[1] The rebels sore kindled in wrath with this an|swer, and deniall of their sute, came running downe from the hill, and assaulting the gates, were beaten off with shot of arrowes and other weapons. And yet such rage appéered among the rebels, that the boies and yoong lads shewed themselues so desperat in gathering vp the arrowes, that when they saw and felt the same sticking in some part of their bodies, they would plucke them foorth, and deliuered them to their bow-men, that they might bestow the same again at the citizens. In all this broile (a thing note|worthie) the seditious sort minding nothing more than the compassing of their purpose, had as little staie of themselues in this their outrage, as a bull at the sight of a cow, or a stoned horsse at the view of a mare; according vnto the old saieng of the poet:

Non facile est taurum visa retinere iuuenca,

Fortis equus visae semper adhinnit equae.
