The Civil Wars Between the Two Houses of Lancaster and York (Selection)

114

Such wrack of others' blood thou didst behold

O furious Hotspur, ere thou lost thine own!

235

Which now, once lost, that heat in thine wax'd cold,

And soon became thy Army overthrown;

And O, that this great spirit, this courage bold,

Had in some good cause been rightly shown!

So had not we thus violently then

240

Have term'd that rage, which valor should have been.
