comfort vnto our citizens but that we shall all perish by extreme famine and now certes there resteth nothing but the fearefull image of gastly death before our eies When Apollonius heard these wordes he said vnto him Then giue thankes vnto God who in my flight hath brought me a land into your costes For I haue brought great store of prouision with me and I will presently giue vnto your citie an hundreth thousand bushels of wheate if you will onely conceale my comming hither At these wordes Stranguilio being strooken as it were into a sodaine amazednesse as it happeneth when a man is ouerioyed with some glad tidinges fell downe prostrate before prince Apollonius feete and saide My lord Apollonius if you coulde and also if it might please of your great goodnesse in such sort as you say to succour this afflicted and famished citie we wil not onely receiue you gladly and conceale your abode but also if néede so require willingly spend our liues in your quarrell Which promise of mine to the intent you may heare to be confirmed by the full consent of all the citizens might it please your Grace to enter into the citie and I most willingly will attend vpon you Apollonius agréed thereto and when they came into the citie he mounted vp into the place of iudgment to the intent he might the better be heard and gathering al the people togither thus hee spake vnto the whole multitude Ye citizens of Tharsus whom penurie of vittell pincheth at this present vnderstand ye that I Apollonius prince of Tirus am determined presently to relieue you In respect of which benefite I trust ye will be so thankfull as to conceale mine arriuing hither And know ye moreouer that not as being driuen away through the malice of king Antiochus but sayling along by the Seas I am happily fallen into your hauen Wherefore I meane to vtter vnto you an hundred thousand busshels of wheate paying no more than I bought it for in mine owne countrey that is to say eight péeces of brasse for euerie bushell When the citizens heard this they gaue a shout for ioy crying God saue my Lord Apollonius promising to liue and die in his quarrell and they gaue him wonderfull thankes and the whole citie was replenished with ioy and they went forthwith vnto the ships and bought the corne But Apollonius doubting lest by this déede he should séeme to put off the dignitie of a prince and put on the countenance of a merchant rather than a giuer when he had receiued the price of the wheate he restored it backe againe to the vse and commoditie of the same citie And when the citizens perceiued the great benefites which he had bestowed vpon their citie they erected in the marked place a monument in the memoriall of him his stature made of brasse standing in a charret holding corne in his right hand and spurning it with his left foot and on the baser foot of of the pillar whereon it stoode was ingrauen in great letters this superscription Apollonius prince of Tirus gaue a gift vnto the citie of Tharsus whereby hée deliuered it from a cruell death CHAP. IIII. How Apollonius departing from Tharsus by the perswasion of Stranguilio and Dionisiades his wife committed shipwracke and was relieued by Altistrates king of Pentapolis THus had not Apollonius aboden many daies in the citie of Tharsus but Stranguilio Dionisiades his wife earnestly exhorted him as séeming very carefull and tender of his welfare rather to addresse himselfe vnto Pentapolis or among the Tirenians as a place most fit for his securitie where he might lie and hide himselfe in greatest assurance tranquilitie Wherefore hereunto he resolued himselfe and with conuenient expedition prepared al things necessarie for the iourney And when the day of his departure was come he was brought with great honour by the citizens vnto his ships where with a courteous farewell on ech side giuen the marriners weighed anker hoysed sailes and away they goe committing themselues to the wind and water Thus sailed they forth along in their course thrée days and thrée nights with prosperous winde and weather vntill sodainly the whole face of heauen and sea began to change for the skie looked blacke and the Northerne wind arose and the tempest increased more and more insomuch that prince Apollonius and the Tyrians that were with him were much apalled and began to doubt of their liues But loe immediatly the winde blew fiercely from the South-west and the North came singing on the otherside the rain powred down ouer their heads and the sea yéelded forth waues as it had béene mountanes of water that the ships could no longer wrestle with the tempest and especially the admirall wherein the good prince himselfe fared but néeds must they yéeld vnto the present calamitie There might you haue heard the winds whistling the raine dashing the sea roaring the cables cracking y e tacklings breaking the shippe tearing the men miserable shouting out for their liues There might you haue séene the sea searching the shippe the bordes fléeting the goods swimming the treasure sincking the men shifting to saue themselues where partly through violence of the tempest and partly through darcknes of the night which then was come vpon them they were all drowned onely Apollonius excepted who by the grace of God and the helpe of a simple boord was driuen vpon the shoare of the Pentapolitanes And when he had recouered to land wearie as he was he stoode vpon the shoare and looked vpon the calme sea saying O most false and vntrustie sea I will choose rather to fall into the handes of the most cruell King Antiochus than venture to returne againe by thée into mine owne Countrey thou hast shewed thy spite vpon me and deuoured my trustie friendes and companions by meanes whereof I am nowe left alone and it is the prouidence of almightie God that I haue escaped thy gréedie iawes Where shall I now finde comfort or who will succour him in a strange place that is not knowen And whilest he spake these wordes hée sawe a man comming towardes him and he was a rough fisherman with an hoode vpon his head and a filthie leatherne pelt vpon his backe vnséemely clad and homely to beholde When hée drewe neare Apollonius the present necessitie constraining him thereto fell down prostrate at his féet and powring forth a floud of teares he said vnto him whosoeuer thou art take pitie vpon a poore sea-wracked man cast vp nowe naked and in simple state yet borne of no base degrée but sprung foorth of noble parentage And that thou maiest in helping me knowe whome thou succourest I am that Apollonius prince of Tyrus whome most part of the worlde knoweth and I beséech thée to preserue my life by shewing mée thy friendly reliefe When the fisherman beheld the comlinesse and beautie of the yoong Gentleman hée was mooned with compassion towardes him and lifted him vp from the ground and lead

to be my sonne in law Tell me thy minde out of hand for I attend thine answere Then Apollonius much abashed at the kinges talke falling downe vpon his knees answered Most gratious soueraigne your wordes sound so strangely in mine eares that I scarsly know how to giue answer your goodnesse hath been so great towardes me that I can wish for no more But since it is your Graces pleasure that I should not be indebted to many but owe all thing vnto you as life and wife honour and goods and all you shall not find me vnthankful howsoeuer God or fickle fortune deale with me to remaine both loyall and constant to you and your daughter whom aboue all creatures both for birth and beauty and good qualities I loue and honour most intirely Altistrates reioiced much to heare so wise and conformable an answere and embracing Apollonius called him by the name of deare beloued sonne The next day morning the king addressed his messengers purseuants to assemble the nobliest of his subiects frends out of the confederat cities and countries and to shew them that he had certaine affaires to communicat vnto them and when they were come altogither vnto Pentapolis after due gréeting and accustomable intertainment shewed as in the maner of great estates he said thus vnto them My louing friends and faithfull subiects my meaning was to let you vnderstand that my daughter is desirous to marrie with her schoolemaster Apollonius and I am wel pleased therwith Wherfore I beséech you all to reioyce thereat and be glad for my daughter shalbe matched to a wise man And know you moreouer that I appoint this day sir wéekes for the solemnization day of the marriage at what time I desire you all to be here present that like friends we may reioyce and make merry togither and when he had all said he dismissed the assembly Now as the time wore away so the wedding day drue néere and there was great preparation made aswell for the feast as for iewels and rich clothes to furnish the bridegrome and bride withall as althing els that appertaine to the beautifiyng of so great a wedding And when the day was come the king apparrelled in his princely robes with a diadem of great price vpon his head accompanied his daughter Lucina and Apollonius vnto the Church whom thousands of lordes and ladies followed after all cloathed in rich attire and marshalled in comely order The bride woare on a gowne of cloth of gold cut drawen out with cloth of siluer and a kirtle of crimsin veluet imbrodered with pure golde and thickly beset with orientall pearles Her haire hung downe in tresses fairely broided with a lace of gold and a Coronet vpon her head set with pretious stones of inestimable value Her necke was bare whereby her naked skinne appeared whiter than the driuen snowe curiously bedecked with chaines of golde and euery other lincke enameled with blacke amell Great baudrickes of perfect goldsmithes worke vppon eche arme to fasten the sléeues of her garment from sliding vp at the wreast Lastly a massie collar of fine golde made esse wise vppon her shoulders hanging down behinde and before with a Diamond reaching downe vnto her middle estéemed in value at thréescore thousand pound which the king her father had sent vnto her for a present that morning while she was apparrelling The bridegrome wore on a dublet and hosen of costly cloth of siluer garded with Goldsmithes worke of the same colour and a gowne of purple Satten embroidred with golde and beset with rich stones His cap was of fine blacke Ueluet all ouer bespangled with Rubies set in gold and fastned on by loopes the band of massie golde beset with courses of stones in order first a Rubie then a Turkeis then a Diamond and so beginning againe with a Rubie This was their raiment and thus went they forth togither hand in hand after whom as is already declared the lordes and ladies followed by thrée and thrée in a ranke When the solemnities were done at the Church and the wordes spoken and the Princes ioyned in marriage they returned home and went to dinner What shall I nowe speake of the noble cheare and Princely prouision for this feast And after dinner of the exquisite Musicke fine dauncing heauenly singing sweete deuising and pleasant communication among the estates I may not discourse at large of the liberall challenges made and proclaimed at the tilt barriers running at the ring ioco di can managing fierce horses running a foote and daunsing in armour And at night of the gorgeous plaies shewes disguised spéeches masks and mummeries with continuall harmony of all kindes of musicke and banquetting in all delicacie All these thinges I leaue to the consideration of them which haue seene the like in the Courts and at the weddinges of Princes where they haue seene more than my simple pen is able to describe or may be comprehended within the recital of so short an historie When night was come and reuels were ended the bride was brought to bed and Apollonius tarried not long from her where hee accomplished the duties of marriage and faire Lucina conceiued childe the same night The next daie euery man arose to feasting and iollitie for the wedding triumphes continued an whole moneth This while Lucinas bellie began to grow and as it fortuned that the lord Apollonius and his ladie on a day walked along the sea side for their disporte hée sawe a faire shippe fléeting vnder saile which hée knew well to be of his countrey and he hallowed vnto the maister whose name was Calamitus and asked of him of whence his ship was The maister answered of Tyrus Thou hast named my coūtry said Apollonius Art thou then of Tyrus said the maister yea answered Apollonius Then said the maister knowest thou one Apollonius prince of that countrey If thou doe or shalt heare of him heereafter bid him now be glad and reioyce for king Antiochus and his daughter are strooken dead with lightning from heauen And the Citie of Antiochia with all the riches and the whole kingdome are reserued for Apollonius With these words the ship being vnder saile departed Apollonius being filled with gladnes immediatly began to breake with his ladie to giue him leaue to go and receiue his kingdom But when faire Lucina heard him beginne to mooue words of departing she burst out into teares saying My Lorde if you were nowe in some farre countrie and heard say that I were néere my time to be deliuered you ought to make haste home vnto me But since you be nowe with me and know in what case I am me thinks you should not now desire to depart from me Howbeit if your pleasure be so and tarriance bréede danger and kingdomes want not heirs long as I would not perswade you to tarry so doe I request you to take me with you This discréete answere pleased Apollonius well wherefore he kissed his lady and they agréed it

which I beleeuing to be true put on mourning attire and desired nothing so much as to die and while I was in that extremitie of sorrowe and determined to haue sayled vnto Tyrus while I was on my way vpon the sea the winde turned and there arose a tempest and draue me vnto the citie Machilenta where my daughter was restored vnto me Then went I with my sonne in law and my daugter once againe to haue sailed vnto Tyrus by Tharsus and as I was now in the iourney I was admonished in my sleepe by an Angell to turne my course vnto Ephesus and there in the temple to declare aloud al my aduentures that had befallen me since my youth vnto this present day which hath hitherto guided me in all my troubles will nowe send an happy end vnto all mine afflictions CHAP. XX. How Apollonius came to the knowledge of his wife the ladie Lucina and how they reioyced at the meeting of ech other THe ladie Lucina was not so busie in executing her office in the Church but that she gaue also attentiue eare vnto her lord Apollonius talke whom at the first she knew not But when shee heard the long discourse whereby she knewe by all signes that hee was her husband and shee was his wife her heart burned within her and she could scarce temper her affections vntill hee had done talking Yet measuring her loue with modestie as nowe of long time hauing learned the true trade of pacience shee gaue him libertie to make an end which done shee ran hastily vnto him and embraced him hard in her armes and woulde haue kissed him Which thing when Apollonius sawe hee was mooued with disdaine and thrust her from him as misliking such lightnesse in her whose modestie and good grace hee had so lately before commended in his heart and nothing at all suspecting that she had béen his wife Then shee pouring foorth teares aboundantly O my lord Apollonius said she the one halfe of my life why deale you thus vngently with me I am your wife daughter vnto Altistrates king of Pentapolis and my name is Lucina And you are Apollonius prince of Tyrus my lord and deare husband and you are my schoolemaister which taught mée musicke and moreouer you are the Sea-wrecked man whom I especially loued aboue many not for concupiscence sake but for desire of wisedome When Apollonius heard those words he was sodainly astonied and as the strangenes of the chance appalled him much so the great ioy reuiued his spirites againe and he cast his eies earnestly vppon her and immediatly called her to remembrance and knewe perfitly that it was shée indéede and hée went vnto her and fell vppon her necke and for excéeding ioy brast out into teares and then lifting vp his handes and eyes to heauen hee saide Blessed be the moste mightie God of heauen which sitteth aboue and beholdeth the state of men on earth and dealeth with them according to his great mercie who nowe also of his vnspeakeable goodnesse hath restored vnto mée my wife and my daughter Then did hee most louingly embrace and kisse his ladie whom he supposed long before to be dead and shée likewise requited him with the like fruites of good will and courtesie whom she surely thought she should neuer haue séene againe And when they had continued a good space in intertaining the one another O my moste deare lord Apollonius saide the lady Lucina where is my childe whereof I was deliuered Apollonius aunswered my best beloued ladie it was a daughter and she was named Tharsia and this is she and therewithal he shewed her Tharsia Then kissed and embraced she her daughter and likewise her sonne in law Athanagoras and they greatly reioyced one in another And when report héereof was spread abroad there was great ioy throughout all the Citie of Ephesus and the report was blowen about in euerie place how prince Apollonius had found out his ladie and wife among the Nunnes in the Temple Then Lucina discoursed vnto her lord and husband Apollonius of all the strange accidents that happened vnto her after his casting her forth into the Sea Namely howe her chest was cast on land at the coast of Ephesus and taken vp by a Phisition and how she was reuiued and by him adopted and for preseruation of her honestie placed among the Nunnes in the Temple of Diana where hee then found her accordingly as it appeareth before in the historie wherefore they blessed the name of God and yéelded most heartie thankes vnto him that hée had preserued them thitherto and graunted them so ioyfull a meeting CHAP. XXI How Apollonius departed from Ephesus and sailed himselfe his wife his sonne and daughter vnto Antiochia and then to Tyrus and from thence to Tharsus where he reuenged himselfe vpon Stranguilio and Dionisiades APollonius and Lucina his wife and the residue of their traine hauing rested themselues and made merrie sufficient time at Ephesus when the winde serued tooke leaue of their friendes and went aboord of their ships and lanched from the shore and departed vnto Antiochia where according as Calamitus the maister of the ship of Tyrus had tolde him before the kingdome was reserued for him since the death of Antiochus But when the citizens heard that he was arriued they were all exceeding glad and put on their brauest apparell and garlandes of bayes vpon their heads and went forth in procession to méet him and brought him in triumph into the Citie and crowned him king with all ioy and gladnesse And when all the solemnities of the coronation the feastes triumphes largesses and pardons were finished hée abode with them certaine daies to dispose some matters in order that required redresse and to establish certaine lawes for the due administration of iustice Which being all accomplished according to his desire he tooke his leaue of the Citizens and with his wife sonne and daughter departed to the sea and sayled vnto Tyrus his owne natiue country where he was ioyfully receiued of his subiects and found his kingdome gouerned in good order There placed he for his lieuetenant his sonne in lawe Athanagoras which had married his daughter Tharsia to rule the countrey in his absence and when he had aboden a conuenient time amongst them to make merrie and to prouide necessaries for his farther affaires he leuied in shorter space a mightie armie of the best approoued souldiours with sufficient store of money and munition and taking with him moreouer his lady and his daughter Tharsia tooke shipping in the hauen and had so prosperous winde that in few dayes they landed in the coast of Tharsus And when they were come all ashoare they marched forward in battell aray and came into the Citie to the great terrour of al the inhabitantes When hee was come into the market place he commaunded that Stranguilio and Dionisiades should be brought before him which being done he thus spake vnto the people Ye Citizens of Tharsus I am come hither in armes
