That year expir'd, Arcadian Merchant, friend
Landing by chance, She seen, did strait attend;
Told her Lord's life, withdrawn as Pastor tho;
Fair Daughter's Death, whence Tears did Cheeks o're-flow:
Had that young King still breath'd, sh' had found him dead,
Soon both return'd, made shorter by the Head.
