That more then mighty, that Eternall One, Am come to meet thee, who bids not to feare. Nor once respect the armes that thou dost beare. Slaue, marke the earth whereon thounow dost stand, He make thy length to measure so much land, As thou lyest groueling, and within this houre The birds and beasts thy carkasse shall deuoure. " In meantime Dauid, looking in his face, Betweene his temples saw how large a space _ — - 116 MICHAEL DRAYTON. He was to hit, steps backe a yard or two ; The gyant, wond'r...ing what the youth would doe, Whose nimble hand out of his scrip doth bring A pebble-stone, and puts it in his sling ; At which the gyant openly doth ieere, Andj as in scorne, stands leaning on his speare. Which giues young Dauid much content to see, And to himselfe thus secretly saith he : " Stand but one minute still, stand but so fast. And haue at all Philistia at a cast. " When with such slight the shot away he sent. That from his sling as 't had beene lightning went ; And him so full vpon the forehead smit, Which gaue a cracke when his thicke scalpe it hit, As't had beene throwne against some rocke or post, That the shrill clap was heard through either host.
