Then Robin enrag’d, more fiercely engag’d,
And follow’d his blows more severe.
So thick and so fast did he lay it on him,
With a passionate fury and ire ;
At every stroke he made him to smoke,
As if he had been all on fire.
O then into fury the stranger he grew,
And gave him a damnable look,
And with it a blow that laid him full low,
And tumbl’d him into the brook. {294}
