But when as nought according to his mind
He could outlearne, he them from ground did reare:
No seruice lothsome to a gentle kind;
And on his warlike beast them both did beare,

To which they drew, ere night vpon them fell;
And entring in, found none therein abide,
But one old woman sitting there beside,
