And ye the forlorne reliques of his powre,
2 His byting sword, and his deuouring speare,
Which haue endured many a dreadfull stowre,

And well could rule: now he hath left you heare,
6 To be the record of his ruefull losse,
And of my dolefull disauenturous deare:
8 O heauie record of the good Redcrosse,
Where haue +you+ left your Lord, that could so well you tosse?
