6 With hideous horror both together smite,
hideous > abominable; terrific; immense
7 And souse so sore that they the heavens affray:
souse > strike heavy blows; perhaps also: swoop (as a hawk on its prey) affray > terrify
8 The wise soothsayer, seeing so sad sight,
sad > calamitous, ominous [a]
9 The amazed vulgar tells of wars and mortal fight.
vulgar > common people mortal > deadly, lethal

So th'one for wrong, the other striues for right,
2 And each to deadly shame would driue his foe:
The cruell steele so greedily doth bight
4 In tender flesh, that streames of bloud down flow,
With which the armes, that earst so bright did show
6 Into a pure vermillion now are dyde:
Great ruth in all the gazers harts did grow,
8 Seeing the gored woundes to gape so wyde,
That victory they dare not wish to either side.
