ABSTRACT

With haire which careles on hir forhead hong, With brest which blowes had bIoudiIy benumb'd, With stooping head, and body down-ward bent, Enlast hir in the corde, and with all force This life-dead man couragiously uprais'd. The bloud with paine into hir face did flowe, Hir sinewes stiff, her selfe did breathles grow. 1650

The people which beneath in flocks beheld, Assis ted her with gesture, speach, desire: Cride and incourag'd her, and in their soules Did sweate, and labor, no whit lesse then she, Who never tir'd in labor, held so long Helpt by her women, and hir constant heart, 1 That Antol!), was drawne into the tombe, And there (I thinke) of dead augments the summe.
