King Agramant oft moved, between the pair, Now here now there, to bring them to accord;
Now there now here, admonishing that pair, Like faithful brother and like righteous lord:
But when he found that neither would forbear, Deaf and rebellious to his royal word, Nor would consent that lady to forego, The cause of strife, in favour of his foe, CIV
As his best lore, at length the monarch said, And to obey his sentence both were fain;
That he who was by her preferred, should wed The beauteous daughter of King Stordilane:
And that what was established on his head Should not be changed, to either's loss or gain.
The compromise was liked on either side, Since either hoped she would for him decide.
