As a man hath been brought, I will bring into judgment a nation;
Nor shall numbers be pleaded for sin.
And that people to whom I gave in commission the ocean,
To use my waters for fight,
Let them look to the inward things, to the searching of spirit,
And cease from boasting and noise.
Then nation shall cleave unto nation, and Babel shall fall:
They shall speak in a common tongue
And the soul of the Gaul shall leap to the soul of the Briton
Through all disguises and shows;
