Brag not cause you slew and withstood
Within the thick Næmæan wood
A beast, the temper of whose heart
Was like a nether Milstone; Dart,
Nor threatning Sword, nor frightfull Speare,
Could terrifie it with Panick feare:
Like knotty wreaths of craggy brasse
His sinewes were, a noise did passe

From's mouth, which might strike deafe the eares
Of mortals, and affright the Spheres;
You wore his ruggid shaggie hide
About your shoulder, and left side.
