Not that great Champion of the antique world,
2 Whom famous Poetes verse so much doth +vaunt+,
And hath for twelue huge labours high extold,
4 So many furies and sharpe fits did haunt,
When him the poysoned garment did enchaunt
6 With Centaures bloud, and bloudie verses charm'd,
As did this knight twelue thousand dolours daunt,
8 Whom fyrie steele now burnt, that earst him arm'd,
That erst him goodly arm'd, now most of all him harm'd.
