THE ARGUMENT

OF THE EIGHTH CANTO.

The Knight and Squire's prodigious flight
To quit th' enchanted bow'r by night.
He plods to turn his amorous suit
Ta plea in law, and prosecute:
Repairs to counsel, to advise
'Bout managing the enterprise;

But first resolves to try by letter,
And one more fair address, to get her.

CANTO VIII.

WHO would believe what strange bugbears

Mankind creates itself, of fears

That spring like fern, that insect weed,
Equivocally, without seed;
