caused every one to retire to their houses and Helena and Amphialus after a while spared some time to advise with Clytifon to consider of the probablest way for them to go into Arcadia the people of Corinth being in great expectation of their solemnizing the wedding there Then Clytifon counselled them on this manner The surest way that I can think on is to lay open your real intentions to the Peers of your Land that by degrees it may be published to the Vulgar also declare that you will not yield to any thing that may prove to their prejudice but if they will not receive that as satisfactory but argue that it is a disparagement for their Country to suffer their Princess to depart from thence and be transported into another to have her marriage finished you may easily prevent their future dislike of that particular since the dishonour of your Countrey concerns you most and in all reason you should have the most especial care to preserve it you may please them with telling them you do intend to make your Kingdom famous by the splendor of those Princes that now reside in Arcadia and then you will solemnize your wedding with the same points that you use when you are there and I am perswaded their dissentions will be quieted The Counsel of Clytifon was no way rejected but very well esteemed by the Royal lovers who shewed their thankfulness by the large Theams they made of their judgements to him and then telling him that they must still be more obliged to him they entreated him to let his return to Arcadia be a little sooner than theirs to give the Princely family intelligence of their following after because they were yet in their private lodge it would not be commodious for them to come unto them unawares Clytifon replied That none should do that Service but himself then Amphialus told him it was high time for him to make good his words for Queen Helena and his own intention was to be at Matenia suddenly thus after a few more speeches passed Clytifon took his leave and dispatched away with all expedition In the mean time Helena gallantly played her game for at the immediate time of Clytifon's departure from Corinth she proclaimed free Liberty for her Subjects access unto her then Amphialus and she being arrayed in glorious Apparel removed from their with-drawing Rooms into the Presence and there seated themselves in the Throne their Nobles coming to them in their ranks and kissing both their hands rendered in all lowly manner their joy for their Queens carefull choice in making so brave a Prince their high Lord Then Helena declared her mind to them as Clytifon advised her which at first startled them but she argued in her own defence so wisely that she quickly confuted and pacified those disturbers But after them came Knights Gentlemen Citizens in such abundance that they confined the Princess to their patience for a Week together Besides the Countrey Peasants and all sorts of Mechanicks that with admiration pressed to gaze upon them But when their tedious task was over they spent some time in pleasing their fancies with the contrivance of stately curiosities for the honour of their Nuptials Amphialus and Helena concurring so well together that nothing was commended by the one but instantly it was highly approved of and valued by the other Which combining of these was a rare example for the under-workmen they endeavouring to follow their Superiours Rule delighting in these fellows judgements did to the lovers joy unexpectedly finish their Art Then all accommodations being prepared in a readiness they departed from Corinth their pomp being thus ordered Three Chariots drawn by six horses apiece came whirling to the gate the first was for six Noble men being of Amphialus his Bed-chamber That Chariot was lined with green Figerd-velvet richly fringed signifying the Princes loves The Horses were black to manifest their mourning for being so long exiled from their loves The next Chariot was lined with white Sattin embroidered with gold that was to witness their innocencie their love being virtuous in that went six Ladies attendants upon Helena The third and last was for Helena and Amphialus that was lined with blue embroidered with Pearls and pretious Stones the Horses wore plumes of Feathers the Coach-man Postilian and six Footmens liveries were blew as an Emblem of their constancie and embroidered as the Chariot was On this triumphant manner they went to Arcadia besides an innumerable companie of Coaches and Hors-men that belonged to the Court which keeping on a moderate pace in short time safely set footing there and the flying report that would not be stoped for any mans pleasure quickly gave notice to the Princes of Helena's and Amphialus being come But they had before removed to their Palace being in perpetual expectation of their companie and to shew how glad they were to enjoy it Musidorus and Pamela with Pyrocles going altogether in a Coach went out a good distance from the Citie to meet them which they could hardly compass to do by reason of the multitudes that went to see that magnificent Sight until they had appointed Officers to beat a Lane so that at last they made a narrow passage It was an incomparable Sight to see Helena and Amphialus greet Philoclea what low congies they made to her as if she had been their Goddess whilest she courteously reverenced them again Then Helena and she stood admiring one anothers Beautie till Amphialus had saluted the other Princes and yet returned soon enough to break their silence Ladies said he there is no occasion given to stir up sadness in Rebellion against mirth happiness for here we may see Love coupled together when we have known by experiments it to have been dispersed by many strange accidents And most sweet Princess Philoclea by your gracious lines I am preserved from perpetual miserie to enjoy a Crown endowed with all felicitie But yet Madam all that I can do or say in requital is to let you know that I am and ever shall be your humble Servant I beseech you Cosin replied Philoclea do not your self that injurie to confess you were thrust forward to your contentment And seriously when I obtained a sight of this rare Queen I was astonished at your former backwardness But since Cupid did play his part so cunningly as to make you blind I am extream glad that I could be an instrument worthie to recover your decayed eyes and languishing spirits and I am beholding to your goondess in obeying my request Here Philoclea ended and Amphialus was furnished with a Replie When Musidorus brought in Pamela to Helena whom she civily welcomed to Arcadia but upon Amphialus she looked aloft as not deserving to be regarded by her Which Musidorus perceiving he secretly perswaded her to look favourably upon him Whose advice was received by her as a command that she durst not withstand So she altering her disdainfulness into chearfulness bent her discourse
