First lines

Fight, since thou must; strike quick and fierce, / So when this tyrant for too long / Hath shook the blood out of his ears / He may have learned the price of wrong.

Let him learn this, that the due grief / Of his own vice he cannot ban / By outrage of a highway thief; / Let him remember the Corsican,

Whom England only durst not dread / By sea or shore, but faced alone, / Nor stayed for pity of her dead / Until the despot's day was done.

Strike, England, quickly, make an end / Of him who seeks a deal with thee. / If he would bargain for thy friend, / What would he trade for Liberty?
