Large Coach they saw from certain Hill descending,
Grand Troop withall, that way but slowly tending
I' th' borders Road, where they should joyn below;
On side thereof great single Person go,
There walking down, whose Garments Stately view'd;
Whom they did strait Ambassador conclude
From their young King, with large attendant Train
Returning now for Arcadie again,
Well known by them, Good, noble Lord esteem'd,
Great Friend withall to th' Prince Orontes seem'd,
Orsamnes both; which wonder caus'd, that He
Prov'd so imploy'd for Trust, and Dignity.
Thus; mounted strait, Disguis'd; the Women on
Spread Saddle-Cloth's, this Plot Resolv'd upon.
