Drayton verifies the legend in his Polyolbion, and tells us how—
Upon that loftie place at Plimmouth, call’d the Hoe,
Those mightie Wrastlers met;
and how that Gogmagog was by Corin—
Pitcht head-long from the hill; as when a man doth throw
An Axtree that with sleight deliurd from the Foe
Roots up the yeelding earth, so that his violent fall,
Strooke Neptune with such strength, as shouldred him withall;
That where the monstrous waues like mountaines late did stand,
They leapt out of the place, and left the bared sand
