At length they both upstarted in amaze, As men awaked rafhly out of dreme,

Till fecing her, that Florimell did feeme,
In doubt to whom the victorie should deeme,
Therewith their dulled fprights they edgd anew,
And drawing both their words with rage ex-

treme,

Like two mad maftiffes, each on other flew, And fhields did fhare, and mailes did rafh, and helmes did hew.

So furiously each other did affayle,
As if their foules they would attonce have rent
Out of their brefts, that streames of blood did
rayle

Adowne, as if their fprings of life were spent,
