onely attended on by a Negar or Black-more a Slaue fitting to prouide them necessaries and to carry their Apparell and Iewels after them whereof they had aboundant store The Blacke Knight her Sonne so called rather by fierce courage then this blacke complexion was all fiered with the ardent desire that hee had to sée his Graundsire Prester Iohn therefore without taking leaue of his Father being then absent in the company of his leawde Graunde mother with a noble spirit conducted his mother to the Sea side where a shippe was ready then to hoyst Sayle where of the Pilots they were most willingly receiued for Passengers And in this manner departed they the Land the Blacke Knight wore on his Helmet for a Scutchon a blacke Rauen féeding on dead mens flesh his Caparisons were all of blacke veluet imbrodered which most liuely figured foorth the blacke furie lodged in his Princely boosome Anglitora his Mother had the attyre of an Amazon made all of the best Arabian silke coloured like the changeable hue of the Raine-bow about her necke hung a Iewell of a wounderfull value which was a Diamond cut in the fashon of a Heart split asunder with a Turkish Semiter betokening a doubt that shee had of her Knights loyaltie The slauish Moore that attended them went all naked except a shaddow of gréene Taffata which couered his priuie parts vpon his foote a Morischo Shoe which is nothing but a Soale made of an Asses hide bucklde with small Leathers to his insteps vpon his Head hee wore a Wreath of Cypres guilded with pure gold and a Plate of Brasse about his necke close locked with the word bond-slaue ingrauen about it In this manner passed they the Seas and was by these strange habites wondred at in all Countries where they came In which trauels wee will leaue them for a time and speake of other things pertinent to our Story CHAPTER 2 Of Tom a Lincolnes strang manner of trauelling his wofull departure from England and of his sorrowfull lamentations for the vnkindnesse of his Lady WHen Tom a Lincolne the Red-rose Knight had spent some two months in the company of his Mother at Lincolne giuing her as much comfort as a Sonne might hee left her very penitent for her liues amisse and returned to the Court where hée left both his Wife and her Sonne the Blacke Knight thinking at his ariuall to finde so ioyfull a welcome and so courtious an intertainement that all the blacke cloudes of Discontent might bée blowne ouer by their happy méeting but as ill chaunce had allotted all things fell out contrary to his expectation for hee neither found Wife Childe Seruant nor any one to make him answere His Plate and Treasure was deminished his house-hold Furniture imbesselled and by Théeues violently carryed away hée had not so much as one Stéed left in his Stable for them the Quéene had seazed on for her vse and furthermore by her commandement a Decrée was made that whomsoeuer in all the Land shewed him any duty or gaue him but homely reuerence should loose their heads for shée had intitled him The base borne seed of Lust a Strumpets brat and the common shame of the dead King This was the malice of King Arthurs widow and assuredly Quéene Iuno neuer thirsted more for the confusion of Hercules then shée did for Tom a Lincolns ouerthrow But yet this griefe being cast from a Princesse fauour to a vulgar disgrace was but a pleasure to the sorrow he tooke for the misse of his Lady and Sonne No newes could hee heare of them but that they were fled from the furie of the angry Quéene which was but a vaine imagination laid vpon the enuious time but farre otherwise did mischiefe set in her foote the doting minde of his Lady Anglitora intended to a further reach which was to abandon his presence for euer and to thinke him as ominous to her sight as the killing Cockatrice The effect of this his Wiues sodaine dislike shée had caused before her departure to be carued in stone ouer the Chimny of his lodging how that She deserued damnation to leaue Father Friends and Countrie for the disloyall loue of a Bastard Of all griefes to him this was the very spring the roote the deapth the hight which when hee had read hee fell into a sounde and had it not béene for two Pages that attended him he had neuer recouered in this agony the vaines of his breast sprung out into blood and all the partes of his body swate with griefe downe fell hee then vpon his knees and immediatly pulled the King from his finger which shée had giuen him when they were first bethrothed and wash't it with his teares kissing it a hundred times All that euer hee had from her did hée wash in the blood that trickled from his b●esome and after bound them in a Cypresse to his left side directly where his heart lay protesting by that God that created him and was the guide of all his passed fortunes neuer to take them thence till either hee found his Lady or ended his life He likewise made a solemne vow to Heauen neuer to out his Haire neuer to come in Bedde neuer to weare She neuer to taste Food but onely Bread and Water nor neuer to take pleasure in humanitie till he had eased his griefe in the presence of his déerest Anglitora and that her loue were reconc●led to him Being thus strangely resolued hée discharged his Seruants and Pages giuing them all the wealth that he had and clad himselfe in tand shéeps skins made close vnto his Body whereby hée séemed rather a naked Wilde man bredde in the Wildernesse then a sencible creature brought vp by ciuill conuersation Thus bare footed and bare legged with an Iuory Staffe in his hand hée set forward to séeke his vnkind Wife and vnnaturall Sonne giuing this wofull farewell to his natiue Countrey Oh you celestiall Powers quoth he wherefore am I punished for my Parents offences Why is their secret sinnes made my publike miserie What haue I mis-done that my Wife resisteth me and like a discourteous Lady forsakes mée making her absence my present calamitie Oh thou gratious Quéene of Loue I haue béene as loyall a seruant in thy pleasures as euer was Hero to her Leander or Pryamus to his Thisbie Then what madding furie like a cruell commander hath t●ken possession of my Anglitoras heart and placed infernall conditions whereas the pure vertues of modest behauiour had wont to bee harboured It cannot bee otherwise but the enraged Quéene with her vn●uenchable Enuie hath driuen her hence and not only of one heart made two but of two séekes to make none which is by vntimely death to worke both our confusions therefore proud Quéene fa●●well let all the furies haunt thée and may thy Court séeme as hatefull to thy sight as the torments of Hell fire to a guilty Conscience Ungratefull England likewise adue to thée for all the honours I haue brought into
