all other affections and passions of the minde like a most excellent picture that is bordered about with Antike Boscage or Crotesko works of slight estimation This loue is not the most fruitlessest and base of all Passions as being begot by Desire and Sloath as working vppon weake hearts and frenzies as onely accompanying mutinous passions and discomfortable ielousies and in the ende aspyreth to a minutes Delight which is vsherd with much paine and followed by an eternall future repentance No no my Thirsis true loue and true louers doe mingle and confound themselues so in each other with a generall mixture that they out-weare and loose the port or gate of their first entrance Reason being taken away and a more excellent and more fatall power made Mistresse of that neuer to be vntied vnion these passions which they feigne to be his consorts are sicknesses of the minde which enuying loues exquisitenesse seeke with their poysons to confound his beauties but in the ende like cloudes betwixt the Sunne and our eiesights doe but darken loue that when loue breakes out it may be more resplendant As Siluagio was thus going on and discoursing praysing loue with disprayses Thirsis whose minde was busyed about much higher thoughts woulde suffer his eares to retayne nothing saue onelye the sounde of his speeches till in the ende lifting vppe their heades they might espie the onely Paragon of this worldes knowledge the excellent Melidora somewhat a farre off comming in the selfe same path in which them-selues walked in so much that except they retyred they must perforce meete her eye to eye and visage to visage Shee was Nymph-like cloathed in sundrie coloured silkes which being placed one vppon another were of an equall distance one shorter then another the in-most being longest as brauing of his most inwarde and familiar acquaintance yet all of them ioyning their beautyes together made round about her an arteficiall Rayne-bowe her hayre beeing wound vp in a lace of golde was intermingled with manye Flowers all which beauties as if they had beene too glorious for heauen or to rich for earth were shadowed and all ouer-cast with a large vaile of white Cypresse In this sorte shee was returning from the Temple of Diana that day beeing the great Saboath dedicated to the Goddesse whereby the auncient ordinances and edictes of that place all the Nimphes are to make their personall appearance and to offer solemne sacrifice and other priuate ceremonyes to the Queene of Chastitye beeing all vaylde from the iudyciall censure of the eye-sight least the misprision of a blush or the attaindure of a pale looke shoulde giue occasion to a wanton thought to misdeeme innocence In this Temple vppon this day if there bee found therein or after knowledge bring to light that there might haue beene found therein anye man or creature of the Male kinde it is present death without appeale or iustification In this sorte like the glorious Sunne in his noone-tyde progresse came she tracing along the vallyes her pretty foote scarce pressing downe the flower that it troade vppon But Thirsis eyes which long before had taken a full draught of her beautie being now lightning strooke with the beames of her presence wanting power to retire his soule being retired from al power to coÌ„mand his intendments amazedly stood stil with fixte eyes swolne heart sad thoughts stiffe ioyntes and all the terrors that could accompanye Loue in his desperate estate till Siluagio whose vnrefined spirit did more wonder then retaine the remembrance of what he wondered at awakning Thirsis intranced soule with earnest perswasions desired him once more to incounter the Goddesse of his fortunes alledging that stale hope which is euer most hoplesse that she was a woman and there was no impossibilities But Thirsis who hauing once seene Disdaine carried euer after his remembrance in his bosome like an affrighted child that hides his head when the nurse talkes of a Bugge-beare would faine haue gone aside from his sorrow telling Siluagio it was but labour lost sith both her greatnesse vertue and chast thoughts were in this conflict his mortall enemies But Siluagio taking vpon him the power of Reason to ouerthrow PassioÌ„ with a frieÌ„dly vpbraiding of Thirsis timerousnesse by no meanes would be withstoode but would force perforce enforce him to meete the Princesse saying who dares not aduenture can neuer attaine neither he which will not hazard vpon peril shall haue the honour of perils ouerthrow therefore aduance thy falne thoughts my Thirsis and pleade their humble seruiceablenesse whilest I with-drawe my selfe into this groaue and pray for thy succeding fortunes At this Siluagio withdrawing himselfe apart yet not so farre but that his eares might haue part of their conference the noble Princesse keeping her direct course and being come euen almost to the place where the loue-thralld Shepheard stoode the poore Swaine most humbly falling vpon his knees gaue her this salutation For euer may the grasse be greene most sacred Nimph which thou treadest vpon with thy more daintie feet and may an eternall Spring flourish in thy walks as thine immortall Beautie flourisheth in the hearts and eyes of all thy beholders To this salute the Princesse in a prettie silent blush giuing him a sleight thanks offered to passe by him as carried away with farre greater deseignes then the note of his fauours But the forlorne Shepheard who before fearing to offend nowe hauing giuen offence imagining Iniurie and it to haue both but one merite staying the Nymph by her sacred garments binding his knees still Apprentices to the base earth thus seconded his former speech after many teares and sighes interruptions Thou onely Superlatiue of all thy sexe euen for thy vertues sake flie not from thy seruants presence but if it be possible that the desperate anguish of my loue may raise any appearance of pittie in the all-sauing Firmament of thy sweete chaste and sober countenacne euen for the honour of thine owne deare name vnto which all the hearts of Kinges are tributarie sende forth some sparke to lighten my darke soule O shunne me not I say alas t' is for the harmelesse Lambe to shunne the deuouring Woolfe you are too fearefull Ladie O you are farre too timerous I am your seruant your vassaile and the worke of your owne eyes making alas I come not to offer violeÌ„ce but to receiue outrage Deare Goddesse emptie thy Quiuer spend thy Shafts vppon my soule O sticke them vp to the feathers in my heart for well I remember thou diddest long since giue mee that incurable wound which corsiue like eating my heart hath confounded my soule and Reason leauing nothing but thy pittie to call me from eternall bondage O thou immortall mirror where beautie findes out her best beauties thou that art the kingly seat of triumphant loue daine that thy faire eyes which make the morning blush which parch heauen scorch earth fire the woods breakes the frost flowers the earth and turnes the darke night to

the comfortable day O let those eyes which are so much the fayrer by how much my torment is made greater by them to pittie the anguish I haue got by gazing on them Melidora with a blushing countenance whose rosie colour gaue a signe of heauenly anger eyeing the Shepheard with an appauling Maiestie demaunded of him if hee were not that Thirsis who comming but lately into these walks had made those curious hookes and baites with which her-selfe and the other Nymphes had so oft taken so manie fish He made her answere it was hee shee demaunded againe if it were not he that had made the curious Nets wherewith himselfe and the Shepheards had taken so manie birdes hee made her answere it was hee why then said Melidora Shepheard farewell I will no longer stay with thee lest I bee likewise taken by thee but hee staying her againe said Excellent Ladie how can you be made captiue by your prisoner or howe can your subiect alter anye of your determinations alas most excellent creature you know my seruice hath attended you in the woods in the Medowes on the Mountains at the springs at the riuers by day by night I at euery silent time and yet hath my thoughts bin pure without the staine of villanie I saide Melidora but when yong desires begin to sting and bee inflamed you giue me cause to fear the effects of frenzie I hope said Thirsis by that to purchase my glorie when you beholding mine anguish shall admire my patience O but you may forget your selfe said Melidora I le near forget said Thirsis to doe that which shal coÌ„tent you I le neare attempt that which in my knowledge shal offend you I take you at your worde saide Melidora henceforth I charge you that you forget to loue me for there is nothing in the world can bring my minde better contentment againe I charge you that you tarrie no longer in my presence for nothing in the worlde is more offensiue vnto me Madam saide Thirsis both your commaunds are extreame yet to the first I must needs make answere I can neuer forget to loue you because all my thoughtes doe and must euer so doe liue in you Why said Melidora will you loue mee in despight of me O no said Thirsis not in despight though I cannot retyre Well said Melidora if thy disposition be as full of curtesie as thy words are of care auoyde from mee or let me goe from thee I hope said Thirsis that Time who is the worlds conquerour will eyther conquer you or consume me I humbly take my leaue And with that rising from the ground in such an heauie perplexitie that sorrow was neuer to bee seene in a more sorrowfull taking he departed from her and went not respecting where or whither onely desirous to hide his heade in some dark Caue where none but Miserie and he might liue togither Siluagio that sawe him thus depart like a condemned man and was a witnesse of the heauie sentence that shee his cruel Iudge had pronounced wondring that infernall furie should be found in a heauenly bodie and cursing nature that had placed a flintie heart in a silken Cabinet followed his friend with infinite pensiuenesse as well to preuent the aduauntage Dispaire might take of griefe as to fortifie that wounded hope which now was euen at his last breathing But Melidora all-be the excelleÌ„cie of her owne disposition could haue affoorded a more milder repulse yet at this time her mind being caried away with such an earnest affection as may well be comprehended within the title of loue would not suffer her tongue to deliuer any other satisfaction And this was the reason There is a gallant yong Shepheard who some three yeares agone hauing seated himselfe in Tempe hath lyued there with much happinesse more admiration but most loue his beautie inticing his good disposition confirming and his vertue binding vnto him all those with whom at any time he conuersed His rurall profession was beautified with a Cittie-gouernment his homely attyre had a courtly fashion and his plainest discourses were interlyned with wittie and morrall constructions his words were queint his behauiour ciuill and his desires lofty insomuch that he was called the courtly shepheard or the noble Pastor exceeding all his fellowe-Shepheards excepting onely the most rare Thirsis whom he could exceede in nothing but in the blisse of affection This worthie Swaine had long time before Thirsis came into these parts with his noble deseignes which promised more then could be comprehended in a countrey fortune had so won the heart of the excellent Princesse Melidora that shee did not disdaine to call him her seruant and with many graces did so adorne his blisfulnesse that his loftie fortunes might well contend with any Monarchs greatnesse in-so-much that loue who had euer liued prisoner in her eyes began to dart his beames into the Shepheards heart and with a wanton recoyling to looke nowe and then downe into her bosome making his dayly seruice the witnesse of his assured loue and her Fauour an Herauld to pronounce that by possibilitie shee might loue Nowe it happened that this day beeing the great Sabboth of Diana the Princesse had promised her Shepheard Diatassan for so was he named after the Rites and Ceremonies were finished to meete him in a most pleasant Arbor seated in a delicate groaue dedicated to the Goddesse Chloris to which none but her selfe onely had priuate accesse there to discourse vnto him the order the pompe and the manner of the Ceremonies which were due to the greate Goddesse and to that ende she was walkt foorth as before I haue rehearsed and beeing nowe entred into the Arbor finding her Shepheard not come taking vp a Lute which lay ypon a bed of flowers hard by to whose sweete sound coupling her more sweeter voyce she sang this Sonnet I Doe not now complaine of my disgrace O cruell Loue O loue too cruell crost Nor of the hower season time nor place Nor of my foyle for any freedome lost Nor of my minde by my misfortune daunted Nor of my wit with ouer-weening strooke Nor of my sense by any sound inchaunted Nor for the force of fierie poynted looke Nor of the steele that stickes within my wound Nor of my thoughts by worser thoughts displac'd Nor of the life I labour to cofound But I complaine that being thus disgrac'd Fierd feard fettred shot through slaine My death is such as I dare not complaine She had scarce made an ende of her song before the courtly Shepheard Diatassan entred into the groaue blushing to see his absence condemned of all negligent errors by her presence humbly besought her Maiestie to pardon his slow-footed attendaÌ„ce alledging the care of his folde the feare of suspect and many other prettie excuses but aboue all he alledged the losse of a most dainty lambe which he had most curiously brought vp and wherewith Melidora was much delighted to play saying that morning the cruel wolfe had

Diadem with our feet whose glorie being ingrauen in our hearts woulde make vs swim bloody seas to attaine the possession This speake I to you the crowne and glory of all Maidens to whom Nature hath been so prodigall of beautie that I feare for your sake she will proue penurious to all after ages in-so-much that slouenly Art taking vppon him Natures prerogatiue will like a lauish tell-tale discouer the defects of womens desires and beauties O this I say againe I speake vnto you who being most beautiful are most admired and most of all creatures in the world enthroned and crowned with an immoueable and constant affection O Madam did you but feele the least of those bitter paines which the most induring and forlorn Shepheard Thirsis for your sake onely endureth or did you but know the violence of those immortall flames which darted from your eyes like lightning kill ere they be perceyued I know it were impossible for your tender heart not to relent at his passions let mee beseech you then most diuine creature if you be but as sensible of paines as you are beautifull to occasion torments if in that excellent and sacred frame of your bodie there was euer felt the touch of all sauing pity to cast one relenting looke vppon the vtter dispairing estate of thy most lamentable Shepheard whereby thy mercie shall be made most mightie thy sports and pleasures anew reuiued thy delightful Tempe which droops through his melancholy spring a fresh bring forth sweete Poesies worthy onely of the Muses Ethera had scarcely made an end of these words when Melidora starting vpon her feete as if she had beheld eyther the dreadfulnesse of some monster or felt the bitter sauour of Rue or Wormwood Disdaine and Anger spreading colours of defiance in the fayre Roses of her lilly cheekes sowring her countenance with a most louely sadnesse she tolde the Nymph Ethera that shee had attainted her eares with most blasphemous speeches the sound whereof sith she could not take from her memorie yet would she henceforth foreuer banish herselfe the companie of so vnchaste a reporter What said she hath Thirsis see'd thee to be immodest or hast thou seene in mine outward gestures that appearance of folly which might incourage thee to these monstrous perswasions Diana forbid O heauens let me not liue when my life shall presage I will fall from vertue and as for Thirsis where before I did but onely hate his loue now I hate him thy selfe and both your memories and with that offering to depart away before Ethera could either make excuse for him or Apologie for herselfe there suddenly rusht out of the woods a monstrous man or a man mor hideous then any monster his name was Demagoras a man whose stature did so farre exceede the greatest proportion of men then liuing that more then doubling their features hee was held for an inuincible Giant his strength was greater then his limbs and his minde fortified by his strength made him so infinitely bolde that he durst to aduenture any danger how desperate soeuer his pride had no bound yet would his crueltie haue boasted of more larger limits What shall I say such alone hee was as to say truth was vtterlye all euill This Damagoras hath liued about the walks and borders of Tempe more then this three yeares making his reuenues by the spoyle robberie and pillage of the poore Shepheards and lurking in sundrie vaste Caues which for that purpose he holdeth doth howerly and dayly annoy and waste not onely Tempe but al Thessalia all-be the countrey hath at diuerse times set out whole armyes to hunt him but all in vaine so great hath beene his craft and pollicie This Demagoras whose very presence was able to haue appaal'd the stoutest resolution had now stricken such deadly feare into the minde of the noble Princesse that like an innocent Doue ouer whom the covering Falcon threatneth more then an ordinarie destruction shee stoode so pittifully amazed that feare hauing taken from her minde the remembrance of all aduauntage or safetie she had no power to stirre whilest the rude slaue like a greedie Cormorant seazed vppon her lillie hande whose verie touch might well haue tolde him howe much too precious it was for so vilde and so inciuill an imbracement After hee had caught her thus within the compasse of his power shaking his grizely vncurled lockes which seemed neuer to haue beene acquainted with any manner of comelinesse hee tryumphed of his conquest as much as if he had giuen an ouerthrow to the whole worlde and indeed the world could be no more lamentably deformed then to haue thus the onely Iewel therof the admirable Melidora in so wofull an estate of suddaine destruction for after the inhumane wretch had Lion-like ceaz'd her within his pawes all-be his onely desire to doe ill was attractiue inough to draw him to the vttermost of illnesse yet beholding the excellencie of her heauenly countenance whose chast beames were to the vertuous schooles to instruct modestie and correct viciousnesse now to him were firebrands of lust and vnnaturall motiues to most bloody tyranny which only out of their own excellencies could but worke this alteration that hee whose Fury was euer his orator and Will his law was now at first content to intreate what of all things was most impossible to be granted I meane the diuine treasure of her loue and the fruition thereof which the sauage monster told her had taken such fast roote in his degenerate soule that it was not possible for him to liue and indure either delay or deniall To which the Princesse made him answer that how euer the eye is said to entertain affections in moments yet for her own part her eye was so true a tenant to her hart that it durst not giue harbour to any obiect which of her heart was not first esteemed most worthy wherefore she humblie besought him that for that time she might returne in safetie and if hereafter her eye would satisfie her heart it was likely she would not conceale her longings the villaine with this answere grew so inraged that rudely shaking her by the tender arme like a Northerne blast tearing a slender Tamoriske he said Disdainfull Maide thou that art the horror of Tempe and the wonder of so many amorous Shepheards thinkst thou that either my loue shall indure controll or my desire to be excellently impious loose me this oportunitie to bee notably infamous it caÌ„not damzel it cannot I haue vow'd the spoile of thy good name the destruction of thine honor froÌ„ which neither Iones thunder nor Apollos darts that slue the Serpent Python is able to bring thee anie ransome and the more willing I am to be thy persecuter by how much I shall gaine that celestiall Iewell which through the world is blazed of the greatest valuation And here the Monster began to folde his armes about her Iuorie bodie from which she nimbly deliuering herselfe fell downe
