your faithful friend hath sent vs to seeke you out praying you to come and beare him company to reioyce in that he hath knowen the knight of the Sun to bée his brother and son vnto the Emperor Trebatio which is that knight of the Chariot with whom he made the battaile the day past What is this that you doo tell me said the king Sacridoro that the Knight of the Chariot is brother vnto the Knight of Cupid Yea surely that hee is said the knight but and you will not beeléeue mée lift vp your eyes and looke towards the Citie and you shall sée the great Feasts and triumphs which are made therein for the acknowledging of theyr new Princes The king Sac●…idoro who was no lesse amazed then ioyefull at those newes looked towards the Citie and saw that with the cressets fires and other lights as though the Citie had béene on fire In great hast he arose vp and the knights which came to seeke him fetched his horse who was loose in y e field and bridled him thē they all together leaped vpon their horses and went towards the mighty pallace and met with so many maskes and other kindes of pleasure that almost they could not passe through the stréetes And when they came wheras the Emperour the Princes were this good king was knowen by them straight by the deuice of his armour hée who first went foorth for to receiue him was the Emperor Trebatio who clasping his armes about his neck saide Now is all my desire accomplished worthie King for that I am come to the knowledge of him who for that hée would not loose the knight of Cupid his faithfull friend did abhorre his life sought his owne death in the deepe fountaine of the Sauages wheras he could haue no other hope but to die the death Oh happy and fortunate son Rosicleer that could obtaine so high and faithful a friend And more happy are you worthy King that in dooing of this worthy act of friendship you haue filled all the whole world with y e fame thereof in such sort that it will neuer decaie nor bée forgotten so long as the reason of man doth endure The king kneeling downe would haue taken his hands to haue kissed them but the Emperour did cause him to arise from the ground and would not consent therevnto Then did all the rest come and imbrace him and did him great honour for that it was knowen to them all what hée had done for Rosicleer by the other Princes which came thether as you haue heard in the Historie So for a perpetuall memorie héerof béecause that such a worthie déede should not bee forgotten the Emperour commanded that it should bee portrayed in the fore front of his mightie Pallace nigh vnto the aduenture of Lindaraza which made all them that did béeholde the same to meruaile much thereat When Rosicleer came to embrace the king Sacridoro theyr ioy and pleasure was no lesse at that time then if they had not séene one another in twentie yeares In this time the good Pages of the Knight of the Sunne who neuer departed from theyr Lord from the time that the battaile was finished vntill the time that the worthie Knights were knowen for Bretheren and the great sorrow and griefe which they receiued for that which was past was nothing in comparison so much but their ioy and plesure was much more in that they saw béefore theyr eyes and thought all theyr labour meruaylouslie well béestowed which at all times they well accustomed to doo in ample manner vpon so worthie and valyant a Lord. And as they did partly vnderstand the loue that theyr Lord the Knight of the Sunne had to the Princesse Lindabrides and remembring that shée remayned in a great sound at such time as the battail betwéene the two brethren was ended Aurelio sayd vnto his brother Bynnano that hée should remaine there with theyr Lord and that hée would goe and carrie these newes vnto the Princesse Lindabrides for that possiblte shée had no vnderstanding thereof So hée departed out of the Pallace and w●…nt vnto the triumphant Chariot whereas hée found the Gyants in theyr watch verie heauie and sorrowfull for that all of them thought verily the Princesse Lindabrides had béene dead for that shée neuer returned nor came vnto hir selfe from the time that they carryed the Knight of the Sunne out of the iusting place and for that Aurelia was knowen of all the gards hee went vp into the Chariot vnto the chamber whereas the Princesse was layde vpon hir bed and hir Damsells round about hir as though shée had béene dead who were very much comforted when they saw and knew him and with the great desire that they had to know what was béecome of the knight of the Sunne they asked of him where hée was Let vs doo so much that wée may bring the Princesse againe vnto hir remembraunce said Aurelio for that I doo bring newes that shée will not a little reioyce ●…ir selfe at And therewith hir Damsels hee tooke the Princesse by the hand made hir to sit vpright vpon hir rich bed threw on hir face meruaylous swéet waters vsed such remedies that shée somewhat came againe vnto hir selfe that séeing Aurelio with a merry and chéerful voice he said What is this Lady that in the time that your highnesse ought to bée most merry and glad in helping to celebrate the great ioy pleasure which my Lord the Knight of the Sun doth receiue in acknowledging himselfe to bée son vnto the Emperour Trebatio and brother vnto the Knight of Cupid with whom yesterday hée made that rigorous battell now you to bée so sorrowfull sad and out of all remēbrance as yet the newes is not fully knowen abroade You shall vnderstand that my Lord the knight of the Sun is very well thanks be to almighty god And for that the Emperor Trebatio his father the Empresse Briana his mother will not giue him leaue to come see your highnesse he doth send mée to desire you to pardon him for this night till to morrow it bée day At which newes the great ioy pleasure which the fayre Princesse receiued was such that if the Page had not béen so well knowen as he was shée could not haue béeléeued it but béecause hée was knowen to bée so faithfull a seruant vnto the knight of the Sun shée was fully perswaded of the truth and arose vp from hir bed as merry as ioyful as euer she was in all hir life said that by no means she would remaine there but goe sée the knight of the Sun and speake vnto y e Emperour Trebatio vnto the Empress Briana and help them to reioyce the acknowledging of their lost sons therwith shée called hir damsels to help to make hir ready to trim hir in the best and richest manner that was possible calling to remembraunce how the Princess●… Claridiana was in

Candramarte and how it was that Gentleman of the Sunne his brother who beeing a yong intant was lost at the Monestarie of the Riuer who at this present is a Pagan and dooth lyue in the law of the Gentiles for that hée hath béene brought vp amongst Pagans and dooth not know whose sonne hée is although hee hath ben in Hungaria in the court of his grandfather the King Tiberio hath done so high mighty deeds of Knighthood as euer hath ben seene or heard of When the Knight of Cupid heard al this he receyued very great content was very glad that the long heauy sorrow of the Princesse his mother was remedyed the which did giue hir ●…ally no small sorrow griefe And being in this delight the wise man procéeded forwards in his talke and sayd Touching the newes that thou do●…st aske of me of the Court of the King Oliuerio I giue thee to vnderstand that all which at this present they doe intreat of there is that y e Prince of Lusitania is very much in loue with the Princesse Oliuia and hath demaunded hir of the King hir Father for spouse the King hath promised him the graunt therof and what shall happen therof I cannot ●…ell neyther what the Princesse Oliuia doth pretend therin for that to me there is not graunted so much liberty as to discouer or declare the secrets of harts neyther of that which hath passed at this present And now pardon me for that I cannot aunswere thée vnto any other thing whatsoeuer thou wilt demaund of me And in saying these words the wise Artidon did close vp his eyes remayned dead as before But when the Knight of Cupid vnderstood what hée sayde touching the Princesse Oliuia his bloud wared cold in his body all the pleasure which before he receiued was now turned into heauinesse hauing no power to dissemble any longer he cast vp his eyes vnto the heauens and vttered words of great lamentation and with so terrible sighinges and complayntes that the Quéene Artidea who was beholding him hadde great compassion of his sorrow And beeing in this griefe hée heard a great noyse of people which were comming vp the stayres into the Gallerye And looking what it should bée hée saw the Shepheards that remayned without the caue abiding his successe who when they perceyued that hee tarried so long and came ●…r soorth and agayne hearing the great noyse of the battayle of the Bull as also when the Dragon was ingendered they were greatly amazed whervpon two of them went to carry these newes vnto the Prince Luziro who was in a citie but a mile from that place And in the meane time that these two Shepheards were declaring vnto the Prince all that they heard after that the Knight had entred into the caue at that instant was heard that great terrible thundering which was made when the Knight of Cupid brake the doore of the inchaunted Quadran with the yron male of the Giant at which time the Quéene was set at liberty which when the Prince all his Knights heard that terrible wonderfull noyse they all suspected that that Knight had broke vp vndone that Inchauntment and straunge aduenture of the caue for that it was told him by many wise men that in his time the Quéene should be discharged set at liberty So strayght way the Prince tooke his horse being accompanyed with many noble Knights he came vnto the ca●…e and when he came thether he saw that the letters that were wont to be there were altered other letters conteyning these words in their place This aduenture was finished by the Knight of Cupid who did set at liberty the Quéene Artidea and in remembraunce therof ther doth remaine within the wise Artidon of whom all those that are touched with amorous passions may passe the flames of fire without any impediment and know of him all that euer they will aske When the Prince and all those that came with him had read that writing they were meruaylous glad and ioyful and thought long to see the Queene and the Knight that had set hir at liberty And without any more tarrying they entered in through the flames of fire and for that the most part of them were young men louers they passed in quiet without any 〈◊〉 of the fire and went forwardes on till they came into the court there they did all of them behold the w●…ll wheron was portrayed the Knight of Cupid making his battayles with the Bull Dragon Gyant which was wonderfull to be séene as well for the flercenes and straungenes of the battailes as for the great subt●…itye and art that was in the setting forth of the story vpon the wall After that they had well perused the same they went forwards vp the stayres and came into the galleries This was the noyse that the queene the Knight of Cupid heard tarrying to sée what it should be the Prince of Luziro accompanied with all his Knights entered into the quadran when they saw the queene whom the Knight of Cupid had by the hand they were greatly amazed to see hir so faire beautifull when they came vnto hir they asked hir hands to kisse them told hir who they were When the Queene vnderstood he was the Prince Luziro who was gouernour of the realme in hir absence she was very glad and ioyfull and intertayned him with a very good grace and asked of him how he did know that the aduenture was furnished because he came so quicklie thether And then he told vnto hir what the shepheards had declared to him and of the great noise of thunder which they heard he affirmed that to be the occasion that they came thether so soone and after that the Prince had talked with the queene he turned vnto the Knight and did imbrace him receiuing him with wordes of great curtesie friendship who was like wise greatly astonied at his mightie faire countenaunce which was agréeable vnto his great curtesie courage shewed in that aduenture being very desirous to know who y t stout valiant Knight should be they requested the queene to demaund it of him for that the Quéene heard that which the wise Artidon had said vnto him she strayght waies declared that he was the Emperours son of Greece wondering very much thereat they could not but looke behold him with great affection So after that among them ther had passed many curt●…ous wordes the Prince Luziro and all the rest that came with him dyd indeauour themselues to béeholde the straunge thinges of that inchaunted Quadran And when they saw the wise Artidon with his breast open in such sort that they might discouer his hart they wer moued had great compassion on him did very much extoll prayse his wisdome bounty in that he would rather dye then profite himselfe of the Quéene agaynst hyr will And when
