204.6
The noble Guyon mou'd with great remorse,
2 Approching, first the Hag did thrust away,
And after adding more impetuous forse,
4 His mightie hands did on the madman lay,
And pluckt him backe; who all on fire streight way,
6 Against him turning all his fell intent,
With beastly brutish rage gan him assay,
8 And smot, and bit, and kickt, and scratcht, and rent,
And did he wist not what in his auengement.
