IV Was never wight that heard that shrilling sownd, But trembling feare did feel in every vaine; 30 Three miles it might be easie heard around, And Ecchoes three answerd it selfe againe: No false enchauntment, nor deceiptfull traine, Might once abide the terror of that blast, But presently was voide and wholly vaine: 35 No gate so strong, no locke so firme and fast,
