These faire Marina view'd, left all alone,
The Caue fast shut, Limos for pillage gone;
187

Neere the wash'd shore mong roots and breers, and thorns,
A Bullocke findes, who deluing with his hornes
The hurtlesse earth (the while his tough hoofe tore
The yeelding turffe) in furious rage he bore
His head among the boughs that held it round,
While with his bellowes all the shores resound:
Him Limos kil'd, and hal'd with no small paine
Vnto the Rocke; fed well; then goes againe:
Which seru'd Marina fit, for had his food
Fail'd him, her veines had fail'd their deerest blood.
