THere, take your orders, and dispatch; Your known faiths will not let me doubt th'observance Of the least circumstance. Yet give me leave (most noble General To ask the reason, since his Highness lest A free dispose at his departure, why You should use so much severity in your commands? Not a man enter the city in forfeiture of his life? their's somewhat hard conditions; I've entered a Kingdom, and helped to win it too, on far easier terms; this o'th' sudden, and so unexpected too may meet with a harsh construction. For mine own part, I've been so long absent, Especially being a poor servant to the state too, I dare conclude I'm lost to all their memories; Nor do I love the Camp so ill, to part with it To win upon their faiths; urge a tedious catalogue Of my dead ancestors, and then search records To show I was their countryman; all this For a cold welcome, or an annual pension; To show my scores of wounds, that tally up So many months pay behind hand: which After seven years' misery in an hospital, Shall be both wiped off together: yet all Are not of my humour. What though your dull fat Senators, those land-Porpices That skip, and frisk i'th' storm they ne'er are hurt with, Those heavy lubbers, leapt in sweaty furs, battening on sleep and ease, lie snorting out The peace poor Soldiers purchase, And not so much as dream of toil, or danger, Sleight what they are ignorant of: yet you (my Lord) May know, if cold lazy recompenses injure Our high deserts such usage kills outright: True Contareno, that is their intent. 'Las we bring no diseases home with us, unless valour be one; no meager troops of thin starvelings, that they should fear a famine from our commerce, we have fed high, though somewhat irreverently: nor return we in our old skins, blue coats, thrummed caps, that harbour so much vermin, they might fear we'd scatter one of Egypt's plagues among them; and make 'em all lousy. Enjoy the freedom of your speech; yet know That they are ignorant of these in junctions, And for a testimony of their loves Unto your fair deservings, are all ready To meet their country's patriots, (so they term you) After their ancient custom, with procession; Show us an enemy then, or danger that is real, And not the birth of fear, and we'll return: Nay, you may stay at home too: At home? 'Tis so: Our sons of peace have caught a surfeit, & would be physicked for't. ha! do they mutiny? do the fierce rams advance their horns, to batter down the walls that kept them safe?
