As dutie bound me, on the wings of speed

I hastned to the rescue, to vnsheath

My angrie sword, whose edge did threaten death:

A filiall loue to rescue her from harmes,

Both day and night did make me march in armes.

14.

Before the foes of my approch did heare,

Such expedition thither I did make,

That at their backes my ensignes did appeare:

At which dismai’d, their siege they did forsake,
