Find we a time for frighted peace to pant

And breathe shortwinded accents of new broils

No more shall trenching Warre channell her fields,

Nor bruise her Flowrets with the Armed hoofes

Of hostile paces. Those opposed eyes,

Which, like the Meteors of a troubled Heauen,

Did lately meet in the intestine shocke,

And furious cloze of ciuill Butchery,

Shall now in mutuall well‑beseeming rankes

March all one way, and be no more oppos'd
