But before occasions grew to this effect, the Emperour made a confederacy with _Bassano_, King of _Cappadocia_, that hee should descend with his forces; one way upon _Osbech_, and hee would assault him with his power on the other. But he could not so conveniently bring this to passe, because the Emperour would not yeeld to _Bassano_, in any unreasonable matter he demanded. Neverthelesse, when he understood what had happened to his Son (for whom his griefe was beyond all measure) he granted the King of _Cappadociaes_ request, solliciting him with all instancy, to be the more speedy in assailing _Osbech_. It was not long, before hee heard of this conjuration made against him; and therefore speedily mustered up all his forces, ere he would be encompassed by two such potent Kings, and marched on to meete the King of _Cappadocia_, leaving his Lady and Wife, (for her safety) at _Laiazzo_, in the custodie of a true and loyall servant of his. Within a short while after, he drew neere the Campe belonging to the King of _Cappadocia_, where boldly he gave him battell; chancing therein to be slaine, his Army broken and discomfited, by meanes whereof the King of _Cappadocia_ remaining Conquerour, marched on towards _Laiazzo_, every one yeelding him obeysance all the way as he went. In the meane space, the servant to _Osbech_, who was named _Antiochus_, and with whom the faire Lady was left in guard; although hee was aged, yet seeing shee was so extraordinarily beautifull, he fell in love with her, forgetting the sollemne vowes he had made to his Master. One happinesse hee had in this case to helpe him, namely, that he understood and could speake her language, a matter of no meane comfort to her; who constrainedly had lived divers yeeres together, in the state of a deafe or dumbe woman, because every where else they understood her not, nor shee them, but by shewes and signes.
