BUT I remember, when the fight wn done,
When 1 was dry with nge and extrema
toil,
Bieathltfs and faint, leaning upon my (word,
Came there a certain Lord, neat, trimly dreft:
Freih a* a bridegroom} and hit chin, new
•reap’d,
Shew’d like a ftubble-lahd at harveft home.
He waa perfumed like a miliner:
And ’twixt hit finger and his thumb he held
A pouncet-box, which ever and anon
He gave his note (and took’t away again ;
Who, therewith angry when it next came
there,
Took it in fnuff.) And ftill he fmil’d and
talk’d:
And as the foldiers bare dead bodies by,
He call’d them untaught knaves, unmannerly,
To bring a flovenly unhandfome corfe
Betwixt the wind and his nobility.
With many holiday and lady terms
He queftion’d me; among the reft demanded
My prifoners in your Majefty's behalf.
I then, all fmarting with my wounds, being
cold,
Out of my grief and my impatience
To be fo pefter’d with a popinjay,
Anfwer’d negleftingly, I know not what;
He Ihould, or Ihould not; for he made
me mad,
To fee him Chine fo brifle, and fmell io fweet,
And talk fo like a waiting gentlewoman,
Of guns, and drums, and wounds—(God fave
thematk!),
And telling me the fovereign’ft thing on earth
Was parmacity, for an inward bruife;
And that it was great pity, fe it was,
That villainous falt-petre Ihould be digg’d
Out of .the bowels of the harmlefs earth,
Which many a good tall fellow had deilroy’d
So cowardly : and but for thefe vile guns,
He would himfclf have been a loldicr.
