Text Appearing Before Image:
ey, towards evening wandering every way To seeke for booty, came by fortune blynde Wrhereas this lady, like a sheepe astray, Now drowned in the depth of sleepe all fearlesse lay, Soone as they spide her, lord! what gladfull glee They made amongst themselves! but when her face Like the faire yvory shining they did see Each gan his fellow solace and embrace For ioy of such good hap by heavenly grace Then gan they to devize what course to take; Whether to slay her there upon the plfce, Or suffer her out of her sleepe to wake, And then her eate attonce, or many meales to make.

The damzell Tralces; then all attonce upstart,And round about her flocke, like many flies.Whooping and hallowing on every part,As if they would have rent the brasen skies.Which when she sees with ghastly griefful eies.Her heart does quake, and deadly pallid hewBenumbes her cheeks: then out aloud she cries,Where none is nigh to heare, that will her rew.And rends her golden locks, and snowy bres
