greedily > eagerly

5 At last in vain was forced to turn his flight, 6 And tell the idle tidings to his dame:

idle > empty, futile

7 Yet, to avenge his devilish despite,

despite > rage, malice

8 He set upon her palfrey tired lame,

lame > [and lame]

9 And slew him cruelly, ere any rescue came.

And after hauing him embowelled,
2 To fill his +hellish+ gorge, it chaunst a knight
To passe that way, as forth he trauelled;
4 It was a goodly Swaine, and of great might,
As euer man that bloudy field did fight;
6 But in vaine sheows, that wont yong knights bewitch,
And courtly seruices tooke no delight,
8 But rather ioyd to be, then seemen sich:
For both to be and seeme to him was labour lich.
