As one they mov’d, they fought, they fed,

And safety rose by union bred,

Nor this alone the good they found,

The private bliss of each went round;

Hence doubly bless’d the gen’rous heart,

Which scorns the bliss it can’t impart.

From day to day the Lion came,

But matters still appear’d the same:

This smote his inmost soul with grief,

For much he long’d for fav’rite beef;
