he assailes the dreadfull Dragon, with such fury
and Monter quelling strokes, as if the Ciclops
had beene forging, an I beating T••••erbolts
on Vulcans A••uile: where in conclusion, after a
terrible and long endured Combate, with his
Launce hee gores the Hell-hound vnder the
wing, that he presently after most hideous roring,
and bleching of fire is vanquished and s••ine: at
which the terrible shaped Gyant rises (who ha∣uing
fate as a Spectator of this bloudy Battell
vpon a stampe of a Tree at the Castle Gate) and
addresses himselfe towards Saint George, meaning
to reuenge the death of the Dragon, aud to swal∣low
his enemy for a medium: but at their first
encounter, the blowes on both sides fell like thun∣der-claps,
enforcing Lightnings, and fierie exha∣lations
to sparkle from whence their powerfull
stroakes lighted: at last the Monster gaping wide
as an Arch in London Bridge, runnes furiously,
intending to swallow his Aduersary at a bit: wch
Saint George seeing, vpon the suddaine thrust his
Sword into his greedy throat, & ouerthrew him:
at which the Monster yels and cores forth such a
terrible noyle, as if the Center of the Earth had
crackt, that with the vncouth din thereof, the
Neighbouring Hils, Woods, and Valleyes, see∣med
to tremble like an earth quake.
The Gyant lying at the mercy of Saint George,
entreats him to spare his life, and he wil shew him
the way how hee shall conquer the Castle, and
bring the Inchanter to his euerlasting downfall.
Vpon which promise, Saint George and the Gy∣ant
walke into the Castle together, where he tels
Saint George that there is an Inchanted fountain,
and whosoeuer can attaine to drinke of it, shalbe
he, whom the Fates haue ordained to be the con∣clusion
of the Castles glory.
In the meane space whilst these things were
doing, the Magitian Mango, hauing intelligence
of the dangerous estate of his Castle, and fearing
the losse of his Lady: suddainely mounts him
on a flying inuisible Diuell, and in a moment a∣lights
within the Castle vpon whom St. George
makes a present conquest. The Castle hath on
the top thereof a fierie Fountaine, which burnes
and sends vp Rackets into the Ayre, some great,
and some lesse, and fire dispearsed many wayes in
great abundance with innumerable lights round
about.
Secondly, the Magitian it taken with his Con∣iuring
Scepter in his hand, and bound to a Pillar
by Saint George, and burned with store of lights
(as before) with Fires and Rackets ascending and
descending too and fro in the Ayre.
Thirdly, the foure Squares of the Tower are
fiered, with aboundance of Lights, with Rackets
flying into the Ayre, with fiers dispearsed, and
scattered diuers and sundry wayes, & with reports
and blowes, some great, and some lesse, accor∣ding
to their making.
Fourthly, the foure Turrets are fired with fire,
and innumerable lights, with aboundance of
Rackets flying too and fro in the Ayre giuing
diuers reports, as before.
Then the maine Castle is fiered, and vpon two
of the corner Turets are two Globes fiered, and
betwixt each Globe at two other corner Turrets,
are a-men, catching as it were at the Globes wch
still turne from them, and they chasing and fol∣lowing
the Globes, still burning and turning till
all be extinguished with fire: alwayes Rackets
flying and reports thwacking, & Lights burning.
