That following his chace in dewy morne,

To fly his stepdames loues outrageous,

Of his owne steedes was all to peeces torne,

And his faire limbs left in the woods forlorne;

That for his sake Diana did lament,

And all the wooddy Nymphes did wayle and mourne.

So was this Souldan rapt and all to rent,

That of his shape appear’d no litle moniment.

Onely his shield and armour, which there lay, xliv

Though nothing whole, but all to brusd and broken,
