3262At the sharpe Rowell, which he freats at rather

3263Then any jot obaies; seekes all foule meanes

3264Of boystrous and rough Iadrie, to dis-seate

3265His Lord, that kept it bravely: when nought serv'd,

3266When neither Curb would cracke, girth breake nor diffring(plunges

3267Dis-roote his Rider whence he grew, but that

3268He kept him tweene his legges, on his hind hoofes

3289Take her: I die.

3290Pal. Thy brave soule seeke Elizium.

3291Emil. Ile close thine eyes Prince; blessed soules be with(thee,

3292Thou art a right good man, and while I live,

3293This day I give to teares.

3294Pal. And I to honour.

3295Thes. In this place first you fought: ev'n very here

3296I sundred you, acknowledge to the gods

3297Our thankes that you are living:

3298His part is playd, and though it were too short
