Christmastide: Its History, Festivities, and Carols

by William Sandys

I’ll send thee to Satan ere thou be three days’ old.

But, hold, Prince George, before thou go away,

Either thou or I must die this bloody day;

Some mortal wounds thou shalt receive by me,

So let us fight it out most manfully.

[Exeunt.

Act II.—Scene I.

Alexander and Prince George fight: the latter is wounded, and falls.

King of Egypt speaks.
