The knight gan fairely couch his steadie speare,
And fiercely ran at him with rigorous might:
The pointed steele arriving rudely theare,
His harder hide would neither perce, nor bight,
But glauncing by forth passed forward right; 140
Yet sore amoved with so puissaunt push,
The           beast about him turned light,
And him so rudely passing by, did brush
With his long tayle, that horse and man to ground did rush.
