a man and bring him to farre greater honour THe Ladies sighed very often hearing the variety of wofull miseries happening to Alathiella but who knoweth what occasion moued them to those sighes Perhaps there were some among them who rather sighed they could not be so often married as she was rather then for any other compassion they had of her disasters But leauing that to their owne construction they smiled merrily at the last speeches of Pamphilus and the Queene perceiuing the Nouell to be ended shee fixed her eye vpon Madame Eliza as signifying thereby that she was next to succeede in order which shee ioyfully embracing spake as followeth The field is very large and spacious wherein all this day we haue walked and there is not any one here so wearied with running the former races but nimbly would aduenture on as many more so copious are the alterations of Fortune in sad repetition of her wonderfull changes and among the infinity of her various courses I must make addition of another which I trust will no way discontent you When the Romaine Empire was translated from the French to the Germains mighty dissentions grew between both the nations insomuch that it drew a dismall and a lingring warre In which respect as well for the safety of his owne Kingdome as to annoy and disturbe his enemies the King of France and one of his sonnes hauing congregated the forces of their owne dominions as also of their friends and confederates they resolued manfully to encounter their enemies But before they would aduenture on any rash proceeding they held it as the chiefest part of pollicie and Royall prouidence not to leaue the State without a chiefe or Gouernour And hauing had good experience of Gualtier Counte D'Angiers to be a wise worthy and most trusty Lord singularly expert in militarie discipline and faithfull in all affaires of the Kingdome yet fitter for ease and pleasure then laborious toyle and trauaile hee was elected Lieutenant Gouernour in their sted ouer the whole Kingdome of France and then they went on in their enterprize Now began the Counte to execute the office committed to his trust by orderly proceeding and with great discretion yet not entring into any businesse without consent of the Queene and her faire daughter in law who although they were left vnder his care and custodie yet notwithstanding he honoured them as his superiours and as the dignity of their quality required Heere you are to obserue concerning Counte Gualtier himselfe that he was a most compleat person aged little aboue forty yeares as affable and singularly conditioned as any Noble man possibly could be nor did those times afford a Gentleman that equalled him in all respects It fortuned that the King and his sonne being busie in the afore-named warre the wife and Lady of Counte Gualtier died in the meane while leauing him onely a sonne and a daughter very young and of tender yeares which made his owne home the lesse welcome to him hauing lost his deare Loue and second selfe Hereupon hee resorted to the Court of the said Ladies the more frequently often conferring with them about the waighty affaires of the Kingdome in which time of so serious interparlance the Kings Sonnes wife threw many affectionate regards vpon him conuaying such conspiring passions to her heart in regard of his person and vertues that her loue exceeded all capacity of gouernement Her desires out stepping all compasse of modesty or the dignity of her Princely condition throwes off all regard of ciuill and sober thoughts and guides her into a Labyrinth of wanton imaginations For she regards not now the eminencie of his high authority his grauity of yeares and those parts that are the true conducts to honour but lookes vpon her owne loose and lasciuious appetite her young gallant and ouer-ready yeelding nature comparing them with his want of a wife and likely hope thereby of her sooner preuailing supposing that nothing could be her hinderance but onely bashfull shame-facednesse which she rather chose vtterly to forsake and set aside then to faile of her hote enflamed affection and therefore shee would needes be the discouerer of her owne disgrace Vpon a day being alone by her selfe and the time seeming suteable to her intention shee sent for the Counte vnder colour of some other important conference with him The Counte D'Angiers whose thoughts were quite contrary to hers immediately went to her where they both sitting downe together on a beds side in her Chamber according as formerly shee had plotted her purpose twice hee demaunded of her vpon what occasion she had thus sent for him She sitting a long while silent as if she had no answere to make him pressed by the violence of her amorous passions a vermillion tincture leaping vp into her face yet shame enforcing teares from her eyes with words broken and halfe confused at last she began to deliuer her minde in this manner Honourable Lord and my dearely respected friend being so wise a man as you are it is no difficult matter for you to know what a fraile condition is imposed both on men and women yet for diuers occasions much more vpon the one then the other Wherefore desertfully in the censure of a iust and vpright Iudge a fault of diuers conditions in respect of the person ought not to be censured with one and the same punishment Beside who will not say that a man or woman of poore and meane estate hauing no other helpe for maintainance but laborious trauaile of their bodies should worthily receiue more sharpe reprehension in yeelding to amorous desires or such passions as are incited by loue then a wealthy Lady whose liuing relieth not on her paines or cares neither wanteth any thing that she can wish to haue I dare presume that you your selfe will allow this to be equall and iust In which respect I am of the minde that the fore-named allegations ought to serue as a sufficient excuse yea and to the aduantage of her who is so possessed if the passions of loue should ouer-reach her alwayes prouided that shee can pleade in her owne defence the choise of a wise and vertuous friend answerable to her owne condition and quality and no way to be taxed with a seruile or vile election These two especiall obseruations allowable in my iudgement and liuing now in me seazing on my youthfull blood and yeares
