That, which this General hath lately done,
Although, to make his passage hither smooth,
He Lambert foyl'd, as Lambert foiled Booth;
For, men, and humane actions, whatsoe'r

Shall to himself, or us, most prosp'rous be;
Though, for the present, there is in the One
Hope of much good, and in the other none.
