“A time will come, not distantly descried,
When to remember ev’ry past dismay
Will be no less a pleasure than a pride;
Hold then courageous on, and keep, I pray,
Your noble hearts in cheer for that victorious day.”
—Tasso, Jerusalem Delivered.
[7:33.] Heart-sick.
“So spoke the apostate angel, though in pain,
Vaunting aloud, but racked with deep despair.”
—Milton, Paradise Lost.
