action of his life all the Remonstrances of the Marquess and all the intreaties of the Countess were little enough to perswade him to ask pardon and he did well to be so difficult for all they importuned him to was to no purpose the Duke found the Countess too handsom to pardon her Husband When he was departed and found himself at liberty to deliver his thoughts Ha! Savona cryed he how charming is this Countess how could you forbear boasting of her Beauty till now and knowing my inclination to handsom Ladies why have you not sollicited me to send for her to Court I did not perceive Sir there was any want of her there replied the Marquess something gravely there were so many Ladies already handsomer than she I thought she would not be desired Do you say said the Duke to him a little short there is any thing in Savoye handsomer than the Countess Yes Sir without doubt replied the Marquess the Lady you are going to visit is in my Eye much handsomer You know not what is Beauty then replied the Duke or you do not consider what you say there is nothing upon the Earth so amiable as the Countess I must have her to Turin the temerity of her Husband hath given me occasion to cause him to be arrested and his Wife will not fail to sollicite for his liberty let us haste back again to put this Artifice in execution I have no further business with the Lady I was going to see for the Countess de la Moriene hath at present the whole possession of my Soul These words were as so many mortal wounds in the heart of the amorous Marquess He conjured the Duke to remember that the Countess was his Kinswoman and not to make such a breach on the favours wherewith he had honoured him he alledged that it would be believed at Court his Credit and Influence upon his Highness was lost when it should be seen that the Husband of so near a Relation of his was treated with that rigour What he hath said of me replied the Duke ought to render him odious to all that love me and you ought to have been the first to have demanded his punishment Besides Savona the design I have imparted to you ought not to alarm your punctilioes of Consanguinity you may be sure I will do your Kinswoman no harm I will rescue her out of a Desert where she cannot but live with much trouble reluctancy I will give her the choice of all things a witty Woman ought to Ambition and if she understands how to manage her own Fortune what you look upon as the unhappiness of the Count will prove at last the Establishment of his Family As he resolved so he did he sent to the Count de la Moriene's House to apprehend him he caused him to be committed to a Tower where his greatest Prisoners were usually disposed and that he might he more commodiously enjoy the sollicitations of the Countess he retired for some time to the Castle of Thonon situate upon the Lake of Leman it being a Country-house in which he principally delighted The Imprisonment of the Count de Moriene made a terrible noise in the Court of Savoy Such as were rigid and morose condemned it exceedingly and called it no less than violence and injustice Some whose penetration was better than their Neighbours suspected the true cause whilst others who were guided by their Interest continued their respect alledging he did well to punish the insolence of that man That in the actions of Soveraigns all things were to be regarded as the Conduct of Providence that that which was ungrateful to their Subjects might have a higher cause than they could comprehend and that God Almighty would not have subjected so many to the power of one man had not he resolved to take particular care to direct him In the mean time the Countess de la Moriene repairs with all speed to Thonon as the Duke had prudently foreseen The Marquess went out to receive her and intreated she would be pleased to accept of his Appartment When she was arrived Well Madam said he you are now at Thonon the Court must be your ordinary Residence the Deserts where my Love found you out first must have the honour of possessing you no longer and the effects of your Beauty hath given you the same authority with the Duke as you had before with the Marquess of Savona only What do you mean by effects of Beauty replied the Countess and authority with the Duke Are these the marks of his kindness which make you jealous Ha! Madam replied the Marquess you are not yet acquainted with the Intrigue the Duke was in Love with you as soon as ever he saw you your Husbands offence is but a pretence to get you hither and the Count de la Moriene had never been a Prisoner but that you might be forced to sollicite for his inlargement Whenever man does for himself intend And counts the minutes tedious till it fall Nature and sense gives warning of his friend And above all things bids not trust at all However easie't be 't is prudence still To make ones own design impossible The Countess gave no Credit at first to the Marquesses Discourse she imagined it nothing but the artificial terrour of a prying Lover to whom every thing gives occasion of Jealousie and not thinking of any thing but the business she came about she desired the Marquess to present her to the Duke The Duke received her very supercilliously the better to play the part of an offended Soveraign and gave her just cause to tell the Marquess he was mistaken in his Conjecture and that an amorous Person as he had represented himself could not be capable of so much austery But not long after meeting her at the Countess of Geneva's his Sisters House he took her into a Terrace to shew her the Prospect And to speak truth the pretence was well laid for doubtless it is one of the best and most pleasant in the World The first Object which presents it self is the Lake of Leman with two or three Villages upon the side of it from whence expatiating upon certain Mountains some of them barren others more beholden to Nature but all covered with Snow it begins to abate upon the ruines of a Triumphal Arch which seem as left there on purpose to make that Prospect superlative The Countess having observed all of them with a most judicious discernment gave the Duke an opportunity as he desired himself A Lady that could not so well have distinguisht the pleasures of this Province as you have done Madam said he to her would have preferred this Prospect before the insociable Walks of a solitary Wood and yet you Madam are not of that opinion for I dare lay a Wager the Castles of the Count de la Moriene please you much better than the place where you are I am contented Sir where-ever Fortune disposes me replied the
more he exasperated his Father His Friends advised him to withdraw till the storm was over and accordingly he retired into the Province of Dauphine as some say much better satisfied with Trimouille than they could have imagined Chabannes in the mean time returned peeceably to his own House the man that had run away with him was the English Womans Husband in whose Cloaths the Count was escapt This Woman had run away from her good man upon pretence of ill usage and he being not at all consenting to the Divorce and not daring to offer any violence to the Sanctuary she had chosen he watcht her perpetually in the streets resolved to secure her whenever he met her as he thought he had done in the person of Chabannes When by the reproaches he made him the Count perceived his mistake he pulled up his Hood and the man being undeceived he beg'd his pardon and reconducted him to the Citizens house whither he was going before when he stopt him Chabannes changed his Cloaths and came immediately to Court to see how things past He was exceedingly surprised to understand their proceedings and dispatcht S. Colombe to Madam Agnes in Post-haste he prevailed upon her more by that one Message than the King had done with all his importunities She took her leave of her Covent and returned to Court illustrious and more pleasant than ever But she enjoyed not long the advantages of her restauration for she dyed not many days after The causes of her death were found to be unnatural and Monsieur Tremouille's sudden Retreat to the Dauphin at the same time made it too probable he was instrumental in the business The good King Charles was so passionately afflicted therewith he would admit of no consolation Chabannes had like to have dyed with sorrow but the Kings favour supported him He had Tremouilles place vacant by his absenting himself confer'd upon him by the King during whose life he quickly enjoyed it It is not to be imagined he was in such favour when the Prince came to the Crown he was arrested before he could escape and the Dauphin being now Lewis XI would have sacrificed him to his new Dignity had not he evaded his indignation by escaping out of the Bastille I refer the Reader to the History it self to be informed of all the Occurrences The Annals of Love observe only the more remarkable Passages and represents them without any regular Order THE ANNALS OF LOVE THE SIXTH PART ABout the same time we have spoken of before Feliciane the Wife of a Spanish Merchant who traded into the Levant being taken Prisoner by the Corsaires and her Husband slain in the fight she was sold to one of the principal African Lords whose ordinary Residence was in Tunis The African Lord became enamour'd of his Slave and finding her too vertuous to make a bare advantage of his passion he was constrained to marry her He had one Daughter by her which he called Feliciane after the name of her Mother The Mother and the Daughter begat a kindness in him to the Spanish Nation He suffered his Wife to teach his Daughter that Language as her Mother-tongue and when any Spaniard of Quality came into Barbary he lodged them usually at his own House and performed all the good offices to them he was able Alphonso Ribiero Son to Don Garcias Ribiero born in Alcantara came to Tunis to treat about the Ransom of his Elder Brother who sailing into Greece was taken by the Pirats and exchanged with certain Slaves of Barbary Alphonso was too young to be intrusted alone with so great a Negotiation he was appointed only to the Ceremonial part for there was an old Servant of his Fathers sent along with him to manage the Bargain He was received by the Father of Feliciane not only as a Spaniard but as a person particularly related to his Wife She had been at his birth and passed the prime of her years in Don Garcias House The young Feliciana and he were presently surprised with a violent inclination one for the other Nature had it seems delighted her self to prepare ways for their affection Alphonso resembled the young African so exactly and the African Alphonso that they might well have been mistaken had not their Habits distinguisht both their Sexes and Persons But Love 's no need of likeness he desplays A thousand Arts contrives a thousand ways To bedge in peoples hearts by secret turns The most unlike and the most cold he burns Nought's incombustible when he conspires No humane temper can withstand his fires Feliciana seeing her own Picture in Alphonso as he did in Feliciana she fell in Love almost at first sight their looks their manners their motions every thing in them prevented the office of their Tongue so that they were immediately advanced to their reciprocal promises Simpathy is a great promoter of such Adventures and makes a great deal of ground in a little time Great was the joy for their Love he performed his Honorary part very well he was the Priest and the Deity both But the liberty of his elder Brother was an unseasonable impediment to the Mystery Alphonso used all the Arts he could invent not to return into Castille there was not a Curiosity a man of his age could be capable of pretending but he made use of to stay but his Brother was inexorable and he must go along yet this was not without solemn promises from Alphonso to come back again in a short time if he lived and as fincere assurances from Feliciana never to falsifie that faith which she had given him Their Adieu was sorrowful and kind excess of Love was at that time in season for Love has its seasons as well as other things and is as troublesom to those whose desires are satisfied as it is agreeable where they are in their spring Alphonso being departed and Feliciana very impatient of his return many months passed and no News of her Castillan There were several Spanish Ships arrived upon the Coast of Barbary and in them some Alcantara Merchants with Presents from Don Garcias for Feliciana's Mother but no Letter nor no private Message for her This negligence startled her she was afraid she was betrayed and the first effect of that opinion being a resolution to reproach the crime to the Criminal himself she insinuated with a Master of Biscay and perswading him she would go over into Spain to turn Christian she made him promise her to land her in the Port of Carthagena The bargain made and the hour of her Embarkment arrived Feliciana put on a Suit of Cloaths of Alphonso's which he had left by accident behind him and providing her self with certain Chains of Gold away she went to meet with her Biscayen The Seas and the Winds were so favourable to her designs that she landed at Carthagena without any accident she brought a Horse there immediately and taking a Guide put herself upon the Road for Alcantara She
