Sir Calidore, who volunteers to escort her, then suggests that he bear to her father the head of the knight whom Tristram slew, stating this villain was carrying her off when he rescued her.

This tale so completely blinds Priscilla's father that he joyfully welcomes his daughter home, expressing great gratitude to her deliverers ere they pass on.
Calidore and his squire have not journeyed far before they perceive a knight and his lady sporting in the shade.

So joyful and innocent do they seem that the travellers gladly join them, and, while the men converse together, Lady Serena strays out into a neighboring field to gather flowers.

While she is thus occupied the Blatant Beast pounces upon her, and is about to bear her away when her cries startle her companions.

They immediately dart to her rescue.
