Of butchers balefull hand to ground is feld,
Is forcibly kept downe, till he be throughly queld.
Full cruelly the Beast did rage and rore, xxxi
To be downe held, and maystred so with might,
That he gan fret and fome out bloudy gore,
Striuing in vaine to rere him selfe vpright.
For still the more he stroue, the more the Knight
Did him suppresse, and forcibly subdew;
That made him almost mad for fell despight.
He grind, hee bit, he scratcht, he venim threw,
