They spide a Lady left all succourlesse,

Crying, and holding vp her wretched hands

To him for aide, who long in vaine their rage withstands.

Yet still he striues, ne any perill spares, xlv

To reskue her from their rude violence,

And like a Lion wood amongst them fares,

Dealing his dreadfull blowes with large dispence,

Gainst which the pallid death findes no defence.

But all in vaine, their numbers are so great,

That naught may boot to banishe them from thence:
