SECTION VI. Paraphrase this passage:—

"Yet did the King, almost forsaken quite
By all his men, maintain a noble fight,
As if ashamed to outlive the sad

Discomfiture which his own rashness made.
Nor did his faltering hand e'en then forget
To play a soldier's part; appearing yet
Worthy the fear of his assailing foe,

While death attended every furious blow."
THOMAS MAY.
