Where Archimago said a felon strong

To many knights did daily worke disgrace;

But knight he now shall neuer more deface:

Good cause of mine excuse; that mote ye please

Haue vowd you to defend, now then your plaint appease.

His louely words her seemd due recompence xxx

Of all her passed paines: one louing howre

For many yeares of sorrow can dispence:
