Gulbeas overcome with the strength of her disease peirc'd to the quick at Issoufs illness and weakned with the violence of her Crisis could not answer those tender assurances but with Tears which made her faint away Here it was that Poor Issouf had need of his whole stock of reason to resist so much Grief and yet Act nothing that might betray the secret he was forc'd to rest contented with sighs which were attributed to his late fainting Gulbeas was long in that condition and beginning to Breath again Boullaster who fear'd some new accident endeavour'd all she could to bring back Issouf from his afflicted Mistriss He could not resolve on such a sad separation which he foresaw would be eternal He would fain have expir'd near what he lov'd yet he was forc'd to obey his Mistriss's orders who made signs to him not being able to spake and gave him her hand which he kiss'd protesting that he would not out live her All those accidents which had accompanyed so sad an enterview was not sufficient to overcome our unfortunate Lovers It happen'd that passing by one of the doors of the Seraglio where there stands Baltadges which are certain varlets from without that one of them distrusting the feigned Gevahers going which was become careless through her grief and pain fancy'd it a disguise and stop'd Issouf by the arm Boullaster whose Wit was always at hand without speaking to the Baltadgj for fear of bringing more to them drawing near dropt into his hand a ring which she pull'd of her own Finger and pressing his hand she thereby oblig'd him to give liberty to this poor Lover to get out who thought much less on the present accident then on Gulbea's troubles So soon as Issouf was return'd to his Palace he went to his Bed his Feaver increas'd and finding himself press'd with that disease which kill'd him he would employ that little time he had to live in taking leave of his dear Mistriss and to give her his last farewell I dye for you Incomparable Gulbeas and Death is the more pleasing to me because I hope that its Cause which was your Crisis will be that of the prolongation of your days I should dye without trouble had I the certain news of it The disease presses upon me and I employ that little time which is left me in giving you testimonies of a love which I shall carry to my grave happy if that last moment can better convince you then divers Years of Sighs and Tears have done Adieu all lovely live and remember that the same love which restores you to Life is the Cause of my Death No sooner had he ended his Letter but he immediately sent it with the Ring on his Finger in which his Mistriss's name and his were Ingraven on a very clear Ruby to Boullaster and was presently seis'd with a disturbance in his head and a redoubling of his Feaver which depriv'd him of his Senses and Speech which never return'd again but with the last sigh which he vented in pronouncing the lovely name of his Mistriss Gulbeas whose Crisis had put out of all Danger the sweat having Dissipated the Tumors of the Plague was more Distemper'd in the Mind then the Body Issouf's silence and Boullaster's stay from giving her an Account of all that had pass'd since their parting did strangly Perplex her and giving her sad Warnings of what was coming she felt most mortal disquiets she would Weep all Day and the Night was pass'd in Watchings or in Terrible Visions which foretold her nothing but those Dangers which she fear'd The same night that Issouf expir'd she thought that a Woman of a Prodigious height as Lean as a Skelleton and of a frightful Deformity her Hairs spread abroad approaching her with the Face of a Fury a great Knif in her Hand was opening of her side and pulling out her Heart All those Nocturnal Visions Augmented her Sorrows She had made Choice of me for her Confident ever since Issouf's adventure I did endeavour to Divert her and turn her off of all those Melancholy Thoughts nothing could Administer Comfort to her But it was much worss when Boullaster came to the Seraglio some days after Issoufs Death to acquit her self of the last Commission which he had given her So soon as she did see her she earnestly Inform'd her self of Issouf's welfare but the Jewish Woman's silence who could not dissemble nor keep in her Tears gave her easily to understand that truth which she fear'd to learn Ah! Cry'd she Issouf is no longer in being and presently fell in my Arms in a Swoon When she was come to her self again Issouf's Letter and Ring which Boullaster put into her Hands not being able to speak one word did Confirm that Sorrowful News She Divers times kiss'd those dear Pledges of Issouf's eternal Constancy Water'd them with her Tears and did hang the Ring at her Neck as a Mark that she Devouted her self to her Lover's Ghost and having remain'd sometime without Speech her Face from Pale as it was became Red and as if she were become Furious Fatal Destiny cry'd she thou Renders me my Life in killing what I Love and thou sellest me very dear that which I can no longer Love seeing that he with whom I design'd to share it is no more Why didst thou not kill me or why didst thou Conduct him here that I might be further oblig'd to him of my Life after so many Services so ill rewarded I will no longer Live after such an Accident Alas what will Life signifie to me after that he who Animated me is Dead No Issouf I design'd not to Live but for you and I should be unworthy of your Love should I have any other thoughts That Death which was to have taken me off has not spared me in taking of you It has doubly slain me in depriving me of what I Love and permitting me to Linger out a Miserable Life which shall be but a Continual Death You Live Issouf and your most happy shade enjoys at present the Pleasures of the Elisicumfields and I shall never cease Dying till I am reunited to you Then Addressing her self to the Ring This Ring continu'd she shall be henceforth the Faithful witness of my Love and seeing it could not Vnite our Bodies during our Lives it shall be the indisso lubbiletye of our Wills and the Mark with which I will appear before you I will continually wear it in my Bosom and it shall Accompany me in my Grave seeing you could not have any other thought when you sent it me at your Death than that of uniting me more strictly to you in the other World. She had continu'd and gone on further with her Complaints if the presence of our Companions had not interrupted their Course and oblig'd Boullaster to retreat The Grief for his Death brought her into a Lingering Feaver which has caus'd that Languishing Condition you see her in and of which there is
