VI.
Sir Knight with anxious cares oppress'd,As little shar'd of peace or rest,
But pac'd with doubtful step and slow,
Now back and forth, now to and fro.
Care sat upon his wrinkled brow,
As deep revolving, when and how
He might chastise the sinful fry,
Who dar'd His majesty defy,
And brac'd in arms, defend their right,
Gainst such a true and valorous knight
