Of REVENGE

Rome for Revenge; he's no Comedian That acts for Pleasure, but a grim Tragedian, A foul stern Monster, which if we displease him. Death, Wounds and Blood, or nothing can appease him. That cruel Ruffin, that in vain doth strive His off-spring from true Valour to derive This most inhuman Passion now and than, With Violence and Fury hurries man So far from that sweet mildness, wherewith he, Being himself, should ever tempted be, That Man nor Devil can we term him well, For part he hath of Earth, and part of Hell. Poor World! if these thy best Contentments be, Seek Blood and Vengeance you that list for me.
