And forst the burden of their prize to stay.
They were an hundred knights of that array;
Of which th’one halfe vpon himselfe did set,
The other[270] stayd behind to gard the pray.
But he ere long the former fiftie bet;
And from the other[271] fiftie soone the prisoner fet.

Whom hauing quickly arm’d againe anew,
They both together ioyned might and maine,
To set afresh on all the other crew.
