_Sim._ He loves you well that holds his life of you. [_The_ Second Knight _passes_. Who is the second that presents himself? _Thai._ A prince of Macedon, my royal father; And the device he bears upon his shield Is an arm’d knight that’s conquer’d by a lady; The motto thus, in Spanish, ‘Piu por dulzura que por fuerza.’ [_The_ Third Knight _passes_. _Sim._ And what’s the third? _Thai._ The third of Antioch; And his device, a wreath of chivalry; The word, ‘Me pompæ provexit apex.’ [_The_ Fourth Knight _passes_. _Sim._ What is the fourth? _Thai._ A burning torch that’s turned upside down; The word, ‘Quod me alit, me extinguit.’ _Sim._ Which shows that beauty hath his power and will, Which can as well inflame as it can kill. [_The_ Fifth Knight _passes_. _Thai._ The fifth, an hand environed with clouds, Holding out gold that’s by the touchstone tried; The motto thus, ‘Sic spectanda fides.’ [_The_ Sixth Knight _passes_. _Sim._ And what’s The sixth and last, the which the knight himself With such a graceful courtesy deliver’d? _Thai._ He seems to be a stranger; but his present is A wither’d branch, that’s only green at top; The motto, ‘In hac spe vivo.’ _Sim._ A pretty moral; From the dejected state wherein he is, He hopes by you his fortunes yet may flourish.”
