ridinges of it he will die for anger and despight and therwith pulling out the dead hawke from vnder his cloke he deliuered it vnto his wife charging her to cause it to be dressed saying that hee would feede vpon it for the Marques sake Theodore hering her husbands words and seing the dead hawke made great mone and turning towardes him began to reproue him for the offence he had committed I maruaile qd shee how you could finde in your hart to commit such a trespas against my Lord Marques that beareth you so great good will he hath alwayes bene ready to pleasure you in anye thing that you would requyre of him appointing you alwais the place next to his owne person Alas husband you haue hereby wrought our vtter ruine It by il hap the Marques haue the least inkeling in the worlde that you haue done this e 〈…〉 l deede what shall become of you surely you shal be in great daunger of death where vnto Salard replyed how should the Marques haue vnderstanding of it There is none but onely you and I that kneweth it wherefore I praye you for the loue that you alwayes haue borne and yet doe beare vnto me that you will not in anye wyse reueale it for if you doe it will be an vtter vndoing to vs both Doubt you not of that sayde she For I had rather dye a thousand deathe then open such a secret when the hawke was drest and redy to be eaten Salard and Theodore seite them down togither at the table but Theodore notwithstanding that he requesting her very earnestly would not eate one morsell of it wherefore perceiuing how small accoumpt she made of his wordes as one throughly angred he gaue her so great a blow on the face with his fist that her cheeke waxed very red withall whiche shee taking moste greeuouslye fell straighte on weéping and complayned greatlye of his hard dealing with her And then rising from the table in a furye m●●bling the Deuils Pater noster threatned him and sayd shee woulde remember that iniury all the dayes of her lyfe and woulde bee sufficiently reuenged both of the time and place The next morning rising before her ordinarye hower without longer lingering shee repayred to the Marques telling him from point to point of the death of his Hawke Which when the Marques hearde being inflamed with fury not attending what Salard coulde says for himselfe presently caused him to be apprehended and without further consideration of the matter condemned him to bee hanged and to lose all his goods which he willed to be deuided in three partes whereof the first should remaine to his wife for accusing him the second to his Daughter and the thyrd to him that would doe the execution vpon him Now Postume that was grown to be a proper and well fauoured wench vnderstanding what sentence was pronounced against her father for that which she was not greatly greeued went presently to her mother and saide vnto her Mother were it not much better that I by doing the execution vpon my father should gaine the third part of his goods then a straunger Then her mother said surely my Daughter this is very well considered of thee and I wold it were so for by that meanes all his goods shall remaine vnto vs two Then went Postume to the Marques and made sute vnto him that she might be suffred to do the erecution vppon her father to the end that as he had ordayded she mighte thereby be the inheritour to the thyrde parte of his goods vnto which her request the Marques willingly accorded Salard hauing now secretly informed his friend Fraunces of the whole matter intreated him that when hee was at the poynt to be led to the place of execution there to be put to Death he would presently repayre to the Marques and intreate him that he might be brought before him and that he would vouchsafe to heare him speake a few words vnto him before he was put to death which Fraunces when time serued perfourmed accordingly In the meane time Salard remayning in Prison with Fetters on his feete expecting euery hower when hee should be led to the place of execution there to suffer a shamefull and villanous death weeping bitterlye sayde vnto himself Now doe I playnly perceiue but all to late that my good aged father with his long experience did councell mee to nothing but that which mighte haue bene for my health and singuler commoditye if I hadde well wayed it He like a wise and graue person gaue me good preceptes and I vnhappy and witles wretch made no accoumpte of them Hee commaunded me for my ease and benefiete to flye from these my domesticall ennemies and I to offer them the occasion whereby they myghte bring mee to this shamefull ende and to make them conceaue great pleasure in the same haue yeelded my self vnto their discretion my father lykewise knowing the nature of Princes to be such that in one hower they will both loue and lothe exhault and pull downe counsayled mee to seperate myselfe from them and I foole that I am to be depriued of my goods honour and life haue moste vnwisely sought after them O Salard Salard how much better had it bene for thee if thou hadst followed thy fathers steppes suffering flatterers and lewde persons to follow the courts of princes and great Lordes Now see I wel to what passe I am like to come by trusting to much to my selfe my wicked wife vngracious chylde and aboue all by to much beleeuing the fained friendship of the vngrateful Marques Now do I certainly know how well hee loued me what might he doe worse vnto me●surely nothing for at one instaunt would he take from me my liuing lyfe and honour alas how soone is his great loue conuerted to cruell and bloody hatred I see this prouerbe is not vsed in vain that these great Lords are like vnto wine in a Bottle which is good in the morning nought at night O vnhappy Salard to what pas art thou come where is thy nobillitye where are thy deare parents where is thy great riches where is thy loyaltie thy good inclination and accustomed curtesy O my louing father I am sure if you were aliue againe to beholde me in this place redy to suffer death For noue other offence but onely for infringing your fatherlye precepts through the dede deferue far greter punishment thē this that is now alotted vnto me you wold not only seke sue to saue me from it but wouldalso hartily pray to God to haue pitty vpon my youthful sollies the offences wher vnto only ignorance hath led me and I for my part as an vnthankfull and disobedient chyld that haue not regarded your graue and gracious commaundements would moste humbly beseech you to pardon me whilst Salarde was thus debating and complayning to himselfe his daughter Postume like a good and wel instructed hangman repayred to the prison where he was and there most arrogantly
