Is it becoming of the due respect

And awful honour of a god elect,

A wound unworthy of our state to feel,

Patient of human hands, and earthly steel?

}

{ Or seems it just, the sister should restore

{ A second sword, when one was lost before,

{ And arm a conquered wretch against his conqueror?

For what, without thy knowledge and avow,

Nay more, thy dictate, durst Juturna do?
