Brittayne By this time sundrie spéeches past betweene him and the King where-among he dissembled his spéedie departure to prouoke a desire in him to stay him and thus spake Amadis Dread Lord seeing the Lady is frée I desire leaue for my returne againe but if in ought I may do your Maiestie any seruice I am the man readie to be commanded and you the Prince whome most I desire to honor Good fréend quoth the King your departure must not be so soone except you delight to displease me God forbid answered Amadis in respect my endeuour is altogether to obey you Do you thinke sayd the King it is any obedience if I may not intreate a longer stay In sooth my Lord quoth Amadis you may and shall commaund for in greater matters then this I will not offend ye Goe then and vnarme you replied the King and speaking these woordes him selfe took him by the hand conducting him to a sumptuous Chamber where he left him to take some refection with Arban King of Norgalles and the Duke of Glocester whome he commaunded to kéepe him company for King Lisuart was a Prince that especially fauoured and honored strange Knightes Hauing left Amadis thus woorthely accompanied he went to the Quéene and tolde her in what manner he had staied the good Knight who ouercame Dardan But doo ye my Lord quoth she know his name No verily answered the King for in respect of the promise I made him I durst not demaund that question of him It may be saide the Quéene he is the Sonne to King Perion of Gaule I would it might fall out so well answered the King Doo you know quoth the Quéene who may put vs out of this doubt euen the Squire that talked with Mabtla who came to search him in your Courte and saide how he was aduertised of his arriuall in this Countrye long before Immediatly the King caused Gandalin to be called and without declaring any thing to him thus spake Follow me for I must shew a Knight to thée that I may be resolued if thou know him or no. Gandalin attended on the King entring the Chamber where Amadis was and Gandalin viewing him very earnestly feigned to haue seene him long time since then setting his knee to the ground saide Ah my Lord great trauaile haue I endured to finde you since I departed from the Scottish Court Gandalin my good freend right hartely art thou welcome to me what newes doost thou bring None but good my Lord answered Gandalin all your noble freendes are in perfect health commending them-selues to your excellencie but hence-foorth Sir you must conceale your selfe no longer then turning to the King he thus procéeded Mighty King he that hath beene so long time vnknowne is this braue Prince the famous Amadis Sonne to the inuincible King Perion of Gaule and then came his Father to vnderstand so much when he slewe in combate the puissant King Abies of Ireland by meanes wherof he recouered his Realme which was well néere lost By these deuises was Amadis discouered and better welcommed then before for til then he was not knowen but through his famous déedes the renowne wherof was euery where blazed abroad and now was he so well honoured for his vertue as his noblenes required So spent they the whole day in honorable feasting vntill such time as eche one withdrew him self when King Lisuart commaunded the King of Norgalles that he should lodge in Amadis Chāber afterward whē they were alone to sound his minde and vnderstand by all meanes possible if he would consent to remain in his seruice Thus leauing them together he returned to the Quéene and to her thus spake Madame hardly shall I cause Amadis to stay as mine nor can I tell which way to compasse it albeit I neuer had greater desire to any Gentleman of long time for the high account is helde of him would cause mée to be much more feared and redoubted My Lord quoth the Quéene graunt him any thing he shall demaund and doo your selfe present him what you imagine will best please him He requesteth nothing of me replied the King for if he did I would consent therto more willingly thē he could desire Me thinkes it were good saide the Quéen to intreat him first by some other of our Courte and if they cannot preuaile will him to come sée me your Daughter and our Cozin Mabila they likewise shall sollicite the matter for they knew him when he serued them as a Squire Then shall we let him vnderstand how all the Knightes héer are yours and none but thinkes him selfe honored therby him will we desire to be one of the company that you may enioy his seruice when need shall require This will be a good meane answered the King to procure his stay and if he will not be wonne by you we may well iudge him of lesse ciuilitie then Chiualrie Now because it wexed somewhat late the King bad his Quéene good night and went to his Chamber On the other side the King of Norgalles perswaded his new come guest that he would abide in the Court of King Lisuart but Amadis could so cunningly dissemble that he altogether disguised the chéefe poynt of his desire and might not by all these intreties be wun When he perceiued he laboured in vaine on the morrow morning he brought him to the King of whome Amadis made offer to take his leaue but the King answered him in this manner My good fréend you should haue doone me pleasure not to departe so soone yet can I not constraine ye to tarye against your will but my Queene would gladly sée you before your departure Nor will I goe my Lord answered Amadis before I haue doone my dutye to her wherupon taking him by the hand he brought him into her chamber and thus spake to her Sée héere Madame King Perions sonne of Gaule who is come to salute you before his departure In sooth my Lord answered the Queene he dooth me great honor and he is very hartely welcome hither Then Amadis stepping to her fell on his knée to kisse her hand but she caused him to rise and sit downe by her when the King perceiuing they would enter into further talke with-drew himselfe to discourse with his Knights while they conferred together In meane while the Queene ●●urteously entertained Amadis but the other Ladyes and Gentlewomen who had heard such fame of his beautie and excellent perfections began to eye him very diligently meruailing that nature had so enriched him with the only thing they most desired Now knew Amadis by their countenances what iudgement they held of him yet durst he net turne his head aside fearing least seeing his Oriana by some sudden mutation he might reueale what carefully he coueted to hide And as he continued in this perplexitie the Princesse Mabila came and did him reuerence wherevpon the Quéene the better to compasse her intent called her Daughter who dissembled as if she scant knewe him and
you take the one you must néedes haue the other for they will not be seperated I am the better pleased answered the King then calling Agraies to him saide My Sonne I will that you loue these two Gentlemen as I doo their Father When Gandales saw that the King would haue them away in good earnest with the teares in his eyes he thus spake in his hart My Childe that so soone beginnest to proue Fortune now sée I thee in the seruice of them who one day may happily serue thée if it please God to guide and protect thee as I shall humbly pray for and suffer that the woords of Vrganda the vnknowen spoken to me may proue true making me so happy as to liue to sée the time of those great meruailes promised thée in Armes The King who noted Gandales séeing that his eyes were filled with teares came to comfort him saying Beléeue me I neuer thought you had béene such a foole as to wéepe for a Childe Ah my Lord answered Gandales it may be vpon greater occasion then you think for and if it please ye to know the trueth I will presently tell ye héere before your Quéene So he tolde the whole discourse how he found the Gentleman of the Sea and in what equipage and he had procéeded with that which Vrganda foretolde him but that he remembred the oathe he tooke Now my Lord saide Gandales deale for him as you shall please for so God helpe me according to his beginning I thinke him to be issued of great linage When the King heard this he estéemed much the better of him that he had so carefully nourished the childe he found and thus answered It is great reason seeing God hath doone so much for him as to preserue him from so great a dāger that now we be diligent in his education and endowe him with habilities when time shall serue In good faith my Lord said the Quéene so please you hee shall be mine during his young yéeres and when he comes to mans estate I will deliuer him to serue you Well Madame quoth the King I giue him you Now early on y e next morning the King would set forward wherfore the Queene not hauing forgot the gift of her Lord tooke with her Gandalin and the young Gentleman of the Sea whom she commaunded to be so carefully attended as her owne Sonne for she tooke such pleasure in beholding him that dayly she would haue him neere her owne person because he had such a chéerefull spirit and so well gouerned withall as he was well liked of euery one so that whatsoeuer he did passed with generall allowance and no other pastime had he but in shooting and cherishing dogges for the chase Now dooth the Authour leaue this matter returning to that which happened to King Perion and his newe freende Elisena King Perion as you haue already heard beeing in Gaule where he vnderstood by his Philosophers the exposition of his Dreame as also what the Damosell had told him That when he recouered his loste the Kingdome of Ireland should lose her flower he became more pensiue then before yet could he vnderstand nothing therof As he thus sadlye spent his dayes it chaunced that an other Damosell entred his Pallace who brought him a letter from Elisena whereby she gaue him to knowe that King Garinter her father was dead and she remained alone and for this cause he should pittie her in that the King of Scottes would take her Kingdome from her For the death of King Garanter was Perion somewhat sorrowful but yet he comforted himself by thinking he should goe to see his freend towards whome he had not diminished one iotte of his affection wherfore he quickly dispatched the Damosell saying to her Returne and say to your mistresse that without staying one whole day I shalbe in short time with her The Damosell wel pleased with this answere returned and after the King had set his affaires in order he parted in good equipage to see his Elisena and iournied so spéedily as he ariued in little Brittayne where he heard newes that King Languines had alreadye gotten all the chéefe of the Country except those Citties which Garinter gaue to Elisena who now abode as he vnderstood at a place named Arcate whether he addressed him selfe If he were there well receiued I leaue to your iudgementes and she likewise of him whom she loued so much After the welcomming and feasting of one an other the King tolde her that he would now marry her and for that cause she aduertised her kinred and Subiectes which she did with all dilligence coulde be deuised as also with so great contentation as her hart might desire for héerin onlye consisted the summe of her affections Which being heard by the King of Scottes and how to accomplishe this King Perion was already ariued with his Sister he sent immediatlye for all the noble men of his Realme to beare him company in dooing honor and welcome to the King his brother At his comming he was graciously receiued by King Perion and after by embrac●uis they hadsaluted eche other and the nuptialles likewise thorowlye ended the Kinges determined to returne home into their owne Countryes King Perion trauayling toward Gaule with his Quéene Elisena and somewhat weary with tediousnesse of the way he would refresh him selfe along by a Riuer side and while the tentes were erecting he rode softlye alone by the water bancke imagining how hee might knowe the trueth whether Elisena had a Childe according as his Philosopher told him in expounding his Dreame But so long continued he in this thought that riding on without anye regarde he came to an Hermitage which was néere at hand wherfore finding him selfe at a place of deuotion he alighted tying his Horsse to a trée that he might goe in to say his prayers And entring the Church he found there a very auncient religious man who comming to méete him saide Knight is it true that King Perion is maryed to our Kinges daughter Yea verily answered the King Praised be God saide the good Hermite for I knowe certainlye that she loueth him with all her hart How can you tell that replyed the King Euen from her owne mouth saide the good olde man The King then hoping he shoulde heare of him the thing which he moste desired to knowe said I praye ye Father tell me what you haue vnderstood of her and me for I am King Perion Truely Sir answered the wise man héerein should I greatly faulte and iustly might she repute me an heretique if I should manifest what she hath told me vnder confession suffise your selfe with that I haue declared namely the true and sincere loue she beareth you But séeing I haue met ye in a place so conuenient I will that ye knowe what a Damosell in mine opinion very wise saide to me at the time you came firste into this Countrey yet spake she to me so darkelye as I neuer knewe well how to
