He to him lept, in mind to reave his life,

And proudly said, Lo there the worthie meed

Of him that slew Sansfoy with bloudie knife;

Henceforth his ghost freed from repining strife,

In peace may passen over Lethe lake,[°]

When mourning altars purgd with enemies life,[°]

The blacke infernall Furies[°] doen aslake:

Life from Sansfoy thou tookst, Sansloy shall from thee take.
