Pursew her steps, through wild vnknowen wood;

Whiles in the bush he lay, not yet forgot:

But turning said to _Trompart_, What foule blot

Depart to woods vntoucht, and leaue so proud disdaine?

8 And I (said _Braggadocchio_) thought no lesse,
When first I heard her horne sound with such ghastlinesse.
