    What should they do? if on they rusht, repulse

    Repeated, and i overthrow

    Doubld, would rehem yet more despisd,

    And to thir foes a laughter; for in view

    And all his Host derided, while they stood

    A while in trouble; but they stood not long,

    Rage prompted them at length, and found them arms [ 635 ]

    Against such hellish mischief fit to oppose.
