Now stretch at every stroke, and hammer out

A new, and nobler fortune;

Else may the peaceful ground restore the dead,

And give up old Antigonus again.

Cleom. I thank thee; thou hast added flame to fury.

The Spartan genius shall once more be roused;

Our household gods, that droop upon our hearths,

Each from his venerable face shall brush

The Macedonian soot, and shine again.

Panth. Now you confess the Spartan.
