vowed euermore faithfully to continue your freende offering in witnes of this obeysaunce to serue hencefoorth as your Knight with promise not to preiudice y ● least of your commaundements so long as

returned him many thanks for his freendly offers the old woman arriued who made him enamoured with the loue of Francelina in his Realm she taking the Damosell by the hand said Goe wyth mee faire Daughter and leaue this most discourteous Knight who suffered me to be misused before him in Tharsus wher of I hope to take sufficient reuenge by the extreame passions his hart shall endure heereafter No sooner had she ended these wordes but immediatlie they bothe vanished away wherewith the Prince greatly admiring was driuen into such a profounde conceit of her rare beautie as he thought euen there to yéelde vppe his ghost because hee imagined neuer to haue seene her like Heerein his iudgment was no whit beguiled for he did as many young Louers doo shewe thems●…lues fauourable Iudges in their own causes Now enters he into conceit because the olde woman had taken her away that this Damosell was Francelina she whom he had so liuelie imprinted in his hart as for her loue he had left his natiue Countrey Thus c●…mpassed with greefe on euery side hee entred into these termes Alas olde Woman I know not what thou maist be yet very true doo I find thy wordes but small to my auaile did Ozalio smite thee in my presence that I must requite with so long yrkesome and linger●…ng penaunce Ah cruell enemie why didst thou robbe mine eyes so soone of their vnspeakeable content thou sufferedst me to see that my loue might growe the more immesurable but thy wordes were such daggers to my hart as neuer can I taste a sharper corasiue And if this were the obiect of Francelina for fayrer creature did the Sunne neuer shine vpon at no tume shall my soule enioy rest till once more I haue seene her againe Thus entercoursing a thousand opinions he stoode a long time as driuen to the Antipodes accusing himselfe with base pusillanimitie and blaming the olde woman who had so robbed him of his forces as he could not stay the Lady with him by whose presence and gracious speeches he supposed himselfe in an eternall beatitude But now is the clowdie night chased toward the Occident when hee determined to effect wh●… the Damosell had commaunded him and going to the Altare hee tooke the golden Basons and the other sumptuous thinges making them readie to be caryed thence dispoyling likewise the Idoll of the Crowne Scepter and Booke But as hee would haue lifted the Image foorth of y ● Chayre he found it so heauie as he was not able to stirre it wherewith he béeing offended said And I shall ●…oo thée more honor then thou hast yet receiued of me so lifting vppe his Mace h●… made

should cause the death of anie one because in auncient Histories we may finde innumerable of recent moderne examples thereof But returne we to the Pri●…st who vnderstanding that his Daughter ranne foorth with such a clamour followed her immediatlie fearing she woulde offer some violence on herselfe and finding her deade holding the Epitaphe in her hand he was in great daunger to make a third in this wofull tragedie Ah miserable desolate wretch quoth hee if thy knowledge had efficacie in working the Duke of Ferias death why was it not sufficient to preuent thy Daughters mishappe Unhappy was the houre when first I practised this deuillish sorcerie Many other sorrowful lamentations he made ouer y ● dead bodies whom we may aptlie compare to the loyall Louers Piramus and Thisbie but afterward hee erected a costlie Sepulchre of Brasse and hauing embalmed them according to the auncient ceremonies of funerall pompe hee intombed them in the Temple bothe together and caused the Epytaphe to be cunningly grauen thereon Not long after considering himselfe depriued of his lawfull heyre and howe greatly he had peruerted the course of nature very extreame greefe ended his daies but ere he died hee enclosed the Treasure of the Temple with such enchaunt ments and with so strong and fearefull a guard that from the time of his death it was very dangerous to come néere the place And tell the time of Palmendos arriuall there there durst not anie one make tryall thereof albeit before Baledon abused the Islande Knights of diuers Regions came to prooue theyr fortune and y ● Giant himselfe came thether for the same occasion but séeing hee coulde not approche the Temple perceiuing the Island to be faire and delectable he got it by force of Armes the people thereof beeing vnable to resist his hostilitie Let vs nowe remember where we left before the arriuall of Palmendos in this Islande of Delphos to whome one of the Marriners told all these thinges as also the horrible villanies of the Gyant wherefore he intreated him not to anker in that Porte because quoth he we shal all bee either slayne or taken prysoners Why sayd Palmendos is no man able to punish his pryde and tyrannie seeing Fortune hath conducted me hether and will permitte me but to haue a sight of him I will not departe without some proofe of my selfe For if I bee Sonne to the Emperour Palmerin I must not bee frighted with the name of Gyants who rather resemble huge Colosses without anie soules then humaine creatures much lesse strange aduentures howe harde and daungerous soeuer they seeme If I woulde acquire prayse and honour immortall long time must I followe millitarie cxercise as my Father did in his yonger dayes preuailing against diuers such Monsters bringing innumerable enterprises to happy ende turne prowe then towarde shore and boldlie let vs enter the Porte without anie feare of this difformed Golias With much a doo they sette into the Porte where they were no sooner entred but they sawe themselues enclosed with the chayne which sight dismayed bothe the Maister and Marriners but Palmendos and Ozalio presently put on theyr Helmets and Gauntlets standing ready for defence of all the rest The Gyant beeing aduertised that a rich Ship was gotte within the chaine commaunded his Sonne presentlie to take Armes and with sufficient assistaunts to goe take all the Strangers prysoners wherto the young Tyrant was very readie and entring with three Knights into a boate came directly to the Shippe where Palmendos standing formost the Gyants Sonne thus spake to him Howe darest thou Knight be so bold as to enter our Porte without licence I dare doo more then that answered Palmendos in despight of such disloyall villaines as you are who by trecherous meanes intrap the in●…cent and afterward exercise what crueltie you please vppon them but nowe is the time come I hope that shal guerdon you with recompence aunswerable to such brutish behauiour The Gyants Sonne dyspleased with these wordes sought with his Knights to enter violently the Ship but Palmendos and Ozalio beeing to high aboue them gaue them so many sharpe repulses as yōung Baledon receiued his deathes wounde at the Princes hande and Ozalio sent one of the Knights to beare him companie With this foyle y ● boate speedilie returned and t●…ey aduertised Baledon what had happened bringing his Sonne slaine vp into his Chamber wherwith he was so wōderfully enraged as he vowed to buy his bloode with the death of all the strangers In bitter anguish of hart he called for his Armour preparing himselfe to the dismall attempt in meane while the two Knights that escaped backe aliue stoode on the shore reuiling the Prince wylling him to prepare for his death was comming If your Maister quoth Palmendos bee so valiant ●…s you reporte let him deale alone with mee in single fyght and if I chaunce to vanquishe him let him accomplishe what I shall sette downe and I will graunt him life On the contrary if hee conquer mee let him doo with mee and mine as him pleaseth tell him these brauadoes ●… proude speeches cannot daunt resolute mindes and if hee dare graunt me safe conducte with good assuraunce not to offer mee anie wrong I will presentlie come on shore and try my fortune with him CHAP. VII Howe Palmendos came on lande to combat with the Gyant Baledon whom he vanquished and afterwarde deliuered many Knights out of his prysons among whom were two young Princes beeing Moores who in trauailing to the Emperours Courte were by a tempest cast on this Islande RIght soone went the Knightes to the Gyant with Palmendos challenge who béeing very wel pleased therewith came downe proudelie to y ● Port with these speeches Which is the wretched Knight that dare so peremptorilie venture on shore to receiue the death he hath iustly deserued I am the man aunswered Palmendos and I will be so good as my worde if thou wilt faithfully promise mee safetie from thy people By the hallowed fayth sayde Baledon that I owe to our Gods thou shalt be as secure as thou ca●…st require albeit I die vnder thy Sworde in Combat The Prince lothe to waste the time in wordes called for a S●…iffe to carrie him on shore which the Marriners vnwillinglie consented to beeing loth to loose a Knight so valiant In breefe he came on lande and no one with him but his Cozin Ozalio who woulde not at anie time forsake his companie Baledon praunceth vppe to the plaine before his Castell commanding his attendants on paine of their liues not any wa●…e to trouble or molest his enemie Now are the Champions couered with their Swords and Sh●…eldes and with such furie do●… the weapons clanche vpon y t Armour as though Vulcan and his Cyclops were at worke with their hammers You must thinke tha●… the Gyant béeing a man of monstrous stature dealing with a young Prince but a grystle in a manner in cōparison of him did
