But farre in land a saluage nation dwelt,
2 Of hideous Giants, and halfe beastly men,
That neuer tasted grace, nor goodnesse felt,
4 But like wild beasts lurking in loathsome den,
And flying fast as Roebucke through the fen,
6 All naked without shame, or care of cold,
By hunting and by spoiling liued then;
8 Of stature huge, and eke of courage bold,
That sonnes of men amazd their sternnesse to behold.
