Bradamant — grieved that maid of gentle kind

  Should from that castle wrongfully be sped,

  To bide the raging of the rain and wind,

  Where sheltering house was none, nor even shed —

  With reasons good, in wary speech combined,

  Persuades that lord; but mostly what she said

  On ending silences the knight; and he

  Allows the justice of that damsel's plea.
