Th' assailants fled them like a frighted herd;

Resolving now no more to fight, but lurk

Trench'd in their line, or earth'd within a work.

Where, not like soldiers they, but watchmen, creep,

Arm'd for no other office, but to sleep;

They, whose bold charge whole armies did amaze,

30Rend'ring them faint and heartless at the gaze,

To see Resolve and Naked Valour charms

Of higher proof than all their massy arms;

They, whose bright swords ruffled the proudest troop
