Prey, each on each, with moat and wall the same!

Search, wretched! search all round thine either coast,

And then look inland, in thy bosom, see

If peace in any part of thee thou know'st!

What though Justinian made new reins for thee,

What boots it if the saddle remain void?

Without his mending thy disgrace were less.

And O ye tribe that ought to be employed

In your devotions, and let Cæsar press

The seat of Cæsar if God's word you heed,
