that place for the Ladies whom they saw were the two Princess Meridiana and ●ltea who took very great good liking to the two Knights Perianeo and Gramalis who loved them as well so that in the end their friendship arrived to that height that they resolved never to leave one another all daies of their lives and the Prince Perianeo was so amorous of the Princess Meridiana that he quite forgot the Princess Florisbella and she no less ●o●●● him so that at length he enjoyed the Princess as fully as if she had béen his Wife and she permitted him to crop that Maiden-flower and enter that Virgin Zone which had cost the lives of many valorous Knights On the other side Gramalis of Thrace and the Princess Altea loved each other with as fond affection and she permitted him to be Lord of her body and to take such fruit from thence as pleased him best Thus these two Ladies and Knights lived together in all manner of delight and the two Knights plyed themselves so well in their Nocturnal Embraces that both the Princesses were with Child which was great joy and content to them all which pleasure we shall leave them and return to give you an account of other Adventures CHAP. XII How the Princess Persiana and her Husband Duke Alfiron were conducted to Shyraz by Don Bellians of Greece and the Kings of Armenia and Tessifanty where by the way they met with an Adventure THus having left these two Princes and Ladies in all content and pleasure let us reurn to the Princess Persiana and the Company that attended on her who travelled many days without happening on any Adventure at length Don Bellianis being very pensive travelled one day before the rest of the company and being very melancholly for he thought of his dear Mistress the Princess Florisbella on a sudden he heard a voice call to him saying Sir Knight I beséech you tell me where is the next City that I may go quickly to it and procure some aid to some persons of great quality that stand in need of help Don Bellianis giving attention to this discourse and seeing it was a Lady that spake to him he thus replyed Fair Lady if you be not in extream great haste I beseech yon relate to me the occasion of your travel it is possible that I may furnish you with that assistance you expect Ah Sir Knight replyed the Lady it is not in the power of any one particular Knight to effect that which must be done therefore good Sir either Answer me the question or permit me to go forwards Lady said Don Bellianis not far from hence there is much company coming who will be with us presently therefore I pray relate to me your business while they come to us and then I shalf furnish you with such help as shall be néedful The Lady understanding that he spake nothing but reason thus replyed Know then Sir Knight that I belong to the vertuous Princess Mattarosa Daughter to the King of Numidia and Niece to the Souldan of Babylon this Princess hath for many years lived at the Court of the Souldan her Vncle in the Company of the Princess Florisbella her Cousin but of late her Father being grown Old and desirous to dispose of her in marriage before he died sent her Brother Baltasano to the Court of the Souldan to bring his Sister to him Baltasano after he had continued some time in the Court of the Souldan desired leave to depart with his Sister to her Father that expected them to which it was a long time e're he could get the Souldans consent in regard of the great love that hath béen betwéen her and his daughter Florisbella About two Months since there was great Iousts and Tournaments held at the Souldans Court in honor of his Coronation Day at which time many strange Knights and Gyants repaired thither to do their utmost devoirs amongst the rest that came there was one Gyant called Altifer the Proud Lord of an Island in the Sea and his two Brothers and forty Knights This Gyant beholding my Mistress the Princess Matrarosa began to affect her and performed some things for her honor hoping thereby to get her good Will but she who always hated him as v●ell for the deformity of his mind as body vvould by no means consent to come into his Company much less to receive him as a Servant and he having desired her of her Vncle the Souldan and her Brother who both refused him went away with all his Company in much discontent resolving to put in practice some treasonable action that he might obtain her Our Princess and her Brother who suspected no such treason some time after he was gone having taken leave of the Souldan and the Princess Florisbella departed in the Company of twenty Knights for their Guard but we had not travelled above two days when this Traytor Altifer vvith all his company set upon us flew many of our Knights and took the Princess and her Brother Prisoners I séeing that they were taken fled from them and have followed them these thrée days to see still where they lodged at Night and endeavouring to find some help to relieve them and Sir Knight this is the last day before they will embarque themselves for the Island whereef he is Chief and then all the means that I can use will be ineffectual for their Release This Sir Knight is the substance of my Message and therefore pray fail not to give me the best directions you can Don Bellianis having heard this Discourse and considering that in relieving the Princess Mattarosa he should do his Princess her Cousin a considerable service resolved to undertake it and therefore the Company being now come up to him he went to the Princess Persiana and her Husband and recounted to them the Damsels discourse and told them that he must beg leave of them to go and relieve the Princess and her Brother promising them to return with all speed possible as soon as he had effected his Enterprize They not only consented to his departure but also gave him leave to take what company of Knights he desired but he choosing only twenty of the most hardy left the rest to conduct them to Shyraz and so he took his leave and departed with the Damsel who séeing her Iourney turn to so good account was very thankfull and Rode on apace to assist her Princess CHAP.

had béen so pleasant to all in general Ah! replied the Princess with a sigh I never expect any good news again since I had that unpleasant sight of the red Purse with the Jewels which I gave to my unfortunate Son Peter Madam replied the Knight of Cupid before I shall relate to you what I intended I desire of you to tell me what you mean by that red Purse with Jewels for I know somewhat of that Adventure I shall soon satisfie you in that unfortunate story replied she and so began I had said she a Son named Peter who was a very hopeful Person and being Knighted desired as other young men do to travel abroad in the world to seek Adventures his Father and I both unwillingly permitted him and at his departure I gave him a red Purse and in it three Jewels giving him a charge to be careful of them but so it is that he in some unfortunate Sea-voyage lost them and I believe his life for the very same Purse and Jewels came since to my hands in the belly of a Sturgeon and from thence I conclude that he at that time perished for I could never hear any news of him since his departure And at this she concluded her discourse with a great sigh followed by some tears The Knight of Cupid much wondered at the strange adventure of the Purse but however he soon guessed how formerly it had happened and soon gave them a particular account of their Son Peter The old Prince and Princess hearing this joyful news were so glad that she good Lady fell into a swoon for joy but by the assistance of her Damsels soon recovered and would have embraced and kissed the Knight of Cupid for his good news but he desired her to be patient and he would relate the whole of her Sons Adventures to her and thereupon he acquainted them of his arrival in Sardinia his love to the Princess Magdalena her leaving her Parents to travel with him their shipwrack on the Isle of Sicilia the loss of the Purse and Iewels which occasioned the loss of the Princess and his great pains in searching for her in which search said the Knight of Cupid I am now engaged And thus did the Knight of Cupid finish his discourse not only to the great joy and satisfaction of the Parents of the worthy Knight Peter but also all the Family all the City all the Province nay all the Kingdom rejoycing thereat and now was the Knight of Cupid much more honoured by all then he had béen more especially by the Prince of Munster who entertained him in his own Palace and was very desirous to know his Quality which our Knight as yet concealed telling him however that he should know it before he parted And now the Court being filled with this good news it was not long before it came to the ears of Magdalena who was much joyed thereat and thought to discover her self but she was prevented by the Squire Florello who séeing Magdalena knew her and being admitted to her presence thus began I am very much mistaken if I have not formerly been very well acquainted with you and that if you look earnestly on me as I have done on you you may know me through the disguise I am now in as well as I do you though disguised as I am sure you are Magdalena Knowing that the Speaker was in the right as to her disguise she looked earnestly but all that she could answer was That indeed the features of the face were known to her but in that habit she could discover no further but said she if you do know me as you say I pray tell me of that knowledge and then I shall the better judge who you are also I know replied Florida that you are the Princess Magdalena of Sardinia and if you look well on me you may also know me to be your Cousin Florida Princess of Sicilia At these words they joyned arms and bodies and embraced one another and having spent some time in that pleasing exercise the Princess Magdalena said Dear Cousin since you know me you also know the reason of my present disguise wherefore I pray tell me the reason of yours The very same reason replied Florida Love is the occasion and now you are found my Adventures are at an end Whereupon she acquainted her with all her particular Adventures as her Love to the Knight of Cupid and her strange attending him thus disguised And now these two Ladies became pleasant and consulted what was necessary to be done to compleat their happiness and therefore it was concluded that the Princess Florida should with the first conveniency discover all to the Knight of Cupid and after that several discourses had passed betwéen them how they should manage their affairs they separated Florida soon found out the Knight of Cupid who could not well endure her out of his company and they coming into a convenient place she thus began My Lord I hope you intend in few days to leave this place and return to my Lady Yes replied he but I would gladly find the Princess Magdalena and then I would make all possible haste to see my Lady And will you replied she be married to her so soon as you see her Assure your self replied the Knight that the first moment I shall see her I will be married to her if she desires it and I will never have any other desires but what shall please her Well then replied Florida I shall tell you some news that will please you and thus it is I have heard of the Princess Magdalena and to morrow I will acquaint you further of her The Knight of Cupid hearing this desired presently to be further satisfied but Florello asked leave till the next morning to perform his promise and that being come they both arose and Florello who must now lose that name left the Palace and went to the Monastery where according to appointment a very fair Gown and other necessaries according to the quality of a Princess was provided and Florida dressed therein by such time as this was done the Knight of Cupid was come and admitted to the presence of the Principal where he thus began Madam I was informed that you could give me some account of a strayed Princess named Magdalena Truly replied she I know somewhat of her but there is a Lady in this place that can give you certain intelligence of her I beg the favor then said the Knight to sée and speak with this Lady That you may said Magdalena and thereupon coming into the Room where the Lady was dressed took her by the hand and being veyled led her out She came near the Knight of Cupid and stood some time veyled and he earnestly expecting to sée and speak to her but at length she turned up her veyl and discovered her self to be the true Princess Florida Our Knight now looking earnestly on her started back as amazed and cryed out What do
