That Britomart heard not the shrilling sound,
There where through weary trauel she lay sleeping sound.
It was to weet a wilde and saluage man, v
Yet was no man, but onely like in shape,
And eke in stature higher by a span,
All ouergrowne with haire, that could awhape
An hardy hart, and his wide mouth did gape
With huge great teeth, like to a tusked Bore:
For he liu’d all on rauin and on rape
Of men and beasts; and fed on fleshly gore,
