extremitie I desired to see this disloyall yet once to attempt to reduce him to reason and his duty I therefore went out by the favour of the night for this effect but considering that all men are dispenced from respect when they meet a woman alone in the streets and in the darke J stayed some ten steps from our house expecting that there should passe some one whom J might judge my selfe able to entreat to serve me for scout It seemeth that heaven amongst the infelicities which oppressed me would gratifie me with the good fortune of your encounter since that there had already passed three men of fashion good enough before you came to whom I spoke not a word but as if you had beene reserved for to render me this pious office my genius excited me to call you when you came neere me The prayer that I made to you when you stayed Sentinel at that doore which was not to trouble your selfe with the noyse which you might heare was grounded upon the hope which I had to receive satisfaction in this place for the injuries of this disloyall if he did not content me but two men that were with him hindred mine enterprise for I imagined they might stay the blow which I would give him or at the least having executed it they would put me into the hands of justice Seeing then that I ought not to hazard my selfe so rashly I approached to this ingrate with the action of a suppliant but in stead of receiving as he ought onely in consideration of my quality and to attribute to an excesse of love the resolution which I had taken to come finde him in this company he tooke occasion therefrom to treate me as a publique woman adding to the infamy of my violated honour the shame of seeing my face massacred by his rash hands Is there in the whole world a woman of so little courage that could support so many injuries without giving an exemplary chastisement to all ingrates Animated then with a furious and just anger I resolved to revenge my selfe yet this wicked man is happy amongst his misfortunes that he hath received his death from a hand which he hath so often kissed and almost adored If I haue not employed you in this action Seigneur Don Charles it was not that I believed otherwise but that you would have generously enterprised it but I repute your blood too noble to ballance it with that of a traytor Although I have taken away his life with a pistoll I doe not believe that I have used foule play for without that there would have beene too great inequalitie betwixt my weaknesse and his strength my rock and his sword what ever it was my victory ought not to have been doubtfull otherwise I should not have beene revenged In fine he is dead and God hath permitted i● to be so to accomplish the imprecations which he called upon him and for to chastise him for having violated the faith where he had called to witnesse the Almighty his glorious mother and all angelicall powers There is no doubt but you I shall be suspected for his death you because every one knoweth that you are his enemy and rivall and I for having taken vengeance of the perfidiousnesse which all the world knowes he hath done me for my part I will enjoy the vaine glory of my vengeance and avoid if I can the paine I may suffer being accused before my justifications may be received therefore I am resolved to absent my selfe Jf you will goe with me J shall testifie unto you the esteem which J have of your person and how sensible J am of the obligations which J have to you I have already provided what is necessary for that purpose There is an ancient servant of my fathers which attends me at his house with jewells of great price and some money which J have given him to keepe three good horses See if your heart wisheth to doe it time presseth and permits us to consult no longer things the least premeditated ofte● times issue the best Admiring her generositie considering her judicious reasons and above all suffering my selfe to be carried away with the love I bore her which was newly increased by the defeate of the enemy which she had taken away from m● I resolved to follow her with promise never to abandon her Vpon the instant we went to the mans house she had spoken of who was well advanced in yeares but yet sound strong of body and of great experience We tooke these three horses which Violante had prepared for to save her selfe with this man and a woman not thinking of encountring me and with the pearles diamonds and mony we put our selues diligently into the rode of Toledo and arrived there the next morning It was not judged expedient for us to stay there any longer but whilest Orambel so was our guide called could buy us poore country habits With this equigage we gained the mountaines neere to Toledo with designe to buy goods and flockes and inhabit there as we were in qualitie of country people untill we had given order for our affaires The age of Orambel agreed very well with ours for our plot we had made to say that he was our father he had the care of all our affaires and went sometimes disguised to Madrid to learne what was said of the things wherein we had interest for which cause we were not willing to goe further from the court I tooke the name of Lizeron and Violante the name of Lacinthe the better to disguise us We lived there in great repose imploying the time we two in perfectioning our loves after the manner of the shepheards described in Diana de Montemayor whilst that Orambel our adopted father governed household affaires During our abode there there arrived many strange encounters to us which I will not enterprise to recount unto you fearing to trouble you yet it is almost impossible for me to hinder my self from reciting one adventure that happened to us one day Then Don Charles made the discourse of his encounter with Fenise as it hath been said in the beginning of the first book adding in continuing thus we di●●●●ed the troubles of a country life where the daies 〈◊〉 very long and great repose displeasing Vio●●● o●ten received letters from her Father which ●●●mbel went to fetch at her Aunts house amongst others she received one wherein her father let her know that hee was kept in his bed by a sicknesse which the Physitians presaged would endure a long time and therefore he could not return into Spaine that it was necessary for her presently to come into Italy to take possession of his goods to the end that if she remained an Orphan she should not bee a poore one Violante durst not undertake so long a voyage finding her selfe then indisposed she intreated me to take it for her saying that it would not be unbeseeming taking the quality of her husband I
