Which seeing good Sir Guyon, deare besought
2 The Prince of grace, to let him runne that turne.
He graunted: then the Faery quickly raught
4 His poinant speare, and sharpely gan to spurne
His fomy steed, whose fierie feete did burne
6 The verdant grasse, as he thereon did tread;
Ne did the other backe his foot returne,
8 But fiercely forward came withouten dread,
And bent his dreadfull speare against the others head.
