came to the head or sping of a gallant Christall Fountaine which was vnder certaine myrtle trées and there they alighted and let their horses taste of the water of that swéet and cléere spring and the gréen grasse that was there Then did their Pages bring forth such victuall as they brought from the doubtfull Castle making on the gréene grasse a more daintie Table than they had in Grecia and they passed Dinner with as great content if that Meridian had not disturbed it with the remembrance of the losse of his wife although he was somwhat eased with the confidence in Brandafidell and they all no lesse reioyced at the swéet musike which the birds made in the shadow than of that which they were wont to haue in the Royall Pallaces but the one and the other they did leaue for to heare a delicate voice which at the sound of a Harpe they did heare not far off and considering what it should be they heard that it began with a prosound sygh in this sort Though I be scornd yet will I not disdaine But bend my thoughts faire beauty to adore What though she smile when I sigh and complaine It is I know to try my faith the more For she is faire and fairenes is regarded And I am firme firme loue will be rewarded Suppose I loue and languish to my end And she my plaints my sighes my prayers dispise O t is enough when Fates for me doe send If she vouchsafe to close my dying eyes Which if she doe and chance to drop a teare From life to death that balme will me vpreare With an other sygh no lesse than the first did the wofull voice conclude which gaue occasion to the frée Troyan to arise and taking his shield he desired them to tarie for that hee would know who hee was that with so great griefe did publish his sorrow and went directly thether whereas the voice was and vnder a high and great pine trée he saw lying along a knight armed in armor all plated siluer like ful of gréen Roses without his helm which lay by him and a shield of the colour of his armor in the middest of the field in place of the flower was this Posie Nor frownes nor scornes preuaile Resolued loue to quaile The knight was very yong one of the fairest that euer he saw his eyes were swollen with wéeping The Troyan had great desire to know who he should be but stayed for that he saw he would return to his doleful song in this manner Let heauen and earth let Gods and men conspire To adde more griefe vnto my greeued minde So my faire Saint doe know my true desire I haue enough content therein I finde Loues bonds are heauen dull freedome is a hell Come all worlds woe yet loue can make it well This louing Youth intended onely to make the ayre pertaker of his gréefe so turning himself vpon the gréen grasse he said Oh Loue why in the beginning of my ●ēder yeres hast thou made me place my felicitie in a person that hates mée Ah swéete Mistres I doo acknowledge your desert and giue my gréefe to witnes it yet if I may say it without offence as you are rare in beautie so I am a Phoenix in loue Oh that it pleased the heauens I might shew you my louing heart there should you sée how faith sustaineth the same against the extremitie of all your crueltie This afflicted Youth could procéed no further for that he was disturbed by the Troyan who desirous to know what he was in this sort saluted him I would fain faire Knight know what hath brought you into this estate if you stand in néed of my person I will imploy it in your helpe I néed not your companie said this disturbed Louer much lesse your helpe depart I pray you for your presence doth me wrong Thou art vncurteous answered the Kinsman of Hector so to reply vnto my Knightly offer Nay then I perceiue said the Youth you are ignorant what pleasure solitarines bringeth to the passionated Louer I answered the Troyan and hope euer to be ignorant of such pleasing sorrow O heauens how hast thou liued said the Youth art not amorous Now God defend me said Oristides from that madnes O generous thoughts of mine replied the Youth is it possible that Rosabel should liue and heare Loue slandered tarrie thou false Knight for with thy blood I trust to write vpon these trées the glorie of them that be Louers And therewith like a viper trodden on he arose vp to lace on his helme sodainly cast a thrust at y e Troian that hee made him retire backe thrée or foure paces almost past memorie Ere hee recouered the Youth strooke him so on the Uisor that hee made him sée starres in his darke helme and doubled another vpō his shoulder that shrewdly pained him By this the Troyan did plainly sée that the Knight with whom hée dealt was aswell Mars his sonne as Cupids seruant and therefore rowsing himselfe he smit him such a blow vpon the shield that he made him put one knée vpon the ground The Youth was cunning and at the discharge of y e blow hurt the Troyan so on the legs that his red blood distained the gréene meadow With excéeding furie tooke Oristides his sword in both his hands and doubled two such extreame blowes that the young Knight knew not where he was but quickly recouering himselfe he retourned a double paiment A thousand thoughts came vnto the Troian in imagining who this valiant Youth might bée yet so he dealt with him that he made him sweat drops of blood At the noyse of this rigorous battell came the two Princes at which instant the Youth had feld the Troyan to the ground whence quickly recouering and with his sword seeking to reuenge the Princes stept betwéene them saying Part Knights it is not iust to permit this battell to come to an end without knowing the cause It is sayd the Youth because this Knight counteth a Louers life vnhappie which occasion is not so small but if I liue with his life he shall answere it Sir Knight said Meridian let not this flight quarrell hinder our important busines the matter being no more but you thinke Loues bondage swéet and he in libertie findes his content But that you shall perceiue doubt of his ablenes is no cause of this I will warrant that within these ten dayes either here or where els soeuer you will appoint this Knight shall ende the battell I am content aunswered the yong Knight for that your gentle disposition doth more binde mee than this Knights arrogancie therefore let the battell be here where onely accompanied with my solitarie thoughts I will attend you Stand aside said the valiant Troyan in cases that concerne my owne honour I am more bound than to wait on strangers therefore there is no reason to disturbe vs till the battell be ended It cannot be said Rosicleer

Those that were present did verie much extoll the fortitude of the pagan in that he could so long indure against the Prince for that they knewe by experience how farre the strength of his armes extended And the Prince vnto himselfe sought by what meanes he might ouercome hys Enemie without killing him for that he séemed to be one of the most valiantest that euer he prooued and still hee thought that he excéeded the dexteritie of the mighty Gran Campeon that was slaine in the Warres of Greece by the hand of the said Prince Likewise he remembred the manie and great affaires hee had to doo in other Partes but that which gréeued him most was that so long time he had not heard of his beloued Oliuia The which thought kindled in him such cholar that like vnto lightening hee went to the Pagan first demaunding whether he would yéeld himselfe for ouercome and leaue the Battell in the state it was But this blasphemous King with a voyce that feared them all said Uile creature is it possible that the Gods will consent being armed in the fielde so poore a Knight as thou for pure sorrow and gréefe should desire to leaue off the battell and yet wish me to yéeld as ouercome I do now perceiue that all your deities are vile and that your power is but small that one alone Knight dare attempt to doe this Come downe you théeues from those celestial houses that you haue stolen and vsurped and I will giue you to vnderstand that I am Fangomadan And therwith raging like a Tiger hee assalted that warlike Prince and gaue him such a violent blow vpon his helme that he made him stoope and put his handes to the grounde and doubling the same he stroke him ouerthwart that it descended on his left shoulder which the Prince felt verie gréeuous séeing himselfe so intreated considering withall that the force of his aduersarie was increased he beganne to hammer blowes on him in such sorte that hee made him séeme all bathed in bloud puffing and blowing like a bayted bull The Pagan would haue giuen him a down right blow purposing therewith to conclude the battle But the Prince beeing warned by that which before had passed made shewe as though hee woulde abide it yet when it did descend with all the lightnes in the world he auoided and made him strike vppon the stones so furiouslie that when the swoorde fell it broke off a great péece This louer of Oliuia was not iole on so good occasion but stroke the Giant such a blow and with such good order on his shoulder that he did not onely disarme the place but also made therein a great wound out of which began to flowe a great quantitie of blacke bloud And this victorious Gréeke withdrew himself when he saw the wound he had giuen him It cannot be imagined what great anger possessed the Giant for like vnto a wounded Lyon although somewhat wearie hee assalted Rosicleer who had no care to strike him but to delay him with his lightnes for that he knew well it would shortly tyre him And so vsing his wonted dexterity he onely auoided the blowes of his enimy Those that were beholders hereof did well perceiue the intention of this baptised knight but yet he could not still so auoide it but that the giant seazed on him such a blowe that he made him somewhat to loose his memorie and to voide bloud out at his mouth the which Rosicleer tooke to be perilous and let flie thrée or foure blowes on high to amaze his contrary and therewith thrust at him with his sword in such sort that hee hit him on the thigh and the point passed to the bone The Moore did not thinke it to be great till such time as assaying to follow him he fell-downe vpon his handes but he was not so soone downe as with the quicknesse of his thought he was a foote againe florishing with his vnmeasurable sword This valiant brother to the Knight of the sunne could very well haue ouercome him in thus detaining him but he sodainely conceaued it to bee cowardise and therefore determined to put the state of the battell in one blow and as the giant was striking at him a mighty stroke he entered within him thinking to ouerthrow him but he found him like a rocke therefore being together he gaue place to the Moore to benefit himselfe of time and occasion But the giant leauing his greate fauchion seazed on the Prince with his heauie armes rescused him in such sort that it séemed he would breake all his members so that they must needs returne againe to a perilous wrastling in so much that with the heate of the battell and with wearinesse they fell both on the grounde and inforcing one to get the other vnder they both lacked breath and the giant bloud through which faintnesse they both sounded the vnhappy giant neuer againe reuiuing And this is alwaies to be looked for of those who liued as hée did making his owne content a God and worshipping his onely pleasure All that were aboue woulde haue descended to them but there was none that could forsake the place where as they were For that incontinent the heauen was couered with a thicke and blacke cloude with such thundrings and lightnings that it seemed that all the firmament would fall to the earth in the which was hearde the bleating of beastes and other heauy groanes in the saide courte for the space of one houre till such time as the storme was past and the heauens became cleare as they were before Nowe looking for the warriours they onely sawe the Prince as one amazed new come to himselfe and as though his aduersary had béen before him he gaue assault till such time as he was wholy in his remembrance and saw not the giant But that which grieued him most was that he lacked his good sword which he woon with so deare experience as was said in the first booke And looking about for the giant he sawe on the one side of the court a sumptuous edifice like to a sepulcher which was sustained with foure deformed Lyons made of alablaster the Sepulcher it selfe was all of Christall so cleare that all might be very well séene which was within and marking it well he knewe that it was the bodies of the giants and their mother who laie as though they had beene aliue with their eies open and euery one a very long scrole or writing in their handes which declared the cause of their deathes but that which made the inuincible Prince Rosicleer most to maruell was to sée his good sword sent from Quéene Iulia smitten quite through one of the foure pillers that sustayned the couering of the sepulcher which piller séemed to be of very fine Iaspar stone And hauing desire with great ioy to pull it out hee no sooner layd hand on it but there came foorth so great a flame that it séemed to haue burned him till such time

as he let it goe againe and then the griefe went away and he saw hanging at it a parchment wherein was written letters of bloud which he could not stand to read for that they did all descend and receiued him and asked him how hee did féele himselfe But the excellent and fayre Infant with a gallant and soueraigne behauiour said If you should haue hoped worthie Prince for my helpe as you in descending to the battell told me I feare me the Fight had béen more dangerous but thanks be to the powers of heauen it was concluded by your owne excellent force Nay rather Madame said Rosicleer next to the heauens haue your distresse and beauty praise for this vnexpected Uictorie for by them was powerfull abilitie added to my weake strength to defend the one and reléeue the other Let vs leaue this talke said Floralinda and goe we to see the sepulcher for I beléeue you haue lost something therein for that it séemeth the fire doth defend it Then said the Knight of Cupide were the losse verie much I should thinke it paide hauing finished this aduenture for the liberty of the Prince your spouse although it was not little gréefe that my swoord should bee taken away Such déedes haue you done therewith saide the Ladie that I meruaile they did not take away your life although I beléeue to sée you accompanied with so manie they durst not They all laughed at that the Infant had said yet they did gréeue at heart for the losse of the Princes Sword And so they went with a great desire to sée where it was and beheld a maruellous Aduenture for they saw in the Piller fiue pommells of swords euery one with his scroll hanging thereat which declared whose it was The swordes being one aboue the other on the highest part was that of the Prince Rosicleer whose scrole was written in this maner This was the sword of the Prince of Constantinople Rosicleer the which he lost at the defended Iland putting to death with it Fangomadan and his sons and shall here remaine till such time as the braue Tyger with the vntamed Lyones doth ouercome the guarders keepers of my Castell getting without armes or order of knighthoode the entrie thereof for himselfe the two swords neerest swearing to reuenge the death of the vnhappy king They remained all amazed to sée the boldnesse of the writing and reading downe lower the second was thus None be so hardy or bold with order of knighthood or being a man to touch the sword of the worthy Camilla for that he shall remaine in perpetuall prison till such time as the rigorous Lyones doth take him out swearing in the handes of the furious Tyger the reuengement They were much more amazed at the second writing in séeing that alone a woman and without armes was granted the sword Whereon sodaine passions came vnto ●he faire infant Floralinda for her lost infants doubting whether they spoke of them or not But dissembling her griefe they read the third which said The sword of the famous Telarmonio shal be graunted vnto none till such time as the hid and vnknowne Basiliske doth descend from my dwelling place and get the sworde without armes and sweare the like It could not but grieue the Gréeke Prince in seeing that all those must be accompted with the other enemies but animating himselfe he said few armours they haue left me who against me hath sought so many but there shall not lacke other to supply that of the first And for all that they did importune him to take his ease they could not persuade him but to read on the other scroles which said VVhen the swift leopard goeth foorth of my delightful dwelling and winneth the key of my Castell then shal be graunted him the sworde of Astrusia King of the Medes swearing in the clawes of the Ownce to procure my reuengement It séemeth vnto me said the warlike Troian that according as the wise man doth shewe there remaineth yet more warres for vs to end then those that are past for that he putteth fiue for one alone offender It is not to be marueiled at said Meridian that when one alone is able to offend and defend himselfe the aduersary séeketh many to assault him but there shall not lacke other two to shut vp the number with vs and to count vs so many as our enemies It séemeth that me alone he doth threaten said Rosicleer and therfore I wil sée the fift sword that shal smite me and reading it said VVhen that the sword of the famous and feared Milon shal come into the hands of the hid youth who in my dwelling was nourished with the furious ownce she not knowing therof then shall rest the great wise man Gelasio Lord of the couered Iland hauing for certaine the reuengement of his beloued sister and friends that suffered by the handes of the cruell greeke And thou worthy youth doe not forget to respect the couetous ownce although it be to thy cost for it will be the more for thy glory They coulde not vnderstand any more what the writings did signifie And so with great griefe vnto y e Prince for his good sword they departed Although he was cōforted to sée that it should come to the hands of one that should pull it out or els die in change thereof All were ioyfull to sée the aduenture ended they set at liberty yet y e wounds of the Prince was a griefe vnto the faire Floralinda who cured them iointly with her spouse with whom he passed the time as you shall heare in the second Chapter The Prince Rosicleer was healed of his wounds and gaue liberty to Brandafidell the sonne of Fangomadan Floralinda declared to her spouse the losse of her sons they all returned towards Greece Chap. 2. WIth zealous care the faire Princes of Macedonia did cure the wounded gréeke and comforted the weakenesse of her beloued spouse with her presence and would not absent her selfe til she saw him whole and sound She greatly reioyced to sée the knight of Cupide vnto whom that she might shew her selfe thankefull she cured him with her owne hands and neuer would consent that any other should do it for all his often modest desires to the contrary Sometimes they would al thrée descend and sée that faire castell and passe away the time in the fresh gardens that were there and often behold the superbious edifice and curious sepulcher which the pagan had It so fell out that one day he being altogether recouered of strength the prince Meridian calling vnto him his spouse the Troian Oristides caried them to the chamber of the Prince who was then vp and walked although not out of his chamber for that he was somewhat leane He seeing them comming receaued them with that gallant grace with the which aboue all the rest he was indewed and said vnto the faire Prince It well appeareth worthy Lady that you take liking not to come very often

to faire Ladies demaunded of them in more particuler and their description was such a bait that it wholy concluded to subiect this passionated yong Prince who onely by hearing did aff●ct her in such sort that he did neither sleepe nor eate without imagination of his Lady Till such time as his passion increasing and his sences fayling he was brought very lowe insomuch that for his comfort they caused a painter an excellent workman to offer himselfe that he would draw her counterfeit who gaue him great thankes and estéemed it as was reason Into France came the iudiciall workeman no whit inferiour to Apelles and tooke the counterfeit of the Lady with such art and curiosity as it seemed the heauens had communicated their life giuing power vnto his working hand And forthwith he returned vnto his Lord who iudged the smal moment of his tarying to be many yeres till such time as he did sée the faire face of the Princesse which was a newe inticement to his prepared heart in such sort that what he thought would be a lightning or ease vnto him fell out to be the increasing of his griefe and in such sort the amorous passion did lay hold on him that he left Alexandria pretending to go sée an vncle of his With whose counsell and determination they departed in the habite of merchants and came into Paris to the feastes that were made for the entertainement of the prince The iewels they brought was the occasion that the Princesse and her Damsels sent for him to buy them and made the price at their pleasures without contradiction of this merchant who without séeing her at the first report did yeeld her his hart therfore he regarded not his precious iems It was a thing worthy to be noted to sée what passed about the buying of his iewels and I as an eie witnes can scarce beleeue it although I saw it To conclude he with the price of his iewels did sée at his pleasure the owner of his frée will remaining there with great content glad that he employed his thought in such a place counting it a rewarde sufficient for all his wealth In briefe he departed from thence very heauily and to remedy his griefe he had the courage to put in practise such a thing which to thinke vpon I am af●aid much more affrighted when I sawe it done And this it was he hauing a confidence in his beauty wherwith indéede he was much indewed put himselfe in womans apparel and séemed therein as beauteous gallant as our Princesse Oh how many times worthy knight did I confer and was conuersant with him in that fained habite taking such content when he entertained vs with his singing and playing as was sufficient to bring him to be the most priuate Damsell that attended our Princesse ouer all those that waighted in the court he neuer shewing any suspition that should offend the honour of Grisalinda Being in this content it fortuned there came to the court the fearefull Partomio King of little Brittaine a young knight and the most valiant that is to be found in all these parts who when he came made shewe of his great valour The King who knew how to entertaine and honour such did lodge him in the pallace which was the occasion he often frequented to my Lady and mistresse and conferred with her publikely but neuer could haue opportunity in secret To be short he grewe amorous of her with such feruency that he yéelded himselfe to serue her although the v●rtuous Lady did giue him to vnderstand by neglecting his seruices that he should not weary nor trouble himselfe that it was labour lost he not being such a one as shee could affect seeing his huge greatnesse for although he was not a giant he was very little lesse Yet notwithstanding this blinded youth alone to himselfe became so passionate that although we did not know the occasion yet we did sée the effect that wrought in him for he begun to loose his beauty and to go continually in habiliments of sorrow You may imagine sir Knight if you haue euer loued in what estate this amorous young Prince was and so weake he grew that he kept his chamber and among other was in curtesie visited of our most gentle princ●sse At whose entraunce blood retyring into his pale chéekes from his reuiuing heart he tooke her aside vnto a window besought her to sit downe and by her sight to giue ease vnto his sorrow The modest Ladie with bashfulnesse graunted his request and desired him to be briefe Who preparing the passage for few woords with a million of broken sighes confusedly deliuered his affections and abruptly desired her fauour begging with a piteous looke a kinde reply To this vnlookt for request the princesse graciously answered because she would not adde sorrow to his gréefe willing him that he should not despaire though yet shee were able to giue him no signe of hope her minde being subiect to no passion but v●terly vnacquainted with the thought of loue So taking her leaue shee felt Partomio in some hope insomuch that he soone recouered his wonted strength But the princesse hating his importunitie determined while he remained in the Court no more to come publikely abroad but kept her chamber and when Partomio offered to sée her she would in no case be visited For which he conceaued such hate against the Princesse that without any respect of knighthood or his ancient royal parentage trusting in his owne force and strength he came to accuse our Princesse of treason and and disloyalty and that she had little respect to her honesty and honour wherunto she was bound The King of force must giue eare vnto it for that hee was a King y t made the accusation When we vnderstood the manner thereof it is not bee beléeued what great lamentation we all made for that it is a law in the Kingdome of France that if the Woman accused of vnchastitie within thirtie dayes bringeth not one or moe which will defend her honour shee shall at that time bee consumed in fire I will not for auoyding my owne gréefe detaine my selfe in telling you how her Parents did take it but it séemed that all the Pallace was on fire by reason of y e great lamentation which was made for that fiftéene daies were past and there was none so hardie as to appeare for her they so much feared that vnreasonable Knight Till such time as the masked Alexandrian did talke with his Lady before he went about to accomplish the same I who knew the tract of them for that my Mistresse had made me acquainted with his secret loue for to her he had discouered himselfe heard her answere which was to disswade him from that danger but no request could perswade him to leaue off that difficult aduenture replying vnto her Now Ladie and Mistres shall you liue in securitie of my honourable and vnspotted affection for that it constraineth me boldly to

came thether the Page of the Dacian with his French Damsell who receiued great contentment in beholding the valour of her Knight and reioyced that shee carried in her companie so good a warrant in the right of her Mistres Grisalinda The new and valiant Louer Torismundo being at libertie came vnto the Chariot whereas their Pages had fréeed all that were therein of their vngentle bands and pulling off his helme his face being by reason of the heat somewhat inflamed hee showed himselfe to be one of the fairest knights that was to be found and verie yong for as before it was said his beard did not yet appeare Comming to the Chariot hee knéeled downe before the Ladie saying Pardon faire Ladie my delay in gréeting you for I could do no more than was in my power the offence arises not from want of good will vouchsafe therefore to receiue this small seruice of him that is readie to put his life in anie aduenture that redoundeth to your content and to accompt it as his owne The Ladie did well vnderstand the affection wherewith he spoke it but being restrained by the vnseperable yoake of marriage with the Prince of Geneua who was present she answered The heauens reward you worthy knight one of the most valiant you are that euer I haue séene what you haue done for my husband and mee heauen will requite It is sufficient ioy to vs that you haue shewed your selfe so valiant that we may thankfully attribute the reward only to your worthines as a thing admirable vnto vs. It cannot be imagined what gréef this passioned youth receiued in séeing his remedie impossible whereby hee perfectly vnderstood the true sayings of the wise man that he should sée himself in excessiue troubles accounting this at this present to be one of the greatest aduersities that might chance him yet notwithstanding because he would not giue them knowledge thereof he dissembled his griefe and answered It were vnequall glory vnto me gallant Lady to attribute vnto my Arme that which with so great reason is dewe to this stout warrior vnto whome with greater right you ought to giue the thankes for your ayde and succour as vnto one of the mightiest Knightes that euer bore armor And at this instant the Dacian Prince was with them but with his helme on because they should not know him for that it séemed vnto him he had before séene the Prince spouse to the faire Dutches of Sauoy called Orosia and greatly maruelled at the beauty and worthinesse of the Prince of Spaine So after there had passed many reasons with those Ladies they did importune him much for to discouer himselfe which he refused to doe for that he said he had giuen his word vnto the Damsell not for to disarme himselfe neither to enter into any publique enterveiw with any till such time as he had finished an aduenture whereon he then went Without impeach of this promise Sir knight said the faire Dutches I hope it will not bee out of your way to beare vs company vnto the citty of Paris Then aunswered Don Heleno I doe sweare vnto your beautie worthy Ladie that it is not in my power for I haue put my libertie into the handes of this Damsell that commeth with me Wel séeing it is so answered the Prince of Geneua wee shall receiue great content if that at your comming to Paris wee may chaunce to sée you that in some parte wea may gratifie the greate good which you haue done for vs which will be ioyfull vnto vs all The like was promised by the worthie Torismundo who was greatly affectioned to the gentle disposition of the Dacian and would haue remained with him to haue knowen who he was Afterwards inquiring of one of the Prisoners who his Lord should bée He said that it was the furious Tilmon Sonne vnto the mightie Brandafuriel whome Clauerindo the Prince of France slew and left this but a verie yong Youth but when hee grew great and bigge in yeares he receaued the order of knighthood and became the most hardiest knight in all that Countrey liuing in such valiant sort that he was estéemed for a more worthy man than his father Which Tilmon purposing to be reuenged for his Fathers death came from the Towred Iland whereof he was Lord and brought those Giants in his companie the better at his ease to séeke reuengement And after we had disimbarked our selues on shoare wee went through the Countrey in secret till yesterdaye wee met with this Chariot which was going towards Paris and vnderstanding the gréefe that the king would receiue for the imprisonment of his Nephewes as both the prince of Geneua and his Wife were hee did apprehend them to procure some occasion through sorrow to kil y e French king I giue great thankes vnto God and vnto these worthie knights said the faire Orosia that your euill pretence took no effect So for that it waxed late they tooke their leaue of the knights and iournied towards Paris where they arriued the next day and were receiued with great ioye and content by the king vnto whom they declared what had happened vnto them by the way and how they were set at libertie by two alone knightes whereat the king greatly meruailed and could not imagine who they shuld be of so great power and strength that alone durst giue battell vnto so manie together and against such deformed Giants He was somwhat comforted to sée his welbeloued Neuewes yet not in such sort but that he felt in his soule the griefe concerning his daughter which in conclusion he was constrayned to make the Dukes pertakers thereof who although it were a griefe vnto them as it was reason yet they studyed to dissemble it and to comforte their Unkle in all that was possible and determined that the Prince of Geneua should goe disguised and séeke those valiant Knights and to giue them vnderstanding of all that passed that they might frustrate that greate euill which was raysed against the Infant Grisalinda The which Knightes after they were departed from the Chariot entred into the thicke grouie Countrey till they came vnto a fayre Fountaine whereas they lighted and the Spaniard cast his armes vpon the Prince said Sir Knight showe not me so much iniurye as you did vnto that precious Lady in not declaring to me your name for in doing so I shall remaine without gratifying of the ayde and succour you did vnto me Worthye Knight aunswered the discréete Dacian I should be very ill aduised if I should not acknowledge the great good which is gotten in making him pertaker of my thoughts that is of such desert and so desirous and if I did vse my strength it was not for that you were in necessitie therof but the affection which I receiued did constrain me to ioyne with the breuitie of the time that I might if it were not a griefe vnto you demaund what you were and likwise aduertise you of the most secret things
