Sol non occidat super iracundiam vestram.
Caste swordes awaye, take laurell in your handes,Let not the Sonne goe downe vppon your ire.
Let hartes relente, and breake oulde rancors bandes,
And frendshippes force subdue your rashe desire.
Let desperate wightes, and ruffians, thirst for blood;
Winne foes, with loue; and thinke your conquest good.
