No matter. Had you courage at that moment

To prove you held the simple heart of duty

The larger mood would not be urgent now.

Then look to’t well if you—Ho, ho! I see

Another loophole yet remains if you

Scarce relish combat with him, and in truth

’Twere risky play. Best ’ware him. So you’ll enter

For a mild bout with lions and with tigers

In this brute-battle that he now ordains.

Sameas.
