Wherein were closd few drops of liquor pure,

Of wondrous worth, and vertue excellent,

That any wound could heale incontinent:

Which to requite, the Redcrosse knight him gaue

A booke, wherein his[306] Saueours testament

Was writ with golden letters rich and braue;

A worke of wondrous grace, and able[307] soules to saue.

Thus beene they parted, Arthur on his way xx

To seeke his loue, and th’other for to fight

With Vnaes foe, that all her realme did pray.
