Said Guyon, Noble Lord, what meed so great,
2 Or grace of earthly Prince so soueraine,
But by your wondrous worth and warlike feat
4 Ye well may hope, and easely attaine?
But were your will, her sold to entertaine,
6 And numbred be mongst knights of Maydenhed,
Great guerdon, well I wote, should you remaine,
8 And in her fauour high be reckoned,
As Arthegall, and Sophy now beene honored.
