The Squire arriuing, fiercely in his armes
2 Snatcht first the one, and then the other Iade,
His chiefest lets and authors of his harmes,
4 And them perforce withheld with threatned blade,
Least that his Lord they should behind inuade;
6 The whiles the Prince prickt with reprochfull shame,
As one awakt out of long slombring shade,
8 Reuiuing thought of glorie and of fame,
Vnited all his powres to purge himselfe from blame.

Like as a fire, the which in hollow caue
2 Hath long bene vnderkept, and downe supprest,
With murmurous disdaine doth inly raue,

At last breakes forth with furious +vnrest+,

8 It now deuoures with flames and scorching heat,
And carries into smoake with rage and horror great.
