  1. Achilles' sword would certainly bestow
  2. A cure as certain as it gave the blow.
  3. Hunters, who follow flying game, give o'er
  4. When the prey's caught, hope still leads on before;
  5. We, thine own slaves, feel thy tyrannic blows.
  6. While thy tame hand's unmov'd against thy foes.
  7. On men disarm'd, how can you gallant prove ?
  8. And I was long ago disarm'd by love.
