A11333	Narbonus The laberynth of libertie. Very pleasant for young gentlemen to peruse, and passing profitable for them to prosecute. Wherein is contained the discommodities that insue, by following the lust of a mans will, in youth: and the goodnesse he after gayneth, being beaten with his owne rod, and pricked with the peeushnesse of his owne conscience, in age. VVriten by Austin Saker, of New Inne.	Saker, Austin.	1580 (1580)	STC 21593; ESTC S101648	202,886	286

Henricus the Uncle of Narbonus Phemocles then running to Henricus demaūded the cause of his mourning and the meaning of that company Who aunswered for his onely fréend and Nephew Narbonus Wherat Phemocles could not refrayne wéeping nor holde the trickling teares from his moyst chéekes yet thinking to sée the ende and to behold him layd in his graue he followed the company and went after them into the Church Where when they were come and at the graues side Phemocles preased close to the Coffin and stoode hard by the graue when it was set downe the Sheelde taken from it and the cloathes taken from the Chest the Préestes leauing singing and the funerall Rites ended they were putting the Coffin into the ground and giuing him the last duties of earthly motions Then there came an olde Woman wéeping and desired she might come to the Coffin before it was put into the ground which graunted her that she came neare to it she knéeled downe vsed these words O Narbonus one of the flowers of Vienna and one whom for thy calling was not inferiour to any howe hard hath Fortune dealt with thée to take thy life from thée in the best of thy yéeres and what meant the Sisters to spyn thy thréed no longer when the increase of thy body should augment the name of thy Progeny and when thy chyldren should longer haue stayed the name of thy house Behold how the young men lament and sée how these Maydens wayle and weepe because no chyldren are discended from thée and in that thou neuer knewest the nuptiall Rites Then looking to one side and afterward round about her at last she espied Phemocles and sawe how he stoode wéeping then speaking more earnestly then before and vsing her wordes more feruently behold said she thy beloued Phemocles and looke how he lamenteth thy losse take thy farewell of him then depart so soone as it lyketh thée behold him I say ready to goe into the graue with thée and would be content to accompany thy soule And with these wordes the Coffin sodainly opened and he came running foorth and imbraced him so harde as he had done before and then he began to make a discourse But with those imbracinges Phemocles awaked and had nothing betwéene his armes but the post of the Ship then felt he the warme teares on his chéekes and began to looke on him selfe musing at the first whether it were true or that he was beguiled with his fancie but séeing it to be but a dreame and a fléeing shaddow he erected him selfe on his stalking legges stoode leaning ouer the Shyps side but this dreame coulde not out of his remembraunce nor these thoughts passe from before his face The winde was so prosperous and blew so good a gale that they quicklie arryued at Vienna and came to the desired Hauen where he was gladly receyued of his fréendes and curteously entertayned of his Father who demaunded the cause that he looked so yll and by what meanes he had lost his good coullour Who aunswered that the nature of the Countrey had altred his face and the contrary dyet lost him his coullour Then his Father questioned with him of the estate of the Countrey and of the Kinges Army the goodly Townes which he had séene and the fertilitie of the Countrey who aunswered so directly and made so prestrict replyes as his Father perceyued he had not loytred nor spent his time idlely Not long after his Father was moued to frame a iorney to Cullen and Phemocles must make vp the messe not onely to sée the Countrey but also to renew acquaintaunce with some of his fréendes which he had not séene long before where he purposed to spend the Summer and to make his returne towardes Winter But before he went he made a feast to his fréendes and inuited his neyghbours to a bancquet which he spéedily performed and the day following he tooke his iorney There were certayne of his fréendes accompanied him in this iorney and other Merchauntes who had businesse to Cullen Phemocles sawe at the feast amongst the other good company that were there a Gentlewoman the most fayrest as he thought that euer he sawe in his lyfe and so beautifull as he had not séene the lyke before yet at that time he not so much marked her as he after in the time of his trauayle wore her in his imagination he had not any conference with her nor moued her so much as with one question but in the way he could not put her out of his minde nor banish her out of his remembraunce Falling in talke with one of his Kinsmen and reasoning with him of sundry matters he asked him some questions of their curteous company and so of such a Gentlewoman Who aunswered that she was their neyghbours chylde and her fréendes very hon●st and of good calling With this report he set Phemocles in the myre vp to the eares and in Loue to the verie crowne of his heade He was before but touched but nowe infected before his loue lay smothering lyke wet strawe but nowe it burned so bright as a bauen who still imagined that time would feare away these fancies and the distaunce of his iourney put her out of his minde but he blew the coales and kindled the fire him selfe and thinking by lyttle and so more to put out that blaze he encreased the flame that it burnt out for alwayes when they came to their Innes and alighted at their resting places he went to his solitary Chamber and vsed no other place of solace musing on his malicious Fortune and blaming his aduerse happe that first he was depriued of his faithfull fréend and nowe had séene her for whome he was thus sorrowfull alwaies imagining that had he but spoken he had bene sufficiently satisfied and had he but moued the matter his desire had bene the lesse He neuer could rest these thoughts so troubled him nor neuer stayed any where but so he was assayled After this long trauayle they arriued at Cullen where they spent some dayes in viewing the Towne and afterwardes departed to the ende of their iorney which was about fiftéene leagues farther or a lyttle more Where at their arriuall they were very well entertayned Phemocles could not sufficiently recreate him selfe with all the fine daynties they had nor well be content with the greatnesse of their cheare for that dainty dysh was farre off which he fed on and that pleasaunt mor●ell some thing out of his reach Thus houered he like a Hauke betwéene Heauen Earth neuer so high as the one nor at any tyme so lowe as the other or lyke to the sheaues in time of Haruest tumbled vp downe with a whirle winde neuer stay at one place but are remoued still to an other or as the leaues that fall from the Trees are caried first into one corner and then remoued into an other In lyke manner ●litted the fancie of Phemocles and so wandred his minde about

that my face will infecte thée or Medusaes head that thou wilt die with looking on me hadst thou yet come thy sel●e thou mightest haue spedde the better or spoken in thy owne person thy tale the likelier to bin heard but Paper will not blush and Incke doth bewray yet is not ashamed if thou be ashamed to take leaue I will be ashamed to entertaine thée at thy returne Héere was hote loue soone colde what faire wordes and what froward workes what swéete lippes and what soure sauce woon with an Egge and lost with an Apple no sooner ripe but readie to rotte no sooner blowen but blasted no sooner sprouted but bitten with the frost hir Prayers were pitifull hir sighes and sobbes as though they would haue pierced the hard flint hir words wounded the heart that heard them and hir lamēting mollified the minds of those that were within hir hearing héere were Crocodili lothrinae and déepe dissembling she wh● earst would downe into Hell to pleasure his person will not now kneele downe vnto Heauen to craue one little petition but resolued hir selfe neuer to talke with him or to come in that place where he was present yet to worke his mischife or to séeke some reuenge she imagined would but crake hir credit and be a blotte to hir good name therefore she was content to let him alone but for euer to giue him the Basalos Manos If Fidelia were thus bereft of reason and almost mad with melancholy Henricus was as sorowfull for his Nephew but that he hoped his safe returne and fedde his mind that he would come hastily home again his Unckle therefore furnishing him with money and furniture euerie thing necessarie and a man to waite on him betoke him to the preseruation of the Gods and to the mercie of the waters Now is Narbonus on Shipboorde and at the mercie of the waues where his antient cogitations assayled him with a fresh supply and troubled him so bitterly as hée thought hee should neuer see Spayne nor any part therof hee imagined howe lamentably Fidelia would take his departure and how sorowfull shée would be for that iourney now how shee wept and then how shee wailed now how shee sighed and then how shee sobbed now how pittifully shee would bewayle his goinge and how happely hee should be welcomed home then thought he perhaps shée may bee lightly disposed and wantonly giuen for she was soone woon and easilie entreated and as quickly hee may bee lost and as soone forgone shée was easily caught and as quickly may shee bee carued from mee now I am gone out of her company and departed from her sight is it not likely that shée will retaine some other and like of one that shall tarry at home more worthy perhaps then my selfe whose calling is greater th●n mine more worthy nay perhaps more wealthy for mine shée is by right though some other haue her by rigour and I wan her with loue though some other wed her by lawe I had her by inheritance but some other may take possession in my absence But Fidelia is faire so is shee faithful shée is fréendly so is shée fauourable shée is amiable so is shée loyall shée is honest so is shée iuste As shée hath promised so will shee perfourme shée gaue mee her hande why then should not I retaine her hart But thou foole that braggest before the victory and reioysest before the goale bée thine thou thinkest thou hast the Apple and hast but the leafe shée soone liked of mée is shée not the likelier to loue some other did I quickly win her and may not some other spéedily wed her did she not quickly loue mée will not some other as speedily lust after her and then because hee loueth will she lust and because hee wooeth will shee wed any but my selfe because hee burneth in desire will not shee driue him in disdayne and because hee fixeth his fancy in her feature will shee therfore giue graunt that hee shall enioy his pleasure no no vnder so faire a face cannot lodge so filthy a fact and vnder so true a tongue cannot be hid pernicious poyson in so beautiful a body cannot bee any filthy infection and so straight a hand must haue as right a hart For is it not common by probability and see we not daily the tryall that the fairer personage the finer conditions and the more deformed in body the more defiled in deedes Fidelia is mine and shal not bee any others and if my body cannot waite on her my soule shall fulfill the vttermost of my imaginations Drowned amidst these contrary imaginations sayling in the hart of these cogitations now praising then dispraising now louinge then loathinge now laughinge then lamenting now wishinge then waylinge now longing for life then desiringe death the boysterous windes began to blow and the bitter blastes troubled their totteringe Shippe the wallowinge waues tumbled about the sides of the Boate and the Billowes beate harde on her sides which tottered on this side and then tumbled that way to sea warde wherwith Narbonus who was neuer at the Sea before nor had at any time felt the force of the waters grew so sicke and so troubled with the water as hee was without hope euer to come on shoare more neuer thought to behold the faire face of Fidelia againe where let him wallow amongst the waues and trye his fortune with the waters PHemocles who had spente almost a yeare in Naples thought the time longe profited so well as hee would desire gained his tongue perfectly wherfore he wrote to his Father that his charges was great and that time was yll spent now hee had gained that hée went for and obtained his purpose to the full to which his reasonable request and willinge demaund his Father condiscended graunted his returne procuring him therfore Horses and other thinges necessary hee spéedily willed him to hasten his tedious trauaile and to come so quickly as hée could but willed him to take easie iourneyes by the way and not to toyle him selfe with rydinge but might if hee would see the Countrey by the way and come through all the Townes that hee thought any thinge worthy the remembraunce there to bee séene Phemocles after the receiuinge of his letters and the certifiyng from his Father tooke leaue of his good companions and betooke him to his Horse where by the way his minde was mooued with many matters and troubled with former motions he remembred the courteous crue that accompanied him in Naples and the great courtesie hee receiued at their handes their passing pleasures and their boasting in brauery their sumptuousnes of apparrell and the lauishnes of their Purses their pleasaunt sportes and their excellent exercises then their gallant Instrumentes and their good musicke the congregation of their Curtizans the fellowship of their faire Dames their Iewels and their Ringes their Ruffes and their Robes their Lawnes and their loose attires their nicenes in goinge
