Vpwards euerted. But ^[1]Craugasides
Reuendg'd his death; and at his enimie
Dischardg'd a dart; that did his point implie
In his mid-bellie. All the sharp-pil'de speare
Got after in; and did before it beare
His vniuersall entrailes to the earth,
Soone as his swolne hand, gaue his iaueline birth.
^[2]Sitophagus, beholding the sad sight,
Set on the shore; went halting from the fight,
Vext with his wounds extremelie. And to make
Waie from extreme fate, lept into the lake.
Troxartes strooke, in th'insteps vpper part,
Physignathus; who, (priuie to the smart
His wound imparted) with his vtmost hast
Lept to the lake, and fled. Troxartes cast
His eye vpon the foe that fell before;
And, (see'ng him halfe-liu'de) long'd againe to gore
$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,}$His gutlesse bosome; and (to kill him quite)
Ranne fiercely at him. Which ^[3]Prassæus sight
Tooke instant note of; and the first in fight
$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,}$Thrust desp'rate way through; casting, his keene lance
Off at Troxartes; whose shield turn'd th'aduance
The sharpe head made: & checkt the mortall chance.
Amongst the Mise fought, an Egregiouse
Young spring all; and a close-encountring Mouse:
Pure ^[4]Artepibulus his deare descent:
A Prince that Mars himselfe shewd, where he went
(Call'd ^[5]Meridarpax.) Of so huge a might;
