And many a knight that solde his death full deere.

65.

Not worthy Hector, worthyest of them all,

Her hope, her ioy, his force is now for nought:

O Troy, Troy,[1554] there is no boote but bale,

The hugie horse within thy walls is brought:

Thy turrets fall, thy knights, that whilome fought

In armes amid the field, are slayne in bed,

Thy gods defylde, and all thy honour dead.
