The work for which thou wast foretold
To Israel, and now lyst victorious
Among thy slain self-killd
Not willingly, but tangld in the fold
Of dire necessity”

And in sad cypress let me be laid.
Fly away, fly away, breath,
I am slain by a fair cruel maid.”

Hey lillie, ho lillie lallie,
To the kings daughter o fair England,
To a prize that was won by a slain brothers brand,
I the brave nights so early.”
