But if of daunger which hereby doth dwell,
2 And +homebred euill ye+ desire to heare,
Of a straunge man I can you tidings tell,
4 That wasteth all this countrey farre and neare.
Of such (said he) I chiefly do inquere,
6 And shall +you+ well reward to shew the place,
In which that wicked wight his dayes doth weare:
8 For to all knighthood it is foule disgrace,
That such a cursed creature liues so long a space.
2 homebred euill ye > homebred euill euill ye 1596 6 you > thee 1590; "you" is the more courteous form; cf. 102.22:5, but also 107.48:9
1 "But if of danger, which hereby does dwell, 2 And homebred evil you desire to hear, 3 Of a strange man I can you tidings tell, 4 That wastes all this country, far and near." 5 "Of such," said he, "I chiefly do inquire, 6 And shall you well reward to show the place 7 In which that wicked wight his days does wear:
wight > being, person wear > spend
8 For to all knighthood it is foul disgrace 9 That such a cursed creature lives so long a space."

Far hence (quoth he) in wastfull wildernesse
2 His dwelling is, by which no liuing wight
May euer passe, but thorough great distresse.
4 Now (sayd the Lady) draweth toward night,
And well I wote, that of your later fight
6 Ye all +for wearied+ be: for what so strong,
But wanting rest will also want of might?
8 The Sunne that measures heauen all day long,
At night doth baite his steedes the Ocean waues emong.
6 for wearied > forwearied 1590, 1609
1 "Far hence" quoth he, "in wasteful wilderness
wasteful > desolate
