Frau Rosalinde rarely saw the twin sons of her daughter Isabella, who took the veil after her husband's death to pray for his sorely imperilled soul. The Knight Heideck, the uncle and faithful teacher of the boys, was unwilling to let them go to the city.
Frau Rosalinde had formerly often visited the matron to seek counsel, and had shown her, with embarrassing plainness, how willingly she admitted her superior ability. She disliked the old countess but with whom would not the self-reliant woman, conscious of her good intentions, have dared to cope?
He was twice attacked with the tender malady, and records, in glowing numbers, his passion for two mistresses. One he calls Rosalinde, and celebrates in the "Shepherd's Calendar"; the other, Elizabeth, to whom he was undoubtedly married, is the theme of admiration in his "Amoretti." Rosalinde was his early love; Elizabeth, the passion of his maturer years.

Both are of humble birth, Rosalinde being described in the "Shepherd's Calendar" as "the widow's daughter of the glen"; her low origin and present exalted position are frequently alluded to, her beauty, her haughtiness, and love of liberty.
True, the measures adopted by her friends seemed to have guarded her from the attacks of the old Countess Rotterbach; but Fran Rosalinde, since she had been allowed more freedom to move about than her mother, who had been confined to the upper story, felt like a boat drifting rudderless down the stream.
"She was a lady of great dignity, And lifted up to honorable place; Famous through all the land of Faërie: Though of mean parentage and kindred base, Yet decked with wondrous gifts of Nature's grace." "But she thereof grew proud and insolent, And scorned them all that lore unto her meant." "She was born free, not bound to any wight." Of Rosalinde we hear in "Colin Clout" that her ambition is
Every unprejudiced reader will admit, that in emblem, name, character; and appearance, John Florio and Menalcas are allegorically identical; and it follows, as a consequence, that Rosalinde, married to the same person as Rose Daniel, is one and the same with her anagrammatic synonyme, and that her sorrows and joys, arising out of the conduct of her husband, must have had the same conditions.
"Adieu, good Hobbinoll, that was so true; Tell Rosalinde her Colin bids adieu." It took him fourteen years surely a sufficient time! to recover from this disappointment; for he is in his forty-first year, when, in his Sixtieth Sonnet, he represents himself as having been then one year enamored of Elizabeth:
Stillness reigned in this chamber, and Els scarcely had occasion to dread much disturbance, for the countess had been strictly forbidden to enter the sufferer's room. Frau Rosalinde seemed to fear the sight of the helpless man, and the Sister of Charity was a strong, resolute woman, who welcomed Els with sincere cordiality, and promised Frau Christine to let no evil befall her.
