moderacion in his pleasures the tyran and morderor moued to compassion touching the cause of thin nocent and the vnthrift reclaymed to an honest staie of lif whiche makes me of opynion that this passion giuen vs by nature albeit it be an infection of it selfe yet it serues also as a contrepoison to driue out another venym according to the propertie of the Scorpion which of her selfe and in herself carieth the sting of mortal hurte and oyntmēt of spedie remedie thoccasiō of presēt death and meane to preserue life not meaning for all this to perswade that it is of necessitie we make our selues subiect altogether to this humor of good and euill disposiciō nor allow them that willingly incurr the perill of such fre ymprisonment but placinge it for this tyme amongest thinges of indifferent tolleracion because he neither seamed blind nor void of discreciō on the behalf of those whose erāples I meane to prefarr in this historie I maye boldlie aduoche that which we call affection to be a passion resembling in som respect the condicion of true amytie and yet not muche vnlike for the moste parte the generall euill whiche the Grecians ●al Philautia and we tearme by the title of loue or vaine flatterie of our selues chiefly when we see any so frently to his desiers that to satisfye the inordinat thruste or glot of his gredie appetit he forgettes hothe honor and honestie with the respect and duetie of his conscience besides what ymages of vertue curtesie or bowntiful dispocision soeuer our louers do ymagyn in theim whom they serue dymming the eyes of the worlde wyth a miste of dissembled substance as thoughe the cause of their liberall offer of seruice were deriued of an intent of honest frendshippe yet their trauailes that way concludes we se with other end for that they hunt only the chase of pleasure procedinge of the viewe of an exterior bewtie wherin their meaninge is sufficiently manifeste in the sugred oracions discourses of eloquent stile which those amarus orators seme to prefer when their mindes occupied whollie in the contemplacion of their mistresses do commit the praise of the perfection in their Ladies to the filed fordge of their fine tongue in which what other thing do they more chiefly commend then a deuyn misterie or conninge worke of nature painted with a dy of white or redd in her face A delicate tongue to dilate of matters of fancie an entysinge countenance with a grace and behauiour equal with the maiestie of a princes al which as they argewe the vanitie of him that reapose delite in such fondnes differinge altogether from the true ornamentes of the soule or pattorne wherby the perfectiō of vertue is discerned by thunfayned workes and absolute accion So dismissing this fond philosophie not cōtending greatly whether loue be a natural corrupcion or a thing perticipating with vertue we may be bold to aduouche his power to preauile in things which seame of ympossibilitie to thother passions that be common vnto vs for what thinge can be of greater force in a man then that which constrainynge an alteracion of custome and breach of that which by contynuance hath taken rote within vs doth make as it were A new body and the mynd a meare straunger to her former cogitacions which I neither inferr without cause nor menteyne this argument without great reasō for that as of al the vices which spot the lif of mā ther is none except y e excecrable syn of whoredom which makes vs soner forget god good order then the detestable exercise of vnlawful game neither are we so hardly reclaymed frō any thing as that cutthrote delite for that it is almost as possible to conuert the crueltie of a she wolffe or lyones into a present mekenes as to mortefie the desier of plaie in him which hath bene norrished and nozelled therin frō the beginning of his yeres Euen so notwithstanding the force of loue wrought such a misterie in an vnthrist of Naples that of the mo ste prodigall and ryotous spendor that hath bene noted in any age hee made a most staide and sparing gentlemā that Italy hath brought furth of many yeres since or afore his time Albeit euen vpon the point and beginning of his new fondacion

treasure to assiste his prodigal and wanton dispocision forgat not ymediatly to enter into the trade of a licencius life Wherein he founde no staye nor ympedyment to his will for that the necligence of his father had lefte hym withoute the awe or authoritie of any And albeit in the life of his father he was a continuall hawnter of the Berlea or common house of vnthriftie exercises where for wante of sufficient demers to furnishe his desier with skill in casting the three deceitfull companions of blacke and white vppon a square table he was forced often tymes to forbeare to playe and learne

harnesse his horse begin his course ouer our HEMISPHERE whē he rise and wente to the officer of the fyske of whome he demaunded to know what he was that discharged the debte of his late forfeyture He whom you can skarcely ymagin saith y e receauour hath exceded all your frends infirme faithfull zeale towards you to whom I haue deliuered the releace of your imprisonment but not y e acquitaūce of y

SALIMBINO saith he hath preferred cause of perpetual shame to al your frendes allies and opened you the waye not onelye to be equall but excede hym in semblable merit wherewith he departed with an infynity of conceiptes and constructions of the courtesie of his enemye and beynge at his house in a secret gallerye voyde from all companye or occasion of disturbance began to discourse diuerslye of

whole house at last startyng vp as it were out of a dead sleape or newly delyuered from the misterye of som sodaine qualme began to remember some glées of frendshy which he had heretofore noted in SALIMBINO on the behalfe of his syster which appeared chiefly in the often palewalkes purmenades he made by the gate of hys Pallais where yf by chaūce his eyes encoūtred with the viewe of ANGELIQVA he forgot not to preferre a reuerence and salutacion rather of an affectioned hart then a mynde charged with grudge or any kinde of enymitie wheruppon he resolued immediatly that the onelye beautye of his syster did pleade for his lyfe and purchase his deliuerye concludyng withall in his mind that as y e noble hart is soonest enclined to loue so when true affection hath once made a breache into the intralles of the valyant and princely minde it is impossible but she shoulde expose maruelous effectes and fruites of honest vertue like as also the ymp deriued of noble kinde and discended of the progenie of renowmed predecessours can not so maske or couer his norriture education but the vertue of the minde wil aduaunce herselfe in the countenance with shew of nobilitie in the face and preferre a facilitie in that whiche the voice of the worlde hath not onelye iudged impossible but also absolutely persuaded that he wold neuer be brought to do it eyther of frée consent or force of any awe or allurementes wherin for his parte because he would neyther be surmounted in honestie nor noted of anye spot of ingratitude determined to reuenge the good tourne he had receiued with suche prodigall recompense that he woulde seame no lesse liberall in retorninge thintereste of the benefit receyued then the other treble meritorious for thexample of soo rare a vertue wherefore hauinge nothinge worthy to present the frendshipp of SALIMBINO but himselfe and his sister determined to impart his present resolution with the fayre ANGELIQVA and after dispose themselues by mutuall assent to make a tender franke offer of that whych was in theym to be imployed on the behalfe of him and his as he lyste to ymagine the occasion wherin because he was now in the contrey without intent to retourne to the citie till the expiracion of some iiij or v dayes CHARLES fynding hys conscience heauelye charged with a debte on his behalfe thought to practise for hym in his absence aswell as he was myndefull of his late misfortune and therupon procured his syster into a gardein far from anye haunte or companye to troble them where he brake with her in this sort Amongest all the chaunges and conuersions of mortall affaires my deare syster there is none a more familiar precedent of the malice of fortune then he that is touched wyth diuersitie of euils nor anye so greate a paterne or example of her mobitie as they that fynde often chaunge of estate and yet for all that we ought not to suffer any aduersatie to deminishe the vertue and constancie of the mind neyther is it our part to geue so greuous a sentence of the state of mās mortalitie as eyther to denie mercie to such as be in misery or dispair of compassion whenne our selues be touched with affliction seing that as thinges mortall are full of chaunge and no man hath perpetuall felicitie So there is no man certaine of any thinge that he hath and God is bound to no time and fortune being slipperie of her selfe and not hable to be holden againste her will dothe neuer giue so greate felicitie but she enioyneth a double penaunce with trouble of treble annoy in respect of the benefyt And besides he that falleth frō the vttermost spray or height of the highest tree findeth lesse case and more daunger then suche as fele them selues taken from the lowe and shallow braunches supported vpon the firme earth Al which I prefer vnto you in this place aswel by a peculyar instigacion and remorce of mynde restoring a newe remembrance of the noble cōdicion of our Auncestors the auncient glory of our race and former renowne of the house of MONTANYNO as also to sturre vp in vs both a freshe supplie of sorowful teares on the behalfe of the late depopulation and vtter ruine of the same wherin for my parts as often as I beholde the riche seates and stately buildinges somtime the resident and ordinarie places of abode of our fathers and grandfathers when my desolate eyes glaunsinge vpon diuers corners of this cytie do fede vpon the viewe of sondrye skutchions and pendels of our armes bearinge a special marke or badge of thantiquitie of our famuly or that in the cathedral churches or chiefe temples of this cytie I peruse the inscription of so manye statelye tombes and perpetuall monumentes of marble shrowdyng the bodies of so many noble Knightes and notable Captaines discended of the lyne of MONTANYNO but chieflye as often as I put my foote within the entrey of this pallais the very reste and last remeinder of them whose authoritie onely hath earst gouerned the state of this commonwelth I fele my selfe so passioned with inward grefe and my hart within distillinge drops of blodd on the behalfe of so great a desaster that I wishe more often then I am harde to

a faire féeld bed redye dressed for the purpose where PARTHONOPE encounterynge his pleasante enemye wyth no lesse force and corage of his part then she had grounded experience to wythstande his malice in suche exploits entred the breach whych so many had made assaltable to his hande and beinge in possession of the commen place of PANDORA she founde hym so valyaunt in thaffaires of her desyer that in respect of the loftye corage of this newe champyon she accompted al the rest but children that earst had traded wyth her in the lyke traffique wherfore from thinstaunt she gaue him such assured place in her frendship that hangynge wholy vpon the shoulders of Parthenope she had no quiet in her mind but whē her eyes weare occupied in beholdyng his presence neither was he for his part voyd of lyke affection for beinge enchaunted with the charmes of this venemous Basile he Imployed his time to court her continually with his cōpany defying al felicities in the world but that which he semed to receiue by the felowship of PANDORA to whom alon he yelded all deuocion with great humilitye But this pleasure being of slipper continuance stale awaye with the shortnes of time their great amitie conuerted into indignacion and spitfull reuenge yea their mutuall societic sealed with all assuraunce of affection in their harts was by by so separated vtterlye dissolued that it was neuer hable to returne to his former vnitye for sone after the league of this new frendship behold the Page sumwhat refreshed by the absence of two or thrée monethes from his mistres repaires to his old exercise wherein he found no worse intertainemēt at the bonntiful hand of PANDORA then when he fyrst tylled the soyle of so fertil an I le neyther would she for all this lose the company of her new champyon Parthonope but vsing the order of leuel coyle she feasted them both indiferentlye of the dishes of one kynd of banquet and reserued to her selfe a chaunge of dyet at her pleasure But the Myllannoys notyng her disloyaltie entered into diuers disposition of collor somtime determined for the reuenge of the wrong which he seamed to receiue to kyl his Corriuall manifest by open publication thinordinate lubricitie of his Ladye whiche he had performed accordingly if natural curtesye with the regard of the honor which he held had not preuayled aboue his iust cause of indignatiō in that behalfe wherin albeit he dismissed the reuenge yet could he not escape thextreme passion of Ielosie whych so prickt him at the quicke takyng away his desier of reste in place of thappetit of slepe filled his head ful of hollowe dreames and vayne visiōs being in short time so transformed with fantasie that there rose question of his sodayne alteration amongest diuers his familyar frendes wherof one called EVCYO MARCIANO no lesse deare vnto him by aproued frendshippe then by the lawe of faythfull alyaunce and awncyente dissente who not ignoraunte in the maladye of his kynsman disposed him selfe to cure the disease and mortefye the cause with one medicyne and beinge whollye priuye to the practise of thinsacyable PALLIARD PANDORA by the reporte of oure late Romaine IOCVNDE costed this kynght one daye as he walked all alone in a gallarye of his lodginge reprehendinge his rashnes in this sorte Yf I had as manye meanes to cure your disease good cosin as I am thorowlye perswaded of the cause of your sicknes I woulde conuert the grefe I fele in your behalfe into spedye endeuor to releue your distresse Ah las what vnhappye trade of late haue you entred into that so remoues your senses out of their sege of reasó transforming the lyuelye colloure of youre face into a complexion of palenes youre minde continuallye occupied in solitarye thoughtes and wholye chaunged into a disposition contrarye to your aunciente order Do you thinke that I am eyther ignorante of your passion or of the league of loue concluded of late betwene thunchaste PANDORA and you Ah good cosin I lamente not so muche your presente desaster as I feare the fal of future Inconueniences like to thunder vppon you if god preuente not the ylls whiche threaten you by takinge you out of the handes of that tyranous shee wolfe whose poyson is of more perylous infection thenne that which dystilled from the breath of the fyrste PANDORA whom the two greke poets do affirme to brewe the first vessel of VENEMOVS lycor that euer came into y e world Ah las if reason would suffer you aswel to deserne the doinges and detestable life of this open hypocryt euen from the yeares of her infansye as your follye is content to leade you to lysten to her cursed lore you would not onlye seme satisfyed with the pleasure whiche hetherunto you haue receiued but also abhore the gredy apetyte of hers so geuen to hunte after contynuall chaunge neyther dismaye you at all if the pleasure whiche you count peculiar to your selfe bee imparted to an other far vnmete to mache with you in that or anye other condicyon for he whom you suspect to supplye the place of your absence was the fyrst that tilled the craggye grounde of your Insacyable mystres gathering the first frutes of her virginytye which notwithstanding might be dispersed with al by reasonable tolleracion if the nomber of them besides weare not infynet that haue alreadie battered the fort wher of you thinke your selfe lyuetenant and only possessor rehersinge here in order the bedroll of those that she had admitted for her vnlawful bedfelowes wherof PARTHONOPE bowwing a willing eare to the tale of his kynsman was dryuen into no small merueile at the pretye discours of the noble actes of this valiant souldyer of VENVS But MARTIANO although he sawe argumentes of remors in the hart of his Cosin yet he thought his disease was not vtterly cured vnlesse the cause were also taken awaye wherfore pursuing his intent w t vehement perswasions he requested him at last to leaue those traffyques of loue and speciallye in cases of adultery for saieth he they do not only dimynyshe the honour age renome and welthe of him that foloweth them but also they are hurtefull to the health of the soule forbydden speciallye by the mouthe of god and for your parte me thinke it were better to marye sum honest gentylwomanne of your own calabre susteyninge the honor of your house with passing the rest of your yeres in mutual socyetye with your law ful wife then in consuming the best time of your age to depend wholy vpon the pleasure of a shamelesse cōmen doxcye who when she hath sucked out the grene Iewse of your youth will not stycke I warrant you to procure the ende of your dayes with some miserable and vntimly death you are not ignorante besides I am sure of the authoryties of diuers histories noting the great nomber of strang incōueniences but specially perpetual Infamy which followeth as a dwe reward to their

theyr honor wythout respect to honest shame whiche as a companion moste familiar ought to gouerne and direct the doinges of all women But now let vs resorte to Pauia and visit the doinges of Blanche Maria whose renowne in short time became of no lesse brute in all the corners and costes of Ytalye then the Corynthyan lays thorow all partes of Asya being withal so prodigall of her libertie wyth open and vnseamelye meanes to make her selfe knowen to the worlde that in the veray viewe and first begynnynge of her trade appeared infallible arguments of future euils with a disordered sequeile of lyfe Albeit she seamed to reserue a certeyne maiestie and semblance of respect to her estate for that she woulde not marche but vnder enseignes of nobilitie refusing eyther to bée séene or spoken to of persones of meaner condicion which delicate and coye order she seamed to preferr rather to set a greater price of her marchandise accordyng to the Grecian curtisan whom the orator refused for that he wolde not buy his repentaunce at so highe a rate then to argue any diminution of her lascinius desyer for her eye had no sooner encountred any younge and lustie Gentleman that seamed sufficiently set furthe wyth furniture of nature and hable euerye waye to performe the exspectation of her appetitte but her countenaunce and other outwarde behauiour were readye to make declaracion of her inwarde desyer roauyng vpon hym wythout respect wyth suche glée and liberall regardes that he nede no interpretor to decipher her meaninge nor phisicion to disclose the misterie of her disease neyther was she anye thynge inferior to Madona Mussalina the Romaine Princesse sauyng that she haunted the banke and common places and this performed her exploites in her owne house the Romaine put no difference betwene Carters and men of greater callynge and this Demygreque prayed onely vppon nobilitye and ympes of tender yeres wherin albeit she seamed more delicate of taste then the other yet she exceded all the Bancrowtes of honor that euer were in this one point that she was alwayes rather wearie of trauell then at any time satisfyed with pleasure resemblynge a bottomles goolphe receyuinge all that is putt into it without castynge anye thinge vpp againe this was the chaste lyfe whiche this good Ladie ledd after she had got the bit betwene her téeth and the raine of libertie within her owne hande whereby you maye iudge whether the Myllanoyse or first husbande had raison to refraine her forwarde inclinacion in the firste flame of her youth seinge that as the gréene ozier or sallow of ij or iij. yeres groth is alwayes more plyable then the greate oke seasoned either by pollecie or confirmed in hardnes by the continuance of many yeres so it is necessarie we kepe an awful hande vppon suche youngelynges as appeare sooner ripe in appetit then in gouernement or discrecion to the ende that in plyeng the wax whilest the water is warme we maye alwayes frame them to the posteye of our mindes hauynge theim to supplie the necessitye of our affaires And as the connynge grafter forseing the destruction of his stocke by the tomuche forwardnes of the twigges and certeine lytle hraunches sukyng vp the moysture and sapp whiche should féede the reste of the trée doth cut theim awaye to th ende the principall bowes maye florishe and receiue their naturall norriture so it is not sufficient to minister correction to youth in their tender yeres yf we reserue not a continuation of awe to accompanie their encrease ripenes of their age to preuent the harmes wée sée ordinarilye happen by maturitye and to muche forwardnes in desyer to bee frée from controlment As she was in theis exercises at Pauya continuynge a traine of seruauntes accordynge to her trade and studie it chaunced that therle of Massyne called Ardizyno Valpergo came to the seruice of themprour by whyche occasion hée retired to PAVIA and lodged in the pallais of hys brother there he was younge lustie and geuen to all exercises of actiuitie of semelie stature wyth proporcion of lymmes accordinglie sauinge that he halted somewhat of one legg by reason of a hurte he receuied in a skirmishe of warr dymynishinge not

then in a windowe geuinge onlye a showe of her face and sometime woulde walke vp and downe in a gallarie or lowe hall presentyng the whole viewe of her bodie and to drawe the straunger to a more desyer to beholde her shee woulde sometime appeare in braue attire at the porche or gate of her pallais speciallye at suche tyme as the earle made hys walke that waye who being alreadie gaulled wyth the arrowes of loue on her behalfe pursewed his queste wyth such deuocion and diligence that he conquered at last a convenient tyme and meane to speake to her wherin albeit he preferred but a simple proffer of hys seruice w t other slight discourses wherwyth the courtyar or other gentleman of behauyor doth cōmonly fede the tyme whilist he is in the companye of ladyes and that the greate maiestie whych shee vsed woulde not suffer hym at the fyrste to geue righte iudgement of this masqued goddes yet he saw wel enough y t he neded not y e whole strēgth of themprours camp to force the place the which he iudged neither to be so strongly flanqued nor sewerly rampierd but the valiant souldiour being furnished to geue y e charge w t the speare in the rest might make an entrey w tout greate peril chieflie for that y e trenches throwē down and breach alreadie made y t place was sufficientlie assaltable for any meane soldiour al which he forgat not to cōuert to y e cōmoditie aduātage of his desier together w t y e consent of couentēt time and fortune who placed theim one daye all alone wythout any accesse of companie in her chamber where he forgat not to preferr his request wyth tearmes of humilitie according to the vaine order of suche ydle personnes as abuse the gift of time in pleading for grace in cases of loue with a franke offer of his bodie and lyuinge wyth commission to dispose of theim all as she thought good wherin good madame sayth he it is not the sommonce of any synister conceite or euill opynion whiche hath moued me to boarde you so farr but rather the vehement instigacion of loue forcing me to sch an affectioned zeale on your behalfe that I shoulde do indiffrent wronge to the stimacion of your honor and iniurye to the vowe of my loyall seruice sworne vnto you longe since if I feame yet to prolonge a conceylement of that whyche the present viewe of your bewtie hath set a broach and committed to open flame wherefore if my presente offer wyth respect of former merit lack force to
