Vnarm’d, as fearing neither foe nor frend,

And without sword his person to defend.

There him befell, vnlooked for before,

An hard aduenture with vnhappie end,

A cruell Beare, the which an infant bore

Betwixt his bloodie iawes, besprinckled all with gore.

The litle babe did loudly scrike[464] and squall, xviii

And all the woods with piteous plaints did fill,

As if his cry did meane for helpe to call

To Calepine, whose eares those shrieches shrill
