Which alwayes of his paines he made the chiefest meed.
But Britomart kept on her former course, v
Ne euer dofte her armes, but all the way
Grew pensiue through that amorous discourse,
By which the Redcrosse knight did earst display
Her louers shape, and cheualrous aray;
A thousand thoughts she fashioned in her mind,
And in her feigning fancie did pourtray
Him such, as fittest she[935] for loue could find,
Wise, warlike, personable, curteous, and kind.
