And what was the very firste worde she sedde?" "Pale was thye ladye's cheeke, Sir Knighte; Blent with no streake of the rosye redde. I put the ringe on her finger smalle: But there is no voice amongste the dedde." There are torches hurryinge to and froe In Raeburne Towerre to-nighte, And the chapelle dothe glowe with lampes alsoe, As if for a brydalle ryte. But where is the bryde? and the brydegroome where? And where is the holye prieste? And where are the guestes that shoulde biddenne be, To partake of the marriage feast?

An agedde manne, those white haires telle, And that bendedde backe and knee; Yette a stalwart knighte at Tewkesburye fighte Was Sir Archibalde Winstanlye. 'Tis a movinge thinge to see the teares Wrunge oute frae an agedde eye, Seldome and slowe, like the scantye droppes Of a fountaine that's neere a-drye. 'Tis a sorrye sighte to see graye haires Brocht downe to the grave with sorrowe! Youth lukes through the cloude of the presente daye For a goldenne gleame to-morrowe. Bot the palsyede hedde, and the feeble knees, Berefte of earthlye staye!.. God help thee nowe, olde Winstanlye! Gude Christians for thee praye!--...
