No,no,but ftrait(like a moil louing bride) 
Flies, lies, and dies, hard by her husbands fide.’ 
In Tufcanetowres what armies did I view 
One harucft,of thde faithful hulbands dead? 
Blccde/D my heart,whilft I record anew. 
How wiues lay by thcm,beating,now their head. 
Sometimes their feet, and wings,& breaft molt true, 1 
Striuing no Idle to be dcliuered.

Or ft riuc they Lion-like to feizc and pray.
