As when two rams stird with ambitious pride,
2 Fight for the rule of the rich fleeced flocke,
Their horned fronts so fierce on either side
4 Do meete, that with the terrour of the shocke
Astonied both, stand sencelesse as a blocke,

So stood these twaine, vnmoued as a rocke,
8 Both staring fierce, and holding +idlely+
The broken reliques of their former cruelty.
