Written at the close of Canto II Book V of The Faerie Queene.
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.
