Which will her cause in battailous array

Against him iustifie, and proue her cleare

Of all those crimes, that he gainst her doth reare[371],

She death shall by[372]. Those tidings sad

Did much abash Sir Artegall to heare,

And grieued sore, that through his fault she had

Fallen into that Tyrants hand and vsage bad.

Then thus replide; Now sure and by my life, xli

Too much am I to blame[373] for that faire Maide,

That haue her drawne to all this troublous strife,
