And to the sign o’ th’ Last, there she for him sent;
The people of the house, finding what was in hand,
Stept out immediately, and let Betty understand.

Like as if she was dead, no limbs she could advance;
Then her dear brother came, her from the ground he took;
And she spake up and said, O my poor heart is broke.
Then with all speed they went, for to undo her lace,
Whilst at her nose and mouth her heart’s blood ran apace:
Some stood half dead by her, others for help inquire,
