Which ne'er shook hands, nor bid farewell to him,

Till he unseam'd him from the nave to chaps,

And fix'd his head upon our battlements.—ii, 16-23.

Except they meant to bathe in reeking wounds,

Or memorize another Golgotha,

I cannot tell.—ii, 39-41.

Till that Bellona's bridegroom, lapp'd in proof,

Confronted him with self-comparisons,

Point against point rebellious, arm 'gainst arm,

Curbing his lavish spirit.—ii, 54-57.
