It fortuned a noble warlike knight° By just occasion° to that forrest came, To seeke his kindred, and the lignage right, From whence he tooke his well deserved name: He had in armes abroad wonne muchell fame, And fild far lands with glorie of his might, Plaine, faithfull, true, and enimy of shame, And ever lov'd to fight for Ladies right: But in vaine glorious frayes he litle did delight.
