A. LICENS'D Feb. 1. 1694 5. LONDON Printed for A. and I. Churchill and Fra. Hildyard Bookseller in York MDCXCV A LETTER OF Francesco Portonari Relating to the Ensuing BOOK To the most Noble Lord S. Odoardo Gomez my ever Honoured Lord. MANY years ago two Writers searching into Ancient Histories made choice of two Noble Cavaliers and their Deeds on that Subject to compose a small Manual Some time after which a Chronicler of France for the satisfaction of a Friend who begged of him that he would give him to read some Warlike Exploits and Amorous Intrigues and Adventures translated this Story of Olivaires of Castile and Arthur of Dalgarve from the Original Latine into his own Native Language the French And as all better Writ Books are wont it generally took Wherefore dispersing all over it got also into Spain and was received as a Choice and Delicate Novel So from the French Tongue it was taught to speak the Castilian and that most elegantly and there obtain'd withal additional Bulk by many new fine and curious things inserted And for as much as we who breathe Italian Air have therewith suck'd in from our Infancy a natural inclination to such sort of smooth and shining Composures of whatever Climate I did for the pleasure of those who are most delighted with them undertake the Task to turn this into the Stile of Tuscany And with the light of such kind Stars I writ that by reason of an Ancient Original of a Third Edition which came though with difficulty to my hands I had opportunity of a thorow view whence such Adventures and Exploits and Amours were extracted and well enough discern'd how those Excellent Writers had separated the best and fairest of the History From that Old Story then from the Latine the French and the Spanish I also have deduced and compiled and so methodiz'd this Work that it appears to me without flattering my self or it to equal if not excel all the other Wherefore knowing Your Lordship has oft read over the Spanish Original of Mine I the willinger present this to Your view which has more of the Truth according to the Relation of the History and less of the Additional Lyes and Fictions that Transcribers have mix'd therewith I shall be highly proud if Your Lordship's Incomparable Judgment can give Approbation to what I have done and my Self and Service do I intirely dedicate to Your Lordship's Acceptance and Favour From Venice March 3. 1552. My LORD Your Lordship 's most humbly devoted Servant Francesco Portonari SONETTO DI BOSCAN In Lingua Spagnola PAssando el mar Leandro è l'animoso An amoroso fuego todo ardiendo Esforço el viento y fuesse embraveciendo El aqua con un impetu furioso Vencido del trabaio presuroso Contrastar à las ondas no pudiendo Y mas del bieu que alli perdia muriendo Che de la propria vida pauroso Como pudo Esforço su boz cousada Valas oudas ablo desta manera Mas nunca fue su boz dellas oyda Ondas pues no se escusa que yo muera Dexadme allallegar y alla fornada Vuestro furor executa eu mi vida SONETTO DI BOSCAN Tradotto in Lingua Toscana PAssando il mar Leandro corraggioso In amoroso fuoco tutto ardendo Fe forza al vento se n'ando rompendo Quell'onde con uno impetu orgoglioso Ma vinto dal travaglio penglioso A l'acqua contrastar piu non potendo Et piu del ben ch'iui perdea morendo Che de la propria vita panroso Come potesforzo sua voce irata Et con l'acque parlò di tal maniera Ne mai da lor fu sua favella udita Acque poi non si puo farch'io non pera Lasciatemi arrivar è à la tornata Vostro furor s'appaghe di mia vita WHen the Gallant Leander Swam the Main Whose Waters cou'd not cool his ardent Love He made the Winds to spend their spight in vain And curling Waves did bravely from him shove But when at length it him had conquer'd now Who cou'd not with its fury further strife Maintain for that he must his bliss forgo He much more grieved than for loss of Life Then the despairing Lover silence brake And to the Billows thus did parly make Nor was e're after by them heard to speak You Waters since I see I perish must Only give leave t' Embrace my Mistress First And at return against me do your worst THE HISTORY OF THE Noble CAVALIERS c. CHAP. I. The Birth of Olivaires and of the Death of his Mother ACcording as my Abilities will permit and as an Inclination natural unto me for high and noble Deeds of Great and Valorous Knights whom Fame deservedly transmits to far Posterity shall give us Assistance my purpose is to make a Relation of uncommon and marvellous Exploits to the end that by hearing such honourable Feats done of others brave Souls may the eagerlier be incited to an impetuous thirst after the acquist of Glory and still the more so when particularly they take for their Mirrour and Pattern the Two Valiant Brothers for Arms so famous from whom our present Story has its origin and by the favour of him upon whom all Conduct depends shall have its successful period I am informed by History
