CONSTANCE OP CLEVELAND. 233 |
||
|
It was the King's command, am
On the morrow after She should out of hand
To the scaffold go: Her husband was 21s
To bear the sword before her; He must eke, alas J
Give the deadly blow. He refus'd the deed; She bid him to proceed, 210
With a thousand kisses sweet. In this wofull case They did both imbrace,
Which mov'd the ruffians in that place Straight for to discover a*
This concealed murder;
Whereby the lady saved was. The harlot then was hanged, As she well deserved :
This did vertue bring to passe. 220 |
