As for Cimon and his companions, their lives were granted them, in consideration of the liberty given by them to the young Rhodians the day before, — albeit Pasimondas used his utmost endeavor to procure them to be put to death, — and they were condemned to perpetual prison, wherein, as may well be believed, they abode woebegone and without hope of any re- lief. However, whilst Pasimondas, as most he might, hastened 34 TALES FROM BOCCACCIO the preparations for his coining nuptials, fortune as i...f repent- ing her of the sudden injury done to Cimon, brought about a new circumstance for his deliverance, the which was on this wise. Pasimondas had a brother called Ormisdas, less in years, but not in merit, than himself, who had been long in treaty for the hand of a fair and noble damsel of the city, hy name Cassandra, whom Lysimachus ardently loved, and the match had sundry times been broken off by divers untoward acci- dents. Now Pasimondas, being about to celebrate his own nuptials with the utmost splendor, bethought himself that it were excellently well done if he could procure Ormisdas like- wise to take wife on the same occasion, not to resort afresh to expense and festival making.
