At this time Pinheyro, who was already engaged in her Love, either to obtain its Reward, or because his Unkle did not Favour him as he expected, [Pinheyro murders his Unkle, and is kill'd by Salama.] or for both Reasons, contriv'd his Death. As he was going one Day to the Palace, to acquaint Quisayra that the Murder was already committed, Cachil happened than to come from a Fort to see his Mistress. He seeing Pinheyro coming out of her Apartment, drew his Campilan, or Cymiter, and tho' the Youth fought Manfully, and like a Lover, yet Cachil, who had the same Qualifications, and was Jealous over and above, at the first onset clove his Head, so furiously, that he dropt down dead of the Wound. Then proceeding as he had begun, he went in where Quisayra was, whom [He marries Quisayra.] he easily perswaded to be gon with him, and leaving the Palace full of Confusion, they Imbark'd in the Baroto, or small Boat that brought him. They Marry'd with the good liking of the King and Kingdome, and the Loss of those two Gentlemen's Lives. And since among the Portuguese Nation, as much Account is made of Honour gain'd, or lost in Love Affairs, as was formerly of Victories obtain'd in Greece, at the Olympick Games, the Vindication of these Lovers shall be left to the Management of those who are well skil'd in that Matter, to whom we refer our selves.
The Portugueses were much griev'd at this Disaster, as being Publick, and the King was so incens'd, that one of them having accidentally kill'd [A Portuguese hang'd.] a Horse he had a great Value for, he caus'd him to be Hang'd, without hearkning to any thing that could be said for him. This gain'd Cachil Mole so generally the Affections of all Men, that tho' Cachil Cota was Elder, and Son to the principal Queen, by them call'd Putriz, under colour that the latter was a Friend to the King of Ternate, and about to contract Affinity with him, the other gain'd the greater Party, which advanc'd him to Succeed in the Throne of Tydore, as we shall soon see.
