And by good fortune the plaine champion wonne:

Where looking all about, where he mote fynd

Some place of succour to content his mynd,

At length he heard vnder the forrests syde

A voice, that seemed of some woman kynd,

Which to her selfe lamenting loudly cryde,

And oft complayn’d of fate, and fortune oft defyde.

To whom approching, when as she perceiued xxvii

A stranger wight in place, her plaint she stayd,

As if she doubted to haue bene deceiued,
