reigned over the Tartars He was ignorant of his birth and I had used my utmost industry and address to make him dear to you and Adanaxus to meet with your hatred or at least your indifference whom I looked upon as the only obstacle that could trouble me But yet after the precaution of so many years and the flattering Idea's I fed my self withal I have inhumanely deprived my self of him these are the effects of unconstant fortune she yet demands one more and he who has not trembled to reach the heart of his Son ought not to have any pity for his own At those words he ran a poniard up into his body and then throwing himself upon that of Themir he there expired in a moment The death and the last words of Odmar produced new causes of astonishment Tamberlain had not the power to recover himself out of his to think that he had given the whole Empire of his Soul to an impostor who had committed so many injustices against him and caused the ruine of his true Son This dreadful accident which was so great a justification to the Prince of Tanaïs obliged the Emperour to make him a publick reparation for what was past and not being able to tarry any longer in a place that was floating with such odious blood he retired to his Apartment and the generous Adanaxus after he had ordered that the wretched Bodies should be buried returned to the Princess not doubting but that the report of his death had sufficiently alarm'd her He found her in that dismal swoon she fell into at the first outcry Just Heavens cryed he seeing her in that condition shall I never enjoy a happiness without such afflicting allays those tears and the name of the Princess which he several times repeated began to make her come to her self Asteria at last opened her eyes and casting them upon Adanaxus Ah! Seignior said she to him is it you I behold Yes Madam replied the Prince Themir has met with that destiny which was prepared for me Ortobulus is revenged I am without a Rival I now need not fear any other to persecute me and for my greater joy that Themir who was so odious to my Princess by too powerful reasons was not of the blood of Adanaxus The Prince of Tanaïs who perceived Asteria began to gather strength by the joy he had inspired into her at the Relation gave her a true and full account of all the circumstances and passages of it how he had escaped death in passing through the Terrace The rest of the Night passed in confusion Asteria beheld her affection innocent the murtherer of Ortobulus was not her Lover's Brother and with a greater ease and tranquillity than ever enjoyed the pleasure of seeing her self beloved by him This accident divested Tamberlain of that cruel Meen he had before and which made him be looked upon with so much fear now all his severity with Themir had its sepulture his eyes lost their fury and put a very pleasing sweetness on his face and all those whom the address and subtlety of Odmar and his complaisances for Themir had removed from his esteem received then fresh assurances of it from him As Adanaxus only now took up all his thoughts he minded nothing but how to complete his happiness He went to visit Asteria testified to her the sincere grief he had at the afflictions he had procured her restored her all the conquests he had made in her Father's Kingdom to dispose of how she pleased and offered her the Crown of the Tartars with Adanaxus It was not possible that such a proffer as this could be displeasing to the Princess She loved the Prince of Tanaïs Bajazet had given him his esteem and she thought she could not do any wrong to his memory in marrying him but as he had left her Brothers she acquainted the Emperour that she could not dispose of her self without their allowance This reason appeared to him but just and equitable he order'd Alizanes and Calixtus two illustrious Tartars to go and find them out The impatience of Adanaxus made some little murmur at it but he was necessitated to submit to the Princess Bajazet's Sons were found on the ruines of the Ottoman Empire rallying by the help of their Neighbours such forces they thought might be sufficient to go out against Tamberlain The Letters of Asteria and the conquests which were restored put an end to that design they now were thinking only how to raise up the Throne of Bajazet which Mahomet the youngest of those Sons some few years after the death of the other brought again to its first splendour The Tartars returned having managed their negotiation with success Adanaxus's love was authorized and the mariage of Asteria recompenced his fidelity in the great City of Samarcanda where they passed away their days in a lasting happiness after so many long and tedious persecutions FINIS Books Printed for and are to be sold by Robert Sollers at the flying Horse in St. Paul's Church yard SErmons preached upon several occasions before the King at Whitehal By the right reverend Father in God John Wilkins late Lord Bishop of Chester to which is added a Discourse concerning the Beauty of providence by the same Author Syncrisis or the most natural and easie Method of learning Latine by comparing it with English Together with the holy History of Scripture War Or the sacred art Military-Illustrated in fourteen copper Plates With the rude translation opposite for the exercise of those that begin to make Latine by E.

the Princess out very grievously or else I would die with you At these words her Spirits failed her which obliged them to carry her back to the Palace without having made any conclusion and though Bajazet was sensibly touched at her grief yet did he see her go away without changing his Resolution in the least and contenting himself in putting up vows to Heaven for her he waited his death with that undauntedness which is only the partage of great and generous Souls Those who had been witnesses of Asteria's visit made a very faithful relation of it to Tamberlain and Themir without ever forgetting the obstinacy or the fierceness of Bajazet's answers But yet they made some further efforts upon him and the Princess to obtain of them the consent they desired but at last perceiving the more they were prest to it they more they shewed their stubborness and resolution the Ottoman Prince was taken from his Prison and conducted to the place were Criminals were commonly put to death All those Tartars that made any profession of vertue detested that action Axalla Tamberlain's favourite and one who was greatly renowned for his extraordinary valour used his utmost indeavours to prevent it but the Prince had a greater influence upon his Father's spirit and the unfortunate Bajazet was unworthily conducted to the Scaffold were he was condemned to lose his head But how considerable soever the person was yet was not this Imperial Majesty suffered to have any respect he went to the fatal place as if he was the meanest of all Mankind without any thing to distinguish him besides his resolution and an Air of greatness which it was impossible for all his miseries to despoil him of he was sorrowful but withal sedate and if his eyes had not in them all that vigour and sprightliness as before they lost not their vivacity from any prospect of fear or weakness The houses were desolate for all people flockt to the place of execution And that confusion having obliged a cavalier who was just then arrived at Samarcanda to demand the cause of it of some Inhabitants he no sooner understood it but spurring on his Horse with all the violence imaginable to the Scaffold he rode through the throng and came up close to it just in that particle of time as they were going to put a period to the days of one of the greatest men in the World His cryes and name suspended that fatal blow Hold cryed he out it is Adanaxus it is the son of Tamberlain who commands it of you This Prince was dearly beloved by the Tartars and they with an extream affliction resented his absence so that they solemnized his return with showts of joy which for some little time he gave way to and then pray'd the Souldiers who assisted at that action to stay till he had seen the Emperour before they proceded any further He ran to the Palace where he gave an agreeable surprise to those whom his absence had afflicted and particularly to Axalla who alwayes had a most passionate love for him Notwithstanding the difference Tamberlain had put between his two Sons the merit of Adanaxus disputed in his breast against the natural inclination he had for Themir and his unexpected sight caused in him so sensible a joy that it forced him to express it in a shower of Tears the Prince received his embraces upon his knees and continuing in this submissive posture Seignior said he to him you see again at your feet a rash man who assured of your goodness is come to demand of you a favour of the last importance 'T is not the pardon of an absence which you have not approved I am willing to be punished for it but Seignior it is the life of Bajazet for which I am here upon my knees an humble sollicitour of your generosity 'T is an Enemy of a famous name and of a blood that is illustrious who is no longer in a condition to prove fatal to you and whose precipitated loss may be a blemish to your reputation Think Seignor how happy it is to be in an estate to do favours of this kind to persons who have reigned gloriously and who are depressed meerly through the capriciousness of fortune Consider that of all vertues in Monarchs Clemency is the most glorious and deserving praise And at the name of a Son who conjures you to it signalize yours in the favours of a great though now a wretched Emperour Those words of the Prince of Tanais did not less astonish Tamberlain then his return had affected him he could not refrain commending within his breast the generosity of his Son but the importance of his demand ballanced this motion and made him remain unresolved If it was any thing perswasive to him to see prostrate at his feet a Son worthy of esteem and the uncertainty where he had passed his life rendered him yet more dear yet Bajazet contemning and rebellious to his designs kept up his indignation You ought to let me resent the pleasure of seeing you again said he to the Prince without intermixing it with the trouble to demand of me a kindness which it is impossible for me to grant you Bajazet has but too much deserved that death to which he is condemned he is an insolent Captive whose annoyance nothing is capable to maderate who never speaks my name but with contempt and who would not spare my life if he had over it that power which I have over his I have for a long time indur'd it but now my patience is quite worn out and there are so many reasons which authorize what I do that I should be blamed of imprudence or weakness should I act otherwise Whatsoever reasons you are pleased to alledge for his ruine Seignior Answered Adanaxus you yet have more to pardon him The Example you will leave to posterity the pleasure that comes from a good action and your own glory which would be deeply concerned in causing so great a Prince to fall whom his severe destiny has delivered into your hands ought to triumph over all those other considerations Think Seignior that Bajazet has not long since seen what you are at present yet the fate of Arms is capricious it may do again for him what it has done for you and if you are out of a prospect of fearing you have Sons who may one day meet with Conquerours and who may implore the same grace I now demand Do not you then give an Example of inhumanity but make some reflection upon the uncertainty of what future times may prove Tamberlain began to stagger at the pressing Reasons of the young Prince of Tanaïs he revolved in his mind the circumstances of Bajazet's fate what he had been what he was and considering that he himself was risen from a mean fortune to one of the most glorious conditions of life and that he might by some return or other fall into the last of miseries even that in which he
