Tho mou'd with wrath, and shame, and Ladies sake,
6 Of all attonce he cast auengd to bee,
And with so'exceeding furie at him strake,

And to him said, Goe now proud Miscreant,
2 Thy selfe thy message doe to german deare,
Alone he wandring thee too long doth want:
4 Goe say, his foe thy shield with his doth beare.
Therewith his heauie hand he high gan reare,

8 But vanisht is. The Elfe him cals alowd,
But answer none receiues: the darknes him does shrowd.

miscreant > wretch, villain; heretic

2 Yourself your message do to german dear;

do > give, make (as 105.11:3)
german > [your] brother
dear > dear; _also:_ dire, difficult. (If "german" is read as an

3 Alone he, wandering, you too long does want:
4 Go say, his foe your shield with his does bear."
5 Therewith his heavy hand he high gan rear,

Therewith > With that
gan > did

6 Him to have slain; when lo a darksome cloud
7 Upon him fell: he nowhere does appear,
8 But vanished is. The Elf him calls aloud,
9 But answer none receives: the darkness him does shroud.

shroud > shroud; shelter

That euer Ladie to her loue did chose,
4 Let now abate the terror of your might,
And quench the flame of furious despight,
6 And bloudie vengeance; lo th'inf
