6 The knight at his great boldness wondered,
wondered > marvelled
7 And though he scorned his idle vanity,
idle > empty
8 Yet mildly him to purpose answered;
purpose > the point
9 For not to grow of naught he it conjectured.

Varlet, this place most dew to me I deeme,
2 Yielded by him, that held it forcibly.
But whence should come that harme, which thou doest seeme
4 To threat to him, that minds his chaunce t'abye?
Perdy (said he) here comes, and is hard by
6 A knight of wondrous powre, and great assay,
That neuer yet encountred enemy,
8 But did him deadly daunt, or fowle dismay;
Ne thou for better hope, if thou his presence stay.
