Cant. VII.
the Faery Queene.
89
Most sencelesse man he, that himselfe doth hate,To loue another. Lo then for thine aydHere take thy louers token on thy pate.So they to fight; the whiles the royall MaydFledd farre away, of that proud Paynim sore afrayd
But that false Pilgrim, which that leasing told,Being in deed old Archimage, did stayIn secret shadow, all this to behold,And much reioyced in their bloody fray:But when he saw the Damsell passe awayHe left his stond, and her pursewd apace,In hope to bring her to her last decay.But for to tell her lamentable cace,And eke this battels end, will need another place.
Cant. VII.
_-_border.png)
The Redcrosse knight is captiue madeBy Gyaunt proud opprest,Prince Arthure meets with Una greatly with those newes distrest.
What man so wise, what earthly witt so ware,As to discry the crafty cunning traine,By which deceipt doth maske in visour faire,And cast her coulours died deepe in graine,To seeme like truth, whose shape she well can faine,And fitting gestures to her purpose frame;The guiltlesse man with guile to entertaine?Great maistresse of her art was that false Dame,The false Duessa, cloked with Fidessaes name.
