To whom the Infant thus, Faire Sir, what need lvi Good turnes be counted, as a seruile bond, To bind their doers, to receiue their meede? Are not all knights by oath bound, to withstond Oppressours powre by armes and puissant hond? Suffise, that I haue done my dew in place. So goodly purpose they together fond, Of kindnesse and of curteous aggrace; The whiles false _Archimage_ and _Atin_ fled apace.

Behold, who list, both one and other in this place. After the Paynim brethren conquer’d were, ii The _Briton_ Prince recou’ring his stolne sword, And _Guyon_ his lost shield, they both yfere Forth passed on their way in faire accord, Till him the Prince with gentle court did bord; Sir knight, mote I of you this curt’sie read, To weet why on your shield so goodly scord Beare ye the picture of that Ladies head? Full liuely is the semblaunt, though the substance dead.
