But the steele-head no stedfast hold could fynd,
But glauncing by, deceiu’d him of that he desynd.
Not so the Prince: for his well learned speare xi
Tooke surer hould, and from his horses backe
Aboue a launces length him forth did beare,
And gainst the cold hard earth so sore him strake,
That all his bones in peeces nigh he brake.
Where seeing him so lie, he left his steed,
And to him leaping, vengeance thought to take
Of him, for all his former follies meed,
