An episode in The faerie queene by Edmund Spenser, book I, canto 6: "The wyld woodgods, arrived in the place, / There find the virgin, doolfull, desolate, / With ruffled rayments, and fayre blubbred face, / As her outrageous foe had left her late ; / And trembling yet through feare of former hate. / All stand amazed at so uncouth sight, / And gin to pittie her unhappie state : / All stand astonied at her beautie bright, / In their rude eyes unworthie of so wofull plight." Una is alarmed by them, but they treat her with awe and respect
