Duke himselfe hauing so well caried himselfe in his seruice that he was not onlie beloued of the Duke his now Lorde and master but of all his whole Court and especiallie of Senilla the onelie daughter of the Prince of whom he had often receiued such secret tokens of honorable fausurs as except he would hide both his eies he must néedes perceiue some part of her affection But among al this was not the least that one daie among other in the afternoone the Duke being disposed to haue some 〈◊〉 and dancing in the presence falling out in a daunce that euery knight was to take his Ladie and euerie Ladie her seruant on whom she would bestowe her fauour in the presence of her father the Duke she tooke Fantiro by the hand and accompanied him in the measure till the dauncing was wholie ended Which was noted of manie especially of one who hauing more wealth then honour thought to buy loue with drosse which ilfauoured dogge vnworth●…e to bee called a man yet attended with farre better then himselfe séeking in what hee might to disgrace this vnknowne Prince came one daie by chance into a galleris néere adioining to the presence where he found the yong Princesse walking all alone and vpon the sodaine standing as it were in a muse looking vpon a picture of an Ape playing with an Owle where smiling to her selfe which was the best shaped creature shee sawe comming towardes her the onelie hobby horse of a man that euer disgraced a coate of veluet whome rather for the fauour that he helde with her father then for anie affection that the had reason to carrie him she for ill fashions sake thus saluted Signor Sperto for so was hee called whether christened or no I know not God giue you good morrow The flouch of a slouen with a slauering smile vpon a slubbered conceit after manie good 〈◊〉 began to trouble her with this tattle Truely 〈◊〉 I am glad it was my good happe to méere so conuenient 〈◊〉 lie with your 〈◊〉 as well for the honour that I wish you a●… for the seruice I would be glad to doe you for though a Quince bee a tree of no straightnesse yet it beareth a faire 〈◊〉 wholesome fruit the fallow 〈◊〉 is rough yet it beareth the best 〈◊〉 and the Ore hath but an ill hue yet is there pure golde to be had in it so maie it bee that in me you maie ūnde some cause of discontentment 〈◊〉 you haue made triall of more then I will protest but emploie me in your seruice consider of my desart and doe me iustice in your fauour Let your fathers loue be an ingression into my Grace and the endeuour of my dutie the encrease of my good for tune The 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is commended for shining as well vpon the valleies as the mountaines the sea is beloued as well for a Pinnis as a proud ship and is not the pearle in a shell more worth then the oyle of a Whale then thinke it not vnpossible to find that spirit in me that you maie perhaps finde in a fairer faced ereature a Diamonde is the brighter for his foile a faire horse is the more beautifull by the deformitie of a fowle iade and how can you bee better graced then in fauouring the disgratious for my loue I will compare it with anie liuing and for my seruice I would it could expresse my louing Good Madam pardon my boldnesse in acquainting you with my suit which hath no life but in the onely fruit of your good fauour The Ladie so little liking the outward dogge that shee had no patience to thinke of the inward Deuill little studying for an answere brake of a sodaine into this spéech Sir for your kindenesse I thanke you but for your paines I would be loath to trouble you for though your eloquence be great yet all is but a sound and when the stringes are once slipt the lute is but a piece of wood the Diamond is to be loued for his fire not his fotle a comelie horse with a iade will make an ●…lfauoured coniunction 〈◊〉 to grace the vngratious is against the haire of a good wit My fathers loue and my liking maie differ vpon causes and your seruice and my command not méete in anie occasion of emploiment for the sunne shining on the valleies it is a blessing of the heauens and for the Pinnis sayling thorough the seas it is by the bearing nature of the water but for the pearle in the shell indéede I must confesse it is farre better out of it then in it and to conclude for the inwarde sharpenesse of your witte if it were not in so grosse a person I could perhaps take patience with my fauour to make some emploiment of your seruice but for that I would not féede you with vaine hopes to hang vpon the skirtes of my faire spéeches let 〈◊〉 suffice you not to abuse you that I could bee content of ten to heare you but neuer to see you Whereat the wicked wretch like a galde horse kicking at the noise of a currie-combe fret●…ing at his owne deformitie where a squinte eie a halfe nose and a wrie mouth had no grace in a great rage 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 his cold entertainment went awaie with these wordes Well if you like not that you see you maie pull out your eies and softlie muttering to himselfe I will méete with you ere you be aware and crosse you in your most comfort meaning with Fantiro her loue now in that Court called Rantifo But I will leaue the wretch to his wicked inuentions going from the Ladie to the Duke her father and I will tell you a fewe wordes of the Lady and her louer whose good hap it was presentlie after the departure of this sweete Gentleman to come into the gallerie where his Ladie and mistris was verie solemnlie walking but fearing that he had offended her fauour with pressing into her presence begā to retire himselfe towards the doore as not willing further to mo●…ue her patience which the Ladie espying and willing a little to embolden his dutie in her fauour called him vnto her with these wordes My good seruant what meanes this too much good manner or shall I call it strangenesse or found you them not here that you looked for or are you displeased with them that you see Truely I wil not hurt you and to put you in further comfort if you haue any suit to my father or affection to any friend of mine assure your selfe I will not hinder you though how much I will further you I will not tell you The young Gentleman in this Court vnknowne what hee was and therefore carrying no greater title not a little glad of this kinde gréeting made her this humble answere My gratious Ladie and mistris I feared nothing but your displeasure nor ioie in anie thing vnder the heauens but your fauour my suit to your father is but his imploiment of my seruice and for my affection to your
