Palmer, (said he) no knight so rude, I weene,
2 As to doen outrage to a sleeping ghost:
Ne was there euer noble courage seene,
4 That in aduauntage would his puissance bost:
Honour is least, where oddes appeareth most.
6 May be, that better reason will +asswage,+
The rash reuengers heat. Words well dispost
8 Haue secret powre, t'appease inflamed rage:
If not, leaue vnto me thy knights last +patronage+.
