‘For which he by the Greeks his birth-right was deny’d)

‘Impatient of his wrongs, with him brave Brute arose,

‘And of the Trojan youth courageous captains chose,

‘Rais’d earth-quakes with their drums, the ruffling ensigns rear,

‘And gath’ring young and old that rightly Trojan were,

‘Up to the mountains march, thro’ straits and forests strong:

‘Where taking-in the towns pretended to belong

‘Unto that[68] Grecian Lord, some forces there they put:

‘Within whose safer walls their wives and children shut,

‘Into the fields they drew, for liberty to stand.
