death The word wounded her heart as soon as her ear and as a sharp dart peirced it on every side she strove to resist the unhappiness which surprized her but she was taken at an instant in so much as staggering in Saradins arms who held her up he was at length constrain'd to let her fall upon the Velvet floar clean lost he was ready to call her women to her aid but considering the accident requir'd but sew witnesses and finding in her Closet some cold water he cast thereof upon her face and caused her eyes to half open Madam cryed he suddenly to her come to your self despair not before time happily Anaxander may not be dead and that which makes me think he is not is because you were your self even now just in his plight and I perceive you breath again then presently he unlaced her bodies and when she had more liberty she opened broad her eyes which suddainly were drowned in a multitude of tears and when she would have unclos'd her mouth to have seconded the with her complaints and griefs she could not uster more than two or three sight which she drow from the bottom of her heart and were as many witnesses of her most deadly sorrow Saradin conceived by that action that she was not yet perfectly come to her self and though her fair eyes were exceedingly troubled he saw as clearly as in her heart the second seebleness that threatned her and cast water again upon her face and wrung her hands and cryed in her car and us'd such means as that at length he got her perfectly out of her swoundings When she was ready to begin her complaints one of her women took the boldnesse to enter her Chamber to give notice that a Gentleman desiring to speak with Saradin about matters of great importance expected him at the door Saradin imagining it to be one of those whom he had left with Anaxander went forth with leave of the Princesse and found it to be Almerin who was come hastily to tell them that his Mastet lived yet and that some order or other must be speedily taken to perserve him for that there ran already through the City a whisper of that Duel Saradin intreated his patience a little and ran into the Closet to repair the evill which his first intelligence had caused The Princesse commanded that Almerin should he let enter who recounted to her his Masters adventure whom they had lamented dead how God be praised he was come again to himself how they had brought him out of the way and upon their cloaks carried him unto a green bed where he was much better than upon the strand but where the moistnesse of the night might however do him great harm in case he were not suddainly succoured Hereof they all three consulted and Saradin having proposed to have him conveighed unto a Castle which he had some ten leagues off upon the road to Bisnagar the Princess held it fit without considering in the trouble she was in as well as the rest that that Castle was the first lodging the King meant to take who within two daies intended to depart from Bacicalus to return for Bisnagar and having made choice of a very excellent Chirurgion and the Princess furnishe the Litter they went to take Anaxander and together with Piroxonus and Neander convaighed him all the night as far as the Castle where Saradin at first conceal'd him in a Chamber very private for fear the King in passing might discover him As soon as he had sitted him with what was necessary he left him in the company of his dear Piroxenus and his two Gentlemen and returned upon the gallop to Baticalus which was already full of that Duel And to prevent a search the Princesse thought good to spread a noise that Anaxander was slain for that Lisimantus was seen fly and that the fishermen who had reported it had seen Anaxander stretched out in his own blood without any appearance of life lamented of his people and be wailed of his friends which gave an easie credit of his death It was the absence only of those valiant Cavalliers and of their friends which gave suspicion they had fought for not withstanding the noise of their Duel which had run through the City had they returned safe there being no man to accuse them they had run no hazard nor fallen into any kinds of trouble But when the King found them all four away and that he knew that those from whom he expected greatest supports in the maintainance of his Edict had been the first infringers he raged and swearing deeply that he would be revenged even upon the dead commanded that Ariomants body should be sought for to expose it to the shame of punishment I perceive said he my authority is very openly scorned and I were very worthy to be laughed at by my neighbours if I endured the violation of an Edict made but three daies since for whose execution I have so solemnly sworn upon the Altars I vow again even by my Fathers Soul that Lisimantus though a stranger as he is shall repent him of it and that he shall not so close keep himself in Zeylan but I will one day sinde him our to be revenged on him As for Ariomant who hath been as it were naturaliz'd among us and who hath lived under my pay I will that he endure our justice and that his body dead as it is be dismembred by the ministers of justice and I proclaim him an enemy to my State and Crown whoever shall conceal or assist to the close keeping of Galistenus in continuance of this protestation he promised the Government which Zenobus had of Baticalus to whomsoever should bring him any one of those four either alive or dead immediately every man sets himself upon the quest but there was too faith-full a care had of Anaxanders surety whose wounds however great being found not deadly Piroxenus and he made but sport of that adventure they promised themselves to spend the time merrily one day with the King of Narsinga when they should return to Gonzarat in Princes equipage having sent their Embassadors before them In the mean while for fear lest the noise of that Duel and the pretended death of Anaxander spread through all parts might not cause Orixa whom they had left unknown in Visaporus to suspect some disaster they dispatched Neander toward her for her satisfaction and to tell her the cause of their delay assuring her that as soon as Anaxander should be recovered they would travel for Gouzarat and return with all expedition in the quality they had promised her taking with them only faithful Almerin to serve them as occasion offered it self On the other side the King causing so exact a search to be made for Ariomant sent every moment to Oyazias soul most deadly fears who doubting that her Ariomant was not enough conceal'd was a thousand times tempted to discover his name and birth unto her

them whose deplorable conclusion fill'd him with compassion and confusion and had much more wrought upon his heart if he had known but Lisimantus his story But because there was never seen so furious a Combate sought as between those four it will not be impertinent to give you the description in a few words As soon as they were come where Lisimantus had a mind to lead them on the strand having cast off their Dublets unsheath'd their swords and that their seconds had seperated themselves about an hundred paces from them that they might not hinder them they witness'd all bus one resentment and who had seen them could not have discern'd the seconds from the Principals so eqaully were they incensed to revenge Anaxander and Lisimantus began first whiles their friends were going off and made an infinite number of thrusts in the beginning to see if they could dazle one the other or set each other out of guard but being guided by an equal courage to assault and seconded by as much dex●erity to ward the blows they fought a quarter of an hour without being able mortally to hurt each other they passed twenty times with equal nimblenesse on one another because they had agreed not to close and seeing that they could not that way compasse their intents they us'd a thousand faints and all the subtilties of Fencing to undo their lives so cruelly were they bent to one another Their blows were so thick that notwithstanding all their cunning in desence they could not avoid an infinite number of hurts so as at every step they made the earth was stained with their blood and who had seen their all-discoloured faces would have said they had already lost a great abundance but because they both had mighty hearts they felt not weaknesse but through the greatnesse of their courage seeble as they were they yet subsisted On the other side Piroxenus having to do with a valiant enemy had a hard task to overcome him at first they made five or six thrusts at one another without hurt and Zouobus trusting in his exceeding force the second passe let fall his sword to close and grasp Piroxenus whom he constrain'd to quit his likewise that he might the better struggle with him They long disputed after this manner at length they came to ground and Piroxenus no lesse strong than dexterous had the good hap to fall upon his enemy whom he might have strangled if he would for that the fall was very soul Zenobus finding himself in so ill case Sir Knight cryed he out if we end not our Combate after another manner than this it will not be in haste that we shall help our friends it was not I that began said Piroxenus thou wouldst fain prevail by thy might and the gods have ordered that thy subtilty hath served to thy prejudice However though thou art already overcome to let thee know I can tell how to conquer every way I give thee leave to take thy sword again to defend thy self against mine which is able to lay thee once more levill with the ground and therewithall he rose and returned toward Zenobus with his sword in his hand who being much broken by the greatness of his fall fought not again with so much nimblenesse as formerly although his courage were continually the same he was therefore fain to recoil at those gallant onsets Piroxenues gave him at the first and in retiring had the ill fortune to light upon a stone over which he fell backward when instantly Piroxenus lept upon him and having made him yield his sword he ran withall his might to succour Anaxander whom he found fallen on one side not able any longer to help himself for the losse of blood which ran every where out of his wounds and Lisimantus on the other in the same condition They both yet breathed when Piroxenus came neer them but with very little sign of life By and by without staying to bemoan his friend who had more need of ready help than uselesse tears he drew out of his pocket a precious Balme with which he presently anointed all his wounds and toar his shirt in divers places to bin them up a well as he could But as soon as he gave them air he perceived him by little and little to vanish in his arms turning sweetly his eyes towards him without being able to speak one word Poor Piroxenus believing that his friend was dead who was but in a swound felt in his own heart deadly touches and moreover fearing lest some Officer of justice might surpriz the body in that unhappy state and exercise the rigor of the new Edict on him as an example was in a grievous straight and a thousand times tempted to despair and open with his own hand a way through which he might follow his dear Anaxander Zenobus having on another side found his friend weak and at the point of death ran hastily towards the bark which he had caused to be ready neer the shore not far from the Haven and brought the Chirurgion which he had provided there with the three Saylers and having found that Lisimantus had yet some small motion of his pulse they carried him upon a Coverlet into the Vessel that they might preserve at least his body and immediately hoyst sail to leave the Coasts of Zeylan Scarce were they unmoared when Saradin arriv'd with Almerin and Neander the faithful servants of our two Princes because for satisfaction of what the Princesse had told him he had run first to Anaxanders lodgings and not finding him there knowing how great considence his Cousin and himself had of Almerin and Neander had lead them with him that he might not fail of what he went about which had been hard for him to do alone But O ye gods how sad and woful spectacle at once beheld they At first they found one of their Masters stretched out in his blood upon the sands having nor heat nor motion and then the other desperate weeping and cursing heaven that had preserv'd his life none of them knew in that extremity what to resolve for if on the one side they lamented for Anaxanders death they feared on the other left two or three fishermen who had seen the Combate might reveal it and not daring to carry back the body into the Town they neither of them knew what place of surety to dispose it in In this confusion Saradin was dispatched in behalf of them all toward the Princesse to advertise her of this accident that she on her side might try to remedy it and prevent that he whom she had chosen for her husband might not again be unfortunate after his death The poor Orazia in the deadly apprehension of that disafter which she had foreseen had caused all her women to retire and shut her self into her Chamber to entertain her melancholy alone when Saradin in truth a little too inconsiderately in searful manner brought her the woful news of her Lovers
