neer you that he alone and without delay follow me whither I shall conduct him I being certaine that he will obey you whatsoever you shall command him Onolorea knowing the fault she committed by so unadvisedly promising remained pensive and in great perplexity to forsake so soon the thing which she loved the best in the world To shun which she answered the Damsel In good faith he is so lately come to the Emperor and I have done so little for him that he hath good reason to refuse me but intreat him your selfe and it may be he will agree to your request As for me I have no power over him as to command him But Lisvart being willing to assure the contrary suddenly arose and putting his knee to the ground said to her Madam seeing that you have granted one gift to this Damsel may it therefore please you to grant me another Fair Sir said she I am very willing I intreat you then Madam said he to satisfie this which she hath requested of you and permit me that I follow her by your Command Onolorea knew well that she was beset on every side wherefore not being able to recoile she answered him Goe then and God be your guide Lisvart humbly thanked her and said to the Damsel that he was ready to mount on horseback when she pleased That shall be presently then answered she And at that time they both taking their leaves of the Court departed But they had hardly passed out of the City walls when an Esquire presented himselfe before the Emperor and said to him Sir the Duke of Dardarie hath been defeated by the King of Breigne and he is now besieged by him in the Town of Autrusque being readie to be ruined both he and his people if you do not send him aid This news did much trouble the Court and the Duke of Ortilensa was suddenly commanded to take with him ten thousand Horsemen and twenty thousand foot-men to goe presently and raise the siege for which he wisely provided And in these passages Parmenir Florestan and Galuanes Companions of Lisvart tarrying for his return determined to goe in this expedition And they intreated the Emperor to tell them the cause wherefore this war had been enterprized between him and his enemy My friends answered he he hath rebelled against me and hath usurped and taken from me by treason the Towns of Breigne and Teredie being ready to doe worse if he should be suffered Sin said Florestan to doe you service my Companions and I will goe in this service and will be imployed in whatsoever your Lieutenants shall command wherefore the Emperor thanked them Nevertheless before they departed they went to the Ladies and Florestan addressing himselfe to Onolorea who was then talking with Griliana said to her Madam in waiting for the returne of the fair young Gentleman I will goe if it may so stand with your good liking into this war as your Knight Yet under this Condition that he being returned to you you shall restore me to Madam Griliana whose I am and until then I will leave her my heart in hostage to dispose of as it shall please hee At these words they began to laugh and bee use the Emperesse came neer them Onolorea answered him no otherwise but thus that God grant they may all return in short time in good health Nevertheless Galuanes entertained Bridelena and said to her with great affection Madam command me then that as yours I may imploy my selfe in this enterprize to the end that being yours I may with the more ease vanquish your enemies In good faith answered she you shall not be refused in this demand I doe therefore pray and require you And taking a Ring from her finger she gave it him in confirmation of their alliance Truly the pleasure which they tooke in talking together had been longer But there entred a Dwarfe the most deformed that could be who without doing any reverence to the Emperor or any other presented to him a Letter sealed with sixtie seven Seales which was read before all the Company And it contained that which follows MELIA Ladie over all Magicians enemy to the Christian Faith and diligent in daily increasing the law of our Gods Know Emperor of Trebisond that Constantinonople shall in short time be besieged by sixtie seven Princes of the Pagan Law where I will be in person to take the pleasure to see it burned and the wicked man that kept it even he to whom all Christendome looked for favor as its Refuge and principal aid But it shall happen otherwise For she to whom thy Daughter hath delivered him having put him in her power shall deliver him into so sure guard that neither Amadis his Grandfather nor Esplandian his father although they were not enchanted should have the power to succour him And yet that is little in regard of what I intend to doe for by little and little I will have the rest of your other Knights to dispose of them at my pleasure forceing the rest of the Common people to turne to our Faith be it either by love or by force and doubt not of this for I will doe all without difficulty The Emperor and all the Court were very much troubled at such pitifull news knowing this Letter to be assuredly written by Melia the Enchantresse and sealed with her seale amongst others whereon was engraven a woman holding a naked sword in her hand and a Crosse at her feet And that which augmented the grief of many was the loss of Lisvart who under the shadow of equity went joyfully to his death whereunto the strange Damsel led him for which cause the Infanta Onolorea was so passionate that she being retired into her Chamber cast her selfe on her bed and began to lament with the greatest grief in the world saying with continual sighes and tears O Lord of all the world how hath it pleased you to permit that I alone should be the cause of all the ill that is to happen to Christendome Alas cruel death longed for and loved by the afflicted wherefore doe you consent that I live one whole houre knowing in me the evil that shall redound to so many perions And speaking these words Griliana came who knowing part of her affections doubted that she would fall from bad to worse for she was ready to swound at every word Wherefore taking her in her armes to comfort her she said Madam I did never yet think that you had so little constancie and I wonder that you will give so much credit to a false witch who hateth and is enemy to all vertue Doe you think that our Lord who is goodnes it selfe will consent to the ruine of so faire a young Gentleman as is yours and lesse to the destruction of the holy Faith These are meere vanities doe not beleeve them and I pray be not so sad before the time Alas said Onolorea the fear which I have makes my heart so
