Doubts nor the other with Fears nor I with Shame for you both you seem to be as much displeased at my Words as I am at your Actions shall we begin to tire before we begin to do For Shame let not the World have this Advantage of our Reputations If we return home we must expect to undergo a Disgrace worse than Death If we dye we dye in high Attempts who knows but the Gods may shew extraordinary Favours and smile at our Designs being we do it for our dear Father's Life If the worst come to the worst we can but dye and we had better do so than live as if we lived not but I perceive my Discourse offends I will therefore be silent Chap. IV. How Philonzo and Cruentius hearing the Discourse of their younger ' Brother Innocentine robb'd him of his Treasure and left him bound in a Wood where they afterwards lost themselves CRuentius hearing his Brother's Discourse which was contrary to his Expectations told him that he was a very rash Boy and understood not what he spoke For says he shall we cast away our Lives because the World should say we died nobly Brother says he to Philonzo are we bound to be Fools because he 's mad No let 's leave him to the Thoughts of Honour whilst you and I consult what 's best to do so walking a distance from him they sate down and began thus to express themselves Brother Cruentius I have both in this short time considered the Shame and the Danger let us endeavour to haste to Mesemptronia a City which I am sure cannot be far from this Place where we may refresh ourselves and have further Discourse But what shall we do replied Cruentius with you foolish Boy you perceive how refractory and inconsiderate he is and makes slight of that Danger which we know to be very great If we leave him questionless he will return home and incense the King against us what we shall do in this I know not but leave it to your Discretion Let 's force him with us quoth Philonzo and make him do according to our Wills if not we will threaten to kill him No quoth Cruentius that cannot be for then he will pry into all our Actions and make a Discovery at our Returns but Brother quoth he our Business requires haste let us therefore take away his Treasure and bind him and leave him in the Wood for it 's better one perish than two and if the worst comes to the worst that he should be unloosed and return home we know at our return how to perswade that what he has related is only Lies to disgrace us and by that means to insinnuate the more into Favour himself and injure us I like this Advice well quoth Philonzo let us quickly put it in Execution for the Night hastens with that returning to Innocentine they asked him what he intended to do who replied What they did not And so you shall quoth Cruentius and so both running together laid hold on him and without hearing him speak bound him and took away his Treasure and turning his Horse loose to range in the Woods they departed Thus ●●y poor Innocentine miserably bound insomuch that the swelling of his Hands and Feet made him most sadly lament his grievous Tortures But Philonzo and Cruentius having rambled up and down the Wood for the space of two Hours could by no means find the Way out insomuch that they despair'd of travelling any further that Night but having not rode a Flight-shot further it happened that a Dog having lost his Master came fawning on Cruentius who presently laid hold of him and tying him in a String followed the Dog who forthwith brought them out of the Wood and presently after to a Shepherd's House where the Dog received present Entertainment but Philonzo and Cruentius none where we shall for a time leave them and return to Innocentine whom they left bound in the Wood.

ALbertus having of late buried the Soul of his Life Lysimena his most indulgent Queen fell into extream Melancholy which as it is commonly the Parent of all Diseases so it brought him into a most tedious and languishing Sickness which caused him to make Moan both Day and Night witness the bitter Groans and passionate Expressions for the loss of his departed Consort at last being importuned by several of his Nobles and hourly intreated by his three Sons Philonzo Cruentius and Innocentine he consented to send for the chiefest Doctros in those Parts to consult about the State and Welfare of his Body which Doctors being arrived were presently conducted to the King's Chamber at whose sight the King broke out into these sad Expressions Ye are come to look upon a delining King ye may endeavour to use your Skills but I am confident your Labour will be lost Alas my Disease is too inward to be found out and if ye Cure me it must be more by Miracle than Skill If ye can Cure an almost broken Heart or repair my half-decayed Lungs or restore my near-wasted Breath then draw near But alas my Lysimena And there his Sighs denying him liberty of Speech he made Signs to be no more troubled and turning from the Company and almost from his own Senses he groaned himself into a deep Melancholy The Doctors as yet being not thoroughly acquainted with his Disease verily supposed him departing but it proved otherwise for his Sons and the rest of the Nobility informing the Doctors of his Grief desired them to use their best Endenvours for his Recovery which accordingly they did but finding little hopes of Life in respect that the Distemper of his Mind bad so much impaired the Temper of his body they only prescribed him Cordials which indeed something revived and exhilerated his Spirits but could not give the least hopes of Life in respect that Nature was much extenuated and weakened by his extraordinary Melancholy The King whether less insensible of his Disease or somewhat more enlivened by the Prescriptions of the Doctors desires two of the ablest of them to be brought unto him of whem he demanded their free and absolute Opinions The Doctors after a short Pause who having more respect to Conscience than Gain told him that they might prolong but not Cure and being about to proceed into further Discourse there suddenly came in some of the Nobility and whispered with one of the Doctors which the King perceiving demanded the Cause to which the Nobility replyed That there were newly arrived several Magicians who hearing of his Majesty's Distemper came out of affectionate Duty to imploy their Skill for his Recovery the King hearing this dismist the Doctors and admitted the Magicians who being entred and after the Performance of their several Duties applyed themselves in this manner Mo●● Renowned Sir We the most humble of all your Servants being by Report informed of your Majesty's heavy and grievous Disease have by our Industry found out a Means which though a may seem impossible to your Majesty will without question restore you to your former Health which means craving the Favour of your Majesty's Patience we shall forthwith discover Know then most excellent Prince that under the Jurisdiction of Agrippina that most famous and invincible Queen of Ivy-land there is a Golden Eagle in whom there is a secret and infallible Remedy for your Disease therefore if any of those Heroick Spirits which are belonging to your Majesty will endeavour to procure this Eagle your Majesty's Life will questionless be preserved We shall not therefore trouble your Majesty's Ears with any further Relation but leave your Majesty to the Prosecution of what we have related only we will be bold to desire your Majesty not to be doubtful for he that your Majesty shall least respect or expect shall perform this dangerous and almost impossible Design so we leave your Majesty to your most serious Considerations Chap. II.
