Whilest he to gathering of the gold did fall.

But he was nothing mou’d, nor tempted therewithall.

But still continu’d his assault the more, xxiv

And layd on load with his huge yron flaile,

That at the length he has yrent the dore,

And made way for his maister to assaile.

Who being entred, nought did then auaile

For wight, against his powre them selues to reare:

Each one did flie; their hearts began to faile,

And hid them selues in corners here and there;
