  1. (continued from previous page)
    But oh that awful hour
    It would make the nicest flower
    When the emblem of death doth appear
    It was plain in his place
    For those obstacles to embrace
    Yet the sting of a traitor doth fear
    The Lord with him did comply
    He was reconciled to die
    And the supernal seat did all admire
    In his brother's arm locked
    Sure each mortal would be shocked
    For to see this young comely man expire.
