Being returned to his former hew:

But Talus soone him ouertooke, and backward drew.

But when as he would to a snake againe xix

Haue turn’d himselfe, he with his yron flayle

Gan driue at him, with so huge might and maine,

That all his bones, as small as sandy grayle

He broke, and did his bowels disentrayle;

Crying in vaine for helpe, when helpe was past.

So did deceipt the selfe deceiuer fayle,

There they him left a carrion outcast;
