XLIX

Well hoped I, and faire beginnings had,

That he my captive languor[°] should redeeme,

Till all unweeting, an Enchaunter bad

His sence abusd, and made him to misdeeme

My loyalty,[°] not such as it did seeme;

That rather death desire, then such despight.

Be judge ye heavens, that all things right esteeme,

How I him lov'd, and love with all my might,

So thought I eke of him, and thinke I thought aright.
