A78507	The troublesome and hard adventures in love. Lively setting forth, the feavers, the dangers, and the jealousies of lovers; and the labyrinths and wildernesses of fears and hopes through which they dayly passe. Illustrated by many admirable patterns of heroical resolutions in some persons of chivalry and honour; and by the examples of incomparable perfections in some ladies. A work very delightfull and acceptable to all. Written in Spanish, by that excellent and famous gentleman, Michael Cervantes; and exactly translated into English, by R. C. Gent.	Codrington, Robert, 1601-1665.; Cervantes Saavedra, Miguel de, 1547-1616, attributed name.	1651 (1651)	Wing C1781; Thomason E647_1; ESTC R3681	201,675	280

with_o such_o pleasant_a ornament_n and_o fair_a tapestry_n as_o pass_v all_o artificial_a industry_n i_o mean_v these_o fine_a herb_n and_o flower_n which_o both_o in_o smell_n and_o colour_n so_o

that_o the_o rose-bush_n grow_v thick_a and_o untoward_o the_o rose_n bud_v out_o in_o divers_a place_n without_o order_n and_o seem_v rather_o to_o serve_v for_o a_o wall_n or_o hedge_n to_o

what_o fair_a sight_n can_v the_o clear_a discern_a eye_n see_v then_o a_o rose_n so_o provident_o form_v nature_n that_o it_o seem_v rather_o to_o be_v some_o artificial_a collection_n of_o leaf_n

of_o similitude_n and_o comparison_n which_o it_o yield_v they_o thereby_o to_o exorn_v and_o commend_v the_o whiteness_n of_o divers_a gentlewoman_n who_o praise_n they_o pen_v say_v they_o be_v
