no hurte to the common weale your petition shall be signed The rascall Théefe hearing this seuere iudgement as the Italians are naturally quick witted replyed If chiefe Magistrates should set their hands to this Iustice There would be more Lawyers hanged for stealing of houses then Rogues for robbing of hedges The answere of the Doctor and the replie of the poore fellow made the company so merry that for the pastime the trespasser had made them they remitted the punishment of his offence The laughter quieted in the commendation of his countreymans capacitie quoth Soranso Master Doctor this poore Snake spake true Italian Yea quoth the Doctor but he lackes the vertues of the ancient Romanes Italians are wise but euill conditioned couertly expressing thereby that their wits were good but their conditions were euill Bargetto enuying the fauours Ismarito receiued and for some priuate grudge Enuy euermore quarelleth with those that are fauoured about crossing in argument sought by some pleasant scoffe to raise an vnkind quarel and with that intent quoth he Segnior Ismarito I drinke vnto you with a better affection than I bare you in my sléepe for I dreamed with my Rapier drawne I chased you to your Chamber Ismarito quickly answered Quarellers seek their owne miscerefe I pleadge you Segnior Bargetto but with lesse feare then you supposed to be in mée when you were asléepe for men after they are awake expound dreames by contraries Bargetto deceiued of his expectation was driuen by patience to salue the wound he had giuen himselfe But Segnior Philoxenus A wise foresight in a Gentleman to take away the cause of after kindnesse reaued the company of leasure to iudge of Bargettoes quarelling dreame or of Ismaritoes crosse exposition by kéeping of them exercised with a new deuice Indéede quoth he Dreames are vncertaine and therfore not to be regarded but there is a true kinde of diuination in Palmestrie and so in looking in Maria Belochies hand Palmestrie a prety idle qualitie for a Gentleman he vsed certaine names of Arte and gaue a voluntarie pleasing Iudgement which fiered all the Ladies and Gentlewomen with an earnest desire to know their fortune and by this meanes theremembrance of former questions was taken away Wherein Segnior Philoxenus wisdome may be a president for other Gentlemen that heare quarels a bréeding to smoulder them in the shell for men that bee angry A necessary note for a Gentleman are bound to their passion when such as are not moued haue liberty to pacifie with discretion Thus with their spirites well pleased Quéene Aurelia and the rest of the companie rose from the Table and after ordinarie curtesie ended they paused a time by the Fire to put their wits in order for the following disputation who at the ordinary houre entered the drawing Chamber where the Eunuch ready to discharge his duety vnto the Lute sung this following Sonet REgarde my loue but not my frosty hayres Although faire Dame the least may moue content For Loue Fayth Zeale stands firme in aged yeares When light greene youth is fickle in intent The aged knowes the leaues and fruite of youth The leaues they leaue and with the fruit doe loue The sayings of olde age are indged trueth Let loue and trueth misliking then remoue What though my chin be clothed all in white White in your cheekes the chiefest colour is Which fayre dye doth make you seeme so bright As men holde you the source of beauties blisse Sweete Mistresse then of all the fayre the Flower Let not condemne what doth your selfe commende Ruth seemes your face let rigor not deuour His loue and life that liues and dyes your friend This Sonet moued the company to smile not because the inuention was vnwittie but in that it was the fruits of Doctor Mossenigoes Muse who to reuenge vpon himselfe all the iniurie which he had done to the sexe of Women became enamoured of Katherina Trista the waspishest Damosel among the whole troupe of Gentlewomen But knowing the Doctors Philosophie could not so subdue his affection but that time would make them all sporte and him smarte they dissembled their knowledge of his folly as déepely as he couered the passions of his fancy notwithstanding to raise some spéech and to set the Doctor a worke with hope Quoth Aluisa Vechio this Sonet prophesieth a happie life to a young woman and much comfort to an olde man if their fortunes be so good as to be maried together And if I had as good a passage for my opinion as I haue Reason to mayntayne the same I would thinke to prooue this couple worthy of a place in Platoes Paradise Among so many good Orators quoth Quéene Aurelia you cannot want an aduocate Whereupon Katharina Trista with a false eye coniured the Doctor in this question to maintaine his Lone who thus enioyned tooke vpon him to maintaine Aluisa Vechioes opinion Quéene Aurelia licensed him and no aduersary appeared to discourage him whereupon quoth he where an old man marieth a yong woman the contentment séemes to be much Defences where an olde man marieth a yong woman and the comfort more my reason is the olde man hath not onely chosen a wife to recreate him as a companion but a Cooke to prepare chosen meates for his impaired appetite and a Staffe to sustaine his Age. The yong wife also may holde her selfe happie in this fortune for she hath chosen one whom she may not onely rule but commaund and for a little paines who will leaue her possest of a great deale of liuing And this is most certaine that cruel and wilde Creatures do most hurt where their will is most resisted and haue great compassion where they finde no proffer of repulse The Lyon in his greatest hunger hurts not the wounded Shéepe the Crocadile with teares washeth the blood from a murthered man and the raging Sea refresheth the yéelding Réede much more a woman that by nature is beautified with pittie if she rule without checke will glory in the good vsage of her Husband and this is in dayly vse that the olde man in assemblies findes his yong wife modest in her spéech bashfull in her lookes and nice in occasion of suspition and whether this behauiour procéeds of desire to be praised or of feare to be blamed I conclude the cause with her commendation for that to do well in hope of praise comes of the incouragement of vertue and to do well for feare of reprehension is the signe of a good inclination By Saint Anne Sir quoth Soranso you well deserue a Fée especially Reproofe c. of the yong wife in that you so cunningly haue coloured her ouersight and so Clarkely haue commended her good vsage of her olde Husband but your Suggestion tends to as small effect as the Fortune is euill of a couple thus vnequally matched for that common reason will refute your weake opinion and dayly experience recordes the miseries of the
