His feeble steps, which shrunk when hard thereon he lay.

With him went Daunger, cloth’d in ragged weed,

Made of bear’s skin, that him more dreadful made;

Yet his own face was dreadfull, ne did need

Strange horror to deform his grisly shade;

A net in th’ one hand, and a rusty blade

In th’ other was; this Mischiefe, that Mishap;

With th’ one his foes he threat’ned to invade,

With th’ other he his friends meant to enwrap;

For whom he could not kill he practiz’d to entrap.
