“In peace, there’s nothing so becomes a man,
As modest stillness, and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the Tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, commune vp the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favor’d rage”

“Now entertain conjecture of a time,
When creeping murmur and the poring dark
Fills the wide vessel of the universe.”
