Both horse and man vp lightly rose againe,
2 And fresh encounter towards him addrest:
But th'idle stroke yet backe recoyld in vaine,
4 And found no place his deadly point to rest.
Exceeding rage enflam'd the furious beast,
6 To be auenged of so great despight;
For neuer felt his imperceable brest
8 So wondrous force, from hand of liuing wight;
Yet had he prou'd the powre of many a puissant knight.
1 Both horse and man up lightly rose again,
lightly > immediately; easily
2 And fresh encounter towards him addressed: 3 But the idle stroke yet back recoiled in vain,
