Long time before I knew, or I had nipt

The treason in the bud; and in an hour

Or less from when we speak, they will go forth,

When all the citizens are wrapt in sleep

And open to the army which lies hid

On board the ships without. They will not shed

The blood of any, since the o'erwhelming force

Will make resistance vain. I never liked
