For nigh thereto the euer damned beast
2 Durst not approch, for he was deadly made,
And all that life preserued, did detest:
4 Yet he it oft aduentur'd to inuade.
By this the drouping day-light gan to fade,
6 And yeeld his roome to sad succeeding night,
Who with her sable mantle gan to shade
8 The face of earth, and wayes of liuing wight,
And high her burning torch set vp in heauen bright.

3 And all that life preserved did detest: 4 Yet he it often adventured to invade.

adventured > ventured invade > enter (SUS)

5 By this the drooping daylight began to fade,

By this > By this time

6 And yield its room to sad succeeding Night,
