perswasions could not now sink very deep into Andolocia's ●eart who was now wholly bent to recover again his Purse and his Hat and to be re●enged of Agrippina Wherefore he got as many Apples as he might conveniently carry of both sorts and requested the Hermit to ●hew him the way to some Town The Hermit brought him to a way lying towards a Town wherefore he greatly thanked him and so departed and came unto the Town where with good meat and drink he refreshed himself From thence went he to a Haven-Town not far off where he found ships that were setting forth towards London with whom he departed As soon as he was come to London he closed up one of his eyes and disfigured his face with a loathsome colour as strangely as he could devise Then went he to the Court and when he knew Agrippina should pass laid abroad his Apples very handsomly upon a fine cloath and wrapped them in Sarce●et whereby they should seem more precious and called them Apples of Damasco When many did require the price of them he held them at three Crowns every Apple so that none would buy of them whereof he was glad not meaning to sell of them but only to Agrippina At the last when Agrippina with her Ladies passed by he asked if it would please her grace to buy any precious Apples of Damasco Agrippina asked what was the price of one of them He said Three Crowns Then asked she what vertue was in them more than in other to be so dear Andoloc a answered that they would cause excellent beauty and make a sharp wit in them which should eat of them Agrippina then willed one of her Gentlewomen to buy two of them Andolocia then having accomplished his purpose put up his wares and conveyed himself speedily away And as soon as Agrippina came to her Chamber she eat her two Apples and presently two great horns sprang out of her head with great ach and pain so that she laid her down to bed When the horns were fully grown out and her head-ach ceased she felt and beheld in a glass two great horns Then called she two of her Ladies who blessed them●elves and were affrighted at that strange sight and she was so astonied with shame and grief that she could not for a while speak Then asked they how it was come to pass that her Noble Personage was so monstrously disfigured She said I wot not how but it is a just plague of God as I suppose or else it commeth of the Apples of Damasco which I bought of that villanous Merchant Wherefore I beseech you find some means that I may be rid of them Then got they privately a saw sawed them off hard by the head which she patiently endured But they presently sprang up again whereat she was greatly dismayed and pittifully lamented saying O cursed and miserable wretch that I am what availeth it me to be a Kings Daughter the richest that liveth on the Earth and to have the praise of beauty above all other Women and now to be thus monstrously mishapen like a br●te beast therefore alas that ever I was born if I cannot have speedy help I will surely by some means shorten my life One of her Ladies a Witty Gentlewoman comforted her saying Be patient a while O gracious Lady and pluck up a chearful heart for no doubt as you have gotten those horns by some cause so by removing of the same cause you may have remedy and if any earthly thing hath power to work this effect undoubtedly God hath created the like to take it away again Therefore we will send for Physitians it cannot be but that they have found written by what ocasion they grow and how they may be consumed away Agrippina with these words was comforted with some hope willing them to keep all things secret and by privy means to learn if Physick might help her Whereupon the Old Chamberlain went with speed to all the best Physitians and told them That whereas one of her Kindred had two great Horns grown out of her Head she would know whether they could by Physick be taken away or not The Physicians hearing of this strange infirmity were all desirous to see the party But the Gentlewoman said you must not in any case see her except you will be bound in great bonds to take them clean away which if you can do you shall be richly rewarded But there was none would take upon him to take away the growing of the horns for they had never seen heard nor read of the like When the Gentlewoman thought that no remedy would be had she was returned home again to Agrippina with a heavy heart How Andolocia did counterfeit a Phisitian and cured the Kings Daughter of her Horns whereby he recovered again his wishing hat and his Purse Chap. 39. AS she was coming towards the Court she met with Andolocia who being apparelled like a Physitian in an ancient Gown and disfigured with a counterfeit bottle-nose said unto her I perceive good Mistris that you have been with three sundry Physitians in my light I pray you shew me have you sped of your purpose Be not displeased that I am so bold to ask you this Question for I am a Physitian also And if you have any grief you may shew it me for it must be a very strange disease that I will not with Gods help cure and take from you The Gentlewoman supposing that God had sent this Physitian which offered himself so luckely said there is a marvellous impediment chanced to a Noble Gentlewoman out of whose head are grown two horns of a Goat which if you can take away that they spring no more you shall be richly rewarded for she hath money at will The Physitian smiling courteously said if that be the worst I have the science to rid her of her horns without any pain or smart I know well also the cause whereof they came She earnestly requested him to declare the occasion of that strange disease He said She hath been unfaithful where she professed Love and hath inwardly rejoyced at Wickedness done to her friend which joy she durst not openly utter howbeit whereas it must needs in some place of the body have an issue it is least dangerous when it breaketh out upward for if it should not be expelled it would so oppress the heart that death would shortly ensue It is not now two years sithence that I was in the King of Spains Court where an Earls Daughter of a fair and tender Complexion had grown on her forehead two great Horns which I by my science and Gods help took away When the Chamberlain had now great hope of his cunning she asked where he lodged saying that she would presently come again to him He said I am lodged here-by at the swan there may you enquire for me I am called the Doctor with the great Nose and although I have another Name yet am I best known

days in great solace with the pastime and pleasure that he conceived with the Hat and also by Hawking with Andolocia and fair Cassandra When they had thus many years enjoyed all earthly pleasures Fair Cassandra was summoned with a Grievous and Deadly Sickness to yield up her immortal Soul from the transitory and corruptible Body were it never so near whereof Fortunatus also conceived such an inward thought that he languished with a deadly consumption and an imposthumation in the head When the feeble estate of his Body put him in fear of death he sent far and near for the best Physitians that might be had but they only prolonged his life for a small time but could give him no comfort of recovery How Fortunatus on his death-bed declared unto his Sons the vertue of the Purse and the Hat Chap. 30. FOrtunatus therefore perceiving no amendment but rather that Death approached sent for his two Sons Ampedo and Andolocia saying to them My dear Children your Mother that so carefully trained you up is departed out of this world and I likewise perceive by the feebleness of my tormented body that death is nigh at hand therefore I will shew you how you may continue in honour and wealth as I have do●e until my dying day With that he declared unto them the vertue of the Purse and that it should last no longer than their two lives and also told them the vertue of the Hat and how much the Souldan would have given for it He commanded moreover that they should not part the Iewels but use them in common friendly together neither that they should make any person privy to the vertue of the purse were she or he never so well beloved unto them for so said he have I concealed it this xl years and never uttered it save now to you only With that he ceased speaking and gave up the Ghost whom his Sons caused to be honourably buried in the Minster which he had erected Ampedo and Andolocia having now left off all kind of martial Exercises and mourned twelve months for the death of their Father Andolocia having read over his fathers books wherein was registred in how many Nations he had travelled was therewith greatly delighted and earnestly moved to do the like Wherefore he said to Ampedo My dear brother that we may not pass these our lusty and youthful years together in vanity idleness and obscure behaviour let us travel into strange Countries to get experience and purchase Honour as our Father hath done a memorial whereof he hath left to us in writing which I greatly de●ight to read Ampedo answered saying Let them wander that is disposed for I mean nothing less lest perhaps as most like it is I should come into many a place where I should gladly wish me at home again So that God willing I am determined to remain here at Famagosta and to end my life in this fair Palace Then said Andolocia Sithence you are so minded let us part the Iewels Ampedo said wilt thou so transgress our Fathers commandment wotest thou not that by his last will he charged us that we should not divide them Andolocia said What need we care for that he is dead and we be alive therefore sithence we mean to part company let us also divide them Then said Ampedo Take the Hat for thy share and go whither thou wilt Andolocia said take thou it thy self and abide here thus when they could not agree for that they both desired the Purse Andolocia said Good Brother then I pray you hearken to my Counsel which shall be indifferent for us both We will privily fill two coffers full of gold wherewith thou spending at thy pleasure maist live merrily during thy Life Thou shalt have the Hat also to make thee pastime and let me only have the Purse during the space of six years wherein I will travel to purchase experience and honour And at my return thou shalt enjoy the purse at thine own use six years in like manner thus shall we not break our Fathers Will. Ampedo thinking this to be a reasonable demand was contented that so it should be How Andolocia having the Purse went well furnished unto the Fren●h Kings Court Chap. 31. WHen An●olocia had the Purse he attired himself gorgeously entertained forty tall and comely Men whom he apparelled at his own cost after the bravest manner And taking leave of his Brother he departed in a Ship of his own and sailed towards France until he came to the Haven called Aquamorte where he went on Land and passed to the French Kings Court where he was well Entertained of the King and all the Courtiers There he accompanied himself with Earls Lords and Knights for he maintained his Estate as sumptuously as the best of them Wherefore he was had in great estimation with every man attending also daily on the King as if he had been an ordinary Servant In the mean time it befel that a Challenge was made by certain Lords and Gentlemen to Iust Wrastle and leap with any one that would contend with him Andolocia advanced himself to try his force in all these Games wherein he excelled them all And in the evening when the Nobles and Ladies should dance before the King he was also called and preferred to Dance with them wherein likewise he behaved himself so well and with such a comely grace that the Gentlewomen had him in great favour delighting to recreate themselves and pass the time in his company whereof he was glad yielding unto them again pleasant communication and familiar courtesie After the Revels was ordained a Banquet whereto the King also invited Andolocia and as he sat at the Table it chanced that he was fuddenly pricked with a passion of hot love towards a fair Gentlewoman whose Husband was most familiar with him of all the other in the Court Wherefore as soon as he was risen from the Table without delay or long circumstance he rounding her in the ear offered her a thousand Crowns on condition she would grant to lye with him but one night The Gentlewoman being a Faithful and Chast Wife would not Consent thereto but presently detected the great offer of Andolocia unto her husband who said unto her A thousand Crowns would do us great pleasure and were soon earned howbeit honesty passeth Riches and the infamy that thereby to us both might ensue can with no Money be taken away notwithstanding if so be you think it good we may so use the matter to have most part of the money without destraining of your own body by this policy You know we have a fair and well-proportioned Neighbour who is nothing nice of her flesh neither refuseth any clean mans bed for money to her you may promise an hundred Crowns to lye with Andolocia in your stead and the rest may we reserve unto our selves I need no further to instruct you for a Woman I trust is not commonly to seek in such a shift The
