To face the rigour of our stern decree;
For that resolve, so full of grief and woe,
Made by my kinsmen and my country dear,
Hath caused the fearful, final end ye know.
Quintus Fabius.
This rash endeavour dazzles thee, I fear;
Say, dost thou hold it as a dreadful fate
To keep thy life in all its bloom and cheer?
Scipio.
