Their beuers bright, each other for to greete;

Goodly comportance each to other beare,

And entertaine themselues with court’sies meet.

Then said the Redcrosse knight, Now mote I weet,

Sir Guyon, why with so fierce saliaunce,

And fell intent ye did at earst me meet;

For sith I know your goodly gouernaunce,

Great cause, I weene, you guided, or some vncouth chaunce.

Certes (said he) well mote I shame to tell xxx

The fond encheason, that me hither led.
