SCENE the fourth.
Boadicia, Icenians, Ænobarbus and Flaminius at a distance.Boadicia.
Stern pow'r of war, my patroness and guide,

Come then, vindictive goddess in thy terrours;
O'erwhelm with wrath his sacrilegious head,
Who would defraud thy altars: O confound
His ranks, his steeds, his chariots, and thy favour
To me, thy martial votaress, confine,
In sex, like thee, and glowing with thy fires.
