fast closed > closely shut in, closely hidden hollow > hollow; also: false, insincere greave > thicket (cognate with "grove"); or perhaps, in view of 310.54:2: grave: hole in the ground, trench (so contrasting with the private meaning intended by Trompart at line 8)
4 Or buried in the ground from jeopardy, 5 Till we return again in safety: 6 As for us two, lest doubt of us you have, 7 Hence far away we will blindfolded lie, 8 Nor privy be to your treasure's grave." 9 It pleased: so he did. Then they march forward brave.

Now when amid the thickest woods they were,
2 They heard a noyse of many bagpipes shrill,
And shrieking Hububs them approching nere,
4 Which all the forrest did with horror fill:
That dreadfull sound the boasters hart did thrill,
6 With such amazement, that in haste he fled,
Ne euer looked backe for good or ill,
8 And after him eke fearefull Trompart sped;
The old man could not fly, but fell to ground halfe ded.
