So bode his hour, and soon the chance he sought
Came, like the breath of summer, to his soul;
For flying child and matron tidings brought
That the arch-ravisher was levying toll,
With gonfalons advanced, all flame-enwrought,
Their beauteous city, Excester, his goal;
And with him came a press of arméd knights,
Whose glittering plumes the sun of May bedights.
