blinde Lanterns because thei tourne them and hide their light when thei liste And because he was a yong manne of verie good strengthe and had brought with him instrumentes of Iron to open the Toumbe and lift vp the stone that couered it he gat it open and hauyng vnder propped it surelie He went into the Vaute and tooke the woman straight waie in his armes mindyng to bryng her out and carrie her awaie so a sleape as she was But the force and vertue of the pouder beeyng finished and spent assone as he moued her she awaked out of her sleape and seeyng her self clad in that sorte emong ragges and dedde bones she began to tremble and to cry alas where am I Or who hath brought me hether wretche that I am Marie that hath your cruell and vnfaithfull housebande aunswered the Scholer who hauyng poisoned you to Marrie a common Strumpet hath buried you here whether I come to trie if by my skill I could reuiue you and call backe your soule by those remedies which I had deuised vnto your bodie againe Whiche if I could not haue doen as I intended I was resolued to haue died hereby you and to haue laied my dedde bodie here by yours to reste vntill the latter daie hopyng that my Spirite should in the meane while haue come and enioyed yours where euer it had been But since the Heauens haue been so fauorable vnto me as in this extreame daunger wherein you were to graunte suche vertue vnto the remedies whiche I haue vsed towarde you as the whiche I haue been able to kepe vndissolued your gentle Spirite with your faire bodie I hope my deare that you will henceforthe consider what the affection of your wicked housebande hath been toward you and how greate good will and by consideration thereof discerne and resolue which of vs twoo hath beste deserued to be beloued of you Agatha findyng her self in that sort buried in deede did easily beleeue the truthe whiche the Scholer told her and to her self concluded that her housebande had shewed hymself in her behalf a man of all other moste cruell and dis●●all Wherfore tournyng her self toward the Scholer she saied vnto hym Alonso I can not deny but that my housebande hath been to me not onely vnkinde but cruell also nor I can not but cōfesse that you haue declared your self to be moste louyng and affectioned toward me and of force I must acknowledge my self beholding vnto you of no lesse then of my life since alas I se my self here emong dedde bodies buried aliue But for as muche although my housebande haue broken his vowe to me I haue not yet at any tyme failed my faithe to hym I doe require you that if you desire that I should esteme this kind and louing office of yours as it deserueth to be esteemed or make accompt of this life whiche you haue giuen me you will haue due regard and consideration of myne honestie and that you will not by offering me any villanie whiche neuerthelesse I can not any waie missedoubt where I haue alwaies found so muche and so great courtesie make this your courteous and pitifull acte to be lesse commendable and praise worthie then it is Whiche if you do bridle your vnlawfull and sensuall appetite and desire will remain the moste vertuous and worthie of honor and fame that euer courteous Gentleman hath do●n for a miserable woman since the worlde beganne Alonso failed not with affectuall and manifest argumētes to perswade her that her housebande had now no more right or title to her at all and that although he had yet if she were wise she should not commit her self vnto his courtesie again since by this mortall token he had giuen her a sufficient testimonie of his ranckor and euil will towardes her whereby she might well enough bee assured not to escape when soeuer she should resolue to put her self againe into his handes and that therefore she was not to make any accoumpte of hym but to shewe her self thanckfull for so greate a benefite as she had receiued and to requite hym so with her fauour and courtesie as he might now in the ende attaine to gather the frute of his long and constaunt good will and of his trauell sustained for the saffegarde of her life And with those woordes bendyng himself toward her he would haue taken a kisse of her lippes But Agatha thrustyng hym backe saied vnto hym againe If my housebande Alonso haue broken those bandes wherwith I was knitte vnto hym by Matrimonie through his wicked and leude demeanour yet haue not I for my parte dissolued them neither will I at any tyme so long as I shall liue As for committing my self vnto his courtesie or going any more into his handes therein I thinke it good to followe your aduise not that I would bee vnwillyng to liue and dwell with him if I might hope to finde hym better disposed but because I would bee lothe to fall eftsones into the like daunger and greeuous perill And as for requiting you for this your commendable trauaile in my behalf I knowe not what better recompence I am able to giue you then to rest bound vnto you for euer and to acknowledge my self beholdyng vnto pour courtesie for my life whiche obligation if it maie satisfie you I will be as glad and as content as I maie be in this miserable state wherein I am But if your meanyng perchaunce be that the losse of mine honestie should bee the reward and hire for your paines I doe beseche you to depart hence out of this tombe and to leaue me here inclosed for I had rather die here thus buried quicke through the ●rueltie of my housband then through any suche compassion or pitie to saue my life with the losse of mine honour and good name The Scholer by those wordes perceiued well enough the honest disposition of Agarha whiche he wondered at consideryng that the terror of death it self was not able once to moue her from her faithfulnesse and cōstancie of mind And though it were greeuous vnto hym to finde her so stedfast yet hopyng that by tyme in the ende he might ouercome her chast and honest purpose aunswered that he could not but commende her for her disposition though he deserued a kinder recompence of his long and feruent loue and she a more louing and faithfull housband But since she was so resolued he would frame him self to be content with what she would and not craue of her any thyng that she would not willyngly graunt hym to haue And therewith helpyng her out of the Sepulcher he led her home vnto his house and left her there with an olde woman that kept his house to whom he recomended her and whose helpe he was assured of to dispose the good will of Agatha towardes hym and the next mornyng returned into the Citie Gonsales after a fewe daies seeming not to be able to liue without a wife to take care of his familie
