SCENE X.
To them LEATHERSIDES.MOTHER.
Oh! Leathersides, what means this newsful Look?
LEATHERSIDES.
Through the Piaches as I took my way
To fetch a Girl, I at a distance view'd
Lovegirlo, with great Captain Bilkum fighting,
Lovegirlo push'd, the Captain parry'd, thus
Lovegirlo push'd, he parried again;
Oft did he push, and oft was push'd aside.
At length the Captain with his Body thus,
Threw in a cursed Thrust in Flanconade.
'Twas then—oh! dreadful Horror to relate!
I at a Distance saw Lovegirlo fall,
And look as if he cry'd—oh! I am slain.
[Kissinda sinks into Nonparel's Arms.]
