Of that same Ladie, whether what he spoke,

Were soothly so, and that th’vnrighteous ire

Of her owne knight, had giuen him his owne due hire.

Of all which, when as she could nought deny, xiv

But cleard that stripling of th’imputed blame,

Sayd[423] then Sir Calidore; Neither[424] will I

Him charge with guilt, but rather doe quite clame:

For what he spake, for you he spake it, Dame:

And what he did, he did him selfe to saue:

Against both which that knight wrought knightlesse shame.
