“Thus come the English with full power upon us; And more than carefully it us concerns To answer royally in our defences, To line and new-repair our towns of war; For England his approaches makes as fierce As waters to the sucking of a gulf.” “On the stage Of my mortality my youth hath acted Some scenes of vanity, drawn out at length By varied pleasures, sweeten'd in the mixture, But tragical in issue.” “Thus to rob a lady Of her good name is an infectious sin Not to be pardoned. Be it false as hell, 'Twill never be redeemed if it be sown Among the people, fruitful to increase All evils they shall hear.” “Prosper me now, my fate—some better genius Than such as waits on troubled passions Direct my courses to a noble issue. * * * * I am punished In mine own hopes by her unlucky fortunes.”
