure
)
had
made
use
of
the
darke
coverture
of
the
night
,
to
convey
himselfe
and
his
whole
Forces
,
to
a
strong
Towne
not
farre
off
,
remaining
under
his
jurisdiction
:
Neverthelesse
,
so
much
opinion
this
halfe
Conquest
got
amongst
the
common
people
,
that
many
Cities
presently
returned
under
the
obedieuce
of
their
lawfull
Prince
,
whilst
in
the
meane
time
,
the
King
made
Philadelphia
the
chiefe
residence
of
his
Royall
Court
,
where
againe
he
began
to
rule
like
a
Monarch
,
and
suffered
his
other
Generals
in
many
parts
of
the
Kingdome
,
to
prosecute
his
commands
with
such
prosperous
successe
,
that
in
a
short
space
he
became
in
a
manner
master
of
all
Lydia
,
though
the
great
Towne
of
Sardis
seemed
still
with
most
obstinate
pride
to
contemne
his
power
,
being
more
in
love
with
that
passion
,
that
made
them
hope
to
be
a
free
City
,
and
the
covetousnesse
to
obtaine
that
money
they
had
disbursed
,
then
mindfull
of
their
own
safety
and
obedience
.
The
King
who
began
to
thinke
now
the
difficulty
of
his
affaires
were
past
all
danger
,
began
a
little
to
play
with
the
weaknesse
of
his
enemies
,
in
so
much
as
his
Souldiers
became
neglected
in
their
discipline
,
as
the
commanders
licentious
in
their
course
of
life
,
which
certainly
contributed
extreamely
to
all
his
misfortunes
:
for
being
provoked
either
by
unwise
,
if
not
Traiterous
Councell
,
or
put
on
by
his
own
just
spleen
,
to
see
himselfe
in
the
height
of
all
his
Victories
disobeyed
by
weake
Forces
,
suddenly
besieged
a
small
City
that
lay
in
the
very
heart
of
his
new
Conquests
,
conceiving
his
enemies
wanted
power
of
refistance
,
or
at
least
ability
to
bring
him
any
incommodation
,
which
made
his
Troopes
lesse
carefull
to
prevent
correspondency
;
But
the
Towne
finding
it
could
not
hold
out
long
against
so
strong
a
siege
,
gave
private
intelligence
to
the
Citizens
of
Sardis
,
who
apprehending
the
losse
would
absolutely
turne
to
their
ruine
,
since
the
King
would
be
sure
,
as
they
believed
,
after
to
imploy
the
rest
of
his
endeavour
in
their
subversion
,
when
he
should
have
finished
the
designe
in
hand
that
only
opposed
him
,
of
a
sudden
sent
out
under
the
command
of
Dimogoras
the
Souldiers
of
Sardis
it selfe
,
that
untill
then
were
never
known
to
remove
many
Furlonges
from
the
smoake
of
their
own
chimneyes
,
to
try
if
it
were
possible
to
raise
the
Kings
siege
;
and
with
as
quick
an
expedition
as
they
were
able
,
marched
towards
the
Campe
,
imagining
that
the
successe
of
this
voyage
was
to
determine
their
fates
,
whether
to
remaine
free
Citizens
,
or
become
conquered
slaves
.
Euarchus
when
he
heard
of
this
new
and
unexpected
supply
,
so
much
contrary
to
his
imagination
,
however
rumours
thereof
had
formerly
come
to
his
eares
,
thought
it
his
best
course
,
rather
to
fight
with
them
in
the
open
Fields
,
then
in
continuing
in
his
Trenches
,
to
hazard
the
danger
of
being
starved
for
want
of
provision
:
with
these
purposes
,
after
he
had
quitted
the
Walls
of
the
Towne
,
he
advanced
towards
their
quarters
,
with
a
hope
to
set
upon
them
in
the
plain
Champaine
,
since
he
conceived
he
had
much
the
advantage
of
horse
,
though
his
foot
was
of
a
farre
lesse
number
.
But
though
the
King
omitted
no
industry
to
compasse
his
designe
,
yet
being
betrayed
by
the
common
people
in
his
intelligence
,
who
ever
favoured
the
Senate
more
then
their
Soveraigne
,
Dimogoras
got
some
dayes
journey
towards
the
City
of
Sardis
,
before
Euarchus
knew
of
his
remove
;
the
designe
of
the
Generall
being
no
other
,
now
he
had
freed
the
City
from
danger
,
but
to
get
againe
safe
with
his
whole
Army
to
the
place
from
whence
he
came
:
The
King
as
he
was
enraged
with
this
secret
escape
,
so
was
he
resolved
if
it
were
possible
to
fight
with
him
upon
any
termes
,
since
the
contrary
as
he
imagined
,
would
prove
in
the
opinion
of
the
multitude
of
no
lesse
a
consequence
,
then
a
Victory
obtained
by
his
adversaries
:
To
that
effect
,
as
soone
as
he
had
overtaken
his
enemies
by
tedious
marches
,
he
set
upon
them
with
desperate
inconveniences
,
not
only
for
that
they
had
locked
themselves
in
inclosed
Countries
,
but
never
came
out
of
their
Trenches
to
skirmish
,
by
which
meanes
the
Kings
Cavalry
proved
of
no
service
;
so
that
as
I
may
say
by
reason
of
these
unfortunate
disadvantages
,
Euarchus
after
twelve
houres
fight
could
pretend
but
to
a
very
small
Victory
;
which
successe
returned
Dimogoras
to
the
City
of
Sardis
with
some
honour
,
in
regard
that
however
he
had
not
beat
the
Kings
Forces
,
it
might
be
said
upon
the
matter
he
had
worsted
his
designes
.
Neverthelesse
,
although
this
gave
the
Generalls
party
not
only
encouragement
for
the
present
,
but
hopes
in
abundance
in
the
future
;
especially
for
that
the
Kings
Souldiers
every
where
;
began
both
to
be
negligent
and
treacherous
;
more
seeming
to
rely
upon
the
supposed
justnesse
of
the
cause
,
then
resolving
constantly
to
defend
it
by
any
hazzard
,
yet
the
Senate
at
Sardis
doubting
something
their
own
fortune
or
successe
,
notwithstanding
what
policy
soever
they
could
use
in
the
Kings
Campe
,
resolved
againe
to
bring
in
the
Myssians
into
Lydia
with
a
powerfull
Army
:
To
this
purpose
they
made
a
contract
with
them
,
not
only
to
pay
them
a
very
great
sum
of
money
,
both
to
defray
their
charges
and
reward
their
endeavours
,
but
also
promised
to
establish
in
the
Kingdome
of
Lydia
it selfe
,
the
same
manner
of
worship
of
the
gods
as
was
practised
in
Myssia
:
As
this
seemed
in
effect
to
be
the
whole
agreement
between
them
;
so
the
Myssians
wanted
not
in
their
meaning
,
underhand
designes
,
which
was
to
beare
at
leastwise
an
equall
share
in
the
government
of
both
Kingdomes
,
whereby
the
better
to
satisfie
their
pride
and
avarice
;
for
the
latter
which
as
't
was
said
they
would
have
sold
the
gods
themselves
,
if
they
had
been
upon
the
earth
vendible
.
By
this
meanes
againe
Euarchus
became
involved
in
new
troubles
;
for
presently
after
the
Myssians
having
made
this
unhandsome
accord
to
the
Kings
disadvantage
,
notwithstanding
their
so
many
vowes
and
promises
to
the
contrary
,
there
was
imployed
at
the
same
time
an
Ambassadour
from
the
Kingdome
of
Syria
to
Euarchus
,
not
only
to
perswade
him
to
entertaine
a
new
Treaty
and
friendship
with
his
Senate
sitting
at
Sardis
,
but
also
absolutely
to
break
all
correspondency
and
friendship
between
himselfe
and
the
State
of
Egypt
;
which
being
condescended
unto
by
the
King
he
undertooke
,
as
well
to
keep
back
the
Myssians
from
entring
Lydia
,
as
to
settle
an
absolute
peace
in
all
the
rest
of
his
dominions
:
whether
these
were
only
brags
or
no
is
altogether
uncertaine
;
rather
may
it
be
thought
,
either
the
Kings
Fate
or
unhappy
Councell
,
thrust
him
on
upon
those
wayes
,
that
were
most
prejudiciall
to
his
affaires
:
in
conclusion
he
did
not
only
deny
the
Ambassador
the
least
entertainment
of
these
propositions
,
but
at
the
same
time
also
was
perswaded
to
publish
a
declaration
against
the
City
of
Sardos
;
though
at
present
it
seemed
to
contend
with
the
Senate
,
about
the
payment
of
that
money
promised
to
the
Myssians
,
in
recompence
for
their
expedition
into
Lydia
.
This
I
must
needs
say
,
so
much
exasperated
the
Towne
,
that
presently
they
went
on
with
their
accord
by
the
generall
consent
of
all
:
when
these
summes
were
received
,
presently
the
Myssians
marched
into
the
Country
with
a
huge
Army
,
whilst
another
was
sent
with
Dimogoras
against
the
Kings
own
person
:
As
by
this
meanes
Euarchus
was
constrained
to
divide
his
Forces
,
so
he
sent
the
greatest
part
of
his
Army
along
under
the
command
of
Thyasmus
his
Nephew
,
for
the
necessary
raising
of
the
siege
before
the
City
of
Theatyra
,
where
the
Myssians
were
already
incamped
,
however
their
power
was
encreased
with
such
Troopes
,
as
the
Senate
had
commanded
to
joyne
with
them
in
that
service
:
Prince
Thyasmus
upon
his
approach
(
whether
being
as
I
may
say
too
precipitate
in
his
conduct
,
or
that
he
was
betrayed
absolutely
in
his
intelligence
)
when
he
came
neere
the
Towne
,
thinking
either
to
surprize
or
defeat
the
enemy
in
an
instant
,
of
the
contrary
suddenly
he
became
involved
in
a
most
desperate
Ambuscado
,
which
in
a
manner
destroyed
the
persons
or
the
courages
of
his
whole
Army
,
though
in
truth
the
Myssians
performed
the
least
part
of
the
service
:
But
the
King
being
followed
and
furiously
attempted
in
his
march
as
I
said
by
Dimogoras
,
he
kept
himself
and
Troopes
(
though
fewer
by
many
in
number
)
upon
such
sure
and
couragious
grounds
,
that
the
Generall
at
last
was
brought
into
so
many
desperate
inconveniences
,
by
reason
of
his
want
of
conduct
and
providence
,
that
although
Euarchus
at
that
time
fought
not
one
stroake
,
he
was
forced
to
compound
for
the
lives
and
liberties
of
all
his
Souldiers
,
which
was
an
occasion
that
presently
turned
out
Dimogoras
out
of
his
office
,
whilst
in
the
interim
there
was
put
into
his
place
one
Farezius
,
whose
melancholly
valour
in
a
very
short
time
prevailed
exceedingly
,
for
that
the
Myssians
had
caused
the
King
to
divide
his
Forces
into
so
many
severall
commands
,
that
he
could
not
conveniently
maintaine
a
considerable
body
together
under
any
Captaine
,
to
be
able
to
contend
with
power
sufficient
:
wherefore
after
some
Councell
taken
with
his
best
friends
,
the
King
resolved
himselfe
in
person
,
to
endeavour
to
stop
the
fury
of
this
new
and
prevailing
Generall
,
that
seemed
like
an
outragious
Torrent
,
to
carry
all
before
him
,
whether
he
marched
against
Townes
or
Armies
.
The
King
besides
the
inflammation
of
his
own
naturall
courage
,
was
put
on
to
fight
with
Farezius
,
as
't
was
thought
upon
these
reasons
:
first
to
prevent
a
conjunction
between
him
and
the
Myssians
,
who
were
as
yet
at
some
distance
:
next
to
continue
a
life
in
his
own
party
,
that
seemed
something
to
decline
his
assistance
in
many
places
of
the
Kingdome
,
in
regard
of
the
others
extraordinary
successe
:
And
last
of
all
,
for
that
both
money
and
other
provisions
failing
,
he
began
to
contract
many
necessities
in
his
army
:
It
was
not
long
before
they
both
met
upon
a
large
Plaine
in
an
open
Countrey
,
that
afforded
roome
enough
for
an
equall
contention
,
if
the
Fates
had
at
all
proved
indifferent
in
the
encounter
;
The
first
charge
was
given
with
fury
sufficient
by
both
sides
,
however
the
Kings
horse
without
any
known
cause
whatsoever
of
a
sudden
gave
back
,
and
not
long
after
most
shamefully
turned
their
backs
,
though
the
foot
with
incredible
gallantry
,
still
continued
the
fight
with
honour
and
safety
:
Euarchus
upon
this
(
however
not
being
so
much
amazed
as
displeased
)
presently
rid
amongst
the
flying
Troopes
;
as
it
were
calling
both
gods
and
men
to
witnesse
,
concerning
the
justnesse
of
his
cause
,
and
the
unfainednesse
of
his
intentions
;
withall
perswading
them
either
to
shew
more
courage
or
lesse
disloyalty
:
not
onely
in
his
words
,
but
by
his
own
unexampled
courage
,
evidently
expressed
before
their
faces
,
he
conjured
them
to
fight
,
or
at
leastwise
to
stand
their
ground
at
some
distance
,
whilst
he
and
the
rest
exposed
their
lives
to
the
fury
of
the
enemy
;
calling
them
sometimes
his
country
men
and
subjects
;
otherwhile
he
termed
them
no
better
then
unworthy
slaves
,
that
precipitately
followed
their
own
destruction
and
captivity
;
when
as
they
had
a
faire
occasion
offered
them
to
be
both
glorious
and
happy
:
but
at
last
seeing
nothing
would
prevaile
,
he
looked
up
to
heaven
with
tears
in
his
eyes
,
beseeching
that
the
gods
would
take
pitty
on
him
in
his
necessities
,
at
leastwise
prove
propitious
to
the
Monarchy
of
Lydia
,
that
seemed
absolutely
to
depend
upon
this
dayes
adventure
:
Thus
between
praying
,
fighting
,
and
perswading
,
he
continued
,
untill
he
saw
most
of
his
Souldiers
either
taken
or
slaughtered
:
so
that
at
last
,
being
constrained
with
a
very
few
number
in
his
company
to
quit
the
Field
,
he
left
his
Campe
to
the
courtesie
of
the
enemies
mercy
,
whilst
by
obscure
passages
he
got
againe
safe
in
person
(
though
much
in
his
thoughts
dejected
)
to
the
strong
Towne
of
Philadelphia
,
where
not
long
after
by
the
whole
power
of
Farezius
,
he
was
besieged
with
the
rest
of
his
Court
,
friends
,
and
family
.
As
this
,
said
he
,
was
the
proceeding
of
that
fatall
day
,
so
may
I
suppose
by
the
dispersing
of
the
most
part
of
the
company
,
it
will
be
also
time
for
us
to
retire
:
so
taking
Narcissus
by
the
hand
,
he
promised
he
should
have
the
rest
of
his
discourse
at
home
.
His
house
was
seated
at
the
end
of
a
small
town
,
only
divided
by
a
pleasant
grove
of
wood
,
that
encompassed
a
round
Temple
,
built
with
Jonick
Columns
;
within
which
was
the
statue
of
Apollo
:
when
they
had
performed
some
few
devotions
,
according
to
the
manner
of
the
country
,
amongst
other
Priests
of
their
own
order
that
remained
in
the
place
,
the
old
father
led
him
to
his
habitation
;
being
entered
into
the
Parlour
,
he
presently
shewed
him
the
picture
of
Euarchus
,
which
for
some
time
he
had
kept
as
he
said
in
an
obscure
corner
of
his
house
,
though
now
he
seemed
to
expect
more
freedome
;
whereupon
he
began
to
read
a
lecture
concerning
his
life
and
disposition
:
which
gave
him
an
occasion
to
discourse
in
this
manner
:
The
father
of
Euarchus
our
now
King
,
being
a
Prince
wholly
given
as
I
may
say
to
his
own
pleasure
,
only
studied
wayes
to
keep
himselfe
during
his
life
in
a
quiet
security
:
&
to
this
purpose
he
not
only
brought
up
his
sonne
,
after
the
death
of
his
elder
brother
in
learning
and
domestick
exercises
,
under
the
protect
of
his
own
eye
and
jurisdiction
,
but
when
he
came
to
yeares
of
consent
,
he
endeavoured
with
some
violence
,
to
marry
him
to
the
King
of
Aegypts
daughter
,
by
whose
greatnesse
he
thought
to
establish
his
owne
regall
power
the
better
in
Lydia
,
perceiving
his
subjects
were
apt
enough
upon
all
occasions
,
to
kick
against
his
authority
:
But
finding
the
Treaty
was
protracted
,
he
sent
his
son
in
person
with
an
intimate
favourite
of
his
,
into
Africa
to
court
the
young
Lady
:
To
be
short
the
journey
produced
no
effects
at
all
answerable
to
his
desires
:
for
the
two
favourites
of
each
Prince
clashing
together
,
although
a
certaine
day
was
appointed
for
the
marriage
,
yet
the
match
broake
,
though
upon
what
grounds
I
neither
know
,
or
can
well
dispute
:
after
this
breach
Euarchus
made
presently
his
addresse
to
Hyacinthia
our
now
Queen
,
being
sister
to
Orsames
King
of
Syria
,
esteemed
a
most
mortall
enemy
to
the
greatnesse
of
the
Kingdome
and
Monarchy
of
Aegypt
:
no
sooner
was
this
match
concluded
,
but
the
old
King
dyed
,
leaving
young
Euarchus
to
inherit
in
outward
appearance
,
as
much
glory
and
prosperity
,
as
was
possible
to
be
enjoyed
by
mortality
upon
earth
;
and
so
continued
for
many
years
,
untill
these
late
unhappy
difference
obstructed
his
felicity
:
which
truly
I
must
the
rather
bewaile
,
in
regard
that
he
is
a
Prince
given
to
no
manner
of
vice
:
however
perhaps
some
will
say
,
he
is
more
beholding
to
nature
for
his
inclination
,
then
to
resolution
for
his
temperance
,
unto
which
I
must
needs
answer
,
that
as
the
world
ought
not
to
take
any
notice
of
the
inward
thoughts
of
man
,
when
people
receive
a
generall
commodity
by
the
outward
expressions
of
vertues
;
so
of
the
other
side
,
when
good
and
laudable
actions
are
accompanied
with
an
entire
justice
in
appearance
,
it
is
unpossible
but
either
the
gods
have
placed
such
upon
earth
,
to
become
rare
examples
for
imitation
to
others
,
or
else
have
ordained
them
to
be
extreamely
beneficiall
to
themselves
;
so
that
both
wayes
deserve
singular
countenance
and
preservation
:
and
this
without
any
partiality
,
may
be
said
to
be
the
right
character
of
the
disposition
of
Euarchus
:
now
for
his
active
parts
,
that
are
and
have
been
obvious
to
all
the
world
;
no
man
can
accuse
him
of
cruelty
or
pride
:
his
deare
affections
to
his
wife
and
children
,
are
beyond
the
patterne
of
all
his
predecessors
:
his
activity
and
solicitation
almost
not
to
be
imitated
:
his
moderation
in
Dyet
and
Apparell
,
scarce
equals
any
of
his
subjects
:
if
his
parcimony
can
be
imputed
to
him
for
a
fault
,
let
his
numerous
issue
,
and
the
small
extent
of
his
own
revenues
,
make
for
him
at
leastwise
a
probable
,
if
not
a
sufficient
excuse
:
besides
,
and
over
and
above
these
specified
vertues
,
I
must
commend
his
discreet
valour
,
and
entire
patience
,
since
as
in
the
one
he
never
declined
any
engagement
,
when
the
necessity
of
his
fortune
,
did
any
way
stand
in
need
of
the
demonstration
of
his
courage
,
so
did
he
never
yet
appeare
overcome
by
passion
,
when
he
tasted
the
greatest
bitternesse
of
what
affliction
soever
:
with
these
words
the
Priest
,
as
if
he
had
been
transported
with
the
very
apprehension
of
his
suffering
,
seemed
to
end
his
discourse
both
in
tears
and
sighes
;
and
certainly
had
so
continued
for
a
long
space
in
a
certaine
kinde
of
extasie
,
if
an
old
woman
and
a
little
youth
(
the
whole
family
with
himselfe
of
his
private
habitation
)
had
not
interrupted
his
sorrowfull
contemplation
,
by
bringing
into
the
Parlour
Wine
and
other
junkets
to
entertain
Narcissus
,
who
notwithstanding
,
after
he
had
tasted
sufficiently
of
that
civility
,
put
him
in
mind
againe
of
his
promised
relation
in
the
field
,
which
was
to
make
an
end
so
farre
of
his
information
,
concerning
King
Euarchus
fortunes
,
that
he
might
be
instructed
in
the
reasons
of
the
joyfull
assembly
of
the
people
,
dancing
about
the
Altar
and
Statue
of
god
Pan.
The
Priest
,
after
he
had
acknowledged
in
some
sort
his
own
digressions
from
the
matter
intended
,
he
let
him
know
that
as
it
was
no
part
of
his
meaning
to
deprive
him
of
his
due
,
according
to
his
own
obligation
,
so
he
desired
him
to
excuse
his
passion
in
the
Kings
behalfe
,
occasioned
only
by
the
sight
of
the
picture
that
suddenly
brought
into
his
mind
a
certaine
kind
of
representation
of
his
heroicall
vertues
,
proceeding
from
his
nature
and
education
:
whereupon
presently
leading
Narcissus
into
his
Garden
furnished
him
with
many
dainty
flowers
of
all
sorts
,
in
which
curiosity
he
seemed
to
take
an
extraordinary
delight
,
at
last
they
both
seated
themselves
in
one
of
the
Arbours
,
neatly
contrived
to
defend
the
inward
part
of
the
habitation
from
Phoebus
oppression
,
which
afforded
a
sufficient
conveniency
for
discourse
,
and
that
joyned
with
the
opportunity
,
quickly
entered
him
into
his
new
relation
after
this
manner
.
Euarchus
said
he
,
being
as
I
told
you
retired
to
Philadelphia
after
the
Battle
,
as
soon
as
he
came
into
the
Towne
,
he
went
presently
to
his
Garden
without
speaking
one
word
to
any
person
,
although
many
Troopes
followed
him
with
passion
to
know
some
particulars
concerning
his
fortunes
,
the
rather
for
that
they
conceived
themselves
also
to
be
sufficiently
interested
in
his
fate
;
There
he
walked
with
a
quick
pace
according
to
his
custome
,
sometimes
casting
his
arme
abroad
,
and
otherwhiles
againe
beating
his
breast
with
no
small
violence
;
then
would
he
look
up
to
the
heavens
,
as
if
a
little
he
accused
the
gods
determinations
,
to
suffer
him
that
intended
nothing
but
justice
and
goodnesse
,
to
be
so
cruelly
persecuted
by
his
owne
Subjects
,
without
any
known
cause
whatsoever
;
so
that
in
truth
the
whole
company
with
teares
in
their
eyes
,
began
more
to
consider
his
inward
sufferings
,
then
their
own
outward
state
and
condition
:
thus
I
say
he
continued
,
untill
Prince
Thyasmus
,
his
unfortunate
Nephew
(
who
not
long
before
had
retired
thither
with
his
beaten
and
scattered
Troopes
)
came
also
with
a
few
Attendants
into
the
Garden
:
when
he
had
saluted
the
King
with
a
sad
look
(
walking
with
him
in
that
manner
two
or
three
turnes
)
he
at
last
humbly
desired
him
to
let
the
company
understand
a
little
of
his
unfortunate
passages
,
since
they
could
not
be
worse
as
he
said
then
they
imagined
them
to
be
,
and
for
ought
they
knew
they
might
be
better
then
they
supposed
:
the
King
went
presently
and
seated
himselfe
upon
a
Bench
,
whilst
all
the
company
flockt
about
him
,
though
he
only
made
a
discourse
to
them
in
this
nature
:
Gentlemen
,
said
he
,
you
now
behold
Euarchus
tumbled
from
his
Throne
:
it
is
apparant
the
gods
are
displeased
with
our
actions
;
neither
doe
I
well
know
what
will
become
of
this
unfortunate
Kingdome
,
for
however
they
punish
and
demonstrate
their
indignation
oftentimes
by
evill
and
wicked
instruments
,
yet
they
never
shew
their
displeasure
and
indignation
,
but
where
offences
are
apparant
enough
to
deserve
that
chastizement
:
whether
these
faults
(
for
which
for
the
present
we
are
scourged
)
abound
most
in
my
own
Court
,
or
the
poyson
hath
too
much
dilated
it selfe
over
all
my
dominions
I
will
not
say
;
only
sure
we
are
,
that
sinnes
of
all
sorts
are
encreased
in
such
a
measure
,
that
it
is
probable
the
gods
no
longer
could
abstain
from
demonstrating
the
very
height
of
their
fury
and
wrath
;
I
could
be
contented
to
suffer
for
you
all
,
so
that
would
be
sufficient
to
pay
the
score
of
our
obligations
,
we
owe
the
heavens
justice
for
our
crimes
;
but
I
feare
me
we
are
designed
to
be
more
generally
involved
,
whereby
to
satisfie
the
divine
exasperated
indignation
,
who
can
be
no
more
cozened
in
its
knowledge
then
restrained
in
its
power
?
In
my
opinion
the
best
way
is
,
instantly
to
take
asunder
by
way
of
profitable
consideration
all
our
particular
actions
and
thoughts
;
and
so
by
wholsome
,
and
true
repentance
if
it
be
possible
to
give
some
stop
to
the
furious
Torrent
of
our
misfortunes
,
before
they
come
to
such
a
Sea
of
confusion
,
that
necessarily
a
generall
destruction
must
follow
:
when
I
consider
the
pride
,
covetousnesse
,
and
dissimulation
of
my
own
family
,
I
am
partly
convinced
in
my
thoughts
,
that
the
ills
we
have
suffered
,
wholly
proceed
from
that
originall
:
againe
,
when
I
look
upon
the
disobedience
,
luxury
,
and
atheisme
of
the
whole
Kingdome
,
I
may
suppose
from
the
peoples
impieties
have
come
our
misfortunes
:
If
I
have
been
too
blame
for
either
,
I
must
rather
implore
the
gods
pardon
for
my
omissions
,
then
overmuch
accuse
my
own
intentions
that
made
them
so
;
since
however
my
nature
may
be
too
passively
indulgent
in
such
particulars
,
yet
my
disposition
was
not
at
all
,
prone
to
give
them
allowance
and
approbation
:
I
must
confesse
I
cannot
altogether
free
my selfe
from
every
imputation
,
that
hath
been
cast
upon
my
government
;
for
it
is
no
small
fault
to
be
remisse
in
punishments
,
where
crimes
may
be
encouraged
to
example
;
though
much
more
to
be
countenanced
in
oppression
:
And
where
inferiour
officers
are
permitted
though
not
commanded
to
be
unjust
,
the
Prince
ought
to
beare
a
share
in
the
active
part
,
for
that
he
had
the
power
to
have
restrained
the
mischiefe
;
which
perhaps
is
the
occasion
of
my
present
suffering
with
the
rest
of
my
Subjects
,
and
what
more
indignation
the
gods
have
in
store
,
I
cannot
be
certaine
to
prevent
;
only
I
am
confident
,
without
a
deep
examination
of
our
inward
thoughts
,
the
conscience
will
not
be
sufficiently
understood
,
whereby
to
be
cleere
in
any
kinde
to
purpose
,
however
our
principles
may
be
right
and
good
,
for
without
it
,
neither
sorrow
nor
satisfaction
can
follow
of
any
considerable
value
to
blot
out
the
remembrance
of
such
evils
,
and
so
consequently
a
continuation
of
the
punishment
due
to
the
nature
of
our
offences
will
not
be
taken
away
.
It
is
not
enough
to
say
our
enemies
want
justice
and
legality
in
their
prosecution
,
for
that
they
may
be
made
for
the
present
only
devine
revengers
,
though
themselves
be
reserved
for
a
higher
and
more
exemplary
torments
:
for
however
actions
of
prosperity
and
successe
,
be
not
alwayes
markes
of
favour
and
approbation
,
yet
ought
they
justly
be
esteemed
testimonies
of
distast
against
those
Nations
,
and
such
persons
that
unfortunately
are
rendred
Subjects
of
misery
and
chastizement
,
since
none
ever
suffers
without
a
cause
:
when
revolutions
happen
(
if
we
would
but
seriously
enough
looke
after
the
reason
)
in
the
generall
we
should
find
,
matter
sufficient
to
convince
our
beliefe
,
that
we
are
not
totally
innocent
almost
in
any
particular
;
when
as
the
gods
are
oftentimes
accustomed
to
preserve
the
whole
,
for
their
sakes
,
that
may
pretend
justly
to
any
thing
extraordinary
:
No
my
friends
,
this
Kingdome
hath
been
for
some
yeares
past
,
involved
in
too
much
superfluity
,
to
expect
long
a
continuation
of
their
felicity
;
which
no
doubt
made
us
too
unmindfull
from
whence
proceeds
originally
all
good
and
commodity
:
when
peace
and
tranquillity
exceedingly
abound
in
any
region
,
without
being
at
all
bridled
and
restrained
,
by
voluntary
temperance
and
consideration
,
there
is
nothing
to
be
expected
soon
after
but
captivity
or
destruction
,
to
recall
againe
mens
thoughts
and
actions
to
moderation
,
necessary
for
a
new
settlement
and
preservation
:
this
world
was
created
but
as
the
tryer
and
touchstone
of
our
dispositions
for
the
better
establishment
of
our
eternall
condition
hereafter
,
since
otherwise
certainly
it
had
not
been
made
at
all
:
In
this
consists
the
only
mistake
of
mankind
;
that
we
look
at
present
as
essentiall
acquisitious
belonging
properly
to
our
persons
,
without
any
relation
to
the
future
,
when
as
they
are
I
say
intended
either
as
accidentall
benefits
,
or
naturall
consolations
,
necessary
in
some
sort
for
our
temporary
subsistance
:
if
we
be
great
,
mighty
,
and
prosperous
,
we
expect
ease
,
pleasure
,
and
observance
,
as
meere
duties
that
should
attend
us
,
instead
of
making
our
thoughts
thereby
become
more
gratefull
,
humble
,
and
solicitous
in
all
our
endeavours
,
not
only
to
augment
vertue
and
purchase
grace
,
but
to
distribute
our
endeavours
also
by
charity
and
reason
,
to
those
that
are
more
indigent
upon
earth
:
what
a
King
or
commander
hath
in
honour
and
power
,
should
be
imployed
in
care
and
industry
for
the
generall
good
:
and
if
a
begger
or
inferiour
person
wants
in
riches
and
prosperity
,
it
ought
to
be
supplyed
by
being
free
from
hazzard
and
perturbation
:
by
which
meanes
all
sorts
of
people
may
participate
in
a
kinde
of
an
equality
,
according
to
the
intention
of
their
first
creation
;
since
the
gods
certainly
intended
no
absolute
difference
but
what
their
inscrutable
decrees
have
determined
in
the
future
,
answerable
to
the
endeavours
of
every
one
in
particular
:
for
however
the
things
belonging
to
this
life
sometimes
may
vary
by
way
of
accident
in
the
world
,
yet
the
reasonable
and
more
noble
part
of
man
,
should
be
alike
free
in
every
one
of
us
by
the
same
rule
of
estimation
and
pretention
.
This
consideration
makes
me
at
present
looke
upon
my selfe
and
you
in
this
common
misery
,
with
the
same
eyes
of
pity
and
commiseration
:
wherefore
being
determined
to
call
my
own
thoughts
to
a
most
strict
account
,
what
I
have
acted
,
and
how
I
may
suffer
;
so
would
I
have
you
also
examine
your
consciences
,
wherein
you
have
offended
,
and
in
what
nature
you
may
be
remedied
;
by
this
meanes
,
if
it
be
yet
possible
to
procure
some
mercy
from
the
gods
in
our
pressing
necessities
;
These
I
say
are
intentions
not
onely
most
pious
,
but
extreame
safe
:
with
these
words
he
instantly
rose
from
his
seat
,
and
retired
into
his
private
chamber
,
that
not
onely
forced
teares
but
occasioned
discourse
from
most
of
the
company
.
But
whilst
the
King
,
and
the
Inhabitants
of
Philadelpha
with
desparing
thoughts
,
were
busily
imployed
about
the
better
fortifying
of
the
Towne
,
against
the
expected
siege
of
Farezius
,
who
every
day
was
looked
for
which
his
Troops
to
attempt
the
same
(
though
most
part
of
them
intended
,
rather
to
mend
their
conditions
by
yielding
at
last
upon
milder
termes
,
then
entertained
in
their
hopes
any
probability
of
prevailing
against
his
Forces
)
of
a
sudden
the
Myssians
fearing
lest
they
might
be
deceived
in
their
expectations
,
both
in
the
money
they
expected
from
the
Senate
,
as
also
concerning
an
equall
share
in
the
government
of
the
Kingdome
of
Lydia
,
for
that
they
had
procured
,
to
themselves
and
nation
in
the
Battles
,
rather
contempt
for
the
little
valour
they
had
shewed
,
then
any
way
gained
credit
in
the
Warres
,
besiedged
another
Towne
belonging
to
the
Kings
party
,
not
yet
reduced
under
the
Senates
jurisdiction
;
where
however
they
had
continued
for
some
weekes
,
yet
at
length
they
were
beaten
off
both
with
losse
and
disgrace
;
in
so
much
as
then
not
knowing
well
how
to
play
their
Cards
with
any
advantage
,
they
began
as
their
last
refuge
,
not
onely
publikely
to
dispute
the
Kings
Titles
,
whom
as
they
pretended
the
Senate
had
oppressed
beyond
their
intentions
;
but
imployed
the
interest
of
a
certaine
Ambassador
of
Syria
in
their
Army
,
to
perswade
Euarchus
,
if
it
were
possible
to
make
an
escape
from
the
City
of
Philadelpha
,
whereby
to
put
his
person
into
their
hands
,
promising
in
the
interim
his
hopes
,
both
present
safety
and
future
prosperity
,
as
people
being
(
as
they
said
)
his
own
native
country-men
,
who
intended
his
condition
nothing
but
good
and
advantage
by
their
assistance
according
to
his
owne
desire
.
The
King
having
received
this
comfortable
message
,
which
pretended
a
lucky
Omen
as
he
imagined
to
the
rest
of
his
occasions
,
notwithstanding
Farezius
had
newly
besieged
Philadelphia
,
one
day
he
called
me
privately
into
his
Bed-chamber
:
when
he
had
made
fast
the
doore
with
a
certaine
kinde
of
extraordinary
earnestnesse
in
his
countenance
,
according
to
the
manner
he
used
in
any
thing
he
went
about
(
being
in
truth
a
Prince
,
that
is
not
only
sollicitous
in
his
thoughts
but
indefatigable
in
his
paines
and
actions
)
he
told
me
,
that
as
he
had
a
secret
of
much
consequence
to
impart
unto
me
,
so
was
he
affraid
left
it
should
come
to
the
knowledge
of
any
that
were
not
intended
to
be
imployed
in
the
businesse
,
doubting
he
had
so
many
Traytors
attending
about
his
person
,
that
it
was
impossible
almost
,
for
any
designe
to
be
put
in
execution
,
without
the
Senates
privity
and
knowledge
:
wherefore
though
he
were
sufficiently
confident
of
my
fidelity
,
by
reason
of
the
long
experience
he
had
had
of
my
service
,
and
the
tryall
he
had
experimented
of
my
honesty
and
religion
,
yet
for
that
one
or
two
more
were
necessarily
to
be
used
in
the
same
adventure
,
he
resolved
to
exact
from
me
,
not
only
my
faithfull
promise
,
but
a
religious
oath
,
concerning
the
performance
of
my
trust
tending
to
his
commands
:
after
I
had
assured
him
by
verball
protestations
,
that
I
would
be
ready
to
lay
downe
my
life
in
any
thing
his
Majesty
should
think
me
capable
,
either
of
acting
or
suffering
for
his
advantage
,
he
made
me
presently
kneele
downe
before
the
Statue
of
Iupiter
,
which
he
had
alwayes
standing
in
his
chamber
:
and
where
most
commonly
he
made
his
own
morning
prayers
:
there
most
solemnly
I
renewed
those
undertakings
:
after
which
he
discovered
unto
me
his
designes
,
which
was
in
a
disguised
habite
as
my
servant
to
passe
through
Farezius
campe
in
my
company
,
and
so
privately
to
convey
himselfe
into
the
Myssian
Army
,
whither
as
he
told
me
he
had
beene
lately
envited
,
with
assurance
of
their
assistance
towards
his
prosperity
and
protection
:
although
I
must
confesse
I
was
not
much
enamoured
of
the
project
,
knowing
the
base
esteemed
falshood
of
that
people
,
yet
lest
the
King
might
suspect
any
unwillingnesse
in
my
disposition
,
to
hazzard
my
person
in
his
service
,
I
durst
neither
open
my
thoughts
,
or
deliver
my
opinion
,
although
perhaps
I
might
have
shewed
him
some
reasons
,
that
would
have
procured
alteration
;
however
I
knew
of
the
other
side
,
his
straights
and
necessities
were
sufficiently
pressing
in
regard
of
the
siege
,
to
cause
him
almost
,
to
venture
upon
what
desperate
designe
whatsoever
:
in
conclusion
I
undertooke
to
provide
within
three
dayes
space
,
both
horses
and
other
conveniences
to
that
purpose
,
whilst
the
King
in
the
interim
writ
a
Letter
with
some
few
directions
to
his
Nephew
Prince
Thyasmus
,
whom
he
had
lately
made
Governour
of
Philadelpha
,
which
was
to
render
the
Towne
to
the
enemy
after
such
a
time
mentioned
,
with
the
best
conditions
he
could
make
for
himselfe
,
a
consideration
also
being
had
both
of
his
Court
and
friends
:
besides
he
directed
other
writings
to
his
eldest
Son
Arethusius
,
who
remained
then
in
the
farthest
part
of
the
Kingdome
,
attended
by
some
few
Forces
of
his
own
,
to
transport
himselfe
with
all
expedition
to
his
mother
the
Queen
,
to
whose
commands
he
wished
him
to
be
obsequious
in
every
thing
that
concerned
all
their
affaires
;
she
being
in
truth
not
only
a
Lady
he
loves
beyond
measure
:
but
whose
birth
and
interest
may
procure
him
assistance
.
To
be
short
,
within
three
daies
time
I
had
provided
all
things
necessary
for
the
Kings
journey
:
To
this
purpose
he
was
clothed
after
the
manner
of
the
Grecian
slaves
,
who
are
accustomed
to
be
imployed
about
servile
works
in
the
field
;
onely
he
had
over
his
under
apparrell
,
a
blew
mantle
with
short
and
large
sleeves
:
he
wore
upon
his
head
a
high
bonnet
in
colour
red
,
with
three
or
four
feathers
taken
from
a
cocks
taile
:
upon
his
legs
were
fastned
certaine
black
buskins
of
leather
,
with
buckles
;
betimes
in
the
morning
we
issued
out
of
the
Town
both
on
hors-back
,
my
servant
riding
before
a
great
bag
that
was
oyled
all
over
to
prevent
the
prejudice
of
raine
,
since
I
had
put
some
necessary
accommodations
for
our
voyage
therein
;
however
nothing
at
all
that
could
be
any
way
suspicious
,
although
it
might
be
our
fortunes
to
be
taken
by
the
enemy
,
which
in
truth
so
fell
out
accordingly
:
for
passing
through
the
first
watch
,
we
were
not
onely
commanded
to
stand
,
the
souldiers
presently
demanding
of
us
from
whence
wee
came
,
but
also
as
suspicious
persons
we
were
carried
before
an
Officer
of
the
Army
to
be
examined
:
I
did
not
deny
but
that
I
came
out
of
the
Town
of
Philalelpha
;
however
I
told
them
,
that
as
I
was
onely
there
by
accident
,
to
visit
some
friends
and
dispatch
other
necessary
businesses
,
with
certain
schollers
that
lived
in
the
Academy
,
who
medled
with
nothing
but
what
concerned
their
studies
,
so
was
I
againe
repairing
to
the
City
of
Sardis
,
where
for
the
most
part
I
remained
,
being
by
profession
a
Priest
that
observed
the
Myssian
rights
in
my
ordinary
sacrificing
to
the
gods
.
This
smooth
tale
I
had
hoped
would
have
freed
me
presently
;
yet
they
kept
us
all
that
day
and
the
next
night
,
with
a
pretention
the
generall
was
not
at
leasure
,
without
whose
discharge
and
allowance
(
as
they
said
)
we
could
neither
passe
,
or
be
at
liberty
:
t
is
true
,
their
chiefe
intention
was
to
get
money
from
us
;
but
I
must
confesse
I
durst
not
overbountifully
offer
them
any
,
in
regard
it
would
have
given
the
more
occasion
of
jealousie
and
suspition
:
Neverthelesse
,
notwithstanding
they
seemed
to
detaine
me
as
a
prisoner
,
yet
I
got
leave
for
my
servant
,
to
be
in
some
sort
free
in
the
camp
,
whereby
to
have
the
conveniency
(
as
I
pretended
)
to
provide
some
accommodation
necessary
for
the
horses
,
who
in
that
office
performed
his
duty
so
diligently
,
that
I
must
tell
you
he
was
constrained
all
night
to
lie
in
the
open
field
,
without
any
coverture
whatsoever
over
his
body
,
though
in
truth
it
proved
to
be
a
very
tempestuous
season
:
in
this
manner
we
were
perplexed
between
feare
and
suffering
,
however
I
must
confesse
I
little
doubted
the
Kings
discovery
;
not
onely
in
respect
of
his
habit
,
but
that
he
had
also
shaved
his
beard
in
a
most
antick
fashion
.
In
conclusion
the
good
humour
of
the
Generall
the
next
day
,
or
rather
the
Souldiers
finding
there
was
but
little
to
be
got
from
us
,
not
onely
discharged
me
from
my
further
attendance
,
but
gave
a
Passe
for
me
and
my
servant
to
travell
freely
to
the
City
of
Sardis
,
without
any
let
or
hindrance
from
any
of
their
party
;
which
proved
to
be
of
no
small
conveniency
unto
us
in
all
our
journey
:
for
although
the
protection
onely
mentioned
that
Town
,
where
we
least
intended
to
goe
,
yet
as
soon
as
I
was
out
of
the
camp
,
I
so
finely
mended
the
writing
with
my
own
pen
,
that
I
made
it
most
aptly
serve
for
every
place
and
region
;
in
so
much
as
by
reason
thereof
in
our
journey
,
we
were
neither
letted
nor
troubled
to
any
purpose
,
having
a
discharge
presently
amongst
all
manner
of
Officers
of
theirs
,
as
soon
as
we
produced
the
paper
,
when
as
without
doubt
otherwise
we
had
been
infallibly
taken
and
imprisoned
,
since
those
parts
where
we
travelled
,
were
become
extream
suspicious
by
order
from
the
Senate
,
in
regard
of
the
Declarations
of
the
Myssians
,
of
purpose
so
commanded
,
the
better
as
they
thought
to
prevent
all
entercourse
and
correspondency
between
the
Kings
party
and
the
people
of
that
Nation
.
In
this
manner
at
last
we
arrived
in
the
Myssian
camp
,
and
with
a
great
satisfaction
(
I
must
needs
say
)
to
the
Kings
thoughts
,
however
his
resolutions
were
not
presently
to
discover
his
person
;
so
that
retiring
into
a
little
Village
not
very
farre
from
the
Army
,
he
sent
me
(
after
I
had
taken
some
small
refreshment
)
to
enquire
for
the
Syrian
Ambassadour
,
upon
whose
score
he
rather
seemed
to
have
put
his
undertaking
this
dangerous
adventure
,
then
upon
any
absolute
confidence
he
could
have
in
the
Myssians
fidelity
,
in
regard
that
they
had
already
so
often
deceived
him
with
their
faire
promises
and
false
actions
;
it
was
my
part
,
in
complements
to
tell
him
as
much
,
after
I
had
made
him
acquainted
with
the
Kings
arrivall
.
As
the
Ambassadour
appeared
somewhat
amazed
at
the
newes
,
so
did
he
not
stick
to
assure
me
,
that
he
knew
his
Majesty
would
be
received
by
the
Army
with
all
honour
and
safety
,
and
presently
went
along
with
me
to
finde
him
out
.
The
King
after
some
few
civilities
,
used
this
language
to
the
Ambassador
.
Sir
,
said
he
,
as
you
now
see
me
in
a
posture
far
below
my
birth
and
dignity
,
so
the
gods
,
to
let
us
know
we
are
but
men
,
have
for
the
present
suited
my
person
according
to
my
misfortunes
,
whereby
to
comply
the
better
with
my
necessities
;
this
I
hope
is
sufficient
to
shew
what
a
desire
I
have
to
put
my selfe
into
the
hands
of
my
native
Countreymen
:
if
either
the
consideration
of
my
past
benefits
,
bestowed
upon
them
in
the
generall
,
or
any
compassionate
reflection
upon
my
unfortunate
state
,
at
the
instant
are
motives
sufficient
to
work
upon
humanity
,
I
shall
be
safe
here
,
and
may
be
prosperous
hereafter
;
wherefore
,
as
I
would
not
have
them
to
worke
upon
my
miseries
for
poor
and
contemptible
gaine
,
so
shall
not
I
remember
them
any
more
of
their
former
ingratitude
and
disobedience
:
but
rather
let
us
both
unite
in
such
a
constant
conjunction
,
that
as
by
their
means
I
may
come
againe
to
be
King
,
so
will
they
ever
by
such
an
act
of
kindnesse
oblige
me
to
govern
for
their
benefit
:
they
cannot
but
consider
with
what
little
probability
they
can
hope
for
any
establishment
in
Lydia
,
but
by
my
means
,
when
as
already
the
Senate
doth
not
onely
disvalue
their
actions
and
proceedings
by
most
disgracefull
and
contemptible
speeches
,
but
now
that
they
have
brought
(
as
they
believe
)
their
affaires
to
a
prosperous
issue
(
whereby
they
have
no
more
need
of
their
assistance
,
and
so
consequently
would
be
rid
of
the
trouble
)
they
not
onely
dispute
with
them
the
Titles
and
reasons
of
their
own
interest
,
but
even
deny
them
the
payment
of
their
just
due
,
for
all
those
services
they
have
performed
for
their
advantages
in
Lydia
.
As
the
Ambassadour
did
not
make
any
great
reply
to
the
Kings
discourse
,
but
in
a
few
complements
,
concerning
his
own
services
,
so
did
he
presently
conduct
him
to
his
house
for
his
better
accommodation
;
where
he
gave
present
order
to
have
him
furnished
with
apparell
and
other
necessaries
,
whilst
in
the
interim
(
as
it
was
supposed
)
he
acquainted
Lycius
the
Generall
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Officers
of
the
Army
,
with
his
arrivall
in
the
camp
:
After
two
or
three
daies
time
the
Ambassadour
not
onely
exposed
the
King
to
the
view
of
the
people
,
but
delivered
him
into
the
protection
of
the
souldiers
;
where
however
Lycius
and
some
of
the
principall
of
the
Nobility
,
entertained
his
presence
with
an
extraordinary
outward
humility
;
yet
neverthelesse
with
certain
kind
of
sad
and
distrustfull
looks
and
countenances
,
they
performed
their
duties
and
respects
in
kissing
his
hands
,
and
using
other
ceremonies
,
as
if
they
were
not
any
way
privy
,
much
lesse
consenting
to
his
journey
;
the
King
,
notwithstanding
he
seemed
not
to
take
any
notice
of
their
actions
in
publique
,
but
of
the
contrary
gave
testimonies
of
joy
and
gladnesse
,
at
the
apprehension
of
his
happy
fortune
;
yet
in
private
,
by
many
words
and
sighes
,
he
expressed
his
own
doubts
,
and
opinion
concerning
his
future
entertainment
;
the
rather
,
in
regard
they
presently
set
a
strict
gard
upon
his
person
,
though
pretending
it
to
be
done
for
no
other
end
but
for
his
greater
honour
and
safety
:
however
his
hopes
became
something
better
satisfied
,
for
that
they
admitted
freely
to
his
conversations
,
not
onely
many
of
his
houshold
servants
that
were
come
from
Philadelphia
,
after
the
Town
was
surrendered
to
Farezius
,
but
some
of
those
Priests
also
of
his
owne
faction
,
that
were
under
the
jurisdiction
of
the
Flamins
.
In
this
manner
the
King
remained
for
divers
weeks
,
delighting
his
thoughts
with
such
recreations
,
as
had
been
almost
made
customary
to
his
nature
,
by
continuall
practice
from
his
infancy
,
which
made
not
a
few
wonder
,
how
he
could
seem
pleased
with
such
triviall
things
in
the
height
of
his
vexations
and
discontents
.
Again
,
it
was
spightfully
laid
to
his
charge
by
his
adversaries
,
that
he
had
no
great
prejudice
in
being
tumbled
from
his
throne
,
when
as
he
appeared
not
to
have
apprehention
enough
to
be
sufficiently
sensible
,
of
what
consequence
the
losse
of
a
kingdome
was
:
but
probably
either
he
had
so
much
wisdome
,
as
to
reflect
upon
the
uncertainty
of
all
worldly
things
with
a
right
consideration
,
or
was
endued
with
such
a
supream
goodnesse
in
his
disposition
,
as
perswaded
him
to
beare
his
afflictions
with
no
ordinary
temper
and
pacification
.
In
the
interim
the
Myssians
were
not
idle
,
to
play
their
game
to
the
best
advantage
,
both
with
the
Senate
and
the
King
:
for
as
of
one
side
they
made
the
Senate
believe
,
they
had
a
mind
to
dispute
the
Kings
injuries
and
sufferings
,
both
out
of
honour
and
Religion
;
so
did
they
alwaies
tell
the
King
,
that
he
must
give
satisfaction
to
the
demands
of
either
Kingdome
,
before
they
could
become
instrumentall
in
his
establishment
;
which
drew
on
their
consultations
to
the
length
of
many
weeks
expectation
,
the
Senate
urging
the
delivering
of
the
Kings
person
into
their
possession
,
out
of
right
and
justice
,
in
regard
they
had
been
onely
hired
in
the
warres
and
service
of
Lydia
,
by
their
money
;
so
that
consequently
they
were
obliged
with
a
punctuall
decorum
to
observe
their
commands
in
every
thing
:
of
the
other
side
Euarchus
party
affirmed
;
that
he
being
King
of
Myssia
,
as
well
as
Lydia
,
the
Myssians
ought
to
have
as
particular
an
interest
in
his
person
and
preservation
,
as
the
Senate
of
Lydia
,
in
prosecution
of
which
,
they
were
to
see
him
again
restored
to
his
Crown
and
dignity
,
notwithstanding
any
desire
to
the
contrary
:
but
whilst
these
disputations
lasted
,
as
I
may
say
,
with
some
seeming
bitternesse
of
either
side
,
which
as
't
was
thought
,
would
instantly
have
caused
a
cruell
and
bloudy
warre
between
both
Nations
,
one
Argilius
a
Nobleman
of
Myssia
came
suddenly
from
his
own
Countrey
into
the
Campe
,
who
from
the
very
beginning
of
the
stirs
had
been
a
main
opposer
(
by
reason
of
his
own
covetousnesse
and
ambition
)
of
the
Kings
interest
in
that
Nation
:
intending
thereby
more
absolutely
to
govern
all
the
affaires
of
that
kingdome
himselfe
:
when
he
arrived
he
presently
went
to
the
counsell
of
the
Army
,
where
he
made
this
oration
unto
them
.
Gentlemen
said
he
,
I
understand
you
are
now
assembled
about
these
consultations
,
that
may
belong
to
the
Kings
particular
concernments
;
partly
proceeding
from
the
earnest
solicitation
of
the
Syrian
Ambassador
:
and
partly
in
regard
Euarchus
is
now
present
amongst
you
in
the
Camp
:
In
my
opinion
it
is
more
just
and
convenient
,
in
the
first
place
to
look
upon
the
gods
worship
:
in
the
next
to
mind
our
own
preservations
:
to
this
purpose
in
my
judgement
it
ought
to
be
considered
,
why
we
took
up
Armes
at
all
in
the
beginning
to
oppose
our
Prince
,
if
now
without
any
other
condition
whatsoever
we
should
lay
them
downe
,
and
againe
restore
him
to
his
ancient
dignity
without
conditions
?
I
pray
,
remember
we
have
made
a
solemne
protestation
to
the
gods
,
as
of
the
other
side
a
confederation
with
our
friends
:
and
if
we
breake
with
both
,
no
doubt
but
heaven
and
earth
will
accuse
us
as
well
of
perjury
as
indiscretion
;
since
we
should
seem
,
neither
to
reverence
sacred
things
as
we
are
bound
,
nor
preserve
humane
obligations
as
we
ought
:
may
you
not
remember
,
we
took
from
our
King
his
power
for
no
other
reason
,
but
because
we
thought
him
not
fit
to
raigne
over
us
,
accompanied
with
his
stubborne
and
wilfull
crimes
;
and
shall
we
presently
restore
him
to
that
State
againe
without
amendment
?
are
we
not
tyed
by
promises
to
the
Senate
of
Lydia
,
faithfully
to
performe
their
businesses
in
these
Warres
,
whilst
we
are
under
their
pay
and
jurisdiction
?
and
shall
we
detaine
the
very
object
of
their
intentions
against
their
minds
,
as
a
protected
person
by
our
Army
,
who
was
the
onely
booty
they
aymed
at
to
purchase
by
our
endeavours
?
O
horrid
injustice
and
more
pernitious
indiscretion
,
since
in
the
one
undoubtedly
we
exasperate
the
gods
anger
,
as
in
the
other
we
apparantly
endanger
our
own
safeties
;
for
as
they
cannot
but
revenge
,
their
own
dishonour
in
the
highest
fury
of
their
wrath
,
in
regard
of
our
perjury
,
so
justly
may
the
people
of
Lydia
over-run
our
Kingdom
,
for
not
performing
those
conditions
we
contracted
for
,
before
we
entered
their
Countrey
;
which
however
may
be
a
Warre
of
some
long
contention
and
dispute
;
yet
the
effects
must
needs
be
bloudy
and
expencefull
;
whereas
,
if
we
go
hand
in
hand
with
our
friends
,
(
I
meane
the
great
Senate
at
Sardis
)
we
shall
not
only
preserve
such
an
amity
,
as
probably
will
make
both
Nations
happy
,
but
for
the
present
fill
our
coffers
with
sufficient
gold
,
to
render
us
in
Myssia
,
equally
rich
with
other
Countries
of
Asia
.
By
releasing
the
King
I
say
without
their
consents
,
we
give
him
only
power
and
conveniency
,
instead
of
being
gratefull
for
the
benefit
,
to
punish
us
for
having
been
at
the
first
the
chief
occasion
,
that
made
him
at
all
stand
in
need
of
such
a
kindnesse
:
This
disposition
of
his
hath
bin
sufficiently
experimented
in
his
necessities
,
when
as
he
wil
not
so
farre
gratifie
us
as
to
put
the
Flamins
out
of
the
Temples
:
These
reasons
being
considered
I
say
,
let
us
presently
dispatch
messengers
to
the
Senate
of
Lydia
,
with
full
power
and
commission
from
this
Army
,
not
only
to
Treat
of
conditions
,
but
to
conclude
with
that
Councell
,
concerning
those
conditions
and
Articles
which
shall
be
thought
fit
to
be
offered
to
the
King
to
confirme
,
either
before
he
be
restored
to
his
Crowne
,
or
released
from
his
imprisonment
:
so
shall
we
be
pious
to
the
gods
,
just
to
our
friends
,
and
beneficiall
to
our selves
.
Although
there
was
much
contradiction
,
and
strong
disputes
concerning
this
oration
of
Argilius
;
yet
in
regard
Lycius
the
generall
,
with
many
others
of
his
faction
in
the
Councell
,
were
against
the
Kings
desires
;
An
absolute
determination
was
presently
there
taken
,
to
send
Argilius
with
some
other
Commissioners
to
the
City
of
Sardis
,
whereby
to
conclude
such
propositions
,
as
should
be
held
most
advantagable
as
they
said
for
both
Nations
;
Though
it
was
well
knowne
the
Myssians
had
only
an
intention
to
good
themselves
;
not
only
in
the
payment
of
that
money
,
which
they
expected
from
the
Senate
,
but
in
regard
of
their
secret
intentions
by
Euarchus
suppression
,
to
have
an
equall
share
in
the
government
of
the
Kingdom
of
Lydia
:
but
however
they
concluded
,
to
put
in
execution
their
resolutions
with
all
expedition
,
yet
they
still
kept
the
King
in
hopes
by
faire
promises
of
his
restoration
,
as
well
to
couzen
and
deceive
his
expectation
,
that
he
might
not
entertaine
new
thoughts
,
or
fall
upon
other
Counsels
,
as
that
he
might
not
be
irreconcilably
distasted
with
their
actions
,
if
they
should
misse
of
their
agreement
with
the
Senate
of
Sardis
,
who
they
doubted
might
be
something
unwilling
,
to
part
with
those
vast
summes
that
were
demanded
;
which
fayling
,
they
intended
to
make
use
both
of
the
Kings
Titles
and
countenance
,
to
prosecute
their
other
designes
,
either
in
Lydia
it selfe
or
any
other
part
of
Asia
,
as
there
should
be
occasion
.
The
propositions
they
offered
to
the
Senate
were
these
:
First
,
that
the
solemne
protestation
formerly
agreed
upon
should
be
taken
by
every
person
of
both
Nations
without
exception
,
out
of
which
not
the
King
himselfe
to
be
exempted
:
secondly
not
onely
the
jurisdiction
but
the
very
name
of
the
Flamins
to
be
absolutely
abolished
,
and
no
other
rights
and
manner
of
worship
of
the
gods
,
to
be
used
but
according
to
the
customes
of
Myssia
:
Thirdly
,
that
both
Euarchus
and
his
posterity
so
farre
to
be
disinabled
in
their
authority
,
that
each
Senate
in
both
Kingdomes
might
be
sufficiently
confident
of
their
power
,
whereby
to
be
freed
in
their
own
opinions
from
all
danger
and
suspition
in
the
future
:
Fourthly
,
that
such
sums
of
money
should
speedily
be
payed
to
the
Myssians
as
was
promised
for
their
satisfaction
;
and
Lastly
,
Commissioners
to
be
chosen
out
of
either
Countrey
,
to
whom
the
common
transaction
of
affairs
should
be
equally
committed
.
Although
these
two
latter
Articles
were
something
disputed
,
yet
it
was
not
long
before
it
was
agreed
,
that
these
conditions
being
presented
and
the
King
refusing
to
subscribe
them
,
he
should
be
detained
as
a
prisoner
,
and
not
acknowledged
for
a
Prince
:
Argylius
and
the
rest
returning
to
the
Campe
,
(
where
the
King
to
be
short
refusing
his
subscription
and
consent
)
within
a
very
few
weeks
,
imployed
for
the
circumstances
necessarily
belonging
to
every
performance
,
Euarchus
was
by
the
conduction
of
some
Troopes
of
horse
,
delivered
into
the
custody
of
Farezius
,
who
presently
conveyed
him
with
his
own
Souldiers
,
to
a
faire
house
formerly
belonging
to
the
Kings
of
Lydia
:
Of
the
other
side
,
both
Argylius
and
Lycius
,
marched
into
their
own
Countrey
of
Myssia
,
with
money
and
triumph
,
as
if
they
had
deserved
immortall
fame
,
for
their
disloyalty
,
which
for
the
present
must
end
my
dolefull
story
,
since
the
time
of
the
day
envites
us
to
take
part
of
a
slender
supper
,
according
to
the
warning
of
the
little
Bell
I
heare
:
however
before
you
goe
to
bed
,
I
engage
my selfe
,
to
furnish
you
with
another
relation
,
much
more
pleasing
to
my
thoughts
,
that
occasioned
the
late
meeting
of
the
people
in
the
Fields
,
with
such
expressions
of
joy
as
you
beheld
:
so
taking
Narcissus
by
the
hand
,
he
led
him
into
a
pretty
roome
,
where
they
found
two
or
three
dishes
of
meat
newly
set
upon
the
Table
,
attended
onely
by
the
old
woman
and
the
youth
.
After
they
had
given
thankes
to
the
gods
,
within
an
hours
space
they
ended
their
supper
;
the
cloth
being
presently
taken
away
,
and
some
few
other
discourses
of
delight
fittest
for
digestion
past
over
,
the
Priest
againe
began
this
new
relation
.
Euarchus
said
he
,
being
thus
entered
as
I
told
you
into
a
new
captivity
(
though
farre
more
nobly
used
)
was
constrained
to
attend
the
comming
of
the
commissioners
of
the
Myssians
to
Sardis
,
for
the
further
disposure
of
his
person
and
affaires
:
but
in
the
interim
the
Souldiers
,
whether
contrary
to
their
custome
and
vocation
,
reflecting
principally
upon
the
miseries
and
afflictions
of
the
King
,
or
rather
being
willing
to
make
that
the
ground
or
pretentions
for
their
future
intentions
,
to
quarrell
with
the
Senate
,
about
their
owne
discontents
,
in
seeing
the
Myssians
esteemed
and
themselves
neglected
,
not
onely
by
degrees
began
to
use
the
King
gently
,
but
openly
to
complaine
,
that
themselves
were
so
farre
from
receiving
rewards
for
their
services
,
as
that
they
had
not
been
justly
paid
their
wages
:
when
as
the
Myssians
as
they
said
,
received
great
summes
of
money
,
for
doing
nothing
else
but
running
away
,
and
betraying
their
King
:
also
they
seemed
exasperated
,
to
have
them
countenanced
in
setting
up
their
manner
of
worship
of
the
gods
,
throughout
all
the
Kingdome
of
Lydia
,
to
the
enslaving
as
was
urged
of
the
Nation
in
the
free
liberty
of
their
consciences
;
when
as
the
people
according
as
had
bin
promised
them
,
could
not
exercise
their
own
manner
of
worship
:
besides
they
seemed
extreamly
to
repine
that
Myssian
governours
should
be
joyned
with
those
of
Lydia
it selfe
,
in
the
management
of
State
affaires
,
that
belonged
properly
onely
to
the
Nation
:
neither
did
these
discontented
discourses
end
in
this
manner
;
for
they
daily
assembled
in
private
Counsels
,
to
produce
something
for
their
advantages
,
though
they
yet
knew
not
very
well
what
either
to
demand
or
act
:
however
these
proceedings
were
soone
brought
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Senate
,
who
being
jealous
also
of
their
own
intentions
,
were
a
great
deale
the
more
fearfull
of
any
dangerous
accidents
;
so
that
presently
they
sent
messengers
to
the
Army
,
though
as
't
was
said
with
intentions
to
perswade
,
yet
with
authority
to
command
the
Souldiers
to
a
better
obedience
:
but
as
these
officers
were
extreamely
deceived
in
their
expectations
,
concerning
their
own
power
and
interest
in
the
Campe
,
so
were
they
forced
with
expedition
to
returne
to
those
that
sent
them
,
with
some
terrour
in
their
countenances
;
As
this
for
many
dayes
,
caused
sometimes
distracted
Counsels
,
otherwhiles
more
peremptory
discourses
,
so
was
it
not
over
long
before
the
Senate
,
was
saluted
with
a
declaration
from
the
Souldiers
,
wherein
they
not
onely
taxed
them
,
with
want
of
justice
and
extreame
ingratitude
to
the
Army
,
that
had
fought
so
many
Battels
,
and
shed
so
much
bloud
for
themselves
and
the
priviledges
of
Lydia
,
but
also
presented
their
considerations
with
these
following
proposals
,
wherein
they
wisht
to
be
speedily
satisfied
:
first
,
that
they
might
with
all
expedition
not
onely
be
paid
their
just
dues
,
but
in
a
convenient
time
be
farther
rewarded
according
to
their
deserts
:
Secondly
,
that
no
part
of
the
Army
should
be
disbanded
without
their
owne
consents
:
Thirdly
,
that
such
lawes
and
decrees
might
presently
be
established
,
to
assure
the
people
of
Lydia
of
their
convenient
liberties
;
and
Lastly
,
that
the
worship
of
the
gods
according
to
the
Myssian
rights
,
might
not
be
imposed
absolutely
upon
any
person
or
condition
:
These
demands
being
sent
to
the
Senate
by
messengers
of
their
own
,
that
before
never
expected
to
be
contradicted
,
much
lesse
circumscribed
by
any
power
whatsoever
,
began
to
thinke
,
that
it
would
be
now
their
safest
way
,
rather
for
the
present
to
endeavour
to
temper
the
Souldiers
passions
,
then
further
either
to
tempt
or
hazzard
their
fury
;
To
this
purpose
they
returned
back
their
messengers
,
with
faithfull
or
at
leastwise
fained
promises
,
that
speedily
they
should
receive
satisfaction
,
according
to
their
hearts
content
:
Neverthelesse
the
Army
finding
after
some
weekes
expectation
,
that
the
Senate
endeavoured
,
rather
to
deceive
their
expectations
by
sowing
underhand
and
private
factions
among
the
Souldiers
,
then
that
they
intended
really
to
performe
in
effect
,
any
thing
that
was
actually
for
their
good
,
after
they
had
as
it
were
chosen
Farezius
as
their
Captaine
Generall
for
their
priviledges
,
as
well
as
the
Senate
had
chosen
him
for
the
Warres
,
not
only
seized
presently
upon
most
of
the
Magazins
of
the
Kingdome
,
but
also
sent
some
Troopes
to
take
the
King
out
of
prison
where
he
remained
:
Euarchus
being
a
little
amazed
at
this
new
and
sudden
attempt
,
as
he
could
not
well
interpret
their
meaning
,
although
't
is
probable
he
might
like
well
enough
of
their
actions
,
so
at
the
first
,
did
he
make
some
stand
at
their
proceedings
;
yet
at
last
being
perswaded
of
their
faire
intentions
,
and
having
of
the
other
side
assured
them
of
his
affection
,
they
instantly
carried
him
in
a
certaine
kinde
of
triumph
through
most
part
of
the
Kingdome
of
Lydia
,
untill
at
last
they
lodged
him
in
a
brave
Castle
of
his
own
,
where
he
now
remaines
(
as
it
is
believed
)
with
a
great
deale
of
satisfaction
;
And
the
rather
,
for
that
(
it
being
so
given
out
)
they
doe
not
only
in
an
honourable
manner
,
suffer
him
to
exercise
his
own
rights
concerning
the
worship
of
the
gods
,
with
a
free
admittance
of
all
companies
to
be
entertained
,
with
what
conversation
he
pleaseth
,
but
have
lately
envited
him
to
send
for
the
Queene
and
all
his
children
,
who
shall
be
as
they
say
joyfull
witnesses
of
his
being
againe
established
in
his
Throne
and
dignity
:
and
however
they
be
something
suspitious
of
the
practises
of
the
Commissioners
of
Myssia
,
and
those
belonging
to
that
faction
,
least
they
might
perswade
the
Kings
heart
from
the
interest
of
the
Souldiers
,
yet
the
better
to
give
him
satisfaction
,
concerning
the
opinion
of
his
own
liberty
;
neither
they
or
any
else
are
debarred
either
from
his
presence
or
communication
;
whilst
of
every
side
they
have
promised
the
common
people
a
happinesse
according
to
their
expectations
,
both
in
their
manner
of
worshipping
the
gods
,
as
well
as
belonging
to
all
other
priviledges
,
that
can
possibly
any
way
appertaine
unto
their
future
condition
:
which
in
truth
I
must
tell
you
was
the
only
occasion
of
our
assembly
this
day
;
Not
only
to
thanke
the
gods
in
the
generall
for
this
appearing
happy
change
,
but
also
a
little
to
exercise
their
ancient
decorums
in
their
rurall
sports
,
in
regard
they
had
been
for
some
time
debarred
from
such
sports
,
by
the
rigid
severity
of
the
Myssian
customes
;
which
as
I
told
you
have
been
brought
into
Lydia
,
by
the
Priests
and
others
of
that
Nation
,
that
at
last
was
imposed
upon
the
people
,
as
an
absolute
injunction
by
the
authority
of
the
Senate
:
This
being
what
I
can
say
for
your
satisfaction
,
concerning
the
present
affaires
of
the
Kingdome
,
wherein
I
feare
me
I
have
too
much
offended
in
the
generall
by
my
long
discourses
,
though
upon
the
matter
I
do
not
see
how
they
could
have
been
well
omitted
in
any
particular
,
so
I
hope
you
will
now
give
me
leave
to
end
.
After
that
Narcissus
had
thanked
him
for
the
paines
he
had
taken
,
and
the
favour
himselfe
had
received
,
(
having
past
away
some
time
longer
in
other
discourses
upon
the
same
subject
)
the
Priest
calling
his
boy
to
take
the
lights
,
he
conducted
Narcissus
into
his
chamber
,
where
after
a
while
,
with
some
Court-complements
,
he
left
him
to
take
his
rest
,
promising
in
the
morning
to
shew
him
the
Liberary
,
as
one
of
the
best
curiosities
he
could
present
him
withall
.
It
was
not
very
early
the
next
morning
,
that
the
Priest
interrupted
Naroissus
,
conceiving
belike
that
his
travell
required
something
more
then
ordinary
rest
,
though
in
that
he
was
much
deceived
;
for
he
was
not
accustomed
to
let
passe
much
time
,
without
thinking
upon
his
deere
Cloria
:
when
he
came
into
his
chamber
,
he
invited
him
,
according
to
his
promise
to
the
sight
of
his
Library
.
As
in
that
place
they
turned
over
many
books
of
divers
kinds
,
so
beholding
amongst
other
things
,
Maps
and
Spheares
of
the
world
,
they
fell
in
divers
discourses
concerning
the
opinions
of
some
in
the
Primitive
age
,
that
did
not
believe
there
were
any
Antipodes
;
as
also
,
others
again
,
that
thought
the
Sunne
stood
still
,
and
the
earth
turned
round
;
besides
,
a
third
sort
of
people
which
would
not
believe
,
but
that
there
was
another
world
in
the
Moon
.
This
gave
occasion
to
the
old
Priest
to
say
,
that
as
he
would
not
much
trouble
his
thoughts
with
the
disputation
of
those
questions
,
since
it
could
no
way
concerne
either
his
present
or
future
being
,
so
was
it
an
unanswerable
argument
for
the
immortality
of
the
soule
,
that
the
Sun
being
of
so
vast
a
greatnesse
,
&
of
so
excellent
a
clarity
,
no
way
to
be
known
or
imagined
,
of
what
matter
it
was
made
of
,
could
not
in
all
reason
but
be
created
for
a
thing
more
worthy
then
it self
;
&
that
not
appearing
in
this
world
,
of
necessity
it
must
be
the
reasonable
soul
of
man
,
and
nothing
else
,
which
was
at
first
ordained
to
be
the
object
of
such
an
intention
,
in
regard
that
onely
remaining
here
,
pretends
to
eternity
,
and
so
consequently
more
worthy
then
all
other
things
.
From
this
discourse
,
they
fell
to
a
disputation
about
the
priviledge
of
Armes
and
Learning
,
which
of
both
ought
to
have
the
greater
prerogative
in
peoples
esteem
:
Narcissus
said
,
that
as
action
was
more
Noble
then
contemplation
,
since
the
one
did
but
think
what
the
other
performed
;
so
in
probability
arms
was
to
be
preferred
before
letters
,
in
that
it
created
really
the
subject
for
the
others
imployment
:
besides
,
he
said
that
action
did
not
onely
nourish
it selfe
,
but
gave
life
to
other
things
,
as
namely
History
,
the
worlds
looking-glasse
,
and
times
recorder
:
againe
,
the
undergoing
of
dangers
and
difficulties
,
as
he
said
,
was
a
means
to
warme
mens
apprehensions
,
and
desires
with
Noble
flames
;
whilst
Learning
,
in
a
more
obscure
way
,
did
but
hold
it
the
best
honour
it
could
merit
from
posterity
,
to
remember
truly
what
other
people
did
worthy
of
commendation
;
however
perhaps
it selfe
was
onely
contented
to
lie
drowned
in
a
certain
kind
of
sensuality
,
pleased
with
an
imagination
,
that
coveted
but
to
know
those
things
perfectly
,
which
it
never
intended
at
all
to
practise
;
since
the
dignity
of
Crowne
and
Empires
depended
not
upon
the
information
of
who
possessed
them
,
but
in
having
the
free
dispose
of
such
glories
themselves
,
for
the
most
part
not
to
be
compassed
and
enjoyed
,
but
by
active
valour
;
when
as
books
did
no
otherwise
then
make
relation
of
those
passages
,
like
Generals
in
triumphant
Chariots
after
the
battel
,
shewing
to
the
people
what
was
deserved
in
the
field
;
or
rather
representing
an
excellent
Comedian
,
appareld
in
most
glorious
attire
,
that
playes
to
the
life
without
wounds
,
the
part
of
him
that
acted
nobly
and
dangerously
against
his
enemy
.
Books
I
must
confesse
,
said
he
,
are
commodious
pictures
,
to
teach
present
times
by
predecessors
examples
,
what
men
ought
to
doe
in
their
own
persons
;
whereas
by
activity
and
armes
,
we
are
put
in
possession
of
the
honour
it selfe
:
The
one
,
as
I
may
say
,
being
onely
the
shadow
,
that
may
in
some
sort
satisfie
a
soule
not
sufficiently
knowing
or
inflamed
;
like
old
people
that
repeat
with
delight
their
old
stories
in
their
youth
,
when
they
have
no
more
power
or
will
to
act
to
any
purpose
:
whereas
the
other
continues
us
enjoying
our
own
vertues
,
like
a
plentifull
and
flourishing
Harvest
,
producing
variety
of
new
fruit
to
the
industrious
Husbandman
.
He
further
said
,
that
Letters
were
onely
usefull
in
seasons
of
quiet
,
whereas
armes
could
onely
secure
and
protect
learning
at
all
times
,
to
make
it
become
profitable
,
for
that
mens
unruly
and
preposterous
courses
,
and
actions
were
to
be
restrained
and
regulated
,
more
by
power
then
perswasion
.
This
being
said
,
Narcissus
with
a
gentle
smile
,
gave
the
Priest
also
occasion
to
shew
his
reasons
.
The
Priest
told
him
,
as
he
hoped
without
offence
he
would
give
him
leave
to
be
of
a
contrary
opinion
,
however
he
honoured
sufficiently
the
profession
of
armes
,
so
with
a
courteous
smile
he
began
the
question
also
in
this
manner
:
although
I
will
not
deny
,
said
he
,
but
my selfe
to
have
been
a
souldier
in
my
youth
,
yet
I
cannot
but
stand
for
the
priviledge
of
the
pen
,
according
to
reason
and
justice
;
wherefore
as
contemplation
doth
not
destroy
the
exercise
of
the
body
,
so
of
the
other
side
,
books
render
a
man
more
capable
to
act
with
advantage
,
without
which
attempts
would
not
be
much
profitable
,
since
mans
life
is
too
little
a
space
to
learne
sufficiently
,
what
were
best
to
be
done
in
many
things
:
he
said
further
,
that
Military
discipline
it selfe
,
could
not
subsist
to
any
prevailing
purpose
,
without
those
rules
and
orders
which
were
before
thought
upon
,
and
learned
by
method
and
instruction
;
for
that
it
is
not
onely
the
running
precipitately
into
hazzards
and
dangers
,
that
ought
to
render
a
person
deservedly
admired
,
though
sometimes
blindfold
fortune
,
crowne
the
action
or
attempt
with
successe
;
but
rather
when
as
by
a
knowing
valour
,
we
have
either
prevented
a
mischiefe
or
procured
a
victory
,
deserves
estimation
:
A
prudent
and
valiant
Generall
,
said
he
,
goeth
not
so
much
into
the
field
to
hazzard
and
destroy
,
as
to
preserve
and
overcome
;
which
certainly
cannot
be
so
well
effected
,
as
by
least
slaughter
,
and
most
policy
;
for
although
Monarchies
and
Countries
are
oftentimes
conquered
by
force
of
armes
and
power
,
yet
seldome
without
stratagems
and
prudence
can
they
be
long
&
quietly
enjoyed
,
for
want
of
good
established
lawes
to
maintaine
them
in
peace
and
security
;
Warres
he
affirmed
resembled
furious
windes
and
stormes
that
overthrow
buildings
,
and
productions
,
but
order
and
quiet
like
good
builders
or
provident
husbandmen
,
make
up
againe
the
breaches
to
fairenesse
and
commodity
:
even
as
a
rough
and
harsh
hand
may
quickly
disorder
the
strings
of
instruments
for
want
of
sufficient
skill
,
but
it
must
be
skilfull
Artists
that
makes
them
sound
delightfull
to
the
eare
:
A
disorderly
commonwealth
said
he
,
may
sometimes
necessarily
be
chastized
with
the
sword
,
as
dangerous
putrifactions
,
which
are
to
be
cut
away
from
the
rest
of
the
members
,
to
save
the
whole
body
from
perishing
;
yet
good
and
knowing
government
must
be
alwayes
applyed
as
a
salve
to
render
the
rest
againe
whole
and
sound
:
in
conclusion
,
said
the
Priest
,
a
State
or
Kingdom
may
stand
without
Warre
,
but
without
learning
it
cannot
possibly
subsist
,
since
armies
themselves
that
are
esteemed
the
very
instruments
of
glorious
acquisitions
,
must
,
to
preserve
their
own
being
,
much
more
to
purchase
them
considerable
successe
,
be
obliged
punctually
to
observe
those
rules
prescribed
them
in
times
of
peace
:
To
this
discourse
Narcissus
only
replyed
,
since
he
had
so
well
defended
learning
by
learning
,
he
had
no
reason
any
more
to
endeavour
by
the
sharp
lauguage
of
his
tongue
to
destroy
the
excellency
of
the
subject
.
These
and
the
like
discourses
at
last
carrying
them
to
dinner
;
which
being
finished
and
the
cloth
taken
away
,
of
a
sudden
the
Priest
was
whispered
in
the
eare
by
the
little
youth
:
Narcissus
civilly
removed
from
his
place
to
give
them
the
more
freedome
of
speaking
:
when
he
had
done
,
the
Priest
told
him
that
he
was
sent
for
by
one
Creses
,
a
young
Nobleman
of
Lydia
,
unto
whom
he
had
been
formerly
beholding
,
not
only
for
the
saving
of
his
Library
,
but
for
many
other
courtesies
,
during
his
being
imployed
in
the
Senates
service
;
who
was
just
now
(
being
come
out
of
Syria
)
arrived
in
the
Towne
hard
by
,
from
whom
he
doubted
not
as
he
said
but
to
have
some
relations
of
consequence
,
to
which
purpose
he
did
intend
to
bring
him
along
with
him
to
supper
:
He
farther
enformed
him
,
that
he
had
formerly
enjoyned
him
to
write
the
passages
of
these
Times
which
gave
his
studies
some
daily
exercise
:
with
this
he
took
his
leave
of
Narcissus
;
wishing
him
to
thinke
upon
what
imployment
he
pleased
in
the
interim
,
either
in
his
gardens
or
amongst
his
bookes
.
Narcissus
after
the
Priest
was
gone
,
as
he
reflected
upon
Creses
arrivall
,
who
might
bring
newes
out
of
Syria
as
he
hoped
towards
the
establishing
of
Euarchus
in
his
Throne
,
by
which
consequence
he
doubted
not
,
but
the
sooner
to
come
to
the
period
of
his
own
love
,
so
of
the
other
side
did
he
resolve
,
upon
his
quitting
suddenly
the
Priests
house
,
to
put
himselfe
underthe
command
of
the
revolted
Army
,
not
knowing
which
other
way
to
doe
his
sweet
Princesse
any
considerable
service
;
especially
for
that
the
King
her
father
seemed
now
to
be
only
under
the
care
and
protection
of
the
Souldiers
:
The
next
consideration
that
came
into
his
minde
was
,
by
what
meanes
he
might
with
the
least
suspition
provide
himselfe
with
horse
and
armes
to
that
purpose
;
since
he
durst
not
discover
his
intention
to
the
Priest
,
for
feare
of
the
more
notice
to
be
taken
of
his
quality
and
condition
:
The
whole
afternoone
in
a
manner
he
spent
in
these
considerations
,
untill
the
old
Priest
returned
with
Creses
in
his
company
;
who
yet
had
not
enformed
him
of
any
newes
at
all
concerning
his
Travels
,
by
reason
they
had
neither
privacy
or
conveniency
,
in
regard
of
the
many
visits
and
other
complements
they
received
from
the
Townsmen
:
As
soon
as
Creses
entered
the
room
,
the
Priest
made
him
acquainted
with
Narcissus
,
who
was
one
as
he
said
that
belonged
to
the
Countrey
of
Cyprus
:
whereupon
Creses
replyed
,
that
as
his
person
merited
in
outward
appearance
,
the
best
respect
that
could
be
given
by
all
civill
people
of
any
Nation
,
so
was
he
extreame
happy
in
the
encounter
,
for
that
his
Travels
perhaps
might
furnish
him
with
something
out
of
his
own
Countrey
,
if
lately
he
had
not
heard
from
thence
,
of
some
consequence
:
after
that
Narcissus
had
returned
him
a
sutable
complement
,
both
the
Priest
and
himselfe
seemed
somewhat
passionate
to
heare
his
relation
,
which
quickly
carried
them
all
three
to
a
convenient
feat
in
the
garden
,
where
Creses
without
much
circumstance
used
this
discourse
unto
them
,
whilst
their
supper
was
preparing
in
the
kitchin
in
the
interim
.
As
it
is
sufficiently
known
said
he
,
how
unfortunately
the
Princesse
Cloria
(
after
she
was
delivered
out
of
the
Castle
by
my selfe
)
was
carried
back
againe
to
the
Senate
,
by
the
Treason
of
certaine
Souldiers
fled
from
the
Battell
which
Prince
Thyasmus
lost
to
the
Myssians
,
so
will
I
only
begin
my
relation
from
my
own
quitting
of
Lydia
upon
that
occasion
:
to
which
purpose
you
must
know
,
that
it
being
my
intention
in
the
first
place
to
visit
our
Queene
Hyacinthia
,
to
informe
her
fully
of
all
occurrences
in
Lydia
,
since
I
was
rendered
by
reason
of
that
accident
,
altogether
uncapable
of
other
services
any
way
beneficiall
,
either
to
the
Princesse
or
her selfe
;
finding
upon
my
arrivall
in
the
Island
of
Cyprus
,
that
the
Queen
was
newly
parted
from
thence
,
I
had
some
leasure
granted
me
to
be
enformed
of
the
late
strange
newes
of
that
Island
,
which
were
delivered
me
in
this
manner
:
the
passages
I
am
the
more
willing
to
relate
for
the
satisfaction
of
this
stranger
.
The
Dukes
daughter
of
that
Countrey
named
Eretheria
,
one
day
walking
by
chance
by
the
Sea
side
with
one
attendant
onely
,
neer
a
certaine
kinde
of
religious
house
where
she
was
retired
for
her
devotions
,
of
a
sudden
casting
down
her
eyes
towards
the
bottome
of
the
rocks
,
she
might
see
something
lye
,
that
however
so
farre
off
she
could
not
perfectly
distinguish
;
Neverthelesse
continuing
her
lookes
fixed
for
some
time
upon
the
object
,
which
she
thought
according
to
the
fancies
of
her
imagination
,
not
only
to
be
a
body
that
had
been
cast
up
by
the
Sea
,
but
that
it
also
appeared
to
have
some
motion
in
it
:
so
that
there
being
in
that
place
certaine
steps
cut
in
the
stone
,
that
afforded
conveniency
enough
for
descent
,
she
resolved
her selfe
in
person
to
make
the
experiment
,
whereby
the
better
to
satisfie
her
curiosity
:
where
being
arrived
with
her
maid
servant
,
she
soon
perceived
a
handsome
young
man
lying
upon
the
sands
,
with
a
piece
of
round
Timber
under
his
body
,
as
it
were
infolded
within
one
of
his
armes
,
whilst
the
other
lay
at
some
distance
:
This
prospect
however
it
something
startled
her
thoughts
,
with
a
little
kinde
of
horrour
,
yet
her
courage
more
prevailing
then
the
naturall
fearefulnesse
of
her
sex
,
as
she
approached
neerer
,
the
youth
seemed
to
have
some
motion
,
and
this
gave
both
her
apprehension
and
charity
a
Subject
as
she
thought
to
work
upon
:
wherefore
presently
sending
her
attendant
to
call
some
Fishermen
at
a
prety
distance
that
were
mending
their
Nets
,
she
caused
them
presently
to
transport
the
youth
to
a
small
house
by
the
water
side
,
who
in
the
interim
began
to
recover
more
and
more
life
:
To
be
short
,
within
a
while
she
applyed
so
many
remedies
with
her
faire
hands
to
his
distempers
,
that
in
a
few
dayes
he
recovered
from
the
greatest
part
of
his
danger
,
though
not
altogether
out
of
the
troublesomenesse
of
his
sicknesse
;
which
kept
him
in
his
bed
for
a
very
long
season
,
though
in
a
manner
daily
visited
by
the
faire
and
charitable
Eretheria
;
not
yet
having
yielded
an
account
to
any
of
the
accident
by
Sea
,
that
was
the
occasion
of
his
being
cast
in
that
sort
upon
the
shoare
:
But
finding
at
last
,
that
he
not
only
had
gained
a
competent
strength
for
what
expression
soever
,
but
also
that
that
faculty
restored
to
him
was
at
present
necessary
to
be
used
for
his
advantage
,
one
day
when
Eretheria
came
according
to
her
custome
to
visite
her
sick
patient
,
the
roome
being
freed
by
accident
from
all
company
else
,
the
youth
to
her
no
small
amazement
prosecuted
this
discourse
.
Alasse
sweet
Eretheria
said
he
,
what
serve
these
outward
remedies
you
apply
to
my
weake
body
,
when
you
leave
my
heart
still
subject
to
a
dangerous
and
painfull
disease
?
these
words
seemed
so
strange
to
the
eares
of
the
young
Lady
,
that
with
a
certaine
kind
of
amazed
look
,
she
only
entertained
his
expectation
for
some
time
;
but
at
last
apprehending
a
few
sparcles
of
love
might
proceed
from
her
frequent
visitations
,
that
hadimboldned
the
youth
to
higher
ambitions
,
then
any
way
his
condition
could
merit
,
or
she
admit
of
,
had
drawn
from
him
these
extravagant
expressions
;
turning
her
countenance
instantly
into
a
frown
,
she
told
him
,
she
was
of
opinion
that
his
distracted
spirit
,
by
reason
of
his
long
sicknesse
,
had
caused
him
to
very
ridiculous
fancies
instead
of
using
fitting
respects
:
To
which
he
suddenly
replyed
;
no
,
no
,
most
deare
Eretheria
,
know
that
I
am
not
mad
by
these
new
distempers
,
but
long
since
wounded
by
your
bewitching
beauty
;
so
that
as
the
guilt
justly
belonges
unto
you
,
so
ought
you
also
to
take
upon
you
the
blame
:
for
you
may
be
satisfied
if
you
please
,
that
your
patient
is
no
other
but
your
unfortunate
servant
Eumenes
,
preserved
as
I
may
say
miraculously
from
the
rage
and
violence
of
the
Seas
unkindnesse
,
to
be
more
again
tormented
and
endangered
by
your
cruelty
:
This
was
enough
to
have
put
Eretheria
beyond
all
degrees
of
wonder
and
amazement
,
since
Hyacinthia
our
Queen
had
brought
newes
of
his
and
Prince
Cassianus
miscarriage
,
as
she
had
been
enformed
by
an
unfortunate
shipwrack
in
her
company
:
but
when
againe
she
had
computed
inwardly
in
her
mind
the
time
of
the
accident
,
and
the
finding
of
his
body
lying
upon
the
sands
,
to
agree
punctually
together
,
it
rendred
her
absolutely
certaine
in
her
beliefe
,
that
he
was
no
other
then
the
right
Eumenes
:
besides
both
his
voyce
and
countenance
,
though
much
changed
by
reason
of
his
sicknesse
,
at
last
lively
came
into
her
apprehension
:
so
that
after
shee
had
a
long
time
rested
silent
,
as
if
her
consideration
laboured
to
digest
her
thoughts
into
a
method
,
or
rather
seeming
to
labour
inwardly
by
the
force
of
many
passions
,
she
at
last
broake
out
into
these
expressions
,
wherein
both
her
words
and
her
teares
were
sufficient
witnesses
of
her
extraordinary
distemper
:
O
you
gods
said
she
,
must
I
be
an
instrument
to
protect
murther
,
under
the
pretence
of
using
charity
;
much
lesse
certainly
ought
it
be
imagined
,
that
I
should
imbrace
such
a
love
without
my
fathers
consent
;
who
undoubtedly
can
never
be
pleased
with
an
election
of
these
oppositions
;
And
with
that
flew
out
of
his
chamber
with
some
violence
:
This
gave
Eumenes
considerations
sufficient
imployments
,
since
he
was
not
only
in
despaire
that
Eretheria
would
never
entertaine
his
affections
,
but
doubted
whether
or
no
she
might
not
deliver
him
up
into
the
hands
of
justice
:
but
againe
reflecting
upon
the
noblenesse
of
her
nature
accompanied
with
so
many
rare
perfections
,
he
could
not
believe
so
pure
a
whiteness
of
disposition
like
the
rich
Ermin
,
would
suffer
it selfe
to
be
defiled
by
any
provocation
to
false-hood
:
Neverthelesse
the
griefe
to
be
left
in
that
manner
by
the
faire
Eretheria
,
as
it
were
confounded
in
a
vast
Sea
of
confusion
,
when
as
before
he
had
raised
his
hopes
to
some
pitch
of
probability
,
by
reason
of
the
opportunities
he
enjoyed
with
those
respects
he
had
received
from
her
after
the
tilting
,
continued
his
distempers
a
long
time
upon
him
;
which
also
became
extreamly
augmented
,
in
regard
that
Eretheria
absolutely
forbore
her
accustomed
visits
:
that
caused
her
belike
in
the
interim
,
more
closely
to
retire
her selfe
amongst
the
holy
Virgins
,
in
the
place
where
she
then
remained
;
either
being
struck
perhaps
with
the
sensible
feeling
of
the
youthes
sufferings
(
withall
a
little
jealous
of
her
own
honour
)
or
the
more
conveniently
to
avoid
the
importunity
of
such
suitors
,
that
her
father
had
proposed
to
her
choyce
:
however
not
to
detaine
me
over
long
in
the
relation
,
or
〈◊〉
in
the
hearing
,
by
laying
open
all
the
circumstances
,
that
might
appertaine
to
so
passionate
a
story
,
Eumenes
,
after
he
was
in
a
sort
perfectly
recovered
of
his
sicknesse
,
found
means
by
a
certaine
disguise
he
borrowed
of
a
young
Novice
belonging
to
the
order
,
not
only
to
procure
admittance
into
the
conversation
of
Eretheria
(
who
not
being
absolutely
profest
,
he
might
the
more
conveniently
doe
)
but
in
a
short
time
after
he
had
one
day
discovered
himselfe
to
her
knowledge
,
with
teares
,
sighes
,
and
other
services
,
obtained
some
kind
of
entertainment
in
her
favour
:
Neverthelesse
in
the
interim
she
conjured
him
,
by
all
those
affections
that
he
could
expect
from
her
condition
,
so
to
conceale
his
person
from
the
knowledge
of
any
,
that
her
father
might
never
suspect
either
his
pretentions
,
or
that
he
was
living
:
Eumenes
although
he
thought
himselfe
sufficiently
honoured
,
that
his
beautifull
Mistresse
,
would
in
this
manner
allow
him
the
freedome
of
her
chast
conversation
,
yet
considering
he
was
not
much
neerer
his
journeyes
end
by
the
favour
,
then
the
Suns
revolution
,
that
did
but
rise
and
set
,
to
prosecute
the
one
course
without
alteration
,
conceived
himselfe
to
be
in
a
manner
in
the
same
predicament
as
tormented
Tantalus
;
her
permittance
being
onely
remedies
to
keep
his
thoughts
alwayes
in
an
appetite
,
without
tasting
of
that
fruit
which
he
so
much
coveted
:
however
his
hopes
were
sufficiently
encouraged
to
keep
despaire
from
seizing
upon
his
soul
:
Thus
I
say
he
continued
enjoying
though
he
never
enjoyed
,
untill
the
unexpected
death
〈◊〉
the
Duke
her
father
,
gave
Eretheria
full
liberty
(
as
she
thought
)
to
dispose
of
her selfe
without
contradition
;
At
these
words
Narcissus
began
to
grow
pale
,
in
so
much
as
the
Priest
asked
him
how
he
did
?
but
he
reflecting
upon
the
necessity
of
concealing
himselfe
,
in
regard
of
the
Princesse
Clorias
desires
,
where
as
she
only
upon
those
conditions
,
was
content
to
allow
him
her
conversation
,
and
besides
considering
that
the
demonstration
of
any
passions
could
not
againe
call
his
father
to
a
new
life●
,
told
them
,
that
as
a
little
quame
had
something
overcome
his
stomack
so
was
he
for
the
present
pretty
well
recovered
:
wherefore
desired
Creses
,
without
any
more
interruption
in
his
behalfe
to
prosecute
his
story
,
which
made
him
quickly
returne
to
the
matter
in
this
manner
:
Eretheria
said
he
,
being
thus
the
absolute
possessor
of
her
own
liberty
,
as
by
descent
the
only
heire
to
her
fathers
fortunes
,
since
her
brother
Narcissus
had
miscarried
unfortunately
some
time
before
at
Sea
,
as
was
generally
conceived
throughout
the
whole
Island
of
Cyprus
was
presently
perswaded
by
the
States
of
the
Countrey
,
to
make
election
of
some
Noble
and
worthy
husband
,
that
might
be
capable
to
execute
that
charge
and
command
,
that
belonged
formerly
to
the
Duke
her
father
;
for
that
by
reason
of
her
sex
,
she
could
not
entirely
of
her selfe
enjoy
the
office
;
being
willing
as
they
said
,
if
it
were
possible
,
to
continue
the
jurisdiction
in
the
same
bloud
,
in
regard
of
those
extraordinary
benefits
the
Island
had
received
by
the
government
of
the
late
Duke
her
father
:
As
Eretheria
could
not
but
accept
of
these
propositions
,
that
pretend
to
so
much
love
to
her selfe
and
family
,
after
she
had
returned
them
a
gratefull
acceptance
of
their
kindnesse
,
with
all
the
fitting
expressions
she
could
use
to
that
purpose
,
within
a
very
few
dayes
,
Eumenes
was
produced
to
the
consideration
of
the
people
,
as
the
person
she
most
desired
to
affect
,
which
without
any
great
opposition
was
approved
of
in
the
generall
,
as
being
a
man
who
had
not
only
borne
a
long
affection
to
the
Princesse
,
but
upon
all
occasions
had
demonstrated
a
sufficient
courage
and
judgement
,
worthy
of
any
imployment
:
As
in
this
manner
he
was
created
both
Prince
and
Governour
at
the
same
time
,
so
I
left
the
Island
of
Cyprus
,
providing
not
only
for
the
Nuptials
of
the
young
couple
,
but
for
the
Funerals
of
the
old
Duke
:
whilst
my
occasions
and
passions
carried
me
after
the
Queene
Hyacinthia
into
Syria
,
being
thither
retired
as
I
heard
after
the
death
of
Philostros
,
who
during
his
life
had
absolutely
obstructed
her
passage
and
intention
:
where
being
no
sooner
arrived
,
but
as
the
world
had
bin
turned
into
nothing
but
wonders
,
I
found
also
Orsames
dead
,
and
his
Queen
newly
brought
abed
of
two
sonnes
,
which
afforded
the
Kingdom
of
Syria
an
equall
share
both
of
joy
and
sorrow
:
This
notwithstanding
so
farre
protracted
my
designes
,
that
as
I
had
but
little
conveniency
to
present
the
State
of
our
Lydian
affaires
to
Hyacinthia
with
all
the
particulars
concerning
the
Princesse
Clorias
fortunes
,
so
had
she
lesse
hope
her selfe
to
determine
of
any
thing
speedily
,
in
regard
of
the
unsettlement
of
businesses
and
governments
in
Syria
,
by
reason
of
those
new
changes
that
had
so
lately
hapned
:
so
that
for
some
time
I
was
constrained
to
quit
the
City
of
Damascus
,
and
to
retire
my selfe
to
a
more
private
place
of
habitation
,
finding
at
Court
how
unwilling
they
were
to
entertaine
any
occasion
of
charge
and
expence
;
the
rather
for
that
Prince
Arethusius
the
Kings
eldest
sonne
,
was
only
to
be
furnished
out
of
his
mothers
pension
and
allowance
:
but
long
I
had
not
continued
in
my
voluntary
retirement
,
but
sudden
intelligence
was
brought
to
Court
,
not
onely
of
the
generall
revolt
of
the
Senate
of
Lydias
Army
from
their
service
,
but
also
that
it
was
reported
they
had
taken
King
Euarchus
out
of
Prison
into
the
Souldiers
protection
:
as
this
gave
all
our
thoughts
,
fresh
hopes
of
something
speedily
to
be
acted
for
his
good
and
restoration
,
so
am
I
at
present
sent
to
him
with
Letters
from
the
Queen
,
though
to
what
effectuall
purpose
I
cannot
tell
,
for
that
I
find
not
only
her selfe
,
but
the
whole
State
of
Syria
to
be
extreamely
addicted
to
the
Myssian
interest
,
which
as
I
suppose
the
Army
will
never
willingly
consent
unto
,
in
regard
they
have
already
so
publickly
and
violently
declared
to
the
contrary
;
having
made
it
the
chiefe
occasion
of
the
quarrell
between
them
and
the
Senate
,
which
in
effect
is
all
I
can
say
either
of
my
journey
or
imployment
:
Then
turning
himselfe
to
the
Priest
he
told
him
,
that
he
must
intreat
his
company
to
Court
:
and
this
presently
carried
them
all
three
to
supper
.
When
they
had
ended
,
the
Priest
told
Narcissus
,
that
although
he
feared
his
occasions
would
constraine
him
for
the
present
to
take
a
journey
to
Court
,
whereby
to
have
the
happinesse
againe
to
see
his
old
master
the
King
,
and
so
by
consequence
not
to
be
longer
in
a
capacity
,
to
doe
him
that
farther
service
in
his
own
house
he
desired
,
yet
he
hoped
they
should
have
the
honour
of
his
company
along
with
them
,
where
he
durst
undertake
his
reception
should
be
equall
with
either
of
theirs
,
in
those
contents
they
should
receive
by
so
fortunate
an
occasion
.
Narcissus
after
he
had
thanked
him
,
as
well
for
his
past
favours
as
his
present
offers
,
assured
him
that
as
he
could
not
but
be
extreamely
joyfull
at
the
opportunity
he
should
have
by
that
voyage
,
againe
to
behold
his
great
master
in
some
probability
of
being
restored
to
his
ancient
right
and
dignity
,
so
did
he
wish
him
unfainedly
to
believe
,
that
notwithstanding
he
could
most
willingly
participate
of
his
good
luck
in
personally
accompanying
them
to
Court
,
whereby
to
be
an
eye
witnesse
of
their
entertainments
,
yet
such
were
his
pressing
occasions
(
especially
in
regard
of
those
accidents
that
had
lately
hapned
in
the
Island
of
Cyprus
)
that
he
was
obliged
to
make
what
hast
he
could
possible
into
his
own
Countrey
,
where
notwithstanding
he
should
study
what
requitals
he
should
be
any
way
able
to
performe
in
lieu
of
those
civillities
he
had
received
by
his
meanes
in
the
Kingdome
of
Lydia
:
These
complements
with
other
discourses
continued
them
in
communication
,
untill
the
time
of
the
night
caused
them
all
to
retire
into
their
severall
lodgings
:
and
the
rather
was
the
hast
more
necessary
,
for
that
the
Priest
was
to
make
some
convenient
preparation
for
the
next
dayes
journey
.
When
Narcissus
was
come
into
his
chamber
,
and
being
there
onely
accompanied
by
his
folitary
thoughts
,
instead
of
sleep
he
fell
upon
these
melancholly
considerations
:
First
it
came
into
his
minde
,
that
he
had
not
alone
lost
a
deare
and
loving
father
,
whose
wisedome
would
have
been
a
continuall
support
unto
him
in
all
his
difficult
affaires
,
but
by
that
unreparable
losse
,
he
was
also
in
danger
to
be
deprived
of
the
best
part
of
his
esteemed
hereditary
honour
,
and
command
,
by
the
marriage
of
his
sister
with
Eumenes
,
since
in
his
roome
he
was
elected
chiefe
governour
of
the
Countrey
,
in
regard
of
the
generall
opinion
was
amongst
the
people
of
his
death
:
yet
againe
notwithstanding
this
possession
,
he
had
some
hopes
by
the
affection
of
the
Inhabitants
to
be
restored
to
his
right
,
when
they
should
by
his
personall
appearance
,
be
made
fully
acquainted
with
the
mistake
of
his
death
without
either
bloud
or
trouble
,
since
as
he
doubted
not
of
the
naturall
affection
of
his
sister
Eretheria
,
so
would
he
not
suspect
the
noble
disposition
of
Eumenes
:
but
when
he
reflected
upon
the
lustre
and
sweetnesse
of
Crownes
and
Dignities
,
being
once
enjoyed
either
by
ambitious
and
high
spirits
,
he
conceived
there
might
be
more
difficulty
in
the
attempt
then
ordinary
,
and
so
consequently
an
occasion
given
of
contention
and
slaughter
,
not
possible
to
be
ended
between
them
without
destruction
to
one
or
other
:
besides
he
doubted
for
the
present
which
seemed
most
to
trouble
him
,
that
these
sudden
changes
,
might
so
far
alienate
the
thoughts
and
affections
of
the
Princesse
Cloria
from
his
parsicular
,
that
she
might
be
induced
in
the
interim
,
to
entertaine
the
addresses
of
Cassianus
,
that
were
most
violently
as
he
knew
proposed
to
her
choyce
by
the
powerfull
Senate
of
Lydia
;
And
as
he
imagined
would
be
the
sooner
entertained
,
in
regard
of
the
King
her
fathers
present
necessities
,
who
by
that
meanes
might
hope
the
easier
to
come
to
the
possession
of
his
rights
,
especially
when
all
opportunities
were
afforded
,
either
for
courtships
or
solicitation
;
and
probably
could
not
long
be
resisted
,
by
reason
of
her
constrained
condition
,
that
obliged
her
without
prevention
,
to
endure
all
assaults
and
affronts
to
that
purpose
,
that
should
from
time
to
time
be
attempted
upon
her
person
:
As
these
last
considerations
most
strugled
inwardly
with
his
uncertaine
thoughts
,
not
knowing
well
whether
he
should
leave
Lydia
or
not
,
so
did
he
begin
to
thinke
,
that
there
being
no
Army
in
the
Field
that
was
in
action
,
and
not
knowing
how
to
be
admitted
to
Clorias
presence
,
it
would
be
too
little
purpose
longer
to
continue
in
the
Kingdome
;
and
therefore
resolved
presently
to
goe
for
Cyprus
;
where
he
seemed
not
to
doubt
,
but
that
the
people
(
if
not
Eumenes
himselfe
)
finding
him
alive
contrary
to
their
expectation
,
would
soon
be
perswaded
to
reason
in
his
behalfe
:
And
to
this
purpose
being
setled
in
his
fathers
command
,
he
should
be
not
only
able
to
bring
assistance
to
King
Euarchus
occafions
,
but
also
contribute
much
to
his
dangers
releasement
;
whereas
the
contrary
would
both
confirme
the
opinion
of
his
being
dead
,
and
in
some
sort
accuse
himselfe
of
too
much
sloath
in
his
own
nature
,
for
not
appearing
activer
in
those
concernments
of
his
own
that
belonged
so
exceedingly
to
his
honour
and
welfare
:
with
these
resolutions
he
quickly
fell
asleep
.
In
the
morning
the
old
Priest
came
to
Narcissus
to
take
his
leave
with
these
complements
,
that
as
he
had
hitherto
been
ashamed
,
that
his
own
disability
to
render
him
those
services
due
to
his
worth
,
had
made
him
want
he
feared
such
entertainment
as
was
fitting
in
his
poore
habitation
,
and
much
more
since
he
was
now
forced
to
leave
him
by
the
accidentall
journey
,
he
was
constrained
to
make
to
Court
in
the
company
of
Creses
,
so
if
he
pleased
to
designe
any
longer
stay
in
the
Kingdome
of
Lydia
,
he
should
take
it
for
some
part
of
satisfaction
to
his
fortunes
,
that
he
would
resolve
to
make
use
of
his
house
in
his
absence
,
a
place
should
be
alwayes
ready
he
assured
him
,
to
afford
him
the
best
conveniency
it
was
able
for
his
aboade
:
which
he
refusing
with
the
like
complements
,
they
both
presently
descended
into
the
Hall
,
where
they
found
Creses
ready
prepared
to
take
horse
:
After
they
had
eate
a
bit
or
two
,
and
performed
some
other
few
ceremonies
belonging
to
their
departure
,
they
quickly
mounted
their
Steads
.
The
Priest
and
Creses
had
not
travelled
many
Furlongs
together
,
ere
they
met
with
a
most
even
and
direct
path
way
;
and
that
commodity
as
it
should
seem
invited
them
both
to
a
new
discourse
,
since
the
Priest
seemed
extreamely
unsatisfied
as
yet
,
why
the
State
of
Syria
,
and
much
more
the
Queen
Hyacinthia
,
should
be
so
unwilling
to
entertaine
a
correspondency
with
the
Army
,
that
had
delivered
the
person
of
Euarchus
out
of
Prison
,
though
passionately
desirous
to
retaine
an
interest
with
the
Myssians
,
that
had
apparantly
betrayed
him
thither
,
according
to
the
common
opinion
almost
of
all
Asia
.
Father
,
said
Creses
,
as
I
have
already
made
unto
you
a
relation
of
my
voyage
into
Cyprus
,
with
some
part
of
my
proceedings
in
Syria
,
so
having
for
the
present
so
faire
an
opportunity
,
I
shall
endeavour
to
let
you
know
my
thoughts
,
in
many
other
particulars
that
I
have
not
yet
mentioned
:
To
this
purpose
you
must
understand
,
that
however
the
people
of
the
Island
of
Crete
,
seem
to
professe
the
same
worship
of
the
gods
with
the
State
of
Syria
,
yet
cannot
they
obtaine
the
free
exercise
of
their
religion
,
either
from
King
Euarchus
or
his
Queen
Hyacinthia
:
though
Euarchus
by
the
Court
of
Syria
hath
been
prest
not
onely
to
signe
all
the
chiefe
articles
of
the
Myssians
,
but
also
even
to
subscribe
to
their
tenents
in
matter
of
Doctrine
,
notwithstanding
they
be
altogether
destructive
to
Kingly
rule
or
the
religion
of
Syria
:
As
this
gives
me
not
so
much
encouragement
in
my
journey
as
I
could
wish
,
in
regard
the
Souldiers
will
not
be
willing
to
allow
of
any
interest
but
their
own
,
towards
the
placing
of
the
King
again
in
his
Throne
,
so
the
Commissioners
of
the
Myssians
as
I
heare
,
are
extreamly
busie
about
the
Kings
person
,
to
the
no
small
discontentment
of
the
army
,
that
hath
him
now
under
their
jurisdiction
:
the
Queen
when
I
parted
from
her
at
Damascrs
gave
me
expresse
order
,
that
however
I
might
complement
with
the
Souldiers
,
and
draw
from
them
all
the
advantages
that
possibly
I
could
,
tending
to
her
husbands
service
,
yet
I
must
be
sure
as
she
told
me
in
the
first
place
,
to
possesse
the
Myssians
with
an
opinion
,
that
Euarchus
chiefe
trust
must
still
rest
in
their
fidelities
and
assistance
,
though
he
be
forced
for
the
present
to
comply
with
the
Army
,
that
delivered
him
out
of
the
hands
of
the
Senate
:
but
here
I
make
no
doubt
but
you
will
aske
me
why
the
State
of
Syria
,
much
lesse
our
Queen
Hyacinthia
,
should
be
so
wedded
to
the
Myssians
particular
?
when
as
probably
they
can
never
be
brought
,
to
be
hearty
in
the
Kings
affaires
,
since
not
only
in
the
beginning
of
these
times
they
opposed
his
authority
,
with
all
the
craft
and
violence
they
could
possibly
use
,
but
at
last
as
I
may
say
delivered
him
betrayed
and
bound
hand
and
foot
,
into
the
hands
of
those
that
were
esteemed
by
himselfe
his
greatest
enemies
,
when
as
he
had
chosen
for
his
protection
,
rather
the
Myssian
Army
then
the
Senate
of
Lydia
:
And
this
expression
of
ill
nature
and
treachery
,
was
only
to
obtaine
the
payment
of
a
small
sum
of
money
,
not
to
be
valewed
in
regard
of
a
Kings
ransome
:
so
that
I
say
it
may
be
supposed
,
they
have
some
other
hidden
mystery
in
their
thoughts
against
his
prosperity
,
which
perhaps
the
State
of
Syria
wil
never
be
able
sufficiently
to
understand
,
whilst
it
be
too
late
to
repaire
the
Kings
losses
onely
procured
by
those
people
:
for
it
is
well
knowne
,
during
the
time
they
gave
Euarchus
the
best
hopes
concerning
their
affections
and
fidelity
,
they
were
then
by
their
false
instruments
,
contracting
with
the
Senate
for
his
speedy
imprisonment
;
a
plaine
demonstration
of
their
harsh
and
cruell
intentions
towards
his
particular
;
for
that
when
they
most
betrayed
him
,
they
profest
themselves
then
his
faithfullest
servants
;
as
it
were
smothering
him
in
a
bed
of
roses
,
and
killing
him
with
deceitfull
language
:
whereas
of
the
other
side
,
these
Souldiers
that
have
not
onely
the
Kings
person
,
but
his
authority
under
their
jurisdiction
;
and
so
by
consequence
may
either
shorten
his
life
or
preserve
his
dignity
,
notwithstanding
they
have
heretofore
alwayes
declared
themselves
mortall
enemies
to
his
interest
,
and
proceedings
,
as
never
having
any
dependency
upon
the
Court
or
his
affaires
,
yet
now
appeare
to
the
outward
view
of
the
world
,
to
be
his
greatest
friends
,
either
being
converted
and
altered
in
their
opinions
,
or
more
compassionate
and
just
in
their
dispositions
:
which
certainly
cannot
but
extreamely
augment
the
Kings
obligations
,
if
they
performe
any
thing
remarkable
according
to
their
professions
;
but
as
I
will
not
trouble
you
with
my
thoughts
,
what
may
be
the
issue
of
their
intentions
or
actions
,
so
must
I
a
little
discourse
unto
you
,
what
may
be
the
suppositions
of
the
Syrian
State
,
that
seemes
so
much
to
countenance
the
Myssians
before
the
Souldiers
;
and
to
say
the
plaine
truth
doe
more
favour
them
then
any
other
people
,
that
have
seemed
most
affectionate
towards
the
Kings
interest
.
First
you
may
suppose
,
that
they
thinke
the
Myssians
,
not
onely
in
regard
that
most
of
the
gentry
and
Nobility
,
have
either
command
or
imployment
in
the
Army
or
Warres
of
Syria
,
but
the
common
people
and
inferiour
sort
,
have
such
a
dependency
upon
the
Nation
,
by
reason
of
certaine
priviledges
granted
them
time
out
of
mind
,
by
way
of
a
free
Trade
and
commerce
amongst
them
,
that
it
is
unpossible
for
them
to
quit
their
interest
,
for
any
other
benefit
that
can
be
proposed
to
their
consideration
:
And
the
rather
for
that
the
Court
maintaines
alwayes
some
Ambassadour
or
Agent
in
their
Countrey
,
both
to
direct
their
actions
and
designes
,
and
to
inform
the
State
upon
all
occasions
of
their
proceedings
;
which
joyned
with
the
large
pentions
are
bestowed
amongst
their
rulers
,
and
other
eminent
persons
of
Myssia
,
will
prove
as
they
believe
necessary
ties
and
obligations
to
retaine
their
fidelities
constant
to
the
Syrian
ends
;
And
so
consequently
can
they
never
attempt
the
destroying
or
lessening
of
Monarchy
,
but
as
they
shall
direct
and
approve
of
:
besides
most
of
the
factions
now
prevailing
against
Euarchus
authority
in
Myssia
,
are
composed
either
of
Lords
or
Priests
,
who
are
most
commonly
not
so
envious
to
royalty
(
or
at
leastwise
as
they
may
believe
more
to
be
perswaded
by
reason
)
then
extravagant
people
,
that
have
learned
no
rules
necessary
to
government
and
order
,
by
any
manner
of
fitting
education
;
wherefore
not
so
much
to
be
feared
in
their
courses
and
prevailing
jurisdiction
,
if
they
should
be
suffered
something
too
much
to
prosper
in
either
proceedings
against
their
King
:
Secondly
,
it
cannot
be
doubted
,
but
that
Monarchy
in
the
generall
,
is
a
great
deale
more
conducing
to
the
commodity
of
the
Myssians
,
then
a
common
government
,
either
in
Lydia
or
Myssia
;
and
therefore
not
probable
they
should
joyne
in
such
a
strict
amity
with
the
Senate
,
as
absolutely
to
destroy
the
prerogative
,
and
Kingly
jurisdiction
of
Euarchus
,
since
by
that
conclusion
,
they
would
neither
be
able
to
temper
their
own
factions
at
home
,
amongst
the
Nobility
and
persons
of
greatest
quality
,
nor
have
any
hope
to
receive
benefit
from
other
Princes
abroad
in
their
occasions
:
and
whereas
many
may
be
perswaded
to
believe
,
that
by
agreeing
in
those
designes
,
for
the
absolute
overthrowing
of
Monarchy
in
Lydia
,
they
might
in
time
come
to
be
equall
sharers
in
the
government
of
both
Kingdomes
;
and
so
consequently
participate
alike
in
the
profit
and
gain
,
being
the
chiefe
(
if
not
the
onely
)
thing
their
covetous
dispositions
looke
after
,
such
thoughts
are
meere
fancies
and
chymeras
:
for
certainly
the
Senate
understanding
well
the
poornesse
of
the
Country
of
Myssia
,
and
not
being
ignorant
of
the
secret
intentions
of
the
people
,
withall
how
insulting
and
encroaching
they
are
in
their
natures
;
will
be
sure
to
take
order
,
they
shall
have
no
more
interest
in
the
affaires
of
Lydia
,
then
is
intirely
necessary
for
their
own
service
and
commodity
:
so
that
when
the
Myssians
shall
find
their
aymes
to
faile
in
these
particulars
,
it
is
to
be
imagined
that
they
will
not
onely
be
perswaded
,
upon
the
least
endeavour
of
the
State
of
Syria
,
to
fall
off
from
the
Lydian
faction
,
but
even
to
make
a
War
with
that
Nation
it selfe
,
for
the
establishing
againe
of
their
King
in
his
ancient
glory
and
command
;
and
to
that
effect
adhere
either
to
Syria
or
any
other
Nation
that
may
assist
them
in
those
proceedings
:
onely
this
doubt
in
some
sort
may
be
made
,
that
Argilius
and
Lycius
,
who
so
unworthily
have
betrayed
the
Kings
person
for
a
sum
of
money
,
will
never
by
their
good
wills
trust
themselves
any
more
under
his
power
,
for
feare
of
revenge
answerable
to
their
deserts
;
And
they
being
the
most
principall
men
of
the
Countrey
,
it
is
to
be
suspected
,
they
will
have
so
great
power
and
influence
,
over
the
actions
and
determinations
of
the
rest
of
the
Inhabitans
in
the
generall
,
that
they
can
never
be
brought
in
any
kind
to
own
the
Kings
interest
to
purpose
,
notwithstanding
all
the
labour
and
industry
of
the
Kingdome
of
Syria
:
But
to
this
I
shall
only
make
this
answer
,
that
however
these
people
prevailed
in
the
Myssian
Army
for
the
selling
of
the
Kings
person
,
against
the
thoughts
and
wills
of
many
,
yet
that
very
action
of
theirs
,
hath
procured
them
since
so
much
hatred
in
their
own
Country
,
that
it
may
very
probably
be
believed
by
the
State
of
Syria
,
there
must
of
necessity
arise
daily
new
factions
amongst
them
,
neither
want
they
intelligence
at
the
present
,
that
assures
them
that
an
Army
will
suddenly
march
into
Lydia
from
Myssia
,
in
King
Euarchus
behalf
:
which
advertizement
I
suppose
is
sent
,
them
by
their
Ambassadour
there
remaining
:
Last
of
all
I
may
adde
that
the
Court
of
Syria
may
imagine
,
the
Souldiers
who
have
now
the
King
in
their
possession
,
having
no
other
relation
but
to
their
own
wills
and
uncertaine
principles
,
will
prove
from
time
to
time
as
inconstant
in
their
resolutions
,
as
they
have
been
heretofore
desperate
in
their
fortunes
,
and
be
rather
in
the
generall
inclinable
to
affect
equality
,
then
continue
long
contented
to
be
governed
by
Kingly
authority
,
or
to
say
the
plaine
truth
willing
to
be
under
any
jurisdiction
whatsoever
;
witnesse
their
falling
off
from
their
command
both
under
the
Senate
and
their
old
Generall
:
besides
it
is
esteemed
a
maxime
among
their
tenents
,
to
have
scarce
dependency
upon
any
power
,
neither
in
those
things
that
belong
to
the
gods
worship
,
or
concerning
other
their
humane
actions
,
pretending
by
such
constraint
,
an
absolute
freedome
cannot
be
enjoyed
,
either
in
minde
or
body
;
so
that
however
the
King
may
seem
a
little
to
revive
by
their
proceedings
,
yet
I
can
assure
you
in
Syria
,
there
is
a
great
doubt
made
of
the
reality
of
their
actions
:
but
whether
these
opinions
be
grounded
,
either
upon
the
perswasions
of
the
Myssians
,
or
upon
other
more
solid
though
secret
reasons
,
I
will
not
take
upon
me
at
present
to
determine
,
but
rather
shall
expect
,
both
with
hope
and
patience
the
issue
,
in
the
interim
apply
my selfe
to
my
direction
and
commission
,
as
well
in
keeping
a
correspondency
with
the
Souldiers
as
with
the
Myssians
:
by
this
time
again
the
way
began
to
be
something
uneven
,
so
that
they
could
not
well
prosecute
any
farther
discourse
.
At
night
they
tooke
up
their
lodging
;
not
above
halfe
a
dayes
journey
where
the
King
remained
,
and
not
much
farther
distant
from
the
City
of
Sardis
,
where
encountering
with
a
jovial
companion
master
of
the
house
,
as
appearing
also
faithfull
to
Euarchus
in
his
intentions
,
after
they
had
accommodated
themselves
to
their
minds
in
their
chambers
,
they
desired
their
host
with
an
equall
indifference
to
let
them
understand
,
as
well
the
newes
that
concerned
the
proceedings
of
the
Senate
,
as
that
which
belonged
more
properly
to
the
Army
,
since
as
they
said
,
they
could
not
chuse
,
but
be
of
a
nature
something
more
remarkable
then
ordinary
,
in
regard
of
the
late
transactions
of
both
parties
,
which
seemed
at
present
to
put
most
of
the
Kingdome
to
a
kind
of
a
vast
consideration
concerning
the
issue
:
the
rather
were
they
curious
of
this
information
,
the
better
thereby
to
tast
the
inclinations
of
the
people
.
Truly
gentlemen
,
said
the
Host
,
as
I
must
not
take
upon
me
the
understanding
of
either
of
their
proceedings
and
determinations
,
when
as
perhaps
they
are
not
very
well
acquainted
with
their
own
intentions
themselves
,
so
shall
I
to
supply
that
defect
enforme
you
if
you
please
,
of
those
discourses
that
have
lately
passed
in
the
Senate
,
concerning
the
Kings
government
,
notwithstanding
the
Souldiers
have
him
personally
at
the
present
under
their
jurisdiction
;
who
to
say
the
plaine
truth
,
use
him
with
that
civility
and
respect
,
that
it
gives
his
friends
more
then
ordinary
hopes
,
of
his
speedy
restoration
againe
to
the
honour
of
his
Crowns
and
Dignity
;
however
the
gods
onely
know
what
the
issue
of
their
determinations
may
be
:
some
of
the
Senate
would
have
no
King
at
all
,
pretending
that
it
would
be
too
miserable
a
condition
for
all
sorts
of
people
,
to
be
Subject
both
in
their
persons
and
estates
to
an
entire
Monarch
,
not
suffering
them
so
much
as
to
aske
a
reason
concerning
any
thing
that
should
be
done
amisse
,
although
their
purses
and
paines
were
forced
,
upon
all
occasions
to
pay
for
the
honour
,
and
the
pride
belonging
to
the
dignity
:
whereas
a
common
government
as
they
say
,
gives
a
certaine
kinde
of
encouragement
pleasing
,
in
some
kinde
or
other
to
all
sorts
of
people
,
as
having
an
appropriated
share
in
every
action
,
that
concerned
the
good
or
ill
of
the
Commonwealth
:
others
againe
of
a
contrary
spirit
pretended
,
they
are
afraid
,
that
if
the
government
should
be
absolutely
changed
to
a
popular
State
,
though
it
might
seem
in
outward
appearance
,
to
have
more
freedome
,
it
could
not
neverthelesse
but
be
of
lesse
security
,
in
that
it
would
be
alwayes
Subject
to
faction
and
confusion
,
in
regard
of
the
inconstancy
of
dispositions
,
and
therefore
are
rather
of
opinion
,
that
the
government
remaine
in
the
same
nature
as
it
doth
,
with
some
necessary
restrictions
to
their
King
:
A
third
sort
made
some
doubt
,
how
to
finde
out
wayes
to
limite
a
Monarch
in
any
kinde
,
by
what
lawes
soever
could
be
established
to
that
purpose
,
it
being
almost
impossible
to
take
from
a
Prince
altogether
the
sword
of
Justice
&
power
,
and
yet
suffer
him
still
to
remain
in
the
condition
of
a
governour
;
which
in
effect
would
be
no
other
,
then
a
common
government
varnished
over
,
with
a
glorious
Title
to
no
effect
,
leaving
the
whole
as
subject
to
faction
and
confusion
,
as
if
there
were
no
King
at
all
;
in
that
he
should
want
the
authority
,
although
he
were
honoured
with
the
name
necessary
to
that
purpose
:
there
were
others
that
suddenly
started
up
in
the
Senate-house
,
who
imagined
they
had
thought
upon
a
way
,
to
remedy
all
inconveniences
;
which
was
to
have
onely
a
King
by
election
,
either
of
Euarchus
family
or
some
other
:
but
the
proposition
was
quickly
answered
with
these
doubts
:
that
if
the
Prince
intended
,
should
be
elected
out
of
the
same
bloud
,
if
not
according
to
the
direct
line
of
succession
,
it
would
endanger
a
new
slaughter
and
faction
,
through
the
whole
Kingdome
,
by
reason
of
severall
ambitious
interests
;
of
the
other
side
,
if
he
were
absolutely
chosen
out
of
another
family
,
as
no
doubt
but
there
would
be
many
opposers
,
in
the
very
election
it selfe
,
so
not
possible
to
have
any
,
of
an
extraction
illustrious
enough
,
to
warrant
his
kindred
from
being
a
burthen
to
the
Commonwealth
in
their
maintenance
and
support
;
which
probably
would
prove
a
sufficient
inconvenience
to
the
people
;
for
that
oftentimes
justice
would
be
sold
,
&
other
oppressions
committed
,
only
to
supply
a
needy
and
indigent
family
:
in
conclusion
,
however
many
seemed
willing
againe
to
restore
Euarchus
,
and
his
posterity
to
their
ancient
rights
and
dignity
,
yet
fearing
in
regard
of
their
own
proceedings
,
that
they
might
be
strictly
called
in
question
for
their
past
actians
,
they
utterly
desisted
from
that
resolution
:
&
notwithstanding
these
severall
and
violent
discourses
,
for
that
time
they
setled
upon
no
determination
whatsoever
;
only
at
last
they
ordered
,
the
government
should
remaine
as
it
was
at
present
in
the
Senates
power
,
though
bearing
still
the
name
of
Euarchus
,
until
farther
confideration
:
I
must
tell
you
,
as
these
were
the
manner
of
disputations
in
the
Councels
at
Sardis
,
both
before
and
since
the
revolt
of
the
Army
,
so
now
by
their
favours
as
we
suppose
,
they
must
aske
leave
of
the
Souldiers
,
before
they
settle
either
a
government
in
themselves
,
or
take
it
away
from
others
;
And
the
rather
am
I
induced
to
this
beliefe
,
for
that
the
common
people
,
appeare
not
yet
much
scandalized
at
the
late
revolt
;
but
of
the
contrary
,
as
t
is
thought
,
would
be
extreamely
satisfied
with
the
Souldiers
proceedings
,
if
they
should
speedily
againe
turne
the
streame
into
its
right
course
;
however
in
that
I
shall
say
the
least
that
may
be
,
untill
I
be
more
instructed
in
the
constitution
of
the
world
:
with
these
words
he
ended
his
discourse
,
and
presently
tooke
his
leave
;
pretending
some
other
company
in
his
house
,
needed
also
another
part
of
his
entertainment
.
This
information
of
the
Host
,
gave
Creses
and
the
Priest
occasion
,
to
fall
into
a
more
serious
disputation
,
concerning
the
nature
and
property
of
Monarchy
and
other
governments
,
according
to
divers
opinions
and
judgements
,
with
the
severall
benefits
and
inconveniences
belonging
to
them
:
The
Priest
would
needs
take
upon
him
the
defence
of
the
Kingly
part
;
whilst
Creses
was
to
be
content
with
the
more
inferiour
degree
:
both
notwithstanding
grounding
their
discourses
,
from
the
hopes
they
had
,
that
the
Souldiers
would
shortly
againe
restore
Euarchus
to
his
Crowne
and
government
:
The
Priest
first
began
in
this
manner
:
As
Monarchy
in
the
generall
,
said
he
,
hath
been
held
by
writers
,
to
be
the
best
and
most
absolute
way
of
government
,
so
ought
it
as
well
be
granted
,
that
a
Prince
by
descent
and
inheritance
,
is
the
freest
of
all
others
from
burthen
and
inconvenience
to
the
people
;
since
the
making
up
of
new
families
upon
every
exchange
,
and
the
many
dangerous
factions
would
arise
by
reason
of
elections
,
would
at
one
time
or
other
,
either
hazzard
or
ruine
the
Commonwealth
;
for
that
all
ambitions
,
could
never
be
supprest
totally
in
every
person
,
with
the
only
consideration
of
the
common
safety
:
but
that
I
may
more
particularly
make
good
my
argument
,
I
shall
endeavour
from
certaine
principles
of
Divinity
,
nature
,
and
institution
,
to
prove
my
affirmation
and
opinion
:
In
the
first
place
according
to
the
example
of
the
divine
providence
,
there
is
but
one
God
that
made
and
now
rules
the
heavens
,
since
if
there
were
more
,
none
could
be
absolute
,
much
lesse
omnipotent
in
any
kinde
,
and
so
consequently
the
government
,
should
still
be
subject
to
variation
,
both
in
part
and
in
the
whole
;
for
as
divers
persons
must
have
severall
wills
,
so
that
of
necessity
,
would
confound
commands
and
distract
obedience
,
whereby
executions
,
could
not
chuse
but
be
protracted
to
the
rending
of
all
actions
and
endeavours
,
of
no
considerable
force
and
validity
to
the
convenient
and
orderly
rule
of
the
world
:
wherefore
we
see
,
subordinate
offices
are
appointed
in
every
degree
,
by
this
great
and
all
powerfull
God
;
every
distinct
orbe
being
so
involved
one
within
another
,
untill
they
all
become
governed
by
the
first
motion
,
onely
to
avoyd
equality
and
confusion
:
so
that
we
may
easily
perceive
by
that
decorum
,
that
there
is
an
entire
necessity
of
one
governour
:
As
for
example
,
there
is
but
one
Sun
that
governes
the
day
,
as
another
light
shines
in
the
night
,
neither
of
which
being
accompanied
with
any
of
equall
authority
or
influence
;
as
it
were
both
pretending
,
to
a
certaine
manner
of
absolute
Monarchy
in
their
severall
kinds
of
motion
and
lustre
:
in
the
second
place
,
by
the
very
rules
of
nature
we
have
experience
,
that
some
one
in
every
species
pretends
above
the
rest
to
dominion
and
jurisdiction
:
as
for
the
purpose
,
the
industrious
and
painfull
Commonwealth
of
the
Bees
,
have
alwayes
one
to
goe
before
them
,
whose
person
and
voyce
they
onely
obey
and
follow
,
with
a
seeming
care
and
extraordinary
obedience
:
The
silly
Ants
in
like
manner
,
have
their
Prince
amongst
them
,
who
seemes
by
his
absolute
authority
,
only
to
governe
and
direct
their
labours
,
tending
to
unity
and
benefit
in
their
small
and
innocent
Commonweal'h
:
so
that
these
being
creatures
no
way
given
to
exorbitancy
of
will
as
men
are
,
if
it
be
necessary
for
them
to
have
but
one
governour
,
much
more
for
us
who
are
given
in
a
manner
to
nothing
but
malice
and
pride
,
whereby
to
be
kept
in
order
and
regulated
in
our
dispositions
;
which
certainely
cannot
long
be
without
the
authority
of
some
single
power
,
that
must
not
be
equalled
or
contracted
by
any
other
:
we
see
if
two
strange
Bulls
be
but
turned
loose
together
in
any
pasture
,
their
contention
one
with
another
never
ends
,
whilst
one
of
the
two
have
gained
the
absolute
mastery
over
the
other
:
with
what
extraordinary
hatred
and
malice
will
two
little
Cocks
of
the
game
,
persecute
one
another
in
bloud
&
wounds
,
untill
the
one
of
them
have
obtained
the
victory
by
the
others
death
and
ruine
?
Ney
example
me
if
you
can
,
any
two
Males
of
any
generous
kinde
whatsoever
,
that
will
endure
the
others
society
,
without
an
absolute
subjection
to
his
power
and
courage
;
as
it
were
never
but
striving
till
one
have
procured
the
entire
jurisdiction
of
the
place
;
as
if
nature
by
no
meanes
could
admit
of
an
equality
in
government
;
whereas
of
the
contrary
,
the
Females
,
as
being
not
at
all
ordained
for
rule
and
command
,
are
seemingly
contented
with
the
society
,
and
company
of
their
fellowes
:
which
shews
in
my
opinion
a
certaine
kinde
of
necessity
in
all
governments
of
one
onely
Monarch
,
not
only
to
avoid
faction
and
confusion
,
but
to
unite
desires
and
industry
,
towards
the
welfare
and
benefit
of
any
Commonwealth
;
since
without
such
a
knowne
power
and
command
,
it
is
almost
impossible
,
to
bridle
and
keep
in
order
at
all
times
,
the
unruly
fancies
and
exorbitant
desires
of
mankind
:
whose
very
nature
or
inclination
,
doth
swell
as
it
were
with
nothing
but
appetites
of
contention
:
Lastly
concerning
the
very
institution
of
governments
upon
earth
:
the
first
certainly
was
Monarchy
;
for
as
in
the
beginning
a
man
in
his
own
private
family
,
appeared
to
be
the
onely
absolute
Prince
to
be
obeyed
,
so
dominions
and
Kingdomes
,
became
no
other
way
established
in
the
infancy
of
the
world
,
but
by
the
uniting
together
of
severall
housholds
,
either
by
accident
or
conquest
;
And
though
sometimes
people
meerly
out
of
necessity
,
to
keep
themselves
the
better
in
peace
and
quietnesse
,
were
forced
to
chuse
and
forme
commonwealths
,
yet
we
scarce
read
of
any
juridiction
to
be
enterteined
(
at
leastwise
to
be
continued
for
any
considerable
space
)
but
where
one
single
power
chiefly
if
not
absolutely
commanded
over
the
whole
;
as
if
the
multitude
by
the
very
light
of
nature
,
being
led
thereunto
by
the
meere
dictates
of
reason
,
without
any
manner
of
science
or
experience
,
were
constrained
to
believe
,
that
no
other
government
could
be
safe
and
lasting
;
however
their
Lords
not
seldome
proved
the
cruellest
Tyrants
could
be
imagined
:
as
I
cannot
deny
,
but
by
reason
of
the
exorbitancy
of
pernitious
and
wicked
Princes
,
a
State
hath
beene
changed
from
a
private
to
a
popular
Common-wealth
or
government
;
yet
scarce
did
I
ever
heare
of
any
,
but
that
both
began
and
ended
in
Kingly
authority
;
as
being
still
by
some
accident
or
other
,
constrained
to
that
election
or
conversion
,
either
in
absolute
power
,
or
mixt
representation
,
as
if
some
kinde
of
necessity
,
required
such
an
establishment
to
render
it
lasting
,
and
convenient
to
the
people
.
Neverthelesse
said
Creses
,
it
is
a
most
miserable
condition
for
the
people
,
to
be
in
a
continuall
subjection
,
under
the
power
and
command
of
either
an
impotent
or
an
exorbitant
Prince
;
for
though
he
should
know
what
were
best
to
be
done
,
yet
his
perverse
nature
and
disposition
,
would
not
suffer
him
to
put
it
in
execution
.
And
if
he
knew
not
how
to
governe
,
he
becomes
led
by
the
pride
and
covetousnesse
of
others
:
Again
,
put
the
case
government
might
fall
into
the
hands
of
a
mad
man
or
a
fool
,
what
remedy
then
could
be
expected
,
whereby
the
people
might
in
any
kinde
have
the
least
hope
of
redresse
?
since
by
the
Lawes
and
rules
of
inheritance
,
he
were
to
continue
still
without
prevention
and
obstacle
;
which
of
necessity
sometime
or
other
would
happen
;
&
consequently
cast
the
government
into
the
hands
of
such
as
he
should
chuse
,
that
probably
were
not
farre
from
his
own
temper
in
any
thing
:
in
like
manner
,
it
must
be
the
same
during
the
time
of
the
Princes
infancy
,
being
by
that
meanes
rendred
altogether
uncapable
either
of
governing
himself
or
others
.
T
is
true
answered
the
Priest
,
the
misfortune
to
a
Kingdome
is
not
small
when
either
of
these
happen
:
but
however
as
no
private
interest
can
be
so
destroying
as
generall
confusion
,
so
can
it
not
be
but
much
safer
for
a
Commonwealth
,
to
be
under
the
jurisdiction
of
one
vicious
or
impotent
Prince
(
who
t
is
likely
will
be
glutted
by
his
excesses
,
or
may
be
assisted
in
his
Councels
)
then
for
it
to
be
wholy
governed
by
many
disagreeing
heads
,
and
factious
dispositions
,
that
direct
severall
wayes
in
their
intentions
and
consultations
,
which
of
necessity
must
distract
all
profitable
determinations
,
and
at
the
best
cannot
but
protract
,
if
not
absolutely
hinder
those
executions
tending
to
peace
and
prosperity
;
being
scarce
to
be
avoyded
in
a
common
government
,
where
opinions
and
interests
are
severall
in
the
rulers
:
besides
,
it
is
well
knowne
that
in
such
Councels
,
secrets
of
the
most
highest
nature
(
for
that
they
are
committed
to
many
)
are
subject
to
be
revealed
if
not
betrayed
.
But
according
to
my
sense
and
beliefe
said
Creses
,
such
a
Magistracy
might
be
created
out
of
the
whole
,
that
when
good
and
necessary
fundamentall
Lawes
were
agreed
upon
,
might
easily
governe
with
secrecy
and
moderation
to
the
benefit
of
the
people
,
who
would
be
pleased
sufficiently
,
in
having
the
name
of
the
election
of
such
Ministers
.
If
you
meane
said
the
Priest
,
that
this
jurisdiction
should
be
eternall
,
it
were
a
great
deale
worse
and
more
dangerous
in
matters
of
Tyranny
and
injustice
,
then
to
be
under
one
single
Pritce
,
by
inheritance
,
since
he
might
dye
,
and
by
that
meanes
,
his
successor
might
againe
bring
ease
and
remedy
,
but
the
other
assembly
being
once
in
the
greater
part
corrupted
,
it
were
unpossible
ever
to
expect
any
redresse
at
all
;
for
that
those
that
should
happen
to
succeed
,
would
come
to
their
places
but
one
by
one
,
and
consequently
could
not
have
voyces
in
number
sufficient
to
countervaile
the
opinions
of
the
rest
,
remaining
in
the
Councell
or
Magistracy
:
besides
if
any
should
have
received
injury
,
or
endured
oppression
by
the
casting
voyces
of
the
whole
assembly
,
to
whom
should
he
flye
for
remedy
and
redresse
?
since
every
one
singly
would
put
off
the
blame
from
himselfe
;
pretending
not
to
have
authority
and
power
sufficient
,
without
the
generality
of
that
congregation
,
to
repaire
the
injured
person
;
which
seldome
or
never
could
be
procured
:
whereas
being
wronged
or
oppressed
by
a
Prince
,
or
any
of
his
Officers
or
Ministers
of
State
,
it
would
be
no
great
difficulty
,
to
make
the
particular
complaint
understood
at
one
time
or
another
to
himselfe
;
And
more
facile
it
would
be
a
great
deale
,
for
the
Monarch
or
governour
speedily
to
afford
the
remedy
,
either
in
that
,
that
concerned
his
own
person
,
or
belonging
to
any
of
his
Commissioners
;
for
else
he
should
be
forced
to
take
upon
him
the
blame
,
before
the
face
of
all
the
world
;
whereas
the
others
actions
,
(
that
is
to
say
concerning
the
particular
)
would
be
so
involved
in
the
darke
,
that
it
were
almost
impossible
to
make
it
appeare
where
the
fault
lay
but
in
the
generall
assembly
;
who
without
an
infinite
labour
could
not
be
brought
to
understand
,
much
lesse
to
redresse
the
grievance
:
And
if
you
meane
this
magistracy
or
supreame
authority
,
should
be
only
temporary
,
and
so
consequently
be
made
subject
upon
all
occasions
to
the
election
and
questioning
of
the
common
people
:
what
a
world
of
inconveniences
would
it
bring
?
not
only
by
continuall
factions
and
disorders
,
in
the
chusing
these
new
Magistrates
,
but
in
the
very
spight
and
heartburning
,
would
be
occasioned
thereby
amongst
the
people
,
being
carried
on
to
this
election
,
by
a
certaine
conceived
greatnesse
in
their
own
opinion
,
that
might
render
their
rude
ambitions
extreamely
unsatisfied
,
if
they
should
be
at
any
time
crost
in
their
choyce
;
with
a
thousand
other
inconveniences
that
I
cannot
mention
.
Yet
said
Creses
,
alshough
it
should
be
granted
,
that
in
those
particulars
you
have
mentioned
,
Monarchy
were
to
be
esteemed
the
most
convenient
government
of
all
others
;
however
it
cannot
be
denyed
,
but
that
the
common
people
are
in
that
slavery
under
such
a
jurisdiction
,
that
they
cannot
possibly
have
hearts
sufficiently
affectionately
to
render
them
entirely
industrious
,
towards
the
profit
and
good
of
the
Common-wealth
in
the
generall
,
in
regard
that
however
they
toyle
and
take
paines
in
abundance
,
they
can
never
attaine
to
any
places
of
dignity
or
respect
in
the
Kingdome
,
either
to
content
their
thoughts
or
advance
their
esteem
;
whereas
in
a
popular
state
,
the
meanest
is
in
the
same
capacity
of
preferment
,
as
the
highest
borne
person
in
he
Countrey
.
Although
this
be
true
said
the
Priest
;
yet
the
defect
proceeds
not
from
their
naturall
unhappinesse
,
but
from
their
disabillity
or
want
of
knowledge
in
regard
of
their
deficiency
in
education
,
which
inconveniency
and
defect
,
they
will
as
well
suffer
in
a
popular
government
,
as
in
a
Kingly
authority
,
since
no
worthy
person
whatsoever
is
debarred
from
preferment
in
a
Monarchy
,
if
his
industry
and
parts
can
merit
the
honour
and
advancement
;
and
although
he
should
in
any
kinde
misse
of
his
expectation
,
yet
it
would
not
grieve
him
so
much
to
be
under
the
jurisdiction
of
the
Nobility
,
that
are
by
birth
and
extraction
above
his
condition
as
to
finde
himselfe
much
subordinate
and
inferiour
,
to
those
of
his
own
ranke
and
quallity
:
to
be
esteemed
of
all
others
most
irkesome
to
humane
nature
:
so
that
you
see
it
is
but
meere
fancy
,
that
engenders
these
considerations
and
opinions
:
besides
there
are
other
inconveniences
and
omissions
appertaining
to
a
popular
government
;
as
for
example
,
it
seldome
or
never
preferres
or
rewards
worthy
persons
according
to
their
deserts
and
merrits
;
when
as
for
the
most
part
smallest
crimes
and
defects
are
punished
by
most
fearefull
and
horrid
severity
;
proceeding
either
from
envy
or
jealousie
,
which
is
the
occasion
that
oftentimes
,
when
Generalls
,
Commanders
,
or
States
men
have
procured
a
sufficient
interest
and
esteeme
amongst
all
sorts
of
people
,
whereby
to
be
able
to
contend
,
doubting
their
own
safeties
from
the
Magistracy
,
they
enter
presently
into
such
rebellions
that
either
turne
the
Commonwealth
into
a
Tyrannicall
Monarchy
,
or
occasion
at
the
best
so
much
bloud
and
slaughter
,
that
every
Subject
thereof
hath
reason
enough
to
feare
his
own
losse
,
if
not
generall
destruction
;
whereas
a
Prince
being
of
so
eminent
a
condition
himselfe
,
not
to
be
equalled
by
any
of
what
quallity
soever
,
hath
no
cause
to
be
envious
or
suspicious
:
againe
the
Prince
hath
a
more
neere
interest
in
his
Countries
good
then
all
his
subjects
besides
by
way
of
personall
honour
;
wherefore
a
greater
benefit
or
losse
attends
him
in
every
thing
,
that
is
acted
,
since
he
creates
not
only
the
officer
that
commands
or
executes
,
but
enjoyes
the
profit
or
disprofit
of
the
successe
,
whereas
the
people
in
a
Commonwealth
receive
it
but
in
the
generall
,
no
one
man
being
able
to
appropriate
any
publike
action
particularly
to
himselfe
;
which
is
a
principall
motive
to
enduce
the
Prince
to
attend
earnestly
the
prosperity
of
the
government
,
because
he
may
be
said
truly
to
esteeme
it
his
own
,
which
no
other
prison
can
doe
in
what
constitution
some
ever
,
if
there
be
others
in
equall
authority
with
him
;
for
to
joyne
interests
,
will
never
take
so
much
the
fancy
and
opinion
of
the
owners
,
as
those
which
are
singly
appertaining
but
to
one
onely
.
Well
said
Creses
)
although
I
see
upon
any
termes
you
will
needs
have
a
Monarchy
,
to
be
the
best
government
,
yet
neverthelesse
I
must
not
have
a
Prince
altogether
unlimited
,
as
it
were
threatning
a
kinde
of
a
fearefull
apprehension
of
Tyranny
to
his
people
;
by
which
meanes
they
would
be
hindred
from
endeavouring
industriously
,
either
the
common
good
or
their
private
welfare
:
but
rather
I
should
wish
a
king
,
in
some
sort
bound
by
lawes
fundamentall
,
established
by
a
lawdable
constitution
at
the
first
;
however
not
to
be
so
strictly
chayned
up
,
that
he
were
left
no
any
power
or
prerogative
at
all
,
without
his
Subjects
leave
,
or
be
so
let
loose
to
his
owne
will
and
pleasure
,
that
he
might
injure
,
and
oppresse
his
people
as
he
list
:
that
is
to
say
,
to
have
the
government
to
enjoy
such
a
mixture
in
the
whole
,
that
the
Subjects
might
not
be
over-bold
,
to
approach
his
presence
without
an
awfull
reverence
,
or
he
to
be
puffed
up
with
a
vaine
opinion
(
by
reason
of
his
dignity
)
that
the
Kingdome
or
commonwealth
was
bestowed
upon
his
condition
,
more
for
his
own
use
then
the
good
of
his
people
,
nor
I
neither
said
the
Priest
:
whereupon
being
called
away
to
supper
they
suddenly
broake
off
the
rest
of
their
discourse
.
The
next
day
about
noone
they
arrived
at
Court
,
or
rather
was
it
to
be
called
a
campe
,
since
the
Souldiers
seemed
to
beare
all
the
sway
,
notwithstanding
others
had
a
civill
liberty
allowed
them
,
to
be
admitted
upon
every
occasion
needfull
into
the
Kings
presence
.
When
Euarchus
was
enformed
not
onely
of
their
arrivall
,
but
that
Creses
had
brought
him
letters
out
of
Syria
from
the
Queen
,
he
with
a
great
deale
of
passion
sent
presently
for
them
into
his
presence
:
upon
their
enterance
they
found
him
seated
in
a
kind
of
a
confined
Majesty
,
Farezius
being
on
his
right
hand
not
farre
from
his
person
,
and
a
little
below
him
stood
one
Hercrombrotus
his
Lieutenant
Generall
,
a
man
that
seemed
to
carry
not
only
designe
,
but
policy
in
his
countenance
:
about
them
,
were
placed
many
common
souldiers
in
the
nature
of
a
gard
;
however
expressing
more
then
ordinary
freedome
both
in
their
lookes
and
demeanor
:
Creses
after
he
had
performed
his
wonted
reverencies
,
approached
the
King
with
a
humility
answerable
to
his
Titles
,
though
not
his
condition
;
presenting
him
with
the
Queens
letters
,
which
Euarchus
hastily
taking
out
of
his
hands
read
them
with
teares
in
his
eyes
,
and
then
asked
him
sundry
questions
both
of
his
wife
and
son
Prince
Arethusius
;
wishing
withall
he
might
once
more
have
the
happinesse
to
enjoy
their
company
in
Lydia
:
whereunto
Creses
soon
replyed
,
that
he
did
not
doubt
but
that
the
gods
ere
long
,
would
to
that
purpose
be
favourable
to
his
pious
intentions
:
Truly
said
the
King
turning
at
the
same
time
to
Farezius
,
this
brave
commander
,
doth
give
me
more
then
probable
hopes
to
this
effect
:
but
Farezius
made
him
no
other
answer
,
then
by
a
kinde
of
humble
bending
of
his
body
,
seemed
to
intimate
a
willingnesse
in
any
thing
to
comply
with
his
desires
.
Having
for
some
time
thus
discoursed
together
in
publick
,
the
King
(
also
taking
notice
of
the
old
Priest
with
more
then
ordinary
affection
)
he
led
Creses
into
an
out
window
in
the
same
roome
,
that
was
sheltred
from
the
view
of
the
common
people
,
by
large
Curtaines
that
reached
to
the
ground
,
where
after
they
had
continued
for
the
space
of
an
houre
in
private
conference
,
the
King
calling
unto
him
Farezius
used
this
language
,
with
such
a
look
,
as
might
procure
compassion
from
the
cruellest
Tyrant
in
the
world
.
Farezius
said
he
,
as
I
have
sufficient
experience
of
your
civilities
,
since
it
was
my
good
fortune
to
be
absolutely
under
your
jurisdiction
,
so
cannot
I
but
presume
upon
the
continuance
of
these
curtesies
,
finding
your
nature
to
be
both
noble
and
constant
:
wherefore
to
this
purpose
I
would
have
you
know
,
that
it
is
not
alone
my
own
desire
at
this
present
,
to
have
some
comfort
and
consolation
by
the
sight
and
conversation
of
my
children
,
kept
so
long
from
my
possession
by
the
power
of
the
Senate
sitting
at
Sardis
,
but
also
have
received
conjurations
by
these
Letters
from
my
wife
remaining
in
Syria
,
if
it
be
possible
so
farre
to
procure
my
own
information
concerning
their
particulars
,
that
I
may
give
her
a
true
account
both
of
their
comportment
and
education
,
whereby
the
better
to
satisfie
her
motherly
affection
,
and
naturall
inclination
:
when
the
King
had
ended
this
supplication
,
so
farre
(
as
I
may
say
)
beneath
his
dignity
,
though
consonant
in
some
sort
to
his
condition
,
Farezius
after
a
short
pause
returned
him
this
answer
.
Although
I
must
confesse
your
Majesties
desires
,
are
grounded
upon
all
the
principles
both
of
nature
and
morallity
,
yet
you
must
be
pleased
likewise
to
know
,
that
at
present
I
finde
my
owne
power
and
interest
so
farre
weakned
in
Sardis
,
by
the
prevailing
faction
of
the
Myssians
,
that
I
dare
not
be
over
consident
of
any
request
I
shall
make
in
your
behalfe
;
especially
for
that
I
am
neither
assured
to
continue
still
the
Senates
Generall
,
or
can
procure
those
Senators
to
be
punished
that
with
so
much
violence
,
exclaime
howerly
at
that
attempt
of
ours
concerning
your
releasement
:
but
neverthelesse
if
you
please
that
Creses
now
in
communication
with
you
,
may
be
imployed
as
a
messenger
to
demand
these
conditions
,
I
shall
procure
him
as
large
a
commisson
as
possibly
I
can
from
the
whole
Army
to
that
effect
,
and
being
denyed
by
the
Senate
any
of
our
just
desires
,
we
may
adde
your
authority
to
the
willingnesse
of
the
Souldiers
to
force
them
from
the
opposers
:
as
these
motions
were
quickly
imbraced
by
the
Kings
apprehension
and
consent
with
many
thankfull
expressions
,
so
Creses
wanted
neither
courage
nor
loyalty
to
take
upon
him
the
execution
to
the
best
advantage
both
for
Euarchus
service
and
the
armies
profit
.
When
Creses
arrived
at
Sardis
,
and
had
with
some
eloquence
and
more
judgement
delivered
his
message
,
being
againe
retired
for
about
halfe
an
houres
space
,
he
received
these
answers
to
every
particular
from
the
Senate
:
first
it
was
told
him
that
whereas
it
was
desired
,
the
Kings
children
might
not
only
performe
their
naturall
duty
to
their
father
by
a
speedy
visit
,
but
might
also
for
some
considerable
time
remaine
in
his
company
and
conversation
(
however
they
conceived
it
against
the
rules
of
State
policy
to
have
any
single
person
pleasured
before
the
publike
good
)
yet
that
Farezius
should
see
how
much
they
valued
his
request
,
the
Senate
had
determined
the
children
might
make
a
journey
to
that
effect
,
upon
assurance
given
for
their
safe
returne
after
some
few
dayes
of
saluation
:
againe
whereas
the
Generall
seemed
to
desire
a
continuation
of
his
power
and
command
under
the
Senates
authority
,
they
not
only
granted
him
his
owne
demand
,
but
wisht
Creses
to
assure
Farezius
,
that
as
they
had
never
any
intention
to
out
him
of
his
office
,
contrary
to
his
own
consent
,
so
would
they
ever
be
most
sensible
of
his
brave
and
gallant
services
:
but
for
the
proposition
that
concerned
the
accusation
of
some
of
their
fellow
Senators
,
they
conceived
it
a
derogation
to
the
high
places
they
held
in
the
Commonwealth
,
to
have
them
so
much
as
suspected
,
much
lesse
to
suffer
them
brought
as
guilty
Malefactors
before
another
Tribunall
then
their
own
,
being
persons
(
as
they
said
)
whom
they
had
found
most
true
and
faithfull
to
the
common
interest
:
Neverthelesse
they
condescendedby
way
of
perswasion
,
to
cause
them
voluntarily
to
leave
the
Kingdome
for
some
small
time
,
whereby
the
better
to
allay
the
rage
and
discontents
of
the
Souldiers
,
untill
they
could
be
fully
satisfied
in
their
endeavours
and
fidelities
;
these
answers
did
but
in
part
give
content
to
Creses
expectation
;
especially
for
that
the
Senate
seemed
,
not
only
as
he
conceived
,
to
put
on
a
kinde
of
more
then
ordinary
insolency
in
their
demeanors
,
but
withall
did
not
so
much
as
take
any
notice
at
all
of
Euarchus
dignity
,
or
that
they
intended
any
of
those
respects
for
his
sake
.
Though
Creses
with
a
great
deale
of
indignation
had
attended
their
deliberations
,
yet
he
was
content
with
some
humility
,
to
beg
leave
to
visit
the
Princesse
,
which
being
obtained
,
he
found
her
seated
in
a
melancholly
roome
,
that
had
no
more
light
bestowed
upon
it
,
then
what
was
meerely
necessary
,
for
the
performance
of
those
services
due
to
her
condition
,
her
person
being
shut
up
in
a
black
Couch
,
so
obscured
with
divers
Curtaines
,
that
scarce
could
her
rare
beauty
be
otherwise
discovered
,
then
as
the
faire
Moone
,
shaddowed
by
too
many
blacke
clowds
;
however
,
now
and
then
as
the
Princesse
moved
,
there
appeared
bright
and
gentile
rayes
of
those
perfections
,
which
could
not
be
altogether
hid
;
in
this
manner
being
admitted
to
kisse
her
white
hand
,
with
many
sighes
,
and
not
a
few
teares
,
she
asked
of
her
fathers
health
,
with
some
other
circumstances
;
but
the
uncompassionate
guard
would
not
suffer
her
to
be
so
punctuall
in
her
questions
as
she
desired
,
untill
at
last
Creses
was
separated
againe
from
her
presence
by
those
watchfull
spyes
,
that
had
the
neerest
custody
of
her
person
,
who
belike
as
guilty
men
,
feared
Treason
in
their
very
lookes
,
since
no
words
were
uttered
but
what
they
understood
;
so
that
he
was
conducted
to
the
Castle
gate
onely
by
Roxana's
ample
complements
,
instead
of
her
Mistresses
more
full
expressions
.
But
however
the
Senate
had
made
these
large
promises
during
Creses
his
presence
;
yet
afterward
upon
other
considerations
,
they
not
onely
denyed
the
Princesse
Cloria
accesse
to
her
father
,
being
unwilling
belike
to
hazzard
so
pretious
a
Jewell
out
of
their
custody
,
but
those
Senators
accused
of
Treason
,
with
the
City
of
Sardis
assistance
,
within
a
very
few
dayes
beset
the
Senate
house
with
multitudes
of
their
faction
,
not
onely
denying
to
stand
to
the
former
Orders
of
giving
Farezius
possession
of
the
Castle
of
the
Town
;
but
also
professing
,
not
to
consent
to
their
own
banishment
,
alledging
that
the
Generall
rather
deserved
to
be
punished
as
a
Traitor
;
for
having
made
so
unjust
and
insolent
a
demand
,
then
themselves
to
be
judged
for
any
crime
,
and
were
not
onely
liberall
in
their
language
,
but
caused
the
Senate
to
disannul
their
former
Decrees
.
The
news
of
this
inraged
multitude
was
quickly
brought
unto
the
knowledge
of
the
whole
Army
,
and
so
consequently
to
Farezins
,
who
after
he
had
for
some
houres
consulted
with
the
rest
of
the
Officers
,
resolved
to
march
towards
the
Walls
of
Sardis
;
where
after
a
short
siege
,
and
no
great
slaughter
,
the
proud
Inhabitants
yielded
absolutely
to
his
mercy
,
whilst
the
chief
Magistrates
of
the
City
,
issued
out
to
give
him
friendly
entertainment
,
finding
he
had
the
greater
party
in
the
Town
.
In
this
manner
,
with
a
most
magnificent
Triumph
,
they
brought
him
to
take
possession
of
that
command
,
that
before
with
some
obstinacy
they
had
refused
,
and
afterward
most
ceremoniously
conducted
him
to
the
very
Senate
,
in
which
place
he
was
received
with
new
honours
.
Cloria
having
notice
given
her
of
the
Generalls
intention
,
to
visit
her
,
began
to
consider
with
what
reception
she
should
entertain
his
presence
,
since
he
appeared
to
her
thoughts
not
onely
one
,
who
had
lately
conquered
the
whole
Kingdom
by
his
prosperity
;
but
seemed
at
the
present
to
graspe
the
very
fate
of
her
Father
,
and
therefore
believed
she
was
not
to
receive
him
in
her
accustomed
sad
posture
,
least
he
might
interpret
it
either
a
contempt
of
his
power
,
or
a
sorrow
for
his
fortune
;
so
that
she
commanded
her
Chamber
to
be
adorned
with
Hangings
of
green
Velvet
,
belonging
to
the
Kings
Wardrope
,
imbrodered
with
compartments
of
gold
,
wherein
was
wrought
the
severall
armories
of
her
ancestors
of
both
sides
,
divided
by
certain
colours
of
rich
cloth
of
Tissue
,
interwoven
with
such
variety
of
beautifull
flowers
,
that
it
seemed
the
Princess
had
placed
her self
in
a
delicious
Garden
,
to
give
Farezius
the
more
delightfull
welcome
;
which
was
increased
by
her
own
sweet
countenance
,
seated
upon
a
bed
of
the
same
Livery
:
though
the
infide
differed
in
invention
,
however
it
exceeded
in
curiosity
,
wherein
with
artificiall
needlework
,
was
designed
the
story
of
Venus
and
Adonis
with
that
lively
art
,
that
the
blushing
anger
appeared
in
the
boyes
cheeks
,
at
the
lascivious
carriage
of
the
Queen
of
Love
,
whilst
in
other
places
he
seemed
to
have
put
on
a
smiling
countenance
,
that
he
had
broke
from
her
forcible
imbracements
:
but
that
which
was
admirably
expressed
in
death
it self
,
accompanied
with
a
lively
sorrow
,
was
the
amazed
grief
of
the
Goddess
,
when
she
beheld
her
slaughtered
Servant
,
lying
in
his
own
blood
,
torn
with
the
rude
Tusks
of
the
salvage
Boor
,
and
his
dejected
followers
,
seemingly
confounded
at
the
object
:
Nor
was
it
little
less
pittifull
,
to
behold
his
poor
Doggs
here
and
there
dispersed
,
as
if
also
they
apprehended
their
own
losse
,
by
their
Masters
destruction
.
Over
the
Chimney
was
a
large
Picture
of
most
excellent
workmanship
,
wherein
was
set
forth
the
banishment
of
proud
Tarquin
,
by
his
enraged
Subjects
.
As
soon
as
Farezius
entred
the
room
,
he
pawsed
a
while
(
being
surprized
with
an
intire
amazement
)
before
he
approached
the
Princess
,
as
if
he
apprehended
some
fear
of
sacriledge
in
attempting
such
an
appearing
deity
;
but
being
invited
by
a
gentle
smile
,
that
afforded
not
onely
a
greater
encouragement
to
him
,
but
added
new
grace
,
to
her
own
beauty
,
he
advanced
with
slow
steps
to
perform
those
reverences
due
to
her
dignity
,
which
at
last
brought
him
to
that
distance
,
that
gave
her
conveniency
to
aske
him
concerning
her
Fathers
State
;
in
which
demand
she
put
on
such
a
look
,
that
shewed
she
desired
something
(
though
in
words
she
begged
nothing
)
that
easily
lay
within
his
power
to
grant
.
But
the
Gods
seemed
too
cruel
to
make
her
a
mendicant
,
whose
perfections
deserved
rather
to
have
sufficient
authority
to
command
all
hearts
:
However
,
the
Generall
,
as
if
at
the
present
he
understood
little
else
but
admiration
,
for
a
long
time
answered
not
her
questions
,
which
gave
occasion
to
Cloria
again
to
redouble
her
passion
,
with
other
interrogations
upon
the
same
subject
;
so
that
Farezius
at
last
breaking
through
his
amazement
,
told
her
that
he
was
in
as
prosperous
a
condition
,
as
the
unfortunate
affaires
of
the
Common-weale
would
permit
,
wherein
he
had
imployed
his
best
service
with
all
loyalty
.
This
answer
scarce
gave
satisfaction
to
the
Princess
,
since
she
conceived
Farezius
had
designed
his
whole
endeavours
for
the
present
establishment
of
the
King
in
his
ancient
dignity
;
and
therefore
turn'd
away
from
his
sight
with
a
few
gentle
teares
in
her
fair
eyes
;
which
being
perceived
by
the
Generall
,
he
humbly
besought
her
to
put
off
all
sadness
from
her
heart
,
for
that
he
did
not
doubt
,
but
prosperity
would
succeed
to
her
Father
,
according
to
his
merit
,
and
her
own
wishes
;
however
the
issue
as
he
said
,
must
be
attended
yet
with
some
patience
,
since
first
the
Souldiers
were
to
be
paid
,
who
had
spilt
their
blood
freely
for
the
liberty
of
their
Country
;
and
the
common
people
in
like
manner
must
be
satisfied
,
that
had
hitherto
paid
for
the
purchase
.
But
what
the
sweet
Cloria
would
have
answered
to
this
discourse
could
not
be
known
,
since
Farezius
occasions
call'd
him
suddenly
away
from
her
presence
into
the
City
,
not
so
much
to
receive
those
Triumphs
prepared
for
his
further
entertainment
,
as
to
procure
money
for
his
Army
.
Though
the
Generall
continued
some
violence
against
the
rich
Town
of
Sardis
in
imprisoning
their
chief
Officers
,
as
also
in
causing
those
Senators
which
he
had
formerly
accused
to
be
sent
into
banishment
,
yet
the
affaires
of
Euarchus
became
no
whit
more
amended
,
since
he
was
not
onely
still
detained
as
a
Prisoner
,
though
with
something
a
greater
liberty
and
freedom
,
but
the
Senate
was
permitted
to
press
his
patience
,
with
those
former
propositions
they
had
sent
by
A●gyllius
prejuditiall
to
his
Crown
,
and
in
truth
to
the
absolute
taking
away
of
all
his
royall
authority
;
which
gave
occasion
of
many
discourses
amongst
all
sorts
of
people
:
some
said
that
Farezius
was
in
love
with
the
Princess
Cloria
,
and
by
that
means
endeavoured
to
force
the
Kings
consent
to
the
mariage
,
whom
he
thought
else
could
not
be
brought
to
yield
to
such
unequall
Nuptialls
,
much
less
would
his
Daughter
be
won
to
give
up
her
person
to
those
disadvantages
,
who
had
been
courted
by
all
the
great
Princes
of
Asia
,
with
multitudes
of
glorious
offers
.
Others
again
believed
,
the
contrary
faction
began
to
prevail
,
and
had
by
some
means
either
bribed
Farezius
to
their
party
,
or
out-witted
his
designs
.
Neither
wanted
there
a
third
Company
that
imagined
,
the
people
grew
weary
of
their
own
sufferings
,
by
reason
of
the
Armies
free
quarter
,
suspecting
the
Generalls
power
&
intentions
only
to
make
himself
&
his
Souldiers
mighty
,
without
looking
upon
their
liberties
and
prosperity
.
For
a
testimony
of
which
as
they
supposed
,
the
Nobility
carried
the
chief
sway
in
the
Senate
House
,
contrary
to
their
desires
;
however
,
certain
Trybunes
were
chosen
in
the
Army
,
to
preferr
the
rights
of
the
ordinary
Souldiers
and
common
people
.
Whilst
these
thoughts
,
or
rather
fancies
were
tost
to
and
fro
,
almost
in
every
mans
bosom
;
for
that
the
whole
affairs
of
the
Kingdom
were
at
a
stand
,
and
Euarchus
seemingly
no
nearer
his
enlargement
then
the
first
day
he
was
imprisoned
;
nay
farther
off
in
most
opinions
:
Roxand
one
morning
,
according
to
her
custom
(
being
troubled
with
more
feares
than
ordinary
;
for
that
the
Princess
her
Mistriss
,
appeared
to
her
imagination
,
not
a
little
concerned
in
the
business
,
since
it
was
not
improbable
,
some
sparkles
of
love
joyned
with
Farezius
ambition
,
might
be
obstacles
against
the
Kings
prosperity
)
came
to
entertain
her self
,
within
certain
groves
belonging
to
the
Castle
,
which
were
ordered
into
many
delightfull
walks
,
that
here
and
there
crossed
one
another
,
for
the
more
conveniency
of
the
Company
,
that
should
frequent
them
for
recreation
;
where
long
she
had
not
remained
,
disputing
with
her
doubts
and
hopes
,
but
she
met
accidentally
with
Creses
,
who
seemed
to
be
there
with
the
same
intention
;
they
both
appeared
pleased
at
the
incounter
,
whereupon
Creses
quickly
asked
her
after
some
short
salutation
,
what
she
thought
of
the
strangeness
of
these
times
,
so
much
changed
contrary
to
both
their
expectations
,
when
as
they
looked
rather
for
the
King
to
have
been
royally
received
in
Sardis
,
then
to
have
been
still
continued
a
prisoner
,
much
less
to
be
pressed
with
new
propositions
,
dishonourable
to
his
person
,
and
destructive
to
his
authority
.
Truly
my
Lord
,
answered
Roxana
,
as
my
thoughts
are
in
a
Wood
about
the
actions
of
the
times
;
so
no
doubt
but
som
mystery
waits
upon
the
issue
,
however
I
must
confess
my
fears
outgoe
my
faith
,
in
any
good
they
mean
the
Kings
power
,
since
both
the
delayes
used
,
and
much
more
these
Articles
presented
,
are
no
good
Omens
to
Euarchus
prosperity
;
but
take
off
rather
that
glory
which
Farezius
should
have
obtained
to
himself
,
if
he
had
made
the
Kings
restoration
to
his
rights
,
his
first
and
chiefest
work
,
since
by
his
power
and
authority
,
the
rest
of
the
necessary
affairs
of
the
Kingdom
,
would
in
all
probability
have
been
better
and
surer
setled
,
when
they
should
have
carried
with
them
both
Law
and
Justice
.
You
are
in
the
right
Madam
said
Creses
,
wherefore
if
I
may
not
be
thought
over
tedious
to
your
patience
,
I
will
discourse
to
you
some
things
which
I
have
not
only
heard
from
the
Kings
own
mouth
,
when
I
last
waited
upon
him
;
but
other
observations
I
took
when
I
was
in
Syria
,
by
which
you
may
make
what
conjectures
you
please
.
So
taking
the
old
woman
by
the
hand
,
he
led
her
to
a
little
banquetting
house
,
not
far
off
for
the
more
privacy
;
where
,
after
they
were
both
seated
,
he
made
unto
her
this
Relation
.
Madam
said
he
,
first
you
must
understand
,
that
Euarchus
the
King
is
opposed
in
his
just
government
,
or
rather
legall
authority
,
by
four
factions
,
that
for
the
present
seek
to
undermine
one
another
,
all
having
absolutely
in
their
hearts
,
cast
off
their
obedience
to
the
Kings
Person
and
Prerogative
.
The
Senate
strives
with
violence
to
maintain
that
jurisdiction
,
it
hath
extorted
from
him
;
as
the
Mysians
endeavour
out
of
a
high
covetousness
,
to
be
sharers
in
the
Government
and
Riches
of
this
flourishing
Kingdom
.
Neither
wants
the
Army
pretentions
,
by
reason
of
the
service
they
have
done
in
the
late
Warres
,
to
claim
reward
and
subsistance
.
And
last
of
all
,
the
wealthy
City
of
Sardis
,
in
regard
it
hath
for
the
most
part
furnished
the
Souldiers
and
Councell
with
money
,
requires
to
be
made
a
free
Town
;
that
is
to
say
,
to
depend
upon
no
subjection
,
but
what
Magistrates
created
by
themselves
shall
prescribe
.
This
contention
of
all
sides
,
is
the
chief
occasion
as
't
is
thought
,
that
makes
every
thing
at
a
stand
,
whilst
in
the
mean
time
,
the
people
seem
to
cry
out
,
being
overburthened
with
oppressions
and
payments
,
which
in
the
end
certainly
cannot
but
turn
to
an
absolute
confusion
,
since
there
is
scarce
possibility
left
to
satisfie
all
parties
:
And
thus
much
shall
suffice
for
the
common
state
of
things
.
Now
concerning
the
proceedings
of
Syria
,
which
I
have
most
from
the
Kings
own
mouth
,
be
pleased
to
understand
,
that
when
he
was
forced
to
assemble
this
great
Councel
,
that
hath
proved
so
unfortunate
to
his
happiness
,
there
was
sent
into
Lydia
from
Philostros
an
Ambassador
,
as
Euarchus
imagined
for
his
consolation
and
assistance
,
against
the
violent
proceedings
of
his
Senate
;
but
presently
after
his
arrivall
,
he
was
so
far
from
complying
with
the
Kings
occasions
,
that
he
kept
a
frequent
correspondence
,
with
those
persons
that
seemed
most
to
oppose
his
authority
;
in
so
much
,
as
the
King
was
constrained
at
last
with
some
violence
,
not
only
to
forbid
him
any
longer
attendance
upon
his
person
;
but
earnestly
to
desire
the
State
of
Syria
,
to
recall
him
home
from
all
further
imployment
in
Lydia
,
which
setled
the
thoughts
of
Euarchus
in
some
quietness
,
whilst
his
own
victories
over
his
disobedient
subjects
,
and
the
death
both
of
Philostros
and
Orssames
,
gave
the
King
more
then
probable
hopes
of
a
finall
and
happy
successe
in
his
enterprize
,
which
was
againe
in
a
very
short
time
,
to
reduce
all
Lydia
under
his
lawfull
jurisdiction
:
but
belike
the
State
of
Syria
following
the
same
maximes
of
government
,
under
the
young
son
Orsames
had
left
behind
him
,
contrary
to
all
humane
expectation
,
sent
presently
after
the
death
of
Orsames
another
Ambassador
to
Euarchus
,
not
only
anew
to
invite
him
to
breake
the
League
which
he
still
continued
with
the
King
of
Aegypt
,
but
to
allow
his
contesting
Senate
to
be
a
lawfull
and
continued
Councell
by
his
absolute
approbation
;
thinking
belike
,
that
it
would
better
conduce
to
the
affaires
of
Syria
,
to
have
Euarchus
power
limitted
,
then
to
suffer
him
to
remaine
in
his
high
prerogative
:
but
these
demands
the
King
most
violently
and
disdainfully
refusing
,
the
Ambassador
not
only
with
some
seeming
discontent
took
his
leave
,
but
as
it
was
thought
invited
the
Myssians
againe
into
Lydia
,
which
hath
been
as
you
know
the
reason
of
Euarchus
overthrow
,
since
the
Senates
single
power
,
had
never
probably
prevailed
against
his
fortune
and
successe
;
however
,
the
businesse
did
not
yet
rest
;
for
after
the
King
had
notwithstanding
strugled
with
infinite
difficulties
,
to
make
good
still
his
declining
cause
(
his
son
Arethusius
Forces
also
being
destroyed
in
many
set
Battells
,
who
after
fled
into
Syria
to
the
Queen
his
Mother
)
Euarchus
was
forced
to
put
himselfe
under
the
protection
of
the
Myssians
Army
;
yet
with
so
little
benefit
to
his
affaires
,
that
in
a
short
time
after
he
was
delivered
in
person
into
his
enemies
hands
,
who
treated
him
with
all
manner
of
hardnesse
,
untill
the
Army
took
him
violently
from
that
jurisdiction
:
As
this
Madam
,
is
the
sad
particulars
I
can
relate
unto
you
,
of
the
Kings
misfortunes
and
captivity
,
so
may
you
very
well
make
conjecture
of
the
consequences
.
Roxana
after
she
had
thanked
him
for
his
discourse
,
wherein
as
she
said
,
he
had
made
her
acquainted
with
some
passages
,
she
never
understood
before
,
yet
he
should
oblige
her
much
more
if
he
would
be
pleased
to
deliver
his
opinion
,
what
might
be
the
intentions
of
the
Syrian
State
,
in
thus
desiring
to
lessen
,
or
rather
to
outward
apparence
to
overthrow
the
Monarchy
of
Lydia
,
since
the
example
seemed
of
a
dangerous
consequence
for
its
own
government
,
for
that
those
Subjects
might
also
fall
upon
the
like
pretences
.
Truly
answered
Creses
,
what
I
can
say
of
that
Theame
is
,
that
either
they
thinke
it
more
convenient
for
the
glory
of
Syria
,
to
reduce
all
Kingdomes
but
their
owne
,
into
Commonwealths
,
whereby
theirs
may
appeare
to
Asia
the
onely
Empire
:
or
they
have
an
intention
to
make
a
conquest
of
ours
,
by
reason
of
those
multitudes
of
divisions
,
they
see
arising
amongst
our selves
;
or
perhaps
they
ayme
to
set
up
Prince
Arethusius
in
his
fathers
Kingdome
,
because
he
is
of
the
Syrian
bloud
,
whereby
they
believe
they
shall
purchase
both
honour
and
friendship
.
But
if
I
thought
I
should
not
prove
over
harsh
in
my
unpollisht
language
,
whereby
too
much
to
injure
your
patience
by
my
tedious
relation
,
I
would
discover
yet
a
story
,
though
acted
long
time
since
,
that
in
my
opinion
,
hath
been
the
originall
of
the
sad
effects
of
this
last
Warre
:
it
will
prove
the
longer
,
in
regard
it
toucheth
the
proceedings
,
not
only
of
the
Kingdome
of
Lydia
,
but
the
Countries
of
Syria
and
Myssia
,
that
formerly
have
been
all
three
interwoven
in
dangers
,
slaughters
and
civill
broyles
,
by
the
spightfull
proceedings
,
and
factious
maximes
,
of
a
certaine
Priest
called
Herenzius
.
Roxana
glad
to
entertaine
any
conveniency
,
that
might
instruct
her
farther
,
in
the
Mysteries
of
these
unlucky
times
,
although
many
things
she
had
read
of
Herenzius
violent
spirit
,
told
Creses
,
that
as
no
language
proceeding
from
his
lips
,
could
prove
tedious
to
any
eare
how
ignorant
soever
;
so
did
she
not
doubt
,
but
the
consequence
of
the
present
affaires
,
required
rather
ample
stories
,
then
short
descriptions
,
which
gave
him
a
sufficient
warrant
to
use
his
own
pleasure
,
both
for
the
manner
and
matter
of
his
discourse
,
untill
his
endeavours
produced
this
following
relation
.
You
must
know
said
he
,
that
this
Priest
Herenzius
some
yeares
since
,
when
all
the
world
seemed
to
yeild
obedience
to
the
great
Flamine
of
Delphos
,
as
the
only
Oracle
upon
earth
to
prescribe
the
manner
of
the
worship
of
the
gods
,
suddenly
starred
up
in
the
Kingdome
of
Syria
,
who
by
reason
of
an
ignominious
punishment
he
had
undergone
(
as
t
was
reported
for
a
hainous
offence
committed
against
humane
and
divine
Lawes
)
began
violently
to
fall
out
with
heaven
and
earth
;
in
so
much
as
in
the
first
place
,
he
quarrelled
with
the
forme
of
the
service
to
the
Gods
then
used
;
and
in
the
latter
,
he
denyed
Kings
and
Princes
obedience
,
or
rather
loyalty
from
their
naturall
subjects
;
To
this
purpose
to
execute
his
malice
against
all
authority
,
because
he
had
suffered
by
it
;
and
withall
thinking
againe
in
some
sort
to
recover
his
lost
reputation
,
in
doing
notable
actions
,
how
wicked
soever
,
of
a
sudden
flew
to
a
certaine
Towne
upon
the
confines
of
Arabia
,
whose
people
had
newly
,
not
only
disobeyed
their
Flamine
but
cast
off
their
government
to
his
authority
,
which
quickly
gave
him
admittance
,
with
his
Doctrine
,
since
they
knew
his
opinions
suited
with
their
designes
;
yet
being
rather
friendly
entertained
,
then
perfectly
established
by
their
welcome
,
his
insolency
and
pride
in
a
short
time
,
banished
him
againe
from
the
City
,
seeing
he
could
not
shew
temper
in
his
first
entrance
;
and
so
remained
untill
the
feare
of
the
inhabitants
,
of
comming
once
more
under
their
old
government
,
for
that
they
understood
their
Prince
prepared
for
a
siege
,
constrained
them
,
not
onely
a
new
to
desire
his
company
,
whereby
to
be
assisted
by
his
Councell
,
but
were
forced
to
binde
themselves
by
a
solemne
oath
,
to
submit
absolutely
their
wills
to
his
institutions
:
with
these
conditions
he
became
fully
possessed
of
that
power
,
that
gave
him
opportunity
,
both
to
governe
as
he
pleased
,
and
instruct
as
he
listed
,
untill
he
had
fitted
all
their
thoughts
,
for
the
impressions
of
his
designes
by
the
eloquent
language
,
and
cunning
practices
he
used
,
which
in
a
short
time
so
prospered
,
that
many
disciples
were
found
of
such
towardly
dispositions
,
instructed
by
his
principles
,
that
he
sent
many
of
them
also
into
other
Countries
,
to
poyson
the
peoples
loyalties
,
since
obedience
is
the
most
assured
tye
,
that
probably
warrants
the
safety
and
prosperity
of
Kingdomes
.
But
these
men
having
as
I
said
,
taken
their
journeyes
with
these
intentions
,
the
first
prevailing
progresse
they
made
,
was
in
the
Countrey
of
Myssia
,
where
finding
some
discontents
already
ingendring
between
the
young
Queen
then
raigning
grandmother
to
Euarchus
:
and
some
factious
and
ambitious
Nobility
,
soon
introduced
their
new
and
dangerous
opinions
,
into
the
hearts
of
the
common
people
,
by
which
meanes
the
Lords
became
also
so
powerfull
by
their
assistance
,
that
the
poore
Princesse
in
a
short
space
,
was
forced
to
quit
both
her
Kingdome
and
Life
,
a
Tragedy
too
pittifull
now
to
be
related
,
whilst
the
Rebells
took
possession
of
her
authority
,
from
which
usurpation
proceedes
Lydia's
miseries
,
since
by
a
continuance
of
the
same
desires
in
those
people
towards
her
posterity
,
they
have
now
filled
this
Kingdome
with
tumults
,
troubles
,
and
bloud
,
the
better
to
make
good
their
own
jurisdictions
so
unlawfully
purchased
in
former
times
:
but
however
,
these
opinions
of
deposing
of
Kings
,
and
aldering
the
worship
of
the
gods
,
prevailed
entirely
in
Myssia
,
by
reason
of
those
crafty
and
factious
actors
that
Herezius
had
sent
;
yet
his
Doctrine
found
not
so
ready
acceptance
in
the
Kingdome
of
Lydia
,
for
that
the
Queen
then
raigning
,
endeavoured
against
the
violence
of
all
their
endeavours
,
both
to
conserve
Monarchy
,
and
maintaine
their
Flamines
,
though
the
State
altered
many
Tenents
in
Doctrine
,
untill
the
late
agreements
of
each
Nation
to
oppose
Euarchus
in
the
same
designe
,
contrived
an
accord
to
extirpate
in
effect
both
King
and
Flamines
:
This
may
passe
my
discourse
of
the
Kingdome
of
Syria
,
that
hath
not
only
formerly
borne
part
in
the
suffering
,
by
reason
of
these
opinions
sowed
in
the
world
,
but
hath
been
a
principall
occasion
to
give
the
Myssians
protection
,
by
whose
power
Euarchus
hath
been
chiefely
destroyed
.
To
which
purpose
you
must
understand
,
that
although
Herezius
other
messengers
,
could
not
so
easily
beate
downe
the
strong
Walles
of
Monarchy
,
established
by
so
many
ages
in
Syria
,
against
the
power
of
great
Armies
alwayes
kept
in
pay
by
that
Nation
,
yet
oftentimes
they
filled
the
whole
Kingdome
with
most
lamentable
slaughters
,
to
gaine
enterance
for
their
opinions
,
and
freedome
for
their
Doctrine
;
in
so
much
as
the
Prince
himselfe
then
governing
,
finding
the
Temples
overthrowne
,
his
Countrey
spoyled
,
and
his
Subjects
destroyed
by
the
fury
of
the
contention
,
was
forced
at
last
,
so
farre
to
give
way
to
the
Herezians
religion
in
Syria
,
that
they
had
not
only
granted
them
,
a
free
exercise
of
their
consciences
throughout
all
his
dominions
,
but
many
fortified
Townes
were
delivered
into
their
hands
;
wherein
they
put
their
owne
Garrisons
,
to
secure
better
this
agreement
,
which
both
afforded
him
peace
,
and
seemed
to
give
them
satisfaction
for
the
present
:
however
,
every
yeare
almost
after
notwithstanding
these
benefits
,
produced
new
stirres
by
that
faction
,
to
the
disquieting
of
the
Kingdome
,
that
gave
sufficient
cause
of
vexation
to
many
good
Princes
,
since
they
could
not
be
assured
of
the
loyalty
of
their
obliged
Subjects
,
nor
of
the
continuation
of
their
owne
prosperities
,
when
neither
graces
could
win
them
by
reason
of
the
spleen
they
bore
to
Monarchy
,
or
power
could
compell
them
in
regard
of
those
Forts
they
had
in
their
custody
.
But
to
be
short
,
before
the
great
and
wise
Favourite
Philostros
,
durst
take
upon
him
the
huge
worke
he
intended
,
which
was
to
suppresse
the
gloriousnesse
of
the
Aegyptian
Empire
,
he
imagined
he
could
not
be
absolutely
safe
at
home
,
and
so
consequently
not
fitted
for
so
large
a
conquest
,
as
long
as
he
should
leave
behind
him
in
his
own
bosome
,
so
eminent
a
danger
as
those
he
esteemed
lawlesse
Subjects
in
Orsames
Kingdome
,
knowing
they
would
upon
all
occasions
,
be
ready
to
joyne
with
forraigne
Forces
,
to
overthrow
their
owne
Kings
government
,
and
therefore
resolved
first
,
before
he
undertooke
any
new
designe
,
to
subdue
their
power
,
to
the
absolute
obedience
of
his
great
Masters
jurisdiction
,
as
in
times
past
it
had
been
to
some
of
his
predecessors
;
to
which
purpose
he
not
only
suddenly
besieged
the
strongest
Towne
they
had
in
Syria
,
but
within
a
short
space
,
left
them
never
a
Fort
in
the
whole
Kingdome
,
that
was
not
constrained
to
deliver
up
the
Keyes
of
its
Gates
,
to
the
will
and
pleasure
of
fortunate
Orsames
,
who
began
to
grow
great
in
the
opinion
of
the
world
,
by
the
conquest
of
his
own
Subjects
,
that
were
accustomed
to
give
sufficient
imployment
to
other
Kings
.
However
,
after
that
Philostros
had
made
this
speedy
progresse
in
glory
,
as
well
as
in
security
for
his
Masters
;
parant
advantage
,
both
in
quietting
his
Subjects
at
home
,
and
terrifying
his
enemies
abroad
,
which
proved
mighty
advantages
for
those
designes
he
had
contrived
in
his
politick
braine
,
because
it
was
not
convenient
,
and
scarce
safe
to
continue
desperate
discontents
in
so
dangerous
a
body
,
that
had
vastly
spread
it selfe
thorough
most
Countries
in
Asia
,
whilst
his
thoughts
and
endeavours
were
otherwise
to
be
imployed
;
he
began
by
little
and
little
,
to
smooth
his
brow
towards
that
sect
,
and
at
last
not
only
assured
them
of
his
absolute
forgetting
all
faults
past
,
but
made
many
of
them
chiefe
officers
and
commanders
in
that
Army
Orsames
provided
,
to
goe
against
the
Aegyptian
Forces
,
wherein
he
craftily
procured
a
double
commodity
to
his
affaires
,
the
one
in
winning
a
party
he
had
good
cause
to
suspect
,
and
the
other
in
rendring
them
ingaged
in
the
quarrell
,
he
intended
against
Sorastros
;
besides
he
was
most
assured
,
that
they
would
fight
with
spleen
against
that
religion
by
nature
they
most
hated
,
since
the
Aegyptians
of
all
others
were
held
obsequious
to
the
rights
and
ceremonies
of
Delphos
,
which
also
was
a
meanes
to
binde
the
Myssians
to
the
affaires
of
Syria
,
since
no
Nation
or
people
in
Asia
,
professed
more
violently
the
same
worship
of
the
gods
introduced
by
Horenzius
,
and
exercised
by
his
followers
in
Orsames
dominions
,
which
were
not
onely
reasons
to
tye
Philostros
to
that
sect
,
by
all
the
favours
he
could
procure
it
in
his
own
Country
,
whereby
to
make
them
serviceable
in
the
Warres
,
he
had
with
Sorastros
,
but
by
that
meanes
gave
countenance
to
the
Myssians
against
Euarchus
:
their
lawfull
Prince
;
which
by
consequence
afforded
the
Senate
of
Lydia
conveniency
also
to
suppresse
his
power
,
that
they
might
not
seeme
to
goe
lesse
in
jurisdiction
in
mastering
their
King
,
then
those
people
they
had
bought
with
their
money
,
onely
to
doe
them
service
,
so
that
by
this
meanes
the
Favourite
gave
worke
enough
at
home
to
Euarchus
,
that
he
should
not
have
the
opportunity
,
although
he
might
have
the
wil
to
assist
the
King
of
Aegypt
,
which
the
pollicy
of
every
Nation
requires
according
to
some
opinions
,
when
a
Prince
is
not
able
to
make
good
his
party
against
another
prevailing
Monarch
.
This
Madam
as
I
say
,
hath
been
the
fate
of
these
mighty
Kingdomes
,
only
troubled
by
the
cunning
industry
of
one
factious
and
ambitious
Priest
,
as
if
the
Gods
had
sent
him
into
the
world
to
let
man
see
his
owne
frailty
;
and
the
rather
for
that
Euarchus
not
many
yeares
agoe
,
appeared
so
glorious
and
fortunate
in
his
government
,
crowned
with
a
flourishing
prosperity
,
in
wife
,
children
,
peace
,
and
power
,
that
he
was
not
only
the
absolute
envy
of
all
Asia
,
but
seemed
to
carry
in
his
hand
the
arbitration
of
the
world
;
being
now
cast
downe
into
so
low
,
and
I
may
call
it
miserable
condition
,
by
a
little
faction
of
his
own
people
,
that
he
is
not
only
denyed
to
be
a
King
,
but
deprived
of
the
comfort
of
all
that
ever
was
his
,
with
an
addition
of
a
sharpe
and
lasting
captivity
,
according
to
the
discretion
sometimes
of
his
meanest
Subjects
;
whilst
in
the
interim
,
honour
,
love
,
justice
,
and
gratitude
seeme
to
be
laid
a
sleep
in
the
deep
Center
of
the
earth
,
other
Princes
only
watching
to
their
own
preposterous
spleen
,
not
considering
how
soon
it
may
be
their
fortunes
,
to
fall
under
the
same
Fate
,
for
that
all
men
naturally
covet
liberty
;
with
these
words
he
rested
silent
with
his
armes
acrosse
,
as
if
yet
his
imagination
,
went
higher
then
his
tongue
was
able
to
expresse
.
This
discourse
gave
the
old
woman
also
some
leasure
to
shed
a
few
teares
,
in
considering
the
Kings
misfortunes
,
But
as
he
was
proceeding
farther
,
they
were
both
interrupted
by
the
sudden
arrivall
of
the
little
dwarfe
,
who
told
Roxana
,
that
he
had
been
a
long
time
searching
her
all
over
the
Parke
,
to
informe
her
,
that
the
Princesse
was
newly
descended
into
the
garden
to
take
some
recreation
before
dinner
,
and
desired
earnestly
her
company
,
to
impart
something
of
consequence
to
her
knowledge
;
This
gave
Roxana
no
more
opportunity
,
then
civilly
to
thanke
Creses
for
those
informations
he
had
given
her
,
professing
againe
she
was
instructed
in
many
things
she
had
never
heard
before
,
that
might
afford
light
as
she
said
,
to
her
comportment
and
conversation
,
since
she
was
daily
to
dispute
with
some
enemy
or
other
in
Euarchus
quarrell
;
and
withall
desired
him
he
would
be
pleased
,
to
put
on
a
resolution
often
to
accompany
her
in
that
place
,
not
only
for
her
better
information
,
but
for
her
Mistresses
consolation
,
which
you
may
be
sure
was
a
tickling
motive
to
invite
Creses
to
the
service
,
being
perswaded
,
the
Princesse
should
partake
of
his
discourse
;
and
love
speakes
the
most
effectuall
language
,
though
it
want
never
so
much
probability
to
enjoy
,
Roxana
when
she
came
into
the
Garden
,
shee
found
the
Princesse
retired
into
a
close
walk
,
defended
by
interwoven
branches
of
green
leaves
from
the
Sunnes
oppression
,
which
also
obscured
her
in
some
sort
from
the
fight
of
her
attendants
;
so
that
the
old
woman
had
occasion
given
her
by
that
retirement
,
to
believe
new
accidents
had
caused
the
solitude
:
Wherefore
approaching
at
a
neerer
distance
,
she
might
perceive
a
paper
in
Clorias
hand
,
whilst
she
stood
still
lifting
up
her
faire
eyes
to
the
heavens
,
then
againe
cast
them
downe
upon
the
ground
,
and
in
this
posture
advanced
two
or
three
steps
,
with
a
kinde
of
a
violent
motion
;
this
continued
Roxana
the
longer
before
she
discovered
her
being
there
,
untill
the
Princesse
turning
that
way
,
she
was
necessarily
invited
to
present
her selfe
;
however
she
had
not
come
neere
her
by
a
few
paces
,
but
Cloria
with
a
deepe
sigh
,
instead
of
other
expressions
,
cast
her
the
paper
she
held
,
which
the
old
woman
presently
reading
,
found
it
spake
this
matter
:
MAdam
,
As
I
should
not
for
a
long
season
,
have
omitted
those
services
due
to
your
person
by
many
visits
,
that
my
love
and
your
vertues
required
,
if
the
distempers
of
these
times
,
had
not
proved
prohibitions
beyond
my
ability
to
resist
,
since
I
durst
not
contend
with
the
power
of
the
Generall
,
whose
will
I
found
absolutely
obeyed
:
so
now
having
an
unexpected
occasion
to
give
you
advertisement
,
I
cannot
againe
but
present
my
deere
affections
to
your
sacred
selfe
,
hoping
that
my
former
love
is
not
altogether
out
of
your
remembrance
,
not
onely
since
the
Senate
begins
anew
to
possesse
themselves
of
their
ancient
authority
,
but
that
the
King
your
father
is
lately
fled
from
the
protection
of
the
Army
,
though
by
whose
meanes
,
or
to
what
region
cannot
yet
be
learned
by
any
examination
.
Your
most
humble
Servant
,
and
faithfull
Lover
,
CASSIANUS
.
Roxana
after
she
had
read
the
Letter
,
stood
still
sometime
in
a
Muse
,
untill
at
last
passionately
she
broake
out
into
these
words
:
Truly
Madam
said
she
,
as
I
cannot
but
smile
at
the
former
part
of
the
writing
,
so
must
I
needs
wonder
at
the
latter
,
since
it
seemeth
as
preposterous
,
Prince
Cassianus
should
after
a
long
silence
,
attempt
your
love
,
when
hee
remained
quiet
during
the
Generals
supposed
greatnesse
,
as
it
appeares
stranger
to
my
thoughts
,
the
King
hath
now
removed
his
Quarters
,
when
he
was
supposed
secure
in
Farezius
protection
.
But
alasse
said
Cloria
,
I
rather
marvell
whither
my
Father
can
possibly
be
fled
to
purchase
more
hopes
,
for
that
all
the
Kingdome
is
probably
out
of
his
jurisdiction
;
therefore
I
should
be
glad
to
flatter
my selfe
with
some
opinions
,
that
the
designe
was
undertaken
upon
good
grounds
.
As
I
cannot
promise
that
answered
Roxana
,
yet
certainly
the
King
being
so
wise
,
would
never
have
ventured
upon
such
a
dangerous
attempt
,
without
long
consideration
and
assured
friends
to
conduct
him
to
his
journeyes
end
;
but
if
I
may
rove
according
to
my
wilde
imagination
,
either
he
is
gone
into
Syria
,
since
I
cannot
believe
he
would
any
more
trust
his
person
with
the
Myssians
,
who
have
divers
times
deceived
him
:
or
is
invited
into
Creet
by
his
Subjects
there
in
Armes
against
the
Senate
,
the
better
to
make
good
their
cause
against
the
new
Lydian
Forces
,
preparing
to
bring
them
speedily
under
subjection
.
The
gods
will
be
done
said
the
poore
Princesse
,
but
I
feare
the
worst
;
These
discourses
brought
them
to
the
rest
of
the
company
in
the
Garden
,
to
make
them
also
sharers
of
the
unexpected
newes
.
Roxana
the
next
morning
had
scarce
leasure
given
her
to
welcome
the
day
,
when
she
was
advertised
by
a
messenger
sent
from
Creses
,
that
within
two
houres
space
,
he
would
attend
her
if
she
pleased
,
at
the
banquetting
house
amongst
the
Woods
,
not
only
to
finish
out
the
rest
of
their
discourse
,
but
also
to
let
her
know
other
passages
worth
her
acceptance
.
The
old
Matron
conceiving
,
it
was
some
intelligence
more
particular
concerning
the
Kings
departure
,
sent
him
thanks
,
and
promised
with
all
diligence
to
wait
upon
the
summons
,
which
she
performed
a
pretty
while
before
Creses
arrivall
,
that
gave
her
opportunity
to
examine
her
own
imagination
;
but
it
was
not
long
before
she
was
interrupted
by
his
appearance
,
which
with
a
few
ceremonies
seated
them
both
together
as
the
day
before
,
whilst
Creses
used
this
language
.
Though
I
may
suppose
(
said
he
)
you
have
heard
something
of
the
Kings
departure
from
under
the
protection
of
the
Army
;
yet
perhaps
you
have
not
as
yet
been
enformed
of
the
reasons
and
particulars
of
his
retirement
;
or
rather
I
may
call
it
an
escape
,
since
he
was
perswaded
it
would
be
for
his
better
safty
:
Roxana
confessing
,
she
knew
nothing
of
the
manner
much
lesse
the
cause
,
though
common
fame
had
brought
the
report
to
her
eares
;
Creses
gave
her
this
farther
account
of
the
passage
,
according
to
the
relation
he
had
from
an
officer
intrusted
in
the
service
as
he
said
.
The
King
said
he
,
being
not
only
suspitious
of
the
security
of
his
person
,
by
reason
of
the
many
divisions
of
opinion
in
the
Campe
;
some
desiring
a
Prince
,
others
none
;
especially
considering
the
diversity
of
humours
amongst
the
common
Souldiers
,
who
generally
laboured
for
an
universall
equality
,
as
also
being
credibly
enformed
that
unlesse
he
would
presently
condescend
to
those
propositions
formerly
sent
unto
him
,
with
the
addition
of
some
priviledges
demanded
that
were
more
destructive
to
his
Crowne
and
dignity
,
he
should
infallibly
be
murthered
,
he
was
constrained
to
this
sudden
retirement
:
however
I
must
tell
you
these
rumours
were
given
out
as
't
was
believed
,
only
to
fright
him
to
seek
another
station
,
where
he
might
be
againe
imprisoned
with
some
colour
and
better
security
,
as
pretending
his
intention
was
to
escape
out
of
the
Armies
jurisdiction
and
power
:
so
that
the
poore
King
finding
causes
enough
for
a
suspition
,
acquainted
two
of
his
servants
both
with
his
feares
and
intentions
,
who
to
be
short
,
perswaded
him
to
fly
to
an
Island
upon
the
borders
of
Caria
,
where
remaines
as
governour
a
valiant
commander
,
though
formerly
imployed
by
the
Senate
,
yet
at
the
present
was
conceived
to
be
wholly
at
the
dispose
of
Farezius
and
the
Army
:
this
Captaine
they
assured
him
would
be
entirely
faithfull
to
his
designes
,
though
upon
what
grounds
I
can
neither
informe
you
or
satisfie
my selfe
,
since
the
consequence
proved
otherwise
:
for
no
sooner
was
the
King
arrived
under
his
jurisdiction
,
but
he
entertained
him
not
only
with
a
sad
and
sowre
countenance
,
but
after
he
had
secured
his
person
in
the
Castle
,
and
sent
away
his
two
officers
,
he
presently
gave
information
to
the
Senate
of
all
the
proceedings
,
desiring
further
directions
in
what
manner
he
should
be
treated
;
though
he
carries
still
in
his
demeanour
,
a
kinde
of
a
reverence
to
his
dignity
:
all
these
passages
as
I
told
you
before
,
I
have
from
one
of
those
persons
newly
returned
,
that
accompanied
him
in
the
journey
,
with
this
advertizement
also
that
before
the
Kings
departure
from
the
Campe
,
he
left
in
his
chamber
under
his
own
hand
,
the
reason
of
his
feares
and
his
escape
:
all
which
Madam
I
may
say
is
in
such
a
mist
,
that
no
lesse
a
knowledge
then
some
divine
Oracle
can
informe
us
concerning
the
certainty
of
the
mystery
:
only
we
may
be
confident
that
Euarchus
hath
imployment
enough
for
his
courage
and
patience
:
At
these
words
Roxana
wept
againe
with
the
very
sence
of
the
Kings
dangers
and
miseries
:
Nay
said
Creses
,
his
suffering
of
all
sides
are
so
extreame
,
that
notwithstanding
he
hath
sent
to
Farezius
and
offered
to
accord
every
difference
and
interest
in
the
Kingdome
,
being
heard
;
yet
neither
the
Generall
nor
Senate
will
entertaine
the
motion
,
or
allow
him
that
priviledge
,
fearing
belike
he
should
speak
too
much
reason
to
render
his
Subjects
satisfied
,
whereby
they
might
be
endangered
to
lose
that
authority
which
now
they
possesse
without
contradiction
.
But
said
Roxana
,
why
doe
the
common
people
desire
violently
no
King
,
since
Euarchus
shewes
such
testimonies
of
his
goodnesse
?
Truly
said
Creses
,
as
that
opinion
in
the
Generall
is
erronious
,
since
all
be
not
of
that
faction
,
so
of
the
other
side
,
there
be
too
many
that
wish
an
universall
equality
,
not
considering
the
confusion
it
would
bring
upon
the
whole
Kingdome
,
being
as
it
were
bewitched
with
an
ignorant
pride
;
for
most
of
them
by
such
a
parity
,
would
be
in
more
slavery
then
they
are
now
,
since
they
could
never
be
capable
of
any
command
,
and
necessarily
must
obey
those
that
would
governe
with
more
rigour
,
though
elected
from
amongst
themselves
:
besides
they
are
now
so
weary
of
the
Senates
rule
in
the
same
posture
,
having
had
some
experience
of
their
managing
affaires
hitherto
,
that
they
believe
their
owne
cure
can
proceed
from
nothing
but
desperate
change
,
which
is
incident
to
all
distempered
minds
;
since
they
that
could
not
be
well
under
Euarchus
peaceable
government
,
wherein
they
enjoyed
all
wealth
and
prosperity
(
though
no
doubt
but
there
was
some
abuses
)
certainly
now
will
not
rest
satisfied
when
they
shall
feele
nothing
but
want
,
oppression
,
and
instability
;
besides
many
feare
that
things
are
not
yet
at
the
worst
,
when
so
many
contrary
interests
with
violence
seeme
to
contend
.
These
discourses
brought
them
both
at
last
in
dispute
,
whether
active
valour
,
or
passive
courage
were
the
greater
vertue
,
in
that
Euarchus
seemed
to
possesse
them
in
a
high
kinde
.
But
Creses
who
had
a
dainty
wit
,
defended
the
latter
with
these
arguments
:
first
said
he
,
before
we
can
well
consider
what
hath
been
the
Kings
sufferances
,
we
must
rightly
state
his
misfortunes
,
which
will
appeare
to
be
the
greater
,
when
it
is
well
knowne
to
the
world
,
he
hath
alwayes
shewed
courage
in
the
Warres
,
by
venturing
boldly
his
person
upon
all
occasions
,
as
also
eloquence
and
judgement
both
by
his
Pen
and
language
,
when
those
faculties
of
Art
and
Nature
were
thought
necessary
and
usefull
;
a
plaine
demonstration
that
he
wants
not
sense
and
knowledge
fully
to
apprehend
his
own
oppressions
:
and
the
rather
may
it
be
so
thought
,
for
that
those
who
have
most
gaiued
by
his
favours
,
the
ungratefull
Myssians
,
with
some
others
of
his
owne
Court
,
have
been
the
chiefe
Instruments
,
or
rather
I
may
say
the
only
cause
that
have
deprived
him
not
only
of
the
priviledge
of
his
royall
Crowne
,
but
of
all
the
personall
happinesses
he
enjoyed
in
his
prosperity
;
besides
his
want
of
liberty
now
at
last
to
make
up
the
full
Catastrophe
of
his
misery
,
none
almost
giving
eare
to
his
complaints
,
or
pittying
his
captivity
:
though
they
have
separated
him
from
his
beloved
Queene
,
in
whose
beauty
and
vertues
he
took
an
unspeakable
felicity
,
as
also
the
comfort
of
beholding
his
sweet
children
,
being
a
reall
part
of
himselfe
,
which
the
gods
and
nature
have
ordained
to
man
as
a
humane
right
;
accompanied
with
the
detention
of
his
revenues
that
should
maintaine
him
and
them
:
besides
prosecuting
him
with
as
many
slanders
as
they
can
invent
.
This
Madam
as
it
may
be
supposed
,
being
the
true
condition
of
Euarchus
misfortune
,
it
may
easily
be
conjectured
,
his
sufferings
are
equall
,
if
not
goe
beyond
example
,
and
yet
his
noble
heart
holds
out
still
to
endure
as
you
see
,
what
malice
can
invent
without
breaking
;
who
notwithstanding
offers
love
,
mercy
and
patience
to
his
whole
Kingdome
and
worst
injurers
:
things
being
in
this
posture
I
shall
proceed
to
the
making
good
of
my
promised
argument
;
which
is
,
that
passive
courage
is
a
greater
vertue
then
active
valour
;
if
my
discourses
doe
not
seeme
too
tedious
for
your
more
necessary
imployment
.
As
I
must
call
the
Kings
constancy
a
noble
fortitude
,
since
he
hath
neither
Subject
of
hope
,
nor
object
of
diversion
,
so
certainly
is
it
the
highest
magnanimity
for
a
Prince
to
suffer
patiently
and
without
confusion
from
his
own
Subjects
that
owe
him
duty
and
gratitude
;
for
those
men
that
hazzard
their
lives
freely
in
desperate
services
,
either
ayme
at
victory
or
conquest
,
by
which
they
intend
to
purchase
gaine
or
glory
,
which
enflames
their
blouds
with
continuall
agitation
,
that
scarce
gives
leasure
to
reflect
upon
the
dangers
,
much
lesse
time
for
cold
and
apprehensive
consideration
;
and
yet
we
see
such
have
for
the
most
part
need
of
noyse
of
drums
and
sound
of
Trumpets
to
waken
their
courages
,
or
lay
asleep
their
feares
,
to
continue
them
better
in
action
,
whereas
suffering
hath
nothing
to
helpe
or
comfort
it
,
since
the
minde
is
still
prepared
to
entertaine
the
misery
it
sustaineth
,
with
a
pale
expectation
of
the
same
or
worse
,
when
as
I
say
it
is
known
it
must
be
endured
without
hope
,
having
no
diversion
:
like
a
person
sick
in
the
night
,
wanting
objects
of
variety
,
thinks
that
season
longer
and
his
torment
greater
by
much
then
in
the
day
time
;
for
where
the
minde
is
kept
high
by
ambition
to
compasse
something
it
coveteth
,
it
hath
power
enough
in
that
interim
to
hold
up
the
body
from
falling
to
its
proper
center
the
earth
,
where
naturally
it
inclines
:
but
being
without
comfort
,
if
a
man
doe
not
make
strong
use
of
his
noble
part
his
soul
,
to
maintaine
his
courage
and
resolution
,
the
suffering
or
captivating
of
flesh
and
bloud
,
will
render
a
man
quickly
totally
overcome
,
and
that
is
the
reason
that
long
and
tedious
persecutions
have
destroyed
more
competent
spirits
,
then
sharp
and
violent
tortures
,
since
they
were
prepared
for
the
one
with
expectation
,
and
only
weared
by
the
other
with
continuance
.
We
know
that
old
men
strive
more
greedily
to
preserve
their
lives
that
short
time
they
are
to
live
,
then
young
men
in
their
most
flourishing
yeares
;
because
diversity
of
prospects
operates
so
much
in
youthfull
bosomes
,
by
reason
of
continuall
activity
,
tending
that
way
,
that
they
have
not
leasure
to
settle
their
imaginations
upon
horrid
apprehension
;
when
old
people
have
so
much
time
to
think
(
wanting
power
of
action
)
that
the
object
which
is
naturall
appeares
often
before
their
eyes
to
fright
them
,
and
so
fares
it
with
a
person
that
only
suffers
,
in
comparison
of
him
that
doth
both
suffer
and
act
together
:
wherefore
that
person
hath
need
of
a
double
courage
,
because
there
is
nothing
to
accompany
his
thoughts
of
variety
or
diversion
;
for
certainly
it
pleaseth
a
man
rather
to
contend
for
his
life
,
though
he
know
he
shall
be
deprived
of
it
,
then
to
lose
it
without
any
strife
at
all
;
which
seemes
to
be
the
case
of
Euarchus
,
since
they
will
not
so
much
as
permit
him
with
reason
to
dispute
his
rights
,
but
force
him
unheard
to
deliver
up
his
Crowne
:
and
more
grievous
a
great
deale
is
his
condition
,
in
that
he
appeares
to
be
left
of
all
those
friends
that
have
been
most
obliged
to
his
goodnesse
.
What
is
the
reason
that
a
delinquent
upon
the
Scaffold
is
accustomed
to
have
his
eyes
banded
before
the
stroake
of
death
,
to
take
away
from
him
the
apprehension
of
the
blow
which
he
knowes
he
shall
receive
?
When
a
valiant
Souldier
in
the
Field
without
shaddow
will
charge
against
a
thousand
weapons
,
with
as
much
certainty
of
destruction
,
but
because
the
ones
action
frees
him
from
the
others
terrour
:
All
which
shew
,
that
a
sad
expectation
of
an
ill
,
augments
the
suffering
,
when
a
diversion
by
imployment
of
the
body
,
or
busying
the
senses
by
diversity
of
objects
,
take
away
that
apprehension
that
makes
any
danger
or
misery
excessively
horrid
;
as
for
example
,
men
for
the
most
part
are
put
to
torture
in
uncouth
places
,
where
there
is
nothing
but
silence
,
or
low
whispers
,
to
render
the
sufferer
more
sensible
of
the
paine
,
by
the
quieting
of
the
imagination
;
and
so
it
fares
with
such
as
passe
through
darke
places
,
being
afraid
of
every
small
rustle
,
when
in
the
day
time
,
the
same
way
perhaps
is
pleasant
;
so
that
as
I
say
without
doubt
,
all
smart
,
griefe
,
and
discontent
is
encreased
by
want
of
action
and
too
much
leasure
for
consideration
;
for
I
must
conclude
,
that
it
is
a
great
deale
easier
for
a
person
to
dye
fighting
in
the
Field
,
though
he
should
be
cut
in
sunder
in
a
thousand
pieces
,
then
to
endure
a
long
and
tedious
captivity
,
which
is
Euarchus
present
condition
;
in
so
much
as
at
last
if
he
should
in
some
sort
yield
to
this
cruelty
,
I
must
not
finde
fault
with
his
courage
,
but
if
he
gaine
the
victory
,
I
shall
esteeme
him
a
miracle
of
nature
.
As
I
must
not
said
Roxana
,
goe
about
to
disprove
your
arguments
grounded
upon
such
reasons
,
and
more
delivered
by
the
knowne
authority
of
your
excellent
judgement
,
so
of
the
other
fide
,
I
could
wish
the
King
had
some
Counsell
to
assist
him
in
these
difficulties
besides
his
own
capacity
and
courage
,
since
it
is
impossible
but
humane
nature
at
the
length
will
be
tired
with
over
much
suffering
,
and
by
consequence
faile
for
want
of
true
information
:
there
is
no
contradiction
of
your
opinion
said
Creses
,
but
such
is
the
crafty
spight
of
some
,
that
they
will
permit
none
to
be
about
the
Kings
person
that
dares
loyally
afford
him
any
profitable
consolation
,
because
they
may
the
sooner
bring
him
to
consent
to
their
desires
:
Yet
replyed
Roxana
,
it
is
not
well
known
what
those
desires
are
,
since
they
never
durst
for
all
I
could
ever
learne
,
publickly
declare
their
intentions
,
but
doe
as
it
were
in
a
dark
mist
endeavour
to
possesse
the
people
,
that
the
King
refuseth
something
he
is
obliged
to
grant
for
the
good
of
his
Subjects
;
by
which
meanes
they
strive
still
to
maintaine
their
credits
and
opinions
amongst
the
common
sort
.
It
is
so
Madam
said
Creses
;
however
since
you
are
fallen
upon
that
point
,
I
shall
let
you
know
,
how
farre
the
King
hath
yet
condiscended
to
their
demands
,
whereby
the
better
to
dispossesse
the
People
of
that
beliefe
they
are
perswaded
to
have
in
the
Senates
integrity
,
though
I
verily
thinke
,
they
now
more
feare
their
power
,
then
trust
their
intentions
;
for
whereas
not
many
dayes
agoe
,
they
proposed
to
Euarchus
to
have
the
power
of
the
force
of
the
Kingdome
for
twenty
yeares
both
by
Sea
and
Land
,
the
King
hath
yielded
to
grant
them
that
jurisdiction
during
his
life
,
though
not
for
that
terme
,
which
appears
now
to
be
the
greatest
difference
between
them
,
since
the
Senate
seemes
not
content
with
this
offer
:
whereupon
the
Myssians
have
lately
put
out
a
furious
declaration
against
the
Senate
pressing
the
King
to
such
unreasonable
conditions
:
In
good
earnest
answered
Roxana
,
I
cannot
tell
,
whether
I
have
more
cause
to
smile
at
the
seeming
ridiculousnesse
of
these
proceedings
,
or
be
amazed
to
see
men
growne
so
foolishly
unreasonable
,
since
Euarchus
appeares
to
my
understanding
,
to
be
willing
to
part
with
more
from
his
own
hopes
,
then
what
the
Senate
requires
;
for
that
if
he
grant
the
power
of
the
Kingdome
out
of
his
hands
during
his
life
,
it
gives
more
assurance
to
the
Senate
that
he
intends
no
more
to
raigne
,
if
he
had
quitted
his
power
for
so
many
yeares
only
,
since
he
might
have
some
thought
to
over
live
that
prescribed
terme
;
againe
for
the
Myssians
I
wonder
most
of
all
at
their
new
loyalty
to
their
Prince
,
when
they
have
been
as
I
may
say
,
the
only
cause
that
hath
made
him
no
King
,
though
now
anew
,
they
seeme
to
desire
to
re-establish
him
in
his
ancient
authority
,
which
certainly
cannot
be
but
upon
other
designes
of
advantage
to
themselves
,
more
then
for
Euarchus
prosperity
.
Truly
Madam
said
Creses
,
in
the
generall
it
is
as
you
say
,
but
yet
there
are
so
many
mysteries
hid
under
these
proceedings
,
that
they
are
capable
to
deceive
the
sharpest
judgement
,
if
some
light
be
not
given
by
information
:
Wherefore
you
must
know
that
both
Euarchus
and
the
Senate
know
very
well
,
that
the
consequence
of
all
the
Affaires
,
chiefly
depend
upon
the
assurance
of
the
safety
of
the
Kings
person
,
since
he
can
never
hope
to
be
againe
re-established
in
his
rightfull
authority
,
but
either
by
the
humours
and
inconstancy
of
the
common
people
,
who
when
they
finde
the
Kings
absolute
oppression
brings
no
prosperity
to
them
,
will
probably
become
exasperated
against
the
Senates
proceedings
and
power
,
or
by
an
unreconcilable
difference
betweene
the
Senators
themselves
,
who
may
most
command
when
they
shall
finde
no
other
jurisdiction
to
oppose
them
:
both
which
in
all
likelihood
will
conduce
to
the
Kings
benefit
,
if
he
sit
quiet
sometime
under
his
injuries
,
which
I
conceive
to
be
the
reason
that
he
hath
in
outward
appearance
yielded
so
much
to
their
demands
.
And
for
the
Myssians
perhaps
by
this
opposition
they
would
perswade
the
world
to
a
beliefe
of
their
integrities
,
as
if
at
the
first
they
consented
not
to
the
Kings
hard
usage
,
whereby
to
obtaine
a
greater
party
,
not
only
in
the
Kingdome
of
Lydia
,
if
they
have
an
intention
to
dispute
their
own
profit
:
but
in
other
Countries
if
they
meane
to
make
Warre
upon
our
people
,
because
they
cannot
be
sharers
in
the
government
as
they
hoped
,
the
only
cause
certainly
of
the
now
seeming
quarrell
;
so
that
in
my
opinion
Euarchus
hath
done
like
a
wise
and
politick
Prince
,
in
seeming
not
to
contend
,
where
he
was
sure
not
to
prevaile
,
especially
since
by
the
dispute
,
he
might
have
endangered
those
hearts
that
will
now
be
of
his
side
,
if
the
occasion
be
offered
,
either
out
of
pitty
to
his
sufferings
,
or
our
of
hate
to
the
Senates
government
;
And
besides
,
it
is
to
be
considered
,
that
no
act
he
shall
passe
in
this
condition
of
constraint
,
can
binde
either
himselfe
or
posterity
by
all
humane
and
divine
lawes
,
if
his
Sword
ever
become
more
powerfull
:
in
the
meane
time
,
the
Senate
will
seek
to
preserve
the
Kings
life
and
person
with
their
best
care
,
since
their
own
authority
falls
entirely
by
his
death
,
which
as
I
say
is
the
reason
they
desire
more
a
terme
of
yeares
in
the
continuation
of
thier
required
government
,
then
the
determinable
fate
of
the
Princes
life
,
because
they
may
have
alwayes
the
liberty
to
presse
him
to
new
conditions
,
if
they
finde
by
experience
they
have
not
yet
obtained
sufficient
,
since
they
shall
not
need
to
feare
the
vexations
of
his
person
,
may
bring
any
hazard
upon
him
.
I
cannot
deny
said
Roxana
,
but
these
reasons
are
sufficient
to
render
me
wholly
satisfied
in
my
doubtfull
opinions
,
but
the
gods
are
only
capable
to
foresee
the
event
of
things
.
And
with
that
looking
upon
the
Sun
,
she
perceived
the
time
of
the
day
called
her
to
the
attendance
of
the
Princesse
,
which
made
her
for
the
present
take
her
leave
.
Upon
her
arrivall
she
found
Cloria
only
accompanied
by
her
Lute
in
a
small
withdrawing
room
belonging
to
her
own
chamber
,
where
none
but
her selfe
had
permission
to
be
admitted
:
not
long
after
she
had
saluted
the
Princesse
,
she
discovered
she
had
been
weeping
,
by
the
red
circles
about
her
eyes
,
that
gave
the
old
woman
occasion
further
to
be
inquisitive
after
her
imployment
;
untill
she
spyed
this
complaining
ditty
lying
written
before
her
upon
the
Table
,
that
quickly
gave
her
satisfaction
of
the
occasion
,
though
her
excellent
voyce
and
rare
skill
rendred
the
Musick
heavenly
.
Is
Justice
could
some
favour
finde
,
Or
were
not
rather
truly
blind
;
Ambition
sure
durst
never
weare
,
The
spoyles
of
such
a
vertue
heare
,
When
every
houre
Doth
need
her
power
To
set
both
Crownes
and
Kingdomes
free
.
For
love
I
see
is
but
a
flame
That
onely
beares
a
constant
name
;
And
is
by
interest
as
a
wave
,
Tost
here
and
there
as
others
crave
,
If
objects
seeme
Of
more
esteeme
To
summon
sense
unto
the
call
.
But
whatsoever
dwells
more
high
,
Shoote
but
your
Commets
from
the
skie
,
Against
the
hate
that
mortalls
beare
,
To
such
as
lawfull
Scepters
weare
,
And
wee
'l
adore
For
evermore
That
action
as
a
Di●●●
Yet
whilst
that
fate
and
pride
contend
,
Whether
shall
conquer
at
the
end
,
The
Gods
themselves
have
cause
to
feare
;
A
revolution
of
the
Spheare
,
And
then
like
we
May
Martyrs
be
In
the
vast
Chaos
of
the
fall
.
But
the
Princesse
after
she
had
made
an
end
of
her
Musicke
,
began
with
many
complaints
and
more
sighes
to
blame
absent
Narcissus
for
his
too
much
negligence
in
his
love
,
since
in
all
this
time
of
her
last
restraint
he
had
not
found
as
she
said
some
disguise
to
visit
her
person
,
though
he
might
want
the
power
to
procure
her
liberty
;
which
she
continued
with
a
certaine
passion
,
untill
Roxana
not
only
chid
her
for
those
sad
expressions
,
that
as
she
told
her
had
destroyed
in
part
the
ravishing
delight
of
her
song
,
but
seemed
unjust
in
accusing
her
servant
,
that
had
in
so
many
dangerous
adventures
shewed
alwayes
the
entire
constancy
of
his
affection
,
who
was
no
doubt
at
the
present
retired
into
some
region
,
where
he
might
best
advantage
her
service
.
However
Cloria
was
willing
upon
any
hopes
,
to
be
satisfied
with
the
proceedings
of
Narcissus
,
and
much
more
with
his
intentions
;
yet
could
she
not
but
tell
Roxana
,
that
although
she
was
pleased
to
be
his
advocate
that
seemed
to
have
a
powerfull
perswasion
in
her
beliefe
,
yet
were
the
loves
she
feared
from
Farezius
,
and
the
importunities
she
expected
of
Cassianus
,
in
her
apprehension
,
arguments
sufficient
to
make
her
think
Narcissus
wanted
much
diligence
,
at
leastwise
violence
,
that
he
did
not
endeavour
to
scale
the
very
Walles
where
she
remained
a
prisoner
,
rather
then
to
endure
her
to
be
so
injured
.
Truly
Madam
answered
Roxana
,
as
I
cannot
tell
why
you
should
expect
miracles
instead
of
services
,
so
have
you
no
cause
to
doubt
the
importunities
you
mention
,
since
I
am
not
certaine
Farezius
love
was
ever
presented
to
your
liking
:
either
from
himselfe
,
or
any
of
his
instruments
;
And
for
the
Addresses
of
Cassianus
,
you
have
been
already
so
accustomed
to
refusals
,
that
I
conceive
you
have
not
any
other
hard
part
to
play
then
to
continue
the
same
course
still
.
Besides
,
you
may
well
remember
by
Cassianus
own
Letter
,
that
his
affections
are
not
so
hot
,
as
to
presse
you
upon
over
great
inconveniences
;
and
therefore
,
in
my
opinion
you
may
very
well
quiet
your
thoughts
concerning
his
courtships
.
O
Roxana
said
the
Princesse
,
you
are
much
deceived
in
both
these
particulars
,
for
as
to
my
knowledge
(
which
I
have
understood
since
I
saw
you
last
)
Farezius
hath
already
intimated
his
desire
to
my
father
,
whom
you
may
be
sure
will
comply
almost
in
any
thing
that
concernes
the
Generall
,
So
doth
Cassianus
labour
the
Senate
underhand
,
to
be
propitious
to
his
love
,
since
as
he
sayes
,
their
own
honours
are
ingaged
in
the
issue
,
for
that
the
world
takes
notice
of
their
protestations
,
which
are
to
see
him
established
in
a
prosperous
condition
both
in
power
and
affection
:
And
the
rather
as
●retends
for
that
they
formerly
sent
for
him
,
according
to
their
professions
,
to
see
them
put
in
execution
.
Roxana
replyed
,
as
there
be
many
reasons
of
sufficient
force
to
make
me
give
way
to
your
opinions
,
since
your
own
beauty
,
honour
,
and
vertues
are
loadstones
attractive
enough
to
intangle
all
the
world
in
an
intricate
labyrinth
of
love
and
desire
,
notwithstanding
what
difficulties
soever
,
yet
it
cannot
but
seeme
most
strange
to
my
thoughts
,
that
Farezius
low
condition
,
though
his
fortune
hath
been
eminent
,
should
aspire
to
such
a
supreame
excellency
with
any
hope
to
enjoy
.
Hold
your selfe
content
woman
said
the
Princesse
,
there
is
no
limitation
of
selfe-love
and
ambition
,
when
they
have
once
taken
possession
of
a
proud
heart
,
though
covered
with
never
so
meane
an
extraction
;
And
you
know
that
Farezius
is
a
gentleman
,
which
joyned
with
his
former
successe
in
the
Warres
,
and
his
present
command
now
in
the
Army
,
cannot
want
perswasions
to
make
him
attempt
any
enterprize
for
his
own
glory
,
especially
since
the
King
seemes
meerly
to
depend
upon
his
assistance
,
or
allowance
for
his
future
prosperity
;
and
being
so
,
what
counsell
can
you
give
me
either
to
prevent
his
violence
or
instruct
his
passion
,
since
I
dare
not
be
too
bold
,
in
hazarding
my
fathers
fortunes
by
provoking
the
Generalls
spleen
by
a
harsh
and
disdainefull
deniall
.
In
good
sooth
said
Roxana
,
I
am
very
glad
to
see
,
you
have
learned
some
temper
since
you
were
in
the
possession
of
Osiris
,
where
as
you
may
remember
,
I
had
much
adoe
to
perswade
you
to
entertaine
reason
,
or
●●●tinue
you
in
patience
,
wishing
then
,
you
had
h●●arded
a
thousand
deaths
rather
then
have
dissembled
your
love
in
any
kinde
;
but
perhaps
Narcissus
is
now
farther
from
your
remembrance
,
though
neerer
your
person
.
No
by
all
the
immortall
gods
answered
the
sweet
Princesse
,
my
affection
is
as
pure
and
constant
as
it
was
in
Osiris
Court
,
if
not
encreased
by
the
effects
of
more
tryalls
to
render
it
absolutely
juditious
,
only
the
consideration
of
my
fathers
present
captivity
,
and
future
danger
makes
me
so
farre
willing
to
dispence
with
my
own
deare
love
,
as
to
maske
it
over
with
some
hypocrisie
,
for
his
sake
,
which
formerly
I
was
unwilling
to
purchase
with
the
assurance
of
my
own
life
,
when
I
remained
in
the
City
of
Memphis
;
only
the
consideration
of
a
necessarily
jealousie
in
Narcissus
breast
,
when
rumours
shall
bring
such
reports
to
his
absent
eares
,
I
must
confesse
something
deterres
my
resolution
,
from
any
dissimulation
at
all
in
love
,
though
no
way
prejudicially
to
his
right
or
my
own
honour
.
Indeed
Madam
said
Roxana
,
I
doe
not
now
only
,
begin
to
love
you
for
your
wisdome
,
but
will
endeavour
to
put
a
project
into
your
head
,
that
may
both
keep
your
father
safe
,
and
perhaps
destroy
your
enemies
,
at
leastwise
it
will
protract
if
not
divert
your
violent
prosecution
;
certainly
governesse
answered
the
Princesse
,
if
you
prove
as
good
as
your
word
,
I
shall
esteeme
it
the
greatest
piece
of
service
that
ever
your
wits
produced
,
since
in
my
opinion
,
it
not
only
equalls
all
others
in
benefit
,
for
that
the
King
as
well
as
my selfe
is
concerned
in
the
businesse
,
but
out
goes
the
rest
in
difficulty
,
considering
how
many
powerfull
adversaries
you
have
to
deale
withall
.
Well
then
said
Roxana
,
sit
still
and
heare
my
propositions
,
and
afterwards
prepare
your selfe
without
resistance
to
put
them
in
execution
,
though
never
so
much
against
your
appetite
;
if
not
returne
me
such
arguments
as
may
convert
my
judgement
as
well
as
satisfie
your
own
fancy
:
Cloria
told
Roxana
that
her
injunction
was
so
reasonable
,
that
it
was
not
to
be
contradicted
by
any
that
had
common
sense
,
or
was
not
desperate
against
their
own
good
,
promising
withall
to
be
punctuall
in
her
obedience
,
as
a
principall
duty
she
esteemed
her selfe
bound
unto
,
in
regard
of
that
charge
she
had
had
ever
since
her
infancy
over
her
,
and
then
the
old
woman
began
this
discourse
.
For
these
two
Suitors
said
she
,
that
seem
likely
to
trouble
your
patience
,
and
the
Kingdomes
quiet
,
since
the
one
commands
the
Army
,
as
the
other
is
possest
of
the
hearts
of
the
Senate
,
I
make
no
doubt
,
but
you
may
oppose
their
owne
interest
one
against
the
other
,
if
you
can
dissemblingly
but
entertaine
the
love
of
either
;
by
which
jealousie
certainly
there
must
needes
rise
discontents
and
factions
towards
your
safety
and
fathers
advantage
;
for
if
you
entertain
the
addresses
of
Cassianus
,
the
Souldiers
will
think
their
Generall
undervalued
,
who
appeares
now
to
the
publike
view
to
carry
upon
the
point
of
his
Sword
the
absolute
power
and
strength
of
the
whole
Kingdome
;
And
if
you
accept
of
Farezius
Courtships
,
no
doubt
but
the
Senate
will
esteeme
their
own
authorities
dishonoured
,
since
they
have
proposed
Prince
Cassianus
to
be
the
subject
of
their
chiefe
care
:
Besides
,
if
Farezius
should
faile
in
any
thing
he
attempts
,
many
of
the
common
people
would
conceive
with
some
violence
,
that
the
Senate
hath
an
intention
to
couzen
them
out
of
those
priviledges
,
they
have
been
promised
when
their
greatest
patron
shall
be
debarred
of
his
own
desires
,
and
if
Cassianus
should
misse
of
what
he
hath
hitherto
expected
by
the
Senates
liberall
offers
,
the
Nobility
might
very
well
imagine
,
that
the
people
and
Army
endeavoured
to
become
their
Masters
,
which
would
not
be
lessened
by
other
jealousies
already
growing
between
the
two
factions
,
since
the
Nobility
doth
not
onely
with
all
the
secret
policy
they
can
,
seek
to
curbe
the
insolency
of
the
common
sort
,
who
strive
for
nothing
more
,
then
to
bring
down
all
dignity
to
an
universall
equallity
,
but
the
multitude
have
already
so
farre
declared
their
dislike
of
the
Lords
proceedings
,
that
publikely
they
have
required
to
have
the
authority
of
their
jurisdiction
taken
away
,
and
made
lyable
to
the
peoples
allowance
,
who
now
enjoy
their
priviledges
by
inheritance
from
their
Ancestors
,
purchased
either
by
their
own
merits
,
or
the
Princes
grace
.
And
last
of
all
,
though
the
factions
of
the
two
Rivalls
should
not
enflame
at
the
particular
disgrace
of
either
Cassianus
or
Farezins
,
yet
certainly
their
owne
Swords
in
a
private
combate
would
be
very
likely
to
decide
the
quarrell
,
which
would
give
you
a
faire
pretence
to
refuse
the
Survivor
that
should
covet
to
imbrace
you
with
hands
imbrued
in
bloud
.
Governesse
answered
the
Princesse
,
although
I
should
be
very
glad
to
be
an
occasion
to
raise
any
faction
for
my
own
present
advantage
,
and
my
fathers
future
prosperity
,
yet
I
cannot
deny
but
I
am
most
extream
sorry
to
heare
of
new
troubles
,
whereby
the
Kingdome
should
be
engaged
in
more
slaughters
.
You
are
very
pittifull
replyed
Roxana
,
but
I
pray
consider
,
whether
it
be
not
better
to
procure
the
discomposure
of
those
that
have
sought
all
this
time
by
their
authority
to
establish
another
government
,
destructive
to
Monarchy
,
whereby
of
necessity
a
generall
confusion
must
follow
,
for
that
it
is
not
probable
so
many
interests
can
be
satisfied
,
or
give
occasion
to
prepare
Lydia
for
the
conquest
of
forraigne
Forces
,
since
it
is
impossible
your
fathers
many
children
would
be
content
to
sit
downe
quietly
with
the
perpetuall
losse
of
their
owne
Birth-rights
extorted
from
the
King
by
his
unruly
Subjects
,
during
their
minorities
,
and
able
enough
certainly
they
will
be
to
contend
for
their
dues
,
seeing
all
the
Princes
of
Asia
are
interessed
as
well
in
the
example
as
in
their
bloud
.
No
,
no
Madam
said
she
,
rather
dispence
with
your
unprofitable
commiseration
then
be
carelesse
of
future
safety
,
for
it
will
be
much
better
now
to
destroy
these
unlawfull
designes
by
a
little
civill
Warres
amongst
themselves
,
that
would
but
purge
the
Kingdome
of
its
corrupt
humours
,
ingendred
by
excesse
in
pride
and
prosperity
,
then
in
the
times
to
come
to
expose
all
conditions
to
a
perpetuall
slavery
,
under
a
Tyrannicall
government
,
gained
by
the
power
of
lawlesse
Souldiers
,
brought
in
by
other
Princes
not
acquainted
with
the
natures
of
our
people
,
much
lesse
senfible
of
their
sufferings
,
since
they
will
only
consider
their
faults
past
,
and
not
looke
upon
their
miseries
present
,
for
they
would
rather
judge
them
by
the
manner
of
subjection
of
their
own
Countrey
,
then
by
the
sweetnesse
of
the
Lydian
Lawes
:
Wherefore
I
say
you
must
thinke
,
whether
of
the
two
Suitors
you
will
make
the
object
of
your
choyce
,
to
render
the
other
jealous
of
his
actions
and
your
favours
,
whereby
some
sudden
difference
may
arise
between
the
factions
to
bring
the
sooner
confusion
into
the
Kingdome
,
which
certainly
is
the
readiest
way
againe
to
establish
your
father
in
his
right
,
since
the
noyse
of
forraigne
power
at
present
,
will
not
only
be
an
occasion
the
better
to
unite
them
together
to
the
Kings
disadvantage
,
but
at
the
best
,
hazard
the
destruction
of
all
property
and
government
,
since
the
Sword
will
be
the
principall
Arbitrator
of
every
mans
right
,
and
the
victory
a
change
of
his
condition
.
Truly
Roxana
said
the
Princesse
,
as
I
cannot
in
my
own
reason
esteeme
your
discourse
apocryphall
,
so
of
the
other
side
,
you
cannot
deny
,
but
that
I
have
been
ever
willing
in
all
my
necessities
to
follow
your
Counsell
,
and
therefore
since
you
have
prescribed
the
Law
;
certainly
the
election
will
be
easie
;
for
considering
that
Farezius
hath
not
yet
publikely
pretended
to
my
love
,
at
leastwise
by
any
expressions
to
my selfe
,
me
thinks
it
would
appeare
some
injustice
for
me
to
refuse
Cassianus
Courtships
,
who
hath
already
as
you
know
a
kinde
of
an
ingagement
from
my
own
mouth
concerning
the
old
Flamine
,
though
he
be
since
destroyed
:
besides
his
bloud
,
Titles
,
and
condition
,
more
suite
with
my
honour
and
professions
,
in
which
the
Nobility
of
the
Kingdome
will
have
the
greater
share
,
whose
dignities
certainly
if
it
were
not
for
particular
ends
,
would
preserve
Monarchy
;
whereas
the
people
and
common
Souldiers
endeavour
nothing
more
then
to
destroy
it
from
the
face
of
the
earth
.
Why
then
Princesse
said
Roxana
,
if
you
be
so
resolved
,
I
must
give
you
your
lesson
;
but
first
I
will
tell
you
of
a
third
Suitor
,
who
also
as
best
deserving
must
have
some
imployment
,
and
that
is
Creses
;
one
whose
affection
might
merit
a
requitall
with
your
love
,
if
your
other
engagements
,
and
his
own
disproportion
were
not
obstacles
beyond
removall
:
however
,
it
is
your
part
to
trust
his
fidelity
,
and
reward
his
trust
,
especially
since
his
endeavours
may
bring
you
advantage
as
well
as
himselfe
preferment
.
Wherefore
I
will
designe
him
to
this
office
though
he
be
not
yet
privy
to
my
intentions
,
which
is
presently
to
make
a
Journey
into
Syria
,
where
the
Queene
your
Mother
,
and
the
Prince
your
brother
both
remaine
,
to
expect
the
pleasure
of
that
State
concerning
your
fathers
affaires
,
by
which
meanes
he
shall
more
particularly
be
able
to
informe
them
concerning
the
Mystery
of
your
resolutions
that
may
render
the
assistance
they
shall
be
willing
to
lend
more
advantageable
,
and
the
rather
for
that
I
understand
the
Countrey
of
Syria
,
still
entertaines
an
Ambassadour
with
the
Myssians
,
whose
force
certainly
will
conduce
much
to
our
projects
,
if
they
can
be
made
faithfull
to
Euarchus
good
,
since
the
least
power
will
infinitely
strengthen
the
faction
that
shall
shew
it selfe
for
the
King
or
his
sonne
;
and
in
the
Journey
I
intend
Creses
shall
visit
the
Cretans
see
whether
they
may
also
be
wrought
to
joyne
with
our
party
here
at
home
,
which
is
not
improbable
,
since
peace
and
settlement
in
Lydia
will
be
an
overthrow
to
their
prosperities
,
for
that
those
people
by
this
Kingdome
are
esteemed
no
other
then
pernitious
rebells
:
And
let
Creses
alone
to
act
his
part
when
he
is
sufficiently
enformed
of
our
desires
,
whose
sharpe
wit
and
excellent
language
,
cannot
be
equalled
by
any
messenger
can
be
sent
,
which
are
fortunate
properties
to
our
purpose
;
besides
his
intire
love
to
your
sacred
selfe
,
will
be
alwayes
sure
to
continue
him
absolutely
faithfull
,
which
afterward
must
be
rewarded
,
either
by
your
fathers
fortunes
,
or
the
Queenes
interest
in
Syria
.
Without
doubt
Governesse
said
Cloria
,
you
have
hit
upon
a
right
plot
,
and
the
rather
for
that
I
heare
by
a
late
edict
sent
from
the
Senate
(
as
it
should
seeme
upon
the
Kings
flight
)
they
have
not
onely
banished
out
of
the
City
of
Sardis
,
all
my
fathers
friends
in
generall
,
but
Creses
in
particular
,
as
conceiving
him
extraordinarily
interessed
in
the
Kings
counsell
and
affaires
,
for
that
he
brought
as
you
know
to
the
Senate
the
first
propositions
of
his
and
the
Armies
desires
.
Then
Madam
said
Roxana
,
your
next
worke
must
be
,
anew
to
invite
Prince
Cassianus
,
by
some
hopes
of
your
acceptance
of
his
offered
Love
,
which
may
conveniently
be
grounded
upon
the
late
Letter
he
sent
you
,
that
you
have
not
yet
answered
,
as
also
upon
your
discourse
to
him
,
when
he
shewed
both
affection
and
diligence
in
saving
the
old
Flamines
life
at
your
request
,
in
which
service
you
exprest
so
much
liking
to
his
person
and
vertues
,
that
you
profest
him
the
next
person
in
your
thoughts
to
Narcissus
engagement
,
whom
he
will
not
be
perswaded
is
living
:
and
I
shall
be
very
glad
still
to
continue
him
in
that
errour
,
untill
the
designes
we
have
in
hand
may
happily
be
brought
to
some
fortunate
issue
,
by
which
meanes
Farezius
may
be
spoyled
of
the
peoples
affections
,
and
bereaved
of
the
power
of
the
Army
,
that
now
seemes
to
carry
him
up
beyond
all
other
authorities
,
and
so
consequently
enflames
his
thoughts
above
opposition
,
in
what
he
shall
propose
,
much
lesse
wish
;
though
truly
for
my
part
I
believe
,
he
hath
a
strong
faction
against
him
,
not
only
by
the
Nobility
by
reason
of
Dimogoras
disgrace
,
and
many
of
the
chiefe
Sena●●rs
fearing
their
own
power
,
but
also
in
divers
Provinces
where
he
hath
so
long
a
space
quartered
his
Souldiers
without
removall
,
though
their
own
desires
in
taking
away
the
power
from
the
Lords
and
destroying
the
Kings
regality
,
yet
hinders
them
from
complaining
.
Well
,
well
said
Cloria
,
as
we
must
leave
time
to
discover
these
hidden
mysteries
,
so
will
I
addresse
my selfe
to
put
in
execution
what
your
wisdome
hath
prescribed
,
and
to
that
purpose
must
enjoyn
you
to
remaine
here
in
my
absence
,
untill
an
houres
space
give
you
releasement
;
in
which
interim
I
shall
endeavour
to
contrive
a
Letter
to
Cassianus
(
in
answer
to
his
he
sent
me
the
other
day
)
convenient
for
our
designe
.
But
scarce
had
the
Princesse
remained
in
her
private
Cabinet
the
time
limitted
by
her
words
,
but
she
brought
forth
a
Letter
imprinted
in
a
faire
character
,
but
written
by
a
much
fairer
hand
,
which
she
giving
to
Roxana
to
reade
,
it
spake
this
language
.
COusin
,
Although
I
can
no
way
doubt
of
your
affection
,
by
reason
of
so
many
protestations
you
have
made
upon
all
occasions
,
able
to
convert
any
misbeliever
from
the
strongest
opinion
to
the
contrary
,
since
otherwise
honour
as
well
as
religion
,
should
extreamely
suffer
by
so
much
falshood
;
yet
whether
that
love
or
no
be
of
so
noble
a
quality
as
to
merit
my
regard
,
is
scarce
a
question
,
when
you
dare
not
before
the
face
of
any
enemy
,
own
these
professions
you
have
so
often
uttered
:
Alas
,
alas
Cassianus
,
to
what
a
miserable
condition
am
I
brought
,
when
he
that
my
heart
would
pleasure
,
is
afraid
to
receive
the
favour
,
because
he
that
I
have
no
will
to
love
,
is
pleased
to
be
angry
?
What
dazeling
beames
proceeding
from
Farezius
greatnesse
,
have
power
to
captivate
the
soule
of
so
Illustrious
a
Prince
,
whose
antient
bloud
hath
filled
the
veynes
of
all
the
mighty
houses
in
Asia
with
lustre
and
renowne
?
If
I
be
growne
lesse
in
vertue
then
I
was
,
when
you
first
made
those
large
tenders
,
you
ought
to
expresse
wherein
,
that
I
might
defend
my
reputation
;
but
if
your
inconstancy
proceed
from
fancy
,
or
want
of
courage
,
you
cannot
expect
I
should
remaine
the
same
,
CLORIA
.
When
Roxana
had
read
the
Letter
,
she
told
the
Princesse
,
that
as
she
did
approve
the
manner
of
her
writing
,
since
it
wanted
not
force
to
stirre
up
the
coldest
courage
to
that
violence
which
was
necessary
for
their
purpose
,
so
did
it
not
give
much
advantage
for
future
engagement
;
but
however
Cloria
was
not
able
to
heare
her
words
without
letting
fall
a
few
gentle
Teares
,
not
only
to
shew
,
that
her
heart
consented
not
to
the
hypocrisie
,
but
her
soule
melted
at
the
remembrance
of
her
absent
love
,
though
she
meant
no
way
to
prejudice
his
interest
;
and
in
this
sorrowfull
posture
,
gave
her
governesse
commission
to
send
away
the
paper
;
whilst
she
her selfe
quickly
retired
into
her
own
chamber
,
at
leastwise
to
content
her
thoughts
with
those
hopes
she
had
been
perswaded
to
entertaine
by
Roxana's
discourse
,
though
not
many
dayes
did
she
spend
in
diversity
of
contemplations
,
before
she
received
this
answer
from
Cassianus
,
MOst
admirable
Princesse
,
as
I
cannot
but
confirme
my
former
protestations
by
a
thousand
other
new
oathes
,
not
onely
to
re-assure
you
of
my
fidelity
in
those
pure
affections
I
firsi
offered
upon
the
Altar
of
myheart
to
your
sacred
perfections
,
but
must
conjure
your
beliese
by
all
the
powerfull
spells
of
honour
and
justice
,
to
be
confident
that
neither
the
feare
of
Farezius
greatnesse
,
or
doubt
of
my
owne
safety
,
could
give
the
occasion
to
lessen
those
respects
so
justly
due
from
my
love
to
your
worth
,
since
I
not
onely
hold
the
Generalls
person
of
too
low
a
consideration
for
my
thoughts
,
which
are
alwayes
imployed
upon
that
high
subject
your
excellent
selfe
,
but
my
life
to
be
of
too
small
a
value
to
be
lost
in
any
thing
that
can
possibly
be
named
your
concernment
.
No
deare
Madam
,
it
was
nothing
lesse
then
the
horrour
my
imagination
apprehended
to
suspect
your
unvaluable
person
might
be
in
some
danger
by
the
unjust
jealousie
of
the
proud
Generalls
feares
,
to
see
you
adored
by
any
interest
,
and
withall
no
small
doubt
,
least
your
royall
fathers
rights
might
againe
be
restrained
by
his
rage
,
when
he
should
perceive
a
forraigne
Prince
of
his
own
bloud
,
began
new
addresses
without
his
leave
to
any
of
his
posterity
,
since
I
believed
Farezius
aymed
alone
at
the
honour
to
doe
the
King
justice
:
but
now
finding
he
hath
not
onely
changed
the
opinion
with
his
fortune
;
but
that
I
have
a
releasement
by
the
powerfull
warrant
of
your
pen
,
the
gods
shall
not
with-hold
my
fury
from
performing
those
services
wherein
I
will
esteeme
death
a
purchase
,
if
the
faire
Cloria
doe
but
own
the
Sacrifice
of
offered
CASSIANUS
.
The
Princesse
could
not
chuse
but
reade
this
Letter
with
a
little
kind
of
trembling
,
as
if
she
feared
what
she
did
not
doubt
,
since
the
worst
she
was
to
expect
,
as
she
thought
from
Cassianus
,
was
to
comply
with
her
desire
;
but
it
is
the
nature
of
all
passion
,
to
produce
new
violences
,
whether
in
those
things
we
wish
or
others
we
would
not
have
.
And
so
it
fared
with
sweet
Cloria
,
who
in
a
manner
dreaded
what
she
had
designed
to
be
,
because
it
came
.
But
after
a
lovely
smile
had
taken
possession
of
that
countenance
,
that
for
a
while
put
on
some
distraction
,
she
told
her
governesse
,
that
although
their
plot
in
all
apparance
had
thus
far
well
succeeded
,
since
she
perceived
her
Cousin
was
wonne
to
be
sufficiently
valiant
;
yet
she
made
some
question
how
she
was
to
entertaine
his
presence
,
when
he
should
make
his
addresses
;
for
if
she
should
as
she
said
,
give
him
but
ordinary
welcome
,
he
might
againe
fall
back
from
his
seeming
fury
against
Farezius
;
and
if
too
well
,
he
might
expect
some
greater
engagement
then
was
convenient
for
her
to
grant
.
Truly
Madam
answered
Roxana
,
make
no
scruple
to
let
him
have
as
much
as
you
can
spare
upon
the
old
score
,
since
my
Lord
Narcissus
appearance
at
any
time
,
will
absolutely
blot
out
the
obligation
,
which
you
know
were
the
first
conditions
you
treated
upon
in
saving
the
old
Flamines
life
.
I
but
said
Cloria
,
I
should
be
very
sorry
any
suspected
testimony
did
remaine
,
that
so
much
as
intimated
my
thoughts
could
ever
be
perswaded
to
another
choyce
.
In
good
sooth
said
the
old
woman
;
your
conscience
is
so
tender
in
matters
of
love
,
that
I
believe
when
you
are
married
to
your
servant
,
you
will
make
a
doubt
,
whether
he
be
the
same
man
or
no
,
and
by
that
meanes
call
your
affection
in
question
to
the
raising
of
some
desperate
jealousie
between
you
.
At
these
words
the
Princesse
smil'd
,
but
was
prevented
in
her
reply
,
by
the
information
she
received
,
that
her
dinner
waited
her
pleasure
.
It
was
not
long
after
this
discourse
before
Cassianus
himselfe
in
person
came
into
the
Princesse
Lodgings
,
not
only
in
confirmation
of
the
truth
of
his
Letter
he
had
sent
,
but
as
it
were
according
to
his
profession
to
obraide
Farezius
suspected
,
if
not
pretended
love
,
although
Cloria
for
that
present
,
was
so
busied
by
reason
of
some
imployment
in
her
chamber
with
her
maid
servants
,
that
Roxana
was
constrained
with
some
complements
not
only
to
give
him
entertainment
,
but
to
make
her
Mistresses
excuse
,
which
at
last
seated
them
both
in
a
withdrawing
roome
belonging
to
the
Princesses
lodgings
,
and
that
conveniences
drew
on
many
discourses
;
amongst
which
Cassianus
was
perswaded
by
the
old
womans
desires
,
to
relate
the
passages
of
his
own
fortunes
,
with
the
rest
of
the
Princes
of
Armenia
,
pretended
to
be
injured
by
the
usurped
power
of
Artaxes
their
great
King
,
which
he
delivered
in
this
manner
,
as
a
greater
motive
by
Roxana's
meanes
to
perswade
Clorias
affections
.
You
must
know
said
he
,
that
after
the
valiant
King
of
Seythia
had
lost
his
life
in
the
Armenian
Warres
in
defence
of
the
Princes
rights
,
who
were
esteemed
oppressed
by
Artaxes
power
,
a
story
most
sufficiently
known
to
all
,
my selfe
came
into
Lydia
to
demand
assistance
of
Euarchus
my
Uncle
,
to
recover
againe
my
conquered
Country
of
Iberia
,
detained
from
me
by
Tigranes
Duke
of
Colchis
.
Orsames
also
at
the
same
time
began
his
Warres
against
our
oppressor
with
the
same
pretentions
,
since
Philostros
his
powerfull
Favourite
judged
it
a
worke
full
of
piety
and
justice
,
however
he
knew
there
would
be
much
bloud
spilt
in
the
quarrell
,
since
as
his
master
was
mighty
,
Artaxes
was
obstinate
,
and
both
ambitious
;
And
to
this
purpose
,
not
onely
prosecuted
his
designe
with
much
violence
against
the
King
of
Armenia
,
but
in
a
short
time
Orsames
gained
many
Countries
,
so
that
at
last
,
he
brought
Artaxes
to
be
willing
to
accept
,
if
not
to
demand
a
publike
Treaty
;
whereby
as
t
was
pretended
,
Asia
againe
might
be
reduced
to
its
former
happy
condition
,
by
the
effects
of
a
generall
peace
,
since
the
discomposure
of
such
mighty
interests
,
seemed
to
threten
the
whole
world
with
a
fatall
destruction
;
and
to
this
effect
,
all
the
injured
Princes
were
called
to
shew
forth
their
accustomed
priviledges
,
in
a
City
upon
the
Confines
of
Syria
and
Armenia
,
which
was
a
place
chosen
as
most
indifferent
for
that
effect
:
where
their
Commissioners
then
meeting
,
and
yet
remaining
with
more
disputes
,
then
hopes
of
agreements
,
gave
occasion
to
the
Senate
of
Lydia
,
to
invite
me
to
flye
to
their
protection
,
as
well
for
present
subsistance
,
as
future
hopes
,
since
it
appeared
these
two
powerfull
Kings
,
only
beheld
their
own
ambitions
as
the
chiefe
object
of
their
considerations
,
though
they
pretend
a
more
charitable
intention
in
their
actions
.
But
my
Lord
said
Roxana
,
as
I
doe
not
desire
to
trouble
my
thoughts
with
the
rights
of
other
Princes
that
have
little
relation
to
our
affaires
,
but
as
they
may
concerne
your
particular
,
so
in
regard
they
may
prove
over
tedious
for
our
intended
discourse
,
since
the
Princesse
her selfe
will
be
likely
to
surprize
us
before
we
have
finished
,
I
must
intreat
the
honour
only
to
be
made
acquainted
with
those
things
,
that
shall
belong
to
your
owne
Titles
;
and
the
rather
for
that
I
have
heard
some
disputes
formerly
to
that
purpose
,
which
I
was
not
very
well
able
to
answer
,
and
should
be
very
glad
to
be
better
provided
against
other
arguments
of
the
same
nature
.
Truly
Madam
answered
Cassianus
,
as
it
is
impossible
for
me
to
sever
in
all
respects
the
interests
of
other
Princes
from
my
own
,
so
I
will
endeavour
to
avoid
what
unnecessary
discourse
may
prove
either
tedious
or
impertinent
;
after
that
Roxana
had
acknowledged
the
favour
by
a
few
complements
,
he
related
these
particulars
.
Although
I
am
confident
said
he
,
that
you
are
competently
informed
,
that
my
dead
father
was
dispossessed
of
his
fruitfull
Countrey
of
Iberia
for
taking
up
of
Armes
against
the
power
of
Artaxes
King
of
Armenia
,
yet
may
not
be
perhaps
sufficiently
instructed
how
Tygranes
became
possessor
of
our
Countries
,
Titles
,
and
Honours
,
wherefore
be
pleased
to
know
,
that
after
my
said
father
was
driven
forcibly
from
the
possession
of
the
Crowne
of
Mesopotamia
,
(
which
he
had
received
by
the
free
election
of
that
people
,
who
found
themselves
oppressed
by
the
Lawes
Artaxes
had
imposed
upon
their
consciences
;
as
well
as
many
of
the
Nobility
deprived
of
such
Lands
belonging
to
the
Temples
,
in
their
possessions
,
which
their
predecessors
had
left
them
,
though
formerly
taken
away
I
must
confesse
by
violence
from
the
Flamines
)
and
my
mother
forced
to
flye
to
her
friends
charity
for
succour
and
safety
,
the
King
of
Armenia
with
the
assistance
of
Tygranes
riches
,
prosecuted
so
farre
his
begun
good
fortune
,
that
in
a
short
space
he
not
only
quieted
the
stirres
in
his
dominions
,
but
advanced
his
power
into
Iberia
,
which
being
without
any
support
,
but
what
few
Forces
Euarchus
his
father
,
then
King
of
Lydia
had
send
to
defend
his
daughters
right
,
quickly
became
master
of
what
strong
places
he
pleased
,
untill
at
last
he
was
Lord
of
the
whole
;
and
being
in
possession
he
not
only
paid
that
debt
he
owed
to
Tygranes
with
part
of
my
Lands
,
but
bestowed
upon
him
in
requitall
of
his
other
good
services
,
all
our
Titles
and
honours
which
for
many
lasting
ages
had
remained
in
our
family
,
as
being
the
next
of
kinne
.
As
this
cruell
injustice
killed
my
father
with
griefe
,
so
after
some
yeares
it
brought
to
our
assistance
the
forenamed
Scythian
Prince
,
as
one
sent
from
the
Gods
in
our
apprehension
,
to
teach
Artaxes
a
new
law
of
obedience
to
the
fortunes
of
so
great
a
courage
;
however
this
date
of
life
became
determined
by
the
envious
destinies
,
and
we
left
only
to
demand
ayde
of
Orsames
power
,
to
finish
that
work
that
we
thought
so
happily
begun
to
the
advantage
of
the
injured
Princes
;
in
which
number
I
was
to
be
reckoned
the
chiefe
,
since
most
eminent
both
in
wrongs
and
honours
:
As
I
may
say
my
particular
cause
bearing
the
very
name
of
all
the
rest
:
In
this
signe
,
the
Syrians
continued
a
large
progresse
within
Artaxes
Countries
,
untill
the
King
himselfe
was
forced
in
a
manner
by
the
consent
also
of
Sorastros
King
of
Aegypt
,
to
that
generall
treaty
I
formerly
mentioned
;
which
notwithstanding
all
the
while
hath
only
produced
disputations
,
instead
of
conclusions
,
for
that
the
War
continues
still
with
violence
to
the
ruine
of
the
whole
Kingdome
,
without
the
benefit
of
any
in
particular
,
began
at
first
by
the
obstinate
pride
of
Tygranes
,
that
would
not
restore
those
rights
belonging
to
my selfe
,
which
probably
might
have
given
satisfaction
to
the
other
Princes
of
our
faction
;
however
lately
Tygranes
being
also
oppressed
by
the
burthen
of
warre
in
his
owne
dominions
,
begins
to
be
more
plyant
to
our
desires
,
and
to
this
purpose
many
arguments
are
alleadged
of
either
side
to
give
colour
to
the
unfortunate
actions
of
Souldiers
,
who
are
maintained
more
to
fatisfie
the
ambition
of
the
two
mighty
Kings
,
then
to
put
us
in
possession
of
our
rights
.
Tygranes
affirmeth
,
that
as
the
King
of
Armenias
gratitude
bestowed
upon
him
in
recompence
of
his
services
done
the
Crowne
,
those
honours
and
Lands
that
belonged
to
our
Family
,
so
the
money
he
hath
laid
out
in
the
Warres
,
makes
him
a
lawfull
purchaser
of
that
benefit
;
and
therefore
in
all
equity
cannot
be
deprived
of
them
without
a
full
satisfaction
,
according
to
the
damage
he
hath
sustained
by
those
actions
.
The
State
of
Syria
againe
pretends
,
that
unlesse
my selfe
be
restored
to
my
former
dignities
,
the
combination
which
is
made
with
the
injured
Princes
,
must
of
necessity
be
broken
,
and
so
consequently
their
Kingdome
of
Syria
dishonoured
in
their
agreement
;
and
we
further
adde
,
that
although
Artaxes
might
have
some
colour
of
displeasure
against
my
father
,
for
taking
upon
him
the
Crowne
of
Mesopotamia
,
and
defending
the
possession
in
his
life
time
by
force
of
Arms
,
which
however
is
a
Title
disputable
,
yet
my self
ought
not
to
be
esteemed
any
way
guilty
of
the
fault
being
an
infant
;
and
therefore
too
much
injured
by
such
a
losse
,
when
instead
of
enjoying
the
greatest
principallity
of
all
Armenia
for
dignity
,
I
am
left
naked
of
honour
and
subsistance
,
whilst
others
of
lesse
quality
triumph
with
those
spoyles
that
should
adorn
my
person
.
In
conclusion
,
not
to
detaine
your
expectation
over
long
with
diversity
of
relations
,
although
the
Kingdome
of
Syria
vowes
never
to
lay
downe
Armes
without
a
full
restoration
of
the
Princes
rights
:
yet
many
Ministers
of
that
State
did
underhand
conclude
a
league
with
Tygranes
to
my
prejudice
;
which
shewes
particular
interest
hath
the
chiefe
preheminency
in
this
Warre
;
but
since
,
upon
new
breaches
,
the
Duke
again
is
fallen
off
from
that
agreement
:
in
so
much
as
the
difference
may
produce
better
effects
;
and
the
rather
doe
I
hope
it
,
for
that
Tygranes
hath
lately
offered
to
procure
the
King
of
Armenia
to
grant
me
equall
honours
to
those
my
father
hath
lost
,
as
himselfe
will
be
content
to
deliver
up
the
possession
of
the
Countries
belonging
to
my
right
,
if
a
generall
peace
in
all
Asia
may
by
that
meanes
succeed
;
provided
he
be
competently
satisfied
by
the
State
for
those
damages
he
hath
susteined
by
the
Warres
;
in
which
posture
continue
our
present
affaires
;
without
either
moving
backward
or
forward
,
to
the
amazement
of
the
whole
world
.
Truly
my
Lord
answered
Roxana
,
it
seemes
to
me
,
nothing
more
is
demanded
in
the
Kingdome
of
Armenia
then
what
you
have
been
pleased
to
mention
,
since
your
interest
is
the
bases
,
upon
which
the
only
occasion
of
the
Warre
hath
been
builded
.
It
is
true
said
Cassianus
,
however
some
differences
in
points
of
religion
that
the
Scythians
stand
upon
,
is
a
kinde
of
an
obstacle
also
;
yet
it
is
thought
,
the
State
of
Syria
can
when
it
pleaseth
,
moderate
that
particular
:
but
the
truth
is
,
that
those
contentions
that
depend
upon
Aegypt
and
Syria
,
are
of
so
much
consequence
to
this
Treaty
,
that
it
absolutely
hinders
not
only
the
progresse
,
but
successe
of
all
the
rest
,
whose
ambitions
as
't
is
thought
can
never
be
satisfied
;
untill
one
of
those
States
perish
from
its
appearing
greatnesse
;
by
which
meanes
the
other
may
appeare
to
the
world
more
absolute
.
By
this
time
the
Princesse
Cloria
came
into
the
roome
,
which
for
the
present
not
only
broake
off
their
discourse
,
but
gave
warning
to
Cassianus
to
present
himselfe
to
his
most
glorious
Mistresse
,
as
the
chiefest
deity
his
heart
pretended
to
adore
;
however
,
she
,
as
if
nature
as
well
as
art
had
taught
a
more
beseeming
quicknesse
then
ordinary
,
fortified
with
those
instructions
she
had
received
from
her
Governesse
that
gave
her
confidence
,
prevented
her
kinsmans
addresses
with
these
words
:
Cousin
said
she
,
if
my
necessary
imployment
hath
made
me
seem
rude
in
that
entertainment
your
kinde
visit
merited
from
me
,
I
must
desire
you
,
rather
to
interpret
my
omission
to
the
presumption
I
had
in
those
tyes
that
have
united
us
in
bloud
,
then
any
fault
my
governesse
hath
committed
in
my
education
,
upon
which
score
I
am
bold
to
aske
your
pardon
,
for
your
over
long
stay
in
expecting
my
company
.
Cassianus
finding
himselfe
saluted
in
this
manner
,
not
only
contrary
to
custome
,
but
his
own
expectation
,
since
formerly
all
her
discourses
were
rather
markes
of
civility
,
then
testimonies
of
affection
;
stood
some
time
amazed
,
as
if
his
imagination
could
not
be
satisfied
in
that
truth
which
his
eares
heard
uttered
;
But
after
he
had
a
little
put
off
that
pleasing
distraction
that
anew
captivated
his
senses
,
though
in
a
trembling
posture
,
he
returned
her
this
answer
.
Truly
Madam
said
he
,
if
the
greatest
Emperour
in
the
world
had
been
so
bountifully
repayed
for
whole
ages
of
attendance
upon
so
beautifull
a
goddesse
,
certainly
he
would
have
made
no
question
of
his
satisfaction
,
but
rather
have
given
his
whole
domination
of
the
earth
for
such
a
purchase
;
much
lesse
must
I
esteem
my selfe
injured
that
only
live
by
your
pleasure
.
O
my
Lord
answered
the
Princesse
,
since
your
expressions
flye
so
high
a
pitch
,
I
shall
begin
to
think
it
necessary
to
defend
my
reputation
against
your
complements
;
but
yet
upon
better
consideration
,
I
am
of
opinion
it
is
much
safer
to
confesse
my selfe
overcome
by
your
courtefie
,
then
venture
more
blowes
in
counequall
a
combate
,
where
your
wit
will
be
sure
to
have
the
victory
:
And
with
these
words
taking
him
by
the
hand
she
led
him
into
a
faire
Balcony
that
had
a
large
prospect
over
the
goodly
River
of
Pactole
,
where
long
they
had
not
remained
(
the
Princesse
in
the
meane
time
casting
her
eyes
downe
the
River
,
upon
whose
bankes
was
seated
that
pleasant
house
of
her
Fathers
that
first
gave
Cassianus
entertainment
when
he
came
into
Lydia
)
before
she
used
this
language
,
though
a
sweet
shower
of
teares
opened
the
passage
for
her
words
:
I
cannot
said
she
but
with
some
griefe
remember
the
innocent
times
that
gave
both
you
and
me
meeting
in
yonder
place
,
when
my
Father
seemed
to
triumph
in
glory
,
that
is
now
unfortunately
metamorphosed
into
a
Garrison
of
Souldiers
,
who
perchance
neither
honour
dignity
,
nor
know
goodnesse
,
much
lesse
practise
vertue
.
Indeed
said
Cassianus
,
as
I
must
confesse
those
respects
I
then
received
from
your
most
noble
Father
,
and
my
affectionate
Uncle
were
farre
beyond
my
poore
deserts
,
which
gives
me
more
occasion
at
present
to
lament
his
condition
,
in
being
Subject
to
such
a
cruelty
,
that
no
power
of
mine
is
able
to
redeem
,
yet
I
cannot
also
but
remember
my
own
losses
at
that
time
,
since
even
then
I
quitted
the
liberty
of
my
soule
,
that
untill
this
present
I
could
never
recover
againe
;
though
I
have
sought
all
wayes
of
redemption
;
and
unlesse
you
prove
more
mercifull
then
the
Kings
oppressors
,
I
shall
not
only
remaine
in
as
great
a
captivity
,
but
have
cause
to
accuse
you
of
the
like
Tyranny
,
though
I
dare
not
be
so
bold
in
my
complaints
.
But
yet
Cousin
said
Cloria
,
I
must
make
a
great
deal
of
difference
in
the
nature
of
your
sufferings
,
though
I
should
grant
the
quality
;
for
as
the
King
hath
by
all
meanes
possible
strived
to
give
his
oppressors
satisfaction
,
provided
it
may
not
be
against
the
right
of
his
Successors
,
and
good
of
his
people
;
so
you
of
the
other
side
violently
ayme
at
your
own
content
,
to
the
injuring
perhaps
of
anothers
Title
.
Alas
Madam
answered
Cassianus
,
was
I
not
your
first
and
last
lover
?
the
silent
rocks
can
give
sufficient
testimonies
of
the
one
,
when
at
that
famous
hunting
,
I
retired
under
their
protections
,
only
to
make
my
complaints
,
and
the
whole
Senate
can
witnesse
the
other
:
by
my
importunities
;
wherefore
no
interest
is
to
be
esteemed
equall
to
my
pretentions
,
either
in
affection
or
right
.
Alasse
,
alasse
answered
the
Princesse
,
you
never
let
me
know
those
powerfull
affections
before
other
respects
had
taken
full
possession
of
that
heart
which
became
also
in
some
sort
a
prisoner
not
to
be
released
,
who
perhaps
might
as
well
have
been
your
Captive
,
if
your
omissions
had
not
proved
most
unfortunate
to
your
purposes
.
And
whereas
you
say
,
you
are
my
last
lover
,
I
beseech
you
doe
but
consider
Farezius
intentions
,
and
looke
upon
his
actions
,
and
you
will
finde
both
violence
and
power
hath
discovered
a
later
sceane
,
then
what
you
moved
in
,
when
you
saved
the
old
Flamins
life
,
so
that
I
must
tell
you
,
that
unlesse
punctually
you
observe
the
condition
according
to
your
former
agreement
,
which
was
never
to
presse
my
love
to
any
conclusion
,
if
Narcissus
were
living
,
to
whose
living
,
to
whose
memory
I
must
still
observe
that
decorum
,
I
vow
by
the
gods
never
to
entertaine
any
motions
from
your
addresses
,
much
lesse
give
any
consent
to
a
future
marriage
;
besides
you
must
performe
those
actions
that
may
render
you
capable
of
satisfaction
,
as
my selfe
freedome
in
granting
;
which
can
never
be
as
long
as
the
Generall
hath
opportunity
to
prevent
and
power
to
constraine
.
Wherefore
in
briefe
,
you
are
to
study
some
opposition
answerable
to
his
greatnesse
for
both
our
advantages
,
whereby
the
better
to
merit
my
love
,
as
to
shew
your selfe
worthy
the
name
of
a
Prince
of
so
great
an
extraction
.
These
discourses
of
Cloria
could
not
chuse
but
nettle
the
ears
of
Cassianus
towards
the
resolution
of
sufficient
ambitions
;
since
hitherto
he
conceived
himselfe
to
have
been
over
sloathfull
,
as
well
in
her
love
as
his
own
honour
;
so
that
standing
some
time
in
a
deep
muse
,
as
if
he
intended
to
fetch
his
determinations
from
his
very
soule
,
at
last
he
broake
out
into
this
language
:
Most
faire
and
wise
Princesse
said
he
,
as
already
I
have
promised
my
best
endeavours
with
the
expence
of
my
deare
bloud
(
in
which
you
have
the
dearest
interest
)
in
your
service
against
the
proud
Generall
;
so
I
must
be
prescribed
by
your
directions
to
such
limitations
and
performances
as
I
am
to
observe
for
feare
,
that
else
my
actions
may
either
endanger
your
safety
to
be
more
valued
then
the
worlds
Empire
,
or
ruine
your
Fathers
hopes
,
whose
sufferings
cannot
be
exampled
.
Therefore
I
beseech
you
let
me
know
how
farre
your
pleasure
may
travell
in
that
journey
I
intend
to
make
against
the
pride
of
ambitious
Farezius
.
Cousin
said
Cloria
,
as
I
shall
leave
my
Governesses
experience
to
treat
with
you
about
the
particulars
,
so
of
the
other
side
,
I
am
content
to
give
you
these
assurances
of
my
affections
,
that
after
Narcissus
you
shall
have
the
next
place
in
my
consideration
,
provided
you
think
of
my
Fathers
sufferings
,
and
be
mindfull
of
your
own
honour
,
since
without
him
I
cannot
give
away
my selfe
,
and
without
your
reputation
you
are
but
halfe
a
Prince
.
Upon
these
conditions
you
shall
find
my
Lodgings
ever
ready
to
entertaine
your
visits
,
so
they
may
be
seasonable
and
not
scandalous
,
which
I
believe
are
favours
sufficient
to
nourish
your
hopes
,
according
to
those
expressions
you
received
under
my
hand
in
that
Letter
,
your
seeming
neglect
of
my
condition
forced
from
me
,
which
is
all
for
the
present
I
have
to
say
upon
this
theame
,
unlesse
it
be
to
adde
to
your
consideration
,
how
is
it
possible
you
can
either
reape
fruits
from
my
affection
,
if
Farezius
continue
great
?
or
what
probability
have
you
again
to
recover
your
lost
Country
of
Iberia
,
if
all
regality
be
supprest
?
since
in
the
one
his
greatnesse
may
perhaps
constraine
me
to
an
unwilling
consent
for
my
owne
preservation
,
as
the
other
by
this
meanes
may
so
fill
Lydia
with
popular
desires
,
that
your
birth
and
bloud
,
much
lesse
dignity
shall
finde
no
entertainment
in
their
considerations
.
Wherefore
I
say
,
joyn
your
thoughts
only
to
such
designes
as
shall
be
contrived
by
the
Nobility
with
the
State
of
Syria
;
wherein
the
Myssians
seem
also
to
have
a
share
,
in
regard
the
Lords
governe
all
in
their
Country
,
and
by
that
meanes
you
will
best
please
my
desires
.
Although
Cassianus
could
not
disprove
the
Princesse
Rhetorick
,
for
that
it
taught
him
a
duty
belonging
to
his
quality
,
which
he
had
not
hitherto
altogether
followed
,
since
he
more
looked
upon
his
own
private
concernments
,
in
complying
with
his
Uncles
enemies
,
then
those
rights
that
belonged
to
the
dignity
and
honour
of
Princes
,
of
which
number
himselfe
was
eminent
by
bloud
and
alliance
:
yet
in
regard
of
those
hopes
that
Cloria
gave
him
by
her
faire
language
,
and
good
entertainment
,
he
was
sufficiently
pleased
with
her
discourse
,
for
that
it
spake
at
leastwise
liking
,
if
not
love
to
his
eares
:
however
,
it
seemed
mixt
with
some
reserved
conditions
,
which
he
was
content
only
to
interpret
bashfull
assurances
,
though
the
gods
were
privy
to
other
intentions
,
that
could
not
be
altered
;
wherefore
as
if
joyfully
assured
by
the
Princesses
words
,
and
impatient
of
more
delay
to
put
in
execution
what
he
was
enjoyned
after
he
had
returned
humble
thanks
not
only
for
her
free
expressions
,
but
the
confidence
she
had
in
his
services
,
with
some
other
complements
belonging
to
his
love
,
and
fit
for
the
season
,
kissing
her
faire
hands
he
tooke
his
leave
,
vowing
the
absolute
performance
of
all
her
commands
to
the
uttermost
of
his
power
:
but
being
gone
,
the
Princesse
used
these
words
to
Roxana
,
fearing
belike
her
own
dissimulation
was
too
great
a
crime
.
Doe
you
believe
said
she
,
that
the
gods
will
be
content
with
my
hypocrisie
,
in
making
this
poor
Princes
affections
,
a
stale
to
our
other
purposes
,
since
you
know
my
vertuous
engagements
are
so
farre
from
suffering
me
to
become
his
wife
,
that
my
heart
dares
fcarce
think
of
such
a
perswasion
in
any
kinde
;
and
as
little
should
I
be
willing
such
a
report
should
reach
the
eares
of
absent
Narcissus
,
who
perhaps
will
accuse
my
constancy
for
having
only
deceived
,
in
that
nature
for
his
better
advantage
:
no
no
Roxana
be
confident
,
as
plaine
dealing
is
best
in
all
morall
actions
,
so
certainly
in
love
the
contrary
procures
either
hate
,
jealousie
,
or
despaire
,
which
may
produce
effects
dangerous
,
if
not
destructive
.
After
the
old
woman
with
a
kind
of
smile
had
heard
out
her
Mistresses
discourse
,
she
returned
her
this
answer
.
As
I
cannot
deny
said
she
,
but
dissimulation
in
it selfe
,
is
a
flattering
vice
that
steales
upon
many
dispositions
with
certaine
possible
if
not
probable
signes
of
lawfulnesse
,
because
they
are
contented
to
be
perswaded
by
their
imaginations
,
they
meane
no
hurt
in
their
intention
,
which
notwithstanding
I
must
confesse
,
destroyes
all
morall
conversation
;
yet
in
all
respects
of
the
contrary
,
for
a
person
to
uncover
his
breast
upon
every
occasion
,
without
leaving
himselfe
a
defence
against
his
crafty
enemy
,
were
a
madnesse
capable
to
ruine
his
fortunes
as
often
as
the
opportunity
presented
the
meanes
.
Wherefore
Madam
,
in
the
generall
I
can
only
give
this
rule
,
when
a
body
is
left
at
liberty
whether
he
will
speak
or
no
,
let
him
rather
hold
his
peace
,
then
so
much
as
intimate
a
falshood
by
his
words
,
or
in
friendly
conversation
appeare
not
candid
and
satisfactory
:
but
if
in
deepe
examinations
that
may
produce
great
consequences
either
of
good
or
hurt
,
for
my
part
I
am
of
opinion
,
all
art
possible
may
be
used
to
avoyde
the
determination
,
provided
a
direct
untruth
be
not
admitted
;
or
the
damage
of
a
third
party
sustained
by
the
concealement
.
But
Roxana
said
the
Princesse
,
for
that
you
intend
this
discourse
for
my
satisfaction
,
I
pray
let
us
apply
it
to
my
case
with
my
Cousin
,
whom
you
see
I
have
wonne
into
a
beliefe
of
what
I
never
intend
.
T
is
true
said
Roxana
,
however
it
doth
not
appeare
you
have
engaged
your selfe
either
by
words
or
actions
;
and
therefore
it
is
not
any
thing
you
have
done
hath
constrained
or
perswaded
his
beliefe
;
wherefore
it
ought
only
to
rest
upon
the
fault
of
his
own
fancy
,
if
he
prove
deceived
in
his
expectation
hereafter
.
Besides
,
it
may
be
considered
,
that
as
he
hath
been
some
part
of
the
occasion
of
your
suffering
unjustly
,
so
is
it
fit
he
should
endure
a
little
pennance
for
that
offence
;
and
put
case
it
may
be
granted
that
you
have
after
a
manner
deluded
his
thoughts
by
the
Letter
you
wrote
him
,
wherein
you
seeme
to
envite
his
addresses
to
a
new
Courtship
,
yet
it
cannot
be
esteemed
false
,
for
that
you
may
have
a
resolution
to
entertaine
his
affection
,
if
my
Lord
Narcissus
(
whom
the
Gods
defend
)
should
miscarry
.
I
but
there
Governesse
,
replyed
Cloria
lyes
hidden
the
deceit
,
since
my
resolutions
are
fixed
never
to
make
any
other
choyce
in
life
or
death
.
Why
then
answered
Roxana
,
at
the
worst
you
doe
but
like
an
honest
person
in
danger
to
be
robbed
,
that
takes
some
liberty
to
make
thieves
fall
out
,
whereby
to
be
the
better
secured
:
And
seeing
that
Cassianus
cannot
be
prejudiced
by
the
practice
,
but
on
the
contrary
reape
benefit
,
for
that
his
fortunes
seem
to
depend
upon
regallity
and
Nobility
,
which
the
rude
multitude
would
destroy
;
I
see
no
reason
why
you
should
possesse
your
thoughts
with
such
scruples
.
Well
,
well
said
the
Princesse
,
as
you
are
my
Governesse
,
in
this
doubt
I
will
perswade
my
conscience
to
observe
your
principles
;
however
,
the
gods
may
punish
us
both
for
our
over-much
boldnesse
,
thus
to
play
too
freely
with
those
injunctions
that
concerne
religion
;
or
at
leastwise
may
have
some
relation
to
it
;
however
,
I
cannot
deny
,
but
that
there
is
a
necessity
in
my
dissimulation
at
this
present
;
and
the
rather
am
I
content
a
little
to
practice
the
faculty
,
for
that
I
know
Cassianus
can
sustaine
no
prejudice
by
my
intentions
.
Notwithstanding
these
and
other
reasons
which
Roxana
used
at
divers
times
,
proved
sufficient
motives
to
retaine
her
mistresse
firme
in
prosecuting
their
designes
;
yet
understanding
by
Creses
amongst
other
discourses
,
that
the
Duke
of
Cyprus
was
dead
,
she
could
not
in
some
sort
but
be
doubtfull
of
the
safety
of
Narcissus
,
for
that
they
had
heard
nothing
from
him
since
his
separation
;
however
,
she
was
extreamly
carefull
to
keep
these
thoughts
from
entering
into
the
bosome
of
the
already
too
much
troubled
Princesse
,
though
in
the
interim
she
omitted
no
opportunity
whereby
to
instruct
Cassianus
in
that
part
he
was
to
play
by
their
appointment
against
Farezius
.
Cassianus
as
I
said
,
having
received
both
commands
from
Cloria
,
and
instructions
by
Roxana
,
consulted
oftentimes
with
himselfe
as
well
as
with
her
how
he
might
best
put
them
in
execution
,
untill
at
last
he
fell
upon
this
resolution
;
that
as
Dimogoras
his
trusty
friend
,
had
been
most
injur'd
by
the
preferment
of
Farezius
,
having
outed
him
of
his
place
and
command
in
the
Army
,
so
would
he
be
the
fittest
person
to
be
communicated
with
all
,
concerning
the
likeliest
way
to
prosecute
his
designes
,
according
to
the
directions
he
had
received
:
To
this
effect
he
intended
to
make
him
acquainted
with
the
hopes
he
had
lately
received
to
obtaine
the
favour
of
the
Princesse
Cloria
in
his
pretended
love
;
The
rather
for
that
he
knew
he
was
not
only
a
man
who
had
a
principall
interest
among
the
Nobility
and
chiefe
Senators
,
but
was
also
extreamly
beloved
in
the
Army
,
by
most
of
the
common
Souldiers
,
that
were
not
absolute
creatures
of
Farezius
:
wherefore
one
morning
before
Dimogoras
was
gone
out
of
his
chamber
,
Cassianus
came
unto
him
with
a
smiling
countenance
,
and
this
language
in
his
mouth
:
Dimogoras
said
he
,
as
it
were
something
impertinent
againe
for
me
,
to
reiterate
the
multitude
of
my
obligations
to
your
endeavours
,
since
they
are
not
only
generally
knowne
to
all
the
world
,
but
divers
times
have
been
acknowledged
by
my
expressions
in
particular
:
so
my
businesse
at
present
is
to
make
you
acquainted
anew
,
both
with
my
thoughts
and
intentions
concerning
some
late
passages
:
I
came
into
Lydia
as
you
know
by
your
procurement
to
prosecute
my
affections
to
the
faire
Princesse
the
Kings
daughter
when
she
was
taken
prisoner
by
the
Senates
Fleet
in
Pergame
.
T
is
true
my
courtships
in
that
nature
,
were
something
retarded
,
if
not
absulutely
laid
aside
untill
the
present
,
by
reason
of
a
certaine
correspondency
between
her
,
and
Narcissus
the
Duke
of
Cyprus
sonne
:
This
gives
me
occasion
to
tell
you
,
that
however
I
found
her
then
backward
to
my
wishes
;
either
proceeding
from
her
flattering
fancy
that
Narcissus
was
living
,
or
conceiving
her
own
condition
was
much
more
secure
in
the
Senates
custody
,
then
at
present
under
the
jurisdiction
of
the
Army
and
Souldiers
,
or
rather
I
may
say
being
violently
prest
to
some
inconveniences
,
by
reason
of
the
extraordinary
greatnesse
,
(
both
in
command
and
authority
)
of
Farezius
,
who
as
it
should
seem
pretends
something
violently
to
her
love
and
affection
;
Now
she
is
become
more
tractable
,
and
willing
to
entertaine
those
protestations
of
mine
,
whose
effects
I
have
ever
consecrated
to
her
service
,
since
I
had
the
honour
to
be
entertained
by
the
good
will
of
the
Lydian
people
:
I
need
not
trouble
you
much
with
the
repetitions
of
your
own
received
injuries
by
reason
of
the
generalls
greatnesse
,
notwithstanding
all
those
gallant
services
,
which
you
have
performed
,
in
the
defence
and
safety
of
the
Commonwealth
,
neither
shall
I
mention
the
consequences
thereby
,
that
threaten
a
kind
of
destruction
,
to
all
the
Nobility
of
the
Kingdome
;
for
that
I
know
your
judgement
,
and
their
apprehensions
,
cannot
possbly
be
wanting
in
this
particular
:
only
I
must
needs
tell
you
that
the
Princesse
Cloria
her selfe
,
extreamly
wonders
how
it
is
possible
,
you
should
dispence
so
much
with
your
honour
and
reputation
as
to
beare
those
indignities
that
have
cast
you
from
your
authority
and
command
,
with
such
an
extreame
quiet
pacification
?
Are
the
Nobility
said
he
of
Lydia
,
so
much
degenerated
in
their
soules
and
spirits
,
as
easily
in
this
manner
to
quit
their
honour
,
to
the
lowest
conditions
the
people
shall
direct
?
what
is
become
of
the
magnanimity
of
mind
,
once
so
frequently
raigning
in
the
breasts
of
the
better
sort
of
men
in
this
Kingdome
,
that
is
now
lost
in
a
chaos
of
confusion
with
the
rabble
or
common
multitude
?
doth
a
little
sensuall
feare
,
bury
all
considerations
of
valour
and
gallantry
in
this
Nation
?
people
being
only
given
to
eate
and
drinke
,
without
affectation
of
greatnesse
or
apprehension
of
disgrace
:
If
it
be
so
my
Lord
in
the
generall
,
my
words
will
be
as
much
in
vaine
to
be
uttered
,
as
your
life
in
effect
will
be
miserable
in
the
future
:
but
I
have
more
confidence
in
the
courage
of
Dimogoras
,
both
for
his
own
sake
and
my
good
:
This
being
said
,
Cassianus
rested
silent
to
heare
what
reply
Dimogoras
would
make
.
Dimogoras
I
may
say
continued
altogether
mute
for
something
a
long
space
:
his
eyes
sparkling
out
in
the
interim
neverthelesse
a
certaine
kinde
of
seeming
desire
of
revenge
,
though
his
body
overgrowne
with
flesh
and
humour
,
appeared
not
to
be
much
inclinable
to
action
:
but
being
wakened
to
some
determinate
answer
,
by
the
importunities
of
Cassianus
(
who
belike
himselfe
had
been
strongly
urged
by
Roxana
,
to
be
speedy
in
the
execution
of
her
designe
)
at
last
he
blutterd
out
this
reply
.
My
Lord
said
he
,
I
must
confesse
,
that
both
my selfe
and
the
rest
of
the
Nobility
of
Lydia
according
to
the
Princesses
apprehension
,
(
whose
Father
however
I
love
not
,
nor
ever
shall
)
have
wound
their
dignities
and
honours
,
into
such
a
labyrinth
of
inconvenience
,
by
complying
so
much
with
the
violent
,
and
confused
humours
of
the
common
people
,
that
we
have
in
a
manner
suffered
Farezius
with
the
rest
of
his
faction
,
to
overthrow
already
the
most
essentiall
part
of
our
hereditary
honours
and
priviledges
;
and
by
that
meanes
are
become
lesse
powerfull
,
to
act
any
thing
with
advantage
either
to
our selves
or
others
:
neverthelesse
perhaps
,
I
may
yet
set
on
foot
something
of
faction
amongst
the
Souldiers
,
(
if
they
have
not
wholly
lost
the
remembrance
,
that
I
once
commanded
amongst
them
)
that
may
perchance
produce
effects
tending
to
those
purposes
you
have
designed
:
with
these
words
he
entered
into
some
rage
and
passion
,
as
it
were
out
of
the
very
apprehension
of
his
own
losse
of
reputation
,
in
being
so
disgracefully
turned
out
of
his
command
:
presently
after
this
he
tooke
his
leave
of
Cassianus
,
as
pretending
he
would
goe
to
the
Senate
,
to
try
his
friends
constitutions
concerning
those
designes
he
intended
:
Cassianus
was
glad
he
had
got
thus
much
from
his
resolutions
(
for
notwithstanding
he
did
not
at
all
doubt
his
affection
,
yet
he
might
have
some
cause
to
suspect
his
activity
)
so
that
he
determined
himselfe
also
,
to
use
the
best
interest
he
had
,
both
with
the
Lords
and
the
rest
of
the
Senators
,
whom
he
knew
to
be
of
a
contrary
faction
to
Farezius
:
withall
he
had
upon
all
occasions
free
admittance
into
the
Princesses
lodgings
,
according
to
her
own
allowance
and
Roxana's
directions
;
which
as
it
may
be
thought
,
sufficiently
contented
his
apprehension
.
It
was
not
long
before
Dimogoras
and
the
rest
of
the
Nobility
,
raised
considerable
factions
and
mutinies
in
the
Army
,
amongst
the
Souldiers
,
they
also
being
enflamed
by
their
want
of
pay
,
and
not
performance
of
other
conditions
promised
them
upon
their
first
taking
up
Armes
against
the
King
,
being
since
renewed
againe
to
their
hopes
,
when
he
was
delivered
out
of
prison
,
by
some
Troopes
sent
to
that
purpose
,
which
suddenly
called
away
both
Farezius
and
Hercrombrotus
to
the
appeasing
of
the
stirs
.
Though
Farezius
,
did
with
faire
language
and
promising
words
in
a
short
speech
,
seemingly
pacifie
most
of
their
discontents
,
yet
Hercombrotus
,
who
was
of
a
more
violent
and
active
nature
,
finding
many
of
the
Troopes
continue
still
their
mutinies
,
and
insolencies
against
their
command
,
suddenly
flew
in
amongst
those
Souldiers
with
fury
in
his
looks
,
and
terrour
in
his
countenance
,
where
presently
seizing
upon
two
or
three
of
those
that
appeared
most
refractory
and
disobedient
,
he
delivered
them
instantly
over
to
officers
to
be
executed
and
punished
:
After
this
he
not
only
offered
a
free
pardon
to
the
rest
,
but
also
promised
them
a
reall
performance
of
all
their
just
expectations
,
provided
that
from
thence
forward
,
they
would
continue
obedient
and
constant
in
their
affections
.
After
this
,
when
both
Farezius
and
Hercrombrotus
were
on
their
way
againe
towards
the
City
of
Sardis
,
an
officer
of
the
Army
began
this
discourse
to
his
Generall
:
Sir
said
he
,
by
this
late
mutiny
,
you
may
see
the
danger
not
only
of
Dimogoras
interest
amongst
the
Souldiers
,
but
the
power
he
hath
with
those
of
the
better
sort
of
Senators
;
from
which
originall
,
I
suppose
,
hath
proceeded
in
part
these
now
appeased
troubles
in
the
Campe
:
of
the
other
side
can
you
possibly
conceive
that
after
so
many
testimonies
of
disaffection
from
Euarchus
the
King
,
he
will
be
ever
brought
to
be
either
entire
for
the
Souldiers
advantage
,
or
be
weaned
from
that
affection
without
reason
,
he
hath
alwayes
expressed
to
be
in
his
nature
,
for
his
false
and
ungratefull
country
men
the
Myssians
?
in
like
manner
,
with
what
confidence
can
we
any
more
trust
the
actions
of
the
wealthy
City
of
Sardis
,
when
as
they
did
not
only
refuse
,
to
open
their
purses
to
our
occasions
in
our
greatest
necessities
,
but
denyed
us
enterance
into
their
Towne
,
by
the
perswasion
of
those
Senators
that
we
have
now
sent
to
banishment
?
These
things
being
granted
to
be
true
,
the
next
consideration
ought
to
be
had
of
the
remedy
for
future
prevention
:
In
the
first
place
,
to
compasse
our
designes
,
and
procure
our
security
,
we
must
endeavour
to
joyne
with
a
prevailing
party
in
the
Senate
,
or
at
leastwise
make
them
so
by
the
Souldiers
power
,
who
may
passe
an
absolute
decree
,
to
have
no
more
Treaties
with
the
King
,
in
regard
that
those
hopes
and
feares
,
doe
not
a
little
distract
the
whole
Kingdome
,
from
relying
absolutely
upon
our
commands
and
jurisdiction
,
as
you
know
most
necessary
for
the
peoples
safety
:
in
the
next
place
we
are
totally
to
suppresse
the
interest
of
Dimogoras
for
the
present
,
and
the
Nobillities
priviledges
in
the
future
,
which
as
I
must
tell
you
keep
up
such
an
opinion
amongst
all
sorts
of
people
,
concerning
their
greatnesse
and
stabillity
,
that
it
will
be
a
very
difficult
matter
,
to
act
any
thing
either
for
the
Kingdomes
good
or
the
Armies
advantage
:
Lastly
,
we
must
not
only
drive
the
Myssian
Commissioners
out
of
our
Country
,
who
only
wait
occasions
to
suck
up
all
the
benefit
to
themselves
and
Nation
,
which
the
Lydians
at
any
time
shall
either
fight
or
toyle
for
,
but
in
some
terrifying
way
or
other
procure
money
from
the
Citizens
of
Sardis
,
whereby
to
give
just
and
fitting
content
to
those
faithfull
and
loving
Souldiers
,
that
have
fought
so
many
bloudy
Battels
,
and
obtained
multitudes
of
signall
victories
in
their
Countreyes
behalfe
,
against
their
numerous
enemies
.
Though
Farezius
by
reason
of
his
melancholly
and
silent
nature
,
made
no
great
reply
at
the
present
,
to
those
reasons
that
had
been
delivered
,
yet
it
was
not
many
dayes
after
their
arrivall
at
Sardis
,
before
an
absolute
decree
passed
the
Senate
,
that
not
only
there
should
be
no
more
Treaties
,
or
addresses
made
unto
Euarchus
,
concerning
any
agreement
either
in
the
generall
or
particular
,
but
it
was
also
ordered
,
that
it
should
be
esteemed
a
crime
of
a
most
high
consequence
,
for
any
person
so
much
as
to
make
tender
of
any
proposition
to
that
effect
,
to
the
rest
of
the
Senators
there
assembled
:
which
resolution
was
quickly
published
over
the
whole
Kingdome
of
Lydia
by
a
formall
proclamation
.
Of
the
other
side
Dimogoras
finding
,
both
his
interest
in
the
Army
and
his
credit
with
the
Senators
did
not
any
way
suit
with
his
ambition
and
expectation
,
upon
the
very
apprehension
(
as
t
was
thought
)
of
these
apparant
disgraces
,
in
a
very
few
dayes
ended
his
life
in
this
world
;
however
there
were
some
that
not
only
gave
it
out
,
but
believed
,
that
he
had
been
poysoned
,
to
prevent
a
farther
trouble
and
danger
to
the
Kingdome
:
This
also
gave
occasion
to
Prince
Cassianus
within
a
very
short
time
after
,
to
quit
personally
the
Country
of
Lydia
,
as
perhaps
supposing
,
now
his
chiefe
friend
and
Favourite
Dimogoras
was
gone
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Lords
not
being
in
a
capacity
to
support
his
honour
and
designes
,
against
the
Souldiers
,
in
the
Princesse
Clorias
behalfe
,
it
was
to
little
purpose
any
longer
to
prosecute
his
pretended
love
.
Neverthelesse
the
Nobillity
,
with
many
other
of
the
Senators
of
the
same
faction
,
prepared
themselves
to
give
the
body
of
Dimogoras
,
most
stately
and
glorious
Funerals
:
To
this
intent
,
when
the
day
came
,
all
attired
in
black
,
they
met
the
corps
with
a
world
of
ceremony
,
and
so
conducted
it
through
a
multitude
of
people
,
to
the
place
ordained
for
that
purpose
,
where
being
placed
according
to
the
custome
of
other
Generalls
,
the
flames
quickly
consumed
the
pyles
whilst
that
which
was
immortall
,
had
a
farther
account
to
give
,
concerning
his
actions
and
thoughts
during
his
life
.
When
the
Princesse
Cloria
understood
of
this
strange
and
unexpected
law
,
not
only
pronounced
in
the
Senate
,
but
published
all
over
the
Kingdome
,
she
began
now
to
repent
her
,
of
her
too
much
beliefe
given
to
the
Kings
enemies
,
notwithstanding
any
perswasion
whatsoever
,
she
had
entertained
in
her
thoughts
;
and
consequently
had
more
cause
a
great
deale
to
doubt
her
owne
security
,
having
no
other
defence
left
her
but
what
she
could
gather
from
the
faithfull
and
wise
Councells
of
her
intrusted
governesse
Roxana
,
which
was
the
occasion
,
that
one
day
having
for
the
most
part
spent
her
whole
store
of
passion
,
she
used
this
kinde
of
despairing
discourse
unto
her
.
Truly
Roxana
said
she
,
as
there
might
be
noted
at
first
,
a
strong
jealousie
amongst
the
Souldiers
,
by
the
strict
gard
set
upon
the
Kings
person
,
so
this
last
action
makes
me
feare
,
that
there
is
some
prevailing
designe
,
as
well
against
our
liberties
as
his
dominion
,
which
we
shall
be
scarce
able
to
prevent
by
any
industry
or
assistance
;
for
as
I
cannot
rely
much
upon
the
Lords
power
,
by
reason
they
have
altogether
lost
their
authority
,
by
severing
their
interests
at
the
first
from
their
Princes
prerogative
,
nothing
but
to
comply
with
their
own
ambition
and
spleen
;
so
is
there
as
little
to
be
hoped
for
,
from
the
endeavours
of
this
great
and
rich
City
of
Sardis
,
considering
their
late
carriages
,
when
Farezius
with
his
triumphant
Army
,
not
only
entered
their
Walls
without
resistance
,
but
were
content
to
receive
his
absolute
commands
,
without
the
least
dispute
,
belonging
to
their
long
enjoyed
priviledges
,
never
as
yet
questioned
by
any
former
Prince
or
power
;
these
representations
being
knowne
and
granted
to
be
the
effects
of
the
late
transactions
,
what
probabilities
remaine
,
for
the
recovery
of
my
fathers
rights
,
though
it
should
be
opinionated
,
that
we
our selves
were
out
of
all
danger
personally
;
since
the
Kings
party
appears
,
not
to
have
either
abillity
or
will
to
doe
him
good
;
And
Lydia
being
strongly
united
under
the
present
jurisdiction
,
what
forraigne
industry
and
endeavour
soever
,
can
worke
any
considerable
effects
to
his
advantage
?
considering
the
many
brave
Vessels
and
shipping
that
are
alwayes
ready
for
defence
and
resistance
,
upon
the
Carian
and
Ionian
shoares
,
to
oppose
either
sudden
invasion
or
continued
hostility
.
When
Roxana
had
for
some
time
rested
silent
with
teares
in
her
eyes
,
she
returned
her
this
answer
:
Lady
said
she
,
you
must
then
give
me
leave
to
blame
your
superstitious
modesty
(
as
I
may
call
it
)
in
not
suffering
your
Uncle
Orsames
to
have
performed
those
ceremonies
belonging
to
your
Nuptials
at
Memphis
;
which
perhaps
in
part
if
not
totally
,
would
have
prevented
these
inconveniences
.
Indeed
Governesse
replyed
the
Princesse
,
although
perhaps
you
esteeme
those
decorums
of
fitting
duty
,
which
I
shall
be
ever
ready
to
render
my
Father
and
Mother
,
but
bashfull
superstitions
,
yet
I
can
assure
you
,
I
shall
never
be
so
much
wanting
to
my
own
honour
,
as
rather
not
a
thousand
times
to
venture
my
deerest
life
,
then
to
give
away
my selfe
to
any
love
whatsoever
,
without
their
inward
consent
and
publike
approbation
:
but
let
us
for
the
present
leave
that
subject
,
and
only
fall
upon
the
consideration
,
or
the
meanes
,
whereby
the
King
may
be
redeemed
from
his
miseries
,
which
Rhetorick
would
not
only
farre
better
please
my
eares
,
but
be
a
much
more
profitable
discourse
in
my
opinion
,
since
in
the
other
point
,
I
am
resolved
still
to
remaine
obstinate
,
notwithstanding
any
perswasion
to
the
contrary
.
Truly
said
Roxana
,
as
I
must
needs
confesse
,
the
thing
it selfe
is
difficult
to
bring
about
and
the
wayes
more
uncertaine
to
know
how
;
so
of
the
other
side
,
I
am
so
farre
from
believing
the
impossibility
of
the
Kings
restoration
to
his
ancient
dignity
,
that
according
to
my
owne
thoughts
I
shall
give
you
very
probable
reasons
,
whereby
to
perswade
you
to
it
,
if
my
fancy
doth
not
much
out
goe
my
judgement
.
For
although
I
cannot
deny
,
but
that
the
Countrey
of
Lydia
being
throughly
united
under
a
well
setled
government
,
with
the
addition
of
Ionia
,
and
Caria
,
that
afford
so
many
considerable
havens
,
furnished
with
multitude
of
shipping
,
is
a
condition
scarce
to
be
attempted
by
any
power
;
yet
considering
the
impatience
of
the
peoples
natures
,
with
the
daily
oppressions
of
them
by
the
heavy
weight
of
Taxations
,
a
quick
division
will
be
wrought
in
the
hearts
of
those
,
that
must
of
necessity
be
wonne
to
the
change
of
lawes
,
and
government
before
the
ancient
constitutions
(
by
which
the
Subjects
have
formerly
lived
happily
for
so
many
ages
)
can
be
totally
taken
away
:
However
for
the
present
,
perhaps
either
feare
or
hope
exercises
so
farre
mens
thoughts
,
that
hardly
as
yet
have
they
leasure
for
consideration
:
but
when
as
,
I
say
,
they
shall
finde
this
is
like
to
be
perpetuall
,
they
will
with
much
violence
desire
againe
their
old
subjection
,
though
at
first
they
were
foolishly
perswaded
to
seeke
a
new
government
.
And
more
especially
if
those
two
great
Monarchs
of
Syria
,
and
Aegypt
once
make
that
accord
,
that
all
Asia
attends
with
a
greedy
expectation
,
which
may
soon
be
effected
,
since
the
King
of
Armenia
hath
already
agreed
with
his
discontented
Princes
,
and
also
hath
condiscended
to
give
satisfaction
to
the
Scythian
Crowne
,
whereby
to
deliver
his
Countrey
absolutely
from
that
power
,
that
hath
so
many
yeares
molested
it
with
its
armes
.
But
Roxana
said
the
Princesse
,
what
will
those
agreements
conduce
to
my
fathers
benefit
,
when
every
Prince
regards
only
his
own
concernments
?
besides
their
extreame
jealousie
of
one
anothers
glory
will
not
suffer
them
to
undertake
any
conquest
joyntly
:
And
put
case
they
should
accord
constantly
in
their
purposes
,
yet
when
the
people
of
Lydia
shall
see
themselves
ready
to
be
invaded
by
a
forraigne
power
,
they
will
certainly
more
strongly
conforme
their
obediences
,
to
this
jurisdiction
they
now
live
under
,
whereby
the
better
to
prevent
a
new
threatning
danger
.
It
is
true
said
Roxana
untill
the
Subjects
be
made
more
desperate
in
their
sufferings
,
the
people
will
not
be
content
to
trust
strangers
with
their
liberty
;
but
yet
the
assistance
that
is
desired
from
forraigne
Princes
needs
not
to
consist
wholly
in
numerous
Armies
,
but
in
small
and
frequent
supplies
both
of
men
and
moneyes
,
which
joyned
with
the
Kings
party
,
and
laying
hold
of
the
many
discontents
already
ingendred
in
the
hearts
of
most
,
cannot
but
conduce
exceedingly
to
the
overthrow
of
this
new
government
.
Besides
there
is
another
benefit
that
may
be
expected
from
other
Countreyes
,
being
at
open
difference
with
the
Senate
of
Lydia
;
and
that
is
,
denying
their
Merchants
the
liberty
of
Trade
within
their
dominions
,
which
at
last
must
of
necessity
discontent
and
impoverish
the
rich
City
of
Sardis
,
from
whence
the
Souldiers
are
(
if
not
mainteined
)
at
leastwise
supplyed
upon
all
urgent
occasions
.
But
why
answered
Cloria
may
not
these
Princes
,
and
especially
the
two
great
Monarchs
of
Aegypt
and
Syria
,
as
well
forbid
the
free
commerce
you
speak
of
in
the
time
of
their
own
differences
,
as
when
they
shall
be
at
peace
between
themselves
,
if
they
have
any
intention
to
right
my
father
,
as
I
have
heard
they
doe
pretend
?
Because
,
replyed
Roxana
,
they
are
both
so
full
of
their
own
ambition
,
that
neither
dares
offend
the
State
of
Lydia
as
yet
,
untill
their
Warres
be
at
an
end
between
themselves
,
least
they
might
give
too
much
advantage
to
each
other
by
the
assistance
of
so
powerfull
a
Kingdome
as
this
is
.
Then
said
the
Princesse
,
there
may
be
some
hopes
to
better
my
fathers
affaires
,
when
these
Kings
shall
thinke
it
good
to
put
up
their
bloudy
swords
,
and
not
before
.
I
conclude
not
so
Madam
,
answered
Roxana
,
for
although
these
exasperated
Princes
against
their
own
quiet
should
have
neither
temper
in
their
actions
,
nor
finde
wisedome
in
their
councellours
,
untill
meere
necessity
should
constraine
their
Subjects
to
seek
peace
with
violence
,
which
were
too
dangerous
a
president
;
yet
it
is
to
be
hoped
that
the
Myssians
with
the
Cretan
Forces
joyned
to
the
discontents
of
Lydia
,
by
reason
of
diversity
of
Religions
and
interests
would
in
time
restore
the
King
to
his
ancient
dignity
.
Pish
Roxana
,
replyed
Cloria
;
for
the
Myssians
,
I
have
so
little
confidence
in
their
assistance
,
that
what
countenance
soever
their
actions
put
on
,
I
can
scarce
be
perswaded
of
their
intentions
,
since
they
once
sold
my
father
to
this
misery
he
now
undergoes
;
when
they
had
a
gallant
Army
in
the
Field
to
have
redeemed
both
his
person
,
and
his
Crowne
;
And
for
the
Cretans
,
besides
that
they
are
of
a
different
profession
to
ours
concerning
the
worship
of
the
gods
;
there
are
also
so
many
factions
amongst
them
by
way
of
private
ambition
,
that
they
rather
goe
backe
daily
in
their
own
affaires
,
then
shew
any
probabillity
of
helping
others
;
And
for
the
discontents
of
Lydia
which
you
mention
,
with
their
diversities
of
Religions
,
I
doe
not
finde
upon
all
occasions
,
but
they
can
very
well
lay
downe
their
own
spleenes
,
when
there
appears
a
necessity
to
oppose
my
fathers
prosperity
:
Lastly
,
concerning
the
common
peoples
sufferings
,
I
am
perswaded
,
they
are
resolved
to
endure
any
subjection
,
or
almost
bondage
it selfe
,
rather
then
to
be
willing
the
King
should
recover
againe
his
lost
rights
,
by
force
and
power
of
the
sword
,
without
making
first
some
conditions
with
his
prorogative
,
notwithstanding
he
hath
divers
times
,
given
them
by
protestations
,
what
assurances
could
be
desired
from
a
just
,
and
a
religious
Prince
.
Madam
,
answered
Roxana
,
your
opinion
I
must
confesse
is
grounded
upon
a
great
deale
of
probabillity
,
considering
how
the
Myssians
not
onely
sold
the
King
to
the
power
of
the
Senate
,
but
at
the
first
beginning
of
these
troubles
came
into
Lydia
to
dispute
your
fathers
rights
:
But
yet
if
you
please
to
consider
,
that
the
reason
of
their
actions
then
proceeded
from
the
extreame
covetousnesse
of
some
eminent
persons
amongst
them
who
finde
now
they
can
expect
no
more
gaine
(
the
Senate
having
already
compassed
their
ends
upon
them
)
you
will
easily
believe
,
that
they
are
resolved
to
change
the
sceane
for
your
fathers
advantage
,
since
by
that
meanes
they
may
come
to
play
a
double
game
,
and
winne
by
the
bargaine
:
Next
concerning
the
Cretans
although
I
must
confesse
their
foolish
divisions
amongst
themselves
have
not
only
much
hindred
the
Kings
affaires
,
and
in
a
manner
indangered
the
whole
frame
of
their
own
designes
,
yet
is
there
such
a
disparity
betweene
them
,
and
the
people
of
Lydia
,
not
only
in
regard
of
the
difference
of
Religion
,
but
in
that
we
have
outed
them
formerly
of
much
of
their
Lands
;
that
they
will
dye
to
the
last
man
,
rather
then
suffer
the
Senate
to
beare
rule
over
them
:
Thirdly
,
I
must
desire
you
not
to
dwell
too
strictly
upon
your
beliefe
,
that
the
common
people
of
Lydia
will
so
easily
accord
their
difference
,
and
pacifie
their
discontents
,
upon
the
appearance
of
a
strange
Army
;
in
regard
it
will
only
bring
with
it
the
right
of
the
cause
,
with
a
promise
of
amendment
;
especially
when
they
shall
by
a
little
more
experience
finde
,
that
their
present
grievances
have
neither
termination
nor
limitation
;
For
I
say
,
that
as
at
the
first
they
were
perswaded
to
entertaine
the
assistance
of
the
Myssians
,
whom
they
most
hated
,
and
feared
of
all
other
Nations
,
against
their
King
,
who
oppressed
them
in
nothing
,
however
their
fancies
did
injure
their
judgements
,
so
will
they
as
well
accept
of
any
forraigne
assistance
against
the
Senate
,
when
they
can
no
longer
endure
the
burthen
of
their
oppressions
:
And
last
of
all
give
me
leave
to
tell
you
,
that
the
divisions
within
the
Army
and
Senate
house
,
cannot
but
produce
strange
effects
,
since
no
spleen
is
so
great
,
as
what
is
in
gendred
by
the
same
faction
,
when
once
they
fall
at
odds
,
either
by
reason
of
gaine
or
prerogative
:
But
as
she
was
further
proceeding
in
her
discourse
,
the
dwarfe
enformed
them
,
that
there
was
newly
arrived
in
the
Castle
hall
a
young
Maid
of
an
excellent
beauty
,
who
desired
with
much
earnestnesse
,
to
be
brought
presently
into
the
Princesse
presence
,
as
pretending
she
had
some
secret
to
discover
,
not
convenient
to
be
imparted
to
any
other
eare
;
he
also
said
,
that
as
her
eyes
sparkled
forth
a
kinde
of
youthfull
Majesty
,
so
did
her
neglectfull
dresse
,
seeme
to
have
been
disordred
by
her
late
journey
,
which
made
her
appeare
more
Amazon
like
.
This
strange
advertisement
put
them
both
into
a
sollicitous
consideration
,
as
well
concerning
the
person
of
the
party
,
as
the
occasion
of
the
adventure
;
And
many
loving
desires
would
gladly
have
perswaded
poor
Cloria
,
that
Narcissus
had
borrowed
another
disguize
,
to
have
given
her
a
new
visit
:
but
having
more
exactly
examined
her
little
servant
concerning
all
particulars
,
she
found
the
stranger
neither
in
stature
or
countenance
could
agree
with
the
proportion
or
features
of
her
absent
Lord
:
Wherefore
after
some
more
displeasing
consideration
,
with
a
kinde
of
a
sad
voyce
,
as
if
her
thoughts
were
troubled
at
the
mistake
,
she
commanded
the
Page
to
conduct
the
Maid
to
her
presence
.
As
soon
as
the
damosell
entred
the
room
,
with
confidence
enough
,
approaching
neerer
to
the
Princesse
in
an
abrupt
manner
,
told
her
though
softly
in
her
eare
,
that
her
new
guest
was
no
other
but
her
brother
Ascanius
broake
from
his
imprisonment
under
the
Senates
jurisdiction
;
wherefore
wisht
her
for
some
time
to
discharge
her
dwarfe
,
that
he
might
more
freely
discourse
to
her
his
adventures
.
Cloria
was
so
much
confounded
with
a
sudden
joy
,
to
have
her
sweet
brother
in
her
possession
,
whom
she
could
not
be
permitted
to
see
during
their
imprisonment
;
that
her
distractions
could
scarce
finde
a
way
,
to
put
in
execution
,
what
her
owne
judgement
,
should
have
thought
convenient
at
another
season
:
But
at
last
breaking
through
her
pleasant
amazement
,
she
discharged
her
little
officer
;
for
however
she
was
accustomed
to
trust
him
in
her
own
secrets
,
yet
she
would
not
notwithstanding
use
any
priviledge
to
hazard
her
brothers
confidence
,
least
it
might
render
him
lesse
assured
of
his
safety
:
When
she
had
passionately
demonstrated
his
welcome
,
by
many
affectionate
kisses
,
taking
his
white
hand
in
hers
,
which
seemed
also
to
have
a
neere
alliance
in
beauty
,
she
desired
him
to
make
her
acquainted
with
the
passages
of
his
escape
,
since
as
she
said
,
they
could
not
but
be
admirable
,
considering
the
strict
guard
the
Senate
was
ever
accustomed
to
set
over
the
Kings
children
;
in
the
interim
Roxana
curiously
attended
to
understand
the
discourse
that
was
to
proceed
from
such
dainty
lips
.
Wherefore
after
Ascanius
had
saluted
his
sisters
looks
,
with
three
or
foure
gentle
smiles
,
in
which
he
seemed
lovely
to
congratulate
his
own
fortune
and
deride
his
Goalers
carelesnesse
,
he
began
this
repetition
,
though
first
he
excused
himselfe
,
for
many
circumstances
belonging
to
the
story
.
My
father
said
he
,
as
he
had
commanded
my
brother
Prince
Arethusius
for
his
better
safety
,
into
the
Kingdome
of
Syria
,
there
to
attend
the
directions
of
our
noble
mother
,
so
was
he
perswaded
by
the
Myssians
(
in
whose
power
he
then
remained
in
the
Army
)
to
get
me
into
his
own
possession
,
whereby
the
better
to
secure
(
as
they
pretended
)
as
many
as
might
be
of
the
bloud
royall
;
To
this
purpose
he
commanded
me
to
make
an
escape
,
and
presently
to
repaire
to
his
presence
;
however
with
this
caution
,
that
if
I
should
be
prevented
in
the
execution
,
I
must
not
by
any
meanes
reveale
his
desire
;
least
the
Myssians
should
be
brought
into
suspition
,
who
were
then
treating
with
the
Senate
about
their
payment
.
But
be
their
pretences
what
they
would
,
I
strengthened
my
duty
and
obedience
,
by
all
the
thoughts
my
young
yeares
and
lesse
discretion
could
suggest
,
advantageable
to
the
designe
and
the
Kings
command
,
which
I
must
tell
you
scarce
gave
sleep
to
my
eyes
in
the
night
,
or
rest
to
my
body
in
the
day
,
since
truly
I
must
needs
say
,
my
youthfull
ambition
became
more
violent
then
ordinary
,
to
doe
something
exactly
that
might
pretend
to
care
and
wisedome
.
Yet
not
to
trouble
you
with
long
repetitions
,
where
the
successe
proved
unfortunate
,
I
was
to
my
intollerable
griefe
taken
in
my
escape
,
though
more
perplexed
I
must
confesse
,
to
be
foyled
in
my
first
interprize
,
then
sorrowfull
at
the
consequence
of
the
losse
:
being
apprehended
I
was
by
order
of
the
Senate
,
exactly
examined
before
such
Commissioners
,
as
their
gravities
ordained
to
be
judges
of
my
actions
:
However
the
gods
so
farre
favoured
my
weake
constancy
,
that
neither
tyranny
nor
flattery
,
was
able
to
shake
my
dutifull
resolution
,
which
so
inraged
their
froward
spleens
,
that
they
not
only
caused
me
to
be
shut
up
in
a
darke
roome
,
but
commanded
some
slight
punishment
to
be
inflicted
upon
my
person
,
as
a
small
combatant
in
my
fathers
quarrell
,
at
which
I
rather
laughed
then
seemed
to
feele
:
But
not
finding
these
petty
sufferings
could
prevaile
against
my
spirit
,
they
ordered
a
great
part
of
my
dyet
to
be
taken
from
me
,
as
supposing
belike
my
belly
was
easiest
to
be
conquered
,
when
truly
I
never
esteemed
meat
the
chiefe
part
of
my
consideration
;
especially
when
I
was
assured
for
their
own
sakes
,
they
would
afford
me
sufficient
to
sustaine
nature
:
yet
at
last
having
tryed
all
other
wayes
to
compasse
their
ends
,
without
receiving
any
fruit
from
their
labours
,
they
withdrew
from
me
those
accustomed
respects
belonging
to
my
birth
and
quality
,
which
I
cannot
deny
,
but
most
wrought
upon
my
disposition
;
for
that
I
conceived
the
dignity
of
my
parents
,
as
also
your selfe
sweet
sister
suffered
in
the
omission
.
To
be
short
,
finding
themselves
wholly
overcome
by
the
goodnesse
of
my
cause
,
rather
then
by
my
courage
,
they
began
of
a
sudden
to
change
(
though
not
the
theatre
)
yet
the
manner
of
their
action
;
which
was
not
only
to
sweeten
their
carriages
towards
me
,
but
also
to
tickle
up
my
young
ambition
,
with
hopes
of
being
their
elected
King
.
For
as
they
said
,
my
father
having
totally
abused
his
trust
,
and
my
eldest
brother
Arethusius
being
unkindly
fled
from
their
protection
,
they
could
finde
none
other
so
fit
a
person
to
undertake
the
government
of
the
whole
Kingdom
as
my self
,
if
I
would
but
expresse
love
in
my
nature
and
be
ruled
by
their
Counsels
,
for
their
intentions
as
they
protested
were
never
to
destroy
Monarchy
:
But
I
being
enflamed
with
a
new
rage
to
heare
them
to
scandalize
my
fathers
goodnesse
,
&
go
about
to
withdraw
my
duty
by
their
intentions
,
I
answered
that
as
my
father
had
been
much
too
gentle
a
Prince
for
such
people
;
so
was
their
dissimulation
no
more
to
be
believed
concerning
my selfe
in
these
offers
,
then
when
they
protested
to
the
world
to
make
Euarchus
the
greatest
King
of
Asia
;
And
in
the
meane
time
had
to
the
uttermost
of
their
power
deprived
him
of
his
Crowne
and
dignity
.
This
blunt
and
resolute
reply
of
mine
,
belike
gave
them
no
further
encouragement
to
proceed
;
for
telling
me
,
I
was
a
pevish
child
,
and
could
not
be
brought
to
understand
my
own
good
,
they
not
only
quitted
my
company
,
but
by
degrees
suffered
againe
the
streame
to
returne
into
its
right
course
,
to
my
singular
content
;
which
however
continued
me
still
a
prisoner
.
Having
past
over
so
great
a
storme
without
shipwrack
either
of
my
own
honour
,
or
danger
to
my
fathers
affaires
,
I
began
to
conceive
good
opinions
of
my
judgement
,
and
beginning
likewise
to
be
extreame
weary
of
my
captivity
,
since
my
yeares
now
required
activity
,
I
fell
into
many
considerations
of
another
escape
;
and
had
encouragement
to
put
it
in
execution
,
not
only
by
daily
rumours
I
heard
of
the
discontents
of
the
people
,
for
that
they
found
no
inclination
of
the
Senate
to
agree
with
the
King
;
but
also
,
for
that
I
understood
many
of
the
Kings
ships
had
lately
revolted
from
their
service
:
All
which
I
say
enflamed
my
thoughts
to
a
new
designe
,
and
these
inflamations
of
hope
,
desire
,
and
passion
,
made
me
diligent
to
procure
the
good
opinion
of
those
that
were
intrusted
with
my
person
,
as
a
necessary
consequence
to
my
intention
.
I
oftentimes
demanded
of
them
to
what
end
was
it
to
use
rigour
in
my
imprisonment
,
when
it
might
turn
to
their
prejudice
,
if
our
side
should
hereafter
prevaile
;
neither
could
it
at
all
benefit
them
for
the
present
with
their
masters
by
any
rewards
,
if
they
continued
still
in
authority
?
These
perswasions
with
other
circumstances
,
took
them
off
from
the
fiercenesse
of
their
speed
,
especially
when
they
had
heard
that
Farezius
was
forced
to
send
many
of
his
Troops
abroad
,
to
reduce
some
Provinces
againe
to
his
obedience
,
that
rather
chose
to
runne
into
desperate
dangers
,
then
still
to
continue
under
the
Senates
power
.
These
encouragements
I
say
,
made
me
beginne
to
frame
those
Embryons
I
had
already
conceived
in
my
unsetled
braine
to
some
shape
,
proper
for
production
;
and
to
this
purpose
,
descending
from
generals
to
particulars
,
I
acquainted
a
servant
I
have
now
brought
along
with
me
,
(
whom
I
alwayes
found
faithfull
to
my
intentions
)
that
my
resolution
was
,
in
this
distracted
season
to
gaine
my
liberty
out
of
the
Castle
;
and
therefore
wisht
him
to
provide
for
my
escape
such
necessaries
as
were
convenient
for
a
businesse
of
so
great
consequence
,
that
concerned
not
only
my
own
safety
,
but
my
fathers
prosperity
,
but
in
the
interim
to
colour
my
designe
,
I
gave
it
out
that
I
intended
to
solemnize
the
birth
day
of
my
brother
,
by
a
publike
Maske
,
to
be
acted
for
the
delight
of
those
Souldiers
of
my
guard
:
When
the
night
came
(
having
all
the
afternoon
before
filled
their
brains
with
the
fumes
of
excellent
Wine
,
as
their
imagination
with
the
expectation
of
the
story
of
Jupiter
,
flying
from
the
ill
natured
rage
of
his
cruell
father
)
after
they
were
all
orderly
placed
in
their
seates
,
I
caused
the
sceane
to
be
discovered
,
which
appeared
to
their
view
of
so
taking
a
quality
,
that
they
had
no
leasure
at
all
to
attend
their
charge
,
so
that
I
had
liberty
sufficient
by
their
willing
or
carelesse
neglect
,
to
passe
divers
times
without
my
accustomed
attendants
,
through
the
Galleries
into
my
private
bed
chamber
,
as
pretending
I
had
some
necessary
office
in
the
Play
;
but
at
last
finding
they
were
all
either
sufficiently
secured
in
their
imployment
of
curiosity
,
or
past
consideration
by
reason
of
their
over
liberall
diet
,
I
more
secretly
retired
into
my
Cabinet
,
where
I
had
appointed
my
servant
to
attend
with
womans
apparell
:
which
robes
being
soon
fitted
to
my
person
,
so
well
suited
with
my
imagination
,
that
I
carried
my selfe
with
much
confidence
amongst
the
multitudes
of
company
in
every
room
,
when
I
came
into
the
common
hall
,
my
servant
ushered
me
as
some
Masquer
to
the
doore
;
where
the
Porter
made
no
difficulty
to
give
us
passage
,
as
believing
it
was
a
necessary
duty
belonging
to
his
office
,
not
to
be
at
all
jealous
in
such
joviality
,
least
his
fellowes
might
have
derided
him
for
his
ridiculous
caution
.
But
however
,
I
got
thus
prosperously
from
the
danger
of
all
the
Courts
of
guard
,
yet
the
last
centinell
either
bitten
with
his
servile
attendance
in
the
open
aire
,
whilst
his
other
companions
in
warme
roomes
enjoyed
content
,
or
being
by
nature
more
suspitious
then
the
rest
of
his
fellowes
,
began
strictly
,
not
only
to
examine
our
intentions
,
but
roughly
to
deny
our
passage
,
in
so
much
as
my
fervant
not
believing
it
was
safe
to
admit
of
such
a
hazardable
contention
,
quickly
drew
out
a
short
hanger
he
had
by
his
side
,
and
gave
him
a
blow
upon
the
pate
,
that
made
him
aske
counsell
of
the
ground
for
the
rest
of
his
proceedings
,
whether
the
wound
was
mortall
or
no
,
we
left
him
only
to
consider
,
whilst
we
made
our
passage
,
free
in
the
night
season
,
through
a
thick
wood
not
farre
distant
from
the
Castle
,
untill
the
breaking
of
the
morning
,
constrained
us
to
seeke
refuge
in
a
darke
cave
,
where
we
continued
all
the
next
day
for
feare
of
discovery
,
since
we
doubted
not
,
but
my
flight
would
soon
be
pursued
with
open
cry
.
When
the
skie
began
againe
to
be
obscured
for
our
advantage
after
the
going
downe
of
the
Sun
,
we
thought
it
best
to
take
a
new
journey
towards
the
City
of
Sardis
,
where
confusion
we
supposed
would
secure
us
,
untill
we
could
finde
a
convenient
transportation
for
Syria
;
however
our
wearinesse
,
&
want
of
food
compelled
me
the
next
day
about
noone
,
to
take
up
my
habitation
in
a
small
Cottage
under
a
hill
side
,
in
whose
dwelling
there
only
remained
an
old
man
with
his
wife
,
having
between
them
as
the
fruits
of
their
long
marriage
one
daughter
,
which
by
the
way
must
occasion
a
pretty
short
story
:
We
no
sooner
entred
the
house
,
but
being
provoked
by
a
sufficient
appetite
,
we
called
for
such
provision
as
they
had
,
promising
a
large
payment
,
and
they
as
willingly
condiscended
to
our
desires
,
in
which
office
the
maid
seemed
most
diligent
,
not
only
in
regard
of
her
own
good
huswifery
,
but
being
exceedingly
delighted
,
as
might
be
gathered
by
her
smiling
countenance
at
my
strange
attire
;
in
the
house
there
was
but
two
beds
,
the
one
where
the
old
people
lay
,
and
the
other
for
the
young
wench
;
so
that
I
was
to
take
up
my
rest
necessarily
in
the
Girles
bed
,
where
I
must
confesse
,
I
slept
to
my
content
,
whilst
my
attendant
made
use
of
a
bundle
of
straw
in
an
out
house
for
his
lodging
:
but
in
the
morning
I
might
feele
,
not
only
one
in
bed
with
me
,
but
the
party
to
have
her
hand
over
my
breast
,
whom
by
more
consideration
I
found
to
be
the
young
damosell
of
the
Cottage
;
This
I
must
confesse
put
me
to
some
confusion
,
untill
by
a
strict
examination
of
her
intention
,
I
perceived
it
was
only
her
own
innocent
curiosity
,
because
she
thought
me
a
fine
young
gentlewoman
:
At
which
relation
the
Princesse
could
not
chuse
but
laugh
;
the
rather
for
that
Ascanius
,
did
with
something
a
constrained
earnestnesse
,
strive
to
defend
the
wenches
chastity
,
as
if
he
had
been
jealous
also
of
his
own
honour
:
yet
neverthelesse
he
was
forced
to
confesse
,
the
Maid
did
much
question
him
,
because
he
had
no
greater
breasts
;
But
having
sufficiently
cleared
his
reputation
,
and
jested
out
the
rest
,
he
againe
continued
his
discourse
.
Although
said
he
,
I
had
sufficiently
satisfied
her
in
all
questions
concerning
my
travels
,
yet
I
had
much
adoe
to
perswade
her
to
rise
from
me
;
so
much
was
she
in
love
with
my
company
,
neither
would
she
condiscend
to
my
request
untill
she
had
againe
imbraced
me
,
bestowing
three
or
foure
of
her
kisses
upon
my
lips
;
This
being
performed
,
and
having
yawned
a
pretty
space
,
as
a
testimony
of
her
youthfull
lazinesse
,
she
suddenly
started
out
of
the
bed
in
her
smock
,
that
was
not
of
the
finest
cloath
,
where
she
remained
still
discoursing
with
me
untill
her
father
,
and
mother
lying
in
the
lower
roome
,
gave
her
a
call
or
two
to
hasten
her
speed
,
yet
I
had
opportunity
enough
to
enquire
of
her
,
not
only
the
neerest
way
to
Sardis
,
but
of
the
conveniency
of
the
next
Town
,
where
I
meant
to
provide
my selfe
of
some
change
of
apparrell
,
since
I
durst
not
trust
those
,
which
brought
me
from
the
Castle
.
In
conclusion
,
after
I
had
imployed
my
servant
a
few
dayes
neare
the
place
to
buy
other
Robes
;
and
bestowed
my
old
apparrell
upon
the
wench
,
for
a
gratuity
of
her
kindnesse
,
in
affording
me
so
freely
her
company
the
first
night
,
I
not
permitting
the
second
I
tooke
my
leave
lovingly
of
the
old
people
,
who
truly
had
entertained
me
with
an
honest
Countrey
affection
,
so
that
presently
according
to
our
direction
,
we
repaired
to
the
Bankes
of
the
River
Pactolus
,
where
we
quickly
hired
a
Barke
,
that
without
any
suspition
at
all
brought
us
to
Sardis
,
which
Towne
sheltred
us
without
discovery
,
untill
we
found
another
conveniency
to
convey
us
to
your
Castle
,
where
being
arrived
,
we
are
confident
you
will
not
betray
your
guests
,
but
rather
advise
us
by
your
Counsell
,
how
to
prosecute
further
my
affaires
;
since
it
is
to
be
thought
,
they
will
make
a
sudden
and
diligent
inquiry
after
my
escape
.
At
which
words
with
a
pretty
smile
the
Princesse
Cloria
cast
her
eyes
upon
her
Governesse
,
as
if
she
expected
from
her
experience
the
best
direction
for
them
both
.
Roxana
,
when
she
had
drawne
the
lookes
of
Ascanius
upon
her
in
a
curious
manner
,
since
he
had
not
been
formerly
acquainted
with
her
conversation
,
and
also
mused
according
to
her
custome
for
some
short
space
,
she
gave
this
advice
.
Truly
,
said
she
,
as
it
is
most
necessary
in
the
prime
place
,
that
my
Lord
Ascanius
provide
for
his
own
security
,
since
it
is
impossible
but
some
speedy
search
will
be
after
his
escape
,
the
Senate
not
being
willing
to
part
with
so
many
of
the
Royall
family
out
of
their
own
jurisdiction
;
So
Madam
be
pleased
to
thinke
it
convenient
,
that
the
Queen
now
remaining
in
Syria
,
may
presently
be
made
acquainted
with
this
fortunate
delivery
of
my
Lord
your
brother
from
his
imprisonment
by
some
trusty
messenger
to
be
dispatched
from
our
Counsels
,
which
party
may
be
(
as
I
conceive
)
this
faithfull
servant
,
the
companion
of
his
Travels
,
whom
he
hath
now
brought
along
with
him
into
this
Castle
,
who
cannot
well
remaine
here
in
that
he
will
rather
prove
a
Subject
of
suspition
then
an
officer
of
use
,
since
the
daily
visits
of
this
place
by
the
Nobility
,
and
other
people
of
quality
must
of
necessity
bring
his
name
in
question
.
And
for
this
beautifull
runaway
your
brother
,
since
he
so
well
becomes
a
Maids
attire
,
and
hath
so
bravely
given
testimony
of
his
own
modesty
,
I
see
no
reason
why
he
may
not
still
live
amongst
us
,
without
danger
to
his
own
person
,
or
prejudice
to
our
honours
,
being
entertained
as
your
attendant
in
your
chamber
,
untill
either
commands
out
of
Syria
call
him
away
,
or
you
your selfe
be
removed
from
the
jurisdiction
of
this
Kingdome
,
by
your
happy
marriage
with
my
Lord
Narcissus
;
at
which
words
the
Princesse
became
as
red
as
Scarlet
,
not
dreaming
her
young
brother
should
so
abruptly
have
been
made
acquainted
with
her
secret
ingagement
:
But
the
fault
was
already
committed
,
and
Roxana
had
no
time
to
aske
forgivenesse
,
wherefore
something
confounded
by
her
errour
,
as
well
as
she
could
she
went
on
with
her
continued
discourse
.
However
said
she
,
that
we
may
not
remaine
altogether
ignorant
of
the
proceedings
of
the
Senate
,
I
shall
industriously
endeavour
to
instruct
our
little
dwarfe
,
who
wants
no
wit
to
make
such
inquiry
abroad
,
as
may
be
most
convenient
for
our
affaires
,
for
whose
truth
and
honesty
I
will
undertake
,
with
the
engagement
of
my
reputation
;
This
may
give
you
a
full
liberty
to
enjoy
with
freedome
each
others
company
,
a
benefit
that
neither
of
you
will
repine
at
I
am
sure
,
since
the
fates
have
been
hitherto
penurious
to
both
your
conversations
;
with
these
words
she
rested
silent
in
a
kinde
of
a
grave
smile
,
expecting
the
young
couple
should
signe
their
consents
by
some
demonstration
.
After
that
Roxana
had
fully
ended
her
discourse
,
the
lovely
paire
looked
upon
each
other
,
with
such
a
sweet
chearefulnesse
,
as
if
their
own
passions
had
no
desire
to
enquire
further
after
the
depth
of
her
reasons
,
since
their
hearts
abundantly
approved
of
the
consequence
of
her
designe
,
which
was
that
they
might
enjoy
the
felicity
of
one
anothers
conversation
;
at
last
Cloria
asked
her
brother
,
how
he
liked
the
wisedome
of
her
Governesse
,
which
gave
him
occasion
to
tell
her
,
that
he
did
not
now
wonder
how
she
had
passed
through
the
intricacie
of
so
many
dangerous
adventures
,
having
had
so
faithfull
and
discreet
a
Pilot
to
guide
her
,
in
the
vast
sea
of
such
desperate
accidents
.
In
the
meane
time
this
delighted
company
past
away
their
howers
in
such
conversation
,
as
most
tended
to
Euarchus
wished
prosperity
,
sometimes
complaining
of
the
unrelenting
cruelty
of
the
Senate
,
that
could
so
long
detaine
their
just
and
mercifull
King
in
a
darke
prison
,
instead
of
casting
themselves
at
his
feet
humbly
to
desire
pardon
for
their
offences
,
otherwhiles
againe
they
would
entertaine
their
thoughts
,
with
new
hopes
of
his
releasement
by
powerfull
Armies
sent
into
Lydia
by
all
the
Princes
of
Asia
,
in
which
number
Narcissus
had
no
low
ranke
in
the
opinion
of
lovepartiall
Cloria
;
neither
seldome
did
they
agree
in
beliefe
,
that
the
generall
distractions
of
the
Kingdome
,
would
soon
put
an
end
to
the
differences
without
any
other
assistance
,
untill
these
diversities
of
fancies
carried
them
one
day
into
the
garden
,
where
Clorias
diligent
servant
in
the
view
of
other
attendants
,
observed
so
carefully
the
directions
of
her
charge
;
that
she
made
alwayes
election
of
those
fruit
that
the
Princesse
intention
did
but
only
covet
,
and
presented
them
to
be
made
more
beautifull
by
the
touch
of
her
white
hand
.
In
these
entertainments
I
say
they
continued
untill
an
ancient
Lord
of
the
Senate
,
who
had
not
altogether
put
off
his
duty
and
affection
to
the
Kings
posterity
,
with
a
seeming
joy
that
made
him
forget
his
accustomed
ceremonies
to
the
Princesse
Cloria
,
not
onely
suddenly
entred
the
Garden
,
but
made
a
kind
of
rude
passage
through
the
crowd
of
such
as
waited
neere
her
person
;
and
with
a
breathlesse
voyce
informed
her
,
that
,
that
very
morning
,
as
the
Nobility
were
sitting
in
their
own
Councell
chamber
,
divided
by
a
partition
from
the
common
assembly
of
the
lower
Senate
,
they
were
saluted
in
a
tumultuous
manner
by
may
thousands
of
people
(
having
their
leaders
of
much
greater
quality
)
with
a
petition
,
that
not
onely
complained
of
the
proceedings
of
the
Army
,
but
defired
they
might
again
speedily
enjoy
the
liberty
of
their
King
,
the
freedome
of
the
Lawes
,
and
an
establishment
of
their
Religion
,
as
they
said
absolutely
obstructed
from
their
possession
,
by
the
licentious
power
of
the
Souldiers
under
Farezius
command
,
whom
(
as
they
intimated
)
they
had
formerly
chosen
to
be
their
Captaine
for
some
season
,
but
not
to
be
a
tyrant
against
their
priviledges
for
ever
;
vowing
withall
,
that
as
they
would
not
depart
the
great
City
of
Sardis
without
a
direct
answer
,
so
were
they
resolved
to
procure
an
accomplishment
of
their
just
requests
,
to
the
hazzard
of
their
lives
,
and
fortunes
.
O
Madam
,
said
he
,
how
these
brave
beginnings
,
inflamed
our
soules
with
new
courages
:
notwithstanding
,
we
could
not
chuse
in
some
sort
,
but
reflect
upon
our
own
poornesse
of
spirit
,
or
at
leastwise
dulnesse
in
understanding
,
that
never
went
about
to
put
in
execution
what
these
people
propound
at
present
for
their
and
our
advantages
.
Truely
,
replied
the
Princesse
Cloria
,
although
I
cannot
but
commend
these
peoples
understandings
,
that
appeare
to
have
some
sense
and
feeling
of
their
reputations
yet
must
I
a
great
deale
more
extoll
their
courages
,
that
dare
expose
themselves
to
maintaine
those
small
priviledges
,
which
by
a
certaine
kind
of
birth-right
they
have
received
from
their
honest
and
wise
ancestors
;
when
as
you
of
the
Nobility
,
of
the
contrary
,
seem
altogether
stupid
in
the
apprehension
of
such
honourable
rights
that
appertain
to
your
qualities
,
left
you
by
the
brave
endeavour
of
your
most
Noble
predecessors
:
who
were
at
the
first
so
spleenative
indiscreet
,
in
your
passions
against
your
Prince
(
though
without
any
known
cause
whatsoever
)
that
you
were
content
to
sacrifice
your
known
own
advantages
,
above
the
common
all
people
,
onely
that
you
might
but
destroy
him
and
his
prerogative
;
not
leaving
your selves
so
much
power
as
to
be
able
again
to
recover
your
own
dignities
.
These
words
and
reproofe
of
the
Princesse
almost
put
the
Nobleman
out
of
his
tale
;
but
she
finding
him
something
out
of
countenance
,
encouraged
him
to
the
prosecution
of
his
relation
:
Madam
,
said
he
,
when
we
had
thanked
them
for
their
prudent
admonition
(
as
we
termed
it
)
what
our
own
duties
should
have
remembred
,
we
presently
dismissed
them
,
with
other
speeches
and
promises
,
that
sufficiently
contented
them
for
the
instant
.
After
they
were
gone
,
I
must
tell
you
,
we
were
sent
to
the
other
part
of
the
Senate
,
sitting
in
another
room
distinct
from
ours
;
intimating
we
desired
some
conference
with
them
,
whereby
the
people
might
be
rendred
satisfied
in
their
seeming
just
demands
:
upon
our
meeting
,
many
things
were
propounded
to
that
purpose
,
as
well
concerning
our selves
as
the
souldiers
;
but
what
will
be
the
issue
of
these
proceedings
,
for
my
part
I
am
not
able
to
divine
:
onely
we
are
informed
,
that
the
multitude
will
not
depart
from
the
City
of
Sardis
,
untill
they
have
received
such
answer
,
as
may
in
some
sort
give
content
to
their
thoughts
:
which
either
must
settle
the
Kingdom
in
a
probable
posture
for
peace
and
quietnesse
,
or
so
inflame
the
Armies
resolutions
,
that
they
will
endeavour
to
become
masters
of
the
whole
.
With
these
words
he
abruptly
took
his
leave
,
as
if
his
apprehensions
had
been
transported
only
by
imaginary
conceipts
.
As
soone
as
the
Lord
had
quitted
the
garden
,
and
the
rest
of
the
attendance
being
also
removed
some
distance
from
them
,
the
Princesse
,
Ascanius
and
Roxana
,
began
to
fall
upon
confiderations
and
discourses
of
the
Kings
affaires
:
sometimes
their
hopes
were
carried
to
assure
themselves
,
that
it
was
unpossible
,
but
those
confusions
must
needs
produce
effects
to
that
purpose
;
since
,
as
they
believed
,
the
souldiers
of
the
Senate
could
not
long
agree
,
and
then
the
common
peoples
desires
of
necessity
would
again
bring
him
into
his
Throne
:
for
they
imagined
,
that
however
there
might
be
obstacles
&
contentions
for
the
present
,
in
regard
of
the
extraordinary
power
of
the
army
,
yet
the
souldiers
at
the
last
could
not
but
admit
of
a
King
,
more
willingly
then
any
other
Generall
of
their
own
ranke
to
command
over
them
:
besides
they
doubted
not
,
but
the
Nobility
,
and
the
City
of
Sardis
would
joyne
together
to
establish
Euarchus
in
the
same
honour
and
dignity
as
he
was
in
before
these
late
troubles
;
since
the
consequences
had
already
not
a
little
impoverished
the
whole
Kingdom
,
and
what
it
would
doe
further
if
it
should
continue
,
might
very
well
be
feared
,
though
as
yet
not
certainly
known
;
In
that
the
dignity
of
a
Court
probably
,
would
as
well
confirme
the
one
in
their
hereditary
priviledges
,
as
inrich
the
others
by
traffique
and
commerce
;
seeing
it
was
chiefly
the
better
sort
of
persons
,
that
took
off
the
commodities
of
the
Merchants
.
These
pleasant
apprehensions
invited
them
all
three
to
take
some
delight
,
in
a
certaine
beautifull
and
refreshing
Grote
,
encompassed
round
about
by
an
intricate
Labyrinth
,
or
Wilderness
of
flourishing
Trees
,
that
shaded
it
sufficiently
from
the
eyes
of
people
:
in
the
middest
thereof
there
was
a
Fountaine
upon
the
borders
,
in
which
was
contrived
many
sorts
of
Chaces
by
dogges
and
huntsmen
;
who
by
the
turning
of
severall
artificiall
Cocks
,
seemed
not
onely
to
move
in
prosecution
of
their
prey
,
but
the
hounds
with
open
mouthes
barked
and
made
a
noyse
.
The
prettinesse
of
the
conceit
,
for
a
long
space
gave
young
Ascanius
sufficient
content
:
when
they
were
weary
of
beholding
of
this
invention
,
they
went
to
the
viewing
of
other
rarities
.
There
they
might
behold
Andromeda
,
with
the
Sea
Monster
,
comming
out
of
the
water
to
devoure
her
,
whilst
her
sorrowfull
parents
stood
upon
the
bordering
shore
,
to
behold
that
wofull
and
lamenable
Tragedy
,
occasioned
as
they
thought
by
the
too
much
severity
and
cruelty
of
the
gods
,
untill
Perseus
the
sonne
of
Dane
,
that
was
courted
in
a
shower
of
Gold
by
Jupiter
,
descended
from
the
skies
upon
his
flying
horse
,
and
seemed
to
rescue
the
distressed
Lady
.
There
were
also
to
be
seen
in
that
place
,
divers
Artificers
,
working
in
their
Trades
,
onely
by
the
force
and
current
of
the
water
:
in
like
manner
,
others
playing
upon
severall
kinds
of
Instruments
,
both
delightfull
to
the
eare
,
and
pleasing
to
the
apprehension
.
Besides
,
Birds
of
all
species
,
made
of
Glasse
and
other
materials
,
that
seemed
to
chirpe
in
a
naturall
way
,
though
onely
so
contrived
by
the
meere
invention
of
men
,
to
give
the
greater
satisfaction
to
luxurious
sense
.
After
they
had
as
it
were
glutted
their
contemplation
with
these
delightfull
vanities
,
the
Princesse
Cloria
being
better
skil'd
then
her
brother
in
the
use
of
such
devices
,
suddenly
turned
one
of
the
pipes
,
which
quickly
over-spread
young
Ascanius
,
with
a
large
Canopy
of
Water
,
that
resembled
a
plentifull
,
though
sweet
shower
from
the
heavens
,
in
so
much
as
he
knew
not
at
the
instant
,
how
to
winde
himselfe
out
of
the
inconveniency
,
untill
he
was
forced
to
entreat
his
sisters
favour
for
his
redemption
;
neither
did
she
altogether
afford
him
that
grace
,
since
he
became
a
little
wet
to
purchase
a
convenient
experience
against
another
time
.
But
Roxana
,
as
if
she
thought
her
Mistresse
had
used
something
too
much
severity
towards
her
young
brother
,
began
a
needlesse
apologie
for
the
action
,
when
she
might
have
known
Ascanius
could
not
be
displeased
at
any
thing
his
sister
did
.
When
they
had
as
it
were
dwelt
long
enough
upon
these
watry
pleasures
,
they
again
returned
into
their
own
lodgings
,
in
which
place
the
metamorposed
mayd
was
most
carefull
to
observe
those
decorums
that
belonged
to
her
office
,
and
attendance
,
least
the
contrary
might
have
occasioned
the
endangering
of
his
discovery
:
where
they
remained
,
I
may
say
,
entertaining
themselves
sometimes
with
hopes
,
and
sometimes
with
feares
,
untill
the
dwarfes
returne
brought
them
more
certaine
intelligence
,
of
many
passages
both
from
Sardis
and
other
Regions
:
however
because
they
desired
to
understand
his
information
,
in
the
most
methodicall
way
,
in
regard
the
circumstances
as
they
apprehended
,
would
give
a
great
light
to
the
intentions
on
foot
,
they
wisht
him
to
tell
his
story
and
adventures
in
order
,
which
he
performed
in
this
manner
.
After
said
he
,
I
parted
from
this
Castle
,
according
to
your
command
I
went
to
the
very
doore
of
the
Senate-house
,
the
best
place
as
I
thought
for
intelligence
;
where
finding
all
those
that
stood
without
in
a
most
confused
distraction
,
both
in
their
words
and
looks
,
it
was
not
long
before
many
of
the
chiefe
Senators
,
of
a
sudden
came
out
of
the
room
;
when
presently
they
went
with
a
great
deale
of
haste
towards
another
chamber
,
where
I
understood
by
the
discourses
of
the
multitude
,
they
were
designed
to
meet
some
of
the
Lords
about
a
conference
,
concerning
the
settlements
of
the
disorders
of
the
Kingdome
.
I
being
both
bold
,
and
little
,
and
so
consequently
as
I
thought
not
much
to
be
suspected
,
in
the
confused
crowd
thrust
in
along
with
them
,
where
placing
my selfe
in
a
nook
of
the
chamber
under
a
hanging
it
was
my
chance
to
heare
these
severall
discourses
from
them
.
The
first
sort
of
Senators
that
spake
,
thought
it
convenient
,
if
not
altogether
necessary
,
again
to
settle
the
King
in
his
ancient
dignity
,
not
onely
in
regard
of
the
extraordinary
cries
of
the
common
people
to
that
purpose
,
but
also
for
that
there
were
so
many
severall
factions
within
themselves
in
the
Senate
,
not
probable
to
be
reconciled
,
with
any
advantage
to
the
Nation
:
Others
notwithstanding
were
of
a
contrary
opinion
,
alleadging
that
it
were
better
to
hazard
the
ruine
of
the
whole
Countrey
in
a
generall
confusion
,
then
to
come
any
more
under
the
jurisdiction
of
that
Tyrannicall
government
,
as
they
said
they
had
with
so
much
bloud
already
endeavoured
to
destroy
:
A
third
number
of
that
assembly
,
seemed
in
some
sort
to
be
willing
to
restore
againe
Euarchus
to
his
Crowne
in
full
lustre
,
but
they
doubted
,
least
his
unrelenting
spleen
might
put
him
on
,
to
call
the
Senate
to
a
strict
account
for
their
past
actions
,
and
severity
used
both
against
his
authority
and
person
;
wherefore
wisht
rather
to
have
some
of
his
posterity
Crowned
in
his
place
,
whom
for
such
a
benefit
as
they
believed
,
would
easily
be
perswaded
to
forgive
and
forget
his
fathers
injuries
:
This
proposition
a
long
time
entertained
their
fancies
,
untill
they
considered
,
that
not
only
Prince
Arethusius
was
in
the
Kingdome
of
Syria
,
prosecuting
the
Queen
his
Mothers
designes
,
and
my
Lord
Ascanius
his
brother
had
lately
by
flight
procured
his
owne
liberty
without
their
consents
,
that
absolutely
beate
back
any
more
discourse
upon
that
subject
;
however
they
thought
it
convenient
,
if
not
extreamely
necessary
for
the
present
,
to
give
what
satisfaction
they
could
to
the
discontented
people
,
who
belike
attended
in
great
numbers
,
about
the
City
of
Sardis
to
that
purpose
:
yet
it
was
considered
with
all
,
that
if
they
should
endeavour
altogether
to
please
the
multitude
,
without
having
their
Swords
ready
drawne
in
their
hands
,
whereby
to
be
able
to
chastize
them
,
if
they
should
prove
too
unreasonable
in
their
demands
,
they
must
expect
dangerous
and
insolent
affronts
,
instead
of
quietnesse
and
obedience
to
their
commands
:
In
so
much
as
they
thought
it
convenient
in
the
interim
that
they
entertained
the
peoples
expectations
,
with
good
words
and
faire
promises
,
to
send
privately
to
Farezius
,
wishing
him
to
be
ready
to
march
with
his
Souldiers
,
to
keep
the
multitude
in
due
obedience
to
the
Senates
authority
if
they
should
continue
these
extravagant
prosecutions
of
their
designes
,
which
in
effect
being
fully
resolved
upon
by
them
all
,
they
quickly
broake
up
the
Assembly
.
So
that
when
they
were
in
this
manner
dispersed
and
I
had
freed
my selfe
undiscovered
from
their
companies
,
I
thought
it
my
duty
,
to
gaine
what
other
intelligence
I
could
amongst
the
common
people
,
since
I
conceived
,
much
consisted
in
their
constant
and
brave
resolutions
,
to
which
purpose
they
seemed
in
some
sort
to
have
assembled
themselves
,
with
an
intention
to
contend
against
the
present
government
,
by
some
violent
manner
of
prosecution
,
though
for
the
better
colour
of
their
actions
and
intentions
,
they
appeared
only
with
petitions
in
their
hands
,
instead
of
other
weapons
of
danger
:
With
these
thoughts
I
held
it
my
best
course
to
retire
into
the
very
heart
or
body
of
the
City
of
Sardis
,
as
well
to
feele
the
pulse
and
constitution
of
the
Inhabitants
,
as
the
likelier
to
be
informed
by
their
intelligence
,
concerning
all
other
proceedings
of
the
Kingdome
:
neither
in
this
designe
was
I
much
deceived
in
my
expectation
,
for
sorting
my
conversation
,
with
watermen
and
other
inferiour
people
,
I
understood
,
that
as
the
rich
Citizens
of
the
Towne
,
although
they
desire
againe
to
have
their
King
to
governe
over
them
,
though
with
some
restriction
in
his
power
,
because
they
feare
his
revenge
,
since
otherwise
as
they
believe
,
they
could
probably
expect
nothing
but
a
generall
confusion
,
so
of
the
other
side
it
is
apparant
the
multitude
for
the
most
part
desire
a
change
;
not
only
in
regard
of
the
envy
they
beare
to
the
Senate
,
who
more
absolutely
command
over
their
persons
and
estates
then
the
King
ever
did
in
his
greatest
glory
,
but
also
in
regard
,
they
doubt
the
Souldiers
at
the
last
,
will
come
to
be
Masters
of
every
mans
fortune
;
which
jurisidction
of
all
others
,
they
most
detest
in
their
natures
and
dispofitions
:
As
I
was
sufficiently
satisfied
in
these
inclinations
of
the
people
,
I
repaired
to
the
publike
place
of
commerce
for
the
whole
City
,
where
(
in
short
)
amongst
the
Merchants
I
understood
,
that
not
onely
a
great
part
of
the
Navy
was
revolted
to
the
King
(
the
Marriners
being
encouraged
thereunto
by
some
Senators
which
Farezius
the
Generall
had
formerly
sent
into
banishment
)
but
that
the
Myssians
were
also
preparing
a
great
Army
,
by
the
directions
of
the
Kingdom
of
Syria
,
suddenly
to
invade
Lydia
,
on
the
Kings
behalfe
.
These
newes
giving
my
endeavours
sufficient
encouragement
,
still
to
prosecute
my
designe
,
for
other
intelligences
,
within
three
or
foure
daies
afterward
,
I
became
certainly
informed
,
that
the
Senate
being
not
able
,
or
at
leastwise
not
willing
to
give
the
multitude
satisfaction
,
according
to
the
desire
of
their
petitions
,
they
had
in
great
numbers
not
onely
taken
up
armes
for
their
own
defence
,
in
regard
they
understood
that
Farezius
had
directions
,
notwithstanding
the
opposition
of
the
Lords
,
to
march
towards
their
assemblies
with
all
his
power
,
but
they
had
also
seized
upon
many
Castles
and
Towns
,
towards
their
enterprize
and
assistance
in
the
Kings
name
;
with
whom
in
like
manner
many
of
the
Nobility
joyn
with
considerable
Forces
.
Last
of
all
,
you
may
be
pleased
to
know
,
That
Hercrombrotus
,
Lieutenant
Generall
to
Farezius
,
is
of
a
sudden
called
away
with
a
great
part
of
the
Army
,
towards
the
confines
of
Lydia
,
neere
the
City
of
Smyrna
,
occasioned
by
reason
of
the
revolt
of
some
of
his
own
Commanders
,
who
are
joyned
with
the
power
and
force
of
the
Countrey
to
oppose
the
Senates
proceeding
:
which
in
effect
is
the
full
information
I
can
give
concerning
my
imployment
.
When
the
Dwarfe
had
made
an
end
of
this
relation
,
the
Princesse
Cloria
smiled
upon
her
brother
,
not
onely
to
see
how
well
the
boy
had
performed
his
office
,
according
to
the
confidence
her
Governesse
Roxana
had
in
his
wit
and
fidelity
;
but
withall
in
regard
of
the
inward
joy
she
felt
concerning
the
King
her
fathers
affaires
,
that
seemed
now
to
be
in
a
better
posture
then
they
were
,
almost
since
the
beginning
of
his
troubles
:
for
she
imagined
by
the
consequences
,
his
subjects
would
be
constrained
for
their
own
advantages
,
to
place
him
again
in
his
Throne
,
in
a
higher
capacity
of
power
then
before
.
Ascanius
of
the
other
side
,
expressed
also
by
his
countenance
the
like
gladnesse
,
in
so
much
as
after
a
little
space
,
as
if
he
had
been
in
a
manner
transported
with
thoughts
of
delight
and
satisfaction
,
according
to
his
youthfull
conceptions
,
that
were
apt
enough
to
entertaine
all
Ideas
of
content
and
felicity
,
presently
runne
to
his
sister
,
and
whilst
both
his
arms
were
cast
about
her
neck
,
he
sealed
,
as
well
his
affection
as
his
joy
upon
her
Ruby
lips
,
by
a
multitude
of
sweet
though
more
deere
kisses
:
but
she
at
last
,
either
something
apprehending
the
too
much
importunity
of
such
affections
,
or
else
desirous
to
inform
her selfe
better
of
other
particulars
,
told
her
brother
in
a
jesting
way
,
that
as
she
could
scarce
dispence
with
the
rigid
rules
of
her
own
modesty
,
to
have
her
virgin
lips
so
assaulted
,
although
it
were
from
an
affectionate
brother
,
whose
innocent
vertue
was
beyond
all
possibility
of
scandall
,
so
did
she
of
the
other
fide
exceedingly
wonder
,
that
his
own
change
of
condition
,
which
onely
procured
his
safety
,
under
the
protection
of
the
Castle
,
where
for
the
present
they
remained
,
had
not
wrought
in
his
disposition
contrary
effects
,
to
that
quality
wherein
he
was
born
,
since
now
he
was
to
esteem
himselfe
rather
a
servant
to
fortune
,
then
a
Prince
by
extraction
:
not
a
Prince
,
replyed
Ascanius
?
the
gods
defend
,
I
should
ever
harbour
in
my
brest
such
poore
and
unworthy
thoughts
,
notwithstanding
the
injustice
or
malice
of
any
fortune
whatsoever
:
no
sister
,
be
you
assured
,
that
both
for
your
sake
and
my
own
,
I
shall
alwaies
endeavour
by
my
actions
,
to
shew
that
I
am
sonne
to
Euarchus
and
Hyacinthia
,
and
I
doubt
not
but
you
will
doe
the
like
concerning
your
own
particular
:
But
yet
,
replied
the
sweet
Princesse
,
we
are
obliged
in
some
sort
to
yield
to
our
fates
,
when
we
have
not
means
sufficient
left
us
to
prevent
them
;
for
if
the
Senate
,
by
a
certain
kind
of
a
tyrannicall
power
granted
them
by
the
heavens
(
perhaps
onely
in
correction
of
our
offences
)
doe
imprison
and
circumscribe
our
persons
,
what
matters
of
consequence
can
our
mindes
afford
us
to
our
advantage
in
such
exigencies
?
O
say
not
so
,
answered
Ascanius
;
for
the
mind
is
able
to
be
a
noble
conquerour
over
all
unfortunate
disasters
;
since
in
my
youthfull
studies
I
have
read
of
many
brave
persons
,
that
in
the
highest
expressions
of
tyranny
,
and
afflictions
imposed
upon
their
bodies
,
by
their
worst
and
greatest
enemies
,
have
at
last
in
despight
of
all
their
cruelty
,
born
away
the
onely
palme
and
Lawrell
of
victory
;
as
it
were
confounding
their
very
persecutors
,
with
the
extraordinary
constancy
of
their
own
sufferings
.
These
,
said
Cloria
,
I
must
confesse
are
brave
resolutions
in
words
,
if
they
can
be
as
well
practised
by
actions
:
for
I
must
tell
you
,
that
flesh
and
bloud
cannot
easily
put
off
all
naturall
inclinations
;
though
I
will
not
deny
,
but
the
soule
may
doe
miracles
,
being
ayded
by
divine
considerations
;
and
oftentimes
hath
demonstrated
wonderfull
effects
,
meerely
out
of
some
extraordinary
sense
,
or
inflammation
of
honour
,
both
by
Souldiers
and
Philosophers
.
Truly
,
said
Ascanius
,
then
it
were
very
hard
,
being
Kings
children
,
if
we
should
not
in
our
proceedings
meet
with
some
of
these
faculties
to
our
benefit
;
when
as
perhaps
contemptible
slaves
in
former
ages
have
aboundantly
exampled
to
our
knowledge
and
edification
,
such
heroicall
suffering
.
As
they
were
thus
discoursing
,
Roxana
,
who
had
for
a
long
space
kept
a
most
formall
and
grave
silence
,
thought
it
also
convenient
to
shew
her
own
wisdome
;
the
rather
,
since
her
yeeres
and
experience
,
pretended
to
a
certaine
kind
of
prerogative
amongst
those
of
the
younger
sort
of
people
.
Truely
,
said
she
,
as
I
cannot
deny
,
but
that
this
extraordinary
courage
you
mention
,
is
of
a
singular
benefit
to
many
sorts
of
people
,
in
their
pressing
and
difficult
occasions
;
yet
when
with
a
wise
(
though
not
a
base
)
complyance
,
we
can
avoyd
both
the
inconvenience
and
hazard
to
our selves
,
with
more
ease
and
no
dishonour
,
I
see
no
reason
,
why
we
should
goe
about
to
straine
nature
to
no
purpose
?
especially
if
we
be
not
well
assured
to
gaine
a
beneficiall
victory
by
the
contention
;
And
if
we
faile
in
that
we
seem
to
undertake
,
we
contract
thereby
a
further
mischiefe
and
disreputation
to
our selves
,
then
if
we
had
not
at
all
offered
to
contend
against
power
and
oppression
at
the
first
:
besides
oftentimes
those
resistances
in
the
dark
shall
never
come
truly
to
the
knowledge
of
the
world
,
so
that
consequently
we
faile
then
of
that
glory
,
our
foolish
and
preposterous
ambition
aymed
at
by
such
resolutions
:
by
which
means
we
shall
be
rather
enterpreted
to
be
blown
up
with
vain-glorious
fumes
,
then
seasoned
with
true
fortitude
:
In
time
the
best
mixture
must
be
so
to
moderate
our
actions
,
that
as
precipitately
we
put
not
our selves
upon
vain
and
needlesse
sufferings
,
without
necessity
,
so
ought
not
we
too
much
to
yield
to
the
inconstant
stroakes
of
fortune
and
oppression
,
when
either
honour
or
religion
calls
us
to
a
publique
demonstration
of
our
bravery
and
courage
.
But
however
these
disputations
might
either
confirme
Cloria
,
or
convert
her
brother
,
yet
Ascanius
finding
the
opportunity
,
for
his
own
desired
imployment
in
the
Kings
affaires
,
he
resolved
as
soon
as
possible
he
could
,
to
seek
occasion
for
his
own
speedy
departure
;
which
did
not
a
little
afflict
the
considerations
of
his
sweet
sister
the
Princesse
Cloria
,
who
began
to
contract
a
most
singular
delight
in
the
witty
conversation
of
her
deare
brother
.
Neverthelesse
she
resolved
not
to
be
so
great
a
friend
to
her
own
passions
,
as
to
become
thereby
an
enemy
to
his
honour
,
and
her
fathers
prosperity
:
so
that
this
being
after
some
consultation
determined
on
all
sides
,
Ascanius
intended
in
some
new
disguise
,
like
a
boy
belonging
to
the
Navy
,
to
steale
privately
away
to
sea
,
under
the
protection
of
those
officers
that
might
afford
him
the
conveniency
,
to
repaire
to
those
ships
that
had
revolted
from
the
Senates
service
