As she had seene that day a disauenterous sight.

She called forth to her a trusty mayd, xlviii

Whom she thought fittest for that businesse,

Her name was Clarin[289], and thus to her sayd;

Goe damzell quickly, doe thy selfe addresse,

To doe the message, which I shall expresse.

Goe thou vnto that stranger Faery Knight,

Who yesterday[290] droue vs to such distresse,

Tell, that to morrow I with him wil fight,

And try in equall field, whether hath greater might.
