Whose other wing, now made vnmeete for flight,

Was lately broken by some fortune ill;

The foolish Kyte, led with licentious will,

Doth beat vpon the gentle bird in vaine,

With many idle stoups her troubling still:

Euen so did Radigund with bootlesse paine

Annoy this noble Knight, and sorely him constraine.

Nought could he do, but shun the dred despight xvi

Of her fierce wrath, and backward still retyre,

And with his single shield, well as he might,
