and eke the murthres knight before And being then adrad and standing in a doubt Of Counte Prouince and the rest that bordred thereabout He sadled vp his horse and roade in post away The night did fauour his intent As soone as it was day T was all the countrey through that such a dame was dead And presently vpon the fact the knight him selfe was fled Then they that seruants were of eyther castle came With bitter teares and tooke the dead the knight and take the dame And in the castle Church in marble hewde for twaine They buried both the murthered knight and eke the Ladie slaint With verses on the graue to shew both who they were And what was cause that Guardastan and she were buried there The Lenuoy THE Poet that to Loue did pen the path And taught the trade Cupidos yinpes to traine Within his second booke aduised hath That who so lookes and would be willing taine To keepe his loue vnto himselfe he must Neither brother friend nor yet companion trust And hereupon his grounded reason growes That ech man seekes to serue himselfe in chiefe And he to sight that friendliest countenance showes Yet for his flesh will soonest play the theefe As stolne Deare in taste exceedes the gift So gallantst gaine is that which commes by shyft In greatest trust the greatest treason lyes Where least we feare there harme we soonest finde In open foe each man full quickly flyes Hee woundeth most that strikes his blowe behinde But little hurt the open Adder workes The Snake stings sore that in the couert lurkes The barking Hound hath seldome hap to bite His mouth bewrayes his meaning by his crie No byrde vpon the open twig● doth light The naked Net ech foolish foule doth fiye The hidden hooke is hee that doth the feate Of sugred bane the wiliest mouse will eate Who feares no fraude wyth ease you may biguyle The simple minde will soone be ouergone He takes least barme that doubtes deceyt and wile And dreading thornes doth let the Rose alone The Trumpets sound bewrayes the Foe at hand And warning giues his furie to withstand The glewing grome that fyghts before becommes Is eyther voyded or by sleight subdued The way to wynne is not to beate the drummes For threatning throates are easily eschued The surest meane to worke anothers woe Is fayre to speake and be a fryend in showe Had not this knight reposde assured trust Vpon his fryend that loude him as his life Could he so well haue serude his fylthie lust Or leysure had so to abusde his wife No had he thought such treason hyd in breast He would haue lookte more nearely to hys gu●st But louing well and meaning not amish He lowde him scope without suspect of ill To come and goe to vse the house as hys A perfect shewe of very great good wyll Both purse and plate both lands and lyfe and all Saue wife alone lay pledge at euery call Which makes his fault and foule offence the more That dyd this deede and wrought this trechery Against his friend that loude him euermore And thought him void of vice of lechery Good nature deemd that Guardastan could not For fleshly iust so deare a friend forgot But see how synne once seasing on the minde Doth muffle man and leades him quight a●●ay It makes him passe beyoud the boundes of kynde And swerue the trade where truth and vertues lay Refuling friendes reiecting lawes and right For greedy care to compasse foule delyght And as the man herein deserueth shame For stoupyng so to base and beastly vice So are those dames exceedingly too blame Whose glaueryng glee to lewdnesse doth entice Who frame their lookes their gesture tongs and tale To serue their turne in steede of pleasant stale Two sorts I fynde deseruing trust aleeke The mounting minds that sue for hygh estate And such againe as sensuall pleasures secke And hunt the haunt of euery louyng mate Both which to come by what they like and loue Renounce theyr friends and scorne the Gods aboue But marke yet well the sause that doth ensue Such stoine flesh is bytter as the gall Great are the plagues to such disorders due From skyes reuenge and fearefull scourge doth fall The dome diuine although it suffer long Yet strikes at last and surely wreakes the wrong For Heleus rage king Menelaus wife The Stories tell how Priam and his towne Confounded were and how for broyle and strife In wrongfull cause the walles were battered downe Full many a knyght in battayle spent his blood And all because the quarrell was not good So when this Traitor knight had fed his fyll Vpon Rossilions wyfe and wrongde his friende By foule abuse in guerdon of his ill The wrathfull Gods brought him to wretched end To quit hys glee and all his former sport He dyed the death in most vnhappie sort And shée who falst hée faith and marriage heste And double penance for her pleasure past For fyrst she eate his heart she fansied best And desperately did kill her selfe at last Note here the fruttes of treason and of lust Forbeare the like for God is euer iust Nihil proditore tutum Amore Puo piu che ogni amicitia et che ogni honore The Argument to the fift Historie THe Lumbard Albyon conquered Cunimund And after death of him inioyd the state And married with the Ladie Rosamund The Princes daughter whom he slue so late Whose skull he did conuert into a pot Because his conquest should not be forgot His custome was at euerie feast hee made To drinke therein for pompe and foolish pride And on a time his Queene he gan perswade To doe the like whereto she nought replide But so much scornd his offer of disdaine As straight she drew a plot to haue him slaine A noble man that Don Ermigio hight With on Parradio by the Queenes deceate Were wrought to kill this mouster if they might And by the sworde they meant to doe the feare And so they did within little while VVhen least the king mistrusted anie guile Vpon his death Ermigio out of hand Espousde the ladie Rosamand to his wife Which when longums chaunst to vnderstand He practisde with the Queene to reaue his life To th end that he might marrie with his dame Who gaue consent to do this deade of shame With venim vile to worke she thought it best Which when Ermigio dranke and found the drist By force be draue the Queene to drinke the rest Who seeing that there was none other shift The pay son supt and took it patientlie As iust rewarde for both their villanie Parradio eke whose helping hand did further The Lumbards baue and brought him to his death For guerdon due to him to quit the murther First lost his eies and after that his breath That men might see how trulie God doth And plague offences lightlie with the like
