She lightly to him leapt, and in his necke
Her proud foote setting, at his head did leuell,
Weening at once her wrath on him to wreake,
And his contempt, that did her iudg’ment breake.
As when a Beare hath seiz’d her cruell clawes
Vppon the carkasse of some beast too weake,
Proudly stands ouer, and a while doth pause,
To heare the piteous beast pleading her plaintiffe cause.
Whom when as Artegall in that distresse xli
By chaunce beheld, he left the bloudy slaughter,
