Sewing the Blatant beast, which I forbore

To finish then, for other present hast.

Full many pathes and perils he hath past,

Through hils, through dales, throgh forests, and throgh plaines

In that same quest which fortune on him cast,

Which he atchieued to his owne great gaines,

Reaping eternall glorie of his restlesse paines.

So sharply he the Monster did pursew, iii

That day nor night he suffred him to rest,

Ne rested he himselfe but natures dew,
