Seemed to thunder, and did nigh affray

That Capons courage: yet he looked grim,

And fain’d to cheare his Ladie in dismay;

Who seem’d for feare to quake in euery lim,

And her to saue from outrage, meekely prayed him.

Fiercely that stranger forward came, and nigh xvi

Approching, with bold words and bitter threat,

Bad that same boaster, as he mote, on high

To leaue to him that Lady for excheat,

Or bide him battell without further treat.
