With flaming sword in hand his terror more to breed.

The fearefull swayne beholding death so nie, xii

Cryde out aloud for mercie him to saue;

In lieu whereof he would to him descrie,

Great treason to him meant, his life to reaue.

The Prince soone hearkned, and his life forgaue.

The which for promise of great meed, vs draue

To this attempt, to wreake his hid despight,

For that himselfe thereto did want sufficient might.
