That to delight the Ladies, who did long to see some Court-like pastime, the Lord _Turbashaw_ did defie any Captain, that had the command of a Company, who durst Combate with him for his Head: The matter being discussed, it was accepted, but so many Questions grew for the undertaking, it was decided by Lots, which fell upon Captain _Smith,_ before spoken of. {MN} Truce being made for that time, the Rampires all beset with fair Dames, and Men in Arms, the _Christians_ in _Battalia; Turbashaw_ with a noise of Haut-boys entred the Field well mounted and armed; on his shoulders were fixed a pair of great Wings, compacted of Eagles Feathers, within a ridge of Silver, richly garnished with Gold and precious Stones, a _Janizary_ before him, bearing his Lance, on each side another leading his Horse; where long he stayed not, ere _Smith_ with a noise of Trumpets, only a Page bearing his Lance, passing by him with a courteous Salute, took his Ground with such good success, that at the sound of the charge, he passed the _Turk_ thorow the sight of his Beaver, Face, Head and all, that he fell dead to the Ground, where alighting and unbracing his Helmet, cut off his Head, and the _Turks_ took his Body; and so returned without any hurt at all. The Head he presented to the Lord _Moyses,_ the General, who kindly accepted it, and with joy to the whole Army he was generally welcomed. * * * * * {MN} _Three single combates._ The Death of this Captain so swelled in the Heart of one _Grualgo,_ his vowed Friend, as rather inraged with madness than choler, he directed a particular challenge to the Conqueror, to regain his Friends Head, or Idle his own, with his Horse and Armour for advantage, which according to his desire, was the next day undertaken: as before upon the sound of the Trumpets, their Lances flew in pieces upon a clear Passage, but the _Turk,_ was near unhorsed. Their Pistols was the next, which marked _Smith_ upon the Placard; but the next shot the _Turk,_ was so Wounded in the left Arm, that being not able to rule his Horse, and defend himself, he was thrown to the ground, and so bruised with the fall, that he lost his Head, as his Friend before him, with his Horse and Armour; but his Body, and his rich Apparel were sent back to the Town. Every day the _Turks_ made some Sallies, but few Skirmishes would they endure to any purpose. Our Works and Approaches being not yet advanced to that heighth and effect, which was of necessity to be performed; to delude time, _Smith_ with so many incontradictible perswading Reasons, obtained leave, that the Ladies might know he was not so much enamoured of their Servants Heads; but if any _Turk,_ of their rank would come to the place of Combate to redeem them, should have his also upon the like conditions, if he could win it.
