Amazde, they gazde, not knowing what was best,
So strayghtly were the Saxons then distrest.
5.
These dreadful Danes they had no feare of God,
But sauage, they did make their lust a lawe,
Whome God did send for a reuenging rod,
To make vs Saxons liue in feare and awe
Of him, who did from seruile bondage drawe
Vs out, and made vs liue at libertie,
When as we serude with cruel slauerie.
