Soon wilt thou see the power we have in store,
When thou hast showed us all thou hast to show,
For prating peace away is easier far
Than breaking through the serried ranks of war.
Scipio.
Thou speakest truth; and now to make it plain
That I can treat in peace, in war command,
Your proffered friendship I do now disdain;
I here remain the sworn foe of your land,
