He him requested, as he was a knight,
To lend him day his better right to trie,
Or stay till he his armes, which were thereby,
Might lightly fetch. But he was fierce and whot[427],
Ne time would giue, nor any termes aby,
But at him flew, and with his speare him smot;
From which to thinke to saue himselfe, it booted not.
Meane while his Ladie, which this outrage saw, xx
Whilest they together for the quarrey stroue,
Into the couert did her selfe withdraw,
