approaching nearer he perceiv'd that they were the Duke of Anjou and the Duke of Guise The hatred which he had for the last joyning it self to his natural jealousie made him find something so unpleasant to him to see these Princes in company with his Wife without knowing what accident had brought them together nor what they came to do at his house that he could not conceal the disorder which it caus'd in him though cunningly he rejected the cause of it upon the apprehension which he had that he should not be able to receive so great a Prince both according to his quality and to his own wishes The Count of Chabanes appear'd yet more perplext to see the Duke of Guise with the Princess of Monpensier than seem'd the Prince himself The adventure which Fortune had made use of to bring these two Persons together appear'd to him as an unlucky Omen from whence he prognosticated that this Romance-like beginning would be follow'd by other accidents of the like nature At Night the Princess of Monpensier entertain'd these Princes very generously and with a civility which was natural to her In fine she pleas'd her Guests but too well The Duke of Anjou who was a Prince of a comely personage and very accomplish'd could not behold a person so worthy of him without ardently desiring to enjoy her soon became infected with the same Disease which possest the Duke of Guise and alwayes feigning extraordinary affairs he remain'd two dayes at Champigni without being oblig'd to stay by any other motive then by the charms of the Princess of Monpensier the Prince her Husband not using any intreaties to retain him there The Duke of Guise before he departed took an opportunity to acquaint the Princess that he was still the same which he had ever been and since his Passion had never been reveal'd to any he often told her in publick without being over-heard by any but her self that there was no change in his affection but that at present he retain'd as much adoration and respect for her as ever In fine the Duke of Anjou and he at length departed from Champigni with much regret They rid a long while without speaking one to the other and remain'd in a profound silence till at last the Duke of Anjou imagining that perhaps their silence might proceed from one and the same cause demanded briskly of the Duke of Guise if he meditated upon the beauty and perfections of the Princess of Monpensier This brisk demand joyn'd to what the Duke of Guise had already observ'd concerning the inclinations of the Duke of Anjou made him perceive that infallibly he would become his Rival and that it extreamly imported him not to discover his Love to that Prince but to deprive him of all suspition he answer'd him smiling That he appear'd himself so much taken up with the imagination wherewith he accus'd him that he had judg'd it uncivil to interrupt him That the Beauty of the Princess of Monpensier was no new thing to him That he had accustom'd himself to gaze on the Luster of her charms without being dazel'd with them ever since she was design'd to have been his Sister-in-Law but that he perceiv'd very well that all persons were not so well prepar'd against them as himself The Duke of Anjou ingeniously confest to him that he had neyer yet seen any thing which in his opinion seem'd comparable to this young Princess and that he found very well that her presence might prove dangerous to him if he should often expose himself in her company he would fain have made the Duke of Guise confess that he apprehended the same Fate himself too but the Duke who began now to make a serious affair of his Love would confess nothing to him These Princes returning to Loches entertain'd themselves often with a very pleasing discourse of the adventure which had caus'd them to discover the Princess of Monpensier but it prov'd not a subject of so great diversion at Champigni The Prince of Monpensier was discontented at all which had happen'd without being able to give a Reason wherefore His Wifes being in the Boat appear'd to him as an unlucky accident It seem'd to him that she had entertain'd these Princes too kindly and that which displeas'd him most was to have observ'd that the Duke of Guise had regarded her very attentively These thoughts caus'd him from that instant to conceive a furious jealousie which made him to remember the passion and resentment which that Duke had shewn against his Marriage and he had some thoughts that from that very time he had been amorous of her The ill humour which these suspitions put him into caus'd sometimes but ill usage to the Princess of Monpensier The Count of Chabanes according to his custome took care to hinder that their private discontents broke not out into an open quarrel endeavouring through that to perswade the Princess how great and real the passion was which he had for her and how disinteress'd from all self-ends Yet he could not refrain from asking her the effect which the sight of the Duke of Guise had produc'd in her She acquainted him That she had been troubl'd at it through the shame which she had to remember the kindness which she had formerly shew'd him she confest that she had found him far more accomplish't now then at that time and that his discourse seem'd to intimate that he would perswade her to believe that he still affected her but she assur'd him that nothing was able to force her to relinquish the resolution which she had taken never to engage her self in so perilous an Affair The Count of Chabanes was much rejoyc'd to hear this resolution but nothing could secure him against the suspition which he had of the Duke of Guise He represented to the Princess that he extreamly fear'd that the first impressions of her Love would soon return and made her apprehend the mortal grief which for their common intrest he should have if one day he should see her change her present resolutions The Princess of Monpensier alwayes continuing her reserv'dness towards him scarce answer'd to what he said concerning his passion and never consider'd him but in the Quality of her faithful'st friend without doing him the honour to take notice of him as her Lover The Armies having quitted their Garrisons and being again upon their march the Princes return'd to their several Commands and the Prince of Monpensier found it convenient that his Wife should come to Paris to be no more so near those places which were the seat of the War The Huguenots besieg'd the City of Poictiers and the Duke of Guise cast himself in the Town to defend it where he perform'd such actions during the Siege which alone were sufficient to render for ever famous any other person but himself Soon after was fought the Battel of Moncontour and the Duke of Anjou after he had taken St. John d' Angely fell sick and
