So was it paid. Then we went forth together,

I in her woman’s garments, following her,

Who wore the habit of the soldier slain:

And she went clear: but I, for some suspicion

Was questioned at the gate. Of those two men,

One I slew straight: the other, as I struck,

Thrust thro’ my arm, yet not so hurtfully

But that he fell for it too. But thence alarm

Was given: I fled pursued, and gat me clear,

Leaping your garden wall.
