He now t’abhorre and loath her person had procured.

First gan he tell, how this that seem’d so faire xl

And royally arayd, Duessa hight

That false Duessa, which had wrought great care,

And mickle mischiefe vnto many a knight,

By her beguyled, and confounded quight:

But not for those she now in question came,

Though also those mote question’d be aright,

But for vyld treasons, and outrageous shame,

Which she against the dred Mercilla oft did frame.
