uragement to the English; until Colbran in the end
growing faint, Guy brought the Giant to the ground. Upon which the
English all shouted with so much joy, that the welkin rang again. After
this battle the Danes retired back again to their own country.

King Athelstan sent for this Champion to honour him; but Guy refused
honours, saying, "My Liege, I am a mortal man, and have set the vain
world at defiance." But at the King's earnest request, on promise of
concealment, Guy discovered himself to him; which rejoiced Athelstan's
heart, and he embraced his worthy Champion. But Guy took leave of his
Sovereign, and went to seek a solitary cave, wherein to spend the
remainder of his life. From time to time he repaired to Warwick Castle,
and received alms at the hands of his dear Lady, who showed more bounty
to pilgrims than any lady in the land besides.

At length finding his hour draw nigh, he sent a messenger to Felice,
with a gold ring, at the sight of which token she hastened to her Lord.
And Guy soon after died in the arms of his beloved Felice, who, having
survived him only fifteen days, was buried in the same grave.

_Now is the Story brought to an end of Guy the bold Baron of price, and
of the fair maid Felice._
