LON. On, Let us go on. BES. Go on, brave Sergius. It doth strike my soul, (And, who can scape the stroke, that hath a soul, Or, but the smallest air of Man within him?) To see them swell with treasure; which they pour Out i'their riots, eating, drinking, building, I, i' the sea: planing of Hills with Valleys; And raising Valleys above Hills, whilst we Have not, to give our Body's Necessaries. They ha' their change of Houses, Manors, Lordships; We scarce a fire, or poor household Lar. They buy rare Attic statues, Tyrian hangings, Ephesian pictures, and Corinthian plate, Attalic garments, and, now newfound, Gems Since Pompey went for Asia; which they purchase At price of Provinces. The River Phasis Cannot afford 'em Fowl; nor Lucrine Lake Oysters enough: Circei, too, is searched To please the witty Gluttony of a meal. Their ancient Habitations they neglect, And set up new; Then, if the Echo like not In such a room, they pluck down those; build newer, Alter them too; and, by all frantic ways, Vex their wild wealth, as they molest the people, From whom they force it; Yet, they cannot tame, Or overcome their riches: Not, by making, Baths, Orchards, Fishpools, letting in of seas, Here; and, then there, forcing 'em out again, With mountainous heaps; for which the Earth hath lost Most of her ribs, as entrails, being now Wounded no less for Marble, then for gold. We, all this while, like calm, benumbed Spectators, Sat, till our seats do crack; and do not hear The thundering ruins, whilst, at home, our wants, Abroad, our debts do urge us, our states daily Bending to bad, our hopes to worse: And, what Is left, but to be crushed? Wake, wake brave Friends, And meet the liberty you oft have wished for. Behold, renown, riches, and glory court you. Fortune holds out these to you, as rewards. Me thinks (though I were dumb) th'affair itself The opportunity, your needs, and dangers, With the brave spoil the war brings, should invite you. Use me your General, or Soldier: Neither, My Mind, nor Body shall be wanting to you. And, being Consul, I not doubt t'effect, All that you wish: If Trust not flatter me, And you had, rather, still be slaves, then free. Free, free. 'tis freedom. Freedom we all stand for. Why, these are noble voices. Nothing wants then, But that we take a solemn Sacrament, To strengthen our design. And so to act it. Differing hurts, where powers are most prepared. Yet, ere we enter into open act, (With favour) 't were no loss, if't might be inquired What the Condition of these Arms would be? ay, and the means, to carry us through. How, Friends! Think you, that I would bid you, grasp the wind? Or call you to th'embracing of a cloud? Put your known valours on so dear a business, And have no other second than the Danger, Nor other Garland than the loss? Become Your own assurances. And, for the means, Consider, first, the stark security

LON. On, Let vs go on. BES. Go on, braue Sergius. It doth strike my soule, (And, who can scape the stroke, that hath a soule, Or, but the smallest ayre of Man within him?) To see them swell with treasure; which they poure Out i'their riots, eating, drinking, building, I, i' the sea: planing of Hilles with Valleyes; And raysing Vallies aboue Hilles, whilst wee Haue not, to giue our Bodies Necessaries. They ha' their change of Houses, Manors, Lordships; We scarce a fire, or poore houshold Lar. They buy rare Atticke statues, Tyrian hangings, Ephesian pictures, and Corinthian plate, Attalicke garments, and, now new-found, Gemmes Since Pompey went for Asia; which they purchase At price of Prouinces. The Riuer Phasis Cannot affourd 'hem Fowle; nor Lucrine Lake Oysters enow: Circei, too, is search'd To please the witty Gluttonie of a meale. Their ancient Habitations they neglect, And set vp new; Then, if the Echo like not In such a roome, they plucke downe those; build newer, Alter them too; and, by all franticke waies, Vexe their wild wealth, as they molest the people, From whom they force it; Yet, they cannot tame, Or ouercome their riches: Not, by making, Bathes, Orchards, Fish-pooles, letting in of seas, Here; and, then there, forcing 'hem out againe, With mountaynous heapes; for which the Earth hath lost Most of her ribbes, as entrayles, being now Wounded no lesse for Marble, then for gold. We, all this while, like calme, benum'd Spectators, Sit, till our seates do cracke; and doe not heare The thundring ruines, whilst, at home, our wants, Abroad, our debts do vrge vs, our states daily Bending to bad, our hopes to worse: And, what Is left, but to be crush'd? Wake, wake braue Friends, And meete the liberty you oft haue wish'd for. Behold, renowne, riches, and glory court you. Fortune holds out these to you, as rewards. Me thinkes (though I were dumbe) th'affaire it selfe The opportunity, your needes, and dangers, With the braue spoile the warre brings, should inuite you. Vse me your Generall, or Souldier: Neither, My Minde, nor Body shall be wanting to you. And, being Consul, I not doubt t'effect, All that you wish: If Trust not flatter me, And you had, rather, still be slaues, then free. Free, free. Tis freedome. Freedome we all stand for. Why, these are noble voices. Nothing wants then, But that we take a solemne Sacrament, To strengthen our designe. And so to act it. Differring hurts, where powers are most prepar'd. Yet, ere we enter into open act, (With fauour) 't were no losse, if't might be enquir'd What the Condition of these Armes would be? I, and the meanes, to carry vs through. How, Friendes! Thinke you, that I would bid you, graspe the winde? Or call you to th'embracing of a cloude? Put your knowne valures on so deare a businesse, And haue no other second then the Danger, Nor other Gyrlond then the losse? Become Your owne assurances.
