Whom thus recover'd by wise Patience

And trew Repentaunce they to Una brought:

Who joyous of his cured conscience,

Him dearely kist, and fairely eke besought

Himselfe to chearish, and consuming thought

To put away out of his carefull brest.

By this Charissa, late in child-bed brought,

Was woxen strong, and left her fruitfull nest;

To her faire Una brought this unacquainted guest.
