SCENE III. -- A room in UPSALL'S house. Night. EDITH, WHARTON, and other Quakers seated at a table. UPSALL seated near them, Several books on the table.
WHARTON. / William and Marmaduke, our martyred brothers, / Sleep in untimely graves, if aught untimely / Can find place in the providence of God, / Where nothing comes too early or too late. / I saw their noble death. They to the scaffold / Walked hand in hand. Two hundred armed men / And many horsemen guarded them, for fear / Of rescue by the crowd, whose hearts were stirred.
