Our arms again, and feel our fiery horses,

Like proud seas under us! Our good swords now

(Better the red-eyed God of war ne’er wore)

Ravish’d our sides, like age, must run to rust,

And deck the temples of those Gods that hate us:

These hands shall never draw ’em out like lightning,

To blast whole armies more.

Arc. No, Palamon,

Those hopes are prisoners with us: here we are,

And here the graces of our youth must wither,
