this serueill lyfe 26. It was my chaunce when I had traueld long In forrests wyde some sheipherds for to find Whoe 's lyfe content secure from fortuns wrong Would fite my cursd and haitfull dayes to end Wheir long I serued in poore and mein degrie Refusde no paine whill paine refusde not me 27. But Fortun still invying my estait And skorning this my blist tho poore content Disdaning so I should eskape her hait Not suffring death my shame wo greif preuent Nor pitted she my wo my cair my greif But pitied I should thus eshew mischeif 28. One day as I my shaggie flock furth dreane From fold to groue to medewe and to plain Evandone Prince of Ephyre did persaue Within whoe 's land thoes shipherds all remain By chaunce from sporthe com and me esteem'd More beautifull then in effect I seem'd 29. And thither oft in tyms he did resort To thrall me chaste desire vnto his will But I still cloyde with cairs and vod of sport Denyit his sute and preisd to shune his ill But all in vaine my trauell was for nought Me gainst my will vnto his court he brought 30 Ane youth he was vnmaried I confes And on my head wold set his diadem But I whoe 's hairt ane other did posses This spak the dame vnwarrs and bushd for shame And thus she turnd her speeche from whom all loue My cair my greif my sorrow did remoue 31. When he perceaud my resolutione strong Vn moud nor vowes nor prayers could preuaill He neids would haue by force dispight wrong What he could not obtain by louet ' assaill And long he mew'd me vp frome dayes sweet lyght In prisone dark in voes eternall night 32. Nor could these wrongs his crueltie suffeize Nor could he pitie puire vnhappie me But in the sight of all the Peoples eyes He would bereaue my spotles chastitie Nor could words prayers sighs or tears him moue To leaue so foull so vyld so filthie loue 33. His vitious mynd so odious had him made That all his Lords and people him detested Then would he haue me bound vpone a bed When on my kneis this one thing I requested He would not suffer Rascalls bind or bow me But his owne hands yat honor wold allow me 34. Wheirto he yeelds and I resolue to die Then cald I thryce on sweit Penardos Name Thus twyce vnwarrs her passion furth did flie Twyce she her loue bewrayd tuyce thought shame O loue true loue for speeks she or be mute Her blushe looks smyls or word bewrayt her sute 35. Yet loue to hyde that had so oft burst out Her eyes tuixt wraith and shame ●old brint and shynd At last this she excuse she casts about Quod she Thyne ayde would their haue pleasd my mynd I wish'd the when the Tyrane did aspyre To act his filthie foull and vyle desyre 36. His dagger then I quicklie puld a paire And ere he could him self of me releef I stobd his loue but with his loue his hart Wheir with the people cry'd O sad mischeef Some in a raige me fouriouslie assayld But with the greatter pairt my pairt preuaild 37. And thus begane a fearce crewell feght On at her syde wer kild hurt brusd or slaine I pitied for my caus my deid my right They murdred thus should masacred remane Wheirfor with gentle speeche pleasant words I both appeas'd their wraith sheathd their swords 38 When they be thought them on the Tyrans deids His murders great when they to mynd did call They prais'd heighe Ioue from whom ther help proceid● To me they gaue yair kingdome croun and all Which long for to enioy I could not stay Whom angrie fates and fortune cald away 39. I vowd yat ' rest my bodie should not find Till I my countrey freinds parents kn● A gouernour their left I me behind Then forward on my iourney did I go Long traueld I and mony dangers past Till in this forest I arryud at last 40. Wheir whill I lay my weary lims to rest Beneth the vmbrege of a spredding B●eche A virgine Nymphish lyk attyrt and drest Presents to me this armour with this speeche Aryse Laissa now the tyme drawes neir Wherein thou must a knight no mayde appeir 41. Mansay the send this armour sword and shield And thair with bids the go to Buda straight Wheirby thy Fortune Heauns shall to ye yeeld By cunning slight by force and dreidfull feght Thou must that Knight from fire from death detaine That the releeud from fyre from bloode from paine 42. As for thy Parents this he letts ye kno Thou art sole Heyre vnto a mightie King Which tym and fate and fortun shall ye sho And end to all thy greif cair sorow bring But kno thy hart 's delight and greattest ioy Shall be the greattest caus of thy annoy 43. This sayd the Nymphe throughe shaples aer does glyd I fond my self well arm'd on euery pairt And forduart fast my spedie steps I hy'd Me thought some fear assailt my pancing hairt Some fear of fortune ill mishap mischeef Wheirat I tremblit shouk quakt for greif 44. Whill thus I go tuix dreid wo hope and fear I met By happie chance a Palmer old Who did the mater all to me dcelair And how yow slew stout A●galantes bold And tho your name was chang'd yet weell I knew Your deads your valour shew me it was yow 45. Then Argalantes Nephoy fain'd I me To mak you frie non other mein I saw And to reuell to yow for yow I die Then knew I weell yow all the treuth wold shaw So should yow die I leiue for to be sory That Earths obiect was saift lost her glory 46. By this heaun's light Earths confort Darknesse foe From our horisone Night did wairn to pas And lyke transparent cristall gaue to sho The hemisphere or lyk bright azure glas Or lyk a demi-syluer-globe it lyes Vpone the earthe earthe seem's to beir the skye● 47. No sooner days faire coach man did appeir When as their talk was interrupt and stayit A noyes of horse and chariots they did heir And suddanly they roise as half affrayit Whill as the sound drew neir they did espy Some threttie Knights that gallopt softlie by 48. And round about a coatche they seemd to ryde That four whyt fair and galant coursers drew In which a lady sat who●s beauties pryd Seemd to contend with bright Apollos hew Yet throw her beautie lookt furthe proud disdaine That shew her mynd displeasure did containe 49. Her crimsone cheek leandon her snow whyte hand Her eyes Loues fyrie Comets seem'd With chyld With tears which woe and anger did command And raind downe Tempest from her face so myld On her fair breist lyk diamants whoe 's rainge Fyr't by hir eyis in thousand colours cheange 50. Or lyke the rory deaw in May that lyes One snow white lilies and on purple roses So stands the Nectar drops stild from her eyes

Penardo as ane Gallant would obey Whoe 's braue heroick spright surpast so farre All youths of Greece that he would oft essay The most and best approued Knight's of warre When tuo at once he caus'd for to effront him They could not find the meins for to dismont him 15. Yet whill he sleip't at home in silent pace Th' Embassadours come to the court in haist Frome out Achaia whom it pleasd his grace To entertaine with many royall feast Who muche admeird the great magnifience Of his fair court and of his excellence 16. Thrie dayes wer spent in feasting or repast When ●hey desyr'd for to be hard of all The King and counsell being set at last They wer convay'd vnto a princelie hall Yea to vnfold that costlie court so fyne Should pas the might of such a Muse as myn● 17. The pillers wer of purest yuorie fram'd With pearle and pretious stone in gold embost Whoe 's glistring beam's continuall light inflamd That sable Night her entrance their had lost The stones to wall 's their glances consecrat's Which ritchest mantles still reuerberat's 18. Whoe 's maiest● was staitlie to behold For round about the walls the tapestrie Was goodlie arace wrought with Indiane gold With purple silk and syluer gloriouslie So viuelie wrought vnto the humane eye Maiestick purtreats lyuelie seemd to be 19. Their Cupid painted in his glistring pryd His eyes wer shut yet in his crewell fist An goldin bow and arrowes did abyd Wheir with he shot at randone when he list He bends he draw's he shoots no shaft in vaine He hitt's the Hart yet no marks remaine 20. Ther Ioue and their the Thebane Semale Their jealous Iuno lyke her Nurse appeirs And caus'd her seik that Ioue in majestie Wold come with thundring darts lightning fyr's Their might you sie when he performd ye same Her birne in heauenlie fyre schoarcking flamme 21. Their Leucothea their was Phoebus bright In sheape of old Eurimine her mother Their Orchamus her father tacks her streght And eard's her quick til Phoebus coming hither Vnto a lamp a starre a flamming light He chang'd her for to chace from thence ye night 22. Ther Mars and Venus at ther dallying sports Their Vulcans artificiall yrone nett Wherin he wrapt these louers their resorts Feir Danaes Sone whome Ioue did erst beget Who cutts Medusa's heid and their the fontane Wheir he had chang'd King Athlas in a montan 23. Their also feghts he with the monster wyld That persecutes the fair Andronad euer Their Cephey and Cassiope bewayld Their daughters hap yet could help her neuer Whom thundring Ioue iniustlie their detaind She weip't she murnt she sigh 't she pray'd she plā'd 24. All these vow might haue sein so perfectlie That nothing els but vitall breath they wanted Whil as they seem'd to lurk so priuely Sum heir sum their in pairs together hanted They seemd to blushe when curious eyes did sie them And shrow'd their yuorie limms in fowlds to flie them 25. So Cynthia does shrood her self frome sight Of wearie Trauelers that wandring strayes W●apt vp in darkest cloud 's of silent night Yet through thin clouds oft fhoots out syluer rayes So seem'd they in those fowlds to creip vn knowne Yet shew them self vnwilling to be showen 26. Or as the stream's of crooked wynding brooks Now heighe then low now ryse then falls againe In darkest corners holes and priuie crooks Will steall vnseene Yet can not skaip the maine Each ●umbling in hudge heap's their homage does Compleaning on the Earths vnkynd refuse 27.

Those strangers stoode amazed at that sight The King to brek their silence low did moue him Vpon a bench of gold that graue great light A Pale lyk heauens-starrd'd can oby aboue him The cheifest bow'd to ground and then began To show the King who heght Andromadan 29. O thouw most mightie Prince of Iasons race Thou skourge of Paganes and of Persians pryd O thow who did by mightie strength deface Arabia foelix and the spoyls deuyd Amongst the Souldours with a princelie mynd Thy seruants come from far thy help to fynd 30.

This was the caus Ill hap our Prince let out One day the mont Parnassus for to vew Well arm'd he was both loftie strong and stout Well fauord fair and of a heauenly hew Our King Of Children had no more at all Ther was he lost and their our strength did fall 33. For their he chanc'd to vew a sacred Muse Enamourd thus he fondlie fell in loue Pre sing her deuyne deitie to abus Whose mynd from chaist desyrs he could not moue By chance a Kinght arryu'd sought withall His paine his greif his lose his death his fall 34.

Thus in this agoneizing greif he lay Long in this doungeone filthie deep and dark Fast bound in chains nor saw he sight of day And still bewaild his lyfe his chance his wrak And this his murning wo greif sorow care Turn'd vnto madnes oft and oft dispair 47. But all this tyme great wo great paine great greife Prince Doreo took for his deir Ladies death And still his mynd was bent on heighe mischeefe He sought reuenge with furie raige and wraith For in his craft his malice his despight This vitious wrong he wrought that valiant Knight 48. Whill to this gardyne I did walk he sayd I harde a sound a voyce a call a cry Ah Heauns preserue me let me die a Mayde Thither I ranne but when I come hard by The Murderer me saw and faind he fainted And fell as lyfe breath sense and soule he wanted 49.

These speeches spak Prince Doreo and with all So wo begone and sorowfull he sem'd Oft stopd by sighes and oft would tears doun fall That eury one him prais'd and much esteem'd And then the King in wraith reuenge and ire Commands Pelympus should be brint in fy●e 52. The night before this wofull Prince should dye For her he murnes on her he calls he cryes So does the lap-wing when some Sheiphird by Her brood bereaues all day all night she flies And weips and calls Yet sleips or night be past So weeps the P●ince and so he sl●eps at last 53. And in his sleep the Angell did appeir That wairn'd him from Philena for to flie And lookt on him with fearce and angrie cheir Saying Penardo O Penardo sie Ioues wraith prononced if thow not soone repent Thy wicked thoughts thy words and thy complain● 54.

And sayde Sir King perhaps my comeing may Dismay yow much yet I 'le the trueth vnfold And what my giltie conscience bids me say That none yow wrong as now it seems yow wold I beir the hand that wrought your Daughters fate Yone Knight to saue her came but came too laitt 61.

All that this warryour hard wer much amaizd And look't and mus'de gaizd and silent stoode Thought pitie in the King was neuer rais'd Yet sham'd he was to wrongd a Knight so goode And causd to lowse vnbind and set him frie And armour horse and all restoird to be 67. How soone his horse and armour he receaud They charg'd him to depairt the court and flie But
