23 Saul and Ionathan were louely and pleasaunt in their lyues, and in their deathes they were not deuided: They were swyfter then Egles, and stronger then Lions. 24 Ye daughters of Israel weepe ouer Saul, which clothed you in scarlet with pleasures, and hanged ornamentes of golde vpon your apparell. 25 Howe were the mightie slayne in the middest of the battel? O Ionathan thou wast slayne in thyne hye places. 26 Wo is me for thee my brother Ionathan, very kinde hast thou ben vnto me: Thy loue to me was wonderful, passing the loue of women. 27 O how are the mightie ouerthrowen, and the weapons of warre destroyed? 2 Samuel 1:23-27, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
