Which, like dumb mouths, do ope their ruby lips,

To beg the voice and utterance of my tongue,

A curse shall light upon the limbs[92][93] of men;

Domestic fury and fierce civil strife

265Shall cumber all the parts of Italy;

Blood and destruction shall be so in use,

And dreadful objects so familiar,

That mothers shall but smile when they behold

Their infants quartered with[94] the hands of war;

270All pity chok'd with custom of fell deeds:
