Of all things to dissemble fouly may befall.

Yet let me you of courtesie request, lvii

(Said Burbon) to assist me now at need

Against these pesants, which haue me opprest,

And forced me to so infamous deed,

That yet my loue may from their hands be freed.

Sir Artegall, albe he earst did wyte

His wauering mind, yet to his aide agreed,

And buckling him eftsoones vnto the fight,

Did set vpon those troupes with all[380] his powre and might.
