Agayne I prou’d yet, nought at all preuaylde,

To breake my speare and not to pearce his syde:

With that the roring monster me assaylde,

So terrifide my horse I coulde not ride,

Wherewith I lighted, and with sworde I tride

By strokes and thrustes to finde some open in,

But of my fight hee neuer past a pin.[668]

And when I weried was and spent with fight,

That kept my selfe with heede his daunger fro,
