mangled but yet the hurts not déeply entring by reason their dexteritie and skill much holpe them which is a matter of great consequence in a combate triall where both parts are of equall valour and knowledge Til about mid-day thus lasted the difference their bloode in manie places altering the cullour of their Armour when at last Tarnaes thus spake to Leonato You see Sir in what estate we are both brought yet neither of vs certaine who shall haue the victory therefore so please you wée le pause awhile and putting off our Armour wee shall soone make proofe of the worthier person and let him be renowned according to his merrit Leonato who neuer was capable of any feare or dismay quickly replied that he was well contented with this motion so either of them stepping aside to his Squire in very short while they were both disarmed Then after they had walked and breathed a space they came againe together but in a contrary maner from their first kinde of fight for each opposing the right side of his bodie to his aduersary made defence of his left side breaking many desperate blowes thrusts according as they were diuers times dangerously offered When the Squires beheld their Lordes in so apparant perrill of their liues they intended to make out vnto the roade wayes in hope to find some Knight that might come to pacifie them and pursuing their purpose they were no sooner entred vpon the high-way but they sawe a Knight come riding toward them seeming answerable in courage to either of theyr Maisters to him thus spake one of the Squires Neuer was a Knight met in a more needfull time vouchsafe Sir to goe with vs helpe to saue the liues of two honourable Knights then whom there liues none better in the worlde The Knight who was Palmerin of England imagining that they belonged to the Court of Constantinople went hastily with them and beeing come to the Combattants lifting vp the ●euer of his Helmet hee stept betwéene them saying What fury faire Knights hath made you so cruell and vnkinde to one another let me intreate ye to hold awhile and answere me Leonato knowing it was his Father that spake retired backe and so did Tarnaes where-vpon Palmerin thus began againe Tell me Leonato the cause of your quarrell which I am much afrayde is grounded vpon loue if so or howsoeuer else it be so please you to referre it to my iudgement I doubt not but to satis-fie you both right nobly Leonato declared to his Father that their strife was for the loue they both bare to faire Candida and Tarnaes likewise confirmed the same whereto Palmerin thus presently replied Why my friends you knowe it is a matter meerelie impossible that the Lady should be wife to you both let me then so farre preuaile in your patience that I may nominate wiues for you both such as I dare warrant to eyther of your contentment Palmerin was of such honour estéeme among all such Knights as had knowledge of him as these young gallants could not well gain-say his noble offer but referring themselues to his discretion he thus procéeded My Lord Tarnaes if your thoughts were as agréeable as mine there is a Lady that I could wish to be your wife namely my daughter called Fior-nouel●a who although she be over-ouer-young as yet for marriage yet goes she● beyond Miragarda in beautie the reason why I vse these spéeches is that I wish you a wife of greater degrée then shee i● whom my so●ee Leonato affects therefore because she is lesse worthy then your selfe let him enioy Candida of mean● qualitie repayring that want onely by your kinde brother-hoode Tarnaes perceiuing the honourable minde of Palmerin though it much displeased him to alter his affection yet cōsidering hee impaired not but rather augmented his reputation especially in regard of Fior-nouellas beautie beside great hopes of further aduauncement accepted Palmerins gentle offer and so did Leonato who loued Candida with such intire zeale as her pouertie coulde not be any hinderance thereof her birth and faire vertues onely made his election of her Vpon this agreement Palmerin and they mounted presently on horsebacke and he conducted them to a neere adioyning village where their hurts ●ere well regarded and so soone as they were thorowly recouered they iournied all thrée to Constantinople CHAP. LXXI How Primaleon and Arguto fought together neere to Constantinople and how no man could part them but the Emperour Primaleon AFter that the learned Aliarte had prepared all things in readines hee called Primaleon aside and spake thus to him Thou truly valiant and worthily renowned Knight of Fortune right well I wote that your heart nowe trauailes with no other thoughts but onely how to espouse the faire Victoria whom you haue with such honour and déere paines deserued Yet fauour me to tell you that in respect you are Nephewe to my Lord the Emperour it is necessary that he should bestow so great a gift on you for neither dare her Father nor I deale in the matrimoniall contract before his highnes pleasure be first vnderstood Neuerthelesse assure your selfe that no Knight but you onely shall enioy her albeit she will cost you dearer then as yet she hath done in a matter which you can by no meanes escape wherefore let me perswade ye that hauing taken leaue of her and her father you trauaile alone to Constantinople where it shall not be long before we will méete you there performe your long desired nuptiall Primaleon though but young yet being wise discreete allowed the wizzards counsaile to be sound and good and therefore without dwelling vpon any other doubts he went to the Prince Florian who was reasoning with his daughter concerning Primaleons valour and vertues to tempt and try her disposition toward him because already he had determined in his owne minde frankly to bestow her vpon him in marriage Primaleon being come to him spake in this manner My Lord Florian I am desirous to followe some priuate intent of mine owne which happily may guide me I know not whether but gladly would I encounter some aduenture of woorth before I would be seene in the Emperours presence for hee in his youth ranne through many rare fortunes enough for me to admire at without any vaine opinion of equalling therefore I craue your fauour for my departure and commend all my highest hopes to the gracious regard of this beautifull Princesse When the Lady Victoria heard his kinde spéeches a crimson blush leapt vp into her chéekes and so well as shee could her affliction of mind held excused for his so suddaine departure she formed a pretty kind of wandring discourse intermedled with broken sighes and faint smiles the raine in her eyes being readier then her tongue yet forgot shee not to thanke him for deliuering her from that hellish enchauntment promising to be as mindfull therof as so great a benefit did iustly deserue So Primaleon leauing them went aboorde a

with him foorth of the Citty entred a wood neere adioyning where letting her horse run loose on his bridle like one escaped from an enemy shee entred the Citty dissembling extraordinarie feare and comming to the Castell gate where Ristoranos guard gaue their attendance was quickly knowne by them and soone conueyed in at the wicket shee still seeming doubtful of her securitie And comming to Targiana so artificially she continued her feigned feare as shee verily imagined her to bee escaped from Florian. But when time came that they might more safely conuersse together shee then reuealed all whereby Targianaes hope very greatly increased seeing now an entrance to her freedome so soundly begun Florian perceiuing that the Princesse was got into the Castle and hauing with his presence a farre off comforted Targiana armed Turke-like he went and offered his seruice to Sucusano who séeing him so brauely disposed and but young withall would needes haue him sit downe by him but Florian dooing him double reuerence beganne in this manner Most mightie Lord I am sonne to a Turke who serued most faithfully the great Emperour deceassed and thereby receiued of him no meane benefits I that desire to doe you as loyall seruice hearing that my Princesse is imprisoned by Ristorano in the Castell of Tubante and that he would vsurpe the state from her am minded to aduenture my life for her deliuerie Let me then entreat your highnesse to doe some-what for so great a sister as your owne and my Soueraigne wherein beside eternall fame following so glorious an enterprise shée will acknowledge herselfe deeply indebted vnto you when she shall be seated in her kingdoms of Babilon and Turkie And might it please yee but to fauour me in thys enterprise I offer my selfe bodie to bodie against so many as dare maintaine Ristorano to be no traytour trusting more in iustice of the cause then any hardiment or valour in my selfe Sucusano very respectiuely noted Florian all the while he spake and iudging him to be a man very valiant replyed that seeing him so loyally inclined towards his princesse he woulde gladly haue both the Ladies set at libertie because his sister was likewise prisoner with her and therefore hee wished to them both alike Then presently he sent one of his Captaines well accompanied to the citty to Ristorano requesting to haue deliuered him his Sister and Targiana whom he laboured to dispossesse of her estate and if anie of his would iustifie Ristorano not to be a traytor hee shoulde meete a Knight in field who would make it good vpon him by sword and Launce Ristorano offended at this demaund which dissolued all his former dissignes would haue satis-fied Sucusanos Embassadour that he did send him his Sister and knewe not how his purpose was impeached But now his demaunding of both the Ladies droue his sences into such a confusion as hee knew not what to imagine concerning the Armenian Princesse And in regard a Turkish Knight backt by Persians would fight against the Citty and requested combate he intended to prouide for the present perrill lycencing the Embassadour to depart saying His Sister he had already sent him but with Targiana he had not to meddle The Embassador bringing this aunswere to his Lord and Florian beeing aduertised thereof made hast to the field to loose no time and least the Persians mind should hap to be changed hearing that his sister had beene sent him before and taken from the Knights as hath béen before declared Ristorano fearing no lesse the Turkes then the Persians turning him to his Knights said Which of you dare goe combat this companion bring his head to me Many valiant Lords profered themselues in hast and great contention there was who should goe first but the lot falling to the Prince of Tharsus he armed himselfe for the purpose and came so disdainfully forth of y e Citty that without speaking any word to Florian hee ranne against him with his Launce wherewith Florian being mooued met him in the midst of the course the Turkes staffe hitting on his shielde made him loose a stirrop but Florians passed with such force through his breast that he fel downe dead to the earth The Persians seeing a victory so easily obtained both ioyed meruailed thereat Contrariwise they of the citty stood amazed Neuerthelesse the Lord of Antioche a man of great mind and opinion presented himselfe encountring with Florian hurt him a little on the arme albeit himselfe had such a salutation on the pate as he was liker to lie along then keepe his saddle Then Florian determining either to die this day or regaine Targiana smote at him with his sword which lighting on his shoulder cleft him downe to the saddle and cut off his horses head likewise This was such a fearefull astonishment to Ristoranos Knights as no more beeing willing to aduenture themselues they drewe backe into the Citty where Ristorano fearefull of the people sought by what meanes Targiana might be slaine as alwaies before hee aymed thereat but because he knew not who to trust and sawe euery one enclined to fauour their naturall Soueraigne hee resolued with himselfe vppon spéedie flight Then hearing what a great rumor was at the walls the Persians fully perswaded of successe hauing him for their Captaine who had so soone ouer-come two such valiant Turkes hée drew neere with diuers of his trustiest folowers to make head against them going to a false posterne of the Castle caused Targiana to be fetched foorth that he might haue her along with him hoping in extremitie to yeeld her for safegarde of his owne life or else by béeing still possest of her to haue vse and gouernment of the state This could he not performe so secretly but hee was discouered by the people who cryed out with loud voyce that Targiana was led away to death whereon he was pursued by so great multitudes that hee hauing worke enough to doe to escape aliue and knowing howe fewe of his owne people did affect him left Targiana behinde him Some fearing least the Citty should bee taken and spoyled by the Persians hung foorth their flagge of truce and opening the gate receiued in Florian and foure thousand Knights with him according as Sucusano had before appoynted who behaued himselfe on the other side very valiantly But Florian fearing least some disaster shoulde betide Targiana ranne presently to the Castell where he found her in companie of them that Ristorano left her withall who perceiuing the Tyrant fledde laboured to kéepe her from perrill and so were returned backe with her thither againe Of him they grewe all afraide and in danger had they béene but that Targiana knewe him by managing his weapon thē stepping forward Sheath your sword my Lord quoth shee for these Knights are for my safetie and at your seruice Florian séeing his intent accomplished full of ioy tooke Targiana by the hand but shee trembled as shewing the great loue shee bare him from the beginning when he
