That head of his, which could not keep a crown

But having but my keys, and not my brand,
I only knocked his head from out his hand.

On earth, yet ventured in my face to advance
A claim to those of martyrs—like my own:

When I cut ears off, I had cut him down;
But having but my keys, and not my brand,
I only knocked his head from out his hand.
