through the small knowledge I drew from thence the desire of beholding them came to foment The Divine functions ended the Knight after having augurated to me that day to be happy took me by the hand and led me out of the Temple dismissing the people which did follow him and carried me all alone through a narrow path into the Forrest just where a little Mountain dividing it self into three equal parts did form with natural pleasures the prospect of a delightfull Theater There did issue from its foot a transparent rivolet but so scant at that time of water that it did reveal to the negligence of the eye all the secrets of its bottom There were seen through those fresh streams little fishes to sport themselves among the candid pebles But about the moistned banks did grow as in well ordered knots a hundred varieties of odoriferous Herbs embroidered with a thousand sorts of flowers which opening as it were their breasts to the ruddy morning did emit the aire of so delicate a perfume that it had power to efface in great part from my heart the annoyance which through the past waking and through the dolefulnesse of the things which I saw was there so deeply rooted The backside of the Tripartite hill overspread with Oaks and Pines by nature dispersed and disposed with a negligent art did overshadow some very green Meadows which in the middle of the Forrest haply through the benefit of the neighbouring Brook renouncing to the commerce of the plants did conserve in their pleasant largenesse the roots of the flowers inviolate In one of these the Knight sat down and I placing my self over against him after many sighs in a languishing and sad tone he gave beginning to his Narration after this manner From the first Original which it may be you will not believe I must derive to you most dear guest the dolorous relation of my uncomfortable disadventures and though the mind abhorreth the remembrance of past griefs yet because notwithstanding custom hath converted grief into nature I shall fully make relation of as much as I shall think necessary that you may be able another day to manifest to the World the cruelty of a woman and the dysasters of a Lover abused I was born Philiternus in the famous Citie of Thebes Queen of Boetia of a stock both generous and nearly-allied to the Royal family with replicated bonds of consanguinity and from my birth had given me the name of Arnaldo for thus my father was called himself a Knight no lesse renowned in the Counsels of State then in the matters of War Being grown to boy's estate the puissant King Agenor my Uncle would have me dwell in his Court to be brought up in the noble Company of his sons whence I learnt in a little space the qualities convenient to a Knight of great birth nor did I indure much labour to attain to the highest Dignities of the Court and Kingdom nor was I envied if it be lawfull for me to say it by any having preobliged the affections of all hearts with the affability of my manners with the complacency of my conditions and the profusenesse of my riches I obtained in gift from Heaven a Wit greater then my Fortune Now it befell for my fatal disease that I being with the Court in Thebes there pass'd from this life to a better Osiander a principal Knight and well deserving from the Crown whose obsequies the King himself was pleased to honour with his presence with all the flower of the Nobility of his Kingdom Oh that dolorous Dagger wounded me to the very heart with the mournfull remembrance of that most unfortunate day Among the other friends of the defunct Cavalier which assisted at his Funeral there was a young Lady his daughter which besides her being very beautifull of face and complacential of deportment with so pitifull a dejectednesse did bewail the death of her father that each circumstance in the Ocean of those tears made shipwrack of a heart She had disordered with her tender hands her silver tresses whence one part of them descending on her shoulders in precious Rings did incatenate the mind of the Spectators in stupor of her extream beauty the other but ill retained by her hair-laces ran to bathe themselves in the dolefull floud of sorrow which overran the face ambitious peradventure to inrich with Pearls the nudity of their Gold Thence her amiable face appeared a Sun which arose from the Sea with locks moistened with celestial Dew and even had usurped the property of the rising Sun whil'st that fair face obfuscated by the Clouds of perplexity suffered it self to be seen without offence of the beholders whereas in the noon-tide of cheerfulness there was no eye so firm as to be able to sustain without peril of blindness the reflexion of its splendors As soon as on this prodigious Creature I fix'd my looks I presently felt a fatal shivering to seise my Soul which calling my bloud to the succour of my heart left my face overcast with a mortal paleness And well might it be that he seemed dead from whom one onely look of Lucinda had ravished his Soul Fair Lucinda was she called who was the happy cause of all my deplorable unhappiness I desired really to fly from that perilous sight my mind being desirous to avoid the mortal danger which I foresaw but Pity a chaste companion that never separates from Love recalled me to compassionate the grief of the weeping Damsel by little and little introducing into my mind and impressing in my heart those languishing beauties of which they finally became an Idolater though they be now reduced to ashes the sparks of my love live notwithstanding and shall live perpetually buried in those Cinders That magnificent Funeral being ended and having waited upon the King back to his lodging I incontinent returned to that Temple in which I had left my Soul deposited under the credit of Lucinda's beauty and Love was for my misfortune so courteous that I had an opportunity of incountring her whil'st among the sad troup of her Allies she returned to the forsaken house of her father into which being entred she carried with her and included between those blessed Walls my perplexed spirit whereupon remaining almost an exanimate Carkass I withdrew my self with a slow pace to my house without knowing where I was or whither I went but onely that the privation of my spirit transmigrated into the object beloved made me with reiterated stingings to know that yet I remained without a Soul in the World of the living Being come there I withdrew with the violent companion of my new thoughts from the conversation of my familiars conceiting unexperienced that I was to find in solitude a comfort for my pain but it did the more foment it and I perceived in the end that retirednesse from the commerce of people wrought no other in me than a perplexing multitude of torments
