ill vsed a beautie in the Chest a bondage to the minde and a blot in the soule but a couple vnited by this affection for a little Fleabiting of worldly penury suck Nectar betwéene their lips cram Manna into their Bowels possesse heauen in their harts How farre Master Doctor argueth from the opinion of ancient Philosophers and famous Schoolemen these authorities witnesseth A ioy of true loue Ouid Nigidius Samocratius Petrarke and others in their life time adored Beauty with their bookes honored her by their deaths eternized her glory But for that her vertues be diuine and Maister Doctor is soyled with slannder blasphemy and mallice he is vnworthy to be perfected with one thought of her excellency which ignorance maketh him so obstinate The yonger company began to take hart in hearing of this tale so that the Gentlewomen strengthened Bargetto with good countenances for for modesties sake they were silent and the Gentlemen succoured him with their best reasons but all this hope proued but a lightning ioy for Doctor Mossenigo double enraged partly for the check he receiued partly for the countenance the company gaue his aduersary but chéefely for to beholde a new Dye set vpon a stained matter so sharpely refuted Bargetto as he had no delight to reply nor his supporter desire to succour him Quoth he Ouid dreamed of a diuinitie in beauty but neuer tasted other then a swéete venime to procéede from her He loued Iulia Augustus daughter and enioyed her but with what fortune Sundry famous Philosophers and Poets punished for their loues Cause of rash Mariages marry he was stript of his liuing and spoyled of his liberty for her sake Nigidius an ancient Romaine and in great fauour with the people for this folly tasted of Ouids fortune which was to dye in exile Samocratius was in youth so prodigall of his Loue as in age hated of his fréends he died in prison with famine And as for frantick Petrarke I feare me Madonna Laura smiled more often in reading of his follies then he him selfe did with the swéet recompences of his fancies All these were men learned wise and in their other actions for their grauitie were admired and onely for their lightnesse in loue liue to this day defamed For your other authorities your owne remembrance of their deaths shew a vengeance sufficient for the contempt of their children But where you say Beauty Loue and Frée-choyse lade the Maried with such pleasures that they endure pouertie as a Fleabiting Indéede want will so quicken them as the husband will leap at a crust and the wife trot for her dinner But suppose the best thus maried whose loues are indifferent with patience doo indure the afflictions of Fortune their agréement is no generall warrant The greater number of these Mariages are not solemnized through equalitie of liuing The couetous Marchant with no more delight heareth the passing bell of his rich neighbour which promiseth him the first loppe of his sonnes liuing then the poore Gentleman eyeth the able heire with desire to match him perhaps with his faire proud daughter Then as pleasant baites baineth Fish as counterfeit Calles beguileth foules and as Crocodiles teares intrappeth fooles to like destruction lures are throwne to lime this gallant fréendly vsage shall intice him good wordes shall welcome him curtesie shall chéere him Beauty shall bewitch him and faire promises shall altogeather beguile him Newe vessels are apt for any liquour and yong heads empty of experience are seduced with easie subtilties to be short he shal be betrothed by cunning An vnfortunate Mariage his promise once past for that in delay is danger the Mariage must be in poste haste and the misliking at leasure but in most of these matches the sorrow beginneth before the solemnity of the Mariage endeth The father hearing of the indiscretion of his sonne galleth his hart with gréefe the mother spoyleth her eyes with teares and the fréend occupieth his tung in bemoning of his kinsemans folly There is yet a further sorrow bitter to the father and vnbeneffciall to the sonne The father that thought to bestowe his daughter with the Mariage money of his sonne is forced to diminish his inheritance for her aduauncement and by this meanes the ioy which begun in the beauty of his wife is like to ende in the beggerye of himselfe and since these vnsauery effects growe from the vertue of beauties diuinitie let Mounsier Bargetto burne in his heresie But Doctor Mossenigo will holde himselfe happie neuer to be warined by her fire Bargetto had not a woord more to say A Gentleman in his reuenge ought not to offend a ciuill company but angerly looked vpon his swoord with a countenance that promised vengeance vpon the Doctors blasphemous tung had he not béen staied with a reuerent consideration of the company In the end because Maister Doctor should not be too proud of his conquest nor Bargetto ouermuch apalled with his defeate quoth Segnior Fabritio Iudge of the controuersies in a single controuersie the argument of the one is to be allowed as truth and the cauilling of the other to be reiected as error but for that this hath béene a double contention as in defence and reproofe both of Beauty and Frée-choise of mariage Madona Isabella and I pronounce sentence with Bargetto in the behalfe of Beauty for Beauty is a blessing and if she worke euill effects in some their naughty disposition and not Beauty is to be blamed and with Doctor Mossenigo we likewise giue iudgement in reproofe of rashnes in Mariage This iudgement pleased Quéene Aurelia and the whole company who were glad that they were thus forewarned of the inconuenience of Frée-choyse in Loue which they a little fauoured but yet were moreglad of the triumph of beauty whom they all affectedly honoured Vertue commendeth heselfe and therefore quoth Quéene Aurelia good wine néed no Iuie Bush fine Marchādise are sold without a Signe and beauty is sufficienly commended by her own excellency and therefore we will spare Bargettos ready seruice vntill oportunitie present further imployment But for that your triumph shal haue his full right we licence you to tel some one historie to confirme your reasons The Doctor glad of this liberty who although he had receiued no disgrace yet he repined that he had not that whole honour of the disputation determined in his history a little more to nettle that fauourers of beauty with which intent vpō Quéen Aurelias commaundement he reported as foloweth The History in reproofe of rash Mariages reported by Doctor Mossenigo BEsides Capo Verdo in times past the capitall Citie within the kingdome of Naples sometime dwelled a forward yong Gentleman called Marco Malipiero Beauty half a Dowry in a woman the sonne heire of Caualiero Antonio Malipiero in his youth renowned for many valiant seruices This yong Gentleman in the pride of his youth became inamoured of a most faire Gentlewoman named Felice the Daughter
