At last she came vnto the place, where late
2 She left Sir Scudamour in great distresse,
Twixt dolour and despight halfe desperate,
4 Of his loues succour, of his owne redresse,
And of the hardie Britomarts successe:
6 There on the cold earth him now thrown she found,
In wilfull anguish, and dead heauinesse,
8 And to him cald; whose voices knowen sound
Soone as he heard, himself he reared light from ground.
