4 For he could well his glozing speeches frame

glozing > flattering; coaxing, wheedling

5 To such vain uses, that him best became:

vain > foolish; empty

6 But she thereto would lend but light regard,

thereto > to that, to those

Thus as they two of kindnesse treated long,
2 There them by chaunce encountred on the way
An armed knight, vpon a courser strong,
4 Whose trampling feet vpon the hollow lay
Seemed to thunder, and did nigh affray
6 That Capons courage: yet he looked grim,
And fain'd to cheare his Ladie in dismay;
8 Who seem'd for feare to quake in euery lim,
And her to saue from outrage, meekely prayed him.
