leade a hellish life Of this Melissa glad herselfe did show But small it durde being author of this strife For I her hated so for this my ill That her In'er would see and so do still She taking this my hate impatient Whome she to loue more then her selfe did faine Where Lady of my heart incontinent She thought in place of th' other to remaine Not for to haue her griefe so nigh she went Heauie from hence because of my disdaine And from this country wandred she so far As after neuer newes I heard of her Thus saide and ceast the wofull Caualiere Who liude in anguish to his latest day Too late repenting that his louely Pheere Through folly his he forst to go her way A caueat good for iealous heads to beare In minde lest for their paines they finde like pay To whom I wish such lucke as had this Knight And to their Wiues like change for their delight Siena 28. di Lulio 1592. THE SECOND TALE Cant. 43. Stanza 73. beginning thus Gia su di questa Terra vn Anselmo di famiglia degna WIthin this citty dwelt not long agoe One calld Anselmo of rich family Who Studient like his youth did spend to know The Laws which Vlpian taught most curiously At last he sought a wife which wel might show His match for birth for fame and honesty And one by chance not farre from hence he found The fairest Wench that euer trod on ground With sweete behauiour such a heauenly grace As she did seeme al Loue and Amorousnes And for his state perhaps too lustie was Whose yeeres good man craude not such youthfulnes No sooner had he her but he did passe For iealousie that tong cannot the same expresse Not that she gaue him cause so for to care But cause she was so wittie and so faire In this selfe Citty was a worthy Knight Of ancient stocke and honorable race Who did descend from that same Linage hight Which sprung from out the iawes and Serpents face Whence Manto with many a worthy wight That Mantua built are comen in like case This Caualire Adonio had to name Who fell enamored of this daintie Dame And for to gaine her loue in princelike wise Without all reason he beganne to spend In rich Attire in Feasts in strange Deuise Or what to make him famous more did tend Tiberius themperors gold could scarce suffice For charges such● although t was without end So as I guesse scarse passed were two yeere But that consumde both land and liuing were His house which was before frequented so With troupes of fained friendes both night and day Al desolate remainde when once the show Of Phesant Quaile and Partridge did decay And he which captaine of the crue did goe Before behinde the doore as now doth stay And seeing himselfe by spending thus orethrowne He thought to go where n'er he should be knowne With this intent one morning early he Without leaue taking leaues his natrue home And with salt teares and sighes most heauily Along the citties moated wall doth rome Nor can he Lady his from memory Let slip a cause of second griefe and mone When lo from greatest ill a sodaine chance To greatest good vnlookte for him doth vance He seeth a country Clowne with cudgel great Belaboring in the field a bush amaine Wherewith he stayes and why he so doth beate That vncouth place demaundeth of the Swaine Who answers that within that hedgy Set An old and hugie Snake did there remaine So great and long as nere he saw before In all his life nor thought he see should more Affirming thence he would not wend his way Before that he had found and killd her there Adonio when he heard him so to say No longer patiently those wordes could heare For vnto Snakes a fauour bare he ay And for their Armes his House the same did beare In memory his Predecessors came Of Serpents teeth ysowne by Cadmus slaine And so much with this pesant did and said That gainst his will he left that enterprise So as the Snake slaine was not or more fraid Nor hurt or sought for more in any wise Adonio after so his iourney made As none nor him nor his estate descries And in great neede and griefe of mind doth beare His countries absence almost seu'n whole yeare Yet neither distance far from cittie thence Nor wretched life he did sustaine through neede His wandring thoughts from ancient loue could fence Which still afresh within his heart doth breede And him doth force againe to his louing Wench To turne his eyes on beauty hers to feede With bushie beard sicke cheere and ragged weede His way from whence he came he takes with speede Meane time it hapt our Citie had to send Bout busines great to the Pope an Orater Who on his Holinesse should wait and tend How long none knew this sute for to prefer The lots cast t is the Iudges lucke to wend A dismall day for this Ambaslater He faines excuse prayes giues with promise moe To stay at home but forc'te he needes must goe Not vnto him so cruel had it beene And he supported had with lesser griefe His bowels ripped forth for to haue seene And bloody heart torne out without reliefe Through iealous feare with visage pale and leane In absence his his Wife he doubteth chiefe Yet in best maner with sweete words most trim He prayes her she will true be vnto him Saying a woman neither Fauour faire Nobility nor Fortunes worldly wealth Famous can make and in truth nor care If chaste in life she be not of hir selfe And that such Vertue alwayes triumph bare Which being forc'te yeeldes not for life or Pelfe Great proofe whereof whilst he should absent be He said he haue should of her Chastitie With these and such like speeches to the same He her persuades that she would constant dure For his departure she doth waile amaine And of her faith she weeping doth him sure Swearing the Sunne first darkened shall remaine Before she once wil staine her Honor pure And that shee 'le bide to die a thousand time Than once be spotted with so foule a crime Although he at her vowes and promise sweete Some credite gaue and quiet was in show Yet leaue he did not further for to seeke Cause for to haue indeede to waile and woe A friend he had for cunning great none leeke Of things to come the certaine to foreshow Of Sorcery Lots casting Magicke Art All knew he or of all the greatest part To him he goes and prayes him take the paine By his rare skill the truth to him to show If that Argia so his Wife had name Should whilst he broade were honest be or no Whereto he strait agreeing intreated so His Compas takes the Poles he measures plaine Anselmo leaues him studying and next day For answer of him takes his ready way Th'astronomer not for to tell what might The Doctor gall kept silence for a while And sought
