But got his ready fteed, and faft away gan ride. IX. The wyld woodgods arrived in the place, There find the virgin dolefull, defolate, With rufBed rayments, and faire blubbred face,.. As her outrageous foe had left her late, And trembling yet through feare of former hate:. All ftand amazed at fo uncouth fight, And gin to pirtie her unhappic ftate ; All ftand aftonied at her beautie bright,In thcT rude eyes unworthie of fo vvofull plight, X. she more amazd, in double dread doth dwell;And every tender part tor feare does (hake;As when a greedy Wolfe through hunger fellA feely Lambe farre from the flocke does take,Of whom he meanes his bloudie feaft to make,.A Lyon fpyes faft running towards him,The innocent pray in haft he does quit from death yet quakes in every lim With chaunge of feare, to fee the Lyon looke fo grim.
