And clasping twixt his armes, her vp did reare

Vpon his steede, whiles she no whit gainesayd,

So bore her quite away, nor well nor ill apayd.

Nathlesse the yron man did still pursew lxv

Into the sea he droue quite from that soyle,

The which they troubled had with great turmoyle.

But Artegall seeing his cruell deed,

Commaunded him from slaughter to recoyle,
