Lucasta | ||
[De Scævola] Englished.
The hand by which no King but Serjeant dies,Mutius in fire doth freely Sacrifice;
The Prince admires the Hero, quits his pains,
And Victor from the seige peace entertains;
Romes more oblig'd to Flames, than Arms or pow'r,
When one burnt hand shall the whole war devour.
