Let vgly shame and endlesse infamy

Colour thy name with foule reproaches rust.

Yet thou false Squire his fault shalt deare aby,

And with thy punishment his penance shalt supply.

The aged Dame him seeing so enraged, liv

Was dead with feare, nathlesse as neede required,

His flaming furie sought to haue assuaged

With sober words, that sufferance desired,

Till time the tryall of her truth expyred:

And euermore sought Britomart to cleare.
