But to see in the midst of joy and delight what suddain Eclipses at which the world not a little wondred overspread the bright sun-shine of infant bliss for Guy tuminating over the past actions of his life began seriously to consider with himself what an ocean of blood he had waded through to purchase his beauteous Bride for which being smitten with remorse of Conscience he fell into a deep Melancholy and often retired in private to vewail his sins committed against Heaven saying That to gain honour renown to please a woman he had provoked the just incensed God of all the Earth and that his crimes were many great and grievous and that without speedy Repentance they would prove his eternal ruine with many other feeling expressions of deep sorrow and contrition so that his warlike eyes that were wont to sparkle fire now flowed with briny Tears whilst sighs and groans declared the agony he strove under Which Phaelice one day having watched him to his retirement observing him in submssive wise entreated to know the cause of so suddain alteration saying if she had any waies offended she would upon her knees beg pardon and be sure for to transgress no more in the like nature and with that she tenderly wept whose Tears Guy not being able to behold raised her in his arms and began to comfort her saying weep not bright Angel thou fairest and divinest of thy sex in whom alone such vertues dwell as can equal the best of women dwelling on the earth No my adoared Mistress t is for my boundless sins that now turn back upon my Conscience in their native ugliness and vile deformity whose numbers are as
was best to do till the Duke of Lorain burning with Emulation pricked forward his proud steed and coming towards Guy said Sir Knight to me unknown whom Fortune has hitherto been pleased to favour think not to bear these Trophies of honour hence for they of right belong to me so saying he couched his Launce but Guy met it with his sword and at one blow cut it in sunder like a Reed then charged upon the Duke who strait began to stagger beneath the waight of his fierce Arms making but weak resistance so that at a fifth blow Guy broak his Helm and bruised him sore at which he cryed for quarter saying hold dread Champion for I yield nor is there mortal power that can resist thy force I will no more with thee contend for woman-kind whose strength is so much more then man I yield and do confess thou art my Conquerour this said his servants bore him thence After this Havock made among the French and German Peers none durst approach the List nor talk of Comâ—ating with Guy which the Emperour pereerving sent a Knight for him with whom Guy went and humbly saluted the Emperour and the fair Printess who sate under a Canopy of State on his right hand to Guy the Emperour thus began Renowned Knight tell me what place was first made happy with the birth for sure that Countrey must he proud of such a worthy man to whom Guy made answer May it please your Imperial Majesty your faithful servant first in England drew his breath England my Native Soyl from whence I long have been detained in toiles of War surely said the Emperour that place must he impregnable that has such a Bulwork as thou for to defend it great Alcides thou hast sure undone Hector's Arms could not with thine compare thou ever hast deseeved my praise redoubted Knight nor canthe breath of Majesty enough proclaim thy worth take there the Virgin thou hast won accept her though she is unworthy of so brave a man and with her ask except my Diadem ought in my Empire and sle freely grant to whom Guy bowing low returned all humble thanks and excused the praises that he breathed upon him at which the Emperour gave Guy a Jewel and departed leaving him and the beauteous Lody to discourse of Love alone when Guy after due reverence done addressed himself in this manner Fair Angel in whom Natures chief Perfections shine on whom not without besert the has bestowed her choicest savours most worthy to be abored and admired command your servant to try his obedience in whatsoever your Princely thoughts think fit to which with a modest yet Majestick Grace the Princess thus replied Renowned Sir these praises are not mine t is I must serve you now seeing your Sword hath won me since such is my Fathers pleasure therefore forbear these Exrasies least your words should make me blush and so betray the weakness of our loving Sex At which Guy half o'rcome with Love a while stood mute and had been surely conqueâ—ed by her prevailing eyes had not his vows to Phaelice made come fresh into his mine whereat he reassumed his manly vertue and drove assayling passions headlong â—ach and after reâ—ollecting thus he answers Fair Lady in whom is lively stampt the Image of my Love in thy fair face my Phaelice now appears although my sword has purthased thee with wounds pet all I can do is but to be your servant for know my hearte'r I beheld your beauty in England was linked too fast for any separation except by the Tyrant Death that Enemy to Love I have said he a beauteous Lady not unlike to you to whom my vows are passed never to be recalled I had not thought that earth could have afforded such another but in beholding your perfections I acknowledge my mistake for her I roam the world about to search where Mars's Tents are spread in bloody Battels and in Combats great and hazardous to venture all the slock of life that Nature lent me so that if I through danger can escape her promised Love is the fair Lawâ—el that must crown my toyl at which he ended And the Princess fetching a deep sigh thus began I see said she that Vallour dwells not in thy brest alone but thereby Vertue Reigns which makes thy worth the more sure most happy must that Lady be to whom such vows are made and your constancy appears so just and sure I shall not dare to break the sacred by of Oathes that link your distant souls though I could with at which the stopt and turning sighed while blushes dyed her Rosy Cheeks and all the Lillies were quite put to slight then turning again she said most honourable man here take these Jewels and presant her with them from me who must enjoy a bliss I dare not think upon Icast prevailing passion should too great a Conquest gain over my frailty so saving she after having received Guy's humble thanks departed the place not longer being able to surpress her Love Guy after leave taken of the Emperour to whom he made his Love to Phaelice known and the cause of his undertaken-travels and hardships was by the Emperours command attompansed to the Sea-side by all the Nobility of the Court where imbarquing he set Sail for England as now hoping Phaelice would open her willing arm to receive the Hero that had bought her Love so dear Where

Sr. Herauld Sr. Edfrid and Sr. Martis who had entered into strictest Friendship with him vowing to live and dye in adventuring for his sake He landed after two dayes Sail in France where in search of Warlike business they crossed the Country but finding no enterprizes worthy of their swords they bent cowards the Emperours Court where Guy doubted not but to imploy his Arm and gain the Fame he thirsted for but the gerat Duke of Tuscany Orion by name hearing of Guy's approach supposed he came to deprive him of fair Blanch the Emperours daughter into whose Favour â—nce Guy's departure he had insinuated himself many wayes excusing the foils he received by the English Knight and therepon picking sixteen of the best and stourest Souldiers he had in his Castle he gave them Order to Arm themselves and lye in Ambush in the Wood near to the Road where Guy must pass be-before he could come to the Court and as soon as they see him to fall upon him and after they had killed him to bury him in the Wood that so the Fact might not be known To this command of their Lord they Redily consent not knowing what man â—er of man they had to deal with so that placeing themselves behind a thicket of Trees they had not long waited before they saw Guy and the other three come rideing toâ—ards them regardless of any such Treathery no sooner was they within Reach but the Russians durst from their Ambuscade and charged upon the English Heroe's Crying Kill kill at which Guy and his three trusty Knights began to wonder what it meant but long they wondered not before they drew their Glistering stoords Courage said Guy my Friends these Villains shall pay dear for this affront with that he frowned with such a look as when the Skyer over cast with black Clouds portend dread Storms and Tempest through the devious Ait and then let â—â—y with such force and rage as all that his Sword touched fell slain or wounded on the Earth Armour all in pieces cut Helms and Helmed Heads lay scattered on the place so dreadfully he layed about that in short space ren of them lay breathless but casting round his Eyes he saw the remaining six had so fiercely combated his three companions that two of them were slain and Sr. Herauld all besmeered with blood which flowed from Gapeing wounds at which Guy thus expressed his Ice Villains whose lives fate has designed a sacrifice to my revenge let the Knight rest and combate me what do my Eyes behold two of my dear Friends who left their Native Land for to accompany me silenced by Death and the third more dear then they mortally wounded This Villaines is the last vile Acts your hanvs shall ever do with that he charged upon them with such force as for exceeded Hercules when he the Centaures flew and in short space cut five of them in pieces the sixth upon his knees begged life and did confess who had imployed them and to what intent whereupon Guy withheld his dreadful Arm but it was too late for the miserable man only lived to tell the treathery and dyed thorough his Excessive Wounds after which Guy not unmindful of his murthered and wounded
numberless as sands on the Barrachian shores the flower of youth and strength I have vainly spent puffed up with sond imaginations and the love of thee in a red Sea of blood have I sailed about the world and with this hand laid thousands silent pale in deaths cold Tombs who else might now have been alive but thou art innocent of such impieties t was fortunate success and my ambition that prompted me to such extream ills the which I now with Tears lament and must to Heaven make satisfaction for a long and weary Pilgrimage unto the Holy Land I have resolved to take my vows are past and shall not be recalled therefore my lovely Phaelice weep no more t is to the holy Sepulchre I 'l go and see the place where my dear Saviour for sinful mans redemption humbled himself so low as to abide in after his having taken our nature upon him and where he suffered and laid down his precious life for us unworthy miserable wretches who make it our chief ends to disobey his will So saying he sighed and groaned within himself at which Phaelice again bedewed her beauteous face with Tears the which he smothering with a Kiss and thus mildly did procaed alass my fair one for thy sake I could willingly stay at home but for the sake of my immortal soul more dear I must perform my vows live chast my Phaenix like the Turtle Dove and win immortal praises by thy vertuous life Remember the Renowned Women of former times as Penellope Edilfridia and Edilthrudis with many others who after being marryed accounted Chastity their greatest pride contemning all desires of marriage bliâ—s I know thou art so much composed Divine that thou canst equal if not excaed them all for sure it is t was for thy sake and to procure thy Love that I trampled upon Crowns and Scepters forcing Princes and Potentates to yeild their breaths though I must confess the fault was only mine and thou art innocent but alass too long I delay to make satisfaction For my guilt Armour lye there and all my Conquests he forgot in a Pilgrims weed I now will Travel the world with weary steps Come my dear and gentle Phaelice deliver me thy Ring and take thou mine the Pledge of our dear remembrance and Love the which beholding though distant many miles divided by rough Waves let us think on each other and if e'r I return to see this my Native Land I le send it thee that thereby thou maist have knowledge of my arrival he had no sooner ended but drowned in tears that burst from her starry Eyes she wrung her hands complaining against her cruel Fates thus soon to seperate her from her Lord begging on her knees his stay but finding his resolution fixed too deep to be removed she unwillingly consented promising to have him ever in remembrance injoyning him the same by her so unknown to any she accompanied him to the Ship in which he was to pass for Iâ—ally and there with a thousand endearing Kisses took her leave of him not knowing where she ever should behold him more and so with sad and heavy cheer she return'd to Warwick Castle where for a while we must leave her and follow Guy into Itally where suffering many storms at Sea he arrived safe and Landing only with a staff and scrip travelled over the Countrey pensive and alone passing many a wild Forrest and Desart place till having gone about two hundred miles close by a murmering Brook o'r spread with Poplars and Osiers he espyed an aged Knight sitting and greatly be wailing his misfortune Crying alass what now but woe and misery which nought but Death can put a period too cruel was the Tyrant thus to bereave me of all my Sons not leaving me so much as one for to support and comfort me in my deelining age Nay more what horrour seizes me to think the miseries they endure by his Tyrannick rage their deaths are lingring but mine shall not be so With that he drew his Sword and being about to fall thereon Guy stepped to him and hindred the intended violence saying Reverend Sir make known to me the cause of this your grief that has driven you upon such despair if it lye in the power of man to right your wrongs perhaps I may be the man that will reverse your woes At which the Knight fixing his eyes on Guy with a deep sigh thus spake Alas Pilgrim thou art not able to give case unto my grief 't is death alone must cure my plaint be not so rash said Guy but tell the cause you know not what hidden force these Arms contain why then said he kind stranger since you will understand my misery know that yonder Castle large and strong dwells one Amarant a Gigantiek Tyrant of such a monstrous size as Earth I think never brought forth before who feeding upon humane flesh seizes all that pass these Woods and either dead or alive bears them to his horrid Prison in which not only of Gentlemen but tender Ladies he at this time holds Captive at least one hundred the Women for his Lust and the men for his pastime put to various tortures my only daughter unadvisedly straying this way was taken by the Monster upon which my fifteen Sons desirous to rescue her went Armed to fight against the Tyrant but not being able to withstand his force were all taken Prisoners whose Lives I hear for their sisters sake he spares but every day devises for them new torments now thou hast heard me out what thinkst thou have I not cause enough for death To whom Guy thus Replyed Alass Sir I pitty you yet am glad I came so luckily to save your Life and free your Sons if yet alive could you perform so meritorious a work said the Knight with humble thanks to you I de kiss the ground and bless this happy day but I fear t is altogether vain for to attempt for many have whose Skuls lye scattered round the dreadful place Fâ—ar not said Guy lend me but your sword and Armour I le try that fortune which has never turned against me yet whilst you stay here and pray for my success So saying he departed and coming to the Castle Gate thundred at it so loud as made the hollow walks to eccho at which the dreadful Giant reused came forth Armed from head to foot bearing a weighty Club some six foot long and seeing Guy stared on him with Eyes that seemed to sparkle like fire saying sirrah how durst you thus presume to hinder my repose know you not t is death for to approach this place much more to be so bold it may be so said Guy were your arms equal to your will but it was to seek you that drew me to this place know Tyrant t is not your monstrous size I dread to which the Gyant storâ—â—ing replyed to an ill purpose aâ—t thou come for with thy flesh will I feast the Fowls of the air whilst my self
thus expressed himself Alas my Love I see thou hast well obeyed my will in every point with joy since my return I oft have heard thy praises told how vertuous and chact thou hast remain'd and above all took pleasure to releive the poor my self disguised having received Alms from thy hands unknown It was I that free'd England from the cruel Danes and ever since have had my Lodging in this Cave oft fed on Roots and drank Water from the Brook shedding tears for true Repentance for my crying sins and now have made my peace with Heaven he would have proceeded but she interrupted him and fetching a deep sigh cryed Ah my dear Lord and could you be so cruel to your mournful Phaelice thus long to conceal your self from her that with such earnestness enquired after you but in vain no news of you e'r reached my longing Ear Alas said Guy it was for the welfare of my immortal Soul that I made not my self nor solitary dwelling known nor should I now have done though Heaven knows I love thee above all earthly things had not this mortal sickness seized me and according to my promise I desired to embrace thee once before I dye weep not my Love t is but a short space and we shall meet in Heaven never to be seperated more this being no sooner said but a fit of his Disease seized him he fell into a swound whereupon she with much rubbing and sprinkling of water in his face with the assistance of the Travellor brought him to life again then sending for her servants ordered them to fetch all manner of Cordials and would have removed her Lord to his Castel but he would in no wise consent to it saying he had chosen that silent place quietly there to resign his breath the which he did accordingly in two daies after commending his immortal soul into the hands of his great Creator leaving her sole Possessor of all his worldly Goods to dispose of them as she thought good during which space of Life she would not leave him but warched with him in the cold Cave and no sooner perceiving his immortal soul had taken slight but she cryed Ah cruel death then wilt thou let me slay no I will but follow my dear Lord to his Eternal place which said she in the height of Distraction beat her snowy breasts tore off her golden hair and mangled her face and had done greater violence had they not restrayn'd her then embracing the dead Corps she fell into a swound which her servants perceiving conveyed her with the body of her departed Lord to Warwick Castle Long it was not before the fame of Guy's death that great Champion of the World whose equal Europe could never boast of since or before spread through the Land whereupon the King and Queen left York and came to Warwick to give order for the Burial of so Renowned a Subject and like wise to comfort his of consolate Lady but could not effect the latter for she shun'd all converse delighting more in solitary Darkness than in Light refusing either meat or drink for three dayes space in the mean while Guy's Corps by the King's order was Imbalmed aâ—d all the Castle hung with mourning to the ground but while they were sumpteously preparing for his Funeral the Countess through extream grief fell into a violent Fever of which in despight of Art in a short space she dyed and breathing out her Soul cryed now my Lord with joy I come to enjoy thy company for ever in bright Mansions far above the Starry Skies This renewed the former Grief throughout the Nation each exclaiming against the Tyranny of Death who had bereaved them in so short a space of the most Renowned pair the Nation ever bred the one for Matchless Deeds in Arms the other for matchless Beauty and Vertue The King gave order to Erect a spatious Monument over the Tomb designed for them on which was Carved Guy's Noble and Heroick deeds with both their Images lying as it were a sleep whilst Angels strewed Roses and fragrant flowers around them and placed Garlands on their heads The time of the Solemnity being come all the Nobility in England in Mourning attended the Beirs the King Queen being chief mourners whilst the Trumpets sounded dolefully before them and the Priests their Requiems Sung their bodies were laid hath Tombe and this Cpitaph was infixed c.
