Uploader's Comments
EIGHT FRUITFUL BRANCHES STILL ARE SPRINGING SOUND,
THOUGH HERE THE ROOTE LYES DEAD WITHIN THE GROUND,
TWO HUSBANDS IN THEIR TOOMBES DIVIDED LIE
WHO BOTH DID IN THE BED OF HONOR DYE,
BUT HERE THE KING OF TERRORS (O UNJUST !)
AT LAST HAS LAY'D THIS HONOR IN THE DUST,
TILL THAT WHICH HERE IS IN DISHONOUR SOWN,
BE RAYSED IN HONOR TO A GLORIOUS THRONE
