Of that which happened to the Prince Florendos after that he had left the Castle of Dramorant the Cruell where hee vanquished Astribor I Haue made rehearsall vnto you in the first part of this Historie how the valiant Prince Palmerin of England who caused himselfe to be called the Knight of the Tiger happily brought to the end the cruell enchantment wherein the faire Leonarda Princesse of Thrace was long time detained and hauing staied long in that realme he concluded to take his leaue of the Quéene Carmelia and the young Lady desiring them humbly that they would not séeme to hinder him from his voyage to Constantinople within whose walles was inclosed the inestimable treasure of his knightly and loyall minde which indéede was the faire Princesse Polinarda the soueraigntie of whose beautie was of such power as made him refuse the Crowne of Thrace which was presented vnto him according as the Sage Aliart made rehearsall before these famous aduentures by the principall noble Gentlemen throughout the realme of Thrace who hartily desired if it might be possible that the noble Palmerin of England whose honestie valour and Knightly courtesie was agréeable together should fulfill the commandement of their King Sardament which they would haue béene very loth to contrary had he thereto consented But Palmerin made knowne his minde and secret intent as well vnto them as also to the Princesse both what he intended and what hée would sée especially performed wheron his honor should stand

of the Sauage man not staying for his answer thus shortly answered Sir if the apparance of my griefe take such desire in you to do me good you may do as you shal find occasion I remaine the more déepe in your debt But I iudge you are either ouerfond or else forgetfull of your selfe to offer such friendship to a stranger who doth neither desire it nor can any way deserue it you being as I suppose rather come to stay me then salue me Sir quoth Palmerin the estate I sée you in doth cōmand me to vse this spéech constraine me if I might to be your succour neither fearing what you can doe or falling one iote from that I should doe But to tell you why I come is to desire you by intreaty or cōpel you by force to restore a shield againe which you haue disloyally taken from a trauelling Lady Considering you might diminish your honour if you should deale with her so vngratefully séeme an enemy to knighthood in not regarding to helpe the wrong of any iniured Lady The knight of the Sauage man beholding the great courtesie of Palmerin estéeming his words to be spoken for his aduantage both conquered by his braue behauiour as also the inward affection that did naturally moue him gaue him this answere I haue often heard Sir knight that wordes can more déepely wound then weapons that courtesie can compell where cruelty may neuer conquer Such hath bin your high good fortune at this time such is the knightly demeanor that I haue séene as your gentle language hath entred where your lance cannot and your friendship woon more then either feare or force may constraine And séeing you haue takē the paines to find me out and haue done more at this instant then before could any I deliuer you the shield as best worthy to weare it both for the gifts of Nature which florish in you abundantly gratious Nature which doeth adore you nobly With these words he imbracing the P. Palmerin presently mounted on horsebacke departed Then returned the Prince accompanied with his knights who were greatly delighted in beholding the Shield In the midst where in a Field of Azure was placed a very faire Palme Trée so liuely framed as if it had béene a naturall Trée and that which was most wondred at of them all was a certaine Poesie in Letters of Gold engrauen round about the sides so darkely placed that none in the company could iudge what they should meane At length they came to the Court when the Emperour was newly rysen from supper who being certified of al that had happened was very much displeased in mind because his whole desire was to haue had knowledge of this valiant Knight of the Sauage man Then taking the Shield and looking very earnestly vpon it hée sent for the Damosell to know the Poesie that was ●ngrauen about it The Damosell answered I would most gracious Emperour it were in my power to fulfill your request but being as ignorant therof as you or any other I must desire your gracious pardon When she saw the Emperor had giuen Palmerin the Shield who vowed to vse it as became a Knight at Armes Making her obeysance to his Maiesty and al the other Knights shee presently tooke her leaue and departed And the Emperor determined among all his Knights to consider more largely on this strange aduenture CHAP. XIIII In this Chapter is largely described who was the Sage Aliart of the Obscure Valley that sent the Damosell with the Shield of the Palme Tree to the Emperours Court to bestow the same on the valiant yong Prince Palmerin BEcause you shll bee resolued who was the Sage Aliart of the Obscure Valley and why hee tearmed himselfe by such an vncustomed name marke what this Chapter shall giue in relation and then consider of his procéedings afterward When the P. Don Edoard left the realme of Lacedemonia and as occasion willed him to stay in the Empire of Grrece after he had deliuered the king Tarnaes forth of the cruel enchanted Castle he entred a Galley and so departed on his voyage Not long had they bin on the seas but that a Damosell suddenly chanced into the Galley not vsing speech to any but taking the principall Ore in her hand turned their passage quite contrary to another Iland where Don Edward being landed deliuered a comely knight out of the hands of diuerse cruel tyrants who were leading him to abide an vnmercifull death The Damdsell conducted the Prince to the habitation of Argonida where being friendly entertayned and staying as a welcōmed Guest such conuersation was betwéene them that they had two goodly Sonnes named Pompider and this Sage Aliart of whom wée meane to discourse Whose Grandmother being expert in the Science of Magicke nourished this Aliart out of popular conuersation that thorowe her meanes hee became maruailous ingenious of wit and very skilfull in her diuelish exercise so that he was esteemed the notablest Magitian in all the world whose memory being not touched in the booke of Primaleon I will declare in what order hee passed his whole life This Aliart reputed of no lesse fame then learning was not inferiour to any but bare the estimation aboue all so that none durst offer him iniurie albeit he deserued it nor none would contend with him they stood in such awe He seeing himselfe honoured of the mighty when they durst doe no other and loued of the most part for his excellent cunning beganne to exercise himselfe in Martiall exploytes which shewed him to bée the Sonne of the renowned Don Edward And hauing receyued his Knighthood at the handes of the Giant Garatie he behaued himselfe as famous in his exploites as he was estéemed singular in his practised Arte. And then hee vnderstood his Fathers imprisonment with the noble Primaleon in the Castell at Dramusiande who by the skill of his Aunt Eutropa endeuoured to haue all the flower of Chiualrie in like captiuitie But albeit the imprisonment of these Princes was vnknown to all the Knightes that laboured continually in their search yet this Aliart was so well acquainted with the matter as they that kept it most secrete for that his Arte gaue him the power to knowe what was done in all Countreyes in the world For when the Grecian knights whose affection to these two Princes caused them to leaue their natiue Countrey and were happened into the vnfortunate forrest of great Brittaine which was brauely replenished with many couragious hearts as also sundry gallant Ladies preparing many hard aduentures there were very fewe escaped but for the most part were all lost in this vnfortunate search Among which noble mindes was Recined Prince of Spaine Arnedes King of France Maiortes and Sir Pridos whose absence was greatly bemoned in the English Court The Princes Belcar Vernar Ditree and the Soldan Bellagris with the renowned Polendos All these for the honourable affection they bare to the strayed Princes left
