Have been suck'd up by some devouring sand.

You wretched agents for a kingdom's fall,

Who yet yourselves the Modell'd Army call;

Who carry on and fashion your design

By Sylla's, Sylla's red proscription's line,

(Rome's Comet once, as you are ours) for shame

80Henceforth no more usurp the soldier's name:

Let not that title in fair battles gain'd

Be by such abject things as you profan'd;

For what have you achiev'd, the world may guess
