Agentes, & consentientes, pari pœna puniendi.
A Trompetter, the Captaines captiue leade,Whoe pardon crau'de, and saide, he did no harme:
And for his life, with tremblinge longe did pleade,
Whereat, quoth they, and hal'de him by the arme:
Althoughe, thie hande did neuer strike a stroke,
Yet with thie winde, thou others did'st prouoke.
