Which done, loden with honor and rich spoile,
They made returne vnto their natiue soile.
40.
Thus did these lords to their faire virgin queene,
Returne with glorie got from euery place,
Though at her greatnesse with malignant spleene,
Many leaud sonnes of enuie’s hellish race,
Did much repine, and sought her name’s disgrace:
For spitefull enuie neuer doth repine,
But where true vertue’s glorie most doth shine.
