1 Whom when the good Sir Guyon did behold, 2 His heart gan wax as stark as marble stone,

gan > did; began to wax > grow stark > rigid, incapable of movement

3 And his fresh blood did freeze with fearful cold, 4 That all his senses seemed bereft at one:

That > [So that] at one > at once, simultaneously

5 At last his mighty ghost began deep to groan,

ghost > spirit

6 As lion, grudging in his great disdain,

grudging > murmuring, grumbling; hence: growling disdain > indignation, anger

7 Mourns inwardly, and makes to himself moan; 8 Till ruth and frail affection did constrain

ruth > pity
