resolv'd in this distresse Since Sydanis for three daies was t' abide Within her Chambers close retirednesse As was the custome then for every Bride Till they were past nothing should be descry'd In the meane while it was her resolution To try some powerfull Magicall conclusion 62. Which was to give a philter or love potion That should not onely cure frigidity But to that secret part give strength and motion Imparting heat unto it and humidity Both this and many another quiddity These credulous old women doe beleeve And to effect such purpose doe give 63. Amongst high horrid rocks whose rugged browes Doe threaten surley Neptune with their frowne When he at them his foaming Trident throwes Beating his high growne surging Billowes downe An aged learned Druide liv'd farre knowne For Magicks skill who in a lonely Cell As Hermite or an Anchorite did dwell 64. Merioneth posting to this Druides Cave When of her comming she the cause had told The aged Sire unto the Matron gave A liquor farre more precious than gold Of which the secret vertue to unfold It would not onely cause a strong erection But working on the minde procure affection 65. Beleeving this with joy she backe returnes And privately to Sydanis she went Who in her Chamber like a Turtle mournes She fully told to her all her intent And that successeful would be the event That Leoline those pleasures should enjoy The want of which had caused her annoy 66. Although affection which Art doth create Is nothing worth and of true love no part But lust which satisfy'd doth end in hate Yet Sydanis to palliate the smart Rather than cure the wound of her sad hart Since of two evils she the least might chuse Her Nurses councell she will not refuse 67. Heavens glorious Lampe of light that all day burn'd Was now extinguisht in the Westerne Seas To dens the beasts to nests the birds return'd And night arising from th' Antipodes Summon'd men from their labours to take ease And drowsie sleepe so soone as they repose With her soft Velvet hands their eyes doth close 68. When as the Prince the second night did lie By lovely Sydanis as yet a maid Againe in Venus warres such force to try But when that he with her in bed was lay'd And had but all in vaine all meanes essay'd Finding that his virility was gone He grievously began to sigh and grone 69. The Princesse hearing mildly pray'd him tell His cause of griefe that she might beare her part Madam quoth Leoline I am not well I feel a deadly paine about my heart Oh might it please the gods Deaths Ebon dart Er'e the approach of the next rising morrow Might free me from this world and you from sorrow 70. For while I live you 'l be unfortunate And in sad discontentment will grow old For oh my starres such is my wretched Fate I like a Miser keepe a heap of gold For no use els but onely to behold Possessing an unvalu'd treasure which Being put to use the whole world would enrich 71. But now of Ladies you most excellent Be pleas'd to heare and pardon what I say In warres to seeke a death is my intent For ere the beames of the next mornings ray I from your dearest selfe must part away And when that I am dead you shall see clearly That though I leave you yet I lov'd you dearly 72. What tongue can tell the griefe of Sydanis When as Prince Leoline without remorse Had given her his last sad parting kisse And death must them eternally devorce So that unlesse the Magicke potions force The Princes resolution did prevent She thought nought els could alter his intent 73. Therefore with broken sighs and many a teare She as the Prince was ready for to rise To speak to him once more could not forbeare Though to her words griefe utterance denyes She showing down a deluge from her eyes Which downe her cheekes in silver rivers ran With no lesse modesty than griefe began 74. My Lord quoth she your will is a command And shall by me most humbly be obay'd Which though I could I ought not to withstand But yet be pleas'd to thinke that you have layd Upon the frailty of a silly maid So insupportable a weight of woe As our weake sex it cannot undergoe 75. What er'e is writ of Grissels patience Or Roman Martia's when she lost her sonne Whose griefe was lessened by the eloquence Of Seneca by me would be out-done Nay all those Ladies that such fame have wone For manly fortitude I should out-vie Could I endure my sorrow and not dye 76. But that 's impossible it cannot be Since you who are my souls soul who instead Of longer animating it or me Will strait depart leaving me doubly dead You from my soule it from me being fled By which you shall a demonstration see Proving a humane souls mortallity 77. Now when like deare departing friends the soule And body from each other are to part The learn'd Physitian seeming to controule Th' approach of death some Cordiall gives by 's Art That for a while revives the dying part Here is a drink which if you please to tast And drink to me your pledge shall be my last 78. Prince Leoline with sighs and sorrow dry Onely to quench his thirst with it did thinke But having drunke it he immediatly Such was the force of the enchanted drinke As one starke dead into his bed did sinke Where sencelesse without motion he did lye As one new fallen into an extasie 79. Th' amased Princesse thinking he was dead Opprest with griefe she suddenly fell downe The spectacle such horror in her bred That with a shreek she fell into a swoune Which her Nurse hearing and the cause unknowne Unto the Princes bed side ran in hast Being ignorant as yet of what had past 80. And finding how these Princes speechlesse lay It was no time nor boot for to complaine To bring them back to life she doth assay And first with Sydanis she taketh paine Who after much adoe reverts againe Which being done they both together joyne Their labours to revive Prince Leoline 81. But all in vaine for after that they two For his recovery all means had try'de And finding at the last nothing would doe They thought it would be death there to abide And therefore some disguise they would provide That friended by the darknesse of the night They might the more securely take their flight 82. A womans wit which in extremities Is present and upon the sudden best For Sydanis a proper neat disguise To her old Nurses thoughts doth straight suggest Who forthwith went and opened a Chest In an out-roome neere where the Pages lay One of whose Suits shee eftsoones brought away 83. In this neat fit and handsome Pages suite No sooner was faire Sydanis aray'd But as she more advisedly did view 't Upon the sudden she was much dismaid And of her selfe began to be afraid When on the hose before a
