Following this pilgrim's directions, Sir Satyrane soon overtakes the reported slayer of Georgos, and while they two struggle together, the terrified Una flees into the forest, closely pursued by the pilgrim, Archimago in a new disguise.

Meantime the fight continues until Sansloi, severely wounded, beats a retreat, leaving Sir Satyrane too injured to follow Una.

She, however, has meantime overtaken her dwarf, and learned from him that the Red Cross Knight is a prisoner of Orgolio.

Thereupon she vows' not to rest until she has rescued her companion.

She and her dwarf are hastening in the direction in which the giant vanished with his victim, when they meet Prince Arthur,--a personification of Leicester and of Chivalry,--who, although he has never yet seen the Fairy Queen, is so deeply in love with her that he does battle in her name whenever he can.
