The King was then some nine miles off from Town,
At Country-Seat belonging to the Crown,
Silendros call'd; those Lords that time; howere,
I'th' City with their Train, Resided there.
Which known o'er night, scarce Four, nor Break of Day;
That Groom, Lodg'd at his Feet, call'd up straitway
The Doctor, Son (both in their Cloaths) desiring
Their help, his Lord found near to gasps, expiring.
Ere long by Them. Declar'd that he was Dead;
Convulsion-fits, joyn'd Apoplex in th' Head.
