Besides them both, vpon the soiled gras
2 The dead corse of an armed knight was spred,
Whose armour all with bloud besprinckled was;
4 His ruddie lips did smile, and rosy red
Did paint his chearefull cheekes, yet being +ded,+
6 Seemd to haue beene a goodly personage,
Now in his freshest flowre of lustie hed,
8 Fit to inflame faire Lady with loues rage,
But that fiers fate did crop the blossome of his age.
