Their Host mean-while Thirsander imploy'd with speed
For Hockney Coach, least there disturbance breed
That Troop found Dead: was soon inform'd agen,
None could be got that day, hir'd forth as then.
One they might have next Morn by th' early'st Hour:
Things proving thus they gave him second pow'r
That to bespeak. Then, since their Parlor spar'd,
And Room for th' Lords above. They had declar'd,
(Kept Garret for themselves till Morn disclos'd)
Clermanthe strait upon the Bed repos'd.
