That he destroyed his warlike men,
And Humber’s power did overthrow;
And Humber, which for fear did fly,
Leapt into a river desp’rately;
And being drowned in the deep,
He left a lady there alive,
Which sadly did lament and weep,
For fear they should her life deprive.
But by her face that was so fair,
The king was caught in Cupid’s snare:
