This gentle knight into so great distresse,

That death him did awaite in dayly wretchednesse.

And now it seemes, that she suborned hath xxxiv

This craftie messenger with letters vaine[426],

To worke new woe and improuided scath,

By breaking of the band betwixt vs twaine;

Wherein she vsed hath the practicke paine

Of this false footman, clokt with simplenesse,

Whom if ye please for to discouer plaine,

Ye shall him Archimago find, I ghesse,
