Now for Thersander and Clarvesa, She
His Charge become, good Horse would wanting be:
One saddled strait, Grazing they saw at hand,
That dead Thief's 'twas; then free'd from all Command,
Wild Traveller; Who all that Night (when stray'd)
Orsamnes thus, dress'd Master-like, Comrade
Did follow still: Clermanthe fair behind
Himself should tide, best Guardian design'd:
He seiz'd that Horse; next might those Two be there
Joyn'd in the Pass, lest stop perchance, whate're
That should be us'd: unless By-passage sound
E're long by th' Way, thought dear, convenient Ground.
