it fit He should returne in His Kingdome But that He should not forget to cause His greatnesse to appeare by bringing so faire an army from His Countrey that among'st the obstacles which might oppose themselves to their designe He should be able to free Her from those cares and troubles which Their separation causes that in the meane time Shee will indeavor to change Her Fathers anger and bring Him againe in His favour Which She imagines will not be very difficult considering the esteeme which He makes of His vertue Poliarchus having read this letter could not tell what to resolve The imagination of the perill and feare to be discovered caus'd Him to apprehend the journey to Court where he doubted not but His enemies were watching to surprise Him Arsidas and Timoclea fearing least He should miscarry represented Him the danger yet greater then it was But the desire He had to see Argenis made Him despise all the hazzards which they represented He then calls aside His deare friend and declares unto Him that He had rather expose Himselfe to His enemies rage then to goe out of Sicily and not see the Princesse Arsidas seeing the ardour of His passion in lieu of opposing fortifies it by the assurance which he gives Him to runne the same hazard They take leave of Timoclea unto whōPoliarchus protested to be so much obliged that it is out of His power to acknowledge the innumerable courtesies which she hath heap'd upon Him conjures her to believe that at least she hath a Crowne and a King at her devotion assures her that Hee will returne into Sicily so well accompanied that the greatnesse of His birth shall not bee doubted and that then He shall have some manner of meanes to acknowledge the good offices which His trusty friends have done him and then addes that He is going to make use of the perriwigge and beard whereof she had made Him a present to disguise Himselfe Thus with an extreame sorrow He takes His leave of this vertuous Lady which did shed an Ocean of teares at His departure He soone after arrived at Court with Arsidas His Conduct where immediately after He gives notice unto Argenis of His coming the joy which She received thereat cannot be exprest but seeing Him with a forme so different from that of Poliarchus She did shed some teares seeing in what danger He did precipitate Himselfe for Her sake on the other side the contentment which She received to see before Her eyes that which She held most deare in the world caused Her presently to leave off Her teares It was in the Temple in the middest of the devotions and sacrifices where they saw each other but it was impossible to continue this practice full of danger any longer Argenis sent Him word by Arsidas that Hee should with expedition saile into France to raise there with promptitude an army able not onely to overcome the Kings enemies but also all Sicily Arsidas undertooke to fraight a ship for that voyage under colour that he had another to make in Italy They imbarque themselves intending to hold their course towards France but the fates disposed otherwise of it In the meane time the Warre is kindled afresh and the Confederates having reunited their forces caused all the State to rebell against the King who had but foure Holds remayning in one of which being scituat in an Island He retired Himselfe with Argenis and the choyce of his trustiest Servants In this distresse Fortune brought forth new causes of trouble unto Poliarchus and the Princesse The yong King of Sardany and Corse taken with Argenis's beauty whereof the glory as well as the pictures had flowen throughout all the Universe makes a puissant Army takes His course towards Sicily and arrives with His Navy neere unto the Towne where Meleander had retired Himselfe The sight of so many Sayles frights all the Kings party as if they had beene new enemies arrived to dissipate the relickes of His fortune But the King of Sardany sends to Meleander gives Him assurance of His Army and declares Him that taking that interest which He ought in the common case of Kings He was come to assist Him and to helpe Him to chastise His subjects rebellion This new joy causes Him to open His Gates and the King Himselfe prepares to goe and receive Him in His owne shipping But being desirous to take away all suspition unto Meleander and His He commands His Navy to remaine in the roade till they had newes of Him and with a small traine goes to meete with Meleander who with a great freedome leapes into His Ship to honour Him so much the more After the complements the King of Sardany to witnesse that He had no lesse confidence then that of Sicily goes in His Gally and went in company together towards the Towne where Meleander receives Him with as much magnificence as the state of His affaires would permit Having courted a while He hastens the warre and being enflamed with the love of Argenis whom He had found much fairer then Her picture wishes for nought else but Combats desiring to make Himselfe remarkeable in them to shew Himselfe worthy of the love of so faire a Princesse Archombrotus is jealous of this new Rivall doth protest in His heart He will never yeeld Him this glory which He could not suffer that it should be enjoyed by another which was better then He who was Poliarchus These yong Cavalleers edg'd on by their passions doe wonders against the enemies But the Moore was so happy that having saved Meleanders life He with His owne hand slew the chiefe of the factious Neverthelesse the forces which the King of Sardany had brought which doubtlesse had opened the way unto the Victory seemed exceeding considerable unto the King and Court of Sicily Being all returned in the place where Faire Argenis was the onely subject of so many heroicall actions jealousie inflames it selfe the Moore though covertly imployes all his industry to chase the Princesses favour who hath His sollicitations in disdaine and detests in Her heart so visible an infidelity which tends onely to make a shamefull wound in Her constancy The King of Sardany asketh Her in marriage openly unto Her Father who dares not refuse Her after so powerfull a succour wherewith He hath newly oblig'd Him Neverthelesse knowing that His Daughter had no inclination for that Prince He makes use of all manner of artificiall delayes to feede Him with vaine hopes without breaking with Him fearing least being moved with His refusall He should turne His armes against Sicily But where art thou Poliarchus Some few months before He had shipp'd himselfe in that Vessell which Arsidas had caused to be prepar'd to sayle towards the Gaules but He was beaten with such contrary winds and His Ship was so much persecuted with tempestuous stormes that He was constrain'd to abandon it and put Himselfe under the mercy of the waves in a little Cock-boat which went and
