A mild old man given o'er to peaceful thoughts?

And dost thou summon me unto thine aid,

As one who loves to 'stablish peace? Not so:

For even now my spirit swells with rage,

My grief burns fiercely, and I long to see

Some greater deed than chance or youthful wrath

Would dare attempt. I am not satisfied

With civil war: let brother brother slay.355

Nor yet would this suffice. I wait to see

Some evil done that shall be like my own,
