shining vertues There succeeded this Gouernour in Lombardie Charles of Ambouse called for the dignitie of the office he bare in the Kings court great Master and Lord of Chamon He was of a pleasaunt disposition and much addicted to loue yet by his visage a man would haue iudged him rigorous and by his Cholorique wordes fierce and angry notwithstanding he delighted to courte Ladies and tooke greate pleasure in feasting banquetting dauncing and in Comedies which life was not liked of King Lewes For he lay then sporting in these delightes when hee should haue succoured Mirandula besieged and taken by Pope Iulius He gaue for his Impresa a sauage man with a Clubbe in his hand and aboue him this Latin posie Mitem animum agresti sub tegmine seruo thereby to assure the Ladies that he was not so rigorous as he seemed to the outward vewe The foresayde inuention to many seemed good but notable in my conceipt was that of Francesco Sensauerino Earle of Gaiaza who in emulation of his Brother Galeazzo at the comming of the French men into Italie departed from the Duke Lodouico and ioyned with them not without breach of his honor for that such a departure caried some suspect His Impresa was set on the Coate armour of a hundred Launces which he obtayned of the King it was the Trauayle wherein Smithes vse to put in wilde horses when they shoe thē with this mot Pour dompter folie to signifie that he would tame a certaine enemie of his which was of the like wilfull nature There was also among the French men a famous Captaine of tried valure named Edward Stuart of the blood royall of Scotland called my Lord of Aubinie he as being Cosin to King Iames the fourth gaue a Lyon rampant in a fielde argent all sowne with buckles imbrodered on his Cotes and Ensignes with this mot Distantia iungit Signifying that he was the meane and the buckle to hold vnited the King of Scots and the King of Fraunce to counteruaile the forces of the King of England the naturall enemie of the French men and Scots Dom. It seemeth good to me my Lord that you returne againe to our Italians at the least to those as we say of the second ranke since you haue alreadie from the beginning spokē of the most famous to whose glorie few dare presume to aspire now at this daie for neither the Colonesi nor Vrsini haue any of their progenic which wil tread their steppes in the practise of Cheualrie And it behoueth those Princes which seeke to equall them selues in honor with Francesco Gonzaga Alphonso d' Estè Giacopo Triuultio or with the Signiori Regnicoli to striue with restles labour and industrie but now they it seemeth are in declining for that at this day honors and dignities the rewardes of Cheualrie are giuen into the handes of Straungers And if the Earle Ferrante Sensauerino Prince of Salerna a man decked with notable vertues doth not resussitate the honour of his Kingdome I see not what hope there is of other Princes in Italie Iou. There is some hope in deede of him whereof he gaue great likelihood in the Battel of Cerosola where it was manifest that thorow his pollicie retiring a little back he made in greate parte frustrate the victorie of the French men And it maie be said that he preserued the state of Millan and Piemont for the Emperour which was no small commendation in so great disgraces Dom. Tell me my Lorde doth this Prince beare any Impresa in my opinion he should not want being so gallant a Knight Iou. Truely I neuer saw any Ensigne of his neither any amorous deuise whereof I meruaile hauing in his house the excellent Poet Bernardo Tasso Also in his countrey the Duke of Amalfi of the house of the Piccolomini a courteouse and valiaunt Knight and aboue all an excellent Rider and very skilfull in iudging of a good and couragious horse being exhorted in my presence by the Lord Marquise of Vasto his Cosin to leaue the pleasures of Sienna whereof he was Gouernour and to goe with him vnto the warres of Piemont he aunswered the spirit was willing but the flesh was weake but what mcaneth saith he that place of Scripture Nemo nos conduxit Vpon that the Marquise made him Generall of the light horsmen in the warres of Piemont And the Duke before he departed requested me a denise for his Ensigne to this effect that the Marquise had before saide vnto him that three things were conuenient for him which should take on him the like office which are courage liberalitie and vigilancie Doe not you sayd I put him in remembraunce of liberalitie neither courage sith he hath learned them both of you neither of vigilancie for that he is of this nature to rise before day either to goe to the chace or at least to get him out of his bed whereat he smiling sayd the vigilancie I meane comprehendeth all care and industrie a man vfeth to the end he be not taken at vnawares or els to seeke how to take his enemie at the aduauntage Whervpō I figured for his Impresa a Crane holding vp her left clawe wherein she clafpeth a stone for a remedie against sleepe which thing Plinie recordeth of these Birdes being merueilous watchfull and thereunto added this briefe Officium natura docet Dom. Tell me my Lorde were there none amongst the Nobilitie of the Regnicolo more auncient then this man which did beare any goodly deuise Iou. I remember but two the one of Andrea di Capua Duke of Tremoli and the other of Tomaso Caraffa Earle of Matalone The Duke in his flowring age being made Captaine generall of Pope Iulio died in Ciuita Castellana as was thought by poyson giuen him of some which enuied his honor He bare for his Impresa a bundle of darting Iauelines to signifie that he wanted not weapons to keepe the enemies from approaching him his mot was Fortibus non deerunt The Countie of Metalone the Generall of King Ferandino had for his deuise Romaine Ballance with this mot of the holy scripture Hoc fac viues which seemed very extrauagant for that the Ballance serueth to waigh many things and it was skorned by Mons. di Persi Brother to Mons. d' Alegria who discōfiting the Aragonian Campe at Eboli got the Ensigne of the Generall and sayd in good faithe my Enemie hath not obserued that which was written about his Ballace for that he hath not well waighed his forces with mine And sith we are entred among the Neapolitans whose Princes seeme to degenerate frō their auncesters in not going to the warres which I think is because the honors and dignities due vnto them are giuen to straungers yet I say there wāteth not men of the second forme both noble and valiaunt who by their valure aspire to honour Amongst whom is Signior Giou Baptista Castaldo famous for a thousand freshe and notable experiences being General of the Campe of Charles the Emperour
