had felt both the utmost extremities of happiness and misery But leaving Helena the King and the whole Court to their Sorrows let us now proceed to look for Arthur who so long saw the water clear but of a sudden beheld it turn'd cloudy and understanding what it meant hastily sets forward in search after Olivaires being fully resolved to find him out and on the one hand hurried away with a violent desire of seeing him and on the other stimulated with grief knowing some great peril had behapned him he as it were flew with Wings CHAP. LIII Arthur prepares to go in search after Olivaires by signal of the Water which shews his Calamity I Related before the manner of Olivaires's departure from Castile and the grief that it caused his Father the Court and the Queen the principal occasion of so great an Evil But the King's Affliction was the heaviest and in a short time cost him his life Upon his death then Arthur was made Ruler of the Kingdom by those Dukes Barons and Knights and had the Government until they should hear of King Olivaires And Arthur willingly accepted of it for the love 〈◊〉 bore to his Brother and every day he looked on the Vial of Water At length One morning a while after he had rise he was for going out a Hunting but would before see the Water which he found troubled and of a bloudy colour Whereupon he cry'd out O noble and virtuous Cavalier my faithful Brother where shall I find thee to free me from so great dangers Whither shall I go which way must I steer to succour thee O that I knew the Province the Kingdom the City nay that Heaven that could inform me of thee And instead of going a Hunting unless in another kind he appointed his Vicegerent and on a brisk Courser with a Sum of Money and Jewels with all possible dispatch he is mounted for his Journey Having to all his Barons deliver'd up the Government and beseeched them to administer all things for the best in as much as he hoped that they might shortly have Olivaires with them and desir'd them they would not marvail at his departure since it was of great importance for the good of the whole State Accompanied then with those few he had a mind to he first takes his way thorough his own Kingdom and so orders the Affairs of the Government declaring all along he was going about a matter of grand concern as indeed it was Arthur's go●ng away was a great trouble to the Lords of Castile first and after to those of Dalgarve for his behaviour and ●arriage to them were such that eve●y one was in love with his noble and generous Temper and his Vertues ●ade him the Darling of Mankind So all lamented his departure CHAP. LIV. ●rthur's Voyage through divers Countries in search of Olivaires ARrthur being got out of his Kingdom recommends himself unto 〈◊〉 and his good Providence And first he makes search through all the Kingdom of Portugal in all the Cities and in all places of the Realm nor desists his inquest till he goes into the remotest Woods Now in his busy inquiry that way he hears tell that not far off a fierce Lyon haunted a Mountain and whoever went into those places was sure either to be kill'd or at least be wofully shatter'd by the savage and that many Knights for proof of their Prowess and to oblige the Country with a publick benefit had made attempts upon him but with the loss of their lives Arthur hearing this deliberated with himself whether Olivaires might not perhaps have gone on this enterprize And having fitted his Armour he makes for the Mountain and when he had got half way he meets the Lion who had come far was lean humble and by chance lame of a Paw Arthur seeing him wondered he was so gentle thinking with himself it was easy to kill him and for that end without fear goes toward him The Lion reaches out himself a length as Dogs are wont to do and with a lamentable Roine expressed that he recommended himself to his favour and shew'd him his Paw which was swell'd and had rotted because a piece of the Splinter of a Spear remained in it Arthur then drew him the Shiver out and forth run a great deal of corrupt matter Whereupon the Lion perceiving it to be better with him with many more Caresses and wantoner play than a Dog can make gratefully fawns upon him Arthur goes for the Mountain and the Lion follows him and having sought but not found any humane footsteps he returns to his own Road accompanied by the Lion all the Country fled before them beholding the Animal But Arthur put them out of fear making'em to see how came the Lion was and he gave him a piece of fat Veal and it refreshed him and in a short-time by attending on him the Animal became sound and hearty and went continually at Arthur's Stirrup as a Page when he rode and when he slept a-nights lay Centinel at his Chamber-door like a Mastiff Arthur accompanied of this Lion made search thorough many and many Realms Catalonia Languedoc Spain Normandy France Piccardy Burgundy and spent many a day in travail yet could never hear any news at all of Olivaires One night melancholly and fatigu'd with his Journy having arrived at the Port of Cales he argued to himself and having no other in company with him in his Chamber but the Lion only he thus complained Oh! why may not my dolors have an end as well as thine most loving Animal Ah! that at the least I could inform thee how excelling a Knight he is I wander in quest of how noble how admirable and how he bears away and easily deserves the Palm of all the valiant Knights of Chivalry The Lion was sensible of Arthur's meaning and wept And next morning the Animal took the way before him and went to the Port and enter'd into a Ship but the Mariners were affrighted and cry'd out aloud and Arthur also entering let them see how tame and gentle he was so they hois'd Sail and Arthur took good Augury from the Lion and made no enquiry what Coast the Ship was bound for CHAP. LV.

LXIX The Discourse of the White Cavalier and what Olivaires and Helena did MOST Invincible King Olivaires and you most Sacred Queen I am come for that which upon your Royal Word you promised me that is the full half of all your Gains through my aid and assistance and I came now because you are going to gather together all your separated Treasures Olivaires made answer It was but just and very reasonable it should be so Wherefore taking Cabinets of precious Stones Vessels of Gold Silver Raiment he said I acknowledge to have had this Treasure from you lo divide it as you please for your Deserts challenge as much The Cavalier setting some things apart said Of these I shall desire no more but of your remaining Acquisition I must Olivaires answered And what further is your pleasure dear Sir To have one of your Children answered he for to me appertains the half of whatever you have got Ah me said Helena Take all the Treasure before you for reward and ●eave me my Son I shall not do it subjoined the Knight Then said Olivaires I put so much confidence in ●his honourable Personage that my ●on shall be his for he is able better ●o educate and gratify him than I ●ould do though his own Father I do not know what I shall do said the Cavalier but let him come for he is mine Olivaires though his Heart swelled as was fit to break for having promised yet would not he recede from his Duty and causing his Henry to come he took him by the Hand and gave him as a Booty to the Cavalier When Helena beheld her self robbed of her Son she set up a loud Cry and a violent and extream Lamentation Then the Cavalier turning to Olivaires said I who have so faithfully served you have inriched you and saved your life Am I for this so discourteously rewarded with the share that according to compact belongs unto me But now go for I further require and will also have either for Love or by Force the half of the Queen and quickly take thy Sword and divide her and give me my Right for I shall demand of thee no other than just and reasonable Things otherwise thou shalt experience my Strength and Valour and what Ability and Prowess I can exert CHAP. LXX The Intreaties of Olivaires and the Answer the White Cavalier gives him THE big Words of the Cavalier created mighty dread in the Breast of Olivaires and Helena was ready to fall down in a swoon for Grief about her Son and greatly ●rembled also by reason of his threats ●or fear of Death Wherefore Olivai●es turning to the Knight said Dear ●ir It is true that I promised you the ●alf of my Acquists but not so of ●hat I should Procreate However ●or that I know you faithful I have ●ot replied one word for the having 〈…〉 y Son again But she whom the ●od of Heaven hath ordained for ●y Wife and hath joyned us to●●ther Ought she to be divided from me and her self too with the Sword Is it not written Whom God hath joined together let not man put asunder I tell thee Olivaires thou oughtest not to diminish my share For had not I made thee Conqueror by furnishing thee with Horses Men and Arms thou hadst never got the Lady I will have it so and make no more reply that I turn not thy happy state into a sad one quickly give me half Olivaires seeing his resolvedness turn'd to Helena and said Alas my dear Life how shall I be able to sustain such a sorrow how shall I wound her who is my very heart why hath Fortune brought me to this Dilemma On the other part Helena as if besides her self remain'd half dead nor heard Olivaires's words and she run thorough all the sad Accidents had happen'd in her life-time and with dolorous complaint gave most hideous sobbings Set me at liberty quickly said the Cavalier and detain me not in this place You should have considered o● it before you promised and not now seek delays to augment your sorrow you give me nothing but what is my own Olivaires embracing and kissing his Lady nigh dead already purposing to observe his Word of a sudden draws forth his Sword and raises high his Arm for a terrible cleaving stroke over the Head of the fair and divine Helena the splendor of the World that innocent Blood and pure Soul But the Cavalier hastily held his Arm and cry'd out I have enough of thee my dearest Brother no more I am satisfi'd and would not indure he should slay the Flower and Queen of all Beauties of the World At which awful Cry Helena look'd up as from a Trance and seeing the Cavalier caressing Olivaires she took comfort What followed you shall hear in short and the Conclusion according to Ancient Histories CHAP.
