The XLI. Chapter.
A noteWho is able to stonde before me? Or,
who hath geuen me eny thynge afore
hande, that I am bounde to rewarde
him agayne? All thinges vnder heauen
are myne. I feare him not, whether he
threaten or speake fayre. Who lifteth him vp
and stripeth him out of his clothes, or who
taketh him by the bytt of his brydle? Who
openeth the dore of his face? for he hath horrible
tethe rounde aboute. His body is couered
with scales as it were with shyldes, lockte
in, kepte, and well c&obar;pacte together. One
-- --
is so ioyned to another, that no ayre can come
in: Yee one hangeth so vpon another, and
sticke so together, that they can not be sundered.
His nesinge is like a glisteringe fyre, and
his eyes like the mornynge shyne. Out of his
mouth go torches and fyre brandes, out off
his nostrels there goeth a smoke, like as out
off an hote seetinge pott.
B His breth maketh
the coales burne, the flame goeth out of his
mouth. In his necke remayneth strength,
and before his face sorowe is turned to gladnesse.
The membres of his body are ioyned
so strayte one to another, and cleue so fast together,
that he can not be moued.
His hert is as harde as a stone, &abar;d as fast
as the styth ye that the hammer man smyteth
vpon. When he goeth: the mightiest off all
are afrayed, and the wawes heuy. Yff he
drawe out the swearde, there maye nether
speare ner brest plate abyde him.
C He setteth
as moch by a strawe as by yr&obar;, and as moch
by a rotten stocke as by metall. He starteth
not awaye for him that bendeth the bowe, ∧
as for slynge stones, he careth as moch for
stubble as for them. He counteth the hammer
no better then a strawe, he laugheth him
to scorne that shaketh the speare. He treadeth
the golde in the myre like þe; sharpe potsherdes.
He maketh the depe to seeth and boyle
like a pott, and stereth the see together like
an oyntment. The waye is light after him,
the depe is his walkynge place. Vpon earth
is there no power like vnto his, for he is so
made, that he feareth not. Yff a man will c&obar;sidre
all hye thinges, this same is a kynge ouer
all the children off pryde.
