By this that straunger knight in presence came,
2 And goodly salued them; who nought againe
Him answered, as courtesie became,
4 But with sterne lookes, and stomachous disdaine,
Gaue signes of grudge and discontentment vaine:
6 Then turning to the Palmer, he gan spy
Where at his feete, with sorrowfull demaine
8 And deadly hew, an armed corse did lye,
In whose dead face he red great magnanimity.
