203.32

Such when as hartlesse Trompart her did vew,
2 He was dismayed in his coward mind,
And doubted, whether he himselfe should shew,
4 Or fly away, or bide alone behind:
Both feare and hope he in her face did find,
6 When she at last him spying thus bespake;
Hayle Groome; didst not thou see a bleeding Hind,
8 Whose right haunch earst my stedfast arrow strake?
If thou didst, tell me, that I may her ouertake.
