XX<br />

SIR PALAMEDE hath reasoned out<br />

Beyond the shadow of a doubt<br />

That this his Questing Beast is one;<br />

For were it Beasts, he must suppose<br />

An earlier Beast to father those.<br />

So all the tracks of herds that run<br />

Into the forest he discards,<br />

And only turns his dark regards<br />

On single prints, on marks unique.<br />

Sir Palamede doth now attain<br />

Unto a wide and grassy plain,<br />

Whereon he spies the thing to seek.<br />

Thereat he putteth spur to horse<br />

And runneth him a random course,<br />

The Beast a-questing aye before.<br />

But praise to good Sir Palamede!<br />

’Hath gotten him a fairy steed<br />

Alike for venery and for war,<br />

So that in little drawing near<br />

The quarry, lifteth up his spear<br />

To run him of his malice through.
