Straunge sort of fight, three valiaunt knights to see
2 Three combats ioyne in one, and to darraine
A triple warre with triple enmitee,
4 All for their Ladies froward loue to gaine,
Which gotten was but hate. So loue does raine
6 In stoutest minds, and maketh monstrous warre;
He maketh warre, he maketh peace againe,
8 And yet his peace is but continuall iarre:
O miserable men, that to him subiect arre.
