augmented much that beauty which Laurean contemplated but with too much attention Perceiving his teares What Florent said he is it the default of my courage that breeds this effect of pitty in you No no doe not thinke though I am called every day to Death's doore that I will ever abate the least punctillio of Honour which is so hereditary to my Family Rather bewaile the mis-fortune of those that through Clione's meanes have fallen by my Victorious hand So unworthy a diffidence replyed Florent never entered into my thought the proofes that you have given of your Valour in so many occasions are so publicke that he must be a great stranger in this Province that is ignorant of them I am onely sorry that such eminent vertues should be so unjustly exposed to the Cruelty of a barbarous Maid who cannot deserve for so many unworthy actions that you should esteeme so highly of her as you have exprest And I believe if she knew your true worth she would change her animosity into affection whereby you might gather the roses of friendship in the same plot that produced you the thornes of hatred But that which forceth me to shed these teares is the Sorrow that oppresseth me to see so generous and spotlesse a life exposed to so many deaths and to such a Continued succession of tragicall adventures Would to God that I were able with the effusion of my blood to secure you from these troubles or worthy to receive so much honour from you as to goe a sharer with you in your dangers for I shall never esteeme my life better employed then when it is expos'd to doe you service These complements issued so gracefully out of that sweet mouth that Laurean melting with such enchanting language had much adoe to refraine from teares and expresse himselfe in tearmes suitable to his passion It chanc'd at that same time that Laurean was visited in his house by a kinswoman whose name was Octaviane daughter to one of Poliecte's Sisters and whose Father had beene engaged in the long quarrell betwixt Silvin and Poliecte whose cause for the mothers sake he strove to maintaine and justifie This Lady hearing of her kinsman 's sad condition being every day in danger of his life through the provocations of Clione's Champions ful of a Courage not ordinary in her Sex and animated with a strange Rodomontado like disposition came purposely to break to him the designe she had to challenge Clione to fight with her and so with each of them a dagger to revenge upon one another their Father's Deaths An heroick resolution for a maide had not despaire beene the principall motive to it Laurean received her with the greatest testimonies of respect friendship and Courtesie that could be shewed to so neere a kinswoman and so gallant a Lady But when she discovered her designe although he admired her Amazonian Courage he could not hold from laughing to see how vehement the desire of revenge was in a Sex of so much imbecility like fire that flames with so much violence when it meets with any light and combustible materiall Thence he took occasion to excuse within himself Clione's fury who used all means possible to be reveng'd of him by her Lovers since Octaviane would expose her owne life to so extream and almost inevitable danger to seek satisfaction for her Father's death Oh could he have penetrated the secret of darknesse and discovered Florents disguise he would easily have perceived that Clione's spirit was enrag'd with no lesse fury against Octaviane He absolutely disapproves of his kinswoman's proposition telling her it was not onely a furious rash enterprise and contrary to all reason but impossible to be effected and that comming to the knowledge of the world it would make her the Table-talk of all France Octaviane much distasted would not bate one Ace however of her resolution and what she had communicated to him in private she spared not to speak openly and in Florent's owne hearing whom she did not take to be Clione which struck this disguised Damsell so to the heart that her Face became like a Rain-bow for diversity of Colours and you may well think her spirit was agitated with no lesse diversity of thoughts Her heart working like the troubled Sea one while she resolved to accept Octaviane's defiance and engage that Clione should meet her then the fear of discovering her self enforc'd her to bridle that impetuosity But that which stretch'd the pin of Florent's patience to the uttermost was to hear Octaviane in a Raunting manner say I have no lesse Noble blood in me nor am I inferiour in Estate to that inexorable murtheresse and if my Lovers flatter me not nor my owne Glasse deceive me I think Nature hath been no lesse favourable to me than her I have Suitours as well as she who all make me the highest protestations that may be Were I as cruelly minded as that barbarous Imp or had I as little pity upon those that make Love to me I could impose the same Law upon them and enjoyne them to fight with those that she employes to revenge her Father's death upon a man that 's no way guilty of it But rather then to be the cause of so much Blood-shed I will Encounter her my selfe with a Poniard and make a passage with my Blade for that Black Soule to sally out of her cankered Brest Here Florent was fain to suppresse his Choller with both hands and strive to keep himselfe within the bounds of modesty partly out of respect of his owne Honour and partly out of hope to Chastise by effects the insolency of those outragious words And indeed within a very little time fortune gave him fit opportunity to accomplish that desire for Octaviane having heard him singe and joyne his voyce to the ravishing accords of his Lute and Nartalls Virginalls she was so enchanted with that delicate voyce issuing from a face all of flowers a mouth of pearle and Corall and a breath of amber in an instant she lost the knowledge of her selfe and giving way to this new flame she became all ice to her old Servants Florent not ignorant of the passions that her Sex was subject to suddainly perceived by Octaviane's lookes sighes and carriage that the glances of his beautifull eyes had made no ordinary impression in her heart desirous to make this love an instrument of the hatred he bare her for her invective language against Clione he adds fewell to this new fire by fained demonstrations of a reciprocal affection and augments with high hopes of fruition the desires of this imprudent Damsell like Faulconers and Fishermen that never present their baits to the unwary birds or fishes but to take them and deprive them both of life and liberty You may imagine whether Octaviane bit greedily at that baite Nature enclining us to believe easily what we desire It is not my intent to describe the particulars of this affection no lesse sincere and
