followed the action and rigor occupied the place of iustice In this desperate moode and as it were more then halfe bereued of his sences he left Moderna for deade betaking himselfe for euer to liue in this solitarie desarte dispising humaine societie acompanied onely with the beastes and birdes of the forrest delighting himselfe in nought but in soure discourses his muse affording nothing but lamentable laies and leauing him here to speake of other matters You must vnderstand that more then thrée yeares before passed Belizarius king of Calipha was deceased leauing to inherit his kingdome his onely daughter Valeria being then not aboue thirtéene yeares of age in whom nature had striued to bestow her brauest perfections and vertue no lesse vouchsafed to furnish forth with presidents This yong Princesse the king at y e tune of his death cōmitted to the gouernment of the quéene his wife and mother to Valeria called by the name of Eriphila a lady a greate deale more vertuous then fortunate for not long after the death of the king she married againe with Brianto duke of Doletta a man of great ambition practised in all mischiefe and most shamelesse in his demeanures It fortuned at this very instante that this young Princes acompanied with the quéene her mother with Brianto the duke many other nobles had béene a huntting in this forrest their sportes beeing ended as they were trauellinge home-wardes towardes the Cittie Sara they found Moderna lyeng by the side of the way dead as they supposed and some of them alighting from their horsses finding her to be wounded and perceiuing it to be newly donne one laieng his hande on her brest to féele if shée had béene colde hee might perceiue her harte softly to beate being then assured that there was life remaining in her craued the helpe of the Ladies to reuiue her who hauing in their companies men well experimented both in Phisicke and Chirurgery they recouered life in her againe though not able to make them vnderstand the manner of her misfortune the quéene Eriphila caused her to be brought into her owne cotche and comming to the courte where she had a most precious balme dressing her with her owne handes within fewe daies she was perfectly hole of her hurt though not altogether eased at the harte not knowing what was become of her dearest friende Brusanus neither durst shée enquire after him and the rather to kéepe her selfe vnknowen she chaunged her name from Moderna to Calinda the which name for the time my selfe will likewise vse Calinda thus remaining in the courte attendant of the quéene Eriphila rested her selfe in this hope that in time she might either heare of Brusanus or Brusanus should heare of her The younge Princesse Valeria being now betwéene 16. and 17. yeares of age was wooed by many great Kinges and Princes but al of them stil cunningly delaied of by this duke Brianto who beeing married to the quéene mother to Valeria and therefore chosen protector and gouerner of the kingdome of Calipha till the Princesse should be married pretended so much as in him lay both to kéepe her from marriage and to put her by the kingdome which beeing foresene by others of the nobillity they so wrought in the matter that a day was apointed of a generall Iuste wherein that Prince that coulde most valiently demeane himselfe shoulde haue for his prise the yong Princesse Valeria she for her doury the kingdome of Calipha By this time Antipholus the Prince of Illeria who had vndertaken the persute of Brusanus and his sister Moderna was come into the borders of Calipha who vnderstandinge what preparation was made by so many gallant Princes he determined with himselfe to try his valor amongst them the which he intended rather for his owne exercise then for any desire he had to the prise hauing as yet neuer séene the Princesse hee therefore spéedely repairing to the Citie of Sara prouided himselfe of all thinges best beseeming his honour The third Chapter How Antipholus demeaned himselfe in the Iuste he winneth the Princesse who most willinglye surrendereth herselfe he leaueth her for a season following his pursuite of Brusanus to Constantinople IT woulde aske his héere a very long time if I shoulde discourse at large of euery particuler as first to signifie the seuerall Princes accompanied withe such troupes of armed Knightes that it séemed the mightie host of Alexander when he tooke in hande the conquest of the world then the riches and brauery of their fortunes with their straung and quaint deuices the numbers bothe of lords and ladies that came from diuerse farre and straung countries but to looke on and beholde the manner of these enterprises the beautie and brauerye of the ladies and gentlewemen amongst whome Valeria shewed no lesse maiestie then the moone in perfecte clearnes amongst the dimmest starres and it were ouer-long and nothing to my purpose to set down euerie mans particuler actions to discribe how many speares were crushed howe many hardye knightes were borne to the grownd both man and horsse and how many wonderfull exploites of chiualrie was that day performed sufficeth this that Antipholus entering the listes amongst the rest and casting vp his eies to the scaffold where the Princesse Valeria sat accompanied with many other ladies he was greatly abashed to see her beautie which he iudged to be more heauenly or aungelicall then humaine or earthly this sodaine aspects had as sodainlie kindeled such a flame in his brest that I can deeme no lesse but it both fortified his strength and courage for Antipholus so demeined himselfe against al cōmers that as manye as did beholde him both wondered at his valor and praised his vertue and thus he continued from the first to the very last the heraulds with the hole company of lookers on adiudged him the most worthy of all the rest yet was there no man that knewe what he might be but they all concluded that if his birth calling were answerable to his valiaunce prowesse that there could not be wished a more honorable match for the Princesse Valeria her selfe beating into her head the remembrance of his noble actes and hearing the opinion of the standers by was desirous bothe to see and knowe him that had now so great an interest in her Antipholus againe makeing hast to challenge his dewe came before the Princesse where vnlacing and putting of his helmet he kneled downe humbly kissing her handes proffering his further seruice in any thinge wherein it pleased hir to imploy him and hauing nowe made himselfe knowen to the hole presence hee further added thus much to Valeria and although excelent Princesse I must confesse mine owne merrit to be nothing in comparison of so great a benefit which I hope to attaine vntoo rather by the vertue of a gratious consent then other-wise by any thing of mine owne desert yet being incouraged by your owne conditions openlie proclaimed at the begining of the Iustes and being intituled
