THe famous Briton Prince and Faerie knight,
2 After long wayes and perilous paines endured,
Hauing their wearie limbes to perfect plight
4 Restord, and sory wounds right well recured,
Of the faire Alma greatly were procured,
6 To make there lenger soiourne and abode;
But when thereto they might not be allured,
8 From seeking praise, and deeds of armes abrode,
They courteous conge tooke, and forth together yode.
