I saw and knew him; but, amidst the shouts

Of mariners, and busy care to sling

His horses soon ashore, he saw not me.

Cleom. Then shall I hear of thee once more, dear country!

I fear too soon: shall hear how proud Antigonus

Led o'er Eurota's banks his conquering troops,

And first to wondering Sparta shewed a king,

A king, that was not hers:

Then I shall hear of sacrilege and murders,

And fires, and rapes on matrons, and on maids.
