In this great passion of vnwonted lust,
2 Or wonted feare of doing ought amis,
He +started+ vp, as seeming to +mistrust,+
4 Some secret ill, or hidden foe of his:
Lo there before his face his Lady is,
6 Vnder +blacke+ stole hyding her bayted hooke,
And as halfe blushing offred him to kis,
8 With gentle blandishment and louely looke,
Most like that virgin true, which for her knight him took.
