Lucasta.But Ah this ling'ring murdring Farewel!
Death quickly wounds, & wounding cures the ill.
Alexis.
It is the glory of a valiant Lover,
Still to be dying, still for to recover.
Chorus.
Souldiers suspected of their courage goe,
That Ensignes, and their Breasts untorne show:
Love nee're his Standard when his Hoste he sets,
Creates alone fresh-bleeding Bannerets.
