Text Appearing Before Image:
" Were not," sayd she, " that it should let your pace
Towards my ladies presence by you ment;
I would you guyde directly to the place
"Then let not that, said they, stay your intent;
For neither will one foot, till we that carle have bent,"

So forth they past, till they approched ny
Unto the rocke where was the villains won:
Which when the damzell neare at hand did spy.
She warn'd the knights thereof: who thereupon
Gan to advize what best were to be done.
So both agreed to send that mayd afore.
Where she might sit nigh to the den alone,
Wayling, and raysing pittifull uprore,
As if she did some great calamitie deplore.

With noyse whereof whenas the caytive carle
Should issue forth, in hope to find some spoyle.
They in awayt would closely him ensnarle.
Ere to his den he backward could recoyle;
And so would hope him easily to foyle.
The damzeU straight went, as she was directed.
Unto the rocke; and there, upon the soyle
Having herselfe in wretched wize abiected,
Gan weepe and wayle as if great griefe had her affected.
Text Appearing After Image:


When he did view
The armed knights stopping his passage by,
He threw his burden down, and fast away did fly.
Book V. Canto IX. Verse 14

THE PAEEIE QUEENE. 615

The cry whereof entring the hollow cave
Eftsoones brought forth the villaine, as they ment.
With hope of her some wishfull boot to have;
Full dreadfull wight he was as ever went
Upon the earth, with hollow eyes deepe pent,
And long curld locks that downe his shoulders shagged,
And on his backe an uncouth vestiment
Made of straunge stuffe, but all to worne and ragged.
And underneath his breech was all to torne and iagged.

And in his hand an huge long stafFe{{ he held.
Whose top was arm'd with many an yron hookey
Fit to catch hold of all that he could weld.
Or in the compasse of his cloutches tooke;
And ever round about he cast his looke:
Als at his backe a great wyde net he bore.
With which he seldom fished at the brooke.
But usd to fish for fooles on the dry shore,
Of which he in faire weather wont to take great store.
Him when the damzell saw fast by her side
