The first troupe was a monstrous rablement
2 Of fowle misshapen wights, of which some were
Headed like Owles, with +beckes+ vncomely bent,
4 Others like Dogs, others like Gryphons dreare,
And some had wings, and some had clawes to teare,
6 And euery one of them had Lynces eyes,
And euery one did bow and arrowes beare:
8 All those were lawlesse lustes, corrupt enuies,
And couetous aspectes, all cruell enimies.
