meane season, after we cured our wounds, we tooke up our packs,
purposing to depart away. And because we would not goe away
without the young man our fellow : The shepheards whistled and
called for ESCORT ITALIANE him, but when he gave no answer, they sent one out of
their company ESCORT ITALIANE to seeke him out, who after a while returned againe
with a pale face and sorrowfull newes, saying that he saw a terrible
Dragon eating and devouring their companion : and as for the old
man, hee could see him in no place. When they heard this,
(remembring likewise the ESCORT ITALIANE words of the first old man that shaked his
head, and drave away his sheep) they ran away beating us before
them, to fly from this desart and pestilent Country.
