Calidore, arriving first, forces the animal to drop poor Serena, then, knowing her husband will attend to her, continues to pursue the fleeing monster.
On reaching his beloved Serena, Sir Calespine finds her so sorely wounded that she requires immediate care.

Tenderly placing her on his horse, he supports her fainting form through the forest.

During one of their brief halts, he suddenly sees a bear carrying an infant, so rushes after the animal to rescue the child.

Only after a prolonged pursuit does he achieve his purpose, and, not knowing how else to dispose of the babe, carries it to a neighboring castle, where the lady gladly adopts it, because she and her husband have vainly awaited an heir.

Sir Calespine now discovers he is unable to retrace his steps to his wounded companion, who soon after is found by a gentle savage.
This man is trying to take her to some place of safety when overtaken by Arthur and Timias, who, seeing Serena in his company, fancy she is his captive.
