tracted > traced, tracked savage > wild but not necessarily savage trade > track, trail

6 "Vile miscreant," said he, "whither do you fly

miscreant > wretch, villain; heretic fly > flee

invade > intrude upon, attack

8 What coward hand shall do you next to die,

do > cause

9 That are thus foully fled from famous enemy?"
