His arms far off; and, farther than the rest, His cuirass; through the greenwood wide was strowed All his good gear, in fine; and next his vest He rent; and, in his fury, naked showed His shaggy paunch, and all his back and breast.
And 'gan that phrensy act, so passing dread, Of stranger folly never shall be said.
