When he these bitter byting words had red,
2 The tydings straunge did him abashed make,
That still he sate long time astonished
4 As in great muse, ne word to creature spake.
At last his solemne silence thus he brake,
6 With doubtfull eyes fast fixed on his guest;
Redoubted knight, that for mine onely sake
8 Thy life and honour late aduenturest,
Let nought be hid from me, that ought to be exprest.

What meane these bloudy vowes, and idle threats,
2 Throwne out from womanish impatient mind?
What heauens? what altars? what enraged heates
4 Here heaped vp with termes of loue vnkind,
My conscience cleare with guilty bands would bind?
6 High God be witnesse, that I guiltlesse ame.
But if your selfe, Sir knight, ye faultie find,
8 Or wrapped be in loues of former Dame,
With crime do not it couer, but disclose the same.
