And cruell combat ioynd in middle space:
With horrible assault, and furie fell,
They heapt huge strokes, the scorned life to quell,
That all on vprore from her settled seat[504]
The house was raysd, and all that in did dwell;
Seemd that lowde thunder with amazement great
Did rend the ratling skyes with flames of fouldring heat.
The noyse thereof cald[505] forth that straunger knight, xxi
To weet, what dreadfull thing was there in hand[506];
Where when as two braue knights in bloudy fight
