entertaining temporall fortunes who being presented by the Samnits with great sums of gould laughed hartely returning this constant answer Go you embassadors and tell the Samnites that Curio desireth rather to rule them that haue possession of gould then to haue gould and that neither money shall corrupt me nor dread of mine enemies confound me So was Harpaste as Curio moderate but not with like meane for as the one fancied not wealth so the other was fond of loue yet in that Harpaste being a woman couloured so well

assure thy selfe the day is thine and the daunger is past Hereupon taking Philamour by the hand this disguised Climachus brought him into his solitary Cel where from a faire windowe he shewed him all the vallyes smilingly beholding Laite said thus Heere is some of your pennance 〈◊〉 Laite must be beholding to you for an ouerflow I beleeue Harpaste knew she should driue you hither she inioyned you so happily Philamour sighed to heare her named but see a wonder Philamis altered this sorrow for taking a booke in hand and turning towards the East there sodainly fel a thunder-clappe the heauens were disturbed and the waters came down with such vehemencie from the mountaines that Laite sadainly of a little Riuer began to exceed Danuby ●…eere might you see the poore shepheards leading theyr flocks to the higher places and the 〈◊〉 that fled in the plaines were driuen into the mountaines many streetes in Passan were troubled with thi●… inundation and Harpaste hearing of these waters with blushing modesty diuined in hir heart that she must shortly haue a husband All this while Philamour lay looking of the window weeping for ioy and oftentimes imbraced he the barre of the window as if it had beene the dead body of his Harpaste till sodainly Philamis smiling made him surfet at another wonder for enioyning him by no meanes to mooue at whatsoeuer hee sawe he caused him to sit downe by him when sodainly there entered two in rich attire resembling Harpaste and Philamis the one proffering him kindnesse the other courting him with amiable lookes good Lord howe faine would Philamour haue moued But feare with-held him and care of his friends content yet kneeled hee to Philamis crying o●…t in great agony Ah deare friend I haue offended But to draw him from this passion Philamis practised an other secret for dainly they vanished when as hee sawe in a mirrour which stood opposite against him the whole course of his trauels his daungers Clorius comfort and Celios friendly trauel with him whereon while hee meditated him thought the Tables were spread with great delicates the musicke and melodie reuiued his spirites the Eunuches serued him in bowles of Saphir and his entertainment was so sumptuous that although hee had a good stomacke to his meate yet fedde ●…ee onely on admyration tyll Philamis cheared him after this manner Behold said he Gentleman the one halfe

therefore and reioyce yoong men must not fast which are towards marriage Philamour inuited thus kindly fell to his victuals wel fauoredly and both of them tooke the repast more pleasantly in that the one beheld and the other hoped to see his friend At last the tables were taken vp the attendants vanished and the night beeing farre spent Climachus conueyed his Philamour into a sumptuous chamber where he was entertained with such delicates musicke and delightes as the lyke was neuerimagined by Cleopatra for her Anthony In briefe after long discourse and Philamours many vowes his secret sighes his repentant hearts griefe his humble suite to see Philamis his prayers to enioy Harpaste the graue scholler left him fully resolued promising him the next day so to further his desires that he should not onely enioy her whom hee sought but see him whome hee wished for and thus with a friendly Adios he left him to his rest No so●…ner did the fayre morrow with blushing beautie incite the sun to enter his chariot golden Phoebus with radiant beauties guilded the mountaine toppes with his fiery beames but Philamis arose now gan the sparke of affection long smothered in cinders to discouer it self the coles became quicke fire Philamis forgetting all 〈◊〉 defaults began to reuiue the image of his Philamour which absence and vnkindne●… had defaced in his heart so that hee resolued sodainly to seeke his discouery For ●…s many 〈◊〉 showers and infinite liuing springs as the force of many mediterranean fountaine and the furie of raging riuers alter not the saltnes of the sea Soneyther destruction of bodyes alteration of place or any casualtie of vnkindnes can chaunge hys affections in whom perfect amitie is placed whereupon attyring himselfe after his courtly manner trimming his locks and ●…eard after their accustomed beauty he prouided althings necessary for the iourney causing a seruant to present Philamour with rich ra●…nents and all other necessaries who newly awaked wondered very much at this stra●…ngers curtesie and the rather in that whatsoeuer was sent him the messenger was wont to say that Philamis presented it At last when Philamis had ordered all things by his Art and prouided horses for their iourney he sodainly entered the chamber of Philamour who beholding the olde countenance and auncient courtly habite of his friend was rauished with ioy and falling downe before the feete of Philamis he thus expostulated Ah deare friend Philamis what ayre hath diuided our bodies or country hath detained my ●…riend whom I haue iniuriously wronged and cannot but vnworthily speake vnto Ah gentle heart thou mirrour of vertue my soules peace my minds content my court●…ous Philamis beholde my teares the testimonies of my sorrowes and accept my vowes
