And furie, to be crossed in his way,

Gaping full wyde, did thinke without remorse

To be aueng’d on him, and to deuoure his corse.

But the bold knight no whit thereat dismayd, xxi

But catching vp in hand a ragged stone,

Which lay thereby (so fortune him did ayde)

Vpon him ran, and thrust it all attone

Into his gaping throte, that made him grone

And gaspe for breath, that he nigh choked was,

Being vnable to digest that bone;
