Nigh his wits end then woxe th'amazed knight,
2 And thought his labour lost and trauell vaine,
Against this lifelesse shadow so to fight:

How to take life from that dead-liuing swaine,

From th'earth, and from her wombe new spirits to reprize.

5 That while he marvelled still, did still him pain: 6 For-thy he gan some other ways advise
