But he sad man, when he had long in drede
2 Awayted there for Britomarts returne,
Yet saw her not nor signe of her good speed,
4 His expectation to despaire did turne,
Misdeeming sure that her those flames did burne;
6 And therefore gan aduize with her old Squire,
Who her deare nourslings losse no lesse did mourne,
8 Thence to depart for further aide t'enquire:
Where let them wend at will, whilest here I doe respire.
1 But he, sad man, when he had long in dread 2 Awaited there for Britomart's return,
Awaited > Waited
3 Yet saw her not, nor sign of her good speed,
good speed > success
4 His expectation to despair did turn, 5 Misdeeming sure that her those flames did burn;
Misdeeming > Supposing erroneously
6 And therefore gan advise with her old squire,
gan advise > did consult
7 Who her dear nursling's loss no less did mourn, 8 Thence to depart, for further aid to inquire: 9 Where let them wend at will, whilst here I do respire.
