vow Argalia was with anger so ore'come To heare these speeches arrogant and prowde As to his horse he in a rage doth runne Threatning he speakes he knowth not what alowde So fast it coms out of his roling tongue He drawes his sworde and fiercely towards him bowde Forgetting to his coste his golden launee Which at the Pine tree he had left by chaunce Both storming thus they meet with sworde in hand And each doth other turne from off his steed Stronger then these the world cannot commaund Nor liues there that in valour them exceed Did here Orlando or Rinaldo stand Yet who would proue most valiant doubt t' would breed As by the sequell of the second song You heare shall for this first hath bin too long THE SECOND BOOKE of Orlando Inamorato THE ARGVMENT Angelica from combate takes her flight Whilst Ferraw with her brother doth contend Who followeth after her on Courser light Ferraw Rinaldo and Orlando wend To finde her on t with all theire force and might And her to seeke in vaine their labour spend Charles I ousts begin where Pagans passing braue Cary themselues the ●oile the Christians haue HOnour and Loue together here do fight Argalia his faire sister to defend Ferraw for sweet Angelica his might Doth shew gainst Loue for loue he doth contend Of valour n'er was seene so rare a sight Thrise happie they that so their liues do end None honours loues his Mistris more then I Yet I cashierd am most disdainfully I honour her and tender her good name More then the dearest apples of mine eine So much I loue her as her loue to gaine Gladly I woulde dispend this life of mine Yet she my chaste request quits with disdaine Shewing of pittie not so much as signe My heart she seekes to tyranize and kill Shee borne to punish I to suffer still Before I tolde you how our Champions were Buckling together with despight and ire Argalia doth reuenge on Ferraw sweare And Ferraw burns gainst him with like desire The one enchaunted armour strong doth beare The others death by wound none can conspire Saue in one place with steele that couered was As hardly any weapon through could passe Who hath two Lions seene combat in Wood When they together meet most furiously Or who two thundercraks to heare hath stood Which flashing lightning doth before descrie Comparde to this strange fight see nothing s●ud So desperat are they whilst their force they trie Heauen seemes to burne and all the worlde to quake Whenas their sparkling blades encounter make They lay on load with blowes themselues to smother Frowning with sdainfull lookes and collor great Th' one thinking to be stronger then the other Trembles for rage and doth with labour sweat And now Argalia ore his foe doth houer And on his naked head his sworde doth seat Thinking that with that stroke he him had giuen His soule from out his bodie he had driuen But when he sawe vpon his sworde most plaine No blood to be he was amazed so As haire on head vpright gan to remaine It seemde to him to be so strange a show But Ferraw meanes to shew to him like game Thinking to cleaue his armour braue as tho Crying to Macon now I thee commende For with this blow I thee to him will send And saying so his force he gathereth round With both his hands at him he hard doth strike As had it beene a rocke of diamond He at that stroke in twaine had cleude it quite The well wrought Helme that was enchaunted found Was cause withouten hurt it there did light If Ferraw thereat wondered iudge but you He was so mazde scarce what he did he knew But after they had breathed for a space Pawsing a while withouten striking stroke One wondring at the other in this case For not one word as yet tweene them was spoke Argalia first to Ferraw turnes his face Baron quoth he for now he silence broke This armour which I weare I will thou know Is by enchauntment made from top to toe Then leaue off with me more thy force to trie For nought hereby but danger thou canst haue So helpe me Macon as I doe not lie Saith Ferraw I no armour neede to saue My selfe for what thou seest on me with eye I cary but for shew and flourish braue And not for need for I vnto the bone All ore am woundlesse saue one side alone Therefore Let me this councell to thee giue For for thy good I now speake as a friend Seeke not as wilfull death when thou maist liue For if thou wilt this quarrell soone shall end Thy sister graunt to me for whom I grieue Else thee the world from death cannot defend But if thou shalt be found so kinde to me I shall be bound for euer vnto thee Couragious Baron then Argalia sayd Thy oft mou'de motion well I vnderstand I for thy loue not feare am well apaid To haue with thee a friendly kinsmans band But I will know before I further wade If with her liking good this bargaine stand Els I 'le doe naught Ferraw replies Content Goe talke with her to know if shee 'le consent Ferraw though young hard fauoured was not faire With morphew tand his speech was full of pride A countenance grim and terrible he bare His eyelids quicke and like a Ferret eyde To keepe his body cleane he ne're did care For on his face great store of dust did bide His head like to a sugar loafe was sharpe His heare cole-blacke by nature curld not Art Angelica mislikes him for this cause For she did loue the Flaxen yellowish heare And to Argalia saith when he did pause Kinde Brother well I know you hold me deare Yet first I 'le cast my selfe in swallowing iawes Of these deepe waters or begge euery wheare Then take for husband such a man as he Better be dead then with a madman be Therefore I pray thee for God Macon sake That thou be pleasde although I can not like Once more thy weapons gainst that Baron take Meane while by magicke Art I 'le worke the slight My selfe to be conuayed home to make Follow me after thou mayst by some fained flight I by Ardennas wood will take my way And there for thee vntill thou come will stay To th' end we both may glad our auncient Sire Who longes for vs but if within three dayes You come not to me as I you require I through the windes as then will goe my wayes Through helpe of coniuring Booke of that Dogde Squire Who for he would haue rauisht me deere payes And after you may come by land with ease To me the way you know if so you please Argalia backe comes nor to tell doth misse How he his Sister cannot make consent Ferraw giue ouer will not for all this But stil to combat with him is he bent To winne her or to die his minde it is And whilst to hold him still in fight he ment The Maid
