Madame, if you would compare the state of Cynthia with your own, and the height of Endymion his thoughts, with the meanenesse of your fortune, you would rather yield then contend, being between you and her no comparison, and rather wonder then rage at the greatness of his mind, being affected with a thing more then mortal. But know you not fair Lady, that Cynthia governeth all things? Your grapes would be but dry husks, your Corn but chaff, and all your virtues vain, were it not Cynthia that preserveth the one in the bud, and nourishes the other in the blade, and by her influence both comforts all things, and by her autho ritie commandeth all creatures; Suffer then Endymion to follow his affections, though to obtain her be im possible, and let him flatter himself in his own ima ginations, because they are immortal. A strange practice, if it be possible. A revenge incredible, and if it may be, vnna turall. When this is done what then, shall it conti nue till his death, or shall he dote for ever in this de light? Why if this be not the end, all the rest is to no end. Affection that is bred by enchantment, is Like a flower that is wrought in silk, in colour and form most Like, but nothing at all in substance or savour. Well, use your own will, but you shall find that love got with witchcraft, is as unpleasant, as fish, taken with medicines unwholesome. Then about it. Poor Endymion, what traps are laid for thee, because thou honourest one that all the world wondereth at. And what plots are cast to make thee unfortunate, that studiest of all men to be the faith fullest. Use your discretion, I will in this case, neither give counsel nor consent, for there cannot be a thing more monstrous, then to force affection by sorcery, nei there do I imagine any thing more impossible. Ah Endymion, none so joyful as Floscula, of thy restoring. Endymion, I rejoice to see thee in thy former estate. No, but with his virtue. Corsites, I would Tellus saw your amiable face. Oh Endymion, could spite it self devise a mischief so monstrous as to make thee dead with life, and living being altogether dead? Where others number their years, their hours, their minutes, and step to age by stairs, thou only hast thy years and times in a cluster, being old before thou remembrest thou wast young. I were blessed if I might have him recovered.
Plot summary
Plot — Endymion, the Man in the Moon
Endymion is obsessed with his love for GyHEHI, the moon, and neglects Méllisj who is infatuated with him. She plots to force him to love her, but the enchantress Dipsas is unable to induce love magically. She can, however, make Endymion sleep away his youth, and, with Bag@a’s assistance, casts a spell to that effect. Meanwhile the comic braggart Sir GpHaS falls in love with Dipsas and sleeps too. When Tellus is rude about Endymion, Cynthia banishes her to weave in a desert castle. There she uses her feminine attractiveness to induce her keeper, GGESITES, to move Endymion from where he sleeps, but he is unable to lift the sleeping body. He is pinched asleep by fairies, who magically spot his face and hands. S@mielé is sentenced to a year’s silence as punishment for her spiteful speaking. Cynthia sends courtiers around the world in search of a remedy for Endymion, but the wise men who come are unable to help. However, Eiimenideés finds a magic fountain which will supply any wished-for remedy ifa true lover weeps into it and sees the bottom. Eumenides passes the fidelity test and has to choose whether to satisfy his unrequited love for Semele or wake up Endymion. He chooses Endymion, and is shown in a cryptic prophecy that the sleeper will wake when Cynthia kisses him. It works: Endymion awakes, now an old man, and tells his dreams. Sir Tophas also awakes, seemingly more youthful. Neither gets the girl: Cynthia is chaste and unattainable, while Dipsas turns out to be married to G@fon, the keeper of the magic fountain, who has returned to court with Eumenides. The truth about Endymion’s long sleep emerges after Bagoa reveals the spell; in reprisal, Dipsas turns her into a tree. Tellus is questioned and admits her part in the affair. Cynthia restores Endymion’s youth and learns of his love for her, and of Eumenides’ for Semele. Semele’s initial silence is taken to indicate consent, but when she speaks, Cynthia sentences her to lose her tongue. Eumenides’ offer of his own tongue instead convinces Semele of his sincerity, and she accepts him. Corsites and Tellus are also paired off, and Dipsas, initially sentenced to banishment among the wild beasts, is remitted to the custody of her husband. At the request of Sir Tophas, Cynthia also releases Bagoa from the tree.
