Or starue for hunger in the barrayn feelde.

Here shame and payne a while were at a strife,

Payne bade[542] mee yeelde, shame bad mee rather fast:

The one bad spare, the other bad spend my life,

But shame (shame haue it) ouercame at last:

Then hunger gnew,[543] that doth the stone wall brast,

And made mee eat both grauel, durt and mud,

And last of all, my dung, my flesh, and bloud.[544]
