who is her owne Childe And Madam let not be forgotten the wordes sir Pridos rehearsed vnto you at such time as you had lost both husband and children which was reported to him by the Ladie Argonida for loe at this instant her promise is accomplished your noble Lord Don Edward is restored and your two lost sonnes safe and sound recouered whose Knightly valure hath sufficiently discharged the sorrowe that then your afflicted person suffered The Knight of Fortune is your Sonne Palmerin to whom you gaue that name in honour of the Emperour Palmerin your Father who by the meanes of the Knight Polendos receiued your son into his Court when he likewise caused him to be tearmed by his owne name And this aduenturous knight of the Sauage man is your other Sonne which according to the place of his birth you called him Florian of the Forrest him haue you nourished brought vp by your motherly care albeit he was knowen to you for no other then a straunger Thus to knit vp your former ioy I thought good to presume so farre as to make you partners of that which was not knowen to any but onely God and my selfe The Princesse Flerida and Don Edward wel viewing one an other were suddenly rauished with such an inward ioy as it is impossible for me to giue iudgement thereon then Palmerin and Florian came imbraced each other which moued the king and all there present vnto such delight that they could not conceale the great pleasure they conceiued whereupon the king entred into these words Trust me Syr Aliart these newes were altogether vnlookt for at this present albeit they haue béene earnestly desired long before this time but yet doe me the fauour to certifie me how you are assured of that which you haue giuen foorth for a manifest troth it may be here are some that dare hardly aduenture to beléeue it If I should my good Lord answered Aliart fable in such a case I were well worthy such seuere punishment as is due to him that should falsely informe a Prince But neuerthelesse to giue you the better assurance thereof marke what shall ensue and then answere how you are satisfied Then drewe hée foorth a little Booke whereon hauing read a prettie while the Sauage man and his Wife entred the Hall who had nourished Palmerin and Florian so long in theyr Caue when presently the two Princes beholding them went and imbraced them both with great courtesie the the like did Siluian who hauing learned more ciuility in court then when he remained with his Father in the Caue knéeled downe vnto them as was his duetie The Princesse Flerida receiued such excéeding ioy that shée imbraced them both very louingly and Palmerin thinking it great dishonour to him to be vnmindfull of his nurses that had vsed him so gently tooke them by the hand and brought them before the King giuing him to vnderstand that they twain had deserued a good reward in recompence of the great affection his Brother he had found at their hands The King taking them from the ground in his armes promised that their labour should be honorably rewarded so lifting his eyes vp to heauen he vttered his ioy in this manner O heauenly Father this is the last good happe that euer I desired to sée wherefore now if it be thy pleasure take me out of this miserable world before vnconstant Fortune determine any more mischance to me This done he tooke his two Nephews and brought them to the Princesse Flerida before whom they humbled themselues on their knées kissed her hand a great many times and she casting her armes about their necke in teares remembred the great danger she saw them both in when they endured the bloody Combate at such time as shee was faine to set them at vnitie Then Don Edward their noble Father in remembrance of the valiant behauiour he had séene in them both at the Castle of Dramusiande receiued them in his armes with such courteous gréetings on either part as the ioy in such a case did vrge them to manifest The Emperor Trineus a partaker of this Fortunate sight came to both the Princes and vsed many friendly spéeches to them in like manner did the Empresse Agriola the Kings Recinde and Arnedes with all the Princes and Ladies whose ioyes were not small for this happy successe Then Palmerin vsed great courtesie to the Prince Primaleon for that he vnderstood him to be father of his Lady and Mistresse Polinarda and Sonne to the Emperor his Grandfather who had vouchsaued him his honour dnring the time he remained in his Pallace at Constantinople The Sauage man and his Wife were very graciously entertained who séeing the two Princes in dignity beyond their expectations when they were in their Caue did greatly reioyce that Fortune had so fauourably preserued their noble liues Palmerin séeing the time that euery one prepared themselues to their chambers commanded Siluian to conduct his father and mother to a faire and rich Chamber which was prouided for them Euery one departing the king accompanyed Aliart to his Chamber where he desired to know what the other knight was that came in his company If it please your Grace answered Aliart to morrow morning you shall be resolued to the vttermost in the meane space assure your selfe that he is such a one as his valour deserueth to be remembred amongst the most renowned Thus with a generall gladnesse euery one went to take their rest forgetting all gréefe that was passed before in remembrance of the fortunate successe that had happened at this instant determination of ioy CHAP. XLVIII How on the morrow Blandidon was knowne and Aliart bewraied himselfe and Pompides to be the Sonnes of the Prince Don Edward Argonida the Lady of enchāted the Isle And how the Emperour Trineus with the other Princes determined to depart from the Court of England but were desired first to goe see Castle of the Giant Dramusiande wherein the Princes had remained Prisoners so long time THe pleasures in the Court of the aged King of England of the Prince Palmerin and Don Florian his Brother that the Cittizens passed away the night merrily in making of great Bonefires ringing of Bels to manifest the ioy which they likewise conceiued for this happy accident In the morning the king went to the chamber of the two Nephewes where he found Primaleon and the Prince Vernar merrily disposing themselues together and so accompanied with Arnedes and Recinde they went to the chamber of the Emperour Trineus who béeing already stirring prepared themselues to go heare diuine Seruice which was accomplished with maruailous great solemnitie When they returned vn to the Pallace such was the assembly of people to sée the two Princes that they could hardly ascend the staires to the great hall the people were gathered into such a prease The strange Princes endcucured themselues to entertaine the Sage Aliart very honourably so that from the hightest to the lowest

prepared to another mishap which because it will happen too soone I referre it to her that shall feele it and to you that shall know it And therefore giue her to vnderstand her griefe is as needelesse as his state is helpelesse vntill the appointed time when all extreame sorrowes shall finish with vnspeakable ioyes And thus say that Argonida sendeth her these tydings to whom her losse is as displeasant as to her selfe The Damosell ending héere her Tale gaue bridle to her Palfray and left Syr Pridos into whose remembraunce the knowledge of this Lady presently came That shée was the Daughter of the Lady Enchauntresse of the Isle where the Eagle rauished Ardesdegno begotten by Primaleon at the time when such excellent Tryumphes were made after the Battayle fought against the Knight of the vnknowne Isle And of this Argonida Don Edoard had a sonne named Pompides as it is at large rehearsed in the Booke of Primaleon which I will let passe and returne to sir Pridos Who hauing well noted the tale of Argonida returneth to the place where he left the Princes and declaring vnto her all that had happened shée became more sorrowfull then before for that she desired nothing more then his company which liuing she ought to haue and yet he aliue could not haue Her sorrowes tooke so déepe a perswasion in her heart that immediately shée fell into labour which the Ladies perceiuing and the Gentlemen giuing place as was their duetie after many grieuous pa●gs which are incident to those in that taking she was happily deliuered of two goodly men Children The Ladie Atraida receyuing the two young Princes wrapped then in rich and costly clothes then preseuted them to the Princesse holding opinion that the sight of them would somwhat mitigate her great vexation of mind she taking them in her armes mixing her talke with teares declaring motherly affection thus said Ah swéete Infants I reioyce in so much as Fortune hauing wrought her malice vppon mée yet that to you twaine shee hath attributed no disloyall accident for more then she hath done well shée cannot doe respecting I haue lost a friend and you a Father How happie had I béene if in bringing you twaine into the world I had departed my selfe Yet Nature vrgeth mee to recall my wordes in that the Fathers absence is appeased by the Mothers presence and yet so sharpe are her assaults that when I would hartily nourish you twaine I am heauily brought into dismaying of my life Remaining in this heauie complaints to the two young Children such prouision was made as they would be Baptized and she being demaunded how shee weuld haue them named willed that the first might be called Palmerin after the name of her Father for that the effect of this misfortune might bee well compared to his before passed The other for because they were borne in the Forrest shée desired that his name might haue relation to the place of his birth which was thus determined Florian du Desert as much to say as Florian of the Forrest The Ceremonies accomplished which were required in this matter the Princesse receyued the two Infants vppon her lappe one while with mournfull tunes to still theyr crying au other while with the Teat to bring them asséepe euer minding the harde misfortune of her Lord and neuer ceasing to deplore the miseries of her life esteeming the one to excel all in hard happe and the other to be aboue all in vnlooked for mischaunce But as commonly it hapneth no pleasure is without his paine adioyned nor no quiet calme but by some accident or other is conuerted into a rough tempest euen so this careful Princesse whose extreame griefe and mishappe added a perswasion of minde that Fortune had done her worst and executed her vttermost spight so that what wanted to accomplish her quiet as concerning the absence of her louing Don Edoard she determined a resolute opinion albeit farre incomparable to her losse yet as Nature willed her by a forced content to asswage her vrgent Passions on the presence of the two young Princes by whom in time she had good hope to end her griefe and on whom as present occasion did serue she was somewhat satisfied But marke how vnkindely it happened In this Forrest of long time remained a Sauadge man who not vsing the companie of reasonable Creatures became vnreasonable of himselfe as the course of his life being brutish and Beastly his diet on the Hearbs and Rootes of the ground his Apparell framed of the skinnes of wilde Beastes shewed that he was a man in name but not in nature This Sauadge man walking as was his woont along the Forrest leading in his hand a couple of Lyons whome he vsed sometime to kill the Game that would serue for his nourishment vnhappily espyed the Princesse and her Traine which mooued him to withdrawe himselfe into a thicket of Trées néere adioyning where at pleasure he behold the Ceremonies vsed at the Baptizing of the Children Nowe had Fortune determined the second mishappe of the Princesse for that shee vrged the Sauadge man to goe take the two Infants who were sweetely sléeping on the Mothers lap and giue them for food vnto his Lyons that all that day had receyued no sustenaunce Foorth from among the Trées hee coms too the no little astonishment of the Princesse whose sorrowful minde was subiect to any moytie of feare and the great dismaying of her Courtly attendants who at this presence of so grim a sire betooke themselues to flight not one receyuing the courage of hart to abide by the Princesse but the Lady Attaida who neuor shrunke one foote from her but would haue aduentured the death in the Princesse defence had her might bene answerable to her good stomacke When the Princesse saw herselfe subiect to so hard a mischance that the old Duke of Galles and all the other being vnarmed were gladde to flie which indéede was their best help shee wished for Sir Pridos but hee was departed to London to fetch a Charriot to bring her to the Court which vrged her thus to content her selfe Let it suffice thée poore Flerida that thou art the only she borne vnto all misfortune Then approched to her the Sauadge man and tooke from her the two young Princes neyther vsing any words or offering any harme to her but departed presently to his Caue leauing the Princesse ouercome with a traunce whereout the Lady Attaida by her diligent meanes recouered her CHAP. IIII. ¶ How Syr Pridos being departed frow the Forrest where he left the Princesse came to the Court to the King Fredericke and declared vnto him the losse of the prince Don Edoard which was no small griefe to him and all the Cittizens of London And how the Princesse Flerida left the Forrest and was brought to the Court. AFter that Syr Pridos had séene the Byrth of the two Princes hee resolued to departe from thence to London to the ende that he might cause a

whose extreame cruell nature delighteth in thy griefe I am that Eutropa who all this while hath plagued thée and thy noble friends and will continue in tormenting thee and thine vntill this world hath made an end of me I go now to the place where I shall haue leysure to forget the iniurie thou hast done vnto me and power to fulfill my desire in thy continuall vexation These words thus ended and the Aire waxing somewhat cleare againe they might perceiue the Enchantresse in the Aire inuironed with a darke and gloomy myst like a cloud and and how she cut the Aire with a great many fiery flashes about her When she was departed forth of sight they remayned in a great amazement yet being all glad that they were rid of her who was so ill affected to them The Damosels who by the commandement of the ancient man had stayed there till the knights were perfectly rerouered came to the Prince Don Edward vsing these words Good sir giue vs leaue now to depart séeing the knight of Fortune and the Giant Dramusiande are out of danger and strong enough to endure the trauaile of their Armour Trust me Ladies answered Don Edward your great courtesies hath so seuerely bound me that I might be iustly reproached of ingratitude to suffer you depart not vsing such honourable recompence as you haue well deserued Neuerthelesse such is the simplenesse of this place to your worthy desert and so great affection to see you liberally rewarded that if you would vouchsafe the courtesie to come to the English Court or report where I may send to your abiding what I will do I leaue to your good opinions to report Sir quoth the Damosels the vertue which is alway resident in your noble minde and fameth your knightly déeds throughout the whole world that neither Enuy can blot out nor accident of time haue power to extinguish so that we may well be estéemed happy who hath so good a Champion to defend her honour As for your Princely offer we find our deserts so simple as we were loth to presume in place to séeke any recompence yet if our presence at London may either profite you or pleasure your friends we will be as ready to come as you can be desirous to wish vs there But such is now our businesse that your friends being reduced into their former estate we must néeds depart wherfore we desire you to vouchesafe vs leaue Ladies quoth Don Edward he that should séem to deny you and you not giuing consent thereto should by his boldnesse with my blood that would offer them iniury who haue deserued more then I can say And therefore when you shall thinke good to depart you may right willingly for here is none will gaine you or that dare deny you The damosels perceiuing the great humanitie of this gentle Prince failed not to giue him courteous thanks according so taking their leaue of the Knight of Fortune with all the other Princes they went to the gate of the Castle where they found two Palfrys appointed for them and being mounted thereon returned to the place from whence the ancient man brought them Don Edward séeing al was in good readinesse and that Dramusiande was méetely strong-againe he offered the castle to the knight of Fortune who wold not refuse it vpon condition that from that day forward it might be called the Fort of Fortune so leauing Pompides there to kéep it they departed al towards London accompanied with Dramusiand bearing the Armour wherein he had combatted against the knight of Fortune The Citizens being admonished of the coming of their long lost Priuce Don Edward gathered themselues in such heapes in the stréets that the Princes could hardly passe without hurting some of them with their Horses Some of them preased to sée the Prince Don Edward because he had bene so long absent from them other some to sée the giant Dramusiand maruelling that the knight of Fortune had the power to conqure him who had subdued so many Thus passing on they arriued at last at the Court where Don Edward casting his eies on the princesse Flerides Chamber the teares trickled downe his chéekes remembring how long time he had bene from thence and had not séene her whom he most honoured and intirely loued but séeing he was come againe at last and at his gentle behauiour should recompence what had béene amisse he quieted himselfe least any should behold his amorous passions King Fredericke at the entrance of the Cour came and receiued them all graciously giuing them such Princely entertainment as their nobilitie of birth and hoyourable estate required Don Edward and Dramusiande were the last that presented themselues to his Maiestie where knéeling downe and humbling himselfe to kisse his hand the Prince began as followeth My Soueraigne Lord and Father if I either haue or may find fauour at your highnes hands then let me not at this time be denied of the same as to entertaine this Giant not after the cruell deserts of his Father but euen as the most curteous and friendly knight in the world The king imbracing his sonne receiued him in his armes from the ground bedeawing his white any heary Beard with aboundance of teares which through meere loue he shed for the presence of Don Edward when hée began to answere him in this manner What he is my son who conceiuing so great desire as I of long time haue to sée you that could find in his heart to deny any thing that you should require Then comming to Dramusiande who endeuoured to kisse his Graces hand imbracing him in his armes he thus began My intent was not to shewe courtesie to him that hath béene the cause of my long continuing heauinesse but the report my sonne hath made of your great bountie and gentlenesse hath conquered the extremitie that I once had sworne to vse vnto you so that hee which would now offer to vexe you any way should be enemie to me and so not escape vnpunished The knight of Fortune humbling himselfe in his presence the King cast his armes about his necke with this gréeting My minde did assure me Sir knight that the heauy sorrowes I endured too long a time should be ended by the valour of your hautie déedes of Armes who is so welcome to my Grace as no liuing creature on the earth could be more My soueraigne Lord answered the knight of Fortune what I haue done hath bin thorow Gods appointment whose power assisting me beyond my desert haue finished the aduenture which no pollicie could otherwise bring to passe In honor of this happy victory they went al to the chiefe Church of London where seruice was accōplished with great solemnity and then returning to the Pallace the Quéene and the Princesse Flerida receiued them all with great bounty the knights vsing such courteous demeanour as beseemed the roialty of theyr persons being right glad to haue a sight of the fayre Princesse While Flerida was vsing
