Tho gan Sir Calidore him to aduize/ Of his first quest, which he had long forlore;/ Asham'd to thinke, how he that enterprize,/ The which the Faery Queene had long afore/ Bequeath'd to him, forslacked had so sore. (VI.xii.12)

After saving Pastorella and gaining her hand in marriage, Calidore suddenly remembers this whole quest-thing he vowed to the Faerie Queene, and his loyalty to her starts to make him feel mighty guilty about his extra-long detour.
