Some headed with sad lead, some with pure gold;
(Ah man beware, how thou those darts behold)
A wounded Dragon vnder him did ly,
Whose hideous tayle his left foot did enfold[1157],

That no man forth might draw, ne no man remedye.
And vnderneath his feet was written thus, xlix
Vnto the Victor of the Gods this bee:
And all the people in that ample hous
Did to that image bow their humble knee,
