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.

T. LODGE.
