awaked and as his usuall custome and manner was hee stretcht out his armes and with his hands went feeling the bed from side to side and not finding therein his beloved Wife hee leapt out of the bed all amazed and astonished with much greater nimblenesse then his many yeares promised and when hee found her not in the Chamber and saw the doore open and that the key was wanting betweene the Colchones hee was readie to runne out of his wits But recollecting himselfe a little better hee went out into the Gallerie and going thence as soft as foot could fall that hee might not bee heard hee came into the Hall where the Governesse was sleeping and seeing her all alone without Leonora hee made to the lodging of the Governesse and opening the doore very softly hee saw that which hee could have wisht hee might never have seene hee saw that which hee would have held a great happines that hee had no eyes for to see it Hee saw Leonora in the armes of Loaysa sleeping so soundly as if the oyntment had wrought upon them and not on the jealous old man Carrizales had quite lost the beating of his pulses with the unexpected sight of what hee saw his voyce cleaved to his throat his armes fell downe through faintnesse so that hee stood still like a Statua of cold Marble And though choller did its naturall office seeking to quicken and revive those his almost dead spirits yet sorrow did so over-sway his anger that it would scarce give him leave to fetch his breath And yet notwithstanding would hee have taken such revenge as so great a wickednesse deserved if hee had any weapon about him wherewith to have avenged himselfe of the wrong that was done him And therefore resolved with himselfe to returne backe againe to his chamber to fetch a dagger and at his returne to take out the staines of his honour with the bloud of these his two enemies and together with theirs that of all that infamous rabble of his house Having put on this honourable and necessarie resolution hee returned with the selfe same silence and warinesse wherewith hee came to his lodging where griefe and anguish so wrung and oppressed his surcharged heart that without any further power to doe any thing he fell downe in a swound upon his bed In this interim the day appeared and caught these supposed new adulterers intangled in the net of each others armes Marialonso she awaked and would have gone for that to Loaysa which for the good service shee had done him shee thought of right appertained unto her But seeing that the day was now fully in she was willing to deferre the receiving of her recompence till the comming of the night Leonora was much troubled and perplexed seing it was now broad day cursing her owne carelessenesse and that of her accursed Governesse whilest both of them with hastie steps hyed them thither where her husband was praying to themselves as they went along that they might finde him still snoring And when they saw him lying on the bed and not a word come from him they did verily beleeve that the oyntment continued its working since that he slept and with great rejoycing Leonora and Marialonso embraced each other Anon after Leonora drew nigher and nigher to her husband and taking hold of one of his armes she turn'd him from the one side to the other to try whether hee would awake without putting her to the paines to wash him with vinegar as she had beene told was needfull to bring him againe to himselfe But with that tumbling and tossing of him too and fro Carrizales returned from out his swounding and fetching a deepe sigh sayd with a lamentable weake voyce Oh miserable and unfortunate man that I am to what bad tearmes hath my fortune brought me Leonora did not well understand what her husband said but as soon as she perceived that he was awake and that he spake wondring to see that the vertue of the oyntment did not last so long as was signified unto them she came unto him and saying her face to his muching him with strickt embracements shee sayd unto him What ayl'st thou sweet-heart me thinkes I heare you complaine as if you were not well The good old man heard the voice of his sweet enemie and opening his eies in a wilde kinde of fashion like one amazed and startled out of some fearefull dreame he fixed them on her with great earnestnesse and without moving the least haire of his eye-lids he looked wissely and steadily on her a great while and then at last he sayd unto her Let me entreat thee my deare that you presently out of hand send for your father and mother to come hither to mee for I feele I know not what in my heart which does paine me exceedingly and I feare it will speedily shorten my life and I would feigne see them before I die Doubtlesse Leonora did certainely beleeve that what her husband sayd was true thinking that rather the strength of the oyntment then that which hee had seene had put him into this trance And telling him what he commanded should be done She sent away Luys the Negro willing him that he should forthwith go to her Parents and hasten their speedy comming hither for that the businesse required much haste and their personall presence Having dispatcht the messenger she came to her Husband embraced him kissed him and used towards him greater expressions of kindnesse then ever she had made show of heretofore asking him how he did where his griefe lay and that with such tender and loving words as if he had beene the onely thing in the world which she most loved and esteemed He looked on her in the same kinde of wilde manner before mentioned every word that she uttered and every muching which she made of him being a lance that smote him to the heart and a sword that wounded his very soule In this meane while the governesse had acquainted the servants of the house and Loaysa with her Masters sicknes indearing unto them that it would quickly make an end of him since that he had forgotten to command the doors towards the street to be shut when the Negro went forth to call her Mistris Parents wondring withall why they should be sent for in such post-haste since that neither of them had put their foot within that house since they first married their Daughter In a word they were all of them very silent and knew not well what to make of it none of them lighting on the true cause of their Masters sicknesse who ever and anone did fetch such deepe and dolefull sighes as if every sigh would have broken his heart-strings and rent up his soule by the roots from his bodie Leonora wept to see him sigh in such sort and he smiled to himselfe like one that was not well pleased considering the falshood of her teares Now by this time Leonora's Parents were come and for that
Grand-Signior she must be shut up in the Seraglio and turne Turke whether she will or no. But if she go along with me replyed Halima it mattereth not much that she be in my Parents house nor that she converse with them with whom my selfe couverse much more and yet I cease not for all that to bee a good Turke Besides the longest time that I meane to spend with them in their house shall be at the farthest but foure or five dayes for the great love which I beare unto you will not give me leave to be any longer absent and not see you The Cadi made no reply that hee might not give her occasion to breed some suspition or other in her of his intention Whilest this businesse was a brewing Friday came and he went to the Mezquita from whence he could not come forth in almost foure houres and Halima had scarce seene him put his foot over the threshold of his house but shee commanded Mario to be call'd for to come unto her but a Christian of Corsica would not suffer him to enter who was then Porter and wayted at the gate of the outward Court if Halima her selfe had not called out aloud unto him that hee should let him come in And so hee entred but much troubled and trembling as if hee had beene to fight with a whole armie of enemies Leonisa was in the same dresse and attyre as when shee entred the Bashaw's Tent sitting at the foot of a curious stayr case of polished Marble which led the way up to a large and spacious gallerie rounding the whole house her head hung downeward towards her bosome resting it selfe on the palme of her right hand and leaning her elbow on her knee her eyes were turned another way quite contrarie to the doore by which Mario entred so that though hee went towards the place where shee sate yet did she not see him No sooner was Ricardo let in but hee walked through the whole house with his eyes yet could he not perceive any thing save a dumbe and still silence till that hee cast his eye aside where Leonisa sate Instantly whereupon so many thoughts tooke hold on enamoured Ricardo as did worke in him both amazement and gladnesse conceiting himselfe to bee a thousand paces and more distanced from his happinesse and contentment Hee considered likewise with himselfe that hee was a Captive and his glorie in anothers power revolving these things with himselfe he made towards her by a little and a little and with a fearefull love a joyfull sadnesse and timerous courage for such passions accompanie true lovers hee came by degrees to the Center where his hearts joy was when by chance Leonisa turned her head aside and fixed her eyes on those of Mario who looked very stedfastly on her But when both their lookes had thus encountred each other by different effects gave evident signes of that which their severall soules felt within Ricardo stood stock still and could not stirre one foot further and Leonisa who upon Mahamuts relation gave Ricardo for dead and to see him now and that so unexpectedly alive full of feare and amazement without unfixing her eyes or turning her backe shee stept up backeward foure or five stayres she blest her selfe as if shee had seene some phantasma or a thing of another World Ricardo returned from out his astonishment and knew by that which Leonisa did the true cause of her feare and therefore sayd unto her it grieves mee to the very soule oh of all fayre the fayrest Leonisa that the newes did not fall out true which Mahamut gave thee of my death for by it I might have excused those feares which now I have in thinking with my selfe whether that rigour which heretofore thou hast used towards me continue still in the same force and being Quiet your selfe dearest in my love and come downe againe and if you dare do that which hitherto you never did which is to draw neare unto me come and touch me and thou shalt see that I am no phantasticall bodie no wandring ghost I am Ricardo Leonisa that unfortunate Ricardo whom thou hast made so Whilest he was speaking this Leonisa puts her finger upon her mouth whereby Ricardo understood that it was a signe that hee should be silent or speake more softly and taking a little better heart unto him he drew a little nearer unto her in such a distance that he might heare these words come from her Speake lower Mario for so me thinketh thou now callest thy selfe and treare not of any other thing now save what I shall treate with thee and consider withall that it may so happen that if we be over heard we shall never see one another any more I verily beleeve that Halima our Mistresse listeneth to heare if not heareth us who to deale plainely and briefly with thee hath told me that she adores thee and hath entreated me to be the intercessoresse of this her desire if thou wilt answer her wishes it will bee better for thy bodi●… then thy soule But if thou wilt not yet must thou feigne that thou dost embrace her love as well because I entreate thee so to do as also for that the declared desires of a Woman ought not uncivily to be despised and utterly rejected Hereunto Ricardo answered I did never thinke nor ever could imagine fayrest Leonisa that there was that thing whatsoever which you should entreate me to doe that should bring with it an impossibilitie of cumplying therewith but that which you now require of mee hath dis●…deceived me Is peradventure mans will so light that it may be moved too and fro and carried hither and thither whether the pleasure of others shall guide and direct it or doth it stand with the honour and faith of a Gentleman or with the repute of an honest man to feigne and dissemble in things of such weight and high a nature as this is If it seeme good unto you that any of these things in this kinde ought to bee or may be done doe that which shall be most pleasing in your owne eyes because you are the sole Mistresse of my will But I now know that you likewise deceive me in this since that you never rightly knew my will and therefore know not how to dispose thereof but because you may not say that in the first thing you commanded me you should not bee obeyed I will lose somewhat of my selfe and of being what I ought to be I will satisfie your desire and that of Halima as you say feignedly so that I may thereby gaine the happines to see you And therefore doe you feigne my answers to your owne good liking for from hence forth my feigned will doth ●…irme and confirme them Now in requitall of this office which I do for you which is in my opinion the greatest that ever I can or shall be able to doe though I should give my soule anew unto you which I have so often given you
