Now, while their part is weak and fears, march hence:

Where men are ready lingering ever hurts.[602]

In ten years wonn'st thou France: Rome may be won

With far less toil, and yet the honour's more;

Few battles fought with prosperous success

May bring her down, and with her all the world.

Nor shalt thou triumph when thou com'st to Rome,

Nor Capitol be adorn'd with sacred bays;

Envy denies all; with thy blood must thou

Aby thy conquest past:[603] the son decrees290
