Cant. II.
Blandamour winnes false Florimell,
Paridell for her striuesstrives,
They are accorded: Agape
doth lengthen her sonnes liueslives.
[1]
Firebrand of hell first tynd in Phlegeton,
By thousand furies, and from thence out throwen
Into this world, to worke confusion,
And set it all on fire by force vnknownenunknownen,
Is wicked discord, whose small sparkes once blowen
None but a God or godlike man can slake;
Such as was Orpheus, that when strife was growen
Amongst those famous ympes of Greece, did take
His siluersilver Harpe in hand, and shortly friends them make.
[2]
Or such as that celestiall Psalmist was,
That when the wicked feend his Lord tormented,
With heauenlyheavenly notes, that did all other pas,
The outrage of his furious fit relented.
Such Musicke is wise words with time concented,
To moderate stiffe minds, disposd to striuestrive:
Such as that prudent Romane well inuentedinvented,
What time his people into partes did riuerive,
Them reconcyld againe, and to their homes did driuedrive.
[3]
Such vs’dus’d wise Glauce to that wrathfull knight,
To calme the tempest of his troubled thought:
Yet Blandamour with termes of foule despight,
And Paridell her scornd, and set at nought,
As old and crooked and not good for ought.
Both they vnwiseunwise, and warelesse of the euillevill,
That by themseluesthemselves vntounto themseluesthemselves is wrought,
Through that false witch, and that foule aged dreuilldrevill,
The one a feend, the other an incarnate deuilldevill.
[4]
With whom as they thus rode accompanide,
They were encountred of a lustie Knight,
That had a goodly Ladie by his side,
To whom he made great dalliance and delight.
It was to weete the bold Sir Ferraugh hight,
He that from Braggadocchio whilome reft
The snowy Florimell, whose beautie bright
Made him seeme happie for so glorious theft;
Yet was it in due triall but a wandring weft.
[5]
Which when as Blandamour, whose fancie light
Was alwaies flitting as the waueringwavering wind,
After each beautie, that appeard in sight,
Beheld, eftsoones it prickt his wanton mind
With sting of lust, that reasons eye did blind,
That to Sir Paridell these words he sent;
Sir knight why ride ye dumpish thus behind,
Since so good fortune doth to you present
So fayre a spoyle, to make you ioyousjoyous meriment?
[6]
But Paridell that had too late a tryall
Of the bad issue of his counsell vaine,
List not to hearke, but made this faire denyall;
Last turne was mine, well prouedproved to my paine,
This now be yours, God send you better gaine.
Whose scoffed words he taking halfe in scorne,
Fiercely forth prickt his steed as in disdaine,
Against that Knight, ere he him well could torne
By meanes whereof he hath him lightly ouerborneoverborne.
[7]
Who with the sudden stroke astonisht sore,
VponUpon the ground a while in slomber lay;
The whiles his louelove away the other bore,
And shewing her, did Paridell vpbrayupbray;
Lo sluggish Knight the victors happie pray:
So fortune friends the bold: whom Paridell
Seeing so faire indeede, as he did say,
His hart with secret enuieenvie gan to swell,
And inly grudge at him, that he had sped so well.
[8]
Nathlesse proud man himselfe the other deemed,
HauingHaving so peerelesse paragon ygot:
For sure the fayrest Florimell him seemed,
To him was fallen for his happie lot,
Whose like aliuealive on earth he weened not:
Therefore he her did court, did serueserve, did wooe,
With humblest suit that he imagine mot,
And all things did deuisedevise, and all things dooe,
That might her louelove prepare, and liking win theretoo.
[9]
She in regard thereof him recompenst
With golden words, and goodly countenance,
And such fond fauoursfavours sparingly dispenst:
Sometimes him blessing with a light eye-glance,
And coy lookes tempring with loose dalliance;
Sometimes estranging him in sterner wise,
That hauinghaving cast him in a foolish trance,
He seemed brought to bed in Paradise,
And prou’dprov’d himselfe most foole, in what he seem’d most wise.
[10]
So great a mistresse of her art she was,
And perfectly practiz’d in womans craft,
That though therein himselfe he thought to pas,
And by his false allurements wylie draft,
Had thousand women of their louelove beraft,
Yet now he was surpriz’d: for that false spright,
Which that same witch had in this forme engraft,
Was so expert in eueryevery subtile slight,
That it could ouerreachoverreach the wisest earthly wight.
[11]
Yet he to her did dayly seruiceservice more,
And dayly more deceiueddeceived was thereby;
Yet Paridell him enuiedenvied therefore,
As seeming plast in sole felicity:
So blind is lust, false colours to descry.
But Ate soone discouerydiscovery his desire,
And finding now fit opportunity
To stirre vpup strife, twixt louelove and spight and ire,
Did priuilyprivily put coles vntounto his secret fire.
[12]
By sundry meanes thereto she prickt him forth,
Now with remembrance of those spightfull speaches,
Now with opinion of his owne more worth,
Now with recounting of like former breaches
Made in their friendship, as that Hag him teaches:
And euerever when his passion is allayd,
She it reuiuesrevives and new occasion reaches:
That on a time as they together way’d,
He made him open chalenge, and thus boldly sayd.
[13]
Too boastfull Blandamour, too long I beare
The open wrongs, thou doest me day by day,
Well know’st thou, whẽwhen we friendship first did sweare,
The couenantcovenant was, that eueryevery spoyle or pray
Should equally be shard betwixt vs tway:
Where is my part then of this Ladie bright,
Whom to thy selfe thou takest quite away?
Render therefore therein to me my right,
Or answere for thy wrong, as shall fall out in fight.
[14]
Exceeding wroth thereat was Blandamour,
And gan this bitter answere to him make;
Too foolish Paridell, that fayrest floure
Wouldst gather faine, and yet no paines wouldst take:
But not so easie will I her forsake;
This hand her wonne, this hand shall her defend.
With that they gan their shiueringshivering speares to shake,
And deadly points at eithers breast to bend,
Forgetfull each to hauehave bene euerever others frend.
[15]
Their firie Steedes with so vntameduntamed forse
Did beare them both to fell auengesavenges end,
That both their speares with pitilesse remorse,
Through shield and mayle, and haberieon did wend,
And in their flesh a griesly passage rend,
That with the furie of their owne affret,
Each other horse and man to ground did send;
Where lying still a while, both did forget
The perilous present stownd, in which their liueslives were set.
[16]
As when two warlike Brigandines at sea,
With murdrous weapons arm’d to cruell fight,
Doe meete together on the watry lea,
They stemme ech other with so fell despight,
That with the shocke of their owne heedlesse might,
Their wooden ribs are shaken nigh a sonderasonder;
They which from shore behold the dreadfull sight
Of flashing fire, and heare the ordenance thonder,
Do greatly stand amaz’d at such vnwontedunwonted wonder.
[17]
At length they both vpstartedupstarted in amaze;
As men awaked rashly out of dreme,
And round about themseluesthemselves a while did gaze,
Till seeing her, that Florimell did seme,
In doubt to whom she victorie should deeme,
Therewith their dulled sprights they edgd anew,
And drawing both their swords with rage extreme,
Like two mad mastiffes each on other flew,
And shields did share, &and mailes did rash, and helmes did hew.
[18]
So furiously each other did assayle,
As if their soules they would attonce hauehave rent
Out of their brests, that streames of bloud did rayle
Adowne, as if their springs of life were spent;
That all the ground with purple bloud was sprent,
And all their armours staynd with bloudie gore,
Yet scarcely once to breath would they relent,
So mortall was their malice and so sore,
Become of fayned friendship which they vow’d afore.
[19]
And that which is for Ladies most befitting,
To stint all strife, and foster friendly peace,
Was from those Dames so farre and so vnfittingunfitting,
As that in stead of praying them surcease,
They did much more their cruelty encrease;
Bidding them fight for honour of their louelove,
And rather die 1596.bk4.IV.ii.19.7. then: thanthenthan Ladies cause release.
With which vaine termes so much they did thẽthem mouemove,
That both resolu’dresolv’d the last extremities to proueprove.
[20]
There they I weene would fight vntilluntill this day,
Had not a Squire, eueneven he the Squire of Dames,
By great aduentureadventure trauelledtravelled that way;
Who seeing both bent to so bloudy games,
And both of old well knowing by their names,
Drew nigh, to weete the cause of their debate:
And first laide on those Ladies thousand blames,
That did not seeke t’appease their deadly hate,
But gazed on their harmes, not pittying their estate.
[21]
And then those Knights he humbly did beseech,
To stay their hands, till he a while had spoken:
Who lookt a little vpup at that his speech,
Yet would not let their battell so be broken,
Both greedie fiers on other to be wroken.
Yet he to them so earnestly did call,
And them coniur’dconjur’d by some well knowen token,
That they at last their wrothfull hands let fall,
Content to heare him speake, and glad to rest withall.
[22]
First he desir’d their cause of strife to see:
They said, it was for louelove of Florimell,
Ah gentle knights (quoth he) how may that bee,
And she so farre astray, as none can tell,
Fond Squire, full angry then sayd Paridell,
Seest not the Ladie there before thy face?
He looked backe, and her aduizingadvizing well,
Weend as he said, by that her outward grace,
That fayrest Florimell was present there in place.
[23]
Glad man was he to see that ioyousjoyous sight,
For none aliuealive but ioy’djoy’d in Florimell,
And lowly to her lowting thus behight;
Fayrest of faire, that fairenesse doest excell,
This happie day I hauehave to greete you well,
In which you safe I see, whom thousand late,
Misdoubted lost through mischiefe that befell;
Long may you liuelive in health and happie state,
She litle answer’d him, but lightly did aggrate.
[24]
Then turning to those Knights, he gan a new;
And you Sir Blandamour and Paridell,
That for this Ladie present in your vew,
HaueHave rays’d this cruell warre and outrage fell,
Certes me seemes bene not aduisedadvised well,
But rather ought in friendship for her sake
To ioynejoyne your force, their forces to repell,
That seeke perforce her from you both to take,
And of your gotten spoyle their owne triumph to make.
[25]
Thereat Sir Blandamour with countenance sterne,
All full of wrath, thus fiercely him bespake;
A readAread thou Squire, that I the man may learne,
That dare fro me thinke Florimell to take.
Not one (quoth he) but many doe partake
Herein, as thus. It lately so befell,
That Satyran a girdle did vptakeuptake,
Well knowne to appertaine to Florimell,
Which for her sake he wore, as him beseemed well.
[26]
But when as she her selfe was lost and gone,
Full many knights, that louedloved her like deare,
Thereat did greatly grudge, that he alone
That lost faire Ladies ornament should weare,
And gan therefore close spight to him to beare:
Which he to shun, and stop vile enuiesenvies sting,
Hath lately caus’d to be proclaim’d each where
A solemne feast, with publike turneying,
To which all knights with them their Ladies are to bring.
[27]
And of them all she that is fayrest found,
Shall hauehave that golden girdle for reward,
And of those Knights who is most stout on ground,
Shall to that fairest Ladie be prefard.
Since therefore she her selfe is now your ward,
To you that ornament of hers pertaines,
Against all those, that chalenge it to gard,
And sauesave her honour with your ventrous paines;
That shall you win more glory, 1596.bk4.IV.ii.27.9. then: thanthenthan ye here find gaines.
[28]
When they the reason of his words had hard,
They gan abate the rancour of their rage,
And with their honours and their louesloves regard,
The furious flames of malice to asswage.
Tho each to other did his faith engage,
Like faithfull friends thenceforth to ioynejoyne in one
With all their force, and battell strong to wage
Gainst all those knights, as their professed fone,
That chaleng’d ought in Florimell, sauesave they alone.
[29]
So well accorded forth they rode together
In friendly sort, that lasted but a while;
And of all old dislikes they made faire weather,
Yet all was forg’d and spred with golden foyle,
That vnderunder it hidde hate and hollow guyle.
Ne certes can that friendship long endure,
How euerever gay and goodly be the style,
That doth ill cause or euillevill end enure:
For vertue is the band, that bindeth harts most sure.
[30]
Thus as they marched all in close disguise,
Of fayned louelove, they chaunst to ouertakeovertake
Two knights, that lincked rode in louelylovely wise,
As if they secret counsels did partake;
And each not farre behinde him had his make,
To weete, two Ladies of most goodly hew,
That twixt themseluesthemselves did gentle purpose make,
VnmindfullUnmindfull both of that discordfull crew,
The which with speedie pace did after them pursew.
[31]
Who as they now approched nigh at hand,
Deeming them doughtie as they did appeare,
They sent that Squire afore, to vnderstandunderstand,
What mote they be: who viewing them more neare
Returned readie newes, that those same weare
Two of the prowest Knights in Faery lond;
And those two Ladies their two louerslovers deare,
Couragious Cambell, and stout Triamond,
With Canacee and Cambine linckt in louelylovely bond.
[32]
Whylome as antique stories tellen vsus,
Those two were foes the fellonest on ground,
And battell made the dreddest daungerous,
That euerever shrilling trumpet did resound;
Though now their acts be no where to be found,
As that renowmed Poet them compyled,
With warlike numbers and Heroicke sound,
Dan Chaucer, well of English vndefyledundefyled,
On Fames eternall beadroll worthie to be fyled.
[33]
But wicked Time that all good thoughts doth waste,
And workes of noblest wits to nought out weare,
That famous moniment hath quite defaste,
And robd the world of threasure endlesse deare,
The which mote hauehave enriched all vsus heare.
O cursed Eld the cankerworme of writs,
How may these rimes, so rude as doth appeare,
Hope to endure, sith workes of heauenlyheavenly wits
Are quite deuourddevourd, and brought to nought by little bits?
[34]
Then pardon, O most sacred happie spirit,
That I thy labours lost may thus reuiuerevive,
And steale from thee the meede of thy due merit,
That none durst euerever whilest thou wast aliuealive,
And being dead in vaine yet many striuestrive:
Ne dare I like, but through infusion sweete
Of thine owne spirit, which doth in me suruiuesurvive,
I follow here the footing of thy feete,
That with thy meaning so I may the rather meete.
[35]
Cambelloes sister was fayre Canacee,
That was the learnedst Ladie in her dayes,
Well seene in euerieeverie science that mote bee,
And eueryevery secret worke of natures wayes,
In wittie riddles, and in wise soothsayes,
In power of herbes, and tunes of beasts and burds;
And, that augmented all her other prayse,
She modest was in all her deedes and words,
And wondrous chast of life, yet lou’dlov’d of Knights &and Lords.
[36]
Full many Lords, and many Knights her louedloved,
Yet she to none of them her liking lent,
Ne euerever was with fond affection mouedmoved,
But rul’d her thoughts with goodly gouernementgovernement,
For dread of blame and honours blemishment;
And eke vntounto her lookes a law she made,
That none of them once out of order went,
But like to warie Centonels well stayd,
Still watcht on eueryevery side, of secret foes affrayd.
[37]
So much the more as she refusd to louelove,
So much the more she louedloved was and sought,
That oftentimes vnquietunquiet strife did mouemove
Amongst her louerslovers, and great quarrels wrought,
That oft for her in bloudie armes they fought.
Which whenas Cambell, that was stout and wise,
Perceiu’dPerceiv’d would breede great mischiefe, he bethought
How to preuentprevent the perill that mote rise,
And turne both him and her to honour in this wise.
[38]
One day, when all that troupe of warlike wooers
Assembled were, to weet whose she should bee,
All mightie men and dreadfull derring dooers,
(The harder it to make them well agree)
Amongst them all this end he did decree;
That of them all, which louelove to her did make,
They by consent should chose the stoutest three,
That with himselfe should combat for her sake,
And of them all the victour should his sister take.
[39]
Bold was the chalenge, as himselfe was bold,
And courage full of haughtie hardiment,
ApprouedApproved oft in perils manifold,
Which he atchieu’datchiev’d to his great ornament:
But yet his sisters skill vntounto him lent
Most confidence and hope of happie speed,
ConceiuedConceived by a ring, which she him sent,
That mongst the manie vertues, which we reed,
Had power to staunch al wounds, that mortally did bleed.
[40]
Well was that rings great vertue knowen to all,
That dread thereof, and his redoubted might
Did all that youthly rout so much appall,
That none of them durst vndertakeundertake the fight;
More wise they weend to make of louelove delight,
1596.bk4.IV.ii.40.6. Then: ThanThenThan life to hazard for faire Ladies looke,
And yet vncertaineuncertaine by such outward sight,
Though for her sake they all that perill tooke,
Whether she would them louelove, or in her liking brooke.
[41]
Amongst those knights there were three brethren bold,
Three bolder brethren neuernever were yborne,
Borne of one mother in one happie mold,
Borne at one burden in one happie morne,
Thrise happie mother, and thrise happie morne,
That bore three such, three such not to be fond;
Her name was Agape whose children werne
All three as one, the first hight Priamond,
The second Dyamond, the youngest Triamond.
[42]
Stout Priamond, but not so strong to strike,
Strong Diamond, but not so stout a knight,
But Triamond was stout and strong alike:
On horsebacke vsedused Triamond to fight,
And Priamond on foote had more delight,
But horse and foote knew Diamond to wield:
With curtaxe vsedused Diamond to smite,
And Triamond to handle speare and shield,
But speare and curtaxe both vsdusd Priamond in field.
[43]
These three did louelove each other dearely well,
And with so firme affection were allyde,
As if but one soule in them all did dwell,
Which did her powre into three parts diuydedivyde;
Like three faire branches budding farre and wide,
That from one roote deriu’dderiv’d their vitall sap:
And like that roote that doth her life diuidedivide,
Their mother was, and had full blessed hap,
These three so noble babes to bring forth at one clap.
[44]
Their mother was a Fay, and had the skill
Of secret things, and all the powres of nature,
Which she by art could vseuse vntounto her will,
And to her seruiceservice bind each liuingliving creature:
Through secret vnderstandingunderstanding of their feature.
Thereto she was right faire, when so her face
She list discouerdiscover, and of goodly stature;
But she as Fayes are wont, in priuieprivie place
Did spend her dayes, and lov’d in forests wyld to space.
[45]
There on a day a noble youthly knight
Seeking aduenturesadventures in the saluagesalvage wood,
Did by great fortune get of her the sight;
As she sate carelesse by a cristall flood,
Combing her golden lockes, as seemd her good:
And vnawaresunawares vponupon her laying hold,
That strouestrove in vaine him long to hauehave withstood,
Oppressed her, and there (as it is told)
Got these three louelylovely babes, that prov’d three chãpionschampions bold.
[46]
Which she with her long fostred in that wood,
Till that to ripenesse of mans state they grew:
Then shewing forth signes of their fathers blood,
They louedloved armes, and knighthood did ensew,
Seeking aduenturesadventures, where they anie knew.
Which when their mother saw, she gan to dout
Their safetie, least by searching daungers new,
And rash prouokingprovoking perils all about,
Their days mote be abridged through their corage stout.
[47]
Therefore desirous th’end of all their dayes
To know, and them t’enlarge with long extent,
By wondrous skill, and many hidden wayes,
To the three fatall sisters house she went.
Farre vnderunder ground from tract of liuingliving went,
Downe in the bottome of the deepe Abysse,
Where Demogorgon in dull darknesse pent,
Farre from the view of Gods and heauensheavens blis,
The hideous Chaos keepes, their dreadfull dwelling is.
[48]
There she them found, all sitting round about
The direfull distaffe standing in the mid,
And with vnweariedunwearied fingers drawing out
The lines of life, from liuingliving knowledge hid.
Sad Clotho held the rocke, the whiles the thrid
By griesly Lachesis was spun with paine,
That cruell Atropos eftsoones vndidundid,
With cursed knife cutting the twist in twaine:
Most wretched men, whose dayes depend on thrids so vaine.
[49]
She them saluting, there by them sate still,
Beholding how the thrids of life they span:
And when at last she had beheld her fill,
Trembling in heart, and looking pale and wan,
Her cause of comming she to tell began.
To whom fierce Atropos, Bold Fay, that durst
Come see the secret of the life of man,
Well worthie thou to be of IoueJove accurst,
And eke thy childrens thrids to be asunder burst.
[50]
Whereat she sore affrayd, yet her besought
To graunt her boone, and rigour to abate,
That she might see her childrẽschildrens thrids forth brought,
And know the measure of their vtmostutmost date,
To them ordained by eternall fate.
Which Clotho graunting, shewed her the same:
That when she saw, it did her much amate,
To see their thrids so thin, as spiders frame,
And eke so short, that seemd their ends out shortly came
[51]
She then began them humbly to intreate,
To draw them longer out, and better twine,
That so their liueslives might be prolonged late.
But Lachesis thereat gan to repine,
And sayd, fond dame that deem’st of things diuinedivine
As of humane, that they may altred bee,
And chaung’d at pleasure for those impes of thine.
Not so; for what the Fates do once decree,
Not all the gods can chaunge, nor IoueJove him self can free.
[52]
Then since (quoth she) the terme of each mans life
For nought may lessened nor enlarged bee,
Graunt this, that when ye shred with fatall knife
His line, which is the eldest of the three,
Which is of them the shortest, as I see,
Eftsoones his life may passe into the next;
And when the next shall likewise ended bee,
That both their liueslives may likewise be annext
VntoUnto the third, that his may so be trebly wext.
[53]
They graunted it; and then that carefull Fay
Departed thence with full contended mynd;
And comming home, in warlike fresh aray
Them found all three according to their kynd:
But vntounto them what destinie was assynd,,
Or how their liueslives were eekt, she did not tell;
But euermoreevermore, when she fit time could fynd,
She warned them to tend their safeties well,
And louelove each other deare, what euerever them befell.
[54]
So did they surely during all their dayes,
And neuernever discord did amongst them fall;
Which much augmented all their other praise.
And now t’increase affection naturall,
In louelove of Canacee they ioynedjoyned all:
VponUpon which ground this same great battell grew,
Great matter growing of beginning small;
The which for length I will not here pursew,
But rather will reseruereserve it for a Canto new.
