So boldly he him beares, and rusheth forth
2 Betweene them both, by conduct of his blade.
Wondrous great prowesse and heroick worth
4 He shewd that day, and rare ensample made,
When two so mighty warriours he dismade:
6 Attonce he wards and strikes, he takes and payes,
Now forst to yield, now forcing to inuade,
8 Before, behind, and round about him layes:
So double was his paines, so double be his prayse.
