Paul.

Musick; awake her: Strike:

'Tis time: descend: be Stone no more: approach:

Strike all that looke vpon with meruaile: Come:

Ile ﬁll your Graue vp: stirre: nay, come away:

Bequeath to Death your numnesse: (for from him,

Deare Life redeemes you) you perceiue she stirres:

Start not: her Actions shall be holy, as

You heare my Spell is lawfull: doe not shun her,

Vntill you see her dye againe; for then

You kill her double: Nay, present your Hand:

When she was young, you woo’d her: now, in age,

Is she become the Suitor?
