Which showers of blood seem rather to incite Than to allay. Anathemas are hurled From both sides; veteran thunders (the brute test 10 Of truth) are met by fulminations new — Tartarean flags are caught at, and unfurled — Friends strike at friends — the flying shall pursue — And Victory sickens, ignorant where to rest! 2-37 ENGLISH REFORMERS IN EXILE Scattering, like birds escaped the fowler's net, Some seek with timely flight a foreign strand; Most happy, re-assembled in a land By dauntless Luth...er freed, could they forget Their Country's woes. But scarcely have they met, 5 Partners in faith, and brothers in distress. Free to pour forth their common thankfulness. Ere hope declines: — their union is beset With speculative notions rashly sown. Whence thickly-sprouting growth of poisonous weeds; 10 Their forms are broken staves; their passions, steeds That master them. How enviably blest Is he who can, by help of grace, enthrone The peace of God within his single breast! 158 THE ECCLESIASTICAL SONNETS 2.38 ELIZABETH Hail, Virgin Queen!
