Ent'ring that outmost Door (why open sound
Anon declar'd) they did the Youth surround,
Thrust forth by Stabs his Noisless, musing Soul
In bleeding Stream; with Corps then softly stole
(Born longest way) to th' small low Walk exprest,
By th' Lady there beheld, whilst on his Freast
Hat, Coat and Sword (convenient place) where laid,
Till cross the Green to th' planted Palme convey'd.
