2 That he would algates with Pyrochles fight,
algates > anyhow, by any means
3 And his redeemer challenged for his foe,
challenged for > demanded as, laid claim to as

wood > furious

engrasped be > [were grasped; grappled]
9 While Guyon, standing by, their uncouth strife does see.
uncouth > bizarre; unseemly
