Committing me unto my brother’s love;
Who led me instantly unto his cave,
145 There stripp’d himself, and here upon his arm
The lioness had torn some flesh away,
Which all this while had bled; and now he fainted
And cried, in fainting, upon Rosalind.
Brief, I recover’d him, bound up his wound;
150 And, after some small space, being strong at heart,
He sent me hither, stranger as I am,
To tell this story, that you might excuse
