Dutchess being gone her wonted Pilgrimage Octavo whose new Favour obliged him to be near his Majesties Person cunningly stole from the Company to a place where she enjoy'd the coolness of the shade she rise at first sight of him and striking him upon the Shoulder with a branch of Orange tree she held in her hand You 're very bold my Lord Duke said she thus to interrupt a Ladies Privacy ev'n withdraw your self continued she and flung a handfull of Orange Flowers in his Hair the Adventure is more dangerous than you think for shewing him a little Hillock shadowed by a Sloe-bush in Blossom The Duke began this piece of Gallantry bravely and taking her by the hand to conduct her to the place she had shewn him You have very little Charity for poor strangers reply'd he in a drolling tone thus to lie in Ambush for them upon the Kings High-way who could ever have imagin'd this attaque go Madam you deserve to be Chastised and I hope to quit my self of your Ambuscado like a brave Fellow Without question a Discourse so well begun was carried on as pleasantly for although St. Brune went such a distance from them that she could not hear their Discourse the substance of the Entertainment may be guess'd by the Verses made in that solitude Madrigal 2. HArk how the murm'ring Woods my Fair one do complain Since you and I the other day they spy'd That unkind Nature has to them deny'd Those sweeter pleasures which by Love we gain It vexes 'um to see Their glorious Progenie So trim and gay adorn the smiling Field Yet not th' remembrance of one sweet pleasure yield 2. Whilst spend-thrift like she so profusely wasts Such mighty sums on her dear Fav'rite Man That e'en whilst he his Duty payes he tasts Those pleasures which they never knew nor can Devouring Time destroy The sweets which we enjoy When age depraves our taste in a Childe we Then enjoy and in a Grand-childe chew o're our Leacherie Clor. Thus the short pleasure we enjoy In getting of one lovely Boy Still multiplies it self and we Enjoy it still in our posteritie For when he mates we cry Ah so did Phillis once and I. Ah so c. If the Duke of Parma had contributed only the subject to this Song yet he writ it with his own hand and being 't was with a Pencil in a Table-book it not being so easie to make lettters upon Ivory as upon Paper his were so difficult to be known that the Dutchess thought it needless to wipe them out but put them in her pocket and return'd to the Castle much satisfied with her happy encounter The Duke follow'd the Hunters though he could hardly overtake them yet when he found them was outwardly sorry for the losing their Company Montmorency comforted him as well as he could telling him the King was very much concern'd for his absence The Duke having a mind for to droll Had I been in Love said he pleasantly I need not complain of being so long alone but I confess solitude is very Melancholy and dull to a man that 's Insensible You see answer'd the Ambassador that sometimes Love is very usefull I begin to think so too reply'd the Duke smiling and two or three such accidents as I met with to day will make me hate my Indifference These Discourses continued till they came to the Castle where the remaining part of the day was spent in telling the success of their Hunting which having been somewhat violent they went early to bed and eas'd themselves of the labours of the day The Tenth Day THe next day the Court went a Fishing and the Ladies were in a dress suitable to the Recreation the King shew'd his magnificence in the expensiveness of the Banquets and the rich adorning of the Boats where they were served After the return from Fishing there was an Italian Comedy at the Queens apartment and the Dutchess having some private reasons to love that Language was one of the first at that divertisement The Scotch Earl having the opportunity to place himself behind her chair his Passion being always the Mistress of his Politicks resolv'd to give her some new mark of that Love he could not overcome Madam de Valentinois lifting up her hand to put something of her dress in order the Earl spy'd a Ribband at the entrance of her Pocket which he thought was her table-Table-book softly drew it out whilst she was looking another way and thinking to make some advantage of that adventure went to write some Gallantry in it but casting his eyes upon that of the foregoing day was surprized to find that Character in the Dutchesses Table-book and the reading it raised in him so great a Jealousie as made him fetch a deep sigh the fair Diana hearing it lookt towards him and perceiving her Table-book nimbly snach'd it away letting him see by her angry looks that she was displeas'd at this presumption he lookt earnestly upon her when he saw her anger and fetching another sigh as deep as the former Ah! Madam said he what have I seen At these words he left the Room the Dutchess perceiving by them he had read the Madrigal resolv'd to prevent the evil these Verses might cause if they were known she read them first and faining she believ'd the Ambassador writ them complained to the King of this affront and told him with all the appearances of a real grief that she was very unhappy in being an object for the insolencies of strangers because she was loyal to his Love This way of changing the business made the King so angry with the Earl that if the private Treaty of the Marriage which he carried on had not caus'd the Queen to raise all her Interest to support him the King had sent him word he might return He Protested and 't was true that he never so much as thought to write those Verses and that he had never seen them except in the Dutchesses table-Table-book but circumstances being against him and Madam de Valentinois having rub'd them out as soon as the King had seen them with a pretence of being asham'd of them 't was impossible to know the Character so that the Earl was tax'd with an Iniquity he was nothing guilty of The Eleventh Day LOvers cannot live long in good Intelligence the excess of Love makes them capricious the most inflam'd hearts being the most inclinable to anger and we had rather betray our own happiness than to Love alwayes without clashing The Duke and Dutchess on the sudden look'd not so kindly upon each other as they were used to do and Octavo being highly displeas'd with her disdainfull usage was almost resolv'd to sacrifice his Interest to his Love and return into Italy Those who in that time heard of Farnese's discontent judged it caus'd by Montmorency's proposing of him to marry the young Princess Diana Madam de Valentinois Daughter by the King to which they say he could never be perswaded but
