So, with Perceveraunce, in my company,
Forth on the way we rode full merely
Over the hethe, tyll we sawe from farre
A royall castell ryght strongly fortified,
Bulwarkes about accustomed for warre;
On a craggy roche it was so edified,
Walled with gate so clerely purified,
To whiche we rode, and drewe nere and nere,
Till in our syght did openly appeare
A myghty gyaunt, xv. fote of length,
