And hardly[828] come to land, at length we met the hoast,
And sharpely fought with them, whose praises earst we herd,
I haue no cause of Britayne conquest for to boast,
Of all the Regions first and last with whome I werd:
A people stout and strong, enduring chaunces herd,
And desperate, wilde and fearce, and recklesse found I then,
Not soone agast with dinte, or fright with fall of men,
[Nor brought to yeelde with blowes, but bent for life to strike agen.]
