The whiles were enterchaunged twixt them two;

Yet they were all with so good wariment

Or warded, or auoyded and let goe,

That still the life stood fearelesse of her foe:

Till Diamond disdeigning long delay

Of doubtfull fortune wauering to and fro,

Resolu’d to end it one or other way;

And heau’d his murdrous axe at him with mighty sway.

The dreadfull stroke in case it had arriued, xviii

Where it was ment, (so deadly it was ment[53])
