V. How his Father put him Apprentice to a Merchant and the leave he took of Lucinda THe Father of young Aurelius having received an exact account of all that had happened and fearing these Lovers might study a further Revenge to repair their Disgrace as also to prevent any Amours that might happen between him and Lucinda to whom he was not willing he should be Married he took an opportunity to discourse him about putting himself in a way that might render him capable of living in Credit in the World when finding him plyable and ready to submit to what he should propose he told him it was his pleasure he should go to London and there be put an Apprentice to some Honourable Calling that he might be a comfort to him in his Old days and that it should be in his power to chuse him a Master of any Profession Vpon this he had not long considered e're he rep●y'd That seeing it was his pleasure he was contented and for the desire he had to Travel and see strange Countries he could fancy none better than a Merchant To this the Old Man agrees and shortly after he was sent up to London and placed to a Turkey Merchant upon London-Bridge and upon his departure directed these Lines to Lucinda Pardon me Beauteous Maid if Love as yet No power a Conquest o're me has to get That you deserve what e're Love can bestow I must confess but I alas must go And wander o're the World e're I can Love Then be contented and for me ne'r grieve Subscribed Aurelius This flat denyal made the fair Lucinda shed many tears and bewail her hard fortune in loving where she was not repayed with an equal passion but soon after a Rich Farmers Son offering service to her she having with much strugling over come her former affection she changed her passion and Sacrificed her Virginity to the pleasure of this new-come Lover where Revelling in excess of joy we will leave them and follow Aurelius to his new preferment CHAP. VI. How he gained the love of his Master and became Enamoured of Dorinda his fair Daughter OVr Youth upon his Tryal proved so diligent and respectful that it was not long e're he was bound according to the Custom of the City and then doubling his diligence he won the love of the whole Family not omitting any thing that might please or be for his Masters Interest and what time he had to spare he imployed in Manly Exercise of recreating himself in the Fencing-School and in Martial Exploits gaining every where the name of a bold and hardy Youth and one that promised great things In this happy state he lived near three years when Fortune who is as unconstant as the Wind conspired to give him some disturbance for Dorinda his Masters Daughter a beautiful Virgin of about 14 Years of Age returning from the School where she had been brought up at Board her Modesty winning behaviour and Charming Graces by his often gazing on her prompted him to admire her and by degrees to conceive such a passion for that excellent Creature that he was no longer master of his heart which his eyes had given away A while he smothered the flame but in the end it broke out the fiercer and then he knew experimentally what Dorinda had suffer'd often he attempted to discover his passion and as often fear to offend stayed the words at his Tongues-end and all he could do was to sigh and stand confounded in her presence whilst the innocent Lady would frequently ask the reason but had no answer but what his eyes delivered in burning Glances Thus he continued for a month or more at the end of which he resolved one way or other to make his passion known and soon found an opportunity to drop a Letter in the way of the lovely Dorinda containing these words Beauteous Dorinda after many sighs and eager looks I have presumed to let you know if this come to your fair hand that I love you dearer than my own life and to be requited with your Love there is not any thing so hazardus that I would not undertake for your sake the inequallity I must confess is great yet Love is a power obedient to no Law but his own pitty me then as a Lover that love you above all Earthly things and look not on me as your Fathers Servant but your devoted Slave by whose Smiles I live and without which my Life must need be miserable Subscribed Aurelius This did not a little surprize the beauteous Maid who considered that although she might have cause to love him yet he being as then a Servant it would be highly displeasing to her Parents if she should countenance his affections wherefore preferring her duty and obedience before her fancy or the passion of Aurelius the next time she met him her words were That she cou'd not but wonder he should presume to make Love to her who was his Masters daughter e're half his time was expired wished him not to make mention of it any more by Letter or Word least her Father were made acquainted with it to his prejudice and so with a kind of a scornful frown left him as one in a Maze of Grief CHAP. VII How he got leave to go for Turkey and what ensued AUrelius being thus repulsed in his first Love found himself altogether restless and that as often as he beheld his beautiful Mistris his flame increased and his torture was more and more augmented and though he tryed many ways to give way to his labouring mind he found them in vain and therefore concluded unless he was removed from the lovely Object he must be always miserable and perceiving her looks and carriage every day more scornful towards him he resolved to request his Master that he might go for Turkey as his Factor in the next Fleet Which Request of his was granted without much difficulty and in a gallant Equipage took leave though not without some tears of his scornful Mistris who by this time began somewhat to relent that she had so unkindly repulsed his Address but being young and beautiful and considering that those advantages her Indulgent Father would add a large Portion her thoughts of a higher advancement hushed that care and so they parted the valiant Aurelius to the Ship and the Lady to her Chamber where we must leave her who shortly after Marryed a Rich Merchant and followed him into Turkey CHAP.
