¶ The .xlj. Chapter.
¶ Of the same Leuyathan wherof is mencyoned
in the Chapter afore.
A No man is so cruell, þt; is able
to stere h&ibar; vp. noteWho is able
to st&abar;de before me? Or note who
hath geuen me any thyng afore
h&abar;de, þt; I maye rewarde
him agayne? All thynges
vnder heauen are myne: I
feare him not, whether he threaten or speake
fayre. Who lyfteth him vp, and stripeth hym
out of his clothes, or who taketh him by the
bytt of his brydle? Who openeth þe; dore of his
face? for he hath horrible tethe rounde about.
His body is couered wyth scales as it were
with shyldes,
B lockte in, kepte, and well compacte
together: One is so ioyned to another,
þt; no ayre can come in: Yee, one h&abar;geth so vp&obar;
another, and stycketh so together, þt; they c&abar;not
be sundered. His nesyng is lyke a glystering
fyre, and his eyes lyke þe; mornynge shyne.
Out of his mouth go torches, and out of
his nostrels ther goeth a smoke, lyke as out
of an hote sething pot. His breth maketh the
coales burne, and the fl&abar;me goeth out of hys
mouth.
C In his necke remayneth str&ebar;gth, and
nothing is to laborious for him. The membres
of his body are ioyned so strayte one to
another, and cleaue so fast together, that he
-- --
cannot be moued.
His hert is as herd as a stone, and as fast
as the stythye that the smyth smyteth vpon.
When he goeth: the myghtye are afrayed, &abar;d
feare troubleth them. If any man draw out
a swearde at him, it shall not hurt him: there
may nether speare, iauelinge ner brest plate,
abyde hym. He setteth as moch by a strawe
as by yron, and as moch by a rotten stocke
as by brasse. He starteth not awaye for hym
that bendeth the bowe:
D and as for slynge stones,
he careth as moch for stubble as for th&ebar;.
He counteth the dartes no better then a strawe,
he laugheth hym to scorne that shaketh
the speare. He treadeth the gold in the myre
lyke the sharpe potsherdes. He maketh the
depe to boyle lyke a pot, and stereth the see
together lyke an oyntment. He maketh a
path to be sene after hym, the depe is hys
walkynge place. Upon erth is there no power
lyke vnto hys, for he is so made that he
feareth not. If a man wyll consydre all hye
thynges, thys same is a kynge ouer all the
chyldren of pryde.
