Therewith her dim eie-lids she vp gan reare,
2 On which the drery death did sit, as sad
As lump of lead, and made darke clouds appeare;
4 But when as him all in bright armour clad
Before her standing she espied had,
6 As one out of a deadly dreame affright,
She weakely started, yet she nothing drad:
8 Streight downe againe her selfe in great despight,
She groueling threw to ground, as hating life and light.
