So many strange things happened me to see,

As much it grieveth me to think thereon.

At my right hand a hynde appeared to mee,

So faire as mote the greatest god delite;

Two eager dogs did her pursue in chase,

Of which the one was blacke, the other white;

With deadly force, so in their cruell race

They pincht the haunches of that gentle beast,

That at the last, and in short time I spide,

Under a rocke, where she, alas, opprest,
