Pitiful and lamentable was their unpitied and well performed
slaughter. To see even a bear (which is the most cruelest of
all beasts) too too bloodily overmatched, and deformedly rent
in pieces by an unconscionable number of curs, it would move
compassion against kind, and make those that (beholding him
at the stake yet uncoped with) wish him a suitable death to his
ugly shape, now to recall their hard-hearted wishes, and moan
him suffering as a mild beast in comparison of the foul-mouthed
mastiffs, his butchers; even such compassion did those overmatched
ungracious Munsterians obtain of many indifferent eyes, who now
thought them (suffering) to be sheep brought innocent to the
shambles, whenas before they deemed them as a number of
wolves up in arms against the shepherds.
