left her very young Vnto her fathers charge who carefully Did breed her vp vntill shee came to yeares Of womanhood and then prouides a match Both rich and young and fit ynough for her But shee who to another shepheard had Call'd Sirthis vow'd her loue as vnto one Her heart esteem'd more worthy of her loue Could not by all her fathers meanes be wrought To leaue her choice and to forgoe her vow Thi. No more could my deere Siluia be from me Cla. Which caused much affliction to the both Thi. And so the selfe same cause did vnto vs Cla. This nymph one day surcharg'd with loue griefe Which comonly the more the pittie dwel As Inmates both together walking forth With other maydes to fish vpon the shore Estrayes apart and leaues her companie To entertaine her selfe with her owne thoughts And wanders on so far and out of sight As shee at length was sudainely surpriz'd By Pyrats who lay lurking vnderneath Those hollow rocks expecting there some prize And notwithstanding all her pittious cryes Intreaty teares and prayes those feirce men Rent haire and vaile and caried her by force Into their ship which in a little Creeke Hard by at Anckor lay and presently hoys'd saile And so away Thi Rent haire and vaile and so Both haire and vaile of Siluia I found rent Which heere I keepe with mee But now alas What did shee what became of her my boy Cla. VVhen she was thus in shipp'd and woefully Had cast her eyes about to view that hell Of horrour whereinto she was so sudainely Implung'd shee spies a woman sitting with a child Sucking her breast which was the captaines wife To her she creepes downe at her feet she lyes O woman if that name of woman may Moue you to pittie pittie a poore maid The most distressed soule that euer breath'd And saue me from the hands of these feirce men Let me not be defil'd and made vncleane Deare woman now and I will be to you The faithfull'st slaue that euer mistres seru'd Neuer poore soule shall be more dutifull To doe what euer you command then I No toile will I refuse so that I may Keepe this poore body cleane and vndeflowr'd Which is all I will euer seeke For know It is not feare of death laies me thus low But of that stain wil make my death to blush Thi. VVhat would not all this mooue the womans hart Cla. Al this would nothing moue the womans hart VVhom yet she would not leaue but still besought Oh woman by that infant at your breast And by the paines it cost you in the birth Saue me as euer you desire to haue Your babe to ioy and prosper in the world VVhich will the better prosper sure if you Shall mercy shew which is with mercy paid Then kisses shee her feet then kisses too The infants feete and oh sweet babe said shee Could'st thou but to thy mother speake for me And craue her to haue pittie on my case Thou mightst perhaps prevaile with her so much Although I cannot child ah could'st thou speake The infant whether by her touching it Or by instinct of nature seeing her weepe Lookes earnestly vpon her and then lookes Vpon the mother then on her againe And then it cryes and then on either lookes Which shee perceauing blessed childe said shee Although thou canst not speake yet do'st thou cry Vnto thy mother for me Heare thy childe Deare mother it 's for mee it cryes It 's all the speech it hath accept those cryes Saue me at his request from being defilde Lett pittie moue thee that thus mooues thy childe The woman though by birth and custome rude Yet hauing veynes of nature could not bee But peircible did feele at length the point Of pittie enter so as out gusht teares Not vsuall to sterne eyes and shee besought Her husband to bestow on her that prize VVith safegard of her body at her will The captaine seeing his wife the childe the nymph All crying to him in this pittious sort Felt his rough nature shaken too and grants His wiues request and seales his graunt with teares And so they wept all foure for company And some beholders stood not with dry eies Such passion wrought the passion of their prize Thi. In troth my boy and euen thy telling it Moues me likewise thou doost so feelingly Report the same as if thou hadst bene by But I imagine now how this poore nymph VVhen she receiu'd that doome was comforted Cla. Sir neuer was there pardon that did take Condemned from the blocke more ioyfull then This graunt to her For all her misery Seem'd nothing to the comfort she receiu'd By being thus saued from impurity And from the womans feet she would not part Nor trust her hand to be without some hold Of her or of the childe so long as shee remaind VVithin the ship which in few daies arriues At Alexandria whence these pirats were And there this woefull maide for two yeares space Did serue and truly serue this captains wife VVho would not lose the benefit of her Attendance for all her profit otherwise But daring not in such a place as that To trust her selfe in womans habite crau'd That she might be appareld like a boy And so she was and as a boy she seru'd Thi. And two yeares t is since I my Siluia lost Cla. At two yeares end her mistres sends her forth Vnto the Port for some commodities Which whilst shee sought for going vp and downe Shee heard some merchant men of Corinth talke Who spake that language the Arcadians did And were next neighbours of one continent To them all rapt with passion down she kneeles Tels them shee was a poore distressed boy Borne in Arcadia and by Pirats tooke And made a slaue in Egypt and besought Them as they fathers were of children or Did hold their natiue countrey deare they would Take pity on her and releeue her youth From that sad seruitude wherein shee liu'd For which shee hop'd that shee had friends aliue Would thanke them one day reward them too If not yet that shee knew the heauens would doe The merchants mou'd with pity of her case Being ready to depart tooke her with them And landed her vpon her countrey coast VVhere when shee found her selfe shee prostrate fals Kisses the ground thankes giues vnto the Gods Thankes them who had beene her deliuerers And on shee trudges through the desart woods Climes ouer craggie rockes and mountaines steep VVades thorough riuers struggles thorough bogs Sustained onely by the force of loue Vntill shee came vnto the natiue plaines Vnto the fields where first shee drew her breath There lifts shee vp her eyes salutes the ayre Salutes the trees the bushes flowres and all And oh deare Sirthis here I am said shee Here notwithstanding all my miseries I am the same I was to thee a pure A chaste and spotlesse maide oh that I may Finde thee the man thou didst professe to be Thi.
