old Knight travelleth taking pains to please you she cannot do it for a greater Prince nor one that more deserveth it and so hath she given mée in charge to shew you which having done I am presently to return back again unto her Wherefore my Lord having fulfilled her commandment it may please you to give mée leave I am well content said the Emperor My friend said the Empresse you shall commend mée heartily unto her and shall give her certain small presents which I will send her and to her two kinswomen Then she commanded a little coffer of Cedar to be brought full of exquisite things which the old Knight having received and his leave taken both of the Emperor and all the rest he returned the same way he came leaving the Court very joyful and contented with the good news he had delivered them kéeping on his way as best pleased him And now let us sée in the mean time what Sergil being embarked for England on message to King Amadis doth to whom Wind and Fortune was so prosperous that having sailed the Italian Seas and Ports of Spain passed the straights entring into the Ocean Seas sailed so well that within two daies after he departed he arrived at Winsore where he met with Angerote de Stravanx whom he knew very well of whom he asked where King Amadis lay for that séing the town so bare of Gentlemen and Knights he thought that the King had not as then béen lodged there Angerot bade him welcome and therewith lead him unto the Court to the Kings presence of whom being welcomed hée said In Gods name Sergil what is the cause you do return so soon again from Constantinople How doth my Son My Lord said Sergil and it like your Grace your Son is well and in good health commending him unto you and therewith kissing the Letter he presented it unto him Which the King having read said It certifieth us of some news at hand Such news and it like your Grace answered Sergil were good to be certified unto all your councel Then the King commanded to send for King Arban of North Wales Listoran de la tour Blanch Grindolan Brother unto Angerote Saquilles his Nephew Lazadin Lescrimeur the Earl Durdalin and divers other before the which assembly Sergil turning himself toward the King began to recite what had happened unto them after his departure from Brittain what a great tempest he was in in what danger they were the battel betwéen the Sarazens Ships and theirs the imprisonment of Cosdroel and lastly the determination and pretence of the Pagan Kings moved thereunto by the Children of Arcalaus and others as mischievous as they whereof the Emperor my Master hath thought good to advertise your Grace to the end you may provide for them that you be not taken upon the suddain And to the same end prayeth you to send for all your Captains and Souldiers Friends and Allies together with the Emperor of Rome all which being assembled and your Ports well furnished in Warlike manner he hopeth this great and huge Army of Enemies can nothing at all hurt you but that all will turn unto their own confusion and overthrow And for his part assure your self my Lord he sléepeth not but determineth if they enterprize against him so to receive and entertain them that he hopeth to give them cause never to be so bold again as to visit him in such sort Truly said the King these hell-hounds have still a quarrel against mée yet have they at other times sufficiently found and assayed what I can do But if God will they shall féel once again this voyage what slaughter I can make of them for if they once set foot on land be it in great Brittain or in any other place where I command whatsoever falleth out I will give them battel My Lord said King Arban things done deliberately and by counsel have commonly good successe If they come to visit you as they brag they will time and season will give you means to resist them then as you shall find convenient In the mean time according to the Emperor your Sons counsel you shall if it please you make the matter known unto the Emperor of Rome and the rest of your friends by whom you may be ayded giving order likewise that your Ports be well furnished and all your ships rigged and prepared to set sail when it pleaseth you So will I do answered the King and therefore good cousin I pray you let mée have your counsel therein Séeing it is your will my Lord said Arban that I do it I will take what pains I can therein But who will you send in Embassage unto Rome Marry you my Lord Lazadin said the king taking him by the Arm shall take that charge upon you You have heard what Sergil hath declared unto us from my Sonne the same shall you declare unto the Emperour and that I desire him to have his men in a readinesse promising him that if the cloud falleth in Italy presently to aid him there and that whensoever it falleth here about that he will aid mée in like case as I doubt not but he will My Lord said Lazadin your pleasure shall bee fulfilled And I pray God give mée grace there and in other places to do you any service I may Prepare your self then said the King and take what company you think good with you That done the Counsel brake up every one repairing to his lodging The King and Arban together devising what order were best to bée taken for the Country In the mean time Lazadin having Vessels and men prepared with a prosperous Winde set sail unto Ostie where being arrived he Landed and from thence took his journey unto Rome being there hée presented himself before the Emperor of whom he was first most courteously entertained and then demanded the cause of his repair thither And if it please your Grace answered Lazadin King Amadis my Master recommendeth himself most affectionately unto you and hath written you a Letter wherewith he presented the same unto the Emperor wherein was nothing specified but onely a credit for the Messenger and that he could at large dilate the matter unto him Wherewith the Emperor prayed Lazadin to delare the same which he did from point to point as ye heard before desiring him at the end in his Masters behalf to prepare a puissant Army ready to resist the Pagans power wheresoever they should Land were it in Italy or great Brittain assuring your Grace said he to the Emperor and so hath the King my Master given me in charge to declare unto you that if the cloud fall in your countrey he will aid you with so great a force that you shall know what desire he hath to do you pleasure and if it falleth in his Countries that it will please you to succour him in like manner for that he saith your two forces being united together with your Friends and Allies all the Princes
