rown, he sent for Alinda and Rosalynde to the
court, Alinda being very passionate for the death of her father, yet
brooking it with the more patience, in that she was contented with the
welfare of her Saladyne.
Well, as soon as they were come to Paris, Gerismond made a royal feast
for the peers and lords of his land, which continued thirty days, in
which time summoning a parliament, by the consent of his nobles he
created Rosader heir apparent to the kingdom; he restored Saladyne to
all his father's land and gave him the Dukedom of Nameurs; he made
Fernandyne principal secretary to himself; and that fortune might
every way seem frolic, he made Montanus lord over all the forest of
Arden, Adam Spencer Captain of the King's Guard, and Corydon master of
Alinda's flocks.

Here, gentlemen, may you see in Euphues' Golden Legacy, that such as
neglect their fathers' precepts, incur much prejudice; that division
in nature, as it is a blemish in nurture, so 'tis a breach of good
fortunes; that virtue is not measured by birth but by action; that
younger brethren, though inferior in years, yet may be superior to
honors; that concord is the sweetest conclusion, and amity betwixt
brothers more forceable than fortune. If you gather any fruits by this
Legacy, speak well of Euphues for writing it, and me for fetching it.
If you grace me with that favor, you encourage me to be more forward;
and as soon as I have overlooked my labors, expect the Sailor's
Calendar.
