Her words preuaild: And then the learned leach
2 His cunning hand gan to his wounds to lay,
And all things else, the which his art did teach:

The mother of dread darknesse, and let stay

And backe returning tooke her wonted way,

In westerne waues his wearie wagon did recure.

The false _Duessa_ leauing noyous Night,
2 Returnd to stately pallace of dame Pride;
Where when she came, she found the Faery knight
4 Departed thence, albe his woundes wide
Not throughly heald, vnreadie were to ride.
6 Good cause he had to hasten thence away;
For on a day his wary Dwarfe had spide,
8 Where in a +dongeon+ deepe huge numbers lay
Of caytiue wretched thrals, that wayled night and day.
8 dongeon > dun
