Scene 14.
Enter Madam Jantil alone as rising out of her Bed, her Mantle wrapt about her, and in her night linnen.
MAdam Iantil.
I saw his Face pale as a Lilly white, His wounds fresh bleeding blood like rubies bright; His Eyes were looking steadfastly on me, Smiling as joying in my Company; He mov'd his lips as willing was to speak, But had no voice, and all his Spirits weak; He shak'd his hand as if he bid farewell, That brought the message which his tongue would tell; He's dead, he's dead, a sunder break my heart, Let's meet in Death, though Wars our lives did part.
After she had walkt silently a turn or two about her Chamber her eyes be∣ing sixt on the ground, she return'd as to her Bed.
Exit.
