that she would have him cripled if he were so bold as once to strike hir Anaclete moved with choller lifts up his hand and makes so faire an impression therewith on her cheeke that the mark of his fingers remained there a good while printed by reason of the bloud which thereby mounted up to her face adding moreover with a solemne protestation soundly to curry both her and her minion if ever he found them talking together Eudoxe let us call this woman full of despight by such an affront resolved with her selfe to take deepe vengeance therof neither wanted she means so to doe having the sword of Opile at her command but because this Captaine intended not to marry her shee desired not that he should goe so farre as to kill her husband but only that by threats and some blowes he should keepe him in awe having then made hir complants unto him and told him how Anaclete had said that if he found them together he would currie them both Opile who was not wont to be used in such a manner promised to teach her husband to speake in another fashion and so severely to revenge the blow which she had received that shee should have cause to be satisfied therewith Meeting on a time with this poore man he beganne to vent and utter his bravadoes against him and to sweare that if he continued in his fantasticall humours he would hack and hew him in so many peices that the skilfullest anatomatist should hardly set him together againe Anaclete answered him coldly that if he were of his profession and had bin bred up in armes he would answer him in the same tearmes but that the condition of a souldiour and that of a merchant are not used to ioyne together the ell and the sword being weapons farre different that the law of marriage gave him full authority over his wife whom he had forbidden to come in his company to the end that the evill reports might be wiped away which were spread abroad to the disadvantage of her honour and that he beleeved that there passed no dishonest act in their conversation but that an honest woman ought to be exempt both from the crime and the suspition and that if his wife abusing him with her tongue he had made use of his hand to hold her peace it was not for Opile to thinke himselfe offended therewith ●xcept he would shew to have some share in her who no way that he knew to be lawfull appertained to him From this answer that might have satisfied any man that knew reason Opile tooke occasion to encrease his choller and passion which made him like a tun filled with new wine the which foules it selfe with its owne foame because that the rashnesse of the discourse made him utter many words not only outragious against the person of Anaclete but which plainely discovered that he sought to have more part in her whose cause he defended then either law or honesty could permit which so hardly oppressed good Anaclete that he was constrained to reply that if ever he saw him approach his wife he would do his endeavour to resist force by force and to drive disgrace from his house Whereunto angry Opile replyed like a souldier if I were said he asleepe in thine owne bed thou wouldest not dare to awake me yet thou hast said that thou wouldest currie both thy wife and her minion speaking of me if thou didst finde us together but be thou sure that I will speake to her when it shall please me in despight of thy threats and foretidings and since thou hast spoken of currying me as if I were a horse assure thy selfe that it shall not be before I have well rubbed thee to my mind and thereupon he lifts up a great staffe wherwith he would have accompanied his words but the legs of Anaclet● by a quicke flight saved him at that time from a basting The proud souldier boasted of this discomsiture as if he had wonne the field but he sung the triumph before the victory he continues his filthy action with this wicked woman more openly and impudently then ever but it will not be without punishment Lead is long ere it be hot but then it melts on a sudden the Diamond is difficult to bee broken but when it doth breake it goes all to powder so is it with slow heavy and timorous humors they must have time to increase their choller and when it is at the height they are as red hot iron which long retaines it's heat Anaclete wronged beyond all measure resolved to end his dishonour or his life he makes his complaint to his kindred and friends who all taking part in his misfortune and hating the insolence of Opile promised to assist him in this revenge being just and authorized by the lawes Accompanied then with three or foure good fellowes resolved to surprize the adulterers and to punish them as they deserved it was an easie matter to find them together some few dayes before Anaclete intended to put in practise his designe he fained a certaine kind of reconcilement with his disloyall wife he makes extraordinary much of her as if his former affections had renewed but they were Apes ●uggings which smother with their imbracings this woman growne expert in deceits returnes him the like he faines a voyage whereunto he said that his commerce obliged him for to make provision of some certaine wares at a Faire his wife counterfeits a sadnesse at his departure where unto she added a few Crocadiles teares hardly was he gone but Opile came to possesse his place and that in a manner so openly that all the neighbourhood was scandalized thereat two dayes after Anaclete returnes who accompanied by foure or five of his trusty friends all armed as was fitting enters with false keyes even unto his owne chamber wherein they were no sooner entered but the adulterers whom they found in bed together awakened Opiles sword was seased on as also his poyniard and pistoll he sees himselfe naked and unable to defend himselfe among five or sixe men well armed and every one his pistoll in hand ready charged and cockt presenting them to his head now stands our braggard well amazed and of a Lyon that he had beene is now become as gentle as a Sheepe and dares not bleate they sease on him and he is forthwith bound hand and foot and in this manner laid on the bed againe the woman on a sudden awaking sees this spectacle and presently her conscience expects nothing but death for her punishment she cryes she weepes she craves mercy for her selfe and Opile in briefe she playes the woman a creature insolent in prosperity and faint hearted in misfortune Opile askes Anaclete forgivenesse with the fairest protestations in the world but Anaclete is wounded in his honour a wound that is not healed with words and seeing his enemy now in his power caused one of his armes to be untyed and putting a wispe of straw into

in the time of Alexander Farnese Prince of Parma that the Marquesse de Varambon Knight of the golden Fleece one of the greatest Noblemen of the County of Burgoigne and who for his courage and experience had at that time faire imployments in the armies received commandement to besiege Bliemberg a very strong little town and neer Rhinberg This brave Captain made his approches and without making here a long description of this siege which I leave unto these that have at large written the history of the troubles of the Low-Countries it sufficeth me to say that well assaulted and wel defended the place was battered the breach being reasonable a general assault was given so furiously that the assailants repulsed divers times at last launched themselves with so much violence through the blows the bodies of the dead and of the hurt that they forced downe the defendants and entred into the towne which taken in this sort suffered all the insolencies and outrages which victors were wont to practise upon the vanquished who have bin subdued with their weapons in hand Let us adde moreover that the place had so obstinatly held out that those within would never hearken unto any composition but resolved to dye rather than to yeeld unto the Spaniard it sufficeth to say that it was entirely sackt and that they pardoned neither age nor sexe nor honour nor riches all was desolate when the Marquesse made himselfe absolute master thereof and that order was given to bury the dead for feare that the infection should corrupt the aire and overthrow health two souldiers were found on the breach so streightly embraced that even in this state which hath no more strength it was hard to part them The vanquishers ardent after prey and booty for to have the spoils of these two who were reasonably well cloathed stripped them quite naked one of them as white as snow and of a wonderfull beauty was found to be a woman Presently amazement ranne through all the troupes and curiosity laboured to know the successe of this memorable adventure it came unto the eares of the Marquis and as a man that made much account of valour and of love hearing talke of the death of this armed Venus who had beene found fastned with her Mars Hee passionately desired to know who were these two lovers for to honour the memory of their courage and of their fidelitie A souldier who had made proofes of an incomparable generosity and who being wounded in divers places had yeelded himselfe under the faith of a Burguignon Captaine who in favour of his vertue took care to have him drest sayd that he was alone in the City and it may be in the Countrey that could satisfie the curiositie of the Marquisse and of so many others who had an extreame desire to know the truth of this amorous and warlike history This hurt prisoner beeing not able to stirre the Surgeons having but an ill opinion of his wounds the Marquisse went to see him accompanied by divers Captaines for to learne from his mouth the particulars of this event The sicke man resuming an extraordinary vigour made the discourse therof in this manner in his naturall tongue which was high Dutch and which the Marquesse and most of those that were about him understood very well My Lord sayd he I render thankes unto heaven that hath given me but so much life as I wish for to yeeld in so honourable a company the glorious testimony which I owe to my love and to my friendship which done thinke it not strange if I die for the causes that made me live being no more it were a cruelty and not humanity for to dresse my wounds and the way to prolong my death rather to preserve my life I can no more live without friendship than enjoy the light of dayes without eyes and without sunne even from my birth I have had an inclination to love but an inclination so strong that I remember not to have ever lived without some particular affections but I had never any stronger than for these two lovers my friend and my mistresse which have been found dead and embraced on the breach O happy couple why must the order of warie have separated our affections and make me fight in another place how freely for to save you from death would I have suffered my selfe to have beene hewed in a thousand pieces or at leastwise I had beene your companion inseparable in death as I have beene in life but you have out-stript me of a small time Stay for mee deare soules and I shall soone be at you Alas the desire to see you rather than to preserve my life made me yeeld my armes unto this young man in whom my courage hath bred pitty but being you are no more in the number of the living I will bee blotted out from thence and remaine there no longer time than needs must for to consigne unto mens remembrance the memory of our friendship Hee made this fine speech with so many sighes sobbes and teares and with so great a voyce that falling suddenly into faintnesse they thought he was expiring his last This was attributed unto the paines of the wounds of his body but it may be those of his heart were rather the cause thereof Yet so it is that the Marquisse for feare this disturbance should kil him retyred into another chamber resolving to put off this matter untill he might be stronger but when he was come to himselfe againe and that hee saw no more this faire troupe which had appeared about his bed hee entred into such sorrowes and plaints for that he could not dis-burthen his minde as moved so much compassion that the Marquesse being pierced therewith came backe to see him who after he had with opportunity craved favor to be heard proceeded in a more stayd manner and with a grave and hardy countenance sayd thus My name is Aleran my birth noble my country is the Lantgraviat of Hessen the place that saw my entrance into the world is Melsignam neer unto Cassel the seat of my Prince being in his Court I bound my selfe in so straight a friendship with Incmar a gentleman Native of Rottenburgh who had beene bred up as page unto the Lantgrave that wee were commonly called the Inseparable those impatiences which lovers feel when they are from their mistresse we felt when we lost sight one of another being together dayes were unto us houres and houres were moneths when we were asunder a moment was unto us an age even in sleeping sleepe which is a benumming of the powers was unto us tedious if we were severed by reason whereof wee commonly made but one bed we had but one purse and one table one and the same house the same servants the same Livories the same retinue and when any of our servants were asked unto whom they did belong they answered Vnto the two friends if those that are but one may be called two Wee went
