233Such wrack of others' blood thou didst behold
O furious Hotspur, ere thou lost thine own!
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
Have term'd that rage, which valor should have been.
