    Like one, that on a lonesome road
    Doth walk in fear and dread,
    And having once turned round, walks on,
    And turns no more his head;
    Because he knows a frightful fiend
    Doth close behind him tread.

To laud the wretch in order;
But where ye feel read more

To laud the wretch in order;
But where ye feel your honor grip,
Let that aye be your border.
