For he by words could call out of the sky
2 Both Sunne and Moone, and make them him obay:
The land to sea, and sea to maineland dry,
4 And darkesome night he eke could turne to day:

When so him list his enimies to fray:
8 That to this day for terror of his fame,
The feends do quake, when any him to them does name.
