Thus have you seen these brother's shipped to Sea, Bound on their voyage to the holy Land, All bent to try their Fortune's in one Bark. Now to avoid all dilatory news, Which might withhold you from the Stories pith, And substance of the matter we intend: I must entreat your patience to forbear, While we do feast your eye, and starve your ear. For in dumb shows, which were they writ at large, Would ask a long and tedious circumstance: Their infant Fortune's I will soon express, And from the truth in no one point digress. Ye have seen the father of these four fair sons, Already gone his weary pilgrimage: Godfrey, Guy, Charles, and Eustace, pressed to sea To follow Robert Duke of Normandy. Imagine now ye see the air made thick With stormy tempests, that disturb the sea: And the four winds at war among themselves: And the weak barks wherein the brother's sail, Split on strange rocks, and they enforced to swim: To save their desperate lives: where what befell the ̄ Dispersed to several corners of the world, We will make bold to explain it in dumb Show: For from their Fortune's all our Scene must grow, Those Citizens you see were Bullonoyes, Kept under bondage of that tyrannous Earl, To whom the French King gave that ancient seat, Which to the wronged Pilgrim did belong. But in the height of his ambition, Godfrey, by Shipwreck thrown upon that Coast, Stirs up oppressed City to reuoult: And by his valour was y surper slain; The City from base bondage freed again. The men of Bulloigne, wondering what strong hand Had been the means of their deliverance, Besought him to make known his birth and state: Which Godfrey did. The people, glad to see Their natural Prince procure their liberty, Homage to him, create him Earl of Bulloig ; And reposs sse him in his father's seat. Where we will leave him having honour won; And now return unto the second son. As the French King did with his daughter walk By the Seaside: from far they might espy Oh e on a rafter float upon the waves, Who as he drew more near unto the shore, They might discern a man, though basely clad, Yet sparks of honour kindled in his eyes. Him sighed the beauteous Lady loves; And prays her father to receive him home: To which the King accords; and in his Court Makes him a great and special Officer. There leave we Guy a gallant Courtier proved, And of the beauteous Lady well beloved. Charles the third son, is by the winds and waves Born on a Plank as far as Italy, And lands joust at a lofty Mountains foot: Upon whose top a many outlawed Thieves, Bandetti, Bravoes, such as keep in Caves, Made their abode. This crew assails young Charles: Who in the bicke king st ikes their Captain dead. They wondering at his valour, and being now Without a Leader, humbly seek to him To be their Chieftain, and command their strength: Which at their carnest suit he undertakes. We leave him there, thinking his brother's drowned, Nor knowing yet his father there lies bound. Eustace, the youngest of the four, was cast Upon the coast of Ireland; and from thence He comes to travail to Jerusalem; Supposing his three brothers drowned by sea. Thus have you seen these four, that were but now All in one Fleet, a many thousand leagues Severed from one another: Guy in France, Godfrey in Bulloigne, Charl S in Italy, Eustace in Ireland amongst the Irish kerns. Yet Gentlemen, the self same wind and fortune That parted them, may bring them altogether. Their sister follows them with zealous feet: Be patient, ye will wonder when they meet. Four London Prentices will ere they die, Advance their towering fame above the sky; And win such glorious praise as never fades, Unto themselves and honour of their Trades. Grant them your wonted patience to proceed, And their keen swords shall make the Pagans bleed.
Plot summary
Plot — The Four Prentices of London
Deposed and banished by the King of France, the Earl of Bouillon flees to England, where he helped to put King William on the throne. Planning to end his life on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, he takes his leave of his four sons, who have found work as London apprentices. Dissatisfied by their jobs and itching for the military life, the four brothers join Robert of Normandy's army embarking on a crusade; their sister Bella Franca follows them in disguise. The army is struck by a storm at sea, and the brothers are separated, variously washed up in Bouillon, France, Italy, and Ireland, each believing the others to be dead. Godfrey frees the town of Bouillon from its usurping Spanish occupiers, and the people acclaim him their earl. Guy is spotted on a raft by the Princess of France, who falls in love with him and persuades her father to make him a courtier - a dangerous situation, since the King is the enemy of Guy's father and would execute him if he knew his true identity. Uninterested in love, Guy joins the army which the King is sending to the crusade, but the princess follows him disguised as a page. In Ireland, Eustace acquires a servant. In Italy, Charles is set on by banditti, but kills their captain and becomes their leader. He attempts to impose civility on them, and discovers that they have captured his father. Charles releases him, tells him of his brothers' death, and gives him money for his continuing pilgrimage. The banditti appointed to escort the old Earl try to rob and murder him, but Eustace and his Irish servant intervene in his defence. Now the divided family begins to meet up, but the mutual assumption of death at sea prevents them from recognizing one another. Charles wants Eustace to join the outlaws, and challenges him to a fight, wagering their purses; Bella Franca runs between them and stops the battle. Both are attracted to her, not realizing that she is their sister. Prince Tancred leads soldiers to dispose of the banditti, but Charles and Eustace persuade him to deploy his forces in the crusade instead. Since both brothers want to marry Bella Franca, Tancred takes her into his custody until the end of the war; she is attracted to him. Godfrey rejoins Duke Robert's troops and meets Guy, now in command of the French army. They quarrel over precedence, but finally agree to go side by side. The combined army marches into Tancred's territory, and he sends Eustace to order them out. Rather than see a bloody battle between fellow…
