flood irrepassable Yet Bagos hearing Izaks cry encrease He with his foot the dore began to prease And entred where the bed he did beholde All bled with Holophernes carcasse colde He tore his hair and all his garments rent And to the heauen his howling cries he sent But when he mist the Hebrew-Dame away Then raging he began a gastly fray And from the bloody tent as he ran out Among the Heathen thus began to shout Woe woe to vs a slaue they Iudith call In sleaing Holopherne hath slain vs all That daunted all the world These nouels last Ioynd to the former fear that lately past Affrighted so the souldiers one and all That pike and dart and target they let fall And fled through mountains valleis and throw heaths Where ev'rie chaunce procurde them worser deaths Then all th' assieged folk in flocks descended And on their enmies backs their howe 's they bended Both parties ran but th' one that other chased The weary flyers flight themselfs defaced The Hebrews there in fight not one they lost But they bet down and slew the Heathen hoste As doth a Lion of Getulia wood Bespred the land with woried beasts and blood So long as he may finde a beast abide That dare oppone him to his cruell pride Som head long throwes themselfs from craggie Rocks And breaks their bones and all their brains out knocks Som hath forgot that Parcas every whear Waits on their end that drowne in water clear But if that any scapte by som great hap He scapte the first but not the after clap Fore all the straits and passages were set That none should scape aliue where thy were met Yea scarsly one was left to tell the king At Niniue of all this wondrous thing This battell done all those whose Sex and age With held at home their dolours to asswage Came forth out of their fort to see and hear What God had done for them his people dear They found som men dismembred hauing breath That cried in vain a hundreth times for death Another gnashes with his teeth in pains Som dead in face their former rage retains And som is shot directly throw the hart Ech soule departs to his appointed part According to the valew or the chaunce That fortun'd them to dye on sword or launce In short to see this sight so dreadful was That even the Hebrews would haue sayd Alas If they had vanquisht any enmie els This while amongst the corses infidels Among a hundred thousand their was found The cheftains carcas rent with many-a wound Of spear and sword by th' Hebrews in their yre Ther was no sinew Arter vain nor lyre That was not mangled with their vulgar rage No time nor moment might their yre asswage If Holopherne had been like Atlas long Or like in limmes vnto Briarius strong Yet should his body been too small a pray To sati fie their furie ev'ry way For in that Camp was not so small a knaue But of
