Vntill the damzell gan to wex more sound and strong.
Tho gan Sir Calidore him to aduize xii
Of his first quest, which he had long forlore,
Asham’d to thinke, how he that enterprize,
The which the Faery Queene had long afore
Bequeath’d to him, forslacked had so sore;

With foule dishonour him mote blot therefore;
Besides the losse of so much loos[595] and fame,
As through the world thereby should glorifie his name.
