|
Arming the Knight |
|
|
There rode into the city a fair lady |
|
|
Rushing at his foe |
|
|
At last they chanced to meet an old man |
|
|
"The Lady Una has left you!" |
|
|
Sleeping quietly in her bower |
|
|
The two knights levelled their spears and rushed at each other |
|
|
When she slept, he kept watch |
|
|
He was afraid to go too near |
|
|
Tearing off his helmet |
|
|
With his sword he struck the lion |
|
|
They saw in front of them a grand and beautiful building |
|
|
|
|
|
High above all sat the Queen |
|
|
The coach was drawn by an ugly and ill-matched team |
|
|
Duessa stole secretly to the lodging of the pagan knight |
|
|
A poor, simple pilgrim |
|
|
The Knight tried to seize his weapons |
|
|
The Prince carried him out of the castle |
|
|
They saw a knight galloping towards them |
|
|
They came to the place where Despair had his dwelling |
|
|
The third daughter, whose name was Love |
|
|
It was called "The City of the Great King" |
|
|
The Red Cross Knight and Una were betrothed |
|
|
Sir Guyon and the Black Palmer |
|
|
He saw marching to meet him a noble Knight |
|
|
A beautiful lady sat alone, weeping bitterly |
|
|
An end to all her sorrow |
|
|
They came to a Castle on a rock near the sea |
|
|
"Yield thyself my captive!" |
|
|
A savage man beating a handsome youth |
|
|
"There is now coming a knight of wondrous power". |
|
|
"Lady, you have not done right to mislead me like this |
|
|
He began with trembling hands to pour them through a hole into the earth |
|
|
"Behold what living eye has never seen before" |
|
|
Watched over by a beautiful angel |
|
|
The Knights soon drove them into confusion |
|
|
The ferryman had to put forth all his strength and skill |
|
|
A pack of wild beasts rushed forward |
|
|
Acrasia tried to set herself free |
|
|
Disguising themselves in poor clothes |
|
|
Hurled from his horse |
|
|
Britomart saw six knights |
|
|
One of them shot a keen arrow at her |
|
|
|
|
|
Britomart looked well at the figure of this Knight |
|
|
Deep in some work of wonder |
|
|
Glaucé, taking down the armour, dressed her in it |
|
|
The valiant stranger was a beautiful maiden |
|
|
The flames parted on either side |
|
|
He rode on a ravenous lion |
|
|
Fastened to a brazen pillar |
|
|
They presently saw two knights in armour |
|
|
Feeding on the dead body of a milk-white palfrey |
|
|
Both champions were felled to the ground |
|
|
Smote him sorely on the visor |
|
|
Britomart showed her lovely Amoret |
|
|
They heard the sound of many iron hammers |
|
|
Threatening to strike |
|
|
At last she was obliged to leave him |
|
|
The rescue of Amoret |
|
|
A mighty man, riding on a dromedary |
|
|
The Giant's daughter came one day in glee to the prison |
|
|
He found Pœana playing on a rote |
|
|
The Saracen's Bridge |
|
|
Wild beasts ... wrongfully oppressing others of their own kind |
|
|
Sir Artegall gripped him fast by his iron collar |
|
|
They beheld a giant on a rock, holding a pair of scales |
|
|
Straightway the enchanted damsel vanished into nothing |
|
|
He scourged him out of the court |
|
|
"I helped to save her from the jaws of death" |
|
|
In the midst of them be saw a Knight pinioned |
|
|
He was dazzled with astonishment |
|
|
She came to a window opening to the west |
|
|
In the temple of Isis |
|
|
The Sultan's horses, like hungry hounds, cruelly chased him |
|
|
The noise of her weeping speedily brought forth the villain |
|
|
|
|
|
Artegall, with his sword Crysaor, swiftly cut off his head |
|
|
Sir Calidore and the shepherds |
|
|
A comely Squire, bound band and foot to a tree |
|
|
The Knight invited him to sit down beside them |
|
|
He saw seated on a little hillock a beautiful maiden |
|
|
The brigands made search to see who was slain |
|
|
He threw his shield on him, and pinned him to the ground |
