Foolish old man, said then the Pagan wroth,
2 That weenest words or charmes may force withstond:
Soone shalt thou see, and then beleeue for troth,
4 That I can carue with this inchaunted brond
His Lords owne flesh. Therewith out of his hond
6 That vertuous steele he rudely snatcht away,
And Guyons shield about his +wrest+ he bond;
8 So readie dight, fierce battaile to assay,
And match his brother proud in battailous array.
