they neither enjoy the Lawrel Olive or Cypress but go to the Grave unregarded or forgotten or live in shame despised But those that are industrious and valiant may they sit high in Honour's Throne and Fame blow their Praises so loud and far that no time can stop the Sound Then the two Armies being set in Battel-array the Prince to save the effusion of blood finding his Army not full of alacrity sent the young Geral a Challenge who although he knew himself unfit for a single Duel accepted it being afraid of the dishonour of denying it but the two Armies would not consent to look on whilst they fought for in the Encounter both Armies joined in cruel fight But she having no skill in the art and use of the Sword nor strength either to assault or resist was wounded and her Wound bled so fast that she fainted and fell down to the ground But the Prince who was of a Noble nature perceiving by her shape that she was but a Stripling run to unty her Head-piece and viewing her Face straight knew her and was so astonished thereat that he had not power to stir for the present but stopping the Wound as well as he could brought life again yet so faint she was that she could not speak neither had he power to go away but sate by until he was found in that posture In the mean time the Army being left to chance having not their General to direct them Fortune play'd a part of Civility and Courtship giving victory to the Ladies so the Queen's Army had the day and some of the common Soldiers seeking for Spoil found them he sitting by holding her in his Arms from whence they took her and put her in a Litter and he also in the same as a Prisoner to carry them to the body of the Army and as she went having recovered her Spirits again thus complaining she said I have heard of Pleasure ne're could it obtain For what we Pleasure call still lives in Pain Then Life is Pain and Pain is only Life Which is a Motion Motion all is strife As forward backward up or down or so Side-ways or in a Circle round doth go Then who would live or would not wish to dye Since in the Grave there is no Misery O let me dye strive not my Life to save Death happy is and Peace lies in the Grave The Prince told her She preached to her self a false Doctrine for said he Life is a blessing which the Gods do give And nothing shews them Gods but that they live They 're the Original of Life the Spring Life the beginning is of every thing And Motion is from all Eternity Eternal Motions make the Gods to be To wish no Life we wish no Gods and then No Resurrection to the Souls of Men In Resurrection we as Gods become To be none would refuse a Martyrdome The very Being pleaseth Nature well Were she to live always in pains of Hell Nature nothing is more horrid to her Than Annibilation that quite undoes her Thus Gods and Nature you do wish to spoil Because a little pain endures a while Devils had rather Devils be than nought at all But you like Angels that did never fall Thus they discoursed as they went but he strove to conceal himself from her knowledg until such time as he thought he might make his peace with her for fear she should run away again out of hate and dislike to him But the Army when they miss'd their young General grew so sad that they took no pleasure in their Victory for they were all as one dumb man no noise was heard all Eyes were full of Tears But when they saw the Litter as supposing she was dead they raised a Cry that rent the Air and made the thicker Clouds to move Which when she heard and saw them running to her she shook her hand to shew them she did live Then sent they shouts of Joy to Heaven high And ev'ry Countenance sad look'd merrily But when they came so near as to view her Face and saw her pale and weak they grew into such a rage that they would have killed the Prince hearing he wounded her but she entreated for his life and begg'd him for her Prisoner No sooner ask'd but granted and she gave the charge of him to her Father Being brought into her Tent the Army watch'd by turns whilst she was under the Chirurgeons hands for cure Nor would they take any of the Spoils but what she did divide unto them nor any Direction but what she gave Nor would they stir until her Health permitted her to travel but being indifferently well she gave order to march on But the King had raised another Army in the time of her sickness and sent it out to meet them She although weak went about to order and encourage her Soldiers who loved her better than their life which Affections made them fight so well that they overcame their Enemies and before the King could raise another Army they got unto the City Where as soon as she came near she gave order to her Soldiers to entrench about it and to cast at every corner of the City a Mount of Earth on which she placed her Cannon to batter down the Walls then she did build Forts about to place her Men to shoot and cast Granadoes in and by their several assaults they battered the City and killed many of their Men by sundry and sudden assaults at last she resolved to storm it But the King perceiving his weakness and that he could not hold out long sent to the young General desiring a Treaty and withall a Cessation of Arms. In the mean time the Queen being weary of her Imprisonment longing for the coming of her Beloved in a melancholy Humour thus spake O what a Hell is it to love and not be loved again Nay not only to love but to love a Slave and he regards me not Do I say Slave No he is none that hath no Slavish Passion Then he is free And I am only bound to Slavery First to my Passions then to his Tyranny What shall I do you Gods above You punish me and yet you make me love Do you delight still in a tortur'd Mind Make you no sympathy in Human Kind Must all your Works consist in contradiction Or do we all enjoy nothing but Fiction The Mind is nothing but meer Apprehension 'T is not a Thing unless it hath Dimension But O you Powerful Gods by your Decree You can of Nothing Something make to be Then make me Something grant me my Delight Give me my Lover or destroy me quite Thus leaving her in a Melancholy Posture and Humour we return to the Armies The Cessation being near expired the young General called a Council and thus spake to them Right Noble and Valiant Heroes THE King hath sent to treat of Peace but in my opinion there can be no honourable Agreement next to the setting the Queen

had thus spoke to them they began the Onset Long was the Dispute but at last by the Prince's Courage which animated the rest by his Example and by his wise Conduct and diligent Care in rectifying the disordered Ranks and supplying their broken Files by fresh Men he got the day and put the Enemy to a rout killing many and taking store of Prisoners The Prince when he saw that Fortune was his Friend at that time though at other times she had frown'd yet now he thought to make his advantage whilst she was in a good Humour wherefore he called to the Soldiers to follow their pursuit but they were so busie in the dividing of the Spoils as they were deaf to all Commands or Entreaties giving their Enemies leave to rally their scattered Forces and so to march away and by that means they got so far before them as they had time to get up their Spirits and strengthen their Towns by Fortification to Man their Forts and to entrench themselves whereas if they had followed their Victory they might have taken a great part of the Countrey for all Towns Forts and the like seldom stand out but yeeld to a Victorious Army yet it must be whilst the terror and fright of their Losses hath wholly possest their Minds leaving no place for Hope But when the Prince thought they had lost their opportunity through the Covetousness of the Soldiers he sent a Messenger to the King of the Victory and with the Reasons why he could not follow the same but if his Majesty would give permission he would march on and try out his Fortune In the mean time the Queen hearing of the loss of her Army was much perplexed Then musing with her self what way she were best to take she straight went to Travelia who was indifferently well recovered to him she related the sad News then asked his Counsel what she were best to do He told her His Opinion was for her to call a Council of the Gravest and Noblest of her Subjects and those whose Age had brought Experience for if Worldly Wisdom dwells any where it is in Aged Brains which have been ploughed by various Accidents and sowed with the Seed of Observation which Time hath ripened to a perfection these are most likely said he to produce a plentiful and good Crop of Advice but young Brains said he want both Manuring and Maturity which makes their Counsels green and unwholsome Whereupon they called a Council where after they had disputed long at last they all agree in one consent That the best was For her to go her self in Person to animate her Soldiers and to give a new Life to their dejected Spirits Whereat she was much troubled by reason Travelia was not so well as to travel with her and to leave him seemed worse to her than Death But after her Council was broken up she returned to him and told him what her Council had decreed And this said she angerly to him was by your Advice For had I not called a Council but had sent a General of my own choice it would not have been put to a Vote for me to have gone in Person But had you had that love for me as I have for you I should have had better Advice and with that wept Heaven knows said she the greatest Blow Fortune can give me is to go and leave you behind me He seeing her weep thus spake BEAUTY of your Sex and Nature's rarest Piece Why should you cast your Love so low upon a Slave so poor as I when Kings hazzard their Kingdoms for your sake And if your People knew or did suspect your Love to me they would rebel and turn unto your Enemy and besides Conquerors are feared and followed whereas Losing is a way to be despised and trod into the Earth with scorn Alas I am a Creature mean and poor not worthy such a Queen as you and 't were not wise to hazzard all for me Wherefore go on great Queen and may you shine as glorious in your Victories as the brightest Starrs in Heaven May Pallas be your Guide and Mars the God of Warr fight your Battels out May Cupid give you ease and Venus give delight May Hymen give such Nuptials as best befits your Dignity May Fortune always smile and Peace dwell in your Kingdom And in each Heart such Loyal Love may grow No Disobedience may this Kingdom know Age Crown your Life and Honour close your Days Fame's Trumpet loud may blow about your Praise She weeping said No Sound will pierce my Ear or please my Mind Like to those Words you utter when they 're kind But at last by his Perswasions more than by her Councellor's Advice she consented to go upon that condion he would take upon him the Government of her Kingdom until such time as she returned again and said she if I dye be you Heir to my Crown and Ruler of my People And may the Gods keep you from all Opposers The People knowing her Commands and Pleasure by her Proclamation fell a murmuring not only in that she left a Stranger but a poor Slave who was taken Prisoner and sold and a Person who was of no higher Birth than a Ship-Master's Son to govern the Kingdom and rule the People Whereupon they began to design his death which was thought best to be put in execution when she was gone But he behaved himself with such an affable demeanour accompanied with such smooth civil and pleasing words expressing also the sweetness of his Nature by his Actions of Clemency distributing Justice with such even Weights ordering every thing with that Prudence governing with that Wisdom that it begot such Love in every Heart that their Mouths ran over with Praises ringing out the Sound with the Clappers of their Tongues into every Ear and by their Obedience shewed their Duty and Zeal to all his Commands or rather to his Perswasions so gently did he govern Thus whilst he ruled in Peace at home the Armies met abroad and being set ready to fight the Trumpets sounded to Charge and every one prepared to encounter his Enemy striving for the honour of Reputation which is got by the ruin of one Side So equally hath Nature distributed her Gifts that every one would have a just Proportion did not Fortune disorder and misplace her Works by its several Accidents But the terror of the former Blow was not quite extinguished in the Queen's Army nor the insulting Spirits of the other Army laid but rather a new Courage added to their old Victory which did help them now to win that day and with such victorious Fortune that they took the Queen a Prisoner and did destroy the whole Army The Prince thinking the Kingdom won in having the Queen's Person made him divide his Army into two parts the one half he sent to take possession of the Towns Castles and Forts the other part he led himself to conduct the Queen being much pleased that

she commanded every Captain of a Company should place himself in the midst of their second Ranks for if the chief Commander said she in a Company be kill'd the Spirits of the common Soldiers soon dye and their Nerves grow slack with fear and all their strength will fail unless it be to run away The Lieutenants she ordered them to place themselves in their last Ranks to keep the Soldiers from flying for said she shame will cause Obedience to submit to Authority wherefore his Eyes will be as a Fort and his Breast as a Bulwark to keep them in Then she gave order that every Squadorn should be but five Ranks deep and fifty on a breast which number said she is enough to knit into a proportionable Body more makes it unweildy and is like a man over-grown with Fat whose bulk makes him unactive either to assault or to defend himself and Rands of Ten deep said she are not only unuseful and troublesome but so many men are lost as to employment for the hindermost Ranks come seldom or never to the Charge In every Troop of Horse she placed some Foot both Pikes and Muskets to gall and hurt their Enemy's Horse when they came to encounter for if once the Horse fails the Man is down After that she commanded her Army to marchin such a slow pace as not to break or loosen their Ranks but commanded them to join so close as if there were no Vacuum in their Troops and so to move as one entire Body or Piece Lastly She commanded all the Cuirasiers should stand in the fore-front to bear the shock or break the Ranks And thus she set the Battalia in order form and figure as the ground and places would permit to their best advantage The Prince ordered his Battalia as he was used to do making it thick as believing it to be the stronger which is questionless the best way if it were only to stand still for a defence but not to assault for in Action the half of those thick Bodies serve only as Cyphers without a Figure but never help to multiply the Numeration of Blows But the Armies being both ready to joyn the young General thus spake to his Soldiers Noble Friends Brave Soldiers and Wise Councellors WHO knows but this our meeting may produce good and great Effects and bring Peace to your Countrey which is molested with Warrs and Ruin to your Enemies that have almost ruined you Comfort to your sad Friends we have left behind Liberty to your imprisoned Friends We fight for Fame hereafter for Honour and Profit now presently but if we let our Enemies become our Masters they will give us restless Fears unreasonable Taxes unconscionable Oaths whereby we shall lose the Peace of our Mind the Conversation of our Friends the Traffick with our Neighbours the Plenty of our Land the Form of our Customs the Order of our Ceremonies the Liberty of the Subjects the Royalty of your Government and the Company and Rule of our Gracious Vertuous and Beautiful Queen And shall they have Courage to spoil and we none to right our Wrongs Shall they live by our hard Labour And shall we live by their hard Laws All Noble Spirits hate Bondage and will rather dye than endure Slavery Wherefore my Friends be you constant to your just Resolutions circumspect in your ways patient in your Labours Heroick in your Actions for What Man can remember such Injuries and let their Courages be cold Wherefore for your own sakes your Countrey 's sake your Royal Queen's sake go on with valiant Hearts and active Strengths and may Apollo be your Friend shooting his Darts dazling your Enemies Eyes May Mars the God of Warr direct you in your fight May Fortune give you aid and Pallas give you victory After she had thus spoke the Trumpets sounded to Charge and the young General sent some flying Horse to give the onset and then seem to run away which the other Army seeing thought it was out of fear and followed them as in pursuit which disordered and broke all their Ranks but the Queen's Army marched in good order to meet them at which the Enemy viewing their unexpected posture was so daunted as they neither had Spirits to fight nor power to run away and so a great number being killed and taken Prisoners the Queen's Army became absolute Masters of the Field The Prince with much difficulty retreated back about a days march with some few but with the prime of his Horse where he heard of a fresh Army coming to assist them for the King fearing they were not strong enough being forced suddenly away caused new men to be raised to follow them The news of this Army rejoiced the Prince much being at that time very melancholy for the great loss he received and for the disgrace as he thought by reason he despised the Enemies to the King and to be overcome by those he scorned did wrack his Soul But taking up fresh hopes with his new-come Army returned back to the Queen's Army again who when they heard of a new Supply were much amazed and dejected by reason they were weary and tired with three Fights and disordered with gathering up and carrying away their Spoils But the young General perceiving them to hang down their Heads thus spake Noble Friends I Perceive such a sadness in your Faces as if fear had taken possession of your hearts which if it hath except Courage beats it out it will betray your Lives unto your Enemies and to be taken by a timorous thought before your Strength hath grapled with your Foes were base and if Right and Truth be on your side as sure it is and Reason rules your Judgment as I hope it doth you have no cause to doubt but if you fear the Conduct of my Youth as wanting Experience to judg or direct the best then here are Aged men who with Ulysses and Nestor may compare their Counsel is your aid Let no vain suspition therefore quench your hopes but Courage set your Spirits on fire and with their heat consume your Enemies to Ashes With that they all aloud did say Go on we will dye or conquer In the mean while the Prince was encouraging his new-come Army who was struck with the news of the last Battel hearing nothing of it until they met the Prince the sudden Report like Thunder shook their Spirits which to appease the Prince thus spake Noble Friends You that have Humility to obey Love to unite Charity to redress have Hopes to obtain for Hope is the Ground on which Courage is built Let not the Enemy of Mistrust vanquish your Faith but perform your Loyalty through your Industry for obedient Thoughts are not sufficient without obedient Actions Wherefore take Courage to fight Let not your Enemies kill your Spirits Weep not nor condole at our Losses but let us regain our Honours either by Victory or Death And they that are sloathful or cowardly in this Army may

at liberty but the resigning of his Crown and so his Kingdom to her First For raising Hostility and disturbing the sweet Peace and happy Condition of a Kingdom that never molested them Then for the dishonour in taking the Queen Prisoner the ruin and spoil of your Countrey the death of your Friends and the loss of your gallant Men killed in this Dissention making many Widows and Fatherless Children Besides Who can rely upon the Faith of an unjust Prince who made Warr upon his Neighbours without a just offence but only through an ambitious attempt upon your Queen and Kingdom Have we not Victory And yet shall we return with Loss Shall we despise the Gift of the Gods in making no use of what they give us And shall the Trumpet of loud Fame report the Queen was taken Prisoner and resigned upon a low Agreement No let Fame divulge unto the World her Release came with the Ruin of his Kingdom After the General had spoken one of the Council who was like Nestor for Years and Experience thus spake OUR General hath spoke a Speech so full of Courage and Honour as shews him to be of so true an Heroick Spirit that he hath left no room for Policy to play a part But States cannot subsist with Valiant Hands alone unless they have a Politick Head which is the Guide to great Designs it burns more Cities than Granadoes do it undermines strong Towns pulls down great Works wins Forts sets Battels takes Prisoners makes Slaves and conquers Kings and Kingdoms and what we call Policy in a Publick State is called Discretion in a private Family and it is not as the Vulgar think it a Cheat or meer Deceit but a wise Prudence to prevent the worst of ills and to keep Peace or get Tranquillity 'T is true Valour is a daring Spirit but Policy is the trusty Friend and covers with skill all those Faults it cannot mend it guides the Bark in which Man's Life swims and keeps them from the shipwrack of the World pulls down the ambitious Sails when blown too full with Pride lest it should overturn the Ship of Safety to be drowned in Seas of Miseries But Policy will rather chuse the Oars of Patience and take the Tides of Time than venture where the Doubts are more than Hopes or Hazzards more than Gains Then let us try to make a prudent Peace not trusting to Fortune's Favour unless she were more constant For in the Warrs such unknown Chance may fall Instead of Victory we may be ruin'd all I speak not this to cross my General for I shall be as ready to obey all his Commands be they never so dangerous as I have freely delivered my Opinion After he had spoke the General rose up and said These Counsels are too solid to be contradicted by rash Youth Whereupon they all agreed to treat with the King giving his Ambassadors Audience The King's Ambassadors coming into their Assembly thus spake You great Victorious Amitenians MY Master should not need to seek for Peace before it sought for him had not the God of Love proved his Enemy perswading Mars to be his Foe for those that are cross'd in Love have seldom Victory for Mars doth take the part of Venus Cupid's Mother Thus our great King and Master is by Love undone But since 't is the Gods that work his Fate he humbly doth submit Wherefore he sends these Proffers unto you First He will build your broken Forts again and raise those Walls his Soldiers have pulled down Secondly He will repay your Charges and Expences in this Warr although his own is great and his Loss is more Thirdly He will restore his Prisoners if you will do the like to those you have taken but for the Queen she is no Prisoner For our Master is her Captive and her Thrall Both to command Him and his Kingdoms all After the Amitenians had consulted they told the King's Ambassadors That Words were not Acts wherefore they could conclude of nothing until the Queen was in her Army to make her atonement for her self and if she were no Prisoner they desired to wait on her out of the City if not they must use force Whereupon the Ambassadors went back to their King to declare their Answer But to return to the Captive Prince who was more fetter'd in his Mind than in his Body for the old Father treated him civilly and used him kindly but perceiving him to be very melancholy thought it might proceed from the Overthrow he received which he strove to moderate telling him Nothing was more subject to Chance than Warr and that the Valiantest and Wisest Men might fall by Fortune's hand for said he She on Wheels not on firm Ground doth stand She seeks not Worth and Merit to advance Her Scepter which she governs by is Chance Then said the Prince O Fortune most unkind I would she were as Powerless as Blind As he was speaking in comes the young General whom when he saw Love's Passion shook his Manly Strength and made his Visage pale But she being of an affable and sweet disposition wish'd all content of Mind to every person although she had little her self Noble Sir said she It was not for want of respect I have not visited you but my Engagements have so busily employed me that till the Cessation of Arms I have not had so much time as to examine your welfare But I know my Father hath not omitted any Service he could help you in neither do believe you being a Commander can be so ignorant but to know that Camps can afford but a rude Entertainment having therein no necessary accommodations and since my Wishes cannot make it better you will be pleased to accept of it as it is Worthy Sir answered the Prince I am only a Prisoner to your Favours but am free by your Noble Entertainments So after some discourse telling him of the Agreement which was like to be left him or rather carried him with her for his Soul went after her although his Person stay'd behind But to follow the Ambassadors who were got to the King and told him the Demands of the Amitenian Army was To have their Queen before they would treat any farther The King being very much troubled thereat for to keep her he durst not knowing his own weakness and their strength and to let her go he could not for his Passion of Love would not give him leave neither would he call a Council knowing they would be for the departure of the Queen for their own securities then did he wish for his Friend and Servant the Prince but at last being resolved went to the Queen his Mistress and taking the Crown from off his Head laid it at her Feet Madam said he Here I deliver you my Crown and with it my Kingdom and yeeld my self your Prisoner dispose of it and me as you please for it never shall be said I make Conditions with her I do adore for since

for Death is in my power though Life is not But the Prince who was their Commander hearing a noise came on the Deck who no sooner saw him but was struck with Compassion raised by a resemblance of his Mistress appearing in the Face of the Youth and going to him bid him dry his Eyes and cease his Sorrow for they both should live together so long as he could keep them Heaven bless you said he and may you never part from that you most do love But when Travelia's Tears were stopped and sight got a passage through her Eyes again and looking up to view that Man from whom his Obligations came no sooner saw his Face but Terror struck his Heart and trembling seized her Limbs as if she had seen some hideous and prodigious thing The Prince observing her in that Agony asking him as supposing her a Boy What made him shake and tremble so In quivering Words she answered As Fear before had shrunk his Sinews short so now Joy had extended them too far The Prince then stroaking his Head promised they should both be well used and so returned into his Cabin Thus travelling on the Sea as on a great Champain the Ship like a Horse went several paces according as the Waves did rise and fall But at last this Ship became like a Horse diseased with Spavins which broke out and sprung a leak which they stopt as well as they could for the time but doubting it could not long hold out grew very sad some weeping some praying some murmuring some raving according as their Fear and Hopes were But the Prince who was valiant by nature expected Death with as much patience as they with fear did apprehend it neither was he struck with terror but yeelded to the Fates and was willing to dye But in the midst of their Afflictions at last they espied an Island at which sight they all shouted for joy Thus in the life of Man many several accidents pass about and it chances many times that out of the midst of Grief and Sorrow rises up Objects of Comfort so was it here and setting up all their Sails made haste to it but before they could come close to it although they were not far from it the Leak broke out again and likewise their Fears for the Ship grew sick of a lingring Disease that it could swim no farther but perished by little and little which perceiving they hoist out their Boat where the Prince gave order That those which were most afraid should go first he himself was the last that went therein though the Boat did go and unload and return'd many times insomuch that not only the Passengers were saved but all their Goods which no sooner were out but the Ship sunk and dyed of that Incurable Dropsie But in these Dangers the Prince forgot not Travelia for why the Prince was more fond of him than Travelia was of himself for her fears of being known gave her no rest But being all safely arrived in the Island they began to consider what to do the Prince counselled them to chuse out some of the Company to build up Hutts to lay their Goods in and also to cut down some Trees there being great store of Wood chusing that which was most proper and fit to build a new Ship whilst the rest of the Company went to seek Food and to discover the place This being agreed upon they divided themselves and those that travelled up into the Island found it very small as being not above thirty miles long and twenty broad and unpeopled but great store of Fish and Fowl few Beasts but those that were were of a gentle Kind fine Meadows full of Grass and sweet Flowers refreshing and shady Woods wherein ran clear Springs and bubling Brooks Thus though it were little it was very pleasant the greatest Inconvenience they found there was want of Houses for they found the ground somewhat damp with Dews which being an Island it was subject to but the Air was ferene and clear the Climate a little more than temperately hot But the time that the Ship was a building the Prince had a little House or thing like an Arbour built in the midst of the Island to lodg in and the rest made Hutts for themselves and several Recreations they found to pass away the time Being in so solitary a place the Prince who was melancholy for the loss of his Mistress grew full of Thoughts and having her Picture in his Mind drawn to the life comparing it to Travelia's Face which he often looked upon began to reason with himself why that might not be she considering her private escape and the little acquaintance she had in that Countrey and seeming of a better breeding than a Ship-Master's Son could have it did almost confirm his hopes But discoursing one day with the old Man of several accidents telling their Misfortunes and good hap of both sides and being both of one Countrey the old Man thinking no harm discovered by his talking that Travelia was none of his Son begotten from his Loins but adopted through Compassion and Affection and then telling the Story how he came into his Ship unknown or without his leave by the circumstances of Time Place and Manner found that it was she whereat being transported with joy he could scarce conceal his Passion but dissembled his knowledg as well as he could for the present yet after that time sought an occasion to get her alone where he did usually go a Birding and did command Travelia to carry his Bags of Shot after him who loved the Service though she feared the Lord and when they were gone some distance from the rest of the Company and being in a shady Wood the Prince feigned himself weary and setting down to rest commanded him to do the like and at last discovered to him how he came to know her She finding her self discovered turned as pale as Death and in that passion of Fear prayed him to kill her or otherwise she should find a way to do it her self But the Prince told her He would satisfie himself first unless she would consent to live with him as his Wife in that Island wherein said he we may live free and secure without any Disturbance She musing with her self what to do believing he was not grown the Chaster with living amongst rude and barbarous People thought it best to dissemble and give a seeming-consent Whereat the Prince's Thoughts being more elevated than if he had been Master of the whole World they return'd to the rest of the Company the one with an over-joyed Mind the other sad and full of perplexed Thoughts But when she came to a place where she might be alone sitting down in a melancholy posture without uttering Words or shedding Tears for Grief and Amazement had congealed the one and stopt the other yet at last her smuthered sorrow broke out into Complaint You Gods said she Who will offer Sacrifice to your Deities since
