Vprose Sir Guyon, in bright armour clad,

And to his purposd iourney him prepar’d:

With him the Palmer eke in habit sad,

Him selfe addrest to that aduenture hard:

So to the riuers side they both together far’d.

Where them awaited ready at the ford iv

The Ferriman, as Alma had behight,

With his well rigged boate: They go abord,

And he[805] eftsoones gan launch his barke forthright.

Ere long they rowed were quite out of sight,
