theÌ„selfes to keepe and defende that none within the Pinnas excepte he would be shot through was able to escape Then retiryng into their skiftes with helpe of the Tide thei approched Landolpho his barke which without any great difficultie in a smalle space thei tooke with all the companie not losyng so muche as one manne And cariyng Landolpho aborde one of their cockes and all within borde his litle Pinnas thei soncke the same and all the Mariners kepte Landolpho sufferyng him not to haue about him any kinde of armure not so muche as an haberion The next daie the winde chaunged and the shippes hoisted vp sailes toward Leuant and all that daie prosperouslie sailed on their voiage But vpon the closyng of the night a storme rose again and separated the twoo shippes one from an other And by force of the winde it chaunced that the Shippe wherein poore Landolpho was strake with greate violence vpon a sande in the Islande of Cephalonia And as one would throwe a glasse against a wall euen so the shippe opened and fill in peces whereby the sorowfull Mariners that stoode aboue the seas beyng couered with gooddes coaffers and planckes of the shippe that swaÌ„me aboue water whiche chaunceth many tymes in suche like accidentes the night beyng darke the billowes goyng high and â—â—â—â—â—â—ble suche as were able to swimme began to take holde of those thinges whiche Fortune gaue vnto theÌ„ Emonges whoÌ„ wretched Landolpho seyng death before his face whiche he so greatlie desired and so many tymes craued the daie before rather then to retourne home in that poore estate was afraied and taught holde of a borde amonges the reste trustyng it might chaunce that God would pardon hym of drownyng and sende hym some refuge for his escape And as he was horsebacke and fletyng vpon a plancke so well as he could driuen here and there with the sea and winde he helde fast the fame till it was daie light whiche when he perceiued he looked aboute hym and sawe nothyng but the cloudes the Seas and a coaffer swimmyng aboue water whiche was driuen so nere hym that it made hym many tymes to feare that it would bee his ouerthrowe And the nerer it came the more he laboured to putte it backe so well as he could with his hande although his force and power was gone But how so euer it chaunced a gale of winde blewe out of the skies and strake the coaffer againste the borde wherevpon Landolpho was who by that meanes driueÌ„ backe was forced to giue ouer the plaÌ„ck and with a billowe was beaten vnder the water and afterwardes remountyng a lofte againe he swamme more through feare then force And seyng the borde caried a farre of from hym fearyng lest he should not bee able to fasten the same again he drewe toward the coafer whiche was nere inough vnto him And laiyng his breast vpon the couer thereof he made it goe so right as he could with his armes And in this maner driueÌ„ by the sea now here now there without eating as hauyng not wherewithall and drinkyng more then he would he continued all that daie and night folowing not knowyng where he was for he sawe nothyng but sea The nexte mornyng either by the will of God or through the windes force LaÌ„dolpho whiche was then transformed into a Sponge holdyng faste with bothe his handes the brimme of the coafer like as we se theÌ„ that feare to bee drouned dooe take holde of the nexte thyng that cometh to hande arriued at the shore af the Isle of Corfu where by fortune a poore woman was scowryng her vessell with Sande and salte water who seyng hym drawe nere and perceiuing in him no forme or fashion of a man was afraied and criyng out ranne backe He not able to speake and se but verie litle could saie nothyng but as the Sea droue hym nere the shore the woman discried the likenes of a coafer and beholdyng the same more aduisedlie sawe at length his armes vpon the same and therewithall his face merueilyng with her self who it should be wherfore moued with compassion she went into the sea a litle waie whiche then was calme and catchyng hym by the heare The pluckte him and the coafer to lande And with muche a doe vnfolded his armes that were about the coafer causyng her maide that was with her to carrie the coafer vpon her bedde And she bare hym to lande like a litle childe whiche dooen she put hym into a hotte house and with warme water by frotting and rubbyng hym his naturall heate and other his senses loste began to come againe into their former course And when he sawe tyme she toke hym out cherishing and comforting him with wines and brothes and so well as she could made him at length to recouer his force in suche wise that he knewe where he was Then the woman deliuered hym his coafer whiche she had saued and hadde hym to seke his aduenture And thus this good wife delte with Landolpho Who litle estemed the coafer but yet he considered that it could not be of so small valour but that it was able to beare his charges for certaine daies But feelyng it light he was cleare voide of hope to haue any succour and relief thereof Neuerthelesse when the good wife was out of the doores he brake open the same to see what was within where he founde many precious Iewelles some bounde together and some lose wherin he had pretie skill And knowyng theÌ„ to be of greate value giuyng thankes to God whiche had not yet forsaken hym was wholie recomforted Howbeit for so muche as in a litle space he had been twise cruellie distressed and tormented by Fortune fearyng the third tyme he thought that it was nedefull for him to take hede how to dispose his thinges in sauftie till he came home to his owne house Wherefore hauing bestowed those precious iewelles in certaine ragges and cloutes so well as he could he saied to the goodwife that he had no neede of the coafer but if she would giue hym a bagge he would bestowe the same vpoÌ„ her Whiche the good wife willinglie did And Landolpho giuyng her so greate thankes as he could for the kindnes whiche he had founde at her handes tooke his leaue and imbarking himself he passed to Branditio and froÌ„ thence froÌ„ place to place till he came to Tranj where finding diuers of the Citie wherein he dwelte that were Drapers he was apparelled of them in a maner of Gods sake to whom he tolde the discourse of all his fortune except the coafer who leÌ„t hym a horse and sent diuers in his companie to bryng hym home to Rauello And when he was in sauftie arriued he thanked God that had brought hym thither where he searched his bougette with more leasure then he did at the firste and founde that he had many stones of so great valoure that selling them at price reasonable for lesse then thei were worthe his substaunce did

corrupt humoure of those that haue a feauer which taking his beginning at the heart disperseth it self incureably through all the other sensible parts of the body whereof this present historie giueth vs amplie to vnderstande being no lesse maruelous than true Those that haue read the auncient histories and Chronicles of Spaine haue sene in diuers places the occasion of the cruell ennimitie which raygned by the space of .xl. yeares betwene the houses of Mendozza and Tolledo families not only right noble and auncient but also most abundant in riches subiectes and seigniories of all the whole realme It happened one day that their armies being redy to ioyne in battaile the Lord Iohn of Mendozza chief of his army a man much commended by al histories had a widowe to his sister a very deuout Lady who after she vnderstode the heauy newes of that battayle falling downe vpon hee knÃ©es prayed God incessauntly that it woulde please him to reconcile the two families together and to make an ende of so many mischiefes And as she vnderstode that they were in the chiefest of the conflict and that thers were a great number slaine on both partes she made a vowe to God that if her brother retorned victorious from the enterprise she would make a voyage to Rome on foote The ouerthrow fell after muche bloudshead vpon them of Tolledo Mendozza brought away the victorie with the lesse losse of his people Wherof Isabell aduertised declared vnto her brother the vowe that she had made Which semed very straunge vnto him specially howe she durst enterprise so long a voyage on fote and thought to turne her purpose howbeit she was so importunate vpon him that in the ende he gaue her leaue with charge that she shoulde goe well accompanyed and by small iourneyes for respect of her health The Lady Isabell being departed from Spaine hauing trauersed the mouÌ„taynes Pirtenees passed by Fraunce went ouer the Alpes and came to Thurin where the Duke of Sauoye had then for wife a sister of the King of England who was bruted to be the fairest creature of the weast partes of the worlde For this canse the Lady Isabell desired greatly in passing by to sÃ©e her to knowe whether truth did aunswere the great renowme of her beautie Wherin she had Fortune so fauorable that entring into Thurin she found the Duchesse vpon her Coche going abrode to take the ayre of the fields Which the Lady Isabell vnderstanding stayed to beholde her being by fortune at that present at the dore of her Coche And then with great admiration considering the wonderfull beautie of that princesse iudging her the chiefest of beautie of al those that she had euer sÃ©ene she spake somewhat loude in the Spanish tongue to those of her companie in this manner If God would haue permitted that my brother and this Princesse might haue married together euery man might wel haue sayde that there had bene mette the most excellent couple for perpectioÌ„ of beautie that were to be founde in all Europa And her wordes in dede were true For the Lorde Mendozza was euen one of the fairest Knights that in his time was to be founde in al Spaine The Duchesse who vnderstode the Spanish tongue very well passing forth beheld all that company And fayning not to vnderstand those wordes thought that she surely was some great Lady Wherfore when she was a litle past her she sayde to one of her Pages Mark whether that Lady and her company goe to their lodging and say vnto her that I desire her at my retourne to come and sÃ©e me at my castell which the Page did So the Duchesse walking a long the riuer of Poo mused vpon the words spoken by the Spanish Lady which made her not long to tarry there but toke the way back againe to her Castell where being arriued she founde the Lady Isabell who at the Duchesse request attended her with her company And after dutifull reuerence the Duchesse with like gratulacion receiued her very curteouslye taking her a parte and demaunding her of what prouince of Spaine shee was of what house and what Fortune had brought her into that place And then the Lady Isabell made her to vnderstand from the beginning the occasion of her long voyage of what house she was The Duchesse vnderstanding her nobilitie excused her selfe for that she had not done her that honour which she deserued imputing the fault vpon the ignorance that she had of her estate And after diuers other curteous communication the Duchesse would nÃ©edes knowe whervnto the wordes tended that she had spoken of her and of the beautie of her brother The Spanish Lady somewhat abashed sayde vnto her Madame yf I had knowen so muche of your skill in our tongue as nowe I doe I would haue bene well aduised before I had so exalted the beauty of my brother whose prayse had bene more commendable in the mouth of some other Yet thus muche I dare affirme without affection be it spoken as they that knowe him can report that he is one of the comliest gentlemen that Spaine hath bred these .xx. yeares But of that which I haue spoken touching your beautie if I haue offended muche a doe shall I haue to gette the same pardoned bycause I cannot repent me nor say otherwise except I should speake contrarie to truth And that durst I enterprise to be verified by your self if it were possible that Nature for one quarter of one houre onely had transported into some other that which with right great wonder she sheweth now in you Whervnto the Duchesse to th ende she would sÃ©eme to excuse her prayse answered with a litle shame fastnesse which beautified much her liuely colour saying Madame if you continue in these termes you wil constraine me to think that by changing of place you haue also changed your iudgement For I am one of the least to be commended for beautie of al this lande or else I wil beleue that you haue the beautie and valor of my Lorde your brother so printed in your minde that all that which presenseth it self vnto you hauing any apparance of beauty you measure by the perfection of his And at that instant the Lady Isabell who thought that the Duchesse had taken in euill parte the comparison that she had made of her and her brother somwhat in choler and heate therewythal sayde vnto her Madame you shal pardon me if I haue so muche forgotten my selfe to presume to compare your beautie to his Whereof if he be to be commended yet I may well be blamed being his sister to publish the same in an vnknowen place But yet I am well assured that when you shal speake euen with his enemies that yet besides his beautie they will well assure him to be one of the gentlest and best condicioned gentlemen that liueth The Duchesse seing her in these alterations and so affected to the prayse of her brother toke gret pleasure therin and willingly would haue
