The
Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
(Together they sing, AMOS leading them.)
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the
still waters.
He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for
his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil; for thou art with me ...
THE SCENE CLOSES
SCENE IV
_After dawn on July 14, 1645, the day of Naseby._
_GENERAL FAIRFAX, with IRETON--now colonel--and two other officers, is
holding a council of war in his tent. He is working with a map. During
the proceedings sentries pass to and fro._
_Fairfax:_
Between Mill Hill, and Sulby Hall, there. Broad Moor--yes. You measure
their numbers at ten thousand, Staines?
_Staines:_
Not more than ten, nor less than eight.
_Fairfax:_
Four thousand or so of them horse?
_Staines:_
It is thought so.
_Fairfax:_
Yes, yes. We are eleven thousand, eh, Pemberton?
_Pemberton:_
Eleven thousand and perhaps three hundred.
_Fairfax:_
Naseby will be three quarters--no, half a mile behind us.
_Ireton:_
The right of the field is boggy, and pitted by rabbits.
