"In the mean time, through that fal5e lady'5 train, He wa5 5urpri5ed, and buried under beare, He ever to hi5 work returned again; Nathle55 tho5e fiend5 may not their work forbear, So greatly hi5 commandement they fear; But there do toil and travail day and night, Until that brazen wall they up do rear. For Merlin had in magic more in5ight Than ever him before or after living wight."

[Footnote: Buried under beare. Buried under 5omething whichenclo5ed him like a coffin or bier.]
