An yron brest, and backe of scaly bras,
And all embrewd in bloud, his eyes did shine as glas.
His tayle was stretched out in wondrous length, xviii

And with extorted powre, and borrow’d strength,

And prowdly threw to ground, as things of nought[243];
And vnderneath his filthy feet did tread
The sacred things, and holy heasts foretaught.
