Campes hée would there méete him and conclude a peace for one day which the king of Natolia accepted When they were met Maximus began as followeth Prince of Bohemia what is it thou crauest at my hands or wherefore hast thou brought contrary to the lawes of Kings a band of souldiers into this countrey where thou act not to set foote without my license Natolian Tyrant quoth hee I come to redéeme my

saide Thinkest thou Bohemian to commaund vs in this place thou art too weake therefore be gon quickly or thou shalt soone sée so many Moores here as shall confound thy sences with amazement Knowe quoth Parismus that what I haue said I will performe and so little doo I estéeme your Forces that I will yéelde those prisoners I haue without ransome the he gaue them Pridamor againe Many other spéeches past betwixt them wherewith in the ende Maximus was so enraged that he sware by heauen and earth that hee would rather sée his own death his countries wracke and Angelicaes destruction before she should be giuen to his custodie and so departed Parismenos was excéedingly troubled when he heard Maximus spéeches whom he knew to be of so cruel a disposition that he would rather indéede sée her death then be crost of his will that he continued in great care and continuall torment of minde Assoone as they were parted Parismus Pollipus and Parismenos beganne to consult what to doo euery one being desirous of victory at last Parismenos saide Most noble Father if I may presume to giue counsell to you that are of farre greater ●…sedom and better experienced in these ●…martial affairs than I am this is my opinion Maximus is of that cruell disposition that rather then hée will be contradicted hée will sée the destruction of himselfe and his posteritie that it is not valor but wilfulnesse that maketh him resolute theyr foes likewise are so much weakened by the last slaughter we made amongst them that if wee can giue them another sudden Onset they will be vtterly dismayed Besides the Kings eldest sonne Marc is my deare Friend on whose faith and fidelitie I durst repose my life Who if he could attaine the Cittie would be ready to aide vs Therefore so pleasath you let vs giue the Onset when they are in their dead sléepe which will bring such terror and amazement to their harts that they will be like men amazed Parismus hearing his Words liked his counsell very well And thus hee contriued this businesse the Band should be diuided into thrée parts the one to be vnder the Conduct of himselfe the other vnder Parismenos and the third vnder Pollipus Which was so secretly done that the Getulians had not the least knowledge thereof About midnight when all things were at silence and the Getulians voyde of suspition the Bohemians left theyr Tants and Pollipus with his forces gaue the Onset violently rushing into the Getulians Camp on that side was next them Parismenos went betwixt them and the Citie And the Prince of Bohemia marched about with his forces and inuaded them on the backe side The Getulians being then in their déepe sléepe and without the least thought of any such inuasion were so amazed with this assault that they ranne vp and downe some weaponlesse and some halfe armed and some with their swordes onely and the Bohemians in the midst of them making an excéeding slaughter The King of Libia and Santodelodoro were so eager that they ran vp and downe calling for their Armour and crying out courage courage And being armed they began to courage their amazed souldiers with many comfortable spéeches but the Bohemians were so thicke amongst them and had so much disordered them that some of them lost their liues as they were putting on their armour others were slaughtered euen whilest the sléepe were in their eyes others strooken dead as they were lifting their armes to strike the first blowe and some slaine before they could recall their sences from amazement there might one heare the dismall grones of murdred soules there might one perceiue slaughter in her royaltie and reuenge filleth his thirstie heart with blood feare stood trembling in his right hew terror appeared in the Moores gastly lookes and victory on the Bohemians swords The Prince behinde them slaughtering some before they could looke backe Pollipus before them with his furie parting the soules from the bodies And Parismenos with his bloody Swoorde cutting off theyr passage to the Citie The Prince met with Santodelodoro and made him flée to saue himselfe from death Pollipus met with Pridamor and gaue him so many Woundes that hee durst no longer abide his sight Parismenos turned backe the King of Lybiaes steppes hasting to the Cittie and pursued him with such eager chase and gaue him so manie grieuous Woundes that had hee not withdrewe and held himselfe amongst a throng of Lybians he had died by his hands All the Natoliās were amazed terrified discouraged and confounded in their thoughtes being so cruelly and valiantly assaulted by the Bohemians that they beganne to flie and forsake the Campe euery one shifting to saue his life ther was such a cry that the noise therof was heard into the Citty The Cittizens supposing there had bin some mutiny in the Camp amongst Souldiers ranne out at the Gates Which aduantage Parismenos soone espyed and got their possession Then began the Cittizens to crie out and ran with amazed terror the Beacons were set on fire the bels rung out with a confused noise euery signe of amazement was made This noise soone came to Maximus hearing who vexed with a chaos of confused thoughts caught vp a sword and in a desperate furie ran into the Citie the Knights be tooke them to their Armor the Ladies forsooke their Beddes wringing their hands and making great lamentations Angelica affrighted with their cryes apparelled her selfe not knowing what this great tumult should pretend Marcellus likewise was with the noyse awakened from his

vtter that dismall doome of her Sonne shee fell into a deadly swound in which sort she continued a good space in which time the nurse was departed with yong Parismenos which when Laurana perceiued she began to vtter many heauy plaints that the very walles seemed to pittie her distresse but being diuersly tormented with feare to thinke what was become of her yong sonne she got to the windowe and there beheld Adamasia with the nurse ready to strangle the Infant before her face but the nurse pittying the infant who lookt with such a smiling countenance that the cruell Tigers would haue spared his life vpon her knées with aboundance of teares intreated the hard hearted Adamasia to spare his life who was no way guiltie of his mothers offence but all the intreaties she could vse nothing auailed but she taking the infant from the nurse adressed her selfe to execute her cruell intent Which Laurana espying beeing therewith terrified called aloude from the window vnto her and desired her to heare her speake before shee spilt the innocent bloud of her yong sonne which caused Adamasia to stay but still shee continued like a furious Lionesse standing ready to deuour her pray and Laurana from foorth her window vttered these speeches If thou wert euer borne of a woman be not so inhumane as so destroy that harmelesse infant which is of no power to worke thy discontent wherein hath it offended thee or how hath it any way deserued such an vntimely death What will it profit thee at all to see his destruction It is I that haue offended thee it is I that may appease thy cruell minde it is my blood that may suffice thy deuouring appetite then inflict thy wrath on my head reuenge thy selfe on mee that héere offer my selfe willingly to destruction What mercilesse creature would be so tyrannous as to destroy an harmelesse innocent when they haue in their power a fitter subiect to appease their ire Cruell Adamasia or let mee call thee gentle cruell woman let my plaints mooue thy heart from acting that cruell déede let my humble teares and remembrance of a mothers loue to her childe reuoke thy cruell doome let my paines and intreaties so much pricke thy flinty breast as to cause thy heart relent and stay thy hand from that mercilesse déede heere I am that haue offended why wilt thou not then reuenge thy selfe on mee that may satisfie thy will and spare that tender babe whose death will make thée so odious that the very earth will refuse to beare thy hatefull body the Sun will send noysome vapours to poyson thy soule the ayre will infect thy intrailes and the very foules will worke thy downefall Remember that his life may bee a meanes to alter my minde but his death wi●…harden my heart so much that it will be foreuer impossible for thee to attaine the thing thou seekest at my hand Then bee not so cruell as to spill the blood of that silly Lambe that is not altogether as yet ready for the slaughter Adamasia hearing the conclusion of Lauranaes spéeches perceiuing that they shewed some likelihood that shee would change her inclination wherein she was deceiued deliuered Parismenos againe to his Nurse with many oathes protesting that if Laurana did not the next day grant her request he should surely die Laurana was somewhat comforted by this short time of Truce she had gotten for Parismenos li●…e but stil rested in such ca●…e and perplexity of griefe that she was in the most woefullest estate of miserie that euer any Lady was in her Senses beeing so stuffed with aboundance of sorrow that shee could neither resolue what to doe nor once study how to auoide these intollerable mischiefes The Nurse hauing receiued the young Parismenos with great ioy departed to the place of her aboad where she was no sooner come but she then began presently to deuise how to saue the swéete Babe from death for although she was a stranger to Laurana a woman of a rude and barbarous Nation and altogether voide of Ciuilitie yet by the Diuine operation she was so farre in loue with that most sweet countenance of the yong Infant and therewith she tooke such delight to educate so gallant a Childe that she determined either to saue him from Adamasias cruelty or thereby worke her owne destruction therefore in the middest of the darke night when all things were at silence she stole away from the Castle with Parismenos and by that time it was day she was trauelled some twenty miles from the same wher she gate into a woode and there made such prouision that she carefully brought vp Parismenos as conueniently as was possible for her to doe in that vnfrequented place of whom wee will speake more heereafter The next morning Adamasia came again to Lauranas chāber demanding the accomplishment of her request who by that time had sufficiently determined what to doe and weghing the distressed estate she was in considered that if shee should condiscend to loue Andramart shee should both disrobe her selfe of chastitie and doe a most monstrous iniurie to the noble Parismus shee resolued rather to sée the destruction of her Sonne and endure death And therefore tolde Adamasia if nothing but her dishonour would content her minde she might doe all as pleased her for she was resolued neuer to yeelde to violate her chastity but yet most humbly intreated the hard hearted hagge to spare her Sons life shewing such manifold reasons that it would haue pierced the heart of the cruellest Tyrant liuing but Adamasia was rather inflamed to furie then any way mollified with her gentle intreaties that in an extreame rage she departed with full intent to excute her vnsatiate reuenge on Parismenos but comming into the nurses Chamber and not finding him nor his nurse she could not tell what to thinke and making further enquirie being thereby assured that they were not to bee found shee was inraged with such madde and Diuellish frenzie that shee came vnto the two olde hagges that had executed her commandement before on Laurana stamping and staring and discouered vnto them all that had happened and how that the nurse was fled with the yong Infant who by her wicked commandement for many daies after continually tormented the vertuous Laurana with such extreame tortures that it was impossible for her long to endure that extreame misery wherewith shee was brought into a most dangerous estate of death being voide of all comfort and continually she spent her time in bemoning the losse of her Lord and the vntimely slaughter of Parismenos whom shee thought assuredly to be dead CHAP. XXIII How Aadramart vnderstanding how Adamasia had vsed Laurana and missing young Parismenos would haue slaine her but shee hasting to auoide his furie burst her necke downe a paire of staires ANdramart all this while continued in good hope of Lauranas fauour which hee was in some sort assured of by Adamasias perswasion who continually vsed all the delaies she could to hinder
