After that varlets flight, it was not long,
2 Ere on the plaine fast pricking Guyon spide
One in bright armes embatteiled full strong,
4 That as the Sunny beames do glaunce and glide
Vpon the trembling waue, so shined bright,
6 And round about him threw forth sparkling fire,
That seemd him to enflame on euery side:
8 His steed was bloudy red, and fomed ire,
When with the maistring spur he did him roughly stire.
