Early on the morrow Sir Lybius sets out for the inchanted palace.
He alights in the court: enters the hall: the wonders of which are
described in strong Gothic painting. He sits down at the high table: on
a sudden all the lights are quenched: it thunders, and lightens; the
palace shakes; the walls fall in pieces about his ears. He is dismayed
and confounded: but presently hears horses neigh, and is challenged to
single combat by the sorcerers. He gets to his steed: a battle ensues,
with various turns of fortune: he loses his weapon; but gets a sword
from one of the necromancers, and wounds the other with it: the edge of
the sword being secretly poisoned, the wound proves mortal.
