AND BALLADS* 3*3
His tulks lay'd dogs fo dead afleep, 285
Nor horn, nor whip cou'd wake 'urn :
tt made them vent both their laft blood*
And their laft album-grecum.
But the knight gor'd him with his fpear,
To make of him a tame one, 2.99
And arrows thick, inftead of cloves.*
He ftuck in monfter's gammon.
For monumental pillar, that
His victory might be known*
He rais'd up, in cylindric form, 2Q|
A coller of the brawn.
He fent his made to fhades below,
In Stygian mud to wallow :
And eke the flout St. George eftfoon,
He made the dragon follow. 30®
George he was for England ; St.Dennis was for France
Sing, Honi foit qui maly penfe.
Achilles of old Chiron learnt
The great horfe for to ride 3
H' was taught by th' Centaur's rational part, 305
The hinnible to beftride*
Bright filver feet, and mining face
Had this ftout hero's mother ;
As rapier's filver'd at one end,
And wounds us at the other* 31©
