Him to assault, nor once approach him nie,

But like a sort of sheepe dispersed farre

For dread of their deuouring enemie,

Through all the fields and vallies did before him flie.

But when as daies faire shinie-beame, yclowded xlv

With fearefull shadowes of deformed night,

Warn’d man and beast in quiet rest be shrowded,

Bold Radigund with sound of trumpe on hight,

Causd all her people to surcease from fight,

And gathering them vnto her citties gate,
