 | The Grecian Story |  |
Day come and Hour, Dorasta, Nurse attending,
Each veil'd withal, from th' upper Field descending;
Pass'd by that Garden door, where Scout did stand,
Arriv'd Vandimont, view'd sign from Nurses Hand
That those they were; least some mistake perchance,
Good Marks beside; he forth did strait advance;
The Lady Arrested so in the Kings name,
Then Treason's charg'd pronounc'd, being in the same.
Joyn'd with her Spouse; the King's Seal'd Warrant shewn:
He Guard could call; best gently walk unknown.
Each veil'd withal, from th' upper Field descending;
Pass'd by that Garden door, where Scout did stand,
Arriv'd Vandimont, view'd sign from Nurses Hand
That those they were; least some mistake perchance,
Good Marks beside; he forth did strait advance;
The Lady Arrested so in the Kings name,
Then Treason's charg'd pronounc'd, being in the same.
Joyn'd with her Spouse; the King's Seal'd Warrant shewn:
He Guard could call; best gently walk unknown.
