Whence bravest wits, brave Stories may begin

To show the world, more then the world would crave,

How all thine intrench’d ground, became one grave.

Thy digged ditches, turn’d a gulfe of blood,

Thy wals defeat, were rear’d with fatall bones:

Thine houses equall with the streetes they stood;

Thy limits come, a Sepulcher of groanes:

Whence Cannons ror’d, from fiery cracking smoake

Twixt two extreames thy desolation broake.
