O foolish faeries son, what fury mad

Hath thee incenst, to hast thy doefull fate?

Were it not better I that Lady had,

Then that thou hadst repented it too late?

Most senseless man he, that himselfe doth hate

To love another. Lo then for thine ayd

Here take thy lovers token on thy pate.[°]

So they two fight; the whiles the royall Mayd

Fledd farre away, of that proud Paynim sore afrayd.
