Excerpt from The British Poets, Vol. 5 of 100: Including Translations

Canto XI.

Prince Arthure overcomes the great

Gerioneo in fight:

Doth slay the Monster, and restore

Belge onto her right.

I.

It often fals, in course of common life,

That right long time is overborne of wrong

Through avarice, or powre, or guile, or strife,

That weakens her, and makes her party strong:

But Justice, though her dome she doe prolong,

Yet at the last she will her owne cause right:

As by sad Belge seemes; whose wrongs though long

She suffred, yet at length she did requight,

And sent redresse thereof by this brave Briton Knight.
