good to be too good for her thought yet each houre an age till his returne Misfortune so blindeth those wee will overthrow as that she gives their desires wings to draw on and hasten their owne decayes At last hee came and humbly delivered the scrowle importing this much Viennois hoyre to thraldome still belongs untill her Fathers bonds shall set her free Who captiv'd is in place confus'd with tongues by Ismaels brood detayn'd shall be Both shall live in doubt in care and wee untill the banisht Sonne of forlorne Troy Shall succour give unto his greatest foe and bring him home with hope with love with joy Then shall Vienna wed a fable Moore And happie live in Peace and not before The Daulphinis whose ever sad surcharged heart was unable to disgest such heavie and bitter Cates found this sawce too sharpe for her dyet For it was no sooner read but that finding as she thought all the gates of comfort shut up with vntricate threats and impossibilities being too weake a 〈◊〉 stell to beare so sharpe a liquor she shrunke under the weight of her sad burthen and fell suddenly dead and so left the Daulphin a eruell Father and a carelesse Widower This mournfull accident rather exasperated his irefull displeasure towards his Daughter in making her disobedience the originall cause of her death then in any wise extenuated his execrable resolution against her determined endurance But hee had not lived many dayes in dolour but that burying the remembrance of his dearest Spouse in the hope of future happinesse his obdurate heart became as unsenceable of her losse as of his Daughters misery Love found love and the madnesse of age made him such a slave unto his slave that before one yeares period he married one of his Wives meanest Attendants One who knowing her owne unworthinesse having neither Vertue to strengthen her fortune nor good nature to incite her to pittie or goodnesse nor any merit to winne applause was notwithstanding so potent over him that she guided the sterne of his flinty and unpennitrable heart And though she feared the scorne of abject basenesse yet to maintaine the stolne pride of her enhansed heart shee cunningly gave fewell to her Husbands enraged will and covertly blew still the coales of his displeasure For feare shee did least that her Daughters liberty should in the aspect of true honour could both her swelling conceited glory and detract from her proud insulting greatnesse To frustrate which she cautely one day leaning on his brest and stroking his frosted beard thus sadly sayd When my deerest Lord I looke upon the breach of the Princesse your Daughters obligation I finde the penaltie you take to be most just though severe Since the just Judger of all did for the sole disobedience of onely one cast both him and all his Posteritie out of Paradice How like unto him you shew your selfe herein your unpartiall Justice well demonstrates who rightfully punisheth the sinne of disobedience in your owne members as God did in his owne creatures Justice is the badge of vertue the state of peace and maintenance of honour and the will of a Father should be a religious law unto the Child And they that preferre theyr owne lustes before theyr Parents pleasures looseth the benefit both of natures right and a Fathers regard For reason would not we should respect those that forsake us The Husband man cuttes and loppes off all unkindly Branches from the good Vine Iove held his Children part of his substance of whom hee did and might dispose and the noble Romans deprived their Sonnes of life that infringed but theyr commaunds I alleadge not this most worthy Lord to aggravate your Daughters foule offence whose other deserts I honour whose wellfare I affect and whose merited punishment I condole Nor yet to detract from the worth of your thrice worthy chasticement which all men commend and justice allowes But feare of I know what and the love of your safety enforceth me in love and duty to manifest what I feare and to prevent what I doubt Vienna you know my endeered Lady is the immediate apparent Heyre to this Principalitie and the unjust desires that waite upon a Crowne begets oft most inhumane unnaturall and unlawfull Acts Nature in that expectation looseth her sight Vertue her strength Dutie her obedience and Love her respect Nothing can out-ballance ambitious desire either in the reach of dignity or revenge Nor is there any limitation in the adventurers Her restraint is I feare like fire raked up in embers that covertly will kindle and openly burst foorth into a flame For the harder she deemes her selfe handled the more will she seeke after her release if not after revenge Nor can she want instigators thereunto Since all men like and preferre the rysing of the Moone before the setting of the Sunne And to win advancement in that hope they will contrive practise and execute whatsoever and howsoever Such occasions gives fire to corrupt Humorists and such grounds sets repugnant Malecontents a worke I would my death might free you from such dangerous intendments or that my life could acquit you from such heavie accidents And therewithall her heart having taught her eye to weepe she threw her selfe into his bosome the more to endeere her selfe unto him and without any sorrow she sighing said Ah what shall become of me when I shall loose my loving Lord Graft gave her teares Deceit shew'd griefe Fraud forcit a feare to win beleife Thus to nourish debate after she had fedde on slander and instil'd in his eates a fearefull jealousie which over-credulous mindes easily apprehends and covetously entertaines The better to acquit her selfe from all suppose of malice or detraction She weeping told him That the night before her Mothers Ghost appeared unto her all in white her unsmoothed haire displayed about her shoulders her ruefull falne face pale her eyes hollow and in eyther hand a Taper burning dimme which so affrighted her that had she not comfortably spoken to me when I had no power to call to you I had awaked you and cryed for helpe But sodainely with a feeble voyce she mildly said Feare not my Daughter to looke upon thy Mothers harmelesse Ghost who in tender care of thee and espoused Lord have left my bed of rest to come to premonish thee of your ensuing ●ll Treason doth threaten the Daulphin Subjects mislikes workes upon Viennas discontentments Her liberty will be his death and in his destruction shalt thou finde thy grave Now thou knowest it looke to it and so farewell With that she gave a wimpe darkenesse possest the place and I lay wounded and affrighted with remembrance both of her sight and of her words This Apparision the happy Angell of our God for visions are cleere revelations where dreames are but delusions hath moved me out of an affectionate feare of you to deliver what I saw heard and have said which otherwise in my love to your Princely Daughter I would willingly

indebted unto his own desires to do him all further possible service This interchange of kindnesses gave contentment to them both and was most pleasing to the Dolphin who yet fed so on his fresh feeling happinesse that he gave in charge that all his Subjects should honour Sirap as himself and hold his will as the will of their Lord For so he said is your Lords will that next to the Lord of Hoasts holds his life and living of him Then told he them how and with what hazard of his life he had redeemed him from most base bondage and cruell death How he had left many Heathen honours to honour him then greatly dishonoured and how he had protected him at Sea from danger of Pyrats and lastly established him in his Regalty in despight of his foes And therefore many and sundry were the Tryumphs that now were ordained for him but more then many were the severall thoughts that afflicted his doubtfull mind Vienna he thought had cause to condemne him since affection ever thinkes all times of stay too long that hangs on desert Lainova he knew would rebuke him for violating the sacred lawes of friendship in his concealement and his reverend Father might well question his breach of love and duty that so refused to shew himself a son One while he was ready to embrace Lainova another time to run to Vienna and by and by he was ready prest to fal on his knees to Sir Jaques Now did he pitty distressed Vienna who in all these alterations was neither moved nor removed Then did he fear her liberty since her Father had no feeling of her calamity Thus dubiously perplexed in mind he sadly sate unregarding regarding the continuing and maintaining justs untill the Dolphin judging of his stormy thoughts by his clouded countenance thus awaked him by his interpreter What think'st said he my best worthy friend of our French Knights and how stands our Court sports with your liking Sirap whose Martiall mind was now mollify'd with milder and calmer thoughts by his man thus answered As Knights of of good regard I regard your Knights and as noble befitting sports I commend your Heroicall pastimes All doth well and well doth it stand with your Highnesse that hath Knights that can do so well But the justs being ended the Dolphin that had read his discontentment in the deep characters of his face for the countenance oft shewes the affects and passions of the heart took him by the hand and privately led him into a fair tapistred gallery hanged with most artificiall pictures of greatest Monarchs where he thus againe assayed to find the cause of his disturbance Let not said he any doubt dismay my lifes preserver nor let any remembrance of your last and lost honours work in you any repenting humour since Viennues Dolphin is both willing and ready both to accomplish your demand and to honour you with all Dginities What pleaseth Sirap pleaseth the Dolphin and nothing shall content the Dolphin but what shall well like Sirap Then ask my Lord and be Lord of your asking Sirap thus kindly intreated and encouraged lowly humbled himself and by Bonfoy thus replyed Know most renowned and thrice worthy Prince that doubtfull suspition harbours not in noble hearts nor think I once of honours change Your covenanted promise exiles that doubt and the effect of my request is the honour that best will please my mind Then let me shew and shewing crave both what troubleth your servant and what he now in all humility demands for his conditioned gift not affecting honours the worlds fading glory nor coveting riches mans pleasing evill but seeking contentment in loves felicity I aske claime and require your daughter my Lord for my wife and a wife for my reward The renown of her attractive vertues and the vertue of her moving perfections hath by report so captivated my freest thoughts since my comming to Viennois that wondring at her Fame I am wounded with Fancy and my desire is to see and applaud her excellencies Then let it not seem strange unto you that unseen perfections have thus wrought unknown passions since the ear is as well subject to conceit as the eye is pliant to affection The Dolphin whose unnaturall and impenitrable heart felt no longer remorce of her endured misery then whilest hee was himself in misery and who was no sooner free but that he freed his remorced thoughts from all thought of remorce In so much that looking neither after her imprisonment nor his own posterity he in his ever over awfulnesse shewed himself now rather an unrelenting Tyrant then a chastising Father But now thus urged by Sirap whose warranted demand and highest deserts might well challenge an absolute grant he herein still discontented thus contented Sirap Nothing I see right noble valiant and most meritorious Moore seemeth worse to love then to preferre any thing before it selfe For cloathe Desire in plates of burnish'd Gold and Desire will shiver all for colde and fill affections purse with treasure and fancy wanting contentment will starve for hunger so that nothing can satisfie Love but love Your deserts might well have challenged my Principallity for your due my Dignities for your right and all my treasure for your own But all these I see suffice not because they satisfie not And to ask you why is to ask one half pyned why he is hungry You love my Lord you love but whom my daughter yea that is my grief Not that you love her unworthy your love but that I cannot give you her more then worthy her For such I swear by the eternall and my all-preserving God hath been and yet is the undutifulll and most obstinate will of my too disobedient and degenerate daughter that never yet nor yet ever could I or shall I I fear perswade intreat or enforce her to consent to any in royall rank worth or Majesty suitable to herself For many times many powerfull Princes that sued for her favour she hath both carelesly disrespected and scornfully refused And as many times many times hath she therein my will disobeyed and contemned Not regarding her renown shining in their glory Nor respecting my contentment nor progeny eclipsed both in her neglect of me and in her afforded favour to her far inferiours which caused me in justice to punish her hatefull disobedience with imprisonment and yet in nature to bewail her imprisonment though enforced by Justice Where I left her there so you please may you find her a prisoner to her will that will not yet submit her self to my will and therefore by my will worthily chastised without offence to nature For where nature offendeth law there law may justly be executed on Nature Assay her most worthy of all worth and put in ballance your fortune with your fancy and if your hap may drown her favor you shall redouble the smal remainder of my aged dayes and well satisfie the justice of my displeasure with the honour of your desired
