The Faerie Queene · Book II · Canto 2 5 (2/2)

They bene ybrought; he quickly does him dight,

And lightly mounted passeth on his way;

Ne Ladies loves, ne sweete entreaties, might

Appease his heat, or hastie passage stay;

For he has vowd to beene avengd that day

(That day it selfe him seemed all too long)

On him, that did Pyrochles deare dismay:

So proudly pricketh on his courser strong,

And Atin ay him pricks with spurs of shame and wrong.
