The King did send for Elenine [in haste,] but he was fled
Vnto the Earle his cosin whence he would not come:
He feared least he should haue lost his hated head;
The guilty heart conceau’s before the iustice of his dome,[836]
He wiste if once he went there needed him no toome,
Wherefore he it refusde and th’earle was discontent,
Who message sharpe againe vnto the King had sent,
[That he his cosin for to saue and beare him out was bent.]
