This gracious mention from so great a Lord,
Bow'd Hurgonil with dutious homage down,
Where at his feet he laid his rescu'd Sword;
Which he accepts, but he returns his own.

By this and thine, said gentle Gondibert,
In all distress of various Courts and war,
We interpledge and bind each others heart,
To strive who shall possess griefs greatest share.

Now to Verona hast, and timely bring
Thy wounds unto my tender Sister's care;
This Days sad story to our dreaded King,
And watch what veng'ance Oswald's Friends prepare.

Brave Arnold, and his Rival streight remove;
Where Laura shall bestrew their hallow'd Ground;
Protectours both, and Ornaments of Love;
This said, his Eyes out-weep'd his widest wound.

Tell her now these (Love's faithful Saints) are gon,
The beautie they ador'd, she ought to hide;
For vainly will Love's Miracles be shown,
Since Lovers faith with these brave Rivals dy'd.

Say little Hugo never more shall mourn
In noble Numbers her unkind disdain;
Who now not seeing beautie feels no scorn;
And wanting pleasure, is exempt from pain.

When she with Flowrs Lord Arnold's Grave shall strew,
And hears why Hugo's life was thrown away,
She on that Rival's Hearse will drop a few;
Which merits all that April gives to May.
