Mistresse had other thoughts then his he begun to seeme melancholick he spoke but by monosyllables he neither eat nor slept but to the halfe part in fine to deliver himself from these inquietudes he pressed the conclusion of the Marriage but of the other side Teodore prayed her Father in his presence to deferre it yet excusing her selfe to be indisposed to that action and he full of respect or rather feare resolved to have patience and suffer In the interim to the end to make him the more sick it came into my fancie to give a serenade to my wife counterfeiting the amorous passionate and having advertised her at what houre I would be under her window she came to the window where she heard these verses recited O busie tedious law of reason How much art thou out of season When nothing can thy fury quell And whilst thy vaine seditious course That would would my strong passions force Makes me against my self rebell Thy Physick cannot me restore Farewell and trouble me no more That Beauty that claimes heaven by merit To which my undaunted Spirit An eternall Victim's made From her sweet as modest eye Le ts such Flames and Arrowes flye That 't were a crime but to evade Thy Physick cannot me restore Farewell and trouble me no more Though hopelesse I am a presumer Yet to adore her 't is my humour She 's too chast too faire not to take Faith to what end then serves thy Treason When I have never so much reason As when I love it for her sake Thy Physick cannot me restore Farewell and trouble me no more In such occasions the greatest part of discreet Lovers content themselves that the subject of their passion know that it is they that give the Musick and endeavour to hide the knowledge thereof from all others but I proceeded otherwise When the Consort was ended I approached to those that had sung and speaking high made my selfe to be named with design to be knowne from thence I went to salute Teodore and after having made her excuses that the Verse and Musick were not so good as she deserved and she had given me such thanks as civility obliged her to I retired my self testifying by my gestures and words that I was much in her favour This jolly troop that accompanied me were not so modest nor made so little noise before the house of Teodore but that they wakened my poore competitor or rather gave him subject to rise from his bed for I thinke his inquietudes would not suffer him to sleep He came then to heare this consort which was as odious to him as pleasant to others that heard it yet he spoke not one word thereof no more than of the words he had heard hee contented himselfe to confer with one of his servants whom he had made his confident who having more wit and understanding let him know that Teodore must needs be engaged in affection to him that gave her the Serenade that such carriages were to beâ— suspected and that the excuses she had made to her Father for to hinder the execution of their marriage testified sufficiently that she had other desires then his In fine he advised him to retire himself if he would save his honour Don Martin being perswaded by these reasons faigned to have received a Letter from his Father which called him home in diligence because he was very sick and taking leave of the father of Teodore promised him to returne as soon as he could possible Thus Teodore quit her self ingeniously of this displeasing pretendant we re-entered into the enjoying of our felicitie one may so call a marriage wherein the affections are conformable The invention was published and the ignorance of the Biscain Gentleman mocked But as there is no pleasure in this life which is not mingled with bitternes not long after his departure my Father in Law took also leave of us for to go into a better life Then pressed with desire to see again my countrey and my other sister which I had left at my house I came to this town accompanyed with my dear Teodore It is now but three daies since I arrived here and this night I have received a writing from Don Martin who incited by his Father and his Friends demands reason of me for the injury I have done him in taking from him his wife J prepared my selfe to meet him not with designe to doe him any displeasure but civilly to satisfie him when a man came as a friend to admonish me not to stirre out but well armed and with a good second because the Letter that I had received came not from Don Martin but from two of the Cosens of Don Pedro in his name who would set upon me to revenge their Kinsman whom they were told I had killed J was not so rash to despise this advertisement J furnished my self with what was requisite to resist mine enemy and accompanyed my selfe with Seigneur Marcell my Kinsman a generous man and to whom J am obliged We came together to the rendezvous which was neare to the place where J set upon you where J knew your valour and where J hurt my heart with a perpetuall sorrow in hurting you for reparation of which fault and to convert our indifferences into affection J consecrate to ease your troubles and misfortunes my house my person and all J possesse Fenise thanked him for his offers and thereupon they arrived in the towne of Valence and at the prayer of Leonard went to light at his house at the same instant a Chirurgeon was fetched who visited the wounds of Fenise to the which he applyed necessary plaisters judging that they were not dangerous but that they vvould be long in healing In effect tvvo moneths vvere spent in this cure during which time Fenise had in abundance all things that was necessary for him so that being obliged with so many benefits he discovered to him the very secrets of his heart and his adventures from the beginning untill the ravishment of Laure the onely thing which troubled him the most Leonard promised to assist him in all that he could possible assured him that he should have presently news thereof or the Ravishers should not bee in Valence These officious promises reanimated the courage and augmented the health of Fenise and as soon as he was able to goe abroad he privately enquired who he was from whom he had received so great an affront The End of the first Booke of FENISE THE SECOND BOOKE OF FENISE WHosoever will make comparison of the inquities of this Age with those of times past will easily see that the World hath alvvaies been vicious and our nature alwaies fragile vvhen I remember the words of Seneca Vertues are perished Fortitude Pietie and Modesty have left us and it is almost impossible for them to finde the way to returne againe unto us I imagine with my self that Fenise lived in the time of Seneca or that Seneca was present
disinherited he without regarding the ordinance of his mother would possesse himselfe of the succession but he was hindred by two of the cosens of the defunct He had with them both words and blowes and in this difference he outraged Gentlewomen his Kinswomen with so many insolencies injuries and intemperances that it was decreed against him that hee should bee put into prison where hee staied a long while because no body regarded him all that hee undertooke issued very ill and in the end seeing himself abandoned by all the world and pressed with extream necessity besides the incommodities of prison he had recourse to me and writ to me conjuring me to assist him in the misery which he endured being abandoned of all his kindred and friends This letter was given me and many others wherein he reiterated the same prayers but I was not much moved to assist him I was insensibly growne into a certaine negligence which many times hindered me from undertaking this voyage I imagine that heaven permitted it to be so to chastise him for the evill he had done in being the cause of the death of her which was the cause of his life after the soveraign author of all things Seeing himselfe reduced to so great misery so far that he was not visited in his chamber by any but the other prisoners he had his heart touched with a very sensible repentance judging that all these miseries were come unto him by divine punition those who brought him his meat found him alwaies sighing and weeping Desiring then to appease the anger of God and do pennance for his fault he made a Vow with a good heart to employ a whole yeare in visiting on foot all the holy Sanctuaries of Spaine if it pleased God to deliver him from the miseries wherein hee was From that houre that he had thus acknowledged himselfe all things came to him according to his wish every one beganne to pitty him I arrived at Cartagene with intent to endeavour to serve him and before J saw any of my kindred J went to visit him in prison where after having embraced him with teares in his eyes he recounted to me from point to point the prodigious extravagancie which he had done which he believed was the originall of his misfortunes I blamed and chid him rudely for suffering himself to be carried away with such a folly and seeing the extreame sorrow which he had for it J became the vigilant solicitour of his affairs By my intermission they whom he had offended pardoned him seeing that they had a sufficient reparation having kept him two years a prisoner for not penetrating into the judgements of God they beleeved that it was onely by their meanes that Garcia had suffered this paine Not being content with having gotten him out of prison J would see the clause of the Testament of his mother and the cause of his dis-inheriting having examined it with counsell we learned that the Law deprived from succession those children who layed violent hands upon their Fathers or mothers or who attempted upon their lives and as the adversaries of Garcia could not prove that he was guilty of any of these cases for although hee was the cause of the death of his mother there was none but she and he that knew it the Judges before the Processe was begunne ordained that the Testament should be broken and that Garcia should be put into possession of the inheritance not onely of his mother but also of his father a few dayes after he was installed in his goods he enterprised to render his vowes beginning with our Lady of Piler of Saragoce one of the most holy places of Spaine where the blessed Virgin appeared to the Apostle St. James We left Cartagene at the same time hee to acquit himself of his vowes towards God and I of my duty towards my wife See Seignieur Fenise the cause of my voyage which you desired to know and the weake curiositie of my foolish Cosen who will be wise hereafter An example which sheweth us the misfortunes which arrive to those that will make such foolish experiences The entertaine of these pleasing divertisements endured untill their last dayes journey In approaching to Toledo Don Antonio and his brother renewed their thankfulnesse to Fenise taking leave of him and Marcell with a thousand civill complements Don Charles carried Don Antonio to the towne where Violante lived with Orambel who had like to have dyed many times with sorrow not knowing what was become of her husband since that hee went for Naples his unexpected presence carryed her from one extremitie to another the excessive joy which she received at his arrivall had like to have made her tender her soul in embracing him Don Antonio staied six daies with them and then he carried them to Madrid Fenise and Marcel arriving at Toledo were received with unspeakable joy the one of his mother the other of his wife the one to stay alwaies with his family and the other onely to regulate his affaires and take possession of an estate which his father had left him with the right of the eldest of his house The respect which every one bore to his merit made him happily proceed in his businesse vvhich being done the Idea features vertues and perfections of Magdelene which kept the most eminent place in his memory obliged him incontinently to take againe the way to Cartagene In few dayes he was with her to the great contentment of her father mother and brother who all expected him with great impatience to put him in possession of a treasure which he more passionately aspired unto then the highest fortune in the world It was his marriage with Magdelene which was celebrated before the ministers of the onely law where he publiquely gave her his hand as secretly he had done his heart under reciprocall promises of a perfect union they reaped the fruites of their loues which had taken encrease and maturitie amongst so many different dangers surmounted by their hardy resolutions and according to the ingenious conduct of our Heros Having passed some monthes amongst his wives friends he would let her know his for this effect by the consentment of their father and mother and her particular approbation he carried her to Madrid there to establish his house and habitation where now he passeth his life with this marvell of beauty and wisedome with all delights which are to be tasted in this world A successe which may serve for a certaine proofe that in case of marriage the union of soules is made in heaven the alliance of bodies upon earth Jn the varietie of rare adventures described in this volume the marvellous effects of love and fortune are seene whereby one may know that the one surmounts all the greatest hazards that can oppose him and the other although she be inconstant and many times maglignant she neverthelesse favoureth generous courages and aydeth them to accomplish their designes when they are
confusions one while forming a designe to declare unto her the acquisition which she had made of my liberty and another while imagining that this conquest was no great glory to her my humility rendered me fearefull In these irresolutions I could not hinder my selfe from making rounds and walkes about her house endeavouring to see her sometimes at the windowes this issued very happily yet after having passed much time therein almost a whole moneth was employed before I could enjoy a little light of this star In the end not for to trouble you with the recitall of the paines I tooke to get acquainted with her I will tell you that I persevered so constantly in this passion and rendered her such certaine testimonies thereof that after having seene my flames painted by my writing she had pitty thereof or to say better she felt the heat thereof There are not many women how cruell so ever they be that having hearkened to the plaints of a lover doe not compassionate his griefe and assay to give him ease A love which drawes nourishment from two breasts of an infant presently becometh a giant At the end of two yeares ours arrived at so so perfect a grandure and Charitie knew me so loyall that she promised me the last favour upon my word I ingaged to her my faith in calling to witnesse the celestiall powers to marry her when she pleased and with this assurance she consented to accomplishment of my desires the night following moments seemed ages in expecting the houre she had given me the day seemed to be eternall or that a new Joshua had stayed the Sun but in the end light gave place to darkenesse and then as a generous courage called to fight endeavouâ—s to be the first at the place appointed so I being called to this amorous duell desiring to testifie my valour I came before the houre given and rendred my selfe in a certaine place under the windowes of Charitie as she had appointed me She who kept Seminell seeing me come so soone called me softly and prayed me to retire untill her mother was in bed for feare that in expecting too long time I might be perceived by some curious person who might trouble our designe I found her counsell very judicious and executed it upon the instant exercising the vertue of patience without any merit Fernand had beene in Flanders with mine uncle eight yeares and some monthes where he had in the hazards of warre rendred a thousand good testimonies of his birth and valour to the great advantage of this Monarchie when mine uncle his master of the camp sent him to Madrid with many letterâ— addressed to his friends and great persons of the court in commendation of the merits of Fernand who besides these favourable letters brought scars upon his body which served for faithfull attestations of his generositie he arrived that very night and went to lodg with some young gentlemen who were come from Flanders a little before him and who were at the court pretending as he himselfe did recompences of their services they received him very courteously and feasted him but after supper which was thus very late it was impossible for him to goe to bed without seeing me Desiring then to satisfie this impatient desire he quitted his company to come seeke me for besides his particular affection that solicited him thereunto he had letters for me from mine uncle The assignation which I had made with Charitie was the cause that he found me not at home which obliged him to returne to his lodging which to doe he must necessarily passe before Charities house as he did and just at the favourable moment I was expected and that all the domestiques were asleepe The proportion of Fernand the obscurity of the night the motion of the lover the apprehension of shame the feare of scandall accompanied with strong imaginations which represent oftentimes to our intellects the objects we desire troubled so much poore Charitie that seeing Don Fernand approach she believed it was I and then without other ceremony or longer attending she threw him downe a key wrapt in her handkercheif and bade him open the dore and enter presently Don Fernand was so surprised that he knew not whether it was a dream or an illusion but having taken up the handkercheif and found the key to open the dore as he was bidden he knew that it was a reality and â—udged that he was taken for another He stayed a little consulting with himselfe if he should provâ— this adventure to enter into this unknown house or to keepe on his way but thinking it cowardlynesse to doubt if he should enter he resolved to adhere to the summons and hazard the successe thereof He approached and opened the dore then put iâ— too simply without locking of it that he might goâ— out againe the more easily if there was occasion he crossed a great court and entered into a hall which Charite had opened to let me come up to her chamber which was the first story high finding himselfe there in the darke and meeting no body he knew not what to doe or say if he went on he knew not whither he went and if he should speake he feared to be heard in briefe he was in so great confusion that he knew not what to doe immediately after these irresolutions had ceazed upon his spirit I whom love called to the recompence of of my paines came to the street doore I thrust it softly and seeing that it yeelded to me and opened so easily I believed that it was the providence of Charitie which had left it open to the end that I might enter without noyse Antonio broke off this discourse at this place because they arrived at their lodging for that night referring the rest untill the next morning that this history might serve them for divertisement against the tediousnesse of the way these three friends arrived that night in the towne of Mourcia where 〈◊〉 â—â—ey were scarcely entered into their chamâ—â—â— when they heard a rumour in the court of the Inne which their window regarded Fenise looked to see what it was and saw three men with their swords in their hands who had invironed another who defended himselfe generously Fenise tooke his sword and ran incontinently to assist him or to take up the quarrell but at soone as the others saw their adversary assisted they retired themselves seeming to be contented to proceede no further Our Cavalier having disingaged this stranger from the danger he was in carryed him into his chamber where Antonio was where he was knowne for his â—osen and Fenise his friend this was the Cavalier of Valence called Marcel of whom we have heretofore spoken in the first and second bookes They were all extreamely glad to meete so happily and that they went all the same way for Marcel went also to Toledo They asked him from whence proceeded this quarrell and who were these three men he answered that they were Merchants
and that he was angred with an uncivil word that they had spoken to him in alighting and that he would have his horse put in the stable in the placâ— where one of theirs stood saying so the three Merchants came to demand his pardon for their insolence excusing themselves in not knowing his qualitie and so the peace was made and every one passed the night in repose the next day they continued their voyage Being out of the towne Fenise prayed Marcell to tell him for what cause he went to Toledoâ— who desiring to satifie his curiosity said thus Your absence is the cause that you are ignorant that I am married in that towne to a cosen of Seigâ—eâ—◠〈◊〉 Antonios This alliance was treated of betwixt 〈◊〉 kindred and mine at my returne from Italy whither I went incontinently after you and I tooke leave one of the other I esteeme my selfe so happy in this condition that one may say that God had reserved us to unite us together our affections and wills are so conformable It may be you desire to know wherfore I have made this voyage to Cartagene from whence I come as well as you the subject thereof is prodigious I will tell it you by the way and assure my selfe that you heard the like never spoken of for it is rare We will put you in minde of it said Charles when my brother hath finished the history which he hath begun then Antonio seeing that they all concurred in the same desire begun againe his discourse in this manner Since that Seigneur Marcel hath so often heard it recounted it is not necessary to say againe what I have already told you I will begin againe onely where I left As I entered then into this hall Don Fernand heard me better than he saw me he retired aside for feare of being met and put himself in a corner near the door of the stairs which went to the chamber of Charitie I who thought to goe in security and who knew well the lodging went right to the staires Fernand who perceived me to approach drew a Ponyard which he wore at his girdle thinking I was some of the houshold servants or some neighbour that had seen him enter who counterfeiting the ignorant would surprise him and chastise him for his rashnesse so that as I came to passe by him he fell upon me and gave me two stabs with the poyniard the one upon the other which if I had not had on a Buffe-coat which hindered the iron from entring farre had killed me upon the instant I fell neverthelesse at his feet all bloudy and in a swound and at the same instant he got the doore and fled In the interim Charitie attended and seeing so much delay she believed that I could not finde the staires of her chamber In this opinion she took a little Wax candle and came down softly where I was at the first she saw me along upon the ground but not knowing what this should signifie she came nearer and found the dear object of her passions almost in the like condition as heretofore Venus her lover hurt by a wild Boare I cannot represent unto you what griefe surprised at that time poor Charitie it is easier for you to imagine it than me to expresse it She presently judged that her mother having discovered our secreet intelligences had begunne her vengeance upon me which she would finish upon her This false opinion made so strong an impression upon her spirits and feare possessed her so powerfully that she thought she saw nothing about her but the images of death In fine she suffered her selfe to be so extreamly troubled with these panique feares that it was impossible for her to take any good resolution Without regarding her condition without respect of her honour or consideration of the danger whereunto she exposed her selfe she at that instant left the house accompanied onely with misfortunes and adorned with the jewels which she ordinarily wore which were a cross of Diamonds which she wore upon her breast two Pearles like Peares which hung in her eares and a Garland of gold Emerauds and Rubies which she had about her haire Thus desolate she crossed the whole Town of Madrid and went to the last houses which are towards the Meadowes of St. Ieronime where the walkes and projects of Lovers and Courtezans are made Having put up her stones into her pocket she entered without choice or consideration into the house of a poor woman not being able to go further because the day which begun to break might have discovered her All this while I remained in the estate and place where Charitie had found me untill the rising of a servant who coming to make clean the hall as she did every day perceived at the entry thereof a body which she believed to be dead affrighted with this spectacle she went to the chamber of her Mistresse the mother of Charitie telling her more with astonishment then words what she had seen This Lady allarmed with this accident rose and made all her servants to be called who ranne all to me at the same time they tooke me from the ground and layed me upon a bed and in the doubt wherein they were whether I was dead or alive sent presently for a Chirurgeon in expecting him none of them knowing what to doe to me they heated linnen cloathes towarme me and cast water in my face to waken my spirits if I were swounded in fine amongst all these accurable diligences they were put out of the paine wherein they were seeing me make a great sigh which testified unto them that I was yet living Thereupon the Chirurgeon arrived he looked upon my wounds and putting the first plaister thereupon stayed the little blood that refted in my veines When my strength was a little come unto me I prayed Eugenie that I might be carryed into my lodging conjuring her not to afflict her selfe nor to be troubled for my disgrace for although I was ignorant of whom I had received it I did not forbeare to assure her that all her domestiques were innocent She enquired of me how this misfortune had arrived me in her house but not knowing what to answer her I faigned that my paine hindered me from speaking as in truth it was very sensible the Chirurgeon accomodated himselfe to my necessity told her that I ought not to speak by this means I avoyded my troublesome examination and was carryed home This good Lady extreamly troubled with this scandall went up to Charities chamber doubting that she knew something of this misfortune but the first displeasure was followed with an affliction much more cruell she saw the doore open and the chamber voyd of that she thought to finde therein They called Charitie they sought her thorough all the house but they knew not what was become of her and when they had told Eugenie that those who went to fetch the Chirurgeon had found the street door open this poor Lady fell
