IN

a

of

,
was
a
Mayden
of
excellent
beautie
,

by
name
,
Daughter

.
This
Maiden
.ij.
yong
men

,
Strato
the
Horchomenian

and
Callisthenes

Aliartian
.
Strato
was
the
richer
and
much
more
inflamed
with
the
Loue

the
Damsell
:
for
by
chaunce
he
sawe
hir

Lebaida
,
when
she
washed

the
same
time
in
the
Fountaine
Herrina
,
&
was
going
to
King
Iupiter
with
a
consecrated
Caskette
.
Theophanes
being
vncertaine
what
to
doe
(
for
he
feared
Strato
,
as
one
,
who
both
in
wealth
and
parentage
surpassed
well
néere
all
the
Beotians
)
intended
to
go
and
aske
counsaile
of
the
Oracle
Trophonium
as

But
Strato

,
that
she
dyd
beare
more
affection
toward

,
that

Calisthenes
,
he
did
al
his
endeuour
,
that
she
might
haue
the
choise
to
marrie
:
but
after
that
Theophanes
in
the
presence
of
all
men
asked
his
daughter
as
touching
mariage
,
and
she
sayd
that
she
would
haue
Calisthenes
,
immediatly
it
apeared
that
Strato
toke
it
very
grieuously
.
Then
.ij.
dayes
after
he
came
to
Theophanes
,
and
Calisthenes
affirming
that
he
would
kepe
and
obserue
the
friendship
which
he
had
with
them
although
some
God
hath
enuied
at
his
mariage
:
they
commended
him
,
and
did
bid
him
to
the
mariage
dinner
.
Strato
prouided
a
great
companie
of
his
familiars
and
seruauntes
,
and
commaunded
all
,
to
disperse
themselues
some
here
,
some
there
,
and
as
it
were
to
hyde
themselues
among
the
assemblie
&
multitude
of
the
people
,
vntill
the
Mayden
wente
to
the
Fountaine
(
as
she
was
accustomed
)
which
is
called
Cnisoessa
,
Cnisoessa
a
Fountaine
.
the
she
might
with
greater
reuerence
do
sacrifice
to
the
Nimphes
,
which
sacrifices
were
called
Protelia
.
Protelea
a
kinde
of
sacrifice
.
Then
the
inuasion
being
made
,
they
which
were
set
in
the
ambush
toke
the
Maid
.
When
that
was
done
,
Strato
drewe
the
Mayde
towardes
hym
,
contrariwise
Calisthenes
(
as
it
beséemed
him
)
drew
hir
back
towards
him
:
the
like
did
the
companions
of
ech
other
,
euery
one
asmuch
as
in
them
lay
,
vntil
the
Mayden
was
rent
in
pieces
and
depriued
of
bir
life
betwéene
the
Relisters
handes
.
Calisthenes
then
by
&
by
withdrewe
himselfe
from
al
mens
companie
.
And
afterward
no
man
had
sure
knowledge
whether
he
slewe
himselfe
,
or
else
going
from
Beotia
liued
in
exile
.
But
Strato
in
the
sight
of
all
men
lying
vpon
the
Mayden
,
did
with
his
sworde
murder
himselfe
.
Of
a
Boy
that
was
rent
in
pieces
,
partly
by
him
that
offred
violence
vnto
him
&
partly
by
his
father
rescuing
him
.
WHen
a
certain
man
called
Phidon
,
practised
wyles
to
beare
rule
and
dominion
ouer
the
Peloponensians
,
and
would
haue
the
Citie
Argiua
,
where
he
was
borne
,
to
gouerne
other
Cities
,
first
he
practised
deceipt
with
the
Corinthians
:
for
he
sent
vnto
them
for
a
thousand
yong
men
,
excelling
as
well
in
strength
,
as
in
valiant
courage
.
Afterward
,
they
were
sent
Dexander
being
their
Captaine
.
Therfore
when
Phidon
was
minded
to
intrappe
them
,
that
he
might
weaken
Corinth
,
and
that
shée
did
all
things
at
hir
wil
and
pleasure
:
(
for
he
perceiued
that
to
be
as
it
were
the
onely
defence
of
all
Peloponesus
)
he
made
some
of
his
fellowes
partakers
with
him
in
the
whole
matter
.
Emong
them
also
there
was
a
certain
man
called
Abron
abiding
with
Dexander
,
which
disclosed
and
shewed
all
the
Conspiracie
:
whereby
it
came
to
passe
,
that
before
the
time
of
conspiracie
al
departed
from
Corinth
in
safetie
.
Phidon
serched
diligently
for
the
bewrayer
of
that
secrete
,
and
did
all
his
endeuour
about
that
.
Abron
truly
being
afrayde
,
he
togither
with
his
Wife
and
familie
went
to
Corinth
,
and
dwelled
in
Melissus
,
which
is
a
village
belonging
to
the
territorie
of
Corinth
.
There
he
begat
a
sonne
,
which
after
the
name
of
the
place
was
called
Melissus
:
this
Melissus
had
a
sonne
called
Acteon
,
Acteon
.
excelling
both
in
beautie
and
modestie
among
his
equals
.
Very
many
loued
hym
,
but
most
feruently
of
al
,
Archias
one
of
the
Heraclidians
stock
and
kindred
,
which
surmounted
al
the
Corinthians
both
in
riches
and
power
.
When
he
had
tempted
the
yong
man
,
but
all
in
vaine
,
he
sought
by
force
to
obtaine
his
desire
.
He
then
going
a
banketting
and
reuelling
to
Melissus
his
house
,
enuironed
and
accompained
with
a
great
companie
of
his
friends
and
seruants
,
assayd
to
cary
away
the
boy
.
His
father
then
resistyng
together
with
his
neighbours
,
which
came
in
all
haste
to
help
him
,
&
drawing
back
towards
them
the
sillie
wretch
,
in
the
resisters
handes
,
Acteon
was
rent
in
pieces
.
This
done
,
euery
man
wente
home
.
But
Melissus
brought
the
boy
his
carcasse
into
the
place
of
Iudgement
,
and
there
shewed
it
with
great
dolour
and
lamentation
,
and
also
earnestly
required
punyshment
for
the
authours
of
that
villanous
déede
.
Al
truly
toke
pitie
of
the
old
man
,
yet
did
they
nothing
beside
.
Therfore
when
he
came
home
,
the
matter
beyng
not
ended
,
obseruing
&
watching
for
the
time
,
when
the
great
assemblies
of
the
people
were
at
Isthmus
,
climyng
vpon
the
temple
of
Neptune
,
lamentably
desired
the
Corinthians
,
and
reckned
vp
the
benefits
of
his
father
Abron
,
and
when
hée
had
called
vpon
the
Gods
,
he
cast
him selfe
downe
headlong
from
the
Temple
.
Not
long
after
,
a
gret
violence
of
the
sea
&
pestilence
inuaded
the
Citie
.
The
Oracle
then
being
demaunded
as
concerning
the
health
of
the
citie
,
answered
,
that
it
was
the
wrath
of
Neptune
which
should
not
ceasse
vntill
they
did
reuenge
Acteon
his
death
.
Archias
hering
this
(
for
he
was
present
at
the
Oracle
)
returned
not
to
Corinth
,
but
sailing
into
Sicilia
,
Syracusas
built
by
Archias
.
buylte
Syracusas
,
and
when
hée
had
there
begotten
.ij.
daughters
,
Telephus
whose
floure
of
age
he
had
plucked
,
who
went
also
with
him
into
Sicilia
,
conspired
his
death
.
Of
two
Maidens
,
which
bicause
they
woulde
not
abandon
their
chastitie
to
two
yong
men
which
sought
it
,
were
by
them
defloured
,
and
after
that
slaine
.
And
how
their
father
in
seeking
reuengement
of
the
.ij.
yong
men
,
coulde
haue
no
iustice
executed
,
wherupon
he
slewe
him selfe
.
APore
man
called
Scedasus
dwelt
in
Leuctra
,
which
is
a
little
village
belonging
to
the
Territorie
of
Thespis
.
This
man
had
two
daughters
Hippo
and
Miletia
,
or
els
(
as
some
say
)
Theano
&
Euexippa
.
Scedasus
truly
was
an
honest
man
and
towards
straungers
very
gentle
,
although
he
were
of
no
great
possessions
.
Therefore
when
there
came
.ij.
yong
men
of
Sparta
to
his
house
,
Sparta
other
wise
called
Lacedemon
.
they
wer
very
gladly
intertained
.
And
being
there
at
oast
,
were
very
vehemently
inflamed
with
the
loue
of
the
maidens
,
but
the
honesty
and
good
intertainment
of
Scedasus
,
did
let
them
to
do
any
villanous
acte
.
The
next
day
,
they
directed
their
iourney
towards
Pitho
,
where
they
had
appointed
to
go
:
and
after
they
had
asked
counsaile
of
the
Oracle
of
Apollo
,
as
the
matter
required
,
returned
home
,
and
makyng
their
iourney
through
Beotia
,
wente
againe
to
Scedasus
his
house
.
Hée
by
good
aduenture
was
from
home
,
but
his
daughters
receyued
them
as
they
were
accustomed
,
who
when
they
had
found
them
alone
withoute
any
succour
or
ayde
,
they
defloured
them
:
whiche
innocent
Virgins
being
in
thraldome
and
trouble
when
they
sawe
beyonde
measure
to
tourment
them selues
continually
,
for
the
contumelie
and
reproche
receyued
,
killed
them
both
,
and
after
they
had
cast
the
carkases
into
a
Well
,
departed
from
thence
.
Scedasus
returning
home
,
sawe
the
Maidens
no
where
,
but
founde
all
thinges
in
safetie
which
he
lefte
there
,
and
being
vncertaine
of
al
things
,
stoode
still
a
pretie
space
,
vntil
a
little
Brache
,
signifying
by
his
whining
,
and
somtime
running
to
him
,
sometime
returning
to
the
well
,
he
coniectured
that
which
was
in
déede
,
then
pulled
he
out
his
daughters
bodies
.
And
when
his
neighbours
tolde
him
,
that
they
sawe
the
Lacedemonians
go
into
his
house
the
day
before
,
which
wer
at
host
,
and
lodged
with
him
a
fewe
dayes
past
,
he
surely
perceyued
that
they
committed
that
shamefull
and
hainous
acte
.
For
a
fewe
dayes
before
,
they
dyd
praise
the
Maydens
,
and
sayde
,
they
were
very
happie
,
whiche
should
mary
with
them
.
Wherfore
then
he
determined
to
goe
to
Lacedemon
,
and
to
declare
all
the
matter
to
the
high
officers
called
Ephori
,
desiring
aide
therin
.
Ephori
.
But
when
he
was
arriued
to
the
Territorie
of
Argos
,
being
preuented
by
night
rested
him selfe
in
an
Inne
,
where
was
also
an
other
olde
man
being
a
citizen
of
Oreum
,
which
is
a
towne
in
the
territorie
of
Estiatis
:
whome
when
he
sawe
making
a
lamentable
noise
,
and
cursing
the
Lacedemonians
,
asked
him
what
displeasure
the
Lacedemonians
had
done
vnto
him
.
He
declared
that
one
called
Aristodemus
,
a
Lacedemonian
,
but
sent
to
Oreum
,
there
to
beare
office
,
to
haue
vsed
extreme
crueltie
and
iniquitie
.
For
(
said
he
)
when
he
loued
my
sonne
,
and
coulde
not
atchieue
any
thing
by
desire
and
promise
,
vsing
violence
attempted
to
take
him
away
by
force
from
the
wrastlyng
place
,
but
the
master
of
the
wrastling
letting
it
,
and
many
yong
men
helping
him
forthwith
Aristodemus
departed
:
but
the
day
following
he
toke
away
the
Boy
by
force
,
and
carried
him
ouer
to
the
nexte
shoare
in
a
Galley
hauing
thrée
paire
of
ores
prepared
for
that
purpose
,
where
he
endeuored
to
defloure
the
boy
,
and
stoutly
striuing
with
him
,
slewe
him
with
his
sworde
.
Then
returning
back
to
Oreum
made
a
great
feast
.
Truly
I
in
the
mean
time
heard
a
shamefull
and
abhominable
acte
,
how
that
my
sonne
was
miserably
slain
by
the
hands
of
Aristodemus
,
wherfore
I
went
and
buried
his
body
.
Then
I
went
to
Lacedemon
,
and
declared
all
the
matter
to
the
high
officers
,
whereof
they
had
no
regarde
at
al.
Scedasus
hearing
this
was
greately
troubled
,
for
hée
supposed
that
they
would
not
haue
any
regard
of
him
:
(
as
they
had
not
in
dede
)
so
he
againe
for
his
parte
shewed
his
calamitie
and
miserie
to
the
stranger
.
He
willed
and
exhorted
him
not
to
go
to
the
high
officers
,
but
to
returne
to
Beotia
,
and
to
bury
his
children
.
Yet
Scedasus
would
not
be
persuaded
so
to
doe
.
Then
he
went
to
Lacedemon
,
and
communed
with
the
high
Officers
.
They
regarded
him
not
.
He
came
to
the
great
rich
men
shortly
after
,
making
suite
and
labour
to
all
the
communaltie
,
complaining
of
his
miserie
.
All
which
things
seing
they
had
no
good
successe
,
and
came
to
none
effect
,
Scedasus
ran
through
the
Citie
,
held
vp
his
handes
towardes
heauen
,
stroke
the
grounde
,
called
vpon
the
Furies
,
and
after
these
things
done
,
killed
himself
wilfully
.
Wherfore
not
long
after
,
the
Lacedemonians
suffered
punishement
.
Murder
punished
.
For
where
as
they
gouerned
all
Greece
,
and
had
fortified
all
their
Cities
with
garrisons
of
men
of
warre
,
Epaminundas
the
Thebane
lefte
not
one
of
them
aliue
,
which
wer
in
garrison
in
his
Citie
.
The
Lacedemonians
making
warre
,
the
Thebans
mette
them
at
Leuctra
,
surely
hoping
there
to
haue
the
victorie
.
For
they
recouered
before
in
the
very
same
place
their
libertie
,
at
such
time
as
Amphiction
was
driuen
into
exile
by
Sthelon
,
and
fled
for
succor
to
the
citie
of
Thebes
:
who
when
he
had
made
the
Calcidenses
tributarie
,
made
also
the
Thebanes
frée
from
paying
Tribute
,
for
so
much
as
he
slew
Chalcodontes
king
of
the
Euboians
.
Then
all
the
Lacedemonians
were
slain
&
put
to
flight
at
the
monument
of
Scedasus
his
daughters
.
It
was
reported
before
they
encountred
to
fight
,
that
Scedasus
appeared
to
Pelopida
,
one
of
the
souldiers
of
the
Theban
armie
,
who
being
afraid
of
certain
tokens
,
which
were
iudged
vnfortunat
,
was
bid
not
to
feare
saying
that
the
Lacedomonians
would
come
to
Leuctra
,
&
there
to
suffer
punishment
for
him
and
his
daughters
:
and
also
he
commaunded
that
they
should
not
march
forth
and
fight
with
their
enimies
,
before
they
did
offer
in
sacrifice
at
the
virgins
tombe
,
a
white
colte
,
which
should
be
there
in
a
redinesse
.
Scedasus
appeared
after
his
death
.
It
was
sayd
,
that
Pelopida
(
the
Lacedemonians
being
yet
in
warfare
at
Tegea
)
sent
to
Leuctra
certaine
men
,
which
should
séeke
and
make
inquisition
for
that
Tombe
,
and
all
the
whole
matter
being
found
out
,
and
knowen
of
the
inhabitauntes
,
he
broughte
forth
his
armie
,
and
so
he
wanne
the
victorie
.
Of
a
man
who
bicause
he
wold
not
marie
his
daughter
,
was
by
the
wowers
of
the
maiden
slaine
,
and
how
the
maide
escaped
from
them
,
in
declaring
also
the
deth
of
the
murderers
,
and
the
destruction
and
miserable
bondage
of
the
maintainers
.
THere
was
a
certain
man
called
Phocus
a
Beotian
borne
.
This
man
had
one
daughter
excelling
in
beautie
and
modestie
.
Thirtie
excellent
yong
men
of
the
Beotians
desired
hir
to
wife
.
But
Phocus
delaide
hir
mariage
from
day
to
day
,
fearing
lest
there
might
some
violence
be
offered
:
finally
they
askyng
hir
mariage
,
she
sayd
,
that
she
would
aske
counsaile
of
the
Oracle
of
Apollo
as
touching
that
choise
.
They
tooke
that
very
grieuously
,
and
violently
slew
Phocus
.
But
the
maiden
in
that
tumulte
and
trouble
fléeing
away
,
wandred
through
the
fields
,
and
the
yong
men
followed
hir
.
But
when
she
chaunced
among
husbandmen
,
whiche
heaped
vp
wheate
in
a
Barne
floore
,
they
saued
hir
life
:
for
they
hid
hir
in
the
Wheate
,
&
so
she
was
ouerpassed
by
them
,
which
pursued
hir
.
Who
when
shée
was
escaped
(
after
the
assemblie
customably
kept
and
common
to
all
the
Beotians
)
she
went
to
Coronea
,
&
there
humbly
knéeled
down
to
the
Altare
of
Minerua
.
There
declaring
the
iniquity
of
hir
wowers
,
shewed
both
the
name
of
euery
of
them
,
and
also
where
he
was
borne
.
Wherfore
the
Beotians
had
pitie
of
the
Maiden
,
and
were
angry
with
the
yong
men
.
But
when
they
heard
this
,
fled
to
Horc●menum
,
from
whence
being
repelled
,
went
to
Hippote
which
is
a
village
scited
nigh
to
Helicon
betwene
Thebes
and
Coronea
.
Then
they
receiued
them
.
After
this
,
the
Thebanes
sente
for
the
murderers
of
Phocus
,
and
required
the
same
to
bée
deliuered
vnto
them
.
Which
when
they
obtained
not
,
the
Thebans
togither
with
the
residue
of
the
Beotians
made
warre
vpon
them
.
Phedus
was
generall
Captaine
of
that
battaile
,
who
then
was
gouernor
of
the
Thebans
.
After
they
had
woonne
by
assault
the
village
,
being
very
strongly
fortified
,
and
the
inhabitantes
which
were
within
it
,
being
almost
dead
for
thirste
,
toke
the
murderers
of
Phocus
,
and
burned
them
,
but
the
inhabitantes
they
caried
with
them
,
and
brought
them
into
seruitude
and
bondage
,
rasing
their
walles
,
and
ouerthrowing
their
houses
:
this
done
,
the
Thebans
and
Coroneians
,
deuided
their
lande
betwéene
them
.
It
was
reported
,
the
nyght
before
the
captiuitie
of
the
Hippotans
,
A
voice
hard
that
there
was
a
voice
oftentimes
hearde
from
Helicon
,
which
sayde
,
I
am
at
hande
:
and
that
the
thirtie
yong
men
which
wowed
the
maiden
did
knowe
the
voice
,
bicause
it
was
like
vnto
that
of
Phocus
.
It
is
lefte
in
writing
,
that
the
same
day
they
went
to
battaile
,
A
wonder
.
the
old
mans
tombe
which
was
in
Clisans
,
to
haue
ouergrowen
with
Saffron
.
Worde
was
brought
to
Phedus
,
gouernour
and
generall
Capitaine
of
the
Thebans
,
returning
from
the
conflict
,
that
he
had
a
daughter
borne
,
whom
he
for
his
good
fortune
and
successe
,
called
Nicostrata
.
Of
a
man
who
was
iniustly
exiled
,
and
how
his
wife
bicause
she
was
destitute
of
all
helpe
and
succour
,
slewe
both
hir selfe
and
hir
daughters
.
A
Certaine
man
called
Alcippus
,
a
Lacedemonian
borne
,
maried
a
wife
called
Damocrita
,
and
of
hir
begat
.ij.
daughters
.
Who
for
as
much
as
he
had
very
greate
consideration
and
regarde
to
the
Citie
,
and
did
such
things
,
as
hée
perceiued
to
be
profitable
for
the
common
wealth
,
moued
all
mens
hatred
towards
him
,
which
maintained
and
nourished
all
naughtinesse
&
wyckednesse
in
the
weale
publike
:
by
whom
the
high
officers
(
called
Ephori
)
being
by
false
reportes
persuaded
,
that
Alcippus
wold
dissolue
and
breake
the
lawes
,
condemned
him
to
bannishment
.
He
departed
from
Lacedemon
,
but
Damocrita
his
wife
,
which
woulde
accompanie
hir selfe
togither
with
hir
daughters
,
wer
forbidden
.
Yea
moreouer
they
escheated
his
goodes
,
that
the
Maydens
might
haue
no
dowrie
.
But
when
many
desired
to
marie
with
them
,
bicause
of
their
fathers
vertue
,
they
were
prohibited
by
a
decrée
of
the
Senate
,
to
take
them
to
wife
,
bicause
they
sayd
,
that
their
mother
was
heard
to
desire
and
make
petition
,
that
hir
daughters
might
very
quickely
haue
children
,
which
might
restore
their
father
to
libertie
.
Seing
then
on
euery
side
Damocrita
was
impugned
&
resisted
,
she
repaired
to
a
certaine
common
assemblie
,
where
the
custome
was
that
the
wiues
togither
with
their
daughters
,
all
their
housholde
and
Children
,
shoulde
mete
togither
:
but
they
whiche
were
of
the
Nobilitie
remained
all
the
night
in
a
certaine
part
of
the
house
seuered
from
the
residue
.
There
she
girding
hir
swearde
vnder
hir
garmente
,
brought
forth
with
hir
,
hir
two
daughters
,
and
in
the
night
went
to
the
temple
,
and
the
time
being
obserued
&
watched
wherein
all
were
present
at
the
ceremonie
,
when
the
doores
were
shutte
,
she
heaped
togither
against
them
a
gret
abundance
of
wodde
:
for
so
muche
as
it
was
carried
togither
at
hande
,
and
was
ready
to
the
vse
of
sacrifices
.
Then
shée
set
it
on
fire
:
&
men
running
thither
on
euery
side
to
quench
it
,
Damocrita
slew
hir
daughters
,
next
hir self
:
Wherfore
,
when
they
had
none
,
on
whome
they
might
vtter
their
wrath
and
anger
,
did
cast
the
bodies
of
Damocrita
,
and
hir
daughters
,
without
the
borders
and
marches
of
their
countrey
.
Wherfore
Apollo
their
God
being
wroth
,
caused
(
as
it
is
written
)
the
great
earthquake
in
Lacedemon

The
Historie
of
Chariclia
and
Theagenes
Gathered
for
the
most
part
out
of
Heliodorus
a
Greeke
Authour
.
THE
ARGVMENT
.
Chariclia
is
wounded
to
the
harte
,
Theagenes
sustaineth
wofull
smarte
,
Charicles
doth
all
holsome
counsel
vse
,
Calasiris
doth
him
in
deedes
abuse
.
At
length
,
by
Calasiris
learned
skill
The
two
first
,
Louers
hot
,
obtain
their
will
.
THere
chaunced
on
a
tyme
at
Delphos
a
great
contention
for
Honours
sake
,
and
omong
al
other
there
were
two
goodly
personages
the
which
should
contend
togither
for
victorie
,
Cupid
being
arbitrator
and
defender
,
who
endeuoured
to
declare
by
these
two
mightie
Champions
,
which
he
matched
togither
,
his
gretest
bickring
broil
.
Such
a
thing
there
happened
which
all
Greece
behelde
,
and
Amphictiones
were
Iudges
thereof
.
After
that
many
things
were
nobly
atchieued
,
contention
in
running
,
gasping
in
wrasting
,
fighting
with
the
weapons
called
Coestus
:
Coestus
a
weapon
vsed
among
the
Greekes
,
hauing
plummets
of
Lead
hanging
at
it
.
smally
the
Crier
made
Proclamation
that
the
men
in
Armes
should
procede
and
come
forth
.
And
Chariclia
being
settled
nigh
to
the
place
where
their
valiant
faictes
shoulde
be
tried
,
shone
like
a
Starre
.
She
came
thither
,
although
vnwilling
,
bycause
of
the
Countrey
guise
:
or
rather
,
hoping
somewhere
to
sée
Theagenes
,
bearing
in
hir
left
hand
a
burning
Tortche
,
and
in
hir
other
hande
holding
out
a
branch
of
Palme
.
And
assoone
as
she
was
séene
by
and
by
al
the
multitude
turned
to
hir
.
But
I
knowe
not
whether
any
did
preuent
Theagenes
looke
,
for
a
Louer
is
redie
&
quick
to
sée
that
which
he
desireth
.
But
yet
he
moreouer
,
when
he
had
heard
before
that
which
should
be
,
notwithstanding
he
gaue
his
minde
wholy
to
hehold
Chariclia
.
Wherfore
he
could
not
holde
his
peace
,
but
sayde
softly
in
mine
eare
(
for
he
sate
nexte
to
me
of
a
set
purpose
)
she
yonder
whome
you
sée
,
(
sayde
he
)
is
Chariclia
.
I
bid
hun
to
be
quiet
and
say
no
more
.
At
the
Criers
Proclamation
there
came
one
in
handsome
Armoure
,
faire
to
sée
and
beholde
,
hauing
a
stoute
stomacke
,
and
he
alone
among
the
residue
renoumed
,
as
he
séemed
:
who
in
times
past
had
ben
coroned
at
manie
gret
games
,
but
then
had
he
none
,
with
whom
he
might
contend
:
no
man
(
as
I
suppose
)
daring
to
encounter
with
him
.
Wherefore
the
Iudges
called
Amphictiones
sente
him
away
:
for
the
lawe
doth
not
permit
to
giue
sentence
and
iudgement
that
he
should
weare
a
corone
,
who
hath
not
entred
into
the
games
and
won
the
victorie
.
He
requested
the
Crier
to
denounce
,
that
he
challenged
who
so
euer
would
come
.
The
Iudges
commaunded
,
the
Crier
proclamed
the
some
man
should
come
forth
to
trie
mastries
with
him
for
the
games
.
Theagenes
sayd
to
me
,
this
man
calleth
me
.
But
when
I
had
asked
him
howe
he
spoke
that
.
Thus
it
shall
be
father
,
sayd
he
.
No
other
man
in
my
sight
and
presence
shal
take
away
the
reward
&
victory
out
of
Chariclias
hands
.
Doest
thou
nothing
at
all
regarde
,
and
weigh
(
sayd
I
)
the
frustration
and
ignomie
which
followeth
it
?
Who
(
sayd
he
)
will
contende
so
furiously
to
sée
and
approch
to
Chariclia
,
that
he
preuent
me
?
To
whom
truly
may
hir
loke
giue
wings
and
lifte
him
vp
on
highe
,
as
well
as
to
me
?
Art
thou
ignoraunt
that
Painters
make
Loue
to
haue
wings
:
signifying
as
it
were
by
a
Riddle
,
the
dexteritie
&
nunblenesse
of
them
,
who
are
detained
with
it
?
But
if
it
behoue
thée
to
set
out
those
things
which
are
already
spoken
with
bragging
&
boasting
,
no
man
vntil
this
day
hath
auaunted
that
he
hath
ouer
runned
me
on
foote
.
After
these
thinges
spoken
he
rushed
forth
,
and
going
in
among
the
people
,
he
tolde
his
name
,
&
declared
his
stocke
,
and
did
choose
a
place
to
runne
:
and
after
he
had
put
on
al
his
Armour
,
he
stoode
at
the
entrance
of
the
coursing
place
,
ready
to
runne
his
race
,
and
commaunded
that
signe
shoulde
bée
made
by
the
trumpet
,
but
scarcely
looked
for
it
.
It
was
an
excellent
fight
,
&
goodly
to
beholde
,
much
like
to
that
sight
which
Homere
bringeth
in
,
wherein
Achilles
fighteth
at
Scamander
.
All
Greece
was
moued
at
that
dede
which
chaunced
contrary
to
the
Gréekish
opinion
:
and
desired
that
Theagenes
might
become
Conquerour
,
no
otherwise
than
if
eche
of
them
should
trie
for
the
maistrie
.
A
great
force
hath
euen
the
beautie
of
the
face
to
purchase
good
wil
of
the
beholders
.
Chariclia
was
also
moued
beyond
measure
,
and
chaunged
into
diuers
countenaunces
.
For
after
(
so
that
all
might
heare
)
the
Crier
had
reported
,
and
proclaimed
,
Ormenus
the
Arcadian
,
and
Theagenes
the
Thessalian
,
they
began
to
make
their
course
,
and
it
was
such
,
that
it
was
almoste
done
at
the
twinkling
of
an
eye
.
The
Virgin
could
not
abyde
there
any
longer
in
quiet
,
but
hir
pace
was
moued
and
hir
féete
did
leape
for
ioye
:
as
thoughe
hir
minde
were
taken
awaye
with
Theagenes
,
helping
him
in
his
course
:
and
euery
one
of
the
lookers
on
,
stoode
in
doubt
of
the
successe
,
&
were
replenished
with
pensiuenesse
.
When
they
had
already
run
halfe
their
course
,
Theagenes
tournyng
him selfe
a
little
,
and
looking
earnestly
vpon
Ormenus
with
a
frowning
face
,
lifted
his
shield
aboue
his
head
,
&
with
streight
stretched
necke
,
and
chearefull
countenance
,
altogither
fixed
vpon
Chariclia
,
at
last
came
to
the
ende
of
his
course
:
and
did
so
much
outrunne
the
Arcadian
that
he
was
left
behinde
Theagenes
many
pases
:
whiche
distance
after
was
measured
.
Then
hée
running
to
Chariclia
,
did
of
a
sette
purpose
fall
vpon
hir
breast
,
as
though
hée
coulde
not
refraine
and
withholde
the
violence
of
his
course
,
&
when
he
toke
away
the
Palme
branch
,
it
was
not
vnknowen
the
he
kissed
the
maidens
hed
.
Theagenes
hauing
won
the
victorie
was
coroned
,
&
declared
conquerour
,
&
brought
home
honorably
,
with
the
reioysing
of
all
men
,
for
the
good
fortune
whiche
had
hapned
vnto
him
.
Chariclia
truly
was
quite
and
cleane
conquered
,
and
bond
to
Loue
,
more
than
she
was
before
,
when
she
had
séene
againe
Theagenes
.
For
the
mutuall
regard
and
beholding
of
louers
is
the
remembrance
and
renuing
of
affection
,
and
sight
inflameth
the
minde
,
euen
as
fire
which
is
layde
to
wood
.
And
she
comming
home
passed
that
night
like
the
first
,
or
rather
more
heauily
.
The
morning
after
,
there
came
one
Calasiris
to
Chariclia
,
and
found
certain
of
hir
very
friendes
wéeping
,
and
Charicles
hir
father
,
not
a
little
mourning
:
wherfore
comming
neare
,
demaunded
what
the
tumult
was
.
Charicles
sayd
:
My
daughters
disease
is
woxen
more
greuous
and
feruent
than
it
was
before
,
as
she
hath
proued
the
night
past
.
Get
ye
hence
(
sayd
he
)
and
depart
,
and
let
one
bring
the
thrée
footed
table
in
place
,
laurel
,
fire
,
and
Frankencense
,
&
let
no
man
trouble
me
,
vntill
I
call
.
Charicles
commaunded
these
things
,
and
they
were
obeyed
.
Wherfore
hauing
oportunitie
,
he
began
to
play
a
part
as
it
were
vppon
a
stage
,
and
burned
the
incense
,
and
made
certaine
prayers
with
muttering
lippes
,
and
oftentimes
putting
vp
and
downe
the
Laurel
from
Chariclias
head
to
hir
féete
,
who
yauned
like
one
which
lacked
sléepe
,
or
rather
like
an
olde
woman
:
at
length
he
left
off
,
but
too
late
,
whilest
he
had
vttered
&
shewed
his
trifling
toyes
against
him selfe
and
the
Maiden
.
Shée
oftentimes
shaked
hir
head
,
and
smiled
,
signfying
therby
,
that
he
was
vtterly
deceiued
,
and
was
ignorant
of
the
disease
.
Wherefore
sitting
more
néere
vnto
hir
,
sayd
:
Be
of
good
cheare
,
for
the
disease
is
vulgar
and
common
,
and
easie
to
bée
cured
:
You
were
bewitched
withoute
doubt
,
when
you
were
at
the
Pompe
&
solemne
sight
,
but
more
,
when
you
bare
rule
at
the
games
.
Truely
I
suspect
him
who
hath
bewitched
you
.
It
is
Theagenes
,
whiche
striued
in
the
armed
course
.
Neither
was
it
vnknowen
,
that
oftentimes
he
beheld
thée
,
and
did
caste
wanton
lookes
on
thée
.
Then
sayd
she
?
whether
he
so
looked
on
me
or
not
,
it
is
of
greate
force
.
But
what
countrie
man
is
he
,
or
where
was
he
borne
?
for
I
sawe
many
meruaile
at
him
with
great
admiration
.
You
haue
heard
before
of
the
crier
that
he
is
a
Thessalian
borne
,
when
he
proclaimed
him
.
He
referreth
himself
to
Achilles
,
as
author
of
his
stock
,
and
he
séemeth
to
me
of
good
right
to
chalenge
the
same
,
gathering
it
by
his
talnesse
&
fauour
,
declaring
and
confirming
in
him
Achilles
nobilitie
&
puissant
corage
,
besides
that
he
is
not
arrogant
,
nor
presumpous
as
he
was
,
but
doth
appease
&
moderat
his
fiercenesse
of
minde
&
hautinesse
with
swéetnesse
&
pleasantnesse
of
manners
.
Whiche
although
it
be
so
,
yet
hée
sustaineth
more
grieuous
gripes
assayling
his
heauie
heart
than
he
caused
:
although
he
haue
an
enuious
eye
,
and
hath
bewitched
thée
with
his
looke
.
O
father
Calasiris
(
sayd
she
)
I
thanke
thée
,
that
thou
art
sorrowfull
on
my
behalfe
,
and
takest
it
displesantly
:
but
why
dost
thou
in
vaine
curse
him
who
hath
done
vs
no
iniurie
:
I
am
not
bewitched
,
nor
as
the
common
people
terme
it
,
forlooked
:
but
I
haue
(
as
it
séemeth
)
an
other
disease
.
Why
doest
thou
conceale
it
my
daughter
(
sayd
he
)
and
dost
not
rather
boldly
vtter
it
,
that
so
much
the
easier
we
may
finde
helpe
and
remedie
:
Am
not
I
thy
father
in
age
,
or
rather
in
good
will
?
Am
not
I
knowen
to
thy
father
,
&
altogither
of
his
counsell
?
She
we
me
what
griefe
thou
hast
,
thou
shalt
finde
me
a
faithfull
friende
,
and
if
thou
wilt
,
I
will
be
bound
with
an
oth
.
Speake
boldly
,
and
let
not
sorrowe
take
force
through
silence
.
For
euery
sicknesse
which
is
soone
knowen
,
may
easily
be
cured
:
but
that
which
hath
ben
of
long
continuance
,
is
almost
incurable
,
and
as
Ouide
sayth
in
his
bookes
Of
the
Remedie
of
Loue
.
Preuent
the
grounds
of
griping
griefe
to
late
is
Physike
giuen
,
When
maladies
through
lingring
long
from
bodies
are
not
driuen
.
Silence
is
the
noursse
of
diseases
:
but
bicause
silence
is
broken
,
it
may
easly
be
assuaged
through
consolation
.
Afterward
she
staying
a
little
at
these
wordes
,
and
declaring
by
hir
countenance
the
variable
and
diuers
mutations
and
affections
of
hir
minde
,
shée
sayde
:
Giue
me
this
dayes
respite
,
and
after
thou
shalte
heare
and
vnderstande
the
matter
,
except
thou
knewest
it
before
,
for
as
muche
as
thou
wilt
séeme
to
be
skilfull
in
the
Arte
of
Prophecie
.
He
rose
vp
,
and
departed
,
giuing
licence
to
the
Mayden
,
that
in
the
meane
time
she
might
moderate
the
shamfastnesse
of
hir
minde
.
Charicles
hir
father
met
with
him
,
and
he
asked
him
what
newes
,
he
told
him
all
things
wer
fortunate
,
for
his
daughter
Chariclia
should
be
deliuered
the
day
following
of
hir
grief
.
And
with
these
words
he
made
haste
away
,
that
he
might
not
demaund
more
things
of
him
.
And
when
he
was
a
little
past
the
house
,
he
sawe
Theagenes
there
walking
about
the
Churche
,
and
Churchyarde
,
and
talking
with
him self
,
as
though
it
suffised
him
,
if
he
saw
Chariclias
dwelling
place
,
whiche
was
not
farre
from
the
church
.
Wherfore
he
turned
out
of
the
waye
,
passing
by
him
,
as
though
he
had
not
séen
him
.
But
he
said
:
God
saue
you
Calasiris
,
&
a
worde
or
.
tj
.
with
you
,
for
I
looked
for
you
:
Sodainly
he
turned
about
saying
:
what
faire
Theagenes
is
it
you
?
In
faith
I
thought
not
on
you
.
Why
is
he
beautifull
(
sayde
he
)
which
contenteth
not
Chariclia
?
he
made
semblant
that
he
was
in
a
fume
&
chafe
,
and
sayd
:
Thou
wilt
not
ceasse
despitefully
to
reproue
me
,
&
my
arte
,
whereby
she
is
nowe
caught
in
the
snare
,
and
constrained
to
loue
thée
,
and
(
as
it
were
)
doth
desire
to
sée
some
excellente
man
.
What
sayest
thou
father
Calasiris
sayd
he
?
that
Chariclia
séeth
me
?
Wherfore
then
dost
thou
not
conduct
me
vnto
hir
?
and
therwithall
he
ranne
forth
.
Then
he
taking
him
by
the
cloke
,
sayde
:
Stande
here
,
although
thou
be
swifte
on
foote
.
This
businesse
is
not
like
a
bootie
,
nor
easie
to
attaine
,
and
sette
out
for
euery
man
that
will
:
but
it
néedeth
greate
aduisement
,
that
it
may
be
well
brought
to
passe
,
and
great
preparation
that
it
may
be
surely
done
.
Arte
thou
ignorant
that
the
Virgins
father
is
in
greate
dignitie
and
estimation
at
Delphos
.
Do
not
the
lawes
come
to
thy
remembrance
,
which
do
appoint
and
ordaine
death
for
suche
men
?
It
maketh
no
great
matter
(
sayde
he
)
althoughe
I
die
,
hauing
obtained
Chariclia
,
which
is
my
desire
:
but
notwithstanding
,
if
you
thinke
best
,
let
vs
go
to
hir
father
,
and
request
him
to
giue
me
his
daughter
in
mariage
.
We
are
not
truely
vnworthie
to
ioyne
affinitie
with
Charicles
.
We
shall
not
obtaine
it
(
sayde
he
)
not
bycause
there
is
any
thing
,
that
may
be
reprehended
or
missed
in
you
:
but
Charicles
of
late
hath
promised
the
birgin
in
mariage
to
his
sisters
sonne
.
He
will
wéepe
(
sayd
Theagenes
at
the
length
,
what
soeuer
he
be
:
no
man
liuing
as
long
as
I
haue
breathe
in
my
body
,
shall
marrie
with
Chariclia
,
and
enioy
hir
as
his
wife
:
This
hande
and
sworde
of
myne
shall
not
lie
so
long
still
and
vnoccupied
.
Leaue
off
(
sayde
he
)
there
shal
be
no
néede
of
any
such
thing
:
onely
obey
me
,
and
do
as
I
commaunde
thée
.
For
this
time
depart
,
and
beware
,
thou
be
not
founde
often
to
commen
with
me
,
but
when
thou
méetest
with
me
,
come
to
me
quietly
,
and
by
your selfe
.
He
departed
somwhat
sorowful
.
The
next
day
after
Charicles
méeting
with
Calasiris
as
soone
as
hée
sawe
him
,
he
ranne
vnto
him
,
and
many
times
kissed
his
head
,
continually
crying
out
:
Wysedome
is
much
worth
,
Frendship
is
much
worth
,
thou
haste
brought
a
greate
matter
to
passe
.
She
is
taken
,
which
was
hard
to
be
taken
,
and
she
is
conquered
,
whiche
was
before
vnconquerable
.
Chariclia
is
in
loue
.
Herevnto
he
reioyced
,
and
looked
with
graue
countenance
,
and
stately
going
,
sayde
:
There
was
no
doubte
,
but
she
coulde
not
sustain
the
first
brunt
,
seing
truely
as
yet
I
did
put
no
greater
thing
vnto
hir
.
But
whereby
Charicles
haue
you
found
hir
to
be
a
louer
?
I
was
persuaded
by
thée
,
sayd
he
.
When
I
had
gotten
approued
and
tried
Phisitions
euen
as
you
warned
me
,
I
brought
them
to
looke
vpon
hir
,
promising
the
riches
which
I
had
,
for
a
rewarde
,
if
they
could
cure
hir
.
They
as
soone
as
they
were
entred
,
demaunded
of
hir
what
disease
she
had
?
She
verily
turning
hir
face
with
a
loude
voice
,
rehearsed
this
Verse
out
of
Homere
.
Achilles
tall
and
stoute
,
farre
passeth
all
the
Greekes
.
Acestinus
,
a
wise
man
(
perhaps
you
know
the
man
)
takyng
hir
by
the
wrest
against
hir
wyll
,
he
séemed
to
iudge
hir
disease
by
hir
pulse
,
declaring
(
as
I
suppose
)
the
beating
of
the
heart
.
And
when
a
long
space
he
had
felt
hir
pulse
,
and
had
behelde
oftentimes
to
rise
vp
and
down
.
O
Charicles
(
sayd
he
)
thou
hast
brought
vs
hither
in
vaine
,
for
Physike
will
nothing
auail
in
this
maiden
.
But
I
made
an
exclamation
,
saying
:
O
God
,
why
sayest
thou
so
:
is
then
my
daughter
past
recouerie
,
and
now
without
all
hope
of
helth
?
Trouble
not
thy self
(
sayd
he
)
but
giue
eare
what
I
say
,
&
when
he
had
led
me
apart
fro
the
maiden
&
others
:
Our
facultie
(
sayde
he
)
professeth
to
cure
the
diseased
body
,
and
principally
not
of
the
minde
,
but
then
only
,
when
he
sustaineth
griefe
with
the
afflicted
body
:
the
body
being
healed
,
the
mind
togither
is
holpen
,
and
recouereth
.
Moreouer
,
the
maiden
hath
a
disease
,
but
not
of
the
bodie
,
for
there
aboundeth
no
humour
,
the
paine
of
the
head
grieueth
hir
not
,
no
feuer
inflameth
hir
,
nothing
in
hir
body
,
neither
part
,
neither
all
,
is
detained
with
sicknesse
.
This
truely
,
is
not
to
be
accompted
as
true
,
nor
any
thing
els
.
But
I
ernestly
desiring
and
requiring
him
to
tell
me
,
if
he
vnderstoode
any
thing
:
Is
it
not
(
sayd
he
)
knowen
also
to
the
Maiden
,
that
it
is
an
affection
and
disease
of
the
mind
,
which
is
manifest
loue
?
Dost
thou
not
sée
,
that
hir
eyes
swell
and
rise
vp
,
and
hir
looke
set
awry
,
hir
face
pale
,
not
complaining
in
hir
heart
?
Moreouer
hir
minde
runneth
,
and
what
so
euer
commeth
to
minde
she
vttereth
,
and
she
is
vigilant
and
wakefull
without
cause
.
In
brief
,
she
hath
sodainly
lost
the
moisture
of
hir
body
,
and
the
iust
quantitie
thereof
.
Thou
muste
séeke
some
man
Charicles
,
if
it
be
possible
.
And
when
he
had
spoken
these
wordes
,
he
departed
.
I
truly
made
haste
towardes
thée
,
which
art
my
sauiour
and
my
god
,
who
onely
arte
able
to
pleasure
vs
,
which
I
and
she
do
acknowledge
.
For
I
earnestly
asking
hir
,
and
instantly
desiring
hir
to
tell
me
what
she
ailed
,
she
answered
in
few
,
that
she
was
ignorant
,
what
had
hapned
vnto
hir
,
but
she
knew
,
that
Calasiris
and
none
els
could
cure
hir
grief
,
and
she
requested
me
to
call
thée
vnto
hir
,
wherby
I
did
very
much
coniecture
,
that
she
was
catched
in
the
snare
by
thy
wisedome
.
Canst
thou
tell
(
sayde
hée
to
Calasiris
)
as
she
loueth
,
so
him
whom
she
loueth
?
No
by
the
faith
of
my
bodie
(
sayd
he
)
for
how
or
wherby
should
I
know
this
?
I
woulde
wish
truely
that
she
would
loue
Alcamenes
aboue
all
things
,
whome
of
late
by
my
will
and
consent
,
I
haue
appointed
to
bée
hir
husbande
.
And
after
Calasiris
had
sayde
,
that
it
were
good
to
trie
what
she
would
do
,
if
he
brought
in
the
yong
man
,
and
shew
him
to
hir
,
he
commended
his
counsell
,
and
wente
hys
way
.
Againe
at
such
tune
as
the
place
of
common
Iudgement
was
replenished
with
a
multitude
of
people
,
by
chaunce
he
meting
with
him
,
sayde
:
I
will
tell
shée
a
grieuous
and
vnpleasaunt
thing
:
My
daughter
séemeth
to
bée
distraught
of
witte
,
so
straunge
a
thing
hath
attached
hir
.
I
brought
before
hir
(
as
you
counselled
me
)
Alcamenes
,
in
trimme
attire
,
I
presented
him
.
Shée
verily
,
as
though
she
had
séene
Gorgons
head
,
or
some
thing
more
fearefuil
,
with
a
loude
and
shrill
voice
exclamed
,
and
turned
hir
face
to
an
other
part
of
the
chamber
,
and
clasping
hir
handes
about
hir
necke
,
she
threatned
to
kill
hir selfe
,
and
bounde
it
with
an
othe
,
except
we
made
hast
out
.
We
departed
from
hir
in
greate
haste
:
for
what
should
we
do
,
seing
so
great
an
inconuenience
growing
?
I
am
come
to
thée
(
sayd
he
)
again
,
requesting
thée
that
thou
wilt
not
suffer
hir
to
perishe
,
and
me
to
be
frustrate
of
my
desire
.
O
Charicles
(
sayd
he
)
thou
didst
not
say
amisse
that
thy
daughter
was
distract
of
witte
,
for
the
multitude
moued
hir
,
which
I
sent
to
hir
,
and
the
same
not
small
,
but
which
compelled
hir
,
as
reson
required
,
to
doe
those
things
which
she
abhorred
by
nature
.
Returne
home
,
and
wyth
gentle
communication
ceasse
not
to
seke
the
secretes
of
thy
daughters
heart
,
in
so
doing
at
lengthe
shée
will
disclose
vnto
you
the
priuie
thoughts
of
hir
heart
:
for
as
the
Prouerbe
is
,
the
oke
is
cut
down
&
felled
to
the
grounde
with
many
strokes
:
so
she
will
relent
at
many
demaundes
although
at
the
firste
,
seconde
,
and
thirde
time
,
she
make
deniall
to
tell
,
yet
at
length
by
continuall
crauing
to
know
hir
minde
,
she
wil
make
you
partaker
of
all
hir
imaginations
,
and
purposed
pretence
.
Wherfore
reiecte
not
my
counsell
as
vaine
,
not
myne
,
but
rather
of
the
lerned
Poet
Tibullus
,
who
sayth
:
Long
time
doth
cause
the
Lions
fierce
men
to
obay
:
Long
time
doth
water
freate
in
stones
a
hollow
way
.
These
wordes
spoken
,
he
departed
folowing
Calasiris
counsell
as
good
&
holsome
.
When
he
came
home
,
he
founde
his
daughter
oppressed
with
hir
accustomed
cares
,
and
voide
of
all
comfort
and
consolation
,
sayd
vnto
hir
.
Thy
griefe
my
onely
daughter
and
ioy
,
doth
no
lesse
vexe
and
torment
thée
,
than
trouble
and
disquiet
me
,
for
nature
compelleth
me
so
to
do
,
and
the
humble
obedience
,
which
I
haue
always
founde
in
thée
.
Wherefore
my
dearling
,
and
daughter
,
for
a
little
space
disclose
the
cause
of
thy
paine
,
and
authour
of
thy
sorrowe
,
that
thou
maist
be
cured
and
obtaine
thy
heartes
desire
.
This
sayde
,
she
set
asyde
hir
sadde
countenance
,
and
began
with
chéerefull
face
,
to
looke
,
making
semblant
as
though
she
would
disclose
hir
griefe
,
yet
she
concealed
it
,
consideryng
the
sequele
,
what
might
befall
of
it
,
for
shée
thoughte
perhaps
that
she
shoulde
be
depriued
of
him
whome
she
loued
,
if
he
were
not
to
my
contentation
:
and
thinking
the
worste
,
disclosed
no
part
of
hir
minde
.
The
next
day
séeing
hys
wordes
coulde
not
preuaile
,
came
to
Calasiris
,
saying
:
I
pray
thée
Calasiris
,
trie
what
thou
art
able
to
doe
,
and
I
hope
by
our
two
meanes
,
shée
will
declare
the
cause
and
foundation
of
hir
maladie
and
thornie
thoughtes
.
My
good
will
shall
not
faile
Charicles
,
sayd
Calasiris
,
to
do
thée
pleasure
.
Wherfore
I
will
proue
what
I
am
able
to
do
with
hir
.
The
nexte
daye
after
hauing
visited
Chariclia
,
he
met
with
Charicles
hir
father
,
who
as
soone
as
he
approched
nigh
vnto
him
,
he
asked
him
as
touching
his
daughter
.
Calasiris
aunswered
,
that
he
coulde
not
as
yet
féele
the
bottome
of
hir
minde
,
hoping
notwithstanding
at
length
to
know
hir
whole
minde
.
With
these
wordes
and
suche
other
like
,
he
deceiued
Charicles
.
He
at
that
very
time
vnderstode
hir
whole
minde
,
which
hée
disclosed
to
a
friende
of
Theagenes
,
called
Cnemon
,
as
followeth
.
When
(
sayd
he
)
I
came
vnto
hir
,
I
found
hir
alone
,
altogither
wearied
with
the
affection
,
&
endeuouring
to
striue
against
hir
mind
,
being
altogither
afflicted
in
body
,
when
she
had
yelded
to
the
disease
,
and
coulde
not
resist
it
comming
with
greate
force
,
after
that
I
had
sette
them
aside
which
were
present
,
and
had
commaunded
that
no
man
shuld
make
any
sturre
,
as
though
I
woulde
say
certaine
prayers
and
inuocations
ouer
the
mayden
:
The
time
is
nowe
come
Chariclia
(
sayde
I
)
to
tell
what
thou
aylest
(
for
so
thou
didst
make
promise
yesterday
)
and
not
to
conceale
the
man
which
beareth
thée
good
will
,
I
can
know
al
things
,
although
thou
kéepe
silence
.
She
tooke
me
by
the
hande
,
and
kissing
it
,
wept
,
and
said
:
O
sage
Calasiris
,
shewe
me
first
this
fauoure
,
suffer
me
,
holding
my
peace
to
be
vnhappie
,
seing
thou
(
as
thou
sayst
)
doest
knowe
the
disease
,
and
suffer
me
to
accompt
as
gaines
,
the
ignomie
which
I
haue
auoyded
,
concealing
such
things
,
which
as
wel
to
suffer
,
is
filthie
,
as
especially
to
vtter
,
is
more
filthie
.
Although
truely
,
a
strong
disease
hath
striken
me
,
but
that
hath
more
enfebled
me
,
that
at
the
beginning
I
did
not
ouercome
the
disease
,
but
am
conquered
of
affection
,
which
hath
alwayes
bene
spitefull
to
me
before
this
time
,
and
euen
with
his
hearing
doeth
contaminate
the
reuerent
name
of
virginitie
.
And
he
auouching
&
affirming
the
same
sayd
:
O
daughter
,
thou
doest
wisely
,
in
that
thou
kepest
close
thy
counsels
,
for
I
néede
not
knowe
such
things
as
of
late
I
haue
found
out
by
my
arte
:
and
not
without
a
cause
thou
art
ashamed
to
shewe
suche
things
which
beséemeth
women
to
kepe
close
.
But
bicause
thou
hast
once
felt
the
firie
flames
of
loue
,
and
the
sight
of
Theagenes
hath
deceiued
thée
(
a
diuine
prophecie
truely
shewed
me
this
)
vnderstande
that
thou
art
not
alone
,
nor
the
first
which
hath
proued
this
affection
,
but
many
noble
women
,
and
many
virgins
also
,
and
the
same
touching
all
other
things
chaste
.
Loue
truly
is
the
greatest
of
the
Gods
,
as
Euripides
sayth
,
and
oftentymes
is
sayde
to
ouercome
them
,
as
Ouide
writeth
:
Both
rule
and
power
he
hath
ouer
the
Gods
aboue
.
Moreouer
,
consider
howe
thou
maiste
best
dispose
thy
matters
at
this
present
.
Truely
it
is
a
certaine
blessyng
in
the
beginning
to
be
voide
of
loue
:
but
when
thou
art
in
loue
to
reduce
the
minde
to
moderation
,
it
is
a
singular
wisedome
.
Which
thou
maist
do
,
if
thou
wilt
beleue
me
:
euen
to
bannishe
the
filthie
name
of
inordinate
desire
,
and
to
imbrace
the
laufull
bonde
of
mariage
,
and
to
tourne
the
disease
into
wedlocke
.
After
these
wordes
Cnemon
,
she
fell
in
a
greate
sweate
,
and
it
was
manifest
altogither
,
that
shée
did
reioyce
in
the
things
whiche
shée
hadde
hearde
,
she
was
sollicitous
and
carefull
for
those
thyngs
which
shée
hoped
:
Finally
she
was
ashamed
for
the
testimonie
of
suche
things
which
she
did
beare
in
hir
minde
,
in
which
she
was
manifestly
perceiued
.
Then
when
shée
had
paused
a
pretie
space
:
O
father
Calasiris
,
(
sayde
she
)
thou
makest
mention
of
mariage
,
and
dost
bid
me
to
embrace
it
,
as
though
it
were
manifest
,
that
either
my
father
will
assent
vnto
it
,
or
that
my
enimie
will
go
aboute
it
.
As
touching
the
yong
man
(
sayd
he
)
it
is
sure
ynoughe
,
for
he
is
more
in
loue
than
you
are
,
being
troubled
with
the
like
cause
.
Truly
as
it
is
méete
,
the
mindes
of
you
both
,
at
the
first
méeting
,
knew
the
mutuall
dignitie
of
one
an
other
,
and
fell
into
a
like
affection
,
I
truly
pleasuring
thée
,
did
augment
his
desire
.
Verily
your
father
prouideth
you
an
other
husbande
,
Alcamenes
you
know
him
well
inough
.
Then
sayde
she
:
Let
him
prouide
a
graue
for
Alcamenes
before
he
marrie
with
me
:
Doubtlesse
Theagenes
shall
marrie
me
,
or
else
death
shal
take
me
.
Wel
sayd
he
,
thou
muste
make
semblaunt
as
though
thou
doest
allowe
Alcamenes
mariage
.
It
is
a
grieuous
thing
(
sayd
she
)
and
also
dishonest
to
promyse
an
other
before
Theagenes
:
but
bicause
my
father
hath
committed
me
to
the
power
of
the
gods
,
and
you
also
,
let
me
knowe
what
scope
and
ende
this
fained
deuise
hath
,
that
it
may
be
dissolued
before
it
be
brought
to
the
point
.
In
very
trouth
(
sayd
he
)
thou
shalt
know
it
.
Certaine
things
tolde
before
to
women
,
sometimes
haue
caused
delayes
:
the
same
béeing
begon
out
of
hande
to
bée
done
oftentimes
,
are
more
couragiously
atchieued
.
Folow
onely
my
aduise
as
well
in
other
things
,
as
especially
at
this
present
,
that
thou
maiste
accommodate
thy selfe
to
fulfill
Charicles
minde
,
who
wil
do
nothing
without
my
aduise
and
counsell
.
These
things
shée
promised
,
&
he
departing
from
hir
,
lefte
hir
mourning
.
When
he
was
scarce
out
of
the
doores
,
I
sawe
Charicles
very
sad
and
full
of
sorrow
,
and
comming
to
him
sayde
:
O
noble
Charicles
,
séeing
it
behoueth
thée
to
reioyce
and
be
glad
,
and
to
doe
sacrifice
to
the
Gods
for
thankes
giuing
,
hauing
obtained
such
things
,
as
of
late
thou
diddest
desire
,
Chariclia
at
length
through
great
skill
and
wisdome
is
inclined
to
mariage
.
Thou
art
sorowfull
and
sad
,
and
doest
mourne
I
know
not
for
what
mischaunce
.
He
answered
.
But
why
should
I
not
?
séeing
it
muste
bée
,
that
the
dearest
dearling
I
haue
aliue
,
shal
before
she
marrie
,
be
caried
into
a
straunge
countrey
:
for
I
oughte
to
assent
to
the
dreames
,
as
well
as
to
other
,
so
especially
to
these
,
whiche
this
night
feared
me
.
Me
séemed
I
sawe
an
Egle
sent
out
from
Apollos
hand
,
when
sodainly
he
had
taken
his
flight
,
alas
violently
toke
my
daughter
from
me
,
bearing
hir
to
an
extreme
border
of
the
land
I
know
not
where
,
full
of
dark
and
shadowed
pictures
.
Finally
it
coulde
not
be
perceiued
what
he
had
,
séeing
there
was
a
great
distance
betwéene
vs
,
that
togither
with
his
flight
,
as
though
he
doing
it
by
guile
and
disceite
,
might
escape
my
sight
.
After
he
had
spoken
these
wordes
,
I
coniectured
wherto
the
dreame
tended
I
withdrawing
him
from
his
great
fear
and
trouble
of
minde
,
and
causing
hym
to
set
aparte
all
suspition
of
such
things
which
should
come
to
passe
,
sayd
:
It
séemeth
to
me
,
that
you
can
not
well
interprete
dreames
,
séeyng
that
the
visions
which
you
sawe
,
prognosticate
youre
daughters
mariage
,
and
do
signifie
(
as
it
were
by
a
riddle
,
that
the
Egle
shal
take
a
husbande
,
that
is
,
that
Chariclia
shall
haue
Alcamenes
,
these
things
verily
declare
that
the
mariage
shall
be
made
,
and
that
by
Apollos
meanes
,
and
as
it
were
,
leading
the
bridegroome
by
the
hande
:
thou
lookest
with
wrathful
face
,
and
interpretest
the
dreame
in
the
worser
parte
.
Wherfore
let
vs
be
of
good
cheare
Charicles
,
and
yelde
our selues
wholly
to
the
wil
of
the
Gods
,
somuch
the
more
endeuouring
to
persuade
the
Maiden
.
After
he
had
interpreted
his
dream
truly
,
as
he
supposed
,
he
with
ioyfull
minde
departed
,
and
I
also
went
towards
Chariclia
,
and
in
like
maner
went
to
Theagenes
,
whome
when
I
had
tolde
what
should
be
done
,
returning
home
,
I
was
attentife
about
such
things
which
shuld
befall
.
The
nexte
daye
following
these
things
wée
handled
.
When
mydnyght
had
drowned
the
Citie
with
slepe
an
armed
troup
of
yong
men
ransacked
Chariclias
house
.
The
Capitaine
of
this
amorous
assaulte
was
Theagenes
,
who
breaking
the
solemne
sight
and
ostentation
of
the
yong
men
sette
them
in
battaile
aray
,
who
sodainly
making
a
loude
&
shrill
shoute
,
and
clashing
their
tergats
togither
made
thē
sore
afeard
,
which
did
scarsly
heare
it
,
&
with
burning
torches
entred
in
the
house
,
the
doore
being
easly
opened
(
for
it
was
prouided
before
hand
,
that
the
boltes
should
easily
bée
barred
)
and
tooke
Chariclia
awaye
by
violence
,
who
was
in
redinesse
,
forséeing
all
thinges
,
and
sustaining
violence
with
a
willing
minde
,
togither
carying
with
them
certaine
stuffe
which
the
virgin
desired
.
After
they
were
gone
out
of
the
house
,
setting
aside
al
warlike
clamor
,
but
making
a
horrible
clashing
noise
with
their
weapons
,
passed
through
the
Citie
,
making
the
Inhabitantes
maruellously
afearde
,
who
chose
the
déepe
of
the
night
,
that
they
might
séeme
more
fearfull
,
and
the
two
topped
Hill
Pernassus
made
an
Eccho
to
the
sounde
made
with
the
armour
.
After
they
were
departed
the
Citie
,
as
spedily
as
they
coulde
,
they
roade
to
the
Lochreusian
Oetian
Hilles
.
But
Theagenes
and
Chariclia
agréeing
before
hande
,
forsooke
the
Thessalians
,
and
fled
priuily
to
Calasiris
house
,
and
moreouer
falling
to
his
féete
with
trembling
embraced
him
,
and
continually
crying
:
Kepe
vs
father
Calasiris
:
Chariclia
only
song
this
note
,
looking
to
the
ground
,
as
though
she
were
ashamed
of
hir
dede
newly
doon
:
but
Theagenes
added
herevnto
,
desiring
hym
for
Gods
sake
,
saying
:
Kepe
Calasiris
vs
straungers
,
and
poore
suppliant
disfranchised
folkes
,
depriued
of
all
men
,
and
liue
onely
by
all
men
.
Kéepe
hereafter
our
bodies
placed
in
fortunes
hande
,
and
bonde
to
chaste
loue
:
Kepe
vs
voluntarie
and
wylling
to
liue
in
exile
,
and
which
doe
put
oure
whole
hope
in
you
.
His
hearte
melted
with
these
words
,
&
when
he
had
mourned
more
inwardly
,
than
in
outward
apperance
for
their
two
heuie
cases
,
so
that
they
perceiued
it
not
:
but
he
comforted
and
encoraged
them
,
which
assuaged
his
sorrow
.
Finally
,
after
he
had
set
before
their
eyes
a
good
hope
of
prosperous
successe
,
bicause
the
matter
was
begon
by
the
will
of
God
:
I
will
go
(
sayde
he
)
to
accomplishe
the
residue
:
but
abide
you
me
in
this
place
,
giuing
youre
mindes
wholly
to
this
,
that
you
bée
not
séene
.
And
when
he
had
spoken
this
,
hée
made
hast
away
:
But
Chariclia
toke
him
by
the
coate
,
and
stayed
him
,
saying
:
O
father
Calasiris
,
this
is
the
beginning
of
iniustice
,
or
rather
of
treson
,
if
you
leaue
me
alone
,
and
depart
,
committing
me
into
Theagenes
hands
:
you
will
not
beleue
howe
disloyall
a
louer
is
to
kéepe
awarde
,
if
that
rest
in
his
power
,
wherby
he
may
enioy
his
loue
,
and
wanteth
the
things
which
may
make
him
ashamed
.
Doubtelesse
he
is
more
inflamed
(
as
I
suppose
)
when
he
séeth
that
before
him
,
which
he
desireth
,
to
bée
destitute
of
all
helpe
and
succour
.
Wherfore
I
will
not
let
you
depart
,
before
as
wel
for
the
time
present
,
as
also
for
that
to
come
,
Theagenes
establishe
with
an
othe
my
securitie
and
suretie
,
that
he
shall
not
bed
with
me
,
vntill
the
espousalls
bée
ended
.
And
when
he
maruelling
at
the
things
whiche
were
spoken
,
had
determined
so
to
doe
,
and
had
kindeled
fire
vpon
the
Aultare
,
and
had
burned
the
incense
,
Theagenes
sware
,
that
he
had
iniurie
shewed
him
,
saying
:
That
faith
might
be
broken
by
preuenting
the
oth
,
and
onely
to
be
performed
willingly
with
promise
of
mind
,
neither
that
hée
coulde
commende
that
minde
,
which
for
feare
of
one
more
stronger
séemeth
to
be
compelled
:
yet
he
sware
by
Apollo
of
Delphos
,
and
by
Diana
,
&
Venus
hir selfe
,
that
he
woulde
doe
all
things
as
Chariclia
desired
.
And
he
and
she
calling
the
Gods
to
witnesse
,
made
the
agréement
betwene
themselues
.
He
commyng
a
rounde
pace
to
Charicles
,
found
the
house
ful
of
tumult
and
mourning
,
when
his
seruauntes
were
nowe
com
vnto
him
,
&
had
declared
the
violent
taking
away
of
the
Virgin
,
and
that
a
numbre
of
Citizens
assembled
on
euery
side
,
which
stode
about
Charicles
bewailing
his
heuy
chaunce
:
finally
they
made
meanes
,
for
the
ignorance
of
such
things
which
were
done
,
and
for
lacke
of
counsell
to
determine
on
suche
things
which
were
to
be
done
,
he
thundring
out
words
with
a
loude
voyce
,
sayde
:
O
vnhappie
men
and
sielly
soules
,
how
long
yet
will
you
sit
dumbe
and
dastardly
,
not
vnlike
to
dismayed
persons
,
as
though
togither
with
aduersitie
your
mind
were
taken
from
you
?
Wil
not
you
armed
persecute
your
ennimies
?
Will
not
you
take
and
punishe
them
,
which
haue
done
you
iniurie
?
Charicles
aunswered
,
It
is
superfluous
perhaps
from
henceforthe
to
contend
with
present
fortune
.
For
I
perceiue
that
for
the
wrath
of
the
Gods
I
suffer
this
punishement
,
which
since
that
time
as
I
vntimely
entred
the
sanctified
place
I
saw
things
which
wer
not
to
be
séene
,
the
God
foreshewed
me
for
that
cause
I
should
be
depriued
of
such
things
,
which
I
helde
most
deare
.
Notwithstanding
,
it
hindreth
nothing
,
euen
to
striue
with
the
Gods
,
as
the
Prouerbe
is
:
Verily
,
I
would
know
them
,
whom
we
mynde
to
pursue
,
and
him
,
who
hath
so
greately
endomaged
vs.
It
is
Theagenes
the
Thessalian
,
sayde
he
,
which
you
had
in
so
greate
admiration
,
and
the
yong
men
which
were
with
hym
,
were
his
partakers
.
Wherfore
arise
,
and
assemble
the
people
togither
.
His
commaundement
was
obeyed
,
the
Captaines
denounce
a
solemne
oration
,
signifying
by
the
trumpet
the
onset
to
battaile
:
immediatly
the
people
were
present
:
the
Theater
was
made
in
the
night
nere
the
counsell
house
.
Charicles
comming
before
them
,
and
sodenly
falling
into
great
mourning
,
said
:
Perhaps
Dye
men
of
Delphos
,
beholding
my
manifold
miserie
,
you
thynke
that
I
haue
assembled
so
greate
a
multitude
,
&
am
com
before
you
to
declare
my
whole
mind
.
Certes
it
is
nothing
so
,
although
oftentimes
I
sustayne
suche
things
as
may
be
compared
with
the
sharp
assaultes
of
vgly
death
,
and
now
haue
a
house
desolate
,
destroyed
from
aboue
,
&
which
onely
from
henceforthe
shall
be
berefte
of
all
them
,
whiche
I
accompted
deare
friendes
,
in
whose
conuersation
,
company
,
&
pleasant
manners
I
did
delite
,
and
recreate
my selfe
:
yet
the
frustration
and
vayne
hope
of
all
men
,
promisyng
the
findyng
of
my
daughter
,
doeth
as
yet
sustaine
and
helpe
me
,
and
moueth
me
to
pacience
.
But
the
citie
doth
more
moue
mée
,
whiche
I
wishe
and
looke
for
to
be
conqueresse
,
punishing
them
,
whiche
haue
done
it
iniurie
.
Except
perhappes
the
Thessalian
yong
men
haue
taken
from
vs
our
stoute
stomacke
,
and
indignation
from
our
countrey
and
countrey
Gods
.
For
that
whiche
is
moste
grieuous
,
a
fewe
dauncyng
boyes
and
ministers
of
the
Sacred
Ambassade
,
departe
the
chiefest
Citie
of
the
Greekes
béeing
ransacked
,
and
the
Temple
of
Apollo
being
spoyled
,
whiche
was
a
verie
precious
treasure
.
Alas
Chariclia
,
my
delite
and
pleasure
.
O
implacable
and
continuall
wrathe
of
the
diuine
power
which
neuer
ceasseth
to
reuenge
.
If
that
I
myghte
fynde
Chariclia
,
the
ioye
whiche
I
shoulde
receyue
thereby
,
woulde
deface
all
my
sorrowes
,
and
expell
them
quite
from
my
hearte
.
Chariclia
my
lyfe
,
my
hope
,
and
succession
of
my
stocke
.
Chariclia
my
onely
solace
,
and
that
I
maye
so
say
my
ancor
.
And
the
tempeste
whiche
inuaded
me
,
dyd
breake
this
ancor
,
and
carried
it
awaye
.
Charicles
,
as
yet
prosecutyng
his
Oration
,
and
through
teares
slydyng
from
his
purpose
,
was
put
to
silence
by
captaine
Hegesias
,
willing
him
no
more
to
mourne
,
and
sayde
:
O
you
which
are
present
,
it
shall
bée
lawfull
for
Charicles
to
lamente
hereafter
.
But
lette
vs
not
be
ouerwheimed
with
this
mans
sorrowe
,
neither
lette
vs
not
rashly
with
hys
teares
,
as
it
were
with
a
violente
force
of
Water
,
bée
caried
awaye
,
neglectyng
occasion
,
whiche
as
wel
in
all
things
,
as
especially
in
warre
doeth
verye
muche
auaile
.
For
if
wée
doe
make
spéede
oute
of
the
assemblie
,
there
remaineth
some
hope
that
the
enimies
may
be
taken
.
But
if
incessantly
lamenting
,
or
rather
like
women
piteously
complayning
,
wée
shall
by
delayes
giue
greater
libertie
for
them
to
escape
,
there
is
left
nothing
els
,
but
that
we
be
laughed
to
scorne
,
and
that
of
the
yong
men
,
whiche
I
saye
,
shoulde
be
out
of
hande
apprehended
,
and
hanged
on
the
Gallowes
,
and
some
of
them
to
bée
stained
with
ignomie
by
transposing
the
punishment
to
their
house
&
stock
.
This
doubtlesse
may
easily
be
done
,
if
we
shall
moue
the
Thessalians
to
indignation
againste
them
whiche
haue
escaped
,
and
against
their
posteritie
,
forbidding
them
by
decréee
the
sacred
Ambassade
and
Funerall
sacrificing
ceremonies
of
any
noble
man
These
wordes
pleased
the
people
,
and
of
them
were
allowed
.
Let
this
be
established
by
your
voices
(
sayde
the
captaine
)
if
it
séeme
good
,
that
there
may
no
more
women
,
holding
the
price
of
victorie
in
hir
hande
,
be
shewed
to
such
as
contend
to
runne
in
armed
course
.
For
as
far
as
I
can
coniecture
,
therof
sprang
the
beginning
of
wickednesse
,
which
increased
flames
ir
.
Theagenes
heart
,
&
thoughte
vpon
this
mischief
at
the
first
sight
of
hir
.
It
is
good
for
the
time
to
come
,
to
take
away
the
occasion
of
such
an
yll
practise
.
After
he
had
obteined
this
by
all
mens
consent
,
Hegesias
gaue
signe
to
depart
,
the
trumpet
blew
the
battaile
,
and
forth
they
marched
,
but
all
in
vaine
:
for
they
tooke
neither
Theagenes
,
nor
none
of
his
adherents
,
and
returning
home
ceassed
to
make
searche
for
their
enimies
.
Afterwarde
when
all
thyngs
were
appeased
,
Calasiris
,
partly
by
his
skill
,
and
partely
by
his
persuasions
,
broughte
the
matter
to
suche
effecte
,
that
he
obtained
Charicles
good
will
concerning
the
mariage
of
Chariclea
,
and
Theagenes
.
Which
was
the
cause
,
that
a
numbre
of
enormities
like
to
ensue
,
were
stayde
,
and
a
perpetuall
quietnesse
to
them
of
Delphos
purchased
.
