646 THE TENTH BUKE
Thys Goddes than furth of ane boys clowd
In lyknes of Ene dyd fchaip and fchrowd
A voyd figur, but ftrenth or curage bald.
The quhilk wondyrus monftre to behald
5 With Troiane wapynnys and armour grathis iche,
With Icheild, and helm, and tymbret fet on hie,
Be femlant lyke Eneas godlyhed ;
And tharto ekis fcho in euery fled
Quent fengeit wordis, fant and contyrfait,
1 With voce, but mynd, or ony other confait ;
And fengeis eik hys concernans and pacis ;
Syklyke as that, thai fay, in diners placis
The wraithis walkis of goillis that ar ded,
Or as the flepy dremys, fra fled to fled
15 Fleand in fwevyn, makis illufionys,
Quhen mennys myndis oft in dravillyng gronys :
And all befor the forfront of the feild
Richt haltandly, as curageus vnder fcheild,
Mufluris this ymage, that with dartis keyn
20 Aggrevyt Turnus, and dyd hym chyde in teyn,
Prouocaud hym to bargane and tyl ire.
And Turnus tho als hoyt as any fyre
Thys figur dyd invaid, and tharat he
In gret difpyte a quhirrand dart leyt fle :
25 Bot this ilk fchaddo, as fum deill addred,
Turnyt abowt, and gaif the bak and fled.
Then Turnus, wenand Ene had tane the flycht,
And al awondryt of that felcouth fyght,
Within hys mynd a vayn comfort kawch he,
30 And cryis lowd ; quhidder fleys thou now, Ene ?
