Primalion Palmerin and Florian put the Army in Array and with many Heroick speeches encouraged the Souldiers to revenge the death of their friends and drive the Enemy from their Camp when in good order they marched out with loud shouts wounding the Ayr with Drums Trumpets Clarions Flutes and Phyfes which greatly alarum'd the Pagans and made them instantly betake themselves to their Arms yet so discouraged were they that their General was long e're he could draw them out of his Camp when standing in Array he mounted upon a little Rising and from thence began to encourage them in this manner Fellow Souldiers you see Fortune hath brought us to this place to revenge Injuries and try our Valours which we have already done and the Enemy not gained as yet any considerable advantage over us Therefore this day let your prowess witness you men of daring resolution and the price of your labour shall be the spoyl of you Wealthy City which I design to leavel with the Dust and race out of the memory of succeeding Ages This said he ended and did sound the Charge CHAP. LXVII Of the second Battel between the Christians and Infidels with their overthrow and the Emperor Palmerin THE Charge sounded on both sides the Armys after a flight of Arrows joyned with the Sphere and Sword in a dreadfull manner insomuch that the field was again strewed with new slaughter and many worthy Knights sore wounded the Turks being now desperate to overcome which Palmerin and Florian perceiving charged the Squadron lead by Albayzer with great fury insomuch that it gave back Albayzer himself in the Encounter being unhorsed and in much danger of his Life when as the King of Caspia coming to his relief stayed the fury of the Princes and slew divers of the meaner sort of Greeks who adventured too far in the Battel But King Edoard coming to that part fought so couragiously that he pierced the Caspian King's Array and being seconded by the aforesaid Princes put the Infidels again into disorder to reinforce whom advanced Prince Argelao with Eight Thousand Africans but being received at the point of the Launce by Palmerin of England he was ran quite through the Body and tumbled dead from his Horse in imitation of whom Prince Florian encountering another of Albayzers great Captains slew him The Fight being at this pass Dramusiand and Framustant charging through the Squadrons at last met and encountered each other with great fury when as another Turkish Gyant named Dramator came to the assistance of Framustant whose puissance was little inferiour to the former which Florian from the Squadron where he fought perceiving came to the assistance of his friend so that leaving him again upon equal terms a dreadfull fight continued which ended in the Death of Dramator slain by Prince Florian and the disorderly Retreat of Framustant The Soldian of Persia fighting in the Right Wing and finding his men worsted and greatly slaughtered by Prince Floriman came resolutely to ingage him but was welcomed with such noble force that had not his men again rescued him he had there been slain Yet the fight waxed hot on all sides and loud were the crys and groans of the dying and wounded men so that they were plainly heard into the City yet both sides animated with hope of Victory stood stoutly to their Arms But upon the arrival of a fresh Squadron of Horse and a strong Battailian of foot under the leading of Esterlant King of Hungaria the Christians redoubling their Courage made great havock of their Enemies whereupon Albayzer who had his eye upon every place came thither and brought Three Hundred Knights to succour his friends being desirous of nothing more than to be revenged of Prince Florian whom he beheld slaughtering his men whereupon he addressed himself to the Combat and layed many strokes upon him which made the Prince recollect his force and leave fighting with such as shunned Death to charge his Capital Adversary which he did with such fury that he tumbled him from his Horse when alighting to unclasp his Helm the Pagans on all sides came running in throngs to the rescue of their General that the Prince was constrained to relinquish his purpose and remount during which Albayzer was conveyed thence Yet so dealt the noble Florian that his anger fell not in vain but with such fury he charged all that fell in his way that they dreaded him worse than Death flying from him on every hand but at length being weary with subduing he retired to refresh himself when as Albayzer having recovered from the amazement he was in came and restored the Battel on that part King Edoard perceiving the Battel at a stand Victory as yet inclining to neither side commanded his reserves to charge the Left Wing of the Enemy which they did with such vigor and bravery of mind that the battel soon began to swerve When Prince Palmerin and his Vncle Prince Primalion coming on the King of Cambia who commanded that part of the battel was slain and the Wing roured notwithstanding a reinforcement of Three Thousand Parthian Archers came in whose Arrows gauled the Christian Horse and caused divers of them to cast their Riders and now was the body of the Pagan Army consisting of Forty Thousand Foot left open amongst whose Ranks the Horse entering put them into such confusion that they lost all order and shrunk together notwithstanding the endeavour their Commanders used to prevent it and so far pierced they that came upon the Soldian of Persia who was retired thither from the Right Wing against whom Prince Palmerin addressed himself and fought with him so long that fainting through wounds and loss of blood he fell dead which so dismayed his men that they fled from that part and left the Victory there intirely to the Christians But the Right Wing fighting strongly and the Left reinforced with Eight Thousand Scithians newly arrived to the assistance of Albayzer Polinardus was over-born and slain by Ferrebroque Captain of the Scyths which greatly grieved the Princes and gave the Infidels occasion to take heart and the rather because with these new supplys came Pandolf a monstrous Gyant but Florendos coming to the aid of his friends and finding the Gyant with a mighty Mace slaughtering the Greecian Souldiers bore upon him with great fury and after a terrible Combat burst his Helm at what time falling he cut off his Head and gave him an unlooked for welcome for that this Gyant boasted himself of ability to contend with ten of the Emperors best Knights all at once Berolde Prince of Spain yet seeking to revenge his Fathers Death desperately charged into the thickest of his foes and there had been slain had not the Soldian Bellagris come timely to his rescue and brought him out of the Battel but so wounded was he that his Souldiers constrained him to retire to the City to have his wounds carefully regarded Yet the fight continued hot on all sides for
