Of doughty knights, whom Faery land did raise,
That noble order[°] hight of Maidenhed,
Forthwith to court of Gloriane[°] I sped
Of Gloriane great Queene of glory bright,
Whose Kingdomes seat Cleopolis[°] is red,
There to obtaine some such redoubted knight,
The Parents deare from tyrants powre deliver might.
