PRESENTATION
Canto I
Errore
A Gentle Knight was pricking on the plaine,
Y cladd in mightie armes and siluer shielde,
Wherein old dints of deepe wounds did remaine,
The cruell markes of many a bloudy fielde;
Yet armes till that time did he neuer wield:
His angry steede did chide his foming bitt,
As much disdayning to the curbe to yield:
Full iolly knight he seemd, and faire did sitt,
As one for knightly giusts and fierce encounters fitt.
But on his brest a bloudie Crosse he bore,
The deare remembrance of his dying Lord,
For whose sweete sake that glorious badge he wore,
And dead as liuing euer him ador'd:
Vpon his shield the like was also scor'd,
For soueraine hope, which in his helpe he had:
Right faithfull true he was in deede and word,
But of his cheere did seeme too solemne sad;
Yet nothing did he dread, but euer was ydrad.
Book Two temperance
Book 2 follows Guyon, a knight who represents the virtue of temperance, or moderation. Guyon hopes to conquer Acrasia, an enchantress who lures men with the indulgent pleasures in her Bower of Bliss. Guyon and his assistant, the wise Palmer, teach lessons of temperance to people they meet on the way. Though Guyon is led by Mammon (a reference to the worship and love of money) into the underworld, he resists, finds his way back from hell, and survives. Guyon and Arthur rest at the House of Temperance. There Arthur reads a chronicle of British history and Guyon learns more about the history of Faery land.
Book 3: chastity
Book 3 introduces Britomart, a female knight who represents the virtue of chastity or sexual abstinence and devotion to a lover. Britomart has fallen in love with the knight Artegall after seeing him in the wizard Merlin's magic mirror. Merlin tells Britomart that she and Artegall will found the city of London or Troynouant. They will also begin the Tudor royal dynasty leading to Queen Elizabeth I.
Along the way, Britomart rescues Amoret, a woman trapped by the evil wizard Busirane. She continues on her quest at the end of Book 3 since she hasn't met Artegall yet.
Book 4: Friendship
Book 4 celebrates the virtue of friendship and its connection to love. The knights Cambell and Triamond, who represent true sacrificial friendship, compete in a tournament and show devotion to one another.
