By such good meanes he him discounselled,
2 From prosecuting his reuenging rage;
And eke the Prince like treaty handeled,
4 His wrathfull will with reason to asswage,
And laid the blame, not to his carriage,
6 But to his starting steed, that swaru'd asyde,
And to the ill purueyance of his page,
8 That had his furnitures not firmely tyde:
So is his angry courage fairely pacifyde.
