prodigally streamed out at his deep wounds to the all receiving earth Then Flaminius contemning advantages over an almost vanquished Antagonist lighted also and now these Champions entertained one another with fresh courage till Flaminius let fall such a fortunate blow upon the unfortunate strange Knight as parted his ill-tempered shield and despising the weake and inconsiderable oppugnation of his already broken armour it made a great breach into his heart-side as if it would cut a passage for his unlawfull love to issue out at and sent his whole body to strike the earth falling since he could offend his Antagonist no better standing Flaminius after he perceived his pale enemie had acted his lives Epilogue accompanied the Lady to her Castle which stood in the same Forrest and in the journey he desired her to beguile the times hast and abbreviate the waies length with the relation of her precedent fortunes To this request of his the Lady shaped this Reply Royall Sir your commandment doth not only give me will but power to obey you such influence hath your excellencie I will lay the foundation of this subsequent sermocination with any one name which is Iulia eldest daughter to signior le Aroine and his wife Isabella who both during the time of my minoritie having performed the message for which they were sent into the world returned againe to their Maker First my indulgent Father being too old to live his decayed nature was conquered by triumphant death and uselesse Physicke did yeeld to his manifold diseases then my widdowed Genetrix striving to survive without him and liking not expir'd also After this I with my Orphan Sister Andronica retir'd to our Castle towards which we now equitate where we reape as much delectation in the rurall solentary groves and hewts of our owne as the rest of the French Ladies doe in the populous streets of stately Paris she that hath no looking-glasse to dresse her head by will use a boule of water she that wanteth a sleeke-stone to repumicate her linnen will take a pibble The Countrey-girle girdeth her selfe as strait in the waste with a course caddis as the Madame of the Court with a silke riband and we were as well content in our Rustick immorigerous roomes as others in the magnificent structures of our Royall Soveraigne But to proceed there arrived at my Castle Phylispis a valiant and heroicall Knight one out of the number of those whom renowned Fame will ever celebrate his errand was to prostrate his love-sicke-heart at my feet in the highest degree of lowest duty and the purity of the verity is he had taken a full possession of the Fort before he did aske for the keyes the match was concluded and agreed on before the capitulations were treated on my ravished eyes did no sooner behold him then my amorous heart did fancie him for he resembled Abdalmuralis the grandfather of Mahumet who was so amiable that women were enamoured of him yet my modest tongue did a long time hold him in wavering suspence neither suffering his feare to fall into despaire not his hope to hasten to assurance though once to prove the reality of his unalterable affection I charged him with whole vollyes of flatte denialls though any man that had beene trained up in Cupids discipline might easily perceive I shot nothing but powder to try his animosity not bullets to batter downe his breast-workes of hope already reared To these hee framed this satisfactory reply Madame the poore Fisherman that was warned hee should not fish would notwithstanding at his door make nets And the old Vintner of Venice that was prohibited from selling Wine did stil hang out an inviting Ivie-bush and so will I die in faith to you if I may not live in favour of you My malevolent and inauspicious starres may impeach my injoyment of you but if they should implore the assistance of Erynnis and call into their ayd the three Acheronticall Haggs Alecto Megera and Tysophone they should never force me from your love which is radicated so profoundly in my heart that hee which plucks it out pulls up at once that and my soule together Your gifts inspir'd by bounteous nature and your vertues acquir'd by liberall education have stampt for you such an indelible impression of love affection in my estimation as no distance of place length of time or traverse of chance shall be able to race out or impaire till death and sad despaire make a sponge of my bleeding heart to wipe it out For all this I still made his condition like a taper almost burnt out sometimes all obscured in blacke darke dispaire and now and then a flash or two an Ignis fatuus of comfort but of so short continuance 't was as soon extinguished as perceived till at length my kinder heart being willing to yeeld I was content not to perswade it to hold out any longer against the sweet blowes of love but I promised him marriage which is shortly to be consummated Soone after him came this knight who is by your valour Ad Charontem sine naulo missus and he also pretended a desire to match my matchlesse beauty with matchlesse affection him I denyed as fervently as I did the other faintly And now this Tripolis for so he was nominated whom you have vanquished did attempt to atchive that Tarquin-like by force of armes which he could not effect by perswasion and argument this made him devise all meanes and waite for all occasions to surprise me It fortuned though late yet at last there was a match concluded on between Arcates sonne and heire to the ancient Duke of Orleans and Claritia my Mothers sisters daughter to solemnization of these nuptialls I with my damsels tooke our way and now earths black babling daughter spred the pinions of swift wings advanced her shtill trumpet and fill'd the inquiring eares of Tripolis with the relation of our journey of which being certified he diligently awaited for my returne and had assuredly made me his captive had not you been my rescuer to whom I am indebted for my liberty the joy of life which I hold now the second time of you Thus sir have you bound me to you in an energeticall chaine of gratitude To attempt a requitall would extreamely extenuate your transcendent courtesie and derogate from the worth of your high favour but for the other office of gratitude retention if you had a window into my memory you might espie there safely stored up and conservated to preserve it from mouldring away in oblivion By this time the setting Sunne with loose rayes was posting to his Westerne home waiting onely to light Flaminius and Julia to the Castle which was a place as strongly fortified as rarely edified it was erected of speckled free stone adorned with marble shining pillars and statues of the pred●cessors of Signior le Artine it was invironed with large walks both greene and gravelly with spreading trees on either side bowred on the
