He that fights and runs away,
Will live to fight another day;
For he that runs may fight again,
Which he can never do that's slain.

She drops her arms, to gain the field:
Secures her conquest by her flight:
And triumphs when she seems to yield.

Hath stuffed the hollow vessels with their power,
To beat us down, the which are down already;
And make a conquest of unhappy,
Whereas no glory 's got to overcome.
