after so many troubles into the absolute possession of that Crown which was due unto her by her so many deserts and for so many other reasons Nissena was mightily pleased with this newes but the hearing that her beloved Doralbo had run hazard of his life onely in her revenge caused so great a passion of heart in her as though it were the effect of joy had yet somewhat mixt with it of sorrowfull and bitter passions which she wisely concealed Having rewarded the Souldiers with a rich chain of Massie gold they were dismist and she immediatly her impetuous-impetuous-love passion ceasing a little gave Order that all the Commanders and chief men of the Citie should follow her for she would goe towards Niccsia The Sun hasted towards the West to leave the World in darkness and Doralbo accompanied with above an hundred Gentlemen spur●d on his Horse towards that Sunne which brought unto him a rise of joy and whose bright beams he hoped to enjoy in spight of the approaching night Nissena when she heard a far off the noyse of Trumpets which advertis'd her of her Warriers approach she felt her heart not onely beat but flutter so within her breast as she thought she had been neer death and that those were the last beatings of her soul which would open the passage to get out of her body When Doralbo heard from a-far off the thunder of those Drums which preceded the lightning of that countenance with which his adored Nissena came to assault him he much to his amazement fell a trembling even then when he found himselfe more then ever inflamed with unquenchable heat At last these two souls in love who had long since incountred each other in their affections met one another now with their eyes Nor did the noyse of a thousand musket shot of a hundred Trumpets and of as many other War Instruments mixt with the neighing and trampling of horses and common shouts of joy hinder them from hearing one another say with their looks and strive who should best express themselves therein Well met dear eyes so long desired I now do more then ever feel the fire of love Thus they said in a language understood by none but themselves Doralbo leapt from horsback and had not she hinder'd him was ready to fall down prostrate before Nissena to whom with a trembling voice he said Your Majestie is at last return'd to Nicosia to receive that Crown which will be proud of the honour of incircling your Temples you are come to receive some shadow of that reward which is due to the Immensitie of your merit I have not bin wanting for whatlies in my power to sacrifice my life to the Deitie of your greatness but the Gods have pleased to preserve me that upon some other occasion I may be readie to lose it I shall do it at all times O my Queen for your service for whose sake death would have been and shal ever be welcome to me He would have proceeded but was thus by her interrupted Sir I know how great my obligations are to you the Crown of Cyprus would be but a weak return of Gratitude for what you have done for me Let it suffice I am not ungratefull Doralbo would have reply'd but struck through with a pleasing smile and affable look from her his answer was turnd into a sigh which though it were cut short off made the inamour'd Queen fully understand that she was the Shrine that he adored She afterwards apply'd her selfe to receive obsequious applications from the other Gentlemen who with reverence bowed unto her to whom she answered with such a Majestical Grace as all of them blamed Fortune which had so long kept her from that sublime degree which her so many perefctions did deserve All the Ladies of Nicofia came to her clothed in black as a Livery which they wore to the memory of the deceased King and to their Queens Widowhood to whom humbly bowing themselves they found in her an affable but not abject correspondency such as shewed Majesty but not pride whence that reverentiall love began in them with which Nissena was ever after respected and beloved by all her Subjects of whatsoever condition Before they could get to Nicosia darkness had canopied over the vvhole Orizon so as the great abundance of lighted Torches and Bonsires did in an instant so inlighten the darkness of the night as it had no reason to envie the brightest day and yet all these flames and heats appear'd to Doralbo but obscure horrors in respect of those beams which darted from Nissena's eyes She came unto the Palace amidst the noyse of Warl●ck Instruments the shouts and acclamations of the rejoycing people and calling to mind how she had not long before fled from thence abandoned by all and how she now returned reverenced and cried up nay as it were adored she could not but admire the strauge fickleness of Fortune She would not forbear giving of audience and receiving congratulations from the numerous inundation of Ladies Lords Tituladoes and personages of all condition til she was insufferably weary but at last she was inforc'd to betake her self to her rest She gave order that Eurania Doralbo Agenor of Soria and Filarbo should sup in privat with her the chief Commanders of the Army having their Lodgings appointed out to them in the Court and being treated with such sumptuositie as belonged unto them The Armies were entertained in the field with such abundance of rich Wines of vvhich Cyprus is very plentiful with such varietie of Viands as the Soldiers spent the whole night almost in their cups and eating The Queen vvas readie to sit dovvn vvith the others at the Table vvhen she vvas inform'd that tvvo Gentlemen of Rhodes desired audience bring them in said she I shal soon dispatch them Theocastro and Emerino entred together with the miserable Melaspus loaded with Irons who prostrating themselves before her presented Melaspus to her as a slave All were amazed at this so unexpected a sight but Doralbo I know not whether out of disdain or pittie a colour coming into his face broke forth into these words The Heavens at last leave no guilty persons unpunished Who would ever have imagined most gratious Queen that this fellow should at this time be brought hither in this condition perfectly to compleat your Majesties happiness and safety These said she are miracles which divine Justice knows only how to bring about Let him be led unto the Castle and let him be well treated there I bequeath him to you Prince Doralbo appointing you to be his Judge but upon this condition that you absolve him of being partaker of his fathers wickedness Go and be of good comfort Melaspus said Doralbo you have already begun to taste of the Queens clemencie Theocastre and Emerino having recounted their adventures sate down likewise at the Table with Nissena who had leasure enough at a long and gladsome supper to let Doralbo know by her most modest favours that she lov'd him better then her self Four whole days were past over by these two Lovers neither of them daring to discover their affections unless by their looks and by letting some little words escape which equivocally noted their inward heat of heart in which Nissena busied her self onely in dispensing her rewards and favours and in winning not only the love but the Idolatry of her Subjects Nissena thought it unbefitting her to speak her love to Doralbo and though she knew she was in regard of her prioritie bound to begin first in the declaration thereof and was sometimes resolved to do so her innate modestie would not suffer her so to do or else her very affection hindred her it being impossible for one who truely loves to say he loves Doralbo who did not believe he merited Nissena's service much less her love would rather have chosen to die then to make his affection known unto her by discovery of his flames Who am I said he within himself or what am I that I should pretend love unto so beautifull a Queen 'T is true I am born a Prince I have served her to the evident neglect of my life and I love her more dearly then mine own soul But what 's all this She merits greater things Should I discover my love and she not correspond with me therein what would become of me is it not safer to say nothing to serve observe and nourish stil my hopes then to receive my death from her scorn or from her flat denial if she be pleased to Crown our love with reward she will not want ways and means how to do it Thus did both she and he in vain lament which crafty Eurania perceiving and compassionating their too abstenious ravings she invited them one day after dinner into a Closset to see certain Pictures wherein were drawn to the life the affections between Venus and Adonis and hence she took an occasion freely to say unto them this is the way of love my Children I know Nissena and Doralbo that you burn in love each with other in unquenchable fires and strive who should love one another best why do you then thus id'ly consume your selves away cold in the midst of flames Say Nissena I take thee Doralbo for my husband Say you Doralbo I take thee Nissena for my wife so so imbrace each other Matrimonial love is no shame to the world nor fault committed against heaven The two Lovers with a blushing countenance and ill assured look confirm'd her sayings and grew so bold as at one and the same instant they ran so greedily to interchange a kiss as their souls had almost flown through excess of joy from out their inamour'd breasts Here ended the sorrws and began the joys of Nissena and Doralbo who reigned prosperously and loved each other faithfully all their life FINIS
