Now wanting them he felt himselfe so light,

That like an Hauke, which feeling her selfe freed

From bels and iesses, which did let her flight,

Him seem’d his feet did fly, and in their speed delight.

So well he sped him, that the wearie Beare xx

Ere long he ouertooke, and forst to stay,

And without weapon him assayling neare,

Compeld him soone the spoyle adowne to lay.

Wherewith the beast enrag’d to loose[467] his pray,

Vpon him turned, and with greedie force
