SIR PALAMEDE is come anon<br />

Into a blue delicious bay.<br />

A mountain towers <strong>the</strong>reupon,<br />

Wherein some fiend of ages gone<br />

Is whelmed by God, yet from his breast<br />

Spits up <strong>the</strong> flame, and ashes grey.<br />

Hereby Sir Palamede his quest<br />

Pursues withouten let or rest.<br />

Seeing <strong>the</strong> evil mountain be,<br />

Remembering all his evil years,<br />

He knows <strong>the</strong> Questing Beast runs free—<br />

Author of Evil, <strong>the</strong>n, is he!<br />

Whereat immediate resounds<br />

<strong>The</strong> noise he hath sought so long: appears<br />

<strong>The</strong>re quest a thirty couple hounds<br />

Within its belly as it bounds.<br />

Lifting his eyes, he sees at last<br />

<strong>The</strong> beast he seeks: 'tis like an hart.<br />

Ever it courseth far and fast.<br />

Sir Palamede is sore aghast,<br />
