Against Duessa, damned by them all;

But by her tempred without griefe or gall,

Till strong constraint did her thereto enforce.

And yet euen then ruing her wilfull fall,

With more then needfull naturall remorse,

And yeelding the last honour to her wretched corse.

During all which, those knights continu’d there, v

Both doing and receiuing curtesies,

Of that great Ladie, who with goodly chere

Them entertayn’d, fit for their dignities,
