But weenedst thou what wight thee ouerthrew,
2 Much greater griefe and shamefuller regret
For thy hard fortune then thou wouldst renew,
4 That of a single damzell thou wert met
On equall plaine, and there so hard beset;
6 Euen the famous Britomart it was,
Whom straunge aduenture did from Britaine fet,
8 To seeke her louer (loue farre sought alas,)
Whose image she had seene in Venus looking glas.
