Palmerin D'Oliua The Mirrour of nobilitie Mappe of honor Anotamie of rare fortunes Heroycall president of Loue VVonder for Chiualrie and most accomplished Knight in all perfections Presenting to noble mindes theyr Courtlie desires to Gentles theyr choise expectations and to the inferiour sorte howe to imitate theyr vertues handled vvith modestie to shun offence yet all delightfull for recreation Written in the Spanish Italian and French and from them turned into English by A. M. one of the Messengers of her Maiesties Chamber Patere aut abstine At London Printed by I. Charlewoode for William VVright and are to bee solde at his Shoppe adioyning to S. Mildreds Church in the Poultrie the middle Shoppe in the rowe 1588. To the right noble learned and worthie minded Lord Edward de Ve●e Earle of Oxenford Viscount Bulbeck Lord Sanford and of Badelsmere and Lord high Chamberlaine of England A. M. wisheth continuall happines in this life and in the world to come AMong the Spartanes right noble Lord and sometime my honorable Maister nothing was accounted more odious then the forgetfulnes of the seruaunt towardes his Maister which made Mucronius who had beene seruaunt to Hagarbus a poore Arte●an and for his vertues afterward called to the office of a Senatou● in all assemblies to reuerence his poore Maister so that he would often say It was honour to Mucronius that he had beene seruaunt to Hagarbus Though this example my good Lord be vnfit for me in what respect beseemes me not to speake Yet that excel●lent opinion of the Spartanes I count it religion for me to immitate For if this vice was so despised among such famous persons what reproch wold it be to so poore an abiect as my selfe beeing once so happy as to serue a Maister so noble to forget his precious vertues which makes him generally belooued but cheerf●ly mine owne dutie which nothing but death can discharge In remembraunce therfore of my officious zeale I present your Honour the willing endeuours of your late seruaunt howe simple soeuer they be right perfect shall you make them by your fauourable acceptaunce this being added that were I equall in ability with the best all should be offered to my noble Maister If Palmerin hath sustained any wrong by my bad translation being so worthely set downe in other languages Your Honour hauing such speciall knowledge in them I hope will let slip any fault escaped in respect I haue doone my good will the largest talent I haue to bestowe And seeing the time affordes me such oportunitie that with ending this first parte the olde yeere is expired I present it my noble Lord as your seruauntes New yeeres gift and therewithall deliuer my most affectionate dutie euermore ready at your Honours commaundement Needelesse were it by tediousnes to growe troublesome when a woord suffiseth to so sound iudgement I submit my selfe and my Booke to your gracious conceit and the second part now on the presse and well neere finished I will shortly present my worthie Patrone In meane while I wish your Honor so many New yeers of happines as may stand with the heauenly appointment ●nd my modestie to desire Sometime your Honours seruant yet continuing in all humble duty Anthonie Monday To the courteous Readers WHen I finished my seconde parte of Palmerin of England I promised this worke of Palmerin D'Oliua because it depended so especially on the other to discharge that debt for promise is no lesse accounted with the new yeere I send him abroad a freendly companion for the long euenings and a fit recreation for other vacant times But because some perhaps will make exceptions against me that being but one Booke in other languages I now deuide it twaine my aunswer is that to glut men with delight may make them surfeit and so in expecting thanks for my paynes I should remaine condemned by generall misliking Beside a Booke growing too bigge in quantitie is profitable neither to the minde nor the pursse for that men are now so wise and the world so hard as they looue not to buie pleasure at vnreasonable price And yet the first parte will entice them to haue the second when it may bee alleaged the cost is as great as though it had come altogether yet I●am of the minde that a man grutcheth not so much at a little mony payd at seuerall times as he doth at once for this aduauntage he hath in meane time he may imploy halfe his mony on more needful occasions and raise some benefit toward buying the second parte Againe the other part will be new at the comming forth where now it wold be stale for such are affectiōs now a daies that a booke a sennight olde is scant worth the reading Thus no iniurie is offered by deuiding my Booke but profitte both to you and me yours I haue rehearsed and mine is that a little pause dooth well in so long a labour beside this aduauntage would I take that if my first parte deserued no liking you should neuer be offended by me with the second Yet heerein I am encouraged that what hath past with so great applause in diuers languages can hardly merite to be despised in England being matter altogether of delight and no way offensiue for noble and Gentle mindes are farre from iniuri●g the Historie that hath so highly pleased Emperours Kinges mightie potentates if then the inferiour sorte mislike it is because they are not capable of so especiall deseruinges And yet I am perswaded that both one and other will freendly entertaine Palmerin D'Oliua because his History i● so plentifully stored with choyse conceit varietie of matter and exquisit conueyaunce as nothing can be reprooued but my simple translation yet that I hope will be pardoned too in that to translate allowes little occasion of fine pen worke The second parte goes forward on the Printers presse and I hope shal be with you sooner then you expect In the meane while let this haue fauourable acceptaunce and that wil be a spurre to hasten the other Yours to his vttermost A. Munday The first parte of the auncient and honorable Historie of the valiant Prince Palmerin D'Oliua Emperor of Constantinople Sonne to the King Florendos of Maccdon and the fayre Griana Daughter to Remicius Emperour of Constantinople a History full of singuler and Courtlie recreation c. CHAP. I. Of the secrete loue which the Prince Tarisius bare to the yong Princesse Griana and the arriuall of the Prince Florendos at Constantinople THe auncient Histories of the famous Emperours of Constantinople doo record that the eight Emperor succeeding Constantine the founder of that auncient and famous Cittie was named Remicius who gouerned so iustlie and with such excéeding honour as not onelie his Subiectes intirelie looued him but of the kingdoms about him he was so feared and reuerenced that his Empire increased more large then in the time of his Predecessors This Remicius was of such a princely and munificent minde that
