For when the duke[351] was charged with my plaint,

Hee flat denyde that any part was true,

And claymde by armes to aunswere his attaynt,

And I by vse that warlyke[352] feates well knewe,

To his desire incontinently drewe:

Wherewith the king did seeme right well content,

As one that past not much with whome it went.
