And high aduauncing his bloud-thirstie blade,
2 Stroke one of those deformed heads so sore,
That of his puissance proud ensample made;
4 His monstrous scalpe downe to his teeth it tore,
And that misformed shape mis-shaped more:
6 A sea of bloud gusht from the gaping wound,
That her gay garments staynd with filthy gore,
8 And ouerflowed all the field around;
That ouer shoes in bloud he waded on the ground.
1 And, high advancing his bloodthirsty blade,
advancing > raising
2 Struck one of those deformed heads so sore 3 That of his puissance proud example made;
puissance > power, strength proud > (Refers to both "his puissance" and the "ensample")
4 His monstrous scalp down to his teeth it tore,
scalp > scalp; or: crown of the head, cranium
5 And that misformed shape mis-shaped more:
mis-shaped > made mis-shapen
6 A sea of blood gushed from the gaping wound, 7 That her gay garments stained with filthy gore, 8 And overflowed all the field around; 9 That over shoes in blood he waded on the ground.
