'Peace, peace,' quoth she, 'Albino! thou dost rave,

Why dwells such language on thy wretching tongue?

Wilt thou just vengeance force to dig thy grave?

Think'st thou stern Fate will suffer such a wrong?

Pinion thy words; let them not soar so high,

1310Lest they should gash the clouds and ope the sky

We must not play with sharps, nor kiss the flame,

Dally with heaven, or upbraid the gods,

Lest their just anger make their powers tame

Such saucy scandals with their plagues and rods.
