In execration, to call down the fires

Of yon avenging heaven, whose rapid shafts

But for such guilt were aimless; be they heap’d

Upon the traitor’s head!—Scorn make his name

Her mark for ever!

Mon. In our passionate blindness,

We send forth curses, whose deep stings recoil

Oft on ourselves.

Pro. Whate’er fate hath of ruin

Fall on his house! What! to resign again
