She lived in storm and strife. / Her soul had such desire / For what proud death may bring / That it could not endure / The common good of life, / But lived as 'twere a king / That packed his marriage day / With banneret and pennon, / Trumpet and kettledrum, / And the outrageous cannon, / To bundle Time away / That the night come.
