But when he heard with whom I had to deale:

“Well done,” quoth he, “let hym go beate the bushe,

I and my men to the lurche line will steale,

And plucke the net euen at the present push,

And one of them we with decaye will crushe:

For he who doth the victor there remaine,

Shall neuer rest, till he hath dealt with twaine.”

11.

So I in vaine who had the victorie,

Within fewe dayes was forst againe to fight,
