V. How Don Flores and Lipsan entred into the Barke sailing in the Sea untill they arrived in the Isle non Trovee where Vrganda la Descognenda dwelt SO long rid the two Gentlewomen with Don Flores and Lipsan that they came unto the Sea shore where finding a Ship ready they embarked themselves sailing with so prosperous a Winde that scarce did Don Flores think to have béen out of the sight of the famous and great City of Constantinople when as already they were so far off that they had not onely passed all the Country of Thrace but also the sight of any Land or Country whatsoever séeing nothing else but onely Skies Clouds VVater and Waves And sailing day and night in the end they arrived in a certain place where twelve Dwarfs standing in order one by one attending their comming with Horses ready for them and presently after came thither divers Gentlemen and others that lead them straight unto a banck where going somewhat higher they discovered a Valley most pleasantly filled with Trées and running Fountains the like thereof they had never séen before which they passed through till they came to the side of a most pleasant Island being there Don Flores asked them in what place they were and what name so fruitful and pleasant a Countrey had Sir said one of the Gentlewomen this Isle you sée before you is called non Trovee where Urganda la Descogneve dwelleth and where you shall be so welcome that you will account the travel you have taken in this long journey well employed Truely Gentlewoman said he your company hath béen so acceptable unto mée that this which you name travel is in my behalf turned unto rest and pleasure by reason of the great desire I have to sée my Lady your Aunt For the which she heartily thanked him and longer had they continued in this talke but that comming unto another Arm of the Sea they stayed there because they must of force passe the same to go unto the Palace of Vrganda Then the Gentlewoman that had most entertained Don Flores during his journey said unto him Fair Gentleman this place you sée as I said before is called the Isle non Trovee and that by good right for except it pleaseth my Lady and Aunt although all the Princes of the East were purposed to come unto it yet could they never finde it and yet I tell you more that although it bée but small both in breadth length and circuit yet I dare assure you that in riches it is not second unto any neither is there the like to be found for pleasantnesse of air throughout the whole VVorld So I think said Don Flores as far as I can perceive of the rest I cannot judge as knowing nothing because that as yet I have not séen it Believe mée said the Gentlewoman when you sée it you will estéem the sight to be much more then the report and the Renown to be lesse then it deserveth And saying so they landed because they were already at the waters side where a great Barke stayed for them wherein they entred and passed over and then mounting again on their Horses riding so long till at last they discovered a far off a strong fortresse so shining that it séemed to be made of Chrystal for in déed it was builded all of white Marble polished and gilded both below and above whereat Don Flores took great pleasure yet not so much as hée did approaching near unto it and not without cause for there was never any House better seated built nor perfectly devised then it was specially the entry and all the portal being most high and stately raised with many fair pillars and that which made it séem most excellent was a story wherein was painted the combate that Amadis de Gaule made for the delivery of Brandoze one of Urgandas friends holden in prison by the Lord of the Castle de la Chausee where one of her Gentlewomen by deceit had shut him in as by the same History is shewed and that so naturally that there wanted only life to express the same Whereat Don Flores and his companion Lipsan took great pleasure because they saw King Amadis and Galaor as they thought even in the same age that they then were with the Gyant which they long time beheld and longer had done but that one of the Gentlewoman perceiving the gate shut called the Porter and bade him open it Then there came an old Gentlewoman which presently opened it and receiving Don Flores said unto him welcome the fairest young Gentleman now living with all his company then taking him by the hand shée led him into a great Hall within the Palace where Urganda la Descognevee stayed for him whom the old woman shewed unto him saying Gentleman behold there my Lady that hath taken the pains to méet and receive you Then looking before him hée perceived an old Woman most honorably and richly apparelled with two big fair and well disposed ancient Knights about forty years of age going before her and shée following being led by two Gentlewomen her couzens the one named Juliande the other Solise for her old years did not permit her to shew her self in braver sort
