Marseills there to rowe in the galli●s of Saint Blanquart where in they ended their dayes in great captiuitie and thereby had meanes to confesse and acknowledge the greatnesse of then sinnes and the wicked woman in the absence of her husband continued in her wickedne● more than euer she did before 〈◊〉 ●ie● miserably The second Nouel ¶ The pitiful and chaste death of the wife of one of the Multiers of the Queene or Nauarre THere dwelt in the towne of Ambois a multier that serued the Queene of Nauarre sister to Frauncis the French king whose wife lay in childbed of a sonne within the Cittie of Blois whither the s●id● multier 〈◊〉 receiue his quarters wages leauing his wife at Ambois lodging beyond the bridges now he had a seruant that of long time had so desperately loued his wife that vppon a certaine day hee could not choose but 〈◊〉 i● vnto her bu● she b●ing an honest woman tooke it 〈…〉 that 〈…〉 reprooued him but threatned to cause her husband to beat him whereby hemener after durst venture to speake vnto her or once shew any countenaunce thereof keeping it secret in his heart vntill such time his master was gone abroad and his mistris in S. Florontines a church belonging to the castle and standing farre from thence at euening prayer And he being at home without company it came in his minde to seeke that by force and violence which by prayer and seruice he could neuer obtaine and to that end brake a planke out of the wall between the chamber of his mistris and that where he lay which because the side of the hed as wel of his maister and mistris as of the seruauntes on the other side stoode close vnto the wall could not be perceiued whereby his wicked pretence coulde neuer be espied till vpon a time she being in bed with a yong wench of eleuen or twelue yeares old and in her first sleepe this villaine in his shirt entred through the saide hole into the chamber with his naked sword in his hand but as soone as she felt him by her she quickly sprang out of the bed disswading him by all meanes and exhortations that possibly an honest woman could deuise but he that had naught but heastly loue and better vnderstood in the Mules language than her honest reasons shewed himselfe beastilier than those beasts with whome he had long continued for perceiuing that shee ranne so fast about a table that he could not haue his will as also that she was so strong that she had twice loosed her selfe out of his hands being in dispaire neuer to haue his pleasure while she liued gaue her a great blowe vpon the reines thinking that if neither feare nor force could make her yeelde yet paine would doe it but he found the contrary for that euen as a good souldier perceiuing his blood is therby more moued to reuenge himselfe and winne his honour so her chaste heart inforced her much more to runne and flie out of the villaines hands alwaies giuing him the fairest words she could thinking by such meanes to make him knowe his fault but to the contrary he was so furious that by no means he wold be ruled by her good counsel giuing her diuers other blows which to auoyd she neuer ceased to runne as long as her legs would hold But in the end when with the losse of so much blood she felt her death approach listing her eies to heauen and holding vp her hands she yeelded thanks to God whom she named her force her vertue her patience and her chastitie beseeching him to accept that bloud which to obey his commaundement she then had shead in reuerence of Christ Iesus his sonne whereby she stedfastly beleeued all her sins to be forgiuen and saying Lord receiue the soule that by thy mercie hath freely beene redeemed she fell with her face vpon the ground and being fallen the wicked villaine gaue her diuers blows wherwith hauing lost her speech and strength of body failing the villaine tooke by force that which shee for want of strength could not defend And hauing satisfied his filthy lust fled so hastily that neuer after what meanes soeuer was wrought he could be found Meane time the young wench that lay with the Multiers wife with feare crept vnder the bed but perceiuing the man to be gone came out and finding her mistris to be without either speech or feeling shee cried at the window to the neighbors round about for helps whereat such as loued and liked her well came presently vnto her bringing Surgeons with them and found she had receyued fiue and twenty deadly wounds vpon hir body which as much as in them lay they sought to heale but all in vaine neuerthelesse shee languished without speech in that sort for the space of one whole houre mooued her handes and eyes whereby she shewed not to haue lost her memorie and being by a priest examined of her faith shee made thereof such euident signs as that by word of mouth she could not have done better shewing that her trust was in the death of Iesus Christ whom she hoped shortly to behold within his heauenly seate and so with a cheerefull countenance her eies looking vp to heauen she yeelded her chaste body vnto the earth and her soule vnto the Lord and being taken vp and her bodie wownd and set before the doore staying for company to bring her to her graue her husband chaunced to come home where he espied his dead wife standing at the doore before he knewe thereof and hauing inquired of the cause had double reason to be grieued thereat whereby he fell so sicke that hardly he escaped death In this manner that martire of chastitie was buried in saint Florentines Church whither all the honest wiues within the towne failed not to beare her company accounting themselues most happy to be of such a towne where so vertuous a woman was found and therewith those that were not so wise but lighter of behauiour seeing the honour done vnto that body determined from that time forwardes to change their wicked liues The third Nouell ¶ A King of Naples abusing a Gentlemans wife in the end ware hornes himselfe BEcause Gentlewomen saide Saffredant I have often wished my selfe to be companion in the fortune of him whereof I meane to speake I will shew you that in the cittie of Naples in the time of king Alphonsus whose lasciuious life was his Scepter there was a Gentleman so honest faire and curteous that by reason of his perfections an olde Gentleman gaue him his daughter in marriage that for beautie and good grace was nothing inferior to him who loued well together vntill Shrouetide after that the King in masking went from house to house to sport himselfe wherein eache man inforced themselues to honour him as they could and when he came to the Gentlemans house he was receiued and entertained much better than else-where as well with banquets as with musike and
