Saule sought his life came into the tent of the king finding him sleeping yet durst not touch him for feare of vengeance from heauen If treason were helde in such contempt in those dayes howe ought it much more now to be despised Proceede therefore noble Prince and let the tender care you haue of these innocents whose cause you take in hand deserue such honour in the courtes of all christian Princes that no talke may be but of Galastino duke of Millaine and his honourable reuenge of those traytors that draw their swordes against their soueraigne and hauing vanquished the villaines let their punishmēt be answerable to their deserts that it may breed terrour to all such as shall euer attempt the like action and remaine to the end of all thinges in memorie towardes the performance of which of our own cost we freely allow ten thousand men well furnished for warre with all y e charge wages and what else to them belongeth besides our owne persons to attend your excellencie which shalbe readie speedily awaiting your gracious pleasures The Duke which found no lesse then hee expected at the handes of his nobles was so rauished with ioy that it amazed him wherfore yelding them such honourable courtesie as their large and friendly offer required he thus replied Noble friends on whose fidelitie our welfare consisteth Thankes for this friendship so likewise for many others past more haue you honoured me by your consent to this my fi●te then I list nowe to vtter but assure you on the word and maiestie of a Prince that your friendships shall neuer be forgotten Touching my determination for our iournie to Saxonie knowe that our purpose is by the assistance of God whome I trust fauoureth our good intent and will helpe vs according to equitie of our cause within two monethes to be ready for our intended voyage wherefore as you honour me see that you accomplishe your late offers against that time prefixed vnto whiche they faythfully promise dinner time Drawing on the duchesse aduertised the duke therof who inuited his nobles thereto where the Duke relateth vnto the duchesse of Saxonie his parlie with the nobles of Millaine with their courteous offers for the benefite of her and her children which newes was so pleasing vnto her as nothing could ioy her more hoping by that meanes the Duke her husbands children shoulde inioy their lawfull right and shee her selfe liue to see the same Thus with much pleasant parly passed they diner carowsing to their happysuccesse and fortunate iorney vntil some of them haue taken such colde in the handes that they might not stand on their feet Time that worketh al things commandeth these Nobles away e●ch making to their home wherefore taking humble leaue of the Duke and the two Duches thy depart carefull of what the Duke gaue them in charge to set all thinges in a readines against the time appointed The Nobles gone the Duke calleth his captaines and men fit for charge geuing them warrant for leuieng his power with great command that his company should bee of the best and ablest men in the Dukedome which with care they see fulfilled according to the truste reposed in them The Duchesse for whose sake those preparations were made conceiued such ioy at the same that she thought euery moneth a yeare and euery day a moneth vntil shee saw to what happy end the Dukes pretended iorney would happē vnto often commending in her heart the faithfulnesse of the Duke of Millaine to his friend In recounting whereof she shed many bytter teares for Andrugio her beloued lord and husband somtime exclaiming against both Gods and men for his losse who so dearely she loued The remembrance of whom was likely diuers times to bereaue her of life yet in the midst of her sorrowes when she beheld the yoong prince a liuely picture of the exiled Duke how often with sweet imbracings woulde she kisse the tender youth bathing his tender cheeks with teares distilling in aboundance thorow extreame griefe of heart from her eies hoping yet before death should shut those eyes of hers to see him and once against to inioy his companie The yoong prince growing to some discretion beeing thirteen yeares of age well noting the sorrowe and heauinesse of his mother would by cyrcumstances enquyre of the Duke his father of his country and the cause why hee left the same with many other questions of which when the Duchesse had resolued him made relation of each thinge which he demanded describing also at full how dearly hys subiectes loued him and in what regard they held her it would moue the prince often to shed teares wishing that his years had bene such that he might haue remembred his father and of power to reuenge his wrong vowing if it bee the pleasure of God to endow him with life so thorowly to requite those iniuries vpon the vsurping traitors that al the chronicles in the world should record the same in memorie And so comforteth his mother in the best sort hee could praying her a while to be content till God had placed him in his right whereof he hoped in short time to bee possessed Those wordes of comfort proceeding from so greene a head the Duchesse did much admyre no doubt had greate pleasure in her sonne of whom she had no litle ioy whose education was answerable to his byrth hauing learned men of all sciences to read vnto him by whome hee profited in learning so excellently that it was rare to finde any in Millaine or the whole Dukedom comparable vnto him for study and other agility of the body for which he bare the prize from al of his yeares whose conditions were so answerable to the noble Duke his father that if any man did know the one would suppose soone who the other should be Whilest the Duke of Millaine was furnishing his power newes was brought him that Flodericus one of the vsurpers had by poison brought his companion vnto his longest home to auenge whose wrongs Sextilius son and heir vnto Gonsalo deceised had gathered all his allies kindred and friends in armes and was in the fieldes with intent to suppresse Flodericus and claime in right the Duke dome in trueth and lawfull succession belonging vnto neyther of them This 〈…〉 the suddain
