And strutting round with horrid stare,

Breath’d terror to the Brocks[12].

But Robert Rutter drew his sword,

And rushing forward right,

The horrid creature’s thrapple gor’d,

And barr’d his rueful spite:

Then stretching forth his brawny arm,

To drag him to the stream,

He grappled grizzle, rough and warm,

Which rouz’d him from his dream.
