My maw is ever empty for their blood,

“On! on!” I cry for newer prey;

My master Mars doth urge me take the field

Myself to slaughter and to slay.

Away with peace and arbitration’s hand,

’Neath whose pale spell I envious quake:

They only dare to cross my boist’rous path;

Them can I never bend nor break.

But on I go, and when my wreak is o’er

And Mars requites me for my pain,
