Do backe rebut, and each to other yeeldeth land.
As when two rams stird with ambitious pride, xvi
Fight for the rule of the rich fleeced flocke,
Their horned fronts so fierce on either side
Do meete, that with the terrour[83] of the shocke
Astonied both, stand sencelesse[84] as a blocke,
Forgetfull of the hanging victory:
So stood these twaine, vnmoued as a rocke,
Both staring fierce, and holding idely[85]
The broken reliques of their former cruelty.
