+Whylest+ there the varlet stood, he saw from farre
2 An armed knight, that towards him fast ran,
He ran on foot, as if in lucklesse warre
4 His forlorne steed from him the victour wan;
He seemed breathlesse, hartlesse, faint, and wan,
6 And all his armour sprinckled was with bloud,
And soyld with durtie gore, that no man can
8 Discerne the hew thereof. He neuer stood,
But bent his hastie course towards the idle flood.
