to injoy their Mistresses and mine to get out of the harbour by the cheating trickes that I put upon them it seem'd to us the longest day of all the yeare Every time the clocke struck they despaired fearing to misse the telling of the houres as these do who hope for a thing that they earnestly desire and after this care they were in anextacie considering what they would do in the possession of their loves as if they had alreadie verily past the night and overcome the difficulty This doubting and hammering of theirs served me well to my purpose that they might not perceive the gulleries that I put upon them and the smoake that I sold them Whereby I finde that those who paint Love blinde have great good reason for them because that if they not bin so they would have perceived all my promises to be nothing but winde and that the meanes which I propounded to them were for no other end but to gull them * ⁎ * CHAP. X. In which he proceedeth to relate his invention begun with some discourses of Love between the Governour of the house and this Gallie-slave THenight being come which be a day for me inlightning the heaven with infinite numbers of starres so bright and resplendent that they dazeled the light of the day and filled my soule with joy when my honest Governour enters the Gallie brave Gallant and clothed with the best apparell that he had because that amongst other directions that I had given as well to him as to his Master the chiefe was that they should be fine brave as being a thing most requisite and necessarie for Magick skill and having saluted me with close embracements he said to me friend that thou maist know that I can doe what I will at the Captaines hands and that I want not goodwill to help thee thou shalt know that through my intreatie he gives thee leave to leave off thy chaine for this night and it may be for ever that thou maist walke with greater libertie and performe thy businesse and what is necessarie for it and though the Captaine made some difficultie I dealt so earnestly that I obtained this favour in earnest of that which I desire to do for thee I who then was more knavish and more dissembled then soolish fellinto some suspition imagining that this liberalitie offered ere it was desired was fained and but only to try me wherfore I answered him Sir I thanke you for the care you have had of me obtaining of my Master that he will take off my chaine a favour which I would kindly accept if it were possible but it is not because I must not change the estate that I am in nor one point of that which is of my estate it being necessarie that he who shall make this tryall must make in the same estate apparell that he is accustomed to weare and so I may not goe but in mine owne clothes with the chaine because otherwise we shall do nothing The Governour was not a little contented with my answer being assured that there was in me no kinde of deceite nor malice but the pure and simple truth pittying me beleeved assuredly that there was more passion in my words then Iustice he embraced me the second time saying friend God who is wont to give the salve according to the wound hath brought thee to this Gallie that by it thou mightst come to the knowledge of my Master and enjoy the speciall favours which thou shouldst promise to thy selfe from his liberalitie if the businesse fall out well How well answered I him hath the Captaine any suspition that I would deceive him No by the world answer'd the Governour seeing that though thou wouldst doe it thou couldst not but it is the great desire that we both have to soften the hardnesse of these she-Tygers and to turne them to our love that makes us thinke that impossible which is easie for thee to doe and this is usuall amongst Lovers I never was one answer'd I and though I should be more in love then was Narcissus I should never perswade my selfe that day were night that oxen flie and other fantasticall imaginations that haunt Lovers which rather may be called follies and idle thoughts then love-passions It well appeareth that his darts have not strucke thee saith the Governour for if thou hadst tried them thou wouldst not have spoken with so great freedome and so little trouble Know friend that Physitians ranke this disease amongst Melancholike passions into which the diseased falleth beleeving that which is not and framing a thousand phantasies and visions which have no other ground but their perverse and corrupt imagination which workes the same effect in Lovers giving them an impression of jealouse to an other of disdaine to an other of favour making a mountaine of nothing all which is bred of a burning desire which they have to possesse that which they love But to be willing to perswade this unto him who hath not tried it is to desire to draw water with a sive and to weigh the earth I am no Doctor Master Governour I answer'd him nor yet Batcehler because being left yong friendlesse and poore I lived also without knowledge having only foure words of Latin Neverthelesse by the use of reason well knowen of all sciences I understood the smal reason that Lovers have to be so oft troubled upon so small occasion as they are troubled because of necessitie their affections tend to two points to wit that the woman must be good or evil faithfull or disloyall If she be good faithfull answerable to your affection in mutuall love it is a great follie to be jealous over her if she be unfaithfull and known for such a one there needs no other counsel but not to trust her nor love her Whence may be cōcluded that all the accidents to which you say lovers are subject are the overflowings of follie and wants of wit it being a notable extravagancie to love one that hateth this being supposed that hatred cannot be the subject of love nor love of hatred seeing we ordinarily love them that bind us thereto by their love If it went by experience saith the Governor thou wilt lose thy cause because usually they hate these that love them best taking the sight of a dying man for the occasion of their hate and it is a voice in them now a dayes turned into a nature to shun those that follow them and to abhorre those who adore them as the Captaine and I have hitherto made a long and unhappy tryall Thinke not so Master Governour I answer'd that you have made a good conclusion for if you will have the patience to heare me I will make you see clearely in what your arguments faile and know that love ceaseth not to love nor hatred to hate there being no law of nature and he that foster'd you in this philosophy hath fed you with bad milke because that Love
