him to bed he discouered vnto them howe the king had resolued to kill him for which cause Vnulfe winding him about the necke with the shéetes of the bedde and laieng the couerlet and a Beares skin vpon his backe leauing him without capp as if he were some rusticke or common drudging fellowe began to driue him out of the chamber dooing him manie iniuries and villannies so that he verie oftentimes fell to the ground Grimoalds guard whoe were appointed vnto the watch seeing al these outrages asked Vnulfe what he meant Why said he my maisters this rascal slauehath made me my bed in the chamber of that drunken palliard Partharithus which is so full of wine that he sléepeth as if he were dead without stirring and this is the cause whie I beat him and I praye you dooth he not deserue it They hearing these words and beléeuing them to be true did all of them laugh verie hartilie to heare the tidings and giuing both of them licence to depart Partaritus hasted to the cittie of Hasti and from thense went into France praising God for his happie deliuerie As soone as they were gotte awaie the faithfull page locked the door verie diligentlie remaining all that night alone in the chamber and when the messengers of the king came with commission to bring Partaritus to the pallace the nexte daie they knocked at the doore whome the page in humble maner saluted praieng them to haue patience for a while for saith he my Lord being wearie of his last iourney sleepeth now verie soundlie The messengers returning to Grimoald told him the pages answer who all inraged charged them presentlie to bring him to his presence who repairing againe to the chamber doore were in like sort once more solicited by the page to vse forbearance but they admitting no delaies cried out hastilie and hartilie tut tut the droonkard hath now slept enough and therevpon bearing the doore of the hinges they forceablie entered the chamber and sought Partaritus in his bed but found him not wherevpon they asked the page what was become of him who answered them that he was fled The messengers all amazed herewith furiouslie laieng hands on the childes bushie lock and buffeting him pitiouslie brought him to the pallace and conducting him to the presence of the king saide Mightie Prince Partharitus is fled and this caitife boy helpt to conuey him and for that cause meriteth death Grimoald commanded them to laie hands off him and willed him with a friendlie countenance to discouer vnto him the manner and meanes how his maister had escaped awaie The page told him euerie thing as it had past whose faithfulnes when the king had considered vpon he royallie offered him to make him one of his pages assuring the lad that if he would be as faithfull to him as he had shewed himselfe towards his old maister he should both be rewarded and regarded After this he made search for Vnulfe who being brought before his presence was pardoned by him and not only pardoned but commended But as where affection is rooted there no fauors can supplant it nor promises suppresse it so these two louing their maister Partarithus verie deerelie took no delight but onelie in desire they had to sée and serue him for which cause a few daies after they repaired to Grimoald beséeching him of license to séeke out their maister Whie my friends quoth he had you rather séeke out your necessities then liue with me héere in all pleasures By God replied Vnulfe I had rather die with Partharithus than liue in all other worldlie contents and delights What saied the king to the page wilt thou also rather séeke out a bannished man then serue a king I my Lorde saide he for they are bad seruants that will leaue their maisters in miserie Grimoald wondering at their confidence praising both their faithes dismissed both of them with all fauour giuing them both horsse and money to furnish and further them on theyr iourney The two faithfull seruants humblie thanking the kinge tooke their waie into France hoping to finde their maister in that place according as was appointed But Partaritus fearing least by reason of a peace latlie capitulated betwixt Dogobert kinge of France and Grimoald he shoulde be there surprised suddenlie by some sinister subtletie tooke shipping for England and hauing alreadie sailed from the shore the voice of a man was heard among the rocks which asked for Partaritus and whither he were in that ship Whereto when answer was made that there he was the voice replied Then will him presentlie repaire vnto his countrey for Grimoald a three daies hence is departed this life Partaritus suddenly returned backe commanding the marriners to reenter the harbour and as soon as he was landed he diligently sought out the messenger that had thus informed him but finding him by no meanes possible he supposed it to be some messuage sent from God For which cause poasting towards his countrey and arriuing amongst the confines of Italie hee found there a great number of Lombards who expected him with whom he entered Pauia and driuing out a little son of Grimoalds from the kingdome he was by generall consent created kinge of Lombardie thrée monethes after the death of Grimoald For which cause he presentlie sent vnto Beneuent for his wife Rhodolinde and his sonne Cunibert And being a godlie Catholike and iust man a liberall patron of the poore and father of the innocent as soone as he hadde quiet possession of the kingdome in that place from whence he fled which is on the other side of of Tesinus he buil ded a monasterie to the honor and glorie of God his sauiour and onelie defender wherein there were diuers Nunnes inclosed whom he alwaies enriched with manie very goodlie possessions The Quéene likewise builded a church in honour of our Ladie without the cittie wals adorning it with maruelous rich ornaments his page and trustie seruant returning to his court as soon as they had tidinges of his establishment were by him fauourablie intertained and richlie rewarded Finallie after he had reigned eighteene yeares he departed this life not without the generall lament and teares of the whole inhabitants of Lombardie The wonderfull dreame of Aspatia the daughter of Hermotimus the Phocencian a verie poore man who afterwards thorow hir wonderful vertues became the wife of Cyrus king of Percia and was afterwards married to Artaxerxes ASpatia was the daughter of Hermotimus of Phocis who after the death of hir mother was brought vp and nourished in great pouertie yet was not hir pouertie so gréeuous as her continencie was gratious in her infan●…ie she had vnder hir chin a great swelling which dis●…igured hir face and was a great disgrace to hir fairenesse For which cause hir father desirous to haue hir cured carried hir to a physitian who promised to heale hir for a certeine summe of money The good olde man hauing no money tolde the Physitian of his little meanes beséeching him

to stand fauourable vnto his child but the greedie wretch which was too well learned in no pennie no Pater noster told him that then he had no medicine for him for which cause the poore Hermotimus and his sicklie daughter repared home without succors Aspatia being thus ill bested entered hir chamber and setting hir glasse betwéene hir legges she gased so long intentiuelie on hir imperfection and with so manie tender teares bemoned hir wants till at last she fell asléepe where vpon a suddaine she beholde a doue changed suddenlie into a woman which saied vnto hir Be of good chéere and leaue these drug-maisters and goe vnto the dried crowne of Roses vpon Venus head and taking some of them beate thou them to powder and then doo thou but strew them vpon thy gréeuous sore Aspatia hauing

haires glorious and goldlike golden somewhat daintilie curled hir eies fierie and christalline hir nose hooked hir eares little and the coulour of hir face like vnto Roses washed in milke hir lippes

this maiden amongest a great manie others was bought by a Baron who belonged to king Cyrus who séeing that she was beawtifull and faire brought hir after a verie solemne and sumptuous supper into the presence of Cyrus accompanied with thrée other Grecian maids who were tricked and attired by courtlie dames before h●…ide to the end they might know how to entertaine and delight the king onlie Aspatia would not admit any foile for hir faire but after many refusals at last consented to put on a sumptuous habit wherein she st●…de so melancholie and blushinglie as if she thought all lookers on vnworthie to beholde hir beawtie and firing hir fiery eies vpon the ground she wept bitterlie before Cyrus who commanded the thrée other Uirgins to sit downe by him who were obsequious to his will but Aspatia fained as though she heard him not when he called hir vntill the Baron who bought hir enforced hir to sit by his maiestie Cyrus dallieng and beholding the thrée other virgines commended their countenances and condemned not their behauiour But hauing but touched Aspatia with the the tip of his finger she suddenlie cried out telling him that shee should be punished if she vsed such licentiousnesse This her behauior pleased the king whoe afterward offered to dallie with hir paps she presentlie flung from him and offered to depart for which cause Cyrus maruelling at the great mind of Aspatia farre against the custome of Percia said vnto him that had bought hir Thou hast onelie brought this mayden vnto me frée sincere and without spot these others are but counterfeits in their customes and their beawties are but borrowed not naturall Here vpon Cyrus affected by this meanes and earnestlie fixed his loue vpon Aspatia so that he forgat all other fancies addicting himselfe onlie to hir bed and beawtie Not longe after Aspatia called to hir mind the doome she had séen in hir dreame and the spéeches which were vsed and in regarde of those benefits she had receiued she erected a ●…atue of golde in honor of Uenus and annexed therevnto a doue beawtified with costlie gems offering daielie sacri●…ces to remunerate the Goddesse kindnesse She likewise sent vnto her father manie rich Iewels and made him a man of great authoritie A few daies after a faire and curious Carkanet was sent out of Theslaly in present to king Cyrus who reioicing greatlie at the same and finding his Aspatia one daie asléepe laid him downe by hir and after some amorous embracings drewe the carcanet out of a casket and saied vnto hir How saiest thou my loue dooth not this iewell become either the daughter or mother of a king yes my liege saide she whie then my loue it shall be thine quoth he discouer therefore thy neck and put it on Aspatia little respecting the rich guift reuerentlie sagelie replied thus how should I be so bold to submit my necke vnto that gift which is a present more conuenient for Parisatides thy mother Giue it hir my Lorde and I am readie to shew you my neck without any such ornaments Cyrus reioysing at hir answer kissed hir and hauing written all the manner of discourse which had past twixt him and Aspatia he sent the same with the carcanet vnto his mother Parisatide no lesse delighted with the letter than the carcanet renumerated Aspatia with rich gifts and royall presents and conceiuing a gratious opinion in that Aspatia gaue hir place shee euer after loued hir and presented hir both with the carcanet and much other treasure Aspatia humblie receiuing hir inestimable curtesies sent both the iewell and treasure to Cyrus with this message These for a time will helpe thee and for that thou art mine ornament meseeme●…h I haue obtayned a great gift if as I both should and woulde I heartelie loue thee Cyrus was amazed at this deed and not without reason because this woman had no meane minde but the courage of a great and magnificent princesse But when Cyrus was slaine in the warre which he waged againste his brother Aspatia remained prisoner notwithstandinge sought out and at the last found by the noble Artaxerxes she was deliuered of hir bonds such as had captiuated hir were committed themselues Finallie being richlie apparailed like a Princesse although by reason of the deth of Cyrus she made great resistance Artaxerxes being vehementlie enamored of her beawtie after long intreatie and comforts at last won her consent and
