for her and Marco Antonio without life and fairely buried then to see himselfe hopelesse of obtayning Leocadia Which hopes went on promising him a happy successe in his desire either by the way of force or by faire meanes since that for the effecting of his purpose time and occasion offered themselves for eyther With this which he promised to himself he was somewhat quieted and within a little while after the day began to appeare and then they began to leave their beds And Don Rafael calling for the hoste of the house demanded of him whether that their towne would afford a suit of cloaths for a Page who had bin stipt naked by out-lawes and robbers Mine hoste replyed that he himselfe had a reasonable handsome suite to ●…ell He brought it and it fitted Leocadia as well as if it had beene made for her Don Rafael payd him for it and shee did put it on and girded her sword and dagger unto her with such a grace and spirit that in that very ga●…e habit of hers shee did suspend the senses of Don Rafael and multiply jealousies in Theodosia Calvete had sadled his Mules and about eight in the morning they departed from their Inne and set onward on their journey for Barcelona omitting for the present to visit the famous Monastery of Mon●…errat I want words to expresse to the life the thoughts which the two brothers entertained and with what different mindes both of them went looking on Leocadia Theodosia desiring her death and Don Rafael her life both of them being jealous and passionate Theodosia seeking to finde out some faults in her that shee might not despaire of her hopes And Don Rafael finding out perfections in her that did the more obliege him to love her yet for all this they were not carelesse in making all the hast they could so that they came to Barcelona before Sun-set They did wonder at the beautifull situation of that Citie and held it to bee the flower of the fayrest Cities of the world the honour of Spaine the terrour of their bordering and remote enemies the pleasure and delight of its inhabitants the Protectresse of strangers the schoole of Chevalry the patterne of loyaltie and the satisfaction of all that which a discreete and curious desire can expect or wish from a great famous ritch and well founded Citie In their entring thereinto they heard an exceeding great noyse and clamour and they might see a great company of people runne in a tumultuous kinde of manner and asking the cause of that noyse and hurrey they made them answer that they of the Gallies that were at the sea side were together by the eares with those of the Citie Which Don Rafael hearing would needs goe see what passed amongst them though Calvete told him that hee should by no meanes doe it for there was no wisedome or discretion in so doing and that thereby hee would put himselfe into manifest perill for hee knew well enough by experience how ill they came off who did thrust themselves into such kinde of differences and confused garboyles which were ordinary in that Citie when the Gallies came thither but this good counsell of Calvete could not prevaile so farre forth with Don Rafael as to hinder his going and so they all followed him And in comming to the Sea shoare they might see many swords drawne and many people slashing each other without any pitty or mercy Notwithstanding all this without alighting they came so neare unto them that they might distinctly see the faces of those that fought for the Sun was not as yet downe Infinite was the people which came from the Citie and great likewise the number which disimbarked themselves from the gallies howbeit he that had the charge of the gallies who was a knight of Valencia called Don Pedro Vique from the Poope of the Captain galley threatned those who had imbarked themselves in the Cockboate to go relieve their fellows but seeing his perswasions nor nings could prevayle with them hee caused the prowe of the Gallies to be turned towards the Citie and a peece of Ordnance to be discharged without a bullet being a signall unto them that if they did not depart and get them gone the next should not be shot off without it Don Rafael was very attentive in beholding this cruell brangling and scuffling amongst them and had noted and observed that amongst other brave fellowes that tooke part with the Gallies there was a young man that layd about him lustily being about the age of two and twenty little more or lesse clad in greene with a hat of the same colour adorned with a rich Hatband of Diamonds the nimblenesse and dextrousnesse wherewith this young gallant fought and the bravery of his cloathes caused all those that beheld the fight to turne their eyes towards him and in such steadfast manner those of Theodosia and Leocadia that both of them at one and the same instant cryed out God blesse me eyther I have no eyes or he in the greene is Marco Antonio And no sooner had they sayd this but with great nimblenesse they dismounted from their Mules and drawing out their swords and daggers without any feare in the world they made way through the midst of all the company and placed themselves one on the one side and the other on the other of Marco Antonio for he was that young man in greene wee formerly spoke of Feare you nothing Marco Antonio so sayd Leocadia as soone as shee came in unto him for you have one at your side who with the losse of his owne life will be a shield for to save yours who doubts it replyed Theodosia I being here Don Rafael who saw and heard what had passed hee likewise followed them and tooke part with him Marco Antonio being busied in offending others and defending himselfe did not take any notice of those words these two then sayd but rather being very hot and earnest in fight did things to seeming beyond beleefe But in regard that the multitude of people came continually flocking from the Citie they of the Galleyes were enforced to retreate wading through the water to get into their Boates Marco Antonio retired likewise though sore against his will And sayling by the same compasse went retiring on eyther side of him those two valiant and new Bradamante and Marfisa or Hippolita and Penthesilea Now while they were in this hurly burly came thither a Knight of Catalunia of the famous family of the Cardonas upon a strong sturdy steede and putting himselfe in the midst of eyther partie he made those of the City to retire such was the respect which they bare unto him But some that were further off threw stones at those which were making to the water as ill luck would have it one hit Marco Antonio full on the bosome with such force fury that he fell there with in the water being already up therein to the knees But Leocadia had scarce
