So th'one for wrong, the other striues for right:
2 As when a Gryfon seized of his pray,
A Dragon fiers encountreth in his flight,
4 Through widest ayre making his ydle way,
That would his rightfull rauine rend away:
6 With hideous horrour both together smight,
And souce so sore, that they the heauens affray:
8 The wise Southsayer seeing so sad sight,
Th'amazed vulgar tels of warres and mortall fight.

1 So the one for wrong, the other strives for right:
2 As when a griffin, seized of his prey,

griffin > {Monster with the body of a lion and head and wings of an
eagle}
seized > in rightful possession

4 Through widest air making his idle way,
5 That would his rightful ravin rend away:

ravin > plunder, prey

6 With hideous horror both together smite,

hideous > abominable; terrific; immense

7 And souse so sore that they the heavens affray:

souse > strike heavy blows; _perhaps also:_ swoop (as a hawk on its

sad > calamitous, ominous [a]

The cruell steele so greedily doth bight
4 In tender flesh, that streames of bloud down flow,
With which the armes, that earst so bright did show
6 Into a pure vermillion now are dyde:
Great ruth in all the gazers harts did grow,
8 Seeing the gored woundes to gape so wyde,
That victory they dare not wish to either side.

1 So the one for wrong, the other strives for right,
2 And each to deadly shame would drive his foe:
3 The cruel steel so greedily does bite

the arms > [the armour]
erst > at first

6 Into a pure vermilion now are dyed:
7 Great ruth in all the gazers' hearts did grow,

ruth > pity

8 Seeing the gored wounds to gape so wide,
9 That victory they dare not wish to either side.
