But fierce Pyrochles, lacking his owne sword,
2 The want thereof now greatly gan to plaine,
And Archimage besought, him that afford,
4 Which he had brought for Braggadocchio vaine.

Or ought that else your honour might maintaine,
8 But that this weapons powre I well haue kend,
To be contrarie to the worke, which ye intend.
