The fearefull Dame all quaked at the sight,
2 And turning backe, gan fast to fly away,
Vntill with loue reuokt from vaine affright,
4 She hardly yet perswaded was to stay,
And then to him these womanish words gan say;
6 Ah _Satyrane_, my dearling, and my ioy,
For loue of me leaue off this dreadfull play;
8 To dally thus with death, is no fit toy,
Go find some other play-fellowes, mine own sweet boy.

In these and like delights of bloudy game
2 He trayned was, till ryper yeares he raught,
And there abode, whilst any beast of name
4 Walkt in that forest, whom he had not taught
To feare his force: and then his courage haught

But through all Faery lond his famous worth was blown.

2 After long labours and aduentures spent,
Vnto those natiue woods for to repaire,
4 To see his sire and ofspring auncient.
And now he thither came for like intent;
6 Where he vnwares the fairest _Vna_ found,
Straunge Lady, in so straunge habiliment,
8 Teaching the Satyres,
