First Line: In after-time, a sage of mickle lore
Last Line: The one he struck stone-blind, the other's eyes wox dim.
Variant Title(s): "in After-time, A Sage Of Mickle Lore"";


In after-time, a sage of mickle lore
Yclep'd Typographus, the Giant took,
And did refit his limbs as heretofore,
And made him read in many a learned book,
And into many a lively legend look;
Thereby in goodly themes so training him,
That all his brutishness he quite forsook,
When, meeting Artegall and Talus grim,
The one he struck stone-blind, the other's eyes wox dim.
