What secret place (quoth he) can safely hold
2 So huge a masse, and hide from heauens eye?
Or where hast thou thy wonne, that so much gold
4 Thou canst preserue from wrong and robbery?
Come thou (quoth he) and see. So by and by
6 Through that thicke couert he him led, and found
A darkesome way, which no man could descry,
8 That deepe descended through the hollow ground,
And was with dread and horrour compassed around.
