His hideous tayle then hurled he about,
2 And therewith all enwrapt the nimble thyes
Of his froth-fomy steed, whose courage stout
4 Striuing to loose the knot, that fast him tyes,
Himselfe in streighter bandes too rash implyes,
6 That to the ground he is perforce constraynd
To throw his rider: who can quickly ryse
8 From off the earth, with durty bloud distaynd,
For that reprochfull fall right fowly he disdaynd.
