Their Hydra heads, and [the false North displays]
[Her broken league] to [imp their serpent wings].
O yet a nobler task awaits thy hand
(For what can war but endless war still breed?) 10
Till truth and right from violence be freed,
And public faith cleared from the shameful brand
Of public fraud. In vain doth [Valor] bleed,
While [Avarice and Rapine] share the land.
