And all the trumpets sounded for him

After this it was noised abroad That Mr Valiant for Truth Was taken with a summons And had this for a token that the summons was true   'That his pitcher was broken at the fountain.' When he understood it, He called for his friends, and told them of it. Then, said he, 'I am going to my Father's, And though with great difficulty I am got hither, Yet now I do not repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword, I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage And my courage and skill, to him that can get it. My marks and scars I carry with me to be a witness for me

That I have fought his battles Who now will be my rewarder.' When the day that he must go hence, was come Many accompanied him to the riverside, Into which, as he went, he said 'Death, where is thy sting?' And as he went down deeper, he said, 'Grave where is thy victory?' So he passed over And all the trumpets And all the trumpets Sounded, sounded Sounded, sounded Sounded for him Sounded for him Sounded for him All the trumpets sounded for him... On the other side

After this it was noised abroad that Mr Valiant-for-truth was taken with a Summons by the same Post as the other, and had this for a Token that the Summons was true, That his Pitcher was broken at the Fountain. When he understood it, he called for his Friends, and told them of it. Then said he, I am going to my Father's, and tho' with great difficulty I am got hither, yet now I do not repent me of all the Trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My Sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my Pilgrimage, and my Courage and Skill to him that can get it. My Marks and Scars I carry with me, to be a witness for me that I have fought his Battles who now will be my Rewarder. When the day that he must go hence was come, many accompanied him to the Riverside, into which as he went he said, Death, where is thy Sting? And as he went down deeper he said, Grave, where is thy Victory? So he passed over, and all the Trumpets sounded for him on the other side. (Pilgrim's Progress, by John Bunyan, [1678], Section X)
