He would haue backe retyred from that sight,

That was to him on earth the deadliest despight.

But that same knight would not once let him start, xxi

But plainely gan to him declare the case

Of all his mischiefe, and late lucklesse smart;

How both he and his fellow there in place

Were vanquished, and put to foule disgrace,

And how that he in lieu of life him lent,

Had vow’d vnto the victor, him to trace

And follow through the world, where so he went,
