To the joint duty as an useful friend;

The leader too declared, with frown severe,

That none should pawn a robe that kings might wear;

And much it moved him, when he Hamlet play'd,

290

To see his Father's Ghost so drunken made.

Then too the temper, the unbending pride

Of this ally would no reproof abide:—

So, leaving these, he march'd away and join'd

Another troop, and other goods purloin'd;
