 | The Grecian Story |  |
Your Nephew, Sir, by th' Prince freed from the stake,
Is gon to Court, Your self same Place must take
To Morrow's noon, by Archers there shot Dead;
Near Ten i'th' Morn the Lady's ravished.
I'm Friend to both, shall safe convey from thrall,
Twelve th' Hour to Night: false Hair and Beard withall
That Trunk does hold, Coat too by chance, large siz'd,
Wait then for me, if lov'd your Life, disguis'd.
