M. M. (Matthew Mainwaring), 1561-1652.; Pierre, de la Cépède, 15th cent. Paris et Vienne.; Gifford, George, fl. 1640, engraver.	1632 (1632)	STC 17202; ESTC S111866	129,892	196

native home and the cruell aspect of my sinister Starres hath quite lately slayne all hope of future returne My last request is that I being the last of my Tribe and the first of our declyning Family you would comfort your age with the better hope of my Friends more worthier worthinesse and that you will repute and take him for your Sonne And when Nature shall pay the duty you owe vnto the Earth that then you will inherite him in all such Landes and Goods as Fortune in your fortune and ability shall then leave behind you So shall you yeeld desert his due honour mee and eternize your owne fame The Lord give you patience enrich me with your blessing comfort your gray hayres and redouble with treble happinesse your aged dayes Your haplesse Sonne onely happy in being your Sonne but most unhappy in being himselfe Paris Sir Inques having read the sadde contents of his Sonnes resolved last farewell fainted under the burden of his so unsupportable griefe but revived and comforted by La-nova that was himselfe to be comforted he betooke himselfe unto his carefull bedde where though his attached tongue could pay no tribute to his dumbe sorrow yet did his silent woes shewe his speaking griefe Such was his woe that it was a woe to see his woe In somuch that La-nova swolne with his owne griefe was ready to burst to see his sorrow And therefore having neither temperance to cover the one nor a heart to looke upon the other he returned to his erected Chappell where he pierst the very Heavens for the preservation of his Friend and powred forth his Prayers for his returne This done he held himselfe undone in so inestimable a losse And after a long and sadde meditating with himselfe he fearefully went to acquaint Vienna that all their sorrowes might be compleate at once Her he found all pensive and heavie as one presaging her further mishap and no sooner she saw him but that drawing forth the true portracture of sorrow out of his carefull countenance she hastily yet fearefully demaunded what newes The Heavens Madam sayd La-nova grant you patience and more comfortable newes Vienna agast gastly asked if Paris then were dead Not dead he said and yet departed Departed ah said Vienna how whether or to whom from life to death or from me to a causelesse change If dead why live I then If alive why then dead to me Say say La-nova where lives or lyes my Paris Paris said La-nova lives in his sorrow and dyes in your griefe But where alasse I know not for madde in your affliction he is gone in his fury to dye else-where for his fancie Vienna whose eyes overflowed with teares and whose heart was wounded with his words stood like a second Niobe and then falling suddainlie into a deadly trance she no sooner came to her selfe againe but that againe she lost her selfe But after her full recovery her remembrance then recording how all her nourished woes had begot many crosses that miserably fell upon her like haile-stones that strives to overtake one another she could not refraine but thus bewailed her selfe What fault of mine cruell and unkind hath caused thus thy causelesse flight Is this ah this and woe is me in this the hoped harvest of devoted Love Deserves my endured miseries this ingratefull guerdon O Paris Paris thy love comforted me in my cares but thy losse hath confounded me in my love O that I had never seene thee whom yet I wish to see or seeing thee had never affected thee whom ever I most affect My hap is hard that can neither have nor hope and the fault I finde in my selfe followes me still whiles death doth follow me Ah La-nova what now availes thy doubtfull diligence to thy Friend under the zealous shew of thy simulate sanctitude To what end now intends my pyning imprisonment the due chastisement of my neglected duty Am I now become the onely Daughter of sorrow and the cashiered Childe of disgrace O happie Portia thy dead sad woes are all buried in my long liv'd griefes and Heccubaes teares are all drowned in the sea of my sorrow Why then doe I live longer in dolour since my preordinate life is predestinate to a dolent death I will cruciate my effamished Bodie and satiate the angry Fates with my mortall and tragicall end The end of my woe shall be the woefull end of my life and the life of my laments shall be the wounds of my death And therefore leave me La-nova leave me that at last I may honour the Carthagenian Queene by breathing out my last These last wordes so sore appaled La-nova that iealous of her weaknesse her enfeebled estate being unable to support her oppressing and confounding sorrowes hee much feared least overcome with griefe and passion shee should yeeld to mischiefe her misery To prevent which he buried for the time all his owne griefe in the heedfull care of her safety and closely wiping his bedewed eyes he began Pastor-like to Preach patience Faith Hope and Comfort to her sad dismayed Soule Let not said he I beseech your Excellence any sinister crosse chance or mundaine affaires overthrow or oppresse the lively force of your requisite Faith Nor let any pusalimity weaken the wonted courage of your prudent minde but build your Faith and hope on him who as Roy royall rules and over-rules all chances and accidents that befalles humane Creatures Then embrace not a mischiefe to prevent an ill since God sends good for evill as he made light out of darkenesse Joseph was in prison before he could be Governor of Egypt and the Jsraelites were in bondage before they could come into Canaan You see your soare but not your salue Though with Job you lye now in ashes yet when with Iob you be tryed there shall be no more sorrowes left to afflict you then there were sores left to torment him For as the power of God is above our capacities So doth his succours and comforts come quite contrarie to our hopes To him therefore referre all things and in him onely repose your selfe and be you assured that in the assurance of your better trust you shall finde comfort unexpected and hope well rewarded Crosses your Grace knowes are but-touch stones to try our patience and patience is both a vertue and the true Physitian of distresse And in managing of affection and affliction is the true proofe of discretion To overcome an other is the guift of Fortune but to vanquish our owne willes is the true proofe of wife courage and a glory proper to our selves I confesse said Vienna that Patience is a Vertue but a poore one and that Hope is a heavenly thing but long hopes consume patience and water a farre off doth never quench fire at hand And when two Winters come together Death may fall before Summer Yet time sayd La-nova heales griefes by killing of cares Nay Time shee replyed is rather a devourer of our expectations then a Chyrurgion to

conceit exasperated his anger and added more fewell to his enflamed fire and in the heate of his irefull indignation hee step'd to her adulterous bed and like a tempestuous storme hee fell upon her giving her stab upon stab saying oft withall Nay thus much more and more And the more hee sayd so the more hee thrust his Semitar not yet dryed with the bloud of the Sarazen into her body This speedy and suddaine execution was Siraps preservation For it tooke away all further knowledge of the cause The Court was now all in combustion and the City hearing that the Sultan was slaine instantly did rise and confusedly did runne to the Pallace bearing all downe before them in such a distract sort that the Turkes Guard was glad to shut the gates against them and to entreate the Sultan to shew himselfe out of the Casement vnto them which so well appeased them that they quietly returned to their houses Then was inquisition made after the knowledge of the Sarazens apparell which was so base that all men wondred not onely that he was there but how he came there His mangled body kept him vnknowne and his meane habite made him no appertenant to the Court. When no notice could be had neither of the one nor of the other the appeased Sultan sent for the Eunuckes that attended his Emperesse and caused two Mutes to strangle them in his sight After he caused all the dead bodies with the two beds and all their apparell to be caried forth of the Citie and to bee burned all together and further gaue in charge that the two Chambers should be conuerted into houses of base vse and that no one vnder paine of death should after speake thereof Now Sirap who during these tempestuous stormes lay at anchor in his owne private harbour as one that knew well that great men euer enuying the glory and fortune of strangers would in this tumults be ready to stab at the bosome of merit and that mischiefe the cursed Captaine alwayes of the vnruly Commons might in a disturbed vprore endanger his safety hearing now that the sight of the Sultan had allayed the windie Allarum of his rumoured death and that the present murther of the Sultanesse with her Mayde and vnknowne Paramour was the occasion of such disorder rising He grew jealous of the cause suspitious of the errour and timorous of his welfare For though guarded with innocencie yet was he fearefull lest Mentiga had cast some scandalizing aspersion vpon his vnspotted honesty In this fearefull doubt he kept himselfe within himselfe vntill report had further manifested not only the manner of all their deathes but the ignorance of the cause This dispierced all cloudes of care and made him a perfect Iudge both of the errour and the event Then lifting vp his erected heart hee said O Vienna thy love I see now hath given me a second life and my constant loyalty hath kept me from the grave Justice hath preserved the guiltlesse and righteousnesse hath found mercy in iudgement Now praised be my God my strong defence For hee hath covered me under the wings of his protection and kept mee from the death of the wicked Hee hath cast downe lightning and burnt up the daughters of Babell that I might be safe in their suddaine destruction The storme is past and these cloudy occurrants threaten another tempest The Sea cannot be so calme in Summer but that it may swell again with the rage of wrathfull Winter There is more wisedome in preventing then in redressing a mischiefe Security lives not in tyranny For though the Tygar hide his clawes yet in the end will hee shew his Rapine Revenge hath now smoothed the Sultans angry browe and Time hath given some peace to his displeasure The Tide serves me and my prophane aboad with the heathen is displeasing to the heavens My Captived Lord cals me away and Vienna sayes I am too slowe my marke is set and I levell straight I will commend my ayme and therewithall casting off all further deliberation he went to the Court to take his leave of Solimon Who seeing him stand upon his departure after some private conference protestations that he would crowne his returne with highest honours advancement he vouchsafed graciously to imbrace him and so bad him farewell The next morning Sirap having before caused all things to be in readinesse the windes summoning him to Sea hee tooke shipping and sayling by the Ilands scituate in part of the Mediteranian Sea he landed at Sidon a Port Towne in Syria and there taking Horse hee poasted through the Country and part of the Desarts of Arabia and so came to Babylon Where we will leave him to looke into France and see how Vienna brookes her continued thraldome which was not so grievous unto her as the tormenting suppose of Sir Paris losse Great was her sorrow in feare of him and many her bemoanings for not hearing from him In so much that La-nova seeing the increase of her growing cares thus sadly spake unto her Madame these ruthlesse walls neither melt with your teares nor yet shake nor shrinke with your sighes Comfort dwels not in restraint nor lives Remedie in Lamentations Though your Father be absent yet hath he left a iealous Keeper You may ever weepe and bewayle your estate and lye still in the bed of sorrow If you never seeke after redresse you shall ever finde your selfe a Prisoner You know the secret way I made to releive you If so you please I will convey you through the same to some private place where Metamorphosed we will eyther hunt in quest after Sir Paris or you shall rest unknowne in some forraigne Nation till eyther my travaile shall gaine knowledge of his aboade or that the death of the Daulphin shall leave you for your right to the tryall of your Friends Then cast off these mortifying dumpes and leave now your sorrow to the Governours as a pawne for your returne and let us stand upon our Fortunes Hope lives in Industry and my Adventures shall ever wayte on your pleasure This kinde offer did moove her much but could not remoove her at all Liberty she said was sweete to that life that might take the pleasures of this life But to a deiected heart whose banisht content could promise no wished delight there a Close-prison was better then a glorious Pallace To travaile she said to my Paris would be more pleasing then painefull to Vienna but not knowing where he is I might perhaps extravagantly goe further from him then Iam that am already further off then I would be Here for his Love was I made a Prisoner and here will I still rest a Prisoner for his Love If he be living and loving here shall I soonest heare from him and if he be neither in Love nor in Life here will I end both my Love and Life Onely take thankes for thy loving care and kinde respect and be still a true Friend to Paris that Vienna

to take away the knowledge of our flight For after our departure she must locke the doore againe keepe your Bed with the Curtaines drawne and lay your Cloathes by most in sight and when any comes into her she must carefully say that you are not well and that you are layde downe to sleepe So shall wee gaine time to prevent our hasty pursuites and she may after at her will repaire to some private Friend in such disguise as I will provide for her That sayd Vienna may not be for I will never leave her that hath never forsaken me Nor will I without her venture upon any such adventure Poltron seeing it would not otherwise be yeelded though unwilling thereunto and like Sinnes Solicitor mooved that Izabella would play the Pedler and he would become a Tinker with his Budget on his backe a leatheren coloured Apron before him a Hammer under his Girdle and a Brazen Ladle in one of his hands And thus with his Face besmeared would he goe a pretty way before them as none of their company and yet guide them in the way So gallant a Bonelace-seller so proud a Pedler and so stoute a Tinker all France will not patterne But thus it must be if you Madam will have your desire Nor may you scorne that meanes that promiseth assurance of Liberty and hope of better Happe The Gods to have theyr wills disdained not to undertake the shape of Beastes and wee must with the cunning Fowler cloath our selves in Feathers if we will deceive wylie Birdes It is a Soare no sinne to betray Tyrannie but a shift no shame to get Libertie These guilefull enticing words of his and the betraying instructions of the deepe deceitefull Daulphinis were without any semblance of other reach so smoothly and passionately delivered by this damnable and perfideous Villaine that all his wily words were held as Oracles and the further he seemed to be from her the neerer still hee touched her to the quicke In so much that Vienna being blindly led in her over-affectionate desire beyond the lymit of all due consideration yeelded to referre her selfe to his Trust and to fashion themselves according to his Direction Alasse Vienna where disloyall Treason threatens thy shipwracke and where remorcelesse Murder is thy Plot there assured danger must be thy Harbour and reproachfull destruction thy Host Implacable malice pursues thee invisible fraude betrayes thee and too late repentance will I feare learne thee that they are most miserable that make themselves wretched examples to others But how should Love the Child of Folly looke into a plot of policie when unseduced wit can not see it nor untainted wisedome finde it The apparance of Trueth and the shew of Pitty and simplicity hath in all deceitfull Practises subverted Cities deposed Kings defrauded Subiects of their Rightes and taken away the guitlesse lives of Innocents How then poore Princesse couldst thou avoyd thy running upon the Sandes though Armies of obiections did rise against thy doubtfull hazard yet cannot thy good though free intention make thee faulty though thy over-credulity in entertayning of conjectures made thee erre Thy chast thoughts shines still I see in thy vertue and thy vertue by divine providence must shield thee both from abusive shame and from unexpected slaughter But now Poltron had provided at Viennas cost all materials and the Ladies disroabing themselves hid theyr attyres and to cast a mist before the eyes of ignorance they clothed them to the purpose and at supper time the night being darke upon Poltrons watchword who then stood sentinell they came forth pulling the doore after them For locke it Vienna would not because it should appeare which way they came foorth least vpō further search they might find out La-Nouas private way and so bring him into trouble who at the time was in Flanders enquiring after his lost friend The next morning their escape was discovered the City was searcht Poltron mist and every way was full of inquisitors But that nights travell and their unsuspected disguise being the usuall habite of such wandring professors brought them safe unto a great wood that stood at the foot of a high hill in Languedoc where he perswaded them the Hermit had his Cell At the entrance whereof Vienna stumbled the dull earth forbidding thereby her further passage and Jzabellas eyes were suddenly for the time strucken blinde as though the feet of the one were unwilling to bring their Mistris into perill and the eyes of the other were ashamed to see such intended villany But no presage can forstall desire Love lookes altogether after theyr owne fancies and consters all things according to her affections This helhound the Divels agent seeing Vienna ready to fall stept to her and taking her by the arme in shew to support her led her into the thickest of the wood where sodenly as one transformed this seeming dove shewed himselfe a vulture and like Cruelty her selfe with imbosted mouth staring eyes he drew his short sword that hangd by his lustful side and gashly swore that if either of them made any noyse he would forthwith kill them both whereat the weake and wearied Ladyes were so amazed that all their sences were sencelesse their tongues were bound to the peace by Iustice feare they could not speake nor durst not cry Now Lust the execrable parent of murder seeing her abashed beauty shine like the Sun through a Cloud had so fiered his fancy that where before it was but kindled by her lookes now having her within his power it did violently burne by the touch Death must now forbeare and attend his pleasure for his pleasure and nothing could satisfie this Covetous Foxe but after the stealing of the grapes he meant to forridge the vine To effect which he turned Jzabellas face to a tree and bound her armes round about the same and notwithstanding flatteringly promised them both their lives if Vienna would but consent to his wanton will If not he then prodigally swore that in dispight of all power he would gather the fruite now it was ripe and after leave their flaine bodies a prey unto the beasts of the field Vienna having recovered some spirit and seeing the present danger with elivated eyes erected hands bowed knees shee besought him not to sport in her misery nor to spot his soule with the repenting pleasure of uncleannesse Remember sayd she that I am a Princesse save but my honour as thou art my mothers Sonne and I will freely forgive thee my death as I am my fathers daughter I seeke not life but the honour of my life for my long liv'd griefe makes me hate life and dispise death But in the losse of my chiefest cherished care my curses shall poyson thy salvation and the wildfire of thy lust shall burne up all thy worldly welfare and make thee a speedy prey to speedy destruction O let then my Chaste teares quench the flame of thy sinfull Concupiscence blast not the beauty of
