that will be gracious in his Mistresse eye must by outward attempts and vnaccustoured purposes séeke to confirme his happinesse Wherevpon vpon sundry conclusions he inserred thus that the next day by certaine rare attemptes hée would either finish that he had so long sought for or perish in the perfourmance of his enterprise and the day seruing to attempt that which he imagined by night he bethought himselfe of the Cymnosophists of y ● countrey among whom remembring one of singular experience and notable lerning he resorted vnto him opening first how he was inthralled by fancie how precluded by all occasions especially by the fathers disdaine next how some opportunitie serued him lastly how the agony tormented him desiring the Philosopher whose wisedome coulde sée into all causes to search out the fatall Exigent of his loue Appollonius for so the Gymnosophist was called hauing calculated the Gentlemans natiuitie and séeing some planets retrogate couering the asperitie of the destenies with the hidden secrecie of an Artist discoursed thus O Forbonius if as Socrates did his golde thou drown thy affections it would follow that with him thou shuldest enioy frée libertie of thy selfe and not suffer thy affects to rule thy reason Art thou bewtiched by Circes of a humane shape hast thou gotten a beastly forme of a man borne to reasonable actions wilt thou now swallow an vnreasonable misfortune If many cares be the decayers of the minde if many sorrowes the consumers of the body better were it by day to studie the lyberall Sciences then at such time as we shoulde imploye our selues to honourable attempts to become vnhonourably licentious Alas Forbonius considering what a louer is what a louer suffereth what a louer séeketh I finde the person idle minded I finde his patience an insupportable sorrow I finde himselfe not himselfe in y ● he is vnreasonable The daily actions of a louer are discommendable the night exclamations so odious as that they in this cōuert nature who shadowing y ● world with darknes limitting each creature his rest yet they euen in y ● time labor in out-cries in which they shuld take conuenient rest My good friend y ● gretest wisdome is to measure euery attēpt w t his casualties if ought happen y ● may séeme impossible to cast off the rayne and suffer it to passe in that sorme it was concluded in Thou louest Forbonius better wer it thou didst loath for by loathing thou canst but be comp●ed vnnaturall but by louing thou mayst fortune to be vnfortunate If all thinges be ordered by the higher powers it is vayne you must conclude to infringe what is concluded on if the destenies haue appoynted that Forbonius shall not be happie in inioying Prisceria Forbonius is not reasonable in suing for Prisceria Unhappie Paris in Helen though fortunate in inioying her beautie but when loue begins with a fading benefit it endeth with an euerlasting sorrow The conclusion of a wise man must be to yéelde to the necessitie of Fate and to continue contented with that which cannot be altered by succession Tell me by the immortall Gods my good friend I beséech thée what happines conceiuest thou possible to follow either in enioying thy Lady or finishing thy loue Alas the greatest swéete is a continuall sower and after many vnfortunate repulses a sodain misfortune makes an ende of many a yeares courting I speake all this to this ende my Forbonius because I would preuent that by counsell in thée which otherwise if thou follow thine owne lure will be a confusion to thy selfe Thou comest to me for counsell to compasse loue and I would confirme thée that thou shouldest auoyd the occasions of following loue Thou wouldest by my meanes strayne arte to subdue nature yet I labour both to direct by arte and to suppresse by nature Truly my good friend looking but to the hidden secretes of nature I finde thée subiect to manye misfortunes and no way to be remedied but by one only vertue Thou shalt after long toyles compasse that thou hopest for yet when thy greatest plesures begin to take the originall euen then shall they finde their exigent Since therfore the reuolutions of the heuens conclude that by onely continent forbearaunce thou shalt be disburdened of many misfortunes I beséech thée lette this transitorie pleasure be accompted off as it is and finish vp thy loue with my counsell so shalt thou be fortunate in preuenting destenie and continue in happines wher too much loue may make thee vnluckie Forbonius lead by the inconstant opinion of his young yeares not waying the graue and fatherly councell of Appollonius aunswered him thus O Father when the wound is giuen it is ill counsayling how to auoyd the stripe and when the heart is captiuated there can be but small recouery by counsell how wer it possible for me to restrain that in my selfe which the Gods could not limit in their Deities Easie it is for the whole Phisition to counsell the sick patient but when y ● extremitie wringeth excessiuely none bideth the martirdome but the afflicted O Appollonius my minde measureth not the iniquitie of fate neyther doo I séeke limits for that which by no direction can be exterminated from out my heart So that good father rather respect my present sute then my future discommoditie and by your counsell make ende to my sorrowes whereby it will thus come to passe that enioying the pleasure I long wish for I may more boldlye beare the assault of froward fortune when it commeth If it be onely death that my enemie Fate threteneth me with let me enioye this benefit as for Fortune I will be friende to her enemie the which is the graue and acquaynting my soule but with the onely Idea of my Mistresse thinke my selfe as happie as they that haue walkt the Elisian fieldes a long space to their content Appollonius willing to doo him good yet sorrie hée could not preuaile with his counsaile at length began thus Since my Forbonius thou wilt be ruled by no counsayle thou must be pertaker of thine owne sorrowe As for thy request I will so satisfie thée as not onely thou shalt at thy pleasure conceiue thy Mistresse minde but also open vnto her the secrettes of thy heart by which meanes thou shalt héerein haue accomplishment of thy wish though in so dooing thou shewe but lyttle wisedome Wherevpon resorting to his studdie he brought foorth a mirrour of notable operation a practicke in prospectiue which deliuering to Forbonius he commended it thus O my friend I deliuer thée that héere to féede thy humour which was composed to comprehend Arte. In this myrrour thou maist after thou hast written thy minde taking the Sunne beame send the reflection to thy mistresse eye wherby she may as legeably read thy letters as if they were in her handes and by thy instructions made priuie to the secrets of thy glasse retourne thine aunswere in that very forme in which thou sendest For the rest I leaue it to

not thy liking by lookes for there be some holy diuells to bée briefe the end is this he is best at ease that least meddeleth with anie of them Demosthenes will not buie repentaunce so déere as with high summes to purchase transitorie pleasures and I had rather thou shouldest learne of a Philosopher then bée instructed by thy owne fancie marke this axiome there is no vertue which is odious after
