were gone out after that manner and then they began their Dance in seven or eight different airs with a world of Characters and Figures interlaced which caused them all to admire As it was done Mars and Love fought and after a world of blows Mars perceiving his eyes wounded with a bolt which Love had secretly shot at him in stead of being daunted by so sweet a wound was rather madded and vexed that he should be thus vanquished and so fell on so courageously that coming something near him he snatched away Cupids band which blindfolding his eyes caused him to strike a many fruitless blows But Love recovering his sight the loss of which had made him so often fail took one of the sharpest arrows in his Quiver and shot it so directly that piercing the very heart of his enemy he gained his honour and his life The gods which were upon the Heavens of these Clouds quitted their divine Seat and came presently to put the band again about Cupids eyes lest this divine Archer should see to dispeople the Heaven of gods the Earth of men and that sharing in the Empire of Pluto they should dwell together in those obscure shades Jupiter as the greatest and also the most incensed of them all spake thus unto them Mortals who not being able to comprehend and dive into the reasons of divine actions offend us often by your rebellious ignorance That it may not happen to you to fall any more into this disobedience know that Love having taken its original from Heaven doth yet retain some sparks of Divinity among you earthly humanes and that you are not to give him battel but obedience If we bind up his eyes it is not to blind his sight but only make him a little more submissive and that we may set him free when any one is so foolish as to disdain and contemn so great an infant as to equal his strength to his These words ended the gods returned into their proper places and Jupiter to demonstrate his anger suddenly did eclipse the glorious Sun and in stead of light gave the company a sweet showre of rain with hail of Pearls and Sugar-plums Whilest the company was busie in the gathering of them this superbe Vanquisher receiving the Trophies and the Laurels that Mars had upon his head went to sacrifice them with his heart and liberty to the beauty and graces of the fair Lozia and kneeling unto this sacred Deity after he had kissed the border of her Gown spake as followeth Fair Princess I give unto your eyes all the honor of this glorious Conquest to whom I consecrate these Laurels as an acknowledgment of this favour and these Mirtles as the first homage after my new subjection If their sweet flames have inflamed my Soul with an amorous heat their dainty darts serving themselves with my hands have utterly extinguished it in mine enemies I hope this Mask hath not given you any mistrust of my love and beleeve what I have untertaken hath been to deceive this peoples eyes and not yours my fair Princess To which I wish that the violent flames that I have received therefrom these six moneths and the entertainment which I shall keep always ready for your service may be as continual as is my countenance which carrieth both my love and heart upon the front thereof as the most weighty testimony of the truth of my words And saying so he plucked aside his Mask to shew Lozia his face and put it on presently again for fear of being seen of others The Lord and Ladies supposed it to be some Country Gentleman and his companions thought he would tell her some tale and so without suspicion he deceived both the one and the other and continued his discourse saying Fair Princess whose Sun may it never set permit me this day to call you the Mistress of my desires and all my wills together that I may have the honour to receive the honorable quality of the most humble servant of yours which I shall esteem as great a favour as your beauty your graces and merits making you the noblest Paragon of all others give me desires and knowledg of so great an happiness swearing to you by the faithfullest oaths a constant Lover can make unto his Mistress That I will rather dye then disobey the least of your Commandments and shall honour nothing more then the flames of love and passion which your beautiful eyes have kindled in my brest If love transformed into your face animateth my heart with the sweet heat of your eyes with an impatient desire to serve you the vertue under the sweet object of your merits much more ravishing by its admirable attractions takes away with a thousand delectable transportations my will from my will to leave me nothing but the inclination to honour you for ever as the Soul of my Soul which giveth motion to my life by that of mine affection Fair goddess were I to write thy delicate loves I would not invoke as did the ancient Apollo for his divine heat but would come unto thy fair eyes to animate so effectually my spirit and my pen that my discourse may be so gravely sweet that it may delight the most delicate ears of those which read it and so learnedly grave that the most elevated spirits may highly esteem it who seek rather for the steeled points of weapons to satisfie their minds then the quaint and alluring sweetness of fair words to please their ears which is the outward bark of all unto generous spirits Princess I finish my words to give beginning to those which you shall say to your servant Clerio saith Lozia your noble spirit and your gallantry are sufficient not only to oblige Lozia but the greatest and graciousest Queen in the world to honour your love and merits I perceive my self so happy in the amorous assurance of your affections that I ten times more esteem the possession of your good grace then of twenty Realms A Lady which sate somewhat near her not dreaming of any thing less then of these Loves came nearer to hear their discourse to whom Lozia breaking her discourse said without any appearance of alteration Madam you do me a pleasure to come hither for this hour hath this same Maskman talked to me in Italian and I know not what he saith therefore I pray you be mine Interpreter and you will ease me of a hard task This Lozia said purposely that Clerio who speak perfect Italian might quckly deride her for her broken language and drive her away for shame He being of a quick apprehension knew his Mistresses intentions and so began to tell an hundred jests which so amazed this poor woman that she knew not what to do but that others did come to participate of the pleasure which Clerio seeing stole away and unmasked himself and went to his Cousin with whom he discoursed till the Dance was ended of the contentment he had received by the honour Lozia did

Nectar into their mouthes which the gods have sent them to render them immortal to the end that by this means they may be freed from this Tyrant You shall in one instant see them so divine and so fair that in the twinkling of an eye they will vanish from these barbarous Troops as Clouds from the sight of so clear and divine Beams Vincia being as much ravished with the beauty of this fair Messenger as perswaded with his perswasion and desired desires imagining her self to be already some little Saint in the Paradice of these looked for deities took this sole dissolving poyson from the deceitful hands of love and with hers being innocent put it to their lips These two Lovers feeling the mortal effects of this poyson at one time both awaked and after a thousand kisses and dear imbracements Clerio finding himself at the end of his fortunes and life took his leave of Lozia in many sad and dolful speeches and calling for his Gentlemen he said to them Sirs excuse me I intreat you If I have not yet done any thing for you to disingage me from the obligation which I owe you it very much grieves my soul come I pray you that I may embrace you and take with this my last adieu all my money and jewels Go my friends treat with this Barbarian for the conservation of your lives and estates and for the honor of your Master who dies These poor Gentlemen retired in tears and sighs not having power to speak one word Clerio hearing the sighs of his Cousin and the just reproaches which she gave to Love for having so cruelly deceived her comforted her with loving speeches but she refusing all comfort resolved to die with them and therefore she took the rest of that portion which remained that Clerio and Lozia had not drunk Lozia likewise finding her self ready to expire turned towards Clerio and gave many a pittiful sigh and uttered many words in tears and at last embracing one another in their arms and both making a sigh at one time these two souls confusedly carried on the wings of one sigh went to the Elisian fields where Love who attended them in the company of a thousand and a thousand Lovers went before them and with honor gave them the honor of the most honorable place as they who were most worthy A thousand Crowns honored their heads a thousand Loves their Loves and a thousand Triumphs their Victories Let us here leave these two Lovers in their new delights and come to Vincia who having perceived this mortal seperation embraced Clerio and Lozia a thousand times one after another and in the middle of these tears and sighs drew these speeches from her heart with most impatient passions of her soul Clerio art thou dead And thou fair Lozia Alas I yet feel some warmth on their amorous cheeks Your fair souls have they already left these perfect beauties which the heavens and nature jealous of this fair work jealously honor Alas must I close these fair eys which amorously kills after death those who have the honor to see them and this dilicate mouth which with a thousand fair discourses seasoned with the grace and sweetness of speech annimateth souls with ravishment Fair hands must mine render yours this last office of duty and affection closing you under this sheet with all the beauties and graces together Alas pardon me for your death fair Mistress which I have innocently procured by the artifice and treason of this Perfidious But I do ill to accuse him it was not reasonable that this royal Majesty these beauties these sweet these prety these amorous members should serve for a Trophy to this Barbarian who to honour his Trophies would have publickly dishonoured them and to the end that my eyes may lose the honour of seeing you losing theirs also in the middle of these tenebrosities fair one I follow you and pronounsing these speeches she fell down dead at the feet of the fair Lezia In this mean time the Turk accorded with these Gentlemen what they desired and knowing that Clerio and Lozia were sick had yet this respect in despight of his cruclties that he caused the fattery to cease and he made this answer to those who brought him the news of their death demanding permission to build a monument to bury then in I will not refuse this honour to so great a Prince and his Wife but I will spend one hundred thousand Crowns to render them worthy the bravest Cavalier and the fairest Princess that ever was and I would it had cost me two millions that they had lived He entred into the Castle and seeing Clerio and Lozia under a Cloth of Gold covered with a sheet he commanded that they should be uncovered and after he had honoured the memory of the valor and merits of this Prince turning his eyes on the fair Body of Lozia he one by one looked over her beauties and Graces who seemed rather to be in a sweet sleep of love then death which this barbarous heart received with one thousand regrets and two thousand so living sighs or rather so mortal flames that he served as a victim to himself to expiate his cruelties The tears and sighs of the vanquishers and vanquished were in such manner mingled together that grief and victory were equal in their inequality In this time the workmen finished the Tombe which was of Jasper mingled with Pearls and precious stones so fair and so rich that better could not be where these Gentlemen with a thousand sighs and a thousand tears honourably buried Vincia and Clerio and the fair Lozia Fait Ladies let us leave these Gentlemen in their Voyage and these Levers in their rest FINIS Imprimatur Na.
