Were hardened with that holy water dew,
Wherein he fell, or sharper edge did feel,
Or his baptized hands now greater grew;
Or other secret virtue did ensue;
Else never could the force of fleshly arm,
Nor molten metal in his blood embrew;
For till that stownd could never wight him harm,
By subtlety, nor slight, nor might, nor mighty charm.
