Ber.And thou wilt go? Alas! my bursting heart!
Æl.
My country waits my march, I must away;
47
Of certain death, yet here I would not stay.
But thus to leave thee, Bertha, doth asswaie
More torturing pains than can be said by tyngue.
Yet rouse thy honour up, and wait the day,
When round about me songs of war they sing.
O Bertha, strive my sorrow to accaie,
And joyous see my arms, dight out in war's array.
