<lb ed="G"/><lb n="10" ed="F1"/>Shall daub her lips with her own children's blood; |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="11" ed="F1"/>No more shall trenching war channel her fields, |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="12" ed="F1"/>Nor bruise her flowers with the armed hoofs |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="13" ed="F1"/>Of hostile paces: those opposed eyes, |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="15" ed="F1"/>All of one nature, of one substance bred, |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="16" ed="F1"/>Did lately meet in the intestine shock |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="17" ed="F1"/>And furious close of civil butchery |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="18" ed="F1"/>Shall now, in mutual well-beseeming ranks, |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="26" ed="F1"/>Forthwith a power of England shall we levy; |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="27" ed="F1"/>Whose arms were moulded in their mothers' womb |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="28" ed="F1"/>To chase these pagans in those holy fields |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="29" ed="F1"/>Over whose acres walk'd those blessed feet |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="30" ed="F1"/>Which fourteen hundred years ago were nail'd |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="31" ed="F1"/>For our advantage on the bitter cross. |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="32" ed="F1"/>But this our purpose now is twelve month old, |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="305" ed="F1"/>If all the year were playing holidays, |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="354" ed="F1"/>Breathless and faint, leaning upon my sword, |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="355" ed="F1"/>Came there a certain lord, neat, and trimly dress'd, |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="356" ed="F1"/>Fresh as a bridegroom; and his chin new reap'd |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="359" ed="F1"/>And 'twixt his finger and his thumb he held |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="360" ed="F1"/>A pouncet-box, which ever and anon |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="361" ed="F1"/>He gave hos nose and took 't away again; |

<lb n="40" ed="G"/><lb n="362" ed="F1"/>Who therewith angry, when it next came there, |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="364" ed="F1"/>And as the soldiers bore dead bodies by, |
| 1178 |
<lb ed="G"/><lb n="365" ed="F1"/>He call'd them untaught knaves, unmannerly, |
| 1179 |
<lb ed="G"/><lb n="366" ed="F1"/>To bring a slovenly unhandsome corse |
| 1180 |
<lb ed="G"/><lb n="367" ed="F1"/>Betwixt the wind and his nobility, |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="368" ed="F1"/>With many holiday and lady terms |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="378" ed="F1"/>Of guns and drums and wounds,—God save the mark!— |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="379" ed="F1"/>And telling me the sovereign'st thing on earth |

<lb ed="G"/><lb n="380" ed="F1"/>Was parmaceti for an inward bruise; |
