That he which was the last, the first did farre exceede.
He like a monstrous Gyant seem’d in sight, xxxvii
Farre passing Bronteus, or Pyracmon[98] great,
The which in Lipari doe day and night
Frame thunderbolts for Ioues auengefull threate.
So dreadfully he did the anduile beat,
That seem’d to dust he shortly would it driue:
So huge his hammer and so fierce his heat,
That seem’d a rocke of Diamond it could riue,
And rend a sunder quite, if he thereto list striue.
