Then from her arms he ran straightway

In fury, out his sword he drew.

Her hands as white as lilies fair,

Most dreadfully she then did wring

She said, my death’s approaching near,

Would I pity take and comfort him

It only brings my fatal fall,

’Tis I who must receive the wound

The crimson dye forsook her cheeks,

At his feet she dropp’d upon the ground.
