Thus was the Marquesse invested, as it were, with a new blessednes, and
she continued in her ould constancy; onely admired by every one for her
patience and sufferings, and all aplauding their reconcilement, blessing
her, and the people proud they had such a lord to obey: especially
satisfied when the poore Janicola was advanced to the councell, and made
governor of his palace; wherein hee behaved himselfe so well that for
ten yeares hee still lived as he had beene bred, a courtier, and died
with the memory of a good report. Grisel lasted thirty yeares after him,
and all went to their graves in good time, the country renowned over the
world for their admirable government, and famosed for their
extraordinary wonder.
