When I was gone, soone after me she sent
These two false Knights, whom there ye lying see,
To be by them dishonoured and shent:
But thankt be God, and your good hardiment,
They haue the price of their owne folly payd.

And to those knights, for their so noble ayd,
Her selfe most gratefull shew’d, and heaped thanks repayd.
But they now hauing throughly heard, and seene xxiv
Al those great wrongs, the which that mayd complained[326]
