IN the kingdome of Lidia was not the knight of the Sun idle neither receiued he much ease in the time y t he was there for that calling to remēbrance the imprisonment of his friends and also the great loue which hee bare vnto the princesse Claridiana whom he exceedingly loued also vnto the faire princesse Lindabrides was the occasion that he could not take any rest but was put in the greatest care doubt that euer he had in all his life Not knowing when to cleare himselfe of that which he had promised vnto his new friend the king Liseo And because that the time shuld not passe away 〈◊〉 wares The next day after the battaile as the history hath told you the king Liseo determined to goe foorth againe in his company Then the knight of the Sun bid request him very much to let him that day goe foorth alone for that they should haue other dayes wherin they would goe soorth both together The which the king Liseo by no meanes would consent therto saying that first he would consent to loose all his kingdome for that it did accomplish him so to ●…ee rather then to consent to sée him in y ● camp amongst his enimies alone But the knight of the Sun hauing a great desire to goe forth alone said Héere I doo sweare vnto you my good Lord that if you doo not like wall héereof that I will leaue all your friendship the which I doo esteeme very much depart whereas you shall neuer heare more of me Then the king when hee saw him so determined saide My good friend doo your pleasure yet consider I pray you what pleasure I can receiue to see you in y e midst of mine enimies and not be a partner of your paine notwithstanding séeing you are therewith content I will not contend against any thing you will command So this valiant Knight béeing armed with his strong and rich armour and mounted vpon his horse somwhat before that the S●…nne had any sorce hée went foorth out of the Citie at which time the king and the quéene all the kinghts and Ladies were vpon the towers of the citie and at the battle ments for to behold see what should passe with this valyant warlike knight who before that he came into the camp did set his horne vnto his mouth did blow it so strong and loud that ther was no knight so stout in all the camp knowing who he was that did sound it but his hart would tremble thereat and such were there that would gladly haue giuen all that they had vpon condition that they had not entred into the kingdome of Lidia although to the contrary ther were many other which did neuer proue his blowes were very valiant stout who did arme themselues and at the commandemēt of the king they went forth against him the first that went foorth amongst them was one named Alberro borne in Seras being a Knight arraunt he came in company with the king of Arcadia to those parts was counted for one of the most valiauntest knights that was amongst the pagans his armour was so excellent good and made by such art that ther was no blow of sword able to cut it who was mounted vpon his horse with great prid and arrogancy and went towardes the knight of the Sun and without any other salutation or curtesie hee said It shall well appeare foolish and simple

●…nto an ende this my enterprise which I haue vnderta●… And if the battell which I had with the Prince Meridian in your kingdome of Carmania doth cause you to suspect or haue any doubt in mée You doo well vnderstand that the occasion doth grow by the Deitie that is in him of the immortall gods from whom hée all his progenitors doth desend and would not consent nor suffer that by any humane knight he should bée ouercome so that our battell was separated without any victorie of eyther of our part The which was no small fauour and honour vnto mée that the Gods would make mée equall vnto their diuine bountie And séeing that the Prince Meridian is hée who onely is pertaker of the diuine Deitie and no vauntage betwixt vs two for very certaine sure I may account the victorie of my part against the Gréekish Knights without thinking of any néede of help in the bataile that I shall haue with them The Quéene was very discréete and wise and with hir amorous and sweet words dyd pacifie him in such sort that the net dyd still remaine as shée had commaunded it to bée put for a farther effect then shée dyd giue Rodaran to vnderstand And although at that time it did cause in him great anger and griefe yet béefore many daies had passed hée receiued great contentment and pleasure therein so that this was the occasion that mooued this valiant Rodaran and the Quéene of Carmania to come vnto the Court of the Emperour Trebatio and the occasion of this their demaund How the Prince Rodamarte went vnto the bridge of Iaspe for to combat with the valiaunt Rodaran Chapter 39. WIth great care and small rest the ●…alyaunt Prince Rodamarte did passe away the night thincking long till the morning was come for to depart vnto the bridge of Iaspe for to combat with Rodaran for that the day béefore he liked him very well séemed to be a knight of great valour Yet for all that he was of so valiant a courage that he had no feare of his might big proportion but very early in the morning before that the sun had couered the earth he was armed with very strong armour his horse trymmed dressed very richly with cloth of gold which did signifie vnto all people his high estate So in this sort he went foorth of Constantinople with but onely one page which did carry his speare his shéeld And hauing his minde occupied on the loue of the princesse Analiria he trauailed so much that the next day he came vnto the bridge of the Iaspe But Rodaran the quéene with great quietnesse contentment did abide the comming of the gréekish knights So when Rodamarte came vnto the gate of the first tower he found that it was fast shut he commanded his page to call there at who with the ring that hong at the gate he gaue great and mighty blowes straight way apeared one of the kéepers out of a window somewhat high perceiuing that it was a Knight of the emperour Trebatio he willed him to tarrye a while the gate should be opened vnto him The kéeper straight way went told his Lord Rodaran who incontinently did arme himselfe with his strong rich armour and requested the Quéene that she would with hir owne hands help him said L●…dy now shal you 〈◊〉 the difference that is betwixt the greekish Knights your 〈◊〉 and how euill shalbe accomplished the prouis●…es of that king of Gedrosia So when that all things was in very ●…ood order he commāded that the gate of the first tower sh●…uld be open so that y e Prince Rodamarte did enter in there at and comming on the Bridge in the space that was betwixt the first Bridge and the second which was as long as y e corse of a good horse might indure There he found Rodaran mounted on Horse backe with his speare in his hand who was so bigge and of so great stature that he lacked but little to be as bigge as a giant And at the farther end of the great space that was from the first tower vnto the middle tower vnder the vaut therof was the queene Carmania sitting in a chaire of estate with cushions pillowes of cloth of gold very richly curiously wrought with silk So when the prince came vnto the place wheras Rodaran was he did salute him very curteously said Thou shalt vnderstand Rodaran that I am a knight of the Emperour Trebatio one of them that thou didst disceiue openly in the great hall of his Court. And for the loue of a faire Lady whom I doe serue I am come hether for to chastise thée for thy great folly which thou spakest beefore the most fairest damsels most valiantest knights in all the world Therfore turne thy horse for to Iust with mée or els turne deny all that thou spakest ther. With great laughter disdaine Rodaran answered vnto the prince Rodamarte said of a truth knight if that my Lady the quéene of Carmania were not before me in presence possible it were better for me to deny that which I haue spoken then to iust w t you for that you doe seeme to be a gentill valiant knight But for so much as she is present I know not how to excuse my selfe but first consent to loose my life then to commit any such offence Therfore as reason doth require séeing that you do know who I am let me likewise know by whom I shall be ouercome I am said he Rodamarte prince of Cypres vassayle vnto the emperour Trebatio Therfore leaue of these thy words let vs come to the effect of déedes y t thou maist beléeue of certainty that which thou hast now spoken in mockage gesting Unto the immortall gods I doe giue great thanks said Rodaran for that so far as I can perceiue by your gentil semblance that you do seme to be a knight of great estimation if my iudgement doe not disceiue me And therewith all these two valiant knights did depart the one from the other Rodamarte toward the foote of the bridge whereas he entred in Rodaran toward the place whereas the quéene was And when he came nigh vnto hir with great pride hée saide Lady I pray you to giue very good entertainment vnto this prisoner for that he is the prince of cypresse And therewith all the one moued against the other with so great fury that it séemed the bridge did shake vnder them And in the midst of their swift course these two made their encounter in such sort that their s●…aues were sheuered in péeces they passed forwardes on without any mouing by the force thereof till such time as they iustled together with their bodies horse man And by reason that the valyant Rodaran was bigger of body of more force strength he stroke the prince in such sort that he ouerthrew him horse all to

is ther returned againe into y e world that Greeke Achilles or that valiant Hector for that he was fully perswaded that he was not in all the world that could bring him into so great extremitie yet he hoped to kill thē both if they entred into battaile with him for that he was one of the strongest brauest knights in all the world without abating any thing of his great strength but still incresing his couragious furye in such sort that hée béeganne to lay vppon the valyaunt and stout Rosicleer with so strong blowes that if hée had béene an 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 hée had surely cloue it in péeces Likewise if it had beene one other knight with other armour he had ben clouen asunder But by reason that the valiant Rosicleer was in perfect security with his armour although somtimes with y e great fury of his blowes he was astomed almost from himselfe yet he did answere him with other blowes of so great fury that Fulmineo being tormented with them did roare like a Bull. So that in this contension rigor●…us combat these two endured more then two houres euery blow that was stroke did make each other to doubt of his life And for that I will not bée tedious to tell all things perticulerly the which was done in this well foughten perillous battaile I will conclude tell you what hapned in the end It was ordained by the diuine prouidence that this mighty Fulmineo should make an end of his euill diuellish life who being very angry with himselfe blaspheming against all his goods against all things both in the heauens on the earth for that one alone knight did endure so long in battaile against him With an infernall fury which he had within him as it seemed by the great quantity of smoake which came foorth at his beauer he went against Rosicleer with both his hands as he stroke him such a blow vpon his inchanted rich helme that if his sword had not glanced vpon his shoulder ●…o doubt he had ben in great perill Yet for all that it was so terrible that it tooke his remembrance from him made him to fall forwards vpon his saddle bow in such sort that all men did think that he would haue fallen down dead to the ground But this good knight did not long remaine in this trance but came againe to himselfe with a trise hée setled himselfe in his saddle stroke his horse Rondarte with his spurs with so ●…urious wrath mortall courage that the earth seemed to tremble vnder him raising himself a good span in his sadle he went to wards his enemy stroke him such a blow vpon his steely helme that he cloue it a sunder cut his head all to péeces And with the great strength of y e blow his borse was so charged that he bowed his knées to the ground so remained a good space before he arose vp againe In this sort the euill Fulmineo did make his end his soule condempned vnto hell wheras with continuall torment he is plagued for his euill déeds as shall be done vnto those that in this world with so great pride doth commit y e like offence if that by the permission of god he doth not repēt him of them before he die for that his neighbour béeing by him iniured at the day of iudgement he will aske vengeāce of the same But when the knights of Fulmineo saw their Lord slaine dead they were greatly amazed to sée him so soone ouercome slaine by one alone knight that they were without all hart courage for to reuenge his death and remained all astonied and amazed without any moouing as though they had ben a company of Images made of stone beholding of Rosicleer who seemed vnto them to be a knight sent from god to punish chastise the euill déeds and life of Fulmineo So after that Rosicleer had giuen thanks vnto almighty god for his great victory hauing compassion vpon y e damsels which they brought with thē tied he went towards them for to set them at liberty And when he came vnto the first he straight waies knew hir to be Fidelia one of y e damsels of the princesse Oliuia she whom in England brought vnto him the sentence of banishment straight waies calling to remēbrance all that euer had passed he receiued so great sorrow griefe that his hart was all couered with sadnesse in such sort that cleane void of all remembrance he fell frō his horse to the ground as though he had ben dead This his great friend the king Sacridoro when hee saw him in that traunce with a trice he alighted from his horse and went towardes him with great ang●…ish and griefe not knowing what it should be the occasion of that sodaine strange alteration and taking him in his armes he lifted him vp from the ground thinking that in giuing him ayre hee would retourne agayne vnto his remembraunce but all that euer hée could doe did profite him very little for that hée was in such sort that he séemed to haue no li●… within him Then the knights of Fulmenio who were verie glad ioyfull for the death of their Lord did vnloose y e damsels the knights with the damsels came together for to help the king Sacridoro to lift him from the ground to carrie him vnto one of the castles of Fulmenio which was there nigh at hand and when they pu●…led of his helme for to giue him are the damsell Fidelia knew him straight waies by his faire face although in many 〈◊〉 before she had not 〈◊〉 him which was the occasion that he was somwhat al●…red knowing him seeing him in that estate perplexity shedding many teares she wept ve●…y vitterly ouer him although otherwise she was halfe from hir selfe with great ioy that she had found him for that many daies before she had trauatled in his d●…maund for that the time was long Rosicleer ca●…e not vnto himselfe and they seeing that it was a sound accompanied with anguish very deepe sigbes those of Fulmenio did take him in their armes with the helpe of the king Sacridoro they carted him vnto a castle that was

this alteration euill of Rosicleer straight waies requested all the Knights that were ther to depart let him alone being all departed the king requested the damsell to tell him if she brought any message vnto his friend Rosicleer for that of long time trauailing in his compante hee knew of his loue so well as himselfe And when Fidelia vnderstood that that was the king Sacridoro of whom she had heard so much of his dooings with out any suspition
