As we have warranty: her death was doubtful;

“Her obsequies have been as far enlarg’d / As we have warranty: her death was
doubtful; / And, but that great command o’ersways the order, / She should in ground
unsanctified have lodg’d / Till the last trumpet; for charitable prayers, / Shards, flints and
pebbles should be thrown on her…” (5.1.73-78).

To have prov’d most royal: and, for his passage,°

Becomes the field,° but here shows much amiss.
Go, bid the soldiers shoot.
