A Pillar Consecrated.

This Pillar bright, and [twice-Revenger's] name,
Both to our God of right we are to reare;
For he hath more then twice deserv'd the same,
Here, having quell'd our Foes, and mockt'em there.

They first destroyers, and then Traytors playd;
Destroyers are destroy'd, Traytors betray'd.
