9 And now made better speed, to escape his feared foe.

It was not Satyrane, whom he did feare,
2 But Britomart the flowre of chastity;
For he the powre of chast hands might not beare,
4 But alwayes did their dread encounter fly:
And now so fast his feet he did apply,
6 That he has gotten to a forrest neare,
Where he is shrowded in security.
8 The wood they enter, and search euery where,
They searched diuersely, so both diuided were.
1 It was not Satyrane whom he did fear, 2 But Britomart, the flower of chastity; 3 For he the power of chaste hands might not bear,
might > could
4 But always did their dread encounter fly:
fly > flee
5 And now so fast his feet he did apply 6 That he has gotten to a forest near, 7 Where he is shrouded in security.
shrouded > hidden; sheltered
8 The wood they enter, and search everywhere; 9 They searched diversely: so both divided were.
