Yet ouer him she there long gazing stood,

And oft admir’d his monstrous shape, and oft

His mighty limbs, whilest all with filthy bloud

The place there ouerflowne, seemd like a sodaine flood.

Thence forth[125] she past into his dreadfull den, xxxiii

Where nought but darkesome drerinesse she found,

Ne creature saw, but hearkned now and then

Some litle whispering, and soft groning sound.

With that she askt, what ghosts there vnder ground

Lay hid in horrour of eternall night?
