Samson. I dread him not, nor all his giant brood,

Though fame divulge him father of five sons,

All of gigantic size, Goliah chief.

Chorus. He will directly to the lords, I fear, 1250

And with malicious counsel stir them up

Some way or other yet further to afflict thee.

Samson. He must allege some cause, and offered fight

Will not dare mention, lest a question rise

Whether he durst accept the offer or not; 1255

And that he durst not plain enough appeared.
