At last I came into a desert place.

Besette with hills, and monstrous rockes of stone,

My company behinde mee lost, or stayed:

The place was eke with hauty trees oregrowne,

So wist[342] and wylde it made mee halfe afrayd.

And strayght I was with rauening wolues betrayd,

Came out of caues, and dennes, and rockes amayne.

There was I rent in peeces, kild, and slayne.
