of her beauteous excellence that the bashful redde of Aurora at the sight of vnacquainted Phaeton was not halfe so glorious The Normane seeing this young Gentleman fettered in the lookes of the Ladyes draue him out of his memento with a shake by the shoulder Rosader looking backe with an angrie frowne as if hee had been wakened from some pleasaunt dreame discouered to all by the furye of his countenance that hee was a man of some high thoughts but when they all noted his youth and the sweetnesse of his visage with a general applause of fauours they grieued that so goodly a yoong man should venture in so base an action but seeing it were to his dishonour to hinder him from his enterprise they wisht him to bee graced with the palme of victorie After Rosader was thus called out of his memento by the Norman hee roughly clapt to him with so fierce an incounter that they both fel to the ground and with the violence of the fal were forced to breathe in which space the Norman called to minde by all tokens that this was hee whome Saladyne had appoynted him to kil which coniecture made him stretch euery limbe and try euerie sinew that working his death hee might recouer the golde which so bountifuly was promised him On the contrary part Rosader while he breathed was not idle but stil cast his eye vpon Rosalynde who to incourage him with a fauour lent him such an amorous looke as might haue made the most coward desperate which glance of Rosalynd so fiered the passionate desires of Rosader that turning to the Norman hee ranne vpon him and braued him with a strong encounter the Norman receiued him as valiantly that there was a sore combat hard to iudge on whose side fortune would be prodigal At last Rosader calling to minde the beautie of his new Mistresse the fame of his fathers honours and the disgrace that should fal to his house by his mis●ortune rowsed himselfe threw the Norman against the ground falling vppon his chest with so willing a weight that the Norman yelded nature her due and Rosader the victorie The death of this Champion as it highly contented the Francklin as a man satisfied with reuenge so it drue the King and all the Peeres into a great admiration that so yoong yeares and so beautiful a personage should cont●in such martiall excellence but when they knew him to bee the yoongest sonne of sir Iohn of Bourdeaux the King rose from his seat and imbraced him and the Peeres intreated him with all fauourable curtesie commending both his valour and his vertues wishing him to go forward in such haughtie deeds that hee might attaine to the glory of his fathers honourable fortunes As the King and Lordes graced him with embracyng so the Ladyes fauoured him with theyr lookes especially Rosalynd whome the beautie and valour of Rosader had already touched but she accounted loue a toye and fancie a momentary passion that as it was taken in with a gaze might be shaken off with a winke and therefore feared not to daily in the flame and to make Rosader know she affected him tooke from her necke a Iewel and sent it by a Page to the yong gentleman The Prize that Venus gaue to Paris was not halfe so pleasing to the Troian as this Iemme was to Rosader for if fortune had sworne to make himself sole Monarke of the world he would rather haue refused such dignitie than haue lost the Iewel sent him by Rosalynd To returne hir with the like he was vnfurnished yet that he might more than in his lookes discouer his affection hee slept into a tent and taking pen and paper writ this fancie Two Sunnes at once from one faire heauen there shinde Ten braunches from two boughes tipt all with roses Pure lockes more golden than is golde refinde Two pearled rowes that Natures pride incloses Two mounts faire marble white downe-soft and dainty A snow died orbe where loue increast by pleasure Full wofull makes my heart● and body faintie Hir faire my woe exceeds all thought and measure In lines confusde by lucklesse harme appeareth Whom sorrow clowdes whom pleasant smiling ●leareth This sonnet he sent to Rosalynd which when she read shee blusht but with a sweet content in that she perceiued loue had alotted her so amorous a seruant Leauing her to her new intertained fancies againe to Rosader who triumphing in the glorie of this conquest accompanyed with a troupe of yoong gentlemen that were desirous to be his familiars went home to his brother Saladynes who was walking before the gates to heare what successe his brother Rosader should haue assuring himself of his death and deuising how with dissimuled sorrowe to celebrate his funerals as he was in his thought he cast vp his eye and sawe where Rosader returned with the garland on his head as hauing won the prize accompanied with a crue of boon companions greeued at this he stepped in and shut the gate Rosader seeing this and not looking for such vnkind entertainment blusht at the disgrace and yet smothering his griefe with a smile he turned to the Gentlemen and desired them to hold his brother excused for he did not this vpon any militious intent or nigardize but being brought vp in the country he absented himselfe as not finding his nature fit for such youthful company Thus he sought to shadow abuses proffered him by his brother but in vaine for hee could by no meanes be suffered to enter wherupon he ran his foot against the doore and brake it open drawing his sword and entring boldly into the Hall where hee found none for all were fled but one Adam Spencer an English man who had beene an old and trustie seruant to Sir Iohn of Bourdeaux he for the loue hee bare to his deceased Maister fauored the part of Rosader gaue him his such entertainment as he could Rosader gaue him thanks and looking about seeing the Hall empty saide Gentlemen you are welcome frolike and be merry you shall be sure to haue wine enough whatsoeuer your fare be I tel you Caualiers my Brother hath in his house fiue tunne of wine and as long as that lasteth I beshrew him that spares his lyquor With that hee burst open the buttery doore and with the helpe of Adam Spencer couered the Tables and set downe whatsoeuer he could find in the house but what they wanted in meat was supplyed with drinke yet had they royall cheare and withal such hartie welcome as would haue made the coursest meats seeme delicates After they had feasted and frolicktit twise or thrise with an vpsey freeze they all tooke their leaue of Rosader and departed Assoone as they were gone Rosader growing impatient of the abuse drewe his sword and swore to be reuenged on the discourteous Saladyne yet by the meanes of Adam Spencer who sought to continue friendshippe and amity betwixt the brethren and through the flattering submission of Saladyne they were once
