Spenser and Grey are sheltered by Thomas Butler, tenth earl of Ormonde, at his castle in Kilkenny. "In a dedicatory sonnet to Ormonde published with the FQ, Spenser praises the earl's 'braue mansione' as a veritable oasis of learning and refinement in a beautiful yet barbarous land, and speaks of the generosity and 'true honour' of its master."
