The Dynasts : Parts First And Second

SCENE m PART SECOND
MOORE That's good! Is Paget anywhere about?
COLBORNE

SURGEONS (after a hasty examination)
You must be borne In to your lodgings instantly, Sir John. Please strive to stand the motion—if you can ; They will keep step, and bear you steadily.
MOORE Anything. . . . Surely fainter ebbs that fire ?
COLBORNE

They lift him by stretching their sashes under the blanket, and begin moving off. A light waggon enters.
MOORE
Who's in that waggon ?
