P.S. for the curious. This afternoon I was looking up something else in the Spenser Concordance and noticed that in FQ 4.2.32, Spenser says the deeds of Sir Cambell and Sir Triamond were "compyled" by Chaucer "With warlike numbers and Heroicke sound." He's referring to the missing section (ending? bulk?) of the Squire's Tale. "Heroicke sound" = rhyming couplets? I'm guessing no, but since Spenser is describing a section of the poem that doesn't exist, it's rather difficult to decide.
